Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 70 The Realm of Time
This is a space-time continuum where every night you return to the beginning and start a new, endless cycle. Now, everyone is entering this space, and every day you must start this endless cycle again. Only by breaking this pattern can you leave this place and pass this test.

Lan Tian racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution. Every day was the same; no matter what he did, things would revert to the same state the next day. This left everyone exhausted and tormented. Frustrated beyond measure, Lan Tian unknowingly arrived at this stone tower. Looking at the small island before him, he was utterly perplexed. How could there be no way out? This space must have a location or method to exit.

Lan Tian sat down against the stone tower, watching as night approached. He slowly sat up; he needed to fly back to the camp below. He glanced back at the tower and suddenly saw something—the marks they had left from their first visit. Yes, Lan Tian was certain they were the marks from the first day. How could this be? Shouldn't everything be restored to its original state by the second day? Why wouldn't this tower be restored to its original state?

Lan Tian suddenly realized something: if he stayed here, would he return to the camp the next day? If he did, this place would remain the same. But if he was still here by the stone tower the next morning, then this place was the key to getting out of here. Lan Tian decided to spend the night here and see what he could gain!
……

The next morning, Qin Lei didn't see Lan Tian beside him as usual. What happened? Lan Tian didn't appear in today's cycle. Where did Lan Tian go?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Lantian flew back from the mountains and greeted everyone with great excitement.

"I've found a place where the loop won't repeat itself—it's that stone tower. I spent the night there last night, and this morning there was no loop; I was still at the stone tower. So that's the key to our escape from here," Lan Tian told everyone.

"Let's go and see what secrets it holds." They all flew to the stone tower and carefully searched for anything unusual, looking for any mechanisms to escape. They searched everywhere but found nothing.

"Let's all stay here tonight and see what happens tomorrow morning." Lan Tian thought that since nothing had been discovered, they should stay here tonight and see how things went tomorrow, and whether anything would change here.

Everyone agreed with Lantian's suggestion and decided to stay overnight to discuss it further. And so, everyone spent the night at the stone tower, to see if the cycle would repeat itself.

The next morning, everyone awoke to find themselves truly together, all in the same stone tower. Then, something seemed to happen to the tower. A switch appeared on the first floor, a switch with unusually fluctuating energy. Was this the switch that allowed them to leave?

After everyone unanimously decided that this was the switch to leave, and that Lantian should activate it. Lantian simply reached out and activated the switch.

"Rumble"

A massive pillar of light erupted from the top of the tower, accompanied by a booming sound. Energy gathered above the entire tower, forming an invincible rainbow. This was the opening of a time-space tunnel to leave this place. This enormous rainbow was the portal to escape through time.

Before long, everyone filed in and disappeared into the space-time continuum. One after another, the beams of light vanished, and everyone returned to the hall. Soon after, the gate to the Time Realm disappeared, leaving only a stone door. The fluctuations inside were abnormal. The three demons had been inside for quite some time; it was unknown how they were doing inside!

There's only one last stone gate left. Everyone should rest and recover their strength before going in. Those three demons aren't so easy to deal with! Lan Tian and the others calmly sat cross-legged to cultivate, trying to recover their cultivation and replenish their depleted energy as quickly as possible. Several hours later, everyone had basically recovered.

"The three demons have already entered this space before us. We must stay together when we go in; we can't separate. That way, we can better deal with them," Lan Tian said to everyone. No matter what happens, everyone must stick together to unleash their combined power. "Prepare to go. Uncle Lei, you go first. The Yu brothers are in the middle, and the third senior brother from the temple and I will be at the back," Lan Tian instructed. Together, they stepped through the last stone door and entered this mysterious space.

In a flash, they found themselves in a dark, damp underground world filled with dark energy. A winding tunnel stretched out before them, seemingly endless. There was only one path, no other way but to venture forward.

Qin Lei scouted ahead and found that the area where the demons had passed had been the site of a fierce battle. Not far ahead lay the corpses of demonic beasts, lying haphazardly. The tunnel was filled with the stench of blood, making it difficult to breathe.

"Everyone be careful, there are many wild beasts roaming here, and they all look to be high-level. Make sure you don't get separated," Qin Lei said to those behind him. From his observation, the demons must have expended a lot of energy to deal with these beasts, and he didn't know if they were still alive or had been eaten!

These corpses look like they just died recently, and some of them even seem to be warm. Something's not right! Lan Tian thought to himself, "We've all been here for quite a while now. The first two secret realms took us a long time to complete, almost half a year has passed. How come the three demons are here, seemingly not far from us? There must be something fishy going on. There's definitely something wrong here."

"Everyone, prepare for battle. We might encounter demons or wild beasts ahead," Lan Tian shouted to everyone, reminding them to be more prepared.

"whoosh whoosh"

Something is moving towards us from ahead. It's huge, and it's causing a massive earthquake. This is going to be tough; we're facing a battle right after we entered.

"Prepare for battle, everyone get into defensive positions."

In the blink of an eye, the enormous creature appeared before them. It was truly gigantic, a colossal, ninth-tier, gray-black, glossy demonic scorpion spider. This beast possessed a magical poison attack; once inhaled, it would cause hallucinations, creating illusions of one's deepest fears.

Qin Lei had seen this kind of monster before. He knew that he had to be very careful and that the best defense was to prevent it from releasing its poison.

"Oh no! Everyone, quickly back up! Don't inhale its poisonous gas!" Qin Lei said anxiously to everyone, and hurriedly retreated himself.

"Clang, crack, crack." Lan Tian had no time to dodge and hurriedly created ice walls to block the monster, preventing the poisonous gas from getting through and protecting everyone from its poisonous gas attack.
