Ning Cheng did not try to snatch the Celestial River Essence Qi King Pill. One reason was that he knew that even if he managed to snatch this King Pill, he would still face a siege. Another reason was that he did not need this King Pill right now. With so many Perpetual Moon Pills in hand, the first thing he wanted to do was to find a place to cultivate.
"Want to leave? I've been waiting for you for a long time. " Ning Cheng was just about to break the array formation sealing the entrance when a sharp voice arrived in his ears. The moment he heard the voice, a black light appeared in front of him without any warning.
Ning Cheng's domain stretched out in an instant, and the black light immediately slowed down under Ning Cheng's domain. Ning Cheng's domain won him the blink of an eye, allowing Ning Cheng to bring out his Nirvana Spear and blow away the black light.
"What a powerful domain ….." The sharp voice exclaimed, and the violent Celestial Essence once again stirred up the surrounding space.
Ning Cheng had just seen the appearance of the cultivator who sneaked up on him when he heard a violent explosion, and everything in front of him turned grey.
The cultivator who sneaked up on him did not continue to attack Ning Cheng. Instead, he grabbed an array disc, and his figure flashed before disappearing from Ning Cheng's sight.
What was the problem? This fellow actually gave up on sneaking up on him and escaped first. He even took away his array disc. Didn't this mean that he did not want to stop the cultivators inside?
Ning Cheng had just thought of this when he felt like he was surrounded by time. His life flowed away like a river without a dam.
"Who broke the Perpetual Moon Fort's Time Wheel? Hurry up, or we'll all die." A shout rang out, and then a ray of light rushed out from Ning Cheng's side.
The reason why Ning Cheng did not rush out immediately was that the moment he felt his life slipping away, his Spiritual Consciousness saw a half-foot-long key.
It was a dark grey key, suspended above the broken Perpetual Moon Pill Lake and slowly becoming clearer. If not for his powerful Spiritual Consciousness, he would not have been able to see this key at all.
This was the Perpetual Moon Time Key. Ruan Mingshu said that the most precious thing in the Perpetual Moon Fort was the Perpetual Moon Time Key. Ning Cheng did not even think about it, and with a wave of the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, he flashed past.
At this moment, all the cultivators rushed out of the Perpetual Moon Fort, except for Ning Cheng.
Some of the cultivators had white hair before they could even reach the entrance. There were even some cultivators whose lifespans ran out midway, falling from the sky and dying on the spot.
The moment Ning Cheng grabbed the Perpetual Moon Time Key, his hair started to turn white. Not waiting for him to wield the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds again, the terrifying flow of time completely surrounded him. At this moment, Ning Cheng knew that if he continued to rush out, he would also die of old age in this short stretch of road.
Ning Cheng did not hesitate, and immediately entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
No matter how terrifying the flow of time was, it could not penetrate into Ning Cheng's Mysterious Yellow Bead. Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness swept out and found that his hair had turned grey, causing him to feel horrified in his heart.
The Laws of Time were simply too terrifying. How long had it been? He had already consumed so much of his lifespan. Desperately trying to obtain this Perpetual Moon Time Key, was it worth it?
Ning Cheng had just entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead when the bottom of the Perpetual Moon Lake collapsed, causing endless explosions to erupt in the centre of the Perpetual Moon Lake.
The entire Perpetual Moon Lake, under the terrifying explosion, turned into dust.
Dozens of cultivators who managed to escape from the bottom of the Perpetual Moon Lake stood by the lakeside and looked at the Perpetual Moon Lake that had completely disappeared. Everyone knew that the cultivators who had not come out were finished. Even if they were not taken away by the terrifying flow of time, the explosions at the bottom of the Perpetual Moon Lake would definitely turn them into ashes. This kind of explosion was mixed with the Laws of Time. Not to mention a Celestial Scryer Cultivator, even if a Celestial River Cultivator came, what could they do?
Ruan Mingshu stood by the lakeside and stared at the disappearing Perpetual Moon Lake. She did not expect that Ning Cheng would end up dying in the Perpetual Moon Lake.
"Junior Apprentice Sister Mingshu, let's go." Zhao Yanxiang came over and interrupted Ruan Mingshu's thoughts.
Ruan Mingshu glanced at Zhao Yanxiang and spoke with a faint voice, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao, the cooperation is over. We no longer have anything to do with each other. Let's go our separate ways, not together."
"That Ning Cheng was too greedy and ended up being taken away by the flow of time. It was something that couldn't be helped. Don't think too much about it. After all, you don't owe him anything." Zhao Yanxiang felt comfortable about Ning Cheng dying in the Perpetual Moon Fort. He had only lost some of his lifespan, and the Perpetual Moon Pills he obtained could easily make up for the lost cultivation.
Ruan Mingshu spoke up calmly, "Whether Senior Apprentice Brother Ning died or not, it has nothing to do with us. Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao, if you don't want others to know about it, then don't do it yourself. You provoked Lou Shao to attack Ning Cheng, I'm not the only one who knows about it. "
After Ruan Mingshu finished, she instantly changed directions and left the Perpetual Moon Lake.
Seeing the explosions at the center of the Perpetual Moon Lake gradually subsiding, several cultivators who were unwilling to leave wanted to go and take a look. However, before they could reach the center of the lake, the terrifying flow of time once again swept away a part of their lifespan.
These cultivators immediately fled, and in just a short time, not a single person could be seen at the edge of the Perpetual Moon Lake.
… …
As Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness swept out, he immediately knew that something had happened to the Perpetual Moon Fort. With the violent explosions raging around, he could not get out at all. What's more, even without these explosions, he could not get out. The terrifying flow of time would take away his lifespan in an instant.
Ning Cheng looked at the Perpetual Moon Time Key in his hand. It was a half-foot-long key with a variety of restrictions engraved all over it. Despite looking at it for a long time, Ning Cheng could not see anything.
Putting the key into his ring, Ning Cheng arranged a Five Elements Array Formation around him. His Mysterious Yellow Bead's Origin was not complete; as such, anything that entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead would turn into nothingness after a long time. The Five Elements Array Formation would also turn into nothingness; however, the things inside the Five Elements Array Formation did not have much of an impact.
Initially, Ning Cheng thought that the flow of time outside would soon dissipate. But after observing it for a few days, Ning Cheng realised that the flow of time outside would not disappear so quickly. Although the explosions outside due to the compression of time had indeed disappeared, the flow of time remained the same. As soon as his Spiritual Consciousness swept out, it immediately disappeared without a trace.
Under this terrifying flow of time, not to mention people, even Spiritual Consciousness could not survive. This rapid flow of time made Ning Cheng afraid to go out. He feared that once he went out, he would immediately be taken away by the flow of time.
At this time, Ning Cheng could only stay inside the Mysterious Yellow Bead and continue to arrange his Five Elements Array Formation. Ten days passed by, one month passed by, three months passed by … …
Ning Cheng slowly calmed down from his anxiety. Instead of waiting anxiously, it was better to arrange the Five Elements Array Formation and study the Dao of Arrays jade strip given to him by Tang Yu.
Another three months passed by, and Ning Cheng's Dao of Arrays advanced from a Grade 1 Celestial Array Master to a Grade 2 Celestial Array Master. However, the flow of time outside still did not stop.
Ning Cheng began to carefully control the movement of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. He believed that under this terrifying flow of time, it was absolutely impossible for any cultivators to come here. Even their Spiritual Consciousness would not be able to sweep in. As long as no cultivators came here, his Mysterious Yellow Bead would not be exposed.
To control the movement of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness had to constantly permeate out. Under this flow of time, Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness would disappear the moment it went out.
Initially, Ning Cheng, in order to protect himself, was very careful when he permeated out his Spiritual Consciousness. However, in the end, Ning Cheng completely ignored this caution and continued to permeate out his Spiritual Consciousness. At this point, he no longer wanted to control the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Instead, under the rapid passage of time, he touched upon a law that could not be expressed in words.
Ning Cheng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He felt sure that this was a feeling brought about by the passage of time. He knew that even Eternal-level experts might not be able to comprehend the Laws of Time. Moreover, the Laws of Time were far stronger than ordinary laws. He had never expected himself to comprehend the Laws of Time. But now that he could touch the surface of this law, he felt very satisfied.
Even if his Spiritual Consciousness was consumed, even if his lifespan was reduced, this touch would bring him immeasurable benefits in the future.
Not knowing for how long, Ning Cheng's perception came to an abrupt halt. His Spiritual Consciousness fell outside the Mysterious Yellow Bead and no longer felt the flow of time. Ning Cheng's eyes showed extreme disappointment. He knew that this was not because he had comprehended the Laws of Time, but because the flow of time outside had finally stopped.
Ning Cheng came out of the Mysterious Yellow Bead and swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness to the surrounding ruins. This place seemed like an ordinary place, and he was just buried in this ordinary ground.
The Perpetual Moon Fort had disappeared, and the Perpetual Moon Lake had disappeared. He had no idea where the Celestial River Essence Qi King Pill went, or perhaps someone had taken it away.
This was not a place to stay for a long time; he had to leave as soon as possible. Ning Cheng had just thought of this when his Spiritual Consciousness stopped once again. His Spiritual Consciousness once again found something that allowed him to touch upon time. It was not a kind of passage of time, but a kind of stone.
Three dark-grey stones appeared in the range of his Spiritual Consciousness, not far from him. Ning Cheng immediately rushed over and grabbed the three stones in his hand. The feeling of the passage of time, or perhaps the vicissitudes of life, once again touched him.
These must be Time Stones. Ning Cheng's heart started to beat wildly. He quickly took out three empty jade boxes and put the three Time Stones inside.
Time Stones were extremely precious. Ning Cheng had entered the Time Wilderness for three years, but this was the first time he saw a Time Stone. After Ning Cheng put away the three Time Stones, his Spiritual Consciousness once again started searching around. To his regret, his luck seemed to have run out, as he could not find a single Time Stone in this place.
Since the passage of time had disappeared, sooner or later, someone would find this place. Ning Cheng came out of the ground and quickly rushed out, quickly disappearing from the outside of the Perpetual Moon Lake.
Half a month later, Ning Cheng stopped in a barren gravel field. He put on the middle-grade Dao Artefact mask and once again transformed into a bearded starry skies' wanderer. The original Ning Cheng had already died in the Perpetual Moon Fort. Even if he wanted to appear again, he would need to change his identity; otherwise, it would bring him endless troubles.
After changing his appearance, Ning Cheng was about to dig an immortal cave and try out the effects of the Perpetual Moon Pill when his Spiritual Consciousness unexpectedly found Shen Qinyu. However, Shen Qinyu's situation was obviously not good. She was lying on a stone, gasping for breath, while her body was covered in blood.
