Ning Cheng did not go to grab the Star River Yuan Qi Dan King, one was that he knew that even if he grabbed this Dan King, he would still face being besieged. Another, was that he simply could not use the Dan King right now. Having obtained so many Eternal Hope Pills, the first thing he would do was to find a place to cultivate.
“Want to leave? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Ning Cheng had just wanted to blast through the formation that sealed the entrance when a shrill voice came to his ears, and at the same time he heard the voice, a dark light arrived in front of his eyes without warning.
Ning Cheng’s domain instantly stretched out, and the dark light was slowed down by the rush of Ning Cheng’s domain. The domain fought for this blink of an eye, and Ning Cheng had already sacrificed his Nirvana Gun and blasted the dark light away completely.
“What a powerful domain ……,” the shrill voice exclaimed, as the raging astral energy once again drummed up in the space around it.
Ning Cheng had just gotten a clear look at the appearance of the cultivator who had sneaked up on him when he heard a violent explosion coming from him, and then it turned completely grey in front of him.
The cultivator who had attacked him surprisingly stopped making moves against Ning Cheng and instead grabbed a formation plate, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared from Ning Cheng’s sight.
What was the problem? This fellow had actually given up on his sneak attack and instead grabbed the first step to escape, even taking his array disk, did this mean that he was not blocking the cultivators in here?
Ning Cheng had just thought of this when he felt as if he was surrounded by a kind of time, his life was like a river lacking an embankment, rapidly %one%book%reading% flowing away.
“Who broke the Wheel of Time in the Winged Hope Fortress, move quickly or all will die.” A shouting voice rang out, followed by a ray of light rushing out from around Ning Cheng.
The reason why Ning Cheng did not immediately rush out was because the moment he felt the loss of life. His divine sense saw a half-foot long key.
It was a dark grey key. It was suspended above the crumbling Yongwang Dan Lake. It was slowly becoming clear. If not for his powerful divine sense, he would not have been able to see this key at all.
This was the Time Eternal Hope Key, Ruan Mingshu said that the most precious thing in the Eternal Hope Fortress was actually the Time Eternal Hope Key, Ning Cheng barely even thought about it and flashed past it with a wave of his Heavenly Cloud wings.
At this moment, all the cultivators rushed towards the outside of the Eternal Hope Fort, only Ning Cheng rushed towards the inside instead.
Some cultivators had white hair before they could rush to where the entrance was. There were even some cultivators. Directly in the middle of the journey, their longevity was consumed and they fell down in the air, falling on the spot.
The moment Ning Cheng grabbed the Time Eternal Hope Key, his hair had already started to turn white. Without waiting for him to swing his Heavenly Cloud wings again, the terrifying passage of years completely surrounded him, and at this moment Ning Cheng knew that if he continued to rush out, he would likewise only die of old age in this short section of the path.
Ning Cheng did not hesitate and immediately entered the Xuanhuang Pearl.
No matter how terrifying the passage of years was, it would not be able to penetrate Ning Cheng’s Xuanhuang Pearl, and Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept into his own hair that had turned grey and white. His heart was horrified.
The time rule was simply too terrifying, it had only been so long. He had already consumed so much of his life span. Was it a good deal or not to fight tooth and nail to get this Time Eternal Hope Key?
Ning Cheng had just entered the Xuanhuang Pearl when the bottom of this Eternal Hope Lake collapsed, and endless explosions burst up in the centre of the Eternal Hope Lake.
The entire Lake of Eternal Hope was reduced to pieces by this feared explosion.
Dozens of cultivators who had escaped from the bottom of the Lake of Eternal Hope stood at the edge of the lake and looked in shock at the completely vanished Lake of Eternal Hope. All of them knew that the cultivators who had not yet come out were finished, even if they were not taken away by that terrifying passage of time, they would still be turned into flying dust by this kind of explosion at the bottom of the Lake of Eternal Hope. This kind of explosion was an explosion intermingled with the rules of time, not to mention a stargazing cultivator, even if a cultivator from the Star River realm came, what would happen?
Ruan Mingshu stood at the edge of the lake and stared dumbly at the disappearing Yongwang Lake, she did not expect that in the end Ning Cheng would still give up his life at Yongwang Lake.
“Senior sister Ningshu, let’s go.” Zhaoyan Xiang walked over and interrupted Ruan Mingshu’s contemplation.
Ruan Mingshu glanced at Zhaoyan Xiang and said indifferently, “Senior Brother Zhaoyan, the cooperation has ended, we have no more involvement, it is us going our own way, not us.”
“That Ning Cheng was too greedy and was taken away by the Flowing Light Years, it was something that could not be helped, you shouldn’t think too much about it, after all, you don’t owe him anything.” Zhaoyan Xiang was relieved that Ning Cheng had fallen in the Eternal Hope Fortress, what he had lost was just some longevity, the Eternal Hope Pill he had obtained was perfectly capable of cultivating back what he had lost.
Ruan Mingshu said calmly, “Whether Senior Brother Ning fell or not has nothing to do with us going together. Senior Brother Zhaoge, there are some things that if you want others to be unaware of, you should not do them yourself. I’m not the only one who knows that you picked Lou Shao to lay hands on Ning Cheng.”
After Ruan Mingshu finished speaking, she instantly changed direction and left Yongwang Lake.
Seeing the explosion at the center of Yongwang Lake gradually subsiding, several unwilling cultivators wanted to take another look, only before they could reach the location where the center of the lake was located, that terrifying passage of years swept away some of their longevity once again.
Frightened, these cultivators fled far away and in a short time, there was no longer a single figure at the edge of Yongwang Lake.
……
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out and he knew that something had changed at the Yongwang Fort, violent explosions were raging around him and he simply could not get out. What’s more, even without these explosions, he wouldn’t be able to get out. That terrifying passage of time would have taken away his longevity in an instant.
Ning Cheng looked at the Time Eternal Hope Key in his hand, it was a key that was half a foot long and had various prohibitions engraved all over its entire body. Despite looking at it for half a day, Ning Cheng could not make out a single thing.
Putting the key away in his ring, Ning Cheng arranged a Five Elements Formation around it. His Xuanhuang Pearl’s origin was not flush, and anything that entered the Xuanhuang Pearl would turn into nothingness after a long time. The Five Elements Formation would turn into nothingness just as well, but the things in the Five Elements Formation would not have much effect.
Originally, Ning Cheng thought that the passage of time outside would soon dissipate, but after observing it for a few consecutive days, Ning Cheng knew that the passage of time outside would not disappear so quickly. It was true that the explosion outside due to the time squeeze was gone, but that time passing remained the same. As soon as his divine sense swept out, it immediately disappeared without a trace.
Under such a terrifying passage of time, not to mention people, even divine sense could not survive. This rapid passage of time made Ning Cheng not dare to go out, he was afraid that as soon as he went out, he would immediately be taken away by this passage of time.
At this moment, Ning Cheng could only stay in the Xuanhuang Pearl and keep setting up his Five Elemental Formations. Ten days passed, a month passed, three months passed ……
Ning Cheng slowly calmed down from his anxiety, instead of waiting anxiously like this, he should take the opportunity to set up his Five Elements Formation and study the Dao of Formation jade slip that Tang Yu had given him.
Another three months passed, Ning Cheng’s formation dao had advanced from a level one star formation master to a level two star formation master, but the passage of time outside still did not stop.
Ning Cheng began to control the Xuanhuang Pearl to move carefully, he believed that under this terrifying passage of time, it was absolutely impossible for there to be any cultivators who could come here, and even his divine sense could not sweep in. As long as no cultivators came over, his Xuanhuang Pearl would not be exposed.
To control the movement of the Xuanhuang Pearl, his divine sense would have to keep penetrating out. In this passage of time, Ning Cheng’s divine sense disappeared when he went out.
Originally, Ning Cheng was still very careful when his divine sense penetrated out in order to protect himself, and he retracted it as soon as it went out. But at the back, Ning Cheng completely ignored this caution and unrelentingly penetrated his divine sense out. At this moment, he had long since stopped trying to control the Xuanhuang Pearl, and he had touched a rule that simply could not be expressed in words in this rapid passage of time.
Ning Cheng strongly suppressed the ecstasy within him, he was sure that this was a feeling brought about by the passage of time. He knew that even an expert of the Eternal Realm might not be able to perceive the rules of time, as the rules of time were far stronger than ordinary rules. He did not expect to perceive the time rules himself, and now that he could touch the skin of such rules, he was very content.
Even if his divine sense was depleted further and his life span was reduced, the benefits of such a touch to him in the future would be immeasurable.
It was not known how long had passed when Ning Cheng’s perception instantly came to a halt and his divine sense fell outside the Xuanhuang Pearl, no longer being taken away by the passage of time. Ning Cheng’s eyes showed extreme disappointment, he knew that it was not that he had sensed the rules of time, but that the passage of time outside had finally stopped.
Ning Cheng came out of the Xuanhuang Pearl and swept his divine sense to the ruins around him. This place was like an ordinary place, he was just buried underground in this ordinary place.
The Yongwang Fort was gone, and the Yongwang Lake was missing. That Star River Yuan Qi Dan King had also gone somewhere, or was snatched away by someone.
This was not a place to stay for long, one had to leave as soon as possible, Ning Cheng had just thought of this when his divine sense paused once again. His divine sense swept again to the kind of thing that allowed him to touch time, it was not a passing, but a stone.
Three dark grey stones appeared in his divine sense, not far from him. Ning Cheng immediately rushed over and grabbed these three stones in his hands. That feeling of time passing, or that there was a kind of age and vicissitudes was once again touched by him.
This was definitely a time stone, Ning Cheng’s heart thumped up, and he quickly took out three empty jade boxes and put the three time stones inside.
Time Stones were incredibly precious, he had entered the Time Desolate Domain for three years, and this was the first time he had seen Time Stones. After Ning Cheng put away the three Time Stones, his divine sense even searched around. To his regret, his luck seemed to have run out, and he had not seen a single Time Stone here.
Sooner or later, someone would come looking for them as the passage of time had disappeared here. Ning Cheng vanish out of the ground and quickly rushed out, quickly disappearing outside of the Yongwang Lake.
Half a month later, Ning Cheng stopped in a barren field of rubble. He put on the mask of that medium-grade dao artifact and once again transformed into a bearded starry sky wanderer. The original Ning Cheng had died in the Winged Hope Fortress, so he would need to change his identity even if he were to reappear, otherwise there would be endless consequences.
After disguising himself, Ning Cheng was about to dig a cave and try out the effects of the Eternal Hope Pill when his divine sense unexpectedly swept up Shen Qingyu. However, Shen Qin Yu’s situation was obviously not good, she was lying on a rock and gasping for breath, while her body was already stained with blood.
