"Haha, I've finally figured it out!"

"There are still some special treasures in this universe!"

At this moment, Yang Wu was extremely excited.

Because he suddenly thought of a way that could allow him to possess the combat power of High Universe Venerable within five thousand years.

In Yang Wu's mind, this was the only way he could think of to improve his strength more quickly.

That is--

Use treasures like the Time Chamber, which can alter the flow of time.

In the original novel, after breaking through to Immortal, Luo Feng quickly traveled to the Beast God World, the Star Behemoth Progenitor, under the guidance of his teacher Mountain Sitting Guest.

After Luo Feng entered the Beast God World, the ratio of the time flow rate in the Beast God World to that in the Primal Universe reached an incredibly exaggerated 10081:1.

In other words, Luo Feng cultivated in seclusion in the Beast God World for ten thousand years, less than a year would have passed in the Primal Universe.

Luo Feng cultivated in the Beast God World for 180 million years before he finally comprehended the Beast God Heart of the Beast God Path of the Beast God. At the same time, he also created a set of Ultimate Secret Technique for the Universe Master.

At that time, less than 20,000 years had passed in the Primal Universe.

"Time flow rate?"

"Time flow!"

"Haha!" Yang Wu was incredibly excited. "This is the perfect way to use the Time Simulator!"

"Although I can't achieve such an exaggerated acceleration of time flow by ten thousand times in Miniature Universe, a hundred times shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Yang Wu thought to himself with anticipation.

"A hundredfold time acceleration, plus a hundredfold time difference in the Simulator, means I'm essentially experiencing Ten Thousand Times Time Acceleration!" Yang Wu pondered to himself.

"Moreover, the simulation allows me to train in Outer-Region Battlefield and Cosmic Secret Realms, so my progress will definitely be much greater than if I had been cultivating in one place all along!"

"However, obtaining the Time Chamber is somewhat troublesome!" Yang Wu frowned inwardly.

Treasures like the Time Palace are generally created by Universe Master who have fully comprehended the Space-Time Law.

These manufactured Time Palace are extremely valuable. Even with Yang Wu's current authority, he couldn't find any information about the Time Palace in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury.

"How exactly can we obtain a treasure that can alter the flow of time?"

Yang Wu thought for a moment, "Hmm? Let's go to our teacher and ask about the Time Palace!"

Yang Wu made a decision in an instant.

At the same time, a wisp of his consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe and went directly to the Nine Sword Venerable's temple on Thunder Island.

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.

Halfway up Thunder Island stand magnificent palaces, where the Universe Venerable of the Virtual Universe Company reside.

Near the east, one of the massive temples exudes a sharp aura, like a razor-sharp sword; this is the temple of the Nine Sword Venerable.

Brush!

Yang Wu suddenly appeared in front of the temple gate.

After greeting the guards at the palace gate, Yang Wu strode directly into the magnificent hall.

As the personal disciple of the Nine Sword Venerable, he was naturally qualified to enter the temple directly.

At this moment, there was no one in the spacious hall.

"Hmm?" Yang Wu was slightly puzzled. "Isn't the teacher here? Is he doing something important?"

For the powerful, it is easy to spare a sliver of their consciousness to constantly connect with the Virtual Universe.

Only in situations like seclusion will the Virtual Universe Network be completely shut down.

Yang Wu was about to send an email to inquire.

Suddenly--

The space shifted, and in an instant, Yang Wu appeared in a Quiet Room.

The furnishings in the Quiet Room were extremely serene and elegant, and the air was filled with a special atmosphere that brought peace of mind.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu quickly bowed respectfully.

A tall figure sat cross-legged in front of Yang Wu. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as vast as the starry sky, and the powerful aura emanating from him inspired awe in all who beheld him.

Today, the Nine Sword Venerable was not wearing his ancient blue battle robe, but rather a white robe, and his expression was extremely gentle.

Nine Sword Venerable slowly rose, chuckling as he teased, "You little rascal, you never come here unless you need something. Even when you were assassinated by Venerable from the Zerg Alliance last time, you only sent an email!"

"What, you've come to see me this time because you've already comprehended the Fifth Diagram of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele?"

In the eyes of the Nine Sword Venerable, the strength of the Venerable Jueguang was in no way inferior to his own; only his treasures were slightly inferior.

Despite being assassinated by such an incredibly powerful Universe Venerable, Yang Wu acted as if nothing had happened afterward.

When Yang Wu unleashed the ninth level of the Overlord Spear technique, someone had already reported it to the Nine Sword Venerable.

At this point, only twenty years had passed, Nine Sword Venerable naturally knew that Yang Wu could not possibly comprehend the fifth diagram. His statement was merely to tease his disciple.

Yang Wu felt a little ashamed. Was this really the kind of person his teacher saw him as?

However, Yang Wu thought about it again and realized that every time he came to see the Nine Sword Venerable, it seemed that he really didn't come unless he had a reason.

Thinking about this, Yang Wu really felt an urge to tell the Nine Sword Venerable that he had figured out the fifth picture.

However, everything in excess is harmful. In the past hundred years, his progress in the Law of Gold had already prompted King Jianhuang to advise him several times. Therefore, Yang Wu still plans to slowly reveal his insights in the future.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu immediately said respectfully, "Since being assassinated by the Alien Race powerhouse, I have been cultivating in seclusion in the Golden Horned Tribe's Holy City for over twenty years!"

"Hmm!" The Nine Sword Venerable nodded slowly. As Yang Wu's teacher, he was naturally quite clear about Yang Wu's movements.

"That Sacred Stele left behind by the Golden Horned Tribe powerhouse Xirodo, is quite impressive!"

The Nine Sword Venerable sighed, "Haven't you been studying the Law of Gold lately? And since you're Black Warrior, you'd benefit greatly from studying the Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele!"

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu nodded and said, "However, this time I came to see Master not for this matter, but for another matter I would like to ask Master for help with."

"Tell me what you think?" the Nine Sword Venerable said calmly.

"I recently learned by chance that our Human Race possesses a treasure that can accelerate the flow of time, but I have not found any information about such a treasure in the company's treasury."

Yang Wu respectfully replied, "This disciple has no other choice, so I have come to ask my teacher for help."

"The Time Palace?" The Nine Sword Venerable frowned slightly, asking in confusion, "Why are you asking about it?"

"This disciple wants to become stronger as soon as possible!" Yang Wu said earnestly, "This disciple has heard that the Time Palace can accelerate the flow of time. A year in reality may have passed in the Time Palace by a hundred or a thousand years!"

"With the help of the Time Palace, my cultivation time will definitely be greatly shortened!"

"Hahaha..."

The Nine Sword Venerable burst into laughter, then said with a smile, "The Time Palace can indeed alter the flow of time, but it's utterly useless!"

"A chicken rib?" Yang Wu asked in confusion.

"Yeah, it's a double-edged sword!"

The Nine Sword Venerable looked at Yang Wu and said with a smile, "The energy required to maintain the operation of treasures like the Time Chamber is extremely astonishing."

"Generally speaking, the greater the proportion of time flow rate, the more energy is required, and the more difficult it is to maintain!"

"Consumes energy?" Yang Wu was slightly taken aback.

He had really forgotten about it!

However, in the original work, the Mountain Sitting Guest paid a considerable price to allow Luo Feng to cultivate in the Beast God World, and the Inheritance Space of the Duan Donghe Lineage also required a large amount of energy to maintain a high time flow rate.

Even the secret-rune weapon that Luo Feng obtained in the Outer-Region Battlefield requires an astonishing amount of energy to activate.

Therefore, maintaining the Time Palace requires an enormous amount of energy.

"Right!"

The Nine Sword Venerable continued, "Even if it were all my wealth, it would only be enough to maintain a flow rate a thousand times faster for nearly ten thousand years!"

"Even at such an astonishing cost, only a few million years have passed within the Time Palace."

"If a powerhouse below the Immortal uses the Time Palace for cultivation, their lifespan is calculated based on the time experienced within the Time Palace. Furthermore, the Universe Evolution is inherently incredibly long, so there's absolutely no need to expend such a high price to use the Time Palace for cultivation!"

"Furthermore, combat is the best way to hone oneself, so very few forces would arrange for geniuses to bury themselves in arduous training within the Time Palace!"

"The teacher's entire fortune can only sustain a time flow of a thousand times for nearly ten thousand years?" Yang Wu was slightly taken aback.

It should be noted that although the Nine Sword Venerable is High Universe Venerable and his cultivation time is relatively short, he is the disciple of the Lord of Longxing. All his assets combined are probably worth several Supreme Treasure Point.

The weapon used by the Nine Sword Venerable was an Ordinary Supreme Treasure once bestowed upon him by the Lord of Longxing.

Such an astonishing energy consumption was indeed difficult for Yang Wu to accept.

For a moment, Yang Wu was at a loss for what to do.

"No!" Yang Wu suddenly realized, "I don't need to maintain a thousand times the flow of time, nor do I need to maintain ten thousand years!"

"Even with only ten times the time flow rate, I can shorten the simulation interval during my Domain Lord stage by ten times!"

"In other words, I can conduct a simulation every twelve years in the Primal Universe! This time interval is actually shorter than twenty years on Universe Level!"

"Moreover, as my strength grows, I will acquire more and more resources, which will allow me to maintain an even higher flow rate of time!"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly said respectfully, "Teacher, this disciple still intends to give it a try, please help me!"

"You..." The Nine Sword Venerable was at a loss for words.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that Yang Wu might not be aware of his worth.

Immediately, the Nine Sword Venerable waved his hand, and a phantom screen appeared in mid-air.

"This is the cost of the resources required to maintain the Time Palace's operation. You can take a good look!"

Yang Wu looked up at the screen.

The screen only displays three time flow rates: 2x, 5x, and 10x.

Among them, the Time Palace operates at twice the time flow rate for one thousand years, requiring energy resources worth four billion Hunyuan Unit;

The Time Palace operates at five times the time flow rate for one thousand years, requiring energy resources worth 30 billion Hunyuan Unit;

If the Time Palace were to operate at ten times the time flow rate for a thousand years, the energy resources consumed would amount to a staggering 150 billion Hunyuan Unit.

"Yang Wu!" The Nine Sword Venerable looked at Yang Wu and sighed, "The resources consumed by the Time Palace are so enormous that they are completely disproportionate to the gains. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, very few people will cultivate in seclusion in the Time Palace!"

"Teacher, I still think it best to cultivate in seclusion within the Time Palace for a while!" After a moment's thought, Yang Wu said firmly.

Upon hearing this, the Nine Sword Venerable was slightly taken aback.

To his surprise, Yang Wu was still unwilling to give up even after witnessing such staggering resource consumption.

"Yang Wu!" the Nine Sword Venerable said solemnly, "Even if you are a rare genius among our human race, our clan cannot afford to nurture you without considering the cost."

"If you wish to cultivate in seclusion within the Time Palace, I can help you apply for one, but you will have to provide the resources yourself!"

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu said very seriously, "Disciple has some resources at his disposal!"

"A little bit of resources?" Nine Sword Venerable asked doubtfully.

In his eyes, Yang Wu was now just a minor Domain Lord, and even if he had some resources, they were at most tens of millions of Hunyuan Unit.

While such wealth is astonishing, even at twice the time flow rate, it would only be able to maintain the operation of the Time Palace for a little over ten years.

What's the point of this?

"The matter is like this, this disciple previously returned to the Ganwu Universe Country..."

Yang Wu slightly altered his account of obtaining the Locke God Water and then told it to the Nine Sword Venerable.

The Nine Sword Venerable remained silent.

In fact, it's not uncommon for many geniuses in the Core Layer of the Five Great Forces to obtain valuable items during their growth, though it's rare.

Especially in Universe Level cultivation missions, many hidden opportunities exist.

However, among these items, the most valuable ones would be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of Hunyuan Unit!

Locke God Water worth billions of Hunyuan Unit?

Such an opportunity might not seem like much to someone like the Nine Sword Venerable, but what kind of strength does he possess? High Universe Venerable!

In fact, the Locke God Water, worth billions of Hunyuan Unit, is enough to make Peak King Level experts fight over it!

Even a wealthy, high-ranking Immortal High King Level's entire fortune amounted to this much.

But Yang Wu is currently just a minor Domain Lord!

If it were by chance that one obtained a treasure worth millions or tens of millions of Hunyuan Unit, although bizarre, it would still be somewhat acceptable.

But...

Yang Wu, however, obtained Locke God Water worth billions of Hunyuan Unit, which is simply incomprehensible.

"You're quite lucky to have had this opportunity!"

After a moment of silence, the Nine Sword Venerable sighed, "But since you've acquired such astonishing wealth, you could easily purchase numerous treasures to enhance yourself!"

"With the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body> you're cultivating, if you purchase some precious treasures to aid your cultivation, given your current physical condition, you could easily reach the third level, saving you countless hours!"

"Furthermore, it can evolve your Auxiliary Metal Lifeform to Immortal, which will give you a much stronger ability to survive when you face life-or-death trials at the World Lord Level in the future!"

The Nine Sword Venerable earnestly advised, "Why must you waste such a large amount of resources on the Time Palace?"

"Billions of Hunyuan Unit can only allow you to maintain twice the time flow rate for a little over a thousand years!"

Unfortunately, the more the Nine Sword Venerable tried to persuade him, the more determined Yang Wu became.

Without the existence of the Time Simulator, it would be unwise for him to expend so many resources to use the Time Palace.

However, because of the existence of the Time Simulator, many of the shortcomings of the Time Palace mentioned by the Nine Sword Venerable are no longer shortcomings.

For example, Yang Wu had already cultivated the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body> to the third level in the simulated experience.

"That's enough!"

Seeing that Yang Wu was determined, the Nine Sword Venerable sighed and said, "Since you insist on trying, I will help you apply for a Time Chamber!"

"I hope you won't be too disappointed after using it!"

"This disciple thanks Master for his kindness!" Yang Wu bowed deeply to the Nine Sword Venerable.

Without the Nine Sword Venerable, Yang Wu, with his own authority, would likely not have been able to obtain treasures like the Time Palace in a short period of time.

However, the Time Palace is Yang Wu's key to rapidly becoming stronger, so naturally the sooner he obtains it, the better.

Therefore, Yang Wu was extremely grateful for the help he received from the Nine Sword Venerable.

"Hmm." The Nine Sword Venerable nodded slightly, and the illusory screen in mid-air instantly disappeared.

He looked at Yang Wu and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, then you should leave now!"

"Once the application from the Time Palace is approved, I will send someone to deliver it to you!"

"This disciple takes his leave." Yang Wu bowed respectfully.

Swish!

Yang Wu's figure vanished from the Quiet Room in an instant.

Only the Nine Sword Venerable remained in the Quiet Room.

"What a young and impatient fellow!" the Nine Sword Venerable murmured. "After he has cultivated for countless years, he will understand how wasteful his current choice has been!"

For beings like the Universe Venerable, maintaining a time flow rate of more than ten times is quite easy.

If they wanted, they could maintain this for an incredibly long time.

However, no Universe Venerable would do such a thing.

The reason is simply that the Universe Evolution is too long, and there is absolutely no need to waste a lot of resources to accelerate the passage of time.
