As soon as the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds came to a stop, the endless starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats swarmed over, instantly filling up the space around Ning Cheng without leaving a single gap.
Ning Cheng could be considered as someone who had seen a lot of big scenes. But with so many starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats crowding over, coupled with the ear-piercing grinding sounds, it still made his scalp tingle.
Most of these starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats did not have high levels, with the lowest among them only equivalent to cultivators in the Soul Essence Realm. However, some of the higher-ranked Spirit Devouring Rats had already surpassed the starry skies' cultivators in the Celestial Scryer Realm.
In such a dense space, not to mention about teleporting, even using the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds would be difficult for Ning Cheng. His teleportation was made use of the instantaneous speed of the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, not the true teleportation of the Spacial Transformation. If it was a true Instant Teleportation, he could ignore these starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats. But there was nothing he could do about it.
Previously, there were gaps between the Space Spirit Devouring Rats, but now, as soon as he landed in the starry sky, so many Spirit Devouring Rats swarmed over, trapping him in the blink of an eye. There was no gap, so how could he use his speed to rush out?
Ning Cheng no longer hid his Celestial River Flame, and the Celestial River Flame turned into a flaming spear and shot out. The blinding purple colour exploded around Ning Cheng, and the terrifying temperature instantly turned countless starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats into ashes. A gap then appeared in front of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng stimulated the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, and once again landed in the middle of the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats' encirclement.
Ning Cheng decided not to take back his Celestial River Flame. The Celestial River Flame condensed into a long spear and shot towards the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats.
All kinds of ear-piercing screams and the aura of burning flames filled the surroundings. The starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rat's fur was glossy and seemed to be extremely fire-attracting. Under the Celestial River Flames, it could not resist at all.
The Celestial River Flame condensed into a long spear and quickly extended out like a sharp plough. A gap appeared in front of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng no longer brought out the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds. Instead, he crazily stimulated the Celestial River Flame and flew out along the path of the flame.
Ning Cheng had no idea how many starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats he killed along the way. However, these starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats couldn't even count as a strand of hair when compared to the entire rat tide.
The Celestial River Flame was indeed fierce, but if Ning Cheng used the Celestial River Flame like this, it would consume a lot of energy. In just half a day's time, Ning Cheng felt extremely tired.
At this moment, he felt an incomparably powerful aura locking onto him.
This was a high-level starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rat, at least equivalent to someone in the Celestial Bridge Realm. At this time, the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats in front of Ning Cheng had already loosened up and were no longer as dense as before. Ning Cheng did not care about his exhaustion, under the stimulation of the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, he immediately left behind a faint afterimage, before he instantly disappeared.
After activating the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, Ning Cheng found that he was still surrounded by a swarm of starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats, but it was a bit more sparse.
At this time, there was only one thought in Ning Cheng's mind, escape.
After the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds upgraded to four pairs of glowing lights, the speed at which he could teleport was several times faster than before. Ning Cheng once again crazily wielded the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds. After another half a day passed by, Ning Cheng could no longer wield it. At this moment, there was not a single starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rat around him. At this moment, the powerful aura surrounding him had completely disappeared.
Ning Cheng stopped and took a few deep breaths. He couldn't help but think that this starry skies' beast tide was just too terrifying. Previously, Lan Ya and Shi Yulan had said that they wanted to become starry skies' wanderers, which meant that they were putting their lives on the line to gain experience. However, everyone's path was their own choice, and he did not want to interfere with others.
Ning Cheng then took out the knock-off Celestial River-class Battleship and called out Lan Ya and Shi Yulan.
"Did they really escape?" Lan Ya looked at the vast starry skies around them, where was the last of the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats?
Ning Cheng gave a weary reply, "Yes, they escaped. I'm going in to rest. This battleship has the coordinates of the Striking Order Starry Skies. Senior Apprentice Sister Lan, you and Junior Apprentice Sister Yulan can help control it. "
"Ning Cheng, you can go in and rest. Leave it to me." Lan Ya spoke with gratitude. This life-saving grace could not be expressed with just words.
… …
Ning Cheng entered the battleship's cabin to rest, while Lan Ya and Shi Yulan's hearts surged like a tide. The two controlled the Celestial River-class Battleship for a few days, but could not calm down completely.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Lan, what are you thinking about?" Shi Yulan on seeing Lan Ya's hesitant expression finally could not help but ask.
Lan Ya did not answer Shi Yulan's words. Instead, she looked at Shi Yulan and asked, "Junior Apprentice Sister Yulan, what are you thinking about?"
Shi Yulan lowered her head and shook her head after a long time, "I don't know."
"Junior Apprentice Sister Yulan, I don't want to go to the Time Wilderness. My cultivation is still too low. If I go in, I might end up dragging Ning Cheng down. I have already steeled my heart to become a starry skies' wanderer. Once we get close to the Ran Qiang Star, I will say goodbye to Ning Cheng. "Lan Ya looked at the distant starry skies outside the Celestial River-class Battleship. Although her tone was gentle, it was also unusually calm.
The Ran Qiang Star was a planet within the Man Lun Starry Skies, close to the Man Lun Star Land.
Contrary to Lan Ya's expectations, Shi Yulan did not feel surprised. She also stared at the vast starry skies for a long time before speaking up, "Senior Apprentice Sister Lan, even if you did not say it, I was going to say it. Our cultivation and strength are too far apart compared to those powerful Celestial Scryer Cultivators. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning saved me several times; I can't rely on him for a lifetime. "
Lan Ya showed a slight smile, "Junior Apprentice Sister Yulan, I should be the one saying those words. I was just about to tell you that after I leave, you should continue to stay by Ning Cheng's side. "
Shi Yulan showed a faint smile before shaking her head, "Senior Apprentice Sister Lan, I already have a man I like, and I can never forget his appearance. Every time I close my eyes, it feels as if I am leaning on him, and no one can replace him. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning is a good person; however, he is not mine, and I can't be with him. "
"Is it that starry skies' wanderer?" Lan Ya stared into Shi Yulan's eyes and asked.
Shi Yulan's face showed a slight blush before she gave a gentle nod, "Yes, I like him. If I can be with him, wander the starry skies, depend on each other … Then I can give birth to a child for him, we can roam the starry skies together, together …. "
As Shi Yulan spoke until here, her tone turned even softer, turning incomparably gentle. Her originally beautiful face, because of this gentle yearning, turned even more beautiful. Even Lan Ya felt a little stunned by this scene.
Lan Ya held Shi Yulan's hand and looked at Shi Yulan before speaking, "Junior Apprentice Sister Yulan, I know that you already know that the starry skies' wanderer is Ning Cheng. Ever since the Orchid Borough Celestial River's 9-Step Obscure Array Tournament, we all knew about it; however, we did not say it out loud. Now that I'm leaving, you should stay with Ning Cheng. He is not a heartless cultivator, you ….. "
Without waiting for Lan Ya to finish, Shi Yulan waved her hand and interrupted Lan Ya's words, "Senior Apprentice Sister Lan, I know. I do know that Senior Apprentice Brother Ning is that starry skies' wanderer, but he cannot replace the starry skies' wanderer in my heart. He is Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, which is different. Maybe you don't understand, but I understand it in my heart, I understand it very well ….. "
Lan Ya looked at Shi Yulan in a daze. She finally understood what was going on. Shi Yulan liked the starry skies' wanderer in her heart, not the Ning Cheng standing in front of her. It was the longing in her heart, not the person she could find.
"I understand ….." Lan Ya put her arm around Shi Yulan's shoulder and spoke with difficulty.
Shi Yulan burst into tears, but after a while, she still shook her head and spoke, "Elder Sister Lan Ya, you don't understand."
Lan Ya felt shocked in her heart. At this moment, she truly understood Shi Yulan's thoughts. She gave out a sigh and pulled Shi Yulan, who was still crying, into her arms and whispered, "Junior Apprentice Sister Yulan, come with me to the starry skies. We can find what we are looking for there."
Shi Yulan's crying slowly stopped. She walked to the deck of the Celestial River Battleship and looked at the vast starry skies. Suddenly, she softly sang, "The vast starry skies, Vines in the East, Yellow Birds, No Mulberry Trees in the Middle; Twinkling Stars, I do not follow ….."
The song spread out and permeated through the vast starry skies before leaving behind only a faint ending.
Ning Cheng had already fully recovered. His starry skies' Sea of Consciousness was extremely powerful, allowing him to use the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds to teleport at such a high intensity.
Just as he was about to come out, he heard Shi Yulan's voice. He immediately stopped. Shi Yulan's voice had seeped into his bones. Even Ning Cheng had to admit that he had never heard such a beautiful voice before.
However, the meaning of the lyrics was slightly melancholic, roughly speaking, "In the vast starry skies, I'm like a vine without roots, spreading through the starry skies without any direction. Also like a tired oriole crying in the starry skies, unable to find a mulberry tree to perch on. A star starts to shine in the starry skies, but I know that it is not the place I want to go ….. "
