Ning Cheng and Chu Man Ho were both top formation masters, and while Black and White Whiskers’ formation models were clearly both based on spatial fluctuations, they had a dao rhythm of the passage of time.
In just a moment’s time, Ning Cheng and Chu Man Ho were both caught up in these formation dao models. The two even began to observe them one by one, completely forgetting the main purpose of their visit.
Black and White Whiskers also didn’t care about it, letting Ning Cheng and Chu Man He study them while he himself continued to refine the formation flags.
After a few consecutive days, Ning Cheng finally lifted his head. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, as Black and White Whiskers’ time formation model vaguely contained a hint of the Twilight Sea’s realm of intent divine ability. What did this mean? It meant that Black and White Whiskers had really grasped a trace of Ji Fengyu’s arrangement of the Eternal Hope Gate.
He had sensed the Sunset Twilight in the Sea of Twilight and was all too familiar with the Sea of Twilight. Black and White Whiskers was right, the Eternal Hope Gate was not a space formed using the laws of space, but a space formed up by the laws of time.
Ning Cheng suddenly recalled a scene where he and Yu Qing were standing in the Sea of Twilight, and he frantically rushed towards the Dusk with Mu Qing on his back. The closer they got to the Dusk, the faster they aged and the closer death came. But after the two crossed the dusk, it was the beautiful morning sun.
The Eternal Hope Gate is the divine arrangement of the Sea of Twilight. To cross the Eternal Hope Gate, one must use the formation to find the setting dusk of the Eternal Hope Gate and then rush through the dusk.
“Sea of Twilight ……” Ning Cheng muttered as he realised that he understood the arrangement technique of the Eternal Hope Gate, and that it was indeed a great divine ability of the Law of Time, the Sea of Twilight. Unfortunately, he couldn’t even find the Winged Hope Gate Twilight, let alone rush out of it.
At best, his Sunset Twilight could only be considered a grain of sand in the Sea of Twilight. The Eternal Hope Saint Emperor was so astonishingly talented that he could not even comprehend a billionth of the Sea of Twilight’s great divine power.
Black and White Whiskers looked at Ning Cheng appreciatively and nodded, “Not bad, in just a few days, to be able to see the Sea of Twilight from my formation model is considered to be very enlightened. With your level of formation dao, it’s not impossible for you to break through the Divine Formation Master and go further, what else did you see?”
“The sunset is infinite, it’s just near dusk. Beyond the dusk is the morning sun ……” Ning Cheng excitedly spoke out the insight he had gained at the Sea of Twilight, it wasn’t something he had seen, but the insight he had gained at the Sea of Twilight.
“You, you ……” The originally very calm Black and White Whiskers suddenly stood up and excitedly grabbed Ning Cheng’s shoulders, “You can actually tell from my formation model that crossing the twilight is the morning sun ……”
Ning Cheng was sweating profusely in his heart, “Beyond the dusk is the morning sun” He did not see it from Black and White Whiskers’ formation model, but he had sensed it himself.
However, he did not dare to tell the truth, he was afraid that if the truth was told Black and White Whiskers would be disappointed with him and instead did not want to tell him how this time formation of the Yongwang Sect should be broken.
Luckily, Black and White Whiskers did not care about Ning Cheng’s face, in his opinion, Ning Cheng now said that crossing the dusk was the morning sun, so he obviously saw the true function of his formation model.
“Good, good, if I tell you all that I know about this Time Rule Formation of the Eternal Hope Gate, perhaps we can really open the Eternal Hope Gate.” Black and White Whiskers rubbed his hands together in excitement. His cultivation level had dropped so much that his understanding of the time and space laws had plummeted. If Ning Cheng had understood what he was trying to do, he might have been able to gain a clearer understanding of what to do.
Chu Man Ho also came back to her senses, her level of formation dao was already stronger than Ning Cheng’s. After looking at the formation models left behind by Black and White Whiskers for a few days, and after listening to the conversation between Ning Cheng and Black and White Whiskers. At this moment, she also sensed that the Yongwang Gate might really be a Time Rule Formation.
Black and White Whiskers did not care about Ning Cheng and Chu Man Ho’s thoughts and kept taking his models out, explaining them one after another.
Time rules could also open up space, and it was the first time Ning Cheng had heard such a theory. He was even hungrier to absorb the formation knowledge that Black and White Whiskers imparted, and if there was anything he did not understand, he immediately asked.
Time slowly passed and Ning Cheng, Chu Man Ho and Black and White Whiskers were completely immersed in the Dao of Formation. At the beginning it was Black and White Whiskers who kept explaining his model of the formation dao and his understanding of the rules of time tearing through space. At this time, Ning Cheng and Chu Man Ho often asked about things that they did not understand.
As Black and White Whiskers explained more and more clearly, Ning Cheng and Chu Man He asked less and less. At the end of the day, the three of them completely formed a pattern of discussion, each not understanding, immediately speaking out and the other two answering.
A few months later, Ning Cheng’s level of formation dao had skyrocketed. The Great Time Rule Formation, which had been studied by Black and White Whiskers for millions of years, was also studied again and again by the three.
The three stinkers were still better than Zhuge Liang, not to mention that all three of Ning Cheng were not stinkers, but true formation dao powerhouses. Black and White Whiskers had studied the Yongwang Sect Formation for millions of years, and in the right direction. Chu Man Ho had researched in the wrong direction, but she had studied it for countless years after all. And Ning Cheng had joined for the shortest time, but he had been to the Sea of Twilight and was also very knowledgeable about the Sunset Dusk of the Sea of Twilight.
The combination of these three was more than countless times faster than Black and White Whiskers alone before.
Another two years passed and the three stopped discussing at the same time.
Black and white whiskers with a disheveled face and a despondent tone said, “Ji Fengyu is really powerful, the Sea of Twilight, huh, the Sea of Twilight ……”
Chu Man Ho’s face also showed the same despondency, black and white whiskers research direction and judgment are correct, they are looking for is where the sunset of the Yongwangmen Twilight Sea is. As long as they can find where the sunset is, then they can cross the Sea of Twilight and leave the Yongwang Gate.
And today, with the deduction of countless formation models, the three of them finally found out where the Sea of Twilight of the Yongwang Sect was.
It was finding out where the Twilight Sea of the Yongwang Sect was that made Black and White Whiskers and Chu Man Ho so despondent. For finding it and not finding it were the same thing; the Twilight Sea of the Eternal Hope Sect was the Eternal Hope Abyss. If they could cross the Eternal Hope Abyss and leave the Eternal Hope Gate, they would not have studied the formation. Black and White Whiskers and Chu Man Ho had been researching for millions of years, only to end up back at the origin, the origin being the only way out of the Yongwang Sect rumoured to be the Yongwang Abyss.
“The saying that the Eternal Hope Abyss is the only way out of the Eternal Hope Sect is really true.” Black and White Whiskers was no longer in the mood to study the formation model and slowly stood up.
“This Ji Fengyu person is so despicable, to use such a tactic. Putting the only way out of the Abyss of Eternal Hope, it’s clear that no one will be allowed to go out.” Chu Man Ho cursed with cut teeth.
The same thing, Black and White Whiskers felt that Ji Fengyu was so powerful, while Chu Man He felt that Ji Fengyu was so despicable, this was the difference.
Black and White Whiskers said indifferently, “The Way of Heaven is inexhaustible, there is a line at the end of the day. As a strong person who pursues the Heavenly Dao, Ji Fengyu naturally left a line in the eternal hope gate he set up. Since there is a line left, it is our lack of ability that prevents us from getting out.”
“Why are you not disappointed, is it because you came for a short time and paid less?” Seeing Ning Cheng’s incomparably calm expression, Chu Man Ho couldn’t help but ask a question.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly and did not answer Chu Manhe’s words, instead he clasped his fist and asked, “I have heard that the first realm of the Third Step of the Dao of Enlightenment is the Realm of Realm Creation, may I ask the two fellow Daoists, how many realms are there in total in the Third Step of the Dao of Enlightenment, and what are they respectively?”
To the surprise of Black and White Whiskers and Chu Man Ho, the question Ning Cheng asked had nothing to do with their research on the way out of the Eternal Hope Sect.
Although they had only been together for just over two years, Ning Cheng’s perception and understanding of the Dao of Formation had already made Black and White Whiskers very appreciative. If there had been a formation dao genius of Ning Cheng’s calibre studying with him before, perhaps he would have found the reason long ago.
“The third step of the Dao of Enlightenment has different levels for each of the other two realms, except for the first realm where one forms their own world. Each person’s perception is different, and the worlds and rules formed are also different. The three realms of the third step are also called the three realms of creation. The second step derives the rules of the universe and heaven and earth of one’s world, fuses the rules of the great realm, and all things are brought to life, which is the realm of the Harmonious Realm. The third step is to step out of the universe of heaven and earth, beyond all living things, to open the door of creation and live forever, this is the realm of creation.”
Black and White Whiskers replied cautiously.
“Then what realm is Ji Fengyu?” Ning Cheng had long heard about pushing open the Gate of Creation, and he had some doubts as to whether Cang Wei was a third-step powerhouse.
“The world rules that Ji Fengyu himself had condensed were unstable and eventually collapsed, which means that he had only barely stepped into the Realm of Creation.” Black and White Whiskers said with a sigh, seemingly still lamenting over such a genius powerhouse. Completely forgetting about his own situation and who had actually brought it about.
“Ning Cheng thanks Fellow Daoist Black and White for clearing up the confusion, I have a few guesses of my own.” Ning Cheng said after clasping his fist in thanks.
Black and White Whiskers did not study formations and was still considered normal, nodding his head after hearing Ning Cheng’s words, “Daoist Friend Ning, please speak.”
“I think that Daoist Friend Black and White has a good saying, the Heavenly Dao is not extinct, there is a line at last. If that line is really the Eternal Hope Abyss, do the two of you think that it is still a line? Over the countless years, I’m afraid there have been quite a few people who have wanted to leave from the Abyss of Eternal Hope, right? And who has gone over?” Ning Cheng asked.
Ning Cheng’s words immediately caused Black and White Whiskers to stare, he had entered even earlier than Chu Man Ho, and was considered one of the first cultivators to enter the Yongwang Gate. How many people had been imprisoned in the Yongwang Sect back then, I’m afraid there were thousands of them, and only how many now? A hundred or so? Most of these people had gone to the Eternal Hope Abyss, except for a very few who had fallen in the Eternal Hope Gate after fighting with others.
“So that’s why the Eternal Hope Abyss doesn’t even count as the ray of life that Ji Fengyu left behind.” Ning Cheng immediately affirmed when he saw Black and White Whiskers freeze.
“Where is that silver lining? Are you saying that the Sea of Twilight we deduced is not the Abyss of Eternal Hope?” Chu Man Ho asked eagerly.
“If I haven’t guessed or felt wrong, that ray of life is in the Eternal Hope Abyss.” Ning Cheng said with certainty.
Black and White Whiskers and Chu Man Ho looked at each other, Ning Cheng had just denied that the ray of life was in the Eternal Hope Abyss, and then he turned around and said himself that the ray of life was in the Eternal Hope Abyss, wasn’t that contradicting himself?
