After Ning Cheng followed the cultivators of the Seven Star Sacred Sect down from the airship treasure, he saw some familiar faces. The Second Prince and Ninth Prince of the Barbarian Dragon Clan were both there, and even Shan Yaozen was there. Empty Ning hadn’t come, presumably she was in seclusion preparing for her advancement.
Even though Barbarian Jiu Ren’s gaze did not look at Ning Cheng, his subtle divine sense was still pounced upon by Ning Cheng.
“Senior Sister Yan ……” Ning Cheng suddenly walked up to Yan Xishuang’s side and called out.
Yan Xishuang’s gaze fell on Ning Cheng and she quickly remembered who Ning Cheng was, she hmmed and asked, “Fellow Daoist Nian Qiong, you called me for something?”
She had a deep impression of Ning Cheng, among the casual cultivators recruited this time, Ning Cheng had the lowest cultivation level, yet his strength was at a medium level.
Ning Cheng saluted and said, “Yes, because I will soon be entering the Tai Su Secret Realm. Senior sister knows that my cultivation level is not high and I am a little worried ……”
Yan Xishuang smiled faintly, “The Tai Su Secret Realm is huge, you don’t need to worry. As long as you don’t meet those few ruthless people and generally be careful yourself, you will be fine ……”
After a moment’s hesitation, she added, “This time the Tai Su Secret Realm is only accessible below the Plastic Dao cultivation level, your strength is perfectly capable of protecting yourself. Don’t go and offend some of the disciples of the big sects, especially the Twelve Sons of Tai Su. Of course, not all of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su are expected to go in ……”
▪ It was the first time Ning Cheng had heard of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su, he had no idea what the Twelve Sons of Tai Su were, and he had no intention of asking.
Seeing that Yan Xishuang was ready to leave after speaking, Ning Cheng hurriedly asked again, “Senior Sister Yan. I saw that the Ninth Prince of the Barbarian Dragon Clan also seems to be entering the Tai Su Secret Realm. Could it be that he has not shaped his dao either?”
Yan Xishuang said in a faint voice. “A person with a high-minded and arrogant heart like Barbarian Jiu Ren, if he doesn’t go to the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring to transform his divine essence, how would he shape his dao. Once you enter the Tai Su Secret Realm, just concentrate on finding the divine Spirit Grass, and once you encounter danger, just don’t get lost in the treasures. There are countless treasures in the Tai Su Secret Realm, if you can’t get them in one place, there are others elsewhere.”
After saying that, Yan Xishuang did not pay any more attention to Ning Cheng. He turned around and left.
Ning Cheng stood silently in the same place, he had always guessed that the Ninth Prince was overwhelmingly a Dao-shaping powerhouse, and even Hong Lun who he had killed was also a Dao-shaping powerhouse. Now, it seemed that neither the Ninth Prince nor Hong Lun was a Dao-shaping Daoist. It seemed that he had overestimated his own strength.
His Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow could indeed finish off the Ninth Prince, but it might not necessarily be able to finish off a true Shaping Dao cultivator. As long as he couldn’t finish off the Shaping Dao, then he could only wait for the Shaping Dao cultivators to finish him off.
After knowing the gap between him and the Shaping Dao, Ning Cheng did not continue to ask questions outside, but returned to his quarters to wait at ease to enter the Tai Su Secret Realm.
……
Three days later, Ning Cheng finally understood why he had chosen this place. More than ten clan powerhouses had set up a huge teleportation array in the middle of the wilderness. It was obviously here to enter the Tai Su Secret Realm through the method of teleportation.
Ning Cheng’s understanding of the Dao of Formation might not be as good as these powerful people who had set up the formation, but he could still tell that the various parts of this formation were very old. He could not tell the refining techniques either. It was evident that this Teleportation Formation had originally existed, and it should be that the major sects of the Tai Su Domain had taken apart this Teleportation Formation leading to the Tai Su Secret Realm in order to jointly control the Tai Su Secret Realm, and then each sect had mastered some of the teleportation parts. When the time came for the Tai Su Secret Realm to open, they would then combine this teleportation array together.
Ning Cheng stood in the crowd that was about to be teleported and slightly counted the number of people who were going to enter the Tai Su Mysterious Realm, which was at least nearly ten thousand.
A middle-aged female cultivator stood before the teleportation array and said in a clear tone, “Attention all disciples who are about to enter the Tai Su Secret Realm, although the time interval between the opening of the Tai Su Secret Realm is only three thousand years, the territory inside is huge. Even today, there are many places that no one has ever visited. This time, the mysterious realm opens for one year, and after one year, all the people still teleport out from the teleportation array in the mysterious realm. Alright, now everyone starts to enter the teleportation formation ……”
Ning Cheng was a bit puzzled, why didn’t they say what would happen if they didn’t come out of the secret realm in a year?
He whispered and asked a cultivator from the Seven Star Sacred Sect beside him, “This fellow Daoist, may I ask what will happen if you don’t come out in a year? Or what if you don’t make it to the transmission array within a year?”
This cultivator from the Seven Star Saint Sect swept a disdainful glance at Ning Cheng and snorted coldly, not even bothering to answer, clearly looking down on a casual cultivator like Ning Cheng who had entered the secret realm with the help of the Saint Sect.
Having made a fool of himself, Ning Cheng did not ask any more questions and waited until he got inside.
This teleportation array was so big that each time it teleported nearly two to three hundred people, and in just half an incense’s time, it was the turn of the Seven Star Sacred Gate.
Ning Cheng and the many cultivators had just stood on the teleportation array when he felt a divine sense imprint land on him. It was almost impossible for an Eternal Realm cultivator to place a divine sense imprint on him without being discovered. Without waiting for Ning Cheng to find the person who had placed the divine sense imprint, the teleportation array had already been activated.
A wave of dizziness came over Ning Cheng, and he immediately knew that this teleportation array was an ultra-long distance teleportation.
After a long time, Ning Cheng’s feet became solid and he appeared in the middle of another huge teleportation formation.
Following the crowd out of the teleportation formation, Ning Cheng found that he was still in a wilderness. However, the divine Spiritual Qi here was far from the place he had come from. The divine Spiritual Qi here was not only pure but also dense, so it was no wonder that many precious divine Spiritual Grasses could grow.
After being transported over, the crowd quickly dispersed individually. Most of them vanish alone, while a small number of cultivators team up together.
Ning Cheng found a direction alone and quickly left as well, and after an incense stick, Ning Cheng stopped. He saw a piece of Drunken Dream Glass, which was a low grade divine Spirit Grass.
In the Tai Su Realm, divine Spirit Grasses were divided into three levels: low grade, middle grade and top grade. Low-grade divine Spirit Grasses were the most common, while top-grade divine Spirit Grasses were rare. Generally, the divine pills refined by the low-grade and mid-grade divine spirit grasses are only effective for first-step cultivators of the Dao of Enlightenment. Only a very few divine pills made from top-level divine spirit grasses will have an effect on Saint Emperors in the second step of the Dao of Enlightenment.
The real cultivation resource sought by a strong person in the second step of Dao enlightenment was the Dao Pill or the Dao Fruit.
It was also because the top-grade divine Spirit Grasses were difficult to find that there were not many Dao Yuan Dan Gods in the Tai Su Realm. As for Dao Yuan Dan Saints, that was even more rare.
Drunken Dream Glaze was a low-grade divine spirit herb, but it was somewhat useful to Ning Cheng. The Drunken Dream Glaze could be used to make the Embodied Dream Pill, a pill that would be very useful for sensing some of the divine abilities, especially such intent divine abilities as Mo Xiang Yi or Sunset Dusk.
Ning Cheng was now a Dao-shaping Dan God, and even if he couldn’t use it himself, he could still refine the Dream Containing Pill and sell it.
After collecting all these Drunken Dream Glazes, Ning Cheng did not pay any attention to the divine sense marks on his body, but continued to go deeper.
An hour later, Ning Cheng stopped at a valley. He was certain that the divine sense mark on his body had been placed by someone hired by Barbarian Jiu Ren. Barbarian Jiu Ren would not have the patience for long for the sake of the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow. He had to concentrate on finding the Divine Spirit Grass and was in no mood to play hide-and-seek with Barbarian Jiu Ren. This place was where Barbarian Jiu Ren was buried.
Ning Cheng had seen how powerful Savage Jiu Ren was, and besides, after Savage Jiu Ren knew that his Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow was powerful, he would definitely have helpers when he came looking for him again.
With the kind of tactics of Barbarian Jiu Ren, the most appropriate way was to find someone to make him shoot the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow first, and then deal with it personally. It was also because of this guess that Ning Cheng had refined a fake Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow.
Ning Cheng began to set up formations at this valley, and instead of setting up a killing formation, he set up a trapping formation.
After the trap formation was completed, Ning Cheng took out a jade slip and pretended to study the map. He did not have to study it for long before a transporting light landed in front of Ning Cheng.
“You are Ning Cheng?” The person who landed not far in front of Ning Cheng was a thin man with a small stature and a few sparse strands of hair on his head, which looked somewhat comical.
However, Ning Cheng did not find this man half as comical as he sensed that this skinny male cultivator’s strength was even stronger than the Red Lun he had met back then. If his strength hadn’t increased so quickly recently and his methods had become more numerous, he would really only be able to use the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow.
Ning Cheng knew clearly that he absolutely could not use the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow now, as this skinny man was definitely one of Barbarian Jiu Ren’s people. It was surprising that he had not found any traces of Barbarian Jiu Ren as he was hiding and had not come out. It was certain that after he finished off this skinny man with one arrow, Barbarian Jiu Ren would definitely come out as a fisherman.
This scrawny man was really an idiot, being pushed out by Barbarian Jiu Ren to send him to his death, and still not knowing it.
“Who is Ning Cheng?” Even if he knew full well that the other party knew that he was Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng would not admit it. Barbarian Jiu Ren was not worth his fear, what really scared him was the person behind Barbarian Jiu Ren.
The skinny man snorted coldly, “Whether you are Ning Cheng or not, you give me death ……”
A pair of scissors that seemed to cut this space in half suddenly enveloped Ning Cheng’s space, even Ning Cheng’s breath was enveloped in it. A powerful domain of demon yuan aura suppressed over, and Ning Cheng was like a falling leaf in a storm under this suppression.
Definitely not being able to fight this person for too long, Ning Cheng did not even sacrifice his magic treasures and directly cleaved out the Divine Sense Slash.
Since cultivating into the Divine Sense Chop, this was the first time Ning Cheng had used this technique.
“Ka-ching ……” Ning Cheng’s domain immediately became fragile because he had to sacrifice the Divine Sense Slash. Under the opponent’s powerful domain suppression, a crisp crack sounded.
The Divine Consciousness Chop also blasted into the thin man’s sea of consciousness at the same time, and the thin man’s face changed as he gave a startled eep, followed by a wild flash of Dao rhymes in his weekly voice.
Ning Cheng was shocked to discover that his Divine Sense Slash was actually blocked by an invisible force after slashing into the other man’s sea of consciousness.
Once this person had slowed down and blocked the divine Sense Slash, he would really have to wait for his death. Understanding this, Ning Cheng did not hesitate to throw a punch again, a punch that contained the Law of Time.
There was no Sunset Twilight, this was just a pure punch. The Dao rhythm of the Time Law that this fist rolled around caused the thin man to stagnate for a moment, and the Divine Sense Slash crushed down in the thin man’s sea of consciousness without a single hindrance.
Almost without a pause, Ning Cheng raised his hand and brought out a long black arrow.
