Chapter 634 - 393: Corridor of Time

Chapter 634: Chapter 393: Corridor of Time

Lu Cang stood before the ruins.

First, he opened one of the Extreme Perception Potions he had refined.

POP~

GULP~

He downed it in one go, a sour and astringent taste filling his mouth.

At the same time, Lu Cang felt his Perception stretching farther, growing clearer.

After advancing to Level 6 Decryption Scholar, his Perception Range had already surpassed 100,000 kilometers.

Now, after drinking this potion, his Perception Range expanded even further.

With just one potion down, it had already extended to 140,000 kilometers.

The potion provided a base Perception Range of 20,000 kilometers, but on top of that, Lu Cang had various other miscellaneous Perception bonuses.

Lu Cang’s own studies were quite diverse; even though he didn’t major in Perception, he still knew some Dharma Gates for honing it.

All told, it was roughly a twofold increase over his original base.

If he were to switch to an Enchanted Armor Set specifically designed to enhance Perception Range, it might even surpass Lu Luwei’s current range.

GULP~

GULP~

GULP~

One potion after another was opened, the liquid pouring into his abdomen like a stream. It transformed into a surging torrent of heat that rushed upward, flooding his brain and pouring into his Sea of Consciousness.

Not a single bottle was left; Lu Cang drank all twelve potions.

When his Perception expanded once more, he saw vast swathes of the immense continent illuminated within his senses.

A Perception Range of four hundred thousand kilometers.

Finally, he had managed to stack his Perception high enough.

His Speed had become too fast, and his previous Perception Range was too small, making it difficult to handle his current level of combat. It left him feeling somewhat restricted when he fought.

To put it simply, an opponent strong enough to contend with him could also cross tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant.

But his Perception couldn’t reach that far.

This forced him to rely on his eyes, which could put him in a passive position.

However, with the aid of his Final Sense’s Intuition, fighting hadn’t actually felt too inadequate.

It was just inconvenient, is all.

This current Perception Range, however, was more or less usable.

This month was a Purity Moon.

His Divine Level·Enlightenment Realm Awareness had once again brought him a new realm.

「Battle Realm: Primordial, Unchanging」

Primordial Realm: Allows any self-created Combat Skill to exhibit an Effect stronger than its original.

Unchanging Realm: Makes all Forms he executes difficult to distort or alter.

The Moonlight Realm was "Purity."

Lu Cang applied this realm to his first Form, "Source," allowing his Body Refining Technique to cleanse him, washing away Curses and all sorts of negative Effects, returning his physical body to its most primordial and pure state.

Of course, this didn’t mean regressing his state and becoming weaker.

Rather, it meant returning to a state uninfluenced by any external factors other than himself.

’I wonder if it can wash away any potential contamination on me.’

But Lu Cang chose to believe that it could.

"Hmm..."

A point of light manifested in Lu Cang’s right hand.

’I should let her know.’

"Lu Luwei, if I’m not out in a month, you all should go to the Land of the Moon without me."

The point of light floated toward the sky, following Lu Luwei’s Qi to deliver the message.

’If I’m not out in a month, I might have already reincarnated.’

After finishing his final preparations, Lu Cang walked toward the snail-like spiral door before him.

He felt Space invert. He was walking straight ahead, yet he advanced in a spiral, as if in circular motion.

The scene before him gradually sharpened from a blur into focus.

Lamps.

A wall clock.

A fireplace.

A painting.

A long corridor, exactly as he had seen in his Future Preview, filled with a classical and mystical atmosphere.

The very moment he arrived, Lu Cang’s Perception spread out, but within his Perception, the corridor was different.

The corridor in the preview had been quadrangular.

By extending his Perception to its absolute limit, he could see a 90-degree corner.

After the turn was another long corridor.

Measuring the distance, after traversing four such corridor segments and four ninety-degree corners, he would end up back where he started.

That was what happened in the previous preview.

But now, with his expanded Perception Range, he looked ahead with his senses and saw no corner at all.

It was just a very, very straight corridor with nowhere to turn.

’So many details are different.’

"An Su."

"What do you think?"

An Su, whose Perception was synchronized with Lu Cang’s, also saw the corridor. "This is a time corridor," it said.

’As expected of an old undying fossil, it sure knows a lot.’

"It’s related to Aikator... However, this probably isn’t His Trial."

He’d heard that name again.

Aikator.

Luoti had mentioned it before, but she had said many things, and Lu Cang hadn’t investigated every single one.

Now that An Su had brought it up again, Lu Cang felt he should ask about it.

"Who is that?"

An Su closed its eyes and replied, "A being related to Time."

Lu Cang asked again, "A god?"

An Su shook its head. "No. It’s unknown whether it’s a god or a Level 9 or Level 10 being."

"All that is known is that His power is comparable to Moon’s, perhaps even greater."

"You’ve never encountered Him?" Lu Cang asked.

"Even in my era, Aikator was nothing more than a legend," An Su said. "But even as a legend, He still left some things behind in this world."

"Things that allow the world to recognize Him and know that He still exists."

An Su’s Perception extended slightly, guiding Lu Cang’s own Perception in a certain direction.

Lu Cang followed An Su’s guidance and looked toward the wall clock. The clock’s Pointer was like the ’∞’ symbol, and the Pointer passed through the ∞.

"This is His symbol."

"From the moment you see this symbol, all Laws related to Time will begin to warp."

"This is also one of the few instances I’ve ever seen where Time can be distorted."

"Boy, you were so insistent on entering these ruins."

"Are you hoping to get something from this place?"

"I believe I’ve reminded you before: Time is irreversible. What has happened, has happened. Instead of futilely searching for a way to reverse Time, you’d be better off thinking about how to remedy what’s already been done."

Many thoughts flashed through An Su’s mind.

Lu Cang sensed that it still thought he wanted to undo what had happened on Earth.

"Instead of telling me all this, you’d be better off helping me figure out how to leave this corridor. If you can’t come up with a solution, then just tell me more about that Aikator."

While conversing with An Su in his mind, Lu Cang paced forward.

Although the corridor seemed infinite, with every certain distance he walked, the wall clock’s Pointer would point to a different number.

After just a few short steps, a solution had already begun to form in his mind.

’I probably won’t need An Su’s help at all. I can solve this myself.’
