Chapter 58: Slow Down Time? I’ll Ask Third Senior Brother For You

　　Late at night, the sky was full of stars.

　　Xiao Muxue stood quietly on a cliff.

　　Using the moonlight as a source of light, she stared at the book in her hand with a frown.

　　“No, why is it so different from the books?”

　　Xiao Muxue looked at the book in her hand, and her eyes were filled with doubts.

　　The book was titled “Supreme Constitution Manual”

　　Xiao Muxue was completely confused.

　　She clearly perceived yesterday that Ye Ping’s constitution should be the Godfiend body.

　　However, when she checked the information about the Godfiend body, she was astonished.

　　The reason being, it was written in the book that the Godfiend body was ranked tenth on the constitution list and those who had the Godfiend body would have bodies that were stronger than dragons.

　　On the other hand, those in the Qi Refinement realm would be able to rip apart cultivators in the Foundation Establishment realm, and enjoy great vigor and longevity.

　　Ordinary Qi cultivators would have a limited lifespan of 200 years even if they knew how to lengthen their lifespans.

　　With the Ancient Godfiend body, one would be able to live to at least 500 years old.

　　However, it was written in the books that the Ancient Godfiend body would almost never happen to a human body. If it did, it would be extremely ugly as it would grow up to thirty feet tall at the age of ten and become as burly as a beast.

　　The Supreme Constitution Manual was written by a prestigious Dao Sect and the authenticity of it was not to be doubted.

　　However, the problem was that Ye Ping looked extremely weak and thin, which was completely different from what was recorded in the books.

　　Most importantly, the Godfiend body could not be cultivated as it was inherently meant to have no line of succession. The power of blood was their Dharmic power.

　　“Strange, that’s really strange.”

　　“Could it be that Little Junior Brother is not a Godfiend body? Did I see wrongly?”

　　Xiao Muxue frowned.

　　She examined Ye Ping’s body yesterday and indeed found that his body was very strong. He was full of vigor and his body was like that of a ferocious beast.

　　However, she also detected that Ye Ping had a spirit meridian, which was completely different from what was written in the book.

　　“Forget it, forget it, the more I think about it, the more my head hurts. Who cares what Little Junior Brother’s constitution is like? It’s a good thing anyway!”

　　Xiao Muxue took a sip of wine, not wanting to mull over it any longer.

　　“Let’s go see Little Junior Brother.”

　　In the next moment, Xiao Muxue started moving in a bid to go look for Ye Ping.

　　However, at this moment, a letter appeared at her feet.

　　The envelope seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

　　There was barely any fluctuation in her expression.

　　Instead, she waved her hand and the envelope appeared in her hand.

　　Xiao Muxue opened the envelope and looked at it with calmness in her beautiful eyes.

　　However, after a while, her brows furrowed slightly into a frown.

　　“Has the Godfiend Palace revived? Ah, after finally getting a few years of rest, it seems I have to get to work again. This damned Godfiend Palace. Of all times, you have to appear now.”

　　After reading the letter, Xiao Muxue couldn’t help but mutter to herself while the envelope in her hand flickered a little. It then vanished completely.

　　In the next moment, Xiao Muxue’s figure directly disappeared in the same place, as if it had never appeared there before.

　　At the same time, at the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect. as Ye Ping exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, he reached the second level of Qi Refinement.

　　Yes, Ye Ping had only spent six hours to advance from the first level of Qi Refinement to the second.

　　However, he was well aware that he managed to break through the realm so quickly, not because of his talent in cultivation but because of the two Immortal Apertures in his body.

　　Yes, it was because of the two Immortal Apertures.

　　Only when he really began to cultivate did Ye Ping understand how terrifying the two Immortal Apertures that he had opened were.

　　The two Immortal Apertures were like catalysts that continuously absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as he meditated and cultivated.

　　The speed of cultivation was tripled.

　　That was also the reason that Ye Ping managed to break through the first level in just three hours.

　　All of a sudden, he understood the importance of the Immortal Apertures.

　　He was excited and agitated because he had only opened two Immortal Apertures.

　　If he had opened 3,600 immortal nodes, he would have ascended.

　　Even if he opened ten Immortal Apertures, the results would be impressive.

　　The thought of a tenfold increase in cultivation speed alone was exciting.

　　However, Ye Ping soon realized a problem.

　　It was tricky.

　　The problem was time management.

　　There were 24 hours in a day. Even if he could not sleep and eat, he would only have 24 hours a day.

　　At present, he had to cultivate the Sword Dao as that was the foundation of his body and he could not waste it.

　　The Dao of Alchemy was a supportive technique, but Xu Luochen had told him that the ultimate Dao of Alchemy was not to be belittled.

　　After that, he had to spend time on basic cultivation. Meditation and Qi Refinement were the most important. Without the support of sufficient Dharmic powers, it would be useless even if he had a powerful sword technique.

　　Those three things had to be prioritized, but he also had to allocate his time well. He couldn’t be indecisive and spend two hours meditating and another two hours comprehending the Sword Dao.

　　Thinking of this, Ye Ping began to seriously allocate his time.

　　“Cultivation is the most important thing. No matter how powerful the sword technique is, it will still depend on cultivation level, so meditating for 12 hours a day is not excessive, right?”

　　“The Sword Dao is important too. In the future, I have to rely on my foundation to survive in the world of immortal cultivation. So spending at least four hours a day to comprehend the Sword Dao is not too much, right?”

　　“The technique of alchemy is very important too. The world is my furnace and when I move about in the future, I’ll definitely encounter some heavenly treasures, right? Spending four hours on it is not too much, right?”

　　Ye Ping drew up his schedule in his mind.

　　However, he managed to allocate the 24 hours of his day just like that.

　　Ye Ping was vexed.

　　The practice of cultivation, Dao of Alchemy, and Sword Dao alone would already take up 24 hours. What about the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique? What about the opening of his 3,600 Immortal Apertures?

　　‘These Senior Brothers are going to continue imparting other Dao to me in the future.’

　　‘I can’t turn 24 hours into 26 hours, can I?’

　　“Ah, at the end of the day, it’s all because of my poor aptitude. If I had better aptitude, I wouldn’t have to go through this trouble and I’d be able to comprehend the sword intent in just one day.”

　　“Ah, Ye Ping, why are you so useless?”

　　Ye Ping had complicated emotions.

　　It was late at night now.

　　There was no one around, so he stood up and looked towards the sky, his eyes full of melancholy.

　　However, there was only one advantage, and that was all three of the techniques, be it the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique, opening the 3,600 Immortal Apertures, or the Supreme Qi Refinement technique, could all be metamorphosed by absorbing spiritual energy.

　　Unfortunately, the only way for Ye Ping to obtain spiritual energy right now was to meditate and cultivate properly.

　　There was no way for him to practice the others.

　　If he had to insist, he could refine pills.

　　However, Ye Ping was clear that although he could definitely refine a pill in six to eight hours, the effects would be no different from cultivating for six to eight hours.

　　Since meditation would give the same amount of spiritual energy as refining pills, why would he bother refining pills for no reason?

　　“Forget it, forget it, don’t think much about it. We’ll take one step at a time. Once tomorrow arrives, we can go to the Sutra Pavilion to see if there are any books for solving this trouble.”

　　Ye Ping shook his head, thinking to himself that he would take it one step at a time.

　　If nothing else worked, he would go to Sutra Pavilion to find some relevant books.

　　For example, books for slowing down the passage of time.

　　Of course, that was only Ye Ping’s guess.

　　Just like that, eight hours passed.

　　With the complete opening of the third spirit meridian, Ye Ping reached the third level of Qi Refinement.

　　He opened his eyes.

　　The sky turned bright.

　　Ye Ping exhaled a breath of turbid air and then got up to go to the Sutra Pavilion.

　　He wanted to go to the Sutra Pavilion to look for some secret manuals and try to find some books related to time.

　　Several hours passed.

　　In the Sutra Pavilion.

　　Ye Ping looked through a lot of books, but there was none about time.

　　Ye Ping felt a little upset because of that.

　　However, after he thought about it carefully, he reckoned that things that involved time were naturally extremely extraordinary. Even if the Qingyun Dao Sect was a hidden sect, they couldn’t have placed such manuals in the Sutra Pavilion.

　　“Forget it, I’ll go ask Eldest Senior Brother later.”

　　Although he felt rather disappointed, Ye Ping was not in a hurry either. After all, it was just an idea of his and it was reasonable for there to be no such books.

　　Just as he was leaving the Sutra Pavilion, a figure appeared.

　　It was his little Junior Sister, Chen Lingrou.

　　Ye Ping was slightly surprised, but Chen Lingrou looked even more surprised than him.

　　“Greetings, Senior Sister Lingrou.”

　　Seeing Chen Lingrou, Ye Ping instantly bowed and seemed somewhat curious.

　　“It’s you, Little Junior Brother.”

　　For some reason, Chen Lingrou was in a pleasant mood when she saw Ye Ping.

　　“Little Junior Brother, what are you doing here?”

　　Chen Lingrou walked towards Ye Ping with joy all over her pretty face.

　　“I’m at the Sutra Pavilion to read some books and find some information.”

　　Ye Ping said truthfully.

　　“Read some books? What kind of information do you want to find? I’ll see if I can help you.”

　　Chen Lingrou looked extremely helpful.

　　“Senior Sister, here’s what happened. I’d like to see if there are any books related to time that may contain techniques for slowing down time.”

　　“However, none of the books I read contained any relevant information.”

　　Ye Ping answered.

　　After hearing his words, Chen Lingrou couldn’t help but frown.

　　‘Let time slow down a bit?’

　　‘What kind of Dharmic Dao is that?’

　　However, Chen Lingrou seemed to have thought of something quickly.

　　“I may not understand what you mean, but I remember Third Senior Brother mentioning some array formation that can slow down time. I don’t quite remember what it is, though. Little Junior Brother, come with me, I’ll take you to Third Senior Brother.”

　　Chen Lingrou answered.

　　Ye Ping was suddenly enlightened by her words.
