Chapter 1013: Chapter 76: Accelerating Cultivation [Two in One]

When Chu Liang found Venerable Azure Dragon, he was supervising the reconstruction of the Penglai Upper Sect.

Previously, Red Cotton Peak had acquired Penglai, and the remaining Upper Sect disciples had started working under Chu Liang along with Yang Shenlong. At first, some might have been reluctant, but as the generous compensation started flowing in, everyone accepted the new reality.

To facilitate the work, most of the Penglai disciples also resided at Red Cotton Peak, which gradually became like a new gateway for Penglai.

The recent destruction of Red Cotton Peak made the people of Penglai realize that although they depended on Shu Mountain for sustenance, they couldn’t afford to stay too close to it. Now that Shu Mountain Sect was a prominent target, living there meant inevitable involvement in troubles.

After all, they were, in truth, the first to stir up the wind.

In any case, the Penglai Upper Sect selected a new site and established a temporary gateway on the high mountains of the Southern Region, not far from Shu Mountain Sect. Today, although Penglai still retained the name of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, everyone knew that both its status and power had fallen drastically, and no one was concerned about appearances anymore.

When Chu Liang approached, the Penglai disciples were bustling with activity, while Venerable Azure Dragon stood by, watching with his hands in his sleeves.

"Everyone’s busy, huh," Chu Liang said with a smile as he greeted them.

"Just building a place to stay," replied Venerable Azure Dragon with a smile, "Warrior Chu graces us with his presence. Do you need something?"

"Just a little matter, nothing urgent," Chu Liang waved his hand, "Why not hire Earth-Wood Hall to build some Phoenix Level structures? They are sturdier. Although Red Cotton Peak was destroyed, many Phoenix Level structures in the ruins were not completely damaged, preserving some items. Had it not been for a battle of Evil Ksitigarbha’s caliber, the destruction might not have been so severe. Building better houses gives peace of mind, doesn’t it?"

"Phoenix Level constructions are too expensive," Venerable Azure Dragon stated frankly, "Penglai Upper Sect doesn’t have the extra money right now, we simply can’t afford such costly buildings. Having a shelter is enough for now; if it gets destroyed, we can always rebuild."

"How can that be?" Chu Liang gestured grandly, "Tomorrow I will bring Earth-Wood Hall over, and change everything to Phoenix Level buildings, one for each person. Now that you’ve left Red Cotton Peak, there’s more land, and I’ll cover the housing!"

Venerable Azure Dragon was not pleased, knowing Chu Liang’s nature during this time—an intent concealed by generosity. Now that such a large benefit was offered, it must come with a demand.

Without clearly hearing his proposal, Venerable Azure Dragon dared not accept his generosity.

"Is there something you need my help with?" he asked tentatively.

"Well..." Chu Liang chuckled, "Of course, there are some small requests, but they are unrelated to the favor I’m offering. I’m here to borrow a divine artifact from Penglai."

As expected, it was related to the Eastern Sea Time Wheel. Hearing him say it out loud, Venerable Azure Dragon felt relieved.

"Given the close relationship between Red Cotton Peak and Penglai, Warrior Chu, there should be no problem borrowing the Eastern Sea Time Wheel," Venerable Azure Dragon smiled, "What is it for?"

"Simply put..." Chu Liang said earnestly, "I need you to help me with my cultivation."

...

When Venerable Azure Dragon and Immortal Jiuyi met at Shu Mountain, both were somewhat bashful.

"You also...?"

The two exchanged smiles, seeing a touch of shyness in each other’s eyes, and knew their thoughts aligned.

He had given too much.

The divine artifact was idle at home, better to put it to use when not busy.

A massive gain.

"Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams can accelerate the flow of time inside the divine artifact, I’ll stay inside for this period, asking Senior Jiuyi to maximize the flow of time," Chu Liang looked toward Venerable Azure Dragon, "I also need Venerable to join me, enhancing me alone with the Eastern Sea Time Wheel to maximize the flow."

"What are you trying to do? Accelerating time like that, isn’t it..." Hearing his words, both powers were somewhat shocked.

"Because I want to accelerate my cultivation pace," Chu Liang said.

He hadn’t spoken to the two seniors about the plan to revive Tuntun using the Dao of Creation because he himself wasn’t sure of its success, and it sounded somewhat incredible.

Nonetheless, regardless of his goal, merely this act was astonishing enough. What household has two powers activate two divine artifacts for enhancement?

That was truly lavish.

Whether it was the disciples of Misty Mountain Immortal Sect or the Penglai Upper Sect, they only had the opportunity to cultivate within during crucial events like the Immortal Sect Conference, benefiting from the accelerated time flow.

Chu Liang had directly summoned them for personal service.

And summoned both at once.

Truly exhibiting the essence of wealth and extravagance.

Yet Jiuyi and Venerable Azure Dragon had no grounds for refusal, as Chu Liang compensated based on time, and they had no reason to decline.

Even so, Venerable Azure Dragon still cautioned, "You must be careful, overlapping time flows will pass swiftly, you must keep track of the time spent within, not to consume too much of your lifespan."

Though the flow of time around him remained unchanged, Chu Liang’s lifespan would rapidly diminish. If he fell into deep contemplation, it was hard to tell whether his fortune or his life would run out first.

Fortunately, both Immortal Jiuyi and Venerable Azure Dragon were, in essence, on his side and wouldn’t let Chu Liang cultivate for too long. Should it exceed a certain duration, they would stop the enhancement.

"Then, I entrust this matter to the two seniors," Chu Liang said, bowing courteously.
