Gate of Death, Hyperbolic Time Chamber

Ye Qianqian braided her long hair into two pigtails and strode out of the hall, heading towards the Misty Cloud Sect's secluded cultivation grounds.

She planned to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to successfully break through to the first Super Saiyan state within a few years, so time was of the essence.

As she walked, many disciples passing by couldn't help but glance at her, captivated by the beautiful and alluring maiden before them.

After being strengthened by the Saiyan Bloodline, both Ye Qianqian's ethereal beauty and her graceful figure had undergone tremendous changes.

"Heavens, this maiden is simply too beautiful!"

"Which department does she cultivate in? I've never seen her before."

Some young men were completely smitten by Ye Qianqian, who was as lovely as a water lily. A few bolder ones even ran up to strike up a conversation.

"Junior Sister, where are you headed?"

A handsome young man, as elegant as jade, with a gentle smile, was fawning over the peerlessly beautiful Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian "..."

"Junior Sister, judging by your appearance, you seem to be a new disciple, right? Where are you going? Senior Brother can show you the way. I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Yan Tianya, a disciple of the Imperial Goose System, and I'm even a six-star Dou Master."

The beautiful maiden before him was like a celestial being, a fairy who didn't eat mortal food. Such beauty would likely rank in the top five of the Misty Cloud Sect's beauty rankings.

Currently, the Misty Cloud Sect was indeed filled with beauties.

Not to mention other beautiful disciples, just Saber, Kaguya, Medusa, Xiao Yixian, Yun Yun, She Xiuyue, Nalan Yanran, Qing Lin, Mo Youyou, Snake-Human Yuemei, Mittel Yafei, and the Eldest Princess Yaoye, the Second Princess Yaoyue... these beauties were all beautiful in their own unique ways.

But the maiden before them, with her unique mysterious and agile aura, gave people a new sense of beauty.

"Little sister, my name is Hutou, nine-star Dou Practitioner. Wanna hang out?"

"Junior Sister, my name is Xie Gang, a Dou Grandmaster. Wanna get acquainted?"

"Beauty, I'm Xie Gang's brother, my name is Shun Liu..."

After Yan Tianya struck up a conversation, other young disciples also mustered their courage, and in an instant, they surrounded Ye Qianqian three layers deep.

Some rather attractive female disciples were so angry they stomped their feet, muttering softly to themselves. However, with Ye Qianqian's Emperor Realm Soul, she had already sensed their words.

"Vixen."

"Slutty whore."

"Fox spirit."

"Hussy."

Ye Qianqian's face darkened, and she couldn't help but angrily ask, "Which Elder's disciples are you? How can you be so disrespectful?"

"What?"

The disciples were collectively stunned. What was this maiden saying?

"I am your Ancestor, Ye Qianqian!" Ye Qianqian snorted indignantly, stomped on the void, and suddenly flew towards the secluded cultivation grounds.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10,000 Shock Points.

Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their legs going weak. Both male and female disciples cried out in alarm and knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

"Ancestor, please forgive us!"

They wailed, but it wasn't their fault. They had seen Ye Qianqian's appearance before; she had always looked like a little girl, but now she had transformed into a different person. How could they have known?

Ye Qianqian didn't pay them much attention and continued to fly towards the secluded cultivation grounds. "Go to your respective Elders and receive your punishment."

The disciples slumped to the ground, looking utterly dejected. Some female disciples were pale with fright and burst into tears.

It was over. They had actually flirted with their Ancestor as if she were a younger sister. If their Elders found out, they would skin them alive. This was... the end!

The secluded cultivation grounds of the Misty Cloud Sect were guarded in rotation by the various Elder factions. As it was a place for all cultivators to break through their realms, it had to be strictly guarded without the slightest carelessness.

"Which Elder's disciple are you? I've never seen you before." It happened to be Yun Leng on duty today. As soon as he saw Ye Qianqian appear, he immediately put on an Elder's airs, acting particularly imperious.

As the Misty Cloud Sect grew larger and larger, Yun Leng, Yun Shan's top lackey, gradually saw his status and position rise. Many people treated him with utmost respect, making him appear imposing.

"I am your Ancestor, Ye Qianqian."

Ye Qianqian held her forehead, feeling incredibly stifled. She could only describe her feelings with a song: I don't want to grow up.

"Ah?" Yun Leng was stunned, feeling as if he had misheard something. Their Ancestor was clearly a little girl, so how had she suddenly transformed into a beautiful maiden as lovely as a flower?

"Disciple greets the Ancestor."

After confirming, Yun Leng immediately knelt and bowed.

Suddenly, he seemed to recall something. The last time, the Ancestor had mentioned that the reason she had a child's body was due to errors in her cultivation technique.

"Yun Leng, find me a good secluded cultivation room, preferably a large one. I need to go into seclusion for a while."

Upon hearing Ye Qianqian's words, Yun Leng immediately replied, "Reporting to the Ancestor, if you want a large cultivation space, our Misty Cloud Sect does have one, and it has a certain mystical nature."

Ye Qianqian asked curiously, "Where is it?"

Yun Leng replied, "The Gate of Death."

The Misty Cloud Sect's Gate of Death is an independent, pocket-sized world where time flows incredibly slowly. One day spent inside is equivalent to two days outside. A year of cultivation inside means two years have passed in the outside world.

Furthermore, the Gate of Death can isolate itself from the rules of heaven and earth. While inside, cultivators' bodies are completely unaffected by the passage of time, and their aging process is significantly slowed, greatly benefiting their cultivation.

However, this space is extremely dangerous. Any cultivator below the Dou King realm who enters this gate will surely die. If they are lucky enough to emerge alive, they will undoubtedly become a respected powerhouse in the future.

"So, this Gate of Death is a small Hyperbolic Time Chamber! No wonder in the original story, Na Lan Yan Ran was promoted to Dou King after entering the Gate of Death and spending three years there. It turns out she cultivated for a total of six years. This is truly amazing," Ye Qianqian exclaimed in astonishment.

At the same time, she pondered in her heart, "What if I placed the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from the Dragon Ball inside the Gate of Death? Would that double the time effect?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't my cultivation time be extended even further?"

She was eager to enter the Gate of Death and test it out, to see if it would have this effect.

Led by Yun Leng, Ye Qianqian arrived before a stone gate that resembled an ancient tomb. The old man Yun Leng took a golden key from his waist and carefully inserted it into the keyhole in front of the stone gate, turning it slightly.

"Creak, creak, creak."

The incredibly heavy stone gate slowly opened, and a refreshing spiritual energy washed over Ye Qianqian. She strode inside.

"This subordinate wishes the Ancestor great success in their divine art in advance."

Yun Leng bowed repeatedly to Ye Qianqian's retreating back. Then, he turned the key again, and the three-meter-thick Dragon-Breaking Stone Gate slammed shut.

As soon as she entered, Ye Qianqian felt that time in this space was flowing extremely slowly.

It was as if a faint power was hindering the time rules of the Dou Qi Continent. Everything around her felt like time was frozen.

This feeling gave Ye Qianqian an indescribable sense of oppression, dullness, boredom, emptiness, and utter loneliness.

"This Gate of Death is truly magical."

A doubt arose in her heart. The person who created such a space must be at least a Dou God in cultivation, right?

But considering the history of the Misty Cloud Sect, none of the previous sect leaders were Dou Gods. How did they create such a magical space?

Just then, a ferocious beast's roar suddenly echoed from not far away. A tiger, over three meters long, let out roars. Upon seeing Ye Qianqian, it lunged at her with incredible speed.

The tiger's eyes glowed with a scarlet light, its muscles were strong and developed. It roared like thunder in the sky, its sound shaking the surroundings.

Although this fierce tiger was not a Magical Beast, its power and ferocity were comparable to a first-tier Magical Beast.

Ye Qianqian flicked her finger, and a surge of Dou Qi blasted the fierce tiger into scattered meat paste.

Simultaneously, numerous wild beasts and low-level Magical Beasts gradually appeared around her, all charging towards the intruder.

Ye Qianqian marveled inwardly. No wonder old man Yun Leng said the Gate of Death was extremely dangerous. She was attacked as soon as she entered. If she hadn't been at the Dou Venerate realm but just a mere Dou Practitioner or Dou Grandmaster, she would have been in mortal peril!

With a wave of her hand.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The hundreds of ferocious Magical Beasts before her all turned into dust.

As she walked deeper into the Gate of Death, she encountered five or six Magical Beasts ranging from fourth to fifth tier, whose strength was comparable to Dou Spirits and Dou Kings. If the Misty Cloud Sect didn't primarily cultivate swordsmanship, these Magical Beasts could have been tamed to enhance the sect's combat power.

"Ding, treasure detected."

At that moment, the system in her mind suddenly issued a prompt.

"Treasure?" Ye Qianqian was puzzled. She looked around the empty space, but couldn't find anything valuable.

"Above you."

The system issued another prompt.

Ye Qianqian immediately looked up. The sky was shrouded in mist, and she couldn't see anything. She quickly used her Emperor Realm Soul to sense the surroundings.

Suddenly, she discovered a Crystal Ball in the misty sky, constantly emitting a mystical energy.

This Crystal Ball was about the size of a washbasin, like the core of a formation. The energy it released was blocking the power of the external rules.

Without the system's help, she might not have discovered such a miraculous object.

What exactly was this mysterious Crystal Ball?
