Although it was only two face-to-face encounters, Ning Cheng could feel that Lu Yixian was far stronger than the rest. I was afraid that he had not exerted his full strength even when he had fought with Yatian. Lu Yixian was strong, but when he said that he could finish himself off by sacrificing the One-Horned Bronze Lamp, Ning Cheng did not even take it to heart.
He, Lu Yixian, had a bottom card, did he not have one himself? If it wasn’t for the fact that there were other people here, he would have sacrificed his First Naive Bridge without the need for Lu Yixian to do anything. He did not believe that Lu Yixian could cross his First Helix Bridge.
If the two of them were to fight to the death, Ning Cheng thought that he was 90% sure of finishing off Lu Yixian.
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, the aura on Lu Yixian’s body soared, and the surrounding star elements once again buzzed and trembled. Ning Cheng was not even alarmed, he had taken out several even half-step Dao-shaping, an Eternal Perfection, even if he was excellent, he was not afraid.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s expression calm and unruffled, merely as his aura rose and the gun pattern surrounding the spear in his hand slowly faded, Lu Yixian frowned slightly. He had the feeling of facing a majestic mountain, no matter how powerful his waves were, no matter how high they stirred up, they could not break away from the majestic peak in front of him.
This man was a formidable enemy, definitely the strongest of the strong. Lu Yixian looked around at the onlooking cultivators, and the aura around him suddenly gathered up.
He was not afraid of Ning Cheng, but he did not dare to fight for his life here. Ning Cheng’s strength was far beyond his expectations, and while he could defeat Ning Cheng, he could not guarantee that he would not be injured.
Not to mention others, just Yin and that Yatian was a threat. Once he was seriously injured, then there was a high chance that he would lose his little life here. In his opinion, Ning Cheng, a casual cultivator’s little life was far less valuable than his life. It was just transforming a divine element, and the divine spring in the second stone door would be enough.
Lu Yixian’s aura collected and his face eased up a little as he slowly put away the one-horned bronze lamp and looked at Ning Cheng and said word for word, “You are lucky today, I will let you have this first spring. Next time you won’t be so lucky. If one day you manage to escape the hands of the Savage Dragon Saint Emperor, remember not to meet me. For I will move to kill you.”
Ning Cheng waved his hand and the lance disappeared without a trace, he looked at Lu Yixian speechlessly and said in a somewhat helpless tone, “Are you going to die if you don’t pretend?”
Lu Yixian frowned slightly, he did not understand the meaning of Ning Cheng’s words. He also ignored Ning Cheng and instead walked towards the second stone door.
This was the difference between him and Ning Cheng, if Ning Cheng and him exchanged places, he would never give up the First Divine Spring as long as Ning Cheng felt that he could finish the other party. Ning Cheng had risked life and death to come to the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring for one purpose only, and that was to perfectly transform the divine essence.
Lu Yixian’s prudence had allowed him to save himself in many cases, and likewise caused him to lose many things that were precious enough.
At the second stone door, the battle between Yatian and Connie Chung Mong Yu was in full swing. Although Connie Zhong Meng Yu’s Thunder Light Ruyi Pearl was powerful, it was not yet able to lock up Yatian’s black smoke.
Lu Yixian had just come over when Connie Zhong Meng Yu was entangled in Yatian’s black smoke and blasted straight out tens of feet away.
Connie Zhong Meng Yu grabbed the two thunder beads in a bit of a mess and never went up to Yatian to make a move again.
When Yatian, who had blasted Connie Zhong Meng Yu away, saw Lu Yixian walking over, he had to laugh to himself, “Alas, if I had known this, I might as well have chosen the third stone door first, causing me to spend half a day’s effort, but fortunately, it’s not too late.”
After saying this, he directly left the second stone door he had just snatched up and walked to the front of the third stone door. After seeing Lu Yixian’s true strength, Yatian was also not willing to fight hard with Lu Yixian. He could see that Lu Yixian had not exerted his full strength when he fought with him.
Yin Yin clasped his fist to Ning Cheng, “JI Dan Emperor, I am not your opponent, if you don’t mind, I want to change to another stone door.”
Ning Cheng smiled, “Then thank you very much, be my guest.”
If he could refrain from making a move, Ning Cheng naturally would not think of fighting meaninglessly.
Yin nodded and swept her gaze past Lu Yixian, who occupied the second stone door, and then landed on Yatian, who occupied the third stone door. However, she quickly swept past Yatian once again and her gaze fell on the fourth stone door.
Yan Xifeng frowned slightly, she had just defeated Mu Shuifeng and her body had not yet recovered from her heavy injuries. If Yin came to her at this time, she would have no choice but to admit defeat.
Without waiting for Yin to speak, Connie Zhong Meng Yu suddenly walked up to Yan Xishang, “I want the fourth stone door.”
Yan Xishuang sighed, if she hadn’t been injured, she wouldn’t have feared a mere Connie Zhong Meng Yu at all. Now that she was injured, she was definitely not a match for Connie Zhong Meng Yu.
Just when Yan Xishuang wanted to open her mouth to admit defeat and change a stone door, Ning Cheng suddenly said, “The fourth stone door belongs to my friend, if you want it, don’t blame me for snatching it up later.”
Connie Zhong Meng Yu’s face turned white with anger when she heard Ning Cheng’s words. She had been the character who wanted the second stone door, but now she could not even get her turn for the fourth stone door, and this stifling and displeasure had reached the extreme.
Luckily, she hadn’t turned stupid yet, Ning Cheng could make Lu Yixian willingly give up the first stone door, the strength was definitely not something she, Connie Zhong Meng Yu, could compete with. She could also see that Ning Cheng was ruthless, otherwise he would not have taken out Guo Kaige as soon as he arrived. If this casual cultivator could take out Guo Kaige, he could take out her, Connie Zhong Meng Yu. One had to know that in terms of fame, the River Luo Saint Sect, where Guo Kaige was from, was far more powerful than her sect, the Sunken Fish Palace.
Forcing this hatred and grievance into her heart, Connie Zhong Meng Yu was about to walk to the fifth stone door when she saw Yin land in front of the fifth stone door first and said in a calm tone, “I’ll take this stone door.”
Connie Zhong Meng Yu was afraid of Lu Yixian, couldn’t beat Yatian, and didn’t dare to fight Ning Cheng, but if Yin wanted to stand on her head too, then don’t dream.
This time, Connie Zhong Meng Yu didn’t even bother to say anything, she directly sacrificed a pair of Thunder Light Ruyi Beads and blasted at Yin.
Knowing Connie Zhong Meng Yu’s nature, Yin offered up the Golden Book in her hand at the same moment. If it hadn’t been for Ning Cheng, she would have driven Yan Xishuang away. Now that Yan Xishuang was covered by Ning Cheng, she could only snatch the fifth stone door.
The golden book’s ten thousand golden lights and Connie Zhong Meng Yu’s thunder arcs blasted together, the golden book’s killing aura and the thunder arcs splashed everywhere.
Connie Zhong Meng Yu’s heart was high, but her strength was nowhere near as high as her heart. In just under half a column of incense, she was completely overpowered by Yin, and the lightning could no longer break out of the light of Yin’s Golden Book. Another dozen or so breaths passed before Connie Zhong Meng Yu’s two Thunder Light Ruyi Pearls were blasted away for the second time, and Connie Zhong Meng Yu followed her two Thunder Light Ruyi Pearls and flew out once more.
Spurting a mouthful of blood in the air, Connie Zhong Meng Yu’s breath was already shrivelled up when she fell down. After several defeats in quick succession, she had finally seen her place clearly. Nor did she continue to fight for the fifth stone door with Yin, not even for the sixth and seventh stone doors, but meekly walked to the front of the eighth stone door.
The seventh stone door was occupied by the injured Mu Shui Feng, and Connie Zhong Meng Yu was similarly injured, so to her the difference between the seventh and eighth stone doors was not very great.
No one said much, and it was certain that if Ning Cheng had not taken out Guo Kaige as soon as he arrived, then I was afraid that Connie Zhong Meng Yu would only be able to occupy the tenth stone door.
The tenth stone door was occupied by Ji Pingzhong, who was originally prepared to wait for the transformation of his divine essence before finishing off Ning Cheng. After he saw the battle between Ning Cheng and Lu Yixian, he temporarily extinguished that thought. Even if he had transformed his divine essence, he probably would not be able to defeat Lu Yixian who had not transformed his divine essence. Ning Cheng, on the other hand, could snatch Lu Yixian’s position right now.
Regardless of whether or not Lu Yixian was Ning Cheng’s opponent, but the fact that he had given up his position, it meant that he was afraid of Ning Cheng. Even Lu Yixian was afraid of Ning Cheng, so it was somewhat unlikely that he, Ji Pingzhong, whose cultivation level was not far from suppressing Ning Cheng, would want to take revenge.
Yan Xishuang sighed with relief and looked at Ning Cheng and nodded as a sign of gratitude.
Shui Yue, a disciple of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond who had not been participating in the fight and had no grudges against anyone, saw that all ten stone gates had been allocated and took the initiative to stand out and said, “Everyone has chosen their stone gate, now let’s all stamp our respective qualification tokens into the stone gate recess. Senior Brother JI, I’ll also trouble you with the recess for the ninth stone door.”
As a disciple of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, a casual practitioner like Ning Cheng was not something she would look at in the eyes. But Ning Cheng had easily taken out Guo Kaige and forced back Lu Yixian, the number one ranked of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su, a strength she had to respect as a senior brother.
The crowd took out their own qualification tokens and stamped them into the recesses. Ning Cheng took out his own identity qualification token and stamped it into the first stone door recess. He also took out Guo Kaige’s identity qualification token and stamped it into the ninth stone door’s recess.
As the ten identity tokens were printed into the grooves at the same time, the ten stone doors made a ‘creak’ sound and then slowly opened.
A rich divine spring aura invaded the room, and almost all of them drew in a comfortable breath, even those who were injured, and at this moment, their injuries had improved.
Ten qualification tiles fell, and Ning Cheng collected the qualification tile for the first stone door and entered it.
Once Ning Cheng entered the stone door, the stone door outside, once again, slowly closed. The huge stone platform, which was still in a great battle just a moment ago, became clear and cold after the crowd left.
The divine essence aura was so thick that Ning Cheng even wanted to cultivate to the late Eternal stage here.
A step that sloped upwards appeared in front of Ning Cheng, and Ning Cheng’s divine sense stretched out and was hidden by the dense divine essence aura. This divine sense was unable to penetrate extremely far away, seemingly not because of the divine sense ban, but because the divine essence aura was too dense, causing the divine sense to fall into the chaos of the divine essence aura.
Ning Cheng stepped up the steps one by one, and with each step up, he could feel the divine essence aura becoming more dense.
As Ning Cheng went higher, the divine essence around him turned into a fine mist, submerging Ning Cheng in it. It was as if Ning Cheng felt like he was alone in the clouds, and it was hard to describe the comfort and relief he felt.
This Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring, he had indeed come to the right place. How much one gave, how much one got in return. When he went out from here again, he would have a transformation.
