Chapter 307

As system maintenance ended, many previously triggered but not yet updated messages popped up in her mind.

One of them was the compensation she received in return for the golden hourglass she had previously gifted to Xu Xiuer.

The system was under maintenance at the time, and there was no notification; she was unaware of it.

Only now, when the system notified her, did she realize that there was still compensation she hadn't claimed.

[Ding! Successfully detected that the host has gifted you an opportunity. Please choose one of the following compensation options:]

[1. Reflections on the Way of Time and Space over Several Years]

[2. The ancient character for "time"]

Xiao Minghuang's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the two options.

"Ancient characters from the past..."

She had already obtained the Void Ancient Script; now, if she were to obtain the Time Ancient Character as well, what changes would occur?

As for the first option, she didn't even consider it.

"I choose option two!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

An ancient and mysterious rune, radiating an invisible light, appeared within her Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven, slowly flowing out countless intricate and profound patterns.

Those patterns seem to contain the truths of the universe, which are awe-inspiring and captivating.

"Is this what they call ancient characters from the past?"

Xiao Minghuang muttered to herself.

In the distant past, the meaning of a single word could be all-encompassing, representing countless things that modern people can never understand.

The moment the ancient characters of time appeared in her Purple Mansion, the Void Ancient Script that had been sitting quietly in her Holy Palace for a long time seemed to come alive and began to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, the Void Ancient Script emerged from the Holy Palace, swirling around the ancient characters of time, revealing a hint of joy.

This reaction was something Xiao Minghuang had never seen before.

Under her gaze, the two ancient characters began to spin, and after a moment, they completely merged into one.

The ancient characters gleamed with a faint silver light, and every pattern and line was filled with a mysterious and unpredictable power, like the original source of the world, capable of bearing all the changes and constants of the universe.

It floated in the very center of the Purple Palace, radiating an invisible silver light that made people hold their breath in awe.

"This must be... the Time-Space Ancient Script..."

Suddenly, this concept popped into Xiao Minghuang's mind.

Time and emptiness merge; if it is not called spacetime, then it will have no other name.

The Time-Space Ancient Script are the most fundamental manifestation of the Time-Space Great Dao. If she can comprehend the mysteries of these ancient characters, she can completely control the Time-Space Great Dao and the River of Time!

Although she cannot arbitrarily rewrite the past or future, even a slight understanding is enough to greatly enhance her strength.

Xiao Minghuang calmed herself down and tried to sense the Time-Space Ancient Script, but suddenly felt dizzy.

Before her eyes appeared a chaotic scene, a vast expanse where nothing could be seen in any direction, and she alone existed between heaven and earth.

Before Xiao Minghuang could even observe, she saw two pale purple lights suddenly appear in the hazy mist, like two sharp swords cleaving through chaos, as if they were about to split the primordial chaos and recreate the world.

Her heart pounded, and she tried to escape, but before she could make a move, the two beams of light rushed towards her.

But when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the cabin.

"Call--!"

Xiao Minghuang let out a long sigh of relief, "Was that... being transported to some other dimension, or was it an illusion?"

She pondered for a moment, but could not find an answer.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to go into seclusion and cultivate for a while."

Xiao Minghuang thought to herself, "Just now, I was only tentatively trying to make contact with the Time-Space Ancient Script, and I was instantly sent to another time and space. If I want to comprehend the Time-Space Ancient Script, I should be more careful."

In some unknown era, amidst endless chaos.

In this spacetime, there are no east, west, south, north, up, down, left, or right; nothing that can be identified or marked exists.

Even the Cosmic Great Dao cannot extend itself to this extent.

Just then, two pale purple lights suddenly appeared, like two sharp blades, piercing through chaos, shattering the primordial chaos, and tearing apart all obstacles.

At the same time, a whispered voice rang out.

"... Who... is peering into transcendence..."

After a moment, everything calmed down, and the chaos returned to silence.

Inside the cabin, Xiao Minghuang calmed his mind and stopped studying the Time-Space Ancient Script.

"Given my current level of cultivation, it seems I'm not ready to make contact with Him yet. Let's wait a little longer."

At that very moment.

A knock suddenly sounded on the door.

Knock knock knock!

"Come in!"

Xiao Minghuang said.

Creak!

The door was pushed open, and Su Miaomiao's figure came into view.

"Princess sister..."

Su Miaomiao called out timidly.

"Is something wrong, Miaomiao?" Xiao Minghuang asked. "I haven't prepared the introductory cultivation technique yet, but it shouldn't be long..."

"No..."

Su Miaomiao took small steps to the edge of her bed, and without thinking, she flipped up her collar.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned and immediately reached out to press down her clothes.

"Miaomiao, we've only known each other for a short time, and you're already... Besides, you're still young, you should at least be over the age of marriage..."

Xiao Minghuang spoke each word carefully, his expression and tone serious.

Su Miaomiao's face flushed red, and she lowered her head, whispering, "No... no, I have something... I need to give to the princess..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang was taken aback, then realized that she had made a huge blunder.

However, with her quick wit, she remained calm and composed, saying seriously, "Oh? What is it?"

Immediately, Su Miaomiao took out a storage bag from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Minghuang.

Xiao Minghuang took it and examined it.

"The ancestor said that this storage bag is a gift for Princess."

Su Miaomiao said, biting her lip.

Inside the storage bag were only two exquisite little boxes, both engraved with ingenious restrictions that isolated all communication between the inside and outside.

On a whim, she took out the two boxes.

Seeing this, Su Miaomiao became curious and asked, "Princess sister, what's in this box?"

402. The Yellow Emperor's Book of Life

"I don't know either." Xiao Minghuang shook her head. The restrictions on the box meant that they wouldn't know what was inside until it was opened.

"We'll find out once we open it."

The words had barely left his mouth.

With a thought, she condensed the power of the void into a small knife and severed the small lock on the box.

The next moment, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, refreshing and delightful.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Minghuang looked up and saw a silvery-white spiritual herb placed in the box, its spiritual light shimmering.

The herb is nine inches long with nine leaves. It is crystal clear and faintly emits a medicinal fragrance, which refreshes the mind and body, as if enlightened.

"Nine Revolutions Soul Suppressing Grass!"

At a glance, Xiao Minghuang immediately recognized the spiritual herb.

What is the Nine Revolutions Soul Suppressing Grass?

Su Miaomiao blinked, her face full of confusion.

Gazing at the spiritual herb before him, Xiao Minghuang murmured an explanation, "The Nine Revolutions Soul Suppressing Grass is an extremely rare spiritual medicine with a powerful effect on restoring the Primordial Spirit and true spirit. If a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm were to consume it, they could directly refine their primordial Primordial Spirit to the perfect state!"

"This medicine is extremely precious, even effective for saints. It's a treasure that not even the most powerful families in the major holy lands possess. This gift from Ancestor Su is far too valuable..."

Previously, Xu Xiuer had lost her sight, and Ancestor Su was present at the scene.

During the time she was inside the ancient tomb, Ancestor Su must have gone to great lengths to obtain the Nine Revolutions Soul Suppressing Grass before delivering it to her.

This was undoubtedly a great favor bestowed upon her by Ancestor Su.

She had no choice but to accept this favor.

Because not only Xu Xiuer needs this herb to treat her eyes, but also an old friend of hers needs it.

Xiao Minghuang's gaze shifted, landing on Su Miaomiao in front of her.

The meaning behind assigning Su Miaomiao the task of delivering the medicine couldn't be clearer.

The purpose was to have her teach Su Miaomiao, so that she could protect this little girl until she truly grew up.

During this period, the two sides will inevitably develop a deep affection for each other.

If Su were to encounter misfortune in the future, would she stand idly by?

"Ancestor Su, you're really good at scheming..."

Xiao Minghuang sighed softly.

"What did Princess Sister say?"

Su Miaomiao asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing." Xiao Minghuang waved her hand, put away the box containing the Nine Revolutions Soul Suppressing Grass, and said, "Let's see what's in the second box."

"Um."

Su Miaomiao obediently responded.

Immediately, Xiao Minghuang opened the second box.

Inside was a palm-sized yellow Jade Slip.

The surface of the yellow Jade Slip is covered with patterns, resembling some kind of ancient script or pattern.

As Xiao Minghuang gazed at these words, he could feel mysterious and profound runes appearing before his eyes, as if they were telling some kind of profound truth.

"This is... Jade Slip for inheritance?"

Upon seeing the appearance of the Jade Slip, Xiao Minghuang exclaimed in surprise.

She never expected that Ancestor Su would send such a generous gift!

This Jade Slip of inheritance is far more precious than the previous Nine Revolutions Soul Suppressing Grass!

Because the techniques recorded within are not ordinary techniques or supernatural abilities, but a supreme classic!

However, this cultivation technique was not simply given to her.

She hesitated for a long time before finally uttering five words.

"The Yellow Emperor's Book of Life!"

"Princess, what are you saying?"
