289: The treasure that accelerates time, Hunyuan Tower!

Lu Hao thought to himself, "I doubt even the entire Xuantian Ancient Realm has as many Top-Grade Spirit Stones as I do."

However, there was a limit to the concentration of Spiritual Qi, so burying a few thousand was about enough.

Then, Lu Hao followed the same procedure, adding many treasures to assist in Cultivation. Since everyone's Realm was quite high, Lu Hao increased the dosage!

[Ding, the host's total points have been drawn. Please check, Host!]

The System's voice echoed in Lu Hao's mind, and he asked, "System, is there any Magic Treasure that can accelerate time?"

[Host, there is. In this lottery, on the 507,832nd draw, you obtained a time-type Magic Treasure: the Hunyuan Pagoda!]

"Hunyuan Pagoda? Take it out and let me see."

[Very well, Host.]

Soon, a snow-white nine-story ancient pagoda appeared before Lu Hao. The ancient pagoda looked extremely exquisite, with countless runes engraved on it that Lu Hao could not understand at all.

On the nine-story ancient pagoda, besides the runes, there was a faint trace of the essence of time flowing. Lu Hao found it quite difficult to sense, able to glimpse only a fraction of its true nature.

But he was certain that this must be related to time.

"Mu Siyuan."

"Master, what is it?"

"Enter this Magic Treasure and take a look."

Without a word, Mu Siyuan dove straight into the nine-story ancient pagoda.

Soon, his figure reappeared before everyone, and his face wore a look of utter shock!

"Master! This... this ancient pagoda can accelerate time! The flow of time inside is ten times faster than outside! That means one day outside is ten days inside!"

"I have heard of such Magic Treasures in my past life, but I have never seen one with my own eyes."

"Oh? Only a tenfold acceleration?" Lu Hao was slightly dissatisfied.

He reached out and grabbed a large handful of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, numbering in the tens of thousands, tossed them all into the pagoda, and then channeled his cultivation to activate it.

Suddenly, the ancient pagoda emitted a strong white light. The essence of time surrounding it became increasingly intense, giving people a hazy, disoriented feeling.

"Siyuan, go back in and feel it. I will keep increasing the activation intensity. Try to sense the limit of its time acceleration!"

"Understood!" Mu Siyuan turned into a streak of light and dove into the ancient pagoda once more.

Outside, Lu Hao continuously tossed in Top-Grade Spirit Stones while channeling his cultivation to drive the ancient pagoda.

After a while, Lu Hao's face turned slightly pale, so he stopped.

Mu Siyuan, who was inside, felt a time flow of several dozen times faster the moment he entered. He was incredibly shocked—could this Magic Treasure actually accelerate time to such a degree?

But soon, as Lu Hao activated it from the outside, the flow of time inside became faster and faster! One hundred times! Two hundred times! Five hundred times! Eight hundred times! One thousand times!!!

Eventually, when the time flow reached one thousand times, Mu Siyuan felt the ancient pagoda's operation slowly begin to lag.

He climbed out of the ancient pagoda. After standing still, he took a long, deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart and said to Lu Hao, "Master... the limit of the time flow inside is one thousand times!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around was shocked beyond measure! A thousandfold time flow? Wouldn't that mean one year of Cultivation inside would be equivalent to one thousand years outside? This was too terrifying!

Even Lu Hao felt somewhat surprised. If he could maintain a thousandfold flow, wouldn't he be able to achieve Immortal Ascension in just a few years?

"Master, I also noticed something else." "The time flow of this ancient pagoda should be determined by the Cultivation of the person inside. The higher the Cultivation, the greater the consumption required to maintain the thousandfold flow. If someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage were to enter, perhaps a single Top-Grade Spirit Stone would be enough for them to Cultivate for a long time."

"If we maintain the thousandfold flow constantly, the consumption will likely be an astronomical figure..."

Lu Hao had also thought of this. In just that short period, he had already consumed one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. If this continued, that small mountain of Spirit Stones probably wouldn't last long...

Forget it, he should just let them Cultivate. He would keep the multiplier at one hundred times; that should be enough. The higher the multiplier, the more the consumption increased geometrically; too high, and it would be counterproductive.

"All of you, go in and Cultivate. Without my orders, do not come out." "Yes!"

Everyone was very excited. As soon as Lu Hao finished speaking, they rushed directly into the ancient pagoda. Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox, who had entered the room earlier, also quickly rushed out and slipped into the Hunyuan Pagoda in a flash.

Finally, only Lu Hao, Tianqiong Daoist, and Lan Xiaoying remained outside. Lu Hao looked at Lan Xiaoying and asked in confusion, "Little Cherry, aren't you going in to Cultivate?"

Lan Xiaoying smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Lu, I won't go. Cultivating outside is the same for me. I don't really care about these Dao cultivation Realms; they don't hold much meaning for me."

"If not for Brother Lu, I probably wouldn't even have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now that I am a Void Refining expert, Little Cherry is very content. I just want to prepare every meal well for Brother Lu." "If I went in to Cultivate, wouldn't Brother Lu have to cook for himself when he wants to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Hao smiled and said, "Little Cherry, don't feel like you owe me anything. We contribute equally."

"How about this: you go in and Cultivate. I will allow you to enter and exit the Hunyuan Pagoda at any time, how about that?"

Hearing this, a look of surprise instantly bloomed on Lan Xiaoying's face. After all, who wouldn't want to accelerate their Cultivation progress?

Inside her body was still the massive amount of energy that Lu Hao had Sealed for her. After more than a year, she had only absorbed nearly one ten-thousandth of it. If she could accelerate her Cultivation within the Hunyuan Pagoda, her progress would likely not be much slower than the others!

Lan Xiaoying said happily, "Really?! That's great, thank you, Brother Lu!"

After saying this, Lan Xiaoying's figure turned into a blue streak of light, rushing into the Hunyuan Pagoda to Cultivate with the others.

Lu Hao looked at the empty residence, waved his right hand slightly to collect the Hunyuan Pagoda into his room, and concealed the fluctuations emanating from it.

At this moment, only Tianqiong Daoist remained by his side. He looked at Lu Hao, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior Lu, what should we do next?"

Lu Hao looked at Tianqiong Daoist, smiled faintly, and said, "Let's go. Wherever that Changsun Jingwu is, we will go find him and take our revenge now."
