Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 742: Chapter 348: Slaughter Them!

The time span, that is, was different from the passage of time in the Physical World.

In the initial years following the outbreak of the Calamity, there was a significant time span within the Disaster Fog.

Those humans swallowed by the Disaster Fog first had spent a considerably long time within.

Among them, some had ascended to strength and fought against the Catastrophe Fog Master.

Some lost, and the Disaster Fog successfully transformed into the Forbidden Zone, like the Great Snow Mountain in the Heavenly Kingdom. That was the final battlefield where humans resisted the Disaster Fog.

Some won, slew the Catastrophe Fog Master, and brought their human compatriots back to the Physical World. For instance, the Old Mad King—many powerful humans had successively made sacrifices to buy him time for development.

After that, the time span gradually disappeared.

Even those wandering Disaster Fogs no longer had the ability to disturb the passage of time, only occasionally within some special topographies where there was a time span, but even that was slowly being assimilated by the time of the Physical World.

Today, this Beast Skin Paper had let Li Yelai see the emergence of a time span once again.

The outside world thought that those survivors had been trapped in the Immortal Palace for over sixty years, but in reality, they had been trapped for at least a hundred years.

Time could possibly be even longer!

Of course, it wasn’t ruled out that the day and night cycles inside the Immortal Palace were different from the outside world.

Li Yelai glanced at the night sky, which was very peculiar inside the Immortal Palace.

The vast starry sky was missing many stars, and at the same time, there was a huge moon emerging in the sky.

Li Yelai, on the ground, could see the giant circular mountains on that huge moon, along with several distinct cracks. There was a faint red glow emitting from within the cracks.

This appeared incredibly eerie, like a giant eye filled with blood vessels. Staying in this weird place for over a hundred years, one could hardly imagine…

“The Immortal Palace itself wanders within the Void Realm, perhaps that’s the reason.”

“Would that time span affect them?” Zi Tong asked.

“If there are no other dangers, it wouldn’t,” Li Yelai pondered and then explained, “Currently, we don’t know the time span inside the Immortal Palace compared to the Physical World. If it’s several times as much… they might have already stayed here for hundreds of years. The world changes, but people move on…”

“Hundreds of years?” Zi Tong pondered, “Captain, wouldn’t the Immortal Palace then be very suited for cultivating Spirit Plants?”

The cultivation of Spirit Plants was very meticulous, requiring suitable soil and environments, and had a long growth period.

Inside the Asian Headquarters of the Blood God Sect, Spirit Plants were being cultivated, but even with the assistance of prisoners from the Eternal Life Faction and many Chaos Rituals accelerating their growth, the yield was still alarmingly low. Without these, it would probably take decades for a Spirit Plant to bear fruit.

Giant City had also thought about cultivating Spirit Plants, like the Shatang Fruit and Dan Mu Fruit, for example. If they were planted in bulk, wouldn’t the Processor’s combat abilities soar?

If they had the Immortal Palace with its time span, just plant the seeds, and after a few years outside, more than a decade inside, they might be able to harvest.

“Yes, theoretically, it solves the problem of growth cycles. But if we leave people to guard them, those left behind would also have to endure a long time,” Li Yelai cautioned.

“Then… what if we leave those highly talented colleagues inside the Immortal Palace, equip them with Magic Potions, allowing them to grow safely—wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?” Zi Tong’s eyes sparkled, “Geniuses lack the time for growth, but within the Immortal Palace, they wouldn’t be threatened by the Forbidden Zones! By the time we open the Immortal Palace a few years later, we could harvest a group of Sixth-sense Experts!”

“There are too many uncertainties, the opening location of the Immortal Palace keeps changing. The Jing Family couldn’t open the Immortal Palace immediately before, and that was the reason. If something happens and they get trapped inside, that would be troublesome.”

“That’s true… if too much time passes, it could instead waste the geniuses’ talents.”

“Also, a few years’ time… You know about Ma Hongyi, right? He’s only twenty-six this year,” Li Yelai said, “For someone with his talent, even without entering the Immortal Palace, he could ascend to a Sixth-sense Expert within a few years.”

“You can’t ascend to an Overlord inside the Immortal Palace. Those without talent won’t reach Sixth Sense, and those with talent don’t lack the time,” Zi Tong regretfully clicked her tongue, “It’s a pity about this time span. If it could be utilized, our combat power would greatly increase.”

“But never mind, we can discuss this later, you have indeed accomplished a great feat,” Li Yelai pointed at the map on the Beast Skin Paper, “This can avoid many casualties.”

“But only we know about it,” Zi Tong said.

“I will do my best to disseminate this information,” Li Yelai responded and then picked up the Beast Skin Paper, “Meanwhile, this gives us direction for our future actions.”

“Are you referring to the Divine Treasure Vault of Changle Immortal?” Zi Tong asked.

“Correct, compared to other dangerous palaces, this is much safer,” Li Yelai’s gaze swept over the palaces on the map, which were marked as very dangerous.

Especially certain palaces, described as deathtraps.

Survivors who had lived here for many generations referred to them as such, attesting to their peril.

These were not places that Li Yelai and his group could adventure today.

But the Divine Treasure Vault was different. According to the tips, you only had to deal damage there.

Regardless of the level, everyone would get their respective rewards, which really suited the whimsical nature of Changle Immortal.

If he were alive, he would probably watch the Spiritual Ability Users rack their brains on how to improve their output, strive for the highest damage, and get the best rewards they could achieve, all the while sneaking peeks and chuckling. It was somewhat similar to the Deceit Dao… but it seemed not as malicious.
