Ning Cheng did not know what had occurred to him and did not try the darkness rules again, instead he let Wang and Chasing Ox control the Star Wheel to the Eternal Hope Abyss as he continued to return to his cabin to close up and deduce the darkness attribute rules.
Both Wang’s strength and insight were not comparable to that of Chasing Ox. Under the Eternal Hope Abyss, Wang did not know how many jade slips left behind by powerful people he had come into contact with. Coupled with the help of the world’s mountains and rivers, the speed of the Starry Sky Wheel in the void became increasingly rapid.
“Fellow Daoist Wang, according to our directional sphere indication, it seems that we are about to arrive at Mount Jiaquan, right?” Chasing Ox patted Wang’s shoulder with his hoof and said casually.
In his heart, Wang could not wait to chop Chasing Ox’s hoof straight into a stew, but every time Chasing Ox said how much the lord favoured him, he was emboldened. He had seen Ning Cheng’s strength, it was too strong, and as far as he could remember, he was afraid that Ning Cheng was considered the strongest one. As for those ancient powerhouses in the First Creation War, they had long since blurred in his memory.
Wang did not move and pushed Chasing Bull’s hooves away, and was about to speak when he felt a black tide surge in. At this moment, both his divine sense and his gaze were plunged into an endless black abyss, and an oppressive aura came over him, making it difficult for Wang to breathe.
What was going on? Hope suddenly stood up and uttered a sound of surprise. He was horrified to discover that in this darkness, not only was his divine sense and vision blurred, but even his divine Dao rhythm seemed sticky and seemed unable to be inspired.
It was originally darkness beneath the Abyss of Eternal Hope, but this kind of terrifying darkness he had never seen before.
Just as Wang wanted to sacrifice his magic treasure for protection, the black tide around him instantly disappeared.
His divine sense cleared up and his gaze could now see everything around him. Wang looked at Chasing Ox in confusion, “Brother Chasing Ox, did you perceive the darkness attacking you just now?”
The panicked look in Chasing Ox’s eyes told him that this ox had felt the same kind of ghastly darkness just now.
“Have you arrived at Calvary Mountain?” Ning Cheng’s voice came in time.
Wang hurriedly turned back and bowed and cupped his fist, “Yes, Daoist Lord Ning, this is the outskirts of Calvary Mountain.”
After hesitating for a moment, Wang still asked, “Daoist Monarch Ning, that endless terrifying darkness just now ……”
Ning Cheng said indifferently, “It’s nothing, it’s one of my divine abilities that I’m beginning to achieve, I tried it out a little bit just now.”
Wang sucked in a cold breath in his heart, what divine ability was this? It was so terrifying. It was like two mortals sparring with swords and one of them was blindfolded by a black cloth.
Wang dared not think any further as he carefully glanced at Ning Cheng, his heart growing more and more frightened. In front of Ning Cheng, he was the blindfolded gnat. He thought that the existence that was still a mole in front of him was now an existence that he looked up to.
“All come out of the Starry Sky Wheel, and we will go straight to the Eternal Hope Abyss in the Meteor Soul Gorge like this.” After saying this, Ning Cheng waited for Wang and Chasing Ox to come out and raised his hand to collect the Starry Sky Wheel.
Because of Wang’s sudden appearance, Ning Cheng had to put the matter of finding the Starry Sky Wheel’s artifact spirit on hold for a little longer. At this time, a top grade magic treasure, that was equal to a life.
If he were to give him the Creation Indestructible Axe, he would not necessarily have to flee even if he faced Xing Xi. Now more and more powerful people were gathering in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and more and more powerful people were coming from the Jiaquan Mountain. Ning Cheng was worried that someone had entered the Eternal Hope Abyss before him and had taken something better.
With his current strength, there were really not many people in this side of the universe who could chase him down and flee. The Starry Sky Wheel Artifact Spirit was only useful to him, underneath the Abyss of Eternal Hope were treasures, and that was something that would appeal to anyone.
The chasing bull was very pleased that the lord had not let it enter the Xuanhuang Pearl, this was the same as letting it take a ride outside.
Ning Cheng knew Chasing Ox’s nature and loved the hustle and bustle the most. He was letting Chasing Ox stay outside for the sake of the fact that it had controlled the airship for so many years to make the journey.
“Yes.” Hope hurriedly led the way ahead, as an existence that had spent countless years under the Eternal Hope Abyss, it was all too familiar with the Eternal Hope Abyss, that is.
……
“Ning Daojun?” An abrupt voice called out to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense had long since swept over and the person who had come over was an acquaintance, Mu Zuo Yi.
Mu Zuo Yi, as the leader of the Taiyi Dan Association, was the number one powerhouse in Taiyi alchemy. He was also the initiator of the Five Realms Dan Meeting, so Ning Cheng was still familiar with him.
Compared to his master, Ao Beijiang, Mu Zuo Yi’s character was much better.
“So it’s Guild Master Mu, I haven’t seen him for many years, congratulations to Guild Master Mu for taking his strength to the next level.” Ning Cheng stopped and cupped his fist to Mu Zuo Yi.
Back then, when he saw Mu Zuo Yi, Mu Zuo Yi was still half a step into Hedao, at this moment, Mu Zuo Yi was already at the peak of the early stage of Hedao and was about to cross into the middle stage of Hedao. It was evident that not only had Mu Zuo Yi had opportunities over the years, but he was also giving his all in his cultivation.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Mu Zuo Zuoren’s mouth, “I thought I had gotten some opportunities at Jiaquan Mountain and my cultivation speed was considered fast. Now when compared to Brother Ning, I realise that this little achievement of mine is nothing at all.”
Only then did Ning Cheng realise that Mu Zuo Yi had also obtained some opportunities at the Jia Quantum Mountain, and in his heart he wanted to go to the Eternal Hope Abyss even sooner.
At this time, there were more and more powerful people coming to Calvary Mountain, and as the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was open to the public, powerful people from all walks of life naturally knew that there were good things to be found here.
“I even went to the Tai Su Realm once before to look for Daoist Ning, only to fail to find him, which is why I had no choice but to come to Mount Jiaquan to continue improving my strength.” Seeing that Ning Cheng had no intention of speaking more, Mu Zuo Yi hurriedly said.
Ning Cheng asked in a puzzled manner, “I wonder what it is that Club Master Mu is looking for me?”
He and Mu Zuo Yi could only be said to know each other, and their friendship and all that was very average.
Mu Zuo Yi hurriedly said, “Does Daoist Lord Ning still remember the underground abyss of Taiyi? The Ten Demons of the Abyss were sealed under the Temple of the Scorched Tree God by Daoist Lord Ning back then.”
Ning Cheng nodded, “I remember, could it be that there was a problem with that seal?”
Even if Mu Zuo Yi did not say anything, Ning Cheng still planned to make a trip to the Tai Yi Realm, he was going to search for Shi Qiong Hua and bring her back to the Tai Su Realm. At the beginning, he was not strong enough and did not talk much. After he had comprehended the Darkness Rule, his strength had also come to the peak of the late stage of Hedao. Ordinary third-step powerhouses were nothing in his eyes. He believed that he had the ability to help Shi Qionghua cross over to the third step and succeed in realm creation.
What’s more, the second Gate of Creation was about to open, and Ning Cheng did not want Shi Qiong Hua to suffer any harm because he was not with him.
Mu Zuo Yi said gruffly, “That’s right, it is that seal that has loosened a little, and I went to look for the Daoist Monarch because I wanted to reinforce the seal once more.”
Ning Cheng immediately frowned, and with a slight pause he inquired, “How long can that seal still support?”
Mu Zuo Yi replied, “According to my estimation, about a hundred years at most, and after a hundred years, that seal will definitely be cracked open. With the current strength of the Taiyi Realm, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to suppress the Ten Demons of the Abyss ……”
Ning Cheng understood Mu Zuo Yi’s words, after more than ten thousand years, the Ten Devils of the Abyss were definitely stronger.
Ning Cheng relaxed slightly in his heart, “Guild Master Mu, I’m going to Calvary Mountain for some matters, I’ll be back in a few years at most. When I return, I will immediately go to the Taiyi Realm. As for that Abyssal Demon, there is no need to continue suppressing it ……”
“Ah ……” Mu Zuo Yi looked at Ning Cheng in astonishment and uncertainty.
Ning Cheng patted Mu Zuo Yi’s shoulder, “I will go and exterminate it once and for all.”
Whether it was his status or strength, Ning Cheng would not look abrupt when he patted Mu Zuo Yi’s shoulder right now. Moreover, when Ning Cheng said that he would exterminate it all at once, he was not talking wildly. With his current strength, if he wanted to exterminate the underground devils in one go, he wouldn’t even need anyone’s help. Unless a strong person like Xing Xi came out of the underground devils, but this was highly unlikely. In the unlikely event that one did come out, the big deal was that he would just continue to seal it.
Looking at Ning Cheng’s back as he led one person and a bull into the Jiaquan Mountain in an instant, it took Mu Zuo Yi half a long time to come back to his senses. Thinking about how Ning Cheng’s strength could be compared to that of the Holy Dao Sect’s Patriarch back then, he suddenly gained some more confidence. He had to know that his nominal master, Ao Beijiang, could not even block one slash of the Sacred Dao Sect Patriarch.
……
The Eternal Hope Abyss, this was the second time Ning Cheng had entered. The first time he had come in unintentionally, and only left here later on the strength of his perception of the Sunset Twilight divine Abyss in the Sea of Twilight, plus the deal with Wang.
This time when he came back here, it was so much easier than the first time.
Back then, under the Eternal Hope Abyss, the raging aura had made him only able to temper his divine sense. Then through the divine Sense Explosion divine ability, he was able to open up a space for his body to exist.
Now that his domain protected Chasing Ox, it was easy to be under the Eternal Hope Abyss. The berserk aura of the Eternal Hope Abyss was even stronger than it was back then, and Ning Cheng’s divine sense was still able to sweep out with ease.
With Ning Cheng’s current strength, his divine sense was barely different from outside in the Eternal Hope Abyss. Even so, he was still unable to sweep out to the deepest part of the Eternal Hope Abyss.
There was one thing that Ning Cheng believed in Wang, the further down his divine sense went, the more he could feel the traces of the collapse of space. This meant that Wang was not lying, I was afraid that at the bottom of the Eternal Hope Abyss, there had been a collapse of the void.
“You lead the way, I’ll follow behind.” Ning Cheng gave a greeting to Lookout.
“Yes, Daoist Sovereign Ning.” Wang did not hesitate to vanish down, he could feel that he was being protected by Ning Cheng with his domain around him, once something happened to him, Ning Cheng would definitely come to his aid. It was much safer than when he had come down alone.
The piece of raging space above the Eternal Hope Abyss was something that Wang could control, and his speed in descending and disappearing was extremely swift. After two days, his speed slowed down. Even with the help of Ning Cheng’s domain, he was still advancing extremely arduously.
It was like diving, the further down he went, the greater the pressure of the water.
This was not water, it was a kind of violent rule tearing, and a kind of void collapse, with all kinds of shattering rule auras stirring together, making it more and more difficult for one to advance every little bit.
Initially, Ning Cheng thought that even if it was even more difficult, he would be able to reach the bottom of the Eternal Hope Abyss in a month at most. But after a year of disappearing downwards, the violent aura became increasingly difficult to resist, and Ning Cheng’s divine sense was still unable to sweep to the bottom, Ning Cheng knew that the Eternal Hope Abyss was not as simple as a treasure.
“Even Ji Fengyu didn’t know it was this deep back then, the raging space below this should have appeared after that collapse.” Wang, who was being shielded by Ning Cheng, sensed Ning Cheng’s worry and spoke up in time.
