Perhaps because of Yi Qin, the Heavenly Dao Brush spoke in a much more subdued tone than before.
Through the Heavenly Dao Brush's narration, Li Xuan gradually understood.
This Heavenly Dao Brush was indeed a clone of the Heavenly Dao Brush. And it was the only one of its kind in the world. Although it was not the true body, it could not be underestimated. This single clone of the Heavenly Dao Brush was no less than a treasure-grade artifact. Its power was imaginable.
After a series of inquiries, Li Xuan had a general understanding of the Heavenly Dao Brush. This brush knew a great many things. It could be said that there was nothing in this world that it did not know. Apart from certain heavenly secrets that could not be revealed, Li Xuan learned a great deal.
With Yi Qin by his side, Li Xuan also learned about the origin of the Heavenly Dao Brush. The Heavenly Dao Brush was the entity that governed the Heavenly Dao. All things in this world were under the control of the Heavenly Dao Brush. Of course, this did not mean the Heavenly Dao Brush was omnipotent. At least, Li Xuan's master was capable of annihilating the Heavenly Dao Brush.
As for guarding the Dao, Li Xuan also understood some things. So-called guarding the Dao referred to escorts behind certain favored individuals of heaven. These beings would remain hidden in the shadows, protecting these favored individuals from perishing. When necessary, these guardians would intervene.
Overall, the Heavenly Dao Brush, apart from being a bit flashy, had no other significant flaws.
"Don't worry, I will keep my promise to guard you for a hundred years. I will leave after a hundred years. Hmm, however, I cannot act for you. Unless you encounter a life-threatening crisis, I will save your life. I will not interfere in other matters. As for injuries or disabilities, they are not within my scope." the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan was speechless upon hearing this. What kind of guardian was this? So, you would only show up to help me escape when I was about to die? However, Li Xuan soon came to terms with it. All things considered, the Heavenly Dao Brush was still somewhat useful. If he truly encountered an insurmountable foe, at least he could preserve his life.
"You can entertain yourself." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly and walked away. Since the Heavenly Dao Brush had consciousness, there was no need for him to unseal it. There was still one task left to complete in this Prison Suppression.
"Esteemed great one, may I know your noble name?" Seeing Li Xuan walk away, the Heavenly Dao Brush suddenly floated to Yi Qin's side and asked.
Yi Qin glanced at Li Xuan, then withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "Scram."
"Uh... alright." The next moment, the Heavenly Dao Brush shot off into the distance.
At this moment, Li Xuan arrived before a tall tower. This tower was none other than the Cang Ling Tower. As Li Xuan approached, the spirit of the tower appeared before him.
"Can you tell me why you wish to enter here?" Li Xuan asked the tower spirit directly.
"Haven't you discovered it yourself?" Just as the tower spirit was about to reply, the Heavenly Dao Brush suddenly appeared and looked at the tower spirit, saying.
"Discover what?" Although Li Xuan was curious why the Heavenly Dao Brush had come, he then looked at it in confusion and asked.
"This Prison Suppression of yours has its own space, and the flow of time here is much slower than in the outside world," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan was stunned. He knew that the Prison Suppression had its own space, but he had never realized that the flow of time was slower than outside.
"That's right. The flow of time inside is a bit slower than outside. Spending one day here is equivalent to one and a half days passing in the outside world." the tower spirit nodded.
"They are correct. The flow of time within this Prison Suppression has indeed begun to slow down." At this moment, Yi Qin also arrived before Li Xuan and said.
Li Xuan looked at Yi Qin with some curiosity. He had not noticed this at all.
"Actually, I noticed it after that woman in yellow left. However, at that time, the flow of time was almost the same as outside, so I didn't pay much attention. After you entered the Cang Ling Tower, the flow of time began to slow down. Now, one day inside is equivalent to one and a half days outside."
Yi Qin paused and continued, "Most importantly, this flow of time is still slowing down."
Still slowing down!
Li Xuan's expression became solemn upon hearing this. If this were the case, then this Prison Suppression would be a great tool for cultivation. Just imagine, even if one year inside was equivalent to one and a half years outside, that would be an extra half year.
As for the reason why the Cang Ling Tower wanted to enter the Prison Suppression, Li Xuan also understood. Within the Prison Suppression, the Cang Ling Tower's consumption would be lower. It would be able to survive for a longer time.
"So that's why you wanted to enter my Prison Suppression." Having understood, Li Xuan looked at the spirit of the Cang Ling Tower, his mind also pondering. After all, the Cang Ling Tower was a treasure-grade artifact, on the same level as this clone of the Heavenly Dao Brush. If it could be brought under his control, it would be a great asset.
The flow of time in the Prison Suppression is slow.
The Cang Ling Tower can condense spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Although Li Xuan didn't know the exact function of the Heavenly Dao Brush, it was likely not bad.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan's heart burned even hotter.
"Little tower, you see, you occupy some space within my Prison Suppression. Moreover, the flow of time is still slowing down, and it might slow down even more in the future. You can stay for ten years and then leave. That way, our transaction will be considered complete." Li Xuan said with a slight cough.
Yi Qin looked at Li Xuan with interest, then shifted her gaze to the tower spirit.
"I want to stay," the tower spirit immediately shook its head and said.
Upon hearing this, Li Xuan pointed at the Heavenly Dao Brush and said, "Little tower, you're not being fair. Look, this brush was left to me by my master, so it belongs to me. I have no objections to it staying here. And look, this senior is half like my master, and I have no objections to her staying here."
"Are you asking me to recognize you as my master too?" the tower spirit asked, tilting its head at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan felt awkward. This thing looked only five or six years old, so how did it guess his intentions so quickly?
"Ahem, if you are willing, you can stay," Li Xuan admitted, seeing that his intentions were exposed by the tower spirit.
"You adults are so troublesome. You have to beat around the bush to say what you're thinking. I'm not a child of two or three years old. Fine, I agree to recognize you as my master. But like it, I can only recognize you for a hundred years. Hmm, that's a hundred years in the outside world." the tower spirit sighed helplessly.
Yi Qin covered her mouth and chuckled, then shook her head and turned to leave.
"Deal!" Li Xuan immediately agreed.
Soon, with a new connection in his soul, Li Xuan and the Cang Ling Tower completed the contract.
Feeling this, Li Xuan's lips curved into a slight smile.
Now, the matters within the Prison Suppression had come to a temporary end.
