Ning Cheng opened his eyes and felt the incomparable surge of star energy all over his body, and for the first time, he was calm in the face of his wildly increasing cultivation level. He was clear that this point of his cultivation was nothing in the vastness of the starry sky.
In two years’ time, he had gone from the early stage of Star Shattering to the complete stage of Star Shattering under a pile of Yongwang Pills, and was only one step away from advancing to Gathering Star.
Even though he had not yet advanced to Gathering Star, Ning Cheng was very clear about his strength, and this strength would not be much weaker than the strength he had when he had swallowed the Storm Star Pill. This showed that the Starburst Pill was indeed not very effective for him, even if it was that kind of Star Bridge realm, it was still a simulation.
An elixir that had little effect on him, no wonder it could not cause much after-effect on him.
During the two years of seclusion, Ning Cheng had never gone out, and that Steward Lu seemed to have forgotten about him, and had never opened the small miscellaneous room outside this wine cellar.
The astral sea of consciousness became clearer and clearer, and his divine sense was even more so as he wished. His cultivation level had increased a lot, and Ning Cheng had never stretched his divine sense out during these two years. This was a merchant ship was good, a merchant ship that could cross the starry sky would definitely have strong people in it. In case a strong person pounced on his divine sense, it would be more than worth the loss.
It was time to prepare to advance to the Gathering Star, Ning Cheng exhaled slowly.
Before advancing to the Gathering Star, Ning Cheng took out the pile of storage rings. The Five Elements Falling Treasure Bronze Coin had been erased from all his divine sense markings, and he did not continue to refine this bronze coin, which was for Consort Luo. He absolutely did not believe that Consort Luo had just left, and even if she did, he would find her even if he went to heaven and earth.
The pile of rings of the Yue family was a pile of materials, apart from all sorts of talismans. Ning Cheng himself was a low-level talisman master, so these materials would allow him to refine some talismans for fun when he had nothing else to do. As for Yue Huangfu’s real star river class warship, with Ning Cheng’s ability, there was no way for him to use it for himself.
The only thing that pleased Ning Cheng was that three-layer iron tower of Yue Shang, which was called the Star Lock Tower. The first layer of mist could lock the opponent, and after locking the opponent the second layer of blade could easily cut down the opponent. The third layer is a domain-breaking formation mane, if the opponent’s domain is too powerful. Then the third layer of the Star Lock Tower will be activated to blast away the opponent’s domain directly. Then the opponent is easily decapitated.
……
After everything was prepared, Ning Cheng once again began to close his door to impact the Star Gathering.
Several months seemed like a few seconds to Ning Cheng, and it seemed that he had only just woken up from his seclusion. He was awakened by the ship shaking, and also almost at the same time as the ship shook, he advanced to the early stage of Star Gathering.
The star yuan that was like a rolling river filled through the meridians in his body, and the starry sea of consciousness was even several times tougher, and at this moment Ning Cheng even thought that he could stretch out his divine sense. At this moment, Ning Cheng even thought that if he stretched out his divine sense, he could easily lock up a star gathering cultivator of the same cultivation level. This was a kind of confidence that came with great strength, without any reason.
So powerful, Ning Cheng finally had some more excitement in his heart. In less than three years, he had advanced from Broken Star to Gathering Star. Even though he had a large amount of Yongwang Dan to support him, he knew that even a different person might not be able to do it.
To be stronger, one really had to take more risks. If he hadn’t gone to the Time Desolate Domain and entered the Eternal Hope Lake, would he have been able to advance to Broken Star in just ten years? Could he have comprehended the Sunset Twilight?
He had just advanced to Star Gathering, and this kind of mellowness of star energy was stronger than when he had swallowed the Starburst Pill. This cultivation was really better than cultivating and advancing on his own. It was true and real.
Continuing to consolidate his cultivation, Ning Cheng thought about this and suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he had just advanced to the level of a star gathering. It seemed that he had felt a vibration in the hull of the ship.
This was not the first time Ning Cheng had travelled in a void ship or warship, last time he had experienced this vibration midway out from the Leland Star River in a ship, and as a result the ship had met endless Star Devouring Rats. Could it be that he had met them again this time?
When Ning Cheng thought of this, an unmistakable voice came through, “Our fleet of ships discovered a drifting starland when they were about to enter the void, this starland stores a large amount of rare alchemy materials and even starry sky spirit herbs for alchemy. All cultivators can now enter the Drifting Starland in search of materials and starry sky spirit herbs. Cultivators who have obtained materials and starry sky spirit herbs can sell them on board. However, please note for cultivators going to the Drifting Starland. This Drifting Star Continent has a large number of starry sky beasts ……”
Ning Cheng’s divine sense took the initiative to sweep out and indeed found that many cultivators in the lowest cabin hall were rushing towards the bottom deck.
These cultivators had gone to great lengths to try to enter the Great Midheaven Star in a void ship. The main purpose was for the various cultivation resources. Now that there were cultivation resources in front of them, how could they miss them?
If they had not advanced to the Star Gathering. Ning Cheng might have remained in the small miscellaneous room for retreat. Now that he had advanced to Gathering Star, how could he miss such an opportunity? Several promotions had proved that merely staying at home in seclusion would have limited achievements. If he was just such a cultivator who stayed at home in seclusion, perhaps he would still be in Rootless Black City or even in the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect right now.
Ning Cheng took out his Dao weapon mask and once again disguised himself as a star wanderer, leaving the small miscellaneous room and interspersed with the many cultivators on the deck.
By the time Ning Cheng reached the deck, the lowest deck of the merchant ship had already been filled with cultivators. Even though this was the lowest deck, the crowd could still see the scene outside the starry sky.
More than ten huge starships were suspended in the starry sky, and in front of these starships, there was indeed a huge black shadow of a star-land. It was evident that it was an entire fleet of ships that had gone to this drifting star-land in search of treasures this time.
“Hurry up and open the forbidden system, let us out.” Some anxious cultivators were already shouting from the edge of the forbidden system on the deck.
A middle-aged cultivator with a powerful aura came down from the upper level, he swept a glance at the cultivators on the deck, and then said, “It’s our luck that the fleet has met the Drifting Starland in the starry sky. But what I want to tell you is that it is equally a challenge. This drifting star-land is very dangerous, and there are huge swarms of star-beasts inside. I won’t say much else, I know that even if it is dangerous, everyone will still go.
While I am opening the forbidden system, I would like to tell you all a piece of good news. That is that all Daoists who have obtained materials in this drifting starland can go to the top floor of the merchant ship to trade what you have obtained. Many daoists are still living in the large cabin halls on the bottom level, so if you can get good things on the Drifting Starland, you may soon be able to move to a single room of Yuan Qi on the upper level. Now, open the ban and good luck to everyone ……”
While the ban on the deck was opened, the cultivators who couldn’t wait had already rushed out. Not to mention finding good materials to sell on the upper level, or even to live on the upper level. Even for the cultivators themselves, which one of them did not want more materials to improve their strength?
At this time, the bottom layer bans of all the ships in the flotilla were opened, and countless cultivators swarmed towards this drifting star-land.
Ning Cheng controlled the cottage warship, sandwiched among the many cultivators, and after a casual sweep of his divine sense, he estimated that there were hundreds of thousands of cultivators rushing out here.
When he reached the outskirts of this drifting star-land, Ning Cheng finally understood what that middle-aged cultivator meant when he said a large number of beasts. Beyond this drifting star continent, there were endless Starry Sky Stone Ripple Spiders. Even before they got close to the drifting star continent, the fishy aura emanating from the Starry Sky Stone Ripple Spiders could be clearly felt.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept around and secretly sighed in his heart, these flotillas really did not have good intentions. The cultivators that were released now were all the cultivators from the bottom cabin, so there was no need to ask, after these bottom cabin cultivators had almost eliminated the starry stone spiders, the cultivators that lived above would come over.
This bilge not only earned a large amount of star coins for this star class merchant ship, but also had to act as a fighter for these merchant ships.
Hordes of starry stone grain spiders saw the various warships coming over and rushed out. A stream of colourful spider silk and various kinds of blade arrows were spat out by the Starry Sky Stone Ripple Spiders, like a dense multicoloured mist without any half-way gap.
Before some of the cultivators who had rushed to the front could activate the devices on the battleship, the battleship was entangled in this spider silk. The battleship emitted a snorting sound and was soon corroded by these multicoloured spider threads. The cultivators who rushed out from the battleships usually only had time to launch one or two means of attack before they were swallowed up by the successive multicoloured spider threads or blades of the Starry Sky Stone Ripple Spider.
More battleships instead poured out a stream of light and blasted at the Starry Sky Stone Tattoo Spider. Ning Cheng knew that these were radium arrows of various grades, and some radium cannons as well.
Hordes of Starry Sky Stone Ripple Spiders were blasted down, and there were also a constant stream of cultivators’ battleships being blasted away by Starry Sky Stone Ripple Spiders. Ning Cheng’s cottage battleship also occasionally shot out a few cottage radium arrows, indicating that he was also attacking.
Although there were many of these Starry Sky Stone Tattoo Spiders, they were much inferior to those Starry Sky Spirit Devouring Rats that Ning Cheng had met back then. Half a day later, the Starry Sky Stone Ripple Spiders were even more sparse.
When they were about to be blown apart, countless warships once again flew out from the dozens of merchant ships that were suspended in place.
The Starry Sky Stone Tattoo Spiders, which were already unable to resist, completely collapsed and fled in droves. Only then did Ning Cheng understand that the cultivators who had come out after them were not afraid of death, but did not want to wave radium arrows.
As soon as the Starry Sky Stone Tattoo Spiders fled, these millions of cultivators immediately rushed into this floating star land. Ning Cheng naturally would not be polite, this kind of floating star land was usually a masterless land, whoever went in first would get the best things.
Even though there were millions of people, after entering this floating starland, the crowd instantly scattered, and not even a single figure could be seen around Ning Cheng.
In such a place, Ning Cheng’s divine sense was no longer half reserved as it spread out, and a bamboo that emitted a powerful vitality appeared in his divine sense. Although Ning Cheng did not recognise what kind of bamboo it was, he knew that it was definitely something good.
Within a few breaths, Ning Cheng arrived in front of this bamboo. It was a green bamboo that was only three feet tall, and the leaves on it looked similar to those of ordinary bamboos, but they were much wider.
Ning Cheng was just about to dig up this bamboo when a human figure appeared in his divine sense. Ning Cheng sped up his movements, and by the time he had dug this bamboo up, the figure landed in front of him.
