Ning Cheng ignored Grey Dudu as he took out the formation flags and began to set up the formation. Someone had used this place a long time ago, which meant that he wasn’t the only one who could find it.
There was not just one formation to be set up, first there were various concealment formations, shielding formations …… then spirit gathering formations, defensive formations, trapping formations, killing formations ……
As long as there were formations that Ning Cheng could think of, he had almost laid one here.
……
Only after he had almost finished setting up all the formations that he could set up did Ning Cheng put his mind down and prepare for his retreat. He had millions of spirit stones inside his ring, and he also planned to finish cultivating them before going somewhere else.
Ning Cheng’s speed of absorbing spirit stones was already incredibly strong, and setting up a spirit gathering formation here to cultivate with impunity was even crazier than when he was cultivating in the Angry Axe Valley. At least when he cultivated here, he did not have to worry at all about the situation of not having enough spirit stones.
Countless spirit stones were all turned into spirit energy gathered under the operation of the Phaseless Technique, and were directly absorbed by Ning Cheng. If it was said that when he was cultivating inside the Angry Axe Valley, the spirit stones in that room had turned into spirit mist, then now the spirit qi that Ning Cheng’s cultivation had inspired had turned into spirit rain. These rain of spiritual energy trickled away and was absorbed by Ning Cheng, while Ning Cheng was so immersed in the transformation of true essence and the enhancement of his cultivation that he completely forgot that he still had some third grade true pills around him that he was ready to take.
While time passed quietly like this, Grey Dudu saw the Tier 3 True Pills beside Ning Cheng, it carefully closed its jade box and gently approached Ning Cheng. It was prepared to go and take away all the Tier 3 True Pills beside Ning Cheng without alerting him. However, once it got close to this rain of aura mist, it immediately realized that this aura mist did not seem to be worse than the pills. It immediately followed Ning Cheng’s example and began to absorb the aura water mist on the side.
Ning Cheng’s cultivation was different from others in that he had a stage, sometimes suddenly advancing many levels and sometimes staying at a stage for a long time.
And at this moment, he had stayed at the stage of the fourth level of Yuan Building for quite some time, it wasn’t that he didn’t cultivate, but he didn’t have the opportunity to do so. At this time, he absorbed all the spiritual qi to cultivate and quickly rushed past the fourth level of Yuan building. He advanced to the fifth level of Yuan Building. Then he rushed through the fifth level of Yuan building again and reached the sixth level of Yuan building without any hindrance.
Countless spirit stones were turned into pieces, and Ning didn’t feel half as distressed. The true essence flowing within his body was already gurgling, even carrying a simple-minded sound. It was evident how powerful the true essence was. But Ning Cheng still kept on absorbing the spiritual water mist, not having the slightest intention of stopping.
Any cultivator would not be able to absorb spiritual qi and cultivate as terribly as Ning Cheng did, but Ning Cheng was different. Before his meridians were reshaped by the Xuanhuang Origin, he couldn’t cultivate like this endlessly and without knowing the bottom line. Right now, even more spiritual qi would be absorbed by him and would turn into inexhaustible rolls of true essence.
“Clicking ……” fine sounds continued to emanate from Ning Cheng’s body, each time a clicking sound was made, it meant that Ning Cheng had expanded another aperture. A barrier was broken through.
Seventh level of Yuan building …… Eighth level of Yuan building ……
It was only when he reached the eighth level of Yuan Building that Ning Cheng reacted to the fact that his pills had not yet moved, and he hurriedly took out a handful of pills from the jade box by his side and threw them into his mouth. He had advanced so fast without using pills, using pills would definitely be even faster. This was Ning Cheng’s thought.
The pills that Ning Cheng had refined were all true pills that were not bound by the Dan Skill, and the powerful spirituality of the true pills rushed into Ning Cheng’s meridians and gathered in his dantian, almost bursting his dantian open. Feeling the endless pills’ spirituality and spiritual mist mixing together and almost bursting his dantian, Ning Cheng finally became a little nervous.
If he burst himself during his cultivation blast. That would be the biggest joke in the world. Ning Cheng hurriedly ran his gongfu even more frantically, but no matter how he ran his gongfu, the violent spirit pills and spirit energy that gathered in his dantian and meridians became thicker and thicker, unable to turn into true essence cultivation in a short period of time.
“Ka-ching …….” With another thin sound, Ning Cheng’s cultivation level directly rose to the ninth level of Yuan Building. The massive amount of transformed true essence seemed to find a vent all of a sudden and dissipated.
Ning Cheng hadn’t even had time to breathe a sigh of relief. That raging medicinal nature gathered again. Only then did Ning Cheng panic, he felt that he had gone too crazy. Other people ate pills one by one, while he had actually swallowed them in handfuls. Even the meridians that had been reshaped by the Xuanhuang Origin could not withstand such a terrifying medicinal nature.
After his meridians had been reshaped by the Xuanhuang Origin, his cultivation had always felt like there wasn’t enough spiritual energy. Not enough, and this time he finally felt that there was too much, and that if he went on he would have to burst his body. It looked like he was too confident in his meridians and the extent of his absorption of spiritual qi, and had finally gotten it to the point of no return.
Cultivation was really not something to be rushed, it was a gradual process.
Ning Cheng forced himself to calm down and while frantically running his gong methods, he slowly guided the powerful medicinal properties and spiritual qi that had already gathered in his dantian.
After Ning Cheng had calmed down, his cultivation technique suddenly changed automatically, and the medicinal properties and spiritual qi that had just filled his dantian meridians were transformed into true essence at the fastest speed in this changed technique, turning into Ning Cheng’s own cultivation.
Ning Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly collected his deterrent mind and concentrated on guiding the impact of true essence in his meridians while slowly stabilising his cultivation.
Xuanhuang Wufang was just awesome, during the cultivation process, one could change the direction of the cultivation techniques and the direction and position of the nodes running through the circumference of the heavens at any time. This kind of heaven defying, I guess no gong method could do it, right?
It was not known how long had passed when Ning Cheng felt a clear sound emit from his body and he opened his eyes, stopping his cultivation.
At this moment, his body was incomparably relaxed, and that kind of powerful strength could not be described in words, but it was a real power. The divine sense casually swept out and increased several times more than before, while the true essence increased even more tenfold.
He had completed the ninth level of Yuan Building, and was only one step away from crossing into the Xuan Liquid Realm. Ning Cheng believed that once he reached the Xuan Liquid Realm, he could take out Hang Jiaojiao in a second.
Ning Cheng was extremely happy in his heart, this kind of cultivation was what was painful, this was what was called cultivation.
Once he reached the Xuan Liquid Realm, coupled with his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings, even if a Xuan Dan cultivator wanted to kill him casually, it probably wouldn’t be that easy. Perhaps Ning Cheng himself did not even know how powerful he would be after he entered the Xuan Liquid Realm and formed the Dan Lake.
He had to cross into the Xuan Liquid Realm, Ning Cheng had secretly made up his mind. He had only used half of his millions of spirit stones, and he still had half here. What’s more, he was only one Xuan Ming Dan short of entering the Xuan Liquid Realm.
The Xuan Ming Pill was a Grade 4 True Pill, and the main spirit herbs were Silver Frost Silk, Wu Hua Fruit and Extreme Yuan Grass. If it was someone else, this Grade Four True Pill might be difficult to get, but Ning Cheng had these spiritual herbs, and all he lacked now was to refine this pill.
Ning Cheng believed that with his current cultivation level being so elevated, it was not too difficult to refine a Grade Four True Pill. He had too many spirit herbs to practice on. He also had more than enough time now. As long as he persevered, he would definitely advance to the rank four True Pill Master.
After experiencing the danger of swallowing a handful of pills, Ning Cheng also perceived that the pills he was refining seemed to be different from others’ pills. His pills were more medicinal and less binding. It was probably caused by the fact that no Dan Skill was used. The medicinal properties of pills without the Dan Skill were definitely more violent and closer to the original characteristics of the spirit herbs.
Ning Cheng estimated the time, he had gone from the fifth level of Yuan Building to the ninth level of Yuan Building and used a lot of spirit stones, but the time had only taken less than a year in total.
Seeing Grey Dodo absorbing the spirit energy with great joy, Ning Cheng did not bother about it and continued to study the refinement of the fourth level pills. Preparing to advance to the Xuan Liquid realm.
……
In a year’s time, too many changes had taken place on the Rule Road. Almost all of them had progressed here, and individual cultivators who had been unable to advance outside had progressed even more than Ning Cheng in this complete Rule World.
Ning Cheng certainly did not know that the place he was in was only the first section of the Rule Road. It could even only be described as just the entrance to the Rule Path.
In the depths of the first section of the Rule Road, there was a narrow valley entrance. Or almost everyone who had entered the Rule Road, except Ning Cheng, knew very well that it was only through this narrow valley entrance that the second section of the Rule Road was located.
At this moment, in the front section at the mouth of this narrow valley. There were seven or eight stone gates piled up with lapis lazuli, and in order to cross this narrow valley mouth, one had to enter the lapis lazuli gates. And in front of each of the lime stone gates here, there were two or three XuanDan cultivators with a group of XuanLi cultivators blocking them.
All cultivators who wanted to enter the Lapis Gate and head to the second section of the Rule Road had to hand over a certain amount of spirit stones or something else. Otherwise, not only would they not be allowed to pass, but there was even the risk of losing their lives.
A male Xuan Dan first layer cultivator walked over with a female cultivator of the sixth layer of Xuan Liquid. The Xuan Dan male cultivator walked up to one of the green stone doors and cupped his fist, “I am Qiu Yuanqing from Xuan Yue Seven Star Academy, as I didn’t bring many spirit stones with me when I came in. There are still ten thousand upper grade spirit stones here, please be accommodating to my friend and let me borrow them ……”
“10,000 spirit stones. You’re sending out callers? I see this female cultivator beside you is good, leave your storage ring and this female cultivator to let you pass for a while.” The one who spoke was merely a Xuan Liquid sixth layer cultivator by the Greenstone Gate, and he didn’t even look at Qiu Yuanqing, who was at the Xuan Dan first layer, in the eye.
Qiu Yuanqing’s face turned pale. In a low tone, he said, “I am also from the Xuan Yue Seven Star Academy, so for your Excellency to speak like this is too rude, isn’t it?”
“Insolent? Seven-star academy is nothing, even if it’s a nine-star academy we’ll collect things just the same, move quickly or don’t blame us for being impolite.” This Xuan Liquid sixth layer cultivator’s tone became more and more arrogant when he heard Qiu Yuanqing’s words.
Qiu Yuanqing’s face looked ugly as he took a few steps back and said, “In that case, we won’t go over first ……”
“It is up to you whether you pass or not ……” This time, it was not the cultivator of the sixth level of Xuan Liquid who spoke, but another cultivator of the fourth level of Xuan Dan.
After this man finished speaking, he had already pounced on it, and behind him five Xuan Liquid cultivators had likewise followed, while by this green stone door they were at, there was another Xuan Dan fourth layer cultivator with several Xuan Liquid cultivators guarding it.
Seeing this scene, a young girl who had not yet entered the lapis gate said in alarm, “Sister Lingwei, why are these people not reasonable at all ……”
Hearing this, the female cultivator named Lingwei hurriedly pulled the young girl aside and said in a low voice, “Yan Yan, don’t talk nonsense ……”
Before Lingwei could finish her words, she saw a spurt of blood and the XuanDan layer one male cultivator named Qiu Yuanqing had been split in half by the XuanDan layer four cultivator, while the XuanLi six layer female cultivator was directly restrained by several other people and slowly pulled to the side of the green stone door.
