Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Time Tower
"If such a treasure really exists, their cultivation could advance rapidly in a short period, and they would then be able to protect the family!"
After everyone had left, Xian Yuanshan turned to the elder, giving him a thumbs-up. He said, "Elder, your acting was so convincing! You even made yourself vomit blood?"
The elder smiled and shook his head. "There was no other way. We need them to live humbly and train diligently. If these youngsters knew the patriarch had a way for us to reach the level of Great Emperor, it might destroy them in the future."
The elder sighed deeply. He knew that he and the other older generation members no longer had the potential to reach the rank of Great Emperor. However, individuals like Xian Yin, Xian Lang, and the others had the ability and potential to achieve that level through their own efforts. How could they not be motivated?
"That said, the Time Tower created by the patriarch will definitely save them a lot of time. Honestly, if Xian Yin and the others spend enough time in the Time Tower, they could become Great Emperors in a much shorter period."
The thought of such a treasure filled the two of them with awe. The Time Tower's time-accelerating capabilities were beyond belief—it could indeed become the family's ultimate legacy!
Meanwhile, Xian Yin and the others had arrived at the training grounds in the city, where the spiritual energy was particularly abundant. The air itself was thick with spiritual mist, so much so that walking through it felt like traversing a dream-like fairyland.
Before long, they reached a golden, nine-story tower where the fourth elder, Xian Yun, sat awaiting them.
"It seems you've heard about this place already?" Xian Yun asked, his gaze sweeping over the group.
"Yes, Fourth Elder. We just heard from the Second Elder that this place can significantly accelerate our cultivation. Is it true?" Xian Yin asked eagerly.
Xian Yun gave a small chuckle. "If the patriarch designed this place, what do you think?"
Xian Yin nodded, but Xian Lang remained curious. "Since it's the patriarch's creation, it must be true. But how can this towering structure help us save so much time?"
Xian Yun glanced at the towering golden building and explained, "The principle behind it is actually quite simple. The flow of time inside the Time Tower is vastly different from the outside world. For example, on the first floor, for every year that passes outside, a thousand years will pass inside. On the second floor, it's even more exaggerated—one year outside equals ten thousand years inside..."
As Xian Yun spoke, the entire group stood in shock. They looked at the elder as though they'd just heard the impossible.
Seeing their disbelief, Xian Yun continued, "You don't have to look so shocked. Honestly, when the patriarch told us about this treasure, none of us could believe it either. But since it came directly from him, we had no choice but to accept it."
He gave a satisfied nod. The expression on their faces reminded him of the elders' reactions when they first learned about the Time Tower's functions. Back then, the patriarch had also called the Time Tower a Supreme Divine Weapon. While they didn't fully understand what that meant, they knew one thing—the artifact's power was unmatched.
"Fourth Elder, what are we waiting for? Let us in so we can start cultivating!" Xian Yin and the others were bursting with impatience. With their talent, spending just one year in the Time Tower could push them to unimaginable heights. Could they reach the Supreme level? Quasi-Emperor? Or even the Great Emperor?
Xian Lang and the others felt their hearts racing at the thought.
But Xian Yun sighed, rolling his eyes at their enthusiasm. "You're eager, but do you have any idea how many spiritual stones it takes to activate just the first level of the Time Tower for one day? Five hundred million flawless spiritual stones. Do you even understand what that means?"
"Five hundred million?" Xian Tian's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard.
Currently, their monthly resources barely amounted to a handful of flawless spiritual stones, yet activating the Time Tower for a single day required 500 million?
That was more wealth than their entire family had seen in decades!
As Xian Tian processed this information, he did some quick mental calculations. "Five hundred million flawless spiritual stones would buy us nearly three years of external time, which equates to thousands of years inside the tower. But the cost is too steep!"
He couldn't help but wonder whether the family even possessed such a vast quantity of flawless spiritual stones.
"So... does that mean the Time Tower is just a decoration?" Xian Yin groaned, feeling dejected at the thought that such a valuable treasure couldn't even be used.
"The patriarch is working on a solution," Xian Yun reassured them. "You won't need to worry about the spiritual stones, but I'll be clear—you won't be able to use this place for free."
"What do we need to do to gain access?" Xian Yin asked quickly.
"The family has already announced a contribution point system. One hundred contribution points will allow you to cultivate inside the Time Tower for one day, which equals three years of internal time. One hundred points isn't that difficult to earn."
"One hundred points?" The group was stunned. Contribution points had been implemented in the family recently, but many hadn't paid much attention to it.
With the introduction of the new system, the family had started regulating how resources were distributed among members, ensuring that the resources provided every month covered only 60-70% of cultivation needs. To obtain the remaining resources, one had to contribute to the family through various tasks. It was a fair system designed to prevent stagnation in the clan's growth.
Many family members had already begun taking on tasks from family branches to accumulate contribution points. Now, hearing that just one hundred points would grant access to the Time Tower, Xian Yin and the others could barely contain their excitement. They immediately rushed toward the family mission hall, determined to earn points as quickly as possible to access the Time Tower.
However, Xian Tian didn't join the mad dash. Instead, he quietly handed his contribution token to the fourth elder. "Elder, I already have more than one hundred contribution points. Can I enter the Time Tower now?"
Among the family, Xian Tian was known for being the most diligent in completing tasks. Ever since the contribution system had been introduced, he had regularly taken on missions, often at the expense of his personal training time. However, the experience he gained from fighting monsters had strengthened his combat abilities and laid a solid foundation for his future cultivation.
Xian Yun gave him a nod. "Very well. After entering, you can find a room to cultivate in. When your time is up, the tower will alert you."
The contribution point system was an idea created by Xian Yun and the other elders. Their goal was to encourage family members to actively participate in tasks and gain real-world experience instead of staying locked up in secluded training all the time. Cultivating behind closed doors, after all, could only take one so far.
As Xian Tian entered the Time Tower, Xian Yun reflected on how much effort had gone into maintaining this treasure. Few forces in the world could sustain the use of such a powerful artifact—especially one like the Xian family, who had access to such resources because of the patriarch's contributions.
With every sign-in to the system, Xian Yue received massive quantities of spiritual stones, immortal crystals, and divine crystals, in the hundreds of millions. He had accumulated so much that even if the first floor of the Time Tower were opened continuously for several years, they still wouldn't run out of resources.
Xian Tian, elated by the opportunity, wasted no time and eagerly entered the Time Tower.
