Chapter 499: Manipulating Time
Du Guqiu sensed something was wrong. Logically speaking, he should have shaken off those people, so why were they still relentlessly pursuing him?
Zhang Chen pointed to Cheng Yu, who was in a state of unconsciousness: "Huang Tiandao has tampered with this girl. Huang Tiandao must be using this to track us down."
Du Guqiu turned his head to look at Cheng Yu for a moment, seemingly noticing something amiss, and then said: "So that's how it is. Huang Tiandao actually anchored this girl's soul, and they can track her trajectory based on her soul."
"Godfather, can you break Huang Tiandao's supernatural power?" Zhang Chen asked.
Du Guqiu shook his head: "Unless we destroy the tracking treasure, we can't break this method. This girl can be personally chased by Huang Tiandao's Yang God Great Perfection, even to the point of inviting a Great Demon King to take action. Her identity is not simple."
Facing Du Guqiu's probing, Zhang Chen said in a deep voice: "I don't care what methods Huang Tiandao has, what calculations they have made on this girl, or what layout they have on her. She will always be my sister. Even if I die and my Dao disappears, I will never hand her over to Huang Tiandao."
Hearing this, Du Guqiu not only did not object, but instead patted Zhang Chen's shoulder with great relief: "You are a good man. I didn't misjudge you! You don't have to worry. Although I don't have the ability to break this method, I do have a plan to deceive the heavens."
After saying that, Du Guqiu tore off a strand of Cheng Yu's hair, then grabbed a handful of straw and wove the straw into a straw man. Then, he stuffed the strand of hair into the straw man's body. Then, Du Guqiu used some unknown method, and a Xu Erniu aura actually flowed out of the straw man's body, while Xu Erniu's aura disappeared completely.
"I will use this straw man to deceive the heavens and lead those people away. You take her and hide well, and quietly leave the Northern Territory," Du Guqiu said. "In the future, as long as she doesn't encounter Huang Tiandao's people head-on, and Huang Tiandao's people don't see Xu Erniu face-to-face, this method can permanently deceive them. Unless the Great Virtuous Teacher within Huang Tiandao personally takes action to break my method of concealing aura, otherwise those few trash fish from Huang Tiandao will not be able to see through my methods."
Speaking of this, Du Guqiu said to Zhang Chen: "I will wait for you in the capital. Remember to come!"
After saying that, Du Guqiu turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the heavens and earth.
Watching Du Guqiu's disappearing back, Zhang Chen stood there for a long time without saying a word. A strange feeling arose in his heart towards this old eunuch. That feeling was very complicated, and a hundred kinds of emotions surged into his heart at once.
"Let's leave the Northern Territory first," Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Shi, who was full of panic, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, everything is over. As long as I am here, nothing will happen to you."
"I'm not worried about my own life. I'm just a mountain peasant woman who has lived the life of a wealthy family for two years and enjoyed countless glory and wealth. Even if I die now, I'm not afraid. I'm just worried about you brothers. You are still young, so there must be no mistakes," Zhang Shi said.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen smiled, comforted Zhang Shi, and then used his Beast Controlling Technique to capture two donkeys, carrying the three little ones back to the cave.
As for why he returned to the cave? It was because there were countless books in the cave, as well as that huge piece of Earth Magnetite.
Of course, the most important thing was that the most dangerous place was the safest place. He wanted to hide here for a while, and then set off after Huang Tiandao gave up searching for him and others.
Now Huang Tiandao's experts have all been attracted by the old eunuch, and Gu Mingyue has personally explored this place. Huang Tiandao's people will not come here again.
Now the Northern Territory demon race is sorting out the flood, blocking the Northern Territory checkpoints, and trying to lock up the Northern Territory people. They are searching for the human race on a large scale. It would be too eye-catching for Zhang Chen to go out at this time.
The most important thing is that Zhang Chen couldn't easily take away that large piece of Earth Magnetite. This thing was too eye-catching and attracted ironware everywhere. A little carelessness would cause big trouble.
Zhang Chen was about to use this time to finish reading the books wrapped in the Earth Magnetite and memorize all the contents in his mind, which was better than transporting them all the way.
"Why are we back here again? What if those people return to search again? Wouldn't that block us?" Zhang Shi followed behind Zhang Chen, her heart pounding up and down, her eyes full of anxiety.
"Don't worry, with me here, even if those people return, I will cover it up. We still have to hide here for a while, and then find a chance to leave the Northern Territory when the situation outside is more stable," Zhang Chen vowed.
Zhang Shi was helpless. Although she was frightened, she could only choose to follow Zhang Chen. In such a chaotic world, where did she, a woman, have room to choose?
However, Zhang Chen was not the kind of reckless person. He disguised the stone cave again, and opened up five rooms and one hall under the stone cave, with a bathroom, a bedroom, and a place for making fire. As for the ventilation problem, it was not difficult for Zhang Chen. With a thought, there were thousands of holes like wormholes, enough to keep the basement ventilated.
As for the darkness and coldness of the underground, Zhang Chen also took it into consideration, and directly found the dead tree and lit a bonfire in the basement.
As for the daily diet, it was not difficult. There were monsters everywhere in this mountain. Just grab one and you can eat it for seven or eight days. As for the water source, Zhang Chen could bring in spring water from the opened underground with a thought, which was more than enough for a family to drink.
After Zhang Chen collected enough firewood, he moved his family to the basement, and then manipulated the Earth Authority to smooth all the passages and restore them to the shape of a cliff. The family lived underground like giant rats.
Zhang Shi's daily task was to take care of the three little ones and wait for them to wake up, while Zhang Chen came to his room alone, summoned the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, and wanted to determine the old eunuch's location to see if the old eunuch was with the Longevity Tree Coffin. He was now in urgent need of lifespan and needed the Longevity Tree Coffin to extend his life.
As the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror opened, the picture on the mirror flashed, and Du Guqiu had already appeared in a palace. The palace was surrounded by purple air. Zhang Chen's Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror picture flashed, and then he saw the purple air fluctuate, and actually interrupted Zhang Chen's Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror monitoring.
"That is the Qi Luck of Humanity! Such a strong Dragon Qi, even the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror cannot see through it. I am afraid that the only place in the world with such rich Dragon Qi is the center of the human race," a thought flashed in Zhang Chen's mind.
"Du Guqiu must have returned to the palace. Could it be that the Longevity Tree Coffin has already been transported out by him?" Zhang Chen was a little disappointed. Losing the Longevity Tree Coffin, he could only pin his hopes of extending his life on his own Wood Authority.
"I only hope that the Wood Authority is strong enough, otherwise I will be in big trouble. After all, spiritual objects that can extend lifespan are rare in the world," Zhang Chen muttered, then put away the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, and took out the Ascension Pool from the Bashe space.
The current Ascension Pool has a myriad of phenomena. The entire Ascension Pool has emerald green light flowing, and the sapling of the Tongtian Jianmu is constantly swallowing and spitting out the Qi in the void, transforming it into a stream of Innate Yuan Qi for the Ascension Pool to absorb, but the amount of Innate Yuan Qi is too small.
"I wonder if I can accumulate ten years of Innate Qi by using ten years of Time Acceleration on the Jianmu sapling. If I can do that, then I will make a big profit," Zhang Chen had some small expectations in his heart.
Zhang Chen glanced at the Ascension Pool, and then looked at the sapling of the Tongtian Jianmu. The next moment, he pointed at the sapling of the Tongtian Jianmu, and then a strange force flowed out of Zhang Chen's body and landed on the Jianmu sapling.
Time flies, ten years in a blink of an eye. The Jianmu sapling is still the same, as if nothing has changed.
As for accumulating ten years of Innate Yuan Qi as Zhang Chen expected, that was even more impossible. After all, the power of time increases time, not external things such as Dao cultivation.
If it were as Zhang Chen expected, wouldn't Zhang Chen directly help people increase their cultivation by ten years by using the Time Divine Power on people? Increase the results of ten years of hard work? At that time, not to mention turning people into withered bones, but instead becoming a fool who subsidizes his opponents.
The effect of time only acts on itself, and those attached things are completely wishful thinking.
Zhang Chen retracted his finger, and his eyes looked at the Tongtian Jianmu sapling. Seeing that the sapling had not changed at all, he couldn't help but start to doubt his life: "Was the thing I just activated the power of time?"
Looking at the Jianmu sapling that had not changed, he began to doubt his own power of time!
"Damn, how did you kid master the forbidden power of time?" Just when Zhang Chen was staring at the Jianmu sapling, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon jumped out of Zhang Chen's body, looking at Zhang Chen with a face full of horror, his eyes full of disbelief.
That is the Law of Time, that is the power of taboo!
What did he just see? Zhang Chen actually moved the power of time?
He has been by this kid's side all the time. When did he master the power of time?
The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon looked Zhang Chen up and down, his eyes full of suspicion, his eyes full of horror: "Damn it, it's really scary! Even those old guys who have lived for countless years, the great powers standing at the top of the world, don't have the power to manipulate time, right?"
"You saw it?" Zhang Chen turned his head and glanced at the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.
"I'm not blind! When did you master the power of time? Who are you, that you can even master the power of time?" The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon stared at Zhang Chen with his eyes, his eyes full of shock.
It was too creepy, this was the power of time!
This kid's identity is definitely unusual! He must be the reincarnation of some unknown existence beyond his imagination, otherwise how could ordinary creatures have this ability?
He is now more and more suspicious of Zhang Chen's identity. This kid's identity definitely has a big problem. Even his deadly enemy back then was not worthy of touching the power of time.
