My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 106 A Great Opportunity

"Is this the former immortal realm? Really?"

Li Chen asked suspiciously, "There is no trace of life essence in this world; it's practically on the verge of destruction."

He sensed it carefully and was quite certain that this was also part of Earth's universe, but it was isolated from the starry universe.

Because this place seems to be flat and the sky is round, only the world is frighteningly large.

Whether it is the Immortal Realm or not is just our speculation.

Qing Xuanzi explained, "Fellow Daoist Li Chen also saw that gate outside. It does indeed resemble the legendary immortal gate, doesn't it? However, we are not sure whether this place was once the immortal realm, because it has its current name, the Spirit Realm."

"There are also indigenous people here, but their numbers are very small."

General Long Zhan reminded everyone, "Let's all go our separate ways and look for opportunities. Thanks to Teacher Li Chen, we should be able to stay for a maximum of one month. We'll reunite here after a month, so don't be late, or you might get trapped."

Because of the different flow of time, a month here is roughly equivalent to twelve two-hour periods in the starry universe, which is a whole day.

"Whoosh—"

"I'm off!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately flew off in all directions at extremely high speeds.

Apart from Qin Xiaotian, everyone else vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Teacher Li Chen, shall we go together?" Qin Xiaotian asked Li Chen.

I think I'll act alone.

Li Chen asked, "Are there strong individuals in this world?"

"At least when they came in, they hadn't seen any powerful figures, and even the people here couldn't cultivate."

Qin Xiaotian replied, "But that was during the Eternal Silence Era. It's hard to say now. In any case, it's always better to be careful."

Li Chen nodded, took a step, and appeared directly on the horizon.

Because he can teleport, or even teleport, he has a great advantage in such exploration activities.

"Swish, swish, swish——"

Li Chen teleported repeatedly, each teleportation taking him thousands of miles away, his divine sense constantly sweeping across the area, searching for the so-called treasure.

Although he doesn't have a strong desire for treasures, this place is very likely the immortal realm of the ancient era. What if there really are treasures that can tempt him?

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

However, almost everywhere he went, there were ruins.

The earth was cracked and dry, and there were ruins everywhere.

However, in some places, there are incredibly terrifying skeletons. Although the skeletons will dissipate as soon as you get close, you can still see the former prosperity.

Seeing those skeletons, Li Chen began to believe that this was indeed the Immortal Realm.

Finally, after another half day, Li Chen arrived above a Gobi Desert, his divine sense spreading out in all directions like a tidal wave.

A coverage area with a radius of one thousand kilometers seems insignificant in this vast expanse of land.

This "spirit realm" is so vast that even his Spacetime Divine Eye cannot see its boundaries.

But at that moment, all six grotto-heavens within his body trembled slightly, especially the nascent [Longevity Grotto-heaven], which resonated faintly in a certain direction.

"East----"

Li Chen cast his gaze toward the horizon, took a step, and was already a thousand miles away.

He moved so fast that each step filled the void, and he could take thousands of steps per second, constantly traversing the void.

Fearing he would miss a great opportunity, he didn't dare use the Great Teleportation, but this teleportation speed was still quite fast.

After tens of thousands of spatial crossings, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

The boundless Gobi Desert has disappeared, replaced by a vast expanse of undulating ruins.

The crumbling walls rise high into the clouds, and the outline of the palace can still be vaguely seen, but it has been eroded beyond recognition by the years.

Even more strangely, there wasn't a sound of wind in the air.

Even the air seemed to freeze, leaving only a heavy, suffocating sense of time settling.

"Time flow rate is abnormal."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, and his Space-Time Divine Eyes activated automatically.

Under his silvery-gray vision, he saw dense "time folds" interwoven above the ruins, like an ancient scroll that had been crumpled and then barely unfolded.

These folds of time separate this place from the flow of time in the outside world—one month in the outside world might be a hundred years in this place.

In the center of the ruins, a half-collapsed white jade altar stands silently.

On the altar, a skeleton sitting cross-legged emitted a shimmering, jade-like light.

The skeleton had no flesh and blood, but the bones were as smooth as jade, with seven-colored Daoist rhymes flowing across the surface. Each bone seemed to be condensed from the purest Daoist principles.

At the location of the skeleton's heart, a walnut-sized, chaotic-colored ball of light floated, slowly rotating and emitting an ancient aura that caused all six grottoes of Li Chen to tremble simultaneously.

"The bones of an immortal—a remnant of the Dao?"

Li Chen walked slowly closer and stopped ten feet away from the altar.

Because he saw that the altar was surrounded by an exquisite set of spacetime restrictions—not for defense, but for sealing.

The restrictions slowed down the flow of time here by ten thousand times, and the spatial layering completely sealed off the aura of the remains. If Li Chen had not possessed the Divine Eye of Time and Space and resonated with the Six Heavenly Caves, he would never have been able to discover this place.

"Was this arrangement made before his death to await a destined person, or—"

He was surprised to find that his ability to read information through his Spacetime Divine Eyes seemed to be ineffective here.

Perhaps it's because the level of the restrictions and the skeletons is too high.

Therefore, it is clear that this skeleton is probably not as simple as the remains of an ordinary immortal.

Li Chen's mind raced, and he raised his right hand. The silver-gray spacetime divine power transformed into fine threads, reaching out towards the restriction node like tentacles.

Instead of forcibly breaking the seal, he used his divine power of time and space to simulate the operating frequency of the restriction, gradually integrating and analyzing it.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

As the last fold of spacetime was straightened and the restriction silently dissipated, the different flows of time suddenly began to level off.

Clearly, the special restriction on the flow of time that interfered with the process has completely disappeared.

"Buzz!"

That immortal bone suddenly burst forth with boundless radiance!

Seven-colored Daoist energy soared into the sky, weaving together ancient scenes above the ruins:

There are immortals who point to the sky and draw lines on the earth, splitting mountains and breaking peaks;

There were immortals discussing the Dao, and golden lotuses were everywhere;

Even more apocalyptic scenes unfolded, with the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, and immortals' blood staining the heavens—

Finally, all the images converged, transforming into an ancient and distant voice that resounded directly in Li Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Fellow Daoists of the future, having broken my restrictions, shall inherit my lineage."

"My name is Xuanji, a Golden Immortal from the last era of ancient cultivation. With a great calamity looming, I sealed this place with my remaining body, leaving behind a copy of the *Nine Revolutions Dao Mystery Scripture*, three strands of my natal Dao principles, and ten thousand bushels of immortal essence, awaiting a destined person to claim them."

"I have only one thing to tell you: the change of eras is not a natural cycle, but rather—a great terror is stealing from the heavens."

As soon as he finished speaking, his immortal bones crumbled inch by inch, turning into countless points of light.

The chaotic ball of light shone brightly and flew straight toward Li Chen's brow.

Li Chen did not dodge.

Because the moment the restriction was broken, he sensed that the inheritance was not malicious, but rather contained an almost tragic entrustment.

The light entered the body and transformed into a massive torrent of information.

The Nine Revolutions Dao Mystery Scripture is the fundamental method of ancient Golden Immortals, pointing directly to the Great Luo realm.

The three strands of natal Dao principles correspond to "the unity of the five elements", "the derivation of time and space", and "the cycle of life and death".

The Myriad Immortal Source is the ultimate condensation of the origin of heaven and earth; each bushel is enough to allow an ordinary person to break through a small realm in the King Realm.

But Li Chen's attention was drawn to the phrase "a great terror that steals from the heavens".

Because his "Void Divine Scripture" is far superior to this "Nine Revolutions Dao Mystery Scripture" in terms of its conception.

However, the "Nine Revolutions Daoist Scripture" does have good reference value.

"Stealing the Heavens—"

He thought of the sudden arrival of the eternal silence of the Earth and the universe, the isolation between the spirit world and the starry universe, and the fear and greed of those lurking old gods for the "taboo".
