The Pixie Shadow Sacred Temple in Jiangzhou Star, the Heart Piercing Tower in seclusion after the Dao, that threatening voice from the Xuanhuang Sacred Temple, and the group of people who suddenly came over from Xuanhuang Starland ……
All of this gave Ning Cheng a sense of tension, and he even had a premonition that there would be a kind of great change in the entire starry sky. This tranquility in the starry sky seemed to be a kind of weirdness before this big change.
No matter what was about to happen, while it was still considered quiet, he must speed up his strength.
The first thing Ning Cheng did was to take out the transmission jade talisman to enter the Time Desolate Domain, he still had about thirty star veins on him, but he felt that after the Eternal Realm, it would be more cost effective to go to the Time Hall to cultivate. Not only was the star aura in the Time Temple more pure, it was also more suitable for cultivation. The cultivation resources he had on him could be utilised anytime and anywhere, there was no need to consume them now.
This was Ning Cheng’s fourth time entering the Time Desolate Domain, and he had long since become familiar with entering the Time Desolate Domain. In a short time Ning Cheng arrived at the triangular gate of the Time Temple, as soon as Ning Cheng arrived he knew that the Duan Gantai people had not yet arrived. It must be that this person, like him, should be in seclusion to impact the Eternal Realm.
A time wheel was blasted out and the triangular gate of the Time Hall opened again, Ning Cheng dodged inside and immediately began to set up the defensive formation.
Even though Ning Cheng was certain that even if Duan Gantai had three Time Eternal Hope Keys, he would not be able to open the Time Hall. However, Ning Cheng did not dare to take the risk, what if Duan Gantai opened it? He had to prepare his defences first.
After making all the preparations, Ning Cheng did not immediately cultivate, he took out the stone tablet that he had obtained in the Noetic Sect. He had been very busy before and had no time to refine this stone tablet, but now it was finally free.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense locked onto this stone tablet and began to refine it, and after just a few breaths, Ning Cheng knew that this stone tablet was simply an ordinary object. It was just that this kind of thing could not be refined, and its only function might be that the isolation effect was extremely powerful, making it impossible for his divine sense to penetrate it.
Ning Cheng blasted his fist on top of the stone tablet, which shattered and broke apart. After picking up the stone tablet fragment and looking at it, Ning Cheng was even more convinced that the stone tablet was only a material that isolated divine sense. On the contrary, one of the fragments with the words ‘No Phase’ written on it was still intact, and these two words looked very different, carrying a hint of an ancient dao rhythm.
After looking at it for half a day, Ning Cheng thought that these two words were merely written by a person with a very high cultivation level, and that there was nothing special about them. He raised his hand and flipped through the fragments of the stone tablet, and an ordinary book appeared in front of his eyes. This book should have been from the stone tablet, and when he had blasted the stone tablet earlier, this book had also fallen down.
Ning Cheng also did not expect that there was a book in this stone tablet. He picked up the book and flipped it over, and found that there were only seven sheets of paper in total, plus the book cover, and none of the seven sheets of paper had a single word on them. These papers were made of something unknown, and Ning Cheng’s divine sense could not even penetrate into them. Not only was his divine sense unable to penetrate, but his hands were also unable to tear through it.
The first feeling this book gave Ning Cheng was that it was very unusual, Ning Cheng’s divine sense fell on this book and he wanted to refine it. After a day had passed, Ning Cheng withdrew his divine sense. He could refine this book, but it would take a long time, and what he lacked most now was time, he could not waste it on refining a book.
Ning Cheng was sure that the most valuable thing about this stone monument of the Sapient Sect should be the wordless book that was hidden by the stone monument.
Putting this wordless seven-page book away, Ning Cheng let go of all thoughts and entered the Xuanhuang Pearl before concentrating on his closed-door cultivation.
It had to be said that the Hall of Time was really an excellent place to cultivate, the Xuanhuang Pearl was on the jade stone in the middle of the Hall of Time, and endless swirls of starry sky spiritual qi poured into the Xuanhuang Pearl in an endless stream.
Time flowed away without a sound, and Ning Cheng in the Xuanhuang Pearl absorbed the starry sky Yuan Spirit Qi freely and frantically, improving his cultivation level.
One year, two years ……
In the blink of an eye, Ning Cheng, who was immersed in his cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, realizing that he could no longer absorb the dense starry sky Yuan Spirit Qi.
Could it be that he had absorbed all the starry sky aura here? Ning Cheng was very puzzled as he swept his divine sense out and followed it out of the Xuanhuang Pearl.
His guess was correct, the starry sky aura here had indeed been absorbed by him. Not only had he absorbed it all, even the jade stone had become dull. Just as Ning Cheng landed on the jade stone, the jade stone began to crack.
Ning Cheng secretly said that it was a pity, if he was allowed to cultivate for some more time, he would have been able to advance to the middle stage of the Eternal Realm. Unfortunately, at this crucial time, the Starry Sky Spiritual Qi had been consumed by him.
The five years he spent in it had not only solidified his cultivation, but also allowed him to advance a great deal again, which had made Ning Cheng very satisfied.
He did not know what had happened to Duan Gantai and had not come to the Time Hall until now. Ning Cheng naturally did not bother with Duan Gantai as he eagerly left the Time Desolate Domain.
……
It had been almost two months since Ning Cheng returned to Jiangzhou Star, he did not go to Over Snow City, instead he reinforced the Great Star Protection Formation outside of Jiangzhou Star. The Star Protection Formation he had previously set up was at Star Grade 8, and was still so far from Star Grade 9.
Now that his formation dao level had risen, he naturally had to rearrange this star protection formation. Pieces of semi-premium dao weapons were implanted into the Star Protection Formation by Ning Cheng without half a heartbeat. Even the star veins, Ning Cheng had implanted more than ten of them.
This time, with Cang Caihe’s help, Ning Cheng was able to set up the formation much faster. If he hadn’t added another top-notch spirit gathering formation into this Star Protection Grand Formation, he would have finished this Star Protection Grand Formation long ago. Even so, in two months’ time, the formation was about to be completed.
“Sovereign, I really admire you so much, not only do your cultivation and alchemy make me incredulous, but even your level of Dao proof is so powerful. If I wasn’t here to help, I wouldn’t believe that this Great Star Protection Formation was set up by one person.” Cang Caihe was the first to sigh with admiration after the Great Star Protection Formation had been set up.
Ning Cheng smiled and just as he wanted to speak, he sensed that one of his divine Thought jade tokens had been crushed. His Divine Thought Jade Tablet was only given to Cang Caihe, Ning Ruolan, Ji Luofei and Shui Wushang.
The one who crushed the divine Numinous Jade Tablet was Shui Wushang. Ning Cheng had left the divine Numinous Jade Tablet for Shui Wushang for the Wood Origin Pearl. Now that Shui Wushang had crushed the divine Numinous Jade Tablet, could it be that there was news of the Wood Origin Pearl?
Originally, Ning Cheng had wanted to invite Ning Ruocheng to go to the Palace of Shadows after setting up the Star Protection Formation, but now that Shui Wushang had crushed the Divine Thought Jade Tablet, he naturally had to go to the Demon Domain. To him, the news of the Wood Origin Pearl was the most important thing.
“Brother Cang, I have to leave the Jiangzhou Star for another trip, so I’m still bothering Brother Cang here.” Ning Cheng was embarrassed, after he had established the Xuanhuang Sect, he was basically away from the Jiangzhou Star during the week. Most of the matters of Jiangzhou Star were being taken care of by Gong Xiu Zhu and the others, while the safety and security were basically being sat by Cang Cai He.
Cang Caihe laughed, “Sovereign, to be honest, I am very satisfied with Jiangzhou Star. Staying here is much more comfortable than my wandering through the stars. After so many years of wandering, I have long since grown tired of it.”
Ning Cheng knew that Cang Caihe was being polite, even if Cang Caihe liked staying here, he was not so much as to wander the stars. With a Starry Sky Grade 9 Dan Emperor like Cang Caihe, anywhere he went, he would be an existence that others would respect with respect. Even the Penetrating Heart Building had to be polite to Cang Caihe, so how could he possibly wander the stars?
Since they were all from the same clan, Ning Cheng no longer said polite things, he took out three jade bottles and handed them to Cang Caihe and said, “Brother Cang, here are three pills, if you see a suitable successor, you can send one to him.”
Cang Caihe himself was the First Dan Emperor and naturally did not think much of pills. However, Ning Cheng was the Patriarch, and he politely accepted the pills that Ning Cheng handed to him. When his divine sense landed inside the jade bottle, he almost screamed out in shock.
“Sovereign, this ……” Cang Caihe said in disbelief as he held the jade bottle.
He indeed couldn’t believe it because it was three Eternal Emperor Returning Pills, and it was still two top grade Eternal Emperor Returning Pills and one special grade Eternal Emperor Returning Pill.
It wasn’t like he had never seen an Eternal Emperor Restoring Pill before, he had even refined such pills himself. The reason why he was shocked was because he had not refined a superior Eternal Emperor Restoring Pill either, and the pills Ning Cheng had given him were not only two superior Eternal Emperor Restoring Pills, but also a superior one.
It was these three pills that were worth immeasurably more.
A starry sky had more than a dozen star rivers, and a star river had numerous planets, and a planet had countless cultivators. One could imagine how many cultivators there were in a starry sky, that was countless billions. Among such a large number of cultivators, how many Eternal Realm powerhouses would come out?
There are only two Eternal Realm powerhouses in the Manlun Sky, the Manlun Emperor and Tang Yi. From this, one could see how difficult it was to advance to the Eternal Realm, and how precious the pills to advance to the Eternal Realm were. Even if Cang Caihe was a Starry Sky Grade Nine Dan Emperor, he couldn’t help but be shocked as he held three high-quality Eternal Emperor Returning Pills in his hands.
“Brother Cang, I refined these, but it’s a pity that I only obtained a single Starry Sky Root Chi, otherwise, I would have been able to refine a few more furnaces out of them. These three Emperor’s Return Pills, Brother Cang will see to it that they are distributed. As long as they are dedicated to the Xuanhuang Sect and are not of bad character.” Ning Cheng said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, Sovereign, I will keep an eye on them.” Cang Caihe put away the jade bottle and said cautiously to Ning Cheng. What he cared more about was Ning Cheng’s level of alchemy, to be able to refine a superior Eternal Emperor Return Pill, could it be simple? He also knew that now was not the time to talk about the Dao of Dan with Ning Cheng, when Ning Cheng returned again, he would definitely have to discuss the Dao of Dan with Ning Cheng.
……
When Ning Cheng was about to arrive at the Frothy Silence Star Continent, he realised that the place where Shui Wushang was waiting for him was not on the Frothy Silence Star Continent, but outside of it.
The Starry Sky Wheel had long been completely refined by Ning Cheng, and Ning Cheng quickly found Shui Wushang, who had been waiting outside the Starry Sky for several days.
When Shui Wushuang saw Ning Cheng standing on the deck of the Starry Sky Wheel from afar, he sighed with relief.
“Fairy Wushang, you crushed the jade token to find me, did you have news of the Wood Origin Pearl?” Ning Cheng put away the Starry Sky Wheel and asked impatiently.
His Xuanhuang Pearl was only missing the Wood Origin Pearl, and as his cultivation level increased, the more danger he felt, the more he wanted to find the Wood Origin Pearl in his heart.
Shui Wu Shang nodded, “Yes, apart from the news of the Wood Origin Pearl, there is another thing.”
When Ning Cheng heard that it was really the news of the Wood Origin Pearl, his heart was instantly wild with joy. As for the other thing Shui Wushang said, he did not even pay attention to it and opened his mouth to ask eagerly, “Fairy Wushang, is the Wood Origin Pearl also going to appear at the Cang Pagoda Auction?”
Shui Wushuang said with a sigh, “It was originally like this, but before the auction, the Wood Origin Pearl was suddenly snatched away by someone. The Cang Pagoda Auction’s Guild Master Yi Cang and Vice Guild Master Zeng Ta Jiang were both killed, and I escaped because of my low cultivation level and my absence from the Cang Pagoda Chamber of Commerce, as well as the fact that several Great Emperors came to the Returned Capital Star City at the same time.”
“What?” Even Ning Cheng was shocked by Shui Wushang’s words, how dare someone go and rob the auction? Even the Penetrating Heart Building after the Dao was witnessed wouldn’t dare to do that, right?
