Seeing Xing Xi leave, Ye Mo’s face changed slightly, then he shoved the remnants of the magic treasure in his hand to Ning Cheng, “This woman doesn’t have that kind of law world, so it’s useless even if she goes first. But I can’t delay any longer, so this is for you. While I am away, remember to look after the Sacred Dao Sect for me.”
After saying this, Ye Mo hurriedly greeted a few judges and instantly teleported away from the spatial formation gate.
Ning Cheng knew very well in his heart that this topic had not only given him enlightenment, it had likewise given Ye Mo and Xing Xi enlightenment as well. There was no telling where the Daoist land the two of them were going to compete for was, but unfortunately his cultivation level was too weak and he was not qualified to participate in it at the moment.
Looking at the fragment of the magic treasure in his hand, Ning Cheng sighed in his heart. If it wasn’t for the Gate of Creation, he and Ye Mo had similar temperaments and might have become the best of friends.
However, as soon as the Gate of Creation opened, they were bound to have a fight. Cultivating for a lifetime, both he and Ye Mo were afraid that it would be hard to let go.
Putting these thoughts aside, Ning Cheng’s gaze fell on the Dharma Treasure Fragment in his hand, and only then did he feel that something was wrong. The Dharma Treasure remnant in his hand was clearly a piece of material, and even though it had not been completely purified, it had already completed the degradation of the Dharma Treasure and was reverting towards a material.
It was only at this point that Ning Cheng understood the meaning of Ye Mo’s last statement, that was Ye Mo knew that he had run out of Dharma Treasure remnants to purify, so he gave him the purified Dharma Treasure remnants. With the trend of reduction of this magic treasure remnant in his hand, as long as he put in a little more effort, there would obviously not be any problem in taking the first place.
It was precisely because there was no problem taking first place that Ye Mo asked himself to help take care of the Sacred Dao Sect in passing, which showed that Ye Mo was not willing to take advantage of him.
Ning Cheng did not continue to purify the material of the Dharma Treasure remnants in his hands, he wanted to sense these things, he had plenty of Dharma Treasure remnants in his ring.
“Judge He, this is the purified fragment of Ye Mo, the Sage Dao Sect’s Patriarch, he left because of an urgent matter and asked me to help turn this fragment in.” Ning Cheng did not want Ye Mo’s result, even if he did not participate in the next two rounds, with his result in the first competition, he would still be able to get a piece of the Realm in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
“Alright, I’ll make a note of it.” He Lanfeng nodded and collected the fragmented materials that Ning Cheng had handed him. He had seen it long ago when Ye Mo handed the material to Ning Cheng. Of course if Ning Cheng didn’t say that Ye Mo had given it to him, he wouldn’t have pointed it out just yet.
……
The Dou Weapon was much longer than the Dou Dan, and it took three whole days for the second competition, the Dou Weapon, to end.
Ning Cheng under the tournament stage watched as the many participants took three days to restore some plausible materials, and could not help but sigh even more at the power of Ye Mo. Although Ye Mo’s piece of magic treasure remnant was also far from being reduced to a material, his piece of remnant already had a direction of reduction. This was far stronger than the many participants who had merely refined the forbidden dao rhymes and refinement traces of the fragment.
Do you know how much time Ye Mo had only spent before and after? Whereas these contestants had spent a full three days.
All the magic treasure fragments were collected by He Lan Feng and the seven judges began to judge the competition. Because no one was able to restore the material prototypes intact this time, the judging took a lot more time.
After another half day had passed, and after Daoist Monarch Wang Shan and the others had retreated to the judging table, He Lanfeng walked to the middle of the stage, holding three jade plates.
The spirits of those watching the battle on the stage were lifted, and all knew that the results were out.
Sure enough He Lanfeng pointed to the three jade plates suspended in front of him and said, “The results of the second weapon fighting competition have come out, the third place winner is Fellow Daoist Yi Chenghui of the Sanyuan Realm, the second place winner is Fellow Daoist Yi Qianling of the Nine Heavens Realm, and the first place winner is Fellow Daoist Ye Mo of the Sacred Dao Realm.”
Unlike Fei Yin who was presiding over the competition, Cargo Lan Feng not only named the top three, but also the realm where the top three were located.
The three restored materials were hovering on the tournament stage, and at this moment, the ban on the stage was completely open, so anyone’s divine sense could observe the degree of restoration of the three fragments.
Ning Cheng also saw the extent of the restoration of these three fragments, both Period Cheng Shui and Yi Qian Ling had only managed to strip away the Dao rhythm aura and restore some of the material’s characteristics. It was still too far from restoration. Ye Mo’s treasure fragment, on the other hand, not only restored most of the material’s characteristics, but also gave people a vein to follow. Even along this vein, the prototype of the material could be restored.
Seeing this, Ning Cheng’s heart suddenly moved, and he finally understood the value of Ye Mo’s magic treasure fragment. Ye Mo had given him this magic treasure remnant not just to get him a ranking, but more importantly, it was a kind of stripping of the dao veins.
According to this level of reduction, as long as one gave time to feel it, any person could slowly touch a hint of the Great Dao in it.
Ning Cheng also guessed some of the reasons why Ye Mo had to be so generous, this was apart from the fact that he and Ye Mo both came from Earth, it was probably because he had saved Yimo a few times and used this to show his gratitude to him.
This gratitude was not spoken, but was done more beautifully than said.
At this point in time, both Cheng Shui and Yi Qian Ling were already on the stage, so Ning Cheng did not hesitate and hurriedly flew and landed on top of the stage. This piece of Ye Mo’s still raw material, he absolutely could not fall into the hands of others. Likewise, he himself would not be able to sense the traces of the Great Dao that Ye Mo had left in this material.
Since they were going to fight at the Gate of Creation, they would rely on their true abilities. Touching someone else’s aura of the Great Dao and then using such means to fight for it would indeed have a better chance of winning. Ning Cheng, however, did not want to do this, if Ye Mo was his deadly rival, he would not care to use such means. Ye Mo obviously wasn’t, and by doing so, he was going against his own dao heart.
“Fellow Daoist Ning, can this material be sold to me?” As Ning Cheng picked up Ye Mo’s piece of debris, He Lanfeng suddenly asked.
Ning Cheng shook his head and said with a smile, “I can’t hand this material over, I’m really sorry about that.”
Handing this material over would be the same as revealing Ye Mo’s direction of the Great Dao. It might not affect Ye Mo much, but it devalued the value of this material. It would be too worthless to casually hand over something of this grade.
Ning Cheng intended to give the fragment to Ye Mo’s daughter, the reason he didn’t say anything about it, that was to make people think that the material was in his possession. Ning Cheng believed that Ye Mo had already thought that he would not give the material to someone else.
He and Ye Mo had only joined forces a few times, and at the same time both he and Ye Mo knew very well what kind of person the other party was.
He Lan Feng also seemed to know that his request was a bit too much and smiled awkwardly at Ning Cheng before he said aloud, ”The second competition is over, now for the third competition, the talisman fight. The talisman fight will be hosted by Daoist Shen Mo of the Uninjured Realm.”
Shen Mo landed on the tournament stage, a very elegant looking man. Despite only being at the early stage of the Harmonious Realm, Ning Cheng felt the aura of a side of emptiness on him.
This was a top-level powerhouse, Ning Cheng secretly said in his heart. I guess don’t look at He Lan Feng’s realm as being one level higher than Shen Mo’s, he might not necessarily be a match for this Shen Mo.
Ning Cheng knew that the three items Ye Mo had reported were Dou Dan, Dou Weapon and Dou Talisman, and now that Ye Mo was not there, this Dou Talisman was naturally forfeited.
Shen Mo clasped his fist, “Fellow Daoists, I am Shen Mo from the Uninjured Realm. There are a total of six hundred and seventy-one participants in this talisman fight, and the competition will be hosted by me. The rules of the competition are also very simple, that is, everyone will provide their own materials, and the winner will be the one who makes the highest grade talisman with the highest value. I now declare that the talisman competition will begin. Please go up to the stage and refine your own talismans, and the competition will last for two hours.”
The rules of this competition are indeed simple, it is like a competition between two people who are talented, you take out your bank cards and whoever has more money in them is talented.
This kind of talisman fighting competition was most dependent on the materials. It could be said that as long as you had precious materials, with these tournament rules, even if you were weaker, you might still win.
This had nothing to do with Ning Cheng, who had not participated in the talisman fighting competition at all.
Ning Cheng had studied fewer talismans, and after entering the Astral Plane, his main directions were all on the Dao of Formation, Dao of Weapons and Dao of Dan. To him, he felt that the most complex and arcane was the Dao of Formation.
At this moment, when he saw hundreds of people refining talismans on the stage, he felt that the mysteries of the Dao of Talismans would not be weaker than the Dao of Formations.
Those talisman refiners could outline a mysterious dao rhyme trajectory with the lift of their hands, which was similar to what he had done when refining weapons and carving formation bases.
Ning Cheng’s gaze soon fell on one of them, not that this person was stronger than the others in refining talismans, but that he knew this person. It was Nian Yan who had disappeared for a long time, he did not expect Nian Yan to actually appear here.
Ning Cheng had seen Nian Yan’s Dao of Dan and Dao of Formation. Back in the Taiyi Realm, Nian Yan’s Dao of Formation was estimated to be that much stronger than his, he did not expect that Nian Yan was actually an expert in refining talismans.
When Nian Yan came, he wondered if Han Han Rui was well. Since Nian Yan had come, why didn’t she find him?
If Nian Yan was not refining talismans, at this moment Ning Cheng would have gone over to ask about it.
“Boom boom boom ……” An hour quickly passed, and Ning Cheng was guessing that Nian Yan was going to finish refining the talisman in his hand when he heard a burst of Dao rhythmic booming sounds resounding in the void.
Not only Ning Cheng, but almost all the people in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven Square looked towards the void. All eyes then focused on a talisman hovering in the void of the tournament stage, which was grey in colour, but was suffused with a powerful Dao rhythm rule aura after another.
Ning Cheng drew a cold breath, in just one hour, he had created a talisman that triggered the Dao rhythms of heaven and earth, how powerful was the person who created the talisman? How powerful was the person who made the talisman? How powerful was this talisman?
Ning Cheng’s gaze moved away from the talisman suspended in the air and shifted to the person who had refined this talisman. This was an extremely young looking man, even younger than him just from his appearance.
This young man was frowning at the talisman that had caused the dao rhythms of the void to roar above his head, and seemed to have a great deal of dissatisfaction.
