"What do you think? It's easy to progress? A thousand years is nothing. Even experts take tens of thousands of years to grow as much as I want to make you grow. Moreover, growing in the early stages is easy. But it gets harder in later stages. That's why it takes longer," the old man exclaid.
"Moreover, it's not just about Cultivation since you can achieve that even outside. But it's about skills and ti as well," he further added.
"Nope. I don't care how you put it; I can't spend a thousand years here. I have many things to do. They can't wait!" Long Chen responded.
"Things like what?"
"Things like finding my tad beast which was left behind! He might die by the ti I'll leave! I also need to kill three people. I took a Heavenly Oath that I'll kill them! If I'm late and the Blood Dragon Emperor kills them, I'll die!" Long Chen explained. 'I already spent so many years in the tower! Can't waste more!"
"Only that? That's easy to solve. I can adjust the speed of ti here. One second outside will be a hundred years here. Does that sound better? Only ten seconds will pass in a thousand years. So it'll be the sa as you going out ten seconds later," the old man suggested.
"Thing again. If you go out now, you'll have to waste a lot of ti trying to escape the prison. Instead of that, why not give ten or even twenty seconds of the outside world here?" he asked.
"Is that really possible?" Long Chen asked, frowning.
"Of course it is. In fact, the sa thing happened in the Dark Tower. My other half had modified the ti in the tower since soone was trying to intrude on the tower, and my other half didn't want to interrupt the trials to handle that matter. So he slowed down ti inside to let you finish," the old man answered.
"How can you do that? You can control ti?" Long Chen asked, frowning.
"Of course not. We can only use the Law of Space, and that's what we use."
"It's possible to achieve that through the Law of Space?" Long Chen asked.
"Of course. We're inside a space we created. We can't control ti in the real world, but we can make the space to follow the ti as we want. It's a pretty high-level skill though."
"But this is also the reason why I was so strong. While others cultivated for a hundred years, I cultivated for a hundred thousand years at the sa ti to keep up since I was always bad in cultivation. Maybe I'll teach you this trick as well near the end."
"So you also cheated in a way?" Long Chen asked.
"Of course. Why else do you think I'll let your cheating slide? Like disciple, like master." The old man laughed heartily.
"So, do you accept now?" he asked. "Shall we start, or do you still want to leave?"
Long Chen nodded; however he suddenly thought of sothing. "We can start, but I have one more request."
"What?" The old man asked.
"I have a family. I was wondering if you could train them as well? Let them be stronger in a thousand years here as well. With your guidance, their growth will be imasurable." Long Chen suggested.
"What? No. I only accept one Disciple. I don't accept any more. And I can't train them."
"Then I don't want to train under you. Let leave. It's better to leave than stay away from my family for a thousand years. You can send away."
Long Chen knew that the old man wasn't going to send him away since, after a long ti, he accepted a disciple. He could see the old man accepting his demands in the end instead of sending him out.
Just as he expected, the old man went silent as soon as he talked about leaving.
His frown deepened. "Are you really trying to blackmail ?"
"You can take it the way you want," Long Chen replied calmly.
"Fine! I'll tutor them, but they won't be my disciple. If anything, they'll be like my outer Disciples." The old man firmly stated as he folded his arms.
Long Chen simply smiled. "That would be enough. I know they can't be as strong as at the sa ti as , but as long as they can get so advantage as well, it's fine."
"Good. So, where are they?" The old man asked.
"They're in my Inner World. Shall I bring them out?" Long Chen asked.
"Yesh. Bring them out. In the anti, I'll correct the space to make it comply with the ti we want."
The old man turned around and started changing space. A ground appeared under their feet. A beautiful sky also appeared above their heads.
The ground was covered in beautiful green grass. In the distance, so mountains also appeared.
The old man had brought sothing akin to a real-world in this space so he could train everyone better, especially Long Chen.
Multiple towers ca out of the ground, reaching the skies.
In the anti, Long Chen sat on the ground and sent his consciousness inside his Inner world.
He appeared in the mansion of his clan and walked straight to et his Grandpa.
He inford his grandfather about everything and asked him to shift the clan duties to soone else since he was going to be absent for a thousand years.
After clearing up with the grandfather, he went to his father and inford him. He didn't tell him though. He just told his father to take his mother and Long Xue Ying to the room of his grandfather and that it was urgent.
Next, he walked to the training arena where Ji Shan was practicing.
"You've grown pretty strong," Long Chen complinted.
"Strong? Hah, you jest. This is nothing before you. Welco back though. Did you find the man who you said was going to teach you?" Ji Shan asked. "I've been really excited to train more."
"I couldn't find him," Long Chen shook his head.
Ji Shan was slightly disappointed, but he smiled only. "It's alright. I guess that man wasn't available. It doesn't matter. I can train alone as well to grow. It's no big deal."
He covered his disappointnt pretty fast. "Anyway, why don't you practice with for five minutes today? Let see the gap between us?"
"Heh, my friend. Will you let finish first?" Long Chen asked, chuckling. "What I was saying is that I failed to find that guy. But I found soone even better for you."
"No, not just for you. I found that person for all of us. He's a literal god in a sense. And he'll be training us all. By the ti he's done, you'll be so strong that you can't guess yourself.. So stay excited."
