Ning Cheng fell onto the ground, and had already appeared at the underside of the Blood River Peak.
“Finally was able to come out.” Ning Cheng sighed; the transfer array seemed to be working. In his heart, he really did not understand why Yan Ji had once again fallen to the bottom of the Blood River. Did Yan Ji also wanted to collect the Blood River Red Lotus, and as a result once again fell into the river for a second time? Even if she fell in, why would she try to deduce the Array Formation? Didn’t she not know that she would only end up losing herself in it?
Ning Cheng shook his head, and put these thoughts aside. He did not immediately leave this place, but rather continued to harvest the Blood River Red Lotuses, with the experience of falling into the Blood River; Ning Cheng believed that combined with the virtue of his current cultivation and alertness, he would never fall in for the second time.
Three days later, Ning Cheng, along with dozens of Blood River Red Lotuses, left the Blood River Mountains. The next time even if he wanted to come back, he would only come here after finding the Heavenly Cusp Flower. Otherwise, even if he came here later, it would be meaningless.
There were no more people outside the Blood River Mountains, there was not even a trail left behind by the cultivators, apparently these cultivators had already entered the depths of the Second Segment of the Law’s Way.
In order to avoid letting everyone know that he was Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng once again changed his appearance back to what it was originally. After all, being named as a Devil Cultivator was not nice at all; at least it would only be detrimental for him in the present situation.
Glancing at his back, that had Yan Ji on it, Ning Cheng felt a bit helpless. He did not know when Yan Ji would sober up. Before Yan Ji sobering up, he could only be together with her as he went through the Law’s Way. He put Yan Ji down, while at the same time unsealed the Restrictions he placed on Yan Ji’s body and spoke to Yan Ji, “Wherever I go, you just follow me, do not run around, understand?”
Contrary to what Ning Cheng expected, Yan Ji actually nodded, it was clear that she understood what Ning Cheng meant.
Ning Cheng was feeling quite happy in his heart, looking at the way Yan Ji was acting, it was clear that little by little her consciousness was finally showing signs of waking up. As long as it continued like this, then maybe in a few days she would have fully sobered up.
Ning Cheng started looking for some spiritual grasses in the Law’s Way, and occasionally would go in secluded cultivation to continue with his Alchemy and Talisman refining. As for going into seclusion for practising cultivation, Ning Cheng never thought of it, although he still had around a million Spirit Stones on him, but Ning Cheng knew that even this much amount of Spirit Stones would not have much impact on his cultivation practise.
If had not encountered the Heaven Opening Talisman before, then he had no way to advance to the Profound Congealing 7th Level. After advancing to the Profound Congealing 7th Level, his Core Lake had actually become thicker, and even more substantial. However, relatively speaking, the True Essence in the Core Lake had still not yet taken a definite shape, so much so that it did not seem to have even filled up by even a half.
Ning Cheng was already a rogue cultivator from before, although he had the Mysterious Yellow Bead, but he did not have any teacher to receive guidance. In his opinion for him to form his Profound Core successfully, it was necessary to fill up the Core Lake completely. It was quite similar in process to the advancement from the Essence Building Realm to the Profound Congealing Realm, only needing True Essence to circulate through the meridians and Dantian that would then form an embryo of the Core Lake.
However, according to his current progress, even if he practiced cultivation all the way to the Profound Congealing 9th Level, he would not be able to advance to the Profound Core Realm. Ning Cheng was sure that even if he cultivated to the Profound Congealing 9th Level, completely filling up his Core Lake was still a very distant dream. As his cultivation rose constantly, his Core Lake was also increasingly congealing while at the same time becoming even larger, as such it was also becoming increasingly difficult for him to fill up his Core Lake.
If he only increased just for the sake of advancement, then what function did it even have? Ning Cheng decided to earnestly go out and search of more resources for his cultivation practice. As long as he was able to procure enough resources to fill up his Core Lake during his cultivation practice, then he would immediately attack the realm to the Profound Core.
With Ning Cheng’s cultivation, and the plenty of experience he gained inside the Second Segment of the Law’s Way, in just a few months’ time, he had harvested piles of Spiritual Grasses and quite a good amount of Spiritual Fruits. Although he put himself in danger several times, but he was always able to escape with his Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings. Not only that, the more he used his Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings the more skilful he became with its application. After encountering danger several times, he could already use to the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings to such an extent that his speed could even be described as if he was teleporting.
This kind of movement was actually not a Teleportation Magical Technique, rather it was because of completely stimulating the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings in the shortest possible time, which allowed him to disappear from the spot in a near instantaneous moment.
Yan Ji had still not completely come out of her lost state, but when compared to the time when they had just come out from the bottom of the Blood Rover, she was much better. Whether it was in the nature of female cultivators or not, but at least she used to occasionally use the Dust Removal Technique on herself and even calm down her spirits.
What made Ning Cheng even more relieved was that after they left the bottom of the Blood River, she did not seem to be under the shackles of that kind of huge array, he could affirm that at least Yan Ji was not trying to deduce the Array Formation. However, she did not speak at all, and did not practice cultivation, or even try to look for spiritual grasses.
Ning Cheng was afraid that if this went for a long time, then it would adversely affect her recovery. Because of which he deliberately called out Grey Toottoot and let her hold him.
The small world inside the ring was badly damaged, but after Ning Cheng refined this dilapidated small world, he began to organize the inside. Bringing in many Spiritual Grasses, he immediately began transplanting them into his small world. In order to make the small world even more beautiful, Ning Cheng even put in many Rank 1 Spiritual Grasses. He even moved in many plants and flowers that were not spiritual grasses into the small world.
Originally, the small world was incomparably desolate looking. Nevertheless, because of Ning Cheng’s efforts, it gradually became verdant and filled with vitality.
……
A year passed by in a fleeting instant, during this time Ning Cheng’s cultivation did not increase by even a little; Yan Ji’s cultivation was also the same and did not increase at all. Yan Ji and Ning Cheng formed a sort of tacit understanding with each other, when Ning Cheng went out to collect spiritual grasses, she and Grey Toottoot would stay behind and wait in a safe place. Moreover, Ning Cheng had even taken the initiative to refine a few Array Discs that could be used by just throwing them out.
When it was time for Ning Cheng to leave, she would recall the Array Discs back and once again follow behind Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng now completely did not need to call out to her.
At this point, Ning Cheng discovered that the more he moved forwards, the less spiritual grasses were available, even his Spiritual Consciousness was growing increasingly weak as if it was being suppressed by something, he guessed that it was because he coming to the end of the Second Segment of the Law’s Way.
This day, his Spiritual Consciousness swept past a simple yet extremely crude kind of makeshift city. Ning Cheng was wondering in his heart, if it was that difficult to come out of the Law’s Way?
Seeing this makeshift city, he immediately was able to see even more
cultivators roaming about, Ning Cheng quickened his place, he wanted to go and ask another cultivator about this.
“Senior Apprentice Sister Ji…..” A cry of surprise erupted from behind him. A moment later the owner of this voice seemed to have discovered Ning Cheng, and immediately once again cried out in surprise, “You are Senior Apprentice Brother Cheng?”
“So it was originally you ah, Ji Tingting.” Ning Cheng immediately recognized this female cultivator. When he had just entered the Law’s Way, Ji Tingting was also a part of the team he was in.
“What’s wrong with Senior apprentice Sister Ji?” Ji Tingting’s attention was completely focused on Yan Ji’s body; apparently, her care for Yan Ji was far beyond what she cared for Ning Cheng.
After a couple of years, at this time she was already a Profound Congealing 3rd Level Cultivator.
“Junior Apprentice Sister Ji had met a small accident, but it should not be anything big. Therefore, if you can lead me to look for the rest of the people of the Blue Cloud Academy, then I would be able to explain the situation to them. By the way, what is going on here, how did you guys form a makeshift city here?” Ning Cheng and Yan Ji had been together for a long time; as such, he could feel that Yan Ji was slowly improving. Although this process was very slow, but she would definitely be able to recover.
Ji Tingting was still puzzlingly glancing at Yan Ji, she simply did not answer Ning Cheng’s question, instead she quickly spoke up, “I will go find Senior Apprentice Brother Xu Ang and Senior Apprentice Brother Yan Xin to come over…..”
Looking at Ji Tingting’s retreating figure, Ning Cheng frowned, he immediately pulled another Intermediate Stage Profound Congealing Cultivator to the side and asked, “Friend, although there is this makeshift city in front of us, but why does it feel like it is blocking the front?”
This cultivator was just about to attack him, but then he felt that Ning Cheng’s cultivation was far higher than his own, so he quickly replied, “This place here is the real entrance to the Law’s Way. To enter the Law’s Way you will have to enter through the front, once you pass through this Law’s Way, you will then be able to enter the Third Segment, and from there you will have more than 80% chance of getting out of this place. However, if you cannot pass through the Law’s Way, then you can only wait here, and look for opportunities. All the people present here are the ones who could not pass through the Law’s Way…..”
This cultivator had not yet finished his words, when Ning Cheng heard a burst of furious yells, “Kill that Devil Cultivator……”

“The one surnamed Cheng, Senior Apprentice Sister Ji in order to help you, had allowed you to join the team, yet you ended up being such a shameless person, that caused Senior Apprentice Sister Ji to lose her sanity…..” A woman angrily cried out.
Ning Cheng recognized this woman; her name was Huo Miaojing. In the beginning, she was also in the same team as he.
As this female cultivator’s voice had just fallen, Ning Cheng immediately saw Xu Ang, who was also the person who shouted the words ‘kill that Devil Cultivator’. This person was the first to speak those words, and yet he was the one walking towards him while keeping himself in the rear of the crowd.
Ning Cheng held his cupped fists and spoke, “It seems that everyone here has misunderstood me, Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji had met a little accident, fortunately I was able to save her, and was able to bring her to this place.”
Xu Ang gave a sneer and spoke, “What kind of accident did Junior Apprentice Sister Ji meet? What could have allowed her to lose her sanity? You think we would just go ahead and believe your words. Surnamed Cheng, I have heard about you, you obviously are a Profound Core Master, yet choose to pretend to be a cultivator with a weaker cultivation, just to gain sympathy from others, and then gain advantages from it.”
“I also am aware of the fact that at the time when we were just entering the Second Segment of the Law’s Way, this person had plundered the wealth accumulated by dozens of Profound Core Cultivators there. However, looking back at it now it also seems that this person has a deep and scheming heart. He not only plundered everyone’s things, but also made it such that the other people ended up being grateful to him. Today, we will definitely tear off his disguise to take a look.” A Profound Core Cultivator stood out and spoke in a cold voice.
Ning Cheng had seen this man before, but he did not know the name of this cultivator who had just spoken, but he was definitely aware that he was one of the people he had inadvertently ended up rescuing at that time.
“Whether it is true or false, Zhangsun Yan and Nalan Ruxue would know about it. I think that they should also be in this place, why don’t you call them out and verify it with them.” As Ning Cheng looked, more and more cultivators were starting to appear, moreover there were even many Profound Core 9th Level Cultivators joining in. As such, he realized that today might be a bit difficult for him.
If Nalan Ruxue and Zhangsun Yan were here, then they would have already come out. Ning Cheng himself knew that he would not be able to explain how he was able to get out from the bottom of the Blood River. Besides, even if he could, he did not want to expose this matter anyways.
“You already knew that they have already passed through the Second Segment of the Law’s Way, so how will they even speak?” After Xu Ang finished speaking in disdain, the immediately turned around as he faced the dozens of Profound Core Cultivators as he cupped his fists and spoke, “Fellow Senior Apprentice Brothers and Senior Apprentice Sisters, this man is very cunning and deceitful, and kills people like flies, moreover is even a Devil Cultivator. But before that, he was able to gather a huge amount of Spirit Stones, in my estimation, there should be at least 10 million or more……”
Ning Cheng had clearly seen that just before that Xu Ang spoke that he was a Devil Cultivator, those Profound Core Cultivators just exposed a hint of sneer at the corners of their mouths. However, when they heard him say that he had millions of Spirit Stones on him, a kind of insanity immediately erupted in their eyes.
“For such a shameless scum, why is there a need to stay, let’s all attack him together.” A Profound Core 9th Level Cultivator immediately uttered an insane and drunk cry, while simultaneously bringing out his magic weapon and locking onto Ning Cheng. If not for him hearing that Ning Cheng, being just a single person, was able to kill dozens of Profound Core Cultivators all by himself, he would have directly went up against him.
Just as this Profound Core Cultivator spoke, the majority of the cultivators all around him immediately brought out their magical weapons, as they slowly spread themselves out, wanting to surround Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, there were more than a hundred Profound Core Cultivators in this place, as for ones at Profound Core 9th Level there were already more than 20. If these more than twenty Profound Core 9th Level Cultivators ended up surrounding him, then even if it were he, he would not be able to escape unscathed.
For these cultivators to be in this place, it clearly showed that these cultivators originally were not able to progress any more in this Second Segment. Even if he possessed a Level 6 Puppet, he was aware that as long as several Profound Core 9th Level Cultivators were able to pin it down, the rest of the people here could easily get rid of him.
In such a battle, his lousy Level 6 Puppet would not be much use unless he had another Broken Core Pearl.
Ning Cheng seeing that dozens of Profound Core Cultivators were almost finished surrounding him, immediately made the decision that is ‘to walk the talk’.
He immediately hacked out with his True Cosmic Devil Axe, blasting out with millions of tiny Axe Lines as if it was a bolt of thunder. Even the space around him had become completely chaotic
. A huge number of Profound Congealing Cultivators who were rushing towards Ning Cheng, under this Axe Line, were cut down and ground to dust. In this moment, Ning Cheng immediately activated his Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings, and instantly disappeared from there as if he had teleported.
“What kind of magic technique is this?” A Profound Core 9th Level Cultivator looked at the spot from where Ning Cheng disappeared, and spoke out in a frightened voice. Ning Cheng with the help from the True Cosmic Devil Axe coupled with his True Essence had created chaos, and then immediately used the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings, as such only a very few cultivators were able to realize this while the rest of the people were simply not aware of this.
As for that handful of cultivators who realized that Ning Cheng had used the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings, they were trembling with excitement; they knew that they absolutely could not leak out this secret. As long as they were able to kill this individual cultivator with the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings, then that Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings would immediately belong to them.
Ning Cheng had not taken Yan Ji away, Yan Ji already had so many of her Senior Apprentice Brother and Senior Apprentice Sisters here, as such he did not need to be continuously worried about her at this moment. Moreover he also knew that Yan Ji would sober up naturally if given enough time, as such when she woke up she naturally would be able to realize what had happened. Moreover, he was also a bit too late in trying to take back Grey Toottoot, but he did not worry too much about it, with Yan Ji’s qualifications, she absolutely would be able to enter the Third Segment of the Law’s Way. At that time, he would then go find Yan Ji and ask about it.
Ning Cheng did not go far, since he knew that he would eventually have to cross this Second Segment of the Law’s Way, as such he would certainly not try to escape too far.
