I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 826: Chapter 431 Rejuvenation_2

“Fine, let’s spare them for now. If they can pass the three trials and obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, there might still be a chance to find the corpses of these three.”

“I hope you really can get through the second trial. By then, harvesting you will bring me even greater benefits.”

The moment they crossed the stone door, the three figures disappeared, as if entering another space.

Only then did Su Nan look towards the Personal Information Panel, his gaze landing on the “Cycle of Four Seasons Scriptures.”

Now that he had enough Demon Power, he decided to cultivate the ancient scripture first.

“Although increasing my strength now won’t be a great help for entering the Heavenly Demon’s trial, the ‘Cycle of Four Seasons Scriptures’ cultivates the power of time.”

“Foreknowledge is still just foreknowledge, not a personal experience. Even if I foresee it millions of times, I am still extremely unfamiliar with the unknown powers of time.”

“Once I cultivate the ‘Cycle of Four Seasons Scriptures’ to the first level, then I can experience the mysteries of the power of time firsthand and explore various uses, which naturally beats foreknowledge by a thousand times.”

To prevent accidents, he still tried it out in foreknowledge first.

Once he was sure there were no issues, he officially began.

[Do you wish to consume 10 demon power points to accelerate the cultivation progress of the ‘Cycle of Four Seasons’ by one year?]

“Yes!”

Su Nan’s mind shifted, and instantly, 10 demon power points were consumed from the panel.

The next moment, he clearly felt the “Cycle of Four Seasons Scriptures” rapidly circulating within him.

In a trance, he almost felt as if a long year had passed by in an instant.

During that year, he was cultivating the “Cycle of Four Seasons Scriptures” incessantly.

The sensation was fleeting, coming quickly and leaving just as fast. Feeling the changes in his body, he suddenly discovered a strange new power within him.

That was the power of time!

However, that sliver of the power of time was too weak, almost non-existent, without any use.

Su Nan didn’t stop, continuing to consume demon power.

Instantly, the “Cycle of Four Seasons Scriptures” within him revolved non-stop, and strands of the weak power of time gathered.

That sensation of time rapidly passing came over him again. This time, because he didn’t stop, Su Nan felt it particularly clearly.

Monotonous, tedious—this feeling was torturous, as if he were locked in a cage, a cage where he could only cultivate. Inside that cage, he cultivated day and night.

Su Nan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and even in the beginning he could persevere; however, as time wore on, he was about to lose his patience and stop.

But eventually, he persisted, and instead he gradually fell into it. The monotony and tedium dissipated, and he began to relish this method of cultivation.

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye, two hours went by.

By now, the initial whisper of the power of time in Su Nan’s body had grown a hundredfold, turning into a stream flowing within him.

Finally, after a full one thousand demon power points had been spent, the powers of the ages seemed to reach some critical point and all shook together. The next moment, a wealth of information appeared in Su Nan’s mind.

“I’ve reached the first level!”

Su Nan opened his eyes, which held no surprise, only experience!

For a moment, he seemed like an ancient monster who had silently cultivated for millennia, with no more desires of the world, only yearning for cultivation in his eyes.

It took a while for Su Nan to adjust from that profound experience and look again at the power of time within his body, only now revealing a delighted expression.

“Is this the power of time?”

After more than a dozen foreknowledge attempts, he had come to a significant understanding of the power of time.

According to the outcomes he had explored during his previous foreknowledge, the power of time has three basic techniques.

Time Rewind.

Time Stop.

Time Accelerate.

“The technique of Time Rewind can only be applied to oneself, allowing one to rewind a certain state of oneself back to a previous point in time.”

“For instance, some kind of power inside the body, or healing from bodily harm, but perhaps because the Heavenly Demon’s power of time in the foreknowledge was too weak, I could only rewind one type of state each time.”

“Either I choose to rewind bodily injuries, or I choose to rewind other types of power within the body, except for the power of time.”

“Time Stop, among the three techniques, is the only one that can affect both oneself and others. As the name suggests, after usage, it can make other people’s time come to a standstill.”

“Regrettably, such an ability is obviously against the heavens, and it can only last for an extremely short duration. With the Heavenly Demon’s power of time, I can only make the time around a middle-stage Emperor Grade old man stop for an instant.”

“Time Accelerate, similarly, can only be applied to oneself, accelerating the flow of one’s own time. This is expressed as being able to use certain time-consuming techniques within a short period of time.”

The successive foreknowledge gave Su Nan no small harvest, gaining much insight about the power of time.

Of course, the power of time is definitely not limited to these three uses; these are only the uses that Su Nan has explored so far. If the power of time he controls is strong enough, there will certainly be many more ways to utilize it.

“The Heavenly Demon’s power of time allows it to rewind to its state four minutes earlier.”

“I wonder how the power of time within me now compares to the Heavenly Demon’s power of time?”

With a thought, he tried to mobilize the power of time within his body.

In an instant, he had his answer.

Six minutes!

He could return himself to the state he was in six minutes ago!

That was stronger than the power of time controlled by the Heavenly Demon at the peak of the King-level!

“Not bad! Not bad!” Su Nan nodded, satisfied.

It must be said that this, indeed, was an ancient scripture created by a great Human ability. Although the cultivation process was extremely time-consuming, the outcome was utterly worth the time spent.

However, that wasn’t enough; he still needed a deeper understanding of the uses of the power of time.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another two hours had passed.

A light flashed in Su Nan’s eyes. By now, he had gained a thorough understanding of the power of time within his body.

Now he could not only use the power of time to heal his wounds and restore his Strength, but he could also achieve detailed control.

What is detailed control?

At first, when he used the power of time, he would expend all of it and could reverse his body’s state to five minutes prior.

But now, he could return to the state he was in two minutes ago.

Six minutes had become two minutes.

It seemed like going backward, but in fact, he could now precisely control each expenditure of the power of time.

He could stop the expenditure of the power of time precisely at two minutes, without wasting any additional Strength.

Thus, the power of time that would be exhausted returning to six minutes ago could now be used three times.

Three times the full-health state, three chances to use Racial Talent!

This meant that the duration of his Racial Talent had effectively tripled!

“I am still too weak. If I could precisely control my recovery to one minute, the power of time I possess now would allow me to recover six times!”

The duration of Racial Talents is generally one minute; if he could return to the state one minute prior, he would be able to use Racial Talent once again.

Unfortunately, the power of time is not so easily controlled, and being able to hold it at two minutes is already his current limit.

“The Heavenly Demon’s power of time may not be as strong as mine, but recovering twice should not be a problem. In this way, I could use Racial Talents two times, greatly increasing the chances of passing the trials!”

A gleam flashed in his eyes; these were things one couldn’t grasp even with foreknowledge.

Beyond that, having reached the First Floor with the Four Seasons Cycle Scripture, he also gained a powerful ability similar to a Divine Art.

“Rejuvenation!”

He had obtained the first ability of the Four Seasons Cycle Scripture, called Rejuvenation!

Information about Rejuvenation emerged in his mind, and after a moment, Su Nan’s eyes revealed a look of astonishment.

“Resurrection!”

“This Rejuvenation can actually return someone who has just died to their state six minutes prior, achieving the effect of resurrection!”

Su Nan was stunned; resurrection was an inconceivably defiant act against nature.

The Life and Death Mirror, a Heavenly Sacred Tool in his possession, could also resurrect the dead, but using it would cause a backlash of fate and come with a cost.

Yet, Rejuvenation had no price to pay.

Of course, this act of resurrection had its limits too. The stronger the individual and the longer the time since death, the more power of time it required.

“What a pity, this ability can only be used on others. If it could be used on myself, it would be like having an extra ace up my sleeve!”

Su Nan shook his head. It wasn’t that Rejuvenation couldn’t be applied to himself, but rather because it required active use.

How can a dead person actively use a Divine ability?

If Rejuvenation were effective on himself, the effect would be that after using it, everything within his body—other than the power of time, whether it be bloodline power, Divine Arts, or even his injuries—would return to the state they were in six minutes before.

It would be genuine Time Rewind!

It had the potential to remove all negative effects.
