The Time Tower
14: Chapter 14
The Time Tower
Lin Hao turned his attention toward Lin Wei.
The family head immediately straightened.
He had been watching everything that happened to the elders with wide eyes.
Six elders who had spent their entire lives as ordinary mortals had just stepped onto the path of cultivation.
And now…
It was his turn.
“Family Head.”
“Yes, Ancestor?”
“Come here.”
Lin Wei walked forward.
His steps were slightly nervous.
Lin Hao looked at him carefully.
“You have managed the Lin Clan for many years.”
Lin Wei nodded.
“You have carried the responsibility of protecting this family.”
“Yes, Ancestor.”
Lin Hao smiled.
“Then you should also have the opportunity to cultivate.”
Lin Wei’s eyes widened.
“Me?”
“You.”
A golden light appeared in Lin Hao’s hand.
“Don’t resist.”
Lin Wei nodded immediately.
The golden light shot toward him.
Boom!
A powerful aura erupted.
Lin Wei’s body trembled.
Golden light enveloped him.
His bones began to crack.
His muscles tightened.
His meridians were transformed.
And deep within his body, something that had remained dormant for decades suddenly awakened.
A Primordial-level physique.
A powerful spiritual root.
An ancient bloodline.
At the same time, an enormous amount of knowledge merged directly into his mind.
It wasn’t written words.
It wasn’t a book.
It was understanding.
Lin Wei suddenly understood what Spiritual Qi was.
He understood how to sense it.
How to absorb it.
How to circulate it.
How to cultivate.
How breakthroughs worked.
And most importantly…
He understood the cultivation realms.
Body Refining.
Qi Gathering.
Foundation Establishment.
Core Formation.
Nascent Soul.
Soul Transformation.
Void Refining.
Body Integration.
Tribulation Transcendence.
Mahayana.
Every realm had nine levels.
For the first time in his life, Lin Wei understood the world of cultivation.
His eyes opened.
“Ancestor…”
Lin Hao nodded.
“How do you feel?”
Lin Wei clenched his fist.
“I…”
He looked at his hands.
“I can feel something inside me.”
“Spiritual Qi.”
Lin Hao smiled.
“Good.”
Lin Wei immediately sat down.
He began cultivating.
Spiritual Qi entered his body.
His cultivation began rising.
But Lin Hao wasn’t looking at him anymore.
His attention shifted toward the six elders.
Qi Gathering Realm Level 9.
Lin Hao frowned.
He looked toward Lin Jian.
Then toward Lin Chen and Lin Qing.
A strange expression appeared on his face.
The Grand Elder of the Lin Clan…
Was weaker than two members of the younger generation.
Lin Hao felt slightly embarrassed.
“System.”
The System responded immediately.
[Host, what are you thinking?]
“Is there anything that can accelerate their cultivation?”
A brief silence followed.
Then—
[Yes.]
Lin Hao’s eyes lit up.
“What?”
[The Time Tower.]
A mysterious object appeared within the System Mall.
Lin Hao examined it.
It looked like a miniature tower.
Ancient.
Majestic.
And completely different from anything he had seen before.
“What does it do?”
[The Time Tower contains five floors.]
[Each floor possesses a different flow of time.]
Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed.
“Explain.”
The System responded.
[First Floor: 100× time acceleration.]
[One day outside is equivalent to one hundred days inside.]
Lin Hao nodded.
“Second floor?”
[Second Floor: 1,000× time acceleration.]
[One day outside is equivalent to one thousand days inside.]
Lin Hao’s eyes widened slightly.
“Third?”
[Third Floor: 10,000× time acceleration.]
[One day outside is equivalent to ten thousand days inside.]
Lin Hao’s expression changed.
Ten thousand days.
From one day outside.
That was already terrifying.
“What about the fourth?”
[Fourth Floor: 100,000× time acceleration.]
[One day outside is equivalent to one hundred thousand days inside.]
Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed.
“And the fifth?”
The System’s answer came immediately.
[Fifth Floor: 1,000,000× time acceleration.]
[One day outside is equivalent to one million days inside.]
Lin Hao became silent.
One million days.
From a single day outside.
That was an absurd amount of time.
But then the System added another explanation.
[The Fourth Floor contains Immortal Qi.]
[The Fifth Floor contains Divine Qi.]
Lin Hao’s eyes brightened.
Then he remembered something.
“What about the people currently in my clan?”
[The current members of the Lin Clan are Mortal World cultivators.]
[They cannot absorb Immortal Qi or Divine Qi.]
Lin Hao understood immediately.
“So the fourth and fifth floors can’t be used for cultivation yet.”
[Correct.]
“Then the third floor is enough.”
Lin Hao didn’t hesitate.
He purchased the Time Tower.
Boom!
A terrifying fluctuation spread through the room.
A miniature tower appeared in front of Lin Hao.
It quickly expanded.
Ten meters.
Twenty meters.
Fifty meters.
A majestic five-story tower stood before the Lin Clan.
The elders looked at it in shock.
“What is that?”
Lin Hao smiled.
“A place where you will cultivate.”
Lin Jian looked at the tower.
“How does it work?”
“You’ll find out.”
Lin Hao raised his hand.
“All of you.”
The six elders looked at him.
“Enter.”
Lin Jian hesitated.
“All of us?”
“Yes.”
The elders exchanged glances.
Then they stepped forward.
Lin Wei, who had just completed his breakthrough foundation training, also looked toward Lin Hao.
“Ancestor?”
“You too.”
Lin Wei immediately followed.
Lin Hao waved his hand.
The seven members of the Lin Clan disappeared into the Time Tower.
Inside the third floor.
Lin Jian looked around.
The environment was completely different from the outside world.
The Spiritual Qi was dense.
Extremely dense.
Lin Feng took a deep breath.
“This…”
Lin Rui’s eyes widened.
“The Spiritual Qi here is incredible.”
Lin Hao’s voice sounded in their minds.
“Begin cultivating.”
The elders immediately sat down.
Lin Wei followed.
They began absorbing Spiritual Qi.
One day passed outside.
Inside the tower…
Ten thousand days passed.
The elders cultivated continuously.
They had no reason to stop.
They had received Primordial-level physiques.
They possessed powerful spiritual roots.
They had extraordinary bloodlines.
And now they had something else.
Time.
An enormous amount of time.
Their cultivation began advancing rapidly.
Qi Gathering Realm Level 9…
Foundation Establishment Realm…
Foundation Establishment Realm Level 2…
Level 3…
Level 4…
Their cultivation continued rising.
Outside the tower, Lin Hao stood quietly.
He looked toward the Time Tower.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Finally.
The elders could cultivate without falling behind the younger generation.
But Lin Hao knew this was only the beginning.
The Time Tower had five floors.
The fourth floor contained Immortal Qi.
The fifth contained Divine Qi.
One day…
The Lin Clan would reach those worlds.
And when that happened…
The Time Tower would reveal its true value.
The System’s voice suddenly sounded.
[Host, the higher floors of the Time Tower will become usable once the Lin Clan reaches the corresponding worlds.]
Lin Hao smiled.
“Then I’ll wait.”
He looked toward the enormous tower.
The Lin Clan had just gained another terrifying advantage.
Time.
And with enough time…
Even an ordinary family could become extraordinary.
