Chapter 145

Jiang Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Men Xiansheng again: "Ancestor, I already have the strength to resist a Cleric! If I have an external spatial coordinate, I will definitely be able to get out and help you."

Men Xiansheng looked at him deeply, his blue pupils eerily swirling with halos of light; a small humanoid seed condensed beside Jiang Xuan, and a bizarre smile still hung on his face: "Swallow him, and you will find the Old Ones' Box!"

Jiang Xuan did not hesitate at all; he swallowed the humanoid seed and declared solemnly in a loud voice: "Rest assured, Ancestor! I will definitely go out and save you!"

Men Xiansheng did not answer, merely watching Jiang Xuan with such indifference, his eyes revealing a longing crimson, as if expecting something.

Jiang Xuan looked at the other party with a smile; the Eight Trigrams Furnace in his dantian ignited blazing flames, completely wrapping and drowning the humanoid seed.

The seed actually emitted a captivating scream in the flames; wisps of pink aura were scorched out, and a slender rule manifested within.

This is the Yin power mastered by the Primordial Moon, the Yin rule condensed from it, currently pointing downward to guide the defense line.

As the seed burned away completely, the pink aura was expelled from the body; this was the Primordial Moon's method of mobilizing Desire to try to seize control of Jiang Xuan, completely eliminated by him.

"Thank you for your help, Fallen Mother Goddess!"

Taking a step forward, Jiang Xuan returned to Backlund, leaving only Men Xiansheng remaining in the eternal Void, his gaze penetrating space and nothingness to land on Jiang Xuan, as if waiting for something.

Guided by that single rule, Jiang Xuan strode into a room full of childish charm, inside which were placed many dolls, only the dolls' expressions were mostly terrified.

The Pen of Asule emerged in his hand: "The contaminated portion inside the Old Ones' Box has been affected by the Primordial Moon's rule and temporarily lost its function!"

Accompanied by his spirituality being drawn away like spring water, the surrounding environment instantly turned into a filthy, messy room full of mottled bloodstains; the Aurora Society's Secret Saint Butis hid himself behind a cloak, his gray-brown eyes warily watching this young man who had suddenly broken in.

"Who are you!"

Jiang Xuan's divine sense fiercely collided with the other party's subconscious island, directly invading the other's consciousness; he quietly stood up and stood motionless in place.

A red light suddenly flashed; Butis's body ignited in blazing flames, yet his face bore a smile, as if enjoying the sensation of being scorched by high temperature.

He casually scooped up the "Old Ones' Box" from the side.

The "Old Ones' Box" originated from an Angel of the Abraham Family in the Fourth Era; eroded by the Primordial Moon, he died, and the remaining Beyonder Characteristic combined with his corpse to form an exquisite "Jewelry Box".

After Men Xiansheng obtained this Sealed Artifact, he named it the Old Ones' Box.

The Old Ones' Box has three layers in total; the first layer can swap the internal space with a target region, turning the target region into a toy and shrinking it into a corresponding scene.

The second layer records different locations — there are the Star Sky, the Abyss, and some coordinates of the Main World — allowing the holder of the Old Ones' Box and living beings within a certain range to transfer to the target region.

The third layer region has never been used or opened; even Butis dared not even think about it.

Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged, hands cupped before his chest; the small Eight Trigrams Furnace burned blazingly between his hands; the wooden material on the Old Ones' Box turned into wisps of red blood mist under the scorching of the red-gold flames, and while resisting the red-gold flames' burning, it branched out vast knowledge of space rules.

After the previous spirituality overexertion, Jiang Xuan's ability to accept rule knowledge had strengthened considerably; he persisted for ten seconds before actively cutting off contact with the Old Ones' Box.

Space rules are even more obscure and difficult to understand compared to "Writer" rules, hard to absorb.

Jiang Xuan thus calmed his mind and absorbed steadily; as time passed, Jiang Xuan's understanding of space grew deeper and deeper, each breath driving space to emit a fluctuation.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The Tarot Club holds a meeting every week; because of the Spiritual Cultivation Law Jiang Xuan gave, whether it is Klein or Audrey and the others, they no longer need to digest Potions through the Acting Law, but instead directly obtain a bit of knowledge analyzed from the Potion through divine sense,

The Potion's main function is to neutralize and limit, letting the acquired rule knowledge enter people's subconscious at a slower speed, absorbing the knowledge within imperceptibly. Jiang Xuan does not use Potions, directly burning high-Sequence materials to absorb, like a river under a waterfall; if he doesn't climb out in time, he will be drowned by the waterfall.

And they actively understand and absorb, which will greatly accelerate the complete digestion of the Potion; plus new members provided quite a lot of materials, everyone's advancement speed is very fast.

The Tarot Club recently recruited three more members: Fors introduced by Audrey and her best friend the Executor Xiu, and the "Sun" in the God-Abandoned Land.

With the Fool's agreement, the enthusiastic Audrey wrote down the Refining Spirit knowledge in her mind and gave it to the three, counting as a joining benefit for the Tarot Club.

The three who obtained such a divine method were instantly awestruck, and even more in awe of this "Fool" seated at the head.

After Audrey "unintentionally" revealed she had seen the Fool's dependent was a Sequence 1 Angel, even the Hanged Man Alger became more amiable, no longer putting on an attitude of being ready to flee at any moment, although he couldn't escape anyway.

Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes; the red-gold flames still burned blazingly; the Old Ones' Box's first layer had been completely refined and fused with his body.

Blood-red mist seemed to possess life as it condensed together, forming a humanoid shape, quietly enduring the scorching in the furnace cauldron.

As the first layer completely disappeared, the second layer finally began to be slowly refined; this time the color that appeared was a mixture between red and pink, yet the two deliberately kept their distance, as if two incompatible substances were forcibly blending and separating.

As this blood qi injected into the originally calm blood mist body, the blood mist seemed like ignited explosives, beginning to violently oscillate; the blood mist rolled in fusion, terrified screams, women's soft moans, beasts' anger and other sounds alternated, countless sounds overlapping together.

Jiang Xuan remained unmoved, immersed in absorbing space rules.

"In ancient times, Paoxi Shi ruled Tianxia; looking up, he observed images in Heaven; looking down, he observed laws on Ground; he observed the patterns of birds and beasts, and the suitability of the earth; near, he took from the body; far, he took from things; thus he began to create the Eight Trigrams, to communicate the virtue of gods, to categorize the feelings of all things."

Space is not as abstract as time; it can be enumerated and described, can be defined in size.

Cosmic space is called Heaven by people; secular space is called Ground; both are contained by Great Space, yet in their various aspects they are completely different, and the rules within them are also far apart.

Unknown how much more time passed; the Old Ones' Box's second layer was also completely refined; Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, space in his eyes perishing and regenerating; he only needed to wave his hand lightly to enter space roaming, freely controlling the shuttling direction.

Watching the second layer slowly fuse into his body, the Old Ones' Box's third layer actually opened on its own; inside there was actually only a name and a coordinate.

"Polluted Mother Nest"

That name imprinted in the Void itself possessed pollution; a bizarre power emerged around, giving Jiang Xuan a familiar feeling.

As this power gathered more and more, Jiang Xuan finally recognized it — isn't this a small portion of the energy the Primordial Moon invaded reality through Men Xiansheng? So because Jiang Xuan knew the Mother Nest's location, they all ran here!

After memorizing the location, Jiang Xuan directly erased the information within; his current strength, although already matching the True Gods here, is still somewhat lacking to deal with Old Ones-level beings.

He doesn't want to steal Source Castle; the only chance to obtain Source Quality is the Chaos Sea; the other Source Qualities have all been sealed by the Heavenly Venerate; even Ye Ming can't find where they are.

The third layer Old Ones' Box had no other space rule information; unable to withstand the red-gold flames' burning, it was refined in an instant.

Li Fire climbed along both arms over his body, like a Flame Holy Garment making Ten Thousand Laws Unassailable, burning away those bizarre powers.

Those bizarre powers, seeing they could not invade Jiang Xuan, turned and surged into the blood qi humanoid above the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

The blood qi actually gradually condensed and took shape; soon the entire body structure was complete, only the face kept changing — sometimes a face somewhat resembling Men Xiansheng, sometimes turning into a ferocious female visage, roaring toward the Ground, eyes full of greed.

Most of this blood qi is the blood of that dead Angel, but because it was already polluted, there is no necessity for Jiang Xuan to absorb it.

Casually finding an Outer Regions coordinate, Jiang Xuan lightly swiped his finger, sending the blood qi humanoid into the Void.

Having resolved the Old Ones' Box's hidden danger, Jiang Xuan condensed a Great Displacement Talisman in his hand; he prepared to fuse the Old Ones' Box and the Great Displacement Talisman together; the two's abilities are connected, only one uses brute force to tear open space, the other uses space rules to construct a passage.

Because Jiang Xuan had already completely refined both items, the fusion had no great difficulty.

As the Old Ones' Box gradually fused into the Great Displacement Talisman, Jiang Xuan felt his body become even closer to space, not inferior even to cultivating the Great Void Technique; now in the space aspect, even the Ji Family people are left far behind.

The current Great Displacement Talisman has three functions in total: one is sensitivity to space rules letting him ignore any Spatial Blockade, entering any position he wants to enter and previously reached positions.

The second ability is to shrink a region and people, making them an independent space block for containment, able to transfer the people and objects within at any time.

If this were placed in a cultivation world, it would absolutely be a good ability for constructing Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

The third is the ability to phase Jiang Xuan's body into the Spirit World, traversing worlds through the Spirit World — two different planets would only be a few minutes' journey apart.

This harvest was finally fully digested; Jiang Xuan stood up, moved his stiff body, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Consciousness immersed above the Grey Mist, Jiang Xuan found the star symbolizing the "Sun" among several bright stars.

When he appeared again, Ye Ming was already standing on the God-Abandoned Land.

The God-Abandoned Land, where the Source Quality Chaos Sea of God fell — because it grasps numerous bizarre Rules, it changed the environment of the entire Continent, making it almost impossible for people to live normally, and causing the people living here to completely lose contact with the North and South Continents.

Everywhere the eye reaches are bizarre plants and rotten land; there is no sun in the sky, no stars, only that eternally unchanging darkness enveloping everything — even a shred of light is precious here.

Derrick, who was following the Great Elder into battle, was the first to perceive it; he raised the Wide Axe in his hand, and with the other hand took out an Emblem emitting warmth.

"I am Mr. Fool's dependent!" Jiang Xuan explained with practiced ease.

Silver City's Chief, Colin, finally discovered Jiang Xuan; the surrounding crowd encircled Jiang Xuan and the two — Derrick.

In the God-Abandoned Land, any anomaly must be met with one hundred and twenty percent vigilance.

"Hello! Chief Colin, I am Mr. Fool's dependent." Jiang Xuan held a certain respect for this Silver City Chief who had thought for Silver City all his life.

"The Fool!" Colin murmured softly; although he knew Derrick's blind faith in an unknown deity would surely bring trouble, he hadn't expected a dependent to stand openly before him this quickly.

This forced him to be vigilant!

Derrick suddenly recalled Miss Audrey boasting about the dependent's strength, and hurriedly moved to Colin's side, whispering: "Chief, this dependent is a Sequence 1 Angel!"

Unfortunately, because Derrick was anxious, his voice wasn't very low; the other squad members, including Jiang Xuan, all heard it.

The hands of the squad members holding weapons all trembled slightly.

Their strongest Chief Colin was merely a Sequence 3 Saint; against a Sequence 1 who could appear alone before everyone, no matter how you looked at it there was no chance of victory.

The corner of Jiang Xuan's mouth twitched slightly; is this Derrick perhaps a bit too upright, upright to the point of being bluntly honest!

"I bear no ill will toward Silver City; even if things go smoothly, I will solve this God-Abandoned Land's curse, and furthermore lead you out of this land, back to normal life!" Jiang Xuan said with a determined tone.

As the Giant King Court that separates the God-Abandoned Land from the North and South Continents, it holds little temptation for him now; the hidden secrets lurking within he already knew long ago — if he can collect the Source Quality Chaos Sea, this land only needs purification to slowly return to normal.

Colin didn't quite believe an Angel could solve this land's curse; even the Harvest Goddess they worship and King Olmiel the Giant King — they are True Gods yet perished here, let alone a mere Angel.

But Colin did not refute; instead he nodded solemnly, looking as if he truly believed Jiang Xuan.

Escorting the crowd back to Silver City, Jiang Xuan alone once again walked into the darkness.

Derrick watched that dark figure recede into the distance; unbeknownst to him, Chief Colin was already standing at his side.

"Chief, do you believe this dependent's words?"

Colin's gaze seemed to pierce through the darkness, fixed upon a towering, ruined King Court above; his voice was deep: "I hope to be able to believe him!"

"Right, Chief, I've already prepared the Sequence Five materials!" Derrick took out several portions of materials from his hand, his eyes full of expectation.

Colin looked at him deeply; recently Derrick's advancement speed was so fast it made him feel terrified, but for the hopeless Silver City this might also be a good thing.

"Prepare to advance!"
