If Ning Cheng was here, he would have immediately surely recognised this cultivator, who was known as King Xiu Xiu.
After Ning Cheng entered the Angry Axe Valley, he did not go much further on the path, when he could see countless corpses along the way. Initially Ning Cheng did not care much about it, as he understood that trying to comprehend the Axe Intent here was a dangerous matter, so for people to fall down dead here was not strange.
However soon Ning Cheng felt that something was not right, the cultivators here mostly died from not being able to comprehend the Axe Intent, but rather seemed that they had died fighting mutually.
Ning Cheng was a bit worried in his heart, although all the people here knew his name, but in the event of if something good appeared. And no one knew who Ning Cheng was, then if there was no one in conflict with him then it would still be ok, but the prerequisite thing would be for a precious thing to not appear. Once a precious thing appeared, then who would care about him being Ning Cheng?
Ning Cheng wanted to hurry and leave this place, but this Axe Valley was unexpectedly very long, even with sweeping out with his Spiritual Consciousness he was unable to locate the end. But fortunately flying through the valley for almost half a day, Ning Cheng finally was able to see a living cultivator.
“My friend, can I ask you if you have seen my companion? Moreover, where did the rest of the people who entered here go?” Ning Cheng directly landed in front of this cultivator and asked.
This cultivator had the cultivation of True Condensation 5th Level, seeing Ning Cheng’s Imposing Manner when he arrived, he knew that he was far from being an opponent to him, as immediately stared at Ning Cheng with an alert expression, as he slowly spoke, “I don’t even know you, so how would I even know who your companion is?”
“Do you not recognize me?” Ning Cheng asked as he frowned.
He had killed the four disciples from the Red Heaven Academy, moreover rejected the invitation from the Wu Nian Academy, so how was it possible for the other people to not know about him?
“I do not recognize you, when the Angry Axe Valley appeared, I and several other companions of mine came here to try and comprehend the Axe Intent. My companions wanted to look for Spiritual Grasses, but I was able to sense a hint of the Axe Intent here, so I stayed behind.” The True Condensation 5th Level cultivator saw Ning Cheng’s face did not have the expression of pretending, so he took the initiative to explain. At the same time, some doubts appeared in his heart, if this person was really powerful or not? But if he was then how could he have not heard of him?
“Were you not there at the Spiritual Grass Hill before coming here?” Ning Cheng asked once again.
This True Condensation Cultivator shook his head and said, “I do not know of these Spiritual Grass Hills that you speak of.”
“I see, thank you.” Saying that, Ning Cheng immediately quickened his pace, as he vanished into the depths of the Axe Valley.
This time he really understood, that the explosion accident that happened in the Angry Axe Valley was definitely not a small accident, this accident had caused this false Axe Valley to be revealed. Because so many cultivators in the Angry Axe Valley saw this Axe Valley, they all entered this Axe Valley with the intent of gaining some insight into the Axe Intent. That True Condensation Cultivator that he saw a moment ago, should have come from another entrance.
After Ning Cheng walked for another two hours, he finally saw Meng Jing Xiu. But this time Meng Jing Xiu was rapidly escaping in his direction, behind her there seemed to be a True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator chasing her.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Ning….” Meng Jing Xiu immediately saw Ning Cheng, and with great happiness, hurried towards Ning Cheng’s side.
That True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator who was pursuing Meng Jing Xiu, seeing that Ning Cheng came over, moreover knew that he was with Meng Jing Xiu, immediately became uncomfortable as he spoke some unhappy words, as he immediately turned around and walked away.
“What is the matter?” Ning Cheng didn’t pursue the cultivator who had already turned around and walked away, and immediately asked Meng Jing Xiu about how she ended up in a conflict with that person. It stood for reason that Meng Jing Xiu’s injuries were already healed, otherwise under normal circumstances she was not a person to end up in a fight with other people.
Meng Jing Xiu eagerly spoke, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, here we found an Ancient Immortal Mansion, moreover this Immortal Mansion appears to be of a peerless expert, and many of the people have already gone in.”
“An Immortal Mansion of a peerless expert? How do you know?” Ning Cheng asked with some doubts.
Meng Jing Xiu quickly spoke, “There was an Array Formation outside the Immortal Mansion, but suddenly for some reason it fell apart. As such some of the Array Flags of the Array Formation were revealed. Do you know what those Array Flags were made of? The lowest quality among them was a Low Level Spiritual Grade Artefact, and they were even a few that were High Level Spiritual Grade Artefacts that were made into Array Flags. But an Essence Building Cultivator from the Feng Continent, was even able to grab a Best Quality Spiritual Grade Artefact that was made into an Array Flag.”
“Best Quality Spiritual Artefact?” Ning Cheng immediately repeated those words in shock.
“It definitely was a Best Quality Spiritual Artefact, moreover this was outside of the Immortal Mansion, also the doorway to the Immortal Mansion exudes an extremely rich Spiritual Qi, so it is obvious that the inside of the Immortal Mansion would also have better things.” Meng Jing Xiu said as her face flushed red.
“Why did that person from a moment ago chase you?” Ning Cheng pointed in the direction that the Late Stage True Condensation Cultivator retreated in and asked.
Meng Jing Xiu quickly spoke, “Many of the True Condensation Cultivators formed teams, of at least three people, that person wanted to draw me in to form a team together with him. But I did not pay attention to him, moreover when that person tried to invite me, I really was not in the mood, and directly said, to go and piss on himself…….”
The following words Meng Jing Xiu really did not need to explain, as Ning Cheng already understood, and as such Meng Jing Xiu also did not need to speak the rest. If you don’t want to go then you could have directly said so, why speak such words? Moreover, such words that could easily offend someone. Moreover, saying those words in such a fierce way.
Seeing Meng Jing Xiu embarrassed, Ning Cheng spoke, “Let us also go and have a look, we have already been here for several days, so how much of the Axe Intent here were you able to comprehend?”
Meng Jing Xiu shook her head, as she took out several Spiritual Grasses and said, “There were many Spiritual Grasses inside, I was also able to find numerous Spiritual Grasses, including the Rainbow Light Grass that Cang Shuo was looking for, but as for the progress with Axe Intent, there simply was no progress in that regard.”

Meng Jing Xiu also did not speak anymore nonsense, as she immediately guided Ning Cheng towards the entrance of that Immortal Mansion, but at this moment there were almost 1,000-2,000 people gathered in front of it. This doorway to the Immortal Mansion had a small plaza in front of it, but even with so many people here, it still not appeared to be crowded.
“Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, I remember that there were much more number of people who entered this place, so how is it possible that there are only these many people here?” Ning Cheng did not think that there were too many people here, on the contrary he felt that there were far too fewer people here.
Meng Jing Xiu pointed towards the front of the temporary plaza and said, “Although this stone door is not obstructing the people, but unless a person does not have a certain strength, they would not be able
to enter, it is similar to the hill that we entered back then, that was blocked by a layer of Killing Intent. But some of the people present here, who understood Array Formations, said that this is not a simple Killing Intent Barrier, but rather a Killing Intent Restriction. Relying on just one’s Imposing Manner would not be enough for a person to go through, moreover the time I have been here was simply too short, and the people who were able to go in all had high cultivations, moreover they all were those who had some understanding towards Restrictions and also some of the Cultivators even displayed some comprehension towards the Axe Intent.”
Ning Cheng nodded, although this stone door was not blocking people, but there was a much more powerful Killing Intent surrounding it compared to the hills they have been at. What Meng Jing Xiu had said was right, this Killing Intent surrounding it was not formed at will unlike the hills, but rather according to certain rules and regulations laid down during the arrangement of the Array Formation.
If it was like this for a long time, then the Killing Intent would have already dissipated, moreover the Restriction here was damaged, otherwise for an ordinary Essence Building Cultivator, even if they formed a team of four people, they wouldn’t be able to go in.
“As for the rest of the people, after probing it out and finding that even by forming teams they would not be able to go in, in the end they all left. Some of them went to other places, while some of the them went into the depths of this Angry Axe Valley.” Meng Jing Xiu said as she pointed to the far end in which this Angry Axe Valley extended.
“Let’s go take a look.” Ning Cheng said, as he already started walking towards this stone door in front of him, at this moment there were four True Condensation Cultivators collaborating to break this Killing Intent Restriction.
Seeing this Ning Cheng simply stood to one side, once these four people gave up, he would then come and try it himself.
These four people were Late Stage True Condensation Cultivators. After eating failure several times, one of them finally lost his patience and resorted to directly using his Magic Weapon to directly blow past it.
“Peng” When this person’s Magic Weapon collided with the open stone door, it issued a muffled ‘Peng’ sound, but the Magic Weapon did not go through the open front door, instead it was rebounded by the Restriction on the front door, and with an even stronger force hit the chest of this cultivator. This cultivator who was hit by his own Magic Weapon tumbled through the air as he spouted out numerous mouthfuls of blood. The cultivators observing from both the sides immediately retreated on seeing what happened to that cultivator. Moreover, more than dozens of people silently departed the square after this scene.
When the three other companions of the cultivator who flew out tumbling saw his state, they also temporarily stepped aside from this stone door.
Just as these four people left the vicinity of the open stone door, Ning Cheng quickly stepped up directly in front of the door, while simultaneously took out his Golden Great Axe.
Some of the people recognized Ning Cheng, and immediately got out of his way. As to the many people who did not know Ning Cheng, they simply secretly shook their heads, wasn’t a guy recently hit with his own Magic Weapon because of the rebound from the Killing Intent as he tried to force open the door injuring him severely. Moreover, this guy also dared to resort to his Magic Weapon to do the same. With this type of Killing Intent Restriction, even a receiving a severe injury would be considered as light.
Ning Cheng did not directly attack. He felt the open door in front of him with his Spiritual Consciousness, and immediately sensed an aspect of the Axe Intent in it. While at the same time he also felt that there was some kind of confinement. This Axe Intent seemed to be bound within the range of this door.
In only a short time, Ning Cheng was already clear, there truly was a Killing Intent Restriction placed here. But because this Killing Intent Restriction was placed many years ago, so its power was not at its full 100%. If this Killing Intent Restriction had even 1/10th of its former power, then he was sure that nobody here would be able to pass through here.
“Get out of the way, I want to go in.” A gruff voice interrupted Ning Cheng’s thoughts.
Ning Cheng turned around and saw three Essence Building Cultivators, and the one who spoke was at Essence Building 5th Level, while his face was very ugly and ferocious looking, and had a sturdy demeanour. Behind him, there was a male and a female cultivator, the male cultivator had a slender frame, with a small white face almost similar to a gigolo, and had the cultivation of Essence Building 6th Level. While that female cultivator was wearing a red dress, and unexpectedly turned out to be an extremely attractive young girl, and similarly had the cultivation of Essence Building 6th Level.
“You can go in, but you will have to wait till I go in, moreover isn’t it always first come first serve.” Ning Cheng flatly said as he saw the three people.
He also stood in line, and only came up after the four people in front of him failed, and only then did he took his turn to come to try and open this restriction. At the moment he had not even started, so since it was already his turn, so why would he even give it to others?
The people nearby seemed to know the origins of these three people, and as a result they soon started to joke among themselves, “This fellow really acts recklessly, he even dares to compete with the people from the White Moon Sword Sect and the Twin Star Academy for an early entry.”
“That young girl should be the White Moon Sword Sect’s He Lian Gu Lan, right? Then beside her should definitely be the Twin Star Academy’s Wu Shu and Zuo Hong Xuan. If they really are those three people, then that person is really courting death.” Some of the nearby people echoed out.
Some of the people who immediately recognised Ning Cheng said while gloating, “Who will die and who will live, you’ll see in a bit, as the strength of the Twin Star Academy and the Red Heaven Academy are really similar.”
“What is the matter? Is this person’s background something great?”
……
“Are you really looking to die? If so then let this father chop you up……” That ugly and ferocious looking cultivator heard Ning Cheng’s words, and immediately flew into rage, he immediately raised his hands, while at the same time a copper gong appeared in his hands.
The red dress wearing girl frowned and said, “Hong Xuan, there is indeed the policy of first come first serve here, after he has tried, it would not be late for us to try again later. Moreover, we just arrived here, if this place was really easy to open, then many of the people would not have left this place.”
When that ugly and ferocious looking man heard the words of this young girl, the anger on his face was immediately replaced with gentleness in just a moment and he spoke, “Since Junior Apprentice Sister Gu Lan had said so, then I will listen to your words.”
Saying that, he immediately angrily called out to Ning Cheng, “It would be better if you moved quickly, we don’t want to waste a lot of time to wait on you.”
Ning Cheng simply did not bother with it and ignored him, as he spoke to Meng Jing Xiu, “Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Jing Xiu, we can go in.”
“Senior apprentice Brother Ning can you really open this?” Meng Jing Xiu asked with surprise.
Ning Cheng showed a faint smile and spoke, “Of course I can.”
Saying that, he lifted his hands as he grabbed one of the Array Flags, while also simultaneously raised the Golden Great Axe in his hand.
“Friends, please wait……” An anxious voice immediately sounded out, which immediately made Ning Cheng’s hands stop.
“Do you have any business with me?” Ning Cheng looked over at this cultivator and asked, this cultivator already had the cultivation of Essence Building 7th Level.
When this cultivator came over, that ugly and ferocious looking cultivator, unconsciously stepped to one side. When he looked at Ning Cheng’s cultivation it appeared very vague, but when he looked at this cultivator he could sa
y without a doubt that he was already at Essence Building 7th Level. Moreover, he himself was only at Essence Building 5th Level, and as such deferred by two levels in strength from that cultivator at Essence Building 7th Level.
In the Yi Xing Mainland, the strong were always respected, moreover this principle was applicable anywhere.
“I have seen you twice before, but you probably do not remember me. The first time was when we were mining together, but at that time I was busy mining myself, and did not have the time to come and greet you. The second time was in front of me when we were trying to seek out Spiritual Grasses on the hills, therefore I am already somewhat already familiar with you.” This Essence Building 7th Level Cultivation was very polite, and talked to Ning Cheng in kind words.
Ning Cheng nodded, the first few words that this man spoke were really polite. At the time he was mining, there was simply no time to greet anyone, moreover everyone disdained each other at that time and personal talk was simply useless between each other at that time. With regards to the former, he had killed four disciples from the Red Heaven Academy, including a cultivator at the Essence Building 7th Level. Moreover, he was also able to break open a passage for himself in the Killing Intent barrier surrounding the hill very easily, it seems that this person also certainly saw it.
Perhaps this person came here in wanting to take advantage of what he had seen in the past, as although the Killing Intent Restriction on this open door was damaged, but without understanding Axe Intent and Restrictions, even if that person was at Essence Building 9th Level, even they would not be able to go in.
The man had just finished, but did not wait for Ning Cheng to speak as he directly took out a Storage Bag as he handed it to Ning Cheng and said, “Here are some of the stones that I collected, why don’t you take a look at them my friend?”
