Years flew by and time flew like an arrow.
Tan Xiu relied on the Devour divine ability to skyrocket his cultivation to the late-stage of the Crossing Tribulation Stage, but it also brought him a lot of hidden dangers. Without a down-to-earth tempering step by step, not only could he not control the skyrocketing power in his body, but he also couldn't exert the power of the 6th stage of the Star Heavenly Essence Stage. Even his physique couldn't reach the level of normal cultivation.
Three years.
For three years, Tan Xiu only left Nine Dragons Island once. That was to head to the Strait of Malacca, also known as the Crossroads of the Sea, with the fully recovered Gu Yan 'er and the exquisite pagoda. He then transferred all 35,680 intelligent plants that had taken human forms into the small world of the Longquan Mountain.
Then …
He contacted Duanmu Lin and handed over a large number of high-tech facilities in the three-star vestige to him. As for the research base secretly established in China, Tan Xiu didn't pay much attention to it. He just ordered the Tang Sect's disciples to stay in China to help the country if there were any difficulties.
Nine Dragons Island.
Inside the exquisite pagoda, Tan Xiu held a cup of fragrant hot tea and gently took a sip. Sitting cross-legged in front of him was Teng Nu. Her aura was faintly discernible and she looked like a violent volcano. Even though Tan Xiu had completely stabilized his current realm and was now comparable to a late-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivator, he still felt a bit startled inside.
"Master."
At the staircase inside the pagoda, Gu Yan 'er, clad in a white battle robe, walked down with a smile on her face. Her misty eyes gently glanced at Teng Nu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then shifted to Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu's expression shifted and he asked, "Have you recovered to the Golden Immortal Stage?"
"We've spent a lot of cultivation resources in the past three years and finally managed to refine the Primordial Chaos Pill," said Gu Yan 'er with a smile. "Wouldn't it be a waste of resources if I can't recover to the Golden Immortal Stage?"
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "The Holy Dragon Fruit I obtained a few years ago is the main reason why I was able to refine the Primordial Chaos Pill. Who would have thought that the holy fruit that countless almighties in the Immortal World are trying to obtain would actually exist on this tiny Earth? "
Gu Yan 'er smilingly said, "Master, our Tang Sect has obtained nearly all the cultivation resources in every corner of Earth in the last three years. The rate of consumption is also extremely fast. If this goes on, it won't take more than two years for all the resources in our sect's reserves to be depleted. "
Tan Xiu nodded slowly and said, "A total of 200,000 scouts. Their daily consumption of resources is an astronomical figure. In addition, we have refined four types of precious pills, including the Primordial Dao Pill. The consumption of resources is indeed very high. Our sect's core members have now broken through 560 people. They had all broken through to the Soul Formation Stage with the help of the Small World, but the consumption of resources was indeed too fast. I don't think it'll be easy to hold out for even two years. "
Gu Yan 'er chuckled and said, "They are not the ones who consume the most resources. It's those 35,680 great demons who have transformed into human forms from intelligent plants. Who could have imagined that the deepest heritage of our Tang Sect is 35,680 great demons comparable to Celestial Immortals? "
Tan Xiu looked at Teng Nu in front of him and nodded. "More than 80% of the resources contained in the Small World have been consumed by them. But it's worth it. With these experts, we can occupy a territory in a short time once we ascend to the Immortal World in the future. Coupled with you, a Golden Core Stage expert, it's enough for us to gain a foothold in the Immortal World for the time being. "
"Have you made up your mind?" asked Gu Yan 'er. "When will you ascend to the Immortal World? When are we going to attack the Immortal World? "
Tan Xiu was silent for a while before he slowly shook his head and said, "It's not the time yet. Let's wait. Two years. It won't be more than two years before we all attack the Immortal World. Only there can our Tang Sect develop rapidly. It's also the only place we're very familiar with. There's only one thing I'm worried about now. "
"What are you worried about, Master?" asked Gu Yan 'er, puzzled. "Enemies?"
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Time. What I'm worried about is time. I left Earth for a year, but 10,000 years have passed in the Immortal World. It's been five years since I returned to Earth. If 50,000 years have passed in the Immortal World, I wonder if my enemies are still alive? Do I still have a chance to take revenge? "
"There's something you're mistaken about, Master," said Gu Yan 'er. "I don't know why you've been in the Immortal World for 10,000 years, but a year has passed on Earth. But I've studied the laws of space and time, so I'm very clear about the time flow in these two places. A year on Earth is about 100 years in the Immortal World. "
A year?
A hundred years?
Tan Xiu's eyes lit up and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?"
Gu Yan 'er firmly nodded and said, "I'm sure it's not wrong."
Tan Xiu frowned again and murmured, "Then why? I've been in the Immortal World for 10,000 years, but only a year has passed on Earth? "
"There are several possibilities, Master," said Gu Yan 'er after thinking for a while. "But I think the biggest possibility is that you encountered a time bubble when you entered the Immortal World."
Tan Xiu had never heard of this name. Looking at Gu Yan 'er's serious expression, he immediately asked, "What's a time bubble?"
"A time bubble is a unique space formed when time and space collide," explained Gu Yan 'er. "It's similar to a bubble in water. In some time bubbles, time can be reversed. In some time bubbles, time can be accelerated. In the past, when you sent a strand of your spiritual will into the Immortal World and attached itself to someone else's body, you might have encountered a time bubble. Moreover, it was a time bubble that caused time to flow backwards. "
After pondering for a long time, Tan Xiu silently nodded and said, "If your previous inference is correct, then one year on Earth is equivalent to one hundred years in the Immortal World. That's because my wisp of spiritual sense encountered a time bubble that caused time to flow backward. In five years, only five hundred years had passed in the Immortal World. Even if we go to the Immortal World in two years, only 700 years will have passed in the Immortal World. If that was the case, then my worries were unfounded. “
Gu Yan'er said with a smile, "Master, have you thought it through? After we reach the Immortal World, where do you plan to set up camp? "
"Hoary Head Galaxy."
A complicated look flashed across Tan Xiu's eyes as he spoke slowly.
Gu Yan'er stared blankly and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "That's the Immortal Lyceum's sphere of influence. Master, you …"
"I know it's the Immortal Lyceum's sphere of influence," said Tan Xiu slowly. "But it's located at the edge of the Immortal Lyceum's territory and far away from the Immortal Lyceum's Central Immortal Palace. I've been to a place called the Misty Spring Ocean. The entire Misty Spring Ocean is thousands of miles wide, with innumerable islands scattered like stars in the sky. The one who controls the Misty Spring Ocean is Profound Immortal Apotheon Mu. "
"Senior Brother Apotheon Mu?" exclaimed Gu Yan'er. "He … didn't he die in the hands of the Rakshasa Clan? How come … "
"I couldn't bear to watch him die, so I saved him in the end." Tan Xiu shook his head. "Unfortunately, his wife and children died tragically and his clansmen were slaughtered. After I helped him kill all his enemies, he was already disheartened and disappeared from the sight of countless powerhouses in the Immortal World. The Misty Spring Ocean is the place where he lives in seclusion. Aside from me, there are only three people who know about it. "
"Who else knows about it besides you?" asked Gu Yan'er hurriedly.
"Xue Qingcheng and Apotheosis Bella," Tan Xiu said two names.
Gu Yan'er thought for a while and then slowly said, "You're gambling, Master. Although I think I know Senior Brother Apotheon Mu, but … "
"I wouldn't have chosen that place if our Tang Sect only has a few people, even if we only have a few hundred people." Tan Xiu raised his hand. "But we have too many people. We'll soon be exposed if we don't have a hidden place to stay in the Immortal World with 200,000 to 300,000 people. I'm sure you know what kind of place the Immortal World is, Yan'er. Facing a formidable enemy, even if I'm gambling, it's much better than being directly discovered and then being slaughtered by powerful enemies. "
"I'll listen to you, Master," said Gu Yan'er.
Tan Xiu didn't speak again. After a long silence, he saw Teng Nu, who was sitting cross-legged, open her eyes and immediately asked, "How is it?"
Teng Nu got up and smilingly said, "I've broken through to the late-stage of Celestial Immortal, Sect Master. Although I don't know how strong a Profound Immortal is, I'm confident I can kill them if I encounter one."
Tan Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have more than 30,000 great demons and you have a deep heritage. When we arrive in the Immortal World, many of you will probably break through to the Profound Immortal Stage after some cultivation. Teng Nu, I have powerful enemies in the Immortal World. Any one of them can easily slaughter all of you even if you have more than 30,000 great demons. Therefore, you must keep a low profile and endure patiently. You must never expose your true identity. "
A scarlet light flashed in Teng Nu's eyes and she said, "Your enemy is also our enemy, Sect Master. You gave us a new life and gave us strength. Whether it's on this planet or in the Immortal World, you'll always be our Sect Master. "
Tan Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "I'm going to end my seclusion cultivation from now on. You're to stay in this exquisite pagoda and come out when we're going to the Immortal World. "
"Understood!"
Replied Teng Nu respectfully.
After leaving the exquisite pagoda, Tan Xiu and Gu Yan 'er came to Nine Dragons Island. Just as they stepped on the shore, more than a dozen experts of the Tang Sect spotted them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gu Xiaoxue, Tang Guang, and Tang An appeared in front of Tan Xiu and Gu Yan 'er and saluted.
"Where are my parents?" asked Tan Xiu.
"They're cultivating in the palace," answered Gu Xiaoxue.
Tan Xiu raised his brows and asked, "Tell me about their cultivation and the cultivation level of the Tang Family. Also, you've been managing the Tang Sect for the past three years, so tell me about the sect's current situation. "
