“The Piercing Heart Tower should have known that the Earth Origin Pearl was taken by me, so they just wanted to stir up hatred against me. I took the Jiangzhou Star without Brother Man Lun’s consent, if it was a normal Great Emperor, I’m afraid I would have already fallen out with me. Brother Man Lun is so generous, I, Ning Cheng, owe Brother Man Lun a great favour.” Ning Cheng said with great sincerity.
A normal Starry Sky Emperor would indeed flip out and fight if he took a planet in his territory. Ning Cheng was grateful for Man Lun’s attitude. If Man Lun had come hard, he would not have cared at all. But the fact that Man Lun the Great was so open-minded instead made him feel overwhelmed.
Man Lun said with a straight face, “Brother Ning, I truly want to give you the Kun Zhuo Xinghe.”
Ning Cheng smiled, “Brother Man Lun, I have enough for one Jiang Zhou Star. You also know that I don’t have any interest in managing a river of stars. If I have that kind of time, I might as well use it to cultivate.”
Man Lun shook his head, “Brother Ning, you are a Dan Emperor, and the Vice Patriarch is also the number one Dan King in the starry sky. In the future, there will be many Heavenly Realm powerhouses in the Jiangzhou Star, and one star river is not much for you. You don’t need to manage it, you can leave it to the people within the clan. A large clan cannot survive on one planet.”
Ning Cheng’s heart twitched, what Great Emperor Man Lun said was good. /He was a Dan Emperor and had many heaven-defying pills, and in the future, the Xuanhuang Sect would definitely produce many Heavenly Realm powerhouses. Having a river of stars naturally had much more potential for development than a planet.
“Then, thank you very much, Brother Man Lun, if Brother Man Lun needs any help from Mister Ning. I will definitely do my best.” Ning Cheng stood up and thanked him.
He knew that although Great Emperor Man Lun was bullish on befriending him. But to put out such heavy benefits. There was definitely something to be desired.
Seeing that Ning Cheng was so understanding, Great Emperor Man Lun was in a good mood and no longer hid anything, “Brother Ning, the strength of the Man Lun Starry Sky can be said to be the least powerful in the entire Middle Heaven Great Starry Sky. As Brother Ning can see, that Long Sky Dock is a mere dock master, so he can not look at me in the eye.”
Ning Cheng nodded his head to show that he understood. It was reasonable to say that a Starry Sky Emperor, Emperor Man Lun, must have a higher status than Over Three Qian. In fact, Over Three Qian did not look at Great Emperor Man Lun in his eyes at all, and if he said that there was no support from the Piercing Heart Building behind this, Ning Cheng definitely did not believe it.
“I believe that Brother Ning should be able to guess that there is the support of the Heart Piercing Tower Emperor Mountain behind Long Sky Dock, so in the future, Brother Ning must be careful when he goes to Long Sky Dock.” Great Emperor Man Lun said cautiously.
“I know.” Even if Great Emperor Man Lun did not say so, Ning Cheng would only go to Long Sky Dock after he had advanced to the Eternal Realm. However, if Over Three Qian dared to find his way to Jiangzhou Star, then don’t blame him for not being polite.
The Man Lun Emperor sighed and said, “My Man Lun Starry Sky was originally lacking in resources, and the only place that is famous is the Time Desolate Domain. It’s just that the Time Barren Domain takes a long time to open. There are also restrictions on cultivation levels, so even though others covet it, they can only secretly send people to participate. They could only secretly send people to participate, and would not blatantly go to the Time Desolate Domain. But now it’s different ……”
“What’s going on?” Ning Cheng asked in surprise.
Man Lun said in a hateful voice, “I don’t know which b*stard put out the rumor that the Time Hall is in the Time Desolate Domain, and that all three Time Eternal Hope Keys have been released, and that the Time Hall is about to open. What is the Hall of Time? It was the place where the Saint Emperor of Eternal Hope had hidden his treasures, a place where one could comprehend the laws of time. Who wouldn’t covet such a place?”
“The Hall of Time is in the Time Desolate Domain?” Ning Cheng said in surprise, he had the jade slip given by Duan Gantai, he didn’t bother to unlock the ban. Even if he had unlocked it anyway, he would need Duan Gantai’s cooperation to open the Time Temple, and it would be useless for him to go alone. Now that he heard Man Lun talk about it, this made him feel a bit odd.
Ning Cheng quickly understood that this was definitely put out by Duan Gantai, and this wasn’t even a rumour, this was the real thing. Duan Gantai had put out this rumour because he was somewhat dissatisfied with himself for not contacting him for a long time. So he had put out the real place of the Time Temple, this was to remind him, Ning Cheng, to go to the Time Temple early and rendezvous with him on business.
Man Lun nodded, “The rumour is indeed true.”
“Is Brother Man Lun worried that the Piercing Heart Tower will receive the Time Hall into the Great Midheaven Starry Sky and no longer belong to the Man Lun Starry Sky?” Ning Cheng asked.
Man Lun said with certainty, “It’s a nail in the coffin, with the Wearing Heart Tower’s pissiness, how could he let the Time Hall be under my control? He won’t come out on his own yet, he will find the rest of the people to come out and provoke me. For example, the Dock Master of the Long Sky Dock, or another Eternal Power. Once I am provoked, or even taken out, then the Star Emperors of the Manlun Starry Sky will completely change hands.”
Ning Cheng fell silent, he believed that the Man Lun Emperor’s speculation was correct, and also had a valid point. The Piercing Heart Tower was in fact this kind of urbane person.
Man Lun’s tone was even more irritated as he said, “This is not what is really threatening me, what is really threatening my Man Lun Starry Sky is another rumour that all of the Four Heavens and Three Great Halls are in my Man Lun Starry Sky.”
“The Four Heavens Three Great Halls?”
“That’s right, it’s the four Great Star Spaces that have three of the most mysterious halls. These three halls are the Hall of Time, the Hall of the Watching God, and the Hall of the Shadow of the Shadow ……”
Man Lun’s words were interrupted by Ning Cheng, “The Hall of Spectral Shadows?”
Man Lun nodded, “That’s right, it’s the Hall of Spectral Shadows, you should know that by now. This rumor is actually true, the Phantom Shadow Hall has already appeared outside of Over Snow City, so it is evident that sooner or later that Watchtower Hall will also come out. The Piercing Heart Tower wants me to submit to him and send out the Man Lun Star. He should have thought of the fact that all three great halls were in the Man Lun Starry Sky, and that the Man Lun Starry Sky was quite extraordinary. I guess he wanted to take the Man Lun Starry Sky into his own hands and then slowly search for the secrets within it. He didn’t expect that I would choose to compromise at all, instead choosing to work with you, so he didn’t mention the Phantom Shadow Temple today.”
Ning Cheng sucked in a breath, he finally understood why Great Emperor Man Lun was so generous. However, Ning Cheng did not care, if it was him, with such a huge difference in strength, he would definitely have to pull an ally as well.
“Brother Man Lun, don’t worry, even if the Piercing Heart Tower is strong, it doesn’t have the ability to forcibly drive you and me away. Nowadays, Man Lun Starry Sky, together with my Kun Zhuo Starry River, also has four Starry Sky Emperors, how can we be afraid of him.” Ning Cheng said without hesitation, he had already looked at the Heart Piercing Tower unfavourably.
Man Lun said joyfully, “Good, I was waiting for these words from Brother Ning. I was only afraid that the Heart Piercing Tower would join forces with Yi Jiufeng, in which case we would be at a disadvantage. The good thing is that Cang Cai and the Vice Patriarch have become our people, which is a shockingly great joy.”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “The Piercing Heart Tower doesn’t dare to unite with Yi Jiufeng, he is afraid that we will find the Demon Heaven Great Starry Sky and the Demon Heaven Great Starry Sky. The matter in the Midheaven Great Starry Sky is bound to be resolved within the Midheaven Great Starry Sky. Thanks to Brother Man Lun’s kindness, from now on, my Kun Zhuo Star River will be renamed Xuanhuang Star River.”
“Xuanhuang Xinghe, Xuanhuang Clan, good, good.” Great Emperor Man Lun was also happy to have pulled together such a powerful ally as Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng took out a jade slip and gave it to Great Emperor Man Lun and said, “Brother Man Lun, this is my body refining technique. I have received a Star River from Brother Man Lun, so this body refining technique will be given to Brother Man Lun. In the future, when I enter the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall, I will definitely invite Brother Man Lun to enter with me.”
Great Emperor Man Lun was lacking the Body Technique, so Ning Cheng gave it to him. Coupled with the fact that Ning Cheng had said that he could enter the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall, he was immediately overjoyed.
He collected Ning Cheng’s Body Refining Technique and also took out several Time Stones and handed them to Ning Cheng, saying, “Brother Ning, these Time Stones are for you. In case the Time Hall opens in the future, it would be good to feel some skin of the Time Laws first.”
Ning Cheng had a large pile of Time Stones on him and did not need these Time Stones at all. He was about to put it off when his eyes suddenly stared at one of the time stones and frowned.
As Great Emperor Man Lun was puzzled, Ning Cheng took out a time stone the size of a dragon’s eye from among the several time stones of Great Emperor Man Lun and looked at it for a long time before asking, “Brother Man Lun, who gave you this time stone?”
Ning Cheng recognized this time stone as soon as he saw it, and after he purposely held it in his hand and sensed it for a while, he confirmed it even more. Although most of the time stones were dark grey in colour, there were still subtle differences in the colour of each time stone.
When Ning Cheng saw this Time Stone, he felt that it was exactly the same as the first Time Stone that Shen Qin Yu had picked up back then. When he picked up this time stone, it was even more confirmed. This time stone was the first time stone that Shen Qingyu had picked up back then. It was only logical that Shen Qin Yu’s time stone would not be given to the Man Lun Emperor, so why did it appear in the hands of the Man Lun Emperor?
Man Lun did not want to have a half-hearted gap with Ning Cheng at this time, and seeing that Ning Cheng’s words were somewhat serious, he immediately explained, “This was handed over by a female cultivator called Shen Qin Yu, and after she arrived in the Central Heaven, she deliberately found me. Then handed over ten time stones, she wanted to make another trip into the Time Desolate Domain. It said that her most important person was left behind in the Time Desolate Domain, and she wanted to go in to find it.”
“But isn’t the Time Desolate Domain closed? Even if we were to go in, we would have to wait until the next time it opens, right?” Ning Cheng asked, puzzled.
Shen Qin Yu had clearly come out, so why did he have to go in?
Man Lun, who was so shrewd, could not know that there was a relationship between Ning Cheng and Shen Qin Yu, and he hurriedly said, “Shen Qin Yu taking out ten Time Stones all by himself did subdue me. You know that the first place winner who entered the Time Desolate Domain before, Cen Fei, had only received four of them. Because she said she was from Yu’s Horned City in the Central Heavenly Star Continent, I forgave her once and even sent her to enter the Time Desolate Domain again.”
This was also Man Lun’s sadness, Yu Clan Horned City was honestly not a big clan at all. Yet he still had to be scornful just because Yu Clan Horned City was in the Midheaven Star Continent.
“Brother Man Lun can let people enter the Time Desolate Domain again?” Ning Cheng was truly stunned.
Great Emperor Man Lun said regretfully, “I also only have ten teleportation talismans to get in when the Time Desolate Domain is closed. When these ten teleportation talismans are used up, there is nothing I can do even for me.”
Ning Cheng said with a clasp of his fist, “Brother Man Lun, I would like to enter the Time Desolate Domain once now. That Shen Qin Yu went in to look for me, I can’t give up regardless.”
“Brother Ning, this ……” Man Lun hesitated for a moment before saying, “After you go in, you will never be able to get out.”
