Creation Gate Chapter 248

Ning Cheng had just seen the endless sea of the Starfish Sea when a feeling of emptiness came from behind him. This emptiness gave him an extra intuition that he simply could not say, that after getting stuck in, he would never be able to get up.

Ning Cheng hurriedly accelerated and rushed out, while collecting his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings. At this moment, all the people were concerned about escaping from Mirage Ship Island, and this area of the sea was in chaos. Ning Cheng flew towards the sea ship in silence, and as he felt the emptiness, his divine sense saw several cultivators who had already revealed their bodies from the edge of the sea island directly darken. These cultivators then disappeared without a trace with that hollow depression, just like the vanishing mirage ship island.

It was clear that these vanished cultivators would never be able to come out again, but had fallen in the mirage ship island. It is certain that if he did not have the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings, he would have been one of the countless fallen cultivators. Perhaps those vanished cultivators could come out a moment earlier and would not be swallowed up by the Mirage Ship Island, but how many people could really figure this out?

When Ning Cheng returned to the sea vessel, there were already many cultivators coming up to the sea vessel. There were still many cultivators flying towards the sea vessel, but the number was far less than it had been one incense stick ago.

Even the deck was empty, Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept it slightly, the deck that was originally over 20,000 people was now only 6,000 to 7,000, more people had not had the time to come out of the Mirage Ship Island.

Most of the cultivators who had returned to the ship were expressionless, and only a very small number of them wore happy faces. Ning Cheng was also expressionless as he stood at the corner of the deck, he knew that at least several hundred of the cultivators who had returned here had gotten mirage stones, maybe even more than that.

The cultivator in the middle Yuan-Soul stage had already stood on the deck, and when he saw that no one had returned, he once again flew up and said, “Friends, this time when we discovered the Mirage Ship Island, there were many people who got mirage stones, but there were even more friends who did not get mirage stones. There were also many friends who fell on Mirage Ship Island, most of them died in the mouth of the mirage beasts, and some of them didn’t make it out in time ……”

“Yes, I also met a mirage beast and almost didn’t make it back ……” someone chimed in in a whisper below.

Ning Cheng’s heart twitched as he listened, he had dug up a mirage tree and had also collected thirty nine mirage stones, why hadn’t he seen a mirage beast? Not to mention being eaten by a mirage beast, was he luckier than others?

“Everyone, since the Mirage Ship Island has been found, our trip on the Mirage Explorer has been very successful and we are now ready to return to the Mirage Island. Many of our friends may have been so eager to return to Mirage Island that they wanted to take the teleportation formation back to the Heavenly Continent as soon as they got back to Mirage Island. But the teleportation formation to the Heavenly Continent is a long way away, and it is not something that can be done with a little spirit stone ……”

This Yuan-Soul cultivator said here, deliberately stopped and looked around before continuing, “Now I want to tell you that our sea ship also buys mirage stones, those who have mirage stones can go directly to the mirage explorer building on the sea ship and sell the mirage stones in your hands. Even if it’s a mirage stone from a three-coloured mirage tree, we will still offer a sky-high price. Of course, if you do not want to sell your mirage stones, that is your freedom and we will not interfere. At the same time there is any snatching of mirage stones on the sea vessel, I, the Mirage Seeker, will kill without amnesty.”

When Ning Cheng heard this, he finally put down his heart a little. He did not dare to say that he was the cultivator who had obtained the most mirage stones, but he was sure that there should be very few people who had obtained more mirage stones than him. If this sea ship really grabbed the mirage stones, he would have no choice but to flee. Since the sea boat could come here, he believed that he could also find Mirage Island.

Ning Cheng returned to his room in a very low profile, and once again arranged his room with two low level shielding formations before he began to adjust his breath.

He had already seen the Mirage Stone and knew that it was a good thing. But now he was on someone else’s ship, and even if he was tempted to take out the mirage stone and look at it, he had to hold back. Who knew if there were surveillance formations here that he couldn’t even detect? He could look at it for as long as he wanted when he returned to Mirage Island or when he reached the Heavenly Continent.

This time on Mirage Ship Island, Ning Cheng had deeply experienced the benefits of a strong and condensed divine sense. If he had not tempered his divine sense in the Chaotic Gang Space, would he have been able to obtain so many mirage stones? Even if he had the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings, it would have been good to get ten of them at most.

Ning Cheng was in his room, not cultivating, but instead specialising in quenching his divine sense. Even if quenching his divine sense in this environment was nowhere near as good as the Chaotic Deity Space, it was better to be able to quench his divine sense than not.

Ning Cheng’s divine sense did not leave his room, but repeatedly exerted it within the small space.

Suddenly his divine sense sensed a slight fluctuation and Ning Cheng was startled in his heart, this room was his and he had rearranged a few more formations. Even if the arrangement was only a three pole simple formation, it was still shielded from the possibility of others prying. Now that there was actually a fluctuation in his room, it was obviously an extremely concealing formation.

Ning Cheng stopped quenching his divine sense, and his divine sense carefully looked around the place of the fluctuation, and he really found a little trace of it. It was actually a surveillance formation, and one that even he had almost failed to discover.

Who else could have set up such a formation but the Mirage’s own people? He had thought the ship was decent before, but he hadn’t expected that there was still something secretly watching. If it wasn’t for the fact that his formation level was already level six and his divine sense was strong enough to rival that of a Yuan-Soul cultivator, he really wouldn’t have been able to discover it.

Fortunately, he was cautious and low-key, and the formations he had set up down here were all low-level formations, and he didn’t take out anything with secrets. In any place, being cautious is really not a bad thing.

Knowing that he was being monitored by the formation, Ning Cheng was no longer in the mood to stay in the room. However, at this time, he had just returned from Mirage Ship Island, so it would be better to keep a low profile.

Ning Cheng did not touch that monitoring formation, and three days later, Ning Cheng walked out of his room, he intended to go to the ship’s market to have a look.

……

“Know what? Tan Xu was killed yesterday ……”

“Ugh, it’s horrible, thankfully we didn’t get the mirage stone, it’s only been three days and already a few people have died. I guess the few who died were the guys who got the mirage stone.”

“I didn’t find the mirage stone this time, and I won’t come out to look for it in the future, it’s still hard to predict whether it’s a blessing or a curse to get such things ……”

“Now I am looking forward to returning to Mirage Island sooner rather than later, although I did not get the mirage stone, but this boat is a bit too dangerous.”

“It will take at least three more months to get back to Mirage Island ……”

Ning Cheng had just entered the market when his divine sense pounced on all sorts of chatter. Only then did he understand that several people had already been killed during these three days. These cultivators had not fallen on Mirage Ship Island, but simply because they had obtained mirage stones, they had fallen on the sea ship.

What exactly was the function of this mirage stone? Why did it drive so many cultivators crazy? Earlier, that middle Yuan-Soul cultivator said that once he found someone snatching the mirage stone on the ship, he would immediately kill them without amnesty. Now that a few cultivators had died, he was not seen coming out to kill without amnesty? Thinking about the monitoring formation in his room, Ning Cheng secretly sighed, these people’s words really could not be trusted.

The good thing was that he finally knew that in three months’ time, he would be able to return to Mirage Island. Then on Mirage Island, he would take the transmission array to the Heavenly Continent.

The market was much cooler than it was a few days ago, and Ning Cheng walked into a jade merit merchant building. A huge jade slip erected on the front of the merchant building caught Ning Cheng’s attention, on the jade slip were the words ‘Mirage Stone Ten Uses’.

How could this mirage stone have so many uses? Ning Cheng’s first reaction was to rush to purchase one of these mirage stone jade slips.

“Does this friend want to buy a mirage stone introduction jade slip? This jade slip is the best one I sell here. The introduction to mirage stones is very detailed and clear ……” A fellow had already taken the initiative to greet Ning Cheng and introduce it before he could even open his mouth.

Ning Cheng’s heart moved and he immediately waved his hand, “Alas, if it was a few days ago, I might still want to buy one, but forget it now. Is there a jade slip of a spiritual herb that appears at the edge of Mirage Island, I have nothing to do lately and I’m studying it.”

“Yes, there is ……” The fellow quickly took out a jade slip and handed it to Ning Cheng, “This jade slip describes all the spirit herbs that appear at the edge of Mirage Island, and there are values. Even some valuable demonic beast materials are described. One hundred top-grade spirit stones ……”

After Ning Cheng paid the spirit stone and left, a middle-aged man turned out, took a look at Ning Cheng’s back and shook his head, “Another fellow who got nothing, looking at this fellow, he should be planning to stay on Mirage Island permanently.”

Walking a long way away, Ning Cheng was still secretly thankful. It was thanks to his early reaction, otherwise, he would have purchased the ‘Mirage Stone Ten Uses’ jade slip just now.

Usually those who bought this jade slip were those who had not found the Mirage Ship Island before, now that the Mirage Ship Island had been found and they had all started to return, if he went back to buy this kind of jade slip, wouldn’t that be telling others that he had obtained a mirage stone? At least it would tell others that he might have a mirage stone.

A staggering footstep rushed towards Ning Cheng, who hurriedly dodged to the side, and then he saw a youngster with blood all over his back fall down beside him.

Ning Cheng’s divine sense landed on this teenager’s body and sensed that the teenager’s meridians were all damaged, although it was not very serious, he had to take the pills in time, otherwise he would definitely be left with heavy after-effects. If a cultivator’s meridians were left with after-effects, would he be able to cultivate to a higher level?

As long as the meridians were not completely destroyed and were only slightly damaged, Ning Cheng had plenty of such pills. What’s more, this youngster was only at the eighth level of Xuan Liquid cultivation, so it would be simple to treat.

Ning Cheng lifted his hand and threw a special True Heart Pill into the youngster’s mouth, if he could help someone out, Ning Cheng did not mind doing so. Besides, a three pole True Heart Pill was not a good thing for him.

He was a little confused as to how the boy had been injured, at least he knew that he could not fight on the boat.

Ning Cheng’s pills were all Extraordinary Pills, and they were refined without the use of a Dan Skill, and their effects were many times better than ordinary pills.

When the pills entered the teenager’s mouth, they immediately turned into gurgling medicinal liquid, rapidly nourishing the teenager’s injuries. In just a dozen breaths of time, the youngster’s injuries had already improved, and the youngster struggled to get up from the ground.
