Swallowing the Stars: Become Stronger by Taking on Disciples

Chapter 49 Top-Tier Treasure Refiner! Breakthrough in Willpower!

Two years later, in the Cosmic Sea, in the space of the black-patterned stone pillar.

Gao Ya sat cross-legged on a boulder, with a silver-gray forging furnace floating in front of him. A palace-like black shadow was slowly rotating inside the furnace.

"The embryo is complete, inscribe the French!" A wisp of ethereal divine power surged from Gao Ya's fingertips, transforming into an invisible carving knife under the guidance of his consciousness, and landed on the surface of the palace embryo.

Where the blade passed, profound patterns of laws flashed across the surface of the embryo, merging into the hall.

Before long, the palace's surface emitted a strong aura of spacetime laws, and the internal space began to twist and fold, gradually giving birth to an independent little world isolated from the outside world. The flow of time also subtly changed, sometimes accelerating and sometimes decelerating.

As Gao Ya finished his last stroke, the entire embryo suddenly fell silent.

The next second, this stroke, like a spark, connected with the millions of patterns previously engraved on the embryo, and a complex secret pattern that runs through the whole was formed in an instant!

The moment the secret runes connected end to end, the palace embryo trembled violently!

The surging laws of space and time within intertwined to create a dazzling display of light, illuminating the entire refining furnace.

"It's done!" Gao Ya gestured with his right hand.

"Whoosh!" The palace transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the furnace opening, then began to expand, growing to a height of one million kilometers before stopping and landing steadily in the void.

"Time Palace, open!" he thought.

"Boom!"

The palace gates swung open with a deafening roar, unleashing a terrifying suction force from within, like the gaping maw of a primordial beast. The surrounding cosmic energies—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, space, and time—transformed from the spaceship, were distorted and stretched, transforming into a torrent of energy that was forcefully swept into it.

"The Time Palace's operating energy has actually changed from the primordial energy of the universe to the cosmic energy corresponding to the ten fundamental laws!" Gao Ya exclaimed in surprise.

This means that this top-tier treasure-level Time Palace can be used both in the original universe and inside the spaceship!

He stepped into the hall, sensed the effect, and found that the flow of time was still 100 times faster.

Including the time acceleration within the space of the black-patterned stone pillar, the time acceleration effect he could enjoy was at least 30 times.

It's equivalent to 1 year outside, which is equivalent to 30 epochs inside!

"Not bad," Gao Ya said with satisfaction.

Compared to the eighth-order secret techniques he has created over the past 9000 years, the Venerable-level "Time-Space Thunder" fusion law inheritance and "Origin Mutation" (2.0) are the most effective for him. The Time Palace not only allows him to enjoy more time acceleration effects in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, but also marks him as the fourth top-level treasure refiner in the original universe!

After admiring his masterpiece for a while, Gao Ya sat down cross-legged and began to temper his will.

6500 years have passed, and Gao Ya has surged from the 3000x time acceleration zone to the 7000x time acceleration zone. At this time, 29 epochs have passed within the Time Palace.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The willpower surged into Gao Ya's mind at a frequency of billions of times per second, carving cracks into his rock-solid willpower barrier.

But under wave after wave of impact, instead of leaving the barrier of will riddled with holes, it became smoother, like a piece of raw jade, gradually revealing its inner brilliance through countless carvings.

"Almost there, almost there..." Gao Ya murmured to himself, feeling his will about to undergo another transformation.

One wave, two waves, three waves...

boom!

The barrier of will trembled violently, and ripples spread across its surface!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

An overwhelming aura swept out like a slumbering ancient god suddenly awakening!

Faced with this absolute power, the will that rushed into his mind was as fragile as withered grass in a storm, breaking and disintegrating in pieces, eventually turning into nothingness and being completely swept away!

The subsequent surge of willpower attacks lost all their edge before the impregnable barrier of will, like gentle spring breezes that posed no harm to him.

Gao Ya opened his eyes: "Forward!"

Under his control, the Time Palace sped forward, constantly approaching the black-patterned stone pillar.

The flow of time around us is also changing drastically.

8000 times, 9000 times, 10000 times... until Gao Ya reached the 16000 times time acceleration zone, he finally felt that his willpower had reached its limit.

He glanced at the Time Palace. Logically, the combined acceleration of internal and external time should have reached 160 million times, but it was currently stuck at 50 times.

Gao Ya frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

This situation is most likely related to the spacetime laws he has mastered, which are transforming into the source of time and space. He has only scratched the surface of these two sources of laws, and even top-tier treasures cannot support a very high degree of time acceleration.

After a moment's thought, Gao Ya put away the Time Palace and flew out of the Super Universe Ship.

One hundred years later

Primordial Universe, Void Temple

The five Venerable Ones bowed deeply, their expressions extremely respectful.

"Hmm," Gao Ya nodded slightly. With a thought, an invisible wave spread out, and the Enlightenment Space instantly enveloped the entire main temple.

"You should contemplate this here."

"Yes"

The five quickly returned to their own spaces and sat down, seizing the time to comprehend the teachings.

Since the five of them replaced Giant Sword, Heavenly Soul, Thunder, and the other three as guardians of the Void Realm, they originally thought they could finally enjoy the space for enlightenment. However, the Master often went away for long periods of time, only returning once every hundred years when he was lecturing to his disciples, making their time for meditation extremely limited.

Just as Gao Ya was about to leave the main temple to preach to his disciples, two streams of light rushed into the temple, and a man and a woman appeared before him.

The man was clad in fiery red armor, his face resolute.

The woman wore a long silver-white dress, had exquisite features, and a touch of heroism between her brows.

"Disciple greets teacher," Zachary bowed respectfully.

"Nora greets Your Excellency," Nora followed suit, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Gao Ya saw the two of them and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Over the years, although Zachley had been traveling and making his own way in the world, he had often kept in touch with him through the virtual universe, so he knew that Zachley had a wife.

"Nora, now that you're Zach's wife, from now on, you'll call me 'teacher,' just like Zach does."

Nora bowed again: "Nora greets her teacher!"

Gao Ya nodded and tapped his finger.

"Whoosh!"

A pile of treasures radiating a powerful aura appeared out of thin air in front of Nora.

A top-tier high-level treasure set consisting of a longsword, armor, boots, a palace, and other high-level treasures of the domain category.

"These are the gifts your teacher gave you to welcome you."

He's so poor now that all he has left are these things.

Nora's eyes widened, and she stammered, "T-Teacher, this is too precious."

"Take it."

Nora looked at Zachary, and seeing him nod, she gratefully accepted the treasure: "Thank you, teacher!"

Gao Ya turned his gaze to Zachary: "What are your plans next?"

Zachley said, "Teacher, I want to explore the ancestral realms."

"Okay," Gao Ya replied without asking why. With the equipment he provided, as long as they were in the Primal Universe, they wouldn't be in any danger.

"I'll have someone deliver a Beast God Inheritance Token to you in a bit."

Since the Star Prison Demon Lord's breakthrough, apart from those who have progressed far in the Path of the Beast God, none of the human race's powerful cultivators who practiced the Fusion Law have gone to the Ancestral God Sect to receive inheritance.

Those surviving Beast God inheritance tokens have been gathering dust in the human treasury for a long time.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

After saying that, a hint of hesitation crept onto his face.

After a short while, he finally spoke, "Teacher, I would like to request a few more places from you."

"What number of spots?"

"Earth Habitat Quota"
