Chapter 466: Chapter 466: The Treasure that Slows Down Time

Translator: 549690339

After seeing Fine Gold, Lin Zhen knew that his one hundred and fifty million Cosmic Crystals were nothing in comparison.

One gram equal to hundred pieces, Lin Zhen would need around one ton of Fine Gold for his first attempt.

A ton of Fine Gold, a hundred million Cosmic Crystals!

At present, Lin Zhen’s property could only allow him to upgrade from Planet Level 1 to Level 2!

When he thought of the astronomical wealth he would need after Planet Stage, Lin Zhen felt a headache coming on. Such money was so massive it made him feel desperate.

But Lin Zhen wasn’t feeling unbalanced. Yes, the Black Hole Beast’s talent did require consuming a tremendous amount of money, but it also saved him a lot of training time.

If he’d followed a step-by-step approach to practice, Lin Zhen probably would still be a small fry at the Meteor Early Stage now. He wouldn’t have the combat power comparable to that of the Black Hole Period.

For your information, he was only twenty-five this year!

“First, exchange for a ton of Fine Gold.”

The consumption was a whopping hundred million Cosmic Crystals at a time, but the staff from the Dimensional Company was not surprised at all. It seemed they were used to dealing with big players.

“Sure, Mr. Lin Zhen, you can make the payment now.”

Lin Zhen handed over one hundred million of Cosmic Crystals, and then the staff member took out a ton of Fine Gold from a Space Ring.

“Having the material for the upgrade to Planet Level 2, I still need lots of Cosmic Crystals.”

Lin Zhen pondered in his heart and continued to look at the goods list.

“What type of spaceship is this? Why is it so expensive?”

Lin Zhen was surprised to see a small spaceship. He couldn’t tell what material it was made of, but it was incredibly beautiful. It was only about twenty meters long, looked just like an airplane, but the price was a staggering three hundred million Cosmic Crystals!

“Oh, this is actually not a spaceship, but a life form from the Transformer Clan. They are born in the shape of robots and they can transform into different forms of transportation according to their talents; planes, spaceships, disks, airships…they are peculiar and varied. They possess self-awareness, they are lives, just like us.”

“Transformers!” Lin Zhen couldn’t help thinking of this word, from a movie of the Earth Calendar era.

“Hm…although it’s the first time I’ve heard this name, it seems rather fitting.” The staff member nodded.

Lin Zhen fell silent for a moment. Indeed, the universe was full of wonders. The Transformer Clan was not a flesh and blood life, but robotic life. If they really were Transformers, their price would be hard to assess.

However, Lin Zhen had no plans to purchase this Transformer for now. He didn’t know if it would prove to be useful. Could it try to escape? What was its combat capability? All of these were unknowns.

After looking at it, another item attracted Lin Zhen’s attention.

It was a small pocket watch, damaged but it was priced at fifty million Cosmic Crystals.

“What is this? Why does a damaged pocket watch cost this much?”

“Mr. Lin Zhen, this is a great item. It is a damaged Heavenly Tool.”

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

“Heavenly Tool, what is that?”

“The grade of a Heavenly Tool is higher than that of an Artifact. Each Heavenly Tool possesses miraculous powers. Only a Cosmic Demon God has the ability to forge such items.”

Lin Zhen was comparatively knowledgeable now. The Cosmic Demon God was a beings superior to the World King, they were at the top of the universe.

“The ability of this Heavenly Tool is also quite magical. It itself holds the Power of Time. When you wear this type of Heavenly Tool, it can slow down the flow of time within a specific spatial range.”

“It can slow down the flow of time?” Lin Zhen asked in surprise.

“Yes, that’s right. It can slow down the flow of time. This Heavenly Tool can slow down the flow of time to a ratio of twelve to one at its maximum capacity. As long as there are Cosmic Crystals as a power source, if you cultivate within its range of influence for an hour, it is equivalent to twelve hours in the outside world.”

At this point, Lin Zhen was tremendously excited. This kind of Heavenly Tool was simply against the heavens. In this way, if he had it, one year of cultivation would be equivalent to twelve years in the outside world. The passage of time wouldn’t change in the outside world, it would just slow down within the range of influence.

“So, given this, this item is extremely cheap at fifty million Cosmic Crystals.”

“Yes, but this Heavenly Tool is damaged. If you want to repair it, you must find the Cosmic Origin, otherwise, it will just be an expensive collectible.”

“What is the Cosmic Origin?”

“Cosmic Origin is a type of purple qi that forms spontaneously when heaven and earth open. Only an item containing the purple qi can possibly become a Heavenly Tool. Otherwise, no matter how precious the quality, it can only be promoted to the level of a Top Quality Artifact, and it will never become a Heavenly Tool.”

The staff continued to explain to Lin Zhen: “But obtaining the Cosmic Origin is extremely difficult. Except for the expansion of the universe itself, it only appears when the World King Powerhouse opens up their internal world. Because only the Cosmic Demon God usually has the ability to forge a Heavenly Tool, most of those using them are the Cosmic Demon Gods. Occasionally, some super World King Powerhouses can also forge Heavenly Tools.”

“So, if I can find the Cosmic Origin, I should be able to repair this Heavenly Tool?”

“In theory, that is the case, just that the Cosmic Origin is very difficult to obtain so you’d best not have too high of hopes.”

“I understand, but I want to give it a shot.”

Lin Zhen had precisely fifty million Cosmic Crystals in hand. He didn’t have enough to buy more Fine Gold, so he could just buy this broken Heavenly Tool.

After buying that item, Lin Zhen only had one Cosmic Crystal left. He couldn’t afford to buy anything else, so he simply left.

After he came out, Ni Ke the dwarf got up.

Lin Zhen looked the guy over a few times. He had millions of Cosmic Crystals in his hands, making him a veritable tycoon. If he ever ran out of money, Lin Zhen might need to ask him for a loan.

After being glanced at by Lin Zhen, Ni Ke unconsciously covered the space ring on her hand and giggled, “Lin Zhen, what are we going to do now?”

“What else can we do after coming to the World Stone? Of course, it is to find the Cosmic Crystals. We don’t care about the disputes between others, but we must get more Cosmic Crystals.”

“Great! I love treasure hunting the most, let’s set off now.”

The two left and arrived in front of the Six Paths of Reincarnation again.

“Which path will we tackle this time?”

“It doesn’t matter, we might need to search thoroughly in each and every path. Let’s start with the Hell Path.”

The treasure hunting duo set off once again, entering the Hell Path in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

With the dwarf’s talent, coupled with Lin Zhen’s strong spiritual power as support, their treasure hunting speed was extremely fast.

Almost any place with abundant cosmic crystals couldn’t escape the dwarf’s talent. In one day, they each harvested tens of millions of cosmic crystals.

By nightfall, the dwarf was somewhat tired and told Lin Zhen she wanted to rest for a few hours.

“How many hours do you roughly need to recover fully?”

“Very quickly, eight hours are enough. You have to know, as an adult dwarf, even if she is a martial artist, she needs to ensure eight hours of sleep every day.”

“Dwarves need that much sleep? Human Clan Warriors only need to rest for five hours a day, and if it’s a Spiritual Mind Master, two hours is enough.”

Ni Ke spread her hands, “Dwarves are different. Our bodies are strong, and the burden is larger. Underage dwarves need to rest at least sixteen hours a day.”

“Alright, see you in eight hours.”

The two found a hidden spot, and the dwarf, who had garnered a massive haul, immediately fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhen entered the Foldable Space, took out the damaged pocket watch.

Only at this moment did the excitement on his face reveal, because he knew that the purple air running through his Dark Star World was the Cosmic Origin force born when the space was created!

By a stroke of luck, Lin Zhen created the Dark Star World. This also opened up a new world, naturally creating Cosmic Origin. However, Lin Zhen didn’t know what this was before. It was only today that he understood.

Yin Yang and Cliff Corner dual guns each absorbed some Cosmic Origin, meeting the basic conditions for upgrading to the Heavenly Tool, but most of the purple air remained inside the Dark Star World, and was now put to use.

In this world, except for World King level powerhouses, probably only Lin Zhen can possess the Cosmic Origin.

He placed the pocket watch into the Dark Star Space, and immediately, strands of purple air automatically entered it.

“It really works. I don’t have to do anything specifically, the pocket watch can absorb it on its own. I just don’t know how much Cosmic Origin is needed to fully restore it. I hope it won’t consume too much because my Cosmic Origin isn’t very plentiful.”

Although he said it wasn’t much, in fact, that purple air was like a Golden Bridge spanning heaven and earth, covering the inside of the Dark Star Space, and he did not know exactly how much he had.

The promotion of the two long guns initially only consumed one percent of the purple air.

As the purple air entered bit by bit, the pocket watch finally changed.

The originally damaged dial and hands have all reappeared. The entire pocket watch is smooth, antique, and crafted with divine skill, as if it has life.

Similar to the human-made watches for calculating time, this pocket watch had twelve hour marks on it.

When all twelve marks appeared, about thirty percent of the purple air in Lin Zhen’s body was consumed!

“As expected of a Heavenly Tool, so much Cosmic Origin is needed for repair. If I were to create this pocket watch by myself, I fear that I wouldn’t be able to.”

The pocket watch finally stopped absorbing, no more Cosmic Origin was entering. The repair was complete.

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the pocket watch appeared in his hand from the Dark Star Space.

“What a beautiful pocket watch, I would very much like to believe, that it was created by a woman.”

Lin Zhen examined the pocket watch carefully. The entirety of the pocket watch was blue, like a shining and transparent blue gemstone. There was a small cover on it, and upon opening, it even emitted a faint fragrance.

However, after flipping it over for a while, Lin Zhen found that the pocket watch still did not start keeping time and did not know how to activate it.

“Oh right, the Cosmic Crystals!”

Lin Zhen suddenly remembered the crucial point and promptly brought out a Cosmic Crystal.

The back of the pocket watch can be opened, there was a small space inside where one Cosmic Crystal could be placed.

As soon as Lin Zhen put in a crystal, it disappeared immediately.

The pocket watch lit up, emitting a blue light, then gently moved one second.

At this moment, it seemed like the surrounding space-time had stagnated. Plainly it was just one second, but Lin Zhen felt it was more than ten seconds.

“I get it!”

Lin Zhen exclaimed happily, he finally understood the mystery of the pocket watch. One Cosmic Crystal maintained it for one second!
