After eighteen arcs of tribal lightning had passed, Ning Cheng finally took a breath. However, this was only a gap of a few breaths before another dense arc of tribal thunder fell.
As another eighteen thunder arcs fell, Ning Cheng was barely able to control the shadow of the Green Thunder City, and his sea of consciousness was beginning to tear with pain. The more thunder arcs the Green Thunder City absorbed, the harder it became for him to control it.
However, Ning Cheng knew very well in his heart that once the shadow of the Peerless Green Thunder City disappeared, then he would be completely finished. Without the shadow of the Green Thunder City, he would be nothing under this terrifying thunderclap and would be torn apart to pieces minute by minute.
“Pfft” a mouthful of blood spurted out, Ning Cheng felt that his sea of consciousness was already cracking open, even though he was frantically running the Clasping Yang Divine Energy, he still could not hold on somewhat.
Before the eighteen thunder arcs had completely passed, another nine thunder arcs fell.
“Boom,” a violent vibration blasted through Ning Cheng’s sea of consciousness, his divine sense seemed to have increased several times at once, and his true essence was even increasing exponentially. The tens of millions of spirit stones in the Spirit Gathering Formation completely turned into spirit mist at this moment, directly pouring into Ning Cheng’s meridians.
With a ‘click’, the golden pellet on the Dan Lake cracked open at this moment, forming a vague shadow of a Yuan Soul. The powerful true essence and divine sense instantly made Ning Cheng feel relaxed, and instead of continuing to disappear, the soon-to-be-disappearing green Thunder City shadow became even clearer.
Ning Cheng had finally experienced what it meant to have a darkness, he had broken through that layer of shackles at the most crucial time and advanced to the Yuan Soul Realm. He had heard that at the initial stage of advancing to the Yuan Soul Realm, the Yuan Spirit was blurred and could barely see the shape.
But he had just advanced to Yuan Soul and his Yuan Shen was clear as a bell, so it was clear that his strength was definitely far beyond that of Yuan Soul cultivators of the same rank.
When the last nine lightning arcs fell, Ning Cheng had completely put his mind at ease. With his current cultivation level at the early Yuan Soul stage, as long as too many lightning arcs did not fall at once, he thought that it would not kill him.
When the eighty-first thunder arc was partially blocked by the Infinite Green Thunder City and then fell on Ning Cheng, the sky cleared up abruptly. A coloured cloud suddenly appeared above his head, and water droplets that were like sweet rain fell from the coloured cloud and landed directly on Ning Cheng’s body.
An indescribable enlightenment surged into Ning Cheng’s heart, and not only did Ning Cheng’s cultivation level soar at this moment, his Yuan Shen also rapidly solidified. Moreover, his injuries were also healing rapidly, even the raw elemental shoot marrow was far inferior to this water bead.
This powerful sense, where would Ning Cheng let go of it. His divine sense was rounding out, his true essence was strengthening, while Ning Cheng’s magic techniques and gun intent were also being refined.
“Boom” The sense of enlightenment was interrupted and Ning Cheng found that the rainbow above his head had long disappeared, and the water droplets that were dripping down were also gone. Ning Cheng secretly cried out in his heart that it was a bit too short a time.
Ning Cheng knew that his Yuan Soul Lightning Tribulation had passed peacefully, and at this moment he looked wretched, his body was covered in blood and bruises, but he was incomparably happy in his heart.
As his Yuan Soul continued to solidify, Ning Cheng finally understood what Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie meant when they said that the phase was born from the heart. When one advanced to the Yuan Soul and condensed the Yuan Spirit, the phase would be created from the heart, or with a little deliberate effort, there would be no hindrance.
Another half day passed and Ning Cheng stood up, he checked himself, apart from growing a little taller and his body was much stronger, the rest was not much different from when he was studying in Jiangzhou.
After feeling his divine sense and true essence again, the feeling that he was not sure how much stronger than Xuan Dan came flooding back.
Finally having a few capital, Ning Cheng breathed out, now that Jiang Jun dared to come nagging again, he could crush this guy without even bothering. Not to mention the Yuan-Soul cultivators, even if a God-shaping cultivator came, so what? Here, cultivation was guts.
After Ning Cheng performed several Dust Removal Techniques and Clear Water Techniques to clean himself, he realised that not only did his skin not turn black under such a violent thunderstorm, it had become even more polished.
No wonder those with higher cultivation levels had longer lifespans, this was the same as being younger with every advancement, there was no need for any face-perfecting pills at all. Only those whose cultivation could not keep up with their lifespan would gradually age or need a face-preserving pill.
The first thing Ning Cheng had to do after advancing to Yuan-Soul was to go to the Zhangyi Dao Sect. It was true that he could wait until his cultivation was high before going there, but he knew that according to Shi Qiong Hua’s words, Xu An Zhen would never wait until his cultivation was high before dealing with Shi Qiong Hua.
Shi Qionghua knew this, which was why he had gone to the Heavenly Road early.
What’s more, even without the matter of Shi Qiong Hua, Ning Cheng could not wait until his cultivation was high before he went. That was too long, there was no such thing as a gentleman taking revenge for ten years in his dictionary, for him to take revenge was only a matter of time.
Ning Cheng was not an idiot, he knew very well that if he went to the Chopping Emotion Dao Sect like that, then he would really be an idiot. That was not going to retrieve part of the suppressed Yuan Shen for Master Qiong Hua, it was not going to steal the Heavenly Resurrection Flower, it was going to deliver death and something. He was like a child competing with a strong man compared to the Chopping Emotion Daoist Sect.
Even if his concealment techniques were good and sneaky, going over unprepared like this would be a dead end. He was prepared to die, but definitely did not want to die. Ning Cheng loved his own little life more than the cultivators here.
His fists were nowhere near as good as the Zhangyi Dao Sect, so he could only use his head to find the right time and place, which gave him a slight chance. In the Battle of Interwar, Xie Xuan had only 80,000 men but took out Fu Jian’s 800,000 men, relying not on the size of his fists, but on the size of his head. What’s more, he was now calculating with his heart, so he couldn’t believe that he couldn’t calculate.
After Xu Yingdie’s beheading and Shi Qionghua’s sacrifice, Ning Cheng was not the same Ning Cheng. He could refrain from harming others, but here it was not enough just by refraining from harming others, for someone was going to find him.
When someone blasted him with their fist for a bit, his fist wouldn’t stay shrunken. Even if it shrinks for a bit, it is to blast back with more force. The Chopping Emotion Daoist Sect had taken the initiative to mess with him this time, so what else did he have to be polite about. Would you be the only one who would look for someone to cut off emotions? I can do it too, I just don’t care to do it.
……
After advancing to Yuan Soul, Ning Cheng found a place where the spiritual energy was slightly dense, dug himself a cave and continued to begin his seclusion.
This time Ning Cheng did not skimp, he not only used ten million spirit stones to set up the spirit gathering array, he even took out the broken crystal stone. This was not the time to be stingy, he had to raise his cultivation level again.
It had to be said that this broken crystal stone was unbelievably heaven defying, Ning Cheng did not use any pills, and with the help of ten million spirit stones and this crystal stone, in just four months, he had already advanced to the third level of the Origin Soul. The broken crystal stone in his hand had also dimmed a lot, and Ning Cheng guessed that with a few more cultivations, this crystal stone would soon be completely broken.
After advancing to the third level of the Origin Soul, Ning Cheng continued to cultivate the Concealment Technique. He would have to have the most powerful concealment dharma when he went to the Zhangyi Dao Sect. Half a month later, Ning Cheng stopped his seclusion.
Counting up, it had been five months since he and Shi Qiong Hua had parted ways, and he had little time left to act.
……
Tai An City was definitely one of the few largest cultivation cities in the Celestial Continent, and even compared to the Heavenly Daoist Gate Square’s workshop, Tai An City was still famous.
It was mainly because Tai An City’s location was a little too good, and in the vicinity of Tai An City were three major sects, the Red Sun Weapon Sect, the Red Star Sword Sect and the Star Luo House. These three sects are all among the top ten sects in the Heaven Continent, and further afield, even the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Zhangyi Dao Sect often have disciples who come here to look for good things.
On this day, a very ordinary cultivator came in Tai’an City. Despite the fact that this cultivator looked ordinary, his bid was not ordinary at all. He spent more than ten million spirit stones and a large amount of precious materials, exchanging many cold and out-of-the-way materials such as Silver Hollow Sand, Rootless Stone and Truncated Earth at various major merchant buildings ……
This ordinary cultivator was obviously Ning Cheng, he exchanged Silver Hollow Sand, Rootless Stone, and Truncated Earth all for life preservation. These materials were materials for refining formations, and they were also materials for refining teleportation formations.
Ning Cheng’s formation level had barely reached that of a rank seven formation master, and he could set up short-distance teleportation formations. Coupled with the fact that he was also a talisman master, he could also refine out a transmission formation talisman. Because his cultivation level was really limited, the teleportation formation talisman he refined had to be accompanied by a teleportation formation. Without a teleportation formation, his teleportation formation talisman would be useless at all.
After purchasing a large amount of materials, Ning Cheng arrived at the Xuan Guang Chamber of Commerce, the Xuan Guang Auction Hall belonged to the Xuan Guang Chamber of Commerce, which was not only the largest chamber of commerce in Tai An City, but was also famous in the Heaven Continent. It was second only to Wind Cloud Pavilion and Silver Ring, the two major chambers of commerce, and its reputation was nothing to speak of.
“Friend, if you sincerely want to send an auction, register with me and then sign a contract with us. The items will be placed with us and we will notify you at the next auction. If you want to see our master, I’m really sorry, I can’t help you here.” Faced with Ning Cheng’s unreasonable request, this Xuan Guang Chamber of Commerce’s contactor was a flat refusal.
Who am I kidding, if a random person came and wanted to see the boss, then the boss would still be a fart boss, so he might as well come and engage in the business of making contacts.
Ning Cheng did not expect that he would not be qualified to meet the boss, which made him disappointed. If he couldn’t meet the boss, there was no way to implement his plan. This little Chamber of Commerce contacting fellow was not yet able to help him achieve what he wanted.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng stood up and walked out. This fellow who was responsible for receiving Ning Cheng saw Ning Cheng go out and sneered, he had seen this kind of person too many times. All of them thought that their stuff was a treasure and treated themselves as a character, but in the end, they all brought out just a few ordinary goods.
What he did not expect was for Ning Cheng to open the door and stand in the doorway and suddenly say loudly, “Since the Xuan Guang Chamber of Commerce is so arrogant and unwilling to go further, let’s just pretend that I have never been here. I will go and look for the Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce, and I believe that they are very interested in what I have because they know how valuable my stuff is.”
