553: Chapter 553 The Reward from the Cosmic Cloud Company!
Bounty Order?
This made Li Fan a little surprised.
It had been quite some time since he had heard this term.
However, after thinking for a moment,
he could quite easily understand it.
Previously, at the grand gathering, he had annihilated quite a few prodigies from the Alien Universe.
It was quite reasonable for the other side to place a bounty on him.
However, he didn't really take this bounty order to heart.
Those who wished to come for him to claim the bounty likely wouldn't have the fate to bring him back to claim the reward.
One comes, he kills one!
If a group comes, he can kill a group!
"I understand. I will keep an eye out for that."
Li Fan looked towards Tai Fang at this moment and replied slowly.
Seeing Li Fan so calm, Tai Fang felt a bit surprised.
It seemed Li Fan was still very confident!
Li Fan's gains from heading to the Sea of Life this time seemed to be much greater than he had imagined!
"Mm."
"The second matter is good news, arranged by the higher-ups."
"There is less than a month and a half left before departing for the Cosmic Abyss. As a key cultivation target among the younger generation this time,"
"the company's higher management has decided to grant you access to a customized cloud cultivation pod."
Tai Fang mentioned the second matter at this point.
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Fan's brow instantly furrowed.
He certainly knew what a cloud cultivation pod was.
He had used one before when he was at the Universe Level.
But he remembered that the cloud cultivation pod seemed to have quite a few restrictions; at least, it seemed inconvenient for him to use it in the short term.
Tai Fang had clearly noticed Li Fan's concern and said with a smile:
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry."
"This is different from the conventional cloud cultivation pod. It was forged by several Venerables among the higher-ups using profound methods, and the side effects have been minimized."
"Since you cultivate the Great Dao of Time, you only need to circulate it slightly to completely offset the residual side effects."
Hearing this, Li Fan's eyes lit up involuntarily.
So that was how it was.
If that were the case, didn't that mean he could even try to comprehend the second strand of Law Power of Time?!
"However, don't be happy too soon. The power of this special cloud cultivation pod is not high."
"You can stay in this cloud cultivation pod for a month and a half, but the longest time axis inside is one year. That is, for every month and a half that passes in the outside world, you will only experience at most one year inside."
"This is also for safety considerations. If the time axis is too long, the side effects might not be offset as much."
Seeing that Li Fan seemed overly excited, Tai Fang immediately threw a bucket of cold water on him.
"One year?"
Li Fan frowned again.
This amount of time was indeed somewhat disappointing to Li Fan.
He had thought he might get three or four years, just like last time.
If he had three or four years, let alone comprehending the second strand of Law Power of Time,
he could even break through to the Realm Master Level!
However, looking at it another way, quite a lot could still be accomplished in one year.
One must be content.
"I understand."
"Thank you for the company's care!"
Li Fan immediately cupped his hands and expressed his gratitude to Tai Fang and the Company.
Seeing Li Fan act this way, Tai Fang couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.
"Mm, although one year is not much time, compared to the other Students, it is already a very rare opportunity. You must seize it well."
"If you have nothing else to do, let's not delay. I can take you there now. If you have matters to attend to, I will come find you after you have handled them."
Li Fan clearly had nothing else to deal with.
"I have nothing to take care of. I can depart now!"
...
Along the way,
the two chatted.
During their conversation,
Li Fan also gained some understanding of the current situation of the prodigies across the entire Great Universe and the Alien Universe.
The prodigies of the two Great Universes were currently striving with all their might to improve themselves.
On the surface, both Great Universes seemed preoccupied with their respective Realm Master Level gatherings, but in reality, undercurrents were surging within both factions.
The prelude to an all-out war would officially begin not long from now!
And shortly after,
following Tai Fang, Li Fan soon arrived at a star above the headquarters' center and saw that special cloud cultivation pod.
This cloud cultivation pod was actually not much different from the one Li Fan had used before.
If one had to point out a significant difference, it was that the color of the vortex at the entrance had turned into a strange purple.
"Alright, we're here. Go inside."
"It's similar to before. If the one year inside is up, you will be automatically teleported out. Be mindful of how you allocate your time,"
Tai Fang brought Li Fan to the entrance and reminded him.
Li Fan nodded, then stepped inside almost without hesitation.
Upon entering,
Li Fan immediately took out that time law stone and the divine enlightenment pearl.
During this year,
he planned to focus on only two things!
The first was this second strand of Law Power of Time!
The second was cultivation!
He wanted to bring his condition to its peak before heading to the Cosmic Abyss!
...
On the other side,
deep within the Cosmic Cloud Headquarters,
several voices sounded slowly.
"Li Fan has gone to the cloud cultivation pod. Perhaps after he emerges, his strength will undergo another major transformation!"
"Mm, this Li Fan is truly excellent. No wonder Jiu Lu valued him so highly before, even personally going to find fragments of the great luo celestial disk for him."
"Speaking of Jiu Lu, he seems to have gone to the Cosmic Sea, right? Things over there are currently tense and volatile. If he's not careful, trouble might break out. I hope he doesn't mess around."
"There's no need to worry about that. Jiu Lu is quite trustworthy when it comes to the big picture. It's just that this trip of his will likely be in vain. Setting aside whether there are any fragments in the Cosmic Sea, even if there were, the difficulty of finding a single fragment in the vast Cosmic Sea is too high."
"Alright, let's talk about the Tiancheng Defense Line. Whether it's the Pure Land Zone or the Holy Spirit Zone that these juniors are going to, they are only secondary locations in the grand scheme of things.
The main battlefield must be brought back to the Tiancheng Defense Line. According to reports from the front lines, the fighting there is becoming increasingly fierce. Among the Alien Universe faction, several Venerables are showing signs of making a move. We must prepare in advance..."
"Oh, there's also a rumor I should mention, concerning the so-called path of eternity. This matter is not yet confirmed, and it's likely false, but it's worth paying attention to."
The speakers were all core high-level members of the Cosmic Cloud Company.
The secrets they learned far surpassed those of the outside world.
The situation in the Cosmic Abyss was far more grim than most people imagined.
At the same time,
they had also heard some vague rumors.
That is, the path of eternity.
This could actually be inferred from the literal meaning of the name.
It was related to the Eternal Being.
However, currently, this rumor was just a rumor and not confirmed; it might very well be some smokescreen released by the Alien Universe, or perhaps a misjudgment by their own great powers over in the Cosmic Abyss.
