Volume 1 Chapter 72: Golden Time and Space

  "Senior brother, I've only vaguely heard about the ancient ruins, but I don't quite understand what's going on inside. How about you?"

  Wang Gan was a bit puzzled in his heart, and he had a habit that whenever he encountered something unfamiliar, he would have a sense of crisis and couldn't act rashly.

  Just like the medieval ruins this time, Yunshan only briefly introduced it, but what was going on inside was vague, and Wang Qian didn't dare to step in casually.

  "As for the ancient ruins, I'm not very clear about it either. That place is extremely mysterious, with countless layers of time and space stacked upon each other. Nobody knows what's going on inside. Even an immortal ancestor once entered it, but was swept away by the chaotic tides of time and space. Until now, he has yet to return to the Tianyuan Continent, his life or death unknown."

  Zhou Qing's face turned solemn, and he began to recount the information he knew.

  Medieval Ruins, a relic of the medieval era, a mysterious and cruel war left behind, various Dao patterns condensed, Shentong imprints experienced long years without decay, chaotic time and space, is a first-class danger zone, but there are also many opportunities within, endless fragments of magical artifacts, vast divine materials, even many secrets of medieval legendary figures hidden within, so for many years, countless cultivators have entered, honing their skills, colliding with opportunities.

  "There was once a loose cultivator, barely at the foundation-building stage, who entered and had an explosive stroke of luck, obtaining the legacy of a powerful ancient figure, as well as a cave mansion or something, and then rapidly advanced all the way to becoming a giant of his generation."

  Zhou Qing said with a sigh of envy, it's obvious that she was extremely jealous, there's no way around it, anyone would be envious and resentful of such a lucky person.

  "Time and space are chaotic, with auras of murder swirling around, it's simply a land of evil. However, the opportunities within are indeed very enticing, no wonder Master suggested we go there."

  Wang Qian now fully understands Yun Shan's intentions. In the cultivation world, no one can have a smooth journey all the way. To break through and achieve immortality, there are countless dangers and life-and-death crises waiting for you along the way. It is obviously impossible to gain extraordinary achievements without experiencing hardships.

  This principle, Wang Qian had long understood, and deep down, a sense of adventurous excitement was rising.

  "Senior brother, let's go for it! The Youth Taoism Conference is something we must participate in. Our current cultivation is not strong enough, we have to take a risk and fight for it, seek wealth and honor in danger!"

  Wang Qian swung his arm fiercely and the two of them set off immediately, leaving Qingyun Mountain and heading towards the ancient ruins.

  The southern region of the Tianyuan continent, a vast and primitive landscape, with various ancient trees and species living within it. As Wang Qian entered this place, he felt that he had completely left behind human civilization.

  Roar!

  A gust of wind came from a dense forest, followed by a massive black shadow that tore through the air, producing a deafening sonic boom. The overwhelming force was about to crush Wang Qian and Zhou Qing into pieces.

  "Violet Scaled Venomous Python!"

  Wang Qian recognized the black shadow at a glance as a giant python with purple scales, its body sturdy and strong. Two long fangs protruded from its mouth, emitting streams of corrosive venom that seemed extremely ferocious.

  Wow!

  This venomous creature has already developed its own spiritual intelligence, understands cultivation, and can be considered a demon. However, in Wang Qian's eyes, it doesn't count as anything. His body is solidified to the extreme, even if this guy bites him, he might not be affected, but instead break off the beast's poisonous fangs.

  It was just such an experience, too disgusting, Wang Qian didn't want to try, a slap was swung out, a dazzling golden divine light directly pierced through the poisonous python's skull.

  He has been pondering the golden bridge stage's offensive and defensive tactics, with a strong and sharp character that is immortal, tenacious, and involves the way of metal, making it the best for attacking.

  His Shore God Fist, with a high and distant intention, has a profound and deep Tao rhyme. He just started to ponder and hasn't truly developed the might of this divine technique yet, but even if it's just pure techniques and killing methods, they're enough to suppress this poisonous python.

  "Junior brother, what kind of technique is this? It's vastly different from your original attacking methods."

  Zhou Qing watched as Wang Qian killed the Purple Scaled Venomous Python with one palm strike, and was somewhat shocked in his heart. Moreover, the flavor of Wang Qian's move just now was completely different from his previous techniques, and the mysterious changes within it were not yet clear to him for a while.

  "Oh? This is a fist technique divine ability that I can use after my cultivation breakthrough, called Beyond Shore Fist. Now I only understand the surface, and half of its power hasn't been unleashed yet."

  Wang Qian slightly shook his head, and instead of being self-satisfied with his previous performance, he felt his own inadequacies and began to deliberate in his mind, conducting a targeted analysis.

  This kind of demeanor, like that of a Confucian scholar, who reflects on himself three times a day, seems to be about pursuing knowledge, yet also resembles quiet cultivation and refinement, with subtleties that are difficult to put into words.

  Two people walked in the wilderness of southern Xinjiang. Along the way, they encountered many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, as well as numerous demons who had achieved spiritual enlightenment.

  The more they traveled, the more cautious the two became. As they ventured deeper into southern Xinjiang, the mountains grew taller and the forests denser. In some valleys, the vast aura emanating from the peaks was enough to make one despair. Not to mention those were truly extraordinary monsters, Yuántāi realm, Huàshén realm, one after another, countless in number.

  It's okay, to the medieval ruins, no need to go too deep into this land, otherwise Wang Qian would suspect that there are immortal boundary old ancestors hidden among them, and a single breath could kill them.

  The location of the ancient ruins is a place where the southern and eastern domains intersect.

  After being cautious for over a dozen days, fortunately Wang Qian and Zhou Qing's cultivation was not bad, they didn't encounter too much danger, and finally arrived at the ancient ruins of Zhonggu.

  In the distance, a vast expanse of misty haze stretches out before me, with various shimmering halos and vague outlines of pavilions and towers. Divine birds and strange beasts dance amidst them, while fairy palaces, divine kingdoms, spiritual springs, and flying waterfalls present themselves all at once in my field of vision. What a breathtaking scene this is!

  Wang Qian carefully extended a strand of his divine sense, and as soon as he approached that region, a weak space-time storm directly erased his divine sense.

  His face turned pale, and Wang Qian was greatly shocked in his heart.

  "This is a scene similar to a mirage, the real situation may be that what we see, who knows how far away in time and space it actually is."

  Zhou Qing furrowed his brow, he hadn't expected that the legendary ancient ruins would be like this.

  "Let's go, this place is very mysterious and dangerous, but it's also an excellent training ground."

  Two people approached the mysterious ruins with great caution.

  Buzz!

  One step forward, time and space reversed, a violent storm seems to be right in front of you, countless black spatial fissures are like tens of millions of sharp divine weapons, crazily cutting through the void, large tracts of chaotic energy burst out, starry rivers shine brightly, time and light fade away.

  Wang Gan broke out in a cold sweat, he thought his luck had run out and he would be killed by the space storm as soon as he arrived here.

  Calm down and investigate carefully, only to find that the scene just now was actually in a distant time and space, at a distance from him that he didn't know how far.

  Turning around, Zhou Qing also had a look of horror on his face, his pale complexion was frightening, this kind of life-and-death experience was too terrifying.

  However, after experiencing what just happened, Wang Qian found that his spiritual cultivation had made progress again. The various fears and desperation at the edge of life and death were a rare experience, and it was not surprising that he could make progress.

  At this moment, Wang Qian finally understood why Yun Shan wanted them to come here for training. This was a treasure land and also a dangerous place. As long as they didn't die, they would definitely gain something. Of course, if they died, everything would be over.

  After calming down, Wang Gan and Zhou Qing began to observe their current surroundings.

  Egg-shaped sky, presenting a pure golden color, as if cast in gold, luxurious and noble. Even they can see the edge of this space-time with one glance.

  In short, they entered an egg-shaped space bubble, and under their feet was not the usual land, but a golden aura, tough and dense, with a very strong texture.

  In the unfamiliar time and space, no one knew what the road ahead was like. The surroundings were filled with golden light, which greatly obstructed vision. Even with Wang Qian's eyesight, he could only see dozens of meters away.

  Quiet, stillness, except for gold, there is no other color.

  Time flies by in a place like this, giving people a very oppressive feeling. It's too quiet, and the only sounds you can hear are your own heartbeat and each other's breathing.
