The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  “I know …..” Ning Cheng could feel the concern of Shi Qionghua. He directly pulled over Shi Qionghua, and held her in his arms.

  Shi Qionghua was just about to speak to Ning Cheng from the side, when her face immediately changed once again, as she instantly spoke, “Ning Cheng, we have been surrounded, moreover even the space has been sealed off…”

  After hearing Shi Qionghua’s words, Ning Cheng also felt the situation. He first put away the flight type magical weapon then simultaneously holding onto Shi Qionghua, he stimulated the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds. If not Shi Qionghua’s timely reminder, then perhaps he would have flown right into the middle of the enemy’s restriction.

  However, he immediately felt the space around him turn incredibly viscous, to the point that he was unable to escape. Obviously, he had not completely entered the central region of the restriction arranged by the opposite party, but he was still greatly affected by it.

  A dozen extremely powerful fluctuations rose up while rapidly closing in from all directions. Not to say about Ning Cheng being a Soul Essence Cultivator, even if he was a Soul Sculpting Cultivator; he would not be able to get away at present. Although Shi Qionghua’s cultivation was similarly formidable, however the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds were on Ning Cheng. At the same time, he could feel that a number of powerful spiritual consciousness had already locked onto Shi Qionghua.

  Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness also swept out as it simultaneously sensed several powerhouses, with none of their cultivation being below the Crucible Transformation Realm.

  Shi Qionghua was also obviously able to gauge the situation, but she instead calmed herself down and spoke in a gentle voice, “If we really can’t walk away from here, then we might as well die together……”

  However, Ning Cheng was simply unwilling to surrender without a fight. He, without any hesitation, brought out his True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel, then stimulated it with the Power of Hope from Imperial Jade Seal. The Buddha Fire Wheel was just like a meteor, as it instantaneously tore through the Forbidden Space Restriction and vanished into the horizon.

  Shi Qionghua was completely shocked as she looked at the rapid rise of the Buddha Fire Wheel. Even with her formidable spiritual consciousness, she was not able to observe anything on the outside. This kind of speed was simply terrifying. Moreover, what level of strength would be required to break through this kind of extremely formidable Forbidden Space Restriction?

  “What magical weapon is this, for it to be so unexpectedly powerful?” Shi Qionghua was not able to bear the shock and immediately asked.

  Ning Cheng on feeling that the Buddha Fire Wheel had truly rushed out of the Forbidden Space Restriction, felt his heart loosen up a bit. As long as he could use the Buddha Fire Wheel to rush out, then even if there were many Crucible Transformation Cultivators, they would not be able to overtake them.

  “This is a Buddhist treasure. Originally, I thought that this was a low grade true artefact, but this magical weapon might just not be as simple as a low grade true artefact. Moreover, this magical weapon is powered by the Power of Hope. Qionghua, have you ever heard of the Power of Hope?” The Power of Hope inside the Imperial Jade Seal was growing lower and lower, he was afraid that once he used up the Power of Hope inside, he would not be able to use it again.

  “Power of Hope?” Shi Qionghua had a somewhat vacant look as she shook her head, but she felt that she had definitely heard about it somewhere. She then asked, “So the reason you were able to obtain the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree, is because you dug it up with the Power of Hope? I heard that the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree cannot be dug up by just using the power of true essence.”

  “Yes.” Ning Cheng did not conceal anything from Shi Qionghua; however, he was feeling very uncomfortable about being almost ambushed at this moment. He knew that someone has definitely plotted against him, if not for he and Shi Qionghua being together, if he had taken a step forward, even if he managed to take out the True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel, he most likely would not have been able to escape that place.

  “It looks like we are being plotted against, if I did not have the Power of Hope to stimulate the True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel, then we would have died this time.” Ning Cheng clenched his fists as he mumbled out those words. At this moment, he was truly unsatisfied with his strength. To him at present, if he ended up against someone in the Crucible Transformation Realm, then he simply would not even need to run away, rather he should just commit suicide.

  Shi Qionghua understood Ning Cheng’s thoughts; she grabbed Ning Cheng’s hand and spoke, “Is it because of Li Lingfan?”

  Ning Cheng was silent for a while, but then shook his head and spoke, “It’s definitely not him, and we had only met Li Lingfan by accident. Moreover, we had only come to the North Light Town not long ago, at the same time the arrangement of the interception was not simple at all. To the point that we had almost entered into the core vicinity of the Forbidden Space Restriction arranged near to the North Light Town. From this it can be seen that someone knew that we had entered the North Light Town beforehand, moreover this Forbidden Space Restriction also specifically counters my Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, and even the Transfer Talismans that we had previously used to escape.”

  “So these people, who are plotting against us, had already recognised us before we entered the North Light Town. They could have surrounded us directly, but this group seems to be afraid that I would use my Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds. So to counteract against it, they arranged a Forbidden Space Restriction ahead of time. Unfortunately, I still have the True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel. I have already identified several of them, so I’ll definitely be giving them a visit one by one in the future.”

  As he reached until the end of his words, Ning Cheng directly erupted with an undisguised killing intent, “If we go to the Transmission Array controlled by the Heaven Alliance now, it would only be diving head first into danger. Perhaps by the time we arrive, there would already be someone blocking our path.”

  Shi Qionghua couldn’t help but ask her doubts, “Did you not just say that Li Lingfan had not schemed against us? We want to go to the Sifting Orchid Star; shouldn’t he be the only one who knows about it?”

  Ning Cheng answered, “Li Lingfan is already in the North Light Town, even if he does not want to speak about it, but he would not be able to stymie so many Crucible Transformation Cultivators ganging up on him. If we are able to reach the location of the Transmission Array in the shortest time, then we should still have enough time, however I’m afraid that even if we rush out now, this group of bastards would already know about it in advance.”

  If not for the insufficient Power of Hope for the True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel, Ning Cheng would have already controlled the Buddha Fire Wheel to go to the Sifting Orchid Star.

  Shi Qionghua was silent for a moment before she replied, “At our present speed, if we arrived at the location of the Transmission Array, they might not have enough time to react. But it would all depend on how long Li Lingfan would hold out. As long as he is able to persist for at least an hour, there should not be much of a problem.”

  Ning Cheng also knew that what Shi Qionghua spoke was right; he quickly controlled the True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel to move quickly towards the location of the Transmission Array. With his current cultivation several times stronger than what it was previously, his control over the True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel was a lot more flexible.

  The people who were aware that he possessed the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds were not many. The Severing Emotions Dao Sect, where Xu Yingdei was located, had already closed off their mountains, so it was highly likely that it was Yin Kongchan who had disclosed his information. It was also possible that an expert might have detected it during his performance at the competition in the Heavenly Dao Public Square.

  ……

  “Truly a powerful flight type magical weapon, otherwise how could it unexpectedly break through the F
orbidden Space Restriction?” A Crucible Transformation Cultivator started at the rapidly diminishing and distant True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel, as he spoke out in shock.

  “This person talked with Li Lingfan in the North Light Town, we should immediately inquire about him from Li Lingfan. I do not believe that he would be able to escape from the Tian Continent.” The person talking had an expression full of almost corporeal killing intent. If Ning Cheng were here, he would be able to recognize this person at the first glance. It was none other than the sickly looking person from the Red Star Sword Faction, Tang Gongxi.

  An hour later, Ning Cheng and Shi Qionghua appeared outside a mountain range surrounded by faint spiritual qi fluctuations, in the far north of the Tian Continent. Not only was the spiritual qi sparse in this place, but there was also an array of tornadoes whirling around it without any origin or end. If the cultivation of a person was worse, then it was highly likely that they would be whisked away by these tornados.

  “We are a bit off from the location of the Transmission Array aah.” Ning Cheng gave out a sigh.

  Shi Qionghua was also aware of it and spoke, “I heard that there was originally a not-so-small academy here, but after cultivators foreign to this place settled here, they felt that arranging a Transmission Array in this place would be quite beneficial. So they ended up setting up a one-way Transmission Array to the Sifting Orchid Star in this place.”

  “Let’s go and check it out.” Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness had already swept towards the distant mountain range. He was aware that the location of the Transmission Array to the Sifting Orchid Star was in the deepest parts of the mountain range.

  “Would you be able to advance once I enter the miniature world?” Shi Qionghua quickly spoke.

  Ning Cheng only gave the nod, “Now is the only chance we have. With so many Crucible Transformation Cultivators pressing for an answer, Li Lingfan would certainly not be able to hold on for long. I can only hope that Li Lingfan was able to hide our whereabouts till now.”

  ……

  At the same time, in the North Light Town, Li Lingfan was bowing out of courtesy towards the several Crucible Transformation Cultivators in front of him.

  “Virtuous nephew Lingfan, I will not beat around the bush, it’s about the cultivator that you met just now. Do you know where he went?” Tang Gongxi thought that his words alone would be more than enough to give Li Lingfan some face. At the very least, he was very vague with his words and did not directly ask Li Lingfan about where Ning Cheng went.

  Li Lingfan frowned as if he was thinking of something before asking a question, “Who is Senior Tang referring? Since the moment I arrived here, I have met quite a few of my friends; moreover, I talked heartily with at least a dozen of them…”

  Tang Gongxi impatiently interrupted Li Lingfan’s words and spoke, “I did not want to beat around the bush with you. Very well, just tell me where exactly did Ning Cheng go?”

  “Ning Cheng?” Li Lingfan suddenly laughed, “Senior Tang, how would I know where Ning Cheng went? Moreover, I am a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Could it be that Senior Tang here thinks that the Red Star Sword Faction can gobble up my Heavenly Dao Academy? Doesn’t your words imply that you are trying to threaten me?”

  As Li Lingfan finished, he merely raised his hand to take out a messenger flying sword, posing as if he was about to shoot out a distress signal with it. Tang Gongxi’s complexion immediately turned ugly. He did not know if he should step in or not to stop him. If he did not step in, then it would mean that he feared the Heavenly Dao Academy. At the same time, he also wanted to step in. The Heavenly Dao Academy’s strength was obviously far above the Red Star Sword Faction. This time, when they chose to make their move, they deliberately did not include the Heavenly Dao Academy. Once the Heavenly Dao Academy decided to act, then the things on Ning Cheng’s body, there would be the lion’s share less of it for them.

  Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Academy was extremely two-faced. Previously, when they all had intercepted the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, almost all the academies suffered repercussions. Only the Heavenly Dao Academy did not experience anything, not even a minor injury. It was more than evident that the Heavenly Dao Academy chose not to go all out along with them. Therefore, this time, when they planned to intercept Ning Cheng, they decided not to involve the Heavenly Dao Academy.

  The reason why Tang Gongxi had spoken to Li Lingfan in such a dull tone was that Li Lingfan had always been very polite in his behaviour towards the elders. In this regard, his reputation was quite good and even seen as a good role model of how an obedient disciple should be. He had initially wanted to use his cultivation to suppress Li Lingfan so that Li Lingfan would give him an honest account of things, but he had never thought that he would end up encountering such a sturdy nail.

  A white-faced man from the Yin Yang Dao Sect quickly stepped forward and spoke up, “Virtuous Nephew Lingfan, you misunderstood the words just spoke. Elder Brother Tang did not mean what you heard; he is just simply inquiring about the whereabouts of Ning Cheng.”

  “So it was originally like this aah, I get it now.” Li Lingfan chuckled as he put away the signalling flying sword in his hand.

  Seeing Li Lingfan showing such an understanding expression, the several Crucible Transformation Cultivators present there felt relieved. They all thought that they should have used this method from the start. Tang Gongxi acted like a senior bullying a junior, but as a result, ended up biting a hard nail.

  “Yes, do you know where Ning Cheng went?” The Crucible Transformation Cultivator from the Yin Yang Dao Sect anxiously asked.

  Li Lingfan gave a smile, as he unhurriedly spoke up, “I don’t know.”

  It immediately caused the several Crucible Transformation Cultivators to look at each other helplessly, as they knew that they could not persecute Li Lingfan. After all, harassing Li Lingfan would mean that they would have to face the wrath of the behemoth that was the Heavenly Dao Academy. None of them wanted to stick their heads in this kind of endeavour.

  Just as these Crucible Transformation Cultivators were discussing among themselves, Li Lingfan also received a messenger flying sword. Li Lingfan immediately realised from this that a Crucible Transformation Elder from his Heavenly Dao Academy was about to arrive. At this moment, he could only hope that Ning Cheng had not gone to the Transmission Array. Once his Heavenly Dao Academy’s Crucible Transformation Elder arrived, then Lingfan would have no choice but to divulge the whereabouts of Ning Cheng. At that moment, he honestly would not be able to hide it for long.

  ……

  Going through the rolling mountain range, Ning Cheng finally saw a grey building surrounded by restrictions. Ning Cheng had just entered this grey building when a cultivator in the Soul Sculpting Realm stopped him.

  “I want to go to the Sifting Orchid Star, here is my identification.” Ning Cheng unemotionally handed out the black jade card.

  He was ready, once the person in front of him recognised him, he would immediately call out Shi Qionghua, and the two of them would kill their way out.

  Ning Cheng had just taken out the black jade card when a few intrepid spiritual consciousnesses swept at his body.

  There were a few Crucible Transformation Cultivators here;

  Ning Cheng was immediately surprised, as he tried to maintain his calm.

  These intrepid spiritual consciousnesses swept his body but did not leave. Instead, they surrounded Ning Cheng before one of the spiritual consciousnesses fell onto Ning Cheng’s miniature world ring.

  Ning Cheng felt somewhat nervous in his heart, at this moment he was reasonably sure that Li Lingfan had not divulged the news of him wanting to go to
the Sifting Orchid Star. However, such a thing would not remain hidden for long, once the people here received the news, it would become challenging for him to walk out of this situation, and moreover, he was also not able to do anything to the spiritual consciousness probing him.

  What’s more, Ning Cheng was more worried about the miniature world right now. There were two rings on his hand; one was public, while the other one had a concealment restriction engraved on it, the one that contained the miniature world.

  Ordinary people would not be able to see his concealed ring, but now that a strand of spiritual consciousness had paused on his miniature world ring, it showed that this person was an expert in the field of arrays. It looks like this person sensed that his concealed ring was somewhat different.

  However, Ning Cheng believed that even if the opposite party were an expert in the field of arrays, if they wanted to use their spiritual consciousness to decipher the concealment on his miniature world ring, then it would be impossible. His attainments in the field of arrays were vastly superior to his actual cultivation.

  The cultivator in the Soul Sculpting Realm took Ning Cheng’s jade card and entered inside. After a while, he once again came out and spoke to Ning Cheng, “The identity has been verified, however even with your status, if you want to go to the Sifting Orchid Star, then you need to pay three million spirit stones and two best quality spirit stones.”

  Ning Cheng guessed that Li Lingfan had not enquired about these things; moreover, he also had no objections to taking out the three million spirit stones. Although there was some hesitation as he took out the two best quality spirit stones, it was still within his tolerance limit. He initially had five best quality spirit stones on him, so bringing out two of them did not affect him in a big way.
