Chapter 1863: Chapter 1863
The valley is the Turquoise Pool, and the Turquoise Pool itself forms a separate space. In this sense, indeed, it might be possible.
However, Su Yang's speculation was quickly overturned.
The old cultivator who had been in the Feather Spirit Palace for over two thousand years was very familiar with the Ancient history. He informed Su Yang that the Nine Realms are connected, so the time in the Nine Realms is the same. Even if the time in the Turquoise Pool is the same as the Human World, there is no concept of double speed.
This left Su Yang bewildered again. If it's not that the time in the Turquoise Pool is faster, then what exactly is the problem here?
Later, it was the same elder who helped Su Yang resolve this doubt.
The elder's analysis was that although the power of the Feather Spirit Palace had leaked out and covered the entire valley, in reality, not much of the power that leaked from the Feather Spirit Palace. The power cloaking the Feather Spirit Palace was something Su Yang and his companions could not enter, while the outside power merely sealed Su Yang and their strength.
Therefore, in such a circumstance, the power cloaking the valley by the Feather Spirit Palace isn't whole, so the flow of time in the valley isn't fast, thus having this possibility of being double!
Although these are speculations, Su Yang currently has nowhere to prove whether these speculations are correct. However, more than two years have passed in the Human World, enough for many things to happen.
Most critically, the Divine Master took away the World Melting Furnace. Two years in the Human World is twenty years in the World Melting Furnace. So much time, if the Divine Master's group has been cultivating in the World Melting Furnace, their progress surely isn't small!
And the situation Black Widow and others described verified Su Yang's speculation.
After Su Yang entered the valley, Qi Zhishan divided the people from Kunlun Mountain into two groups; one followed him out of the mountain to solve external troubles, while another stayed at Kunlun Mountain, trying to rescue Su Yang from the valley.
After Qi Zhishan left Kunlun Mountain, about three months passed without finding the Divine Master's group. This group was hiding in the World Melting Furnace, always cultivating inside.
Meanwhile, the situation in Huaxia changed drastically within these three months.
The Feather Clan's descendants at Kunlun Mountain were effectively wiped out, although the people from Paradise were divided into three groups, each doing different things.
Yet, the Feather Clan's descendants being wiped out at Kunlun Mountain still made the other two groups quickly alert.
Initially, Qi Zhishan told them it was the Divine Master's trap that caught the Feather Clan's descendants. But later, as the Divine Master's group never reappeared, those two groups began to suspect that Qi Zhishan made this up, fabricating a nonexistent person to deceive them.
In this way, these people's wariness and animosity shifted onto Qi Zhishan. Eventually, it evolved into these two groups taking action against Qi Zhishan.
Qi Zhishan's power wasn't weak, but two fists cannot match four hands and surely he wasn't a match for these two groups. Yet Qi Zhishan was also resourceful, finding ways to lead these two groups from Paradise northward, designing traps for the four major sects, leading the four major sects into confrontation with these people from Paradise.
The four major sects originally didn't want direct conflict with Paradise, as their power was definitely weaker than those from Paradise. But Qi Zhishan's plan led the four major sects to kill a few important people of Paradise, causing Paradise to rage and pursue the four major sects unrelentingly.
The four major sects were chased by people from Paradise for over a month, being tired and seeing vividly that they would be surrounded by Paradise, the four major sects even made preparations to fight Paradise to the death.
At this moment, the Divine Master's group finally appeared.
The reappeared Divine Master's group had noticeably improved power. Not only that, they also subdued many fierce beasts from the World Melting Furnace and brought them to the Human World, becoming the strongest force under his command.
After appearing, the Divine Master directly found the people from the four major sects and Paradise, somehow making them all turn to the Divine Master's side. It can be said that the Divine Master's side already possessed the strongest power in the Human World and could completely control it.
Then, the Divine Master truly began his steps toward ruling the Human World. He declared to Heaven that all cultivators must submit to him or face death!
At first, some people didn't comply, but after the Divine Master exterminated some major families, most people became obedient and had to choose to seek refuge with the Divine Master's group.
For those who did seek refuge, the Divine Master was exceptionally generous, not only providing them with plenty of spiritual medicine for cultivation but also selecting outstanding individuals among them and sending them into the World Melting Furnace to cultivate.
The time inside the World Melting Furnace is inherently faster than outside, plus it has stronger gravity, more abundant spiritual energy, and many powerful demon beasts to train against. Naturally, the effectiveness of cultivating inside is far superior to that of the Human World.
With these benefits, more people chose to seek refuge with the Divine Master. Within less than two months, the vast majority of the Human World had basically chosen to align with the Divine Master's side, leaving only a few, which were insignificant.
Then, the Divine Master began to have his people sweep across the Human World, killing all those unwilling to submit to him.
Su Yang and his companions were naturally his main targets. The Divine Master dispatched a large number of people to besiege those from the other six major sects, as well as those on Su Yang's side.
In more than a year, Qi Zhishan led those people outside, skirmishing with the Divine Master's people. They were undoubtedly no match for the Divine Master's group in direct confrontation. However, it's not easy for their side to kill Qi Zhishan, as few could truly threaten Qi Zhishan.
Moreover, most of the Divine Master's strong individuals were cultivating in the World Melting Furnace. Thus, Qi Zhishan and his group barely managed to persist for more than a year.
During this period, some people arrived at Kunlun Mountain, attempting to attack people on Kunlun Mountain.
However, Qi Zhishan and Old Zhang had previously set up a formidable array on Kunlun Mountain. Additionally, Kunlun Mountain was inherently full of dangers, and with the Divine Master not acting personally, Black Widow and others managed to hold out on Kunlun Mountain, though the losses were quite severe.

In more than a year, people on Su Yang's side fell one after another in battle. Those close to Su Yang, those who refused to betray Su Yang even in death, were mostly brutally killed by the Divine Master's people.
Eventually, including Qi Zhishan, fell in a recent direct siege when the Divine Master personally led forces against him. It could be said that Qi Zhishan's downfall basically marked the Divine Master's complete control over the Human World!
It was at this time that Su Yang, leading more than a hundred powerful Land Immortals, finally emerged from the Turquoise Pool!
