After a slight sensation of weightlessness, the scene before Bai Xiaowen's eyes settled into focus again.
Before him stood a city called Jiangdu.
Bai Xiaowen understood at once. Jiangdu was Yangzhou City during the Sui Dynasty, and it was also where Emperor Yang of Sui had died. It seemed this Treasure Ground Space was indeed connected to Emperor Yang of Sui's death.

"That's a good thing too. We can learn this Treasure Ground Space's secrets more quickly," Bai Xiaowen said.
"But none of us have the default disguises
