[Second Update]
This giant pit was called the Sky Pit in Qin Yin, and it was called the Sinkhole in Yunliu.
Salin and the others entered the sinkhole with great caution. However, as they slowly descended to the bottom of the sinkhole, Salin found that there really wasn't much danger here. There were magical beasts in the sinkhole, but they were all small, with the largest being no more than a meter long. There wasn't much water in the sinkhole. Obviously, there was an underground river that could drain the rainwater.
Without the help of a magic compass, Salin simply calculated with astrology. It was already night. Although the starlight couldn't be seen with the naked eye, in Salin's Elemental Eyes, the power of the stars still clearly appeared in the clouds, scattered at the bottom of the sinkhole.
The starlight guided the direction. Salin's level-nine astrology wasn't very powerful, but he could roughly determine the entrance of the temple with a margin of error of more than five hundred meters. The space in the sinkhole wasn't big to begin with. It was equivalent to a small city, and the ground was full of jagged rocks. Salin quickly locked onto the location, took out the Blessing Ring, and began to experiment.
It wasn't difficult to search within a radius of five hundred meters, no matter how slow it was.
After searching for about half an hour, the Blessing Ring finally sensed the opening of the temple.
This place happened to be a rock crack, wide enough for Neris to enter and exit in her demon form. The bottom of the crack was shrouded in black fog. After Salin released the power of faith, the black fog crackled and ignited into flames.
The black fog didn't dissipate after being burned. Instead, it became denser, but the poison in the fog was burned away by the flames. A passage opened in the black fog. Neris, in her demon form, held the gray memory in her hand, and was the first to jump in.
She had been in and out of the temple many times, so she knew that even if it was dangerous, it wouldn't be much. Unfortunately, her experience was fatal. After falling for more than five hundred meters, before Neris could see the ground, a huge vine flew out from the side and wrapped around her feet.
Neris's sword of rule quickly chopped down, cutting the vine in half. The power of the sword of rule was unbearable for the vine, and it shrank back with a whoosh.
At this time, Salin had already jumped down with the others. His body was wrapped in a Water Shield. The surface of the shield flickered with lightning, illuminating hundreds of meters around him.
There was still a big pit under the sinkhole. Salin was depressed. In the vertical passage, all kinds of plant roots and vines sprang out, trying to grab the target. What was the Goddess of Nature doing? The attack power of the plant roots in this passage was comparable to that of a supreme mage.
Nelis had the Rule Sword in her hand, so she wasn't afraid. Salin himself had the Water Ripple Shield, and the roots and vines didn't dare to touch the lightning on it. Both Shika and Eilinor were able to maneuver through the roots with ease. Both of them had the ability to control natural creatures. Even though it wasn't very high, it was still easy for them to avoid being attacked by the creatures in front of them.
Nicholas pulled Isabella to his side. The Fallen Scepter in his hand glowed with a faint grey light, allowing them to avoid the attack. The two Golden Sword Saints and Winter had to rely on their own strength to break these attacks.
Salin keenly felt that the flow of time was speeding up. He could sense that it was because he had cultivated in the Astrology Tower. He had only descended a hundred meters, but the flow of time here was already similar to that of the Astrology Tower.
This divine temple of the Goddess of Nature was actually a place that could change the speed of time.
Everyone's falling speed increased. Salin had no choice but to release the Cloud Walking Spell and envelop everyone within it. Within the clouds, tornadoes, wind blades, fireballs, and snowflakes danced wildly, mincing, cutting, burning, and freezing all the nearby plant roots.
As time flowed faster, Salin felt that his falling speed was also increasing. Fortunately, this speed was constantly being adjusted. After descending for about five kilometers, Salin suddenly felt that he had touched the ground.
First, the clouds were scattered by the powerful impact. Then, the Water Ripple Shield couldn't protect everyone anymore and shattered with a crack. The flying ability of Salin and the others was restricted here. This impact made Salin feel as if all the bones in his body were about to break. If Shika hadn't caught him in time, injuries would have been inevitable.
"How is everyone?" Salin released the Fluorescence Spell, brightening up the surroundings.
There were groans all around. Everyone was caught off guard as they neared the ground. The falling speed was fast and slow, and at ten meters from the ground, they hadn't even realized that they were about to reach the bottom.
Nicholas' injuries were the lightest. His Fallen Divine Spell wasn't affected here, but mages weren't good at flying, so he had to protect Isabella.
The space in front of them was huge. Salin didn't need to search to see a tall divine temple. Compared to the other divine temples they had been to, this one was the most magnificent.
The twenty-four pillars outside the temple were more than a hundred meters tall. The door of the temple was open, and Salin could see the altar inside. There was nothing above the altar, only various reliefs on the walls. They seemed to be flowing and constantly changing.
Salin distributed the magic potion and Nicholas healed everyone's injuries. Salin and Shika walked to the door of the temple and looked inside.
Time flowed faster in this temple. Salin looked inside and saw that the reliefs on the walls were changing at least ten times faster than outside.
Salin raised his hand and released an ice bomb. The ice bomb flew high into the air and burned, illuminating a wider area.
This was a huge independent space. There were only four temples, separated by a few kilometers. Salin looked at the four temples and fell into deep thought.
"Master, there might be nothing here." Neris released the demons to search. These demons specialized in searching for treasures and equipment had been trained to be very knowledgeable. None of them reported anything to Neris.
The materials used to build the temple weren't ordinary. They could at least maintain a temple for tens of thousands of years, so they were considered very advanced. However, the main purpose of these building materials was to maintain the flow of time here. Salin didn't know if he should dismantle the temple and take it away.
"Let the demons take a look inside."
"Yes, Master." Neris summoned a weak familiar and let it walk into the temple in front of Salin. After the familiar entered, its movements immediately became very fast. That was because the flow of time in the temple was too fast. It was more than ten times faster than outside.
"Neris, let the demon measure how big the space is." Salin ordered. The space here wasn't big. Elemental Eyes could see through everything, but the flow of time was different everywhere. Only the temple was stable. So it wasn't accurate to use elemental eyes to judge.
"What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other. They followed Salin here with a clear purpose. They wanted to find all the equipment in the temple that could increase their strength. Salin had already demonstrated it. He dismantled the previous temple.
"Master, we can't dismantle the temple here. If we dismantle it, we won't be able to withstand the time turbulence." Nicholas spoke. He knew that when the divine technique was practiced to a certain level, it could control the flow of time in a large area. Prophecy had such an ability, but the area controlled was too narrow. Generally, it was an individual attack.
"Hey!" Salin wasn't disappointed. Instead, he said, "I want to go in and train. The flow of time here is much faster than on the Myers Continent. Every meter we descend, there will be changes. The flow of time in the temple is the most stable. I'm afraid it's thousands of times faster than outside."
After listening to Salin's judgment, everyone was looking forward to it. If this was the case, everyone could train here and improve their strength to a certain level before leaving. Salin happened to have powerful enemies that were difficult to fight against. If he could advance, at least he wouldn't be afraid of enemies like the Chief Inquisitor in the future.
"You don't have any objections?" Salin asked strangely.
"You are the Master!" Su's answer was recognized by everyone. Dong didn't refute this. If he wanted to advance, he first had to eliminate the damage his body had suffered at the Pope's place. He needed time.
The space created by Goddess Myers turned out to be a common training ground in ancient times.
The Six Dimensional Space created by Rafael was somewhat similar, but the difference was that the Six Dimensional Space had limited changes in the flow of time. Its biggest function was to provide powerful elemental power, which far surpassed the elemental badges and elemental creatures that Salin had mastered.
Salin smiled and lifted his leg to walk into the hall. Zola pulled him back and said, "Let's go in first, one by one. It won't be a problem to stay here for a day. The Master can enter again."
Salin didn't refuse. Zola bypassed Salin and pressed his sword to enter.
Sure enough, there was no danger in the hall. After Zola entered, his wristguard didn't react. Salin and the others watched Zola walk along the walls inside, searching for dangerous traps. After a few minutes, Zola had walked around the hall and then walked up to the altar. The altar was empty. Zola lowered his head to observe the materials on the altar. After thinking for a while, he turned around and beckoned.
Nicholas took the initiative to walk up and enter the hall. He also learned from Zola to search for dangerous places. The space inside the hall was only about 300 meters long and wide. Nicholas searched for a while and didn't find any problems.
Then it was Eleanor. She, as an elf, entered the hall and used her elven perception and skills to explore, but still didn't find any danger. Salin then said, "There is no need to look. This is our training ground, and it should be collapsing soon."
Shika was startled and immediately understood Salin's words. The Lookout would only start operating after it was opened. Before that, the flow of time below was the same as that on the ground. Only when someone opened the Lookout would the divine arts of Goddess Myers be activated.
The building materials here were ordinary, at least in the past. For a level 18 god, it was completely possible to build a space that would continue operating for ten thousand years. However, the materials here couldn't last that long.
This was a training ground prepared by the goddess for future generations. Because the flow of time was too fast, the Lookout would also decay. Salin couldn't calculate when the operation of the divine arts would end, so he could only try his best to make use of this time.
Salin didn't allow anyone to stop him. He directly walked into the Lookout and stepped up to the altar.
After entering, the Elemental Eye finally stabilized and could observe the materials on the altar. The entire hall was operating with the altar as the core.
