Chapter 2299

Space-time Stone Pillar

"Since the method to enter the Space-time Quicksand River is in the hands of the Quicksand Family, and now that Kuang Li has been fooled by me, he must be furious. I must enter the Space-time Quicksand River before he can react."

Zhuowen muttered to himself as he sat inside the airship in the starry sky, his eyes flashing.

"Xiao Hei, go faster!" Zhuowen said to Xiao Hei, who was piloting the airship in front of him.

Xiao Hei curled her lips and grumbled. However, she didn't delay and immediately increased the speed of the airship to a new height.

The Space-time Quicksand River wasn't particularly far from the Gulan Celestial River, so it only took Zhuowen three hours to reach the periphery of the Space-time Quicksand River.

Zhuowen looked at the river suspended in the vast starry sky in the distance with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

The Space-time Quicksand River was composed of Space-time Laws, which were much stronger than the surrounding starry sky Laws. Therefore, the surrounding starry sky was repelled by the Space-time Quicksand River.

Coupled with the fact that the Space-time Quicksand River was greyish-white and stretched across the starry sky, it looked like a surging river.

There were many cultivators on the periphery of the Space-time Quicksand River, but compared to the surrounding starry sky, it didn't feel crowded at all. On the contrary, it looked spacious and sparse.

There were many buildings around the Space-time Quicksand River, but Zhuowen could see that these were all temporary buildings.

After all, space-time distortions often appeared near the Space-time Quicksand River. Therefore, the surrounding buildings could easily be destroyed by the space-time distortions. Therefore, no one lived around the Space-time Quicksand River. Only some adventurers would often come here.

However, at the outermost periphery of these temporary buildings, an extremely magnificent white jade temple attracted his attention.

At a glance, one could tell that this temple had existed for a very long time. In this place where space-time distortions could happen at any time, this temple had remained intact until now. From this, one could see that this temple was not an ordinary building.

Back then, Cao Feng had told him about the method to enter the River of Spacetime Quicksand. He had to enter Quicksand Temple, and Zhuowen knew that the white-jade temple in front of him was the Quicksand Temple that Cao Feng had mentioned.

Before Zhuowen got off the airship, he had already changed his appearance. He knew very well that after being tricked by him, Kuang Li would definitely not let him off. Perhaps he had already spread the news of him to everyone in the Quicksand Family.

Zhuowen's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.

Zhuowen headed straight for the White Jade Temple.

It had to be said that there were quite a number of cultivators here. However, most of them could only look up at the temple. None of them attempted to approach or enter it.

Everyone knew that without Wild Gravel's permission, no one could enter the temple. Even though everyone knew that the temple hid the secret to entering the space-time quicksand river, they still didn't dare to barge in.

The Quicksand Family was the most powerful force in the Old Orchid Star River. No one here dared to risk offending the Quicksand Family by entering the temple. Once they barged in, the price they would have to pay would be their life.

When Zhuowen walked to the entrance, he saw two familiar faces.

The two people were a man and a woman. The woman was beautiful, but the man beside her was even more beautiful than the woman. If the man wasn't wearing men's clothes, he might have been mistaken for a woman, and an extremely beautiful woman at that.

Zhuowen was naturally no stranger to these two people. They were Zhu Rui and Yao Xiangjun, whom he had met once in the Quicksand Family.

The two also noticed Zhuowen walking over. Zhu Rui just glanced at Zhuowen indifferently. She didn't recognize Zhuowen, and her eyes were extremely calm.

Yao Xiangjun, on the other hand, gave Zhuowen a meaningful look, and the corners of his mouth revealed an unfathomable smile.

Zhuowen's eyes were calm. He knew that Yao Xiangjun should have recognized him. He wasn't surprised by this. Yao Xiangjun had a pair of strange eyes. Previously, Yao Xiangjun not only saw through Zhuowen's restriction on the Heavenly Domain Star Essence in the jade bottle, but also saw through the Wild Gravel's Spiritual Sense Imprint on him.

Now that he could see through his disguise, it was reasonable.

"Friend!

You also entered the space-time quicksand river?

I think you have something urgent to do. Why don't you go in first? "Yao Xiangjun looked at Zhuowen and said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Zhuowen cupped his fists and stepped forward. He knew very well that Yao Xiangjun wanted to help him, so he also intended to accept this kindness.

Zhuowen knew very well that Wild Gravel should be here soon. At that time, this old man would definitely recognize him. At that time, it would be difficult for him to enter the space-time quicksand river. Therefore, he certainly couldn't stay here any longer. The more he stayed, the more dangerous it would be.

The space inside the temple was quite large, but there weren't many people. In the center of the temple stood a stone pillar.

This stone pillar was covered with red runes, and the ancient aura it exuded made Zhuowen's heart tremble.

The stone pillar reached the top of the temple, supporting the central vein of the entire temple.

"This is the space-time stone pillar!"

Zhuowen muttered to himself. Cao Feng had told him a lot about the temple before. Generally, cultivators who entered the space-time quicksand river must pass through the space-time stone pillar.

It was said that the space-time stone pillar was accidentally obtained by Wild Gravel of the Quicksand family. Moreover, they relied on the space-time stone pillar to build the temple around it.

It was also because of this space-time stone pillar that the temple wasn't affected by the space-time quicksand river's spatial distortion and stood until now.

Around the space-time stone pillar, there were three black-robed old men sitting cross-legged. Zhuowen's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the three black-robed old men.

The skinny old man sitting in the center glanced at Zhuowen and said indifferently, "Do you have a qualification token?"

Zhuowen didn't waste any time and threw the qualification token in his hand to the black-robed old man.

These three old men weren't simple. They were all powerhouses of the Void Sky Eighth Step, especially the skinny old man. He was probably at the late stage of the Void Sky Eighth Step at the very least.

These three were all powerhouses of the Quicksand family. The fact that the Quicksand family could send these three powerhouses to guard the space-time stone pillar showed how important it was to the space-time stone pillar.

After Zhuowen handed over the qualification token, Zhu Rui and Yao Xiangjun entered the temple.

"Senior brother, why did you let this person in first?" Zhu Rui looked at Zhuowen with some displeasure.

Yao Xiangjun smiled and said, "This person is an old friend of ours, and he might be a little troublesome. There's nothing wrong with letting him in first."

Zhu Rui was puzzled. She glanced at Zhuowen again and found that he gave her a very unfamiliar feeling. She was sure that she had never seen this person before, so why did Yao Xiangjun say that this person was an old friend of hers?

Just as Yao Xiangjun was about to explain, his gaze suddenly changed and he turned to look outside the temple.
