“How do you know that there are three Perpetual Moon Ti Keys?” Ning Cheng asked, wondering if this sothing intentionally passed down by the Perpetual Moon Holy Emperor.
Duan Gantai showed a smile, “It’s just luck that I managed to obtain sothing left behind by the Perpetual Moon Holy Emperor. From that, I understood that the Perpetual Moon Holy Emperor kept his most precious treasures in the Temple of Ti, and it also included several spirit techniques related to the Laws of Ti. However, to open the Temple of Ti, the three Perpetual Moon Ti Keys must appear at the sa ti. These three keys are black, grey and white in colour, respectively.”
Ning Cheng could help but think that this person enjoyed so exceptional luck. Since Duan Gantai said that he obtained this information from sothing, then it most probably was a part of the Perpetual Moon Holy Emperor’s inheritance.
“I wonder if Brother Duan can tell the location of the Temple of Ti?” Ning Cheng asked with a polite voice and cupped fists. Since he had to ask Duan Gantai for this information, then he had to use a respectful tone.
Duan Gantai’s expressions imdiately turned serious as he spoke, “Brother Ning, we are still missing the last Perpetual Moon Ti Key. I believe that you and I are both very concerned about the Temple of Ti. In that case, we should sincerely cooperate with each other. This cooperation is totally different from when we worked together in the Su Clan. It is a cooperation without any prejudice.”
Ning Cheng couldn’t help but curse within his heart, it would be strange if he believed Duan Gantai’s ‘sincerity’. However, just like Duan Gantai, he also put up a serious expression and said, “What Brother Duan said is correct, this ti we should cooperate sincerely. Previously, when I severed the Starry Sky Essence Qi Vein, I accidentally cut off a bit more. Therefore, I would like to imdiately return this extra portion of the Starry Sky Essence Qi Vein to Brother Duan.”
Although Ning Cheng did not believe that Duan Gantai would sincerely cooperate with him, he was sure that Duan Gantai, just like him, was also very concerned about the Temple of Ti. Since he had a Perpetual Moon Ti Key, then Duan Gantai had no choice but to work with him. Conversely, even if he wanted to enter the Temple of Ti, he would also have to work together with Duan Gantai.
Duan Gantai laughed, “That’s not necessary. Since we would be cooperating with each other, it ans that we are friends. What’s the need to talk about an extra portion of the Starry Sky Essence Qi Vein? Brother Ning, although we had so minor misunderstandings in the past, I would like to make a proposal to make our cooperation sincerer.”
“Brother Duan, please speak.” Ning Cheng responded with a solemn tone.
“Brother Ning, I have a Connecting Spirit Silk. Does Brother Ning know about the uses of the Connecting Spirit Silk?” Duan Gantai spoke with a more relaxed tone.
Ning Cheng shook his head and spoke, “I’ve never heard of it. What is this Connecting Spirit Silk?”
Although he said that, Ning Cheng felt shocked in his heart. This person was so wealthy that he even had a Connecting Spirit Silk. As a Celestial River King who could refine high-grade Dao Artefacts, how could Ning Cheng not know about Connecting Spirit Silk? Connecting Spirit Silk was sothing extrely challenging to create; at the very least, he could not create it with his current capabilities.
The Connecting Spirit Silk was invisible and formless, sothing that ordinary Spiritual Consciousnesses cannot detect. To make this object, one not only needed a robust Spiritual Consciousness and high-level Artefact-crafting Skills but also extrely precious Artefact-crafting raw materials.
Connecting Spirit Silk only had one effect. That is, it would tie two people together invisibly. Once one of the two went beyond a certain distance, the other person would imdiately know about it. At the sa ti, the Connecting Spirit Silk also produces a strong pulling force, and would always pull the two people towards each other if they were within a certain distance. Moreover, only if the two parties involved mutually agreed to remove it would the Connecting Spirit Silk co off.
Duan Gantai explained, “Connecting Spirit Silk would help us not wander away from each other easily. There are two tokens for this thing, and we each would have to refine one. When we find the Temple of Ti, we can then remove the Connecting Spirit Silk. Brother Ning, what do you think about such an arrangent?”
This ti, Ning Cheng couldn’t understand what Duan Gantai ant. From the looks of it, Duan Gantai was playing with fire. This person most likely had also realised that he wouldn’t be able to grab his Perpetual Moon Ti Key from him, so he wanted to use this thod to tie both together. There were potentially two purposes for this. One was to find an opportunity to kill him, which would give all the things he owned to Duan Gantai by default. The other purpose was to continue working together till they reached the Temple of Ti; in that case, he wouldn’t imdiately make a move to kill Ning Cheng but would allow him to spy on his movents.
In fact, Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai both felt the sa way. Ning Cheng was also afraid that he would lose track of Duan Gantai. Once Duan Gantai left, where would he go to search for the Perpetual Moon Ti Key with Duan Gantai?
Duan Gantai wanted to kill him, but he also wanted to kill Duan Gantai for the sa reason. Moreover, Ning Cheng was sure that Duan Gantai had a way to remove the Connecting Spirit Silk without his consent.
However, Ning Cheng did not feel afraid because of it. He could easily cast the Sunset’s Twilight within his Starry Sky Sea of Consciousness. Since Duan Gantai could remove the Connecting Spirit Silk without his consent, he could also remove the Connecting Spirit Silk without Duan Gantai’s permission.
If he could cast Sunset’s Twilight in his Sea of Consciousness, he could use that montary pause to sever his connection with the Connecting Spirit Silk.
Ning Cheng hesitated for a while before he spoke, “I don’t have any problems with it. But I’m afraid that if Brother Duan t an unexpected demise, would I be able to ever untie the Connecting Spirit Silk?”
Although these words might sound like a cheap jab, the fact was that Ning Cheng wanted Duan Gantai to know that without Duan Gantai, Ning Cheng wouldn’t be able to untie the Connecting Spirit Silk.
Duan Gantai cursed at him within his heart. You should go et an ‘unexpected demise’. However, the smile over his face grew more complacent, “How would it be possible? If I were in any danger, I’m sure Brother Ning would not sit by and do nothing. Brother Ning can rest assured that even if you die, I will help you unlock the Connecting Spirit Silk.”
“In that case, so be it. Also, Brother Duan, where should we go from here?” Ning Cheng smiled and did not continue that topic. He had already expressed what he wanted to convey.
“I know of a place called Mysterious Yellow Starland. This starland is quite far from the Perpetual Moon Holy Emperor’s Temple of Ti. However, with our speed, we could reach it in at most twenty years from there.” Duan Gantai replied.
“How do we get to this Mysterious Yellow Starland?” Ning Cheng asked with a calm voice. However, he couldn’t help but feel sothing strange about it in his heart. This na sounded pretty much the sa as his Mysterious Yellow Bead.
“Does Brother Ning know about the Eternal Night Single File Gorge? If we go through the Eternal Night Single File Gorge, we can then reach the Mysterious Yellow Starland.”
Eternal Night Single File Gorge? Ning Cheng didn’t expect that he would have to go through the Eternal Night Single File Gorge this early.
“Ok, let’s head to the Eternal Night Single File Gorge. Brother Duan, give a Connecting Spirit Silk token, I’ll bind it now.” Whether or not he went to the Eternal Night Single File Gorge, Ning Cheng imdiately agreed to Duan Gantai’s proposal.
“It’s really a pleasure working with you. I knew it was for the best to seek out Brother Ning for cooperation.” Duan Gantai took out what seed to resemble a formless ring and passed it to Ning Cheng, “This is one of the tokens of the Connecting Spirit Silk. Brother Ning, as long as you just looped the ring around your wrist and injected it with a little bit of spirit sense, the Connecting Spirit Silk would automatically attach itself to you.”
As soon as Ning Cheng obtained the Connecting Spirit Silk, his spiritual consciousness imdiately swept towards it. This Connecting Spirit Silk looked and felt like air, and did not seem to have any weight as it rested over his palm.
Ning Cheng knew that he had not guessed wrong at least one thing. With his Starry Sky Sea of Consciousness, coupled with the Spiritual Consciousness Blades, if he wanted to sever the connection with the Connecting Spirit Silk, he would not have to go through Duan Gantai.
Knowing that the Connecting Spirit Silk would not have any effect on him, Ning Cheng did not hesitate to put the Connecting Spirit Silk over his wrist and injected a trace of his spirit sense into it.
Seeing Ning Cheng not hesitate to wear the Connecting Spirit Silk, Duan Gantai couldn’t help but have so admiration towards Ning Cheng in his heart. This fellow surnad Ning might have a shrewd mind, but he also had courage. Seeing that, Duan Gantai naturally could not fall behind. He took out another Connecting Spirit Silk token and put it on.
When Duan Gantai wore the Connecting Spirit Silk, Ning Cheng imdiately felt Duan Gantai’s distance from his position. Moreover, every movent of Duan Gantai appeared within his range of perception. From this, Ning Cheng also realised that all his actions were also under Duan Gantai’s surveillance.
“Brother Ning, from now on, we would have to work together as we both are now in the sa boat and strive to get to the Temple of Ti as soon as possible.” Duan Gantai smiled and spoke to Ning Cheng with cupped fists.
Ning Cheng also smiled and spoke, “Brother Duan said it right. Let’s head to the Eternal Night Single File Gorge now.”
Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai both spoke with sincerity and with cupped fists. Then, both brought out their flight-type weapons and flew towards the Eternal Night Single File Gorge.
Although Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai reached an agreent, the Su Clan within the Eternal Night City had turned upside down. Just as Ning Cheng guessed, the mont that he and Duan Gantai walked out of the front yard and left, Su Clan’s Eternal-level powerhouses imdiately teleported into the Eternal Night City. However, all they saw was a Su Clan drained of its Starry Sky Essence Qi Vein.
......
A few months later, Ning Cheng stood before the Eternal Night Single File Gorge, finally understanding why it had such a na.
The Eternal Night Single File Gorge was truly like its na, with towering cliffs on both sides facing each other. As one’s spiritual consciousness swept out, one would only find chaotic space everywhere. But in the middle of the two cliffs was a narrow path about three inches in width. The oppression one felt within this confined space was enough to oppress people to death, let alone allow them to pass through this seemingly endless path.
“Brother Ning, this place is a little narrow, making a bit unsure about it. If Brother Ning also does not feel sure about it, we’ll have to find another way through it.” Duan Gantai spoke with sincerity.
Ning Cheng spoke up, “To tell the truth, I do not have much confidence either. How about Brother Duan leading the way? When we reach the Temple of Ti, I promise to work harder. Moreover, I also have an appointnt with a friend, but it’s not ti yet. Let send my friend a ssage.”
Duan Gantai quickly replied, “Brother Ning, since we are in this together, I naturally would not hurry without you.”
Ning Cheng affird that Duan Gantai had a way to get through the Eternal Night Single File Gorge. Since Duan Gantai could go through the Eternal Night Single File Gorge, then it also ant that Duan Gantai could use his spiritual consciousness in this place. Ning Cheng prepared himself for this; moreover, since Duan Gantai can pass through the Wood Transformation Forest, his spiritual consciousness could extend at least a few feet around him in that place.
Song Chengbo’s reply arrived quickly. He said that he can’t reach the Eternal Night Single File Gorge within a year and let Ning Cheng go in first.
“My friend can’t co for the ti being. Brother Duan, please lead the way.” Ning Cheng waved a polite hand and wanted to see how Duan Gantai would pass through the Eternal Night Single File Gorge.
“Ok, I’ll go in first. If Brother Ning needs help, just shout.” Duan Gantai finished, and seemingly not afraid of Ning Cheng coming up behind him, directly rushed into the Eternal Night Single File Gorge.
Ning Cheng clearly saw Duan Gantai’s body becoming as flat as a hair in just an instant, allowing him to quickly pass through the gap between the two cliffs and disappear from his vision. If it weren’t for the Connecting Spirit Silk, Ning Cheng couldn’t have felt Duan Gantai’s location.
As expected, this fellow really could use his spiritual consciousness and celestial essence. Moreover, not only could he use then, he could even take a leisurely stroll in this place.
Seeing this, Ning Cheng beca even warier of Duan Gantai. However, he still decided to rush into the Eternal Night Single File Gorge. As soon as he entered the Eternal Night Single File Gorge, Ning Cheng’s body turned soft, and in just a few breaths, it disappeared from the entrance of the Single File Gorge.
As Duan Gantai felt Ning Cheng’s location and the distance from him, he couldn’t help but curse at this bastard within his heart. He understood that this bastard surnad Ning, not only could use his spiritual consciousness and celestial essence in this place, he was also no weaker than him.
