Upgrade the Exquisite Pagoda!
That's right, this was the next step Ye Xuan intended to take.
After all, he knew very well that the Exquisite Pagoda was the foundation of his strength. While he himself was incredibly powerful, having subordinates who were equally formidable would undoubtedly make things easier and better for him in the future.
Moreover, the stronger he became, the more things he would have to protect, and the more exceptionally strong subordinates he would require. Therefore, upgrading the Exquisite Pagoda was imperative.
And this time, Ye Xuan wasn't just planning a minor upgrade.
With a flip of his right hand, millions of top-grade Immortal Crystals appeared before him.
Indeed!
It was millions of top-grade Immortal Crystals. Previously, Ye Xuan had used millions of mid-grade Immortal Crystals to increase the energy concentration within the Exquisite Pagoda to 200 times that of the outside world. Now, with millions of top-grade Immortal Crystals, no one knew to what extent the energy concentration within the pagoda would rise.
"Hoo!"
With a mere thought, the millions of top-grade Immortal Crystals were divided into ten waves and absorbed into the ten array eyes of the divine Spirit Gathering Array. The next moment, the entire Exquisite Pagoda trembled.
Boom!!!
Instantly, the energy concentration within the Exquisite Pagoda surged.
200 times!
230 times!
250 times! 280 times!!
In the blink of an eye, the energy concentration within the Exquisite Pagoda broke through 300 times. And as everyone watched in stunned silence, the energy concentration within the pagoda continued to climb as if it had no limits.
Ten breaths later, 350 times!
Thirty breaths later, 400 times!
Fifty breaths later, 450 times!!!
Finally, after eighty breaths, the energy concentration within the pagoda stabilized, reaching precisely 500 times.
Astonishingly.
The energy concentration within the Exquisite Pagoda had risen to a staggering 500 times. Everyone within the pagoda was dumbfounded. My heavens, 500 times the energy concentration.
And that wasn't all!
Just as everyone thought it was over, they clearly sensed that the flow of time had also changed. It was evident that as Ye Xuan entered the Immortal Elder realm, his control over space-time had also significantly increased.
The original 20-fold time flow had now surged to 30 times the time flow, an increase of ten times compared to the outside world.
This meant that, at this moment, the maximum cultivation speed on just the first level of the Exquisite Pagoda had reached an astonishing 15,000 times!
"Heh heh."
"500 times energy concentration, 30 times time flow, tsk tsk~~"
Ye Xuan also sighed with emotion. With this, he believed his forces would undoubtedly become powerhouses in the shortest possible time. After all, with the Exquisite Pagoda as such a powerful cheat, it was hard not to get stronger.
"In that case, it's time to open the fifth level of the Exquisite Pagoda."
Now that Ye Xuan had entered the Immortal Elder realm, he was naturally qualified to unlock the fifth level. Ye Xuan then flashed and arrived at the fifth level of the Exquisite Pagoda. This level clearly had a faster flow of time, as much as 480 times that of the outside world.
Buzz~
Not long after Ye Xuan arrived at the fifth level, a figure also appeared. This figure, as expected, was the Sky-Breaking Thunder King.
"Good heavens!"
Ye Xuan was also startled to see the Sky-Breaking Thunder King. "He came directly to the fifth level, meaning he has already entered the fifth stage of the Immortal Elder realm? Truly… enviable!"
"You brat…"
The Sky-Breaking Thunder King, sensing the anomaly in the Exquisite Pagoda, did not hide the shock in his eyes. Even in his previous life, he was only one step away from the Immortal Lord realm.
"Immortal Elder realm!"
"Cough, cough, truly jealous talent!!"
The Sky-Breaking Thunder King pursed his lips and then sensed the time flow and energy concentration around him. "480 times time flow, plus 500 times energy concentration. If that's the case, the maximum cultivation speed here reaches a staggering 240,000 times!?"
"I'm truly curious, what exactly is this Exquisite Pagoda? It's too terrifying!!"
Even in his previous life, the densest cultivation concentration the Sky-Breaking Thunder King had experienced was no more than a hundredfold. As for time flow, although it existed, such rare existences would not be found in ordinary sects. He had once been fortunate enough to enter a secret realm where the time flow was tenfold, making it only a little over a thousand times the outside world.
This meant that even compared to the fastest cultivation speed in his previous life, this place was 240 times stronger, which was simply unbelievable!!
"Hm!?"
As the Sky-Breaking Thunder King was stunned, his aura strengthened. He had already entered the fifth stage of the Immortal Elder realm, but under the changes in the Exquisite Pagoda, he had inexplicably advanced to the sixth stage of the Immortal Elder realm.
Ye Xuan: "........."
"Cough, cough, senior, may I ask what your current realm is?"
It was clear that Ye Xuan's envy had intensified. To be able to get stronger at such a speed, it was natural for him to be envious, even though the Sky-Breaking Thunder King was in recovery.
"Thanks to you, I just entered the sixth stage of the Immortal Elder realm."
The Sky-Breaking Thunder King then sensed the fluctuations in Ye Xuan's realm. "However, in such a short time, you have indeed reached the peak of the second stage of the Immortal Elder realm."
"At this speed, I'm afraid you'll soon catch up to me after I recover my strength."
"I truly look forward to how far you will grow in the future!"
The Sky-Breaking Thunder King looked at Ye Xuan with burning eyes. To witness the rise of a super powerhouse was also a fortunate event.
"You flatter me, senior."
"I'm probably no match for you yet."
Ye Xuan said these words "boastfully," while the Sky-Breaking Thunder King gave a bitter smile. This brat was actually comparing himself to him. Did he not know how envious he was?
"However..."
As Ye Xuan thought of this, he flipped his right hand, and the God-Slaying Thunder Spear appeared in his hand. At this moment, the God-Slaying Thunder Spear had also undergone a qualitative change, its single-target combat power alone was enough to contend with a ninth-stage Immortal. With this enhancement, Ye Xuan further activated his Divine Thunder bloodline to its extreme, with the power of time attached to it. Crackle!
Terrifying lightning permeated the void!
"Senior, be careful!!"
Without a word, Ye Xuan decisively attacked the Sky-Breaking Thunder King. With this move, if outsiders knew, their jaws would drop. Damn it, such a move would likely level the entire Ten Thousand Sword Holy Land!
Boom!!!
With a single strike, the entire arena became intensely hot. Ye Xuan was instantly sent flying hundreds of feet away. As the fiery glow dissipated, the Sky-Breaking Thunder King remained composed, not even a wrinkle on his clothes. What was even more infuriating was that.
The Sky-Breaking Thunder King directly extended a finger, which made Ye Xuan feel like spitting out blood!
Damn it!
The Sky-Breaking Thunder King was already this strong now!!
The Sky-Breaking Thunder King put down his finger and sensed the attack power. "Good kid, that strike should be your limit, shouldn't it? If a fifth-stage Immortal Elder were careless, they might fall for your trap."
"Tsk tsk, truly terrifying heaven-defying combat power~~"
The two continued to envy each other in this strange manner. At this moment, it was undeniable that all the members of the Hao Tian Immortal Kingdom were mere dregs in front of Ye Xuan. However, Ye Xuan then flipped his right hand, and a drop of golden essence blood appeared in his hand. "Senior, consider this drop of essence blood a congratulatory gift from me for your advancement to the sixth stage of the Immortal Elder realm."
