After Ning Cheng returned to Covered Snow City, the first thing he did was to go into seclusion to refine the Seven Bridges Realm Book. If this wordless book truly contained the Seven Bridges Spirit Technique, it definitely wouldn't be any weaker than the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow.
To Ning Cheng's disappointment, even after three months of seclusion, the wordless book still had only a name. Apart from that, he didn't get anything else.
In desperation, Ning Cheng could only give up on refining the book. He couldn't spend all his time on it. He had to go to Thorn Tooth Lake to study the teleportation array. Since Yan Ji had teleported away from Thorn Tooth Lake, Ning Cheng still couldn't feel at ease.
As for Mysterious Yellow Celestial River and Jiangzhou Star, Ning Cheng knew that he didn't have to worry about them.
What he did in Striking Order Starland and Nine Jewels Starry Sky might not have spread throughout Grand Culmination Starry Sky, but at least everyone around Mysterious Yellow Celestial River knew about it. Even Chuan Xinlou didn't dare to come to Jiangzhou Star to find trouble with Ning Cheng, so who would dare? One could say that Jiangzhou Star, or even Mysterious Yellow Celestial River, was the safest place in this part of the starry sky.
Of course, only a few people knew that Chuan Xinlou had left Grand Culmination Starry Sky.
… …
Night Essence Celestial River's Orchid Bane Star's Thorn Tooth Lake. Ever since Ning Cheng killed Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Xiang here a few years ago, few people came here. After Luo Sizhe completely took over Nine Jewels Starry Sky, Luo Sizhe listed this place as a forbidden area.
Ning Cheng had been working on the teleportation array under Thorn Tooth Lake for two years now. Over the past two years, he had been constantly deducing various forms of teleportation arrays, trying to arrange a one-way teleportation array. Even if he couldn't teleport to the original location, he could at least teleport to a nearby location.
Although Ning Cheng had the Mysterious Yellow Formless, and few people could match his deduction ability, he still couldn't deduce the method to arrange a one-way teleportation array, let alone advance to the Array Dao Master realm.
To help Ning Cheng, Nine Jewels Starry Sky's Starry Sky Emperor Luo Sizhe had collected the best array dao jade strips in the entire Nine Jewels Starry Sky. Unfortunately, these array dao jade strips couldn't help Ning Cheng reach the next level in the Array Dao.
Even after studying array formations for several years, he still couldn't advance to the level of an Array Dao Master. This made Ning Cheng deeply understand the difficulties of becoming an Array Dao Master. From a Grade 7 Starry Sky Array Emperor to a Grade 9 Starry Sky Array, Starry Ning Cheng didn't spend much effort.
However, the difficulty of advancing to become an Array Dao Master put Ning Cheng in a difficult situation for the first time.
Fortunately, he didn't come up empty-handed. After years of studying the Dao of Arrays, Ning Cheng realised that he still lacked the most important foundation to advance to the level of an Array Dao Master, the Laws of Space.
No one was like him, who had come into contact with the Laws of Time for so long, but still hadn't touched the Laws of Space. In terms of complexity, the Law of Space was inferior to the Law of Time. In comparison, touching the Law of Space was much easier than touching the Law of Time. However, Ning Cheng touched the Laws of Time first.
In the Dao of Arrays, especially when it came to setting up ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays, the Array Master had to have a certain understanding of the Laws of Space. Otherwise, no matter how strong one's comprehension and deduction ability was, it would be in vain. If you want to fly, you must first have wings. It didn't matter if your wings were solid or in some other form.
To come into contact with the Laws of Space, the most famous of the four grand starry skies were the Grand Spirit Heaven Starry Sky's Sky Ridge and the Demon Domain's Traceless Gate. The fame of these two places was comparable to that of Striking Order Starry Skies' Time Wilderness. The difference was that the Time Wilderness was a place to comprehend the Laws of Time, while the Sky Ridge and the Traceless Gate were places to comprehend the Laws of Space.
The Sky Ridge was filled with spacial collapses, spacial cracks, and spacial dislocations. It also had dense spacial blade lights. In fact, not many cultivators would go to this place to comprehend the Laws of Space. Going to the Sky Ridge was equivalent to holding one's head in one's hands.
The Demon Domain's Traceless Gate looked safer than the Sky Ridge. Although there were no spacial dislocations here, the Traceless Gate had too many separate pockets. After entering one of these pockets, one's spiritual consciousness couldn't penetrate it. Sometimes, even if two people were close to each other, they couldn't see each other. Many cultivators who tried to comprehend the Laws of Space in the Traceless Gate never came out after entering.
Only those who knew the inside story understood that the Traceless Gate was no less dangerous than the Sky Ridge.
If Ning Cheng wanted to come into contact with the Laws of Space in the shortest time, he had to go to these two places. After thinking about it again and again, Ning Cheng decided to go to the Traceless Gate first.
He had seen spacial dislocations and spacial collapses many times, but he couldn't comprehend any Laws of Space. On the contrary, Ning Cheng had only heard about the Traceless Gate but had never tried it.
… …
The Traceless Gate was a trial ground for comprehending the Laws of Space. However, not everyone could enter the Traceless Gate. Because the entrance to the Traceless Gate was guarded by the Traceless Immortal Pond, the Traceless Immortal Pond was a real sect.
This sect was located in the Grand Demon Domain Starry Sky. If one wanted to enter the Traceless Gate's trial ground, one had to pass through this sect.
Standing outside the Traceless Immortal Pond, Ning Cheng felt shocked. This place might not be as majestic as Chuan Xinlou's Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain, but this place was definitely the largest sect he had ever seen.
The nine huge Heaven Connecting Array Pillars explained everything. These Heaven Connecting Array Pillars required a lot of top-grade materials, which required many Artefact-crafting and Array Formation Grand Masters to arrange. Even on Stately River Star, he wouldn't waste so much.
Several suspended waterfalls appeared in the air, and Ning Cheng could tell that these waterfalls were the hidden array foundations of the sect. The majestic sound of the waterfalls indicated that this was a powerful sect, no weaker than any other place.
This was just a corner of it. Ning Cheng, a peak-level Array Emperor, could easily tell that this kind of grand arrangement was everywhere in the Traceless Immortal Pond.
Ning Cheng had just observed for a while when a young female cultivator came out to receive him. After hearing Ning Cheng's intentions, she didn't ask any nonsense. She asked Ning Cheng to pay 100 Permanent Essence Pills and directly brought Ning Cheng to the Traceless Immortal Pond's guest room.
Ning Cheng was famous in Grand Culmination Starry Sky. Even Devil Domain's Silent Bubble Starland had heard of Ning Cheng's name. But in Demon Domain's Traceless Immortal Pond, Ning Cheng was truly unknown. No one had heard of him at all.
Ning Cheng wasn't the only one who wanted to enter the Traceless Gate through the Traceless Immortal Pond. When Ning Cheng arrived at the Traceless Immortal Pond's guest room, five people were already waiting here, and he was the sixth.
Most of the people who came here to comprehend the Laws of Space were reclusive cultivators. When Ning Cheng came in, the first five people in the guest room all had their eyes closed, and none of them spoke. Of these five people, three were male and two were female. Except for one in the Heaven Seated Realm, the other four were two in the Life and Death Realm and two in the Eternal Realm. Among the two Eternal cultivators, one was even at the late-stage Eternal Realm.
Ning Cheng didn't like waiting here, but he had no other choice. The Traceless Gate was the territory of the Traceless Immortal Pond. Therefore, he had no choice but to wait.
Fortunately, Ning Cheng didn't have to wait long before a middle-aged female cultivator arrived at the guest room. When Ning Cheng saw this middle-aged female cultivator, he felt that the Traceless Immortal Pond wasn't simple. This middle-aged female cultivator, who came out to receive guests, already had early-stage Eternal cultivation.
The middle-aged female cultivator cupped her fists towards Ning Cheng's group of six and said, "As the guardian sect of the Traceless Gate, my Traceless Immortal Pond would like to thank everyone for coming to the Traceless Gate to comprehend the Laws of Space. Although everyone already knows about it, I still have to say some words first. Since the establishment of the Traceless Immortal Pond, a total of 1,113,412 cultivators have entered the Traceless Gate, but a total of 90,378 people have come out unscathed.
Of course, we don't know how many of these people managed to comprehend the Laws of Space. However, I can tell you one thing. Devil Domain Grand Starry Sky's Heavenly Emperor Qiao Jierui has entered the Traceless Gate. I believe that everyone knows about Heavenly Emperor Qiao Jierui's Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner, which came from the Traceless Gate. Moreover, I believe that few people in the four grand starry skies could match his control over the Laws of Space. "
Ning Cheng truly didn't know that Qiao Jierui had entered the Traceless Gate. However, Ning Cheng had seen the Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner before. It truly was a space-type weapon. Ning Cheng didn't care about Qiao Jierui's Laws of Space. Compared to the red-haired man he killed, Qiao Jierui's control over the Laws of Space was too weak.
However, the survival rate of entering the Traceless Gate shocked Ning Cheng. It was less than one-tenth. The other five people looked calm. Apparently, they all knew about the dangers of the Traceless Gate before coming here.
Seeing the six people remaining silent, the middle-aged female cultivator continued, "Apart from paying 10,000 Permanent Essence Pills to enter the Traceless Gate, there is another task ….."
Ning Cheng asked in doubt, "Didn't we pay 100 Permanent Essence Pills when we came in? Why do we still have to pay 10,000 Permanent Essence Pills? "
"This 10,000 Permanent Essence Pills is the fee to enter the Traceless Gate. As for the 100 Permanent Essence Pills, it's the reception fee." The middle-aged female cultivator glanced at Ning Cheng and spoke with a calm voice.
Ning Cheng looked at the cup of spirit tea in front of him and couldn't help but think that it was too expensive. A cup of water cost 100 Permanent Essence Pills? 10,000 Permanent Essence Pills naturally didn't mean much to him. But with over a million people, how many Permanent Essence Pills would it cost? No wonder the Traceless Immortal Pond was so rich.
No, even if a million people entered the Traceless Gate, the Traceless Immortal Pond wouldn't be this rich. After all, these million people didn't come here all at once. It was an accumulation of countless years. Ning Cheng was a top-notch Artefact-crafting Emperor and a top-notch Starry Sky Array Emperor Master. Therefore, he naturally understood how much money Traceless Immortal Pond spent to build it.
From the looks of it, the Traceless Immortal Pond seemed to have other sources of income. While Ning Cheng was thinking about it, the others had already handed over Permanent Essence Pills. Two cultivators didn't have enough Permanent Essence Pills and used Perpetual Moon Pills instead.
Ning Cheng didn't hesitate and directly took out 10,000 Permanent Essence Pills and handed it over. He already had hundreds of millions of Permanent Essence Pills on him.
After putting away the Permanent Essence Pills and Perpetual Moon Pills handed over by the six people, the middle-aged female cultivator continued, "Many cultivators in the Traceless Gate never came out after entering, including many disciples of my Traceless Immortal Pond.
Therefore, when you enter the Traceless Gate, you also have a mission. As long as you can find my Traceless Immortal Pond's disciples in the Traceless Gate and bring them out, we will reward you with at least 100,000 Permanent Essence Pills. Even if the highest reward is a hundred million Permanent Essence Pills, my Traceless Immortal Pond will not be stingy. "
