Chapter 1 A Grotto-Heaven

In a mountain cave, Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged.

Just now, he had tried flying, earth escape, shuffling along, climbing, and other methods again. He even tried wielding saber beams with his magic power, but without exception, they were all displaced, which was very puzzling.

Even after sharing it with others in the Chaos Space, they were all wide-eyed, at a loss. It was obvious that he could move around freely in place, but as long as he tried to leave in any way, he would be displaced immediately, and no pattern could be found.

Since there was no other way, he could only choose the last path.

But through what he had seen today, he felt that in order to successfully sneak into the foreign land, the Gu Clan must have given up a lot, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to see Gu Clan experts suppressing dark creatures in the Black Abyss, leaving behind the image of their severed limbs.

Unfortunately, it was only a severed limb. Even if it had not been completely eroded by time, the runes left behind were incomplete.

Of course, even so, the true meaning of time and space on it was still shocking, as if pointing directly to the Great Dao. It was hard to imagine how far he could go on the path of time and space if he could obtain the complete precious technique of that clan.

Comprehending the precious technique, Jiang Xuan seemed to see a divine gu, one hand severing time, the other destroying space, the vast chaos, as if all within its grasp.

Although it was an illusion, it only showed the wonder of the Gu Clan's precious technique. Even though Jiang Xuan already had some understanding of time and space, he now seemed like a speck of dust, looking up at the sky.

Without seeing such a precious technique, it was impossible to truly understand the mysteries of time and space.

"Even incomplete runes, their exposition of time and space is better than what we can explore on our own."

The complete Gu Clan precious technique was comparable to the heavenly technique of a Immortal King. In any world, it was an incredible level, far beyond mortal imagination. Even a casual technique derived from it was enough to become the peerless skill of a favored child of heaven.

And as Jiang Xuan comprehended it bit by bit, he seemed to see this world more clearly.

"This ancient land is indeed a method left by the Gu Clan experts."

As his comprehension of the Gu Clan runes became more profound, he could vaguely resonate with this world.

In the void, ripples spread out from him as the center, not hindered by this chaotic time and space, but truly transmitted to the distance, stirring the sand and stones.

This was unimaginable before. Previously, no matter what method was used, it seemed that as long as a certain condition was triggered, it would be displaced. But now, he shook the sand and stones in the distance with void ripples, and the sand and stones were not displaced because of it.

"There is hope, but only with void ripples, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a way out." Jiang Xuan was delighted, this was already a great discovery.

He had already comprehended one-third of the runes on the severed limb, and understood a casual technique, "Void Ripples."

It was just that in this chaotic time and space, its true power could not be exerted. If it was outside, the shock of the void ripples would definitely shatter a piece of void directly.

But this also gave him hope. Now, if he used himself as the center and cast void ripples, he would not have to worry about being displaced within its range.

Seeing hope, Jiang Xuan was naturally more motivated, and once again calmed his mind, continuing to comprehend the remaining runes.

According to the current situation, this part of the incomplete runes can at most comprehend three casual techniques.

But if he wanted to use this to leave this ancient land, he estimated that it would still be very difficult. After all, if this was left by Gu Clan experts, then it must not be so simple. To escape with a few casual techniques, he should wake up.

But after all, there was hope, which could allow him to turn passivity into initiative and explore other places in this ancient land.

A month later, Jiang Xuan also had some understanding of the remaining runes, and comprehended two casual techniques: "Instantaneous Movement" and "Tracing Back to the Origin." As his understanding of time and space deepened, the power of his casual techniques would also increase exponentially.

Instantaneous movement allowed him to move arbitrarily within the range that his divine sense could perceive. This could be said to be a divine skill. If he was outside, Jiang Xuan's thoughts could cover tens of thousands of miles, and it could be said that he could move freely within these tens of thousands of miles.

As for tracing back to the origin, it was equally amazing. It could allow him to reverse his own time, instantly returning to his peak state. Of course, there were also restrictions, and it could not be used infinitely. It was extremely similar to the Butian Art, but it was even more mysterious, involving the mysteries of time.

"It seems that I still have to rely on myself to explore."

From the incomplete runes, he could only comprehend incomplete precious techniques, and could only evolve these three casual techniques. Although they were all divine skills, they were more about assistance, and could not allow him to directly leave this ancient land.

Of course, this was also within Jiang Xuan's expectations, so he was not disappointed. What's more, with these three casual techniques, he also had a greater understanding of this ancient land and could see more of the truth.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Xuan got up directly, covered himself with void ripples, truly integrated into this time and space, and then began to move forward.

...

This was a small world, with beautiful mountain peaks undulating, lush trees, and old vines as thick as buckets coiling like dragons. There were also green grass and fragrant wildflowers, full of vitality and life.

However, in this small world, there were flowers, grass, vines, and trees. On the surface, it looked vibrant, but it was easy to find anomalies. Among these mountains, there was not a single thing that could move on its own.

If he casually threw out a stone, it would disappear as soon as it flew out of the range of the void ripples. A leaf would also disappear the moment it left the branch.

Jiang Xuan still had not found any pattern in this. Logically speaking, those plants also had to grow upwards. Previously, he was displaced when he jumped, but the growth of these plants was not displaced.

"Could it be that this ancient land has its own will?"

Jiang Xuan could not help but have this idea. Only in this way could it be explained. The displacement of all existence here was not because of some rules, but because it followed the will of some unknown existence.

"The will of heaven and earth, the spirit of treasures? Impossible, or is the creature who created this place still alive?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this place was unusual. It was too difficult to figure out, and he did not know what the strong man who opened up this place was thinking back then.

Along the way, Jiang Xuan also found many precious medicines, and even obtained a Huanhun grass, which was said to be able to bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh from bones.

In addition, he also found some ruins, like being detached from some buildings, and then displaced and smashed into this time and space.

"There is a building in this ancient land?"

Jiang Xuan seemed to have caught something. The time and space in this ancient land was chaotic. Who could build a building here, and even live in it?

The answer was obvious!

Only the Gu Clan experts who opened up this world in the past could come and go freely in this chaotic time and space.

Jiang Xuan felt something in his heart. This was the key. If he found that building, perhaps he could find a way to leave this place.
