Pu Yinxiang sighed in secret before standing up and wanting to leave. The sect master wanted to use her disciple for dual cultivation to make her disciple’s wedding dress work for him. But she didn’t want to stay here and watch. Although she knew that she was thinking about her disciple, Chuman wouldn’t understand it, nor would she even try to understand.
Zhai Chuman trembled all over. She would never allow this to happen. Her cultivation method might be a wedding dress, but she would never use it for a sect master of such a sect. When she realised what Traceless Immortal Pond did, she only had endless disappointment filling up her heart.
She was a person with principles. If this weren’t the case, she would have already killed Ning Cheng in Traceless Gate. Plus, she would have also taken away the so-called Traceless Gate’s directional-assistance artefact from Ning Cheng’s dead body.
But not only did she not do such a thing, she even prevented Bian Zhuo from doing it. Even without considering the spirit grasses on Ning Cheng, she had not demanded it. Replaced with other cultivators, they most likely wouldn’t do such a thing.
When she advanced to the Eternal Realm, she vaguely felt that there was something wrong with her cultivation method. Therefore, every time she went into secluded cultivation, she would subconsciously change her cultivation method slightly according to her body. In truth, she had achieved something significant over the years. If given a bit more time, she would have changed this Wedding Dress Cultivation Method into a cultivation method unique to herself. She wouldn’t need to consummate with someone.
But if this sect master wanted to dual cultivate with her, all of her efforts would turn to dust.
But how could she object to it? Sect Master had saved her life, and everything she had become today had all come from Traceless Immortal Pond.
“Boom….” A horrifying explosion erupted somewhere outside that shook the whole room, and Wu Yuankong stood up with a shocked face. After just a breath, his figure flashed and disappeared from the room.
Something went wrong within Traceless Immortal Pond,
Pu Yinxiang and Zhai Chuman immediately understood. However, Zhai Chuman didn’t care about what happened to Traceless Immortal Pond anymore, and even Pu Yinxiang also didn’t care too much about it. Moreover, when it came to Traceless Immortal Pond, one could say that it was the largest sect within the Demon Domain. As such, no matter what happened inside it, it wouldn’t leak outside.
“Master, why are you doing this?” Zhai Chuman looked at Pu Yinxiang and spoke slowly.
Pu Yinxiang sighed. Her eyes, however, didn’t show any signs of guilt. Rather, it had a trace of helplessness in it. “Chuman, believe in your master’s words. You’ll only have better benefits after dual cultivating with the sect master.”
As she watched her master walk out of the room, Zhai Chuman’s eyes flashed with a trace of sadness. She had remained trapped within the Traceless Gate for many years. Even then, she had always regarded her master with the utmost respect in her heart. One could even say that without her master, the world wouldn’t have any Zhai Chuman. She treated and respected her master even more than a parent.
As the sounds and roars of explosions outside grew louder and louder, Zhai Chuman suddenly started to have some expectations in her heart. She couldn’t understand this feeling, so she immediately decided to come out and investigate.
Perhaps Wu Yuankong walked out of this room too fast and didn’t care about activating his cave’s restrictions. Or maybe, Wu Yuankong didn’t worry about Zhai Chuman leaving Traceless Immortal Pond at all. Perhaps without his permission, no one could casually leave Traceless Immortal Pond.
“Who are you?” As soon as Zhai Chuman came out, she heard the horrifying shout of her sect master and suddenly froze.
Traceless Immortal Pond’s beautiful and scenic Traceless Public Square had turned into ruins. Even the several fairyland-like void waterfalls had reduced to pieces. At the same time, corpses of cultivators appeared on the messy public square. Among these fallen cultivators, she even saw the body of the late-stage Eternal elder of her sect, Jiao Yang, who had come to greet her.
Elder Qian Song also had a turbulent aura around her. She sat at the edge of the messy public square and stared at Ning Cheng blankly. It felt as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything before falling to the ground without any breath.
If this weren’t terrifying enough, something else made Zhai Chuman’s face even paler. Eight of the nine Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillars that symbolised the Traceless Immortal Pond had already collapsed. No wonder she heard all those terrifying explosions a few moments ago. From the looks of it, someone had thoroughly smashed apart eight of the nine Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillars of Traceless Immortal Pond.
One had to know that these nine Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillars symbolised the status of Traceless Immortal Pond. No other sect in the four grand starry skies had these Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillars, nor could any other sect afford to create it.
A calm-faced young man wearing a blue robe stood in between the ruins of the Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillars and the debris strewn across the public square. He replied with a flat tone, “My name is Ning Cheng.”
“Ning Cheng, what hate exists between my Traceless Immortal Pond and you? You destroyed all the Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillars of my Traceless Immortal Pond, you……” Wu Yuankong’s face paled with anger, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had never imagined that Ning Cheng was the cultivator who created such a mess within his Traceless Immortal Pond.
Ning Cheng only showed a slight smile, and the Celestial Rainbow Purgatory Spear in his hand shot out. The violent celestial essence within the long spear quickly blasted through the surrounding space. From this, it was clear that the spacial distance had become meaningless in front of this shot. It gave people the feeling that this spear could split apart space directly.
The Celestial Rainbow Purgatory Spear gathered the violent celestial essence and blasted towards the only remaining Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillar. It forced another explosion resulting in the complete collapse of the pillar.
“Boom……” The last Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillar collapsed completely and crumbled to dust all over the ground.
Ning Cheng held the Celestial Rainbow Purgatory Spear once again and looked at Wu Yuankong, who kept trembling with anger. He then spoke with a calm voice, “Only now did I destroy all the Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillars of your Traceless Immortal Pond. You were wrong.”

The raws do mention the name as ‘
– Wedding Dress’. According to what I found, a woman wears a wedding dress just once in her life. Only for her husband on the wedding day. However, in modern times, the word ‘
’ is sometimes used as a slang for virgin prostitutes in certain regions. If you feel that the explanation is wrong, then please do point it out so that I can correct it for the rest of our readers. As a non-native Chinese translator, it is sometimes difficult to accurately translate certain words/phrases into English. I hope you understand.

“Him?” Zhai Chuman looked at Ning Cheng in shock.
Wasn’t this the cultivator who brought her out of the Traceless Gate?
Why would Ning Cheng attack the Traceless Immortal Pond?
Zhai Chuman’s heart currently felt like a shattered mirror. She wouldn’t have understood Ning Cheng’s actions it if it had happened a few moments ago. But now she fully understood why Ning Cheng attacked. Yet, her heart raged with all kinds of conflicting feelings. Traceless Immortal Sect was her sect, her home, a place where she lived for as long as she could r
emember. But facing Ning Cheng who tore through her Traceless Immortal Pond, and even killed so many cultivators, she couldn’t feel any anger even if she wanted.
The retribution of karma, sure enough, would eventually arrive.
Bian Zhuo and Xiong Wuzhi, who rushed out from a distance, also looked at Ning Cheng in disbelief. The two had always thought that Ning Cheng’s cultivation couldn’t compare to theirs, but now they understood that it
indeed
couldn’t compare to theirs. However, it wasn’t Ning Cheng who was far beneath them, but they were the ones far beneath Ning Cheng.
Bian Zhuo even felt cold sweat trickling down his back. He suddenly recalled the incident of Ning Cheng poaching those spirit grasses from the medicine garden. If Chuman hadn’t stopped him, he would have already turned into a dead soul under Ning Cheng’s spear.
Xiong Wuzhi also understood what Ning Cheng meant with his previous words about teaching Bian Zhuo a lesson. He had initially thought that Ning Cheng was only bragging, but now he understood that Ning Cheng wasn’t bragging at all, rather just stating a fact.
“I know, you’re the Sect Master of Culmination’s Mysterious Yellow Sect……” Pu Yinxiang exclaimed in surprise.
The only reason she had heard of Ning Cheng was due to the auction in Devil Domain. It is because Traceless Immortal Pond had auctioned off a Starry Sky Radish Grass there.
At that time, there seemed to be a cultivator named Ning Cheng, who taught a lesson to the three Island Masters of Spirit Devil Island. Even Qiao Jierui couldn’t deal with him. It’s just that she had never seen Ning Cheng before. Plus, Ning Cheng’s Culmination Grand Starry Sky and Traceless Immortal Pond were also too far away from each other. Moreover, Ning Cheng also had no connection with Traceless Immortal Pond. As such, she never thought that Ning Cheng would come to the Traceless Immortal Pond, let alone wreak such havoc.
“Brother Ning. You….” Xiong Wuzhi still asked in doubt. In his opinion, even if Ning Cheng had very powerful cultivation, he wouldn’t ruin a sect for no reason.
Ning Cheng showed a smile before speaking, “This sect is nothing but a black shop. Knowing that I might have obtained some treasures, they wanted to kill me and swallow my ring. Since the establishment of Traceless Immortal Pond till now, I wonder how many wronged souls have fallen to their hands. Regardless of if those wronged souls had any wealth, everything they had turned into resources for their black shop.”
“How could Traceless Immortal Pond be such a sect!?” Xiong Wuzhi said in shock before turning to look at Zhai Chuman in disbelief.
Zhai Chuman could feel Xiong Wuzhi’s disbelief and lowered her head in shame. Even she felt ashamed of being a part of such a sect.
Seeing Zhai Chuman’s expression, how could Xiong Wuzhi not understand. He immediately raised his hand and brought out a weapon before speaking. “Brother Ning Cheng, I, Xiong Wuzhi, like you, look down on such trashy sects the most. Please count on my help today.”
“Count me in too.” Bian Zhuo also brought out his black sword and came over, which made Ning Cheng feel a little strange.
Ning Cheng didn’t place any value on Bian Zhuo, but he had a good impression of Xiong Wuzhi.
Seeing her two good friends supporting Ning Cheng, Zhai Chuman lowered her head even more and didn’t say anything. No matter what conflicting feelings she had right now, she couldn’t let herself betray her sect.
Wu Yuankong’s anger slowly calmed down. Even if he turned angrier, it wouldn’t bring back the nine destroyed Heaven Connecting Array Entrance Pillars. Not just that, but even the Traceless Immortal Pond’s Traceless Public Square, the void waterfalls, and the other magnificent buildings also cannot be recovered.
The only thing he could, no,
had
to do was to kill this cultivator in front of him.
So what if he was the Sect Master of the Mysterious Yellow Sect?
Even if Demon Domain’s Heavenly Emperor Tianji came here, Wu Yuankong could still kill him. As for the two ants supporting Ning Cheng, he didn’t take them seriously at all.
Wu Yuankong stood over the public square ruined by Ning Cheng and took a step forward. At the same time, his domain’s imposing manner instantly spread out with him at the centre.
As Wu Yuankong’s foot fell to the ground, the piles of rubble around him automatically scattered into the void. And by the time his foot firmly landed on the ground, everything around his body got swept clean, just like a blast of time wheel.
Xiong Wuzhi and Bian Zhuo, who stood relatively far away from Ning Cheng and Wu Yuankong, couldn’t even stand straight. Under Wu Yuankong’s power, they understood that they couldn’t help Ning Cheng at all and had to retreat quickly.
Only when they retreated to the edge of Wu Yuankong’s domain did they stop in shock. They couldn’t even stand within Wu Yuankong’s domain. If they had to fight against Wu Yuankong right now, they would undoubtedly turn into corpses in an instant.
“He’s too strong.” Bian Zhuo murmured.
Xiong Wuzhi took in a deep breath but didn’t answer. He knew that Bian Zhuo wasn’t talking about Wu Yuankong, but Ning Cheng. Under such an imposing manner, they had no other choice but to retreat to the edge of Wu Yuankong’s domain. Yet, Ning Cheng, who stood right in front of Wu Yuankong, didn’t even move half a step.
Only his blue robe flapped around in the domain confrontation between the two. Moreover, this flapping wasn’t something resulting from Wu Yuankong’s domain suppression. It was truly a random event, like a cloth dancing around in fierce winds. From this, everyone understood that the imposing manner of Ning Cheng’s domain didn’t lose out to Wu Yuankong.
“You are very strong. You’re the strongest person I have ever seen. Even Zhangkang Tianji isn’t as good as you. Unfortunately, you ruined my Traceless Immortal Pond, so I have no other choice but to ruin you.” Wu Yuankong stared at Ning Cheng and spoke with a cold voice. He could sense the imposing manner of Ning Cheng’s domain and understood that his domain’s imposing manner couldn’t provide him with an advantage over Ning Cheng’s domain. However, he believed that Ning Cheng, like him, was doing his best. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight against his domain’s imposing manner.
Ning Cheng replied with a calm voice, “You’re indeed better than Zhangkang Tianji, but among the opponents I’ve fought, you can’t even rank among the top three. As for ruining me, you should have at least waited to say that after you fall asleep.”
Ning Cheng didn’t lie. Ninth Prince, the red-haired Hong Lun, the eyeless cultivator, or even Chuan Xinlou, all of them were much stronger than Wu Yuankong. If he had to make a ranking of his opponents so far, Wu Yuankong wouldn’t come anywhere near the top three. At best, Wu Yuankong was only slightly worse than Qiao Jierui. When Ning Cheng was still in the Life and Death Realm, he could already defeat Qiao Jierui and even escape at will. Now that Ning Cheng advanced to the Eternal Realm, Wu Yuankong truly wasn’t someone he would take seriously.
“I hope that your methods are as powerful as your mouth. Otherwise, you will regret the things you did to my Traceless Immortal Pond today.” After Wu Yuankong finished speaking, his domain’s imposing manner came crashing down, and a glaring white circle surrounded Ning Cheng.
After Wu Yuankong’s glaring white circle appeared, the few people standing in the distance only saw a burst of white glare before feeling as if an endless flood had rolled in. As for what this white circle was, no one could say for sure, as the moment it appeared, Ning Cheng and Wu Yuankong disappeared from their view.
As the glaring white light appeared around Ning Cheng’s domain, Ning Cheng’s domain shrank a bit with a creak. A moment later, a seemingly endless flood of water covered him and his domain.
“Endless Fantasy Sea….” Wu Yuankong stood on the edge of the while circle like a huge statue waving at the sky.
As his waving hand came down, the endless ocean water suddenly rose into the air, trapping Ning Cheng from all dir
ections. Moreover, waves of seawater appeared on the surface, with each over a hundred feet high.
This ocean not only locked space but also wanted to seal Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness and celestial essence. But just when the seemingly infinite ocean closed the area around Ning Cheng, the sea of cascading waves overturned and the raging seawater came crashing down.
It felt as if anything blocking the violent waves falling from the sky would get crushed into nothingness.
Ning Cheng didn’t move a muscle. Since Wu Yuankong couldn’t suppress his domain, how could Wu Yuankong’s Fantasy Sea Spirit Technique smash him into nothingness?
Even the Celestial Rainbow Purgatory Spear didn’t move initially. Instead, it gathered waves of spear patterns. Even without Ning Cheng moving a muscle, these spear patterns then suddenly blasted out with the spear, and a setting sun appeared at the end of the overturned ocean that came crashing down.
Spirit Technique, Sunset’s Twilight.
The waves crashing down, suddenly paused. Wu Yuankong, who stood at the end of the overturned ocean, had nothing but shock in his eyes. All he saw and felt was stillness around him.
No one knew better than him what kind of spirit technique Ning Cheng had displayed. Despite cultivating to this day, he had never seen a single Laws of Time-related spirit technique, but he saw one today. It truly was a Laws of Time-related spirit technique; only a Laws of Time-related spirit technique could shock him this much.
As the sun sets, dusk arrives.
Coupled with the now-paused endless rolling waves, Wu Yuankong also saw a glimpse of what he yearned for till now. At this moment, he wanted to stay still and stop fighting to see more of what he desired. A thought emerged in his conscious mind that no matter how hard he struggled, in the end, his life was just like a sunset, an experience that would eventually come to an end.
No, this was not just a Laws of Time-related spirit technique; this spirit technique also had a hint of conception in it that influenced one’s state of mind.
