The powerful chill made her feel her body quickly turn cold. Even if her Celestial Essence continued to circulate within her body, it could not drive away this cold. This cold even froze her Spiritual Consciousness, not to mention continuing to walk. Shen Qinyu felt sure that if she did not retreat, she would turn into an icicle in the next moment.
Ning Cheng's Sea of Consciousness was a starry skies' Sea of Consciousness. Yet, circulating his Celestial Essence to its fullest extent was already unbearable. How could he not understand Shen Qinyu's suffering? It was not that Shen Qinyu did not want to speak, but that she could not speak at all. Ning Cheng took a step to the side and directly placed Shen Qinyu on his back. The Celestial River Flame fused with his Celestial Essence, and his surroundings immediately erupted with crackling sounds.
This sound felt as if the Celestial River Flame's Celestial Essence had melted the surrounding ice-cold space, giving off a cracking sound.
Shen Qinyu felt a burst of warmth radiating from Ning Cheng's back, which quickly drove away the coldness in her body. It felt as if she had found a place to bask in the sun on a cold winter's day. This kind of warmth was something that could not be described with words.
At this moment, she finally understood why the Sea of Twilight looked for people with flames to cooperate with. It turned out to be because of this place.
This Wanderer's Celestial Essence could actually resist the cold in this place. Maybe he also had a flame.
While Shen Qinyu was lost in her thoughts, Ning Cheng's figure had already unfolded and was moving faster and faster.
Half a day later, Ning Cheng stopped outside a huge round altar.
"A Transfer Array?" Shen Qinyu also saw the thing on the round altar and exclaimed in shock. She then spoke with even more certainty, "Yes, that's a Transfer Array. It must be a Transfer Array."
Ning Cheng nodded, "It's a Transfer Array. Sure enough, we can teleport out of this place."
"Then, should we leave now?" Shen Qinyu asked eagerly.
If she had the ability to survive, she might have wanted to search for the Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence in this place to see if the legend was true. However, she was now completely dependent on Wanderer carrying her. Without Wanderer, she would have died a long time ago.
After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and spoke up again, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wanderer, I'll keep your Time Stone for you. I'll give it to you after we get out. I'm sure that Striking Order Heavenly Emperor would not notice it."
Ning Cheng was just about to speak when a violent force swept over. Like a huge tornado, it swept him up. Ning Cheng, who was caught in this terrifying tornado, unexpectedly did not have even half a shred of resistance.
Boom … Kacha …
A violent rumble resounded from the bottom of his feet, and a several-feet-wide glacial canyon appeared outside the round altar with the teleportation formation.
The violent rotational force directly wrapped around Ning Cheng, and pulled him into this glacial canyon.
Ning Cheng did not have much time to think about it. Grabbing Shen Qinyu on his back, he stimulated his Celestial Essence and threw her out. At the same time, he crazily stimulated the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds. In this place, he had such an experience. It was the same logic when he fell into that deep well. The only difference was that the deep well before was a kind of suction force that pulled him down, but here, it was a kind of whirlpool that pushed him in from the outside.
Although Shen Qinyu was thrown out by Ning Cheng, she did not feel any resentment or sense of loss in her heart. On the contrary, her mind flashed with the scene of Wanderer carrying her on his back. Wanderer had carried her on his back as he walked through the depths of the Sea of Twilight for a few years.
She had not even had the time to repay his kindness. But then she showed a self-deprecating smile. Everyone was selfish, not to mention that she and Wanderer were not even familiar with each other. This starry skies' Wanderer was many times better than most of the people she had met in the past. Although in such a desperate situation, she did not blame him for throwing her away. She and this person did not know each other, yet he had already paid enough.
"Bang" Shen Qinyu's feet landed on the ground. What happened? When Shen Qinyu looked around, she found that she was standing in the centre of the teleportation formation, not in the depths of the glacial canyon as she had imagined.
At this moment, she understood that Wanderer had not thrown her away casually like she had thought. Instead, he wanted her to enter the teleportation formation first.
At this moment, she only needed to take out a few starry skies' crystals and put them into the groove of the teleportation formation to teleport away. No matter where she teleported to, it would be much better than falling into the unfathomable glacial canyon.
Shen Qinyu touched the groove of the teleportation formation in a daze, forgetting to take out the starry skies' crystals.
She was an open-minded and rational person. Besides letting a stranger see her face in a situation where she knew she would die, she rarely did anything irrational. Even when she was caught by Ning Cheng without wearing any clothes, she did not show any anger on her face. Instead, she calmly asked why.
Since birth, she had always done everything in an orderly manner. She would never do something she did not want to do because of impulsiveness. Impulsiveness would never belong to her.
But now, Wanderer had thrown her into the teleportation formation after falling into the glacial canyon. At this moment, she felt an additional thing in her heart, that is, impulsiveness. She even wanted to enter the bottom of the valley to see if something had happened to Wanderer.
Shen Qinyu carefully walked out of the teleportation formation, and the icy cold assaulted her, causing her to subconsciously shiver once again. However, she quickly felt that the icy cold here was not as horrifying as when she first came in. At least with the circulation of Celestial Essence, she would be safe and sound.
Giving out a slight sigh of relief, Shen Qinyu walked to the edge of the cracked glacial canyon. She could not even see the end of the canyon with her eyes, let alone use her Spiritual Consciousness to explore it. She could only feel a chill coming from the deepest part of the canyon.
Shen Qinyu shuddered. How could one survive falling into such a place? In such a place where one's Spiritual Consciousness was restricted, not to mention encountering a Time Wheel, even if there was no danger, one would not be able to climb up, right?
… …
After Ning Cheng sent Shen Qinyu away, he felt a lot more relaxed. However, in the face of the violent whirlpool that had wrapped around him, he still could not break free.
These whirlpools were like a loophole, sucking him from the mouth of the funnel to the bottom.
"Bang ….." Not knowing for how long, the powerful whirlpool threw Ning Cheng to the ground, causing ice chips to splatter everywhere. The terrifying impact caused Ning Cheng to break several of his bones. Fortunately, Ning Cheng was a Body-Forging Cultivator. Moreover, he was crazily wielding the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds. As such, this kind of injury was not fatal to him.
Under the circulation of Celestial Essence, the broken bones quickly healed.
Ning Cheng immediately wielded the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, intending to fly out of the glacial canyon that had suddenly cracked open. However, he had just flown out a few feet when the violent whirlpool once again pulled him down.
This kind of powerful force was completely different from the one at the bottom of the well. Moreover, the higher he went, the more powerful the whirlpool became. Ning Cheng's heart sank. If he could not force his way through this whirlpool, he would never reach the teleportation array.
Taking out several medicinal pills to restore Celestial Essence, Ning Cheng once again wielded the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds. This time, with the assistance of the medicinal pills, Ning Cheng managed to rise a few dozen feet. However, the powerful force of the funnel whirlpool still pulled him down.
Looking up at the glacial canyon, Ning Cheng could not see the end of it. Ning Cheng knew that it would be difficult to get out of this place. This time, he could feel it a lot more clearly. This whirlpool even contained the flow of time, and the higher he went, the more powerful it became.
Ning Cheng left the place where he fell with some loss. If he wanted to get out, he would have to find another way. As for Shen Qinyu, he had already thrown her into the teleportation array. As such, there should not be any problems.
After walking for less than a few hundred meters, his Spiritual Consciousness swept across a ring. Ning Cheng raised his hand and picked up the ring. However, the ring immediately collapsed, and everything inside turned into nothingness.
Ning Cheng sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt sure that someone else had fallen into this place. However, that person's bones had long since frozen into nothingness by the cold at the bottom of the valley. Moreover, that person's ring had also completely cracked under the cold because of the long time. Ning Cheng had only touched it a little, yet the ring had already turned into flying ash.
Because of this ring that had turned into nothingness, Ning Cheng's heart became even more clouded. Cultivators who could reach this place were definitely not weaklings. Yet, those people ended up getting sucked into this Time Funnel Whirlpool and ended up dying without even turning into ashes. Now that he had fallen in here, would there still be any chance of survival?
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng became even more careful. His Spiritual Consciousness started to probe around. He once again caught a faint flow of time, which caused Ning Cheng to feel shocked. Was there a Time Wheel in this place?
This canyon looked extremely narrow. If he encountered a Time Wheel, then he would have no other way but to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead. However, Ning Cheng soon discovered that it was not a Time Wheel, but some stones that exuded a faint twilight glow. Unlike the irregular shape of the Time Stones, these stones were almost the same size. Each one was the size of a baby's fist. But what shocked Ning Cheng even more was the beauty of these stones. It was just like the sunset glow that he and Shen Qinyu had faced in the past. It was simply too beautiful to behold.
Ning Cheng rushed to the side of the stones that exuded the twilight glow of time in just a few steps. He then raised his hand and grabbed one of them.
The faint sorrow of the passing of time spread to the bottom of his heart. Combined with the twilight glow of the stone, Ning Cheng couldn't help but sigh. So beautiful.
He had never seen such a beautiful stone before. This stone gave off a sad feeling that reached the bottom of one's heart. It also gave off a feeling of despair in the face of dusk. This kind of beauty was different from other kinds of beauty. It had a hint of twilight.
This was the Twilight Sand. Ning Cheng did not need to ask others to know that this was the Twilight Sand.
Twilight Sand was hidden in this place. Even if he and Shen Qinyu stayed in the Sea of Twilight for decades, they most likely would not be able to find the Twilight Sand. Since the Twilight Sand had spread out, it meant that someone had come here before. Moreover, that person had also come out.
After understanding this, Ning Cheng's heart suddenly shook and his mood turned for the better. If others could come out, then he could also come out.
Ning Cheng quickly picked up the dozen or so Twilight Sand scattered on the frozen ground and carefully put them in a jade box. Whether he would use this thing in the future when crafting a long spear or not, it was still a treasure.
The power of the maelstrom, which had weakened by countless times, spread to this place. Ning Cheng looked up and finally understood why there were so many Twilight Sands in this place. These Twilight Sands were the result of the power of the Time Whirlpool. After a long time, it had gathered here.
