Chapter 13 I Can Only Watch

Xu Jingming's many clones scattered, acting on their own, exploring the palace complex.

Xu Jingming walked along the corridors, observing the architectural style, searching for any place where opportunities might be hidden. When he caught sight of a courtyard wall in the distance, Xu Jingming was slightly stunned, and immediately flashed to a spot near the wall.

This courtyard wall was a small part of the endless walls of the entire palace complex. The wall was covered with dense characters.

"This…" Xu Jingming looked at these characters, "Could these characters be a special kind of writing? Is this a written article?"

Having studied a large number of characters for so long, although Xu Jingming hadn't completely mastered them, he had some understanding of each one.

When a large number of characters formed an article in front of him, Xu Jingming only felt, "Even if I don't understand it, just looking at this article seems to give me a glimpse into some kind of fundamental power of endless time and space?"

The article was drilling into Xu Jingming's mind. Looking at it, Xu Jingming vaguely saw countless layers of overlapping time and space, and saw a hand reaching out, covering one of the time and spaces, and casually moving it, causing the entire time and space to change accordingly.

"This is what it means to control time and space," Xu Jingming murmured, that hand influencing and changing one time and space after another, Xu Jingming's eyes gradually turning red.

"I can't look, I can't look anymore."

Xu Jingming turned around, not daring to look at the article on the courtyard wall again.

"This article contains some kind of time-space knowledge, more terrifying than any third-realm inheritance I've ever seen." Xu Jingming no longer watched, and his mind gradually calmed down, "The process of watching it affects the mind, even to the point of madness."

…

"There's a small Primal Star in this garden." Another of Xu Jingming's clones came to a large garden in the palace complex. The scenery in the garden was beautiful, and in one part of it, a small Primal Star was suspended.

This small Primal Star seemed to be embedded in this space-time, part of the entire palace complex.

"This small Primal Star…" Just watching it, Xu Jingming had many insights in his heart. He had studied the Primal Star lineage in the Origin Life stage, but later, after being high-dimensionally polluted by the Void Abyss Master's image, he completely entered the Heart Realm lineage.

Now, watching this small Primal Star, some of Xu Jingming's past insights in the Primal Star field naturally integrated and constantly broke through.

"Chi chi chi~~~"

During Xu Jingming's breakthrough, a blazing white flame began to rise from his body.

Xu Jingming only felt that his mind was becoming more and more fiery, as if he was about to be assimilated by the 'Primal Star.'

"I can't look."

Xu Jingming also turned around, no longer watching the small Primal Star. With his mind, he was still able to resist these temptations.

"What's going on? Once I watch the opportunities in this palace complex for a long time, will my mind lose control?" Xu Jingming was a little puzzled. He had gradually lost control when watching the article on the courtyard wall, and he was also beginning to lose control watching this small Primal Star.

…

"Hua hua hua~~~" Deep underground in the palace complex, there was a black river, attracting all kinds of chaotic, evil, and sinful auras. It flowed all the time under the palace complex.

Its existence also made the surface of the palace complex peaceful and serene.

"This black river?" Xu Jingming had a clone here, watching the underground river of the palace complex. He instinctively thought of the abyss. He had also obtained the treasure 'Miniature Abyss.' This black river was like those wriggling abyss branches.

"Is this black river another branch of the abyss?" This time, Xu Jingming was able to remain calm, no longer losing control, "I have accumulated a deep understanding of the Void Abyss lineage, so I can understand a lot about this black river, and I can stay awake?"

…

The article on the courtyard wall, the small Primal Star creation, the underground river, the paintings on the walls of the main hall, the flames constantly burning in the alchemy furnace hall, the 300 swords collected in a large hall…

"I can watch from a distance, but I can't touch them." Xu Jingming discovered this common point. Even the paintings on the walls could not be approached beyond a certain distance.

Even a painting possessed terrifying power. At least, they, the half-step third realms, could not touch it.

"So many spears."

In a weapon hall, Xu Jingming looked at the 129 spears displayed. These spears had different auras, far more terrifying than ordinary third-realm spears. Xu Jingming was suppressed by an invisible aura and could not get closer than ten feet. Some wounds were forced open on his body. If he tried to get closer, his body would probably be shattered by the energy.

"I initially explored the entire palace complex and discovered a total of one hundred and thirty-three opportunities. I can only observe two places for a long time. If I watch the other places carefully, I will gradually lose control." Xu Jingming also confirmed this point.

"The underground river of the palace complex and these spears are the only places I can watch for a long time and still remain awake."

"But I obtained the treasure 'Miniature Abyss,' so the value of this underground river to me has greatly decreased." Xu Jingming still liked the treasure 'Miniature Abyss' very much, because it was the true appearance of the abyss.

Xu Jingming looked at the spears, "The most valuable thing in the entire palace complex to me should be these spears."

"I can feel that the aura of these spears is the same type as the spear technique on the silver paper." Just by watching 129 different types of spears, Xu Jingming's understanding of the spear technique on the silver paper deepened.

Soon, Xu Jingming withdrew his other clones and focused on watching the spears.

For each spear, Xu Jingming peered into its movement trajectory on the timeline, feeling the terrifying aura left by the spear. Xu Jingming also vaguely understood the usage of different spears.

He was immersed in it.

"Hmm?" Other half-step third realms also came to this hall and saw Xu Jingming.

"This Wu Ming is watching these spears?" City Lord Fei Ke also tried to watch the spears, vaguely glimpsing a hand holding these spears. The terrifying spear technique aura kept drilling into his mind, and City Lord Fei Ke's mind shook.

"These spears are not suitable for me." City Lord Fei Ke glanced at Xu Jingming and turned to leave.

There were many opportunities in the palace complex, but not everyone could watch them for a long time.

******

Time passed day by day, and many half-step third realm powerhouses tried to enter, but the 'character labyrinth' at the main entrance of the palace was still quite difficult, blocking most powerhouses.

In more than three months, only a hundred or so powerhouses entered the palace complex.

The hundred or so powerhouses in the palace complex quickly chose their own opportunities and seized the time to carefully comprehend them.

The powerhouses outside the palace complex failed again and again, and many despaired.

"To enter this palace complex, you need to understand the mysterious characters. We are obviously far from that." A half-step third realm said.

"Let's go, let's find a way to leave the Ultimate Land."

"If we drag it on, maybe we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"

Some half-step third realms began to travel together, three or five at least, and a dozen or twenty at most. They began to gradually leave. There were also many half-step third realms who still remained outside the palace complex, continuing to try again and again. They were obviously unwilling to give up.

"This time, I gained two treasures and more than ten thousand mysterious characters, which is much better than all the treasures I accumulated in my previous life." Most of the half-step third realms who left were also very satisfied.

Any treasure in the mountains was a treasure that had never been seen in this space-time in the past, and its value was extremely high. Being able to bring one or two treasures out alive was already considered a great success.

When exploring dangerous places, you can't be greedy!

…

As time passed, the palace complex could not be entered, the treasures in the mountains had been looted, and the native creatures no longer appeared. More and more half-step third realms wanted to leave.

On one of the borders of the vast land of the Ultimate Land, a large group of half-step third realms gathered here, and Xu Jingming was among them.

He had initially divided his forces into two groups, one to enter the mountains, and the other to stay on the periphery with Boat Lord Beihe. At this moment, Xu Jingming in the periphery area… was also planning to try to leave the Ultimate Land. Anyway, he had more than five hundred clones in the palace complex, which was enough.

"What's going on? No matter how you fly in the space-time turbulence on the periphery of the Ultimate Land, you will eventually return to the land of the Ultimate Land."

"I'm back in the Ultimate Land again?"

One by one, the half-step third realms used their own methods to enter the space-time turbulence outside the land. After entering, they would be lost in the space-time turbulence, unable to distinguish directions, and be swept away in a daze, eventually being swept back to the land of the Ultimate Land.

"I have also tried dozens of times, and each time I was lost in space-time and eventually swept to this land." Xu Jingming stood in one place, frowning and thinking.

"Beihe," Xu Jingming contacted Boat Lord Beihe, who was in the portable miniature universe, "I have tried many times, and many invincible half-step third realms have also tried, and everyone has failed! No one can leave the Ultimate Land."

"Can't leave?" Boat Lord Beihe was stunned, "Then the treasures we collected can't be taken out?"

"Yes."

Xu Jingming was also very serious, "Yes, although these treasures are very precious, we can't take them out now. Even our own third-realm weapons may be damaged here."

"Hahaha… What a joke, what a joke." Laughter came from afar, and an invincible half-step third realm laughed, "For so long, not a single half-step third realm has been able to get out. Hahaha, we risked our lives for these treasures before, and we were excited and crazy about them, but the final result… is that we may all have to die here, and these treasures will eventually have to be returned to this Ultimate Land."

"It's indeed a joke, a disappointment." Other powerhouses also shook their heads.

"If we can't get out, then let's find a way to survive in the Ultimate Land, live longer, comprehend the mysterious characters, and comprehend the treasures, and we can gain more." Some powerhouses also said, "The treasures can't be taken away, but the knowledge we learn can be taken away."

"If we can't get out from here, maybe there are other places in this Ultimate Land where we can get out!" Some half-step third realms left.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

The half-step third realms had their own choices and went to various places, looking for ways to leave the Ultimate Land.
