“Thank you, Brother Yi, for lending me a place to retreat, I have gained a lot.” As soon as the two sat down, Ning Cheng expressed his gratitude. Having perfected the Xuanhuang Pearl and successfully refined the Divine Gun of Creation, it was not only a lot of gains for Ning Cheng.
Yi Sa quickly waved his hand and said, “Compared to Brother Ning’s great kindness, this little something of mine is not worth mentioning at all. I thought that Brother Ning would be in seclusion for some time, but I didn’t expect that Brother Ning would be out of seclusion so soon, could it be because of the Decline of the Heavenly Man?”
Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment, in the end he decided to tell Yi Sa about the creation divine spear crossing the tribulation. Yi Sa was a person worth making friends with, there was no need to hide it.
“Brother Yi, in fact, it is not me who is crossing the decay, but this spear behind me.” Ning Cheng said as he patted the Creation Divine Lance behind his back.
Yi Sa stared at the Creation Divine Spear behind Ning Cheng with wide eyes, this was the first time he had heard of a lower grade divine weapon crossing the decay. Not to mention lower grade divine weapons crossing the decay, he had never heard of a magic treasure crossing the decay at all.
It was only after a while that Yi Sa breathed out and said cautiously, “Brother Ning, although I don’t know what’s odd about this spear you’ve refined, a magic treasure that can cross the decay must not be weaker than an innate magic treasure. Try not to tell anyone about this kind of magic treasure, even if Brother Ning’s methods are heavenly, there are even more endlessly powerful people in the Endless Void.”
Ning Cheng said gratefully, “Thank you for reminding Brother Yi, I believe that Brother Yi is a friend worthy of friendship, and that is why I told Brother Yi. I have come this time, apart from bidding farewell to Brother Yi, there is another thing that I want to inquire about the location of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.”
Yi Sa’s tone gruffened, “Brother Ning, if it is not a particularly important matter, I suggest that you do not go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.”
There was a reason for Yi Sa to advise Ning Cheng on this, just because Ning Cheng had made such a huge commotion with his cultivation and was safe and sound in the Heavenly Alliance Star, it did not mean that he would be safe and sound when he went to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. Moreover, Yi Sa also knew that Ning Cheng had a magic treasure on his body, the Nine Dao Subduing Tower. Besides, Ning Cheng’s lance that could cross the decay, just because he did not know it, did not mean that no one in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven knew it.
Ning Cheng asked suspiciously, “Brother Yi, I have heard that there are no strong people in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and even Harmonious Dao Saint Emperors are extremely rare. Why can’t we go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven?”
The news that there were no strong people in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was still something that Ning Cheng had inquired about from Xiao Qiandong, or to be exact, Xiao Qiandong had inadvertently said it. When the two of them were talking, Xiao Qiandong had intentionally or unintentionally talked about the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and said that the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was a place with many resources, but there were very few strong people, and even Hedao Saint Emperors rarely went there.
Previously, Ning Cheng thought that this was an unintentional conversation, but now that Ning Cheng had learned the location of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, he naturally knew that this was something that Xiao Qiandong had intentionally said. The reason was simple, it was an indirect way of telling him that the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was safe.
The location where Tai Chu Daoist Lord Li Jiancheng had asked him to set up the transmission array was most likely the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. Telling Ning Cheng in advance that there were no strong people in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was also a way to allay Ning Cheng’s worries.
“There are very few strong people in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven?” Yi Zha looked at Ning Cheng somewhat blankly and asked, without waiting for Ning Cheng to answer, he explained mockingly, “Indeed, to ninety-nine percent of the people, there are indeed very few strong people in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.”
When Ning Cheng heard this, he knew that the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was not simple, and he hurriedly asked, “Why do you say that?”
Yi Sa sighed, “If I hadn’t perfected the Dao of Harmony and even touched the edge of the Realm of Creation, perhaps I wouldn’t have known the importance of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. The Xuanhuang Outer Heaven is where multiple realms meet, it’s a bustling and lively place, and it’s true that strong people are rarely seen. Even if one could see a Harmonious Dao Saint Emperor, that would be a rare thing. It can be said that on the surface, the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven is bustling with activity, and there are not necessarily as many truly powerful people as my Heavenly Alliance Star.”
“Could it be that Brother Yi has met a top-notch Harmonious Dao powerhouse?” Ning Cheng asked suspiciously.
Yi Sa looked up at the distant void, “I reckon what I saw that time was not a Dao Harmony powerhouse, but a true third-step powerhouse. What I saw were two powerful people who were fighting in the void, those two probably met to fight in the void because they had a gap in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. I happened to be watching the battle from the sidelines, and the kind of powerful might almost tore the void apart.
I was already at full Harmony, and my daoist partner Shu Ou was not in trouble at that time, so I can say that I was at the peak of my strength. With my strength, even when I hid far away and watched from the side, I was blasted by the aftermath of the fight and my mind was unstable. That kind of majestic as if the stars were rolling backwards was so powerful that I still remember it vividly, and I’m afraid that it was not something that a Sage Emperor of the second step of the Dao of the testimony would be able to fight.”
“The third step of the Dao of Evidence? The Realm of Creation? They didn’t notice you watching from the sidelines?” Ning Cheng uttered in surprise.
Yi Sa said in a somewhat despondent tone, “I’m sure they saw me watching on the sidelines, so I guess they didn’t see me in their eyes. After these two fought and left, I hurriedly went to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. I was in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven in search of heavenly treasures for my daoist partner, Shu Za, to prove her mixed origin.
The reason why this place, the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, attracts countless people to go there is because of the variety of heavenly treasures that appear here. I stayed in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven in order to attend various auctions. During a chance encounter, I saw one of those two strong men who were fighting back then. Brother Ning, do you know what he was doing at that time?”
Even Ning Cheng could not help but ask, “What was he doing?”
Yi Sa said with a hint of fear in his voice, “He was setting up a stall outside an inconspicuous market, and I almost thought it was just a case of my eyes being mistaken. Then that powerful man smiled at me, and that smile had a meaning. I hurriedly purchased many things from his ground stall, and left in a hurry without even paying back the price.”
Speaking of this Yi Sa even sighed and said, “Originally, I thought that my strength was considered powerful in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and even if someone was more powerful than me, they would not overpower me. After that incident, I realized that the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was definitely not that simple.
I had to stay in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven for thousands of years in order to get the materials for Shu Oat’s advancement. During the thousands of years, I learnt something even more obscure. That was that there were many top-tier powerhouses in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven living there in seclusion, and the purpose of these powerhouses might be for the safety of their respective realms, or perhaps for something else. They never openly declared their strength in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and even when the major powers in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven fought, they never intervened.”
Ning Cheng sucked in a cold breath, so many powerful people in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven were hiding in the shadows. That Li Jiancheng wanted to set up a teleportation array in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, he was simply looking for death.
It was also true, how could an important place like the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven not have strong people hidden in it?
If Li Jiancheng was setting up a teleportation formation somewhere else, he would help out a little, but if it was really the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, then don’t blame him for not helping out. Ning Cheng did not feel half guilty about not helping Li Jiancheng set up a transmission array in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
At the beginning, Xiao Qiandong was a snake and a rat, and if Qing Lan hadn’t suddenly appeared, he would have definitely suffered a great loss under Ao Beijiang at that time.
It was obvious that Li Jiancheng was not sincere in his cooperation with him. Or rather, it was just that he wanted his help in setting up the transmission array.
“Thank you, Brother Yi, but I still have to make a trip to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, I’ll just be more careful when the time comes.” Ning Cheng thanked to and said.
Jiang Man and Mu Yue Ping’s couple had made a special trip to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven for the matter of the resting loam. Not to mention that Jiang Man and his wife were originally friends with him, even if they didn’t have any relationship, for this reason, Ning Cheng wouldn’t not go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
Yi Sa obviously knew Ning Cheng’s character somewhat, and after hearing Ning Cheng’s words, he no longer tried to persuade him and directly took out two jade slips and handed them to Ning Cheng, saying, “Brother Ning, this is what I have engraved long ago. One is for the two routes to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and the other is for the Five Realms Void Market.”
Ning Cheng hurriedly took the jade slips and asked, “Which place is closer, going to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven from here or going to the Five Realms Void Market?”
Ning Cheng was not puzzled by the fact that Yi Sa could know that he needed the Void Route of the Five Realms. This matter was known to Old Gas, and since Old Gas knew about it, there was no surprise that Yi Sa knew about it.
Yi Sa had obviously researched the distances between the two places, and as soon as Ning Cheng asked, he replied, “Going from the Heavenly Alliance Star to both the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven and the Five Realms Void City is very far away, compared to that, going to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven is still much closer, almost a quarter of the journey to the Five Realms Void City.
If Brother Ning wants to go to both the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven and the Five Realms Void City, I suggest that you go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven first, not because the journey is closer. Rather, after going to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, you can take a teleportation formation at the Void City of Yao Ya on the edge of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven to the Jade River Star. Once they arrived at Jade River Star, there would be a teleportation formation to the major Void Cities. It is more convenient to return to the Five Realms Void City this way than going directly to the Five Realms Void City from me. These routes are all written out in my jade slip.”
Originally, Ning Cheng was still hesitating whether he should go back first or go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven first. Now that Yi Sa said that it was more convenient to go back to the Five Realms Void City from the Xuanhuang Heavenly Outer Sky, Ning Cheng decided to go to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Outer Sky first.
……
Three days later, Ning Cheng and Yi Sa said goodbye and left the Heavenly Alliance Star. Old Gas was afraid of death, so when Ning Cheng left the Heavenly Alliance Star, he also left after Ning Cheng. On the contrary, it was Chasing Ox and Old Gas who fought fiercely, the two fellows had been wandering around the Heavenly Alliance Star City for a year and still looked as if they hated each other, which made Ning Cheng speechless.
“That Yi Sa is really too useless, the Heavenly Alliance Star is at least a place of great renown. Yi Sa can’t even build a transmission array and still let us fly away.” On the star wheel, the old gas muttered.
“Big Brother Ping Ding is right, there really aren’t many interesting places on the Heavenly Alliance Star apart from the crowds.” Chasing Bull was busy chiming in off to the side.
“Just call me when you arrive at Gato Void City.” Ning Cheng didn’t bother to pay attention to Old Gas and Chasing Ox, dropping these words and going straight in to check out the Xuanhuang Pearl World.
Gato Void City was the closest Void City to the Heavenly Alliance Star City, and it was possible to teleport to the rest of the world from here.
“Yes Master, I will definitely call Master at the first opportunity.” Chasing Ox hurriedly said.
