“There is a powerful concealment restriction here, there should be another room inside, why don’t we join hands to open this restriction?” Min Huxing turned his gaze towards Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng’s strength was not inferior to his, even if this hidden forbidden system contained the place where the Formless Daoist Monarch had left his treasures, he would not dare to think of taking it all for himself.
To be honest, Ning Cheng was very unwelcome to Min Huxing’s arrival. If Min Huxing had not come, he would only have entered this place alone. Now that Min Huxing had come and discovered this place, he could only choose to cooperate with Min Huxing.
“Yes, I’ll do it and break the formation, you assist.” After Ning Cheng finished speaking, he did not seek Min Huxing’s consent either and directly threw out dozens of formation flags.
Min Huxing originally wanted to ask Ning Cheng for a plan to break the formation, and if Ning Cheng did not have a good solution, he planned to find out the formation centre of the hidden prohibition himself and then attack it forcefully. Unexpectedly, Ning Cheng did not even wait for his consent and directly started to sacrifice the formation flags to break the formation.
A concealment forbidden formation that could conceal his divine sense and senses was definitely a top-tier great formation. Even he did not have the certainty to find the formation’s core for this kind of formation. Could it be that this fellow Daoist Ning in front of him was not only powerful, but also so powerful in his formation dao?
After tens of formation flags were thrown down, Ning Cheng dropped dozens more formation flags. After these hundred or so array flags were completely arranged, a vague outline of a forbidden formation suddenly appeared on the originally unexceptional stone wall. Even if Min Huxing’s level of formation dao was not very strong, he could still clearly find a solution to break the formation at this point.
Min Huxing looked at Ning Cheng with even more scruples in his gaze, the Min family was a large family, so he absolutely could not offend this person in front of him. To offend a formation powerhouse with such great strength and such a terrifying formation dao would simply be seeking death. Originally, Min Huxing, who only did not want to have much involvement with Ning Cheng, had already changed his strategy in his heart after seeing Ning Cheng’s powerful Dao of Formation.
“I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Ning’s level of formation dao to be so powerful, easily finding out where the core of the formation is. Next, leave it to me, within half a pillar of incense, I will definitely open this forbidden formation.” After Min Huxing had changed his strategy in his heart, he spoke in a more polite tone.
Ning Cheng smiled lightly, “No need.”
As he spoke, he once again threw out a formation flag, and the originally vague outline of the forbidden formation suddenly emitted a soft click, and a clear round door appeared before the eyes of the two.
Min Huxing sucked in a cold breath, the moment Ning Cheng showed the outline of this forbidden formation, he knew that Ning Cheng’s level of formation dao was powerful. However, he had not expected that Ning Cheng’s formation dao level would be so powerful to this extent. This was not breaking the formation, but directly opening the formation door.
“Fellow Daoist Ning ……” Min Huxing took a breath, but did not know what he should say to express his inner feelings.
“Dao friend Min, please enter.” As he spoke, Ning Cheng had already entered the room first, while his mouth could be polite with Min Huxing, his men would not be polite. This kind of treasure left behind by an ancient Daoist monarch, being polite was foolish. What’s more, he didn’t have any half-hearted friendship with Min Huxing, or even a gap. The reason why he took the initiative to break the formation was to leave Min Huxing speechless when it came time to divide the stuff.
If it was before the formation was broken, Min Huxing would never be half a step behind Ning Cheng, but now Min Huxing was consciously following after Ning Cheng. Obviously, Ning Cheng’s intention of taking the initiative to break the formation was also understood by him.
There was only a streak of grey bones in the room, and the surface of these bones were covered with cracks. The breeze brought up by the two people coming in because they did not care, caused one of the outermost bones to directly turn into nothingness.
A killing intent that invaded directly into the marrow of the bones and even into the Yuan Shen seeped through, and Ning Cheng subconsciously winced. Even Min Huxing was no exception, and similarly winced.
But that dao of killing intent still ignored the two men’s domains and blasted at their bodies, and Ning Cheng and Min Huxing simultaneously summoned their Dao Rhymes to resist.
“What a powerful axe intent.” Min Huxing muttered in shock.
After these words were uttered, he suddenly had a hint of sadness in his heart, and he even vaguely felt that his realm of creation was probably really a fake realm.
How long had the axe intent in this room lingered after killing the Formless Daoist Monarch? After all this time, he still came in still vaguely aware of the threat. If it had not been the Formless Daoist Monarch who had faced this axe intent, but him, he was afraid that he would not have been able to last even half a breath.
Ning Cheng did not say anything as his gaze fell on the mass of cracked bones on the ground. The cracked bones appeared in two piles on the ground, a terrifying killing intent spread in the middle, and this terrifying killing intent cracked the bones into two piles. Ning Cheng was certain that this cracked skeleton was the Formless Daoist Monarch.
Even if the Formless Daoist Monarch had died for a long time, and even the remains had turned into bones, and the bones were about to turn into nothingness, Ning Cheng could still feel the scene.
An axe ripple killing intent came down in the void and struck the Formless Daoist Monarch right at his waist, splitting the Formless Daoist Monarch into the axe rift of the Jiaquan Sea. The Formless Daoist Monarch with his supreme dao rhyme hardened to carry this axe intent, and then dug his way through the cracks to the Northern King’s residence.
After entering the Northern King’s residence, the Formless Daoist knew that his life would not be long in coming, so he handed a copy of the Taishi Long Heaven Skill to Northern King Nie Xiu, and then briefly told Nie Xiu about his experiences. If his guess was correct, then the experiences of the Formless Daoist Monarch carved on the outside should have been made by Nie Xiu.
After doing this, the Formless Daoist Monarch then entered a separate room and completely sealed the outside of this room with a forbidden formation. The reason why he did this was that he was afraid that the axe intent might harm the Northern King Nie Xiu.
This was why Nie Xiu’s bones were intact after his death, while even the Formless Daoist Monarch’s bones had to turn into nothingness after his death. After the Formless Daoist Monarch entered this place, that axe intent was gradually suppressed. The powerful and majestic axe intent turned the Formless Daoist into two pieces, and even then, that axe intent was still spreading. Eventually the remains of the Formless Daoist were also turned into two piles, the bone cracks being caused by the overpowering axe intent.
Ning Cheng subconsciously looked back at the forbidden formation that he had just broken open, and at this point, he finally understood why he could break through this forbidden formation. If he had come to break this forbidden formation when the Formless Daoist Monarch had just fallen, he would have had absolutely no chance.
After the fall of the Formless Daoist Monarch, this forbidden formation had been eroded by axe intent for an unknown number of years. It was because of this that he was able to break through this Forbidden Formation with ease.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng suddenly had an additional heaviness in his heart. The strength that he was proud of was actually really nothing if he placed it among the ancient times.
The Formless Daoist Monarch was many times more powerful than him, and even if the Formless Daoist Monarch was so powerful, he would not be able to block an axe pattern killing intent. One could imagine how powerful the person who had cleaved that axe stripe was.
And this powerful power who had struck the axe pattern killing intent could only end up being blown apart by someone who had shattered the Creation Immortality Axe and fallen.
As the saying goes, the strongest of the strong is the strongest of the strong.
As Ning Cheng and Min Huxing each had their own thoughts, a dead silence fell in the room. It was only after a while that Min Huxing said, “Fellow Daoist Ning, this must be where the Formless Daoist fell, and the Formless Daoist’s ring no longer exists, it should have turned into nothingness.”
The two men had come in and gotten nothing. Now the two were not disappointed, but a kind of loss.
“Have you ever heard of this person, the Formless Daoist Monarch?” Ning Cheng suddenly asked.
Min Huxing nodded, “I’ve heard of the Formless Daoist Monarch, an ancient great power. I have vaguely heard about him and the Taiyi Merging Realm, just not as clearly as I do now. The difference in cultivation between him and me is too great, a world apart. Even now, I can’t understand how the Formless Daoist Monarch merged with Taiyi, alas ……”
Even a proud and strong person like Min Huxing was a little disheartened at this time, and spoke with a sigh.
Ning Cheng said calmly, “I heard that Daoist Monarch Formless is also only at the Realm of Boundary Harmony, you are already at the Realm of Boundary Creation, so the difference between you and him is not that far.”
Min Huxing shook his head and unexpectedly did not show any other emotion at Ning Cheng’s words, but said despondently, “I finally understand now that that person was right, we are all false realms. In fact, the Dao that we have merged is the false Dao, and it is only strange that we can step into the third step after merging the false Dao. It’s just that all along, we’ve been living in self-deception.”
“That man? Who is he?” Ning Cheng immediately asked, Ning Hu Sheng’s status was clear to Ning Cheng, he was definitely a strong man among strong men in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. Such a strong person, and using such a tone of voice to say that person’s words, was that person a true Third Step?
Thinking that he would most likely stop here, Min Huxing already had the intention of befriending Ning Cheng, and faced with Ning Cheng’s query, he replied in a very serious manner, “He is the same as you, also at the Mixed Yuan cultivation level. Do you know why these people like Bitter Fish Sheng and Koji Yuan Zhengzhou were so scornful of you when you were only at the early stage of Mixed Yuan? You hadn’t fought Rusesi at that time.
The reason was because of him. Back then, he opened a Dan Pavilion in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and the Lou Family in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was also in the Dan business. The Lou family felt that he had provoked the Lou family’s authority and took the initiative to find fault to destroy that Dan Pavilion, while killing everyone in it, including one of his disciples. As a result, when he returned, he fought directly against the Lou Family. In the end, the Lou Family disappeared from the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and Lou Qianhe, the oldest ancestor of the Lou Family, never returned after fighting him out of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. At that time, he was still only in the middle stage of the Mixed Origin.”
So it was him, this was the second time Ning Cheng had heard about this person, he had heard that he was the Patriarch of the Sacred Dao Sect. The first time was when Xilin told him about it at the Ten Thousand Realms Auction, and from Xilin’s tone, Ning Cheng knew that this Sacred Dao Sect’s Patriarch was not only strong, but also powerful.
Together with the fact that Min Huxing, a strong person of the Realm of Creation, had said such words, Ning Cheng became more and more certain that the Sage Dao Sect’s Patriarch possessed Creation Treasures, he just did not know which kind of Creation Treasures he possessed.
It was also true that after the Great Battle of Creation back then, the treasures of creation were scattered everywhere, so if he could obtain the Xuanhuang Pearl, couldn’t others obtain the rest of the treasures?
“What’s his name?” Ning Cheng asked in a deep voice, back then, although he knew that the Sage Dao Sect Patriarch was very strong, he did not care much about it. At this moment, when Min Huxing was so scrupulous, Ning Cheng immediately became alert in his heart. Speaking of which, not only did he not have any friendship with this Sage Dao Sect’s Patriarch, he even had some minor grudges.
“The Sage Dao Sect’s Patriarch Ye Mo of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, none of the six powers on the surface of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven would dare to mess with his Ye Clan, even my Min Clan would not touch his interests.” There was a hint of helplessness in Min Huxing’s tone.
