“Master, this place is so beautiful.” Chasing Ox said as he looked foolishly at the distant Xinlou Di Mountain.
“It’s indeed beautiful.” Ning Cheng likewise praised. It was also the first time he had been to the Heart Tower Imperial Mountain, and this place could be described as a true fairy land. The green mountains were verdant and green, the pavilions stretched out, and the dense star elements had all formed a mist that lingered between the mountains.
Coloured clouds and all sorts of beautiful rare flying birds made it impossible to believe that this was still the Zetian Starry Sky City.
In fact, the Heart Tower Emperor Mountain is really still in the Zuotian Starry Sky City, but the Zuotian Starry Sky City is divided into two pieces, one being the Zuotian Starry Sky City and the other being the Heart Tower Emperor Mountain.
The two pieces were separated by a forbidden system and were very distinct. Normally the forbidden system here is closed and no one can approach the Heart Tower Emperor Mountain. In fact, even if the forbidden system here was open, it was not something that ordinary people could enter. The invitation that Great Emperor Man Lun had left for Ning Cheng was an opening formation flag to enter the forbidden system. According to what was written on the invitation, each invitation could bring one person in, so it was feasible for Ning Cheng to bring Chasing Ox with him.
Ning Cheng was about to enter the forbidden system of the Heart Tower Emperor Mountain with the invitation card when his divine sense saw Great Emperor Man Lun and the middle-aged beautiful woman coming from afar, so he simply stopped. The invitation had been sent over by Great Emperor Man Lun, who had visited him, and since he had met them, he naturally could not fail to greet them.
Great Emperor Man Lun also saw Ning Cheng waiting and immediately quickened his pace, and before he could reach Ning Cheng, he laughed from afar, “Fellow Daoist Ning, I was worried that you were still in seclusion, but I didn’t expect to meet you here! What a fortunate thing to meet you here.”
“Greetings senior Ning.” The middle-aged beautiful woman called Xu Gu hurriedly went forward to greet him.
Ning Cheng also said with a clasp of his fist, “Many thanks to the Great Emperor for going to my small place, Ning Cheng really does not know where the Great Emperor lives. Otherwise, I would definitely visit my door to thank you.”
“Fellow Daoist Ning. Why don’t you just call me Man Lun. Calling me Great Emperor would avoid being rude. You and I both come from the Manlun Star, so we are all family members. I am also to blame for being rude and not inviting Daoist Fellow Ning to my cave when I was in Tianji City. This time, when I learnt that Daoist Fellow Ning had come to Zu Tian Star City, I immediately went to pay a visit. Unfortunately, you were in seclusion when I went, otherwise I could have had a chat with you a few days earlier.” Great Emperor Man Lun said with an extremely polite smile.
Ning Cheng’s cultivation level looked surprisingly vague to him, which meant that Xu Gu had not made a nonsense statement. It was likely that Ning Cheng was an eternal powerhouse. Speaking about Tianji City was naturally a way to test Ning Cheng.
Knowing that Man Lun was pulling his strings, Ning Cheng simply said, “Since Brother Man Lun said so, then I will not be polite. Last time, this stupid cow of mine didn’t neglect Brother Man Lun, right, I chided it then as to why it didn’t call me out.”
Ning Cheng’s words were naturally polite, if Chasing Ox had really called him out of the gate for such a matter, it would really be a stupid ox and would definitely be given a lecture by him. As for the Man Lun Emperor’s temptation, he directly pretended not to hear it.
“No. No, Brother Ning please. I was invited by the Heart Tower Grand Emperor this time. There are many powerful people coming over, and I’ve heard that this time, Yi Jiufeng of the Nine Phoenix Palace in the Divine Sky Grand Astral Plane will also be coming over.” Grand Emperor Man Lun said with an extremely warm hand. His previous remark was intended to ask about Ning Cheng’s origins, but since Ning Cheng did not say anything, he could not continue to pursue the matter.
The few people had just entered the forbidden system of the Heart Tower Emperor Mountain when a welcoming boy came over and introduced Ning Cheng and the three of them into the guest hall of the Heart Tower Emperor Mountain.
Many cultivators had already come to the Guest Hall, and Ning Cheng scanned the area, and those who came here were generally strong people above the Life and Death realm. However, most of them had brought one or two followers with them, the cultivation levels of these followers were all very low, so they must have followed their elders out to see the world.
There was really no one like Ning Cheng, who had brought a bull directly with him.
As soon as Great Emperor Man Lun entered, a familiar cultivator greeted him from afar. Emperor Man Lun bade Ning Cheng farewell and took the initiative to go forward and greet those cultivators.
As for Ning Cheng, they all thought that he was a junior of Man Lun Da Di, and no one cared. If there were two invitations, it would be normal to bring three followers.
Ning Cheng reached out and patted Chasing Ox’s head, “You go into the ring, there are no ones here with beast pets coming over, you alone look a bit abrupt.”
“Master, don’t you see that man has brought a one-horned Thunderbolt Panther with him, he is even riding on it.” Chasing Ox really didn’t want to go and stay inside the ring, and there was all sorts of fine wine to drink before this spiritual fruit banquet had even started. What was the point of going to the ring and staying with those few little bees.
When Chasing Ox said that, Ning Cheng also saw that there was indeed a white-haired Eternal Realm cultivator riding in on a one-horned Thunderbolt Panther. Moreover, this white-haired cultivator was also a late Eternal Realm powerhouse, much higher in strength than Ning Cheng.
“In that case, don’t talk nonsense, just stay here.” Ning Cheng was still not quite at ease as he admonished.
“Huh, Senior Brother Ning, why are you here?” A familiar startled voice came, and then Ning Cheng saw Tang Yu who had hurriedly come over.
It did not surprise Ning Cheng that Tang Yu was able to come over. Her old man Tang Yi was an Eternal Realm powerhouse in the Man Lun Starry Sky, so it was not surprising that he had gotten an invitation.
“I’m following along and getting glory, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, your cultivation has progressed quickly.” Ning Cheng said with a smile.
Tang Yu’s cultivation had indeed progressed quite a lot, all of them were at the Immortal Realm. I guess with some more time to settle down, it wouldn’t be too long to advance to the Heavenly Fate Realm. It was still good to have a backer, Tang Yu’s old man was at the Eternal Realm, so naturally Tang Yu had no worries about cultivation resources.
“Your cultivation progress should be good too, by the way, you haven’t told me how you were able to come here?” Tang Yu was puzzled by this question, it was normal for her old man, who was an Eternal Realm powerhouse to bring her here. She knew that Ning Cheng was just a small cultivator with no backing, so it was really strange that he could come here.
“Senior Sister Yu, who is this?” Another voice came over, interrupting Tang Yu’s question.
Tang Yu hurriedly said, “Senior Brother Xiao Yu, this is Senior Brother Ning Cheng, who comes from the Man Lun Star Continent with me. We haven’t met for a long time, I didn’t expect to meet in the Heart Tower Emperor Mountain.”
After saying that, Tang Yu introduced Ning Cheng, “Senior Brother Ning, this is Senior Brother Xiao Yu of the Spiritual Sky Sect, his qualifications are unparalleled.”
Xiao Yu smiled and was about to say a few polite words, but Ning Cheng remembered this Xiao Yu and immediately said, “I remember, you are the number one ranked in the Star Peeping Tower ……”
Ning Cheng’s words stopped, Xiao Yu’s number one ranking should have been refreshed by him by now, it was just that he had not been putting his ranking to heart, so he did not care. It seemed a bit inappropriate to say that people were first again. But this guy was really handsome, an absolutely handsome guy.
And this guy’s qualifications really weren’t bad either, last time he had even heard from Zi Chejun that Xiao Yu had forcibly lowered his cultivation level to Gathering Star in order to enter Immortal Jade Star. Little did he know that when he saw this fellow again, this fellow was already at the late stage of the Heavenly Fate realm.
Sure enough, Xiao Yu’s face sank, he felt that Ning Cheng intended to mock him, but looking at Ning Cheng’s tone of voice it didn’t seem quite like it.
Tang Yu also felt that Ning Cheng’s words just now were somewhat inappropriate and hurriedly said with a smile, “Senior Brother Xiao Yu has since advanced to the Star Bridge Realm, so naturally he will not leave his name on the Star Peeping Tower’s formation display. The current number one in the Star Peeping Tower is a cultivator called Jiangzhou Wanderer, and his name has been on it since he entered the eighty-first floor. Senior Brother Ning, this cow of yours looks very well behaved.”
The last sentence was entirely Tang Yu’s way of sidetracking the topic, just to make it somewhat obvious.
“Hehehe, didn’t expect to meet me here, did you, haha ……” First there was a hehehe, and then a haha laughing voice, and a white-faced cultivator appeared in front of Ning Cheng in an instant.
“Over senior ……” Tang Yu and Xiao Yu both bowed in unison in greeting when they saw this white-faced cultivator come over.
Ning Cheng sneered in his heart, he was still planning to settle a score with this white-faced fellow, but this fellow had actually taken the initiative to come to his door. Back when he was cultivating in that hidden planet, someone had discovered the Xuanhuang aura and wanted to snatch his Xuanhuang beads, that person was this white-faced cultivator in front of him.
At that time, he only needed to be one to two breaths late and this guy would have gotten his hands on him. For Ning Cheng, it was like coming back from the dead. Once this fellow had gotten his hands on him, would he still have had a life at that time? Previously, he had thought that this fellow was amazing, but now it seemed that he was only about the same level of cultivation as Man Lun Starry Sky Emperor. He was even a little bit weaker than Man Lun, at most at the middle stage of the Eternal Realm.
“Senior Ning, this is the Dock Master of the Long Sky Dock, Senior San Qian Da Di over, hurry up and bow.” Seeing that Ning Cheng was not moving, Tang Yu was anxious.
This white-faced man waved his hand, “There is no need to bow, just tell me what your name is and who you came with?”
He believed that if he, a Starry Sky Emperor, was determined to bring this little cultivator back, there shouldn’t be any Starry Sky Emperors out to stop him yet. This time, he had to take Ning Cheng away even if he had to offend a Starry Sky Emperor, or even a few Starry Sky Emperors. He would be willing to pay any price he had to pay.
“I’ve come with Great Emperor Man Lun, what? Are you uncomfortable in your heart?” Ning Cheng said in a faint voice.
Tang Yu’s heart sank and he hurriedly backed up, taking a few steps to Tang Hall’s side and said anxiously, “Father, help that Senior Brother Ning Cheng, he has offended the Three Qian Emperors ……”
“What?” Tang Yi, who was talking to another Eternal Star Emperor, his face changed and he hurriedly pulled Tang Yu behind him, “Tang Yu, I told you, these are not ordinary people here, you are not allowed to wander off.”
As for Tang Yu’s comment about saving Ning Cheng, it was directly ignored by him. He didn’t care about Senior Brother Ning Cheng, offending the Three Qian Emperors would be seeking death, asking him to go against the Three Qian Emperors, he wasn’t stupid. Even if he tried to ask for a word of mercy, he would not be willing to do so.
Not to mention him, even the Man Lun Emperor did not dare to offend the Three Qian Emperors easily. Who didn’t know that the Long Sky Dock’s dockmaster, the Three Heavenly Emperors, was a ruthless man? Because the Long Sky Dock was located in the Midheaven Star Continent, the Three Qian Great Emperor had good friendships with many Eternal Star Emperors. It would be asking for trouble for them, an Eternal Realm cultivator who had come from far away to the stars, to seek trouble here.
Great Emperor Man Lun had already noticed the situation over here and took the initiative to walk over.
