My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

"This is the 'Great Dao Contract Talisman,' witnessed by the Great Dao of the Divine Realm. If the person who makes the oath breaks the contract, they will be devoured by the Great Dao. At best, their laws will shatter; at worst, they will perish on the spot."

"We can draw up a pact: during the exploration of the ruins, neither party shall attack the other, nor shall either party deliberately conceal important information, and the treasures obtained shall be distributed fairly. Anyone who violates this pact shall be subject to the wrath of the Great Dao."

Meng Chuan stared at the golden contract talisman in silence for a long while.

He had heard of the Heavenly Contract Talisman in the market of Wanfa Island. It was indeed a binding method used in the Divine Realm, and it was quite expensive, costing three high-grade divine crystals for each one.

The fact that Gu Changyuan could produce this item at least shows that he genuinely wanted to do this deal.

"There's one more question."

Meng Chuan looked up into Gu Changyuan's eyes. "Tell me honestly how dangerous the ruins are. With our combined strength, what are our chances of survival if we go in?"

Gu Changyuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "To be honest, I don't know."

"Although the natural formations on the outer perimeter weaken during the decay period, my senior brother has not been able to detect the situation inside the ruins."

"There may be ancient traps and mechanisms inside, there may be sleeping beasts, and there may even be beings that even the highest saints fear."

"I can only say that, with Fellow Daoist Meng's strength and my preparations, the probability of survival... should not be low."

It shouldn't be low?

Meng Chuan remained silent.

Exploring unknown ruins, especially those involving high-ranking sages, is certainly fraught with danger.

However, dangerous places often harbor hidden opportunities.

His current internal microcosm needs top-tier rare treasures to grow rapidly.

Even with arduous cultivation, it's not certain that one can advance to the Middle World even after 100,000 years.

However, if one can obtain some rare and precious treasures and allow them to take root in the inner world, the growth rate of the world will increase exponentially.

"it is good."

Meng Chuan made his decision: "I'll take this deal."

Gu Changyuan's face lit up with delight: "Fellow Daoist Meng is so straightforward!"

He pushed the Heavenly Contract Talisman in front of Meng Chuan, "Since that's the case, shall we establish the contract now?"

Meng Chuan nodded, placed his hand on the contract talisman, and infused it with his divine sense.

The golden runes lit up, transforming into two streams of light that disappeared into the brows of Meng Chuan and Gu Changyuan respectively.

In the darkness, a mysterious force of rules established a connection between them.

The contract is established.

Both of them simultaneously sensed an invisible force watching them—it was the will of the Divine Realm.

Any violation will inevitably result in repercussions.

Gu Changyuan put away the remnants of the contract talisman, his smile becoming more sincere: "From now on, we're in the same boat."

He took out a jade slip from his robes and handed it to Meng Chuan: "This contains the exact location of the ruins and the survey data of the outer array. Familiarize yourself with it first. One hundred and ninety years from now, we will meet at 'Cangqing Town' at the foot of the Cangqing Mountains and then enter the mountains together."

Meng Chuan took the jade slip and put it into his pocket.

"Oh, right—"

Gu Changyuan suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Meng, I suggest you put aside your mission to find the Time-Space Stone for now. Spatial turbulence is dangerous and unpredictable. If you get injured, it will affect your subsequent actions, and the loss will outweigh the gain."

I know what I'm doing.

Meng Chuan stood up. "See you in Cangqing Town, 190 years from now."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left the teahouse.

Stepping out of Tingtao Pavilion, a sea breeze greets you, carrying a salty and damp scent.

The other party's suggestion was good, but he had no intention of listening to it!

As for the Time-Space Stone, he accepted that mission not for the reward of over two hundred high-grade divine crystals, but for the Time-Space Stone itself, because it was a rare treasure that could assist the growth of his inner world.

Just from the name, you can guess that it involves the laws of time and space.

If he incorporates it into his own inner world and merges it with his own, it should be of great help to him in continuing to integrate the perfect laws of time.

It can both enhance the inner world and aid in the fusion of the perfect time law...

This is far beyond what a mere two hundred or so high-grade divine crystals can compare to!

Spatial turbulence may be dangerous, but when has Meng Chuan ever been afraid of danger?

He checked the direction and, instead of setting off immediately, went back to the inn first.

Meng Chuan did not disturb Yan Qing and Tapa. He simply left a communication jade slip in the courtyard, explaining that he would be leaving for a while and that they should focus on their cultivation without worrying and wait for his return.

If he can obtain the Time-Space Stone this time, he doesn't plan to return to Wanfa Island anytime soon.

He planned to visit the Divine Realm Continent, traveling to the place he had agreed to meet with Gu Changyuan while also exploring the continent.

……

West of Wanfa Island, in the sea area of ​​thirty million li.

Meng Chuan walked on air, with the boundless blue sea beneath his feet. Occasionally, a few scattered islands could be seen dotting the sea, like shards of jade scattered on blue silk.

He wasn't flying very fast; as he traveled, he spread his divine sense to sense the subtle fluctuations in the surrounding space.

According to the clues given by the Bounty Hall, the spatial turbulence where the Time-Space Stone is located intersects with the real world above this sea area.

However, the point of intersection is mobile, not fixed in one place, and its specific location needs to be determined based on the strength of spatial fluctuations.

Meng Chuan circled over the sea for three days, and finally, at dusk one day, he sensed something unusual.

An extremely subtle distortion appeared in the space ahead.

It's like there's an undercurrent flowing beneath the surface of the water; it may appear calm on the surface, but if you pay close attention, you can detect the presence of that undercurrent.

He flew towards the distorted feeling, and the further he went, the more obvious the spatial fluctuations became.

Finally, after flying more than a thousand miles, a visible crack appeared in the sky ahead.

The crack was about three zhang long and no more than half a chi wide, as if someone had cut a hole in the void with a knife.

The edges of the crack shimmered with a silvery-white light, and streams of spatial turbulence emanated from it, carrying a sense of unsettling disorder.

"This is it."

Meng Chuan stopped in front of the crack and tentatively reached out to touch the silvery-white light.

hum-

A powerful suction force came from the crack, as if an invisible hand had grabbed his wrist and was trying to drag him into the crack.

Meng Chuan did not resist, letting the suction pull him in.

The next moment, the scene before his eyes changed drastically.

He appeared in a gray, hazy space.

There is no sky, no earth, no direction, and no end.

Everywhere there were raging spatial turbulences, like invisible blades, slicing through the void.

Some of the turbulence was even visible to the naked eye—it was a series of silvery-gray air currents that meandered and wandered against the dark background, tearing even the void itself with fine cracks wherever they passed.

Meng Chuan steadied himself, and within his inner world, the power of the Chaos Pearl fragment quietly circulated, forming an invisible barrier around his body.

The spatial turbulence crashed against the barrier, producing a piercing screeching sound, but it couldn't harm him in the slightest.

"It actually works!"

Meng Chuan's eyes lit up!
