“Hahaha ……” A cheerful laugh came from a loud voice, “Ning Dan Sage has unexpectedly come to my Tai Su Market, I am sorry to welcome you from afar.”
The haha laughter came when it was still in the distance. By the time the words ‘I’m sorry to welcome you from afar’ were spoken, a green-shirted man was already appearing in front of Ning Cheng. This green-shirted man clasped his fist, “Tai Su Hui Bow Yang Di, meet Dan Sage Ning.”
“Senior Bow is a deacon of the Tai Su Hui Mission Hall.” Yan Ji was afraid that Ning Cheng would not know Bow Yangdi, so he hurriedly whispered.
The Tai Su Market Mission Hall was established by the joint efforts of the major sects of the Tai Su Domain, and since Bow Yangdi was a deacon here, he had obviously learned about Ning Cheng being a Dao Yuan Dan Saint long ago, which was why he was so polite.
In terms of cultivation, Bow Yangdi’s cultivation was far more powerful than Ning Cheng’s, being a Dao Yuan powerhouse. However, whoever knew that in the Tai Su Realm, the status of a Dao Yuan Dan Saint was far stronger than that of a Dao Yuan Saint Emperor.
Ning Cheng hastily clasped his fist, “Ning Cheng has met Senior Bow. Earlier, Daoist Gutless had disrespected my senior sister and was killed by me in a fit of rage, defiling the Great Hall, so I am truly sorry and upset, I am willing to compensate the Great Hall for the loss.”
Ning Cheng’s view was different from others, the strongest were the most respected, if you were even a Dao Yuan Dan Saint, if you didn’t have the cultivation, you were still a slag in front of the Dao Yuan Saint Emperor. It was in this public place that people gave you face, the Dao Yuan Saint Emperor. Once no one is around, who knows that you are a Dao Yuan Dan Saint? Only when one’s strength was strong, even if one did not know how to refine pills, one would not be frightened. This was a point of truth that Ning Cheng naturally distinguished clearly.
Bow Yangdi once again laughed, “A scum like Bow Yangdi, for Dan Sage Ning to kill him would be considered doing a good deed for Tai Su Hui. If Dan Sage Ning looks up to me, don’t call me senior, it’s a blessing for me, Dan Sage Ning, to be friends with him.”
Ning Cheng understood what Bow Yangdi was thinking, after all, he was a Dao Yuan Dan Saint, so it was normal for Bow Yangdi to want to befriend him.
“Then I will call you Brother Bow directly, and Brother Bow can also call me by my name directly.” When Bow Yangdi wanted to befriend Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng naturally would not refuse. One more friend was one more way, not to mention that Bow Yangdi was also a Dao Yuan Saint Emperor who held great power and was practically a land emperor in Tai Su Hui Square. There might be places where he could ask for help from Bow Yangdi in the future.
Having gained the friendship of Ning Cheng, a Dao Yuan Dan Saint, Bow Yang Di was even more comfortable in his heart, “Brother Ning, if you don’t mind, go to my cave and try a new kind of divine spirit tea that I have acquired?”
Ning Cheng clasped his fist, “Brother Bow, I have urgent business to leave for a trip, I can only come and disturb next time.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng seemed to remember something and asked again, “Brother Bow, I want to inquire about the Burying Shadow Blue Sands in Tai Su Ruins, does Brother Bow have a map of this place?”
“Burying Shadow Blue Sands?” Bow Yangdi looked at Ning Cheng in confusion, this place was a dead land.
The Dao of Transformation man who came first suddenly pointed at the Gutless Daoist on the ground who had been finished off by Ning Cheng and said, “Dan Sage Ning, the Gutless Daoist and the Heartless Monk were once chased by a Dao of Transformation Saint Emperor. The two of them later escaped into the Burying Shadow Blue Sands of the Tai Su Ruins and also finished off that Dao Transformation powerhouse at the Burying Shadow Blue Sands.”
Ning Cheng looked down at the Gutless Daoist who had even had his head exploded off, and said to himself that this fellow was so awesome that he was simply taken out by himself in the Mission Hall.
Then Ning Cheng remembered something, he raised his hand and grabbed the Gutless Daoist’s ring, his divine sense swept in and soon grabbed a dozen of map jade slips in the Gutless Daoist’s ring.
Ning Cheng grabbed out these map jade slips, swept his divine sense in and found the map jade slip of the Burial Shadow Blue Sands in a moment. He was overjoyed in his heart, this was really a great success, had this guy come to deliver the map?
However, Ning Cheng soon saw clearly that this map was merely a corner. It might not be of much use to him at all, it was better than nothing.
In the Gutless Daoist’s ring, apart from these map jade slips, there were also a bunch of women’s items, so it was evident how many female cultivators this Gutless Daoist had killed.
Ning Cheng put away the map jade slip and handed the ring to Bow Yangdi and said, “Brother Bow, this ring will be my compensation.”
There was still a bunch of divine crystals inside the ring, so I thought that the compensation should be enough.
This place was a public place after all, even if Bow Yang Di wanted to befriend him Ning Cheng even more, he still had to show a little bit of low-profile sincerity for fighting and destroying things here.
Bow Sheep Flute understood Ning Cheng’s meaning, and he also guessed that Ning Cheng had found what he needed in Sheep Flute’s ring, so he simply took the ring and said, “Good, then we will talk freely after you come.”
Watching Ning Cheng kill the Gutless Daoist in the Mission Hall and leave the Tai Su Hui Mission Hall without any incident at all, he was even invited by the Bow Goat Flute. The cultivators in the Mission Hall all eagerly debated, what kind of backstage did Ning Cheng have? How could he actually turn around in such a magnificent manner?
……
Deep within the Tai Su Ruins, Ning Cheng put away the Starry Sky Wheel, while allowing Yan Ji to enter the True Spirit World.
Even if Yan Ji’s cultivation level was all still there, he would not be able to help in such a place.
The Burial Shadow Blue Sands was one of the five forbidden places in the Tai Su Ruins. For cultivators who came here, no matter how high your cultivation level was, the likelihood of leaving after entering was very small. If a hundred people went in, at most no more than ten would leave. And most of those who left were due to luck.
Therefore, if Daoist Gutless and Monk Heartless could enter the Blue Sands of Burial Shadows and still manage to finish off their opponents and come out, that was definitely the luckiest of luck.
Ning Cheng stood outside the Burying Shadow Blue Sands, and before he even entered, he saw an azure colour that, from afar, looked like an ocean of tumbling waves. Not only was it beautiful, it was also majestic.
Even Ning Cheng’s divine sense could only reach beyond these tumbling sand shadows, and could not penetrate a bit at all. This reminded Ning Cheng of the Mystic Stone Forest in the Tai Su Secret Realm, where he was also wrapped in his divine sense and could not stretch out.
Daoist Gutless’s map of the Burial Shadow Blue Sands was only a corner of the Burial Shadow Blue Sands, such a map could only be taken by chance and was half-useful to Ning Cheng, at least for now.
Just as Ning Cheng was about to enter the Burial Shadow Blue Sand, a white figure landed not far away from Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng’s gaze swept over and it was a woman wearing a white dress. The white skirt outlined her concave and convex body to perfection, the bulge on her chest reaching her waist, cutting a perfect curve. This curve extended backwards again, another perfect curve coming down and finally landing on the pair of calves that were half hidden by the dress.
A mature and seductive womanly flavour caused Ning Cheng’s belly to heat up slightly. Ning Cheng was startled, he was at least a Dao-shaping Saint Emperor, how could he be tempted by a female flavour?
Sucking in a breath, Ning Cheng then realised that the woman still had a white mourning flower on her head, so it was evident that this woman should have just died of a man. This woman’s looks were definitely not considered to be the kind of stunning beauty, yet she was able to be so attractive, it looked like she also practiced a kind of charm technique, otherwise with her own determination it was impossible that she would have been seduced in such a situation.
Ning Cheng withdrew his gaze and did not look at this woman again, he knew that it was not that woman who had intended to tempt him just now.
Seeing Ning Cheng staring and sizing herself up, the woman frowned slightly and did not continue to stay where she was, she instantly rushed into the Burial Shadow Blue Sand and quickly disappeared.
Ning Cheng also did not continue to stay outside, but slowly walked into the Burying Shadow Blue Sand. He had come to the Burial Shadow Blue Sands in search of the Cherry Star Golden Hidden Leaf, and as soon as he found this leaf, he would immediately exit. Even if there were more good things inside the Burying Shadow Blue Sand, he would not stay here.
As soon as he entered the Burial Shadow Blue Sand, Ning Cheng was wrapped in endless blue sand. The blue sand carried a powerful swirling force that almost swept Ning Cheng away.
At this moment Ning Cheng’s divine sense was bound, and only when he sacrificed his divine sense blade or divine sense storm, his divine sense in could stretch out tens of metres. This was too great a drain on his divine sense, and as he had only just entered the Burial Shadow Blue Sand, Ning Cheng did not want to be so consumed. He directly sacrificed the Infinite Blue Thunder City.
The Infinite Blue Thunder City had almost been completely refined by Ning Cheng, and apart from the absence of the artifact spirit, it was no longer much different from a thunderlight city.
Once the Blue Thunder City was sacrificed, the tumbling blue sand around it was blocked by the Blue Thunder City, which made Ning Cheng relaxed, and only then did he have the time to grab a handful of blue sand in his hand and check it out.
The blue sand was just like ordinary sand, apart from the fact that it was blue in colour, there seemed to be no other difference. Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept into the blue sand and was just about to take a closer look at what kind of material these blue sands were made of when the handful of blue sand in his hand suddenly faded into a blur. In just a few breaths, this handful of blue sand disappeared without a trace.
Ning Cheng was amazed as he grabbed a handful of blue sand again, and just like before, these blue sands would disappear in a moment.
What a bizarre Burial Shadow Blue Sand, Ning Cheng secretly marvelled in his heart, this was really the first time he had seen this kind of bizarre sand.
There was nothing around the Burial Shadow Blue Sand other than the tumbling and whistling blue sand, even the ground was clear blue sand.
Ning Cheng went all the way deeper, making some divine sense imprints deep underground along the way. Ten days had passed and Ning Cheng had not seen even a single weed, not to mention seeing the Cherry Star Golden Hidden Leaf.
On the eleventh day, Ning Cheng was carefully identifying his bearings when a faint sound came from the depths of the tumbling blue sand, Ning Cheng could only hear four words, “Echinornumru …… Echinornumru …… ”
And these four words kept screaming over and over again, endlessly. Ning Cheng did not understand the meaning of these four words at all, and he was about to go over and take a look when he saw a cultivator with half of his body missing fleeing from not far away. He had a completely panicked look on his face, as if he had met something terrible.
“Run, the Burial Shadow Demon is coming ……” A hoarse voice rang out in Ning Cheng’s ears, and then Ning Cheng saw a woman with unkempt clothes and a cloaked head brushing past him.
It was the woman in mourning that he had seen before entering the Blue Sands of Burial Shadows, this woman was at least at the cultivation level of the Dao of Transformation, yet she was in such a mess. What kind of terrible thing was this Burial Shadow Demon? How come it kept on screaming ‘Echinornumuru’?
Even though Ning Cheng wanted to know what this thing really was, at this moment he could only follow and flee, he was not confident enough to block a demon that even a Transformation Dao Saint Emperor was afraid of.
