Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out and found that there was indeed no eighty-first floor up there, and there was no telling where he would go after going up into the void. Ning Cheng still wanted to enter the Immortal Jade Star, so naturally he did not want to enter the void.
However, Ning Cheng soon understood that he had to go up. He had searched for a day on the eightieth floor of the earth, and apart from going up, there was no exit from this eightieth floor.
Ning Cheng did not want to be teleported above the square, so he could only fly up and rush up.
As Ning Cheng’s feet hit the ground, the void that he had swept with his divine sense earlier disappeared. The entrance at the back was also gone, and he was still in a tower level.
Ning Cheng froze, could it be that there was something wrong with his divine sense? What he had just swept with his divine sense was clearly a void, but why was he still in a tower level when he came up? Coming up from the eightieth floor, it was obvious that this was the eightieth floor. His divine sense had not swept to the eighty-first floor, but when he actually came up, he was at the eighty-first floor, what was going on?
This layer was likewise devoid of any attacks or any abnormalities. A dozen steps in front of Ning Cheng, there was only a tower door. Above the tower door was written, Entrance to the eighty-first floor of the Stargazing Tower.
Ning Cheng looked around in puzzlement, there was no way out of this place either, except for a door marked with the entrance to the eighty-first floor.
Ning Cheng walked a few steps faster, he wanted to go over and open the tower door of this eighty-first floor entrance and then enter the real eighty-first floor.
But something even stranger happened, no matter how many steps he took and how fast he went, the distance between him and that eighty-first floor entrance tower door still did not change.
It was clearly only a distance of a dozen steps, but Ning Cheng had run thousands of steps forward. Looking further ahead, that distance was still a dozen steps.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank as he stirred up his star energy and his entire body flew up. When he landed, that eighty-first floor entrance was still in front of him.
If this continued, he would never be able to walk to the entrance of the eighty-first floor. Ning Cheng stopped and did not continue with this useless effort. At this moment, he felt like a monkey, as if he had landed in someone else’s palm and could never jump out again.
This feeling was very bad and made Ning Cheng feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
Ning Cheng had been standing in place for a full hour, and he looked at the eighty-first floor entrance tower door that was not far ahead, silent. He had tried walking slowly, walking fast, flying and teleportation, but he just could not advance half a step.
He suddenly understood why his divine sense had seen this place as a void before, the void was endless, or he was in it without knowing it. The space at the tower level was small, the void space was large, and between large and small, who could define it? He held his Xuanhuang pearl in his hand, only a little bit, but inside it were thousands of worlds.
It seemed that he was only a dozen steps away from the tower door on the eighty-first floor, who knew if there were countless empty spaces in between? He had not yet comprehended the laws of space, which meant that he would never be able to push open the door to the eighty-first floor until he comprehended the laws of space. For the rest of his life, as long as he could not comprehend the spatial laws, then he would have to stay here in this place.
Ning Cheng sucked in a breath, he absolutely could not stay here.
He had not comprehended the Spatial Law, but he had comprehended some skin of the Time Law. He had comprehended it in the Returning Path he had comprehended earlier, where all things returned to one. Wind and clouds could coalesce into a thunderstorm, or an icy mountain could transform into a sea of fire. Here it looked like only a dozen steps away, he could not use the Space Law to cross over, so why could he not try the skin of the Time Law?
Ning Cheng was a person who did what he thought of, and just as he thought of the Time Law, the Sunset Twilight divine Ability had already been sacrificed.
The moment the Sunset Twilight divine Ability was sacrificed, everything around him seemed to stop, everything turned into a sculpture, and in this instant, there was only one master of this side of space, and that was Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng lifted his foot and took a step forward, the Dusk Avatar disappeared and the flow around him resumed once again. Ning Cheng looked at the eighty-first floor tower door that he could push open with his hand, and his heart was incomparably calm.
He had tried countless times before to take a step forward, and after he sacrificed the Sunset Twilight, he had only used one step to reach the entrance to the eighty-first floor.
This was the law between heaven and earth, and he had only just touched the skin of some of the laws of time. In the future, if he was to achieve the Great Divine Power and cross the Great World, he would have to master all the laws of heaven and earth.
Ning Cheng did not rush to push open the entrance to the eighty-first level, as he stood here, he found that his divine sense could now completely sweep across the entire Midheaven Plaza. At this time there were more cultivators in the Midheaven Plaza than he had expected, densely packed, almost filling the plaza.
As one of the ten largest squares in Zuotian Star City, Zhongtian Square was naturally incomparably large, and for such a huge square to be filled with people, it was clear how many people were here at this time.
While Ning Cheng was secretly shocked in his heart, he was also glad that he had not been teleported out. With so many people here, of course there were many people watching, and there were definitely many who were interested in him as well.
Perhaps he was the first person to push open the door to the eighty-first floor of the Stargazing Tower. Ning Cheng stood for a long time before he calmed himself down and pushed open the door to the entrance of the eighty-first floor.
What was in front of Ning Cheng was not the real eighty-first floor, but an abrupt ladder. The steps extended right out from beneath him, all the way to the exit of the bottom level, which was edged by the hazy fog of the Star Peeping Tower.
The entrance to the eighty-first floor was actually a staircase leading to the bottom floor, and Ning Cheng stood at the top of the staircase, shocked in his heart. I was afraid that apart from him, no one knew that the eighty-first floor was merely a ladder, a ladder that led to the bottom floor.
Because there were so many people in the square, some cultivators were already standing at the edge of the fog. Ning Cheng’s divine sense could see that some people only needed to take a few steps back and they would be close to this ladder. He was sure that he would just go down like this and then slowly melt into these cultivators standing in the square and no one would know. At this time everyone’s attention was on the Star Peeping Tower and the ranking display, so who would care if there was suddenly another person in the crowd?
Ning Cheng’s divine sense continued to sweep out, and he quickly found the person he was looking for. The female cultivator who looked like Shi Qiong Hua was also in the square, and was standing right in the middle of the crowd, seemingly talking to the female cultivator beside her about something. Ning Cheng, who had originally planned to just go down, immediately removed his masked magic treasure and hurriedly rushed down from the eighty-first floor.
With a ready-made ladder, Ning Cheng emerged from the bottom level of the Star Peeping Tower in a short time and blended into the crowd at the edge of the fog. Just as Ning Cheng had guessed, none of them knew that Ning Cheng had already come down and even entered the square.
……
“No, that Jiangzhou wanderer seemed to have stopped when he reached the eightieth floor.”
“And what’s so strange about that? He’s been on the ground floor for eight or nine days before. This time ah how much time, maybe after some more time, he’ll be on the eightieth floor.”
“I’m afraid not, look at all the time that has disappeared behind there.”
“Huh, it’s really like that …… ah, entering the eighth layer, really entering the eighth layer ……,” the cultivator exclaimed halfway through his sentence.
No one would care about his shriek at this time, all of them were staring at the Star Peeping Tower ranking screen, after the name Jiangzhou Wanderer, which was indeed the eighty-first layer.
“That’s right, it’s true that you’ve entered the eighty-first floor, but there’s still no time behind it ……”
After Ning Cheng entered the eighty-first layer, the entire square was abuzz with excitement. No matter what, everyone was marveling at the fact that someone had finally stepped onto the top floor of the Star Peeping Tower. This was a milestone event for the Great Starry Sky of the Middle Heaven, and nothing could be more sensational than this event.
Even the great emperors of the Great Starry Sky of the Middle Heaven had never entered the eighty-first floor when they were stargazing.
“But why is there no time behind him? It is reasonable to say that as long as he is not transported out and stays in the Star Peeping Tower, time will keep on jumping. Could it be that he fell?”
“How could he have fallen if he could ascend to the eighty-first floor?”
Countless people were cheering, while others were in awe. Behind the Jiangzhou Wanderer was the eighty-first floor, but there was no more time jumping behind it. To be precise, there was not even a time display behind it.
“His name went up some more.”
With a startled cry, all the people noticed that the distance between the first place Jiangzhou Wanderer’s name and the second place Lingxiao Sect’s Xiao Yu’s name on the ranking screen had pulled apart, and the Jiangzhou Wanderer’s name had changed from light gold to purple-gold, and the font had become several times larger.
From a distance, the words Jiangzhou Wanderer were dazzling.
Ning Cheng was just as shocked as he was standing behind the crowd. As he was standing at the entrance of the eighty-first floor, his divine sense could sweep through the entire square, so of course he knew what was going on.
When he pushed open the door of the eighty-first floor tower and walked down the steps, the ranking screen still had the eightieth floor after his name. Once he came out of the ladder, stepped out into the mist and blended into the crowd in the square, the tower level behind his name changed to the eighty-first level. Not only that, but the time after his name also disappeared.
Did this not mean that the tower door for the eighty-first floor was on the Star Peeping Tower, and only after opening this tower door and exiting the Star Peeping Tower would one be considered to have truly stepped onto the eighty-first floor.
If that was the case, I was afraid that no one in this square other than him would know that everyone was standing on top of the eighty-first floor. What he had more than anyone else was just a process of climbing up to the eighty-first floor.
A process? Ning Cheng once again looked at the excited crowd around him and suddenly had an epiphany in his heart.
The truth was that many people were standing in the same position and living the same. But some people cherished it, while others were complaining. The one who cherished it was because he had created this position with his own hard work, and the wealth he possessed was not this position, but this process, just as he had worked so hard to climb from the first level to the eighty-first level.
However, Ning Cheng quickly cast these distracting thoughts aside and hurriedly squeezed towards Shi Qionghua, who was in his eyes.
