Other feats were indifferent to Ning Cheng, and when the Strength Feats appeared, Ning Cheng was greatly interested. The strength merit method was ranked fifth, but this ranking was relative. It was as if the one ranked first on the armament list was killed by the one ranked second, and the one ranked second was killed by the one ranked third.
When strength was strong to the extreme, it was not impossible to take out someone who cultivated the Creation Technique.
Ning Cheng knew that all the people here were somewhat wary of each other, even between him and Zhong Wuchen, they were just using each other. Even if he was the weakest in cultivation, he did not have to worry about several people joining forces against him alone. As long as there was a chance, it was not impossible for him to obtain the Power Technique.
Not to mention that the fall of the Broken Void Daoist Monarch was here, so there might be other good things. There was just some hesitation in his heart whether he should go first to find the Creation Void Breaking Technique or whether he should go first to find the Immaculate Water.
Seeing the longing in Ning Cheng and Zhong Wuchen’s eyes, Bitter Fish Sheng once again said, “Daoist Friend Zhong, Daoist Friend Ning. Although we are all aiming for one goal, we have consumed a great deal of energy in order to find this place and open the Desolate Void Breaking Tablet at the same time. Daoist Friend Yuanzhou and Daoist Friend Tianchi were originally teamed up with us, and they had also contributed a great deal to our previous actions. So ……”
This was to be a benefit, Ning Cheng was indifferent. When he saw the violent dao rhyme explode here earlier, he knew that Bitter Fish Sheng was not telling lies, and that several people should have contributed some effort. When Bitter Fish Sang wanted them to join, he also wanted to have more strength in numbers, not really how noble.
“Boom” came another violent explosion of rules, and a violent vortex of Dao rhymes swept in, blasting directly on top of several people’s protective domain.
The faces of several people did not change for a moment, in this part of the Jiaquan Mountain, it was strange that there were no explosions triggered by the impact of broken rules.
Ning Cheng’s face, however, changed slightly, as this time, the rule collision explosion was not far from here, but was within the range of the location where Peng Yu had given him the Immaculate Water.
“Old Zhong, you go in and look for the chance, I’ll go and see what goodies are in the area of the explosion.” After Ning Cheng finished speaking, he simply did not have time to talk nonsense to the rest of the people and disappeared without a trace in a flash of his body.
Zhong Wuchen knew what Ning Cheng was going to do and did not care, instead, he said to the few people who were puzzled by Bitter Fish Sheng, “What Daoist Bitter said is extremely true, how about this, if we find any treasures later, I will be the last to choose in the first round, how about that?”
Zhong Wuchen knew very well that even if he didn’t choose last, he would still be the weakest here.
“Alright, it’s a deal.” Bitter Fish Sheng immediately clapped his hands, and the few of them no longer cared about the distant Ning Cheng, joining forces to conceal the Ancient Desolate Void Breaker Tablet once again and entered the canyon.
……
Violent dao rhyme rules blasted out continuously, Ning Cheng’s heart was anxious for the Unsullied Water, and he was hit by the blasted dao rhyme vortex more than a few times along the way.
“Boom,” a Dao rhyme containing great power blasted Ning Cheng’s chest, and Ning Cheng was almost blasted and spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, he also arrived at the edge of the broken rule explosion, which was a black river, not because the water was black. Rather, it was because the river was filled with black vines, which looked dense, as if they were entwined with black worms, and carried some mucus, making one’s scalp tingle at the sight.
This kind of vine Ning Cheng knew, it was called the Spirit Devouring Vine. The Spirit Devouring Vine could devour everything that contained Yuan Qi, whether it was a divine spirit herb or a cultivator, as long as you contained Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, that was what this vine liked to devour the most. Apart from devouring, this vine can also form a powerful vortex of suction when stirred together. This vortex can suck down everything that passes over it, and then turn it into its own nutrients.
What makes the Spirit Devouring Vine so disgusting, apart from its love of devouring everything that contains vital energy, is that it is not just of the vegetation type. Even if this vine is cut off, it can still twist and turn, then change places and plunge into the earth, quickly becoming alive and multiplying again.
The river is dry, without a drop of water, and the bottom is full of these disgusting spirit-devouring vines that twist and turn together.
In the middle of the river, broken rules kept crashing together with a burst of sound.
Ning Cheng quickly understood what was going on, and in the very centre of the river was a man with a full beard, and this man had a flying magic treasure in the shape of a round drum under his feet.
Underneath this round drum magic treasure was a patch of Dao rhyme blade arrows. An endless number of spirit-devouring vines tried to bypass the drum and strangle the bearded man, but none of them could succeed. As soon as all the Spirit Devouring Vines came within three feet of the drum, they would be strangled to pieces by the Dao Rhyme Blade Mane.
It was just that the Spirit-Devouring Vine was so powerful that after being strangled into dregs, it immediately regenerated again and then rushed up to be stirred up once more.
Despite the fact that the Spirit-Devouring Vines kept pounding the drum, the bearded man did not care in the slightest. In fact, these spirit-devouring vines were not even half a threat to him, and as soon as the long whip in his hand twisted in the void, a crack appeared in the void above the black river. A drop of colourless water fell down, and without waiting for the drop to fall to the ground, the bearded man took out a jade bottle and caught the drop in it.
Immaculate water, Ning Cheng’s heart was in a great hurry. What he was anxious about was not just that the Unsullied Water had been taken away by this bearded man, what he was even more anxious about was that this guy had taken away the Unsullied Water with a jade bottle, even if he had purchased the Unsullied Water from the bearded man, it would still become waste.
Ning Cheng did not hesitate any longer, and with a spread of his Heavenly Cloud wings, his entire body rushed towards the middle of the Black River.
According to the information provided by Peng Yu, the Unsullied Water was right above this river. It was just that it was difficult to find the exact location.
Ning Cheng did not know through what means the bearded man had searched for the Unsullied Water, and now he could only feel for it himself.
As soon as Ning Cheng entered the Black River, the endless and dense Spirit Devouring Vines under his feet spread up frantically, trying to sweep him in.
At the same time, a violent and terrifying vortex of suction came, pulling Ning Cheng almost into the Black River. It was only at this moment that Ning Cheng realised how strong that bearded fellow was. Spirit Devouring Vines also had ranks, and almost all of the Spirit Devouring Vines in this Black River were to an extremely high rank.
At this point in time, could Ning Cheng have any hesitation. A green-blue flame turned into a fire cloud under his feet, and the infinite Spirit Devouring Vines that rushed over were directly turned into flying ashes as soon as they touched the fire cloud.
After the first mass of Spirit-Devouring Vines turned into flying ashes, more Spirit-Devouring Vines swept in frantically. It was just that the Star River Flames were too powerful, and even though these Spirit Devouring Vines were terrifying, they could not rush past the Star River Flames and roll over Ning Cheng’s body.
Although the bearded man’s round drum was strong, it was not as crisp as the Star River Flames, which directly turned the Spirit Devouring Vines into flying ashes. In the location where the Star River Flame extended, there was no longer any room for the Spirit Devouring Vine to survive.
The Spirit Devouring Vine was a low level intelligence spirit value, and even a low level intelligence still had intelligence. After only a dozen breaths, those Spirit Devouring Vines did not dare to rush towards Ning Cheng again, an act of certain death that they could equally feel.
“Huh.” The man with a full beard swept down Ning Cheng with a startled eek, his gaze landing on Ning Cheng’s Star River Flame. He was not someone without insight, and one look at Ning Cheng’s flames told him that it was the top-tier Heavenly Flame Star River Red.
There was actually someone who had advanced the Star River Red to such a level, how come he had not seen this person before? The man with a full beard once again looked at Ning Cheng’s face and found that he had indeed never seen Ning Cheng before.
Ning Cheng was not in the mood to bother with this man with a full beard, his divine sense instantly penetrated out and pounced on all the details of this side of space, including any slight spatial fluctuations.
An incense stick of time passed like this, and an hour passed like this. Ning Cheng did not gain anything, while the bearded man once again harvested a drop of Immaculate Water. Moreover, this man always followed Ning Cheng not far away, and even though he did not say much, Ning Cheng could tell that he was interested in his own Star River Flame.
Seeing the bearded man using the jade bottle to collect the Immaculate Water again, Ning Cheng only wanted to curse the rats for eating the barley and spoiling the food.
However, after just a few breaths of time, Ning Cheng’s face just revealed wild joy, he had finally found a way to find the Unsullied Water.
Above this black river, there was a kind of space that was faintly visible, a space that he could barely feel. If it wasn’t for the bearded man who had collected two drops of Unsullied Water, letting him know about the aura of Unsullied Water, as well as his extreme sensitivity to the rules of heaven and earth, he would definitely not have been able to find this kind of space on his own.
The reason why he could not feel it was because there was a kind of space here. This kind of space was hidden above the Black River, a space without any rules, just like the Land of Broken Rules, and different from it. In the space without any rules, there were traces of a water-attribute Dao rhythm hidden in it.
This was it, Ning Cheng’s strong divine sense had finally found such a space hidden in space, without any rules or any flow of time.
Ning Cheng shifted his feet to one side, and the ripples of the Creation Divine Spear curled up as a crack appeared before Ning Cheng’s eyes. Without waiting for this crack to widen, the crystal vial that Ning Cheng had refined with the Illusory Sea Transmigration Crystal in his hand had already been thrown out. A drop of almost invisible water landed right in the Illusory Sea Transmutation Crystal Vial, and was first placed in a ban by Ning Cheng.
Having received a drop of Immaculate Water with such simplicity, Ning Cheng was overjoyed in his heart.
“Huh, a jade bottle made from Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal? Where did you find something like Illusory Sea Ferry Crystal?” The man with a full beard finally could not help but ask Ning Cheng.
Before Ning Cheng could speak, the Black River suddenly split open and a Spirit Devouring Vine that was tens of feet thick in circumference burst out from the bottom of the river. Then it split into endless tentacles and rolled towards Ning Cheng and the man with the beard at the same time.
When this Spirit Devouring Vine rushed out from the bottom of the Black River, the already messy rules of the space where Ning Cheng was located directly shattered away. A violent devouring aura filled the heaven and earth, and in this violent aura that devoured the heaven and earth, Ning Cheng could only feel his own insignificance.
The bearded man was still paying attention to Ning Cheng, when he saw this thick Spirit Devouring Vine rushing out, he almost didn’t even think about it, he directly slapped out a talisman and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
As soon as the bearded man left, this king-like Spirit Devouring Vine even more frantically blocked the space where Ning Cheng was.
