Whether he dared or not, Ning Cheng had already killed Barbarian Jiu Ren. At this moment, he was healing in a deserted cave, the entrance of which he had thrown down several defensive and concealment array disks, and Chasing Ox was guarding the entrance of the cave to help warn him.
The Chasing Bull was only a level seven Starry Sky Demonic Beast, so it could only help to warn him in this place. None of the cultivators who could enter this secret realm had a cultivation level below eternal. Some of the disciples of the great sects were even half-step into the Shaping Dao. If Chasing Bull faced these cultivators, it was estimated that he wouldn’t be able to hold up in a single light.
Previously, every time after sacrificing the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow, Ning Cheng had to rest for more than a month, but this time, it only took Ning Cheng half a month to fully recover.
Ning Cheng did not feel much elation in his heart as he walked out of this deserted cave.
Those divine consciousnesses that he had devoured were mixed in his sea of consciousness, and if he did not remove them, he would not be able to cultivate at all, let alone advance. But no matter how much he divided it, he could not separate these devoured divine consciousnesses. Perhaps there was only one way to go, and that was to refine these divine consciousnesses into his own.
Ning Cheng was unwilling to do this, nor did he dare to do so.
Even if he did not think about the divine consciousness that he had devoured in his sea of consciousness, I was afraid that he would not be able to conceal the fact that he had killed Barbarian Jiu Ren. However, even if it could no longer be concealed, if it happened again, Ning Cheng would still not hesitate to finish off Barbarian Jiu Ren.
If he killed Barbarian Jiu Ren, he might be in a very bad position. But if he didn’t kill Savage Jiu Ren, it would be even worse for him. Putting these two things together, it would be strange if Ning Cheng was happy.
Luckily, there was still a year to go, so Ning Cheng simply left these worries aside and concentrated on collecting the divine Spirit Grass.
The Tai Su Secret Realm was indeed huge. Nearly ten thousand people had entered this mysterious realm. After several days in a row. Ning Cheng had surprisingly not met a single person.
In just a few days, he had collected a dozen of low and medium grade divine Spirit Grasses such as Xuan Mist Heavenly Grass, Desolate God Bud, Zen Spirit Flower and so on. As for the high grade divine Spirit Grasses, Ning Cheng did not see a single one.
Ning Cheng had long since cast aside the matter of finding enough divine Spirit Grasses to then participate in the Great Tai Su Competition. With tens of thousands of people entering this secret realm to collect divine Spirit Grasses and search for all sorts of heaven and earth treasures, it would simply be difficult for him to enter the top ten.
This thing was not a comparison of the strength of cultivation, it was entirely based on luck. Ning Cheng knew that he was because of his possession of the Creation Treasures. His luck had always been good. However, small luck and great luck were two different things, and this kind of search for divine Spirit Grass was entirely small luck.
On this day, Ning Cheng had just found a Buddha Shakra Golden Luo Fruit when he saw a violent spatial fluctuation surge over. His divine sense immediately swept over, but it was quickly blocked.
Although there was no direct suppression of divine sense in the Tai Su Secret Realm, it was unable to penetrate further. With Ning Cheng’s astral sea of consciousness, his divine sense could only hover around a couple of thousand miles.
This kind of spatial fluctuation was definitely a cultivator fighting against each other, and Ning Cheng originally did not want to get involved in such matters. However, the faint aura of High Grade Divine Spirit Grass coming from that spatial fluctuation immediately made Ning Cheng change his mind.
He had searched until today. He had not found a single High Grade Divine Spirit Grass either. Some High Grade Divine Spirit Grasses were even more valuable than ordinary Dao Fruits, and this High Grade Divine Spirit Grass scent came. Ning Cheng immediately wanted to go and take a look. What if he came across a large area of High Grade Divine Spirit Grasses? That was for whoever grabbed it, no one would be polite to you here.
After taking out a disguise mask and disguising himself as a male cultivator with a fierce face, Ning Cheng quickly vanish past.
More than ten breaths later, Ning Cheng stopped. Dozens of cultivators had already come here, and these cultivator suits were obviously the same as Ning Cheng’s, who had come after sensing the spatial fluctuations.
What appeared in front of Ning Cheng was a huge entrance to the Hidden Defence Formation, the entrance to the Hidden Defence Formation had signs of dilapidation, which should have been attacked by the cultivators here. It looked like the spatial fluctuation he had felt just now was not because someone was fighting, but because someone had attacked the defensive formation here.
When he reached the front and back of this near, the aura of High Grade Divine Spirit Grass spilling out from inside was even stronger. Obviously, there were very many High Grade Divine Spirit Grasses in this concealing formation. Ning Cheng was delighted in his heart, this concealment defence formation had not been broken until now, so he had arrived just in time.
“Everyone continue attacking together, although this concealment defence formation is strong, it can only last for half a column of time at most.” A and square-faced male cultivator sacrificed his magic treasure and walked up to this concealment defence formation and spoke.
Ning Cheng’s gaze swept past this square-faced male cultivator and his heart faintly fluttered. This person was only at the late Eternal stage, but the strong aura on this square-faced male cultivator was not worse than the skinny man he had killed before. Ning Cheng knew very well that the scrawny man brought in by the Ninth Prince as cannon fodder was a true half-step Dao-shaping powerhouse.
A late Eternal stage was no worse than a half-step Dao-shaping cultivator, this guy was powerful.
“Brother Huo wait, there are more and more people here, after we break the formation later, how will the things inside be distributed?” A man dressed in snow-white robes stood out.
Ning Cheng’s eyes once again stared when he saw this white-robed man. Why were there so many experts here? This white-robed man’s cultivation level was no weaker than that of the square-faced cultivator, another top powerhouse. What surprised Ning Cheng even more was that this white-robed man was also at the late Eternal stage.
The lower the cultivation level the stronger the strength, and naturally the greater the potential.
When the square faced male cultivator heard this, he nodded and said, “Bai Yi is right, there are thirty four people here now, if they all flood in, it would be confusing to divide things up ……”
After the square-faced cultivator surnamed Huo finished speaking, his eyes swept over the rest of the cultivators. Ning Cheng understood what he meant, it wasn’t that dividing things was confusing, but that with more people, each person would have less things to share.
Just then, a sharp-tongued man stepped forward, his face full of smiles as he gave a salute to the white-clothed male cultivator and the square-faced male cultivator before saying, “There are many people here, but Big Brother Huo and Big Brother Qu are both strong among the Twelve Sons of Tai Su, so we naturally listen to the two holy sons’ orders.”
Only then did Ning Cheng understand, no wonder the aura was so powerful, so they were two of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su. These Twelve Sons of Tai Su were indeed not people with false names, just by looking at these two fellows, Ning Cheng could imagine how powerful the remaining ten were.
The cultivator surnamed Huo nodded and said aloud in a solitary voice, ”Since we can all get together. It is also considered fate. Many of you also know me, Huo Erqi and Qu Baiyi. I won’t say any more nonsense. After we break through this concealing formation. Let’s take a look at the divine Spirit Grass inside, and then the two of us will distribute it, does anyone have any objections?”
This distribution plan was a shameless one at first glance, and Ning Cheng was sure that someone would stand out to oppose it. To Ning Cheng’s disappointment, not only did no one object, but everyone called out in agreement. Ning Cheng secretly sighed in his heart, this Tai Su Twelve Sons’ prestige was a little too great.
Qu Baiyi suddenly frowned for a moment and dropped his gaze on Ning Cheng. In a flat tone, he said, “This friend, just now everyone said yes and you didn’t say anything, could it be that you don’t agree with Brother Huo’s proposal?”
Ning Cheng said indifferently, “The two of you are the Twelve Sons of Tai Su, illustrious existences, naturally you do not know the bitter pursuit of High Grade Divine Spirit Grass by those of us. If after opening it, the two of you casually assign us some medium and low grade divine Spirit Grasses, do you want us to agree to that as well?”
Huo Erqi heard Ning Cheng’s words. His face instantly sank and he snorted coldly. “What should we do according to you?”
While others feared the Twelve Sons of Tai Su, Ning Cheng did not fear them in the slightest. He was now in disguise, and these cultivators who were not yet Dao-shaping could not possibly recognise who he was, even if they were strong.
Now that Huo Erqi asked him, he said unhurriedly, “Everyone will blast this concealment formation together, and then each will fight for the Divine Spirit Grass based on their strength.”
On the surface, it appeared that Ning Cheng did not have any strength to call the shots in the face of Huo Erqi and Qu Baiyi. However, Ning Cheng was speaking from the standpoint of the rest of the cultivators, so naturally no one would stand out and talk nonsense at this point.
No one said anything, and Huo Erqi and Qu Baiyi naturally knew what was going on. Even though the two of them had ugly faces, Qu Baiyi could only say, “In that case, let’s do as this friend says and break the concealment formation together, then each according to their chance.”
He said this with his mouth, but in his heart, he had already made a note of Ning Cheng. According to his previous proposal, no one here would dare to oppose it at all, who would dare to oppose the Twelve Sons of Tai Su? Unfortunately, at this time, someone had come forward to oppose it.
Thirty to forty Eternal Cultivators attacked this concealment formation together, and even if the defence of this concealment formation was strong, it would not be able to stop such a powerful attack.
In just half a column of time, there was a ‘boom’ and the concealment formation shattered on the spot. Before the eyes of the crowd, a lush greenness appeared, and an even stronger aura of divine spirit grass gushed out.
Without waiting for the crowd to rush in with surprise, two angry hisses came out, followed by the sudden appearance of two huge black holes. A fishy smell came out, and Ning Cheng felt that the space around him was suppressed, his protective field shattered inch by inch, and his body was imprisoned at this moment, as black poisonous fog swept in.
Ning Cheng secretly said that it was not good, and as his divine sense rolled, the spatial laws spread out around him, and his body instantly regained its freedom. Ning Cheng’s Heavenly Cloud wings swiftly swung, and in a gap of time, he landed hundreds of feet away.
Behind Ning Cheng, screams of misery and various magic treasure rays intertwined, and space shook endlessly.
A line of wretched figures, like Ning Cheng, hurriedly retreated to the periphery.
After ten or so breaths, this chaos finally ended and Ning Cheng saw clearly what these two black holes were. Two centipedes that were hundreds of feet long stopped in front of the concealed defence formation that had been opened by the crowd, and powerful waves of demon yuan aura came over, and even though Ning Cheng was far away, he could still feel the power of it.
These two hideous centipedes actually had a human-shaped face, their bodies were red in colour, and they were densely packed with an unknown number of thick feet, each of which resembled a long knife. One of the centipedes still had a bit of blood-stained rag hanging below the corner of its mouth.
“This is a human-faced poisonous centipede ……,” a female cultivator shrieked in shock.
Only then did Ning Cheng realize that there were less than twenty-five of the original thirty or so. Those two mouths just now had directly swallowed seven or eight Eternal powerhouses, this Human Faced Poison Centipede was really powerful.
Everyone knew how powerful the Human Faced Poison Centipede was, yet there was not a single person here to go. Behind these two poisonous centipedes was a field of divine spirit grasses that were so dense that only an idiot would leave in the face of the temptation of so many divine spirit grasses. What’s more, there are no idiots here, and a place where so many lush divine spirit grasses can grow, how can there be no other secrets?
