“What about the Three Realms of Destiny?” Ning Cheng was like a studious student.
Shen Qin Yu answered very patiently as well, “If a Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator can cut away all defilements and succeed in crossing the tribulation, they can achieve Heavenly Position and become a Heavenly Position Realm powerhouse. After breaking the life and death and clarifying the yin and yang, a Heavenly Position realm practitioner can advance to the Life and Death realm. As for the Eternal Realm, I heard that life is eternal and unending. I have not experienced these myself from what I have read elsewhere.”
Shen Qin Yu was so knowledgeable that no matter what questions Ning Cheng asked, she was able to answer them in a way that Ning Cheng could most easily understand. After having a conversation with Shen Qin Yu, Ning Cheng felt that he had benefited greatly.
“Senior Sister Shen, are you also representing the Leland Star River in the competition?” Half a day later, after Ning Cheng had finished asking all the questions he wanted to ask, he took the initiative to change the subject.
It was not the first time he had come into contact with Shen Qin Yu, and in his impression, this woman was somewhat mysterious.
Shen Qingyu smiled, “No, I came to Leland Star River solely to enter the Time Desolate Domain. In fact, there are many cultivators like me this time, coming from other stars. I entered the Time Desolate Domain for two reasons, the most important one being for the Time Eternal Hope Key.”
Such an important matter was casually stated? Ning Cheng looked at Shen Qingyu in amazement.
Shen Qin Yu said calmly, “I am afraid that the Time Eternal Hope Key is the most valuable thing in the Time Desolate Domain, the reason why I told you about it is because the Time Lake exploded and the Time Eternal Hope Key was no longer able to appear. When you were in seclusion, I went to the Eternal Hope Lake once, and that’s how I found out about it.”
“Then what is the value of the Time Eternal Hope Key?” Ning Cheng hurriedly asked, this was what he was most concerned about. The Time Eternal Hope Key was in his ring, yet he surprisingly did not know at all what was so valuable about this item.
Shen Qin Yu shook his head. “I don’t know either. I only know that it was left behind by the Eternal Hope Saint Emperor. Just like the Time Desolate Domain in general, it is also all the stuff of the Yongwang Saint Emperor.”
“The Yongwang Saint Emperor is a powerful person who controls a starry sky, just like the Great Man Lun Emperor?” Ning Cheng asked.
Shen Qin Yu smiled lightly, “Even if Saint Emperor Man Lun cultivated for another million years, he would not be able to be on par with Saint Emperor Yongwang. Even if they are both great emperors, the Man Lun Emperor is still lagging behind. In the vastness of the starry sky, the Man Lun Great Emperor is really nothing. If it weren’t for the scarcity of the Man Lun Starry Sky, the Man Lun Starry Sky of the Man Lun Great Emperor would have changed its name long ago.”
After saying that, Shen Qin Yu stood up. “We will go to the Sea of Twilight now, any more questions, you can ask me on the way.”
“I know that there are many starspaces outside of the Man Lun Starspace, after this selection round comes out, is the final participation in the final going to one of the largest starspaces in the universe?” Ning Cheng still really had many questions, and now that he had caught Shen Qin Yu, it was a waste of time not to ask.
Shen Qingyu was not half impatient, her tone was still soft, “That’s right, the location of this final is called the Great Astral Plane of the Middle Heaven. It’s in the realm where we are. The Midheaven Great Starry Sky is one of the four Great Starry Skies and the central location of the entire Midheaven Realm.”
Ning Cheng and Shen Qin Yu’s location was not very far from the Sea of Twilight. Ning Cheng felt that he hadn’t asked many questions before Shen Qin Yu stopped.
What appeared in front of Ning Cheng was a beautiful world, different from the grey and dull aura of the rest of the world. Ning Cheng was standing here as if he was standing on a seashore where the sun was about to set at sea level, a red evening sun that bridged the distant sea like a rainbow.
The sunset was infinitely beautiful, but it was just near dusk. Such a phrase popped up in Ning Cheng’s mind for no apparent reason, and it was simply too apt to describe this place.
“What a beautiful place. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, it’s just near dusk.” It was only after a long time that Ning Cheng said in awe. When he thought of it, he said it.
“You also know that the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s just near dusk?” Shen Qin Yu looked at Ning Cheng in amazement.
“I have naturally heard of this saying, how do you know?” Ning Cheng was even more puzzled than Shen Qin Yu, of course he knew it, it was a poem by Li Shangyin from the Tang Dynasty, “Not feeling well towards the evening, I drove my car to ascend the ancient plain. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is only near dusk.” What he was puzzled about was how Shen Qingyu could possibly know this line.
Shen Qin Yu explained, “I heard that only when you are personally trapped inside the Sea of Twilight can you understand the meaning of this phrase. But you should not look at the Sea of Twilight as if it were a sunset on the sea, in fact, there is not a single drop of water here, what you see is entirely a combination of the Wheel of Ages and the Wheel of Time. Later we are going to enter this sea of twilight, it is very dangerous in here, if you are not careful you will be swept up by the wheel of time, your years will be gone in an instant and you will never have a chance to live again.”
Ning Cheng frowned slightly when he heard Shen Qin Yu’s explanation. Should he enter the Sea of Twilight? To put it mildly, he already had three Time Stones, was it worth taking the risk?
Shen Qingyu could see Ning Cheng’s thoughts, “As for whether or not to enter this, you think clearly before we go in. Otherwise, once we go in, there is a good chance that we will lose our way and never come out again.”
Ning Cheng, who was still hesitating, suddenly opened up in his heart when he heard Shen Qin Yu’s words. Hadn’t he been looking for opportunities amidst danger all the way here? There were countless cultivators in the vast starry sky, how many opportunities without danger were waiting for him to take?
“Of course go in.” Ning Cheng gave a calm smile. Wealth and danger were just as practical for starry sky cultivators.
“Good, divine sense in the Sea of Twilight can only reach within a three-foot radius, let’s stay close and not get separated.” Shen Qin Yu finished speaking and stepped into the Sea of Twilight first.
Ning Cheng did not hesitate and followed Shen Qingyu and crossed in. He soon discovered that his divine sense was not only within a three feet radius as Shen Qingyu had said, but all of the ten miles radius was in his divine sense.
Although his divine sense was also suppressed, it was however many times stronger than three feet. After Ning Cheng understood this, his heart was greatly assured that his astral sea of consciousness was indeed different from the ordinary.
But then there was an endless vicissitude of years that surrounded him, the feeling of time passing in the Lake of Eternal Hope once again flooded his heart. Ning Cheng’s heart jumped, if this was how it went on, his life span would be depleted before he could find the Twilight Sand.
While Ning Cheng was still thinking nonsense, a small warm and soft hand grabbed his hand, and Shen Qin Yu’s voice came out. “Senior Brother Wanderer. In the Sea of Twilight. You must not stop, you must keep moving so that your life span does not pass away, once you stop in one place, your life span will soon pass away.”
“Thank you.” After Ning Cheng replied with two words, he was about to pull his hand out, but he found that Shen Qin Yu’s hand was still holding his.
At the same time, Shen Qingyu’s voice came again, “Don’t let go of my hand for now. You have not adapted to the Sea of Twilight yet, so once you let go of my hand, we are likely to get lost.”
It was not good for Ning Cheng to tell Shen Qingyu that his divine sense could reach a range of ten miles, so he could only leave it up to Shen Qingyu.
After the two of them had walked in the Sea of Twilight for an hour, Shen Qingyu was about to let go of Ning Cheng’s hand when she heard Ning Cheng say, “There seems to be a time stone up ahead, I feel a kind of passage of time ……”
In fact, Ning Cheng’s divine sense had already seen that one time stone, which was much smaller than the three time stones he had obtained. But Ning Cheng was certain that it must be a time stone without a doubt.
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words. Shen Qin Yu immediately grabbed Ning Cheng’s hand again and said, “Wandering Senior Brother, hurry up and follow the location you feel over there ……”
While her mouth was talking, Shen Qin Yu’s heart was shocked, she could not imagine that Ning Cheng could feel the passage of time of the Time Stone. She had entered the Time Desolate Domain for three years and had also failed to obtain a single Time Stone.
Ning Cheng quickened his pace, and in just a few dozen breaths, he arrived next to this Time Stone. Just as Ning Cheng bent down and was about to pick up the Time Stone, an extreme danger suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, and without even thinking, Ning Cheng immediately took Shen Qin Yu and flew backwards quickly.
“Don’t fly up ……” While Ning Cheng heard Shen Qin Yu’s voice of alarm, he saw a cloud of light explode from the place where he was standing just now. If he had been a little bit late just now, he would have been sneaked up on by this ball of light.
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to say anything, he felt a tearing wound coming from a blade that simply made him unable to resist blasting at his body, followed by a powerful pulling force that rolled over.
“Stinging” Ning Cheng clearly heard the clothes on Shen Qingyu’s body also being torn apart, a faint smell of blood came from him, and the same powerful force was going to roll Shen Qingyu away.
Ning Cheng was shocked, he didn’t know what was going on, he hurriedly brought his hand and tightened Shen Qingyu’s building, trying to land on the ground.
However, the powerful force did not allow Ning Cheng to do so at all, he could only feel the continuous tearing blade mane blasting at his body, and another terrifying force swept him away, he could not even offer his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings. There was nothing he could do to resist that blade mane, and the power that was rolling in, he could not resist either.
Shen Qin Yu’s weak voice came out, “This is the time blade mane and the time vortex, don’t use star elements to resist, not only can you not block it, but it will cause this power to grow bigger and bigger.”
Ning Cheng stopped resisting in time, the furious sweeping power swept Ning Cheng and Shen Qin Yu up, at this moment even Ning Cheng’s divine sense could not be exerted out.
“Boom ……” A huge impact force came from Ning Cheng, and he felt like his entire body was blown apart. However, he knew that at last, he had landed on the ground.
“Finally, I’ve landed, this Sea of Twilight is too terrifying.” Ning Cheng breathed out.
Shen Qin Yu’s trembling voice came out, “We will never be able to get out again.”
“What’s going on?” Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out, only to find that his divine sense had been compressed from a range of ten miles to only about ten feet in circumference.
“This is the deepest part of the Sea of Twilight, no one can come here on their own. The cultivators who could come here were all swept here by the Time Vortex, it is absolutely impossible to get out again ……” In Ning Cheng’s impression, Shen Qin Yu, who had always been relatively calm, was trembling in her speech, which showed her fear of the deepest part of the Sea of Twilight.
Ning Cheng pulled up Shen Qingyu who was sitting on the ground, and looking at her clothed appearance, he said somewhat apologetically, “I’m sorry ah, I didn’t know that you can’t fly up in here.”
Shen Qingyu tore off another strip of cloth from her already torn clothes, and after tying her own wrist, she used the other end to tie Ning Cheng’s wrist, “I can only see around one foot here, and my divine sense can’t be used. If we don’t tie it up, I’m afraid we’ll soon be scattered.”
After saying that, she looked up at Ning Cheng, the fear on her face had disappeared and her tone was no longer trembling from before, “You shouldn’t feel guilty either, I was the one who didn’t make myself clear, and to put it mildly, I was the one who encouraged you to come. In this place, there is no way to get out, two people talking together might make it easier to die.”
