304 The Tower Of Time And Space Part One

Scorching hot land of fire, where it is nothing but a sea of flames that reached high into the sky. Not a single shred of land to stand on could be seen within this sea of flames. Beyond it was a land of ice that held the flames back freezing the flames in place without even putting them out. 

High in the sky at a spot where the fire and ice meet, Alicia stood up high looking down at the dual wasteland below. She was standing in the sky alone because Grandpa Mu and Tang Guanting were not able to stand the extreme amount of law energy in the area. This was why this place had never been explored. The fire and ice in this location were not natural but a remnant of when two ancient gods had fought. Their proficiency in the law of fire and ice was beyond most comprehension leading to a devastated land that had once been a fertile landscape with much floral and fauna. 

Because of this high density of law energies both Grandpa Mu and Tang Guanting had to hide in Alicia's space. Even Alicia could feel the pressure from the law energy in the area. "Well I guess staring at the scenery will get me nowhere but I must be careful otherwise I might end up getting myself killed."

Alicia slowly made her way towards the center of this devastated land. It was where a tall tower that was both on fire and frozen stood tall. It was also where the law energy was the strongest. This was most likely the exact spot where the two ancient gods fought. Hovering over the entrance to the tower, Alicia wiped the sweat from her forehead. "He said I would find something within this hellish place. The only thing here is this tower so I am guessing this is the only place I will be able to find what I am looking for."

Readying her sword just in case, Alicia floated down in the only gap within the field of fire and ice. It was at this location that the entrance to the tower was accessible. Landing on the ground, Alicia took a deep breath as she did her best to resist the large amounts of law energy around her. 

Walking forward she entered the tower. Luckily as soon as she stepped through the entrance the pressure from the law energy from outside was gone. Alicia was able to relax a little now that she was not being weighed down. She looked around and saw that the first floor to the tower was bare. There was nothing on the first floor, no stairs or anything. Just a floor, walls, ceiling, and pillars made of black jade. 

Alicia looked around the room feeling a bit disappointed but did not give up. She waved her hand and sent out a few balls of light to allow her to see the room clearly. As she looked around again she saw some carvings in the wall on her left. "Let's see..."

After reading the message Alicia finally understood why there were no stairs. "So basically I just need to make it to the top of the tower while passing the trials."

Alicia waved her hand and formed a rift leading up. But when she passed through it and stepped out the other side she ended up falling down from the ceiling onto the floor. With a *thud* Alicia's face turned red. She was glad no one was around to witness such an embarrassing scene. She climbed back onto her feet and looked at the ceiling with a frown on her face. "Is it because I do not know where I am going or is my translocation magic not actually space and time magic?" 

Alicia couldn't help but feel like something was off. But she did not give up. She tried several times more only to end up with the same results. After being defeated so many times Alicia was starting to feel discouraged. She sat on the ground staring at the ceiling when a thought came to mind. She waved her hand and sent a small fireball at the ceiling. It was not strong but should have been strong enough to at least scorch the surface of the ceiling. But when the fireball was just about to hit the ceiling a shimmer could be seen at the impact point just before the fireball touched the ceiling. The fireball instantly dispersed into thin air.

"So there is a barrier of some kind. If I am not wrong then the barrier blocks anything that is not space and time magic. But what is space and time?" This question confused Alicia. She really had no idea what space and time was. Did it have an actual form or was it invisible? "As far as I know space is just a void. It just happens to be filled with many objects. Time on the other hand is what gives birth to life and death. Once your time starts you will eventually meet your end unless you surpass time itself. No this can't be right otherwise immortals would die of old age…. So what exactly is time?" Alicia was lost. Everything she knew about the concept of time seemed to be wrong. Now that she had met people who can live forever. Where time had no effect on them.
