11: "A Glance for a Thousand Years"

In reality, Su Chen already possessed a cultivation of True Essence Realm Fourth Heaven, with powerful combat prowess, capable of defeating ordinary True Essence Realm Fifth Heaven experts.

Even though Li Yuanbao was three minor Realms higher than him, he lacked combat experience, making it extremely difficult to defeat Su Chen.

However, this guy feigned weakness to ambush him, fully unleashing his power when Su Chen was careless, defeating him in one move.

Although it was somewhat an unfair victory, a win was still a win.

Su Chen's defeat was due to his own underestimation of the enemy, and he couldn't blame others.

Moreover, Li Yuanbao's cultivation of True Essence Realm Seventh Heaven was real and solid; he was younger than Su Chen but three minor Realms higher.

In the eyes of others, it was only natural for someone three minor Realms higher to be stronger than him.

For a time, Li Yuanbao's name resounded throughout the city.

The title of Great Jin's number one Genius also changed hands.

This was because the vast majority of people still didn't know that the person who captured Hu Elder that day was Wu Ning.

Xu Ziqian's cultivation was even higher than Li Yuanbao's, but he was a cunning old fox; not only did he not expose his cultivation, he also specially learned a secret technique to conceal his Realm.

Li Yuanbao disdained this but then secretly learned a similar secret technique.

He wanted to develop cautiously like the Crown Prince, and then amaze everyone.

These two guys would visit Prince Yan's Mansion every now and then, but Wu Ning had been in seclusion and had no time to deal with them.

...

This morning.

A clear Sword Cry resounded through the sky, like an peerless divine sword unsheathing.

In an instant, the winds and clouds changed color, and billions of Sword Qi appeared, reaching the heavens and earth, turning the capital into a sea of Sword Qi in an instant.

The entire city was terrified!

Fortunately, these Sword Qi did not carry any Killing Intent.

They came quickly and left quickly, dissipating between heaven and earth in just a brief moment.

"Finally refined!"

Wu Ning held the Tai'a Emperor Sword, its Seal already broken. He felt the terrifying power contained within the Emperor Sword and felt that his more than two months had not been in vain.

With this Sword in hand, he could even fight a Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection expert!

However, he still felt a bit uneasy. A sword is an offensive weapon.

He still needed to refine at least one defensive Emperor Armament to be relatively safe.

No, one is not enough.

At least two are needed.

One Emperor Armament to defend the Physical Body, and one to defend the Soul.

Wu Ning put away the Tai'a Emperor Sword, then opened his personal panel:

[Name: Wu Ning]

[Cultivation: Venerable Nine Heavens Perfection (Supreme)]

[Physique: Years Divine Physique]

[Cultivation Technique: "Supreme Scripture" (First Layer), "Refining Heaven Ancient Scripture" (First Layer)]

[Divine Ability: None]

[Weapon: Tai'a Emperor Sword]

[Supreme Treasure: black leather book]

[Remaining Sign-in Attempts: 66]

...

Over the past two months, Wu Ning occasionally consumed some Heaven And Earth Treasure, and his cultivation had unknowingly grown to Venerable Nine Heavens Perfection, not far from the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

However, for him, the more important thing was the number of sign-in attempts.

A total of 66 times, which he had accumulated over two months.

Wu Ning became excited; it was time to sign in again.

"System, let's do three daily sign-ins first."

[Ding, sign-in successful, congratulations to Host for obtaining 100 million Top-Grade Spirit Stone.]

[Ding, sign-in successful, congratulations to Host for obtaining a Saint Medicine—Phoenix Blood Grass.]

[Ding, sign-in successful, congratulations to Host for obtaining one thousand years of cultivation.]

"One thousand years of cultivation, my luck isn't bad." Wu Ning hesitated for a moment, then prepared to do another monthly sign-in.

"System, one monthly sign-in!"

[Ding, sign-in successful, congratulations to Host for obtaining the Time Divine Ability "One Glance, Ten Thousand Years." Would you like to Cultivate it?]

"Time Divine Ability?"

Wu Ning's eyes lit up, and he immediately checked the detailed information of this Divine Ability.

"One Glance, Ten Thousand Years" is a time-based Divine Ability, and also a powerful eye technique.

Wherever the gaze falls, time flows rapidly.

It has five levels: Entry, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Peak, and Perfection, corresponding to one glance one year, one glance ten years, one glance one hundred years, one glance one thousand years, and one glance ten thousand years.

This "one glance" is not an instant, but roughly one second.

Cultivating to Perfection, in just one second, it can make time rapidly flow for ten thousand years!

If someone is locked by the gaze, they will be stripped of ten thousand years of Lifespan in just one second!

It's equivalent to killing with a gaze, truly terrifying!

"System, begin Cultivating "One Glance, Ten Thousand Years"!"

After reading the detailed information, Wu Ning immediately shouted.

[Ding, Cultivating in progress...]

The next moment, a massive amount of information flooded into Wu Ning's mind. Even with his current cultivation, receiving it was still very taxing.

Approximately an hour later.

[Ding, congratulations to Host, "One Glance, Ten Thousand Years" has been Cultivated to Major Achievement.]

Wu Ning stopped Cultivating. With his current cultivation, he could only Cultivate to the third level, "One Glance, One Hundred Years."

However, as long as he improved his cultivation, he could quickly Cultivate it to Peak, or even Perfection.

The Divine Ability Cultivation Technique obtained through System sign-in did not require him to spend a long time slowly comprehending it.

Wu Ning's figure flashed, instantly disappearing from the room, and the next moment he appeared on a large mountain near the capital city.

He planned to test the effect of "One Glance, Ten Thousand Years."

His gaze swept around, and he selected a tree as thick as a hug, then caught an ordinary wild rabbit and a third-order tiger demon, tied them to the tree, and placed a few Spirit Medicine under the tree.

After doing all this, he began to cast "One Glance, Ten Thousand Years."

Countless golden runes instantly flashed in his pupils, and a subtle and miraculous change quietly occurred in the area covered by his sight.

Leaves withered.

The weeds on the ground died instantly.

The wild rabbit also died quickly.

The tiger demon let out a terrified roar.

One second later.

The big tree became bare, completely dead, the ground beneath it barren, and only a bit of black grime remained of the wild rabbit's remains.

The two Spirit Medicine also withered and died.

Two seconds later.

The big tree turned into a dry, rotten piece of wood.

Three seconds later.

The tiger demon also died, quickly turning into a skeleton.

All the Spirit Medicine had completely withered and died.

Ten seconds later.

The tiger demon's skeleton had already turned to dust.

Within a few meters, there was no longer any life, turning into a dead land.

Thirty-two seconds later.

The land became like a desert.

Only a section of decayed, unrecognizable deadwood remained in place.

Wu Ning deactivated the Divine Ability and rubbed his somewhat tired eyes.

With the enhancement of the Years Divine Physique, he could continuously cast it for thirty-two seconds, far exceeding his initial expectations.

Under the Divine Ability's shroud, all living beings stopped growing and would not continue to strengthen. This was not just simply accelerating time; the area covered by his sight was not accelerated to three thousand years later.

This was more like a power of years!

Its current use wasn't very significant, but for Cultivators whose Lifespan was nearing its end, it was definitely a great killing move!

Moreover, killing with a gaze, just thinking about it was awesome!

Wu Ning returned to Prince Yan's Mansion with satisfaction.

He still had 33 sign-in opportunities left. He thought for a moment and decided to use one more monthly sign-in.

[Ding, sign-in successful, congratulations to Host for obtaining a bodhi seed!]

"bodhi seed?"

Wu Ning immediately checked the detailed information. This bodhi seed was an Immortal Medicine. Direct consumption could improve Comprehension Ability and suppress Heart Demon.

Furthermore, it could be used as the main ingredient to refine an Immortal Rank Medicinal Pill called Bodhi Dao Comprehension Pill, which increases the success rate of a Great Emperor Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm.

At least thirty percent!

"Good stuff!"

Wu Ning's eyes lit up. He directly took the bodhi seed out of the System space. It was emerald green, the size of a cat's eye, like a crystal clear jade, emitting a mysterious Dao charm throughout its body.

Just holding it in his hand, he felt a coolness in his mind, and his state of mind seemed to have been sublimated.

Refining Medicinal Pills was too troublesome; it not only required collecting medicinal ingredients but also knowing how to refine Immortal Pill.

Wu Ning planned to consume it directly.

It just so happened that he could use this to Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
