Just what kind of logic was this?
The flickering shadow immediately turned silent and only after quite a long while did it retort back “Even if you cannot use it in presently, you can still use it in the future, besides do you even know how many spiritual artefacts you can exchange for a single true artefact?”
Ning Cheng also spoke up in a tone that sounded extremely despising to the ears, “Can you guarantee that I could use them in the future? What if my cultivation stagnates? What if by any chance I am not able to exchange them in the future?”
The flickering shadow felt that if it continued to talk with him in such manner then its own recently formed body might just end up collapsing in anger, causing it to hastily retreat into the huge cauldron once again, it did not want to continue arguing with Ning Cheng. “You have friends here; I know you just want to ask me one thing, which is to let me let your friends go.”
Ning Cheng was still holding the talisman in his hand; as such, he was simply not afraid of this flickering shadow on the outside. He once again spoke up in a disdain filled voice, “Why do I have to ask you to let go of my friends? You think you are some kind of a god or something. A single spear from me can easily shatter those icicles of yours; you think I am as helpless as you are? If you could have made a move on me, then you would have already made it a long time ago. You old fart.”
Although he had spoken in such a manner, but Ning Cheng was still very afraid in his heart.
“What did you call me?” The flickering shadow roared out with an angry voice from the inside.
“You’re just a clump of farts; don’t tell me that you lived for such a long time, that you even forgot what an ‘old fart’ means?” Ning Cheng spoke with a cheerful smile. Despite the fear of this flickering shadow rampaging in his heart, he did not believe that this flickering shadow had the ability to lay his hands on him. If he indeed had the ability to do so, then it would never be unable to bear this much of ridicule thrown its way.
At this time, Ning Cheng suddenly heard a ‘Katcha’ sound. Followed by a sight of a few flickering shadows coming out of the icicles, before these spilled out flickering shadows fell directly into the huge cauldron. After this bunch of flickering shadows disappeared into it, the cultivators trapped in those icicles also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“You old fart, so you were relying on devouring the souls of other people to heal yourself, are you even concerned about face?” Ning Cheng furiously cursed out. He had originally thought that Liang Kexin was just trapped frozen in the icicle, but now it seems that if he did not save her, then perhaps Liang Kexin might just turn to scraps.
The flickering shadow’s voice once again resounded out, “Don’t think that I do not dare to make a move on you, these people are all here because they triggered my cause, so I can and I will use their souls for my own effect. This is all Karma. If you dare offend me, then even if it means going against my own Dao of Karma, then even if I have to receive the Karma of the ant like cultivator like you, I will personally kill you.”
“Oh, so doesn’t it also mean that your life will be finished. Since you yourself cultivate and also pay a lot of attention to Karma, do you even know of my origins? You want to kill me; do you think that you can take the responsibility of such a huge amount of Karma? You already have a huge amount of Karma attached to yourself from the ones you devoured, but even then it seems that you would end up with a premature death, doesn’t it mean that your cultivation is simply fart in the end.” Although Ning Cheng was spewing out gibberish nonsense, he had already come to understand a few things.
When this flickering shadow brought the cultivators into this place, he had already planted the cause, but the effect was something too huge for it to handle. Causing it to use up its own soul as compensation.
What Ning Cheng did not notice, was that when he was casually spewing out such bullshit, it ended causing the flickering shadow to turn completely shocked, moreover it even caused it’s just slightly solidified shadow to lose some of its light.
“Regardless of whether I am able to regain my cultivation or not. You can’t see me. Since you can’t see me and I will in no way leave this huge cauldron, so how can you even make a move against me? Let me tell you the truth, every single inch of this huge hall is filled with my power……” The flickering shadow spoke with a laugh.
“Your power? You just rely on Karma……” As Ning Cheng spoke till here, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, he just remembered that at the moment he came in here, this place seemed to be filled with a power that was almost similar to the Power of Hope, was that the Power of Karma?
If the Power of Hope could be manifested as a force, then who can be sure is the Power of Karma can also be manifested as a force?
“I finally understood a few things, you old fart, although you rely on this thing, perhaps you are also afraid of this Power of Karma, am I right? Do I have to really fear your Power of Karma? Truth be told, I can completely destroy it with just a flick of my hand……” Ning Cheng had only spoken what he thought, whether he was right or wrong, he could only determine it from the next words from the flickering shadow.
“Just who are you?” The flickering shadow once again came out, before it once again dived into the huge cauldron, leaving only a small part of it peeking outside the cauldron. From the trembling tone of its voice, it could be seen that it was now truly extremely afraid of Ning Cheng.
No one in this broken Yi Xing Mainland knew about the Power of Karma, and the ones who did know about this were definitely not cultivators from the Yi Xing Mainland. If he also was the same as it, and was someone who was able to escape that disaster all those years ago, then maybe it had been in hiding for too long in this corner that it simply was not able to recognize those powerhouses from the past.
Thinking that Ning Cheng might turn out to be one of those powerhouses from back then; the flickering shadow couldn’t help but shudder in fear as it gave a wave, causing the ice house that Ning Cheng was seeing in front of him to instantly disappear. Moreover, the cultivators trapped inside the ice house were also not able to see Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was also able to feel that this flickering shadow was harbouring some sort of fear against him, and was increasingly feeling that his old fart might just be a remnant of a person from a very long time ago. But currently he was very worried about Liang Kexin and Xun Hanrui, and knew that he had to seize this opportunity to rescue the two of them. There was also that Xin Hai, that person was also someone good, as such, he had to think of a way to save them.
Thinking about the things until here, Ning Cheng suddenly flicked the Profound Break Spear in his hand and spoke, “Who do you think this young grandpa is? Let me allow you look at this move then you’ll know who this little grandpa is.”
Using the Profound Break Spear to draw out an untraceable arc, he suddenly stabbed out with it. A berserk spear intent burst out, causing the entire huge hall to look like it had suddenly lost all its colours, a one of a kind desolate killing desire seemed to have completely filled the entire huge hall. It felt as if not to mention the huge hall, even if was a huge planet, in the face of this kind of berserk killing intent, it wouldn’t be able to resist it for a single moment before it turned to ashes.
The flickering shadow suddenly started trembling violently, and in just a twinkling of an eye, it’s slightly solidified shadow became incomparably faint.
“You must be him, must be him……” The flickering shadow barely was able to speak up in an extremely trembling tone, with its entire body visibly shaking. If it had teeth, then Ning Cheng would have definitely heard the sound of teeth clanking against each other in fear.
“Talk less nonsense with this young grandpa, because of a lot of things happening, this young grandpa is not able to remember a lot of things, if you want to make a move against me, then I will not hesitate to shred you into bits.” Ning Cheng was also secretly shocked in his heart as he witnessed t
he power of his own spear, although it was still not even a billionth in power when compared to the original, it still caused that old fart to almost die out of fear.
Seeing that the flickering shadow seemed to be panic stricken, Ning Cheng suddenly gave a laugh and spoke, “You better hurry up and show yourself out of the ice house, and let me save my people. Otherwise, he he……”
This time that flickering shadow did not dare to spout even a single nonsense, and allowed the ice house to once again turn visible. Ning Cheng immediately saw the icicle in which Liang Kexin was trapped frozen, but at this moment Liang Kexin was visibly trembling, it seemed as if at any moment her soul would flow out causing her body to dissolve.
Ning Cheng immediately entered the ice house, and shot his spear just above the icicle trapping Liang Kexin. ‘Katcha’ a sound emerged as the icicle trapping Liang Kexin instantly shattered, allowing Liang Kexin to collapse onto the ground, as she spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Ning Cheng immediately took out a pill and handed it to Liang Kexin and spoke, “Junior Apprentice Sister Kexin, you go ahead and heal up yourself first, I’ll go and save Junior Apprentice Sister Hanrui.”
Finished speaking, Ning Cheng once again shot out his spear just above the icicle that was encasing Xun Hanrui. Xun Hanrui was a lot stronger than Liang Kexin was; as such the moment she came out, she immediately cupped her fists towards Ning Cheng and thanked him, “Many thanks for Senior Apprentice Brother Ning’s help.”
Under the eager eyes of the many, Ning Cheng directly went towards the front of the icicle entombing Xin Han, and once again shot out with his spear……
“Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I want to save the rest of the Senior Apprentice Brothers and Senior Apprentice Sisters ……” Xun Hanrui could not bear it as she looked at the longing filled eyes from inside the icicle pillars, as she asked in a whisper.
Ning Cheng also had noticed the numerous longing filled eyes, and suddenly spoke up, “Old fart you better open all these icicles, all the ones inside are friends of mine.”
Finished his sentence, Ning Cheng instantly remembered what had happened inside the Law’s Way. At that time, he also had saved many people, but in the end, the only thing that he received was hatred from the majority of them.
“Hey, wait wait……” Ning Cheng suddenly saw Fu Shengnan and Wen Han; even if he had to save others, he would not save the two of them.
“Katcha… Katcha…..” Burst after burst of ice shattering sounds emerged, causing Ning Cheng to realize that his words were obviously a bit late, as all the icicles ended up shattered.
All the cultivators felt that they were given a new lease of life; there were even several cultivators who excitedly cried out tears of joy.
“… if there is nothing else, then I’ll go…..” The flickering shadow was cowering inside the huge cauldron, and only spoke with its blurry head exposed.
Ning Cheng at this moment was truly angry at this flickering shadow for the fact that he opened all the icicles too fast. He had even ended up rescuing garbage like Fu Shengnan and Wen Han, and could not help but immediately speak out, “Why leave? Why do you want to go? I worked extremely hard to come here, other than saving the people out here, I did not even obtain the slightest advantage, so how can I let you leave? You can casually bring out hundreds of best quality true artefacts and high grade true artefact, aah, even that pill from before can be considered to be quite good, you can also casually……”
The flickering shadow almost cried out bitter tears as it quickly spoke up, “Those were all manifested with the Power of Karma, although they really are real, but at the same time they are also not real. Besides, you can only look at them but not touch them……”
Ning Cheng gave a grunt, as he picked up his own nine-coloured Mirage Stone that he had casually thrown out, and only spoke, “I see, then I also can’t give this away? You got me here that means you planted the cause, but now you don’t have any fruit for me, you can figure out the rest for yourself.”
Speaking until here, Ning Cheng suddenly remembered something, and quickly spoke out with a sound transmission, “You can go if you want, but you’ll have to get me some good stuffs later, you can bury it here… Aah, bury it deep underground. I will come back later to get it. As long as you can get me the good stuff and bury it in here, it would end up resolving the knot of Karma between us.”
Ning Cheng couldn’t help but think that if this flickering shadow gave all the good things to him, and in front of all the cultivators here, wouldn’t it turn out to be troublesome for him? Although he did not believe, even for a moment, that this old fart did not have anything good with it, but he also did not dare to overly persecute this flickering shadow. In case he ended up going too far in messing with it, it might just turn worse for him.

Ning Cheng’s sound transmission had just finished, when all the cultivators present in the huge hall felt a burst of emptiness, before everyone fell down like a pack of dumplings.
The icehouse was gone, even the huge cauldron and the exquisite huge hall had also vanished. The surroundings once again turned completely desolate, filled with potholes and fragments of broken magical weapons as far as the eyes could see. However looking at this scene, all the people were clear that they had finally come out from that terrible icehouse.
Some of the cultivators even knelt on the ground with happy tears pouring down their faces, many of them were clear on this point that if there was a delay of even a few days then they might not have been able to come out.
Many of the cultivators came forward one after another to offer their sincerest thanks towards Ning Cheng, some of them even wanted to come up with spirit stones and pills to give to Ning Cheng as thanks. However, thinking back to the scene of Ning Cheng using the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar to wash his hands and feet, as well as the sight of him casually tossing out a nine-coloured Mirage Stone, all of them could not help but hold back on that thought.
Xun Hanrui suddenly sent a sound transmission to Ning Cheng, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, you using the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar to wash your hands and feet was seen by everyone here, you should start paying a little more attention from now on.”
Ning Cheng was badly surprised in his heart; he obviously had not seen or even felt the others when he had taken it out. That old fogey might consider the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar to be something trivial, but to the other cultivators it was actually something precious.
Thinking until here, Ning Cheng could not help but think in his heart that this old fogey was truly quite cheap with its methods. That old bastard had actually put him out on live broadcast,
that son-of-a-bitch
.
“Elder Brother Ning, many thanks for your life saving grace. I am Heavenly Dao Sect’s Disciple Li Lingfan, in the future if Elder Brother Ning wishes to visit my Heavenly Dao Sect, then this Li Lingfan will definitely leave everything and come have a drink with you as a welcome.” A young looking man with the cultivation at the great circle of Soul Essence Realm made his way to the front of Ning Cheng and gave a deep bow as he clasped his fist as a form of respect. When he was still trapped in the icehouse, Xun Hanrui had whispered a few things to Ning Cheng, allowing him to hear a part of it, because which he called out to him as Elder Brother Ning.
Liang Kexin already was aware that Ning Cheng was poorly informed about the academies, as such quickly sent out a sound transmission to Ning Cheng, “Heavenly Dao Sect is counted among the ten most powerful and influential sects and academies, and is even ranked above our Rainbow Fall Sword Sect.”
Ning Cheng on hearing those words also quickly cupped his fists and spoke
in a polite voice, “I was just lucky to be able to save Senior Apprentice Brother Li, how could someone like me naively come to the Heavenly Dao Sect only to bother you.”
“Haha, I did not expect that I would one day be saved by a Profound Core Cultivator. Many thanks, Elder Brother Ning; although your cultivation is lower than me, but you still saved this Kong Cheng’s life, it means that you are now my lifelong friend.” A man with a sturdy yet wild appearance took a few steps forward, as he cupped his hands and thanked Ning Cheng.
Xin Hai quickly spoke up, “Elder Brother Ning, Senior Apprentice Brother Kong Cheng is my Star Gathering Mansion’s True Inheriting Disciple, this time you not only saved Senior Apprentice Brother Kong Cheng, but have also saved me. I really am grateful for it. Please do forgive me about my ravings of helping you earlier; I truly did not know my place……”
Ning Cheng and Kong Cheng exchanged a few more polite words, before Ning Cheng patted Xin Hai’s shoulder and said, “Elder Brother Xin, you really don’t have to be so polite, I am already aware that you really wanted to help me in full sincerity previously. It’s only by luck that I was able to save you…”
“Senior Apprentice Brother Ning. Floating Snow Palace’s Zhong Nianyun thanks you for the life-saving grace that you bestowed on me. In the future if Elder Brother Ning finds the time to visit my Floating Snow Palace, then this Nianyun will certainly treat you as an honoured guest.” A thankful voice arrived followed by a young and slightly shy looking beautiful female cultivator, with the cultivation of Soul Essence 6th Level.
Liang Kexin’s voice also came in a timely manner, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, Floating Snow Palace is also one of the ten top influential and long standing academies of the Tian Continent.”
Ning Cheng also quickly returned the salute. He felt that even if he did not receive even the smallest of benefits from saving these people, and regardless of if their thanks were sincere or false, at least he might just be able to make a few friends.
