It was only after entering the Eternal Night One Line Gorge that Ning Cheng knew that the legend Song Chengbo had spoken of was not nonsense. If there was no way to use divine sense and star elements here, one would definitely be squeezed in here and unable to move.
He had been sprinting through the Eternal Night One Line Gorge for a whole month and still could not see his head. Not only that, there were also constant spatial blades and spatial storms blowing through here. If it was a normal place, with normal astral energy and divine sense, these blades and storms could be avoided.
But this was not a normal place, and Ning Cheng’s astral divine sense had only been released about thirty feet after a month. Because his divine sense was severely suppressed, Ning Cheng became more and more afraid of Duan Gantai in his heart. Duan Gantai seemed to be more at ease than him, so it was evident that this fellow’s divine sense here would not be worse than his, and possibly a little more powerful.
Facing the spatial blades and storms in the First Line Gorge, an ordinary Heavenly Realm cultivator would be seriously injured even if he could use his divine sense and astral energy to walk in this place for a long time. Ning Cheng watched Duan Gantai based on his tethered divine silk, yet he did not look half injured. It was evident that either Duan Gantai was a body refining cultivator, or he had a set of methods to protect himself from injury.
The One-Line Gorge was like a bottomless pit, long and boundless. Even though Ning Cheng could cultivate and rush at the same time, he did not dare to do so in this One-Line Gorge. Not only was it because he had not crossed the One-Line Gorge, but another was that there was a time bomb beside him, Duan Gantai.
If he hadn’t known from Song Chengbo’s mouth a long time ago that the Eternal Night One-Line Gorge could indeed be left, at this time Ning Cheng would have thought that the One-Line Gorge was a trap set by Duan Gantai.
Another half year passed, and Ning Cheng still had not crossed the First Line Gorge. Ning Cheng also sighed in his heart, it was a pity that he had not completely refined the Starry Sky Wheel. If he had completely refined the Starry Sky Wheel, he would have been able to make the Starry Sky Wheel transform into a specific shape and then control the Starry Sky Wheel to cross the One-Line Gorge.
The only thing that was fortunate was that Ning Cheng’s divine sense could now sweep out to a range of almost a hundred feet. This place was dangerous, but it was not useless, at least it could temper one’s divine sense.
Because Ning Cheng’s divine sense had been in a concentrated state and could also stretch out to a hundred feet, a sudden spatial dislocation was caught by his divine sense. If he rushed past it the way he was now, he would definitely be torn in half by this spatial misalignment. Not to mention that he was an astral body, even if he was an astral body, I was afraid that he would not be able to stop this spatial dislocation.
In his haste, Ning Cheng did not care about any thoughts and forcibly twisted his body, avoiding the spatial dislocation in a split second.
Despite avoiding the spatial dislocation, Ning Cheng was still scared and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he could release his divine sense to about a hundred feet, otherwise he would never have been able to avoid it just now. Ning Cheng subconsciously slowed down his speed, with his original speed, it would be dangerous in case he encountered a spatial dislocation again.
At the same time, he was even more cautious about Duan Gantai, this guy had clearly dodged the spatial dislocation just now, but he didn’t even give him a warning in advance, obviously he wanted to see him being torn in half by the spatial dislocation.
Ning Cheng was sure that once he was torn apart by the spatial dislocation, Duan Gantai would be the first to turn around and finish him off.
Ning Cheng did not care about Duan Gantai not greeting him in advance. If he had been in front, he would not have greeted Duan Gantai just the same. What Ning Cheng cared about was how Duan Gantai could still advance with such swift speed at this speed?
If it wasn’t that Duan Gantai’s divine sense could extend further than his here, then it was that Duan Gantai had once crossed this line of gorge and knew where there was a spatial dislocation.
As soon as Ning Cheng’s speed slowed down, Duan Gantai sighed in his heart. This Ning Cheng was definitely the number one enemy in his life, he had crossed the First Line Gorge once before, so he knew where there were spatial misalignments. And with Ning Cheng following him at such a speed, that spatial misalignment was still dodged by Ning Cheng just now, so it was clear how strong Ning Cheng was.
Knowing that Ning Cheng was cautious and that the spatial misalignment behind him was no longer a threat to Ning Cheng, Duan Gantai simply lowered his speed as well.
Two more months later, Ning Cheng’s surroundings were empty, and then a spatial wind blade blasted over. Ning Cheng’s divine sense was also relieved as a large area of empty space around him was reflected in his divine sense.
Ning Cheng’s heart was overjoyed, he had definitely left the First Line Gorge.
“Brother Ning really impresses me, I have met several dangers along the way and almost fell. Yet Brother Ning crossed the Eternal Night One-Line Gorge with ease.” Duan Gantai’s voice came from afar as he had long since exited the swarm of spatial wind blades.
Ning Cheng’s body stretched and he too quickly left this spatial storm and arrived not far from Duan Gantai. With a smile, he said, “I was lucky, otherwise, that spatial dislocation in front of me would have cost me half my life, and by then, with a little more help from Brother Duan, I guess I wouldn’t have been able to go to the Time Hall.”
Duan Gantai heard Ning Cheng’s sneer and gave a dry laugh, “Brother Ning, how about we hurry to the Xuanhuang Starland to prepare ourselves and then go to the Time Hall?”
Ning Cheng casually said, “Brother Duan is familiar with this place, and since Brother Duan is the landlord, of course everything will be Duan’s main priority.”
“Then little brother will lead the way first.” Duan Gantai smiled heatedly and sacrificed a top grade Dao weapon airship, swiftly going far away.
Ning Cheng did not take out the Starry Sky Wheel this time, but merely sacrificed a medium grade Dao Artifact airship and followed.
A month later, standing on the deck of the Dao Artifact Airship, Ning Cheng could already see a patch of starry sky. Although he was still not sure if this was the realm of the Great Central Heaven Starry Sky, Ning Cheng knew that he was really leaving that gap between the realm and the interface.
Another month later, a huge star continent appeared in front of Ning Cheng. Compared to the Eternal Night Domain, this star continent was the real star continent. The entire star continent was by no means the grey colour of the Eternal Night Domain, but carried layers of greenery.
“Brother Ning, this is the Xuanhuang Star Continent, it is a separate star continent and comes separately from other star continents, let me take you to get a star continent’s identity plate.”
Duan Gantai’s words made Ning Cheng understand that this fellow had definitely been to the Xuanhuang Star Continent.
……
The Xuanhuang Star Continent was basically similar to other star lands in terms of processing identity jade cards, there was not much difference. Just as Ning Cheng had expected, Duan Gantai did not need to apply for an identity plate at all and entered the Xuanhuang Star Continent directly together with Ning Cheng.
“Brother Ning, I’ve been to the Xuanhuang Star Continent before, there are six of the most powerful forces in the Xuanhuang Star Continent, called one, two and three associations.” Duan Gantai did explain to Ning Cheng very carefully.
Ning Cheng hurriedly said, “I would also like to ask Brother Duan for advice.”
Duan Gantai revealed a slightly self-satisfied expression, “The one family is the Immutable Dao Sect, and the two families are the Tie Family and Shui Family of Moyi City. The three associations are the Xiang Yi Chamber of Commerce, the Xuan Huang Chamber of Commerce and the Casual Society. Moyi City is just like the Eternal Night City in the Eternal Night Domain, and has an overwhelmingly high status in the entire Xuanhuang Star Continent, and the one we’re going to now is Moyi Star City.”
Speaking here, Duan Gantai deliberately paused and asked, “Brother Ning, do you know what the most famous thing in the Xuanhuang Star Continent is?”
Ning Cheng shook his head, “I don’t know, please enlighten me, Brother Duan.”
Duan Gantai smiled and said, “Even if I don’t tell you, you will know immediately once you arrive at Moi City. In the entire Xuanhuang Star Continent, the most famous thing is a kind of wine, and this wine is called Mo Siang Yi.”
Ning Cheng froze, he could not have imagined that the Mo Xiang Yi wine was produced from the Xuanhuang Star Continent. However, he was immediately surprised, this meant that he had once again returned to this realm of the Great Central Sky. As long as he spent more time, he could return to the Great Astral Plane of the Middle Heavens and meet Concubine Luo and Qiong Hua.
Duan Gantai did not pay attention to Ning Cheng’s expression and still said to himself, “Mo Xiang Yi is the number one treasure of the Xiang Yi Chamber of Commerce, all the Mo Xiang Yi wine in the starry sky is sold by the Xiang Yi Chamber of Commerce. However, this kind of wine is very rare, and ordinary people cannot buy it at all. However, if Brother Ning wants it, I can buy some for you.”
“Is Brother Duan the one who went out from the Xuanhuang Star Continent?” Ning Cheng asked carelessly, his heart very much concerned with this answer. If Duan Gantai had gone out from the Xuanhuang Star Continent, then he would have to be a little more careful. This was Duan Gantai’s lair, it would be strange if he had good results following Duan Gantai.
Duan Gantai waved his hand, “I’m not from the Xuanhuang Star Continent, I once lived in the Xuanhuang Star Continent for a while, and I also have some relations with the Shui Family of Moyi City. For some reason, the elders of the Shui Family once promised me that as long as I could advance to the Heavenly Rank, I would marry the first flower of the Shui Family, Shui Wushang, to me, on the condition that I would join the Shui Family.”
Ning Cheng was filled with black lines, how come this Duan surname was dabbling in flowers everywhere? No, I should say how come he was going around with superfluous activities?
Seeing Ning Cheng’s frown, Duan Gantai hurriedly said, “Brother Ning don’t worry too much, the Shui Family is upright and is completely different from the Sui Family. It will definitely not make moves to covet things from you and me.”
Ning Cheng smiled and nodded, but he was disdainful in his heart. It wouldn’t make such a move because people didn’t know what you had on you, right? He was sure that Duan Gantai had treasures on his body, and as for what treasures, if Duan Gantai himself did not divulge them, no one would know about them.
While the two of them were talking, Duan Gantai had landed outside of a huge city. The city was wrapped in a haze formation, as if it was suspended in the clouds, beautiful beyond compare.
Above the city were written the three big words ‘Moi City’, and on the side of the formation on the city wall was an incomparably huge stone tablet with twelve words engraved on it, “Always leave each other, never abandon your heart; look at the distant stars, never rely on each other!”
“Huh, Senior Shui has advanced to the Eternal Realm.” Duan Gantai spoke in amazement.
Ning Cheng also saw that on the other side of the city gate stood a huge coloured banner, which read, “Congratulations to Senior Shui Guangxi of Moyi City for opening up to Eternity and achieving the Supreme Dao. Fellow Daoists from all parts of the Xuanhuang Star Continent, come to the main hall of the Shui Family to congratulate the Eternal Star Emperor Shui Guangxi! To celebrate the great ceremony!”
“Brother Ning, Senior Shui Guangxi has attained the Eternal Realm, I must go to congratulate him, will Brother Ning go there together? I suggest that Brother Ning go over together, there will be no mistake about it.” Duan Gantai then said once more.
“Good, then I will go with Brother Duan to meet the world.” Ning Cheng said with a smile.
