After testing the effects of the Moonlight Record once, Li Xingkong was generally satisfied with the technique.
Putting aside the highly random time span, it is indeed easy to use and very effective.
What are you doing? Aren't you going to rest for a bit?
Li Xingkong planned to strike while the iron was hot and do it several more times, striving to control the random timing within a relatively reliable range.
Since I'm cultivating the Moonlight Record in this Primordial World, even if I make a mistake, my fellow disciples can help me out, so naturally I should practice it until I'm proficient.
With a flash, Li Xingkong disappeared from the small world once again.
A few minutes later, he reappeared in the same spot, looking somewhat disheveled.
"Holy crap, how could it be from the first battle between the Jade Void Palace and the Demon Clan? That was so many years ago!"
When Li Xingkong returned, he dusted himself off, looking somewhat lost in thought.
The scope of this "past" is a bit too broad.
Fortunately, his senior brothers were incredibly resourceful; even in the midst of a direct battle, they were able to spare a hand to send Li Xingkong back.
"No, try again..."
Li Xingkong, who was determined to master the Moonlight Record, would not be discouraged by this mistake.
Over the next few months, the system watched numbly as Li Xingkong began his so-called cultivation.
Sometimes it runs back from outside, because the time point of the Traversal is too close and it's too lazy to jump again. Sometimes it flashes back to the original place in a flash, because it was sent back by its former senior brothers.
Li Xingkong's state of mind gradually changed from the initial tension and excitement of opening a blind box to the relaxed and carefree feeling of taking a bus.
And his control over the Moonlight Record was gradually improving.
From initially having no idea how to control the range, he can now control the time jump range to within a few thousand years before and after the target point.
Although the time span of several thousand years is still quite large, it is more than enough for Li Xingkong.
It's only a few thousand years; he can probably finish it in one cultivation session now.
The reason he didn't continue to improve was because Li Xingkong wanted to settle his affairs in the Primordial World first, so that he could devote himself to cultivation in the Jade Void Palace.
Otherwise, if he stays in the Jade Void Palace for even a day, the numerous small worlds within the Sea of Worlds will have to pass through countless cycles of time. What if he returns and the Primordial World has already changed beyond recognition?
Having made up his mind, Li Xingkong rested and then ended his practice of the Moonlight Record.
"What, you've finished repairing it?"
The system glanced around as usual, trying to see where Li Xingkong would return from this time, but unexpectedly saw that Li Xingkong had recovered from his cross-legged state.
"Pretty much. I've been out here for a while now, it's about time I went back to the Primordial Universe."
Li Xingkong explained his plan and system.
"Oh right, you came from a small world and even signed an internship contract. It's best to understand this stuff beforehand, just to avoid any trouble later."
The system's eyes lit up.
It would be best to complete the contract that this cultivator signed with the Primordial Universe as soon as possible.
If successful, the Primordial World will hold the cultivator's civilization and race in higher regard; in other words, it will be seen as divine intervention. If unsuccessful, or even if the cultivator escapes, their relatives and friends left behind in the universe will be in serious trouble, for the Primordial Universe possesses its own will.
If she persecutes you, no matter how capable you are, you won't be able to continue your cultivation smoothly.
"Almost. After clearing the contract with the Primordial Universe and settling this matter, I can return to the Jade Void Palace and focus on my cultivation."
That's exactly what Li Xingkong thought.
Moreover, after he advanced to the Nascent Soul, very few people in the Primordial Universe could pose a threat to his physical body.
Returning home this time is like a successful traveler returning home in glory, filled with anticipation.
"That's true. Do you know the way back?"
The system countered with a question.
"You should know that..."
Li Xingkong hesitated for a moment. He still remembered some of how he jumped from the Cosmic Sea to the Primordial World.
But he couldn't quite remember where his Primordial Universe was located.
It's important to understand that the universe itself is in constant motion, not to mention that the Primordial Universe we inhabit is conscious.
Its trajectory cannot be calculated using ordinary formulas.
Although he possessed the abilities of Nascent Soul, and could trace back the path he had taken, it was clear that even if he could return the way he came, he would not be able to find the universe itself, which had vanished to an unknown location.
"Hmph, I'll have to do this kind of thing."
The system then became somewhat smug. As an early education machine, navigation was naturally a piece of cake for it.
"Besides, don't you find it troublesome to go back and forth like this?"
"Of course it's troublesome, but what other options are there? The Primordial World is vast and remote; we can't just fly there and back."
"Flying there is a bit difficult, but flying back can be skipped."
The system shook itself.
"Since you're going back now, I'll apply for a Homecoming Knot for you first."
" Homecoming Knot?"
Li Xingkong had never seen this thing before.
"This is a unique item of the Jade Void Palace, specifically for cultivators who ascend from smaller worlds."
"Although the Primordial World is vast, it is not their home. Some cultivators naturally have a homesickness, but merging the entire universe with the Primordial World is not their wish. So they developed this kind of artifact."
"To put it simply, it's just a teleportation anchor point. It can be used to connect with the small worlds of the Jade Void Palace cultivators, establishing a link between the Primordial World and the small worlds planted in the Primordial World. The people within, or even the cultivators themselves, can then use this anchor point to travel between the Primordial Universe and their small worlds."
"As for how to place this anchor point, that's up to you. First, refine it with the small world, and then place it in the Primordial Universe."
As the system spoke to Li Xingkong, the light on its body slowly rotated. Before it could finish speaking, the light on its body intensified, as if something was about to emerge from its body.
Li Xingkong reached out and took it; an ordinary red bracelet landed in his palm.
"Speak of the devil, and he appears; this is it!"
Looking at this seemingly ordinary string of beads, Li Xingkong felt as if he were seeing his childhood, and a feeling of longing for his hometown welled up within him.
Shaking his head, Li Xingkong put on the bracelet and began to communicate with the small world.
What's there to miss? You can travel back and forth to the past, and you can see your hometown whenever you want.
