Chapter 1351: Time Stop (First update, requesting everything)

Note: As pointed out by readers, the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon has been changed from a Mid-level Divine Beast to a Superior Divine Beast.

Perhaps due to the Candle Dragon bloodline, after this evolution, the quality of the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon rose another level, becoming Half-Step Legendary Quality.

If one adds the changes in race and realm, the combat power of the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon has surged, though it still cannot enter the top five among the main Demon Pets.

Even so, the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon can already provide help to Li Zhangsheng, no longer just tagging along as before.

In his communication with the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon, Li Zhangsheng learned of changes in other aspects.

The characteristics of the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon have not changed; they remain Call Wind and Summon Rain, Dragon Might, and Dragon Concealment, though two Bloodline Inheritance Skills have been added.

Time Stop: Stops time within a certain range. Note: The range depends on the user's realm; the effect is greatly diminished against Demon Pets with a higher realm than the user.

Time Cage: A binding skill that controls time to create a cage, trapping the target within it; the flow of time within the cage can be controlled. Note: The strength and flow rate of the Time Cage depend on the realm.

It must be said that these are two skills with a very high cost-performance ratio.

There is no need to mention Time Stop; used well, it can even turn defeat into victory. The only pity is that the effect of Time Stop is greatly diminished against Demon Pets with a higher realm than the user, which is a common flaw of time and space skills—they are best at bullying the weak, and once they encounter a strong enemy, it is difficult to exert their normal standard.

As for the Time Cage, if used well, it can change the situation; for example, by trapping one or more Demon Pets, one can use the time flow rate to make it difficult for them to exert their effects within a certain period.

Li Zhangsheng specifically had the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon test it, and the effect was indeed astonishing. The Four-Clawed Silver Dragon can control the time flow rate of the Time Cage, but it only includes acceleration, deceleration, and even stopping.

Among them, the energy consumed for acceleration and deceleration is far lower than for stopping, and the greater the multiple, the more energy is consumed.

In addition, as the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon advances to the Demon Saint level, the energy within its body far exceeds what it was before, which can provide no small amount of help to Li Zhangsheng's cultivation.

The principle is very simple: just have the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon inject time energy into the Time Delay Forbidden Array created by Li Zhangsheng.

To use a metaphor, the Time Dragon Scale is equivalent to a battery, the Time Delay Forbidden Array is the engine, and the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon's time energy is the electricity; when the three are combined, the effect is quite astonishing.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng cannot keep the ten-fold speed open all the time, and even five-fold is not enough; this mainly depends on the recovery speed of the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng can keep the Time Delay Forbidden Array open all the time, and at three-fold speed, which is almost equivalent to his cultivation speed reaching three times the normal amount.

At the current speed, Li Zhangsheng is confident that he will be on the verge of the peak of Mental Power within two years; if the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon continues to progress during this period, it will be even shorter.

Spending some time, Li Zhangsheng initially mastered the auxiliary Great Divine Ability, Bloom in an Instant.

Li Zhangsheng came to the Secret Realm Central Medicine Garden, gazing at the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree in front of him, preparing to test the effect of Bloom in an Instant.

On the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree, 365 flower buds had already bloomed; according to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, it would take at least a year or two for the buds to fully bloom.

Bloom in an Instant!

A green light appeared, instantly hitting the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree.

Just by releasing it once, Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power was consumed by as much as ten percent.

The Mental Power consumed by Bloom in an Instant is related to the volume and rank of the spiritual plant; the larger the volume and the higher the rank, the more Mental Power is consumed.

The green light spread rapidly, covering the entire Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the 365 flower buds began to bloom at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bloom in an Instant is linked to equivalent exchange; as the flower buds of the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree gradually bloomed, the nearby Star Power spontaneously gathered and was rapidly devoured by the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree.

Besides this, the soil fertility near the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree was also rapidly being lost, along with a large amount of moisture.

Li Zhangsheng immediately shattered a batch of materials containing star power, making the nearby star power rich for the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree to absorb.

After a quarter of an hour, the 365 flower buds were already in a half-bloomed state; until this moment, the power of Bloom in an Instant was also exhausted.

Since Bloom in an Instant can only be used on the same spiritual plant every three days, Li Zhangsheng estimated that it would take about ten times to make the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit mature, which means he could harvest a batch of Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit every month.

At his current realm, the effect of the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit is naturally not as good as before; even so, his cultivation speed has increased by at least fifty percent.

This is just the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree; Li Zhangsheng can also cast Bloom in an Instant on other fruit trees, such as the Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, the Holy Tree, the Golden Apple Tree, and so on.

"It's a pity that the Fusang Tree cannot cultivate fruit!"

Li Zhangsheng could not help but feel a bit regretful; he only had this one Superior Quality Top-tier Spiritual Plant, the Fusang Tree, in his hands.

Of course, if the origin of the Golden Apple Tree recovers, it can also reach the level of a Superior Quality Top-tier Spiritual Plant.

It is just that Li Zhangsheng has no way to recover the origin of the Golden Apple Tree for the time being.

In addition, Li Zhangsheng must recover the soil fertility as soon as possible; otherwise, once the soil fertility is severely lost, it will be extremely unfavorable for the growth of the spiritual plants.

Breathing Soil and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil can recover soil fertility by absorbing energy, but they do not occupy a large proportion; the Central Medicine Garden has more relatively ordinary Spirit Soil.

The speed at which these Spirit Soils absorb energy can almost be ignored, but this does not mean there is no way; Li Zhangsheng only needs to bury Demon Cores of various attributes in the soil, and in addition, he must water them with nutrient solution every day to recover the soil fertility.

Besides this, the goal can also be achieved by replacing the soil.

In the time that followed, Li Zhangsheng tested every fruit tree.

From the effect, the effect of the fruit of a Low-grade Top-tier Spirit Plant far exceeds that of a Mid-grade Top-tier Spirit Plant; the effect of the latter is only about thirty percent of the former.

Inferring from this, the effect of Bloom in an Instant on the fruit of a Superior Quality Top-tier Spirit Plant might only be ten percent, or even less than ten percent, of that of a Low-grade Top-tier Spirit Plant fruit.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng was very satisfied.

He only needs to release Bloom in an Instant every three days, and the matter of recovering soil fertility can be completely left to the Spirit Planters; in this way, the cultivation speed of the fruit can be greatly increased, and the cost can be described as negligible, so he was naturally happier than usual.

After his Mental Power recovered, Li Zhangsheng began to cultivate the Golden Crow Nine Revolutions, digesting the surplus treasures, hoping to push the Golden Crow Nine Revolutions to the ninth level.

By that time, not only could his physical strength go a step further, but he could also transform into a Demon Emperor Level Three-Legged Golden Crow, which is very useful for fighting, escaping, and pursuing.
