Qi Thirteen Stars laughed, “That’s no problem, I’ll help you to enter the Great Tai Su Competition. Even if I’m trapped in the Lost Stone Forest for tens of thousands of years and my strength has declined so much, it doesn’t necessarily mean that I won’t be able to win the top ten.”
“Don’t you need to transform star elements?” Ning Cheng asked, puzzled.
Qi Thirteen Stars smiled heatedly, “Back then, before I entered the Tai Su Mysterious Realm, I had all long converted my star elements into divine elements. If I hadn’t been trapped by the Tai Su Mystic Stone Forest for tens of thousands of years, I would be a Dao Shaping Saint Emperor now.”
Hearing this, Ning Cheng was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “That couldn’t be better, I will give you those divine Spirit Grasses later. As long as the number can reach the top ten, you can capture a spot to enter the Great Tai Su Competition.”
Qi XIII Xing waved his hand and said, “I’ll just ask my old man for a place to go to the Great Tai Su Competition, what I’m worried about is that in case I can’t win the top ten, it won’t be good if you can’t enter the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring to transform star elements.”
If it was Qi XIII Xing himself, he would not have cared. However, he could tell that Ning Cheng was very concerned about entering the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring. If it was because of him that Ning Cheng could not enter the Extra-dimensional Divine Spring, then it would be really sorry.
Ning Cheng smiled, “Thirteen Stars, the total number of places in the Tai Su Domain for the Tai Su Grand Competition is only one hundred. I believe that your Xuan Yue Divine Sect is also very concerned about the number of spots for the competition, so it would be better for me to obtain my spot through the divine Spirit Grass method, so as not to offend your fellow sect members, and so that no one can say anything in the future.”
Qi XIII Xing understood Ning Cheng’s meaning, Ning Cheng did not want to make it difficult for him to behave. Even if his old man was the clan master, for him to casually take away the clan’s entry quota like this was still causing people to gossip. Luckily, he knew that Ning Cheng had a lot of divine Spirit Grasses and said approvingly, “Then let’s do as you wish.”
Ning Cheng casually took off his mask. “Thirteen Stars. This is my original appearance. Don’t when the time comes. You don’t recognize me, that would be a joke.”
Seeing Ning Cheng remove his disguise mask magic treasure, Qi Thirteen Stars was suddenly stunned as he thought of a better way.
Ning Cheng patted Qi XIII Xing, “Hey, are you alright?”
Qi Thirteen Stars smiled heatedly, “This appearance of yours is much smoother, before you looked a little fierce. However. I did think of a better way so that you can go to the Great Tai Su Competition yourself.”
As he spoke, Qi XIII Xing took out a jade bottle and handed it to Ning Cheng, “I have a Shape-Changing Pill here, which was refined by a Dao Breeding Dan God. It will allow you to change your appearance for three months, even a Yudao Saint Emperor won’t be able to tell the difference ……”
“Wait.” Ning Cheng interrupted Qi XIII Xing’s words, “XIII Xing, I’m afraid that won’t work. Firstly, everyone who enters the Tai Su Secret Realm has an identity, even you have your own identity, who am I disguised as? Secondly that Barbarian Huishan is not a Yuk Dao. Rather, they are Dao Yuan powerhouses. When they go out later, there will even be mixed elemental powerhouses. That’s a bit wrong.”
“Don’t worry, the identity is there. Back then, I entered the secret realm with JI He, a rank eight Dan Emperor from the Tai Su domain, and found the Tai Su Lost Stone Forest together. Later we both got lost in the Tai Su Lost Stone Forest and lost contact with each other. Several years later, I found the remains of JI He. I found the Dan Club’s identity plate in his remains, but unfortunately, I didn’t find his ring.”
As he spoke, Qi XIII Xing took out a green coloured, unidentified material refined into a plaque and handed it to Ning Cheng, “This is the Dan Guild identity plaque of a rank eight Dan Emperor, by the way, has your level of alchemy reached rank eight Dan Emperor?”
Ning Cheng nodded, he had passed the eighth level Dan Emperor a long time ago, and was now a true Dao-shaping Dan God. He took the plate and looked at it repeatedly for half a day, but he could not tell what material it was refined from. He only saw eight stars engraved on the plaque, as well as some of the Dan Society’s symbols and such.
Seeing Ning Cheng repeatedly looking at the plate, Qi XIII Xing thought that Ning Cheng had only just arrived in the Tai Su Realm and immediately explained, “In the Tai Su Realm, the Dan Association is very strong, stronger than the Weapon Association, the Talisman Association and the Formation Alliance. As long as one reaches Dan Emperor, the identity plate is cyan in colour. Level seven Dan Emperors are light cyan, level eight Dan Emperors are cyan, and level nine Dan Emperors are dark cyan.
If one advances to Dan God, the colour of the identity plate is now blue or purple, and the colours are separated from light to dark. A Shaping Dao Dan God is light blue, and a Mixed Yuan Dan God is purple. As for a dark purple Ordinary Dan Saint or a golden High Dan Saint, that has never been seen before.”
“This method is indeed good, only that the aura cannot be hidden, I have never even seen that JI He, nor can I sense his aura, this method is too risky.” Ning Cheng still shook his head and returned the Dan Club’s identity card to Qi XIII Xing.
Ning Cheng was certain that he could completely conceal the aura of the Shape-Changing Dan, so that even Dao Yuan powerhouses would not be able to see it. However, he had no way to simulate JI He’s aura, and as long as he was slightly acquainted with JI He’s cultivators, he would not be able to hide from them.
Qi Thirteen Stars smiled heatedly, “You don’t have to worry, I have JI He’s cultivation technique. Isn’t this a few months before we go out? A few months, you just need to feel the aura of his gong method a little and you won’t be recognized when you go out. With my status, there shouldn’t be many who dare to use their divine sense to spy on you.”
“You have JI and cultivation techniques?” Ning Cheng asked with delight.
If he had a gong method, he wouldn’t even need a few months. With the power of Xuanhuang Wufang, he was certain that he could completely simulate his aura as JI He’s in just ten days.
“Of course.” Qi XIII Xing took out a jade slip and handed it to Ning Cheng, “JI He and I are very close, this is something we exchanged with each other, I gave him a very good divine ability. Alas, it’s a pity ……”
Ning Cheng took Qi XIII Xing’s jade slip, he understood why Qi XIII Xing wanted to exchange merits with JI He. This Qi XIII Xing was indeed a friend enough, he clearly did not need JI He’s gongfa, but he knew that JI He needed his divine ability, and that was why he came up with a way to exchange with JI He. Only by doing so would he not make JI He feel guilty that
……
In the following months, while Ning Cheng and Qi XIII Xing were heading back, Qi XIII Xing was telling Ning Cheng about JI He. JI He was a scattered cultivator, but had a powerful talent for alchemy. Later on, after entering the Tai Su Domain and becoming a member of the For Dan Society, he helped many clans with their alchemy and had a good time.
Qi XIII Xing was the one who privately sought out JI He to refine pills and the two met.
When Ning Cheng heard that JI He had a fiancée, his face turned a little ugly. It was true that a rank eight Dan Emperor was nothing in the Tai Su Domain, but JI He had the potential to develop into a Dan God. A family that wanted to marry JI He was obviously looking at JI He’s potential as well. In case he went out and was pestered by this allied family, it would not be good.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s uncomfortable face, Qi Thirteen Stars laughed and patted Ning Cheng, “You don’t have to worry, JI He has disappeared into the Tai Su Mysterious Realm for 60,000 years, I guess no one would think that he is still alive. That family that joined with him in marriage saw his talent in alchemy, but there is nothing to love or not to love. JI He has disappeared for tens of thousands of years, people might even have children, so how would they remember an unknown casual cultivator like you?”
Ning Cheng thought about it, a rank eight Dan Emperor was really nothing in the Tai Su Domain. Not to mention that in a few months, he might even enter the Extra-dominion Divine Spring.
With the help of Qi Thirteen Stars, in just a few months’ time, Ning Cheng had gained a certain understanding of JI He. In a few months’ time, not only had Ning Cheng and Qi XIII Xing both obtained a large amount of divine Spirit Grasses, they were also getting closer and closer to the exit transmission array.
What was even more reassuring to Ning Cheng was that the Human Faced Poison Centipede had not been chasing after them.
When there was still one month left before the one-year period, Ning Cheng took the Shape-Changing Pill. Now that he had Qi Thirteen Stars’ help and reminders, the Transfiguration JI and was becoming more and more alike.
The closer he got to the location of the teleportation array, the more people he met along the way.
“Thirteen, what would happen if one stays in here and doesn’t go out after the year is up?” Ning Cheng asked suspiciously as he watched many people rush towards the teleportation formation.
“If it’s not in a specific place, such as a place like the Lost Stone Forest, then there is only one ending, being suppressed and dying. I heard that if a cultivator stays in here for more than a year, the pressure from heaven and earth will also gradually increase, and they will no longer be able to absorb any divine spiritual energy.” Qi Thirteen Stars said in a gruff voice.
“Huh, you’re Qi Thirteen Stars of the Xuan Yue Divine Sect?” A startled voice rang out, and soon a grey-clothed male cultivator stopped in front of Ning Cheng and Qi Thirteen Stars.
Qi Thirteen Stars surveyed the cultivator in front of him and nodded, “That’s right, I am Qi Thirteen Stars.”
This cultivator he did not recognize at all, so he must have seen him before.
“You’ve been in here for 60,000 years?” This cultivator seemed to know Qi Thirteen Stars very well, and opened his mouth to say how many years Qi Thirteen Stars had been in the Tai Su Secret Realm.
After saying that, he didn’t even wait for Qi XIII Xing to answer, and then he dropped his gaze on Ning Cheng and smiled, “This must be JI He, a rank eight Dan Emperor, these years have passed, JI He Dan Emperor should have gone even higher, right?”
Ning Cheng ignored this grey clothed cultivator, this grey clothed cultivator was a half-step Dao-shaping powerhouse, his gaze flashed and he was obviously trying to hit him and Qi XIII Xing. It was also true that the two of them, he and Qi XIII Xing, had stayed inside the Tai Su Secret Realm for 60,000 years. In the other party’s opinion, I was afraid that the divine Spirit Grass on their bodies would not even fit in their rings.
Moreover, neither he nor Qi Thirteen Stars looked to be halfway to Dao-shaping in cultivation, and Qi Thirteen Stars hadn’t even fully recovered his Yuan Qi. Although it was not quite skin and bones, it still looked a little weak.
“Ning Cheng, this fellow wants to rob us. If I haven’t guessed, he should be a half-step Dao-shaping powerhouse.” Qi Thirteen Stars’ voice transmission reached Ning Cheng’s ears in time.
Ning Cheng nodded and cupped his fist to this half-step Dao-shaping cultivator and said, “I wonder which sect my friend is from?”
The grey clothed cultivator smiled heatedly, “I am a casual cultivator ……”
With just a few words, this grey-clothed cultivator’s domain suddenly burst open and instantly enveloped Ning Cheng and Qi XIII Xing, while a huge red net fell from the air.
