Chapter 1256: Time Delay Forbidden Array (Second update, requesting everything)

In addition to his cultivation, Li Zhangsheng would also set aside time to perfect the time-type Forbidden Array that activates the Time Dragon Scale.

Thanks to consuming the Wisdom Fruit, coupled with the powerful auxiliary capabilities of the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant, Li Zhangsheng finally achieved initial results in this area, creating a time-type Forbidden Array.

This Forbidden Array was called the Time Delay Forbidden Array by Li Zhangsheng; its effect is simple: using the Time Dragon Scale as a base, it can cause time within a certain range to slow down, with a maximum delay of five times.

However, the larger the range of the Forbidden Array, the greater the consumption, and the higher the time delay multiplier, the more the cost increases geometrically.

Because of this, the most cost-effective setting is a two-fold time delay; for every minute that passes outside, two minutes pass inside, which in a way allows Li Zhangsheng to forcibly gain an extra amount of time.

The only pity is that Li Zhangsheng only has two Time Dragon Scales in his possession, so even at just a two-fold time delay, he can only maintain it for three months at most.

Li Zhangsheng must use it sparingly; he decided to activate the Time Delay Forbidden Array for two hours every day, mainly to cultivate his Mental Power.

Given that cultivating the "All-Heaven Star Dou" only yields twice the result with half the effort at night, and considering the Fairy World is round like the sky and square like the earth, Li Zhangsheng decided to utilize the time difference between the Fairy World and other worlds to cultivate.

Doing this is a bit troublesome, but it can allow the Mental Power cultivation speed of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen to increase by one-fold.

Among them, Bizhen's Mental Power is already nearing the King Peak; if she utilizes the Time Delay Forbidden Array, it is feared that it won't be long before she can attempt a breakthrough.

Besides researching the Time Delay Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng also took time to cultivate the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions"; this Top-tier Demon Taming Art is quite special, as one can practice it through hard work, but one can also rely on "spending money" to cultivate it—as long as there are enough Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to refine, one can reach perfection.

Judging from the inheritance of the Sun Sovereign, even if one piles up Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, it is not substantially different from hard work, and the key is that there are no side effects to speak of.

In addition to increasing physical strength, Li Zhangsheng also covets the seventy-two transformations and the ability to transform into a Golden Crow from the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions".

Spending a few days, Li Zhangsheng relied on his powerful talent to cultivate the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" to the first level, gaining the ability to refine Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, though his physical strength remained unchanged, making it impossible to detect.

There is no help for it; the Golden Body Jade Bone and Immortal Substance are not just empty talk, the "All-Heaven Star Dou" has a very strong effect on tempering the body, and he has also refined various types of Divine Beast Essence Blood, so his physical strength is likely only second to a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng began to refine Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to rapidly increase the progress of the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions".

The so-called Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure refers to treasures naturally born from heaven and earth, mostly consisting of ores and spiritual plants; as for parts from the bodies of Spirit Beast or finished Strange Treasure and Treasure, the effects are negligible.

As the master of Langya Kingdom, Dai Kingdom, and Xi Kingdom, Li Zhangsheng possesses a large amount of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

However, the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" also has requirements for Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure; the higher the revolution, the higher the grade of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure required.

For the second and third revolutions, Li Zhangsheng refined a large amount of low-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure and achieved them easily.

By the fourth revolution, low-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure became ineffective, and he could only refine Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that reached the Heaven and Earth Wonder grade, which was still easily accomplished by Li Zhangsheng.

The fifth revolution could still refine Heaven and Earth Wonder grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, only the quantity was several times that of the fourth level.

By the time he reached the sixth revolution, Heaven and Earth Wonder grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure became ineffective, and he could only use Heavenly Essence Grade; Li Zhangsheng almost ransacked the treasuries of the three kingdoms, plus his own collections, to barely gather enough, just managing to let the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" reach the seventh level.

Up to this moment, crackling sounds emitted from Li Zhangsheng's entire body; he could clearly feel his physical strength rapidly climbing, and there was even a mysterious and profound feeling, as he grasped some relatively simple transformation techniques.

Li Zhangsheng sensed it for a while; his physical strength had increased by about thirty percent, and even though there was still a gap compared to a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer, it was certainly not very large.

What made Li Zhangsheng most helpless was that the requirements for the seventh revolution of the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" were a notch higher; only Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade or higher Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure could continue to push it forward, which put him in a difficult spot.

Li Zhangsheng ultimately refined some surplus Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, but it only barely brought the seventh revolution to the middle stage, and his physical strength increased by another twenty percent.

This "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" can be called a gold-devouring giant, but the effects are indeed quite good.

Besides physical strength, Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power also grew slightly, but compared to the progress in his body, the effect was very small; in this aspect, the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" clearly has a gap compared to the "All-Heaven Star Dou".

As for why the Sun Sovereign did not cultivate other Demon Taming Arts besides the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions", besides wanting to cultivate the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" to the ninth revolution, the main reason was that he did not want to cultivate the "All-Heaven Star Dou".

In the inheritance of the Sun Sovereign, Li Zhangsheng was surprised to discover that this guy actually had the intention of setting up his own independent sect, but once one cultivates the "All-Heaven Star Dou", not only would one be subject to certain restrictions, the key is that no one can guarantee whether the Star Emperor has tampered with it.

As for other Demon Taming Arts besides the "All-Heaven Star Dou", the Sun Sovereign had also thought about it, but he couldn't just cultivate a Demon Taming Art inferior to the "All-Heaven Star Dou", otherwise he would definitely be suspected by the Star Emperor.

Therefore, the Sun Sovereign always declined on the grounds that the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" had not yet reached the ninth revolution.

Unlike other Top-tier Demon Taming Arts, the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" does not have grade restrictions; even a Double-Character King can still reach the ninth revolution.

However, after hundreds of years of accumulation, plus the gifts from the Star Emperor, the Sun Sovereign remained stuck at the eighth revolution until his death, naturally failing to realize his grand ambitions.

Li Zhangsheng has abundant savings; if he were willing, he could at least let the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" reach the late stage or even perfection, but he is reluctant to do so, as the other Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure are all very precious, such as the Snow Soul Ice Crystal Fruit, Profound Meaning Crystal, etc.

However, this does not mean Li Zhangsheng has no way; he once again issued an order to the Langya Kingdom, Dai Kingdom, and Xi Kingdom under his control: any Demon Tamer who actively contributes Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure will not only be able to obtain a quota for Emperor Flowing Plasma, but will also have certain requirements met according to the grade of the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, such as high-quality Spirit Beast, Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill, Bloodline Potion, etc.

As expected, this order once again moved the major forces and lone practitioners; before long, Li Zhangsheng will be able to harvest quite a few Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade or even World Wonder grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, which is exciting just to think about.

However, not many days later, Zuo Qiulin sent an urgent message: the Abyss Gate suppressed by the Sky Fortress has undergone a massive change, and Li Zhangsheng is urgently needed to preside over it.

Happy May Day to everyone, but there are too many people traveling, I'm afraid it's going to be jammed like a dog -_-||
