“You might as well mind your own business, little thing.” The faint shadow on the big tripod said disdainfully.
Ning Cheng turned his gaze towards this Void Shadow, he suddenly had a strange feeling, from this Void Shadow, he saw a familiarity. Back when he had obtained Thunder Domain City, those great cultivators from the Great War had an aura similar to this void.
This was definitely an immensely terrifying great power that might be hiding here to recuperate, again just like that Fang Yijian.
“Nice name, old man. House of Cause and Effect, where there is a cause, there is an effect, today you trapped me here is the cause, in the future you will receive retribution is the effect.” Ning Cheng looked at the House of Cause and Effect and suddenly smiled and said.
“When did I trap you? You came in on your own.” The void suddenly retorted.
Ning Cheng laughed heatedly, “I was looking for some magic treasure remnants on that battlefield, what was the reason you got me here for no reason if not you?”
Ning Cheng felt that when he said cause and effect, this Void Shadow seemed particularly nervous, so he simply said another sentence.
“You’re talking nonsense, you don’t even care about top grade true weapons, so how could you care about some low grade fragments of magic treasures? Lying is punishable by karma.” The vain shadow did not hesitate to retort.
“What the hell do you know.” Ning Cheng cursed disdainfully at this need, while taking out his Broken Xuan Gun, “Look at the magic treasure I used, a medium grade spirit weapon. By the way, the spear is still cracked a little. I’m only at the first level of Xuan Dan cultivation, you’re bringing me some magic treasure that I can’t use, what is it if it’s not trash?”
What kind of logic was this? The Void was completely speechless, and it took a while before he retorted, “Even if you can’t use it, you can still use it in the future, right, besides how many spirit weapons can you exchange for one true weapon?”
Ning Cheng said in a tone of utter contempt, “Can you be sure that I will be able to use it in the future? What if my cultivation stays static? What if I can use it better than this in the future?”
The Void Shadow felt as if his body was laxing and hurriedly retracted back into the Great Cauldron once again, he did not want to argue with Ning Cheng and said directly, “You have friends here, right, so beg me for one thing and let me spare your friends.”
Ning Cheng held the talisman in his hand and was not afraid of this virtual shadow at all. He said disdainfully, “I’m asking you to save my friend? Don’t think too highly of yourself. I can blast these icicles of yours with a single shot, what can you do to me? If you could have done it, you would have done it long ago, old gas.”
Although he said this, Ning Cheng was still very scrupulous in his heart.
“What did you call me?” An angry voice came from the Void Shadow.
“You are a cloud of Qi, and you have probably lived empty for countless light years, what is it if not old gas?” Ning Cheng laughed heatedly. Despite being scornful of this Void Shadow, he still did not believe that this Void Shadow had the ability to make a move. If it needed to be capable of making a move, it shouldn’t be able to endure him sneering so much.
At this moment, Ning Cheng suddenly heard a “click”. Immediately afterwards, he saw a shadow spill out of an ice pillar, and this spill landed directly in the cauldron. After the shadow disappeared, the cultivator in the ice pillar turned into nothing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Old gas, so you are relying on devouring souls to strengthen yourself, how much more shameless do you want to be?” Ning Cheng cursed in anger. He had originally thought that Liang Kexin was only frozen in the ice pillar, but now it seemed that if he did not go to save her, Liang Kexin might also freeze and nirvana.
The shadow said disdainfully, “Don’t think that I don’t dare to touch you, everyone here is paying back my fruit with their souls because they owe me cause. This is karma. If you dare to offend me, I will kill you even if I have to suffer the karma of you, a mole cultivator.”
“Oh, then you’re finished for life. Since you are a cultivator and karma-oriented yourself, do you know where I come from? Can you afford to bear this great karma if you kill me? You have this kind of great karma in your body, the sooner you die the sooner it ends, so what the hell are you cultivating?” Ning Cheng was babbling nonsense while he had already understood.
The cultivator who entered this place and took something from this void was planting a cause, but the fruit to pay back was a little too big, using his own soul to pay back.
What Ning Cheng did not notice was that his casual babbling caused the shadow to tremble again, and the shadow that had just solidified a little bit faded away again.
“Whether I can cultivate it or not, you won’t be able to see it. Are you seeing that I have no way to leave the Great Cauldron, so you can’t do anything to you? I’ll tell you the truth, this big hall is filled with my power everywhere ……” the shadow coldly snorted.
“Your power? It’s by these karma ……” Ning Cheng said, his heart suddenly moved, he remembered when he had just entered, there seemed to be a power similar to wish power here, could this be karma power?
Wish power can become power, who can be sure that cause and effect cannot become power?
“I finally understand, old gas, I’m afraid that this is the power of karma that you are relying on, right? Would I be afraid of this karmic power of yours? To tell you the truth, I can extinguish …… with the lift of my hand,” Ning Cheng said as soon as he thought of it, regardless of whether he was right or not, he would first fool this old gas.
“Who the hell are you?” The shadow trembled once again, he hurriedly fell into the big cauldron, leaving only part of it outside, from his trembling tone it could be heard that he was extremely scornful of Ning Cheng.
No one in this crumbling Yixing Continent could know about the power of cause and effect, and this man actually knew about it, this was definitely not a cultivator from the Yixing Continent. Could it be that, like him, he was also a great power hiding from the great tribulation back then and shrinking in such an unknowable corner?
As soon as he thought that Ning Cheng might be such a great power, this shadow waved his hand, and the ice house that Ning Cheng could have seen instantly disappeared. And the frozen cultivators in the igloo were likewise all unable to see Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng felt the fear of this imaginary shadow, and he felt more and more that this old gas was a fellow from a very long time ago. It was just that he was worried about Liang Kexin and Mushroom Hanrui, he must hurry up and save them both. There was also that Xin Hai, he was also a nice person, he could be saved as well.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng suddenly shook the Broken Xuan Spear in his hand and said, “Who is Little Master? Let me show you this move, and you will know who Little Master is.”
The Broken Xuan Spear drew an unspeakable arc and suddenly stabbed out. A fierce gun intent that caused the entire hall to lose its colour instantly blasted out, a fierce slaughtering intent that seemed to be about to blast through the entire hall in this instant, not to mention the hall, even a planet would turn into nothingness in the face of such a fierce killing intent.
The shadow suddenly trembled, and in the twinkling of an eye, the slightly solidified shadow became a little fainter.
“You must be him, it must be him ……” The tone of the shadow’s speech was trembling as much as his body, and if he had teeth, Ning Cheng could definitely hear the sound of the shadow’s teeth fighting up and down right now.
“Less nonsense with the little master, the little master can’t remember because of many things, if I could remember, I would have long ago thinly skinned you and drawn your tendons.” Ning Cheng was also secretly shocked in his heart as to who the great power that had performed this shot was, he had only gotten a billionth of the resemblance of this and made this old fellow scared sh*tless.
Seeing that the shadow was still in shock, Ning Cheng suddenly coldly snorted, “Hurry up and reveal the ice house so that I can save the people. Otherwise, hehehe ……”
This time the vain shadow did not even talk nonsense and the ice house appeared again. Ning Cheng immediately saw the incredibly nervous Liang Kexin in the ice pillar, only that Liang Kexin was now frozen and trembling, as if her soul would detach at any moment.
Ning Cheng walked into the igloo and blasted his spear on top of the icicle that was freezing Liang Kexin. With a ‘click’ sound, the icicle that Liang Kexin was stored in instantly shattered into ice slag, and Liang Kexin fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of black blood with an open mouth.
Ning Cheng took out an elixir and handed it to Liang Kexin, saying, “Senior sister Kexin, heal your wounds first while I save senior sister Han Rui.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng blasted another shot at the ice pillar that had frozen Mushroom Hanrui. Mushroom Hanrui was much stronger than Liang Kexin, and when he came out, he was still able to clasp his fist to Ning Cheng to thank him, “Thank you for saving my life, Senior Brother Ning.”
Seeing the many eager gazes, Ning Cheng walked directly in front of Xin Hai’s icicle and also blasted out a shot ……
“Senior Brother Ning, I would like to save the rest of the senior brothers and sisters ……,” Musha Hanrui asked in a small voice when he saw the eager eyes of the rest of his fellow disciples in the icicle.
Seeing the many eager eyes, Ning Cheng suddenly said, “Old Gas, open all these ice pillars, inside are all my friends.”
After saying this, Ning Cheng remembered what he had encountered inside the Rule Road back then. At that time, he had also saved many people, but in the end, it was mostly the ones who returned the favour.
“Huh, wait ……” Ning Cheng suddenly saw Fu Shengnan and Wen Han, even if he was saving anyone, he couldn’t save these two guys, right?
“Click …… click ……” a burst of ice breaking sounds, Ning Cheng’s words were obviously a little too late, all these ice blocks were broken.
Numerous cultivators were given a new lease of life, and a few of them were so excited that they cried out.
“…… If there’s nothing else, then I’ll leave ……” The vague shadow cowered and revealed a fuzzy head in front of the big censer.
Ning Cheng was secretly annoyed that this vague shadow had broken the ice too quickly and saved even trash like Fu Shengnan and Wen Han, and immediately said with displeasure, “Go? Why should I go? I have come here after all the hard work and have not reaped half the benefits apart from saving people, so why should you just leave? A few hundred pieces of Extreme True Artifacts and Upper Grade True Artifacts at random, hmm, which pills from before are also considered good, some at random too ……”
The void’s voice almost cried out as it hurriedly said, “Those are all illusions from the power of cause and effect, although they are the same as the real ones, they are not real. Besides, you can’t see these things ……”
Ning Cheng grunted and carelessly went over and picked up his nine-coloured mirage stone before saying, “Can’t I give it away if I can’t see it? By getting me here, you have planted a cause, now there is no fruit to give me, so you can see for yourself.”
Speaking here, Ning Cheng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly transmitted his voice, “You leave now, when you get something good, bury it in …… well, just bury it deep underground here, I will come and get it in the future. As long as you get something good buried here, I’ll count you as having ended our karma.”
Ning Cheng thought that once this vaporous figure had given him something good and all the cultivators here knew about it, what would happen? Although he did not believe that this old gas did not have anything good, he did not dare to push this Void Shadow too much. In case he provoked the other party to be reckless, it would not be good.
