Chapter 138: Giant Time Gem! Treasures in the Secret Realm!
"Okay!"

Zhu Yuheng couldn't help but jump for joy.

After absorbing the time gem given to her by Xu Ran last time, she gained a new ability to adjust time.

It's a pity that its power is so weak... and the cost of using it is also very unacceptable...

She often wanted to improve this ability.

So as to help Xu Ran solve his problems.

But I still have no clue...

Now, a time gem as big as a house was placed before her. She couldn't imagine how much her ability to control time would be improved if she absorbed it all.

Huniu: "Sister Yuheng, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and absorb the time power inside!"

Xu Ran also urged with a smile: "Xiao Yuheng, absorb it carefully. I have checked and there is no pollution in this time gem."

"Absorb it well, we will protect you here."

"Thank you, Xiao Ran..."

Zhu Yuheng's face was full of anticipation. He sat down cross-legged in front of the Time Stone, stretched out a palm that exuded the mysterious breath of time, and gently pressed it on the stone.

The moment of contact.

The time gem, which was originally motionless, sensed the aura of time on Zhu Yuheng, and the energy inside it flowed directly into her body.

White streams of light surrounded Zhu Yuheng, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

"Brother, why can't I see Sister Yuheng?" Hu Niu asked.

Xu Ran activated the [Double Pupil Technique] and saw clearly the internal situation of the white light.

Zhu Yuheng's figure was constantly changing, sometimes getting bigger, sometimes getting smaller.

Her breathing became deep and long, and the breath of time flowing out of the time gem continued to merge into her body. Under her white body, white streams of light flowed, as if cleansing her essence and marrow, washing every corner of Zhu Yuheng's body.

At the same time, a blue time channel appeared behind her.

This time channel was seen by Zhu Yuheng when he absorbed the Eternal Fire.

In the space-time channel, Zhu Yuheng from different space-times appeared, and the time light in the time gem flowed to each different Zhu Yuheng along the space-time channel.

This scene seems familiar, except that last time it was Zhu Yuheng who shared the destructive power of the Eternal Flame with each of them.

This time, I will share the flow of time obtained from the Time Stone with different versions of myself.

"It seems that he wants to compensate for the pain that the Eternal Fire brought them last time." Xu Ran had already guessed Zhu Yuheng's intention.

Last time, in order to improve her physical cultivation, she let her other self share the pain. She always remembered this kindness in her heart.

Now, with such an opportunity, it is indeed time to make amends.

And at the end of the space-time channel, there was still that perfect girl with long silver hair sitting there.

She felt the endless flow of time towards him, opened her eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Looking at Zhu Yuheng who was absorbing the time gem in the space-time channel and at the end of time, he nodded slowly.

Then, she gently waved her slender fingers, and the time light in the time gem seemed to be pulled and flowed towards her madly.

After a while, the flow of time was completely under her control.

The next moment, time and space flowed, and countless streams of time flew towards the time and space channel, passing through every Zhu Yuheng.

Every time Zhu Yuheng passes by, the flow of time becomes thicker.

Finally, all the light converged on Zhu Yuheng.

"Whoo~"

Zhu Yuheng's every breath, the size of the time gem reduced by one point.

The earth vein couldn't help but sigh as it watched the time gem decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Even in the previous civilization, the cultivators who absorbed the Time Stone couldn't absorb it as fast as her."

The golden light in Xu Ran's eyes faded, and he looked at the earth veins and asked, "Does it matter whether the absorption speed is fast or slow?"

The leyline explained: "The conditions for the formation of a Time Gem are extremely difficult. It takes hundreds of thousands of years to form a Time Gem."

"And absorbing the Time Stone is essentially absorbing the power of time contained within the stone. Just imagine, hundreds of thousands of years of time, how could it be so easy to absorb?"

"Although the Time Stone brings huge benefits to those who control time, the time it takes to absorb it is also enormous."

"In the previous civilization, this Time Stone would not have been fully absorbed in less than a month."

"But now it seems that this little girl will be able to absorb it all in less than an hour."

After saying that, she stared at the white light, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xu Ran nodded, he knew the reason very well.

When absorbing the time gem, it was not just one Zhu Yuheng who was absorbing it, but the Zhu Yuheng of all time and space who were absorbing it together, not to mention the mysterious silver-haired girl, so of course she absorbed it faster.

Just like that, in an hour, like a time gem in a house, it turned into dust and drifted in the air.

Di Lie exclaimed: "It only took an hour!"

Seeing this, Xu Ran and his group came to Zhu Yuheng who had just opened his eyes.

"Sister Yuheng, how are you?" Hu Niu asked directly.

The other teammates also came over curiously.

Ning Shuang: "Has the cost of speeding up time been reduced?"

Tang Chichi: "With such a large Time Gem, the power of [Shifting Time] must have increased significantly."

Guan Xin: "Before, I only absorbed a small piece of the Time Stone to awaken my magic. This time, it's such a big piece. Will it awaken a new magic?"

Xu Ran stepped forward and asked: "You absorbed so many time gems at once, are you okay?"

Before, Zhu Yuheng only absorbed a small piece of the time gem and there was no problem.

But now, a house-shaped time gem was completely absorbed by her alone in one hour, and Xu Ran was a little worried.

Zhu Yuheng looked at her teammates who cared about her.

"I am fine."

"Not only am I fine, I can feel a lot of mysterious energy flowing through my body."

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows. This should be what Zhu Yuheng did at the end of time.

"How fast does time flow?" Hu Niu asked impatiently.

Although absorbing the time gem allowed Zhu Yuheng to gain the terrifying attack ability of [Adjust Time].

But what they care about most is the skill of time flow.

Speaking of the speed of time, Zhu Yuheng smiled.

"Compared to the beginning, the cost of accelerating time consumption has been reduced by three times."

The cost is reduced threefold.

Unexpectedly, they were given such a big surprise as soon as they entered the secret realm.

The strange crystal beast egg that Xu Ran obtained takes twenty years to hatch. If Zhu Yuheng speeds up the time, it will take twenty years of her life.

But now, the cost of accelerating time has been reduced three times, and we are one step closer to successfully hatching the crystal beast egg.

Moreover, if there is such a large time gem in the secret realm, it must also exist in other places in the secret realm.

Perhaps this trip to the secret realm will allow Zhu Yuheng's [Time Acceleration] to evolve completely.

Then, Xu Ran looked at the earth veins: "There should be other time gems in the secret realm, right?"

Although there are guesses, it is still necessary to confirm it with the earth veins.

The ground vein nodded.

"Originally, there was only this one Time Gem in the secret realm. It was too big, enough for a time controller to practice."

"But the secret realm has existed for too long. Given its unique environment, there might actually be time gems elsewhere. However, you will need to find them yourself."

Since there is a time gem in the secret realm, that's enough.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xu Ran led his team members out of the dormant earth veins to seek adventure. As they walked, they helped Zhu Yuheng search for the Time Stone, but after about an hour, they still found nothing.

As they walked, they came to a forest.

This forest is filled with exotic trees, some a hundred meters tall, and it would take dozens of people to hug them. It looks extremely spectacular.

Suddenly, Xu Ran felt a very familiar aura among these strange trees.

After thinking for a moment, he remembered.

Isn’t this the strange tree we saw in the first-level pollution area before?
The only difference between the two is their aura, one is polluted and the other is full of spiritual energy. Other than that, they are exactly the same.

"Could these strange giant trees also have hidden wood cores?" Xu Ran said to himself.

Hu Niu, who had been standing next to Xu Ran, heard what he said.

"Brother, what is Mu Xin?"

Xu Ran explained: "Remember when I went to the Level 1 pollution zone for training? There, I obtained the wood heart of the tree monster, which increased my Qi and Health to a million."

Zhu Yuheng was thoughtful as he looked at the forest of giant trees in front of him.

"Xiao Ran, what you mean is that all the giant trees in this giant forest in front of us may have wood hearts."

Xu Ran nodded: "That's right!"

Hu Niu was also surprised: "What are you waiting for? Let's go and take a look."

They had all heard from Xu Ran that devouring wood hearts could gain Qi and blood points. One wood heart could directly increase their Qi and blood points by 10,000.

There are so many giant trees in this giant forest before our eyes. If there really are wood hearts, wouldn’t it directly increase their Qi and Health values ​​to tens of millions!

Huniu took the lead, holding a knife, and came to a huge tree. After looking around and finding that there was nothing else, she began to cut off the bark of the tree.

Layer, layer, and layer after layer.

As the bark thinned, the red interior of the giant tree shone through.

Xu Ran looked at the familiar color, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "It really exists."

The next moment, Hu Niu shouted loudly: "Yes, there really is Mu Xin in there."

When everyone heard this, they all gathered around.

I saw a bright red wooden heart in Huniu's hand.

They all turned to look at Xu Ran: "Captain, is this it?"

Xu Ran nodded: "Yeah!"

With Xu Ran's confirmation, Hu Niu directly absorbed the wooden heart in her hand.

In a flash, Hu Niu clearly felt that her Qi and blood value increased by 10,000.

"Brother, my health value has increased by 10,000." Hu Niu cheered.

The team members were also surprised.

"Ten thousand. One wood heart can increase your Qi and blood by ten thousand. This is too good to be true."

"With this giant tree forest, we can raise our Qi and Blood to tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, without even practicing."

"It's truly a secret place left behind by a previous civilization. A single forest can have such an effect."

Xu Ran's eyes lit up as he looked at the forest of giant trees in front of him.

"This giant tree forest has at least tens of thousands of giant trees. If I absorb all the wood cores here, I will be invincible."

One wooden heart, ten thousand qi and blood; ten thousand wooden hearts, one hundred million qi and blood!

If he had 100 million Qi and blood, plus the various skills he gained through self-discipline, he could solve the problem of the invasion of Blue Star by himself.

He can even go to an alien planet alone and destroy all the monsters.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, the figure of the Bluetooth girl appeared in front of them.

"Don't be too happy too soon."

Hu Niu was puzzled: "Why?"

The girl in blue explained, "This secret realm is for practitioners to gain experience, not to make them invincible once they enter. Therefore, the secret realm has its own rules."

Xu Ran was stunned: "What rules?"

"Each person can only cut down 100 giant trees and obtain wood hearts."

After hearing this, everyone felt a little disappointed.

Hu Niu: "I thought I could absorb Mu Xin and catch up with my brother."

Ning Shuang: "What a pity, we can only cut down one hundred giant trees."

Guan Xin: "Although one hundred wood hearts can also increase Qi and blood by a million, the difference is too big."

Zhu Yuheng comforted everyone: "One hundred wooden hearts are also very good, at least we can all become Yue realm masters."

Xu Ran was also a little disappointed, but he also comforted everyone.

"Even if we can cut down giant trees without limit in the secret realm and absorb the wood core, we can't absorb all of it."

"If we absorb them all, what will happen to the practitioners who come in later?"

Having said that, Xu Ran still felt a little disappointed.

But I have to say, this is okay.

His current health value is 400 million, plus 100 million it is 500 million. With his ability, he can instantly kill a super opponent with a health value of 4000 million.

If you encounter the previous sand disaster, there is no need to trigger the [Bloody Immortal Bone] after death. You can kill it instantly by just raising your hand.

Although everyone was disappointed, they had been comforted, and now it was time to cut down the trees.

In half an hour, everyone had earned a hundred wooden hearts.

Of course, Xu Ran also had extra gains.

[Extraction successful, Supreme Golden Blood +0.05 drops.]

[Extraction successful, Supreme Golden Blood +0.05 drops.]

[Extraction successful, Supreme Golden Blood +0.05 drops.]

[Extraction successful, Supreme Golden Blood +0.05 drops.]

While cutting down the giant tree, Xu Ran also obtained 5 drops of supreme golden blood.

Hu Niu had absorbed one before, and there were still ninety-nine left.

Afterwards, everyone sat cross-legged and absorbed the wood heart.

Xu Ran looked at the girl in blue and said, "Please keep an eye on our surroundings first. If there is any emergency, wake us up immediately."

Girl in blue: "No problem."

Afterwards, Xu Ran also began to absorb his one hundred wooden hearts.

With Mu Xin's disappearance, everyone's Qi and blood increased by 10,000.

Everyone was emitting a green light.

Hu Niu was the most excited among them. Every time she absorbed one, she would whisper, "Ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand."

The other members of the team were also infected by Hu Niu, and they couldn't help chanting "Ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand."

Soon, all the one hundred wooden hearts were absorbed.

Hu Niu slowly opened her eyes, and in her golden eyes, the Dao rhyme flowed, which was very mysterious.

The same was true for Zhu Yuheng. Her body was surrounded by white light emitted when she absorbed the space gem.

Around Tang Chichi, the [Three-Phase Transformation Shield] rose up, emitting an aura as heavy as Mount Tai.

Several [Dragon Marks] appeared on Ning Shuang's body, and her aura slowly rose, even surpassing Hu Niu.

Wherever Guan Xin was, countless young sprouts broke out of the soil. The powerful vitality made the giant trees and forests behind her sway.
