CHAPTER 706: CHAPTER 302: JOY FOR SOME, SORROW FOR OTHERS, LII XIAOLAN’S STRATEGY

Upon hearing the White-forehead Qilin Bai E say that he would understand once he left the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage with him, Lin Xuankong nodded thoughtfully.

「A cup of tea’s time passed.」

As he and the White-forehead Qilin Bai E stepped out of the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage and arrived above the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Lin Xuankong looked towards the sky there, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

The White-forehead Qilin Bai E laughed and said, "It seems Mr. Mu has already discovered!"

At this moment, the sky above the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was still brightly lit by the high sun, and many Earth Immortals were still gathered beneath the Immortal Carriage.

According to Lin Xuankong’s perception inside the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage, nearly three traditional Hours had passed, a duration equivalent to about six standard hours. Normally, after such a long time, the sun above the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect should have already set; it should have been nighttime!

Yet, outside the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage, it seemed as though only the time it takes to drink a cup or two of tea had passed!

This indicates that the flow of time inside and outside the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage is completely different, Lin Xuankong realized. Time inside is indeed passing much, much faster!

This sensation of two worlds with entirely different rates of time flow was quite magical. It made Lin Xuankong recall the story of the ’Rotten Axe Handle’ and the mythical tales of ’a day on Earth, a year in Heaven’ that he had heard about during his time on Earth.

Unexpectedly, he had now personally experienced such a mythical phenomenon. Lin Xuankong could not help but sigh, "When we were inside the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage, did Immortal Lord Luoshui activate the time flow effect of the Immortal Carriage Celestial Cave Array? I didn’t notice any change at all within the world of the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage at that time!"

The White-forehead Qilin Bai E proudly shifted its two front hooves and laughed. "Our Luo Water Immortal Sect’s Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage was refined by our Old Ancestor over ten thousand years. He utilized all the Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts that the Luo Water Immortal Sect could gather at the time—a total of three hundred and sixty Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts—to lay down the Third Layer of the Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array!

"This Immortal Carriage Celestial Cave Array, formed by these three hundred and sixty Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, allows any Earth Immortal controlling it to easily suppress an opponent at the Eighth-Grade Earth Immortal Realm. It also enables the controller to contend with powerful adversaries at the Ninth Grade Realm. Most importantly, it can activate a twenty-four-fold Time Flow Speed!

"Although activating such a time flow effect consumes vast amounts of Immortal Yuan and various materials, only our Luo Water Immortal Sect’s Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage in the entire Immortal Realm can achieve this!

"For tens of thousands of years, the Immortal Lords and Ninth-Grade Earth Immortals from preeminent Immortal Sects—such as the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect of Central Divine Dynasty Central Earth, the Guangqing Immortal Sect, and the Youluo Immortal Sect—have frequently visited our Luo Water Immortal Sect. They spend vast amounts of Profound Truth Jade and materials, requesting our Patriarch and the Elders of the Luo Water Immortal Sect to activate this time flow effect of the Immortal Carriage Celestial Cave Array for them!"

At this point, the eyes of this Sixth Grade Spiritual Beast Qilin were filled with immense pride.

"In recent millennia, the Immortal Lords of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, Guangqing Immortal Sect, and Youluo Immortal Sect have repeatedly scoured for Immortal Artifacts, hoping our Patriarch would help their respective Immortal Sects set up the Third Layer of the Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array!

"However, even though Central Divine Dynasty Central Earth boasts numerous Immortal Sects and a great many Artifact Refining Masters, when our Luo Water Immortal Sect initially set up this Third Layer of the Immortal Carriage Celestial Cave Array, we utilized most of the Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts available in Central Earth. As for the Immortal Lords of these other sects who wish for our Patriarch to help them arrange the Third Layer of the Immortal Carriage Cave Heaven, they will likely need to wait many years to gather enough Immortal Artifacts!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong’s heart couldn’t help but stir.

According to this White-forehead Qilin Bai E, an array formed by three hundred and sixty Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts—the Third Layer of the Immortal Carriage Celestial Cave Array—can achieve a twenty-four-fold time flow effect! he mused. If I have the opportunity to observe the Luo Water Divine Diagram and learn the Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array, what kind of effect would it produce if, in the future, I were to use tens of thousands of Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts to set up a Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array?

Three hundred and sixty Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts compared to tens of thousands... that would surely result in a time flow speed several hundred times faster! In that case, it might genuinely be possible to achieve the legendary ’one day outside, three hundred and sixty-five days inside,’ making true myth a reality!

After indulging in these grand speculations, Lin Xuankong suppressed his excitement and thought to himself, To achieve any of this, I must first persuade Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu to grant me the opportunity to observe the Luo Water Divine Diagram. Ideally, she might even impart some of the insights from her thousands of years of array research. Only then would my Array Mastery have a chance to advance rapidly!

Otherwise, even if I managed to convince Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu and gain the chance to observe the Luo Water Divine Diagram, it would still take many years to study the Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array to the level of its Third Layer. After all, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, as the Immortal Realm’s peerless genius in arrays, also studied for several thousand years to reach the Third Layer of the Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array!

Unless... unless I could somehow get Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu to call me ’husband’?

The moment this thought surfaced, Lin Xuankong instantly shook his head.

That idea is out of the question! Completely out of the question!

She is a supreme expert at the peak of Ninth Grade Perfection, a top-tier Immortal Lord among the many such experts in the Central Divine Dynasty. For such an Immortal Lord to speak to me kindly is already a sign of her high regard. If I dared to speak recklessly, let alone try to make Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu call me ’husband,’ and if this Immortal Lord thought I was taking liberties with her and, in her anger, decided to strike...
