Although Cheng Pan has been promoted to the golden elixir realm, and his strength far exceeds that of ordinary golden elixir masters. However, Ye Zan is not afraid of encountering the opponent in the space of the stone ball, unless the opponent has already controlled the stone ball. However, judging from the situation in this space, Ye Zan can be sure that the opponent does not control the stone ball.
Therefore, Ye Zan stopped Qi Qianjun and waited for Cheng Pan's arrival in space.
However, when Cheng Pan arrived next to the stone ball, he did not directly enter the space of the stone ball like Ye Zan did. Instead, he sent a golden elixir in his hand into the stone ball.
Yes, Cheng Pan's plan is obviously the same as Ye Zan's, he wants to feed the stone ball and gain control over it. However, Cheng Pan had no place to find so many spiritual stones, so he focused on these golden elixir masters who entered the restricted area.
The golden elixir of the golden elixir master is of course different from the spiritual stone, but they are essentially a polymer of some kind of energy. And this stone ball is not picky about food, it can absorb almost any energy, even a little bit of spiritual energy attached to ordinary items, let alone a golden elixir that is no worse than the best spiritual stone.
The golden elixir in Cheng Pan's hand was not just the four he dug up just now. You know, before he went around attacking and killing people from various sects. Although some were run away, he also killed a lot of golden elixir masters. Therefore, after the four golden elixirs, he touched the Qiankun Ring, and some more golden elixirs appeared in his hand, and then continued to feed the stone balls.
Ye Zan did not see the appearance of those golden elixirs in the stone ball. They should obviously be in other places. Although the space in this stone ball is extremely huge, it cannot be called vast. Instead, it is composed of countless passages or caves. For example, in the passage where Ye Zan was at this time, there might be countless criss-crossing passages up, down, left, and right across the cave wall.
Therefore, if one does not fully control the stone ball, no one can know which channel the things they send in will appear in.
However, Ye Zan was not anxious at all about what Cheng Pan had done, and instead showed a bit of joy on his face. He was worried that there was nothing here so he could continue feeding the stone balls. Unexpectedly, Cheng Pan came to do good deeds.
Of course, Ye Zan would not wait for Cheng Pan to feed the stone ball and then gain control of the stone ball, otherwise he would be unlucky here.
So, what else can I use here? Ye Zan suddenly thought of the evil beads he got from Tiandao Mountain, especially the monarch-level evil beads among them.
You must know that the evil spirit monarch is an existence that can compete with the giant of Dharma. If it weren't for the effect of the Forest of Steles formation, Dao Lord Linghua might not be able to kill it so easily.
The energy contained in such a monarch-level evil bead is definitely not comparable to a few top-quality spiritual stones or a few small golden elixirs.
However, Ye Zan was somewhat hesitant about whether to use it here. After all, the monarch-level evil bead can be called a rare treasure. It is a pity to use it as an energy source.
However, thinking of the benefits that obtaining this stone ball would bring to him, Ye Zan finally bit his teeth and took out the monarch-level evil bead.
If it was just to raise Zerg, Ye Zan wouldn't have to venture into the restricted area at all. The original space of the strange stone would be enough. What he values is actually the time acceleration function of the strange stone space, which is a function that many cave magic weapons may not have.
However, at that time, Ye Zan could not enter the strange stone space at all, and naturally could not practice in the strange stone space, nor could he enjoy the benefits of time acceleration.
But now it's different. Since Ye Zan has entered this space, it means that if time accelerates in this space, it will have an effect on him. In other words, when there is ten times the time acceleration in the space, if he practices for ten days inside, only one day will pass outside. This is of great benefit to him, or to any practitioner.
Of course, there is a problem with time acceleration, and that is the impact on lifespan. However, for many practitioners, as long as they have enough qualifications and can advance from realm to realm, their life span will continue to increase. Not to mention the existence of Tongtian Supreme, who stands at the pinnacle of the great road and has an endless lifespan, even a golden elixir master has a lifespan of at least hundreds of years.
If a person cannot advance even if his lifespan is exhausted during this acceleration of time, then there is no need to use this time to accelerate. And even at the last moment, such as being promoted from the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm, your lifespan will immediately increase by thousands of years, and the previous efforts will naturally be nothing.
Ye Zan took out the monarch-level evil bead. The evil bead floated into the air and burst out with extremely dazzling light, as if a small sun had risen in the passage. Ye Zan could clearly detect that the energy in the evil beads was being absorbed in large amounts and quickly by this space. Even the stone walls on the left and right sides of the passage seemed to be nourished by energy and became as warm and moist as jade.
Outside, after Cheng Pan put all the golden elixirs into the stone balls, demon corpses soon killed several golden elixir masters and sent the dug out golden elixirs over.
The White Bone Sect, Hundred Ghost Sect, and others, as well as Qi Qianjun and several members of the Demon Clan, have all been forced together by the demon corpse. Zong Tianjiao no longer fights the demon corpse alone, but retreats to the team to join forces with others to fight against the powerful enemy.
And those demonic corpses were really like demons, surrounding everyone and launching attacks continuously, with extremely ferocious and cruel attacks. Moreover, these demon corpses are powerful, but they are just like those monsters, completely disregarding their own safety.
Regardless of one's own safety, this is the most terrifying thing! When a weak opponent is strong, "fighting like hell" is often a very effective strategy. The real ancestor of Nascent Soul would not be willing to die together with a golden elixir master, nor would he even be willing to pay a high price. But these demon corpses don't have those thoughts. If you fight hard, they will fight with you, without considering any gains and losses, or whether it's worth it.
Therefore, after a hard fight, the number of people in several sects became less and less, and despair showed on everyone's face.
At this time, after Cheng Pan fed the golden elixir to the stone ball again, the stone ball suddenly changed. Judging from the appearance of the stone ball, the countless cracks all over the place began to gradually close up at a speed visible to the naked eye. First there were the tiniest cracks, and then a few of the largest cracks were left, slowly closing up as if time had gone backwards.
Seeing this change, Cheng Pan's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he had already concluded in his heart that this was obviously because of the golden elixirs he had fed.
Until now, Cheng Pan didn't know that Ye Zan had entered the stone ball before him.
Soon, all the cracks on the stone ball disappeared, and there seemed to be no trace at all on the outside. At the same time, there was light coming out, and under the light, the texture of the stone ball also began to change. Gradually, the stone ball became like a jade carving, and no longer had the gray appearance before.
Finally, this stone ball was no longer a stone ball. It floated there, emitting a faint and gentle light, just like the moon reflected in the water.
"Haha, it seems this method is really effective!" Cheng Pan said with a smile, his tone showing great pride.
As for Ye Zan, he saw that the monarch-level evil bead was getting dimmer and dimmer in mid-air, and the energy fluctuations it emitted were getting weaker and weaker.
Suddenly, Ye Zan jumped up, stretched out his hand to grab the evil bead, and stuffed it back into his Qiankun Ring. He had already felt that this space seemed to be connected to his mind, and the spiritual energy in it had reached a very high level. However, in the space, the flow rate of time has not changed, not because there is not enough spiritual energy, but because it has become able to be controlled by him.
In other words, the flow rate of time in space no longer needs to be adjusted by the amount of spiritual energy. Ye Zan only needs a thought to make the flow of time in space faster or slower, or to keep in sync with the outside world.
It is indeed a complete product, much better than the defective product before!
The defective product from before had enough spiritual energy to automatically speed up the flow of time. If the spiritual energy can be accelerated several times, it will be accelerated several times, consuming a large amount of spiritual energy. Until he could no longer maintain the acceleration of time and began to enter a state of hunger again, requiring Ye Zan to replenish his spiritual energy.
But now, this complete product, no matter how abundant the spiritual energy is in it, Ye Zan does not need it to accelerate, it will not consume a lot of spiritual energy to accelerate time. When you need to accelerate time, you can control it as many times as you want. You won't directly accelerate it a hundred times just because you have enough spiritual energy.
However, through the electronic fly, Ye Zan has also seen the scene outside and knows that now is not the time to be silly. Moreover, if there is no way to get rid of Cheng Pan, then he does not really get the stone ball.
But what to do? With his current strength, Ye Zan is at a loss against Cheng Pan, let alone those Nascent Soul-level demonic corpses. It can be said that judging from the external situation, even if he goes out now, with his strength, he will basically not be able to make a comeback.
The nuclear bomb is quite powerful and should be able to destroy those demon corpses. But if a nuclear bomb were dropped here, not to mention what would happen to Qi Qianjun and the others, even this stone ball might not be able to withstand it, and they would really die together.
So, what if I advance to the Golden Core Realm? Ye Zan took out the One-Qi Hunyuan Golden Pill that he got at the Alchemy Conference.
This Qi Hunyuan golden elixir is the best elixir for elixir cultivation, but it is also the best elixir for improving cultivation. Ye Zan himself is already in the late stage of foundation building. Although the thirty-sixth level Taoist foundation has a great need for true energy, using this Qi Hunyuan Golden Pill should be enough to achieve the foundation building perfection.
The completion of the foundation building realm means that you can retreat to the golden elixir realm. However, reaching the realm of golden elixir cannot be accomplished in an instant, and often requires a long period of retreat.
But what is this place? This can speed up the flow of time! (To be continued.)
