Ning Cheng stood still as he held Yu Qing’s icy cold body, he had thought that it was possible that Yu Qing had fallen in the Time Desolate Domain, but he had not thought that it would be like this. She had not even reached that split canyon at the beginning before she had fallen in the Ice Crystal Forest.
No matter what he thought, Yu Qing had fallen because of him. He could no longer erase Yu Qing’s shadow from his memory. He had never seen a woman so persistent, with pure eyes that could not seep a speck of dust into them.
Perhaps she had fallen in love with the wanderer because she felt indebted to him, or perhaps it was really as she had said, after entering the Time Wasteland.
I wonder how she survived that last period when she fell into this ice cave alone? Was it the coldness of the ice that kept her company, or was it the longing for the wanderer?
Thinking of Yu Qing alone here, carving ice walls and ice statues for him, Ning Cheng moistened his eyes for the first time for a woman he was not familiar with before. Perhaps there was nothing he had done wrong to Yu Qing, he just couldn’t get rid of that feeling of guilt and sadness in his heart.
He was about to stand at the top of the starry sky, and he was about to become one of the strongest people in this side of the universe. He still had seven emotions and six desires, and he still could not look at life and death with equanimity. No matter what position he stood in, he was still a mortal’s heart after all.
A lightning bolt passed through his mind and Ning Cheng’s heart seemed to have gained another kind of enlightenment. It was just that the enlightenment passed in an instant and he had no way of catching it.
“Yu Qing, I ……” Ning Cheng lowered his head. Two drops of tears fell on Yu Qing’s body. He finally could not sway the feelings in his heart. This had nothing to do with love. It was something that could not be expressed in words. Was it sentimentality, lingering, reluctance? Or maybe it was none of these, but a seed that was beginning to germinate. It was a seed that began to sprout,
A faint light flashed past, and Ning Cheng looked at Yu Qing, who was being held in his hands, in shock. After his two drops of tears fell on Yu Qing’s body, Yu Qing’s body actually faded away.
This was a forbidden art, Ning Cheng understood it clearly. This forbidden art was cast by the deceased before his body, once the deceased’s body was touched, some hidden star elements within his body would burn his body into nothingness.
At first glance, Ning Cheng saw Yu Qing’s remains. Under the stirring of his mind, he had unexpectedly failed to notice the kind of hidden star elements that Yu Qing had concealed in his own body.
In just a few breaths of time, Yu Qing’s body dissipated into nothingness, leaving behind only a set of green-coloured dresses.
Ning Cheng looked at the green dress he was holding in his hands in a daze, and an endless emptiness flooded his heart. He did not try to stop Yu Qing’s nirvana, it was her choice. He believed that Yu Qing did not want anyone to stop her nirvana either.
Before this moment, there was the thought that perhaps one day he could find Yu Qing’s soul, just like the one he still hadn’t saved, Mu Hanrui. As soon as he found Yu Qing’s soul, he must find a way to help Yu Qing come to life.
This thought was still lingering in his mind. Yu Qing had already nirvanaed his own body.
A purple half-moon shaped jade talisman landed in Ning Cheng’s palm, and Ning Cheng’s divine sense trembled as it landed on top of the purple moon shaped jade talisman. On the surface of the purple moon-shaped jade talisman were some faint inscriptions engraved:
“I want to stay here with the Wanderer forever. I really don’t want anyone to disturb me, but unfortunately, I was disturbed after all. My body can no longer be touched by others, after touching it I will nirvana into nothingness. I don’t blame you, you were unintentional.
If you are willing, please help me deliver this half-moon jade talisman to the hands of my mother Shen Mengyan in Yu’s Corner City in the Central Heavenly Star Continent, my mother will definitely be grateful, and if you have any requests, just ask Yu’s Corner City, they will meet you. The word Yu Qing.”
Ning Cheng let out a long sigh, Yu Qing should have used the last bit of her life to restore her appearance to its most beautiful. She had even turned her white hair black as well, perhaps for the sake of the trace of persistence in her heart.
He let Yu Qing fall here, and then let Yu Qing nirvana into nothingness. The unbearable feeling in his heart could not be expressed in words at all.
Only after a long time did Ning Cheng take out a jade box and put the jade talisman in it, and then placed this set of Yu Qing’s green-coloured dress in another jade box and put a ban on it.
After doing this, Ning Cheng’s mood was as bad as it could be.
It was not until three days later that Ning Cheng began to set up the formation. He wanted to take all of this canyon into his True Spirit World and bring it out of the Time Desolate Domain. Every piece of ice wall here was a precious thing to him. At the same time, he was going to completely seal off this piece of land, so that no one would ever come in this place again.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level was still a little too weak, otherwise, he would have wanted to take even the Time Desolate Domain away.
Several more days passed and this ice valley was swept up by Ning Cheng’s formation and had the appearance of a long ice vein being dragged by Ning Cheng.
The entire ice crystal forest erupted with a roaring sound as Ning Cheng sent this ice valley, which had ten ice walls, all into the True Spirit World.
Even though his cultivation level was suppressed, his formation dao level was still there and his strong physical body was still there. What other star gathering cultivators were unable to accomplish would not be very difficult for him.
The roaring sound was continuous and spread out more and more. Even after Ning Cheng had sent all of this ice valley away, the entire Ice Crystal Canyon began to roar.
The clicking and rumbling sounds stretched out beneath his feet, as if the entire ground would explode.
Ning Cheng flew down above the ice crystal forest and he saw that indeed the entire ice crystal forest was cracking, which was obviously caused by him pumping away a large area of ice valley just now.
The more Ning Cheng looked at it, the more frightened he was, perhaps in a little while, this ice crystal forest would completely collapse.
He suddenly remembered the Ladder of Life, that was another thing that Yu Qing had left behind. In case the collapse here swept through on a large scale, perhaps even that ladder would be destroyed. Thinking of this, Ning Cheng hurriedly left this ice crystal forest and wanted to rush into the middle of the glacial canyon that had split open in front of the transmission array. He wanted to send that ladder of life into the True Spirit World through the formation as well, just like before.
When Ning Cheng arrived at the place where he had fallen, the previously split glacial canyon had already disappeared. In front of him, there was only a transmission formation.
Ning Cheng deliberately walked to the place that had cracked open. He stepped on it with his foot. It seemed to be empty. Yet there was no more than half a crack. When his divine sense penetrated down, he couldn’t even reach much deeper, and the ice rock beneath his feet was incredibly thick.
Ning Cheng was a little worried that if he forced himself to blast away this ice rock, it would cause the same kind of collapse as the ice crystal forest. By then, the ice steps that he and Yu Qing had carved down would really disappear.
Even when he was separated from Yu Qing, Ning Cheng had not thought about what was going to happen between him and Yu Qing in the future. After experiencing these things. When Yu Qing completely disappeared, Ning Cheng had more of a feeling of sadness in his heart. He did not want what Yu Qing had left behind to disappear.
Right now he was not capable of taking that ladder of life, in the future when he was capable, he would definitely come here to take that ladder of life.
The rumbling sound behind him gradually subsided, and when Ning Cheng looked back again, he was shocked to find that the whole ice crystal forest had not collapsed, but instead, an incomparably wide sloping passage had appeared above the ice crystal forest, which was all made up of pure ice.
Inside this passage, an aura of vicissitudes permeates one after another. There was also the incomparable aura of time.
Ning Cheng landed on this inclined ice crystal passage and swept his divine expression in. Inside was a blanket of white. Even at the end where his divine sense could reach, it was still white.
No matter if there was any danger inside, Ning Cheng did not think much about it and went straight in quickly along this tilted down passage.
This inclined ice stairway was very long, and unlike other passages, the further down it went, the wider this passage became.
The icy cold on both sides of the passage seeped through one after another, like waves in the ocean, constantly pounding on Ning Cheng’s body.
Ning Cheng’s powerful body refinement body did not even need to run his astral elements to resist, as these icy cold hit his body and dissipated without a trace.
Half an hour later, Ning Cheng came to a halt. The inclined passage came to an end, and in front of him was a huge ice crystal gate.
Ning Cheng had rarely seen a triangular shaped gate, and he saw it today. Not only was this gate triangular in shape, but it was also a different colour on the three corners.
The top one corner was grey, the left changing one was black and the right one was white.
On each corner was a large keyhole, and these three keyholes gave off an aura of age that made people shudder.
“The Hall of Time?” Ning Cheng looked at this triangular gate and spoke out to himself in shock, he was certain that this was the Hall of Time. There were three keyholes, black, white and grey, and they also emitted aura after aura of age, what was this if not the Hall of Time?
Ning Cheng had just uttered the words Time Hall when three words faintly appeared in the middle of the triangular gate, and yes, it was the Time Hall.
The gate of the Hall of Time was actually under the Ice Crystal Forest in the Sea of Twilight, something Ning Cheng had definitely not expected. He thought that the Hall of Time was just a place in the Time Desolate Domain, just like the Fort of Eternal Hope.
According to the distance he had just walked, and the direction he was walking, plus this Time Hall’s gate. Ning Cheng deduced that the real main hall of the Time Hall should be under the endless ice crystal flat river.
There were time wheels everywhere above the ice crystal flat river, so if the range of divine sense was too small or if he did not have any divine sense, he would not be able to stay much longer on the ice crystal flat river, let alone open the ice crystal flat river to look for the Time Hall underneath the time wheels.
The Time Hall was found, unfortunately he only had two keys, how could he enter the Time Hall? Ning Cheng looked carefully around the Time Hall’s gate again and was sure that there were no prohibitions here. Could he not use the keys? After hesitating for a while, Ning Cheng decided to give it a try by force? After all, this was only a solid ice crystal gate, and there were no formations. If it didn’t work, he had nothing to lose.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng directly sacrificed his Nirvana Gun, aimed it at the Time Hall’s gate and blasted down with a single shot.
