Chapter 164: Spacetime River, No—Spacetime Stream (1/10, Requesting Subscriptions)

Gradually, a shimmer of water truly appeared.

No, it wasn't waterlight—it was something resembling water that emerged.

In truth, this was the manifestation of spacetime power.

Spacetime has no form; it manifests because of the mind.

In Zhang Taixuan's mind, the Changhe was a river, so the manifestation of spacetime power took the form of water.

As time passed, a river gathered around him.

No, it should be called a stream.

About a hundred meters long, roughly one foot wide, with sparse flow.

This was still the result of his effort.

"Reached the limit. Indeed, with my realm, it's impossible to condense a broader Changhe."

Zhang Taixuan did not force it; he cultivated the remaining four divine arts, then stopped outright.

Spacetime Sealing, Time Acceleration, Slowing, and Stopping each have their own limits.

The duration of control is short, the area affected is small, and the enemy's strength cannot be vastly superior.

This is quite normal.

When he comprehended these divine arts, he understood.

With his strength, he could never halt the time of the entire Grand World.

He gazed at the Taixuan Cave Heaven, his thoughts swirling.

"This Cave Heaven is forged from Great Luo Silver Essence; logically, it should be sufficient."

"But since it bears my name, this Cave Heaven cannot be too shabby."

With so much immortal metal acquired, even fully refining the Qiankun Cauldron and the Star-Measuring Ruler still left surplus.

This surplus could naturally be applied to the Cave Heaven.

After pondering for a moment and devising the improvements, he began.

There were three areas to improve in the Cave Heaven.

First, material—enhancing its growth ceiling.

Second, array patterns—to strengthen all functions of the Cave Heaven.

Third, forging the Changhe into it—to make the Cave Heaven more mysterious.

He tossed a piece of Chaos Stone, a piece of Feathered Qing Gold, and a piece of Dragon-Pattern Black Gold into the Qiankun Cauldron, beginning slow hammering.

After over a fortnight of continuous hammering, the materials finally melted into liquid.

"Draw!"

"Merge!"

With a thought, the solidified liquid merged into the foundational material of the Pot's Heaven.

Yet during this forging process, the inhabitants of the Taixuan Cave Heaven saw not a single anomaly.

In moments, all materials were absorbed into the Taixuan Cave Heaven, raising its ceiling to Emperor grade.

When he becomes a True Immortal, a slight refinement will upgrade this Cave Heaven into a Divine Artifact.

"Next, the array patterns."

The array pattern improvements focused primarily on converting celestial essence into spiritual energy.

Though he does not grow spiritual herbs for credits, who would mind if their world's spiritual energy were too dense?

At the Immortal Third Realm, his spiritual sense is stronger, making array imprinting faster and easier.

In moments, the array patterns of the Taixuan Cave Heaven had transformed entirely, inside and out.

The entire vessel now glowed purple, adorned with faint feather and dragon patterns, appearing noble and mystical.

Its aura had grown vastly stronger—even rivaling some Sacred Weapons without weakness.

"Changhe, forge!"

With a thought, the Changhe he forged merged into the Taixuan Cave Heaven.

Boom—

As if creating heaven and earth, after the Changhe merged, the Taixuan Cave Heaven showed no outward change, yet its essence transformed.

Without the Changhe, a Cave Heaven remains merely a Cave Heaven, no matter how vast its area.

With the Changhe, even the smallest Cave Heaven becomes a World.

This is a difference in ontological rank.

As the Changhe merged, the entire Taixuan Cave Heaven brimmed with vitality; its inhabitants reaped the first benefits.

The Hundred Blossom Butterflies and Bai Yu Bees, as the Cave Heaven's first inhabitants, directly fused their aura with heaven and earth, their strength and lifespan surging hundreds of times—reaching Completion of Dragon Transformation in power and tens of thousands of years in lifespan.

At this moment, they were equivalent to primordial lifeforms at the dawn of creation, their roots profoundly deep.

"Father God!"

"Father God is transforming heaven and earth."

"Is it Master?" Zhou Zhiruo also sensed her own change—her mind grew sharper, her skin more fair and rosy.

And as the master of the small world, Zhang Taixuan reaped the greatest gains.

Threads of primordial essence surged toward him, as if appearing from nothing, pouring directly into his body.

His strength climbed gradually.
