Leaving the auction hall, Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out, and to his disappointment the round-faced teenager had long since gone. However, as long as that round-faced teenager was in Zu Tian Starry Sky City, Ning Cheng believed that he could ask Zi Che Jun to help him look for him.
Having the jade token in hand was only a big deal for Ning Cheng. Together with the Sky Treasure Silk being available again, his Sky Cloud Twin Wings could advance another level. The only regret was that the Star River Flame had not been upgraded.
“Blood River Mountain is telling fortunes! Blood River Mountain is telling fortunes ……” Ning Cheng had not even reached the Star Immortal Realm when he heard this fortune telling voice, and when he looked up he saw the round-faced teenager.
This teenager was carrying a signboard with ‘Blood River Mountain Trigonometry’ written on it and was shouting randomly on the street.
The words ‘Blood River Mountain Trigonometry’ had already made Ning Cheng certain that this teenager had been sent by Brother Ninety Cangwei to find him. This kid couldn’t find him and went around calling Blood River Mountain to tell fortunes, and the bottom of Blood River Mountain was the place where Cang Wei was trapped. What puzzled him was, how did Cang Wei know he was here?
Ning Cheng walked up and slapped this round-faced teenager on the shoulder.
“Senior, you want to tell fortunes.” The round-faced teenager hurriedly revealed a pleasing smile.
“Cut the crap, Brother Cang Wei sent you here, right?” Ning Cheng grunted.
Immediately, the round-faced teenager exclaimed in surprise, “You must be Senior Uncle Ning, my master said that no one can know me except Senior Uncle Ning. Senior Uncle Ning, how did you disguise yourself in such a way that I don’t even recognize you?”
Ning Cheng slapped this round-faced boy on the head again, “Did I know you well before? Don’t be n*ggly, just follow me.”
This b*stard had cost him a few more tens of thousands of Yongwang Dan, Ning Cheng was very upset. Seeing that this kid was not very old, his guts were simply going to be wrapped up in the sky. Other people had paid more Yongwang Dan. What the hell did it have to do with him? Only a guy with a hairless mouth would use such tactics to screw people over.
“Yes. Master Uncle.” The round-faced teenager put away his signboard. Dropping his head, he followed Ning Cheng into the White Food Alchemy Shop.
After Ning Cheng entered the shop, he surprisingly did not see Cen Yan.
Ning Cheng brought the round-faced teenager to the first floor and put a ban on it before asking, “Where is Big Brother Cang Wei? How did he know that I was here? And he told you to come and look for it.”
The round-faced boy hurriedly took out a crystal ball and handed it to Ning Cheng, “This is what Master told me to leave for you, after you open the restraint, there is an image of Master’s divine thoughts. Master told me to follow my senior uncle in the future to break through ……”
Such a troublemaker following himself to make a break for it? How much trouble would he face in the future then?
“What’s your name?” Ning Cheng put away the crystal ball and asked.
The round-faced teenager hurriedly said. “My name is Sword Pepper, my master always calls me b*tch Pepper, actually I am the Sword of Sword Qi ……”
Without waiting for Jian Pepper to finish his sentence, Ning Cheng interrupted, “Your master is right, from now on you will be called b*tch Pepper.”
“Oh ……” Jian Pepper once again dropped his head, he now seemed to have little difference between staying with his senior uncle and staying with his master.
“You go down and stand at the counter, I’ll have a few words with your master and then come back down.” Ning Cheng gestured to the round-faced teenager to go down first.
“Oh.” The round-faced teenager looked honest at this time. But Ning Cheng definitely did not believe that he was honest, an honest fellow. Wouldn’t have made such a big mess at the auction. If the auction hadn’t been uncaring and didn’t want to kill anyone. This kid would have lost ten lives and might have even gotten him involved.
Only after Ning Cheng waited for the round-faced teenager to go downstairs did he take out the crystal ball and open the ban in it.
Cang Wei’s image emerged, “Brother Ning, I guessed that you should be able to come to the Great Central Heavenly Sky within a hundred years, I didn’t expect that in far less than a hundred years, you would have arrived in the Great Central Heavenly Sky. Haha, I really wasn’t wrong.”
Knowing that this was a trace of Cang Wei’s divine thoughts, Ning Cheng quickly stood up and called out, “Brother Cang, where are you? I’ll come find you once I’ve finished things on my side.”
Cang Wei smiled, “No need, I am no longer in this side of the starry sky. I’ll go first, I’m sure you’ll be able to fight alongside me soon. Let’s call each other master and brother from now on, I’ll call you Senior Brother Ning.”
“Of course it’s fine, so what is senior brother going to?” Ning Cheng asked, puzzled.
“We’ll talk about that later, I let Little Pepper come over because after I left, Little Pepper had no place to go. I have received a great favour from Little Pepper’s mother, so you help me look after him for a few years, and as long as I wait for him to reach the Star Bridge realm, I can let him go out on his own.”
Ning Cheng nodded and said, “Senior Brother, don’t worry about it, Little Pepper will be left to me. What I’m wondering is how you know I’m in Zu Tian Starry Sky City, Senior Brother.”
The expression on Cang Wei’s image gelled a little, “Senior brother, this is actually the thing I want to remind you of this time. I knew that you were in Zu Tian Starry Sky City, or knew that you were about to come to Zu Tian Starry Sky City, because of the Immortal Jade Star that suddenly appeared. There is a kind of Origin in the Immortal Jade Star, and usually when Origin appears, it is because it senses the aura of a creation treasure. This kind of heavenly induction in the underworld is not clear to anyone.
I know clearly that the Xuanhuang Pearl of Creation is in your possession, and the Xuanhuang Pearl needs five originals to form a world. Moreover, the Xuanhuang Pearl has recognised you as its master, so the origin of the Immortal Jade Star must have appeared because of the Xuanhuang Pearl. That’s why I guessed that you would come to the Zetian Star City, or will come to the Zetian Star City.”
“Senior Brother Cang, I have also thought about this matter, is it because the creation treasure has recognized me as its master, that the original source of the Immortal Jade Star will be obtained by me?” Ning Cheng had thought about this question before, he just never dared to be sure. Now that Cang Wei had mentioned it, he immediately asked it.
Cang Wei said even more seriously, “This is what I want to caution you about, the Origin has appeared because of your creation treasures, but this Origin does not necessarily have to go to you. If you are not careful, the Origin will be taken away by someone else just the same. If only the origin is taken away by others, this is still secondary, I am most afraid that you will be schemed by those old devils.
Alas, it is really difficult for me to recover my strength in such a place, otherwise I would have gone to refine that Immortal Jade Star for you. The Immortal Jade Star is blocked by some Eternal Realm cultivators, and my cultivation has dropped too much, so it would be useless to go there.”
“I’m just a stargazing cultivator, even if I get a treasure, I’ll throw it into the Xuanhuang Pearl, and the Eternal Realm won’t easily find it, right?” Ning Cheng said doubtfully.
Cang Wei laughed coldly, “Then tell me, why was the Immortal Jade Star sealed up by several Great Starry Sky cultivators using formations? Not only was it sealed up, but only Star Peeping Realm cultivators were allowed to enter?”
Ning Cheng had heard Ceng Yan talk about this issue, and Ceng Yan had said back then that it was because these great powers were afraid that when they fought for it, they would blow up the Immortal Jade Star, causing the treasures to vanish. Now that Cang Wei was asking this question again, Ning Cheng immediately came to his senses when he combined it with what Cang Wei had said before and said in a startled voice, “Senior Brother, you are saying that ……”
Seeing that Ning Cheng understood, Cang Wei nodded, “That’s right, since I can know that the Origin has appeared because someone who possesses a creation treasure came here. Can you guarantee that others don’t know about it? Although this world is average, there are some well-informed cultivators. Once someone knows about it, then the Immortal Jade Star is a conspiracy.
Wait for you to get the Origin and lock you up. What the experts of these few stars are really fighting over is not that Origin, but you, the one who possesses the treasures of creation. Let alone the fact that you are still only at Star Peeping cultivation, even if you advanced to the Eternal Realm, how many chances would you have under the siege of many great powers?”
Ning Cheng broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly bowed, “Thank you for the reminder, senior brother, otherwise I would still be in the middle of a situation without knowing it.”
“Then do you still plan to go to the Immortal Jade Star?” Cang Wei looked at Ning Cheng and asked.
Ning Cheng smiled, “Naturally I will go, when something appears, it would be incompetent of me not to go and fight for it. Even if it’s a creation treasure, it won’t recognize an incompetent person as its master.”
Cang Wei said appreciatively, “You are right, a coward is not worthy of possessing a creation treasure. But you don’t have to worry, when your five elemental origins are fully gathered, it will be difficult for others to take away your treasures of creation again. Because at that time, it is you who will control your world, not now, when you can only cling to your world. I can’t help you with the Immortal Jade Star, if I help you, I will instead be doing you a disservice by attracting others to pay attention to you, which can only be done by you.
Also remember these words of mine, you can only truly exist in the future after you have broken out of this starry sky.”
“Senior brother, what does this mean?” Ning Cheng hurriedly asked.
Cang Wei said in a deep voice, “This is also what I wanted to say to you before I left, that is, you asked me before about where I was going to go. The Eternal Realm of this starry sky is merely an arrogant name for a realm, the Chaotic Universe, there are countless realms and starry spaces, but these realms and starry spaces cannot be truly eternal even if they are cultivated to the extreme.”
“Senior brother, I heard that the life span of the Eternal Realm is endless ……”
Before Ning Cheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Cang Wei, “The life span of the Eternal Realm is endless? Even when I was in my prime, I could not be said to have an endless lifespan. An Eternal Realm cultivator, if it was when I was in full bloom, I could reach out and crush them to death. And even if I regained my cultivation, when I reached my full height, I would still be just a tiny living being in the starry sky.”
Ning Cheng knew that Cang Wei was powerful, but he did not expect it to be this powerful, and he concentrated his mind even more to listen. According to Senior Brother Cang Wei’s words, his path of starry sky cultivation had only just begun.
Cang Wei’s voice became somewhat distant, “After countless years of searching and exploring, I finally know that after cultivating to the extreme in this universe, there is a new realm. Only by opening up this new realm can one be eternal, can one be truly immortal.
My cultivation was limited, and I was not willing to fall away slowly like this. I looked around for an opportunity and finally learnt that there was another talisman in this heaven and earth. This talisman would allow me to go to a place, a place that would give me a better chance to get closer to that pinnacle and eternity.
I found this talisman, but how many more thousands of people are like me? They are also looking for the true eternity. In the end I got that talisman, but I almost fell too, and it was you, senior brother, who saved my life. You should know why I did not rob you of the Xuanhuang Pearl, right? The kindness of saving my life is the same as rebuilding it. It would be against my dao for me to snatch your Xuanhuang pearl. I was not wrong about you either, you are a brother worthy of friendship. If it were an unrelated cultivator instead, I would have snatched the Xuanhuang Pearl long ago.”
Ning Cheng drew a cold breath backwards, back at the bottom of the Blood River Mountain, he had almost turned around at the Ghost Gate. It seemed that strength was still really strong when one was strong.
