Ning Cheng sacrificed a spirit craft airship, with his current cultivation level, ordinary flying demon beasts were no longer a threat to him. The rules of heaven and earth here were indeed more complete than outside, and Ning Cheng could feel it clearly. But at the same time, he felt that compared to others, he had not gained as much as he thought he would under such complete rules.
Moreover, he had another vague feeling that there was a direction in this rule path where the rules seemed to be more complete, and the further he went in this direction, the clearer this feeling became.
Ning Cheng did not hesitate as he directly controlled the airship to move in this direction. To him, if he could not cultivate inside the Rule Road and have a clearer sense of spells and cultivation, there was no longer any point for him to come here. However, he couldn’t go out just yet, Empty Pengpeng had helped him and he wanted to help Empty Pengpeng find the Spirit Cleansing True Dew.
Besides, even if he were to go out immediately, he didn’t know how to do so.
……
“Sister Lingwei, Senior Brother Bu Xingjin is too much, he just brought a few Xuan Dan cultivators over with a Xuan Liquid cultivator and didn’t care about us at all. How can he be like this when he’s also from the Dragon Phoenix Academy anyway?” At the edge of a bamboo forest where spiritual energy was scarce, only the young girl-like Chang Sun Yan sat on a bare rock and spoke in a somewhat indignant tone.
The woman who was called Sister Lingwei was none other than Jia Lingwei of the Dragon Phoenix Academy, and her tone seemed to always carry a hint of mature rationality. Only at this moment her hair was a little dishevelled and between her expressions, she no longer had the rational look that she had when everything was unfazed.
Hearing Changsun Yan’s complaint, she sighed and said, “It’s only temporary for everyone to form a small team, and when we really meet danger. Inside the Rule Road, we can still only rely on ourselves. Although Senior Brother Beixingjin wasn’t able to bring us to the second section of the Rule Road, he did save us. Otherwise, with the two of us, even if we took out everything we had, we wouldn’t have been able to get out in one piece. Those people are devils. Did you see what happened to the female cultivator who was with Qiu Yuanqing? Alas ……”
That female cultivator’s **looking appearance of being stripped naked** appeared in Changsun Yan’s mind. Subconsciously, she winced and said with a palpitating heart. “Sister Lingwei, aren’t these people also those who entered the Rule Road before? They used to be disciples of big sects too, so why did they become just like devils? Have they never seen a woman before?”
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Jia Lingwei’s mouth as she slowly said. “Since there are people stopping the second section of the path leading to the rules, it means that there are people stopping the third section as well. These XuanDan cultivators and XuanLi cultivators who stopped at the second section should all be a group of people whose cultivation levels are stuck in the main and unable to progress, otherwise they would have left here long ago.
Any cultivator staying inside the rule path could not enter or retreat. There are no resources to cultivate. Without a city to live in, unable to do anything else but slowly wait for death, the sows were also the meat and potatoes of their eyes. Not to mention these female cultivators who had just come in. So to say that Senior Brother Bu can keep us all in one piece. It’s already a great favour.”
“Although Senior Brother Bu is handsome, I don’t like him. Just look at him picking on the two of them, Nalan Ru Xue and Yan Ji, right on the boat, you can tell he’s very scheming.” Changsun Yan said with a pout and a mutter. If it wasn’t for the fact that Beixingjin was also from Longfeng Academy, she might have said something even more unpleasant.
Jia Lingwei smiled faintly, “Even though Yan Ji’s academy is an eight-star academy, it is no less powerful than a nine-star academy, and it might soon become the fourth largest nine-star sect in the Le Continent. Longfeng Academy is one of the three great sects in Le Continent, Senior Brother Bu is from Longfeng Academy, and Ru Xue’s Wu Nian Sect is also one of the three great sects, so it is normal for him to provoke Yan Ji and Ru Xue’s relationship. Competition between the big sects is also everywhere, you just don’t know it.”
“I don’t like that Nalan Ruxue very much, it’s also the first time I’ve met that senior brother called Ning Cheng, and I think he’s quite nice. The matter of Nalan Ru Xue killing someone by borrowing a knife is very unethical, I like Sister Yan Ji a little more.” Chang Sun Yan was young and spoke straightforwardly and without heart.
Jia Lingwei hurriedly coughed and pulled Changsun Yan a little, then stood up and called back, “Senior sister Ru Xue ……”
She then cupped her fist and said, “Lingwei has met Senior Brother Ride.”
Although Changsun Yan was young, it was a little embarrassing to be heard in person when talking about someone behind their back, so she hurriedly followed Jia Lingwei and clasped her fist and said the same, “Changsun Yan has met Senior Brother Ride.”
In Nalan Ruxue’s group, the one with the highest cultivation level was this Senior Brother Multiply, with a fifth level Xuan Dan cultivation.
“Senior Sister Lingwei, you wouldn’t be the only two left in your team, right? Senior Brother Beixingjin is already at the eighth level of XuanDan cultivation, how could this be ……” Seeing that there were only two people here, Jia Lingwei and Changsun Yan, Nalan Ru Xue said with some surprise, seemingly not taking what Changsun Yan had just said to heart.
They had also met many dangers along the way, but of the eleven people in the group, eight were still there now.
“Not so, because there are people stopping at the mouth of the canyon leading to the second section of the rule road, and these people are unusually vicious ……” Jia Lingwei shook her head grimly and told what they had experienced earlier, finally suggesting, ” Senior sister Ru Xue, I suggest that you and the other two senior sisters should not go there for the time being, and wait until you have advanced to the late Xuan Dan stage in the future before you can go there in a group.”
“How outrageous, how dare these beasts act so recklessly? I originally admired Brother Bu, but what Brother Bu has done this time is really disappointing.” Hearing Jia Lingwei’s words, the cultivator with the highest cultivation level in Nalan Ruxue’s squad, the fifth level Xuan Dan cultivator, said in a hateful voice, his anger bursting out.
Jia Lingwei hurriedly said, “The cultivators guarding the entrance to that canyon have many XuanDan cultivation levels, and their spells are extremely powerful. Once someone is undefeated, all eight XuanDan cultivators from the Qing Shi Sect will unite, that’s twenty to thirty XuanDan cultivators. Even if we were to add up the XuanDan cultivators who entered the Rule Road this time, there might not be that many. Senior Brother Bu has already helped a lot by keeping me and Yan Yan from retreating safely.”
“Senior sister Ru Xue, you and the other two senior sisters stay over here first, we’ll go and take a look before we say anything.” The XuanDan cultivator also calmed down, don’t Xingjin’s cultivation level was higher than his and he couldn’t help others. He was a fifth level XuanDan cultivator, fighting hard was definitely not an option.
Nalan Ruxue shook her head firmly and said, “I will not stay here, even if I die, I will still head for the second section of the Rule Path, staying here will only make my cultivation stagnate. Since I have chosen the path of cultivation, I will not give up because of any obstruction.”
Changsun Yan whispered to herself, “That’s because you didn’t see the scene at that time, if you did, you wouldn’t think that way.”
Nagasun Yan’s words were obviously heard by Nalan Ruxue, but her expression remained firm, as if she must go to the second section of the rule path.
Jia Lingwei was silent for a while and also said in a slow voice, “I’ll go too, if I can’t cross, then I’ll just turn into dust.”
“Sister Lingwei?” Chang Sun Yan looked at Jia Lingwei in disbelief, why would she go over there if she obviously couldn’t pass? Nalan Ruxue had never been there and did not know the situation, yet they had come from that place.
Jia Lingwei shook her head and did not answer Changsun Yan. This question had been on her mind for a long time, although she had exited safely from the entrance of the second section of the Rule Road, she had lost almost all the spirit stones and cultivation resources she had with her. This first section of the Rule Road, apart from the fact that the rules of heaven and earth were more complete than outside, there were very few places with dense spiritual energy, and even fewer with spiritual grasses.
Without spirit stones on one’s body, there was no other way to continue to stay here than to wait for death. Perhaps Nalan Ruxue was right, following the small group now, there was still a slight chance of entering, and when she was alone in the future, her chances were even slimmer.
When she said this, she had already made her decision, if she really couldn’t get through, then she would just fall on her own.
That XuanDan fifth layer cultivator didn’t care about Jia Lingwei’s decision, he just nodded and said, “In that case, let’s go over together, at the very least, I can do the same as Beixingjin and keep you all unharmed.”
“If Sister Lingwei goes, I wouldn’t dare stay here alone, so I’ll go along too.” Changsun Yan spoke timidly.
“Let’s go, we’d like to meet those guys to see what they’ve turned into.” This Xuan Dan fifth layer cultivator said with a bold voice and led the way first.
