……
As Kong Peng Peng left, Ning Cheng directly went to his room, and just as he entered his room, he immediately gave out a sigh filled with emotion as he saw that the treatment given to the Pu Bu Island’s cultivator army was truly different. Although he was just an ordinary cultivator participating in the Law’s Way, even then he was given accommodations in one of the largest rooms available, and that too the room was completely for himself.
Ning Cheng first released Grey Toot Toot, and then arranged a simple Shielding Array Formation. Although this room already had a Spiritual Consciousness Shielding Array Formation, Ning Cheng still preferred to arrange his own Shielding Array Formation. He already knew from the mouth of Kong Peng Peng, that a lot of people had already realized that he had killed Wei Peng with the help of Array Formations. As such there was no need, at this moment, to conceal the fact that he was skilled in Array Formations.
Ning Cheng was very much aware that his cultivation level, on this ship, was probably one of the lowest, plus he still had to do a lot of things, as such if there was nothing important, he rarely got out of his room, and just shut himself inside practicing Alchemy. Once in a while would he go out to get some fresh air, and then go to the Spiritual Fruit Cabin to eat some free Spiritual Fruits.
Two months passed by in a flash, which made Ning Cheng feel the power and might of the 9 Continent’s cultivator army. The Jia Continent and the Le Continent were very far away from each other. But during his journey he did not feel even half a bump staying inside the airship. That is to say, during their journey, they were not harassed by even a single monstrous beast. Thinking back to the time when he was in the airship that had transported him from the Hua Continent to the Jia Continent, when they were passing above the Lost Mountain Range, they had to suffer through the attacks from the many monstrous beasts which had almost threatened to crash the airship into the Lost Mountain Range.
As this airship came to a stop, Ning Cheng followed the rest of the cultivators down the airship, only to discover that the airship was parked on an incomparable huge plaza.
Ning Cheng had seen the Mo Ze Grand Plaza. However, the Mo Ze Grand Plaza compared to this one, would only occupy a single corner. In front of this plaza, Ning Cheng saw a few huge golden words, ‘Dragon and Phoenix 9 Star Academy’.
Not to mention that this was just the entrance of the Dragon and Phoenix 9 Star Academy, if one just looked at the few huge golden characters, it would give the people a feeling of a passionate restlessness, moreover the Spiritual Qi present here on the plaza was a lot many times richer and superior in quality than even General Kong Peng Peng’s Mansion.
Although Ning Cheng in his mind was sighing darkly but his heart was full of praise. After all, this was just the entrance of a 9 Star Academy, this kind of mighty imposing manner created by this kind of rich atmosphere, would immediately instigate a feeling of deep admiration in any person laying their eyes on it.
Kong Peng Peng came forward and spoke to Ning Cheng, “The 9 Continent’s cultivator army will gather here in a month to enter the Law’s Way, during this month, you can basically do whatever you want. But you will have to pay attention to your own safety, this is not the Pu Bu Island, as such there are some things that even I wouldn’t be able to help you with.”
Saying that, he feared that Ning Cheng would be worried, so he also supplemented another sentence, “The Dragon and Phoenix 9 Star Academy is one of the three largest Academies of the Le Continent, as such ordinary people will not dare to make trouble here. You also have the Jade Card to participate in the Law’s Way, as such you are free to access the Dragon and Phoenix Academy. Even if you want to live inside the Dragon and Phoenix Academy for the time being, they would permit it for you because of it.”
“I understand, General Kong you can freely go ahead and take care of your things.” Ning Cheng quickly replied. He had initially thought that the cultivators who came from the Pu Bu Island would be given a unified accommodation, but he did not expect that they would be allowed to be scattered and free.
But he also thought of another thing, that is if a cultivator participating in the Law’s Way was killed before they even entered the Law’s Way, then it also showed that they were not qualified for the Law’s Way.
Kong Peng Peng was very assured over Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng’s behaviour on the airship made it clear that he was not the kind of person who liked to make trouble wherever he went.
Kong Peng Peng along with a bunch of other Soul Essence Cultivators from the Pu Bu Island left soon, after the airship from the Pu Bu Island delivered Ning Cheng and the rest, it also departed quickly. As for the participants from the Pu Bu Island that came for the Law’s Way, or even the other cultivators that had just came to see the Le Continent, each and every one dispersed in all directions filled with excitement.
Although the Pu Bu Island was mainly occupied by the Jia Continent’s cultivator army, but the cultivators from there did not bring out their valiant aura, not because they were from an Intermediate Class Continent, but rather because they wanted to be low key.
Ning Cheng had not been a part of the Pu Bu Island for a long time, and he also lacked presence in the barracks, so for the Military Officers present here, he did not recognize any of them. Although these cultivator army officers can go to the Law’s Way, but not even a single one of them was not without a significant strength backing them, as such no one would try to curry favour with Ning Cheng, who although was a Junior Commander, but was only an Essence Building Cultivator in the end.
After the others left, Ning Cheng planned to go look at the Dragon and Phoenix Academy. One could say that he knew a person from the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, while they may not necessarily be friends, but they also cannot be regarded as enemies. That was because in the Angry Axe Valley, he and Cui Niepeng had a duel with each other in which he was the one who profited.
Ning Cheng of course would not go look for Cui Niepeng, he wanted to go explore the 9 Star Academy and see what made it so different from the other common Academies.
As he got closer to the entrance of the 9 Star Academy, Ning Cheng could feel the increasingly rich Spiritual Qi. Ning Cheng immediately understood that there was definitely a Grand Spiritual Gathering Array set up around it. But as to the other Array Formations surrounding the Dragon and Phoenix 9 Star Academy, even if Ning Cheng wanted to sense them, there was no way to perceive them at all, not to mention that he could not even see the markings of the Array Formations.
Small groups of cultivators, in threes and fours, walked across from Ning Cheng as they entered through the entrance of the Academy, Ning Cheng could clearly feel a faint trace of blood emanating from them along with a killing aura. These people that entered the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, definitely were the disciples of this Academy, but these people also had a bloody killing aura around them, it was obvious that they had just returned from the outside after training themselves and gaining a lot of experience.
This also showed that the people dispatched from a 9 Star Academy were clearly different from the ones from the smaller and ordinary Academies. Ning Cheng remembered that although Ruimu Danqin was a Core Disciple of the God Wind Academy but she was fiercely protected by them, while the disciples in front of them were coming in from all direction after gaining experience from the trainings outside.
Ning Cheng casually swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness, and found that a majority of the cultivators among them had the cultivation of Essence Building Realm, and only an extremely few of them were in True Condensation Realm, there were even a few Profound Congealing Cultivators mixed in them.
“Excuse me, this Senior Apprentice Brother, do you know the place of residence of Jia Lingwei of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy?” A questioning voice interrupted Ning Cheng’s observation.
Ning Cheng then looked at a young girl in front of him, she had a baby face that had yet to fully mature, but combined with a pair of long eyelashes and big eyes, it
made her look very cute. But at this moment Ning Cheng was really surprised, looking at this small girl in front of him, who absolutely did not even look like a teenager, he found that she was already a Profound Congealing 1st Level Cultivator, moreover there was also no one else by her side.
Seeing Ning Cheng look at her, the girl gave a sweet smile and spoke, “I am Zhangsun Yan from Feng Continent’s Wu Yun Academy, and a friend of Elder Sister Lingwei. I have come here to participate in the Law’s Way, and to specifically meet Elder Sister Lingwei, can you please take me to find Elder Sister Lingwei, please?”
Ning Cheng looked at that young girl who was even younger than Ruimu Danqin, and couldn’t help but speak up with some uncertainty, “You are just slightly older than a child, yet still want to take part in the Law’s Way?”
“This Senior Apprentice Brother, I am definitely not small at all. This Senior Apprentice Brother, if you do not have the time, just tell me where is Elder Sister Lingwei’s residence is, I will find it on my own.” Zhangsun Yan’s tone was still very sweet, it showed that she was raised in a good way.
Ning Cheng spoke in an apologetical manner, “I’m sorry, it is also the first time for me to enter the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, I simply do not know who Jia Lingwei is.”
“Yan Yan, how can you come here alone?” A surprised voice sounded out, as Ning Cheng saw three women coming over.
But when he saw the girl waking in the middle with a veil covering her face, wearing a purple robe, he almost turned around to run away. This was the same woman from the Wu Nian Academy that he had rescued before. After being seen by that woman, how could he still have good fruit to eat? This woman was someone who would not even listen to his explanation.

But this time, he really did have a bit of a guilty conscience. Ning Cheng darkly sighed on his bad luck, while also lamented the good fortune of not being a part of a large academy. When he had last seen this purple robed woman, at that time she was only at the True Condensation Realm. And now that they had met yet again, she had already advanced all the way up to Essence Building 5th Level, a full level above him, and it was all done in just less than a year.
Obviously when he had met this purple robed woman initially in the Angry Axe Valley, she was originally at the True Condensation Realm, and had not at all advanced in her cultivation, however as for the good fortunes that she accumulated inside that place, it was something that he did not know. Moreover, the imposing manner of a large Academy was simply too different from his own. For him, if he wanted to advance to the next level in the Essence Building Realm then he would have to patiently wait and seize the moment himself, who knows when the next moment would arrive, but for people like them, from the large Academies, when did they ever need to wait?
“Elder Sister Lingwei……” Zhangsun Yan immediately became joyful as she rushed up and immediately hugged the woman in the front of the group.
“It’s you?” The purple robed woman saw Ning Cheng, and an angry flame immediately started burning in her eyes.
“Nalan Ruxue, what’s going on?” The red robed woman standing at the end found something amiss, and immediately asked.
Ning Cheng did not wait for this purple robed woman named Nalan Ruxue to speak up, and by his own initiative cupped his fists and spoke, “Jia Continent’s cultivator army’s Ning Cheng greets several Senior Apprentice Sisters.”
He first immediately stated his identity as a person from the cultivator army, generally the cultivator army of the 9 Continents held a certain respect and offered a certain security. If there was no special reason, ordinary cultivators were simply unwilling to offend the people from the cultivator army.
When the few women heard Ning Cheng say that he was from the cultivator army, they looked at him with wondering eyes, but Zhangsun Yan cried out with excitement, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Cheng, you are from the cultivator army, ah, did you fight against the Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivator army? Since there were many people fighting together, was the great war fun? I heard that there were even Spirit Stone Cannons, and they are incomparably powerful, have you looked at those things?”
Ning Cheng quickly spoke up, “Junior Apprentice Sister Zhangsun’s demand to hear about the war with the Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivator army, of course, I would definitely be able to speak to you about it in detail. But before that, I would like to explain to Senior Apprentice Sister Ruxue about the reason for the last time……”
The purple robed woman’s cultivation was a little higher than himself, but Ning Cheng was afraid that she would immediately call her perverted Daoist Priestess of a master, as such calling her as ‘Senior Apprentice Sister’ and not as ‘little sister’ would not decrease a piece of meat from him. But if she really called for her master, then he did not have a second Blood Escaping Talisman.
“If you dare to wag your tongue randomly, I will chop you into fine meat……” The purple robed woman’s hate filled voice transmission immediately interrupted Ning Cheng’s words.
“If you do not go look for your master, then I will also promise that I will not talk any nonsense about this. Even though you are so ungrateful, I will not hold it against you, but everyone here had not seen what had happened and as such I can definitely make an educated guess that they do not know about this.” Ning Cheng knew why this purple robed woman did not want him to speak up, she feared a slip of tongue from his part, and thought that he would simply blather about it with his loose lips.
However, he was not so bored that he would blabber about such things to others. But what Ning Cheng found strange was that this purple robed woman’s temper should not be this good. Going by the last time she got angry, she should have taken care of him the first time she laid her eyes on him, rather than stand and speak with him at present.
Ning Cheng, of course, did not know that this purple robed woman’s heart was entangled at present, she had even specifically asked about such a thing from Yue Ying. Although there was no direct way to say that Ning Cheng had touched her chest, but she had vaguely hinted and said that Ning Cheng had wanted to take liberties with her.
“Senior Apprentice Sister Ruxue. You are definitely wrong about Big Brother Ning. Big Brother Ning is not that kind of a person, I and Big Brother Ning had lived together for almost a full year in the same room, as such you can even say that I know him the best amongst us. If he really was such a person, then I would have already been his ……”
“Senior Apprentice Sister Ru Xue, before I also had heard people say that Big Brother Ning is not a good person, and even I had badly misunderstood him initially. However, during the time that I had stayed together with him, I realized that he was definitely not such a person that the others had made him out to be, please believe in Big Brother Ning. Perhaps it was because of some other reason at that time, which had made you misunderstand Big Brother Ning.”
“Big Brother Ning always says that sometimes what we see with our own eyes is not always the truth. I had never understood this truth before, but after Big Brother Ning explained it to me, I finally understood it……”
Although Yue Ying kept tossing out whatever was going on in her mind over and over again. But she hardly understood the thoughts that Yue Ying was trying to convey to her. Yue Ying had progressed very rapidly in the Wu Nian Academy, and although she was young but her behaviour was completely rational, serene and also very mature. Moreover, from her words she could make out that she had a kind of kinship with this Ning Cheng, and as such a girl like her logically would not lie about such a thing. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t come up with any valid reason why Ning Cheng’s hand was on her chest.
Even if it was to check for injuries, or to help her heal, h
e could have checked from anywhere else, why her chest? Other than Ning Cheng being a shameless bully in a darkroom, she really could not find a good explanation for it.
But also because of Yue Ying, she did not immediately fight it out with Ning Cheng the moment she laid her eyes on him.
The rest of the few women present there were quite smart, they had already noticed that there was something wrong between Ning Cheng and Nalan Ruxue.
The one who was called Elder Sister Lingwei by Zhangsun Yan gave a natural looking smile towards Ning Cheng and spoke, “I am called Jia Lingwei, since you and Yan Yan know each other, and she is also one of my close friends, if you don’t mind it, then why don’t you come with us to have a chat back at my place?”
Jia Lingwei did not know what kind of relationship Ning Cheng had with Zhangsun Yan, as when she had met him, Zhangsun Yan had spoken as if she knew Ning Cheng from a long time before, although it was like that, only after speaking to him would she come to fully understand it. So out of courtesy, she had ended up inviting Ning Cheng.
Moreover, the way Jia Lingwei spoke, it was full of gentleness, and had a mature charm to it with a touch of rationality, combined with her delicate looks, any person who heard it would feel extreme comfort well up in them.
Also this Jia Lingwei’s cultivation was also not low, as she had the cultivation of Profound Congealing 7th Level, it simply exceeded Ning Cheng’s by too much.
Ning Cheng had just wanted to refuse the invitation, when that girl who was similar in age to Yue Ying clapped and spoke, “Good, I also want to hear from Senior Apprentice Brother Ning about the war between the cultivator armies. After I come out from the Law’s Way, I intend to go the cultivator army to have a look at it.”
Ruxue frowned slightly, she had a foreboding that Ning Cheng seem to have a special effect on little girls. For example, Wu Nian Academy’s Ruimu Danqin and Yue Ying, both of them worshipped Ning Cheng, and can even be said to be somewhat dependent on him, then there was even Zhangsun Yan. Was it because of his Cultivation Method that he cultivated in? Thinking of this, Ruxue immediately used her Spiritual Consciousness to carefully scrutinize Ning Cheng.
