“Brother Shi, it looks like I underestimated this Ning Cheng, the third level is actually straight up number one, awesome, awesome ……” said Ju Ju, who was standing next to Tang Shi, with a sigh.
Tang Shi was equally shocked in his heart, where would he have thought that Ning Cheng had not only stormed into the top three, but he had done so with the first place in the third level.
Ju Guan’s words did not mean that he had underestimated Ning Cheng, they clearly meant that he had underestimated Tong Shi. As for being powerful and formidable, that was obviously also about him, Tong Shi.
His heart also rose with some anticipation, if Ning Cheng really got the first place, what was the harm in taking the blame?
“Holy Lord is overpraised, this Ning Cheng was really brought back by Hua’er unintentionally, I didn’t have any contact with him, I didn’t expect him to have this kind of ability.” Tong Shi was full of smiles as he explained to Ju Ju, as well as the few powerful people around him.
“Brother Shi, it is too much to call the Holy Lord, I do have a matter to discuss with you.” Ju exhausted suddenly had a straight face and transmitted a voice to Tang Shi.
In his heart, Tong Shi knew somewhat what Ju Guan wanted to discuss, but he still transmitted his voice and asked, “I don’t know what Brother Ju has to order, as long as Tong Shi can help, Tong Shi will definitely do his best to help.”
A joyful smile immediately appeared on Ju Guan’s face, “It’s not really a big deal, there is something in the Light Vault that is extremely useful to me. If Hua’er is the first one to enter the Light Vault, I would like to exchange this item for another treasure, I wonder what Brother Shi thinks?”
Tong Shi secretly sighed in his heart, this was indeed the case, and he cautiously replied, “Brother Ju, if there is no agreement between Hua’er and that Ning Cheng, I will definitely help Hua’er agree on this matter. If she has an agreement with that alchemist, I can only persuade from there.”
With a smile piled on his face, Ju Guan said, “That’s natural.”
While saying this, Ju Guan’s heart was already a little uncomfortable. Ning Cheng was an artificer invited by the Tong Family, and all signs indicated that Ning Cheng had a great relationship with the Tong Family. Now Tong Shi was still saying that he did not know about the secret agreement between Tong Hua and Ning Cheng, who was he fooling?
“Master Ning is so skilled.” Grandmaster Luo Sa suddenly said with a smile as he looked at Ning Cheng.
After the last round of identifying the materials Master Seed Mirror had taken the initiative to seek out Ning Cheng to speak, and after this round of identifying the materials, Master Luo Sa took the initiative to seek out Ning Cheng to speak. Clearly, in the eyes of these two Masters, Ning Cheng had become the number one formidable enemy.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “I am just taking my chances, I am still far from Master Luo Sa.”
Grandmaster Seed Mirror walked over and said with a smile, “It’s just the three of us now, Grandmaster Ning, Grandmaster Luo Sa, please.”
This time, Master Seed Mirror did not grab a seat and automatically extended his hand to invite Ning Cheng and Master Luo Sa to go first. Not only that, he directly raised Ning Cheng’s title to the level of Master.
Ning Cheng was not polite as he was the first to walk towards the white jade avenue leading to the fourth gate.
Master Seed Mirror grabbed a step ahead and walked up to Ning Cheng and asked, “Master Ning, when answering that drop of black water, I saw Master Ning answer the fastest. Could it be that Grandmaster Ning has seen this material before?”
Ning Cheng secretly said in his heart, “Not only have I seen it, my Divine Gun of Creation was refined from the Five Elements Divine Water.
He was too lazy to explain this to Seed Mirror, “I was just taking my chances, how could I have seen all the materials.”
Ning Cheng’s obviously perfunctory words caused Master Seed Mirror’s face to look a little ugly. Don’t look at him as not being very warm to many people, but in the Bright Sky, whether it was Saint Lord Ju Ju or the Ten Great Dao Monarchs, when they saw him, they had to respectfully address him as Master Seed Mirror. There was really no one who answered his words as casually and perfunctorily as Ning Cheng.
“Grandmaster Ning, I have a matter to discuss with Brother Ning.” Seed Mirror directly transmitted a voice to Ning Cheng this time.
Ning Cheng smiled and said without transmitting any sound at all, “I wonder what Master Seed Mirror has to discuss with me? As long as it doesn’t affect me in any way, I won’t mind.”
Master Luo Sa looked at Master Seed Mirror in puzzlement, then he understood what was going on and immediately frowned a little.
Seed Mirror did not expect Ning Cheng to disrespect him so much, he had clearly transmitted his voice just now, but Ning Cheng had chosen to say it out loud, this was simply a contempt for him.
There were a total of six people here, so he did not continue to say more, but smiled, “I’ll talk about it after this round of material identification is finished.”
Ning Cheng laughed and did not deny it. He knew what Seed Mirror wanted to say even though he had not said it. He and Seed Mirror did not have any interactions, and the thing that Seed Mirror wanted to ask him for help with was definitely the first treasure that he would take after entering the Light Vault. It should be that Seed Mirror had his eye on a certain kind of treasure, but was worried that he would enter the Vault of Light and take it first.
Within the fourth gate, the six people stood still, and after Ning Cheng and the three of them took the jade talisman, the jade box on the rectangular jade table also slowly opened.
In fact, at this moment, Ning Cheng was not only looking forward to the contents of this jade box, but also to the Light Vault. He hadn’t even entered the Light Vault yet, and just from identifying the materials in front of him, he had seen such treasures as the Inflamed Heart Sacred Marrow and the Five Elements Divine Water. Going inside the Light Vault, could that treasure be any worse?
The materials in this fourth level would surely not be worse than something like the Five Elements Divine Water, right?
After opening the jade box, Ning Cheng was once again dumbfounded, he didn’t recognise it. The item in the jade box was simple, only a black nail.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, it looked like there was no chance for the first one. The good thing was that even if he didn’t recognise it, he could still make it to the top three.
Once Ning Cheng’s heart was balanced, he began to observe Master Seed Mirror and Master Losa. To Ning Cheng’s delight, it seemed that these two had never seen this nail before either. They frowned just as much and did not inscribe any information in the jade talisman in time.
It looked like the three were on the same starting line this time, and since that was the case, he still had a chance to win first place.
Ning Cheng looked towards Master Seed Mirror, who was paying the same attention to Ning Cheng as Master Luo Sa. Apparently the two could also see that Ning Cheng, like them, had never seen anything like this before, which made Master Losar’s heart slightly more settled. Master Seed Mirror, however, was even more scornful of Ning Cheng because Ning Cheng had never seen the Soul Crystal before, while Ning Cheng, who had never seen the Soul Crystal before, was able to enter the top six through his own judgement. Who knew if Ning Cheng could pass his judgement again this time and surpass him?
The six people here had their divine sense penetrate into this black nail at the same time.
In the centre of the Soul Crystal, Ning Cheng used the Divine Sense Explosion, and his Divine Sense was only able to barely penetrate in. And this black nail, not only Ning Cheng, but everyone’s divine sense could see through it clearly and unmistakably.
In everyone’s divine sense, this was the most ordinary nail. Apart from the fact that it was black in colour and a little bigger, there was no difference between it and an ordinary nail.
Just write that it was a fingernail? Ning Cheng shook his head, if this was just an ordinary nail, then it would definitely not have appeared after the fourth gate.
Tong Hua whispered to Ning Cheng, “Brother Ning, when I look at it, this is just an ordinary nail. I’ve heard that the clans with the bloodline of ancient giants are all several feet tall, so their nails should be this big too, right?”
Pan Qian? When Ning Cheng heard about the Ancient Giant Bloodline, he immediately thought of Pan Qian. He then remembered the Pan Clan, having heard that the Pan Clan was a race of ancient giant bloodlines. Moreover, the Pan Clan was a race with extraordinary origins, and the owner of the Creation Undying Axe was the Pan Clan.
Ning Cheng guessed that this nail should have nothing to do with the Pan Clan. The universe where the Pan Clan was located was the Five Elements Universe, while this was the Light and Darkness Universe. There was no telling how many such independent universes there were in the vast void of Chaos. Even after his cultivation so far, he was unable to peek into one or two of them. A technological planet such as Earth, with technology alone, would probably never be able to glimpse the true mysteries of the cosmic stars.
With a sigh, Ning Cheng knew that he should lose this time. Even Master Seed Mirror and Master Luo Sa could not answer, Master Seed Mirror had come first twice and should have ranked above him, he could only get a second at most.
Seed Mirror seemed to have thought of something and his divine sense began to carve in the jade talisman.
“Brother Ning, if it’s really not possible, let’s carve something random on it as well.” Seeing Ning Cheng’s expression, Tang Hua knew that Ning Cheng really had no choice this time.
“I’ll take another look.” Ning Cheng remained somewhat reluctant as he landed his divine sense on the black nails.
The time was not up yet and he did not want to give up yet.
It was like the technology on Earth in general, one might never be able to peek into the true mysteries of the vast universe, but the technology on Earth was developing every day. With every day that passes, they learn a little more about the universe.
Ning Cheng guessed that there was something in the Bright Vault that everyone wanted, and if he had thought about it for a little longer, perhaps he would have gotten even more answers.
Ning Cheng simply immersed his mind and Dao thoughts completely into the black nails, and after an unknown amount of time, Ning Cheng suddenly shook and suddenly opened his eyes. As his Dao Dao thoughts lingered above this ordinary black nail, he seemed to see another cosmic world ……
Could this ordinary black nail be a space? No. If it was a space, why was he never able to penetrate his divine sense?
Maybe the space was not on this nail, the space he saw just now was behind the nail ……
Multi-dimensional space? Ning Cheng’s heart shook, in terms of technology, this was multi-dimensional space. But to a monk, this was the realm of boundaries. There might be two different flows of time and space in the same location, that kind of realm or different from an ordinary realm. An ordinary interface can be torn apart by a practitioner who has reached a certain level of strength. Whereas this kind of different spatial realm in the same location, Ning Cheng estimated that even if he reached the Realm of Creation, he might not be able to tear it apart.
Perhaps, it would be easier to explain this situation with the use of multi-dimensional space in technology.
“Brother Ning, time is almost up, so hurry up and write something random in.” Seeing Ning Cheng frowning and pondering, Tong Hua hurriedly whispered in Ning Cheng’s ear.
Ning Cheng came to his senses, this was not the time to study this thing, he was still participating in the fourth material identification competition.
Although Ning Cheng was not sure if his judgement just now was the right one, he did not have time to continue observing it now, he still engraved his guess into the jade slip. The multidimensional space he had felt just now was probably not the nail itself, but because of this black nail, he had seen that multidimensional space.
This black nail was just a medium that allowed him to feel different space and time in the same location.
