Ning Cheng nodded. Qi Shisanxing's words were true. Not everyone had a Starry Sky Wheel. Ning Cheng had used the Starry Sky Wheel to fly for two months. If it were any other flight-type weapon, it wouldn't be surprising for him to reach this place in three or four months.
"I'm at the full-circle of the Eternal Realm and about to enter the Dao Sculpting Realm. I didn't come to the Grand Essence Mystic Realm to participate in the Grand Essence Great Meet. I came here to find a way to condense my spiritual consciousness and expand my Sea of Consciousness. But no matter how well prepared I was, I almost died in the Grand Essence Lost Stone Forest. If I weren't a body-forging cultivator, maybe I wouldn't have survived until today ….. "
Ning Cheng interjected in doubt, "Brother Qi, you can't get out of this place. At most, you can't cultivate. As long as you have some spirit crystals or medicinal pills, you shouldn't die, right? "
Qi Shisanxing shook his head, "You'll understand what's going on after staying here for a few months. Even if your Sea of Consciousness grew stronger, you would still fall into hallucinations after a month. You would always feel weak, and you would constantly take out all kinds of cultivation resources to arrange Spiritual Gathering Arrays to absorb them for cultivation. But you wouldn't be able to cultivate for a long time. At most, in half a day, you would throw everything away and run to another place.
Along the way, you might even fight against monsters condensed from non-existent Yin Qi. Moreover, you can't absorb the spiritual qi in this place. You might even throw out spirit crystals to arrange Spiritual Gathering Arrays during the fight ….. "
Ning Cheng frowned. If what Qi Shisanxing said was true, then no one could survive in this place for a long time.
Qi Shisanxing sighed, "I've struggled in this place for tens of thousands of years and can barely resist some of the illusions. But you have to be careful. After a while, you will definitely be affected. Therefore, we have to leave this place before you get affected. "
"How do we leave?" Ning Cheng took in a deep breath. He didn't think that Qi Shisanxing was lying to him.
Qi Shisanxing's expression also turned solemn. He said in a deep voice, "During the tens of thousands of years I wandered in the Lost Stone Forest, I found a jade strip on one of the fallen cultivators. The jade strip said that this Lost Stone Forest contained Divine Chalcedony, which can be refined into Spirit Essence Pills by adding some divine grasses. The Spirit Essence Pill was a pill that could increase one's divine sense and expand one's sea of wisdom. Not only could this pill expand one's sea of wisdom, it could also prevent cultivators from getting lost in the Lost Stone Forest. The most frightening thing in the Lost Stone Forest is getting lost. Once we don't get lost, we will eventually be able to find a way out with our strength. "
"Then how did you wander around for tens of thousands of years?" Ning Cheng asked in a deep voice.
The dry skin on Qi Shisanxing's face twitched a few times before he slowly said, "That's not a life for humans. Every month, I would fall into madness. Then, in my madness, I used up all my strength and consciousness, and finally fainted. Again and again, as if there was no end to it. My strong body allowed me to survive this terrible torture.
And when I woke up, all my previous deductions about the way out of the Lost Stone Forest would be blurred, and then I would start again. In the end, I knew there was no point in going on. I no longer tried to deduce the way out. Instead, I repeatedly memorized the important information, such as the Divine Chalcedony, the Spirit Essence Pill, and the hallucination. "
"Why don't you use a jade strip to carve these things down? Just like the jade strip you used to get the news about the Spirit Essence Pill?" Ning Cheng asked in doubt.
Qi Shisanxing shook his head, "Try carving a jade strip, and you'll know why."
Ning Cheng immediately took out a jade strip and engraved Qi Shisanxing's words on it. But soon, he found something wrong. The things he engraved at the beginning had disappeared. He couldn't even engrave jade strips in this place.
"I suspect that the jade strip I obtained was brought in by that cultivator from the outside. Moreover, that cultivator was an Alchemist. He should have come in to look for Divine Chalcedony. But I guess he couldn't find it and ended up dying in the Lost Stone Forest. " Qi Shisanxing didn't care about Ning Cheng's words and put away the jade strip. He already knew that Ning Cheng couldn't engrave anything in this place.
Grand Essence Lost Stone Forest, Divine Chalcedony, Spirit Essence Pill, Pill Sage Min Kong, Spiritual Medicine Garden …..
These irrelevant things appeared in Ning Cheng's mind for no reason. He suddenly thought of Pill Sage Min Kong. Did he destroy his cultivation to re-condense his spiritual consciousness and open a new Sea of Consciousness? If that was the case, did Pill Sage Min Kong also die in the Grand Essence Lost Stone Forest?
Qi Shisanxing didn't know that Ning Cheng's thoughts had changed so quickly. He spoke out his thoughts, "None of us are Pill Deities, and we don't have pill recipes. But I have a way. That is, we can go all out to find Divine Chalcedony. I don't need Divine Chalcedony to have any effect before we start refining pills. As long as Divine Chalcedony can keep us from getting lost in this place, we can find a way to get out ….. "
Ning Cheng wanted to say that he was a Dao Sculpting Pill Deity. But thinking about the Spirit Essence Pill, he guessed that a newly advanced Dao Sculpting Pill like him wouldn't be able to refine it. Not to mention, he didn't even have a pill recipe.
"What if we still can't find Divine Chalcedony after getting lost?" Ning Cheng asked.
Qi Shisanxing sighed again, "Then we have to wait until we wake up and start again. Maybe in the end, you'll end up like me, turning into a skeleton and waiting for the people behind to save you. Because every time you wake up, you'll feel like you've been gnawed on by countless things. Not only would you lose a lot of weight, but the yin qi in your Sea of Consciousness would also increase a lot. After you wake up, the first thing you need to do is to expel the yin qi. "
Ning Cheng brought out a long spear and pointed it at a huge stone peak in front of him. "I'll flatten all the stone peaks around us first. That way, I can broaden my horizons ….."
"Don't do that …." Before Ning Cheng could finish, Qi Shisanxing stopped Ning Cheng. "These stone peaks don't have Divine Chalcedony. Moreover, once you do that, you'll immediately get lost. You won't even wait for the stone peaks to completely shatter ….. "
"Do you have a better way? And how do you know that these stone peaks don't have Divine Chalcedony? "Ning Cheng looked at Qi Shisanxing and asked.
Qi Shisanxing shook his head, "In the beginning, I used a secret technique to break through a few small stone peaks. But I found no Divine Chalcedony in them. Moreover, if I attack the stone peaks, I'll fall into a stronger illusion and lose myself for a longer time. My method is the same as before, to slowly search for Divine Chalcedony inside ….. "
As he spoke, Qi Shisanxing felt a little lacking in confidence. He had been searching for tens of thousands of years. Not to mention Divine Chalcedony, he couldn't even find a drop of water.
When Ning Cheng saw Qi Shisanxing's expression, he understood that he didn't have the confidence. Besides, Ning Cheng had been wandering around this place for a few days and knew that it didn't make any sense to continue like this. Sooner or later, he would have to break through these stone peaks. Therefore, he might as well attack while he was still energetic.
"Brother Qi, I have to give it a try. Please let me go first. If I don't try these stone peaks, I won't be able to calm down and slowly search for Divine Chalcedony. "
Qi Shisanxing, on seeing Ning Cheng's firm tone, knew that he couldn't stop Ning Cheng. Therefore, he said, "Wait a minute. I'll make myself faint first. Then you can start, lest you treat me as an opponent ….."
After saying that, he ran back to his previous cave and lay down. Then, he sealed off all his senses in an instant. It was almost the same as fainting.
Ning Cheng didn't care about Qi Shisanxing. He took a deep breath, brought out a long spear, and aimed at one of the stone peaks hundreds of feet high.
As his celestial essence surged, the surrounding space gave off a buzzing sound. Seeing a force tearing through the surrounding space and about to fall on the stone peak, Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness suddenly paused. Even his Sea of Consciousness had a shadow cast over it. It felt as if something had resonated with his Sea of Consciousness, affecting his Sea of Consciousness.
An inexhaustible amount of Yin Qi suddenly rolled up from the ground, forming one monstrous beast after another that rushed towards Ning Cheng. A powerful suppressive force came over, and Ning Cheng's celestial essence power suddenly weakened. It felt as if it had turned into a blade of grass caressing the stone peak.
Because of Qi Shisanxing's reminder, Ning Cheng had already prepared himself. Therefore, when the endless Yin Qi swept up from the ground and turned into Yin Qi demonic beasts, Ning Cheng treated it as an illusion. Ning Cheng firmly guarded his Sea of Consciousness and even actively let the Mysterious Yellow Origin Aura scour his Sea of Consciousness, fearing that he would fall into an illusion.
But to Ning Cheng's horror, no matter how much the Mysterious Yellow Origin Aura scoured his Sea of Consciousness, his Sea of Consciousness still grew dimmer and dimmer. At the same time, the attacks from the yin demons grew stronger and stronger. If not for his Sea of Consciousness being so powerful, he might have already fallen into a frenzied counterattack.
This feeling made him want to bring out all kinds of spirit techniques to destroy these yin demons. However, he didn't feel the illusion of arranging a Spiritual Gathering Array like Qi Shisanxing had said. Most likely, it was because he could absorb the spirit qi in this place and his starry sky Sea of Consciousness.
Ning Cheng shot out one Time Wheel after another. This illusion felt too real, so real that Ning Cheng didn't dare to stop his counterattack.
The yin demons seemed endless. Even if the Time Wheels killed them, the yin demons would still keep coming in. Ning Cheng's Sea of Consciousness grew more and more sluggish, and his Sea of Consciousness turned even dimmer. It felt as if many foreign enemies had invaded his Sea of Consciousness. Not only that, but his celestial essence was also on the verge of exhaustion.
No, Ning Cheng suddenly reacted. This wasn't all an illusion. Although it was an illusion, these yin demons were definitely real. Not to mention that he had been using the Mysterious Yellow Origin Aura to scour his Sea of Consciousness, he could already feel the cold yin aura as soon as he entered this place.
Ning Cheng finally understood how those bones came to be. Once a cultivator suffered a joint attack from an illusion and reality, they would eventually fall into a coma. At that time, these yin demons would then devour the flesh and blood of the unconscious cultivator. Because Qi Shisanxing was a body-forging cultivator, these yin demons couldn't easily devour his flesh and blood, which allowed him to persist for so many years.
Therefore, when the yin demons attacked, his Sea of Consciousness would feel a resonance, which meant that it was indeed an illusion. However, Ning Cheng felt even more sure that these yin demons weren't illusions.
After thinking about this, Ning Cheng raised his hand and grabbed the Seven Bridges Realm Book. At the same time, he brought out the Seven Bridges Realm Book and activated the First Spirit Technique, the Bridge of Coping.
The blurry stone stele of the First Bridge appeared once again, and a pale-white stone arch bridge, which was much more blurry than the one he used to deal with the Human-faced Poison Centipede, slowly emerged.
This time, Ning Cheng didn't burn his essence blood. Although these yin demons had a lot of them, their strength couldn't compare to the Human-faced Poison Centipede.
As soon as the First Bridge of Coping came out, the yin wind howled, and the blurry blood river surged.
The yin demons formed from yin qi, like moths in the face of a flame, frantically rushed towards the First Bridge of Coping. A faint voice once again emerged from the First Bridge of Coping, "No return in life, no retreat in death. Once you enter the Bridge of Coping, you will never return … No hope, no reincarnation, only the blood river to wash away your sins …."
As this voice emerged, the yin demons formed from yin qi rushed up even more crazily.
At this time, Ning Cheng didn't even need to stimulate his Celestial Essence and Spiritual Consciousness. The First Bridge of Coping automatically became clear. The more yin demon auras rushed into it, the clearer the First Bridge of Coping became.
Looking at the countless yin demons in front of him, knowing that they would die if they rushed in, Ning Cheng muttered to himself, "So the Seven Bridges Spirit Technique is condensed in this way."
