A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

The river of time flows on, its waves surging.

No one can cross it.

Cao Wang went against the current.

The distance that has been sought for two thousand years.

I returned to that void once more.

"Why are you only arriving now? Why weren't you here yesterday?"

Upon meeting, Shen Jingqiu began to complain.

She even had the petulance of a young wife.

"Something came up yesterday and I was delayed."

The situation is somewhat urgent.

"But thanks to the Thunderclap Talisman you gave me, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing me now."

Cao Wang said this on purpose.

The purpose was to tell Shen Jingqiu how precious what he gave him was to him.

His own life was now tied to hers.

Therefore, if she wanted to obtain more information, her first priority was to ensure her own safety.

as predicted.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingqiu quickly took out several talismans from his pocket.

"You absolutely cannot get hurt. These talismans are the result of a lot of effort and spiritual energy I put into drawing them over the past two days."

Although it is still a first-grade talisman, its power is comparable to that of a second-grade talisman, and its power is immense.

Based on what you told me about the concentration of spiritual energy in your era, this talisman would be enough to instantly kill a Foundation Establishment stage expert from your region.

Upon hearing this, Cao Wang's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the talismans to examine them.

Shen Jingqiu explained, "There are still three Thunderclap Talismans here, just like the ones I gave you, but their power has been increased."

Secondly, there are three Vajra Talismans, which can withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment stage expert in your area.

There are also three Swiftness Scrolls, which can temporarily increase your speed.

There are also three concealment talismans.

The more Cao Wang listened, the faster his heart beat.

These things are simply lifesavers.

"These are what I brought you, but what did you bring me?"

Shen Jingqiu said with a face full of anticipation.

Cao Wang countered, "Did you go to the back mountain to search?"

Shen Jingqiu nodded: "We've gone to look for them, but we haven't found any clues."

Moreover, the area behind the mountain is too large; without knowing its exact location, it's virtually impossible to find.

This was something Cao Wang had anticipated.

Cao Wang immediately produced the compiled clues.

Most of these clues came from the notebook that Hua An gave him.

After extensive research over the past two days, he finally found some clues about Shen Jingqiu's discovery of an opportunity in the back mountain.

"Looking out at the cliff."

Cao Wang pointed to the three characters above.

"The opportunity you encountered later happened here. I wonder if there's such a place in the mountains behind your village?"

Shen Jingqiu's expression immediately changed: "They're actually looking at the precipice."

Seeing Shen Jingqiu's reaction, Cao Wang was immediately delighted.

Reliable!

In other words, all the clues recorded in that notebook are true.

But the next moment, Shen Jingqiu's words made Cao Wang's expression change.

"Wangduan Cliff is a forbidden area in the back mountain. Ordinary disciples cannot enter it at all. Moreover, there are many powerful demonic beasts there. With my current strength, I'm afraid I will have difficulty setting foot there."

Cao Wang immediately showed disappointment: "Isn't there any other way? Without improving your strength, we can't move forward with this matter."

"No matter what, we have to give it a try."

Shen Jingqiu's gaze hardened, and he took a deep breath.

Cao Wang was also helpless: "This is all I can do to help you. As for whether you can get this opportunity, it depends on your fate."

However, I would also like to advise you that you should never take risks unless you are absolutely certain of success.

If something happens to you, then I'll have no hope left.

We're in the same boat now; whatever happens to either of us will be the other's biggest loss.

"I know, you don't need to worry about that."

Shen Jingqiu said calmly.

"By the way, I've discovered that this jade pendant still holds many secrets."

Shen Jingqiu turned his head and asked suspiciously, "What secret?"

Cao Wang took out his jade pendant, and Shen Jingqiu followed suit.

The two jade pendants are identical when placed side by side; even the patterns on them are exactly the same.

This made Cao Wang suspect that the two jade pendants were originally one piece, only separated by the passage of time.

Perhaps what Cao Wang is holding is what Shen Jingqiu left behind after his death.

However, the specific reason remains unclear.

"After I left here last time, the first thing I did was check the talisman you gave me."

I was really startled to find that the talisman was gone.

Unexpectedly, the talisman appeared inside the jade pendant.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the jade pendant contained a hidden compartment, much like a magic bag, capable of storing items.

"Oh, really?"

Shen Jingqiu also became curious and looked him up and down, but found nothing.

Cao Wang interrupted him, saying, "Stop looking. The jade pendant seems to have lost all its functions here. I tried to sense its internal space, but I couldn't feel anything."

Perhaps we will only be able to rediscover its secrets after we leave this place.

So let's summarize: this jade pendant currently has two functions.

The first is transcending time and space.

The second is storing items.

As for what other functions it has, we'll have to discover that together.

The empty space fell into a brief silence.

The two seemed to have run out of things to talk about.

"By the way, could you tell me what your world is like?"

Shen Jingqiu asked curiously.

Cao Wang shook his head and said, "Actually, I know nothing about our world now either."

My current knowledge is limited to the Bliss Sect where I currently reside.

All I know is that it is located within the territory of the Zhao Kingdom in the Eastern Region, and that the outside world is currently in great chaos.

Although the Blissful Sect is gloomy, it is still a safe haven.

It is said that the outside world has become a cannibalistic world, and cultivators are all in danger, daring not to reveal their identities.

Independent cultivators often gang up on each other, and even ordinary people might attack you in droves if they discover you are a cultivator.

Shen Jingqiu was secretly astonished. He lived in the Great Primordial Era and had never heard of such a thing. The biggest crisis they faced was nothing more than the invasion of those demonic beasts.

"Oh, right."

Cao Wang suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"The Primordial Dao Court you belong to is one of the four great immortal sects, and you are the personal disciple of the current Dao Lord."

The cultivation method he practiced was the legendary "Primordial Realm Canon".

I wonder if you could teach me a thing or two?

If I could receive even a pointer or two, I should be able to roam freely below the Foundation Establishment stage.

But he didn't know if Shen Jingqiu would agree.

The next second, Shen Jingqiu nodded without hesitation, then patted his butt and stood up.

"Our Primordial Dao Court mainly cultivates the Primordial Sword Manual, which is the core technique."

However, it's too profound. Let me try it out once, and you can see if you can grasp even a fraction of it."
