Ning Cheng did not know that he had spoiled Duan Gantai’s good deed, and even if he did, he would not hesitate to siphon off Moi Chamber’s Starry Sky Yuan Qi Veins.
Not to mention that this Yuan Qi Vein belonged to the Mo family and was taken away by the Xiang Yi Chamber of Commerce, and that he had taken it with the acquiescence of the Mo family’s descendants. Even if there was no Mo Xie and he saw this Starry Sky Yuan Qi Vein, he would not let it go. What did he lack most now? Wasn’t it cultivation resources.
Ning Cheng had not guessed wrongly, when the Aioi Chamber of Commerce’s Starry Sky Yuan Qi Vein was suddenly taken away, the Chamber of Commerce did not react at all, and Ning Cheng even left Mo Yi City without panicking.
After leaving Moyi City, Ning Cheng did not have to walk far before he once again sensed Duan Gantai’s tethered divine silk. Duan Gantai, who had been missing for half a day, had once again made contact.
Ning Cheng had already understood in his heart that Duan Gantai had disconnected the God Tethering Silk, so he must have gone to do something, and he did not want to let himself know about this matter. Now that he had restored the God Tethering Silk, it should be because he had finished his business.
Ning Cheng also had a personal matter now, and he had likewise not unblocked the Tethered God Silk. Duan Gantai did not want him to know about his business, and he naturally did not want Duan Gantai to know about his business either.
However, he finally knew why Duan Gantai was so generous as to give him the address of the Time Temple. This guy was afraid that if he got angry, he would also disconnect the God Tether, and then the two of them would have no contact. Giving him the address of the Time Temple had only one purpose, that was, in case the two of them couldn’t contact each other, they would go to the Time Temple to rendezvous.
“What a treacherous thing.” Not far outside of Moy City, Duan Gantai once again gritted his teeth. He had indeed guessed correctly, he was able to untie the Tethered God Silk alone, Ning Cheng could do the same. He said that when Ning Cheng had agreed to the matter of tethering the divine silk so quickly, it turned out to be the same as him.
……
Sacred Light Ridge, the name sounded imposing and extraordinary. In fact, this place was nothing but a barren area. There is nothing. Even the starry sky Yuan Qi is much poorer here than elsewhere. Moreover, not to mention the holy light here, even ordinary sunlight could hardly fall down.
If it weren’t for the small temple known throughout the Xuanhuang Star Continent. Not many people would have known about the Holy Light Ridge. This small temple, however, has an equally imposing name. The Xuanhuang Sacred Temple.
Because of this small temple, the Sacred Light Ridge was not only famous throughout the entire Xuanhuang Star Continent, but there was also a constant stream of cultivators coming and going. The most famous time was just before the opening of a secret realm in the Xuanhuang Star Continent, and the area around the Sacred Light Ridge was full of cultivators who came to pay their respects. All the cultivators who came to Sacred Light Ridge had only one thing to do, and that was to worship at the Sacred Temple of Xuanhuang at Sacred Light Ridge, in order to enhance their own Qi luck.
But in recent years. The number of cultivators visiting the Sacred Light Ridge to pay homage has been decreasing. The reason for this is not only that the Xuanhuang Sacred Temple is becoming more and more dilapidated, but also because many cultivators have discovered that worshipping the Xuanhuang Sacred Temple does not seem to enhance their qi. Those who should have fallen would have fallen just the same.
When Ning Cheng arrived at the Sacred Light Ridge, he did not see a single person. To be honest, Ning Cheng felt that this Sacred Light Ridge in front of him could not be called a ridge at all, it could only be called a small hill.
The area around the Sacred Light Ridge for hundreds of miles was all yellow soil, and it could be said that not an inch of grass grew. From a distance. It was as if a large yellow cloth was dotted with a grey black dot. This black dot was naturally the location of the Xuanhuang Sacred Temple, known throughout the Xuanhuang Star Continent, the Sacred Light Ridge.
Even the wind was not too strong. The entire Sacred Light Ridge became a yellow haze, as if a yellow haze was covering everything. As soon as the sunlight was covered by the yellow haze, it could no longer fall on the outskirts of the Sacred Light Ridge.
Ning Cheng put away his flying magic treasure and landed on top of the yellow soil on the outskirts of the Sacred Light Ridge. His divine sense was about to sweep out when he was surprised to find that the sky, which had been blown everywhere by the wind, had instantly quieted down.
The yellowish dust fell to the ground as if gravity had suddenly increased. In just a few breaths, the entire area around the Holy Light Ridge became clearer than ever. The yellow haze of sand and dust disappeared. The sunlight also fell directly on top of the yellow dust of the Sacred Light Ridge.
There seemed to be a prayerful voice ringing in Ning Cheng’s ears, and Ning Cheng stopped. Trying to listen carefully, he found that the voice had disappeared without a trace again.
Ning Cheng frowned. He felt something odd. Could it be that this Xuanhuang Sacred Temple in the Sacred Light Ridge was really related to his own Xuanhuang Pearl?
After standing in the same place for a while, Ning Cheng did not notice anything strange before he continued to the Sacred Light Ridge.
Ning Cheng did not walk very fast, and only half a column of incense later did he stand at the foot of the Sacred Light Ridge. A very strange feeling came over him, causing something more familiar yet difficult to say in his heart.
As Ning Cheng walked further up the ridge, this feeling became stronger and stronger. At this moment, Ning Cheng even wanted to turn around and leave. However, that strong feeling made him want to go up and take a look even more.
Another half column of incense passed and Ning Cheng finally stood at the entrance of the Xuanhuang Sacred Temple. The Xuanhuang Sacred Temple was in a state of disrepair and the eaves were half broken, but there was something magnificent and solemn that rose unconsciously in Ning Cheng’s heart, and Ning Cheng subconsciously stepped into the temple door.
If the outside of the Xuanhuang Sacred Temple was already simple and dilapidated enough, after entering this, the Xuanhuang Sacred Temple was even more rudimentary.
A simple and dilapidated futon was placed in the middle, and in front of the futon was a stone altar, and behind the altar was a not-so-large shrine with a clay statue.
Just as Ning Cheng’s gaze landed on the clay statue, there was a buzzing sound in his mind.
A solemn and incomparable voice resounded in his mind, and he seemed to see himself standing in an endless void, and above this endless void, there was a powerful person of boundless magical power sitting at the end of the clouds. Ten thousand seven-coloured rays of light shone down from the sky and fell on this powerful man of boundless magical power.
Countless people worshipped on the ground, bowing in reverence and worship. Whether they were peddlers, emperors, kings, monks or immortals ……
“Bye bye bye ……”
A simple-minded voice rang out in Ning Cheng’s mind, wanting Ning Cheng to kneel on top of the futon and worship.
“Worship me and you may be granted supreme* power ……”
“Worship me and it will grant you to attain the supreme dao ……”
“Worship me and you will be granted a supreme heritage ……”
“Worship me and you will be granted a life for the universe ……”
“Worship me ……”
At this moment, Ning Cheng’s entire mind was filled with worship, all kneeling, all praying, all devotional words ……
At this moment, Ning Cheng’s legs were trembling as a voice kept calling him again and again to kneel down and worship. As long as he worshipped, he would be able to get everything he wanted to get.
But there was another voice in his head, a voice that was constantly telling him that these were not what he wanted.
Why didn’t he want it? What did he become an astral practitioner for? Wasn’t it for the sake of great power? Only with great power could he control his own destiny.
Cold sweat fell from Ning Cheng’s face as he was unable to breathe from the pressure of this might. He had no choice but to worship.
No ……
A tougher thought surfaced deep in Ning Cheng’s mind, the most powerful strength cannot be given by others, and the most powerful dao is not something that you can prove if someone gives it to you.
Even if the power that someone else gives you is even stronger, that person who gives you the power is stronger than you. The Dao that someone else gives you is the Dao that you can attain supreme, and that person who gives you the Dao is more powerful than you in what he or she has attained. No matter how long ago someone else gave you the inheritance, it is still after someone else. Someone else has given you a life for the universe, and you are still a pawn in someone else’s hand ……
From the time he had his own mind, he, Ning Cheng, had been convinced of one thing, that no pie would fall from the sky. This was true before, it will be true afterwards, and it will certainly remain true now.
Even if he, Ning Cheng, wanted to possess the greatest power and attain the supreme dao, it would come through his own efforts, and definitely not through this way.
“Ka-ching ……” Ning Cheng’s leg bones broke, even if he had the body strength of a Star River Body, they still broke. The pressure was too terrifying and was getting stronger and stronger.
At this moment, even if the simple-minded worshiping voice was more powerful and compelling, it could not make Ning Cheng voluntarily worship. He was such a bonehead that if he was unwilling to do something, he would die, but he would not compromise.
Ning Cheng, who was forcing himself to resist the pressure, seemed to faintly hear a startled eek, and then the compulsion to worship disappeared without a trace, while an even more powerful force blasted over directly.
Ning Cheng’s Wuji Green Thunder City was sacrificed and that powerful force clashed together as if spring thunder exploded with a roar.
In just a few breaths of time, Ning Cheng’s Infinite Blue Thunder City’s shadow was blasted to smithereens. That powerful force blasted directly into Ning Cheng’s sea of consciousness, suppressing him to the point where he could not breathe.
Ning Cheng’s instantly understood that this was not true essence power, and likewise not star essence power. His Wuji Green Thunder City was controlled by astral yuan and divine sense, and it could not resist at all under this mysterious power.
He had seen this kind of power before, it was wish power.
Ning Cheng immediately recalled the jade seal he had obtained, the one with the Blue Yi True Kingdom on it, and a pale golden jade seal that he could not even recognise as some kind of flying bird.
When he had first obtained the jade seal and utilised its wish power, countless people were also pictured in his mind worshipping at the temples of the Blue Yi True Kingdom. The jade seal had received wish power because it had been worshipped. Later, the wish power in the jade seal was used up by him, but the jade seal stayed with him. Today, he met the wish power again, which was many times more powerful than the wish power in the jade seal.
“Boom ……” Only when Ning Cheng understood this, his sea of consciousness was blasted open and a large golden hand grabbed directly into his sea of consciousness. Without hesitation, it grabbed the Xuanhuang Pearl hidden deep within his sea of consciousness, and the Xuanhuang Pearl let out a buzzing sound as if there was no escape.
The violent external force rushed into Ning Cheng’s sea of consciousness, even if Ning Cheng was an astral sea of consciousness, he could not endure it at this time, and opened his mouth to spurt out an arrow of blood.
“b*stard ……” First, he wanted me to worship, and now he wanted to snatch my Xuanhuang Pearl, the anger in Ning Cheng’s heart exploded like three rivers and four seas.
