Ning Cheng’s divine sense landed in his ring, and when he found that he could still take out the contents, he was finally relieved that at least he could still cultivate in it…?
Shen Qingyu’s divine sense should have been completely bound, and it was estimated that the ring could not even be opened. Ning Cheng was about to tell Shen Qingyu that he could take out what was in the ring, when Shen Qingyu said once again, “In the deepest part of the Sea of Twilight, time keeps passing, even walking around won’t help. With our lifespan, we can only live for ten years at most, and the depths of the Sea of Twilight are boundless, even if we keep walking now, after ten years, we will still be here.”
Ning Cheng fell silent, he did feel the passing of his lifespan. No matter if he could use his divine sense or not, as long as his was in here, he wouldn’t be able to live.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng sighed and said, “I still have a small world, let’s enter it and think of something else.”
Shen Qin Yu shook his head, “It’s useless, unless the rules of your small world are higher than the rules of the Sea of Twilight, time will pass just the same inside your small world, it won’t slow down just because you have entered it. What’s more, without divine sense, it is impossible to enter the small world.”
“There is really no way to get out by entering the depths of the Sea of Twilight?” Ning Cheng’s face turned ugly.
Shen Qin Yu said calmly, “Not only is there no way to get out, but I have heard that the loss of life span in the Sea of Twilight cannot be recovered. In other places in the Time Desolate Domain, the loss of lifespan would result in an aged appearance, and this aging could perhaps be cultivated back through cultivation enhancement methods.
But in the Sea of Twilight, if you lose your life expectancy, it will be difficult to get your old face back. Even a cultivation boost can only increase one’s lifespan. And the lost face will be lost forever ……”
“Ah ……” Ning Cheng froze in his tracks. According to Shen Qin Yu’s statement. Even if he went out one day, he would still be an old man with white hair. How could he go and stay with Shi Qionghua and Luo Fei?
Not caring about Ning Cheng’s bewilderment, Shen Qin Yu herself sighed as a trace of despondency appeared in her eyes. She had never thought at all that the peerless face she had been hiding would slowly grow old alone in the Sea of Twilight.
She thought of Xiao Yu, who had been madly pursuing her, the only senior brother in her heart that had some affection for the opposite sex.
In the Great Starry Sky of the Middle Heavens, the Spiritual Sky Sect was just as top-tier a sect. It belonged to a star level sect. In the Spiritual Sky Sect, only disciples who could carry on the mantle of the sect could have the word Xiao in their names. And Xiao Yu was clearly the pride of the Spiritual Sky Sect, having cultivated to the Star Bridge realm at less than a hundred years old.
Shen Qin Yu looked at Ning Cheng beside her and felt a little lost in her heart. Ning Cheng was a star wanderer of sorts, a star wanderer with principles. If Ning Cheng was replaced by Xiao Yu now, with only ten years of life expectancy, how would he treat himself ……
“Do you have a favorite person?” Shen Qin Yu interrupted Ning Cheng’s daze.
Ning Cheng gave a hmmm, “Yes, I have two wives. I was thinking, if I get old one day. What would happen when I go out and see them?”
Shen Qin Yu obviously did not expect Ning Cheng to have two wives, she froze for a while before asking in confusion, “Don’t all star wanderers travel alone? Why do they still have wives?”
In Ning Cheng’s mind, the skilful and peerless nature of Shi Qiong Hua came to mind, and then the gentle and serene nature of Ji Luofei came to mind. In comparison, Luo Fei was a little more outgoing than Qiong Hua.
“I had two wives before I entered the Starry Sky, or rather, when I was in the Lower Level Cultivation Continent.” Ning Cheng’s tone was no longer as impatient as before, he believed that Little Chase could escape, even if it was just a Yuan Shen, he still had a way. When the time came, he asked Little Chaser about it in detail.
No matter what, he would have to walk out. If Shen Qingyu was unwilling, he himself would have to find a way to walk out after Shen Qingyu had found a place to settle down.
Seeing Ning Cheng fall silent again, Shen Qin Yu suddenly said, “I heard that there is a kind of ice marrow called Morning Glory in the depths of the Twilight Sea, and a single drop of this ice marrow can restore one’s original appearance. It’s just that the value of this kind of thing is even higher than the Twilight Sand, and anyway, I’ve only heard about it, and no one has ever seen it.”
“Morning Glory Ice Marrow ……” Ning Cheng asked after muttering and repeating, “The phrase I said before, ‘The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s just near dusk’. And where have you heard this phrase from?”
Shen Qin Yu shook her head, “It’s not that I’ve heard of it, but everyone who knows about the Sea of Twilight has heard of it. I heard that only when one reaches the Sea of Twilight can one truly understand the meaning of this saying. Now that we have not only reached the Sea of Twilight, but even reached the deepest part of the Sea of Twilight, we still don’t know what this saying means, so it looks like the rumours sometimes don’t seem to be true.”
Ning Cheng did not say anything, he was wondering if there was such a coincidence. People from both worlds remembered this phrase, and then people here used it in the Twilight Sea.
“You shouldn’t think too much about it, we have a limited lifespan, let’s walk around here for a while and take our chances. If after a few years, we really can’t find the exit, I plan to find a place to just wait quietly like this.” Shen Qin Yu’s tone was even calmer, obviously resigned to her fate long ago.
Ning Cheng nodded, he did not refute Shen Qin Yu’s words, but for him to find a place to wait for death, that was absolutely impossible.
“Actually, I also come from the Great Midheaven Star, and I am much luckier than you. I have a life and death realm master, and a perfect family ……”
Shen Qin Yu and Ning Cheng walked along while talking about her origins. Ning Cheng just listened quietly, he did not ask any questions, nor did he take the initiative to tell Shen Qin Yu about himself.
A day passed like this, two days, three days, and a month passed like this ……
Shen Qin Yu had long since stopped narrating, and she suddenly felt that she was somewhat verbose; the words she had said in her entire life combined were not as much as she had said in this month. Under these circumstances, it seemed that the only way she could forget that she was trapped in the Sea of Twilight was by talking non-stop.
The second and third months also passed, passing as Ning Cheng and Shen Qin Yu kept walking, as their lifespans flew by.
From the second month onwards, Shen Qingyu did not say another word, and Ning Cheng likewise did not say another word, the two of them just kept walking. Shen Qingyu’s eyes were getting more and more tired, and her whole body seemed to be getting more and more haggard and depressed, and her bare white skin had also turned dark black from walking for months in the depths of the Twilight Sea.
In the first three months, Shen Qingyu had occasionally looked at Ning Cheng, but by the fourth month, she had even closed her eyes.
Ning Cheng had been in silence, for four consecutive months he was unceasingly pouncing on the lost years outside with his divine sense, he wanted to catch the glimmer of epiphany that he had not caught in the Lake of Eternal Hope, and also wanted to find a way out.
But after four months had passed, his divine sense had extended from the initial ten feet square to twenty feet square, and he still hadn’t sensed that lost age again.
When the fifth month was about to pass, Shen Qin Yu stopped. There was no end to this path, whether one walked or did not walk.
Originally, Ning Cheng had been walking at the same pace as Shen Qingyu, which allowed Ning Cheng’s contemplation and perception to be in the midst of this same speed. As soon as Shen Qingyu stopped and pulled the sash in his hand, Ning Cheng awoke with a start. Only then did he stop and subconsciously asked, “Why aren’t you walking?”
“You are a silent person, I have never walked with someone like this for almost five months without stopping and not saying anything. I’m sorry, I can’t walk with you anymore, I just can’t walk anymore.” Shen Qin Yu’s tone was a little dry, so it was evident that she was not lying, she indeed could not walk anymore.
Ning Cheng secretly said that he had been careless, Shen Qin Yu had no divine sense and her star energy loss was obviously countless times greater than his. After walking like this for five months, there was no need to ask, it was to the extreme, he was a little apologetic.
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to speak, Shen Qin Yu suddenly removed the mask from her face, “We are also considered friends, we should at least let you see my true face. You can continue walking alone the rest of the way, I’ll stay here and wait quietly.”
Ning Cheng, who originally wanted to speak, stared blankly at Shen Qin Yu’s face, he had really never seen such a perfect face before.
The eyes that could only be considered pretty before became vivid when placed on this face, even that extreme tiredness and despondency could not hide these eyes that were like two clear springs. Slightly pale lips, together with these eyes, made her already captivating face even more indescribable.
Her dishevelled hair and the clothes that hung on her body as if they were rags not only did not detract from her beauty, but also accentuated an aura of unparalleled beauty.
Anyone who sees this face will also forget to observe everything around them; it is simply a masterpiece in the starry universe, a landscape painting, the most beautiful song.
Ning Cheng’s gaze gradually wandered away as Luo Fei and Qiong Hua emerged before his eyes. One was the most beautiful seen before his eyes, the other was the most beautiful in his heart, that wandering gradually gathered in his mind, making him desperately want to return to Qiong Hua and Luo Fei.
Shen Qingyu did not care about Ning Cheng’s gaze; any man who saw her appearance for the first time would have developed a sense of awe. She herself admitted that in this world, she had not seen a second woman who was more beautiful than her.
However, she soon saw the wandering of Ning Cheng’s gaze, how could someone else look at herself and think of another woman?
Shen Qin Yu smiled faintly, if she could, she really wanted to meet the woman that Ning Cheng thought of. When this thought came out of her, she suddenly shook her head, if it was before, she would never have ventured out with such a thought.
“I thought too much, I actually wanted to show you my appearance before we parted, if it was in the past, I wouldn’t even dare to imagine that this was true.” Shen Qingyu’s voice was still incredibly dry.
She was thanking Ning Cheng for saving her once, which was why she had allowed Ning Cheng to look at her appearance. There was naturally a sense of self-pity in this, that she was going to fall in the Sea of Twilight with a strange star wanderer.
