My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

The elixir's potency was simply terrifying.

And this…

was nothing but a mere auxiliary ingredient used for alchemy by the owner of Douluo Palace.

It was downright outrageous.

Cheng Guang carefully stored away the Mysterious Jade Gourd, then seemed to think of something.

"That reminds me, my system task should be completed by now."

Cheng Guang's gaze fell on his system.

Previously, while inside Douluo Palace, he was so focused on how to deal with the Red Robe Daoist that he didn't pay much attention to his own system.

Upon reflection, he remembered that at some point, a system task completion notification had indeed sounded in his mind.

[Explore Douluo Palace again, task completed.]

[Would you like to claim the reward?]

With a slight stir in his thoughts, Cheng Guang said, "Claim!"

As the words fell in his heart, strands of brilliant golden light began to radiate in front of Cheng Guang, flowing from the void like water and slowly converging into an object resembling a scroll.

The scroll appeared in black and white, with two distinct points of clarity and turbidity, already resembling the pattern of Tai Chi.

Cheng Guang slowly reached out a hand, and as his fingertips barely touched the floating, slightly illusory Tai Chi Diagram enveloped in the golden light, the diagram instantly became solid.

At the same time, a burst of information timely appeared in Cheng Guang's mind.

[Tai Chi Diagram (King Grade): Can control time, freezing it within a certain area to make the flow of time speed up or slow down.]

Upon sensing the abilities of the Tai Chi Diagram in his mind, Cheng Guang's eyes uncontrollably widened a bit.

Can control time?

The passage of time can be accelerated, or slowed down!?

This…

Isn't that a bit overpowered?

Cheng Guang merely glanced at the ability description of the Tai Chi Diagram and felt his heart greatly shocked.

In this world, even Sky-Men couldn't control time and space, which were both eternally lamented aspects. Logically, they were untouchable and forbidden existences.

Yet, this Tai Chi Diagram could control time.

Although it could only speed up or slow down the flow of time within a certain area, not change the flow of time for an individual, that was still quite impressive.

Cheng Guang could envision that if he used this Tai Chi Diagram, even if not for fighting but merely for cultivation, what would typically take him a hundred years to ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm could, with the Tai Chi Diagram's time acceleration buff, potentially only appear to outsiders as taking less than ten years.

Elated, Cheng Guang thought that indeed, as a King Grade treasure, its effects truly seemed a bit stronger than those of the Heavenly Grade Restraint Pearl.

After acknowledging the Tai Chi Diagram with a drop of blood, the method of using it became clear in his mind.

Cheng Guang prepared to experiment on how much he could adjust the flow of time with the Tai Chi Diagram.

Cheng Guang lightly tossed the Tai Chi Diagram with one hand.

After it was thrown, the black and white colors of the Tai Chi Diagram progressively separated, transforming into a White Jade Golden Bridge amidst a field of bizarre light, spreading across the heavens and earth.

Encapsulating his entire bedroom within it.

By then, Cheng Guang felt that within this space, he was no longer a mere neophyte, but a Deity possessing the power of heaven and earth.

He looked toward a bouquet on the bedroom windowsill and lightly touched it. The swaying branches and leaves froze for a moment, and then the vibrant petals dulled slightly in color, as if they had lost some moisture.

Cheng Guang had assumed that under his control of time flow, the bouquet would wither instantly, yet, to his surprise, the flowers only faded slightly in color.

Cheng Guang felt a bit frustrated, as the degree of time passage he could control did not seem very significant.

He maxed out the speed of time's passage and found it did not even double; at most, there was a slight increase by a fraction.

Unexpectedly turning into a white elephant, what was going on?

Cheng Guang sighed, not too disappointed in his heart. If he could accelerate time without restriction, then he could easily become invincible in this world.

Simply max out the pace of time's passage and decide who lives and who dies.

Now being able to speed it up a fraction, his cultivation speed could at least be hastened somewhat.

In battle, he could also slow down an opponent's speed, granting himself a definite advantage, which was still quite good.

With these thoughts in mind, Cheng Guang stored away the Tai Chi Diagram.

He opened the doors and windows and let Qing Luan, who had been quietly waiting outside, go to rest earlier.

The matters of his wedding on the morrow would likely keep him busy.

As a personal maiden, Qing Luan wouldn't have an easy job.

After Qing Luan left, Cheng Guang closed the doors and windows.

He went to bed, cultivated the God Emperor Cultivation Method, and meditated on the Proving Dao Map.

When Midnight arrived,

Cheng Guang's eyes opened slightly.

Once again, a cold and emotionless voice sounded in his mind without fail.

[On the first day of September in the thirty-fourth year of proving Zhensheng, sixty-one days since reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, you explored Douluo Palace again and obtained the Nine Turn Golden Pill, elevating your cultivation by another level. You felt very happy.]

[However, thinking about Qin Yanqiu's death left you somewhat unsettled.]

[Qin Yanqiu's death seemed to be just a spark that ignited the decline of the Northern Expedition Army. After his death, anomalies appeared in the Border Area battlefield.]

[The Great Yan Dynasty descended into internal turmoil and suddenly withdrew their troops from the Border Area battlefield. The once jointly guarded frontier of the Border Area by the Four Directions Mortal World's four great dynasties fell in an instant, with massive waves of Demon Beasts flooding into the Great Yan Dynasty.

At the same time, a large number of Demon Beasts also detoured near North City of the Great Zhou Dynasty.]
