Ning Cheng was overcome with emotion in his heart, before he had entered the Tai Su Realm, every time he advanced, he could feel how powerful he was. And now, after each advancement, he felt weak. The ignorant were fearless, perhaps speaking of that very mindset before.
As his cultivation level increased, the more people and things he came into contact with, the more he became aware of his own inadequacies. Even if one possessed the Xuanhuang Pearl, the treasure of creation, one could not necessarily stand above the pinnacle of this universe. There are equally people who are not inferior to oneself, and there are equally people who are stronger than oneself.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s pensive face, Xilin sighed and said, “Fellow Daoist Ning, the Seven Saha Realms will not be weaker than the Jiaquan Realm. After the Great Battle of Creation back then, the Seven Saha Realm’s strength was also greatly reduced, yet it did not lose its foundation. It is a good thing that Daoist Ning did not kill Duan Youxue. With the speed of the Seven Sahae Duan Clan, it wouldn’t take long if they were to come to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. I suggest that Fellow Daoist Ning hurry up and leave the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven and then return to Tai Su to think of a way out.”
Ning Cheng could naturally hear what Xilin meant beyond his words, which was for him to flee. Return to the Tai Su Realm and flee with the people around him. Given the relationship between him and Xilin, it was not easy for Xilin to say this.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly and said with a cupped fist, “Fellow Daoist Xi, just because you said that, I agree with you as a friend in the future. With the shameless behaviour of the Seven Shared Duan Clan that could relocate the wrath of the First Realm, even if I were to leave, I am afraid that the Seven Shared Duan Clan would not let go of the Ten Thousand Realms Auction, right?”
There was another sentence that Ning Cheng did not say, not to mention the Ten Thousand Realms Auction. If the Seven Shared Duan Clan was really so arrogant, even Feng Huang Mei would not be able to escape being implicated.
Xilin said helplessly, “I know, my Wanworld Auction is also considered to be of some origin, the Seven Shared End Clan will always show some mercy.”
Ning Cheng said unhurriedly, “Brother Ding is from the Sacred Dao Realm, so he will probably be implicated this time as well.”
Ding Jing slapped the table, “What kind of birds have I seen in the Sacred Dao Sect that I would be afraid of a Seven Shared Duan Clan? This time, it’s his Seven Shared Duan Clan that has taken the initiative to mess with me.” (Ding Jing had just advanced to the late stage of the Mixed Element, not just to the Mixed Element.)
If it was said that Xilin was implicated by Ning Cheng, then the grudge between Ding Ring and the Seven Sha Duan Clan had nothing to do with Ning Cheng.
“Fellow Daoist Tin, Brother Ding, my idea is that since we can’t escape, we might as well join forces. Please also trouble Daoist Brother Xi to invite the Feng Huang Mei Heavenly Lord ……”
Tin Lin shook his head and interrupted Ning Cheng’s words, “Fellow Daoist Ning, I’m afraid that Heavenly Lord Feng won’t get into this mess, he can’t take himself out of the way, so how would he take the initiative to join in?”
Ning Cheng was about to speak when he heard a slightly tired voice come out, “Fellow Daoist Ning is right, I will indeed take the initiative to join in.”
Ning Cheng raised his hand to open the ban on the doorway, and a yellow-browed man walked in.
Xilin and Ding Quang hurriedly stood up, clasped their fists and asked for a salute, “Greetings to the Heavenly Lord Daoist Monarch.”
Ning Cheng also stood up and clasped his fist in greeting. In his heart, he had a few moments of admiration, the forbidden system he had just set up casually, and the fact that Feng Huang Mei could hear them meant that he was indeed far stronger than Xilin.
Huang Mei Heavenly Lord’s Daoist name was Feng Jiu, but the people all called him Heavenly Lord Daoist, just because he was the Heavenly Lord of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
Feng Huang Mei hurriedly greeted the crowd and waited to sit down before he said with a long sigh, “Fellow Daoist Ning is right, with the arrogance and savagery of the Seven Shared End Clan. I reckon they wouldn’t care if I made a move or not, and if they really got angry, not to mention Fellow Daoist Ning’s Tai Su Realm, if it wasn’t important here, they would have broken even the Xuanhuang Heavenly Outer Heaven. They already had as many as several planetary realms because of the ones they had broken.
There is no way back for me, and as Daoist Ning said, we all have more power when we unite. Unfortunately, several of the strongest people in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven are not here, and I don’t know when they will return.”
Ning Cheng knew very well where those few powerful people from the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven were trapped, if he did not have a Returning Head Bodhi Seed, not to mention advancing to the late stage of the Mixed Origin, he was afraid that he would have fallen under that Axe Stripe of the Jiaquan Sea.
The addition of Feng Huang Mei made both Xilin and Ding Jing very happy. It was Ning Cheng who was also in a good mood, with Feng Huang Mei, a strong person of the Realm of Creation realm, sitting at the helm, the bottom was much stronger no matter what. Whether Feng Huang Mei was a true realm or a false realm, it was true that he had touched the third step.
The level of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven Realm Protective Formation was extremely high, and even Ning Cheng was unable to set up such a top-level protective formation. Now with the addition of Feng Huang Mei, he could discuss with Feng Huang Mei and the others to blockade the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven and then set up some trapping formations in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. If the Seven Shared Duan Clan really tore their faces apart, then one would come and kill one, two would come and kill a pair, there was nothing to worry about.
After Feng Huang Mei had said something, he paused slightly for a while before looking at Ning Cheng and asking, “Fellow Daoist Ning, do you have a more appropriate solution to this matter?”
“If the Seven Shared Duan Clan were to come looking for trouble, I guess the first place they would find me is here. My idea is to set up a trapping and killing formation, as well as restrict access to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. Not everyone can enter the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and if they enter the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, they will be governed by the rules here. If any person came to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Outer Sky, they could also circle the land, and there would be no point in the Xuanhuang Heavenly Outer Sky existing.” Ning Cheng said.
He was not just saying that, the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven had always been peaceful because there were too many forces, and everyone was holding each other in check. But once a strong person came and casually circled the land here, no one would come out to take care of it.
This time, it was the Holy Dao Sect’s Ding Jing’s head that was circled, but if it was a casual cultivator who didn’t have much to do, I guess that casual cultivator would only be able to meekly move aside.
“This matter is easier said than done, it’s too difficult to do.” Feng Huang Mei shook his head.
Ning Cheng knew what Feng Huang Mei was worried about, it was the remaining powers of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. He immediately said, “There is no need to worry, Lord Feng, the remaining few realm-making powers in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven and I are familiar with each other. I believe that when we sit down together to discuss this matter, they will not be unreasonable.”
Ding Jing said with a clap of his hands, “This is the very thing, my Sacred Dao Sect was supposed to take the lead in this matter. It’s just that the Patriarch has too much on his plate and has not been available. For Brother Ning to take the lead on this matter now will only benefit the Xuanhuang Heaven Beyond.”
“Good, since both Fellow Daoist Ding and Fellow Daoist Ning think it is feasible, I, Feng Huang Mei, will naturally not stand in the way of this matter.” Feng Huang Mei said with a slight hesitation. In fact, what Ning Cheng said was only one aspect of his worry, there was another aspect that he decided to talk to Ning Cheng about later. That was that it would be fine if the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was blocked before, but now it was somewhat difficult.
Seeing that Xilin also indicated that it was feasible, Ning Cheng then continued, “Let’s talk about this matter after we have blocked the Seven Saha Duan Clan, before that I would like to ask about one thing. I heard Daoist Friend Xi say that with a powerful realm like the Seven Shared Duan Clan, it had previously been very dismissive of this place in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. Even when they came over, they merely passed by, so this time when Duan Youxue wants to circle and reside in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, does it have something to do with that Fang Qi, or is it because of some other reason?”
If Duan Youxue was so arrogant as to circle in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, to say that there was no gesture from the Seven Shared Duan Clan behind it, Ning Cheng would never believe it. Duan Youxue was strong, but there were countless people who were stronger than her in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, so who was she, Duan Youxue, to circle the land here?
As for Fang Qi’s persuasion, it was possible, but even if Fang Qi could influence Duan Youxue, he probably could not influence the Seven Shared Duan Clan yet.
Both Xilin and Ding Jing did not say anything, and only Feng Huang Mei’s face showed helplessness. Seeing that Ning Cheng and the others were looking at him, he sighed and said, “Actually, this is really an unwarranted disaster, not only the Seven Saha Realms, but even the rest of the great realms, there are people passing through the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven recently. I would have talked about this matter later, but since Fellow Daoist Ning asked about it, I will simply say it all together.”
“Heavenly Lord Feng, now we are on the same side. If there’s anything, naturally, we can all speak out and we can figure it out together.” Ning Cheng said in a very dry manner.
Feng Huang Mei said gruffly, “I wonder if the few of you had heard about the creation of the Indestructible Axe coalescing into shape not too long ago?”
Both Xilin and Ding Jing nodded, and Xilin even said, “Yes, indeed I have heard of this matter. I heard that the Creation Immortality Axe was re-condensed and formed in an inconspicuous place called Bu Zhou Peak, and for this matter, many cultivators who possessed the remnants of the Creation Immortality Axe were seriously injured, or even fell.”
Ning Cheng also nodded, not only had he heard about this matter, but he had also seen it with his own eyes.
Feng Huang Mei said with a bitter face, “The imperishable peak where that imperishable axe took shape was located in a void on the outskirts of Jiaquan Mountain, and many people had seen it at that time. Many people had fallen because of the formation of the Undying Axe. There were likewise many who survived, and these surviving cultivators spread the word to the Heavens Beyond, and then quite naturally to the realms surrounding the Heavens Beyond. In addition, at the time when the Indestructible Axe was taking shape, the entire vast void was filled with the sound of Dao rhythms roaring, this matter could not be faked at all.”
“Are you saying that the Seven Shared Duan Clan also came to search for the Undying Axe?” Ning Cheng already had a bad feeling in his heart, if the Seven Saha Duan Clan had come to search for the Axe of Indestructibility, then people from other realms could come to search for the Axe of Indestructibility as well.
Feng Huang Mei nodded with a somewhat heavy heart, “That’s right, the Seven Shao Duan Clan has come to search for the Undying Axe. It was because the news of the Undying Axe had made the Seven Shared Duan Clan realise the importance of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. They wanted to get ahead of the game and set up a residence in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. It was also because of this that they circled the land. That Duan Youxue is just a front runner for the Seven Sha Duan Clan.”
After saying that, Feng Huang Mei pointed at the seven willows of the circle land sign in Ning Cheng’s courtyard and said with a bitter smile, “Do several people think that this circle land sign of theirs is for the owner of this piece of land? Actually, no, this circle land sign was for people from other realms to see. For the people of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, they really don’t look at it.”
Hearing this, Ding Jing snorted coldly, “Come on then, I’d like to see just how capable they are.”
Xilin’s heart was even more worried, and he didn’t even have the thought to speak. No wonder the Heavenly Lord was so scornful, dare I say that the Seven Shared Duan Clan was only the tip of the iceberg among the forces that were going to invade the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven?
Ning Cheng stood up instead, “Heavenly Lord Feng, it’s a blessing but not a curse, it’s a curse that can’t be avoided. Since we are here, we should not be afraid. Even if we hide and get out of the way and kneel to welcome people, they won’t be grateful for this and will do the same if they should. I do agree with Brother Ding’s words, so let’s come, let’s each see what we can do.”
