Chapter 91: Five Years

The Evil King acted swiftly and decisively. He suppressed any dissatisfaction and reorganized the evil imperial court, finally regaining the dignity of an evil king.

What made the countless heretic cultivators unhappy was that the Evil King had actually introduced a series of laws that placed many restrictions on the heretic cultivators.

There were too many rules and regulations, to the point that it was even stricter and more restrictive than the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty.

It was simply ridiculous!

They were heretic cultivators, so why was there a need for so many laws?

However, the old evil king also supported it, which caused many of the upper echelons of the evil imperial court to think that the old evil king and the Evil King had both lost their minds.

They wanted to look for the little evil king to persuade those two, but the little evil king had already left the evil imperial court.

As such, they could only bear with it.

Perhaps when the Evil King's anger subsided, the laws and regulations would be repealed.

If there were people who opposed the new law of the evil imperial court, there would also naturally be people who supported it. For example, those who were at the bottom rungs and weaker cultivators.

Under the new laws, they would be able to obtain more protection and have more opportunities to cultivate and rise up.

Chu Xuan had only casually asked the Evil King to reorganize the evil imperial court. As for how that objective was accomplished, he did not care.

In this world where the strong reigned supreme, there were not many good laws. Most kingdoms only promulgated some simple rules, and those laws rarely protected or safeguarded the welfare of the weak.

However, even if they did, there would always be experts who would disregard the rules and kill the weak anyway.

The law enforcers would usually turn a blind eye and would not offend the strong for the sake of the weak.

If even the Great Qian Dynasty was like this, what more the evil imperial court?

The evil imperial court's new laws made many factions wonder if there was something wrong with the Evil King's head.

He was an heretic cultivator, yet he had created such strict laws to protect the weak and even set up a law enforcement team.

His sense of justice was even stronger than the righteous path.

His benevolent and wise actions seemed unbecoming of an evil king.

If these new laws were strictly implemented, the evil imperial court would not be evil anymore, it would be fair and just.

Compared to them, the Great Qian Dynasty now looked to be the evil ones.

The Southern Region regained its peace, and there were no conflicts between the major factions.

The only place that was not peaceful was the evil imperial court, which had pushed forward many new laws. Many heretic cultivators who were not used to the new laws felt the heat.

Many of them were imprisoned, and they secretly wondered if they were in an evil kingdom or a just one.

1

Chu Xuan had originally thought that the Great Qian Dynasty would send people to the Chu family to control the Chu family for their own use, turning them into a thorn in the Great Qin Dynasty's side.

In the end though, the Great Qian Dynasty did not send anyone.

Ever since Qin Keyun had led the Great Qin Dynasty to rise up, the Southern Region had undergone a massive power restructuring and, after a short period of turmoil, it returned to a peaceful state.

Chu Xuan knew that the various factions were all waiting for the Asura Ancient Land to open.

As for the Great Qin Dynasty, it was busy absorbing whatever resources it could find to rapidly develop its foundation and strength.

The Chu family was also cultivating in a low-profile manner, and each and every one of them was trying their best to increase their strength, wanting to catch up to the other three families.

Chu Xuan raised his head. The light in his eyes gleamed as the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region continued to recover.

As the laws were restored, the cultivation speed of the Southern Region's cultivators also gradually increased.

Time flew by. Soon, the five-year milestone had arrived.

Chu Xuan's cultivation had already risen to the fourth level of the Supreme realm.

The strength of his two pets had increased very quickly as well. The Heavenly Spirit Cat reached the fifth level of the Emperor realm and the Sky-shaking Golden Roc reached the ninth level Emperor realm.

After the Spirit Devouring Flower swallowed the devilish blood energy from the blood spirit pearl, it underwent a transformation, and its strength was now equivalent to the sixth-level Emperor realm cultivator.

Ding Yue was indeed worthy of being the fated person of the current generation of the Southern Region. Moreover, his terrifying talent in the Sword Dao was further complemented by his Heaven's Will Sword Pulse. His cultivation had already reached the third level of the void realm.

It had only taken him less than two years to advance from the first level of the spirit realm to the third level of the void realm.

Moreover, given the sword technique that Ding Yue cultivated, it was not a problem for him to cross realms and battle cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of the void realm.

Presently, Ding Yue had already broken through the first stage of the way of the sword and forgotten all about his sweetheart.

He no longer missed his childhood sweetheart.

Anyone who thought ill of a person every day, blaming her for his predicament and heaping all sorts of insults on her, was bound to gradually loathe her, stop liking her, and then forget about her. He could now concentrate on the Sword Dao.

At this moment, when he started cultivating the Sword Dao seriously, Ding Yue realized that pining for a woman truly distracted him from cultivating.

He increasingly felt that what his master said was true.

Ding Yue was currently trying to overcome the second stage of the way of the sword, so that he would not be distracted by beautiful women and would only have the soul of the sword in his heart.

However, even up till now, he was still unable to overcome this stage.

When Chu Yun came to the small courtyard, he would take a few glances at her. He clearly did not have any other thoughts in his heart, but he would always subconsciously look at her.

This was especially so when Su Xian'er was with Chu Yun. He would subconsciously look over.

This stage was too difficult!

It was difficult to not be disturbed by external things!

Ding Yue's gaze was resolute. He would definitely overcome this test.

Apart from teaching Ding Yue the Sword Dao, Chu Xuan also taught him concealment techniques. Concealing one's cultivation was, after all, a necessary skill.

He also taught the Immovable Mountain Technique to Ding Yue.

The sword manual he provided to Ding Yue also included cultivation techniques for one's soul. As such, Chu Xuan did not teach him any other soul techniques.

One should not bite off more than he could chew.

Moreover, Ding Yue's terrifying talent was all focused on the way of the sword. In terms of his aptitude for other secret arts, his cultivation was much slower.

Su Xian'er's cultivation speed was also extremely fast. She had the Grand Moon Mystic physique, so when she cultivated the Grand Moon Immortal Spell which was compatible with her physique, her strength would naturally increase by leaps and bounds.

She was now already at the eighth level of the unity realm.

Chu Yun's talent was not poor either, especially when it came to alchemy.

She had already reached the ninth level of the spirit realm. Although she was a lot weaker than Ding Yue, in the entire Southern Region, there were not many who could compare to her.

Moreover, her true talent was actually focused in the field of alchemy.

Chu Yun had already left the Chu family's territory to temper herself.

It had also been a long time since Chu Xuan heard Chu Tianming's roars from the direction of the ancestral residence.

The impending rise of the Chu family probably meant that they were less angry with Chu Yuan.

There did not seem to be many people in the Chu family who still remembered him.

Apart from Chu Yun who came frequently, Chu Qing came to visit a few times and Seventh Brother also came three times.

Other than that, no one else came to visit him.

Chu Xuan was happy to live his life in peace.

The five-year milestone was about to arrive, and Chu Xuan was looking forward to what rewards he would receive.

Nowadays, the rewards that were randomly triggered for his achievements in seclusion were of a very high grade.

Divine-grade treasures rarely appeared.

Most of them were treasures above the divine-grade.

With the support of Chu Xuan's medicinal pills, Du Yuan's strength rose very quickly, and he was now at the peak of the third level of the Supreme realm.

It would not be long before he broke through to the fourth level of the Supreme realm.

After cultivating the Purple Flames Burning Heavens technique, Du Yuan's strength was almost invincible among those of the same level.

Ren Changhe's comprehension of the Yin-yang god Combination Divine Seal had improved quite a bit, and his strength had already taken a step forward.

Although he had not actually reached the divine realm, he was not far from it.

He had now reached the half-step divine realm.

He still remained inside the Fallen God Cave and chose not to leave for the time being.

The aura of death in the Fallen God Cave was still prevalent around the area. However, the stone house where Ren Changhe was located was already showing signs of life.

In fact, due to his increased mastery of the cycle of life and death, the originally lifeless plants around his stone house were exhibiting signs of life and had transformed into special treasures.

These had the miraculous effect of reversing life and death.

Chapter 92: Five-Year Reward, Pocket Dimension

Chu Xuan was regretful that he had not managed to deceive another powerhouse.

Moreover, it had been so long, yet there had not been any new individuals with great luck passing by his courtyard.

What was more unexpected was that, under the Evil King's reorganization, the evil imperial court had unexpectedly become prosperous.

There were actually quite a few evil cultivation geniuses that had emerged, all rising from the bottom rungs among the heretic cultivators.

These geniuses were extremely grateful to the Evil King and were quickly taken in by him as his confidants.

The Evil King did not expect to obtain such an unexpected harvest, so he became even more determined to implement the new laws.

Mo Tuo was still inside the world-cleansing glazed pagoda. Eighty percent of his devil soul had lost its demonic qi.

However, he had still been a Heaven realm expert after all. It would still take some time for him to be fully converted.

Now, Mo Tuo spent less time roaring and more time meditating. Buddhist light surged out of his soul and he would recite Buddhist scriptures.

Chu Xuan was not in a hurry. There was still some time before the Asura Ancient Land opened.

No matter how many factions laid out their plans and how many experts used chess pieces, he would still flip the chessboard with his own plans and actions.

Moreover, he was also laying out his plans. Rather than wanting to achieve anything specific, he just wanted to disrupt the chess game and make it impossible for the experts who carefully laid out their plans to do as they pleased.

The five-year milestone finally arrived.

Chu Xuan was extremely excited as he waited for the system's reward.

It had been five years, so the reward would be very generous, right?

"You've stayed in seclusion for five years and enjoyed yourself while staying home. You've been rewarded with a pocket dimension."

A pocket dimension?

Chu Xuan was stunned, and then ecstatic.

A pocket dimension? This was not something the universe space could compare to.

The universe space was just a space created by array formations. There were no plants, creatures, mountains, or rivers in it.

The pocket dimension was different.

Mountains, rivers, plants, and creatures all existed inside the pocket dimension.

Would there also be humans?

Since it was a pocket dimension that the system rewarded him with, there probably were not any humans inside.

Chu Xuan immediately received the reward.

The pocket dimension was not considered big. It was slightly larger than the Southern Region. There were mountains, rivers, and plants and creatures everywhere.

There were all kinds of cultivation resources, all kinds of rare treasures, medicines, and natural treasures inside. There was no end to these in sight.

Chu Xuan became extremely excited.

"An entrance to the pocket dimension (evolvable) can be opened or closed at any time. Its owner can adjust the time flow inside the pocket dimension to differ from that of the real world…"

Focusing his thoughts, Chu Xuan immediately gained a clear view of the entire pocket dimension.

This was a small world that could evolve.

He checked the relevant information in the description. To evolve the pocket dimension, one needed a spirit vein or Dao verse.

After reading that, Chu Xuan could not help but sigh. He was still too poor. He had no problems raising pets, disciples, and servants, but it seemed like he still could not afford to raise a pocket dimension.

To evolve the pocket dimension, he needed a lot of spirit veins. Even if he plundered all the resources of the entire Southern Region and used them to grow the pocket dimension, it would not be able to evolve much. It seemed that the evolution of this pocket dimension would still have to rely on the system's rewards.

Apart from the fact that the pocket dimension could evolve, Chu Xuan also noticed that he could adjust the time flow within the pocket dimension.

To put it bluntly, he was able to change the flow of time in relation to the time in reality.

For example, if he stayed inside the pocket dimension for a year, only a day would have passed in reality.

However, the time flow difference in the pocket dimension was rather useless for Chu Xuan. After all, even if he stayed inside it for a year, the system would calculate the rewards based on the flow of time in reality.

Currently, the biggest time flow adjustment he could make between the pocket dimension and the real world was one year in the former equating to one day in the latter.

Chu Xuan's first thought was that, with the pocket dimension, he would be able to train strong people in a very short time.

The spiritual power inside the pocket dimension was even richer than in the Southern Region. Of course, the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region had yet to be restored, which resulted in its relatively low amount of spiritual power.

Moreover, cultivation resources were abundant everywhere inside the pocket dimension, and there were countless natural treasures.

Chu Xuan was very excited. Ding Yue and Su Xian'er would be able to advance to the truth realm within a very short time.

Also, to break through to the Emperor realm, one needed a long time to solidify one's foundation before breaking through.

However, with the pocket, the time needed to do that could also be greatly shortened.

Once Ding Yue and Su Xian'er broke through, Chu Xuan would receive a cultivation boost reward.

According to the system's rules, he had to remain in seclusion at home. He would train his disciples or servants, and his cultivation would increase rapidly when one of them broke through to a major realm, he would receive a cultivation boost reward.

When Ding Yue broke through to the void realm, the system rewarded him with ten years' worth of cultivation.

At this moment, Chu Xuan wanted to take in a few more disciples.

However, their levels of talent had to be monstrous enough.

The cultivation boost reward the system gave him also mentioned the criteria for the disciple or servant's cultivation to "increase rapidly". It could be seen that, in order to receive a cultivation boost reward, the disciple or servant's cultivation speed could not be slow.

Chu Xuan looked at the lucky mystic realms in the courtyard. It had been so long. Why had no one with great luck arrived yet?

Should he activate a lucky mystic realm?

Chu Xuan decided to wait a little longer. After obtaining another lucky mystic realm, he would activate one.

He would not activate one in the Southern Region.

The current fated person of the Southern Region, Ding Yue, had already acknowledged him as his teacher. Even if there were other people in the Southern Region with great luck, they could not compare to Ding Yue.

Chu Xuan had yet to make up his mind on the exact location. He would make the decision after he obtained another lucky mystic realm.

He waved his hand and a shimmering door appeared in a corner of the courtyard.

It was the door connecting the pocket dimension to reality.

When the Heavenly Spirit Cat saw it, it looked at Chu Xuan with its cute eyes and meowed.

"Go in."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

The cat's figure flashed as it entered the pocket dimension.

The moment it entered the pocket dimension, its body transformed into a huge fierce tiger.

Roar!

With a roar, the power of the white tiger spread out.

The countless demonic beasts and spiritual birds in the pocket dimension instantly trembled in fear.

The cat was very satisfied.

Crash!

The Sky-shaking Golden Roc also entered the pocket dimension. It spread its wings so wide that they almost seemed to cover the sky. It swooped down and instantly grabbed a truth realm demonic beast and tore it into pieces.

The Spirit Devouring Flower also entered the pocket dimension.

In an instant, an enormous strange-looking tree stood in between the heavens and the earth. The incomparably dazzling flower swayed, causing the surrounding creatures to be hypnotized, after which they all ran up voluntarily to the flower to be devoured.

"Roar!"

On a large mountain in the pocket dimension, a 100-meter-tall giant ape hammered its chest and roared.

The giant ape was an apex predator in the pocket dimension. It was at the fifth level of the Emperor realm!

Its bloodline was not simple either.

There were only seven Emperor realm creatures in the entire pocket dimension.

Although the pocket dimension was only slightly bigger than the Southern Region, one had to know that the Southern Region itself was very vast.

During the ancient war with the demons, the ley lines collapsed and countless places fell disappeared into different spaces and dimensions.

The current Southern Region was almost a million miles measured from the south to the north. Many places were in a desolate state.

There was an enormous tree in the pocket dimension, which was located at the highest peak inside this world.

The enormous tree looked very ordinary. It did not look like a spirit plant or a precious tree at all.

Its name was the ordinary tree.

However, this tree was the most precious treasure inside the pocket dimension.

There was only one unique thing about this tree, which was that it could not be destroyed. Whether it was an emperor-level weapon, a heavenly weapon, or even a divine weapon or Dao artifact, none of them could destroy this tree.

In fact, not even the bark of the tree could be damaged.

However, the name of this tree was the ordinary tree; like its name it looked utterly ordinary.

Chapter 93: Complete Collection Of Delicacies

Apart from being indestructible and unable to be damaged, the ordinary tree did not seem to be of much use.

Although it was sharp, it was unable to damage Dao artifacts, so the ordinary tree could not be used as a weapon.

However, it was still a very rare treasure.

Chu Xuan was actually very concerned about this tree.

After all, it was the most precious treasure in his pocket dimension.

In fact, if it was used properly, the ordinary wood was still very powerful.

Although this tree was thousands of meters tall, it was still a sapling and had not fully grown.

Even though it was just a sapling, it had already awakened the characteristic of being unable to be damaged.

However, for Chu Xuan, it would not be difficult for him to break its branches.

It grew inside the pocket dimension, and Chu Xuan was the master of the pocket dimension, so he had full control over it.

The ordinary tree was part of the reward given by the system in the pocket dimension, so none of its characteristics were effective against Chu Xuan.

"Calm down a little. Stop causing trouble, and work hard to increase your strength."

Chu Xuan remonstrated the Heavenly Spirit Cat, the Sky-shaking Golden Roc, and the Spirit Devouring Flower.

The cat, bird, and tree all stopped fighting. They did not fight with the giant ape, but instead each found a mountain to occupy.

The pocket dimension was rich in resources, and housed countless natural treasures. The spiritual power here was even denser than that of the Southern Region, so the speed of one's cultivation here would be faster.

Chu Xuan summoned Su Xian'er and Ding Yue out of the universe space.

"This place is a pocket dimension. Go inside and cultivate."

Su Xian'er and Ding Yue were shocked.

Looking at the glittering door, they widened their eyes. There was a pocket dimension inside?

Where did this pocket dimension come from?

"Master, this is…"

"You're making a big fuss over nothing. How can you cultivate the Supreme Sword like this? It's just a pocket dimension, and you've already lost your composure. What would you do if a peerless beauty from the ancient or modern times appeared in front of you?"

"The state of mind of young people nowadays is really bad. Cultivate the way of the sword well and strive to break through the three stages as soon as possible." Chu Xuan reprimanded him.

Ding Yue instantly felt extremely ashamed. In the end, his mental state had still been too immature. He had lost his composure so easily.

"Master, you're right!"

Chu Xuan was in a good mood. He also derived pleasure from training his disciple.

"En, go in then. A year inside is a day outside. Strive to break through to the Emperor realm as soon as possible!"

Ding Yue lost his composure again.

"A year in the pocket dimension is equivalent to a day in reality?"

He was so excited that his face turned red. The pocket dimension was definitely a sacred land for cultivation.

"You lost your composure again?" Chu Xuan reprimanded him again.

"Hehe, Master is right to lecture me."

Ding Yue chuckled and quickly entered the pocket dimension.

Su Xian'er's mouth was wide open, and her face was filled with shock.

She came from the prosperous Central Region, and she was also a descendant of a large family. She was far more knowledgeable than Ding Yue.

It was rumored that there was a type of secret realm in the world where people cultivated for a hundred years but, outside in reality, only a year passed.

There was once a famous expert who had quickly rose to prominence thanks to one of these peerless secret realms.

It was rumored that this type of time secret realms had been left behind by supreme experts. They were extremely rare and hard to come by.

They usually also contained those experts' inheritances.

After someone entered and activated it, the secret realm would disappear once the time was up.

However, this pocket dimension would not disappear.

What was more shocking was that this was not a secret realm, but a pocket dimension!

Exactly how powerful was this Senior?

Su Xian'er had a premonition that she would soon break through to the Emperor realm, or even the Supreme realm.

When that time came, she would return to the Central Region and suppress the Su family, slapping those b*stards on the face.

Those who had mocked her, looked down on her, and humiliated her would all be killed!

When that time came, those b*stards who secretly coveted her beauty and had evil intentions about her would all be killed!

That detestable sister of hers had actually married her to that disgusting fellow. After she returned, she would marry her sister to a beggar!

Then she would force that disgusting fellow who wanted to marry her back then to marry an ugly freak. Thinking back to that time, she felt so disgusted!

The more Su Xian'er thought about it, the more excited she became. She could not wait to return to the Central Region to take revenge!

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched. What was this girl doing?

Was she dreaming of rising up and killing everyone?

"Stop daydreaming. Go inside and roast a sheep for me."

Su Xian'er blushed and said coquettishly, "Sir, I still need to cultivate. Can you roast the sheep later?"

Chu Xuan ignored her coquettish remark. "I think you'd better return to the universe space and stay there."

"I'll roast, I'll roast it right away."

Su Xian'er looked at Chu Xuan with a bitter expression.

Senior did not show any mercy at all!

She hurriedly entered the pocket dimension and saw that, not far away, a sheep was eating grass. She lashed out with her whip.

"Baa!"

The sheep lowered its head. Its horns shot out two bolts of lightning towards her long whip.

Su Xian'er was shocked. A random grass-eating sheep actually had the strength of a unity realm cultivator?

After exerting quite a bit of effort, the sheep was finally slaughtered and roasted. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The fragrance assailed her nostrils.

Su Xian'er could not help but tear off a piece of mutton, stuffing it into her mouth.

Hiss!

It was too delicious. It was much more delicious than the demonic beast meat of the Southern Region.

Moreover, the spiritual power contained within was even more dense and pure.

She took the roasted sheep out of the pocket dimension and placed it on the table in front of her before moving to return to the pocket dimension.

Due to the time flow difference, only a short time had passed since Su Xian'er entered, caught the sheep, and roasted it.

"Have you forgotten your duties?"

Chu Xuan glanced at her. "How can you comprehend the Great Dao if you're so impatient? One's state of mind is the foundation of comprehending the Great Dao. Sit down and slice the meat."

Su Xian'er took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and then sat down beside Chu Xuan.

"Sir, you are right."

She took out a small knife and cut off a small piece of meat. Her tender white fingers pinched the piece of meat and fed it to Chu Xuan's mouth.

"This is what life should be all about!"

Chu Xuan swallowed the meat Su Xian'er handed to him and sighed.

"You are enjoying the comfortable time at home. You can also enjoy the luxuries of home after comprehending it. You have been rewarded with the complete collection of delicacies and the time illusion technique."

A random reward from the system was triggered.

Chu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. He swallowed the mutton that Su Xian'er handed him and waved her off.

Su Xian'er ran into the pocket dimension excitedly.

He first examined the complete collection of delicacies.

Inside the complete collection of delicacies were all sorts of materials and recipes for the delicacies of this world, as well as the methods of cooking them.

These delicacies were made with top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

One had to know that many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were very delicious. Even the rare delicacies in the world were also rare treasures.

In the complete collection of delicacies, aside from the materials and recipes, there were also seeds that could be cultivated.

Chu Xuan called Su Xian'er out.

"Sir."

Su Xian'er had a wronged expression on her face. Why did he call her for everything? Ding Yue was his disciple, so it was only right for him to serve Sir.

"Plant all of these in the pocket dimension. Also, learn how to cook these recipes."

Chu Xuan handed all the items in the complete collection of delicacies to Su Xian'er.

As a servant, she would be unqualified if she did not know how to cook.

"Okay."

Su Xian'er took the complete collection of delicacies and entered the pocket dimension once more.

When she opened it, she was stunned.

There were countless rare and legendary treasures inside.

There were also countless rare and precious treasures that she did not know about or had never heard of.

She looked at the matching recipes and was stunned. These recipes were not simple.

They recorded everything from the processing of the materials to the matching of all kinds of rare treasures with each other, as well as how to fully bring out their effects and flavors.

If she stewed a pot of these rare dishes every day, she would break through to the truth realm in no time at all!

Chapter 94: Powerful Time Illusion Technique

Su Xian'er immediately began to prepare a pot of rare and precious delicacies.

She pulled Ding Yue over to do the hard work.

There were many recipes, so Su Xian'er chose the simplest one to start with.

Moreover, many of the rare and precious treasures inside were too high-level and could not be eaten yet given her low cultivation level.

Therefore, she had to specially choose the rare and precious treasures that were of a level that her cultivation level could withstand to cook.

The seeds inside were distributed to be planted.

Moreover, she had the Sky-shaking Golden Roc and the Spirit Devouring Flower watch over them.

As for the Heavenly Spirit Cat, it would act cute. Su Xian'er loved it more, so she did not ask it to do any hard work.

In fact, there was no need to watch over the seeds planted in the pocket dimension. The local creatures in the pocket dimension would not destroy the rare seeds.

After all, they were Chu Xuan's belongings. Without his permission, those creatures would not dare to destroy them.

After Chu Xuan finished examining the complete collection of delicacies and sent Su Xian'er away with it, he could not wait to examine the time illusion technique.

"The time illusion technique is derived from the Great Dao of time. The user can stay in the Great Dao of time, leaving an illusion in reality, and can also use the illusion to communicate with reality…"

After reading through the information about the time illusion technique, Chu Xuan took a deep breath. It was too powerful.

What did it mean to live in the Great Dao of time and use the illusion to communicate with reality?

It meant that no one could hurt him, unless one could slash through time itself.

He would be able to live in the past, present or future.

For example, his body could exist in time three seconds ago and leave an illusion in the present.

No attack would be able to reach Chu Xuan.

This would be because Chu Xuan's body existed in the past, so no matter how powerful the attack was, it would not be able to touch him.

It was impossible for the attack to reach the past. Since he was not in the present, he naturally would not be affected by the attack.

It could be said that Chu Xuan would truly be undefeatable after mastering the time illusion technique.

Unless of course the other party could slash into the future or the past.

However, this was not something that a Heaven realm expert could do.

Even a Divine realm expert could not do it.

The time illusion technique was derived from the Great Dao of time.

Chu Xuan's heart began beating violently. This time, the system reward that he had accidentally triggered was too surprising.

As expected, the rewards that he had accidentally triggered did not follow the rules.

Given Chu Xuan's current strength, he should not be able to obtain a high-level reward such as a Great Dao technique.

Only by accidentally triggering it would he be able to obtain such high-level rewards.

He then chose to receive the reward.

A hazy light enveloped Chu Xuan, causing him to fall into a mysterious state.

His body swayed, as if he had already left the present, leaving only an illusion in reality.

It was called an illusion, but in reality, it was no different from a real person.

A day soon passed.

During this time, Su Xian'er came out and saw that Chu Xuan was resting with his eyes closed. He did not seem to want her to brief him about the happenings in the Southern Region, so she happily went back to the pocket dimension to cultivate.

She naturally did not notice that Chu Xuan was in a state of enlightenment.

While in the state of enlightenment, Chu Xuan would not be disturbed by external things, so he remained under the protection of the system.

It was not the first time Su Xian'er saw Chu Xuan resting with his eyes closed like this, so the moment she saw Chu Xuan in this state, she happily went back to the pocket dimension to cultivate.

Three days had passed before Chu Xuan woke up from the state of enlightenment.

This was the longest period of enlightenment he had ever undergone due to the instigation of the system.

From this, one could tell just how profound and powerful the time illusion technique was.

Chu Xuan's thoughts were stirred, and his body instantly entered the Great Dao of time, leaving behind an illusion in the present.

The illusion was no different from his actual self in real life. He could also come into contact with everything in reality through the illusion, and the illusion could even act in his place in reality.

However, after performing the time illusion technique for one or two seconds, Chu Xuan felt as if his entire body was about to collapse.

His divine soul felt exhausted.

He hurriedly took out a medicinal pill and swallowed it to recover.

The time illusion technique was indeed powerful, but the spiritual power consumption was also extremely high.

The burden the technique placed on the user's divine soul was especially terrifying.

With Chu Xuan's cultivation at the fourth level of the Supreme realm, and the strength of his divine soul which had far surpassed the Supreme realm, he could only sustain it for one or two seconds.

At the moment, the time illusion technique could not make Chu Xuan invincible. He could only use it to avoid life-threatening attacks at critical moments.

If he used the time illusion technique to deal with a strong enemy, it would only drag him down. After all, he could only maintain it for a short time, and it would drain nearly all of his spiritual power and will.

"I need to at least be in the Heaven realm to be able to turn defeat into victory and surprise a strong enemy with this technique."

"It's still too difficult to use the time illusion technique in the Supreme realm."

Chu Xuan was very clear that the power of the time illusion technique was not something that a Supreme realm could use.

As it was a reward from the system, he had completely mastered the technique with the system's aid.

This was why it was possible to use it even though he had not reached the Heaven realm.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even Divine realm cultivators would not be able to use it.

Chu Xuan had comprehended the time illusion technique, a Great Dao technique. Although he could not use it properly now, he could still try to create a low-level version of the technique.

For example, how to make his attacks faster within his domain, or how to slow down the enemy's attacks, and so on.

Chu Xuan decided to give it a try. Creating a low-level version of the time-related secret technique should not be too big of a problem.

For example, he could create a Heaven and Earth minor technique.

Chu Xuan did it as soon as he thought of it. He began to think about how he could make slight changes in time within his domain.

For example, he could speed up his attacks, slow down the enemy's attacks, and even freeze the enemy for an instant.

The power of the domain was based on the laws, and the process of improving one's domain involved constantly perfecting these laws.

He could view the domain as a miniature world that he had constructed, and he was the ruler of this miniature world.

Within one's own domain, it did not seem difficult to disrupt the flow of time for a brief instant.

In battles between experts at the Emperor realm and above, the collision of domains was extremely crucial. Whoever's domain overpowered the other party's would obtain the final victory.

In addition, the types of domains and ways people used them were different.

What Chu Xuan needed to do was to slow down the opponent's attacks while simultaneously speeding his own attacks.

In fact, he could even disrupt the time inside his opponent's domain, which would throw them off their rhythm.

Creating such a powerful secret art was much more difficult than creating a normal minor art of Heaven and Earth.

Chu Xuan gave Su Xian'er a few days off so that she would not disturb him.

This was the first time Chu Xuan had truly devoted himself to researching a secret art.

For the first time, he frowned and thought hard about it, and he kept trying.

Occasionally, there would be a wave of profound fluctuations undulating around Chu Xuan's body. After a few days of hard thinking, he had finally gained some insights.

However, he still needed to test things out.

Therefore, he called out the Heavenly Spirit Cat and the Sky-shaking Golden Roc.

He instructed the two pets to use their domain powers to fight against him.

Chu Xuan suppressed his cultivation to the Emperor realm.

The Heaven Spirit Cat's domain revolved around the concepts of lightness and agility. It mainly contained a type of space attribute which gave it the ability to travel at an extremely fast speed.

The Sky-shaking Golden Roc's domain was majestic and heavy, yet it also had the ability to travel at an extremely fast speed.

Chapter 95: Time Vessel

After a few days of trial and error, Chu Xuan finally figured out how to use the time technique to influence the enemy within his domain.

The Heavenly Spirit Cat's domain was activated, and it pounced forward at an extremely fast speed. With a wave of its small claw, one could already see a barrage of claw marks.

The Sky-shaking Golden Roc spread its wings, and sharp golden light flew out like a blade, piercing through Heaven and Earth to attack Chu Xuan.

This battle took place within the universe space. If it was in a small courtyard, the entirety of the Chu family's territory would have disappeared from the attacks.

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed, and a mysterious light appeared around his body as he flashed over to the Heavenly Spirit Cat.

The cat, which was originally pouncing over at high speed, seemed to have been affected by some kind of law of time. Its body actually paused for a moment, and its attack also likewise paused.

Within that brief moment, Chu Xuan's hand wrapped itself around the cat's neck.

A mysterious light once again appeared, flashing past the golden blade that the Sky-shaking Golden Roc had shot forth. The blade, which originally seemed to be cutting through Heaven and Earth, paused for a moment.

By this time, Chu Xuan had already dodged the attack. The mysterious light once again appeared, flashing as it shot itself into the Sky-shaking Golden Roc's body, causing it to also pause for a moment.

At this moment, the victor was decided.

The Heavenly Spirit Cat and the Sky-shaking Golden Roc stared at Chu Xuan in shock.

One had to know that Chu Xuan had suppressed his cultivation to the first level of the Emperor realm, yet he had easily captured them.

The mysterious light was especially strange.

It seemed to be able to affect time?

This was not a power that could be used by an Emperor realm cultivator!

"Haha, I'm indeed the most talented person in the world!"

Chu Xuan was extremely excited.

He originally wanted to create a minor technique, but in the end he created the foundation of what would be a grand technique. Once his cultivation increased, this grand technique would be no weaker than the time illusion technique.

Currently, although it was only a minor technique and could only be used inside his own doman, it formed the foundation of the time-based grand technique, so it had a lot of room for growth.

Time Theft!

Chu Xuan named it theTime Theft technique, as it stole the enemy's time!

"You have createdand comprehended the foundation of a time-based grand technique. You have proven the wisdom and intelligence of a home-bound otaku, and have been rewarded with the time vessel."

What a pleasant surprise, the system had actually come out to reward him again.

Moreover, the system had also recognized his creation as the foundation of a time-based grand technique. From this, it could be seen that this secret art that he had created possessed endless potential and could directly lead its user toward the Great Dao of time.

He then examined the time vessel that the system had rewarded him with.

It was a small crystal-clear and gorgeous boat that did not seem to exist in reality. It looked ethereal and exuded a hallucinatory vibe.

"The time vessel is a time-based treasure. It can wander in the long river of time unaffected by the erosion of time…"

Hiss!

This was a super awesome treasure.

Chu Xuan was excited. A treasure that could wander in the long river of time probably did not exist in the nine zones and fifty regions.

However, to Chu Xuan, the time vessel was not of much use at the moment.

He could not go to the river of time either.

His cultivation realm was far too low. Visiting the river of time required an extremely high cultivation realm.

Even though he had mastered the time illusion technique and created the Time Theft technique, he still could not comprehend the river of time.

Still, a treasure like the time vessel would eventually come in handy one day.

Chu Xuan was fascinated by the thought of one day sailing on an ethereal boat and wandering the river of time.

That was the image of a true immortal in his heart, and the goal that he pursued.

After creating the time-based secret technique, Chu Xuan returned to his previous state.

The Heavenly Spirit Cat and the Sky-shaking Golden Roc returned to the pocket dimension to continue their cultivation.

Su Xian'er also went back to her normal routine. Every day, she would organize the information sent over by the Black Moon Tower and would brief Chu Xuan on whatever she found relevant or interesting.

Ding Yue was cultivating in seclusion in the pocket dimension. He was trying his best to break through the second stage of the way of the sword while comprehending the Heaven-reaching sword technique.

He would only leave the pocket dimension to ask Chu Xuan questions about parts of the cultivation technique that he did not understand.

Su Xian'er, on the other hand, needed to find enough time to organize the information from the Black Moon Tower for Chu Xuan and brief him, but also cook delicacies.

Looking at Su Xian'er, Chu Xuan made an exception and allowed her to enter a period of closed-door cultivation to break through. He was looking forward to the cultivation boost reward that the system would provide after she broke through.

Ding Yue was also about to break through to the unity realm.

After all, he had been cultivating inside the pocket dimension for several years.

The pocket dimension was like a cheat-code when it came to training disciples.

A hundred-year Emperor realm expert would be born in only a hundred days.

Of course, despite spending a hundred years in a pocket dimension, it was actually impossible to break through to the Emperor realm so quickly. It would take a longer time for them to comprehend and consolidate their foundations.

Chu Xuan was eager to take in a few more talented disciples to help him improve his strength quickly.

However, the matter of taking in disciples could not be rushed. If one was not a peerless heaven's blessed, Chu Xuan would not even bother to take a look. The cultivation speed of ordinary disciples was too slow. Not only would he not obtain the cultivation boost reward from the system, but he would also have to waste resources training them.

Great Yan County, Great Qin Dynasty.

Chu Yun had arrived at the territory of Great Yan County, and was searching for spirit herbs on a huge mountain.

Suddenly, two figures walked over from afar.

One of them was dressed in black, whose body exuded an evil aura. He was a heretic cultivator.

She immediately became vigilant.

However, she was not afraid.

She had the secret protection of an expert of the truth realm behind her.

The Chu family originally wanted to send out a unity realm family elder to protect her, but after learning that Chu Yun had the secret protection of an expert of the truth realm, they did not arrange for an expert to follow her around.

The little evil king waved the folding fan in his hand in a very flirtatious manner. His slightly pale face exuded a demonic charm.

The ruthless little evil king had always been known for being cruel and abnormal.

In the evil imperial court, he was an exception.

He was also the only evil king candidate in the line of evil kings who did not practice evil techniques.

If he successfully became the next evil king, then he would become the only evil king in the history of the evil imperial court who did not practice evil techniques.

Although the little evil king was not an evil cultivator, in terms of ruthlessness, cruelty, and perversion, countless evil cultivators could not hold a candle to him.

Seeing Chu Yun picking spirit herbs from afar, the protector of the little evil king, Wang Hang, could not help but feel pity for this little girl Chu Yun.

Meeting the little evil king was bad luck.

The little evil king's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward.

"Greetings, little girl!"

He cupped his hands and bowed in a scholarly manner.

Wang Hang was stunned. What was going on? When did the little evil king become so easy to talk to and accommodating?

Could it be that he was trying out a new trick?

Chu Yun frowned. The little evil king did not give off good vibes. Although he did not cultivate evil techniques, he was still evil.

He had a bewitching smile on his face.

Even though he tried his best to pretend to be gentle, he still could not change his bewitching temperament.

It was obvious that he was not a good person.

Chu Yun put the spiritual medicine into her storage bag and turned around to leave. She did not have the slightest intention of interacting with the little evil king.

Wang Hang gave Chu Yun a pitying look. If she ignored the little evil king like that, she would definitely end up in a miserable state.

The little evil king's figure flashed, and he blocked Chu Yun's path.

He tidied up his clothes and put a devilish smile on his face. He bowed again in a scholarly manner and said, "Miss, I am being very polite."

There must be something wrong with this person's brain.

"Move aside, I don't have time to deal with you!"

Chu Yun glared at him.

"Miss, please!"

The little evil king moved aside and made a pleasant gesture.

Wang Hang was dumbfounded. What was going on? Did the little evil king change his w
