In just a moment’s time, the defensive formation disk that Shi Qionghua had set up let out a tiny click, it was obvious that this formation disk would completely collapse in just a few more breaths. Most of the array plates that Ning Cheng had handed over to Shi Qiong Hua were the Three Pole Star Array, this kind of array plate would not last long even in the face of an attack from a Star Gathering cultivator, not to mention that the person attacking at the entrance of Shi Qiong Hua’s cave was also a Star Bridge realm cultivator.
“What should we do?” Chasing Ox was half-hearted, and could only look at Shi Qiong Hua with bated breath.
Shi Qionghua couldn’t explain carefully, and directly flew and landed on Chasing Ox’s back and said, “Never mind the rest, you should rush out now, as fast as you can, without any hesitation or pause.”
“Ka-ching ……” Almost at the same time as the defensive array plate of Shi Qiong Hua’s cave was blasted through, Chasing Ox brushed past as if it was a lightning that was nowhere.
The cultivator at the entrance who had blasted through Shi Qiong Hua’s formation seemed to have been prepared for this, and as soon as the chasing ox charged out it followed, bringing up a shadow to chase after it, the time gap between before and after was only a gap.
……
Ning Cheng saw all sorts of body refining materials in a trance, and each of them appeared in his mind, as if the best body refining material that came to his mind could immediately appear in front of him and then be incorporated into his body to make it even tougher.
In that subconscious feeling, Ning Cheng knew that this must be an illusion. This was because he himself was not even sure if these materials in his intention really existed. But he just couldn’t wake up from his illusion, and subconsciously as soon as he woke up, he would be torn into nothingness by this endless sword aura.
Ning Cheng could only grasp out all sorts of body refining materials unrelentingly, knowing full well that this could be an illusion. Fire-attribute, metallic, wood-attribute …… five element attributes, hetero-attributes ……
At the back, even top star materials, chaos attribute body refining materials were grabbed by him at will. His body seems to be going through all kinds of torment and restructuring. That feeling is simply impossible to grasp, mysterious and mysterious.
It was not known how long had passed when the illusion around him suddenly disappeared and Ning Cheng suddenly opened his eyes.
The first thing he did was to check his body, and then he was shocked to find that apart from not a single strand of clothing on his body, his skin was smooth and healthy all over, full of a streamlined beauty.
This was successful Nirvana? Ning Cheng raised his arm in amazement and looked at it. A line of linear muscles neither stood out nor carried endless power. It gave Ning Cheng the feeling that even if he attacked with a Dao weapon on his body, it wouldn’t necessarily make him bleed. Despite knowing that this feeling was unreliable, Ning Cheng’s heart was still overwhelmed with excitement, he was certain that he had succeeded in refining his body to Nirvana.
With this kind of body strength, if he were to experience the Immortal Jade Star’s self-explosion again now, he would definitely not be injured to the extent that he could not take care of himself.
Several more sword qi blasted over, merely leaving a white trail on Ning Cheng’s body, but unable to cut through his body.
He himself was still in the middle of the Sword Valley, Ning Cheng understood. He looked down and saw what was standing under his feet. Yes, it was really the Mirage Tree that he had taken out to refine his body before, he remembered that after he took out the Mirage Tree to refine his body, he quickly fell into that illusion.
The mirage tree looked a little more withered than before he took it out, and it had also become a little thinner.
Did the Mirage Tree really have the effect of refining the body for nirvana? Ning Cheng was surprised and grabbed the Mirage Tree. He did not expect that the Mirage Tree would not only have the effect of refining the body for nirvana, but also be so powerful. He had originally thought that if the Mirage Tree could not allow him to achieve Nirvana, he would use the Wood Essence to restore his physical body and give up on this Nirvana. In fact, after he used the Mirage Tree, he fell into a complete illusion, not to mention using the Essence of Wood, he couldn’t even manage to heal himself.
Luckily, the Mirage Tree did not let him down and really allowed him to succeed in Nirvana, otherwise he would have fallen away unjustly.
Ning Cheng drew a fearful breath, next time he could not be so reckless, this was simply a little too fatal.
Carefully putting the Mirage Tree away, Ning Cheng looked around and discovered that this was not at all the place where he had initially refined his body, it should be deep in the Sword Valley. During his nirvana, he had also unknowingly walked deep into the Sword Valley.
At a location more than ten metres away from him, there was a silver-grey skeleton. Ning Cheng walked over and he noticed that this silver-grey skeleton was different from the other skeletons in here. Other skeletons would turn into flying ash as soon as they touched it, but this silver-grey skeleton was still very hard, even the ring in this skeleton’s hand was not damaged.
Ning Cheng lifted his hand and took off the ring, breaking the ban and sweeping his divine sense inside. When he saw the contents of the ring, he could not help but shake his head. He had never seen such a poor cultivator before, there was only a broken top grade Dao weapon and some materials inside the ring. Apart from that, there were only a few jade slips. As for pills as well as star coins and whatnot, all of them were absent.
Taking out one of the jade slips, Ning Cheng scanned it and it recorded some cultivation information of this cultivator called Zhang Qiushui. From this jade slip, it could be seen that this cultivator called Zhang Qiushui was very meticulous, and all the resources he had obtained were used to refine his body.
The reason why he was so obsessed with refining his body was because Zhang Qiushui had always thought that his body refining technique was the first-rate in the entire starry sky.
Ning Cheng dropped this ring and quickly found Zhang Qiushui’s body refining technique that he considered himself to be first-rate.
Ning Cheng did not care about the strength or weakness of the body refining technique in this jade slip, what he was pleased about was that this jade slip contained the body refining technique after Nirvana.
After cultivating to the ninth level divine body, a cultivator had to rely on external objects for nirvana, and the body after nirvana was called an astral body. The astral body is divided into four realms: early, middle, late and complete, and after crossing the astral body, it is called the astral river body. The astral body is likewise divided into four realms, and after the astral body comes the astral body. Theoretically, after a cultivator refines his body to the Astral Body, he will be in a state of perfection and will never be able to advance again.
Ning Cheng was overjoyed, he had used the Mirage Tree to nirvana, at least there was no mistake in his body refining practices. The only doubt was that the mirage tree was still there after his nirvana. And he had indeed achieved nirvana, not only had he achieved nirvana, his physical body strength had also come straight to the middle stage of the Astral Body.
It was clear that not only was the body refining technique he had deduced good, but the effect of using the mirage tree to achieve nirvana was even more perfect.
According to the combination of his gong method and the gong method on this jade slip, Ning Cheng felt that he should go deeper into the Sword Valley to take a look. In the deeper parts of the Sword Valley, perhaps he could go even further.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng immediately helped himself clean up a little while changing his set of clothes. It was to go in, he also had to go and say hello to Shi Qionghua.
After Nirvana, the sword qi that could originally tear him apart casually could only cut through the outside of his clothes and not cause him any damage at this time under the protection of his Body Refining Star Element.
Ning Cheng quickly rushed out of the Sword Valley, took out his time setting magic weapon and scanned it, only then did he realise that half a year had passed since he had gone through Nirvana.
Originally, Ning Cheng thought that at most a month had passed, but he did not expect that so much time had passed. Ning Cheng’s heart immediately became anxious, when he went in, Shi Qiong Hua was only at Nian Xing cultivation, even if Shi Qiong Hua had used the Yongwang Dan to cultivate and advanced to Shattered Star, it was remarkable.
Ning Cheng was worried if the people from the You family would be able to find him after such a long time. His divine sense swept out and just a few breaths later, Ning Cheng swept into the cave that Shi Qiong Hua had once dug. At the entrance of the cave was a broken defensive array plate, which he had still given to Shi Qiong Hua. However, at this moment, the array plate was broken and casually discarded at the entrance of the equally dilapidated cave.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, Shi Qiong Hua’s cave had been discovered? Now that Shi Qiong Hua was not there, where had she gone?
In anxiety, Ning Cheng immediately took out the communication bead. As soon as the communication bead was taken out from the Xuanhuang Pearl’s small five element world, a disconnected message was received, “I …… eclipse …… cliff …… ”
The message must have come from Shi Qionghua, it should have experienced too long without searching for the formation to receive the communication beads, the message was somewhat collapsed.
Ning Cheng knew that the communication bead he left in the ring for Shi Qiong Hua was a medium grade dao weapon, which he had refined himself, this kind of communication bead was considered to be of good grade. It would take two to three months for the message sent by a communication bead of this grade to find the receiving communication bead before it completely collapsed.
The message given to him by Shi Qiong Hua had only festered to some scattered language by now, so it was evident that the message sent by Shi Qiong Hua was at least two months old.
Ning Cheng was in a great hurry, he had no idea where the Erosion Cliff was.
Wanting to ask about the places around here, where else but the Sword Mountain Dao? Ning Cheng went back to Sword Mountain Dao once again.
……
The fellow at the entrance of the Sword South Rest Inn greeted every customer with a smile, and when he saw a blue-shirted cultivator approaching, he raised his hand from afar and said, “Friend from afar, the Sword South Rest Inn will be the best …… place for you to stay.”
The fellow’s words came to an abrupt halt as he recognised Ning Cheng.
“It’s you?” The fellow looked at Ning Cheng standing in front of him in astonishment and uncertainty, half a year ago a female cultivator with a veil on her face came over with this male cultivator on her back. At that time, he only knew that this male cultivator was seriously injured and could not even move on his own.
Later, because of the pressure exerted by the You family, the Jian Nan Rest Inn had forcibly expelled these two guests. The deacon of the Jian Nan Rest Inn even refused to refund the room fees to these two cultivators, the reason was naturally very simple, that is, if they fell into the hands of the You family, even if they could survive, they would still be a dog, how could they come back to the Jian Nan Rest Inn for the room fees? Although the Jiannan Rest Inn is sincere in its business, it is not willing to give away this kind of money which is clearly almost as good as picking it up.
Ning Cheng smiled, “That’s right, it’s me. Last time I asked you to say hello to your steward, did you do so?”
“This, this ……” The fellow hurriedly bumbled for half a day, but did not say anything.
Ning Cheng patted the fellow’s shoulder, “It doesn’t matter if you didn’t say anything, when your deacon comes, you can tell him the same thing, just tell him what I said last time. I came here today to ask you about two things. Firstly, do you have any news about the female cultivator who left the Rest Inn behind my back last time? Secondly where is the Erosion Cliff? Or is it not called Erosion Cliff but something else.”
