Chapter 1 The Ancient Azure Ruins

In the third year after Jiang Xuan entered the Great Mo Institute, he learned from his senior brother, the "Binding Dragon World God," about a ruin suitable for his training. This ruin was very close to the Great Mo Eternal World, and at his speed, combined with his mastery of space-time, he could reach it in about a year.

"Ancient Azure Ruins, hmm…this is it."

After drifting in the Chaos for a year, Jiang Xuan arrived at a chaotic world. This was precisely the ruin mentioned by the Binding Dragon World God, suitable for his training. It was a ruin left behind by a Dao Lord named Gu Cang.

The creator of the Great Mo Eternal World was Emperor Yi Bo, the number one deduction expert in the Flame Dragon Domain World. However, before the Great Mo Dao Lord, there was actually a Third Step Dao Lord who ruled the Great Mo Eternal World. Later, the Great Mo Dao Lord defeated that Dao Lord, and from then on, the Great Mo Domain was named.

This Gu Cang Dao Lord was a follower of the previous ruler of the Great Mo Domain, a First Step Dao Lord. However, his Dao was ordinary, so his strength was also the most common among Dao Lords.

Of course, even if he was ordinary, a World Realm cultivator who had not created the strongest Dao was no match for him. Moreover, being able to create a complete Dao, even the most ordinary one, meant that becoming a Dao Lord made one far superior to a normal World Realm cultivator.

As for the Ancient Azure Ruins, they occupied one-fifth of the Ancient Azure Chaotic World. In the countless destructions and rebirths of the chaotic world, only this Ancient Azure Ruin was absolutely indestructible.

This was like the Lake Heart Island, Six Paths Heavenly Wheel, and Initial Ground in the Snow Eagle Lord's Tianyu universe. Even if the universe was destroyed, these ruins would not be destroyed.

However, Gu Cang Dao Lord was not an Eternal existence after all. The ruins he created would eventually be destroyed one day.

Of course, all of this was irrelevant to Jiang Xuan. The reason Jiang Xuan came here was because this Gu Cang Dao Lord was a Dao Lord of the space-time path. Although his space-time Dao was only the most ordinary, it was already extremely powerful for Jiang Xuan and worth coming here to comprehend.

Moreover, this secret realm was allowed to remain by the Great Mo Dao Lord, so no Dao Lord level had entered it. Although many World Realm cultivators had entered it over the long years, none of them were related to Ancestral Gods or Ancestral Immortals.

Gu Cang Dao Lord had considered this when leaving behind the ruins, and he deliberately separated the two levels. It was not surprising that the World Realm level was easily broken, after all, there were also very strong World Realm cultivators in the Great Mo Institute. However, the Ancestral God and Ancestral Immortal level was different. A Dao Lord's arrangement, even the most ordinary Dao Lord, could easily make things difficult for Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals.

Precisely because of this, although many Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals had entered this secret realm, no Ancestral God or Ancestral Immortal had ever been heard of to have obtained the inheritance left by Gu Cang Dao Lord.

Since no one had obtained this inheritance, Jiang Xuan would naturally not let go of such an opportunity. After all, if he succeeded, he would obtain a Dao Lord-level inheritance of the space-time path. Even an ordinary space-time Dao would be of considerable use to him.

On the east side of the Ancient Azure Chaotic World, in a void area, there were continuous stars, among which was hidden a strange space-time, covering the area of more than ten realm-domains, enveloping the void where hundreds of great worlds were located.

Stepping into it, Jiang Xuan was also teleported to a great world. This was a vibrant great world, with a vast and boundless land. All kinds of demon beasts could be seen, and even quite a few cultivators could be seen.

The creatures who were preparing to venture into the Ancient Azure Ruins, if they had not left, would also open up cave dwellings in this great world, and would even guide the creatures of this world when they had free time.

Of course, the inheritances they left behind were not very strong, especially the methods of the Qi Refining lineage, which were basically at the Third-Rank Golden Core level.

After all, these Ancient Azure Ruins were isolated from the outside world. Without the strength of an Ancestral God or Ancestral Immortal, one could not leave at all. Even if a Second-Rank Golden Core method was passed down, this world would not be able to gather so many cultivation resources.

"There are quite a few Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals remaining in this world now."

Jiang Xuan thought. Judging from the sensed aura alone, there were more than a hundred Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals in this world, but most of them were gathered in one place.

However, Jiang Xuan found an Ancestral God who was acting alone and, after a little inquiry, understood the reason.

It turned out that in this world, there was an Ancestral God named Qu Feng who had been adventuring for a long time. He was considered a Peak Ancestral God, but he had made a fortune in an adventure and directly bought a hundred Ancestral God and Ancestral Immortal level slaves. Among the many adventurers, his reputation was considered great.

Jiang Xuan sensed the aura and discovered that those gathered together were him and his slaves. Unfortunately, these Ancient Azure Ruins could not rely on the power of others. After each person entered the real trial ground, they would be isolated, so the hopes of this Qu Feng Ancestral God were also dashed. Now he could only stay in this world to find other methods.

Apart from Qu Feng Ancestral God, there were also more than twenty others acting alone. Each of them was at least a Peak Ancestral God, and there were four or five who surpassed the Peak Ancestral God, but even with their strength, none of them had ever succeeded.

"It seems that this Gu Cang Dao Lord really wants to find a monstrous Dao Lord to be his successor." Although this Gu Cang Dao Lord was only an ordinary First Step Dao Lord, he had become a Dao Lord by relying on himself, so he naturally had arrogance. How could he look down on ordinary Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals?

Therefore, it was normal for him to increase the difficulty of this trial. The only question was to what extent he had increased it.

After inquiring about some information, Jiang Xuan did not continue to stay and came to the edge of this world, where he saw a broken space-time, which seemed to be an ancient road leading to the unknown.

Jiang Xuan did not think much about it and directly stepped into it.

…

"So weak."

With a casual suppression of a puppet at the Peak Ancestral God level, Jiang Xuan muttered to himself and continued to move forward. The trial of these Ancient Azure Ruins was very simple, it was just about strength, similar to the trial of the Star Lake in the Great Mo Institute. The deeper one went, the stronger the puppets one encountered.

However, these were all puppets, and they were at the Ancestral God and Ancestral Immortal level. If they were taken out, they could be exchanged for quite a few treasures. Unfortunately, he did not have the strength to do so now. If he really dared to rob them, the power of the entire ruins might backfire. Not to mention him, some powerful World Realm cultivators would not be able to withstand it.

Soon, Jiang Xuan reached the tenth puppet. This time, the puppet already had the strength of a monstrous Ancestral God, but Jiang Xuan could feel that this was not the final trial.

Otherwise, over the long years, it would have been impossible for no monstrous Ancestral God to reach the end.

However, Jiang Xuan soon saw that after the tenth puppet, there was a vast space. This space was filled with chaotic mist, as if it were boundless.

However, in this space, there was a strange beast lying prostrate at this moment. It was blue-white all over, with crystal-clear whiskers, a head like a lion, covered in scales, stepping on dark blue flames with its four limbs, and its eyes were like the sun and moon hanging high. At this moment, it was staring intently at Jiang Xuan.

"A World Realm level beast?!" Jiang Xuan was stunned. No wonder no one had ever been able to take away the inheritance at the Ancestral God and Ancestral Immortal level. This Gu Cang Dao Lord really knew how to play, actually putting a World Realm beast here. Even ordinary monstrous Dao Lords would definitely not be a match if they encountered it!

"In this Chaos Era, you are the first to come here." The beast's voice was majestic and atmospheric. It did not immediately attack Jiang Xuan, but instead, like a mortal, it began to chat with Jiang Xuan.

"Ah, my master asked me to stay here and wait for a monster who could take me away. How many Chaos Eras has it been? I still haven't seen one…" The beast sighed and lay lazily, not wanting to move at all. "If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to him. Even being buried with him would be more comfortable than these days!"

"In this dark and dreary life, I have almost forgotten what light is like. I want to create a world, but I can't break the restrictions in this damn place. Master, are you deliberately trying to trick me…"

"Little brother, tell me, isn't my master too cruel? Back then, my name in the Ancient Heaven Domain was known to everyone…"

"It's all that damned Great Mo Dao Lord's fault. Why did he have to snatch our Ancient Heaven Domain? Is it just because the Yi Bo Realm is here? Hmm… well, he cultivates the path of deduction, and the ruins of Emperor Yi Bo are indeed very tempting to him."

"Speaking of that Emperor Yi Bo, I once heard my master mention him…"

Jiang Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. This was truly a "rare beast." According to its description, it seemed to be the mount of Gu Cang Dao Lord. And the Ancient Heaven Dao Lord was the former ruler of the Great Mo Domain who was killed by the Great Mo Dao Lord.

After the Ancient Heaven Dao Lord died, a group of followers such as the Gu Cang Dao Lord naturally had to die as well. However, the Great Mo Dao Lord gave them the opportunity to leave behind inheritance ruins, and this beast was left behind for some reason.

"This… is the final trial?"

After listening to this beast's ramblings for a long time, Jiang Xuan could not help but interrupt. It was just because it had not talked to anyone for too long that it was so talkative. Once it opened its mouth, it could not stop.

"Yes? Did you think there would be other trials? How is that possible? You are only at the Ancestral God level. Although my master didn't want you to take the inheritance easily, you are already facing me, a World Realm cultivator, so the difficulty is already great enough, so…"

"Stop!"

Jiang Xuan helplessly scolded. He only asked a question, but this beast kept chattering on and on. If he didn't interrupt, he didn't know which chaotic world it would talk about.

"Defeating you means passing the trial, right?"

"Defeating me? Don't even think about it. I am a top World Realm cultivator. If you can hurt me, I will consider it your win. Of course, with your Ancestral God realm strength, that's impossible…"

"Bang!"

Jiang Xuan could not bear it any longer. This beast was too noisy. He was too lazy to interrupt verbally. He stepped across space-time and directly punched out, striking towards the beast's jaw.

"You sneak attack!"

"Boom!"

Jiang Xuan was too lazy to care about what it was saying. He directly sent it flying with one punch, but at the same time, he also found that this beast was thick-skinned. His punch did not cause any damage at all. Its physical body was even more terrifying than his. Even some monstrous God Ancestral Immortals would probably have difficulty hurting it.

However, this was also good. He just lacked a sandbag. Now that his physical body had broken through, comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and coupled with his own strength, which was enough to rival a top World Realm cultivator, he now wanted to test his limits in battle.

And this beast was the best sandbag, so Jiang Xuan did not give it any chance to rest, completely unreasonable. The three great secret techniques, *Extinction Sword Canon*, space-time unique skills… plus the heart power enhancement, whatever was powerful, he used it, and struck towards it.
