During the moment of hesitation, the silhouette of this expert turned clear, showing that it was a female cultivator. Ning Cheng did not dare delay for even half a moment more as he struggled to control the Void Warship to crash into the nearest Spacial Collapse.
The expert never thought that Ning Cheng would suddenly choose to dive headfirst into a Spacial Collapse, something akin to seeking his or her own death. She had almost reached the Void Warship; however, for her to follow Ning Cheng into a Spacial Collapse, she was not that stupid.
Reaching and stopping near the edge of this Spacial Collapse, she simultaneously raised her hand intending to grab at the Void Warship.
However, the formidable suction force that suddenly emerged from the Spacial Collapse caused her to rush headfirst into it involuntarily, despite her formidable cultivation. Comparing cultivations, she was far more robust than Ning Cheng was. However, in the face of such a horrifying suction force from the Spacial Collapse, she had to use everything that she had to stabilise herself barely.
Just as she was starting to feel angry, the seemingly inexhaustible swarm of Void Explosive Golden Wasps appeared behind her. These Void Explosive Golden Wasps completely disregarded this Spacial Collapse and rushed directly towards the expert blocking the entrance to the Spacial Collapse. This expert secretly screamed in her heart for her bad luck. Although the Explosive Golden Wasps could go to any lengths to obtain the Wasp King Egg, she, however, did not want to die. At this moment, she spared no effort to break away from the entrance.
However, it was already too late by the time she reacted. The seemingly endless Void Explosive Golden Wasps engulfed her entirely. In the end, they all ended up sucked into the Spacial Collapse. Even if that was the case, the Void Explosive Golden Wasps that were slightly slow and trailing behind did not stop at all, and instead, all of them rushed into the Spacial Collapse.
After half-an-incense stick worth of time, apart from the gaping mouth of the Spacial Collapse, there was not even a single Void Explosive Golden Wasp in sight.
……
As soon as Ning Cheng entered the Spacial Collapse, he felt the Void Warship start disintegrating. It showed that in the face of such terrifying tearing Spacial Forces, nothing could hold on for long.
At this time, Ning Cheng only felt thankful. Fortunately, he had chosen not to bring Ji Luofei and Yi Zhuzhu with him. Otherwise, that indeed would have been a death-seeking act.
Ning Cheng immediately chose to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead. At the same time, he sealed up the other Explosive Golden Wasps’ Wasp King Egg and threw it into his Miniature World Ring. Ning Cheng has still not completed the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Origin; as such, anything but himself that stayed in the Mysterious Yellow Bead for a prolonged time would end up refined into nothingness by the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
Therefore, only Ning Cheng could currently stay inside the Mysterious Yellow Bead, wrapped up in his own Spiritual Consciousness. Moreover, he also did not know for how long he would remain trapped inside this Spacial Collapse. Once his Miniature World Ring ended up refined into nothingness, he would lose everything he ever owned.
……
The Mysterious Yellow Bead rumbled around within the Spacial Collapse, while Ning Cheng did not dare to let his Spiritual Consciousness seep out of it. He did not know for how long he remained in that state, but Ning Cheng finally felt that the Mysterious Yellow Bead had eventually come to a stop, allowing him to sweep out carefully with his Spiritual Consciousness. Only at this moment did Ning Cheng realise that not only was this a somewhat safe location, it was also completely silent.
Ning Cheng immediately came out of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, before his foot finally descended on a patch of hard ground. He also found that he could not sweep out with his Spiritual Consciousness over a long range. A range of a dozen miles was his current limit. Looking around, he found that himself somewhere at the bottom of a vast canyon. However, blocked by the high rock walls, his Spiritual Consciousness simply could not sweep towards the top. At the same time, he also could not make out the end of the canyon. This made Ning Cheng think of the original Axe Valley, which was also a narrow and seemingly endless canyon.
The surrounding area was a dusky grey colour with very low visibility. Not only that, but even the temperature was also quite high. Ning Cheng estimated that it should at least be around 40-50 degree Celsius in here. If an ordinary person were in this place, that person might even die from the heat. From what he could see outside of the canyon above it, it seemed to be an utterly grey world.
Ning Cheng attempted to activate his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, with the intent of rushing out of the canyon and look at what’s outside. He had just rushed up a couple of miles when an extremely powerful suction appeared out of nowhere and sucked him down towards the ground. Ultimately, he once again fell down to the bottom of the canyon.
Ning Cheng knew that this definitely was not the effect of gravity. Although gravity in this canyon was several times than that on Earth, gravity could still not bind him at all. Instead, this was a result of a natural Forbidden Space Restriction, which he could not overcome.
Ning Cheng gave out a sigh; he knew that it was useless to sink into anxiety. He took out the Nirvana Spear and walked forward towards the direction of the bend at the bottom of the canyon.
He planned it out inside his head, if unable to get out of this valley in a few days he would then forcefully try to make his way out of the valley. At the worst, he might end up stuck in this place for a few years; however, he never stopped believing that he could not get out of this place. As to where would he appear after coming out from the bottom of the valley? Ning Cheng could not answer that, maybe it would be in the Void near to the Rootless Black City, or would it be a completely different place?
He did not care about other things. What he did care was about Luofei worrying about him. Fortunately, he and Luofei shared a True Love Knot, which was something condensed from one’s Life Essence. As long as he remained safe, Luofei would naturally feel it.
……
Ink Essence Star.
This was a mainland where True Cultivation and Technological Civilisations developed synchronously. Relatively speaking, the developments relating to the Technological Civilisation was a lot more rapid.
The Ink Essence Star’s Qin Wu City was one of the few major cities within the Ink Essence Star. It was at this moment that a white-robed woman walked into the Qin Wu City with melancholy-filled eyes. Every day she would leave the Qin Wu City and go to the Makeshift Markets around the Qin Wu City to commission some information, acquire a variety of refining materials and look for jade strips that dealt in Talisman Refining.
All these materials, along with the jade strips, would then work their way over to the Qin Wu City’s Yue Clan.
The Yue Clan was not just the premier clan within the Ink Essence Star; it also was the family clan of a Tier 8 Talisman Grandmaster. The reason why this woman handed over these materials to the Yue Clan was to ask Yue Clan’s Yue Yangzhi to help her refine a Void Cleaving Talisman and let her return to Sifting Orchid.
This woman was none other than Shi Qionghua. Since the moment she arrived at the Qin Wu City, she knew that her Uncle Yu had lied to her for the first time. She could not find her parents at all in this place. Moreover, for her, this was a wholly new and strange city.
There were two great clans in this city, one was the Xin Clan, and the other was the Yue Clan.
Without finding her parents here, Shi Qionghua did not want to stay here for even a single extra moment. All she wanted to do was to get back to Ning Cheng as early as possible.
It is just that Void Cleaving Talismans were too precious. She had attended many auctions, almost took out all her things and sold them to obtain the things she needed; however, it was still not enough to get even a single Void Cleaving Talisman.
In desperation, she could only turn to Yue Clan’s Yue Yangzhi. Yue Yangzhi was the T
alisman Grandmaster closest in skill for potentially refining the Void Cleaving Talisman. It was also precisely because of such an ability that she wanted to enlist the help of Yue Yangzhi to help her refine a Void Cleaving Talisman.
Unfortunately, no matter how much material she provided them, let alone a Void Cleaving Talisman, she did not even obtain a single Escape Talisman. Every time she demanded an answer from the Yue Clan, only a single phrase was what she received. That Grandmaster Yangzhi was still the middle of the refinement and that the Void Cleaving Talisman should be finished refining soon.
In this way, Shi Qionghua continually collected a variety of precious materials and handed them over to the people of the Yue Clan, all to help Yue Yangzhi practice his refinement techniques and improve his level of refining.
Shi Qionghua knew that this definitely was not a solution; however, if she wanted to leave this place, then apart from seeking help from the Yue Clan, she really could not find any other way. She inherently was not a ruthless person. If replaced with Ning Cheng, he would have already pounded down their doors at such behaviour or at the very least made the opposite party take out the appropriate number of Spirit Stones.
Despite her growing anxiety, she still steadily looked for various Advanced Level Materials.
In her heart, she hoped that one day the Yue Clan could successfully refine the Void Cleaving Talisman and give one to her. She did not think of using any tricks; she knew that if she ended up offending the Yue Clan, it was tantamount to sealing the road ahead of her. Moreover, her desperate desire to return to Ning Cheng’s side made her afraid to offend the Yue Clan’s Talisman Grandmaster. As for solving problems through slaughter, she did not even think about it for a moment.
……
“Ha-Ha….” In the most luxurious Immortal Cave within the Yue Clan, wild laughter suddenly erupted, and a middle-aged man wearing a traditional Chinese robe walked out of the Immortal Cave.
“Uncle Master Yangzhi……” A youth, who was guarding the outside of the Immortal Cave, on seeing this man in traditional Chinese robe coming out, quickly came forward to greet him.
“Inform the Clan Head immediately, I have something important to announce.” This person from the Yue Clan, wearing the traditional Chinese robes, was the Premier Talisman Refining Grandmaster, Yue Yangzhi. At this moment, he was in an excellent mood.
“Yes.” The youth gave a curt reply and quickly left.
……
After half an incense stick worth of time, more than a dozen essential figures filled the Yue Clan’s ancestral hall.
Sitting at the seat of honour was a black-haired old man, with eyes showing unconcealable joy. It felt as if he was just bursting to announce something.
“Today, I want to take this opportunity to announce one of the most important and also the most celebration-worthy news.” The black-haired old man looked at the rest of the people and finally could not help but speak up with an excitement-filled voice.
The Yue Clan’s Ancestral Hall remained silent, as all the people seated inside were patiently waiting for the old man to announce the important thing that needed such pomp and celebration.
“My Yue Clan has always held the title of the most formidable Talisman Clan within the Ink Essence Star’s history. Moreover, we also produced many powerhouses from the clan that could split apart the Planar Boundary and enter the Starry Sky. However, in the last two thousand years, my Yue Clan’s top geniuses can no longer cope with the geniuses of the past. Not to mention a Tier 9 Grandmaster, even a Tier 7 Talisman Grandmaster is someone rare……”
Speaking until here, the black haired old man stood up and waved his hands as if he just could not wait to make the announcement, “However, everything changed today. My Yue Clan has finally produced a Tier 9 Talisman Grandmaster. Yes, it is Yangzhi. Yangzhi finally managed to refine the Rank 9 Void Cleaving Talisman….”
Reaching this point, the black-haired old man immediately stopped speaking. He did not need to continue. At the same time, the ancestral hall also burst into loud conversations. For a while, the hall resounded with various exciting voices indicating the admirations and aspirations of the crowd.
Everyone within the ancestral hall knew about the importance of someone who could refine Void Cleaving Talismans within the Ink Essence Star.
The Ink Essence Star’s laws also suffered from imperfections; however, it was not an inherently broken world. As such, there was no Heaven’s Way in the Ink Essence Star that led to the starry skies. After cultivating to a certain extent, whether by relying on the power of Void Warships or relying on one’s own cultivation, one could still leave the Ink Essence Star. However, such people were extremely few throughout the history of the star. In other words, if one wished to exit this world, then one had no choice but to depend on the aid provided by the Void Cleaving Talisman.
Only by using the Void Cleaving Talisman to split apart the Ink Essence Star’s Planar Boundary, would one finally enter the lowest level of Void and then theoretically make their way into the Starry Sky to seek life.

A joyous atmosphere began filling up all the corners of the ancestral hall. How many cultivators within the Ink Essence Star needed the Void Cleaving Talisman? Conceivably, each Void Cleaving Talisman produced by the Yue Clan had the potential to sell at sky-high prices in the future. Consequently, countless cultivators would also come running to the Qin Wu City to purchase the Void Cleaving Talisman from the Yue Clan.
“We can’t forget to give a Void Cleaving Talisman to that woman surnamed Shi.” A Yue Clan Elder suddenly spoke up. He knew that the primary reason that Yue Clan’s Yue Yangzhi could rise to the level of a Tier 9 Talisman Grandmaster was undoubtedly due to the significant material help provided by this female cultivator. The more important thing was that the cultivation of this female cultivator by the name Shi Qionghua was genuinely terrifying.
Yue Yangzhi showed a faint smile and spoke up softly, “A Void Cleaving Talisman has a sky-high price within the Ink Essence Star. Moreover, that woman wants an Advanced-level Void Cleaving Talisman. That kind of Void Cleaving Talisman is not something that I can refine currently…..”
Yue Yangzhi did not continue talking; however, the people here already understood what he meant. The black-haired old man also nodded and spoke, “What Yangzhi has said is undoubtedly correct. Every Void Cleaving Talisman is extremely valuable. We can’t just give it away casually.”
“However, that woman’s cultivation is really too high. Even within the Ink Essence Star, there are only a very few people more, if not equally, powerful than her. In case…..” The elder, who had just voiced his concerns previously, on hearing the words of the black-haired old man, spoke up in an even more worried tone.
Yue Yangzhi then spoke with a cold smile, “My Yue Clan is the premier clan in the entire Ink Essence Star. I even advanced to the realm of Tier 9 Talisman Grandmasters. How could we feel fear from a puny female cultivator? I heard that she has an ancient copper coin, the Treasure Fall Copper Coin, which is actually a mighty treasure from the ancient times. I’m afraid that even if we sold out our entire Yue Clan, we could never buy even a small piece of this copper coin…..”
Just when the elder was about to raise a counter, the black-haired old man immediately put down his hand with an audible pat and spoke, “That female cultivator should be an outsider to this place. What she wishes for, most likely, is to leave the Ink Essence Star. In any case, I definitely agree to nephew Yangzhi’s suggestion. Let that female cultivator come to my Yue Clan. Whether she agrees to not, my Yue Clan must obtain that Treasure Fall Copper Coin. Afterwards, Yangzhi can then use the Treasure Fall Copper Coin, if he wishes to.”
Yue Yangzhi on hearing
the words of the black-haired old man felt very satisfied. It had not been just a day or two since he started coveting Shi Qionghua’s Treasure Fall Copper Coin. After he advanced to the Tier 9 Talisman Grandmaster, he had carefully refined many Attack-type Talismans to deal with Shi Qionghua. Even if the Yue Clan did not support him, he would have still went ahead to grab the copper coin from Shi Qionghua.
As long as he obtained the copper coin, he would have another level of protection for himself when he decided to step into the Void in the future. No matter the price that he had to pay, he had to get that copper coin.
……
Shi Qionghua did not feel much surprised when she learned that Yue Yangzhi had advanced to the level of a Tier 9 Talisman Grandmaster. She anyway had indulged continuously in the thought of obtaining a Void Cleaving Talisman through the Yue Clan. Even if she could not receive the Void Cleaving Talisman, she at least had to get a Space Cleaving Talisman. Otherwise, she would have never continued to look for materials for the Yue Clan. In any case, whether it was the Space Cleaving Talisman or the Void Cleaving Talisman, it was the same for her.
Shi Qionghua had just arrived at the Yue Clan when she immediately felt that something had taken a turn for the worse. Although she and Ning Cheng had spent a short time together, Ning Cheng’s way of doing things had imperceptibly influenced her mind. As such, her mind always remained in a state of readiness. Therefore, she only stood in the Yue Clan’s courtyard and did not go in.
However, without even the need of her coming in, dozens of cultivators suddenly came out and completely blocked the way to Yue Clan’s courtyard at this moment.
“Yue Yangzhi, I just want a Void Cleaving Talisman. Aren’t you going too far?” Shi Qionghua remained calm and did not show any indication of panic.
“Ha-Ha….” Yue Yangzhi laughed, “Shi Qionghua, you
