“A year ago, she went to the Sky Sea Desert and has not been heard from since. Before that, she told me that the Sky Sea Desert must have something to do with the cultivation civilisation, and then wanted to go and check it out. At that time, I was in the process of hitting a bottleneck, so I didn’t go with her. After she lost contact, I also went to the Sky Sea Desert, but once I went, I knew I was too weak, and then I desperately cultivated, wanting to improve my strength ……”
Yilei’s tone was tinged with self-blame, clearly she felt that Dai Xin’s disappearance had something to do with her not going there together.
Ning Cheng frowned and asked, “The Heavenly Sea Desert? What kind of place is this?”
After asking this question, Ning Cheng knew what the Heavenly Sea Desert was. His divine sense had swept out earlier and found several large deserts, and because he hadn’t cared, he hadn’t noticed that one of the deserts was one that wasn’t originally found on Earth. Now that Yilei was talking about the Heavenly Sea Desert, he immediately understood.
“Yes, this desert was not originally there. It was centred on the location of a small town not far from the outbreak of the insect wave, and then spread outwards. It later spread all the way to the edge of Jing City in China, including Baiwan Cape, which turned into a desert area ……”
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept over once again, and he really found that the Baiwan Cape, which was at the beginning, had slowly deserted. And the location where he had fought the insect tide at the beginning had all turned into a desert at this time. This desert had almost formed the number one desert on Earth, and from afar it looked like a sea of sand, no wonder it had the name Heavenly Sea.
Yirei continued to explain, “The centre of the spreading Tianhai Desert is called Wakka Town, which was originally a small town on the edge of Russia and was considered prosperous, but now it has become the cause of the formation of the Tianhai Desert. Many people have gone in to investigate and have disappeared, and I suspect that Dai Xin has gone to this town too.”
“How so?” Ning Cheng asked, puzzled.
“Because this town disappears into thin air at night, and it reappears during the day. It’s very bizarre, many scientists who went in to explore it, as long as they didn’t come out that day, then the next day they would disappear without a trace just like the night before. Now Wakka Town, too, is called Lost Town.” Yirei’s tone was a little backward, and it was clear that she had visited the town too.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense landed on a small town in the middle of the Heavenly Sea Desert, and he did see a small town. Farther away from the town, there were numerous makeshift tents. Some people were going in and out, and they all looked to be some scientists on expeditions or people exploring.
What amazed Ning Cheng was that with such a powerful divine mind, he saw the inside of the town blurred.
This was definitely caused by the top of the line prohibitions, and Ning Cheng immediately said to Yilei, “I’ll go take a look, you cultivate well. If Dai Xin is there, I will bring her out. If not, I’ll go straight away and see you later as fate would have it.”
Ning Cheng did not instruct Yilei not to go to Lost Town, since he had gone over to check it out, no matter how weird this Lost Town was, he would make the weirdness disappear.
With his strength of the Harmonious Dao, even slapping down a planet would be a breeze, let alone a tiny forbidden place on Earth.
“Brother Ning, take care of yourself.” Yilei covered up her emotions completely, not revealing half of them. If there was no chance to set foot in the starry sky, let her grow old slowly here. If she had the chance to set foot in the starry sky, she would go after what she wanted.
……
The desert on the outskirts of Lost Town did not have any army stationed there, only their own various expeditions. Even though Ning Cheng did not know why there was no army stationed here, he could guess some of it. This was a place where expeditions from various countries were simply allowed to explore because it was the border of each country.
“What are you doing?” A young man with a high-class camera hanging on his body saw Ning Cheng empty-handed and about to enter Roka Town single-handedly, and hurriedly stopped and asked.
“I’m going in to take a look.” Ning Cheng said with a smile, this youth was a warm-hearted person, stopping him, he should be worried about his safety. What made Ning Cheng feel even better was that this youth was also a Chinese.
The youth hurriedly shook his head and said, ”You must not go in at this time, this town will disappear completely in another hour at most. Even if you want to go in for an inspection, you will have to wait until tomorrow ……”
Speaking of expedition, he subconsciously looked at Ning Cheng’s body, Ning Cheng had neither a backpack nor a rear defense weapon, going in like this was no different from seeking death.
“Thanks.” Ning Cheng nodded, “I just want to go on an expedition when this town disappears, if I wait until tomorrow, then I won’t be able to examine anything.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng turned around and walked towards the fading haze of the town.
“Wait for me.” A woman in her thirties ran over.
Ning Cheng looked at the woman suspiciously, her dress was exaggerated, she carried a large backpack on her back, had a three-pronged thorn and a dagger strapped to her boots, and even had a pistol at her waist. The looks were rather ordinary, with a raging chest contrary to the ordinary looks.
It was also a Chinese woman who looked like she was leaping to her feet.
“My thoughts are the same as yours, if you don’t go in and examine the town when it disappears, you won’t be able to examine anything at all. I support your idea and go in with you.
“Sister Ya, you want to enter the Lost Town at this time?” The youth who had just stopped Ning Cheng obviously knew this woman in her thirties and hurriedly said anxiously.
The woman nodded, “I have been here for almost half a year, I must find out what is going on in Lost Town.”
“But over the past few years, how many people have gone in at night and never come out?” The youth’s tone grew more and more anxious.
The woman smiled, “The truth always requires someone to sacrifice, doesn’t it?”
“Then I’ll go in with you.” The youth said somewhat helplessly.
To his surprise, Sister Ya did not persuade him after he said this. This made him feel a little discouraged, “Sister Ya, you should at least persuade me.”
The woman said again, “You are not a child, since you have decided, then you have your own ideas, why should I persuade you.”
Ning Cheng shook his head, didn’t say much and walked in first.
The woman hurriedly quickened her steps to Ning Cheng’s side and said, “My name is Zheng Ya, I was originally a journalist and have since been in the Tianhai Desert. I feel that you are a capable person, but how come you don’t have anything with you to defend yourself, nor do you carry anything ……”
“Ah ……,” Zheng Ya said, shrieking and retreating behind Ning Cheng.
A blonde haired man, who walked out abruptly from behind a drab wall at the entrance of the town, looked at Ning Cheng and the three of them and called out hello.
Ning Cheng had already seen this fellow and did not care. It was the youth who explained on the side, “This man is an adventure journalist from Rice, called Kang Li. Once he had just come out of Lost Town, and Lost Town faded away in a blur. Just a little bit, by the way, my name is Liu Pin, a professional adventurer.”
Ning Cheng nodded and looked at Zheng Ya and asked, “How did you get the feeling that I was capable, just because I didn’t bring anything with me?”
Zheng Ya smiled again and said with some embarrassment, “Actually, I have long wanted to come in at night to take a look, but I was just a bit scared indeed by myself. Now that you happened to come in, I’m just bracing myself. By the way, what do I call you.”
The implication was that if the person who came in was not Ning Cheng, she would follow just the same.
“Oh my, you guys are going to enter Wakka Town now?” The blonde man said in astonishment, still speaking Chinese fluently.
“My name is Ning Cheng ……” As he spoke, Ning Cheng had already walked onto the main street of the town.
The shops and houses on both sides of the street were mottled, and even though it had only been a few short years since this town had been swallowed by the desert, that sense of historical vicissitudes felt as if hundreds of years had passed.
“I’ll also go in with you guys to take a look ……,” Kang Li, who was still in awe just now, suddenly turned around and caught up with Ning Cheng and the three of them.
At the end of the town, there was a drab and dilapidated church, and even when Ning Cheng stood outside the church, he could feel a burst of Yin Qi.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept in and inside the church there were countless remnant souls wandering around. It was just that these remnant souls were shivering one by one under Ning Cheng’s divine sense and hid in a corner of the church.
“You can’t go in here, this church is the ghost hall of Lost Town, whether it’s day or night, as long as you go in, then something will go wrong. Even if there are occasionally one or two that survive, they all become idiots ……” Seeing Ning Cheng trying to enter the church, Liu Pin hurriedly said.
It was Zheng Ya, who had been trying to enter, who also said on the side, “Ning Cheng, Liu Pin is right, this church is indeed a bit odd. When we go in, I heard that there are ghosts howling inside. Why don’t we go somewhere else to check it out first, and this place will be the last to look?”
Ning Cheng did not say anything, his divine sense had checked this town long ago, and there was no problem elsewhere. The problem was in this church, before his divine sense was unable to penetrate every corner of the town, it was also because of this church.
At the top of the church, there was a small piece of law world floating around that was completely invisible to the naked eye. To be honest, Ning Cheng had never heard of such a small and high level Law World.
Ning Cheng was sure that this Law World was not of a low level, and even with his divine sense, he could not fully penetrate every corner in a hurry.
However, at this moment, Ning Cheng stood in front of this small Law World and could see clearly that it was a Spatial Law World. With the level of this Law World, it was definitely not something of Earth. The reason why the Heavenly Sea Desert could be formed was also because of this piece of Law World.
This piece of Law World had a cycle of fluctuations, and every night, the Law World space would connect the space within the confines of this town to the void outside of Earth. Once one enters this town at night, it is the same as entering the void through a teleportation array.
It would be fine if one had cultivation, but almost all of the people on Earth were ordinary people, and it would be strange to enter the void and have a chance to live.
As for the spirits in that church, some were from Earth, but some were brought from the void.
This small piece of spatial law world was valuable, and Ning Cheng knew that as long as he took this law world away, the Sea of Heaven would not be spreading and the town would not be missing.
What worried Ning Cheng was that Dai Xin must have entered this Spatial Law World and then been swept into the void. The other thing that worried him was that he did not know if any powerful spirits had entered the Earth through here.
