Ou Zhenkong was a little anxious on the side, but even though he was anxious, he didn’t dare to interrupt Ning Cheng’s words.
Luckily, after Ning Cheng handed the pills to Valen and Yu Wanxue, he raised his hand and slapped Ou Zhenkong on the brow, so Ou Zhenkong did not even have the chance to stop him. On the other side, Ou Xingjian’s face even turned pale, but he did not dare to make a move to stop him.
Once Ning Cheng’s palm left Ou Zhenkong’s brow, Ou Zhenkong bowed to Ning Cheng with a surprised look on his face, “Thank you senior for removing the ban for junior.”
Hearing Ou Zhenkong’s words, Ou Xingjian also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed in thanks as well. It was a little too difficult for a family such as theirs to produce a strong person of the Heavenly Realm. If Ou Zhenkong fell, it would definitely be a big blow to the Ou family.
Ning Cheng nodded and asked Valen who was on the side, “You guys should have gone to the City Ruo Lan Weaponry Refining Shop, right? Have you seen Sword Pepper?”
Valen shook his head, “That’s where we waited at the City Ruo Lan Refining Shop, I’ve heard of Senior Brother Jian Jiao, it’s just that when we came, Senior Brother Jian Jiao hadn’t even returned.”
Ning Cheng immediately frowned, according to what the fellow who was familiar with Jian Jiao had said, Jian Jiao should have returned long ago. If he hadn’t come back by now, then it was likely that something had happened.
“You guys go back to close up and cultivate first, I also need to close up for a while.” Ning Cheng knew that something might have happened to Jian Jiao and was a little worried, so he wanted to go over and take a look.
Ning Ruolan also knew that she had to increase@ her cultivation speed, and now that her brother was fine, she was the first to go back to continue her seclusion. Valen and Yu Wanxue had long wanted to go to the Heavenly Position Realm, and now that they had Ning Cheng’s orders, they hurriedly said goodbye.
After Ou Zhenkong and the others had said their farewells one after another. Only then did Ning Cheng ask. “Patriarch Cang. I heard that a cultivator called Duan Gantai had come here?”
Cang Caihe said with a grave expression on his face, “Yes, I was about to mention this matter to the Sovereign. This Duan Gantai and I met and had a vague confrontation. This man seems to have only entered the Life and Death realm, but his strength is incredible. Even though he did not use his full strength, I could see that this man has great potential. He is looking for you, Sovereign, and Sovereign must be careful, this man does not seem to be that easy to deal with.”
Ning Cheng secretly praised in his heart. Cang Caihe was one of the Three Great Scattered Cultivators and the First Dan Emperor, there were really no words to say about this vision. If Duan Gantai was easy to deal with, he wouldn’t have had to try to work with him even today.
“Sovereign Cang, I’m going to close up for a while, then I’m going to make a trip to the Bone Devouring Sea, and then to the Central Heavenly Star Continent. I’ll have to ask Patriarch Cang for help with the Jiangzhou Star and the Xuanhuang Star River.” Ning Cheng said somewhat apologetically, after the establishment of the sect, he had rarely been in charge of affairs. Cang Caihe originally didn’t like to meddle in these matters either. Now he was pulled by him to have to manage them.
Ning Cheng really did not have the time to stay in Snow Covered City to manage the affairs of the sect, he had too many things that needed to be done.
Going to the Bone Devouring Sea was for the Violet Light Treasure Eye. His Star River Flame was still only at the second level of Nirvana, and if he wanted to improve his strength, his flame had to be raised at a faster pace. In the jade slip that the Wu Hong Starry Sky Emperor had given him at the beginning, it said that the Violet Light Treasure Mear was obtained from the Bone Devouring Sea.
Emperor Wu Hong was a very good person, but unfortunately, under the circumstances at that time, Ning Cheng was simply too late to offer help. Otherwise, Ning Cheng would have stepped in to save him.
……
This was already the fifth month since Ning Cheng had come out of the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall, Ning Cheng once again left the sect affairs to Cang Caihe and left the Jiangzhou Star. He had left behind a talisman for Cang Caihe, a talisman that had a trace of his divine thoughts stored in it, no matter where he was, as long as Cang Caihe crushed the talisman, he would be able to sense it.
During the five months of seclusion at the Xuanhuang Sect, Ning Cheng had not only forced the Yin Cold out of his body, but also solidified his Sea of Consciousness. His Sea of Consciousness had once again expanded by a level and his divine sense had surged, so he had to take the time to stabilise it. Finally, that Infinite Gourd was also refined by Ning Cheng.
After the Limitless Gourd was refined, Ning Cheng had no idea how powerful this gourd was. This was because this gourd did not have any attacks, nor did it have any defensive effects. Based on the information Ning Cheng had refined, the only function of this gourd was to store things.
Ning Cheng really couldn’t figure out that such a gourd would be put together with a Heaven Opening Talisman sub talisman or even a Dao fruit.
After experiencing the dangers of the Hall of Shadows, Ning Cheng now also had some doubts that the five golden chests were intentionally put there by that fellow behind the Naive Bridge. The contents of the five chests were that fellow’s, and his purpose was to pretend to be mysterious and then attract strong people to leap down from the Five Cornered Hall.
To be honest, Ning Cheng did not hesitate to jump down at that time. It was also because it was the same as the rest of the Starry Sky Emperors’ thoughts, that is, even the Five Cornered Great Hall had so many good treasures, the treasures below must be even more. Who knew that after jumping down, it was a pit that would kill him.
……
In any case, Ning Cheng would not return to the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall until he was strong enough, and at this time he had already arrived at the Cebuano Star River.
Strictly speaking, the Bone Devouring Sea did not belong to the Custodian Star River.
Originally, there was an uninhabited planet in the starry sky near the Cebuana Star River, because there were all sorts of poisonous miasma fogs on this planet, plus the fact that the starry sky here was thin with Yuan Qi, it was simply not suitable for cultivators to survive.
However, the cultivation resources in the starry sky were limited, and when some casual cultivators were unable to find cultivation resources, there were people who looked for the planet even if it was not suitable for survival.
This uninhabited planet had some casual cultivators going in to look for it as well, and this is how the Bone Devouring Sea was discovered.
The Bone Devouring Sea is at the centre of this planet, and it can be said that this uninhabited planet, apart from some land around it, is all sea, and this sea is the Bone Devouring Sea.
A slightly larger planet, even an Eternal Realm powerhouse’s divine sense would not be able to sweep through it. This planet where the Bone Devouring Sea is located is even several times larger than an ordinary planet, and naturally, no one would be able to sweep through such a large planet.
After discovering the Bone Devouring Sea, many cultivators found all kinds of heavenly treasures in the Bone Devouring Sea one after another. There were even many Eternal Realm powerhouses who would go to the Bone Devouring Sea in search of cultivation resources.
The Bone Devouring Sea was full of good things, but it was equally very dangerous. Half of the cultivators who enter the Bone Devouring Sea come back, and most of them disappear without a trace after entering the Bone Devouring Sea. Bones often emerge from the beaches of the Bone Devouring Sea, hence the name Bone Devouring Sea.
Over time, the planet on which the Bone Devouring Sea is located has also been called the Bone Devouring Star.
Ning Cheng thought that in a place as dangerous as the Bone Devouring Sea, there would definitely not be many people. But it was only when he arrived at the Bone Devouring Sea that he realised how outrageous his thoughts had been. It was not that there were very few people here, but there were so many that it was almost like a prosperous star city.
In a place at the edge of the Bone Devouring Sea, a makeshift city had long been set up. There were constantly cultivators coming here to trade, and there were also constantly cultivators forming groups here to enter the Bone Devouring Sea.
“Kid, stealing something from my old man and still wanting to walk away, don’t dream ……” Ning Cheng was about to purchase a Bone Devouring Sea map jade slip when a familiar figure appeared in Ning Cheng’s divine sense, and then Ning Cheng pounced on the voice of this person speaking.
Both the figure and the voice were familiar to Ning Cheng, he knew this person, to be precise he knew this Starry Sky Beggar.
There were many people who dressed up as vagabonds or dressed up as adventurers in the starry sky, not many dressed up as beggars. And this guy liked to dress up as a beggar and wander around. Ning Cheng had almost fallen into his path back then, but fortunately Ning Cheng was more sensible and took advantage of this old beggar once.
Seeing the old beggar blast a man and a woman to the ground with a slap, Ning Cheng immediately flew over.
“Huh, kid, I was looking for you, but I didn’t expect you to come to my door of your own accord. When my old man instructed you to go to the Jingnan Star River, why didn’t you go? Don’t be in a hurry, after I’ve cleaned up these two little things, my old man will come back to settle the score with you.”
After the old beggar saw Ning Cheng, his eyes revealed joy. At first, he wanted to leave his mark on Ning Cheng, but he did not expect to be counted out by Ning Cheng instead. It was just that he was too lazy to look for Ning Cheng, but he never thought that he would actually meet Ning Cheng in this place.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly and did not say anything, nor did he leave. This old beggar was the Star River King of the Jingnan Star River, back when he first saw the King of the Jingnan Star River, he was still a Numinous Star Gryphon, his cultivation level was a hundred thousand miles different from the King of the Jingnan Star River. And when they met again this time, he was already a Life and Death realm powerhouse, while the King of the Jingnan Star River was still at the Heavenly Position realm.
If he was a mole in front of King Jingnan Xinghe at that time, then King Jingnan Xinghe was a mole in front of him now.
The world is unpredictable, and who would have thought that in a short period of time, strength and weakness would change places? King Jingnan Star River was still a pawn under the Great Man Lun, while he and Man Lun had long since called each other brother and sister.
Seeing Ning Cheng waiting on the side, King Jing Nan Xinghe was somewhat satisfied in his heart. He stared at the man and woman who had been nullified by a slap in front of him and said, “Two mole crickets, how dare you steal from this king, tell me your names?”
Ning Cheng secretly disdained in his heart, this man and woman were only at Nian Xing cultivation level, Ning Cheng definitely did not believe that two Nian Xing cultivators would go and steal from a Star River King without knowing their lives. It was overwhelmingly likely that the Jing Nan Star River King had taken a fancy to the items on these two Nian Xing cultivators and then found an excuse to snatch them away.
Ning Cheng couldn’t be clearer about what kind of fellow the Jingnan Star River King was. Back then, if that middle-aged scribe hadn’t been around, the King of Jingnan Star River might have taken him away right then and there, and definitely wouldn’t have wasted an image card.
“Junior Lei Junfeng, this is junior’s daoist couple, Bei Xialan.” Despite the fact that the Shattered Star male cultivator’s cultivation had all been nullified by King Jing Nan Xinghe, he still spoke back in a respectful whisper, his tone not half resentful. The people beside him could even hear genuine deference in his tone.
Ning Cheng secretly admired this fellow in his heart, this fellow would definitely be a formidable character in the future if he hadn’t stumbled upon King Jing Nan Xinghe being dethroned.
Wait, when Ning Cheng thought of this, he suddenly felt that the names Lei Junfeng and Bei Xialan were somewhat familiar.
Just then Lei Junfeng continued, “Senior, junior was blind and saw senior’s glazed painting scroll with a coveted heart.”
As he spoke, Lei Junfeng fell to his knees and held up a painting with both hands.
Ning Cheng’s face changed when he saw the glazed painting scroll, he finally remembered who Lei Junfeng was.
