415: Chapter 417 The Primordial Time Tower!
If he were truly allowed to develop stealthily in a place like Shenfeng Realm for several thousand or even ten thousand years, relying on that "Strongest Sect Master System" of his, it really might have been possible for him to develop Taichu Dao Sect into a super power comparable to the Gu Clan.
By then, it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with him.
"It is a pity, but there is a fundamental conflict of interest between you and me. You are a Child of Luck, and I am a villain specialized in hunting down Children of Luck. We are natural enemies."
Gu Changsheng shook his head, casting these distracting thoughts out of his mind.
In his view, this Ling Hongzhi could be considered the easiest Child of Luck he had ever encountered.
From discovering the target to planning the operation, and finally harvesting, the entire process went smoothly, without encountering any decent resistance.
This was inseparable from his current status and position in the Immortal Realm.
When he was in the Lower Realm, although he was also a Saint, he was ultimately bound by various rules and always had to find some high-sounding excuses for his actions.
But in the Immortal Realm, the rules became more naked and cruel.
The strong can do whatever they want.
Hegemon-level powers like the Gu Clan can even ignore the vast majority of rules.
If he wants to kill someone or destroy a Sect, he doesn't need any reason at all.
If there's a disagreement, just crush them directly.
He enjoyed this feeling very much.
"However, although this was the easiest one to deal with, the harvest was the most bountiful one yet."
Gu Changsheng's thoughts stirred, and he pulled up his System interface.
Just then, the System's notification sound rang out again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host, for successfully devouring another System for the first time, triggering a super reward!]
[Rewards are being distributed...]
[Congratulations to the Host, obtained 5 million luck value!]
[Congratulations to the Host, obtained 1 Grandmist-level blind box draw ticket!]
Five million luck value!
A Grandmist-level blind box!
Seeing these two rewards, even with Gu Changsheng's Heart-Nature, his breathing couldn't help but quicken a little.
Adding the 3 million luck value plundered from Ling Hongzhi earlier, his total luck value had now reached an unprecedented, terrifying number... eight million!
"Eight million luck value... This time's reward is indeed bountiful beyond imagination."
Gu Changsheng quickly understood the reason.
Ling Hongzhi's System had huge potential; if left to develop, it might have been possible to create a super power in the future.
He had essentially strangled the nascent form of a super power capable of rivaling the Gu Clan in the cradle.
Based on this Karma, the System determined that he had obtained immense Heavenly Dao Luck, so rewarding such an amount of luck value was reasonable.
And that Grandmist-level blind box made his heart burn even more.
Grandmist-level, that was a legendary Rank!
What could possibly come out of this blind box?
He was already impatient.
"System, immediately use the Grandmist-level blind box draw ticket!" Gu Changsheng gave the order in his mind.
[Ding! Grandmist-level blind box draw ticket used successfully!]
[Extracting rewards...]
A ray of Grandmist purple light, brilliant to the extreme, exploded in his mind.
That light seemed to contain the supreme Dao Rhyme of the beginning of heaven and earth and the birth and destruction of the Universe.
[Congratulations to the Host! Obtained Grandmist-level supreme treasure, Grandmist Time Tower!]
[Grandmist Time Tower: Contains an independent time-space, can freely adjust the time flow rate relative to the outside world, up to 3000:1! Note: Cultivating inside the tower requires consuming massive amounts of Immortal Stones or equivalent resources to maintain operation.]
Three thousand times the time flow rate!
Seeing this introduction, Gu Changsheng was so excited he almost jumped up!
This was simply someone handing him a pillow just as he felt sleepy!
What was he lacking the most right now?
It wasn't Cultivation Technique; he had the Immortal-Rank "Primordial Immortal Scripture".
It wasn't resources; he had the backing of the Gu Clan and could mobilize massive amounts of Heaven And Earth Treasure.
What he lacked most was time!
He had been in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm for over a year, but his cultivation was still stuck at the early stage of Earth Immortal Realm, progressing slowly.
Every small Realm increase for an Immortal requires a long time to polish.
Although his talent was that of a Prodigy, cultivating step by step was still too slow.
And now, with this Grandmist Time Tower, all problems would be solved!
Three thousand times the time flow rate meant that for every year that passed in the outside world, he had already cultivated for three thousand years in the tower!
This was simply a Heaven-Defying cheat device!
"Truly, just as I felt sleepy, a pillow fell from the sky!"
Gu Changsheng was overjoyed.
"The System is upgrading and will take five hundred years. And I just happened to get this Time Tower. This is simply Heaven's will!"
He made a decision immediately.
"It seems it's time for a long period of seclusion."
Everything was ready; he just needed the east wind.
With Cultivation Technique, resources, and time all prepared, this was the perfect time for his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds!
"Earth Immortal Realm is still too weak. This time, I will not come out of seclusion until I break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!"
A glint of unprecedented intensity flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes.
He immediately passed down the order, informing the entire Ziwei Hall that he was going to undergo a deep seclusion for five hundred years, and no one was to disturb him, no matter what happened.
For Immortals, going into seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years was a common occurrence.
Therefore, his order did not cause any ripples in Ziwei Hall.
The entire massive Purple Mansion continued to operate efficiently and methodically under his will.
After making all these arrangements, Gu Changsheng impatiently entered the Grandmist Time Tower.
He began his first real long-term seclusion since ascending to the Immortal Realm.
...
Time passed, like a shuttle.
For the vast and boundless Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, five hundred years was but a fleeting moment, not even enough for a star to deviate from its original trajectory by even a fraction.
However, just as Gu Changsheng was in seclusion and the entire Eastern Star Domain was peaceful.
Countless Dao domains and Star Domains away from Shenwu World, in a supreme Immortal Court standing at the peak of the Nine Heavens, shrouded in endless Immortal light.
Inside a towering divine palace, a majestic man wearing Immortal King armor, with an aura as vast as an abyss.
Was respectfully kneeling before a supreme figure shrouded in Chaos airflow, listening to the divine decree.
"Qingyuan." The supreme figure issued a cold and majestic voice, a voice that seemed to be the Incarnation of Heavenly Dao.
"This subject is here!" The Immortal King named Qingyuan lowered his head even further.
He was the Vice Supervisor of the Grandmist Immortal Court, holding high power, and was an absolute confidant of the Immortal Court Empress before him.
"Take my decree and go to Shenwu World, to the Gu Clan Immortal City."
"Summon the Gu Clan's Ninth Young Lord, Gu Changsheng, to come to the Immortal Court for an audience."
Immortal King Qingyuan was shocked upon hearing this.
"This subject, obeys the decree!"
