As they spoke, the two had arrived at the western corner of the Thousand Refuges Void City. Near the western corner, there was hardly anyone around. When Ning Cheng arrived here, he also found that a simple defensive ban had long been placed here. This simple defensive ban could neither prevent those inside from coming out, nor could it prevent those outside from going in.
Perhaps this defensive ban was merely a psychological effect. Standing outside the defensive ban, Ning Cheng felt an eerie aura. This aura was somewhat similar to the aura of the Underworld, yet it was completely different.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept in, and apart from seeing a tall gatehouse of the Yin Family, there was nothing else. The tall gatehouse was mottled and bizarre, and on the top of the gatehouse, hovered three large, tattered and mottled characters, Yin Clan Horn. The word Horn is missing half of its name, making it look even more dilapidated.
As his divine sense passed through the tall doorway, Ning Cheng could only feel a gloomy black hole, and no matter how much his divine sense forced itself to break through the black hole, he still could not see anything. That Yin’s Corner was like the void, yet it was even more bizarre than the void, which could at least be felt. This place, on the other hand, had only two words after the divine sense had entered, emptiness.
“Senior, this is the Yin Clan, very few people have gone in recently.” Yan Jing Yao pointed at the gloomy Yin’s Corner and said to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng waved his hand at Yan Jing Yao and said, “There is nothing more for you here, you can leave anytime.”
Ning Cheng despised people like Yan Jing Yao who forced to buy and sell the most. If it wasn’t for Yan Jing Yao’s threat to that sepia-clothed Dao Transformation Saint Emperor earlier, he might have even taken out two Qian Yuan Heavenly Pills for sale to the Thousand Refinement Void Market.
“Yes, senior.” How could Yan Jing Yao dare to stay here, in case Ning Cheng was in a bad mood and gave him a slap on the wrist, he would have no place to cry out injustice if he died.
Ning Cheng did not immediately enter Yin’s Corner, he observed outside for quite a while, just as Yan Jing Yao had said, after almost an hour, Ning Cheng did not see a single person enter Yin’s Corner. Moreover, no matter what methods he used, his divine sense could not penetrate into the Yin Clan Corner.
To go in or not to go in, Ning Cheng himself was a little hesitant. He had been to many dangerous places, even the Burying Shadow Blue Sand his divine sense was not so bad that it could not penetrate in at all. Or if it couldn’t penetrate in initially, after some time, it was possible to penetrate out. But here his divine sense really could not penetrate at all, despite trying for an hour, it was still useless.
“Hehe, Brother Ning, what a coincidence, you’ve come here to look for the Fragment of the Indestructible Axe as well?” A familiar and still slightly surprised voice rang out, followed by Tantai Yi walking over at a brisk pace.
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Tantai.” Ning Cheng also smiled and gave a fist clasp.
Ning Cheng was not half surprised that Tantai Yi had appeared here. This woman was wandering around the major Void Markets in the Void just to look for their respective kinds of exotic treasures. Otherwise, he would not have seen her at the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower.
Now that Tantai Yi had appeared in the Thousand Refinement Void Market, it was obvious that she had come over for the Fragment of the Creation Immortality Axe. As Tantai Yi had said, it was quite a bit of a coincidence. The void was vast and boundless, even if Tantai Yi had come over for the fragment of the Axe Blade of the Immortal Axe of Creation and happened to meet him here, it was still a bit of a coincidence.
Ning Cheng was very suspicious that this woman knew that he was here and then deliberately sought him out. It was just that he simply could not understand why Tantai Yi knew that he was here.
“Brother Ning, if you want to go in and look for the Fragment of the Axe Blade of the Indestructible Axe, how about we join forces?” A hint of eagerness flashed across Tantai Yi’s eyes. Last time, she had wanted to join forces with Ning Cheng, but later on, she did not succeed in doing so because Ning Cheng did not care about her. This time, after she had met Ning Cheng, she immediately wanted to join forces again.
She had a premonition that Ning Cheng was not a simple person.
The reason why she came to Thousand Ren Void City this time was not because she knew that Ning Cheng was here, but because when she passed by an adjacent Void City transmission array in Thousand Ren Void City, she heard that two Qian Yuan Heavenly Pills had appeared in Thousand Ren Merchant House.
She did not need the Qian Yuan Heavenly Pill right now, but she knew that it was definitely something that only the top Dan Saints could refine. To be able to appear in the Qian Yuan Heavenly Pill at the Qian Ren Void Market with two of them was definitely not an ordinary person. In order to find the owner of the Qian Yuan Heavenly Pills, Tantai Yi deliberately came to the Qian Ren Void Market and found the Qian Ren Merchant House. Once she asked at the Thousand Refees Merchant House, she knew that Ning Cheng had gone to Yin’s Corner.
It was not that she did not know about Yin’s Corner, with her experience in the Void, would she not know that there was a fragment of the Axe Blade of the Indestructible Axe containing the Dao Rhythm of Creation at Yin’s Corner? She had come twice for this matter, and both times she had not dared to enter Yin’s Corner.
She was too scandalised by this Yin’s Horn, having once seen a half-step Harmonious Dao Saint Emperor enter the Yin’s Horn and never come out. She believed that she was much stronger than that half-step Harmonious Dao Saint Emperor, and still did not dare to take the risk.
More than once, Tantai Yi had thought that if she had this broken fragment of the creation imperishable axe blade, she could definitely succeed in Dao Harmonisation in the strongest way possible.
She had not merged with the Dao until now, not because she could not merge with the Dao, but because she did not want to. With her strength, there was hardly much danger in walking in the void. What’s more, after all these years of trespassing, she also knew that merging the Dao was important. If she merged with the Dao at random, not only would she end up here in this life, but her strength would also be far inferior to others.
Ning Cheng smiled, “I haven’t thought about it yet, so if Daoist Fellow Tantai wants to go in, there is no need to consider me.”
Tantai Yi wore a smile, not half embarrassed, “Brother Ning, you know that I don’t dare to go in alone. I’ve been wandering the void for countless years, and there aren’t many people that I can admire, and Brother Ning is one of them. So if Brother Ning wants to go in, I am willing to be Brother Ning’s helper. If Brother Ning doesn’t go in, I definitely wouldn’t dare to go in.”
Ning Cheng did not expect Tantai Yi to speak so directly, he was tempted to say that I would enter mine and you would enter yours, we would not cross the river. However, Tantai Yi had always been polite and respectful from the time she met him until now. Even if Ning Cheng had some dislike for Tantai Yi, with a personality like his, he really could not say such things.
“Two brothers and sisters, if we go in, can you take me with you?” An extremely young looking male cultivator walked over quickly, his face all smiles as he spoke.
If he was on Earth, Ning Cheng would even suspect that in the young male cultivator was not even twenty years old, that it would not be too much to call him a teenager. Here, Ning Cheng was certain that the other party was more than twenty years old, as the other party was already at the perfect cultivation of the Dao of Transformation. Ning Cheng was still certain that this male cultivator was definitely not too old.
This was the first time Ning Cheng had seen such a young Dao Transformation Perfection. This was in addition to an unparalleled qualification and endless cultivation resources. From this, Ning Cheng knew that this youngster came from a top power.
Moreover, this young male cultivator was really handsome looking, and his skin was not worse even than Tantai Yi’s. From the fact that he, a Dao Transformation Saint Emperor, dared to enter Yin’s Corner with two powerful people who were far stronger than him, it was evident that he had a lot of courage.
When Tantai Yi saw this young male cultivator, a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes, which disappeared in a mere flash.
Ning Cheng did not say anything, if he were to enter the Yin Clan’s Corner, not to mention a Dao Transformation Perfection, even if it was Tantai Yi, he did not want to bring him.
Seeing that neither Ning Cheng nor Tantai Yi spoke, the young male cultivator did not feel embarrassed and still showed a mouthful of white teeth as he smiled and said, “My name is Zhen Xiao Bing, which is the ice of ice and snow. The two brothers and sisters need not worry that I am a burden, I will certainly not drag you down. I’ve been waiting here for years, always wanting to follow the strongest people in to see what all the fuss is about, but I haven’t seen any strong people, but I have seen many ordinary people. Only when they went in, they never had the chance to come out.”
“You haven’t gone in once?” Ning Cheng stared at Zhen Xiaobing.
Zhen Xiaobing stroked her hair with some embarrassment, “I went in once in a while and almost lost my life, so I hurriedly retreated out.”
“You went in once?” Ning Cheng looked at Zhen Xiaobing in confusion, didn’t Yan Jing Yao say that as long as they went in they would all fall and none would come out? Why was this Zhen Xiaobing able to come out again after going in?
Zhen Xiaobing seemed to nod without the slightest bit of caution and said, “Yes, I did go in once. Once inside, not only could I not use my divine sense, I could not use my divine energy either. Luckily, I had a teleportation array disk that I could activate with my mind, and I used it to escape.”
An idea-inspired array disk? Ning Cheng’s interest in Yin’s Horn at this time was rather less than this array disk, “Fellow Daoist Zhen, can you not into lend me your array disk to look at? Don’t worry, I’ll just take a look, I definitely won’t ask for your stuff.”
“Of course you can.” Zhen Xiaobing placed an array plate in Ning Cheng’s hand without any half-hearted caution, the array plate looked exquisite and had a very novel appearance, it was obviously not something ancient but newly refined.
Ning Cheng was greatly impressed by this Zhen Xiaobing, he thought that even if Zhen Xiaobing wanted to show him the array plate, he would still make a request, that is, to bring him in with him when he went in. Unexpectedly, he had not even asked and had directly handed over this array plate to himself.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense landed on top of the array plate and was immediately shocked. This array plate had definitely not been refined for more than a hundred years, but the array plate’s structure was novel in its means of engraving formations, which was refreshing to his ears. He had been studying formation dao for a long time, and even the formation dao jade slip given to him by Nian Yan had traces of the formation techniques in it. Zhen Xiaobing’s formation plate had no traces to follow, it was completely natural.
This kind of untraceable refining means was somewhat similar to the direction of his formation dao development, but Ning Cheng knew that he definitely could not do it to this extent now.
“So strong.” Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept over the array plate veins and muttered out of his mouth. Unfortunately, his divine sense could not penetrate in. One, because this array plate was not his, and two, because he did not understand the refining method of this array plate, once his divine sense penetrated in, it would most likely destroy the structure of this array plate.
“May I ask who helped you refine this array plate?” Ning Cheng handed the array plate to Zhen Xiaobing and asked in a polite tone.
Zhen Xiaobing casually put the array plate away, revealing an unsuspecting smile, “This was given to me by my mother, my mother was worried that I would be in danger outside ah, so she gave me this array plate.”
What Zhen Xiaobing said was not very clear, so Ning Cheng did not ask any further questions and nodded, “Since that’s the case, then let’s go in now and take a look. This Yin’s Corner, when the time comes, in case something goes wrong, we will each run for our lives.”
