Chapter 0822: Frantic Cultivation
Before refining the Chaotic Fiery Stone, Huang Long still had one thing to do—activate the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron Formation to alter the time within its space!
The Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron was a supreme treasure from the primordial era, capable of changing time within it.
Of course, aside from the Sacred Cauldron, the Chaotic Bell could also be used. Yet, to activate the formation and alter the time in its space, having just a supreme treasure wasn’t enough—it was merely one of the conditions.
Changing the time of a space was an act that defied the laws of nature, requiring trillions of units of magical energy. Even with the World Tree, Huang Long wouldn’t be able to sustain it.
Pills! If there were pills, it would be different!
Tens of millions of pills could be transformed into immense spiritual energy to power the formation and alter the time of the space!
And now, Huang Long had both of these conditions!
Immediately, he formed a magic seal with his hands and unleashed all his inner immortal energy to activate the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron Formation.
Boom, boom-boom!
A loud roar echoed repeatedly in the void.
The people in that space felt a strange sensation—the seemingly unchanging time and space began to flow like meteors.
Under Huang Long’s activation, the time in that space gradually changed: twice, five times, ten times, twenty times!
Twenty times slower than the outside world!
In other words, twenty days passed inside while only one day passed outside!
But at this point, Huang Long felt his abundant magical energy being endlessly drained by an bottomless abyss, making it extremely difficult for him to continue.
His eyes flashed with intensity as the life force of the World Tree surged through his body, replenishing his depleted magical energy.
The formation continued to operate.
Fifty times, a hundred times, two hundred times!
When it reached two hundred times, Huang Long felt strain again. Even with the World Tree continuously drawing energy from the void, it wasn’t enough to sustain the formation any longer.
“Up!” At that moment, Huang Long waved his hands, and a mountain thousands of feet tall, composed of top-grade divine pills, soared into the air and turned entirely into pure energy, poured into the formation.
The roar in the void grew louder and louder.
Five hundred times, a thousand times, five thousand times—when it reached ten thousand times, the formation finally stopped. The mountain of top-grade divine pills had been completely consumed!
Ten thousand to one!
Ten thousand days passed in the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, roughly thirty years, while only one day passed outside!
Huang Long stopped, his face turning pale. He swallowed a Primordial Divine Pill, and only then did his complexion improve slightly. Even with enough divine pills and vital energy, given his current strength, he could only achieve a one-in-ten-thousand advantage!
“Second brother, are you okay?” Huang Yi stepped forward and asked anxiously.
Huang Long waved his hand and said, “I’m fine!”
“That’s too terrifying! A mountain peak filled with top-grade divine pills, thousands of feet high, was used up like that?!” Pi Long, Thunder Beast, and the others tapped their tongues in shock.
How many pills were there in a mountain peak thousands of feet high? Probably a million!
A million top-grade divine pills!
At the thought of this number, Lu Su and Perkin’s hearts clenched violently. It would take them years to gather that many pills using their entire Naisi family’s resources!
Yet it was all used up in just one go!
Only Huang Long would be willing to squander things like this.
Huang Long smiled calmly, “It’s fine. It’s worth it!” Indeed, it was worth it, because time was extremely important for Huang Long now! Of course, the mountain peak of top-grade Primordial Divine Pills consumed just now was a drop in the ocean compared to the divine pills in the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron realm!
“Then, second brother, how long can this one-in-ten-thousand time expansion last?” Huang Liang asked.
“A hundred years!” Huang Long pondered.
A hundred years meant only three days outside!
Three days—that was the day when Lei Peng and Tian Feng would get married!
Huang Long calculated that by then, with the marriage between Lei Peng’s and Tian Feng’s clans, Fei Li, Saint Buri, andBruich English Wei：Bruich. would attack him and Naisi! So, he only had three days!
However, a hundred years was enough for Huang Long to fully refine and absorb the Chaos Red Fiery Stone, raising his magical power to an astonishing level!
At that moment, Huang Long waved his hands, and each person received a pile of divine pills.
Ten thousand! Ten thousand top-grade divine pills!
Above Primordial Divine Pills were top-grade pills.
One top-grade pill was equivalent to a hundred king-grade pills or ten thousand top-grade pills!
Ten thousand top-grade pills meant one hundred million top-grade pills!
“During these hundred years, you all should retreat and train hard, doing everything possible to improve your strength!” Huang Long said.
These ten thousand top-grade divine pills were enough for everyone to train frantically for thousands of years.
“Yes, master!”
“Understood, second brother!”
The others replied happily before vanishing to train.
“Huoyang, since the original form of this Chaos Red Fiery Stone is useful for your training, I’ll let you devour and refine it to boost your strength!” Then, Huang Long turned to Huoyang and said.
For Huoyang, even taking in innate divine pills for cultivation would yield little effect. However, treasures like the Chaos Red Fiery Stone were different. Moreover, as a supreme yang substance, it was an ideal “tonic” for Huoyang.
“You want me to swallow the original form of the Chaos Red Fiery Stone?” Huoyang pointed at the original form floating high in the sky, filled with excitement.
The Chaos Red Fiery Stone consisted of two parts: one was the deity it had transformed into—the young man whom the two of them had killed together—and the other was the original form of the stone, the “sun” that continued to emit light high in the sky.
Although the vitality of that deity was much stronger than that of the original stone, after Huoyang consumed and refined the original form, it would be equivalent to ten billion years, or even several billion years, of hard cultivation for him!
Huanglong nodded. “Exactly!” For Huanglong, refining and absorbing the deity within the Chaos Red Fiery Stone was sufficient. The original stone itself had little effect on him; only when Huoyang consumed it could its full potential be utilized.
Besides, Huoyang had helped him a great deal so far, and there would be many more tasks that required his effort. After all, he was a divine king—he wouldn’t work as a “labourer” for free.
“Very well!” Huoyang nodded, without delay, feeling grateful in his heart.
Immediately, Huoyang reached out into the void and absorbed the original form of the Chaos Red Fiery Stone into his body, then vanished in a flash and went into seclusion.
With the original form of the Chaos Red Fiery Stone taken by Huoyang, the inner space remained bright, unshaken by darkness.
After Huoyang left, Huanglong turned to look at the deity formed from the Chaos Red Fiery Stone. With a single motion of his palm, he arrived at the center of the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron’s massive array. Now, he intended to use this array to completely refine the Chaos Red Fiery Stone into the purest form of vitality!
Inside the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron’s inner space lay countless small worlds, and this massive array existed within one of them.
However, Huanglong had only lifted the first layer of restrictions of the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron. There were still many more layers. Once the first layer was removed, countless divine pills appeared—so what about the second layer?
Of course, for now, Huanglong’s top priority was to refine the Chaos Red Fiery Stone first and boost his magical power!
