Seeing Zhong Wuchen honestly accept the jade slip and go out, Connie Shen suddenly frowned and said, “This person is also coming with us?”
Mang Yong did not speak this time and turned his gaze towards Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “Don’t look at this follower of mine who has blurred Dao rhymes and appears to be only at the early stage of Dao Yuan, but in fact he is very strong. The Dao Rhyme is blurred because he is in the process of sensing a new divine ability, once his divine ability is learned, I am afraid that his strength will far surpass mine.”
There was nothing exaggerated about Ning Cheng’s words, he had a hunch in his heart that Zhong Wuchen was so persistent in trying to sense the Seven Bridges divine Ability, he was afraid that he did not just like this divine Ability. It was very likely that Zhong Wuchen was using the Seven Bridges divine Ability to construct his own world.
Once Zhong Wuchen learnt the Seven Bridges divine Ability, it might be the time when he would prove the third step of the Dao. Although Ning Cheng did not know how powerful Zhong Wuchen would be once he had attested to the Third Step, he always felt that he would be much, much stronger than that Feng Huang Mei of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
Connie Shen’s gaze was fixed on Ning Cheng’s eyes, “Fellow Daoist Ning, the last time Daoist Mang Yong saw you, you were a late stage Dao Transformation. Daoist Brother Mang said that you were very strong, and I believe that you should have attained Dao Origin. But this time, when we are forming a group to traverse the Calvary Mountain, we are all alone, and only you are bringing a helper with a similar cultivation level as us, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
Before Connie Shen had finished her words, Mang Yong saw Ning Cheng frowning, so he quickly rounded up and said, “Brother Ning, what Senior Sister Shen means is that if that friend of yours can go without us, let him stay here.”
Duan Guangyu also nodded, “Senior Sister Shen is right, since we are all teaming up to traverse the Calvary Void Mountain, then we should follow the rules.”
Ning Cheng understood the meaning of several people, this was because he was not at ease with him. Once everyone quarreled over a certain kind of treasure, he clearly had the upper hand with two people on his side.
It was clearly unrealistic to let Zhong Wuchen stay at the Meteoric Immortal Boat Void Market. It would be fine if Zhong Wuchen was really his follower, but the key was that Zhong Wuchen was not his follower.
Seeing that several people were looking at him, Ning Cheng suddenly said, “The reason I joined this group is because I have a top flight magic treasure. Brother Mang, when we return, do we still need to use my flying magic treasure?”
Mang Yong said, “That is not necessary, but I have an agreement with Brother Ning, so I naturally have to accompany Brother Ning on his journey.”
Ning Cheng smiled lightly, “Thank you, Brother Mang, as for accompanying me on a journey, that will be fine. Let’s do it this way, we’ll go our separate ways after we cross the Calvary Mountain. I will take my follower with me not to follow the three of you all the way, we have other things to do and we must take this follower with us, so it is feasible?”
Mang Yong looked at Ning Cheng suspiciously and asked, “In that case, wouldn’t Brother Ning suffer a big loss?”
Ning Cheng laughed, “It is better to suffer a little loss than to have people always thinking that I am taking advantage of them.”
Seeing that neither Duan Guangyu nor Connie Shen said anything, Mang Yong hesitated for a while before suddenly saying, “In that case, then I’ll be sorry for Brother Ning. When we part ways, I will definitely give Brother Ning what he needs. If Brother Ning is unsure, I can instead make a contract.”
Ning Cheng waved his hand, “No need, I trust Brother Mang very much, Brother Mang will definitely give me the things when the time comes. This is something that I am comfortable with.”
“Good, I will make this friend of Brother Ning.” Mang Yong said in a loud voice, he regretted in his heart that he could not accompany Ning Cheng to search for the Starry Sky Wheel’s artifact spirit. In fact, he really cared about Ning Cheng’s Starry Sky Wheel, if this Starry Sky Wheel was his, he would be at least twice as safe when walking in the vast void.
When Ning Cheng spoke like this, it was Duan Guangyu and Candy Shen who had nothing left to pick on.
Just after the scene had descended into awkwardness, Zhong Wuchen returned. What made Ning Cheng puzzled was that there was also someone following behind Zhong Wuduan.
This person only appeared to be at the Dao Transformation realm, but he was surrounded by strong Dao rhythms and carried a bloody and murderous aura of the vast void. A head of long, withered yellow hair was draped over his back shoulder, appearing extremely spontaneous.
“Old Zhong, who is this?” Ning Cheng looked at this Dao Transformation Saint Emperor and asked in confusion.
Zhong Wuchen smiled heatedly, “I had just finished issuing a quest in the Quest Hall when this fellow said that he knew the detailed location of the Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal. Although I knew where to find the Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal, I didn’t have the details of its location, and the place I mentioned might not be found for years once I searched for it. Since this man knew the detailed location, I brought him back. But this man has been taken over, and not just once. You should be more careful when you ask, don’t be fooled by him.”
Hearing Zhong Wuchen’s words, this yellow-haired man shook slightly, and he looked at Zhong Wuchen with slight surprise. This fellow could actually tell that he had taken over his body? One should know that many Mixed Origin Saint Emperors, and even Harmonious Dao powerhouses, might not necessarily be able to tell this.
Ning Cheng dropped his gaze on this long-haired man with the vicissitudes of the void, and to be honest, he felt that there was something odd about this Dao Transformation Saint Emperor. As for whether or not this oddity was a seized body, he really wasn’t sure.
When the long-haired man saw Ning Cheng land his gaze on him, he did not dare to be slow and hurriedly stepped forward to clasp his fist and said, “My junior Peng Yu, I have been wandering in the void, so I know ……”
Ning Cheng raised his hand to stop Peng Yu’s words and said to the three Mang Yong, “Since everyone is fine, I suggest that we leave now.”
“I agree.” Connie Shen was the first to respond to Ning Cheng this time, the reason she stayed at the Meteoric Immortal Boat was to cross the Jiaquan Mountain. Like Ning Cheng in general, she also had her own matters. Apart from crossing the Jiaquan Mountain in search of sensing the dao rhythm rules of the ancient great powers, she also had to do so in order to find the gongfu that belonged to her.
People with spiritless root attributes cultivated several times, or even tens of times, faster than others. Likewise, the various resources they need are also far superior to others. These resources, then, included cultivation techniques.
……
After the six of them left the Meteoric Immortal Place Void Market and Ning Cheng sacrificed the Starry Sky Wheel, Candy Shen and Duan Guan Yu realized why Mang Yong must invite Ning Cheng to join them.
Not to mention that this speed of the Starry Sky Wheel would have reduced countless crises for them, even in terms of time, it would have saved a large amount of time. If they had known that Ning Cheng had this kind of flying magic treasure, they would never have spoken up against it. Duan Guangyu vaguely glanced at Zhong Wuchen who had struck a ban as soon as he boarded the Starry Sky Wheel and seemed to be in a formation to sense some kind of merit technique. Finally, he still forced down the terrifying thought of wanting the Starry Sky Wheel.
He was well aware of Mang Yong’s shrewdness and tactics, if the Starry Sky Wheel was so easy to ask for, Mang Yong would not have invited this Ning Cheng, instead he would have just gotten the Starry Sky Wheel here. Don’t look at Mang Yong’s outward appearance of being a polite gentleman, but inwardly he would never be like that.
The Starship Wheel was spacious, Ning Cheng controlled the Starship Wheel, and each of them had set up temporary cultivation rooms on the deck, without interfering with each other.
Ning Cheng, however, called Peng Yu to him, “You said earlier that you knew where the Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal was?”
Peng Yu said respectfully, “Back to senior, yes. I have an impression that the Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal is only found in the Jiaqiang Sea. However, the Jiaqiang Sea is boundless, so with senior’s unparalleled skills, if he wanted to investigate the entire Jiaqiang Sea, he would not be able to do so without hundreds of years of time. If junior were to lead the way, finding the Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal would be a breeze.”
Ning Cheng cursed in his heart, this Zhong Wuchen was really unreliable. This fellow only said that there was the Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal in the Jiaquan Sea, but did not say how difficult it was to find. Anyway, this fellow was following him, as long as he had the Seven Bridges Realm Book to perceive, as for whether he could find the Illusory Sea Transition Crystal, this fellow was afraid that he didn’t put half of his heart into it.
As for bringing Peng Yu here, he was probably still afraid that he would waste his time by dragging him to look for the Illusory Sea Daoist Crystal. So, he simply found someone to help him find the Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal. If Peng Yu really knew the location of the Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal, that would be fine, but I was afraid that this fellow Zhong Wuchen would do it perfunctorily.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng’s face sank, “Peng Yu, could it be that you are talking nonsense? How treacherous and dangerous is the Jiaquan Mountain? With this level of cultivation you have, you crossed over the Jiaquan Mountain?”
Peng Yu said in an unhurried manner, “Senior Zhong also pointed out that I had taken a body before, and I had indeed been taken by someone, and indeed more than once. It is precisely because of having been taken over that junior knows something about the situation of the Jiaquan Mountain.”
“You tell me this matter honestly, if there is even half a word of deviation, don’t blame me for being ungracious.” Ning Cheng said in an icy tone.
“The junior does not dare.” Peng Yu hurriedly said, “Back then, my junior was cultivating in a relatively unusual immortal realm realm, and my junior’s qualifications and ability to perceive the Great Dao were considered good. After countless years of arduous cultivation and wandering between life and death, my junior finally succeeded in shaping my dao. Unfortunately, the realm where my junior was located was too low, and although my junior succeeded in shaping my dao, I was unable to follow the method and had great after-effects.”
“You continue, what happened afterwards?” Ning Cheng nodded, this he believed in what Peng Yu had said. Shaping the dao in the starry skies of the lower realms, even if one had obtained its method, the rules were not suitable. It was not impossible for the rules of the lower realms to shape the dao, causing one’s own dao to be deformed, or even to bind future development, or to simply disintegrate.
“Later on, my junior broke his arm and took the opportunity to be seriously injured in a great battle, and simply coalesced his dao into a seed. Then I let this seed absorb the dao rhythms of heaven and earth and brew my own dao anew.”
Peng Yu’s words made Ning Cheng sigh, this guy was really ruthless. To coalesce into a seed, once someone noticed it, it was likely that his god and soul would be destroyed and he would not even have the chance to reincarnate.
“To my junior’s credit, my junior’s seed finally perfected its own dao after being thrown into the void. At this time, someone obtained the seed of the late generation’s dao, and the late generation took the opportunity to succeed in seizing the body.”
Ning Cheng could only sympathise in his heart for the fellow that Peng Yu had taken over, anything could happen when one was cultivating in the starry sky.
“Go on, this is the first time you seized a shedding, what about the second time?” Ning Cheng gestured for Peng Yu to continue explaining about the shedding.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s expression ease, Peng Yu said even more calmly, “The second time when junior was trying out in the void, he met a remnant soul, this remnant soul came from across the Calvary Mountain, and he wanted to take a body from junior. Because the late generation was very concerned about taking over the body and had condensed its Yuan Shen for many years. This remnant soul, though powerful, was in tatters, and in the end, the late generation instead devoured the consciousness of this remnant soul’s Yuan Shen.”
