Nie Xingxian’s attack appeared to be an attempt to crush Ning Cheng with his powerful true essence, and Ning Cheng simply did not dodge, let alone offer a defensive magic treasure. The Broken Xuan Spear similarly rolled up True Essence Qi and blasted up.
Some cultivators with high cultivation levels could see that Ning Cheng was trying to fight hard against Nie Xingxian.
“Boom boom boom ……” The Zen Staff and the Broken Xuan Spear blasted together, curling up a terrifying vortex of true essence, a vortex of true essence that scraped up in the ring, even cultivators with poor cultivation under the ring could see it clearly.
Some cultivators who were not of very high cultivation level looked at the true essence of Nie Xingxian and Ning Cheng seemed to be comparable, only Nie Xingxian who was in the middle of the situation knew that Ning Cheng’s true essence was much stronger than his. Ning Cheng’s Broken Xuan Spear was only a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and he also felt that Ning Cheng had used a layer of true essence to wrap around the Broken Xuan Spear, as if he was afraid that the spear would be damaged. Even so, he did not have a half advantage.
The Zen staff in Nie Xingxian’s hand suddenly swung, instantly pulling out from the terrifying vortex of true essence, while shaking out the shadows of more than ten stalks of the Zen staff, which actually formed the beginnings of a trapped formation.
Ning Cheng simply stopped and continued to make his move, with his ability, he could make Nie Xingxian’s staff shadow formation unable to form up in an instant. But he was eager to see what this monk’s staff shadow formation that he had formed was famous for.
The spell techniques of some of the great sects were very powerful, and it was always good to know more about them. Today, it was Nie Xingxian who had cast the Staff Shadow Formation on him, but if it was a Yuan-Soul cultivator or even a God-shaping cultivator in the future, it would not be so easy for him to deal with it.
“Brother Ning, why don’t you make a move?” Seeing Ning Cheng holding the Broken Xuan Spear and quietly waiting for his staff shadow formation to take shape, Nie Xingxian’s staff shadow instead gradually dissipated, he also stopped and asked in confusion.
Ning Cheng really didn’t know if this Nie Xingxian was really loyal or really cunning anymore, he said speechlessly, “I’m waiting for you to make your move, you don’t have to worry about me, just make your move.”
“Good.” Nie Xingxian replied with one word and suddenly added, “Brother Ning, how many percent of strength did you use in that spar just now.”
“Twenty percent.” Ning Cheng said with a smile, he was sure that this monk would never believe his words.
“Twenty percent of true essence power, to make me unable to advance an inch, so powerful ……” Nie Xingxian muttered, surprisingly he really believed Ning Cheng’s words.
After Nie Xingxian finished muttering to himself, he put away his Zen staff and said, “Then I am no match for Brother Ning, thank you for being merciful.”
“And you believe that?” Ning Cheng looked at Nie Xingxian who had turned around and asked with some doubts, in his opinion Nie Xingxian had a simple and treacherous face, how could he believe his words?
Nie Xingxian quickened his pace and walked down the ring, while saying, “Brother Ning’s words, I naturally believe them.”
As Nie Xingxian walked out of the ring, many of the cultivators watching the battle did not react. They were expecting a dragon and tiger duel, but Nie Xingxian, who had come first in the preliminary round, had only faced Ning Cheng with one move before voluntarily admitting defeat and stepping down. Or rather, he was scared away by Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng gripped his Broken Xuan Spear somewhat depressingly and stood in the middle of the ring, knowing that no one else should be coming up anytime soon. However, he would definitely not go down, since he wanted something good, he had to persist.
After Nie Xingxian went down, there was really no one else coming up. Although there were still many preliminary round cultivators who hadn’t competed in a single match, there just wasn’t a single one up there.
When there was one person whose cultivation was so strong that it far surpassed that of his peers, and that person defied the tacit agreement between the clans, the loopholes in the rules of the final were now evident.
Despite the uproar and clamour from the spectators under the ring, there was not a single person willing to go up to the ring to compete with Ning Cheng.
No one saw the wonderful and incomparable final bloodbath, and not a single cultivator would be comfortable.
“Patriarch, why don’t we have Liang Shi go up to the stage and call Ning Cheng down?” An Elder of the Falling Rainbow Sword Sect who had transformed into a tripod could not stand to watch anymore.
Rui Baishan shook his head, “Let him be, Ning Cheng already knows the rules and still stays up there without coming down, he must have his own ideas. Elder Bei, you come with me for a moment.”
Elder Pei Fa was also worried about Ning Cheng, and now that the Patriarch had called him, he immediately followed Rui Bai Shan to a secret room.
“Elder Pei, you have the most contact with Ning Cheng, how much do you know about Ning Cheng? Tell us all about it.” Rui Bai Shan opened the door.
After a brief pause, Elder Bei shook his head instead and said, “I don’t know much about Ning Cheng, I know some from Ning Cheng’s friend and true disciple of the Fallen Rainbow Sword Sect, Liang Kexin. Later on, I also went to investigate some of the situation and came to the conclusion that Ning Cheng had been to Mirage Island, and if I was not wrong, Ning Cheng should have been on Mirage Ship Island. That one nine-coloured mirage stone of his should have been obtained on Mirage Ship Island.”
“On Mirage Ship Island, it definitely requires great fortune to be able to find a Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree. Since Ning Cheng was able to obtain one Nine-Coloured Mirage Stone, it means that he still might have the remaining eight Nine-Coloured Mirage Stones.” Rui Baishan nodded his head.
“Sovereign ……,” Elder Bei looked at the Sovereign in surprise.
Rui Bai Shan waved his hand, “Elder Bei, you don’t need to worry, even if each of the nine coloured mirage stones were priceless, I wouldn’t covet a disciple’s stuff. Ning Cheng has obtained so many at once, so he will surely have his own ideas. If I’m not wrong, Ning Cheng will go far away after this competition. It is because he has made up his mind about this that this is why he must stand on top of the tournament stage and force the prize out.”
“Patriarch, why don’t I go and persuade Ning Cheng to come down and then return to the sect to go into seclusion?” Elder Bei said after a moment of hesitation.
Rui Bai Shan shook his head slightly, “If Ning Cheng had only obtained a Nine Coloured Mirage Stone, this method of yours would be considered good. However, if Ning Cheng had obtained nine mirage stones, even if Ning Cheng was in seclusion, there would be countless people looking for the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect. Although my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect does not fear any threats from anyone, it is unable to fight against so many sects. Ning Cheng was right to choose to leave the sect.”
“I’m just afraid that Ning Cheng will bring endless scourges to the sect ……,” Elder Bei said worriedly.
Rui Bai Shan stood up and said with a bland smile, “My Rainbow Fall Sword Sect has been established for countless years and has come through all kinds of storms, so would it be afraid of some petty villains?”
After saying that, Rui Baishan took out a jade box and handed it to Elder Bei, “Here is a Transporting Talisman, after Ning Cheng gets out of the ring, you can give it to him for me. This is all I can do to help him.”
“Should I tell Ning Cheng so that he can go as soon as possible?” Elder Bei asked as he put away the jade box.
Rui Bai Shan smiled faintly, “He will know when to leave.”
……
Ning Cheng had been in the ring for a whole hour and still not a single person had come up to challenge him, at this point Ning Cheng had even taken out a chair and sat in the middle of the ring. The Xuan Dan Realm finals were no longer exciting at this point in time, but a farce.
Wherever it was, there was a lot of chatter and discussion at this point.
Just at this time, a black-bearded old man flew and landed on top of the ring.
Seeing this, Ning Cheng hurriedly put away his chair, he had seen far too many experts in the past few days. The powerful aura from this old man immediately let Ning Cheng know that this was a strong person no less than Xiao Pengsheng, this kind of strong person could turn him into flying ashes in every minute and second.
“Ning Cheng has met senior.” Ning Cheng hurriedly bowed to this old man and saluted.
The black-bearded old man looked at Ning Cheng with a meaningful smile and then nodded before he said to the crowd that had quieted down on the stage, “I am Dao Master Mu Zi Ming of the Heavenly Alliance and one of the judges of this Heavenly Continent Sect Competition. From this Xuan Dan Realm competition, we can see that there are some loopholes in the rules of the Heavenly Continent Clan Grand Competition. After this Grand Competition, we will be reformulating the rules of the Grand Competition ……”
There was a stir on the stage, even if there was no exciting competition, this matter was exciting enough. Surprisingly, because of the toughness of a XuanDan cultivator, the Heavenly Continent Clan Grand Competition was going to change the rules.
Mu Zi Ming used his hand to suppress the noise and continued, “I now announce that in this Heaven Continent Clan Competition, Ning Cheng is the first place winner in the XuanDan realm, do any of the participating cultivators have any objections? If you have any objections then go up to the stage and compete, if there are no objections then this is how it will be decided.”
Ning Cheng was the first place winner and no one had any objections. Ning Cheng had defeated several powerful experts, all of whom looked very relaxed and did not look like they were fighting for their lives at all, who would be willing to touch such a person?
All of them knew that this Heavenly Continent Clan Competition was about to result in a record that no one was afraid of breaking. If there was a possibility that it would still be broken because a cultivator had changed the rules of the competition. Then, just a little over halfway through the competition, the first place was decided. This is absolutely unprecedented, and I am afraid that no one will break it later.
The square, which had just quietened down, once again became noisy because of this matter.
“Although we have settled on the first place, the following competition will still be held, and the rest of the places will be contested.” Mu Zi Ming’s voice suppressed the noise of the entire square, after he finished he turned back and looked at Ning Cheng with a smile, “What do you think?”
Ning Cheng hurriedly bowed once again and said, “Daoist Master’s decision Ning Cheng naturally has no objection, it’s just that I originally wanted a bottle of raw elemental shoot marrow ……”
“No matter, just tell us everything you need.” Mu Zi Ming replied very dryly.
Ning Cheng was no longer polite, “Senior, junior only wants a Premium Soul Condensation Pill, plus a bottle of Raw Essence Bamboo Shoots Marrow, nothing else.”
Even though Ning Cheng knew that facing a Dao Master, what he said now was dangerous, but for the sake of his future escape, he had to do so.
“Just these two items?” Mu Zi Ming asked with some doubt. He thought that Ning Cheng was absolutely lionizing when he stayed on this, although now Ning Cheng was also lionizing when he asked for the raw elemental shoot marrow, it was much better than what he had expected, which made him feel a little more good in his heart.
“Just these two items.” Ning Cheng said with certainty.
Mu Zi Ming nodded, “I will give you these two.”
After saying that, Mu Zi Ming took out two jade bottles and threw them to Ning Cheng, who took them without hesitation and put them away, “Thank you, senior, in the future, if junior has the ability, he will definitely repay today’s kindness.”
Ning Cheng was not a fool, he could hear the meaning of Mu Zi Ming’s words, these two items were not provided by the Le Continent Competition, but by Mu Zi Ming himself. Besides, even if they were provided by the competition party, they would not be handing out prizes now.
“You go down, take care of yourself.”
“Yes.”
Ning Cheng hugged his fist before hurriedly exiting the tournament stage.
The fact that Ning Cheng had allowed the rules of the tournament, which had continued for many years, to be changed and had a Dao Master personally invited down on the stage was already enough to stir up the entire Heaven Continent.
Because of Ning Cheng’s going down, the Xuan Dan realm tournament stage was once again battling, and the Ten Great Sects of the Heaven Continent meant a large amount of resources, and no one would be willing to lag behind. And as the competition continued, it became more and more exciting.
……
The first thing Ning Cheng did when he stepped off the tournament stage was to prepare to leave, as for whether Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie would go as soon as they did, he simply didn’t care anymore.
