Half a month passed. After Long Xuan's constant healing, the injuries accumulated in his body had healed.
His body had returned to its peak condition, with surging blood energy, like a celestial furnace, devouring everything.
Long Xuan's skin became more and more crystal clear, like jade and glass. The vigorous blood energy could already overflow from his body, burning like flames.
When he was close to reaching the Blood Refining Realm's full completion, some particles appeared in his body's meridians, and each particle emitted a faint Dao rhythm.
Long Xuan was very surprised by this. His first step had been achieved, and this path meant there was a high probability of success.
After examining his body, Long Xuan planned to examine the supreme inheritance within.
He took out the Mountain Treasure from the bead space. The Mountain Treasure was cube-shaped, and its ivory-like bone material emitted a fluorescent light. It was hard. Long Xuan tried to squeeze it, but the Mountain Treasure's outer shell was undamaged.
He could only give up on the idea, and put it back into the space, waiting until he returned to Stone Village. He scouted the surrounding mountain caves and found that he had entered an unknown place.
Focusing the Runes on his eyes, Long Xuan saw dense Runes flickering and dancing directly in front of him.
The spatial fluctuations here were many times more intense than what he had sensed outside.
Curious, he moved forward, reaching out a hand to feel the surroundings.
"Buzz!"
After walking for a while, a ripple appeared, and an entrance materialized in the previously empty space.
An aura, a mixture of life and the bizarre, emanated from the entrance. From it, Long Xuan sensed a connection to the Ten Evils.
His body's instincts guided him to enter. Adhering to the principle of not letting treasures go, Long Xuan directly stepped into the mysterious space.
Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, Long Xuan passed through the spatial door. The space within was vast and boundless, and surprisingly, it contained both time and space, two of the most powerful Dao principles.
Inside, there was a repulsive aura, along with a thick power of the void, forming a special field. If one's cultivation was insufficient, they would be directly annihilated.
Many plants grew around, some emitting a strange aura that sent shivers down the spine. Some had silver spatial Runes covering their leaves, and slight movements would cause ripples in space.
Long Xuan guessed that this place might be tainted by something ominous, and his expression turned serious.
All along the way, the plains were scattered with pits of various sizes, and the aura emitted by each pit was enough to obliterate many living beings.
The further he walked, the thicker the chaotic mist became, and the ghastly aura intensified.
Passing through the mist revealed a battlefield. Looking around, there were traces of battle: pits of varying sizes, some clawed out, others struck by weapons, all bottomless and impossible to fully survey.
The sky was overcast, filled with smoke and dust, giving off a very unpleasant feeling. The void was filled with a chilling killing intent.
The resulting gales swept across the land, whipping against Long Xuan's body, causing wounds. If other living beings came here, they would likely be attacked and killed instantly.
Long Xuan didn't dare to linger here for too long, and immediately advanced at high speed.
In the process, he saw the remnants of many great battles. Lava flowed from the cracks, and there were also the remains of various creatures, broken bones, and claws everywhere.
All the traces showed how tragic the battle had been.
The battle between the two sides had been so intense that it blotted out the sun and moon, forcibly carving out a huge space here, which was later buried by time.
There was no road ahead. Long Xuan stood in the void, and mist rose in front of him, actually emitting a rich life force.
Ahead, a series of lakes appeared, all formed by splashes of blood. There were lakes with a silver glow, with obvious spatial fluctuations inside, and also black blood, emitting a strange and ominous aura.
His eyes suddenly became sharp, the Otherworld was related to this kind of strange blood, and they almost all used this strange black blood for cultivation.
Thinking about it carefully, this might be what was left behind by the great battle between the strong from the Nine Heavens and the Otherworld.
Looking around, the most central area radiated a potent life force, and a refreshing fragrance drifted outward.
Long Xuan cautiously walked forward and discovered that the entire lake was composed of Life Spring Liquid. A gentle breeze stirred the surface, creating ripples, and a life-filled glow emanated from it.
On a small island in the center of the lake, a faint immortal light shone, and a subtle immortal aura permeated the air.
Long Xuan could immediately confirm that this was the battlefield relic of a battle involving immortal beings.
With a burst of effort, Long Xuan leaped onto the small island in the lake.
A silvery-glowing Gu Clan skeleton was suspended above a stone platform. The skeleton exuded the essence of space and time, and the Runes covering it were dazzling, like countless stars moving in specific patterns.
Long Xuan had already made a guess upon entering. Within the Nine Heavens, only one race possessed the Treasure Techniques of time and space – the Gu Clan, one of the Ten Evils.
Seeing the tragic end of a member of the Ten Evils, Long Xuan felt a pang of sorrow and sighed, "So many heroic souls buried far from home!"
"Haha, I didn't expect to see the descendant of Senior True Dragon before this wisp of remnant consciousness disappears."
A weak voice suddenly rang out. The Gu Clan skeleton on the stone platform emitted a faint glow, and the Runes also revived slightly.
Long Xuan was startled by the sudden sound and blurted out, "Senior, what's your condition?"
The skeleton said indifferently, "I am now just a wisp of consciousness about to dissipate between heaven and earth.
Back then, I was attacked by the descendant of the Red King, a Time Beast. I paid a huge price to kill it, and only a wisp of consciousness remained. I am about to disappear. It is fortunate that you came at this time, so I can leave behind my inheritance."
Hearing about the battle with the Time Beast, Long Xuan also became respectful. A Dao Immortal Time Beast had at least grasped a small part of the essence of time, and ordinary Dao Immortal experts were definitely not a match.
"Youngster, my Treasure Technique, the Ten Evils Treasure Technique—the Gu Clan Treasure Technique, is on this rune bone. Moreover, I coincidentally obtained the original rune bone of the Time Beast back then.
I can use time to view the River of Time, but I can't see your end. Perhaps it will be you who will sweep away the Otherworld in the future."
Two balls of light slowly drifted towards Long Xuan. After the final words were spoken, all the Runes on the skeleton vanished, turning to ash. A gentle breeze swept through, scattering everything into the world.
Watching the elder who had granted him the inheritance disappear, Long Xuan bowed deeply, expressing his respect and gratitude!
Pushing aside his sentimentality, he looked at the battlefield around him, lamenting how few of the Ten Evils remained in the world!
Long Xuan also took the entire lake of Life Spring Liquid. With this, the Willow Deity would become even stronger than he remembered. The Gu Clan elder's wisp of consciousness had managed to endure for so long, likely due to the nourishment of this abundant life energy.
