Chapter 1219 – Cultivation Pagoda
The appearance of the Sky Water Yao Race sapped Zhao Feng and Quasi-God Jian Feng of all their appetite. After sampling a few of the dishes made from the creatures of the deep sea, Zhao Feng’s group left.
“There’s still some time until the Gulong Martial Gathering. What does Brother Zhao plan on doing?” Quasi-God Jian Feng asked.
He had been the one to suggest going to Sea Pearl Tower, not knowing that the people from the Sky Water Yao Race would show up.
The Sky Water Yao Race didn’t dare to do anything to Zhao Feng right now, but there were no guarantees once the martial gathering was over.
“I plan to find a place to stay and firm up my foundations,” Zhao Feng said with a smile.
The Gulong Martial Gathering posed no difficulty to Zhao Feng. He was confident in defeating even Quasi-God Tian Xue.
But Zhao Feng’s foes did not consist of just these Quasi-Gods. For example, the entire Sky Water Yao Race had its eyes on Zhao Feng, and Han Ning’er was wanted by Yellow Dragon Pavilion.
Fortunately, this martial gathering is being organized by two Quasi-Gods and isn’t being watched too much. The Sky Water Yao Race only sent a Rank Five True God to protect its Quasi-God disciples, Zhao Feng mentally noted.
Only after coming here did Zhao Feng understand that the powerful factions had only sent the second-rate prodigies of their race, such as the Sky Haze Race’s Quasi-God Jian Feng.
The strongest genius of the Sky Haze Race was also an individual on the Quasi-God Ranking. This person was probably receiving the best training the race could provide so that they could attain an even higher ranking in the future Quasi-God Ranking Competition.
With that in mind, even half of the top twenty Quasi-Gods showing up in this Gulong Martial Gathering would be quite impressive. The majority were not necessarily guaranteed to show up.
“Then Brother Zhao should pay a visit to the Cultivation Pagoda!” Quasi-God Jian Feng immediately suggested.
“Cultivation Pagoda?” A look of curiosity appeared in Zhao Feng’s eyes.
“A few of the higher-level Exchange Spiritual Halls have Cultivation Pagodas: places specifically built for martial artists to enter secluded cultivation. Each chamber of a Cultivation Pagoda is its own Little World. There are various environments available to choose from, and you can even adjust conditions like gravity and temperature. The even more advanced chambers were opened up by experts skilled in Time Intent. Two days spent cultivating in there is equivalent to just one day in the outside world.” Quasi-God Jian Feng knew that Zhao Feng might have never heard of Cultivation Pagodas before and gave him a detailed explanation.
“Let’s go and take a look!”
Zhao Feng’s Spacetime Robe was already the best cultivation dimension, but Zhao Feng was extremely interested in these Cultivation Pagodas Jian Feng spoke of and wanted to experience them for himself.
Zhao Feng’s group set off for the Cultivation Pagoda.
It was an enormous and mystical pagoda built in an ancient style. In terms of height, this pagoda could be considered one of the tallest buildings in the area. In addition, the pagoda was shrouded in a formidable array that cut off the probing of Divine Sense.
“Good Sirs, the chambers of the first six floors of the Cultivation Pagoda are already occupied.” An alluring maiden dressed in green standing at the entrance to the Cultivation Pagoda spoke, a smile on her face.
“Brother Zhao, the Cultivation Pagoda has nine floors in total. The first six floors don’t have any chambers with Time Intent. From the seventh floor and up, all the chambers have Time Intent, and if you cultivate on the ninth floor, five days is equivalent to only one day on the outside world.” Quasi-God Jian Feng was extremely familiar with the Cultivation Pagoda.
The Sky Haze Race itself had a Cultivation Pagoda, and its effects were even better than this one.
Zhao Feng froze for a moment. In his Spacetime Robe, time flowed ten times slower than it did on the outside world. Ten days in the Spacetime Robe was equivalent to one day on the outside!
“A cultivation chamber on the seventh floor costs one hundred low-quality God Crystals for one month.” Seeing how familiar Quasi-God Jian Feng was with the Cultivation Pagodas, the green-clothed woman knew that this was a genius from a major faction, and her smile became even more dazzling.
In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, God Crystals were divided into substandard quality, low quality, average quality, high quality, and supreme quality. From substandard all the way to high quality, the exchange rate between qualities was always 100 to 1. As for supreme-quality God Crystals, these were extremely rare in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. As the highest quality of God Crystals, they were essentially priceless. Not even one million high-quality God Crystals were guaranteed to exchange for one supreme-quality God Crystal.
“Then I’ll go to the seventh floor,” Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.
Zhao Feng owned a low-quality God Crystal mine in the Ancient Dream Realm, so this amount of God Crystals meant nothing to him.
“Brother Zhao, I still have other business, so I won’t keep you company.” Quasi-God Jian Feng appeared to have little interest in the Cultivation Pagoda. Of course, it might also have been because Quasi-God Jian Feng wanted to meet some other Quasi-God prodigies before the Gulong Martial Gathering began.
“That’s fine. I’ll entrust my little sister to you, Quasi-God Jian Feng!” After thinking for a few moments, Zhao Feng decided to leave Han Ning’er with Quasi-God Jian Feng for a while.
“May I ask how long this guest plans to cultivate?” the woman in green asked.
“One month.” Zhao Feng paid the fee of one hundred low-quality God Crystals, took a token, and headed into the Cultivation Pagoda.
On the first floor, the one hundred cultivation chambers were all shut. Two or three people were standing by almost every door, apparently to fight for the spot when it became available.
Zhao Feng saw a similar situation on the second floor. It was only on the sixth floor that Zhao Feng saw only three people waiting around.
Zhao Feng ascended to the seventh floor. There were only twenty cultivation chambers on the seventh floor, three of which were available.
Zhao Feng went to one of the open chambers and inserted his token into a groove next to the door.
Bzzzz!
A screen of light appeared in front of Zhao Feng. From this, Zhao Feng could choose the environment, gravity, temperature, and other conditions of the chamber.
After randomly picking an environment, Zhao Feng entered the cultivation chamber. After all, Zhao Feng had only come to look around. For actual cultivation, the dimension within the Spacetime Robe was far superior.
“It really is rather nice. If I didn’t have the Spacetime Robe, I would definitely choose to cultivate in the Exchange Spiritual Hall’s Cultivation Pagoda!” Zhao Feng looked around at this dimension built specifically for cultivating and concluded.
Almost all the major factions had secret cultivation dimensions like this. This was why the many races of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods so desperately fought to enter the ranks of the major factions. The more powerful factions had more revered statuses and would receive better treatment when it came to cultivation and resources.
“I wonder if I can layer the effects of the Spacetime Robe on top of this dimension!”
If the time flow of the cultivation chamber could be overlapped with the time flow of the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng would be able to cultivate for even longer.
Bzzzz!
Zhao Feng activated the God’s Spiritual Eye and scanned every inch of this Little World. After ensuring that there was nothing suspicious, Zhao Feng took out the Spacetime Robe.
Swish!
Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension. Above him was a vast and mysterious sky of stars and below him was a gray stone slab covered in runes.
“They don’t overlap….” Zhao Feng used his Time Intent to obtain this conclusion.
“Master, I’ve already recovered to the level of a Rank Three True God!” the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon excitedly called out from nearby. At its peak, it was a Rank Six True God. It was not very far from returning to this state.
Zhao Wang, Zhao Hui, and the little thieving cat were also present in this space.
“I wonder how Zhao Wan is doing with the expansion in the Ancient Dream Realm?” Zhao Feng muttered.
He currently had three clones. Zhao Wang needed time to refine the Staff of Death Curse and suppress its evil influences. Meanwhile, Zhao Hui needed to cultivate the Dao of Medicine. So much time was needed to establish his theoretical knowledge base that he no time for anything else. Thus, Zhao Feng had sent Zhao Wan to expand his territory in the Ancient Dream Realm.
It was a blessing that he had the Ancient Dream Realm. Otherwise, he would have never had the resources for his entire group to cultivate.
“The little thieving cat is about to break through into the Heavenly Divine Realm!” Zhao Feng murmured in surprise.
The little thieving cat was currently taking a nap on the floor, but Zhao Feng knew that it was cultivating.
The little thieving cat’s true fighting power was not that impressive, so Zhao Feng really didn’t know what rank of True God it would be able to reach.
Thud!
Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged on the floor and began to cultivate.
“Five Elements Become One, the 11th level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, requires fewer resources, but it places more importance on one’s comprehensive ability. Those without enough talent might never be able to reach the next level!”
After taking out many cultivating resources, Zhao Feng began to circulate the technique and absorb the energy within the resources. At the same time, Zhao Feng sent his mind into the Divine Power Vortex, immersing it in the world of Five Elements Divine Power.
“I’ve already reached the late stage of Five Elements Become One!” Zhao Feng felt a little satisfied with himself.
Zhao Wan had the Eye of Myriad Forms. As long as he was cultivating, Zhao Feng would be able to comprehend a great deal about Five Elements energy. For this reason, Zhao Feng’s fusion with Five Elements Divine Power proceeded at almost divine speeds.
When Zhao Feng completely fused the Five Elements Divine Power and reached the peak stage, Zhao Feng’s Five Elements Divine Power would be equivalent to the Divine Power of a Rank Four True God.
While cultivating the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, Zhao Feng was also tempering his Sacred Lightning Body, studying the Soul Splitting Technique, absorbing the God Tribulation energy of the Lightning God Crystals, and other such tasks.
While the power of Tribulation Lightning was fatal to experts below the True God level, it could only pose somewhat of a threat to True Gods.
However, Zhao Feng’s Tribulation Lightning power seemed to grow stronger as he matured. There could be only one reason for this – Zhao Feng was about to comprehend Destruction Intent.
The source of the God Tribulation was Destruction Intent. Thus, the power of Tribulation Lightning was also decided by its Destruction Intent.
Time slowly passed. There were still thirty days until the Gulong Martial Gathering, which meant that Zhao Feng could spend three hundred days cultivating in the Spacetime Robe.
Zhao Feng had been so busy ever since he left Sky Feather Island that he never found a chance to properly cultivate. It had been a long time since he entered secluded cultivation.
Perhaps it was precisely because this was the case that Zhao Feng found this cultivation session to be proceeding much more smoothly, with many barriers swiftly being cleared away.
…
While Zhao Feng was in the territory of Stellar Tower preparing for the Gulong Martial Gathering, an uninvited guest arrived at the territory of the Golden Jade Race.
Kaboom!
The skies over the territory of the Golden Jade Race were gloomy, and the howls of demons and monsters resounded through the air.
“Your Excellency, what matter brings you here?” An elder whose body was made of transparent gold and jade immediately stepped forward.
“Patriarch!” All the members of the Golden Jade Race immediately kneeled.
This elder was the patriarch of the Golden Jade Race, a Rank Seven Ancient God. To everyone’s surprise, their patriarch meekly bowed before this uninvited guest.
In front of the Golden Jade Race Patriarch was a middle-aged man with pitch-black skin that was covered in monstrous and bewitching violet tattoos. He had a cold and aloof expression as if he was looking down upon all living beings.
This man was the one sent out by the Ancient Soul Hall to seek out the Ancient God Seal, Ancient God Black Heaven!
“Have any of you seen this object?” A screen of light appeared next to Ancient God Black Heaven, on which the image of a black metal triangle covered with complicated green patterns emerged.
Everyone indicated that they had never seen such a thing.
Ancient God Black Heaven took his leave of the Golden Jade Race, but he continued to travel around its territory.
“Just what sort of item was that? The Ancient Soul Hall even personally sent out an Ancient God!” The Golden Jade Race Patriarch sighed in shock.
The zone in which the Ancient Soul Hall was located was extremely far from this zone, but in its golden age, the Ancient Soul Hall had been the strongest five-star faction in all of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Even though it was no longer at its most flourishing, it was still an extremely terrifying existence amongst the five-star factions.
