After two major battles between Tai Su and Tai Yi, the Five Pacific Realm suddenly calmed down. Not only did the Five Pacific Realm calm down, but even this side of the void became incomparably quiet.
Ning Cheng stayed at Mount Tai Su in seclusion, and from time to time, he discussed the Dao with those mixed Yuan powerhouses of the Yongwang Sect, and his cultivation became even more and more solid. Coupled with the fact that the Divine Spirit Yuan Qi of Mount Tai Su was also very dense, his realm climbed more and more.
With Ning Ruolan, Yan Ji and Luo Fei cultivating in such a place, and with Ning Cheng on hand to guide them, their cultivation progressed even faster than Ning Cheng’s.
Two years passed in a hurry, and this day Ning Cheng had just finished discussing with Pang Yuan and Black and White Whiskers when suddenly the protective formation was triggered. His divine sense swept out and saw Li Feng standing outside the protective formation with a low-level cultivator he didn’t even know.
Li Feng was a pillar of the Tai Su Dao Court, and since the Tai Su Dao Court did not have a protective court, it could be said that apart from Ning Cheng’s, it was Li Feng who had the highest status. The highest-ranking Li Feng was actually bringing a cultivator of only the Eternal Realm here to look for him, so there must be something going on.
Ning Cheng first opened the protective formation and invited Li Feng to enter the Tai Su Mountain where he was discussing the Dao with others.
“Li Tingzhu, this is?” Ning Cheng looked at the Eternal Realm cultivator behind Li Feng with suspicion, he could tell that Li Feng had brought this Eternal Realm cultivator to him specifically.
Pointing at the Eternal Realm cultivator, Li Feng said, “He specially travelled all the way back to the Tai Su Realm and found the Tai Su Dao Court, saying that he had an urgent matter for you.”
Seeing Ning Cheng look over, this Eternal Realm cultivator hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Ning Cheng, “Junior Lu Ximo, entrusted by Senior Jiang Man and Senior Mu Yue Ping, has come specifically to pay his respects to Senior Ning.”
Hearing Jiang Man and Mu Yue Ping, Ning Cheng immediately moved to ask, “Where is Jiang Man and his wife, why don’t you see them come over by themselves?”
Jiang Man and Mu Yueping were a couple Ning Cheng had met in the Tai Su Sea, these two were open and honest and had even lent Ning Cheng the Karma Great Avatar. It was just that Ning Cheng had never bothered to cultivate this divine ability, so when Ning Cheng heard about the two of them, he hurriedly asked about it.
Lu Ximo hurriedly said, “Senior Jiang Man and Senior Mu Yue Ping once came to Tian Su Sacred City. At that time, Daoist Monarch was not in Tiansu Holy City, and the two seniors were very happy about Daoist Monarch taking control of the Tai Su Dao Court. Later, when they heard that Daogun needed the Five Soils, the two seniors decided to look for news of the Five Soils.
A few years ago, Elder Jiang Man learned that there was news of the First Soil of Chaos, the Resting Soil, in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. Immediately, he decided to go to the Outer Heaven of Xuanhuang. Before Elder Jiang Man went to the Outer Heaven of Xuanhuang, he asked me to send a message back to Daoguang about this matter. Although I had the help of Senior Jiang Man’s talisman, my cultivation level was too low and it still took me a few years to make it back to Tai Su.”
As he spoke. Lu Ximo took out an audio-visual crystal ball and handed it to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense went onto the crystal ball and immediately knew that what Lu Ximo said was true, Jiang Man and Mu Yueping had really gone to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. It looked like he should have returned to the Four Great Stars when Jiang Man and Mu Yue Ping’s couple came to Tian Su Holy City.
This was not the first time he had heard of the Xuanhuang Outer Heavenly Ning City, and he had not expected to find news of the Resting Soil here. Resting Soil was one of the most precious materials in the vast universe, even more precious than Chaos Qi. This kind of thing appeared in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and Jiang Man and Mu Yue Ping would definitely not be able to get it if they went there. Their purpose was also clear to Ning Cheng, and that was to help him inquire about the whereabouts of the Resting Soil.
Ning Cheng became more and more grateful to Jiang Man and his wife in his heart, these two were indeed friends enough. Back when he was being chased by Deacon Gorge, Jiang Man and Mu Yue Ping had also spared no effort in giving him help. Now the two had gone to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. Still working for him, Ning Cheng naturally would not just ignore them.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng decided to make a trip to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and he said to Li Feng earnestly, “Li Tingzhu, I am going to make a trip to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, you take Lu Ximo to the Daoist Court and settle down.”
When news of the Xiyang appeared, Li Feng knew that Ning Cheng would go and check it out no matter what. All he could do was to help Ning Cheng stabilise the Tai Su Dao Court so that Ning Cheng would have no worries.
In fact, after the second Tai Su’s great victory over the Tai Yi Daoist Court army led by Yin Xingwen, Ning Cheng’s position as the Daoist Monarch of the Tai Su Daoist Court was already very secure.
Sending away Li Feng. Ning Cheng decided to go in search of both Chu Man Ho and Yan Bin Ji. Ning Cheng had also heard of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Outer Heaven, a place on the edge of a realm where he had heard that many powerful people would haunt. He was now at mid-Dao Yuan cultivation and had no problem protecting himself with this cultivation. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be enough if he were to fight for the resting soil. Chu Man Ho was an extremely strong Harmonious Dao Saint Emperor, while Yan Bin Ji was also half a step to Harmonious Dao, just one step away from successful Harmonious Dao.
With the two of them helping each other, this strength could go anywhere in the void.
Before Ning Cheng could reach Chu Man Ho’s cave, the protective formation of Tai Su Mountain was once again triggered and Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out. This time, he found two familiar faces, Su Shiqian and her fiancé Xu Yan.
Ning Cheng also had a good feeling about these two people, Su Shiqian and Su Shiqian’s grandfather Su Ji’an were both kind people, and Su Shiqian had also saved his life back then.
Ning Cheng hurriedly went out to welcome the two in, “Senior sister Shiqian and senior brother Xu have come a long way, hurry up and please come in.”
Seeing that Ning Cheng had become a Daoist Monarch of the Tai Su Dao Court and was still the same as before, without any trace of arrogance, Su Shiqian and Xu Yan were even more delighted. They felt even more affectionate towards Ning Cheng’s title of Senior Brother and Senior Sister.
“Dao Monarch is above, you are now the …… of the Tai Su Dao Court.”
Ning Cheng did not wait for Xu Yan to finish his sentence before waving his hand to interrupt, “Senior Brother Xu, when Senior Sister Shiqian saved me, I was not a Daoist Monarch. We met in a time of trouble and were friends in distress. If we were in the Dao Court, it would be fine for you to call me that. But here, to say anything else would be out of place.”
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Xu Yan did not continue and called out Brother Ning again.
“Senior Sister Shiqian and Senior Brother Xu have come all the way here this time, could it be that there is something going on?” Ning Cheng asked after pouring divine spirit tea for the two. Su Xiqian was now also a Nurtured Dao Saint Emperor, and it looked like he had used the Dou Qi Dao Pill he had given him in the first place. Otherwise, I was afraid that Su Xiqian would not have advanced to the Yuked Dao so quickly.
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Su Shiqian followed and stood up, saying in a somewhat gruff tone, “Big brother Ning, back then you and a senior sister went to my Su’s Corner ……”
“You’re talking about Senior Sister Ruoshi, right? It was also thanks to the map jade slip given by your father that Senior Sister Ruoxi was able to leave Tai Su.” Hearing Su Shiqian’s words, Ning Cheng knew that she was talking about Senior Sister Ruoxi.
Su Shiqian took a breath and said in an even more gruff tone, “Several years ago, Xu Yan and I made a trip there. Because I knew that the Taiyi Daoist Court’s army was pressing up, at that time I thought that the Tai Su Realm would definitely be scorched. My grandfather had me go ahead and check out that miasma canyon with weak rules in order to keep my Su family from being extinct. In case we were not defeated in the future, we would have a place to retreat to.”
Ning Cheng’s heart thudded when he heard this and suddenly had some bad feelings. Su Shiqian had come this far to this place and talked about Ruo Shi, it must be that something was wrong with the miasma canyon with weak rules that Ruo Shi had left.
Sure enough, Su Shiqian said, “That canyon was riddled with miasma, and Xu Yan and I went in cautiously. The further we went in, the colder we felt. Just when we couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to exit, we suddenly saw a frozen statue ……”
Ning Cheng suddenly stood up and asked in a shocked voice, “The statue you saw was Senior Sister Ruoxi?”
Su Shiqian nodded, “Yes, it is none other than Senior Sister Ruo Shi. Although our people couldn’t get through, our divine sense could still barely see some of it. That statue should be a shadow of Senior Sister Ruoxi, not her real body. As we hurriedly retreated, we saw another piece of cloth sealed by the ice sculpture, the piece of cloth was exactly the colour that Sister Ruoxi was wearing in the first place. I was worried in my heart and hurried over with Xu Yan to tell you about it.”
Ning Cheng’s face turned ugly, even a person’s figure could be frozen, how low should the temperature be there? Moreover, Ruo Xie’s dress was frozen to a corner, so it was evident that even if Ruo Xie had used the Heaven Opening Talisman sub-charm to walk away, her situation was not optimistic.
After thinking about it for a long time, Ning Cheng decided to go over to Su’s Corner first, to check the miasma canyon where Ruo Xi had left. Jiang Man and his wife had gone to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, just to inquire about the resting loam, so there shouldn’t be any problems. If Ruo Shi was really frozen in that icy cold miasma canyon, I was afraid that it would be a big problem.
After deciding, Ning Cheng asked, “Senior Sister Shiqian, will you and Senior Brother Xu follow me back to Su’s Corner, or will you stay in Tiansu Holy City?”
Su Xieqian hurriedly said, “I came here this time to talk about this matter in addition to wanting to fight for a chance of survival for the Su Clan Corner in the Tiansu Sacred City. In the past, I was afraid to come, but now that there are strict rules and regulations in Tiansu Holy City, we have some chances to stay here.”
Ning Cheng nodded, “That’s good, it’s hard to grow in that edge of Su’s Corner all the time, with the demon veins in between. How about this, I’ll give you a jade token, when you arrive at Tian Su Sacred City, go directly to look for Frustrated Fang Trace Tingzhu, he will take care of everything for you.”
Ning Cheng was a Daoist ruler of the Tai Su Dao Court, Ning Cheng’s words were not half doubted by Su Shiqian and Xu Yan, what she was worried about when she took the jade token was Ning Cheng going to that miasma canyon where the rules were weak.
“You guys don’t need to worry, when this side of things is over, I will find a way to set up a long distance transmission array from Broken Mao Divine City to Tian Su Holy City.” Ning Cheng said.
He did intend to set up this teleportation formation, otherwise the distance from Tian Su Sacred City to Su’s Corner would not only be far, but also dangerous.
There was a Tai Su Demon Vein in the middle of this journey, and the demonic beasts in the depths of the Tai Su Demon Vein were too strong. Even if the Void Airships of Broken Mao Divine City passed through the Tai Su Demon Vein, they still had to pay enough divine crystals. Once something good was discovered, even if they paid even more divine crystals, they would still be robbed by the demon beasts of the demon vein.
Ning Cheng was a Daoist ruler of the Tai Su Dao Court, but he did not have half the power to bind the Tai Su Demon Vein.
……
A day later, Ning Cheng gave an explanation to Chu Man Ho and the others, and spoke to Luo Fei and the others about how he had to leave the Tai Su Mountain for a trip, before he directly teleported to the Divine Sea City.
With his current speed it would only take him at most a little over a year to get to Su’s Corner, it wasn’t a trip to battle, and there was no need to have Chu Man Ho and the others go there with him. When he returned from Su’s Corner, he would call Chu Man He and the others when he was ready to go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
