Meng Jingxiu didn’t talk nonsense, when Ning Cheng and her arrived at the entrance of that cave, there were already a couple of thousand people gathered here. This cave entrance could even be seen as a small square, so so many people didn’t seem crowded here.
“Senior sister Jingxiu, I remember that there were simply more than these people coming over, plus those who came from other places, how could there be only these?” Ning Cheng, however, did not feel that there were too many people here, on the contrary he felt that there were many less people.
Meng Jingxiu pointed at a huge stone gate in front of this temporary square and said, “Don’t look at this stone gate without any obstruction, you simply can’t get in without a certain level of strength, it’s the same as the mountain bag we went in before, it’s blocked by a layer of killing intent. Some people who know about formations say that this stone door is not simply a killing intent barrier, but a kind of killing intent prohibition. It can’t be blasted away just by the strength of the people. I’ve been here for not too long, and the people who have gone in are all cultivators with extremely high cultivation levels who understand the forbidden system and have comprehended some of the axe intent.”
Ning Cheng nodded, although this stone door was not blocked by a real boulder, it had a killing intent that was even stronger than the outer edge of the mountain bag before. Meng Jingxiu was right, these killing intents were not formed randomly, but were arranged according to certain regular formation laws.
If it hadn’t been so long ago that the killing intent had dissipated and the ban had broken, ordinary Yuan-building cultivators, even if they were in a group of four, wouldn’t have been able to get in.
“As for the rest, after testing that this is not a place they can enter, they have left, some heading elsewhere and some entering the depths of the Angry Axe Valley.” Meng Jingxiu added, pointing to the Angry Axe Valley that stretched into the distance.
“I’ll take a look.” Ning Cheng said as he had already walked up to this stone door, in front of which there were four Condensed Truth cultivators who were joining forces to break this killing intent prohibition.
Seeing this, Ning Cheng simply stood to the side and waited for these four people to fail. Then he would try again.
These four people were all at the late stage of True Condensation. After trying several times and failing. One of them finally lost his patience and directly sacrificed a magic treasure and blasted past.
“Boom” This man’s magic treasure made a muffled bang as it blasted through the empty gate, instead of smashing inside the gate, the magic treasure was bounced back by the gate’s prohibitions and smashed into the cultivator’s chest again with a strong speed, the cultivator was smashed away by his own magic treasure and spat out several mouthfuls of blood in the air. The cultivators watching the battle on either side stepped back to make way. A few dozen more quietly left the square.
Seeing this, the remaining three companions of this blasted away cultivator also temporarily moved out of the way of this stone door.
Ning Cheng did not bother about these four people who had left and directly stood at the entrance of the gate while offering up his golden giant axe.
Some people who knew Ning Cheng immediately moved aside. Many people who did not know Ning Cheng secretly shook their heads, just now someone had forcibly blasted the gate and had already been seriously injured by the killing intent backlash, and this guy still dared to sacrifice a magic treasure. This killing intent prohibition, making someone seriously injured was light.
Ning Cheng did not attack directly. His divine sense landed in this empty gate and immediately sensed the longitudinal axe intent. At the same time there was a kind of confinement. It bound these axe intents within the confines of the gate.
In just a short time, it had become clear to Ning Cheng that this was indeed a killing intent confinement. Moreover, this killing intent restriction was indeed so old that its power was no longer one. If a tenth of the power of this killing intent ban still existed, no one would be able to enter this place.
“Get out of the way, I want to go in.” A gruff voice interrupted Ning Cheng’s thoughts.
Ning Cheng turned around and saw three Yuan Building cultivators, the one who spoke was at the fifth level of Yuan Building, with a face full of flesh and a tough demeanour. Behind him, there were two other cultivators, a male and a female, the male cultivator was not bad looking, a small white face with a sixth layer of Yuan Building cultivation. The female cultivator, wearing a red dress, was surprisingly an extremely beautiful young girl, who was also already at the sixth level of cultivation.
“You can go in, but you have to wait for me to go in first, there is always a first come first served in everything.” Ning Cheng glanced at the three and said in a flat tone.
He had also come in line, having waited for the previous four people to fail before this was his turn to open the ban. Now he hadn’t even started yet, so why should he give up his position, to someone else?
Many people on the side knew where these three people came from, and some had already started to sneer, “This guy really doesn’t know what he’s doing, how dare he compete with the people from the White Moon Sword Sect and the Twin Extremes Academy for the first denial.”
“That young girl should be Helian Gu Lan of the White Moon Sword Sect, right? Beside her must be Wu Shu and Zuo HongXuan of the Twin Extremes Academy. If it’s really those three, then this person is indeed looking for death.” Someone next to him echoed.
Some people who knew Ning Cheng immediately gloated and said, “You will know who is looking for death later, that Shuangji Academy is just similar to the Red Sky Academy.”
“What’s going on? Could it be that this person is extremely powerful?”
……
“You’re looking for death? I’ll chop you up ……” When the cross-faced cultivator heard Ning Cheng’s words, he burst into a rage and raised his hand, a gong had already appeared in his hand.
The red-skirted girl frowned for a moment and said, “HongXuan, there is indeed a first come first served, it’s not too late for us to try again after he has tried. We’ve just arrived here too, and if this place was so easy to open, there wouldn’t be so many people leaving.”
The flesh-faced man called Hong Xuan heard the young girl’s words and the anger on his face instantly calmed down, “Senior sister Gu Lan is right, I’ll listen to you.”
After saying that, he called out angrily to Ning Cheng, “Move quickly, we won’t have time to wait for you for long.”
Ning Cheng didn’t bother to pay attention to him and said to Meng Jingxiu, “Senior sister Jingxiu, let’s go in.”
“Senior Brother Ning you can open this place?” Meng Jingxiu asked in surprise.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “Of course I can.”
After saying this, he raised his hand and grabbed out a formation flag, while the huge golden axe in his hand was already raised.
“Friend, please wait a moment ……” An eager voice rushed over and called out to Ning Cheng who was about to make his move.
“What do you want?” Ning Cheng asked as he looked at this cultivator who had come over, a cultivator who was already at the seventh level of Yuan Building.
When this cultivator came over, it was the arrogant, cross-fleshed man who unconsciously gave way to the side. He could see Ning Cheng’s cultivation level vaguely, but this cultivator was undoubtedly at the seventh level of Yuan Building. He was only at the fifth level of Yuan Building, which was two levels away from the seventh level of Yuan Building.
In the Yixing Continent, the strongest was the most important, and this was a principle that applied everywhere.
“I’ve met you twice, maybe you don’t remember me. The first time we were digging together, only I was too busy digging to greet you. The second time was when I was looking for spirit herbs in front of that mountain bag, so I was more familiar with you.” This seventh level Yuan Building cultivator was very polite and spoke politely to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng nodded, the first words this man said were completely polite. It wasn’t that he didn’t have time to greet when he was digging, but he didn’t care to talk nonsense to a person like himself. As for before the mountain bag, he had killed four disciples from Red Sky Academy in a row, including a cultivator of the seventh level of Yuan Building. And the way he lifted his killing intent before he broke open the mountain bag, this man must have seen it too.
This person might have come here to borrow the way over. The killing intent prohibition of this stone door had been broken, but those who did not know about axe intent and the prohibition would not be able to enter even if they were at the ninth level of Zhuyuan.
After this man finished speaking, he did not wait for Ning Cheng to speak, he directly threw out a storage bag and handed it to Ning Cheng and said, “Here are some of my ores, how about it friend?”
Ning Cheng took the storage bag and there were one thousand upper grade spirit stones inside.
One thousand top grade spirit stones was a considerable amount of wealth for a Yuan Building cultivator. However, after Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept through this storage bag, he still returned it to this cultivator. He understood the other party’s meaning, this was the Furious Axe Valley, and to use a thousand upper-grade spirit stones to enter an ancient cave was a little too cheap. Besides, this man had been digging in the Furious Axe Valley for so long, he had at least tens of thousands of upper grade spirit stones on him.
With such a large amount of spirit stones, it would be strange for Ning Cheng to be willing to accept a mere thousand that he had taken out. Moreover, a thousand upper grade spirit stones would not be of any use to Ning Cheng at all.
Seeing the man’s somewhat surprised look, Ning Cheng said in a light voice, “This is an ancient cave, outside the cave the extremely high quality spirit artifacts would be more than tens of thousands of upper grade spirit stones, it is too …… much for you to take out this little item and want to enter the cave.”
This Yuan Building cultivator suddenly understood that Ning Cheng was also digging there, a mere thousand upper grade spirit stones was indeed out of sight for others.
Thinking of this, he put away his storage bag and once again took out a storage bag and handed it to Ning Cheng and said, “What’s here, take a look?”
Ning Cheng took the pouch, and there were indeed a lot more things inside, 10,000 top grade spirit stones, and there were also many spirit herbs, the total value added up to nearly 30,000 top grade spirit stones.
“Double the stuff again, you can go in.” Ning Cheng once again returned the storage bag to this Yuan Building Cultivator.
Among the cultivators in the Angry Axe Valley, Ning Cheng reckoned that the things he had gotten were considered to be less. He had been in closed-door cultivation, and these people were wandering around, so who knew how many good things they had gotten? If he didn’t take the opportunity to compensate himself for some now, when else would he have to wait? Besides, for this amount of fee asked for, people might recover more than ten times the capital with interest after entering the cave.
With a clench of his teeth, this Zhuyuan cultivator took out some more spirit stones and spirit herbs and handed them over to Ning Cheng.
Only this time did Ning Cheng put them away, then he cupped his fist to the back and said, “I can open this stone door of the killing intent ban later, the stone door can be opened once for four people to enter, there is still one less now, those who want to enter can come and say something.”
What this cultivator of the seventh level of Yuan Building did did make Ning Cheng think of a way to earn spirit stones and spirit herbs quickly. He had borrowed ten to twenty thousand spirit stones from Yue Ying when he had advanced to Yuan Building because he had no spirit stones, and he hadn’t paid Yue Ying back yet. In the future, when he repaired the need for terrifying spirit stone resources, where would he go to get these things?
“Senior, I’ll go in for one too.” Another Zhuyuan cultivator came over, also carrying a bulging storage bag in his hand.
