Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 169 VIP Upgrade! Amazing Reward: Dao Ancestor-Level Time Law!

"No, are you thinking in the wrong place?" Shen Yun quickly corrected the girl:

"Alright, I'm not going to disappear, as long as you behave..."

"Miaoling will be obedient, Miaoling will listen to you from now on!" Tu Miaoling, her face streaked with tears, nodded repeatedly, her voice trembling.

"Miaoling will never again...never again let her senior waste any more of his essence."

"You're on the right track! I finally got you back on track! Tricks really work..." Shen Yun patted her smooth back and whispered:

"Alright, hurry up and pack your clothes, we'll be leaving in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

"Hmm..." Tu Miaoling got up and wiped away her tears:

"Senior, Miaoling will never worry you again~..."

"That's right." Shen Yun smiled and waved, then put on his long robe and struck while the iron was hot.

"I know you are filled with anxiety, and I know you rely on me. Now I'll tell you the truth: I am not a cultivator of this realm. Apart from the Heavenly Dao, even the Great Emperor himself cannot do anything to me!"

When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

Anyway, I'll still need to spend money to buy treasures for Tu Miaoling in the future.

Now is the time to elevate his status. When he gives away high-level items later, he can simply say that he recovers quickly to avoid arousing Tu Miaoling's suspicion.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Yun felt that the hole had been filled fairly well.

"What?!" Tu Miaoling was shocked: "Senior, are you perhaps an immortal?!"

"That's one way to understand it," Shen Yun said with a calm smile. "So don't worry about me going into a deep sleep; the depleted essence will replenish itself."

'Phew, that's good...' Tu Miaoling was completely relieved.

The fact that her senior was willing to tell her this big secret meant that he already considered her one of his own.

Emboldened by their previous open embrace, Tu Miaoling voiced her earlier doubts:

"Senior...are all those cultivators backed by immortals? Is there a purpose behind their actions?"

"I don't know either." Shen Yun shook his head, his tone wistful.

"As for the purpose, perhaps only God knows."

"However, one thing is certain." He stood up, looked at Tu Miaoling, and smiled:

"They are not as powerful as me, otherwise that Flying Flower Immortal Leaf would not have fallen into your hands so easily."

"That's true!" Tu Miaoling smiled broadly.

"Senior is undoubtedly the most powerful!"

From this perspective, there is indeed a huge gap between those people and their predecessors!

"It's time to go back." Shen Yun glanced at the countdown to the end of the event:

"I'll go back and recover first. You can contact me by voice if you need anything."

"Mm!" Tu Miaoling nodded, and in a flash, she found herself in a private room at Baofu Tower.

'Oh dear! I haven't even asked why my senior is so kind to me!' Tu Miaoling reached into her collar, took out the pendant she was holding, and clutched it tightly in her hand:

'Never mind, he's recovering right now, I shouldn't disturb him...'

Recalling the extraordinary journey of the day, a gentle smile appeared on her lips as she murmured to herself:

"Thank you, senior. Miaoling is very happy today..."

Immortal objects, numerous treasures, and the cultivation level of the third stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm—these are all top-tier gains!

Most importantly, she became someone recognized by her seniors and learned their secrets.

But then, Tu Miaoling cupped her slightly flushed cheeks:

'I hope my senior didn't notice when I confided in him earlier...'

She was so scared at the time that she finally spoke her mind.

Looking back now, I realize how incredibly bold I was!

The senior took care of her like a devoted master, and she regarded him as a highly accomplished person.

But slowly, she actually... fell in love with her senior?!

'Wouldn't that make me a rebellious disciple?'

'No, I'm not his disciple! Besides, why can those cultivators do it but I can't?'

'I don't care, anyway, Senior is mine!' Tu Miaoling, her cheeks flushed, leaned on the table, smiling as she fiddled with the crystal pendant in her hand.

No one can take you away from me!

A moment later, the surge of spiritual energy within her helped her regain her composure:

'The reward of cultivation points has been distributed!'

She slipped into the secret cultivation chamber inside the building...

……

"The lottery draw is here!!" As soon as Shen Yun returned to reality, he couldn't wait to take out his phone and open the VIP section of the game "Seeking Immortals".

[Ding! Congratulations! Your spending has reached 6000 million! VIP level upgraded to 6, abilities unlocked:]

[VIP Basic Ability: Automatic cultivation acceleration effect further enhanced!]

[VIP Level 6 Special Ability: Dao Ancestor's Law - The Profound Meaning of Time]

[Quality: Superior]

[The Secret of Time: The ability to manipulate time.]

The profound mysteries of time are divided into three stages: the initial stage (the ability to control time), the intermediate stage (influencing cause and effect), and the final stage (attaining the Dao Ancestor).

[Currently in the early stages of the Time Mystery, the first stage of automatic cultivation has been activated: Time Stop? 6? 8.]

[Ability - Time Stop? 6? 8: The flow of time around the seal.]

"Holy crap, a Celestial-level Law?!" Shen Yun's pupils constricted: "And it's the Time Dao Ancestor?!"

Judging by quality alone, it's even better than the Emperor-grade!

Moreover, it's a time law at the Dao Ancestor level!

He had seen the relevant descriptions of the rules on the game's official website:

Time reigns supreme, space is king! Destiny is unpredictable, cause and effect are supreme!

He directly rewarded the Time Law with this, which was incredibly powerful.

Shen Yun was once again amazed by the VIP rewards.

No wonder the game blocked the recharge channel when it launched.

With this kind of reward, wouldn't everyone become a Dao Ancestor?!

Luckily, he's wealthy enough to spend so much money; otherwise, who knows when he'd get such a top-tier reward!

"Ah, that feels so good!" Shen Yun smiled broadly, sensing the extra time-stopping information in his mind.

Previously, it was said that there were no laws in the Transcendent Realm, but now it's top-tier!

'Let's see how much I need to spend next...' He clicked on the spending progress bar and saw:

Upgrading to VIP7 requires a spending limit of 100 million!

'One hundred million... and I've only spent 6092 million so far.' Looking at the extra 4000 million in spending limits, he still felt the pressure.

I'll have to spend more money soon, otherwise I'll be in even more trouble when the promotional events come around.

If my prediction is correct, the next promotional event is just around the corner.

At this moment, Shen Yun sensed that the spiritual energy within his body was gradually beginning to boil:

'We should be able to reach the Dharma Aspect Realm by now!'

Full of anticipation, he quickly sat down cross-legged and took out all the spirit stones in his space:

"I don't know if it will be enough..."

He consumed no less than 100,000 spirit stones to break through to the Mortal Realm. Although the remaining ones were mid-grade spirit stones, the higher the realm, the more spiritual energy was consumed.

In order to ensure a smooth breakthrough, Shen Yun took out all the pills that replenished spiritual energy from his spatial storage.

There are a total of four pills: a fifth-grade low-level Spirit Replenishing Pill, a sixth-grade mid-level Sea Spirit Pill, a seventh-grade low-level Breakthrough Pill, and a Flying Pill.

These are all feedback pills that Hongxi refined for him.

Once he was ready, he took a deep breath and entered cultivation mode.

Before long, astonishing energy fluctuations emanated from Shen Yun's body.

The surrounding spirit stones trembled, sending out streams of spiritual energy that flowed into his body.

[The Fourth Level of Mortal Transformation...]

[The Fifth Level of Mortal Transformation...]

[Seven Levels of Mortal Transformation...]
