Chapter 187 Time Slowly Passing and Cultivation [Subscription Request]
Angira Lord was still dressed like an old woman.
She bowed slightly and reported the progress of various preparatory work.
"Well, the modified magic gathering circle can last for two or three water clocks."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and took the space storage ring handed over by Anqila.
What is the most scarce thing in the face of the magic disaster?
Of course it is time!
But Chen Xuan had a bold idea. He wanted to take this opportunity to gain the final enhancement for himself!
With a wave of his hand, he took Anqila into the Mage Tower.
This place is even bigger than he imagined.
The master and servant came directly to a quiet room on the fifth floor of the tower.
The area of this hall is comparable to the auditorium of Blue Star Middle School.
Originally a place for spellcasters to collectively comprehend magic, it has now been transformed into an independent practice room.
On the ground on the right side of the hall, there is a magic circle with a diameter of about one meter.
This magic circle is like a finely carved disc, with various grooves and intricate conductive patterns.
There are also several magic energy blowers placed around.
"Master, this is the main body of one of the magic arrays."
"You only need to install the magic core, and you can increase the concentration of free magic through the magic array."
Anqila introduced again that there were no outsiders here, only the two of them,
"Then it's up to you to guard it for me next."
"The process won't take too long, at most two water clocks."
Chen Xuan turned around and instructed, and then walked towards the magic array.
Fill the magic cores in the grooves one by one.
I saw that the magic cores were visibly white, and the magic power in them was quickly absorbed by the magic array and turned into useless empty cores.
The rune channels on the surface of the magic array gradually lit up with milky white light, until the entire array plate was shining with white light. Chen Xuan swept away the empty cores in the grooves and put in the magic cores again for backup.
In this way, the high energy consumption can be maintained for about two water clocks.
After finishing the preparations, Chen Xuan sat cross-legged and came to a place more than ten meters away on the left side of the magic circle.
Then he nodded to Ahn'Qiraj who was guarding farther away.
After confirming that the preparations were in place, Chen Xuan's mind moved and he directly activated [Time Slows Down]!
"Buzz!"
The buzzing sound like a trembling bee flashed by, and the space rippled with circles of invisible ripples.
With Chen Xuan as the center, a layer of light gray light shield appeared within a radius of ten meters.
Through this semi-transparent light shield, Ahn'Qiraj saw an unforgettable scene.
Chen Xuan in the light shield, every move was accelerated by 1200 times!
This made almost all his movements leave afterimages.
Even if Ahn'Qiraj activated his super sense and strengthened his eyesight, he could not see clearly.
One second in the outside world is equivalent to 20 minutes in the field of [Time Slows Down].
Ripples were rippling on the surface of the gray light shield, and the mysterious power was offsetting the tearing effect caused by the difference in the speed of time.
Chen Xuan, who was in the time-delayed field, saw a completely different situation from the outside.
Sitting on the periphery of the field, Ahn'Qiraj Lord's actions were slowed down by 1,200 times.
It seemed that time was almost stagnant. When he used his vision to capture it, he could even clearly see that the dust floating in the quiet room seemed to be still.
"It's really interesting."
"The law of time is worthy of being the original rule for building the world."
"Time and space can create countless miracles."
After sighing softly, Chen Xuan did not waste time. He immediately closed his eyes and entered the state of magic element cultivation.
The modified energy-gathering magic array also began to work.
The magic power charged with the magic core was just a trigger.
Its working principle is to attract and absorb the surrounding free magic power and gather it into the designated area.
The modified energy-gathering array can output a maximum of 370 times the magic power increase.
The induction range reaches a radius of three kilometers, and the gathering range is the entire secret room.
It is equivalent to attracting the magic power within the surrounding three kilometers to here in real time.
The amount of magic power it can eventually gather is definitely an astronomical figure.
Chen Xuan deliberately placed the magic gathering array outside the realm of [Time Slows Down].
Otherwise, the magic array will be subject to a 1,200-fold increase in time.
This will not only cause it to collapse prematurely, but will also cause the free magic power within the range to be drained in a short period of time, which is not in line with his subsequent arrangements.
After the 370-fold increase in magic power concentration was diluted by the time difference, it was barely able to meet Chen Xuan's cultivation needs. After all, the main focus of this wave is a long-term flow.
He has 1,200 times more time than the outside world, so it doesn't matter if he slows down his cultivation by several times.
As a price, this third-level magic gathering array, which could have been used for a long time, will be scrapped in advance.
This kind of magic array is expensive to make. Only the magic pattern workshops in the giant cities of various places have the ability to produce it, and the output is not high. For example, the third-level magic gathering array is basically sold for more than 700,000 crowns.
The training room in Bangcheng will charge adventurers and mercenaries by time, and will only open a three to four times increase in magic concentration to reduce the loss of the magic circle.
No one will be like Chen Xuan, who will do all the work to improve the magic circle.
You have to know that everyone's efficiency in refining magic power is limited.
When the magic concentration does not exceed four times, it will benefit the practitioners the most.
After all, not everyone is like Chen Xuan, who can extend the time axis within a range.
Even if the magic concentration is increased by 370 times, it will not be wasted, but it will be a bit stretched.
Moreover, the modified magic gathering array can only be used for two or three water clocks for outsiders.
But for Chen Xuan, this value has to be multiplied by 1200 times!
...
[Time Slows Down] plus the modified magic gathering array has bought Chen Xuan time for cultivation.
At present, his magic element cultivation level has reached the silver level.
And the mental meditation method has just broken through the bronze level.
This means that Chen Xuan can only practice those second-level magic at most.
So his first task now is to make up for the shortcomings of the mental meditation method!
In order to maximize the efficiency of cultivation, he still adopted the previous alternating cultivation method.
That is, practice four water clocks of magic elements, wait until the spirit is exhausted, and then practice three water clocks of mental meditation method, so as to form a "perpetual motion" cycle of cultivation.
In addition to the magic gathering array, Chen Xuan also took out three first-level magic seeds to assist in cultivation.
In this way, he can reach half of the cultivation speed under the same conditions in the outside world.
However, in the domain of [Time Slows Down], the formation of three magic seeds in each round can only last for more than 30 water clocks, and it cannot be replenished quickly after it is exhausted because there is a time difference between the two realms.
The current situation is more interesting.
Chen Xuan needs the concentration of free magic power in the domain to reach 1200 times to maintain a normal cultivation rate, and the concentration of magic power of 370 times is considered very high for the outside world.
But in the domain of [Time Slows Down], it is equivalent to the concentration of magic power diluted three or four times in the daily state.
However, considering the extended time, Chen Xuan still made a lot of money in this wave.
As long as he can endure the boredom, after 1200 water clocks, it will be enough to make his strength go to the next level.
When the first cultivation cycle ended, Chen Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air.
The oxygen in the domain gradually became thinner.
Fortunately, the large-caliber magic energy blowers arranged outside the domain came in handy, and a steady stream of air was sent to Chen Xuan through the time fault, barely keeping up with the internal oxygen consumption.
His strong physique allowed him to endure a low-oxygen environment similar to that of the plateau.
It can be said that what Chen Xuan was doing at this time was absolutely unheard of.
It is difficult to create such a miracle by relying solely on [Time Slow].
After all, his [Time Slow] is not a "spiritual time house" in the strict sense.
There are many preparations to be made for the specific operation.
But it is precisely because of these preparations that Chen Xuan can practice in the field with peace of mind.
After seven consecutive water clocks of practice, only 1 minute and 3 seconds have passed for the outside world.
Ahn'Qira was stunned. Not only did she witness the feat of Chen Xuan's dual cultivation of magic and spiritual power, but she also saw with her own eyes the "miracle" of two rounds of practice condensed in one minute.
However, she had long known that Chen Xuan mastered the ability of the law of time.
The [Time Stop] that she could not forget was a typical ability extended from the law of time.
And the wonderful time field in front of her was undoubtedly related to the law of time.
In addition, the surroundings of the entire Magic Association had undergone drastic changes.
A huge vortex of magic power gathered above the Mage Tower and slowly turned.
The extremely condensed magic power was like a thick gray cloud.
The whole vortex was like a super funnel, absorbing the free magic power within a few kilometers around it in a crazy manner, and then condensing it and injecting it into the Mage Tower.
This scene looked very magical, as if a natural disaster had come.
Even if you were more than ten or twenty kilometers away, you could still see this amazing scene!
The free magic power was so magical that even the black light shield built by the monsters could not isolate it.
The so-called forbidden magic array on the Naroa continent was mainly based on magic power interference and repulsion.
Therefore, the natives of Naroa never worried that the free magic power would be exhausted.
It was like the air that was everywhere, and it could be filled up.
The phenomenon caused by the "overclocked" magic gathering array was very impressive.
If Chen Xuan had not basically mastered Magtan City, such an abnormality would probably attract the attention of those who were interested.
But there is no need to worry too much at this time. Whether it is the major associations, the garrison troops or the street rats, they will spontaneously keep the secret for him.
In the field of [Time Slows Down], Chen Xuan took a short break after practicing for a round, replenished water and food, and let the demon species recover.
After adjusting his state, he entered the next round of practice.
He still has about 1193 water clock hours for this round of [Time Slows Down], which is equivalent to 74.5 Naroya days or 149 Blue Star days.
Compared with the original practice time, it is still relatively ample overall.
And the magic gathering array here can probably allow him to maintain another round or two of [Time Slows Down].
In addition, there is another magic modified version of the magic gathering array for backup.
There is no doubt that time is on Chen Xuan's side!
...
Outside the city of Magtan, both the mountains and valleys are shrouded in the dark sky.
Ansetus, dressed in red, rides a four-winged magic eagle to travel between various secret doors and passages.
The news of the birth of the demon dragon soon reached the ears of those guarding the cave.
In fact, this demon disaster was purely accidental.
Several of the original sixteen secret door passages were destroyed before the ceremony was completed.
But at the critical moment, Misty Canyon suddenly activated a high-level sacrificial relic.
It also restored a huge amount of chaotic magic with a large amount of magic cores.
As the sixth general under the Black Flame Demon General, the Black Dragon broke free from most of his restraints and opened the ritual altar contained in the ancient cave. In addition to the "Seven Blood Sacrifice" of the Wannaroa creatures, it connected the original secret door passages and finally opened a void transmission channel.
Ansitus, holding the reverse scale, quickly recruited the monsters in the secret door caves.
The guards of various caves will go to Misty Canyon to help the Black Dragon Belle Tobias Kroedi break free from the remaining sealed chains.
At this time, Ansitus rode the magic eagle expressionlessly and led the way in front.
Below him were various high-level monsters riding mounts to guard.
Suddenly, he pulled the reins of the magic eagle and stopped, looking far away at Magtan City.
Most of the Naroa natives active in this area now retreated into Bang City.
The defense lines on all sides were prepared to resist the impact of monsters.
Both the efficiency of action and the defensive deployment were very neat.
Ansetus knew the ability of Baron Bessos.
This was not an arrangement that the drunkard who had an affair with Eusula could accomplish.
However, what he cared more about was not the defense of Bang City, but the abnormally concentrated magic at this time.
Ansetus, who was baptized by the blood of the magic dragon's heart, was not only able to use chaotic magic, but also his physical strength and perception were improved many times, especially the perception of magic.
At this time, in his mind, all the free magic in the field was light gray.
The higher the concentration of magic, the brighter the color.
And in the city, a group of bright and fiery magic was gathering rapidly!
This level of magic power movement was as dazzling to him as a candle in the dark night.
He knew what big move was brewing in the city without having to guess.
After staying there for a while, he ignored the urging and scolding of the guarding monsters below, and drove the four-winged magic eagle to continue on his way.
…
In the western part of the Kingdom of Duroya, the giant city of Atax.
In the city hall, the lord of this city, Marquis Andrea Ferre, was discussing the situation with all the chief officers.
Marquis Andrea, who was in his prime, was a thin and capable middle-aged man.
He frowned and flipped through the magic letters and communication records on the table.
He raised his head after reading them all.
Everyone at the conference table suddenly fell silent.
"His Majesty the King has decided to hold a meeting of five kings in the [Realm of Saints]!"
"Inform the major human kingdoms in advance."
"According to the moon phase, a new round of demonic disasters affecting the entire continent may break out at any time!"
...
