Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Mo Li took a deep breath, her hands forming an ancient hand seal, and the Shadow Law began to surge around her like a tide; those characters suspended in the void, constantly rising and sinking, seemed to respond to some kind of summons, gathering toward her one after another.

The entire process lasted roughly the time of one incense stick.

When the final character sank into the space between her brows, the shadows throughout the underground space abruptly contracted.

"A complete Great Dao level technique."

Mo Li opened her eyes, her tone carrying a trace of rare excitement: "As expected, it contains an entire set of realm divisions completely different from the outside world's cultivation system, five realms in total.

And..."

She paused, turning her head to look at everyone: "This technique requires no spiritual energy, no laws, not even a Divine Kingdom — its foundation lies in Eternal Night itself!"

As these words fell, everyone fell silent for several breaths.

The state described by the Eternal Night Scripture allows one to move freely within the Eternal Night Ruins.

Hundred Li Hong spoke up: "Dao Friend Mo, although this technique primarily cultivates Eternal Night power, it has points of connection with your Shadow Law.

Shadow itself is a blurred zone between existence and non-existence, and the state of the Eternal Night Ruins is logically connected to it.

You cultivating it should not produce any conflict on the level of laws."

Mo Li nodded lightly; she had also realized this point.

And at the first moment, Xu Zhangqing had already, through his Divine Sense, branded the entire contents of the Eternal Night Scripture into his mind.

Consuming a tiny bit of lifespan, the Shen Nong System listed out the entire technique's framework, realms, effects, and principles.

At this glance, his heart violently trembled.

The core of the Eternal Night Scripture lies not in cultivating Eternal Night power itself, but in an extremely critical characteristic.

Once the Eternal Night Avatar is perfected, the cultivator is no longer bound by any law system.

The Five Elements Laws, Space-Time Laws, Karma Laws, even the Fate Laws — all lose their effect before Eternal Night.

Because Eternal Night does not belong to any law system; it is the endpoint of all laws.

Instantly, Xu Zhangqing thought of the Creation Heavenly Scripture.

The ninth layer of the Creation Heavenly Scripture is named Transcendence.

Using Creation Power to reshape the timeline, thereby breaking free from the constraints of the River of Time.

The difficulty goes without saying, and even if successful, a risk still exists.

After breaking free from the River of Time, one will be directly exposed beneath the will of the Heavenly Dao.

But what if the Eternal Night Scripture and the Creation Heavenly Scripture were fused?

Eternal Night power allows the cultivator to stand outside of time.

Transcendence allows the cultivator to break free from the River of Time.

The two simply complement each other perfectly.

Eternal Night power resists backlash on the law level.

Creation Power accomplishes the reshaping on the timeline.

Possessing both Eternal Night's freedom from constraints and Creation's active transcendence.

Walking either of these two paths alone would likely be nine deaths and one life.

But if walked simultaneously, the possibility of success is actually much higher than walking either alone.

However, this idea is too bold.

So bold that even Xu Zhangqing was startled.

Soon, he temporarily pressed this thought back into the bottom of his heart.

Fusing two Great Dao level techniques — this is not something that can be accomplished by just patting one's head.

It requires a large amount of deduction and preparation, especially an environment free from disturbance.

The current Eternal Night Ruins obviously do not possess this condition.

However, once this direction is verified as feasible, it will far surpass any opportunity or fortuitous encounter.

When he recovered from his shock, everyone was discussing another issue.

Hundred Li Hong hugged his arms, his tone carrying a trace of caution: "Have you all thought about why the Eternal Night Scripture would happen to be hidden directly beneath the Moonlight Holy Tree?

One above, one below; one yin, one yang.

One is the purest Moonlight radiance, the other the most extreme Eternal Night Dao.

This does not look like a coincidence!"

Jin Buhuan murmured: "The Moonlight Holy Tree is a thing of utmost purity; it has a natural repulsion toward Eternal Night power.

But conversely, if a Great Power wanted to conceal a Great Dao technique of the Eternal Night system, placing it directly beneath the Moonlight Holy Tree would be the safest choice.

The Moonlight Holy Tree's aura acts like a lid, pressing down all the fluctuations below; the outside world can hardly sense them.

This time we took away the Moonlight Holy Tree, equivalent to lifting the lid open.

Coupled with Dao Friend Mo's particular sensitivity to shadows, that was how it was discovered."

Hundred Li Hong shook his head, speaking in a deep voice: "What I worry about is not this, but the person capable of using such a method to conceal a technique — their cultivation would not be below the Mahayana Stage!"

Luo Qinghan, after hearing this, showed little change on her face, and said blandly: "This is the Eternal Night Ruins; both things are ownerless objects.

We found them by our own ability; we took them, so we took them.

As for who the original owner was, how high their cultivation — that is a matter for after we leave, not something to worry about right now."

Hundred Li Hong blinked: "Second Senior Sister means, when the sky falls, let Master prop it up?"

"Otherwise?"

Luo Qinghan glanced at him, righteously declaring: "He took nine disciples, isn't it precisely so that at the critical moment they can stand out and shoulder the burden?

We've shouldered it for so many years; occasionally letting Master shoulder it once is only right and proper!"

Everyone exchanged a glance, nearly laughing out loud.

These words, only Luo Qinghan dares to say them.

And only in the Eternal Night Ruins, a place where even a Dao Venerable cannot probe into, can one speak so bluntly.

Xu Zhangqing laughed from the side: "Senior Sister is right; we've come all this way with great difficulty, take more things back, and Master will surely be pleased."

Immediately, everyone withdrew from the underground space.

After the Moonlight Holy Tree was taken away, the Dead Silence Power in this area began to surge in again.

The silver moss on the Ground withered at a speed visible to the Naked Eye.

Those few small white flowers also turned to dust within a few Breaths.

It won't be long before this place, like other areas, will be filled with Dead Silence Power.

"Go that way!"

After Luo Qinghan confirmed a direction, the team continued advancing toward the depths of the Eternal Night Ruins.

The journey ahead was considerably more difficult than before.

The deeper they went, the more Space Folds there were in the Eternal Night Ruins.

Often while walking, the ground beneath their feet would suddenly flip upward, and the whole team was thrown in another direction by Space Folding.

The Night Walkers encountered along the way were also More and More numerous.

And both density and cultivation level were a large notch higher than the Outer Perimeter.

The Outer Perimeter Night Walkers, Most were merely Spirit Transformation tier, wandering in groups of three or five.

While the Night Walkers here, any single one pulled out is at the Void Refinement standard; they act with clear coordination, even temporarily changing formation in Battle Middle.

Each acts extremely seasoned, completely unlike mindless Walking Corpses.

However, for the current Xu Zhangqing and the others, it's not much of a problem.

Not to mention the others, just one Creation Green Lotus can Solve these Fellows.

Suddenly, a burst of urgent movement came from the darkness ahead.

Tap tap tap~

"Careful!"

"What monster now?"

"These Fellows never end!"

Xu Zhangqing and the others all became Alert, even showing displeasure.

Not Long After, a somewhat bedraggled figure rushed out from the darkness.

This was a female cultivator in a cyan robe, realm fluctuation roughly at Void Refinement; a wound deep enough to show bone on her left arm, the wound's Edge still emitting a layer of Black Qi.

From this it could be seen, she had just experienced a fierce battle!
