Under the setting sun, a lonely figure was walking in front of this desolate plain. In front of him was an old city. The reason why it was called an old city was because the walls were dilapidated and were mottled.

The only city in the Northern Field was like this. It was not even as pleasing to the eye as a tribe.

However, if one looked closely, he would realize that the closer he got to the old city, the redder the ground beneath his feet became.

"Is this blood-soaked?"

Lin Xiao softly muttered as he stepped on the reddened ground. This was a scene that could only be achieved with the help of countless slaughter. Just imagining it was enough to send chills down one's spine.

As he got closer and closer to the city wall, Lin Xiao took large strides as he ran. It was getting dark, and he did not want to spend the night outside the city.

Stepping on the three steps of the Sky Serpent, his figure flashed as he approached the old city. It was as if he had teleported. This was not the highest realm of the three steps of the Sky Serpent. It was said that when the three steps of the Sky Serpent reached the highest realm, it could perform short teleportation.

For example, if he were to reach the highest level of the Three Steps of the Sky Serpent, he would only need to take two steps to reach the old city.

"I obtained the Three Steps of the Sky Serpent from Fang Daoyu. Speaking of which, I've been in this world for almost two months. Due to the difference in spacetime, maybe two days passed on Earth, or maybe two years passed."

Lin Xiao sniffed and adjusted his state of mind. In fact, he was just leaving home. It wasn't like he hadn't left home, he just didn't know where he was going.

"I hope it's the former …"

In the end, he forced a smile. It was useless to adjust his mentality. As long as he was a true person, there was nothing wrong with thinking about home.

Even though the city wall door was just a foot away from them, it showed signs of closing. Seeing this, Lin Xiao hastily opened his mouth to stop them. However, someone had already shouted out a step ahead of him.

Lin Xiao tilted her head to look. It was a man with a similar build to her. If she looked closely, there were many similarities between the two.

The biggest difference was that Lin Xiao's voice had always been very gentle, unless there was a violent emotional fluctuation. The man's voice could be described as full of heroic spirit.

The two of them arrived at the city gates at the same time. The person smiled at Lin Xiao, then thanked the cultivators who had stopped closing the city gates and led the way into the city.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao also entered the city. The scene within the city caused his mouth to be half-open. For a long time, he didn't say anything.

If not for the fact that this day was still on his head, he would have thought that he had come to the Lin Clan Village. There was no luxurious mansion restaurant in the city, nor did there exist any mansions.

The few cultivators who were in charge of closing the city gates closed them and entered their own small houses.

Lin Xiao felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. He felt that this place was very grounded, and the splendor of gold and jade made him feel that his confidence was lacking.

He slowly walked on the street. The doors of the houses on both sides of the street were open. Occasionally, there would be a few children chasing and making a ruckus, running from one house to the next.

After walking for a short time, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a reaction from the Chaos Laws within his body, as if they were pulling him in another direction.

Lin Xiao was amazed to see that the Chaos Laws were able to sense them on their own. He decided to go and take a look.

Following the directions of the Chaos Laws, he passed through a maze of alleyways and arrived in front of a dilapidated temple. It seemed that no one was in this temple.

Lin Xiao stood in front of the broken temple and could clearly sense that the Law of Primal Chaos was very eager to enter the temple.

The Law of Primal Chaos that gave birth to emotions caused Lin Xiao to be alarmed. He felt that this was very demonic. If one were to say that the power of the Great Dao contained life within it, he could not refute it. After all, the power of the Great Dao was the foundation for building a world, but why would the power of the Dao have its own independent thoughts?

He knew in his heart that this desire was not born of his heart. Rather, it was an emotion produced by the Chaos Laws.

Should he go in or not?

Lin Xiao began to hesitate. He was afraid that there would be some sort of special existence or item within this broken temple that would cause a change in the power of the Primal Chaos Path. This change might be disadvantageous to him.

He could see everything inside the temple. There was nothing special about it. There were a few praying mats, a broken statue of a god, weeds and straw everywhere. Many paintings on the walls had holes in them.

The wooden table in front of the broken statue was covered with tiny wormy holes, and the plate on which the tribute was placed was dirty and covered in dirt.

What was attracting the Chaos Laws to such a place?

"Who's here?"

As Lin Xiao was deep in thought, a voice sounded out from behind him, waking him up. He turned around and saw that it was the man he had bumped into at the city gate.

"So it's you. What are you doing here?"

Lin Xiao didn't know how to reply. Could it be that he had followed her Laws here? Perhaps he would even be mocked by this man in front of her.

"I was passing by and saw that there was no one in the temple, so I wanted to take a break." After all, he really needed a place to stay temporarily. It was getting late, so it would be inconvenient to travel during the night, and a sudden situation might occur.

"Sure, I've found a place to rest before, so there's no harm in having one more person."

Only then did Lin Xiao notice the wine gourd hanging from the man's waist, as he carried a gunny sack in his hand. The sack was filled with the fragrance of food, as if he had gone to find something to eat.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to accept the man's invitation. If she rejected it, wouldn't that mean that what she said before was a lie?

In this way, he would have to enter this broken temple even if he didn't want to.

The two of them entered the run-down temple and each found a praying mat to sit down on. Lin Xiao always felt uncomfortable, moreover, the reaction of the Law of Primal Chaos was even more intense.

The man laughed loudly as he took off the wine gourd and placed it on the ground. He opened the gunny sack which contained four to five rice balls.

"Come, brother, let's eat some dumplings."

Before Lin Xiao could say anything, the rice ball had already been thrown at him. He had no choice but to catch it.

"Bro, what is your name? Where did you come from?" The man asked Lin Xiao curiously while chewing on a ball of rice.

Lin Xiao quietly rolled her eyes. Was this an account search? However, he soon laughed at himself. Where did this world get such an account from?

He had originally wanted to answer the man. He had come from the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands to go to the Western Heavens to gather scriptures.

However, how could he joke when a man was so passionate and did not care about small matters.

"Your humble servant is Lin Xiao, preparing to go to the 13 cities."

Lin Xiao felt that there was no problem with his answer, but the man burst into laughter, not even having time to swallow the rice ball in his mouth.

"Brother, you're so funny. You call yourself a lowly person. We cultivators don't eat this kind of literary style. You have to have the spirit of me flying around the world."

This man was as he said. His movements were bold and unrestrained. He truly was a man of character.

"My name is Fang Tian. Ever since I was young, my father has told me that you must always remember this sentence in your heart and place it at your lips. Moreover, you must also use this phrase as your goal."

Fang Tian patted his chest, the result causing him to choke and cough violently. He embarrassedly smiled at Lin Xiao.

"What kind of words?" Lin Xiao curiously asked.

"This old man is number one in the world."
