Just one kilometer outside the hurricane, everyone set up their tents.
As for who would stand guard, was there anything more suitable for night watch than an Undead System creature?
Jiang Yuan had the Three-Eyed Underworld General stand guard, earning unanimous praise from Mo Fan and the others.
Having a Commander-level creature in the advancement stage on night watch provided an immense sense of security!
They could all sleep soundly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan took advantage of the night to leave the campsite alone and head towards the ancient city ruins.
The ruins were divided into two parts; one part was outside the storm, consisting entirely of broken walls and dilapidated structures, which many people had already visited.
Strictly speaking, the Peru ruins referred to the ruins outside the storm.
Due to the immense energy of the storm, even Super-Order Mages could not easily enter, so the interior remained a pristine, undiscovered land.
The ruins within the eye of the storm were the true ruins.
Additionally, the eye of the storm here was merely one of several passages into the ruins; it was also possible to enter from other locations.
The ruins existed within an independent Space.
In the original timeline, if Mo Fan and his group hadn't been forced by the Peru Nazca Strange Bird, they wouldn't have risked entering the eye of the storm.
With Jiang Yuan leading them now, and not entering the forbidden Nazca area immediately, they naturally weren't targeted by the Nazca Strange Bird.
However, Jiang Yuan still planned to visit Nazca later, as the ancient Incan secret techniques there were very valuable.
Turning his attention back to the lightning storm, Jiang Yuan's figure had already entered the Peru ruins.
According to Peru legends, these ruins were incredibly ancient, so old that only a wasteland remained, with only fragmented texts visible on some stones and pillars.
He conducted a simple search but found nothing of value.
He then faced the lightning storm, briefly appreciating the awe-inspiring storm landscape, and stepped inside.
As he entered the storm's range, his ancient armor robe materialized.
The lightning and wind blades, comparable to high-level magic, failed to stir even a ripple on the armor robe.
Soon, the storm that had hindered countless treasure hunters was easily traversed by Jiang Yuan.
The center of the storm was enveloped by countless golden lightning bolts.
The ruins were within.
"Layer by layer," Jiang Yuan muttered, stepping in again.
Due to his forceful intrusion, the golden lightning erupted with endless Thunder light, unleashing all its Thunder power to obliterate the intruder.
Unfortunately, its power was insufficient to break through the armor robe's defense.
Even if it did break through, Jiang Yuan's physical strength could withstand this level of power, though it would cause considerable pain.
The further he went, the fewer lightning bolts there were.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuan felt as though he had crossed an invisible barrier, and the scenery ahead opened up dramatically.
A vast expanse of green land and a sea of flowers appeared before him; the surrounding lightning seemed to have vanished, with only the hurricane sky hole silently spiraling above.
At the end of the green land and sea of flowers, an ancient city stood.
Finally, he saw it.
Jiang Yuan's eyes shimmered with silver light, and he instantly teleported into this ancient city of ruins.
The ancient city here was completely different from the one outside; it was remarkably well-preserved, without even a single blade of grass or fallen leaf.
It looked as if people still lived there.
Such a miraculous scene was entirely due to the power of Time Eye within the ruins.
Jiang Yuan glanced up and instantly teleported again to the center of the ancient city.
The center of the ancient city was a plaza, where a graceful and charming female statue stood.
Jiang Yuan approached and touched it.
The next moment, the statue crumbled into dust as if turning to sand.
Inside, a crystal cup filled with water materialized before his eyes.
This was the Liquid of Time, which could accelerate the growth of summoned creatures.
This was the first good item within the ruins.
The Liquid of Time had greatly assisted Mo Fan, allowing Xiao Yan Ji to reach her complete form multiple times and resolve many troubles.
However, even without the Liquid of Time now, he wasn't worried.
Xiao Yan Ji and Little Yunmeng got along very well, with Little Yunmeng often sharing the spirit essences and elemental seeds she couldn't possibly consume with Xiao Yan Ji.
As a result, Xiao Yan Ji's growth speed was very fast.
She was now a Commander-level creature in the advancement stage.
Once Mo Fan's Summoning System advanced to the Super-Level, Xiao Yan Ji would immediately advance to the Commander-level!
Jiang Yuan put away the Liquid of Time, then dug three feet deep throughout the city to see if there were any other good things he hadn't discovered.
Not long after, the entire ancient city looked as if it had been bombed by hundreds of thousands of explosives, with ruins everywhere.
"It seems there's only the Liquid of Time," Jiang Yuan murmured.
He looked up again, gazing at the hurricane sky hole above.
Time passed by second by second.
Just as Jiang Yuan thought the Time Eye wouldn't appear, the hurricane sky hole slowly opened a colossal, yellow eye that blotted out the sky.
That giant eye silently met Jiang Yuan's gaze, as if looking at a tiny ant.
Jiang Yuan, beneath his armor robe, felt a pang of trepidation.
The power level of the Time Eye was definitely higher than that of the Ancient King; otherwise, he wouldn't have felt this way!
Above the dome, the giant eye, emanating a mysterious pressure, slowly opened.
In an instant, countless streams of green light poured down like a waterfall, intertwining in mid-air to form an inverted cone-shaped light curtain, completely enveloping the entire dilapidated ancient city.
Within this ethereal green glow, a shocking scene unfolded—the original ruins of broken walls and shattered remnants began to change at a visible speed.
Bricks automatically returned to their places, cracks silently healed, collapsed beams rose from the ground, and obliterated streets reappeared!
This was no simple repair; it was clearly a reversal of time, a regression of years!
Broken tiles reassembled, the mottled city walls shed the vicissitudes of time, and withered vegetation regained vitality.
In Jiang Yuan's gaze, everything before him was like a film played in reverse, frame by frame, re-presenting itself before his eyes!!
The order of time was a type of chaotic order.
Only Chaos Mages with extremely profound cultivation could access the order of time.
But such a large-scale and millennia-long time reversal was something even a Forbidden Curse Chaos Mage could not achieve.
What level of power was the Time Eye, after all?
And what was its origin?
Jiang Yuan was very perplexed; there were still too many secrets in this world, and he understood too little.
Even Mo Fan, who became a God Mage, only had a superficial understanding of the world.
The level of the Time Eye was not something Jiang Yuan could access at his current stage.
Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze, preparing to exit the ruins.
Under such an enormous sky eye, the sense of unease was simply too strong.
However, just as Jiang Yuan was about to use instant teleportation to reach the edge of the barrier, a beam of green light fell from the sky eye, and its powerful force solidified the Space around him.
Although Jiang Yuan felt no threat, only warmth and gentleness, the sudden change compelled him to unleash all his power to resist.
Water System, Undead System, Thunder, Mind, Space, Healing, armor robe, Little Yunmeng fusion—all powers erupted from Jiang Yuan's body!
Finally, the surrounding Space showed a slight fluctuation.
Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed, and using this momentary fluctuation, he once again cast Instant Movement.
But when his figure flickered, he did not appear at the edge of the barrier as desired; instead, he arrived high in the sky, only a few dozen meters away from the sky eye!!!
