Ning Cheng looked at Jiang Man in puzzlement, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, there is no one else here. Your couple’s cultivation is far superior to mine, so since you have determined that I have the Five Elements Chaos Qi in me, why didn’t you forcefully snatch it? Instead, you chose to exchange it with me?”
Despite what he said, Ning Cheng had some doubts as to what Jiang Man would come up with to exchange with him. The Five Elemental Chaos Qi was not an ordinary item, it was not something that could be exchanged with just anything.
Jiang Man’s face straightened after hearing Ning Cheng’s words, “Fellow Daoist Ning, could it be that when you meet a cultivator with a lower cultivation level than yours and you want something from him, you would choose to snatch it?”
Ning Cheng smiled, “I have my own principles of dealing with things, I am not so bad as to rob someone else’s things. Could it be that the two of you have the same principles of dealing with things as I do?”
Jiang Man said with admiration on his face, “There are indeed not many cultivators like Fellow Daoist Ning who have their own principles, I cultivate the Dao of Cause and Effect. Everything has a cause and effect. If I rob Fellow Daoist Ning today, someone will rob me in the future. Karma and heaven and earth, the cycle of retribution.”
Ning Cheng was instantly moved, as a Dao Shaping Saint Emperor and having been in the Tai Su Realm for such a long time, he had naturally heard of the Dao of Cause and Effect. This was definitely one of the most powerful dao in heaven and earth, and all ten* of the dao in the world were entwined with cause and effect. The reason why his Returning One Dao was not entangled by cause and effect was not because he was strong, but because his Xuanhuang Pearl was strong.
An inexplicable thought suddenly appeared in Ning Cheng’s consciousness, he possessed the Xuanhuang Pearl and would perhaps become supremely strong in the future, did that mean that there was also a cause and effect between him and the Xuanhuang Pearl? It was just that the karma between him and the Xuanhuang Pearl was so supreme that it surpassed all other karmas.
Ning Cheng quickly put such thoughts aside and said with a cupped fist, “I have heard that the Dao of Cause and Effect is the top most supreme dao in the world, congratulations Brother Jiang.”
Jiang Man shook his head with a bitter smile, “I’m just putting gold on my face. Although I say I cultivate the Dao of Cause and Effect, up until now, I haven’t touched the edge of the Dao of Cause and Effect.”
Ning Cheng asked in disbelief. “Brother Jiang should be a cultivator of the Nurtured Dao, right? As a Nurtured Dao realm Saint Emperor, could it be that Brother Jiang has not even touched the edge of the Cause and Effect Dao?”
Jiang Man asked as he looked at Ning Cheng very seriously. “Has Fellow Daoist Ning heard of the Ten Great Divine Powers among the Vast Universe?”
Ning Cheng remembered what he had heard before and immediately said, “Isn’t it true that Taiji has Yin and Yang, Tai Su has Divine Thunder, Tai Shi has Divine Light, Tai Chu has Divine Pattern, and Tai Yi is yet invisible?”
“Fellow Daoist Ning is only partially correct, although I don’t know all of the ten divine powers either, I know that the Taiji Yin Yang divine power and the Tai Su divine Lightning divine power are not among the ten divine powers.” Jiang Man said flatly.
Ning Cheng knew nothing about this aspect, and now that Jiang Man had mentioned it, he hurriedly asked, “Please also enlighten me, Brother Jiang.”
Jiang Man said in a deep voice. “I don’t know about the First Divine Ability and the Second Divine Ability, I know that the Third Divine Ability is Tai Yi Invisible, and the Cause and Effect Divine Ability ranks fourth.”
Ning Cheng had always thought that since the Tai Yi Realm was the first of the five realms, the Tai Yi Formless divine Ability should also be the first divine Ability. Little did he know that according to what Jiang Man said, the Tai Yi Formless divine Ability was only ranked third.
“What about the rest of the great divine abilities?” Ning Cheng asked again.
Jiang Man sighed, “Even though I cultivate the Causal Dao, I only know of the Causal Divine Ability by its mighty name, and even after comprehending it until now, I have not gained anything halfway. As for the fifth divine power among the ten divine powers, I am just as ignorant of what it is. But I know all six, seven and eight. The sixth divine ability is the Reincarnation divine ability, the seventh divine ability is the Tai Su divine pattern, and the eighth divine ability is the Tai Shi divine light.”
Ning Cheng asked in amazement. “Fellow Daoist Jiang, as far as I know the Reincarnation divine Aptitude is only the seventh bridge of the Seven Bridges divine Aptitude, how come the Reincarnation divine Aptitude has become the sixth divine Aptitude while the Seven Bridges divine Aptitude is not?”
Because he was stunned by the ten divine abilities, Ning Cheng did not hear what Jiang Man meant beyond his words. That was that he, Jiang Man, could enlighten the Cause and Effect Divine Ability, so he naturally had the Cause and Effect Divine Ability Dao in his hands.
Jiang Man smiled and said, “I don’t really understand this, I know that all of this was told to me by senior. Maybe the Seven Bridges Divine Path is at the ninth divine path, or maybe the tenth divine path.”
Ning Cheng did not ask any more questions. He knew that since the Reincarnation Divine Path was singled out and placed on the sixth Divine Path, then the Seven Bridges Divine Path would definitely not be in the top ten.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang. I do have a little bit of the Five Elements Chaos Qi. It’s just that even if I were to sell it to Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Jiang wouldn’t have anything to put it in.” Ning Cheng finally answered Jiang Man’s words positively. This person, Jiang Man, was worthy of his trade.
Ning Cheng also did not say how much of the Five Elements Chaos Qi he needed in exchange, he was clear that since Jiang Man was cultivating the Dao of Cause and Effect, he would not treat him poorly.
Jiang Man took out a black slip made of an unknown material and handed it to Ning Cheng, saying, “Fellow Daoist Ning, this is the Dao of Cause and Effect slip I obtained, which contains the Cause and Effect divine ability. I would like to lend this Dao slip to Brother Ning for ten thousand years of enlightenment in exchange for a trace of Brother Ning’s Fire Attribute Chaos Qi.”
“Brother Manchu ……,” Mu Yueping on the side cried out in amazement when she saw Jiang Man take out the black jade slip. She knew that this was the most valuable thing Jiang Man had on him.
Ning Cheng looked at this black Dao jane in Jiang Man’s hand somewhat dumbfounded, if this was really a Dao jane of cause and effect, then this trace of his Fire Origin Chaos Qi was far from enough to exchange. Even if there was a time limit, it would not be enough. Just now, Jiang Man had said that the Cause and Effect Dao was the fourth greatest divine ability in the entire vast universe.
Jiang Man waved his hand at Mu Yue Ping and said to Ning Cheng with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Ning, I cultivate the Great Dao of Cause and Effect because of this Dao Slip. The origin of this Dao slip is untraceable, but what I can say for sure is that this Dao slip contains the Great Divine Ability of Cause and Effect. However, I am not qualified, so I have been studying it for tens of thousands of years, but I have not been able to obtain it. I have traded this Dao Jie for ten thousand years for a trace of Daoist Ning’s Fire Attribute Chaos Qi, so I have taken advantage of it.”
Ning Cheng did not accept the Dao Jie, but asked in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, then how will I return this Dao Jie to you after ten thousand years?”
Jiang Man was satisfied with Ning Cheng’s words and nodded, “I cultivate the Cause and Effect divine Aptitude, and this Dao Jie has one of my cause and effect imprints in it. After ten thousand years, this Dao Jie will automatically escape from Brother Ning’s hands and return to me.”
A smile appeared at the corner of Ning Cheng’s mouth, this Jiang Man was really confident. Was he just confident that he wouldn’t be able to crack his karmic seal in ten thousand years? Besides, even if he couldn’t crack it and threw the Dao Slip into the Xuanhuang Pearl, the Dao Slip wouldn’t escape away.
However, Ning Cheng did not intend to do so, if he could not penetrate the Great Avatar of Cause and Effect even in ten thousand years, it would be useless for him to keep this Dao Slip. Besides, both parties had completed a legitimate transaction, and he would definitely not do such a shameless thing.
“Then how do I hand over the Fire Attribute Chaos Qi to Daoist Jiang?” Ning Cheng appreciated this type of transaction from Jiang Man. This was a completely honest transaction, Jiang Man had not asked him how much Fire Attribute Chaos Qi he wanted, the initiative was all given to him.
Jiang Man said gruffly, “It will take a month to get to the Secret Market from here, Brother Ning just needs to strike a trace of Chaos Qi into my Purple Mansion.”
“Good.” Ning Cheng agreed without hesitation. One month was enough time for Jiang Man to refine this trace of fire attributed Chaos Qi.
“May I ask fellow Daoist Mu what attribute of primary spiritual root he is?” Ning Cheng did not directly strike the fire attribute Chaos Qi, instead, he declared Mu Yue Ping.
Mu Yueping said in a puzzled manner, “I am a primary gold spirit root.”
Ning Cheng immediately said, “How about this, I will exchange a trace of Chaos Qi of the Fire Origin and a trace of Chaos Qi of the Gold Origin for ten thousand years of time for this Dao of Cause and Effect jade of Brother Jiang.”
As soon as Jiang Man heard Ning Cheng’s words, he knew that Ning Cheng did not want to take advantage of him. In fact, he knew that Ning Cheng was not taking advantage of him, the Cause and Effect Great Divine Path was so famous that it was actually too difficult to comprehend it. He said that his qualifications were dull, but in fact, up until now, he had not really seen anyone with better qualifications than him, Jiang Man.
Even he had been unable to penetrate the Great Divine Ability of Cause and Effect for tens of thousands of years, how could Ning Cheng do so?
“Then wouldn’t the two of us ……” Jiang Man was greatly impressed with Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng waved his hand and said, “Fellow Daoist Jiang is polite and I cannot be too petty, Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Mu prepare to receive the Five Elements Chaos Qi.”
“Brother Manchu, I’ll accept it later alright.” Mu Yueping said hurriedly.
As soon as Ning Cheng heard Mu Yueping’s words, he knew what Mu Yueping meant, Mu Yueping was afraid that both of them would get caught up in refining the Five Elements Chaos Qi and be blackmailed by himself.
Jiang Man obviously also understood what Mu Yue Ping meant, and he waved his hand and said, “No need, just trouble Fellow Daoist Ning to protect us while we refine the Five Elemental Chaos Qi.”
After saying this, Jiang Man also took out an orientation jade slip and gave it to Ning Cheng, while at the same time handing over the control of the airship to Ning Cheng.
Jiang Man said this and did these things, one was because he believed in Ning Cheng’s character, and the second was because he believed that even if Ning Cheng had a plan, he could still stop it in time. It was just refining the Five Elements Chaos Qi, it was not like he was in seclusion.
Mu Yue Ping listened to Jiang Man’s words and understood what Jiang Man meant, nodding his head and saying, “Good, then I will trouble Daoist Friend Ning.”
Without more words, Ning Cheng directly took out the Immeasurable Gourd and grabbed out a fire attributed Chaotic Qi in it and slapped it into Jiang Man’s brow. Immediately afterwards, he grabbed out another metallic Chaos Qi and slapped it into Mu Yue Ping’s brow.”
Feeling the Chaos Qi given by Ning Cheng, which was far more than the sliver he said he had, Jiang Man was overjoyed in his heart. Not waiting for him to be grateful to Ning Cheng, the raging fire attribute Chaos Qi rushed into his Violet Mansion, and at this moment, he found himself unable to perform any other actions other than refining this Chaos Qi.”
Jiang Man’s heart sank slightly, the elation he felt just now had long since disappeared as he saw that Mu Yueping, like him, was also completely incapable of standing up and moving.
That meant that if Ning Cheng made a move now, he and Mu Yueping would not have the slightest ability to resist. Ning Cheng had given so much Five Elemental Chaos Qi at once, putting him and his couple in a difficult situation at the same time, so he could not help but be suspicious.
