Time and space travel!
Yu Yuan was well-acquainted with this sensation, clearly feeling the chaotic divine light of all colors wrapping around him and the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, as if they were surfing within the long river of time.
The scenery of that time river remained unaltered, each droplet of water a stretch of vast time, each wave a period of colorful years.
Yu Yuan felt a sense of alarm in his heart and quickly prompted the Chaos Bell, attempting to use the power of this innate treasure to leave a mark as an anchor in time.
But to his surprise, the power of the time river was even more turbulent and forceful than ever before, easily shattering the mark he had left.
This also meant that he could no longer return to his original time and space through the Chaos Bell!
Yet, that was not even the worst of it.
A suffocating presence abruptly appeared ahead.
Yu Yuan looked up and saw a massive shadow breaking through the waves of the time river. He could vaguely make out a pair of blood-red eyes within the shadow, burning with menacing flames, exuding endless cruelty and bloodlust.
"Time Erosion Demon!"
The Golden Spirit Saint Mother couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
A thought flickered in Yu Yuan's mind, as he recalled records he had seen in the Biyou Palace.
The Time Erosion Demon was a fierce beast capable of navigating the time river. Its body was fused with the power of time, constantly emitting twisted and chaotic energy fluctuations, allowing it to walk among different dimensions of time.
It lacked a fixed form, sometimes appearing as a whirling vortex like a storm, at other times transforming into a meteor blazing with light, accompanied by deafening roars.
According to the records, where the Time Erosion Demon passed, time would be twisted and muddled.
The past, present, and future would intertwine, creating a jumbled tapestry.
It could also manipulate the flow of time, distorting and inverting the order of past, present, and future. Encountering those traveling through time in the time river, it would appear beside them, trapping them in twisted space-time, subjecting them to eternal agony and torment.
In his past experiences with time and space travel, Yu Yuan had never encountered such a creature. It was unexpected that he would meet one this time.
This made him wonder if he had been doing too many good deeds recently, causing his luck to turn sour?
Yet with the protection of the Chaos Bell, Yu Yuan was not afraid of the Time Erosion Demon.
In fact, he somewhat wanted to capture it, as doing so might allow it to carry him back.
Just as he was preparing to try, he saw a giant wave suddenly arise in the time river, slapping down without warning.
In the next moment, Yu Yuan was directly flung out of the temporal setting, his vision abruptly clearing up.
He found himself in a dense mountain forest.
Before his eyes:
Thousand peaks soared majestically, standing tall and reaching into the clouds, like giant pillars rooted between heaven and earth; myriad cliffs unfurled, as if the earth opened its bosom to embrace the boundless sky.
Sunlight cast a gentle lock of emerald in the mist, rain gathered the cold hue of condensed cyan.
Vines twined around old trees, an ancient ferry marked a secluded journey.
Strange flowers and rare herbs, blooming through all seasons, rivaling Peng Cheng; tall bamboo and lofty pine, eternally verdant, outshining the land of fortune.
Bantering birdsong echoed nearby, while the sound of crystal-clear springs was delightful, like the music of the heavens lingering in the valley.
Distant peaks rolled and the twisting mountain range outlined the momentum of spirit veins. At a glance, it was evident that this mountain was a convergence of spiritual energy, with the aura from countless miles around gathering here, nurturing an extraordinary scene of an immortal realm.
However, Yu Yuan could not afford to appreciate the scenery. After ensuring there were no dangers, he quickly turned his head to look for the Golden Spirit Saint Mother.
What he saw made him freeze in place.
Because he could not see the presence of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother at all!
There was nothing by his side, not a single person in sight.
Such a pinnacle Daluo Immortal had disappeared without a trace?
The thought was incredibly bizarre!
The Golden Spirit Saint Mother was clearly traveling through time and space with him, so why had she suddenly vanished?
He hastily released his divine thought to scan the surroundings, vigilantly observing every direction.
Even with the Golden Spirit Saint Mother's Daoist cultivation realm, it was virtually impossible for someone to abduct her soundlessly. But what if it were a Saint who had acted?
Even if it wasn't a Saint, if it were Bai Ze who had made a move, he would also possess such capability.
After all, this person possesses many relics from the Ancient Demon Court, and the fact that they can travel through time and space is due to that Demon Emperor Hall; it appears as if they have fallen into a trap.
But who laid this trap, Bai Ze or someone else?
However, right now Yu Yuan doesn't want to consider these matters; he only wants to quickly find the Golden Spirit Saint Mother and then figure out where he is.
At this moment, a fair hand as white as jade momentarily flickered before his eyes and then vanished like a bubble as he watched.
"This is..."
Yu Yuan's eyes widened as a possibility suddenly dawned on him.
He activated the Chaos Bell.
Under the control of his Divine Thought, the damaged bell that was missing two pieces chimed on its own with a clear "ding," sending ripples of multicolored Chaotic Divine Light spreading in all directions.
A tall figure emerged within the Chaotic Divine Light.
She appeared graceful and ethereal, with lustrous black hair coiled into an Immortal's bun, adorned only with a White Jade Hairpin. Clad in a pale golden dress with golden hoops around her neck and a spot of gold between her brows, her dark eyebrows stretched with her smile, as beautiful as distant mountains seen across the horizon.
Yu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she hadn't vanished, it was fine.
He looked at the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, who was watching him with a puzzled expression, "What's going on? Why do I feel like this world is rejecting me?"
As she spoke, Yu Yuan saw her figure beginning to fade away gradually.
He hurriedly operated the Chaos Bell again, disrupting the surrounding Time Law, to stabilize the Golden Spirit Saint Mother's appearance.
"This is the Dao Law... In the same realm of time and space, whether it's a person or an object, only one can exist!" Yu Yuan explained with experience, "This realm already has a version of you in it, so as an outsider you can only exist in this realm as an observer, unable to interact with it..."
"Wait a minute!"
The Golden Spirit Saint Mother seemed to realize something, a flash of panic in her eyes, she exclaimed, "Then what about you? Why can your True Body exist in this future realm?"
Hearing this, Yu Yuan was taken aback.
He had been worried about his teacher, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, and had not thought much, but now he suddenly realized.
Logically, he should be like the Golden Spirit Saint Mother.
Just like the last time he traveled to the future, he was exactly like the current Golden Spirit Saint Mother, unable to truly manifest his True Body and only as an observer.
But this time, he was completely present in this unknown future realm.
Could it be... that this future realm never had someone like him?
At this moment, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother's expression changed markedly, clearly reaching the same conclusion.
She quickly addressed Yu Yuan, "Don't let your thoughts wander carelessly, there must be another reason. Maybe we got it wrong, mistaking the past for the future."
Yu Yuan nodded slightly, responding with a smile, "The Holy Mother's words make sense."
Nevertheless, he knew in his heart that this possibility was almost nil.
Because he had checked the treasures on him, and found that not a single one could be used; all the treasures, including the bronze mirror, had become illusory.
In other words, within this realm, only his person was non-existent; everything else existed in some corner of this realm.
However, Yu Yuan didn't pay too much attention.
Because the future is immeasurable, and all he's done is reach a future where he does not exist.
As long as he can return to the original time and space, everything still has a chance to change!
He could simply be more cautious after returning.
First, prioritize his own survival, and then consider other matters.
With this thought, he looked at the Golden Spirit Saint Mother and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about that for now; the urgent task is to find out what era this is and then figure out a way to return."
This time travel wasn't achieved through his Chaos Bell, which meant he couldn't be sure about how long he could stay in this era, as clearly as before.
Nor could he return to the original realm immediately.
For now, he could only take one step at a time.
However, what worried him more was what the person hiding behind the trap really wanted to do?
Was it just to exile him?
