King Time

A place surrounded by fog

The old man named 'Brother Hu' fell silent for a moment after hearing this question.

Although his facial features were still blurry and one could not see the look in his eyes, he still could not hide his hands that suddenly started shaking, as various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Looking at the old man next to him, 'Brother Hu' replied in an uncertain voice

'' I'm ... don't think so. After all, the ruler of the 4th palace would never allow it...''

The two old men instantly fell silent, as their eyes looked at the sky in front of them which had already started to turn red.

The cries of pain, ecstasy, zeal, unwillingness, along with many mixed feelings filled the ears of the 2 old men, whom they witnessed a terrifying sight that unfolded before them with extremely calm eyes.

It seemed that the slaughter before their eyes was unable to move the 2 old men in the slightest.

At the same time, returning to the King's courtyard inside his room, Shun Long explained to Liu Mei that his departure just now was related to his cultivation technique.

Liu Mei nodded her head without saying anything more, as she sat on the white meditation pillow and circulated Moonlight Sigil, absorbing the moonlight within her body.

Opening his eyes lightly, he glanced at Shun Long who was still inside the room with a smile, before he swallowed a top grade 3 'Burning blood pill.

Seeing that everything was fine with Liu Mei's cultivation, Shun Long sat cross-legged on the black pillow, as he once again sent his spiritual power into the 'Time Stone'.

It seemed that his mind could still fit into the space where the little Black was sleeping, before his consciousness returned to his body.

After taking a deep breath, Shun Long imagined being in a small space surrounded by fog, when his body suddenly disappeared from the room.

Looking at the grass he was sitting on now, as well as the white mist around him, Shun Long muttered to himself.

''This is really related to 'Time Stone!'''

With a single thought, he then imagined leaving this space, as his body returned to his room, where Liu Mei was still absorbing the 'blood burning pill'.

After making sure that he could come and go to the space surrounded by mist at will, Shun Long's nerves relaxed slightly, as the shadow of the gigantic palace once again appeared in his mind.

Shun Long had no idea what the palace was, or how the palace was connected to the 'Time Stone', but even after trying for a while, he was unable to return there.

''It looks like the 'Time Stone' holds more secrets in it.''

Indeed, once he entered this space once more, Shun Long verified that the flow of time here was roughly 10 times faster than the outside world.

Closing his eyes, Shun Long sent out his spiritual power in his spiritual space, inside the 'Time Stone', as he dragged out the 'Heaven swallowed wine' from the herb garden, and brought it to this place.

The vine absorbed the spirit stones like crazy, as it produced more qi for Shun Long.

Absorbing the pure qi around him, Shun Long started making another qi ball in his right hand.

3 hours later, a clean white qi ball, which was almost identical to the one inside 'The Sand King's Clock' appeared in Shun Long's hands.

Grabbing the qi ball with both hands, Shun Long pushed it upwards, towards the small hole above his head. A few minutes later, an explosive sound rang out, as 2 white balls of qi were now floating inside the 'Sand King's Hour'.

Shun Long did not rest after seeing that he had managed to create another qi ball. Instead, he continued to absorb the qi from 'Heaven swallowed wine' at a faster rate than before.

10 Days had immediately passed like this, until Shun Long stopped his cultivation.

He had spent over 40,000 spirit stones, but his cultivation had reached the peak of rank 1 in the Heaven class.

As Shun Long imagined leaving this space surrounded by fog, his body immediately returned to his room.

Although 10 days had passed for Shun Long while he was cultivating, it was only one day for Liu Mei inside the room.

There were only a few hours left until the sun set in the Silver sword city.

Seeing Shun Long appear inside the room, a sweet smile adorned Liu Mei's face.

Shun Long's eyes widened slightly, as he saw that Liu Mei had reached the early 2nd rank in Heaven grade, in just one night. It seemed like the result of a low-level Saint Moonlight Sigil, combined with a top-tier 3rd rank 'Burning Blood Pill' was even better than he had thought before.

''Meier, good job!''

Yet Liu Mei was even more shocked than Shun Long, when he saw that he had reached the top of 1st rank in the Heaven class 'in just one day'.

''L-Long-ge!''

Shun Long smiled brightly at Liu Mei, before he lifted her into his arms and carried her straight to the bed, as they engaged in a 'difficult cultivation' round'.

Half a month quickly passed like this for Liu Mei, but almost half a year had passed for Shun Long. 'At noon' he would either cultivate inside a special place surrounded by fog, or he would try to gain a deeper understanding of the Dao of Time or the Dao of Space. Of course, he would also spend time refining pills for himself and Liu Mei as well.

Finally, a small purple vortex appeared above Shun Long and Liu Mei's room, as Shun Long's body which was still inside the foggy place, now began to glow with a strong purple-colored light.
