"What's going on? This isn't normal."
Lu Chen felt the Spiritual Energy flowing within his body, completely bewildered.
Although the suction from the stone tablet was immense, it felt like a fully charged battery.
Spiritual Energy was the charge, and the stone tablet was the battery.
"Wind Dragon, didn't you say it requires a massive amount of Spiritual Energy? How come the Spiritual Energy I'm consuming now feels less than what I use for the Six Yang Palms that Split the Heavens."
Wind Dragon looked at the stone tablet and said, "This is definitely not normal."
Wind Dragon watched the suction weaken, circled the stone tablet twice, and then thought before speaking again, "Try increasing the intensity. I feel like it has enough Spiritual Energy already."
"Bang... Squeak squeak squeak"
As soon as Wind Dragon finished speaking, the sound of gears turning came from the stone tablet.
A phantom image of the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared in the sky, rotating continuously like a clock.
The phantom image slowly projected onto the Tower of Time.
Lu Chen looked at the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram before him, his brow furrowed.
"It's opening already? I've only consumed less than a tenth of my Spiritual Energy."
Wind Dragon also looked at the phantom image of the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram with some surprise.
He had heard of the Tower of Time in the past and knew how difficult it was to open.
"Logically, it should have opened, but it does seem a bit too easy. And there wasn't anything like the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram back then."
"No? Then how was it opened before?"
Lu Chen looked at the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram on the Tower of Time, feeling a bit curious.
Wind Dragon shook his head repeatedly. "The Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram didn't exist before. The Cultivation World has developed too quickly in recent years, and I only figured this out recently."
"Then let's go in and take a look. The Tower of Time is already open, so it would be a waste not to go. Maybe we can find some treasures."
Lu Chen slung the Primal Chaos Greatsword over his back and cautiously approached the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram.
He touched the wall with both hands and slowly manipulated the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram.
"Squeak... squeak..., bang."
A familiar suction force emanated from the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram.
"Huh? Is this the scent of a teleportation portal?"
"Oh no, this dizzying feeling again."
As soon as he spoke, Lu Chen was sucked into the Tower of Time.
Ten seconds later, Lu Chen was unceremoniously thrown out of the teleportation array.
"Damn it, this teleportation array again. I never have a good outcome whenever I encounter one."
Lu Chen grumbled as he got up from the ground, his hands moving quickly to brush off the dust.
"It's really dark here. Wind Dragon, where are you? I can't see."
"Walk forward, I'm in front of you."
Wind Dragon's voice came from above Lu Chen's head, filled with confusion.
"What's going on? Time still feels so calm. We haven't entered the Tower of Time."
Lu Chen followed Wind Dragon's voice and walked in front of him.
He released a stream of Spiritual Energy from his left hand, illuminating the surroundings.
"There's no flow? How is that possible? I clearly entered the Tower of Time."
"The style here is the style of the Tower of Time, but why is there no flow of time?"
Lu Chen held up his Spiritual Energy light, looking around.
Just then, Lu Chen bumped into a wooden face.
"Ah... a ghost!"
Lu Chen instantly turned and ran in the opposite direction, his movements fluid and natural.
However, after running a few steps, Lu Chen stopped.
"Huh? That's not right? I'm a Cultivator, why should I be afraid of ghosts? And this is in my own world."
"Hahaha, Little Lu, you're killing me."
Wind Dragon circled in the sky, looking at a piece of wood behind Lu Chen, laughing so hard he was gasping for breath.
"A Cultivator is afraid of ghosts, and a wooden ghost at that, haha."
"Wind Dragon, you're making fun of me. Just you wait, I'll get you back."
"Kamen Rider."
Lu Chen summoned the Primal Chaos Greatsword and used his newly learned move.
The Wind Dragon instantly coiled, transforming into a dragon-shaped disc that attached itself to the Primal Chaos Greatsword.
"Hahaha, Little Lu, let me go, I'm not laughing anymore."
Feeling its body bound, the Wind Dragon quickly begged for mercy.
However, a playful expression was still brewing on its face.
"Hmph, so you're scared now, just you wait."
Lu Chen clasped his hands on the Wind Dragon's jade token, preparing to release the Wind Dragon.
A burst of immense mockery suddenly erupted from the Primal Chaos Greatsword.
"A cultivator, afraid of a piece of wood. Hahaha, let me die, I can't hold it in anymore."
By the end, the Wind Dragon was completely unrestrained, madly mocking Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's hands, which were covering the jade token, began to tremble uncontrollably.
"You, you, you... you just wait, you're not getting out of here today."
"Don't move, even if you have to kill me, let me die laughing first."
"Hahaha, cultivator, ghost, wood, I'm so scared."
The Wind Dragon spoke in a somewhat sarcastic tone, constantly imitating Lu Chen.
Listening to the Wind Dragon's words, the muscles on Lu Chen's face began to twitch wildly, his face turning somewhat purple with anger.
"You, you, you... Kamen Rider."
Lu Chen, unable to think of any other move in the end, could only forcefully press down on the Wind Dragon's jade token.
The Wind Dragon's phantom image covered the Primal Chaos Greatsword.
Lu Chen gripped the Primal Chaos Greatsword with both hands and began to swing it wildly, with himself as the center.
As he spun, he muttered to himself, "I'll spin you to death."
"Do you submit or not?"
"I don't submit! You can do it, but can't I still laugh?"
Lu Chen's spirit was on the verge of collapse: "I'll ask again, do you submit or not, Fetish Dragon."
"Come on, come on, scaredy-cat, whoever chickens out is a grandson. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."
The Wind Dragon took this opportunity to finally win a round in their mockery battle.
Ten minutes later, Lu Chen and the Wind Dragon were both dizzy from spinning.
The Primal Chaos Greatsword flew out of Lu Chen's hand, and the Wind Dragon transformed back into its true dragon form.
"Ugh... do you submit or not, Fetish Dragon."
Lu Chen lay on the ground, vomiting while constantly trying to think of ways to mock the Wind Dragon.
"Ugh... how is that possible? I'm not like some people who are afraid of a piece of rotten wood. Ugh... I'm going to faint."
The Wind Dragon lay on top of Lu Chen's head, and during the intervals of Lu Chen's vomiting, it continued to mock him.
Just then, a small twig reached out and began to gently stroke the Wind Dragon's head.
"Scaredy-cat, don't scare me with the Azure Emperor Divine Tree. I'm not like you, afraid of a piece of wood."
The Wind Dragon flicked the twig away with its tail, complaining with dissatisfaction.
The twig climbed back onto Lu Chen's shoulder and began to creep upwards.
"Ugh... I'm not, I'm not. Put your tail away first."
A gentle breeze blew past their ears.
"Hee hee hee, it's me. Have you made up your mind?"
Hearing the voice by their ears, Lu Chen and the Wind Dragon looked up simultaneously.
They instantly flashed back.
"Who's there? I see you."
Lu Chen shouted at the front in terror.
"Hehehe, after only a few days, you've forgotten me."
As the voice faded, a beam of light illuminated the center of the room.
The Wind Dragon looked at the piece of wood before it and fell into thought: "A piece of wood? What's so scary about an ordinary piece of wood?"
"No, it's not wood. I know what that familiar feeling is. Why are you here?"
Lu Chen quickly summoned the Primal Chaos Greatsword and pinned the Wind Dragon onto it.
He adopted a defensive stance and shouted forward.
"Reveal yourself! I already know who you are. Stop playing these tricks."
Lu Chen crouched slightly, holding the greatsword horizontally on his arm, and slowly approached the piece of wood.
"Hehehe, I'm not playing tricks. I've come to give you a gift."
A face appeared from the wood, with tentacles from the Azure Emperor Divine Tree on either side.
"What do you mean? What exactly do you want? I don't have anything you desire."
Lu Chen listened to every word the face spoke, his heart greatly shaken.
Every time he needed something, the face would appear, and each time it did so eerily, without any warning.
"I don't want anything from you. On the contrary, I can give you anything you need."
"Like this Tower of Time. You want to use it, so I've come."
A breeze blew, and the face emitted a white light, illuminating the entire room.
The room was nearly a hundred zhang tall.
But it was very empty, with only a giant stone monument in the center.
A small planet rested atop the stone monument.
The planet was developing rapidly, and the flow of time within it was nearly 1000 times faster than around Lu Chen.
Lu Chen stared at the small planet. "What exactly are you trying to say? Do you just want me to agree to something?"
"Hehehe, I told you, I am you. I will appear whenever you need me."
"Just like now. You need the Tower of Time, so I've come."
"Let's call this the 'Daddy Creation Project' – 'Here Whenever You Call.'"
The face exhaled, and the flow of time in the entire room slowly sped up.
Spherical small worlds began to rise and orbit around Lu Chen.
Lu Chen could clearly see people living in each of the small worlds.
"Have you thought about it? Are you willing to bear the Myriad Worlds for me? With just a word from you, I can make them recognize you as their master."
The face exhaled again.
A small world rapidly appeared before Lu Chen.
"Without spending a single bit of Spiritual Energy, you can become the king of time, just like me, controlling the flow of time in worlds at will."
"You can try it. I'll give this small world directly to you. You can experience it."
"Give it to me? A planet?"
Lu Chen looked at the floating planet before him, his heart filled with excitement, his eyes becoming hazy.
The Wind Dragon on the Primal Chaos Greatsword noticed all of this. It could tell that the face was deliberately manipulating Lu Chen.
"Little Lu, wake up! No one gives benefits away for free."
The Wind Dragon shouted continuously as it watched Lu Chen being gradually guided by the face toward the planet.
"Little Lu, wake up! He's trying to lure you."
"So talkative. I didn't expect you to be as annoying when you're old as you were when you were young."
The face blew a breath towards the Primal Chaos Greatsword, sending it flying.
"Huh? You're trying to lure me?"
Lu Chen's consciousness was instantly jolted awake, and he slowly began to step backward.
