The place where the sundial is opened is located in the Qiao Plain in the hinterland of the Aoki Continent in the Sword Realm.
This is the place where the divine veins and holy veins of the Sword Realm converge most densely. There are three divine stone mines in the ground, and the energy of heaven and earth is abundant, which can provide half of the divine energy for the operation of the sundial.
Entering the sea area where Guixu is located, overlooking the Sword Realm coastline shrouded in formations.
I saw that the time rules and time mark light spots between heaven and earth were continuously converging towards the sword world, wrapping the entire world.
In the surrounding space, time fluctuations are extremely active.
Fully turning on the sundial will have a huge impact. Centered on the Infinite Divine Sea, subtle time disturbances can be felt in the star field within hundreds of light years.
However, even at the end of the Middle Ages, when the Holy Monk Xumi mastered more than 50% of the secrets of time, and after fully turning on the sundial, the only place where he could achieve "one day in the sky and one year on the earth" was only in the Central Region.
In other places in the Kunlun realm, such a high proportion of time is far from being achieved.
Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation and combat power are even better than those of the original Holy Monk Xumi, but the secret of time that can maintain the sundial is only 50%. Moreover, the sundial is seriously damaged.
Therefore, only in the hundreds of thousands of miles at the core of the Quechu Plain can the time ratio reach a day-to-year ratio.
The further outward you go, the proportion of time decreases.
A complete sundial, driven by 50% of the secret of time, can support the training of powerful men like Wentian Jun and the Master of the God of Death Island.
But now, even if the cultivation level of Xiuchen Tianshen, the weapon spirit, has reached the level of immortality, it can only support the cultivation of a monk in the middle stage of immortality at best.
Moreover, if a monk in the middle stage of the Immortal Infinite chooses to enter and practice, the core time field that "increases day by day" will rapidly shrink to a radius of hundreds of miles. Other monks, affected by the Immortal Infinite's aura, will
We can only evacuate everyone thousands of miles away.
Just like this, in the past 50,000 years, the only monk who has entered the Sundial cultivation in the middle stage of immortality is the Dragon Lord.
However, even if the sundial has shortcomings in various aspects, it is still a treasure comparable to the Jiuding. It is completely sufficient and has cultivated a steady stream of gods, great gods, god kings and gods for heaven, hell and sword world.
The number of gods in the universe today has almost doubled compared to 50,000 years ago.
It is true that all walks of life and major forces have used all the accumulated resources accumulated by multiple Yuanhui to cultivate new gods. However, the sundial undoubtedly plays a decisive role.
This kind of explosive improvement is extremely rare in ancient history.
…
On the sea outside the Sword Realm, various kinds of divine ships are sailing neatly. There is a huge nine-sailed ship of dark wood from the ghost tribe, shrouded in black clouds and a mass of will-o'-the-wisps. There is also an ancient white jade ship from the Pangu Realm, where boys and girls gather.
, all heroic...
Some ships were singing and dancing, and some were holding seminars on Taoism. Of course, there were inevitable scoldings and disputes between the monks in heaven and hell.
However, they all followed the sword world convention established by Zhang Ruochen, and no one dared to actually take action.
No matter how great the hatred is, once it enters the Wuding Divine Sea, it must be resolved according to the rules of the sword world.
Duels are allowed in the arena, but private fights and assaults are prohibited.
On these divine ships, there are not only young elites selected from all walks of life, as divine reserves, lining up to enter the sword world to practice. They also transport a large number of training resources, the most important of which is the divine stone.
Aboard a translucent divine ship that was more than a hundred meters long and looked like it was carved out of an iceberg, the air was chilly, but the dozen or so Holy Realm monks sitting inside were all wearing blue silk singlets.
The divine ships are lining up to enter the sword world.
Among them, a young holy king was worried and said: "Senior brother, we have emptied all the wealth in Zifu Realm this time. If this continues, where will the next generation go to collect sacred stones?"
Another holy king said: "The amount of sacred stones collected by the Sword World is too high. A big world like our Zifu Realm that cannot breed sacred stones cannot afford it. In my opinion, we should unite the world leaders of each big world to
Go talk to Di Chen and put pressure on him to lower the price. The sword world wants to pretend to be a good person, but also wants to earn the sacred stone while lying down. How can such a good thing happen?"
The senior brother of the Zifu Realm suddenly changed and shouted angrily: "How brave are you to mention Di Chen's name?"
…
In the conversation between the monks in the divine ship below, Zhang Ruochen does not need to release his divine thoughts and mental power at all. When someone mentions his name, a reaction will automatically occur.
Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh: "When the sundial is fully turned on, it consumes a mountain of sacred stones every day, which must be shared by all realms of the universe to maintain it. Moreover, half of the sacred energy is provided by the sword world and collected from all walks of life.
They have all been consumed. But why do some people always feel that the sword world is searching for wealth?"
The Thousand Bones Empress said: "Do you feel chilled and feel that everything you have done is not understood?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly and said: "I had expected it! But, I still feel a little bad."
The Thousand Bones Empress said: "The strong judge winning or losing, while the weak seek fairness. The strong win or lose mostly by unscrupulous means. The weak's pursuit of fairness is often driven by desire and turns into constant demands and taking things for granted."
"Compared to those powerful realms, the Zifu realm has the least number of places. And even if it is just to maintain the practice of these monks, it has depleted the resources of the entire world. It is human nature for them to be unbalanced. They even resent you.
, it’s all as it should be.”
"Do you know how much a big world like Zifu Realm has paid to raise sacred stones? Almost all the precious resources in the world have been sold to the powerful world. Common people have to eat chaffy vegetables, and ordinary monks have to give up holy stones and spiritual crystals.
, beautiful women and handsome beasts are also resources that can be sold and turned into wives, concubines or mounts of powerful monks."
Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought and said, "So, behind the flowers, there is actually a mess?"
"Everything has pros and cons."
The Thousand Bones Empress said: "Because the sundial is fully activated, the strength of all walks of life has skyrocketed, giving Heaven, Hell, and the Sword World all the confidence to resist the disaster of the ancestors. Isn't this enough? You want to be absolutely fair,
It's impossible to take everyone's feelings into consideration."
After a while, Zhang Ruochen suddenly said: "Has the sundial been turned on for too long?"
The Thousand Bones Empress showed a strange color.
Zhang Ruochen was very serious and said: "A long time ago, the Moon God told me that fully turning on the sundial is a radical thing. Radical things will definitely have various negative effects."
"By turning on the sundial, isn't it pushing all walks of life forward, forcing them to speed up? Force them to use more resources to compete?"
"Behind this kind of competition, many people are living in pain."
"The Purple Mansion Realm has been depleted of resources, and other big worlds may not be much better. Empress, I want to close the sundial and no longer fully open it."
The Empress of Thousand Bones knew that his mind was severely affected, and said: "Don't be too disappointed! Facing the disaster of the ancestors, facing the shadow of death brought by the calamity to us, if we can't bear even this little pressure and pain, how can we do it?"
Is there tomorrow?"
"The sundial has indeed been turned on for too long. The energy of heaven and earth in the Sword Realm and Wuding Divine Sea has become a lot thinner. It is time to stop. However, many people regard the sundial as the norm. If you turn it off now, you will still cause trouble.
Come and criticize me."
"If you want to do something, no matter whether you do it well or not, or whether it is right or wrong, you must be mentally prepared to be disapproved, scolded, ridiculed, and resented. Of course, I believe you are prepared!"
Zhang Ruochen and Qiangu Empress had just entered the formation light curtain of the Sword World when they felt a strong wave of divine power coming from the Qiao Plain.
The nine-color chaotic divine light turned into layers of waves and spread outward.
"Isn't it possible? Is she really going to condense the twenty-third heaven?"
Divine light flashes.
The man from the well appeared next to Zhang Ruochen and the Qiangu Empress. He stared straight at the towering world in the center of the chaotic divine light, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
This cultivation speed is too fast!
Over the years, Jingdao people have been sitting in the sword world on behalf of the heavenly universe and are responsible for solving various problems of the heavenly monks.
The Bronze Divine Tree takes root in the Cangjin Continent of the Sword Realm, and has become the spiritual root of the world in the Sword Realm.
The center of the chaotic divine light, above Chi Yao's head
, various regular divine patterns gather together, pass through the 22nd level of the sky, interweave above, and condense into the 23rd level of the sky.
Her body seemed to be burning, her skin was radiating a scorching light, her long hair was like divine rivers, and her aura was rising continuously.
With each breath, the energy of heaven and earth and the rules of heaven and earth turn into tides.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Zhang Ruochen, the Jingdao man, and the Qiangu Empress appeared on the Queji Plain.
Immediately afterwards, more gods moved to this large place.
"Congratulations to Queen Chi Yao for her breakthrough."
"Congratulations to Queen Chi Yao for entering the middle stage of immortality."
…
Gradually, the Tianyu world, regular divine patterns, and chaotic divine light flowed back into Chi Yao's body, and the aura on her body quickly became introverted.
Chi Yao walked out step by step, her long hair floating in the void, and each hair strand was covered with nine-color flames. Her eyes met Zhang Ruochen, with a brilliant look, and said: "Brother Chen, I did it! I didn't get caught.
Did you throw it too far?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly, but before he could say anything, the Jingdao man said first, "Next, it's Pindao's turn to borrow the sundial, right? If Pindao doesn't break through, he will soon be surpassed by you juniors one by one!"
Zhang Ruochen said: "No, you are in the middle stage of Immortality and Infinite."
Jingdao Ren said: "Jiwang wasn't already at the middle stage of Immortality and Infinity back then?"
"The Dragon Lord is different, he is the elder of the sword world." Zhang Ruochen said.
The Jingdao man gritted his molars and said, "You just don't want the immortals from the heavenly universe to enter the sundial to practice, right? Pindao is now the spiritual root of the world in the sword world. Once he leaves..."
"If the Taoist Master leaves, I will change my spiritual roots. The Sotapanna Silver Tree and the Divine Refining Flower can be used as the spiritual roots of the world."
Zhang Ruochen said again: "Actually, at Taoist Master's age, why do you need to use a sundial to consume your lifespan?"
"If you don't want to borrow, don't borrow. I can rely on myself and break through quickly."
The well man cursed and walked away, throwing up his sleeves.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and smiled, then looked at the gods present and said, "Since everyone is here, I won't bother you to make a second trip. Today I officially announce the end of the great practice era of opening the sundial."
"boom!"
Instantly exploded.
No one expected that it would come so suddenly, without any warning.
A god from the Stone Tribe bowed respectfully to Zhang Ruochen and said, "Lord Dichen, this is too sudden. I just arrived in the Sword Realm today and am preparing to use the sundial to attack the realm of great gods!"
Zhang Ruochen said: "You don't need to use the sundial to break through the Great God Realm. The sundial can't help anyone practice. It just creates a new way and shortens the training time. And all of this needs to be exchanged for longevity."
A female god in palace attire from the Yuan Realm said, "May I ask Di Chen why he suddenly turned off the sundial? Is it because of the divine warrior envoy?"
The Divine Martial Envoy's visit to the Sword Realm was too high-profile, causing the Wuding Divine Sea's defensive formation to tremble and making it impossible to cover up. Many gods already knew of his existence.
Zhang Ruochen said: "You don't need to ask more about the reason! The sundial has been turned on for 50,000 years, and the resources of all walks of life have been exhausted. Now that the strength has increased, the disaster of the ancestors is imminent. It is time for you to go back and protect your respective ancestral realms!"
Chi Yao thought thoughtfully and said, "Everyone can feel that the energy of heaven and earth in the sword world has become a lot thinner. It's time to rest for a while! Everyone must understand Di Chen's decision."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't worry, everyone, instead of closing the sundial immediately, we will give everyone a three-month buffer period. After three months, the sundial will be officially closed."
Knowing that they could not change Zhang Ruochen's will, the gods took their leave one after another.
God Xiu Chen walked out of the sundial. He was dressed in white with a slender waist and a belt, giving people a sense of elegance and nobility. He said: "It should be over long ago. After staying inside the sundial for fifty thousand years, it's time to go out."
Get some air!"
The small space inside the sundial, which is similar to a primitive cave, has a different proportion of time than the time outside the sundial, and is controlled by the spirit of the instrument.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I just said, end the comprehensive
Turn on the sundial. No, I won’t turn on the sundial anymore. The empress will borrow the sundial to practice. You and her will do it for the next period of time."
God Xiu Chen had lost his temper a long time ago, so he naturally obeyed Zhang Ruochen's arrangements.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Yaoyao, do you need to consolidate under the sundial for a while?"
Chi Yao said: "Brother Chen has plans?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "During the period when the Empress is in seclusion, how about you go and help control Thousand Bones Camp?"
"Of course it's no problem."
Chi Yao immediately asked again: "What happened to the divine warrior envoy? Also, what happened to the imminent disaster of the ancestors that you just mentioned?"
Zhang Ruochen did not hide anything and told everything, including his upcoming trip to the Netherworld Dungeon.
After all, she will know when the time comes.
Chi Yao said: "I will go to the Netherworld Dungeon with you. Thousand Bone Camp can let the Golden Burial White Tiger take over."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "You have just broken through the realm, so you should consolidate your cultivation. Besides, you have now condensed the twenty-third level of heaven, don't you want to go to Wangshan's ancestral land?"
Chi Yao's heart moved, and she thought of the time she and Zhang Ruochen went to the Ancient God's Nest to visit Ling Yanzi 50,000 years ago.
Ling Yanzi did mention that at the beginning.
Chi Yao was still worried and said, "Are you going to the Netherworld Dungeon alone?"
"Of course not, I hired two helpers. Don't worry, I now have a lot of wives and concubines, and a house full of children and grandchildren. I won't risk my life easily." Zhang Ruochen deliberately smiled casually.
God Xiu Chen asked: "Dare I ask Di Chen, who is my concubine?"
