I Can Travel between Two Worlds
Chapter 502 - 41: Entering the Celestial Ruins
Three days later, Yunzhou.
Cloud Wilds.
This is the largest wilderness in all of Yunzhou, spanning ten thousand miles with scarcely any human presence.
Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian arrived at this wilderness yesterday, waiting for the Celestial Ruins to appear.
"Junior Sister Jiang, are you sure the Celestial Ruins will open here?"
Lin Chen asked curiously.
"Don’t worry, it will definitely open here... the timing to enter the Celestial Ruins is crucial."
"As long as we can enter the Celestial Ruins a step earlier, we can gain an advantageous position and obtain information and resources sooner..."
Jiang Liqian spoke with certainty.
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, over the years he had also gathered some information about the Celestial Ruins in Yunzhou.
The exact location where the Celestial Ruins would open was uncertain, only known after they actually opened.
For Jiang Liqian to know in advance, she must have her own channels.
Entering among the first batch and understanding the situation in the Celestial Ruins ahead of time naturally offered a competitive edge.
According to Lin Chen’s knowledge.
The time and space within the Celestial Ruins are not the same as the real world.
It would be a past era, possessing things that don’t exist in the real world.
Moreover, it is a chaotic time-space where various powers of law linger.
Therefore, many cultivators go into the Celestial Ruins to comprehend the laws and compete for various treasures.
A very crucial point is that the flow of time in the Celestial Ruins is completely different from reality.
In some areas, ten years pass by in the Celestial Ruins while only one year has gone by in reality.
In other areas, a year in the Celestial Ruins equates to ten years in the real world...
This special situation makes the information within the Celestial Ruins exceptionally valuable.
Also, a more critical point is that.
There are natives within the Celestial Ruins.
Or rather, these so-called natives are people who genuinely existed in past eras.
For the current cultivators, these are ancient cultivators living in a bygone age.
Thus, various cultivation techniques and secret techniques of ancient cultivators are maximally preserved in the Celestial Ruins.
The entire Celestial Ruins is like a gigantic treasury.
How large is the Celestial Ruins?
Lin Chen had asked about this.
Jiang Liqian’s answer was, as large as the real world, as large as the Celestial Ruins...
...
Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian waited quietly under a giant tree.
The two of them restrained their breaths to avoid any unforeseen incidents.
Suddenly, several auras appeared about three hundred meters northwest of them.
Lin Chen opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Liqian.
Jiang Liqian’s expression seemed a bit grim, but she said:
"The location where the Celestial Ruins appear is uncertain, but there are always special means to foresee it."
"Like myself... but evidently, I’m not the only one who can know the location."
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, understanding this answer.
The Celestial Ruins have existed for countless years, not opening for the first time.
Since that’s the case, surely many have obtained information about them.
The value of this information is extremely high, those who know it must have significant status.
In other words, the people three hundred meters away are competitors in this Celestial Ruins endeavor.
Lin Chen looked afar towards that direction, retracting even his divine sense.
Against opponents of this caliber, even divine sense can be perceived by them.
"At least a cultivator in the Returning Void stage..."
Lin Chen murmured in his heart.
At this moment, Jiang Liqian reminded:
"Senior Brother, once we enter the Celestial Ruins, remember to stick by me..."
"The outermost layer of the Celestial Ruins is a massive spacetime turbulence, with countless high-speed moving fragments. Each fragment may represent a past era!"
"Moreover, not every era is safe..."
"Entering certain special Celestial Ruins might mean never returning again."
"Throughout history, many cultivators have been lost in the Celestial Ruins... even some Mahayana Ancestors have examples of being lost within."
After a pause, Jiang Liqian continued:
"The Celestial Ruins is not singular, a passage may contain many Celestial Ruins."
"Only the Celestial Ruins where predecessors have entered and returned alive are absolutely safe."
"This time, the Celestial Ruins we’re going to belongs to Jiang Country Celestial Ruins from thirteen thousand years ago."
"Jiang Country Celestial Ruins, with a time flow ratio of thirty-nine to one. We can stay there for up to thirty-nine years, or risk being forever lost within..."
"And also..."
Jiang Liqian shared the information about the Celestial Ruins again, while Lin Chen solemnly noted it all.
He knew the peril of the Celestial Ruins but also understood the benefits it could bring.
This Celestial Ruins trip is a definite great opportunity.
It might even be the biggest opportunity Lin Chen has encountered in all his cultivation journey.
The Jiang Country Celestial Ruins is the most popular among many.
Because in that era, Jiang Country was the master of the Spirit Realm, the greatest force in the cultivation realm.
At the same time, it possessed unimaginable resources.
With Jiang Liqian around, acquiring these resources would be much less challenging.
Not to mention, the thirty-nine times flow rate difference between inside and outside the Celestial Ruins.
Which could grant Lin Chen thirty-nine extra years of cultivation time.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen had another question in mind.
"In the Celestial Ruins, is it possible to return to Blue Star? How many times can one actually return?"
Lin Chen contemplated this, wanting to attempt it.
...
Not long after waiting.
Until a mirage-like shadow appeared in the sky, a silver enormous object resembling a black hole with massive gravitational force suddenly emerged in the sky.
At the same time, numerous silver star-like fragments appeared around the silver black hole.
