Chapter 282: Twenty Days of Tenfold Time Flow, Ye Bai Enters Seventh Grade Peak!

~9 min read 1,759 words

"Inside here, there is actually enough Time Sand to maintain a tenfold time flow rate for a full twenty days..."

Ye Bai then used his Mental Power to check the amount of Time Sand stored inside the hourglass.

While his surprise grew deeper, his confusion actually deepened as well.

That person rumored to be a Human Race powerhouse from the ancient era, why would they place Time Sand in the palace, and in such a staggering amount?

Twenty days equaling two hundred days of cultivation time is indeed of extraordinary value; I believe if thrown into the outside world, it could trigger a massive sensation.

But in all fairness, apart from Ye Bai, would this opportunity be as attractive to any other Martial Artist as the opportunity to directly forge the prototype of an Immortal Golden Body?

After all, without sufficient talent and effort, this amount of time is not enough to forge a Golden Body prototype from scratch, yet this Time Sand is clearly the most precious resource within the Palace Complex.

"Is it that they felt the early stages of forging an Immortal Golden Body have limited improvement on a Martial Artist's combat power, and are not as helpful for resolving crises as two hundred days of bitter cultivation?"

"Or perhaps, the opportunities in the altars guarded by the Silver-Armored and Gold-Armored Men in the palace were also guessed wrong by everyone; they aren't for forging an Immortal Golden Body, but are Time Altars with less Time Sand?"

Speaking of this, it is very necessary to mention the detailed information about the Immortal Golden Body that Ye Bai learned from Wu Zhangsheng before entering the Yiji.

The forging of an Immortal Golden Body actually has the same effect as the Third Grade Bone Tempering; both start from one part and bit by bit transform the entire body of a Martial King powerhouse into an Immortal Golden Body.

However, the difference is that the strength gained from Bone Tempering comes directly from the part of the bones that have become stronger; while becoming harder, it allows the same amount of Qi and Blood to erupt with greater power.

The Immortal Golden Body, though it also has this effect.

It is only incidental.

What truly makes the ability of the Immortal Golden Body extraordinary is the Immortal Qi unique to that Martial Artist, which can be produced once the forging of the Golden Body reaches a certain progress!

But only by completing at least 5% of the forging, turning one palm into an Immortal Golden Body, can one produce a wisp of Immortal Qi.

Even the effect of a single wisp of Immortal Qi is limited; it can only allow this Martial Artist to briefly erupt with combat power exceeding the Seventh Grade Peak, and they will return to their original form in at most a few seconds—a total "one-second man."

If the Martial Artist has not even fully comprehended their Domain, even if one palm is immortalized, they cannot produce Immortal Qi.

The greatest use might be allowing the Martial Artist to use that Golden Body palm to block a fatal attack from an enemy.

The true power of the Immortal Golden Body can only be unleashed after truly stepping into the Eighth Grade, when one can rely on oneself to continuously regenerate new Immortal Qi.

Not only will one possess the ability to walk on air and have an eternally immortal physical body, but any severe injury can also be recovered in an instant by consuming Immortal Qi; furthermore, using all previous methods, including the Domain, every strike will be able to unleash power over a hundred times greater than at the Seventh Grade Realm because one can use Immortal Qi without restraint!

This is the reason why Ye Bai has never been interested in forging a Golden Body prototype, and even after coming to the palace, he chose not to take those opportunities because there were not many Silver-Armored or Gold-Armored Men.

After all, even if he could enter the Seventh Grade in half a month, and continue to improve his Qi and Blood afterward, he could achieve the Seventh Grade Peak in three months.

Plus an Immortal Golden Body with over 5% progress.

Even with one person's strength, it would be difficult to kill six Alien Race members while protecting Meigui, Zhu Huang, and the other Great Xia prodigies from dying!

And back to business.

Although his inner confusion was several degrees deeper and he had some guesses because of it, he certainly could not get the answers at the moment.

Therefore, he simply cast it to the back of his mind.

"Let's go!"

With only surprise left in his heart, he walked to the hourglass and directly activated the tenfold time flow rate!

Setting aside his doubts, he only knew that this harvest would allow his strength to skyrocket by a huge margin!

And time, in the blink of an eye, passed for two months and twenty-nine days!

Still inside the palace.

At this moment, the countdown above the palace had less than one day remaining!

Therefore, just after Zhu Peng came out of a palace, she looked up at the countdown in the sky, and her brows furrowed tightly!

However, it was not because her harvest in the palace was poor.

"Little sister, how is it?

Has brother-in-law come out yet?"

"And Li Qingqing, who is in that palace, has she not come out yet either?"

She saw Zhu Huang in the corner and asked.

Yes, Zhu Peng already knew at this moment that Li Qingqing, who had entered the Palace Complex first, was currently inside a central palace!

It was Ye Bai who had come out of a central palace more than two months ago.

Before that, Zhu Peng and the others were truly anxious because of Ye Bai's sudden disappearance.

Then Zhu Peng was pleasantly surprised to find that Ye Bai's realm had actually reached the Seventh Grade Peak, even higher than hers!

And she even felt a faint sense of threat from Ye Bai!

At the same time, she also learned that Ye Bai's sudden disappearance earlier was because he was suddenly sucked into one of the central palaces while looking for Li Qingqing.

And after Ye Bai came out, he carefully searched with his Mental Power, and combined with the information he had previously investigated, he guessed that Li Qingqing was in all likelihood inside the second central palace!

Zhu Peng had promised Ye Bai at the time to have someone keep an eye on that palace and inform the other party of the current situation within the Yiji the moment Li Qingqing came out of seclusion.

As for why it wasn't Ye Bai himself guarding outside the palace, according to the initial plan, waiting for Li Qingqing to come out of seclusion was when he decided to go and pass a trial guarded by a Gold-Armored Man.

"Not to mention what's going on with Li Qingqing.

Brother-in-law's speculation is wrong!"

"The opportunity guarded by the Gold-Armored Man is still to help Human Race prodigies forge an Immortal Golden Body, not the tenfold time flow rate he mentioned!"

"The key is that brother-in-law has actually stayed in the Gold-Armored Man's trial for over two months and still hasn't come out!!"

Ye Bai never came out after entering the second palace.

This is the reason why Zhu Peng's brows furrowed tightly after one look at the countdown!

You must know, last time Ye Bai appeared, she had taken an opportunity from a palace guarded by a Silver-Armored Man, forged her own Immortal Golden Body outside, and then not long after, she completely digested the opportunity and also entered a palace guarded by a Gold-Armored Man.

But she had come out long ago!

She even challenged two more palaces guarded by Silver-Armored Men afterward!

"Is it possible that Ye Bai is forging his own Immortal Golden Body inside?"

"And perhaps his talent in this area isn't very ideal?"

"Plus, the time given to everyone here is three months, not the one month given by the Altar outside, so he has been staying inside all along; will he come out on his own when the time is up?"

Zhu Huang's willow-leaf eyebrows were also tightly furrowed, but she speculated.

Everyone's Immortal Golden Body is unique, so while it is said that one can obtain the opportunity to forge an Immortal Golden Body after passing the trial, in reality, these opportunities are merely auxiliary.

The time it takes for each person to forge their own Immortal Golden Body through these opportunities is different.

Take Zhu Peng for example; because he obtained multiple opportunities, the forging progress of his Immortal Golden Body has already reached 10% at this moment.

As another top-tier among the top-tier, Lie Jie of the Great Bear Country, even with the same number of opportunities as Zhu Peng, has a forging progress of his Immortal Golden Body of less than 7% at this moment.

"Do you think that's possible?"

"That is a monster who, in a mere twenty days, actually advanced from Sixth Grade Peak to Seventh Grade Peak!"

"Even with some ten-fold time dilation buff, forging an Immortal Golden Body should be a piece of cake for him!"

Zhu Peng said.

"I think it is more likely that Ye Bai is just unlucky; although the Palace he entered is also guarded by a Gold-Armored Man, that Gold-Armored Man's abilities specifically counter Ye Bai..."

"He has been unable to pass the trial for the past two-plus months, which is why he hasn't been restricted by the one-month time limit!"

"The same logic applies to Li Qingqing! The opportunities inside her Palace are definitely not some ten-fold time dilation either!"

Then came another long sigh.

"Then Sister, what should we do? Should we try attacking the Palace to rescue Ye Bai and Sister Qingqing?" Zhu Huang was startled.

"Attacking the Palace might not necessarily rescue them from the Different Space..."

"Let's wait; it's the last day anyway. Perhaps when this area of Palaces is forced out of the Different Space, they will be forcibly sent out even if they haven't passed the trial!"

"If they don't come out, we will then try attacking the Palaces they are in!"

Zhu Peng said.

And while waiting.

The time of one day also passed in the blink of an eye...

"Crack!"

Countless cracks appeared in the Different Space where the entire area of Palaces was located!

The three-month development period was about to end!
