Chapter 277: Chapter 278 I Believe in Your Metaphysics

“Last night, I observed the stars,” Li Xinghua said. “The area that reflects down to earth is deep within this valley.”

“Okay, then let’s go take a look,” Zhu Minglang nodded. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

A clean water source alone isn’t enough to save everyone in Pear Blossom Gully.

The Mourning Dragon is currently using the Polluted Night Sacrifice Dragon to contaminate all of Pear Blossom Gully’s water sources, forcing the villagers to leave in search of water.

Once they lose the protection of the village walls and can no longer stand united, the village will soon fall to the Mourning Dragon.

Walking along the desolate valley, Zhu Minglang gradually felt an unusual wind, one that carried a different temperature from the chill of the valley, striking the skin even more keenly!

“Ancient Ruins present a state of spatial disorder, containing some unusual energies that break through prohibitions, creating spatial cracks. These cracks serve as secret passages we can enter, and we should be at that location now,” Li Xinghua explained to Zhu Minglang.

“Is the Ancient Ruins an independent space?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“No, the Ancient Ruins are simply shielded by a forbidding regulation that isolates everything, even stopping the passage of time. Thousands, even tens of thousands of years may pass in the outside world, but within the Ancient Ruins, everything seems to remain as it was at the moment of their creation,” Li Xinghua said.

“So, the world inside the Ancient Ruins could possibly be as it was thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years ago?” Zhu Minglang asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, but the conditions for such areas to form are extremely harsh. They often occur when a huge floating continent collides and merges with an ancient celestial body, with the vast impact causing time itself to lose order,” Li Xinghua continued.

Zhu Minglang was dizzy with confusion.

A continent colliding with a celestial body?

The destructive force from such an event would be enough to wipe out all life!

Zhu Minglang couldn’t really believe that such a terrifying sight could exist. His understanding of the world was limited to the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

Yet, according to Li Xinghua, the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent was definitely not the only continent in this world!

“Because the rules of time are jumbled within the ruins, there are Spiritual Objects that may experience reverse growth over time. For example, the Ice and Snow Lotus that is commonly found in our world, is a Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus in the Ancient Ruins. Some creatures that would need tens of thousands of years of cultivation to become holy could, within the Ancient Ruins, possibly only need a few short years,” Li Xinghua said.

Zhu Minglang was now gradually realizing that time is the most powerful force in the world.

A hundred years makes a demon, a thousand years a devil, ten thousand years a holy being.

Similarly, Spiritual Objects that can enhance one’s Cultivation Base in nature often require the nurturing of time: a hundred-year plant, a thousand-year fruit, a ten thousand-year flower…

But time is often the most difficult to control. Thirty years of arduous practice, a lifetime of seeking the Dao, and yet there are so many cultivators in the world. The truly powerful Spiritual Objects born of nature all require time to ferment.

Holy Spirits are rare.

And so are Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Objects.

The ability of a Dragon Shepherd to accelerate the cultivation speed of their dragon pets in the Spirit Realm is already a rare capability. This has made Dragon Shepherds the most distinguished and honored of all cultivators on this continent.

But the existence of the Ancient Ruins simplifies the pursuit of ten-thousand-year treasures and millennia of cultivation. Every plant and tree there could be a treasure worth an entire city!

Of course, because of these rules, the creatures within the Ancient Ruins are likely to be extremely terrifying beings Ten Thousand Year Holy Spirits and even creatures that have lived for a hundred thousand years!!

Listening to Li Xinghua talk about the “infinite possibilities” within the Ancient Ruins, Zhu Minglang felt a mix of excitement and palpitations. According to his sister-in-law’s words, the probability of encountering a Dragon King inside the Ancient Ruins was quite high. Would he be slapped to death by a Dragon King?

“Cough cough, Minglang, please divine for us before we proceed with our journey,” Zhu Minglang said.

Li Xinghua looked at Zhu Minglang and couldn’t help but smile. She said, “Even you have fears, young master?”

“I don’t mind for myself, but I’m mainly worried about who will take care of you all if something happens to me…” Zhu Minglang replied.

“Since the Mourning Dragon has not been extinct in there, it shows that these Ancient Ruins are not a place of great misfortune,” Li Xinghua answered, choosing to ignore the playful tone in Zhu Minglang’s words.

“You’re a Prophet, how can you rely on logic to deduce? Better do a divination; I believe in your mysticism,” Zhu Minglang insisted.

Li Xinghua had never seen someone so steadfast!

It wasn’t that Li Xinghua was unwilling to prophecy, but previously, while in the village and stargazing at night, she had expended a lot of energy. Moreover, the prohibitive restrictions of time disorder and chaos in the Ancient Ruins interfered with her divination capability, preventing her from reaching her usual level of accuracy.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xinghua took out a small silver coin and gently tossed it into the air, then pressed it against the back of her fair hand.

“What’s this for?” Zhu Minglang asked, puzzled.

“It’s for testing our luck.”

“Isn’t that a bit unprofessional? It feels like those girls who pluck flower petals to divine whether their crush reciprocates their feelings,” Zhu Minglang said with a raised eyebrow.

“Which side do you want?” Li Xinghua asked, her lips pursing slightly in a stubborn manner.

“The side with the flower.”

“Here, the side with the flower,” Li Xinghua slowly moved her pale hand away, revealing the silver coin with the ginkgo flower pattern.

“So you mean to say our journey will be fortunate?” Zhu Minglang said, smiling at the somewhat adorable sister-in-law.

“Mhm, that’s all I can tell for now,” Li Xinghua nodded.

After hearing that, how could Zhu Minglang not go?

It was rare to see Li Xinghua show such interest in something. Probably, these Ancient Ruins were indeed very much in sync with her identity as a Prophet, and she could find the secrets of this world from the remnants thousands or even ten thousand years old.

“How about you throw it one more time?” As they walked, Zhu Minglang suddenly turned his head and asked.

“The second attempt won’t be effective,” Li Xinghua said.

“By the way, does plucking petals to see if someone likes you actually work?” Zhu Minglang teased as they walked along.

“It works,” Li Xinghua replied.

Zhu Minglang immediately adopted a posture of eager attentiveness.

Li Xinghua explained lightly, “If the person you’re interested in truly has affection for you, even the most obtuse person would get their answer from the other’s words and actions. If you’re unsure of their feelings, it means they haven’t taken notice of you. The moment you pick up a petal, filled with doubt and anxiety, the outcome is already negative.”

Zhu Minglang’s mouth fell open, looking at Li Xinghua with some astonishment.

So the Prophet sister-in-law was also a cool-headed master of emotions.
