Time Amulet, Improving the Time Cabin

Zhou Qiongtian felt his new Divine Soul. It was a bit stronger than before, but not by much. If his previous soul was a Ten-thousand-person Soul, it was now a Ten-thousand-and-one-person Soul.

After a brief rest, Zhou Qiongtian began to split his soul again. This time, after splitting it into two Divine Souls, he split them again, creating four Divine Souls.

Although the efficiency doubled, the pain also doubled.

It hurt! It really hurt! The pain twisted Zhou Qiongtian's face.

After merging the four Divine Souls into one, it increased his soul by about three people's worth.

Zhou Qiongtian followed the same procedure. Three hours later, he could split into 512 Divine Souls. Merging them back together increased his soul by 511 people's worth.

As he split his soul more and more times, Zhou Qiongtian wasn't sure if it was due to developing resistance or some other reason, but the soul splitting didn't seem as painful anymore. In fact, there was even a hint of pleasure?

Holy crap, am I a pervert? No way!

Immediately after, Zhou Qiongtian found three more Soul Dao divine abilities: Soul Howl, Soul Pressure, and Soul Stab!

Don't bite off more than you can chew. Three Soul Dao divine abilities were more than enough.

With his Great Dao comprehension at the Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster level in Soul Dao, Zhou Qiongtian quickly learned these three Soul Dao divine abilities and mastered them.

Zhou Qiongtian rubbed his temples, feeling a splitting headache. After a short rest, he went back to the Pill Pavilion to search for Cosmic Dao techniques and divine abilities.

Cosmic Dao was even rarer than Soul Dao. Cosmic Dao involved the power of time, and time had always been an extremely mysterious and dangerous thing.

Even Great Emperor powerhouses could not escape the baptism of the River of Time.

The highest grade Cosmic Dao techniques in the Zhou Family's Pill Pavilion were only Saint Tier. Divine abilities were also scarce, and Zhou Qiongtian found the effects of these techniques and divine abilities to be rather lackluster.

Zhou Qiongtian opened the System Store and clicked on the Cosmic Dao divine abilities section.

[Time Amulet: Cosmic Dao divine ability. By communicating with the River of Time, it condenses the power of time to form a protective barrier, capable of restoring internal Spiritual Power and injuries to their peak. Note: Consumes Lifespan. Price: 200,000 Destiny Points!]

[Summon Nian Beast: Cosmic Dao divine ability. Capable of communicating with the River of Time to summon a Nian Beast to assist in combat. Note: The Nian Beast may flee if it encounters a life-threatening crisis. Price: 150,000 Destiny Points!]

[Spear of Time: Cosmic Dao divine ability. Contains the power of time and can erode an enemy's Lifespan. Price: 200,000 Destiny Points!]

[...]

Zhou Qiongtian's eyes lit up. He was instantly captivated by the Time Amulet. Wasn't this just a mobile buff that stacked both mana recovery and health recovery? It was simply too awesome!

Zhou Qiongtian decisively redeemed the Time Amulet, and his remaining 200,000 Destiny Points vanished instantly.

Zhou Qiongtian: "..."

He was starting to suspect that the System had its sights set on his remaining 200,000 Destiny Points, placing the Time Amulet at the very top. It was really trying to drain him dry!

However, the Time Amulet was indeed powerful.

Zhou Qiongtian took out the Time Cabin. Originally, the time flow ratio inside and outside the Time Cabin was ten to one, and the Lifespan consumption was twenty to one. However, Zhou Qiongtian was now a Grandmaster of Cosmic Dao and could completely improve the Time Cabin.

After several hours, the Time Cabin's capacity increased from one hundred people to five hundred people. The time flow reached fifty to one, and the Lifespan consumption decreased to ten to one.

The one hundred people inside the Time Cabin were still cultivating. Zhou Qiongtian sent a batch of resources to the Time Cabin every so often. He had never given up on cultivating his own forces.

Although this force was still small and weak now, Zhou Qiongtian believed that one day they would be useful.

The strongest person in the Time Cabin was now at the Feather Ascension Mid Stage, and the weakest was at the Cycle Early Stage. These one hundred people were carefully selected by Zhou Qiongtian. Not only were they highly loyal, but they also had good talent.

In fact, their growth rate was already very fast. These one hundred people could become the backbone of a Holy Land. But Zhou Qiongtian's growth was simply too fast. Describing his growth rate as a Prodigy was an understatement; it was on a perverted level!

How long had it been since Zhou Qiongtian started cultivating? Less than a year in total, and his cultivation had risen from Great Perfection of Innate Stage to Saint Early Stage. When using all his trump cards, he could even briefly reach Supreme Great Perfection!

In less than a year, Zhou Qiongtian had grown from a weakling to a powerhouse ranked among the top on the Azure World!

Zhou Qiongtian had originally planned to continue cultivating. Now that the threat of the Child of Destiny was gone, he could finally cultivate in peace.

The black flame on the Pillar of Destiny was like a Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, weighing heavily on his mind. Therefore, even though he was already very powerful, he still raced against time to cultivate.

Just then, a voice sounded in Zhou Qiongtian's ear: "All disciples, please gather in the plaza immediately!"

Is that the Grand Elder's voice? Zhou Qiongtian frowned slightly. Gather in the plaza? Could it be that because of that matter, the family is finally going to tell the clan members the news?

Zhou Qiongtian's expression turned serious. He quickly arrived at the plaza, where many clan members had already gathered. Zhou Qiongtian looked towards the front of the plaza, where three Grand Elders stood, exuding powerful auras of the Supreme Realm.

Behind the three Grand Elders stood dozens of Saint King powerhouses, who were the elite elders of the Zhou Family.

Seeing Zhou Qiongtian, the three Grand Elders and the other elders greeted him.

"Young Master, it's been many days. Your cultivation has increased greatly! It feels like I last saw you yesterday, and in such a short time, your cultivation has reached... Holy crap, Saint Realm!"

"Holy crap! It really is! How long has the Young Master been cultivating? He's already a Saint powerhouse, his cultivation is the same as mine, and his strength can probably beat me with one hand tied behind his back!"

"Damn, the Young Master's speed is truly unmatched. Compared to the Young Master, my hundreds of years of cultivation feel like I've been cultivating for nothing. I can't compare, I really can't!"

"Hahaha, as expected of our Zhou Family's Young Master! With such talent, the Young Master has the bearing of a Great Emperor! Perhaps in the future, he will surpass the Patriarch."

Many Zhou Family clan members, especially those above the Saint Realm, were dumbfounded upon sensing Zhou Qiongtian's Saint Early Stage cultivation. Their eyes were filled with disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

The three Grand Elders also wore smiles, their eyes flashing with sharp light. They didn't seem surprised at all, as if this was within their expectations. However, upon closer inspection, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, indicating that they were not calm at all.

"Little brother Qiongtian, I missed you so much!" A familiar voice sounded in his ear. Zhou Qiongtian turned his head and saw a surging wave rushing towards him.

The next moment, Zhou Qiongtian felt himself enveloped by a soft, warm embrace, his vision went black, and he struggled to breathe.
