When Lu Fei heard Ning Cheng’s words, he immediately hesitated. This Central Array Diagram was not something that he had actually found in the Law’s Way. Rather his father was the one who had found it somewhere else, and then passed it over to him. He was well aware that he would never be able to rest in peace once he handed it over to this Sikong Kai.
As Ning Cheng took in his reaction, he gave a rather bright smile and spoke, “Elder Brother Lu, you seem to be covered in a lot of ink, it seems that red light would soon cleave you apart. Compared to one’s small life, what is the use of keeping such a thing on you? Just look at how Chai Chudie is doing, she has even voluntarily stripped off her clothes and is just waiting for me to take care of this business, and yet here you are, the one who truly does not want to behave with integrity. While you continue with your inking, I am the one who would have to take care of people’s business. Besides, I am just a Profound Congealing Cultivator, so you don’t have anything to worry about.”
“Pa Ta..” a sound emerged, as a jade piece fell at Lu Fei’s feet, as Lu Fei also immediately spoke up in a laborious manner, “This is the jade piece you wanted, but I don’t have the ability to send it over to you, you should quickly make a move, I would not be able to support myself for long……”
Ning Cheng just made a beckoning motion, and that jade piece immediately flew up and landed on his palm, but before he had the time to look the contents of the jade piece, both of them heard a cold but loud shout from Chai Chudie, “Go and die for me……”
In just an instant, the remaining True Essence in Chai Chudie’s body immediately burst out, the speed of that red light also accelerated all of a sudden, and almost in just an instant submerged itself in between Lu Fei’s eyebrows.
Lu Fei’s eyes flashed with a trace of despair, as he roared, “Then let’s die together….”
Gritting with pain, he brought out a small bead, which was oozing with an extremely violent aura, this bead had not even burst open, yet an extremely terrifying aura of destruction was crazily spreading out from it.
“Broken Core Pearl…..” Ning Cheng’s face immediately changed. He had previously used this kind of bead; just a single bead was more than enough to wipe out seven or eight late stage Profound Core Cultivators. Even if he had heaven defying abilities, it would be difficult even for him to escape from the range of the Broken Core Pearl’s explosion. If it were any other place than the one he in, he would definitely be able to use his Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings to escape easily. However, the special space he was in was very small; he would not be able to escape in a short period.
“Broken Core Pearl.” Chai Chudie also blurted out; even her voice was trembling uncontrollably as she spoke. The next moment, she unexpectedly brought out a Talisman out of thin air, clutching it tightly between her hands.
Crushing the Talisman, she disappeared with a flash of red light, while at the same time, a white ray of light that was even faster than the one before, shot out towards Ning Cheng.
What a vicious woman
, not only did she use an Escape Talisman in order to escape from this place, she also did not forget to send out a killing strike against him. This was even after knowing perfectly well that, once caught up, he would undoubtedly die in the explosion of the Broken Core Pearl. With this, as to how much thinking had this woman given to killing him, was something that was quite clear.
Nevertheless, at this time, Ning Cheng did not have the time to think about it carefully, he knew that if he hesitated for even half a moment, he would not even need to think about it ever again. At this moment, apart from going through the door that he had crashed open, the stone door with crisscrossing lightning, he did not have any place to escape.
At this time, Ning Cheng did not hesitate and immediately wielded the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings to dodge the white light from Chai Chudie as he immediately stormed through the stone door with crisscrossing lightning. If he had to go through the Stone Door, then at most he would only have to resist the lightning strikes for some time and then come out, by that time the explosive aura from the Broken Core Pearl would have already dissipated.
Just at the moment that he went in, he was able to see, with the help of his Spiritual Consciousness, Lu Fei finally torn apart into two halves by the attack from Chai Chudie, who had already escaped. In just a tiny fraction of a moment, an extremely horrifying explosion rang out, at which point he was no longer able to see anything with his Spiritual Consciousness.
Fortunately, Ning Cheng had not forgotten where he had entered, although he had not come to this place before, he knew that the lightning arcs that crisscrossed inside here were as thick as thumbs. Therefore, the first thing that Ning Cheng did as he rushed through that stone door was to cast out his 36 Profound Ice Spear. He had to at try to survive until the explosion from the Broken Core Pearl had dispersed before he could go out.
But Ning Cheng immediately became shocked as he put away his own Profound Break Spear, as just now he had discovered that the thumb thick lightning arcs that were crisscrossing inside had long since disappeared, and there was only one thing remaining apart from the stone door. It was a cyan coloured stone ball with a diameter of about half a meter, moreover this stone ball did not have any support to it, and was suspended in air about 1 meter above the ground.
On the surface of this cyan coloured stone ball, there were flashes of lightning that seem to cover its entire outer surface, and with just a look, one could immediately tell that it contained a terrifying Thunder Origin Aura inside it.
Earlier when he was outside, he could only feel a somewhat familiar yet extremely vague tugging in his heart, but when Ning Cheng came inside at this time, he immediately came to realize that this tugging in his heart was actually because of a trace of resonance that seemed to be originating from the Mysterious Yellow Origin.
Did this cyan coloured stone ball really have Origin Aura contained within it? Could it be possible that it was the Thunder Attributed Origin?
Ning Cheng recalled the Water Origin Bead that he had acquired from the bottom of that seemingly ordinary river, and about the words spoken by that skeleton at the bottom of the blood river. He now knew that the Mysterious Yellow Bead needed five different kinds of Origins before it could form its own world. If this really was the Thunder Attributed Origin, then once he sent this Thunder Origin to his bead, then wouldn’t he only be missing three more?
Ning Cheng immediately became excited in his heart, as he immediately sent out his spiritual sense towards this huge cyan coloured ball. He wanted to send this cyan stone ball into his Mysterious Yellow Bead.
However, what made him greatly disappointed was that even though there was a slight trace of resonance between this cyan coloured stone ball and his Mysterious Yellow Origin, he was actually not able to force it into the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Not only could he not send it in, there was even a vague sort of power seemed to reject Ning Cheng’s subduing.
This Thunder Origin was not something that he can send into the Mysterious Yellow Bead; Ning Cheng immediately came to a realization.

Ning Cheng, for the first time, swept his Spiritual Consciousness into the jade strip clutched in his hand, which he had just taken out. This jade strip in all respects looked very ordinary and simple, but this was actually the ancient jade slip that had come from Lu Fei just before he died. This contained the Central Array Diagram for the Thunder Domain City’s Refining Array Formation. At this moment, he wanted to study it thoroghly to find out what it actually did.
An ancient aura that seem to have originated from time immemorial and was quite similar to the aura spreading out from the Thunder Domain City immediately hit him. Ning Cheng, almost in
an instant, realized that the ancient jade strip in his hand was the real thing; this kind of aura was simply that cannot be manufactured or created artificially.
However, this jade strip seemed to be incomplete, but even with such a case, Ning Cheng was still able to extrapolate a fuzzy meaning regarding the missing parts when he looked at it. The jade strip also recorded the particular method of walking around in the Thunder Domain City. The jade strip did not actually mention the method of refining the Thunder Domain City, but it did mention that at the centre of the Thunder Domain City, there was an Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl. Only with the help of the jade strip in his hands could reach that place, otherwise, they would turn to dust by the bombardment from countless lightning bolts….
On reading this information, Ning Cheng’s back immediately turned cold, as he broke out in cold sweat. He thought back to how he had ended up entering inside this place, the previous lighting arcs that criss-crossed each other at the entrance that were preventing him from entering had suddenly disappeared. As he thought back to the moment when he had entered inside this place, he recalled that just before he had entered the lightning arcs, that criss-crossed each other and were blocking the entrance had suddenly disappeared, because of which the Mysterious Yellow Bead inside his body was able to sense the Thunder Source inside this place. Unexpectedly, it was all because of the jade strip that was still in his hand when he had rushed in, fortunately he had not thrown the jade strip into his ring, rather had grabbed it tightly in his hand as he escaped to this place.
People really should not consider themselves as infallible aah
, if not for Lu Fei and Chai Chudie’s internal strife, even if he was in the possession of the Mysterious Yellow Origin, he would never be able to enter to this place.
Ning Cheng, only after binding the jade strip to the back of his own hand, did he start carefully looking at the cyan stone ball in front of him. Moreover, because he was still afraid of the criss-crossing lightning arcs appearing once again, he did not dare to put the jade strip back into the ring.
Although Ning Cheng was not able to make out the material used for crafting the cyan stone ball in front of him, mainly because of the lightning still lingering around its surface, but he was definitely convinced of one thing. This cyan stone ball in front of him was the Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl that he had just read about, which was also the heart of the Thunder Domain City.
To refine the Thunder Domain City, it was necessary to refine this Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl first.
Although Ning Cheng already had an inkling that with his cultivation level merely being at the Profound Congealing Realm, he would not be actually able to refine even a part of the Thunder City, nevertheless he still wanted to try it. Moreover, that Lu Fei and Chai Chudie were also cultivators at the Profound Core Realm; as such, their strength was not actually much higher than his was. However, since they already had this kind of an idea, it showed that there was still a slight chance to refine the Thunder Domain City in reality.
Even if in the end he was not able to refine it, it also did not matter much to him; it would not actually be a big loss for him to walk out of this place. Moreover he had also bound the ancient jade strip onto the back of his hand, as such if he wanted to come back to the Thunder City again or get out of it, he should not be bombarded with the lightning bolts right?
After making the decision, Ning Cheng immediately sat down under the Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl, while at the same time sprayed out a mouthful of essence blood to form a canopy around him and the Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl on top of him. Simultaneously, he also started injecting his Spiritual Consciousness along with his True Essence into this cyan coloured Thunder Sphere to start refining it quickly.
Ning Cheng had just made a connection between his mind and the Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl, when he felt a violent tremor shaking up his entire body. The next moment, he could no longer call back his Spiritual Consciousness, the Spiritual Sense that he had sent out ended up sealed inside the cyan coloured thunder pearl. In other words, at this moment even if he wanted to walk out of that place, he would not be able to.
However, Ning Cheng did not panic, he found that as he began refining the Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl, this cyan coloured Thunder Pearl instantly seemed to have made a connection with his Sea of Consciousness, and was even absorbing a bit of his Mysterious Yellow Origin. Nevertheless, Ning Cheng did not feel any danger from it, he believed that it would not pose too big of a problem for him.
Relaxing his mind a bit, Ning Cheng soon entered a state of profoundness; seemingly, endless Thunder Arrays surrounded the Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl. Ning Cheng immediately chose to focus his thoughts on these Thunder Arrays and constantly branded them with his own imprint. The Mysterious Yellow Origin also continued to surround Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness nourishing it, co-ordinating with the pattern traces that Ning Cheng was able to gleam from the Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl.
Time passed by slowly as he went through a seemingly infinite loop, 1 month, 2 months…… all of a sudden 6 months passed by.
In the space all around Ning Cheng, the lightning arcs criss-crossing each other once again re-emerged. The only place where there was no lightning arcs was the spot where Ning Cheng was sitting.
The outside of the Thunder Domain City restored itself to its former appearance, with lightning arcs once again surrounding it. A few cultivators would occasionally come here, but as long as they tried to enter the Thunder Domain City, without exception, the endless lightning arcs would bombard them to the point that there was not even the slightest residue left behind of them all.
One more year passed by, Ning Cheng was still refining the Everlasting Blue Thunder Pearl, at this moment; he himself did not know what was happening outside.
………
Inside Ning Cheng’s Miniature World, Grey Toottoot was munching on a plump Essence Raising Fruit that Ning Cheng had been growing inside, while Yan Ji was sitting by the side of the True Spirit Nectar Wash pond. A strange sort of Spiritual Charm surrounded her entire body, even the True Essence fluctuation coming from her felt as if it were growing increasingly restless.
The aura building up in her body was also growing more and more powerful every passing moment, to the point that it finally burst out from her body. Feeling this kind of aura, Grey Toottoot immediately stopped chewing on the Essence Raising Fruit, as he focussed his vision on Yan Ji’s body.
Just at this moment, Yan Ji’s entire body shook violently, as faint multi-coloured radiance started condensing on the top of her head. Finally, the multi-coloured radiance became more and more solid, before it shaped itself into a core shadow.
The Spirit Stones, which Ning Cheng had kept in his ring, seemed to have gone crazy because of something, as they turned into a Spiritual Qi Mist, rushing towards Yan Ji. This Spiritual Qi Mist tunnelled into Yan Ji’s body, causing Yan Ji’s True Essence to grow even more powerful.
This continued for almost an hour, before Yan Ji suddenly issued a soft cry as a ray of light shot out of Yan Ji’s mouth. At the same time, a faint golden coloured spherical core also shot out of her mouth, the aura emanating from this golden spherical core was even more horrifying, it gave the feeling that as long as it burst open, then everything inside Ning Cheng’s ring would turn to dust.
Fortunately, Yan Ji’s Golden Core hovered over her head for only a short while, before she once again swallowed it up. Even the powerful True Essence fluctuations that surrounded her were now gradually dissipating; even the Spiritual Qi that was being absorbed was also thinning out.
After Yan Ji swallowed the Golden Core, Yan Ji’s face once again was restored to her original dazed expression, it was as if the events that had happened a moment before were not her doing at all.
If Ning Cheng were here, then he would have certainly realized that Yan Ji had actually managed to form her Golden Core without using a Profound Life Pill, and had successfully stepped
into the Profound Core Realm.
Without a pill to help in the formation of the Golden Core for a cultivator, it definitely showed that cultivator had top class qualifications among the top class qualifications. Even though Yan Ji was a core disciple of the Blue Cloud Academy, in the absence of a top tier cultivation method, one would not be able to condense their Golden Core without the help one would receive from pills. Only then would they be able to advance from Profound Congealing Realm to the Profound Core Realm.
If Yan Ji still had her complete mental faculties, she would have certainly understood what had transpired. It was because the True Spirit Nectar Wash has completely washed clean the impurities from her body from the inside out, which made her advance to the Profound Core Realm in a natural manner.
Yan Ji had already been stuck at the Profound Congealing 9th Level for a long time, the reason she had not advanced to the Profound Core Realm until now, was not that she could not advance, but because she wanted to accumulate more experiences over a period, to create a more solid foundation for herself. Now that her foundations were already solid enough, combined with the True Spirit Nectar Wash scouring her body clean, it had ended up unconsciously enhancing her perception and understandings. Because of all this, advancing to the Profound Core Realm was just the natural course of action.
……….
“Pa Ta” A subtle sound resounded in Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness, causing Ning Cheng to open his eyes suddenly, as a vast amount of information poured into his mind.
He finally was able to communicate with this Thunder City, although he had not actually refined the Thunder City, but he now knew that he did not need to continue stay in this place and continue with the refining. What he had actually communicated with was the first layer of restriction of the Thunder City, which made him realize that with his cultivation at present, if he wanted to refine the Thunder City in its entirety, then even if he had countless years to do so, he may not be able to succeed.
