Chapter 579 – Stopwatch, Sewer, and Potential Dao
Previously, Miaomiao used his dark domain to hide his supreme stopwatch.
…
Stopwatch of Time Sovereign (System Artifact) (Soulbound)
*This item can only be used by Mao Miaomiao.
This artifact amplifies the power of Chrono Element for Mao Miaomiao at the price of his lifespan. It comes with three functions.
Time Stopper
Time Stopper mimics Mao Miaomiao's power to freeze time flow. Its domain range is 100 kilometers. Upon activation, the watch consumes 100 years of lifespan from the user, and the effect lasts one minute.
The user may increase the time-stopping range by increasing the lifespan consumption rate.
Time Accelerator
Time Accelerator generates a 100-kilometer-radius time domain, which instantly hastens the flow of time by 100 years. The watch consumes 100 years of lifespan per activation.
Time Decelerator
This function turns everything in a radius of 100 kilometers into a slow motion. People, objects, living creatures, and other lifeforms can move at 10% of their usual speed. The consumption rate is 100 years of lifespan per activation, and the duration is one minute.
…
It was a luxurious gadget. Miaomiao could squander his lifespan without using his Chrono Element Qi to use his time abilities, which could be useful in dire situations.
Miaomiao had tested it on Xie Fan. While the clock stopped time, he stripped Xie Fan and fondled her slim body and the abnormal-sized mountains. He also licked her private parts until her nipples and clit were hard. Then, he left her with souvenirs, aka the nipple clips, to celebrate their first secret interaction.
Afterward, he moved through shadow to the centipede pit. Then, he shape-shifted into an adult centipede to blend in with his children.
Under the centipede pit, Miaomiao had been busy digging the ground toward the city's sewer system, creating a secret passage to move out of this city undetected.
It only took him a minute to connect the centipede pit with a sewer system.
However, his action had a consequence. A few baby centipedes followed after Miaomiao and entered the sewer as well.
The stinky wastewater of the sewer system hid dead animals, pieces of rotten human flesh, and broken objects. The environment here was unsuitable for humans and immortals. But for the gross eaters like the centipedes, this place was a paradise!
The centipedes jumped into the sewer and beelined toward the nearest rotten corpses.
The commotion attracted other centipedes. A few adult centipedes expanded the hole and brought more of their brothers and sisters to the sewer.
A hundred thousand baby centipedes flooded this place, and more adult centipedes began to migrate to the new environment to find food!
Miaomiao was also aware of his children's potential threat to the ecosystem and the entire city. Yet, he chose not to stop the centipedes from migrating here.
He had a dangerous thought.
'What if I secretly raise an army of immortal centipedes here? I might need them just in case I have to wage war against Xie Xuanyuan and other grand elders. I know that maintaining a low profile is nice and all, but I should prepare for the worst-case scenario, especially when Xie Tian is preparing to raid his clan. I can't underestimate my protagonist's luck.'
Miaomiao scanned the sewer tunnels with his Qi sense to map the sewer system.
The sewer was simple. They had been organized into rooms and pathways so that they could easily be cleaned.
Watergates from households connected to these blocks. The waterway and sewer pipes allowed other water sources to drive nasty water toward the exit drainage. Watergates also moved up and down automatically to manage the water flow.
The sewer was practically a maze. Fortunately, no monster or people lurked here.
Since the entire sewer was a maze, Miaomiao decided to hide a few baby centipedes here. As for the adults, he would sell them to the other cultivators to let the local people adapt to the trend.
Once everyone got used to the presence of pet centipedes, bold tactics, such as a centipede raid or a disease outbreak might be possible. Then, he could acquire more corpses…
Miaomiao slapped his face. His thought became somewhat sinister, and he didn't like it.
Miaomiao suppressed his greed and dark fantasy. For now, he directed the baby centipedes to follow the water stream while the adults were ordered to guard the secret passageway.
The wastewater stream led Miaomiao a kilometer away from the city toward an exit.
Miaomiao scouted the area and discovered that the exit passageway was isolated and abandoned. He embedded twenty 4th-grade soul stones as the core of a cloak array to hide his children's presence.
The sewer passage automatically directed wastewater here, and the new centipede nest was the room next to the exit drainage. The water would bring food to the centipedes, and the grown-up babies could slip outside the city.
Miaomiao grinned as he started to have fun. He ordered all centipedes to stay in the array while he moved out of the drainage to scout ahead.
The exit drainage brought him to a waterfall. Clean water rushed down from one of the mountains and washed away the dirty water from the sewer.
Miaomiao frowned as he disapproved of the local city's system. The water from the sewer might contaminate the river, and the ecosystem might be ruined.
Fortunately, the liquid from the waterfall was neither mineral water nor natural water. Miaomiao immediately noticed the burning hot Qi from the waterfall.
The river, produced by the waterfall, was hotter than lava, and it had acidic properties. Miaomiao accidentally touched it, and the water melted a portion of Miaomiao's scales.
Thick fume of acidic gas covered the entire area.
'This place is too dangerous for my babies. I have to find another exit route.'
Miaomiao was disappointed as his centipedes might not survive in this environment. For now, he put the matter to the back of his head. His grand scheme could wait as he needed to fulfill a promise first.
Miaomiao summoned Xie Tian out.
Xie Tian came out of the dantian world. Now, he had a physical body, and he could wander on his own.
Many droplets of acidic liquid rained upon Miaomiao and Xie Tian, but both men's self-healing speed negated the damage.
Xie Tian frowned as he gazed at the waterfall.
"Isn't this the Purgatory Waterfall from the 13th Initiate Peak? Why are we here, master?"
"Hiding from Xie Fan and Xie Lian."
"Oh," Xie Tian let out a sigh of relief. He thought that Miaomiao had fled from someone to a dangerous part of the planet. "Come to think of it, master. You haven't comprehended the Dao of Purgatory yet. How about you use this chance to comprehend the Dao by using the environment? The new wife of yours… what's her name?"
"Queen Gu."
"Ah, the Queen of Poison. Right, you should make her your next Dao Sentinel and put her on a poison-based elemental continent. Since Queen Gu is a poison centipede, the acidic properties of this waterfall and the Purgatory Dao should be compatible with her."
"I know. I'm planning to do that."
Miaomiao inwardly laughed. He believed that this encounter was the perk of being a protagonist.
Many protagonists often found rare places and got power-ups from them. Miaomiao, too, might gain something from this mysterious place.
He sat down to meditate.
"You go save your father. I'll stay here and comprehend the Dao."
"What about your shop?" Xie Tian was curious how Miaomiao would deal with Xie Fan, Xie Lian, and the centipede shop.
"I'll send my clone there to manage the shop."
"I see. Well, I'll be going ahead. But before that," Xie Tian bashfully smiled. "Can I have some pocket money? Your quarries and mines have been producing a lot of 4th-grade soul stones. Can I have like… 1,000 stones?
"… Am I your father now?"
"But your counterpart is my master, so you are my master. A mentor must take care of his disciples, right?"
"…"
It seemed that Xie Tian hadn't lost his protagonist's charm. He began to demonstrate his shameless side, which most main characters in Freewebnovels had.
Miaomiao gave Xie Tian a spatial ring, a thousand 4th-grade soul stones, several bottles of Qi Replenishing pills, and heaven-grade protective gears that he couldn't use. He also moved Yan Jiao to Xie Tian's dantian space, allowing the husband and wife to be together.
Xie Tian was delighted when Miaomiao transferred Yan Jiao's ownership to him. He bowed to Miaomiao, "Thank you, master! Once I rescue my father, I'll come back ASAP!"
"Yeah, go. Enjoy your honeymoon."
Xie Tian giggled and began adjusting his conditions. His cultivation rapidly increased.
Unfortunately, the physical body was still too weak to handle Xie Tian's full strength. He suppressed his cultivation base to 3-Star Stellar Constellation Realm.
As soon as Xie Tian's strength stabilized, he bid Miaomiao farewell and flew to space.
After Xie Tian had left, Miaomiao reverted to the angel form. His shadow emerged and manifested. The black silhouette shed the dark skin and transformed into another black-winged angel with Miaomiao's face.
Miaomiao created a clone. He split his consciousness into three and inject one of them into the body of the clone.
Now, Miaomiao was controlling three bodies at once: The body in the real world, the body in dantian space, and the clone. He could even see and sense everything that all his bodies did.
The clone flew back to the city without saying anything. Miaomiao's main body closed his eyes and began absorbing the Qi and comprehending the natural aura of this waterfall.
…
Five minutes later, Miaomiao opened his eyes and facepalmed.
"I'm stupid."
Miaomiao forgot that he shouldn't be cultivating in the real world. The job should be done inside his dantian space, where time was not an issue.
He walked toward the river and began scooping the corrosive water into his system inventory.
Meanwhile, the body inside the dantian space was busy digging a massive hole on the Terra Continent, preparing to import the Purgatory Water from the waterfall to the pocket dimension.
As soon as Miaomiao inside the dantian space finished his preparation, Miaomiao in the real world hovered over the river and opened a portal to his world.
However, the portal was directly opened inside the river. Purgatory water gushed into the dantian space right away!
The stream of purgatory water entered the hole that Miaomiao had prepared earlier. It soon turned into a lake.
Miaomiao waited for the lake to be filled. He kept staring at the portal.
…
A day later, the Terra Continent gathered enough purgatory water.
The lake now emitted strange Qi, which attracted Dian Wei and Diaochan. Both sinister women took off their clothes and jumped in there, playing with the poisonous water.
Although the corrosive water was dangerous, these women were immune to the power of corrosion. They treated it as a hot spring.
On the other hand, other women looked at Diaochan and Dian Wei in envy. They began pestering Miaomiao to create another hot spring for them as well.
Without a choice, Miaomiao added another project to the list. He would cultivate another compound element continent for the sake of his wives even though this element might be useless in battle.
According to the other timelines and Xie Tian's memory, the compound element was called Magma Rock Spring. It was the combination of Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Poison Elements. This element was not hard to cultivate, but recultivating the ingredient elements took time, especially when Miaomiao already had their upgraded versions.
'Haiz. Work! Work! Work! I'm such a busy man.'
Miaomiao closed the portal to his dantian world. He returned to the sewer to check on his baby centipedes.
Meanwhile, the other consciousness in the dantian space had fun with the new toy.
In the dantian space, Miaomiao gathered all his wives. Then, he used the watch to stop time, wasting his lifespans for fun.
The wives were confused at first. When the time-stopping power had worn off, they realized what Miaomiao did.
Their entire bodies were violated in secret. The delayed pleasure hit them.
Miaomiao grinned as he watched all of his wives fall to the ground and squirted at the same time. White liquid gushed out of their private holes like a fountain.
"Miaomiao, you idiot!" Xu Chu covered her crotch using both hands. Yet, she couldn't stop coming.
Miaomiao smirked. He pressed the watch again.
A second later, Xu Chu found herself laying on the ground, facing the sky. Her belly swell as several liters of Miaomiao's semen were inside her.
She screamed, and her body jerked upward. Her eyes rolled upward in ecstasy.
Miaomiao looked at Liu Guang, Diaochan, and Chang'e, who were always naughty.
"This is a warning to you all. If you harm or bully new members here, I'll punish you so hard that won't be able to walk straight ever again!"
"…"
