Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

Vast space, vast land.

Spiritual plants are scattered across the earth, absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This is the space inside Zhou Ming's natal spiritual treasure, the 'Heaven-Zhening Tower'.

As Zhou Ming's cultivation level increased, the level of this treasure was also upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual treasure.

The internal space of the spiritual treasure also expanded accordingly.

"Let's do the most basic time experiment first..."

In an instant, the whole world came to a standstill.

The flowing wind and swaying flowers are all frozen in this moment.

The whole world seemed to have turned into a three-dimensional painting.

"Very good. It seems that there is no backlash at the moment."

Zhou Ming was secretly delighted.

It may be that the current degree to which time has stopped has not reached the bottom line of being eaten away by time.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this area within Zhou Ming's body, because of the influence of absolute control ability, is directly isolated from the outside world's time avenue.

The best news, of course, is the latter.

If this is the case, it means that Zhou Ming can conduct time experiments at will in the space inside his body without worrying about any backlash.

"If even time can be isolated..."

Zhou Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of heat: "I'm afraid the upper limit of my ability will have to be further raised."

The time within the space was stopped for a month, but still did not trigger any backlash.

Zhou Ming was not going to continue, so after planning a certain area as a place where time would stand still forever, he began to conduct time experiments in other areas.

The turtles were thrown into ten different areas.

"The five time accelerations are one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, and ten thousand times. The corresponding ones are five time reversals, also with the same multiples."

A thousand-year-old turtle is worth ten thousand years of age. The lifespan of a turtle is very long.

Especially the ten turtles that Zhou Ming specially selected for this experiment. Although they are ordinary beasts, they have some demon blood and a longer lifespan of seven or eight hundred years.

After these ten turtles were put in, different changes soon occurred due to the different speeds of time flow for each of them.

The fastest ones are naturally the two turtles in the area where the time flow rate is ten thousand times faster.

With the time flow rate at ten thousand times the normal speed, one second is ten thousand seconds, which is equivalent to more than two hours.

One day in the past is ten thousand days, which is equivalent to more than twenty years.

Even though these turtles with demon blood have a lifespan of seven or eight hundred years, they can only survive for a month at most when the time flows at ten thousand times the speed.

Besides, the turtle Zhou Ming chose was not a newly born turtle.

So to be precise, he would die in less than a month.

On the other side, in the reverse flow of time, the turtle is getting younger and younger.

But even the soul and consciousness become younger.

"Well... the greatest significance of time reversal is actually to make oneself younger and rejuvenate. But if the soul and consciousness are also rejuvenated, then it will be meaningless."

Rejuvenation means making the body younger and restoring life, but it is better to maintain one's soul and consciousness in their current state.

If both of these become younger, wouldn't that be like walking through life again?

Memories and experiences will also disappear with it.

It doesn't make much sense.

"It's best to isolate the soul...but the soul also has a lifespan limit..."

So, if you want to achieve the most perfect rejuvenation.

It would be best if the body and soul could flow backwards through time together, but one's own consciousness could still be preserved.

In this process, what is needed is not only the control of time, but also the understanding of the soul.

"There is also time acceleration. If we reverse it and only affect the soul and consciousness instead of the body, it means that we can have a lot of time to comprehend and cultivate magical powers without affecting our lifespan..."

During the experiment, Zhou Ming will not only discover various errors, but also many ideas will emerge in his mind.

He wrote them down one by one, preparing to conduct experiments later and find ways to realize them.

"Time is truly amazing..."

During Zhou Ming's experiment, something unexpected happened.

The turtle in the area where time was accelerated 100,000 times, actually comprehended the way of cultivation, embarked on the path of cultivation, and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Although it is just a small demon that has not even reached the Qi Refining stage, because the time flow rate is one hundred thousand times faster, its spiritual energy absorption speed is also one hundred thousand times normal in the eyes of outsiders!

At this point, a problem arises.

Not enough spiritual energy.

At a speed of one hundred thousand times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth near the area was quickly absorbed by the turtle, but the spiritual energy from the outside world did not have time to accelerate and could not be replenished in time.

The result was that the little turtle had no spiritual energy from heaven and earth to absorb, and its cultivation growth was interrupted.

Zhou Ming waved his hand, replenishing the spiritual energy while also imprinting a cultivation technique on the little turtle.

Make them embark on the correct path of cultivation to avoid wasting spiritual energy.

But this also exposes a big problem.

If there is no demand for external objects in the process of time acceleration, then it can be accelerated at will, but if there is, additional supplements will be needed.

Zhou Ming can easily replenish the spiritual energy needed by a mere Qi-refining demon, even if it is accelerated a hundred thousand times.

But what if he is a normal divine monk?

Even if it is only accelerated by one time, it means that Zhou Ming must absorb twice the normal amount of spiritual energy from the outside world to provide the other party with practice.

If it is five times or ten times, then Zhou Ming does not need to provide five times or ten times the spiritual energy.

But in fact, let alone five or ten times, Zhou Ming might not be able to provide even one times the normal amount.

The spiritual energy permeates between heaven and earth, but it is not endless. After the spiritual energy in a certain area is completely absorbed, it is necessary to wait for the spiritual energy from other places to slowly gather and replenish it.

A spiritual land, no matter how rich the spiritual energy is, cannot support the practice of a cultivator when time is accelerated by five, ten or even more times.

Besides, the area where Zhou Ming can accelerate time is limited to the cave inside his body.

Although his cave was well built due to Zhou Ming's own ability, it was ultimately not as good as the accumulation of thousands of years of those big forces.

In his cave, there were neither spiritual veins or spiritual sources that could significantly increase the concentration of spiritual energy and increase the speed of spiritual energy recovery, nor were there any special buildings or formations.

Just use the most common methods to increase your spiritual energy.

That is, planting a large number of spiritual plants.

During the growth process, spiritual plants will absorb, purify and increase the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This is why the places where the spiritual energy between heaven and earth gather are often deep in the dense forests with beautiful mountains and clear waters and deserted human traces.

Because the spiritual energy is purified and grown from the many plants that grow here.

In those wild mountains and even deserts, the spiritual energy is usually very thin, and one can only rely on the spiritual energy diffused from other places to support practice.
