After exchanging some nutritionless pleasantries, Xiao Qiandong did not even wait for Ning Cheng to return to the Dao Court of the Heavenly Su Sacred City before he spoke, “When Daoist Ning promised to set up a few teleportation arrays for my Tai Chu Dao Court, I did not dare to interrupt before because Daoist Ning was busy. Now that I am finally free, I would like to ask Daoist Ning to take the trouble to do so ……”
Without waiting for Xiao Qiandong to finish his words, Ning Cheng sighed, “Guardian Court Xiao, I had actually planned to go to Tai Chou and set up a transmission array for Daoist Monarch Li. It’s just that I occasionally passed by the Taiyi Realm, only to learn that the Taiyi Underground Abyss was flooded with demonic creatures. Although the Taiyi Realm had invaded my Tai Su, how could I watch the many innocent people of Taiyi fall into the demonic creatures?
I stayed in the Taiyi Realm and joined hands with Lord Xingwen and others to kill the demons. It was good that we finally suppressed the demonic creatures and sealed them up again. Regrettably, I was accidentally struck by the Shao Er poison ……”
“What?” Not only was Xiao Qiandong shocked, but even Li Feng and the others were looking at Ning Cheng in shock.
What was the Shao Er Poison? This was one of the infamous Ten Poisons of the World. Just think of the Striated Bone Poison that had tortured Kang Xiushan to death, the Shao Er Poison was even more terrifying than the Striated Bone Poison as there was no solution.
Ning Cheng was a Dan Saint, and it was not bad that he could refine a Dao Pill to resolve the poison. But you also had to have the herbs for you to refine it. Even a good cook without rice in the pot was still in vain.
“You’ve really been poisoned with Shao Er poison?” Xiao Qiandong took a breath and asked one more question in disbelief.
Ning Cheng nodded cautiously, “When I was poisoned with the Shao Er Poison, Lord Xingwen Realm and many others saw it, Daoist Xiao does not need to go to Taiyi, just ask at the Five Realms Void Market. If I don’t think of a way to cure the poison, I’m afraid I’ll die from the poison before I even make it to Taiyi, so please forgive me, Protector Xiao.”
In the beginning, Xiao Qiandong was two-faced, Ning Cheng didn’t mind being two-faced with him for a bit. Let alone the fact that he was still unhealed from the poison, even if the poison was removed, he would not go to Tai Chou to help, that would be a matter of seeking death.
Ning Cheng had even put it to this point, so even if Xiao Qiandong was uninterested, he could only say goodbye.
“Ning Cheng, are you really poisoned? Or was it Shao Er poison?” As soon as Xiao Qiandong left, Chu Manhe could not help but ask.
Ning Cheng nodded heavily, “That’s right, I’ve indeed been poisoned. I came back to see if there is anything else, if there is nothing important, I guess I will have to go out to find the antidote to the poison.”
“But the Shao Er poison is incurable ……” said Li Feng worriedly, of all the pillars of the court, he was the one who cared the most about Ning Cheng.
“Li Tingzhu don’t need to worry, I have my own way, the Shao Er Poison can’t help me for now, I can still suppress it. I wonder how the Great War with the Demon Veins is going now?” When Ning Cheng left, the Tai Su Dao Ting and the Demon Veins were still in a great battle. Although he knew that the Tai Su Daoist Court would definitely win, he did not know the outcome yet after all.
Li Feng hurriedly said, “After a great battle between the Demon Vein’s Ao Dai Daoist and Fellow Daoist Chu, the Ao Dai Daoist took the initiative to back down and compensate. Giving up part of the Demon Vein, the cultivators of the Tai Su Domain can directly traverse the Demon Vein as long as they don’t enter the deepest part of it.”
Ning Cheng nodded, it was necessary for the Demon Vein to exist. Only competition and the baptism of blood would allow the Tai Su Realm to continue to grow.
The demonic beasts of the Tai Su Sea and the demonic beasts of the demon veins, these were a necessary factor for the Tai Su Realm to exist.
“By the way, Daoist Monarch Ao Dai invited you to make a trip to the Demon Veins as a guest, she said that she had if to discuss with you.” Li Feng said again.
On the other side, Chu Man Ho also said, “This Ao Dai person is very powerful, if she fights with all her might, I may not be able to stop her.”
No one cared about Ning Cheng going out for a trip and advancing from Dao Yuan to Mixed Yuan instead. Ning Cheng’s cultivation speed had long since become numb to them.
After a brief pause, Ning Cheng said, “I will first go back to Tai Su Mountain, and then I have to make another trip out of the Tai Su Realm.”
“Is it to find an antidote to the Shao Er Poison?” Chu Man Ho asked worriedly.
There were too many people who knew about him being poisoned by the Shao Er Poison, and Ning Cheng did not bother to hide it, “Yes, it is to go in order to cure the poison. As for the matter of going to see Ao Dai, let’s put it off for a while.”
Even if Ning Cheng was thinking about the Tai Su Realm, he couldn’t care less about his own life and death. He was now able to suppress the Shao Er Poison, but this poison was after all one of the ten poisons in the world, and it was also one of the ten poisons that had no antidote. What if one day he could no longer suppress it, would he not be waiting to die?
Now the first place he would go to when he returned was the Land of Broken Rules, to find the Aghan Unruffled Fruit. Immediately after he found the A-Han Unrendered Fruit, he would go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven again, searching for the Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal and the Immaculate Water along the way. These two items he also intended to ask Sung Hou Tian to help him find them, knowing that they could not be consigned to the Tai Su Realm. Such extremely rare and top-notch treasures could only be found in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
……
Ning Cheng was poisoned, and with the fact that there was nothing major going on in the Tai Su Dao Court, naturally no one came to waste Ning Cheng’s time. Ning Cheng, Chu Man Ho and Old Gas went straight back to Tai Su Mountain.
Knowing that Tai Su Mountain was Ning Cheng’s place of residence, and coupled with the fact that it was a beautiful environment with an abundance of divine Spirit Qi that could not be more abundant, Old Gas immediately asked Ning Cheng for a mountain peak and settled down here.
Ning Cheng’s search for the Five Soils was something that the old gas knew very well. Ning Cheng was also a Daoist ruler of the Tai Su Dao Court, so how could he not guess that Ning Cheng wanted to restore the Tai Su Realm?
No matter whether Ning Cheng could restore the Tai Su Realm or not, he did not intend to leave this place.
Ning Ruocheng and Ning Ruolan were both in seclusion and had not yet left, and when Ji Luofei learned that Ning Cheng had returned, she immediately stopped cultivating. After learning that Ning Cheng had been poisoned by the Shao Er Poison, she could not wait to follow Ning Cheng out to find an antidote for the poison right away.
Thinking that Ning Ruolan and Ning Ruqing were both at Mount Tai Su, Ji Luofei still resisted the idea of going out with Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng stayed at Tai Su Mountain for a day and then left the Tai Su Realm. An Yi was still in the process of fusing her divine soul and even had to change her cultivation technique, so she could only stay in the Xuanhuang Pearl.
……
The Land of Broken Rules, this was the second time Ning Cheng had come here. The first time he was chased by the Barbarian Society Mountain and escaped with the help of the Land of Broken Rules. And this time, he had come to the Land of Broken Rules specifically to search for the Aghan Unruffled Fruit.
As soon as Ning Cheng entered the Land of Broken Rules, he felt a suppression without rules. Here his divine sense was instantly reduced to a minimum, and his Dao Rhythm aura was also bound.
Unlike back in the Eternal Realm, Ning Cheng’s divine sense could sweep out unhindered even when it was suppressed. This was because his Dao had long surpassed that of ordinary Mixed Yuan powerhouses, forming his own rules and dao rhymes.
In the Land of Broken Rules it was impossible to cast Rule Avatars, but for Ning Cheng, whose Returning Dao had already taken shape, his Rule Avatars could be cast here just as well, only with an unrestricted decrease in power.
To Ning Cheng, the speed of the Star Battle Ship was simply too slow. At his level, there was no obstacle to using a starship in the Land of Broken Rules.
In just a dozen days, Ning Cheng had once again arrived outside of the Blue Cheng Wishing Clan’s canyon. He had mainly come to look for the Aghan Unruffled Fruit this time, and even if he was passing through the Valley of Peace, he did not bother to go in to see it.
Ning Cheng had been here once before, and he was clear that crossing this canyon was where the Blue Cheng Wishing Clan was located.
If it was still the Eternal Realm, Ning Cheng would definitely not dare to cross the gorge like this. That time he had risked returning to steal the Ahan Wuzhe fruit, and if it wasn’t for A Li’s help, he would have definitely fallen into the hands of that Blue Ice a second time. This woman, Blue Ice, was beautiful to the extreme, and also malicious to the extreme.
Ning Cheng believed that the Blue Cheng Wishes were not too much of a threat to him now, and he still walked into the gorge with extreme caution. His strength was suppressed to less than one ten thousandth of a percent here, so it was better to be careful. Not to mention Blue Ice, the evil woman, but that statue square of the Blue Cheng Wishing Clan was a bit bizarre.
Blue Ice’s chanting could not only suppress the outward release of a monk’s divine sense, it could also release an attack. Ning Cheng reckoned that with his body refining strength, he would not be able to do fatal damage even if he let Blue Ice attack. However, the Blue Cheng Wishing Clan was somewhat bizarre, so who knew if there would be other killing moves, and it was not the first time Ning Cheng had seen things that had turned upside down in the gutter.
Any race that had survived must have their own means. To take these races lightly was only to seek death. Ning Cheng would never belittle the Blue Honest Wish Race just because he was strong enough to deal with the Hedao.
Crossing the gorge, Ning Cheng merely saw one or two unfamiliar Wishing Race people standing guard by the statue in the square. Compared to his last visit, this place looked even colder.
Ning Cheng’s gaze suddenly fell on the front of that statue, and he could not even believe his eyes. A Li was kneeling before the statue with his upper body naked, seemingly praying in devotion.
No, Ning Cheng quickly saw that Ah Li was not praying, but was being confined to worship in front of the statue.
Ning Cheng immediately remembered Lan Bing, this woman was the one who wanted to imprison his Yuan Shen in front of the statue for worship back then, and now it looked like she had placed Ah Li here for worship. Unlike him back then, Ah Li was imprisoned here along with his physical body.
Ning Cheng clearly remembered that the middle-aged beauty, A Li, was Lan Bing’s aunt and seemed to be the previous king. If this was done by Lan Bing, this woman was a little too poisonous.
After just a few breaths, Ning Cheng knew that he had not guessed wrong, it was indeed Lan Bing who had done it. His divine sense swept to Lan Bing’s room, where Lan Bing was sitting on the pink bed, stroking her own brow. Where her brow was located, there was a butterfly-shaped mark.
A familiar aura came from it, and Ning Cheng had some suspicions that the butterfly seal was the one that his jade seal was made of. But that wish jade seal he had clearly given to Ah Li, why was it on Lan Bing? If A Li had passed his jade seal on to Lan Bing, then Lan Bing wouldn’t have confined A Li to worship in front of the statue, would he?
Ning Cheng once again landed his divine sense on the butterfly seal, and was even more certain that he was not mistaken, that the butterfly seal was his jade seal breath.
As Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept over to Lan Bing, Lan Bing seemed to sense something and suddenly raised his head to look in the direction where Ning Cheng was. Ning Cheng hurriedly withdrew his divine sense, and he felt more and more that the Blue Cheng Wish Clan was not simple.
