The flaming person muttered to himself as he saw Ning Cheng fly over the magma lake.
What made Ning Cheng feel relieved was that his Spiritual Consciousness was strong enough. Although this magma lake produced a strong suction, it actually could not suck him into the lake.
Standing in front of the Fire Origin Bead, a terrifying heat wave blasted over him. Ning Cheng even felt the Celestial River Flame within his body twitching slightly; apparently, his Celestial River Flame held some fear and apprehension towards this Fire Origin Bead.
Ning Cheng raised his hand and moved to grab the Origin Bead, immediately causing a violent flame to erupt from it. Ning Cheng could not help but feel shocked; when he obtained the Water Origin Bead, it gave out a soft feeling. So why did this Fire Origin Bead give out such a violent reaction? Once swept over by this flame, would anyone even survive?
Ning Cheng immediately sent a thought towards the Mysterious Yellow Bead, intending to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead to avoid those terrorising flames. Do not look at his Tier 7 God Body; in the face of these terrifying flames, it would still prove insufficient.
However, what made Ning Cheng feel even more amazed was that the moment he communicated with the Mysterious Yellow Bead, the Mysterious Yellow Origin Aura immediately fused with the Fire Origin Bead Aura.
The formerly powerful flames, on coming in contact with the Mysterious Yellow Origin, immediately converged its raging nature and turned extremely docile. Even without Ning Cheng making any motion to grab it, the Origin Bead automatically fell into Ning Chen’s palm. Crystal-clear and mellow to touch, the bead also sported dense flame markings over it.
With a slight movement of Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Sense, the Fire Origin Bead then dissolved into his Mysterious Yellow Bead.
The Mysterious Yellow Bead, which initially contained only some water vapour, immediately came alive. It felt as if the fire of life had suddenly sprouted within it and at the same time, the Fire Origin Bead completely disappeared without a trace.
Sure enough, it was just like what Elder Brother Cang Wei mentioned; his Mysterious Yellow Bead needed all five kinds of Origin Beads to form a Primal Chaos World.
However, the five kinds of Origin Bead were scattered throughout the vast universe. Where and how should he go about to find them? Finding the Water Origin Bead and the Fire Origin Bead was all due to luck, would his luck still hold for the rest of the beads? Even with an infinite lifespan, it would prove extremely difficult.
Even with an infinite life expectancy, could it be enough for the endless expanse of the universe?
“Did you take the Fire Origin Bead?” The flames covering the flaming man dimmed noticeably, gradually revealing his original appearance.
Ning Cheng felt startled in his heart.
Did this not mean that he ended up saving this flaming person when he collected the Fire Origin Bead?
If this burning man held malevolent intentions, he might be in danger despite saving that person’s life. This person initially came for the Fire Origin Bead; logically, this person also coveted the Fire Origin Bead, right?
“Yes, I already collected the Fire Origin Bead; however, I can also tell you that it has already integrated with me. Since I saved your life, you better not dare to chirp around; otherwise, I don’t mind taking out the Fire Origin Bead once again.” Ning Cheng casually threw out a threat.
“No, no, good things come to those with morals. I’m just happy, happy…” The flaming man quickly spoke up with cupped fists. At this time, the flames covering his body had disappeared entirely, revealing an old-looking cultivator with bark-like skin.
Ning Cheng was just about to turn around and leave when the Celestial River Flame that was protecting him suddenly gave out a wild fluctuation.
“Do you want the Fire Origin Crystals in this place? If that is the case, help yourself to it.”
Ning Cheng immediately understood that the pressure from the Fire Origin Bead had ended up suppressing his Celestial River Flame. Although it really wanted to devour the Fire Origin Crystals in this place, it did not dare to move around. If not because its master needed its protection, it would not even dare to come out.
Now that Ning Cheng had tamed and picked up the Fire Origin Bead, the Celestial River Flame immediately turned restless. Hearing Ning Cheng’s order, a blue flame instantly spread out, and the Fire Origin Crystals within the cave rapidly started to decrease.
“Hey, leave some for me…..” The old cultivator with the burnt bark-like skin had clearly witnessed Ning Cheng taking away the Fire Origin Bead. Now that Ning Cheng was crazily devouring the Fire Origin Crystals, this person quickly rushed from the edge of the magma lake and began picking up the Origin Crystals.
When Ning Cheng saw that, he also started peeling the Origin Crystals over the edges of the rock wall, a dozen at a time.
At this point, the Celestial River Flame had completely changed colours, turning from blue to purple. Even if Ning Cheng did not have much understanding of this flame, he knew that his fire had reached a new peak state.
The person with the burnt bark-like skin also obtained a sizable harvest and could not help but look at Ning Cheng’s Celestial River Flame in envy. He could not help but ask, “Excuse me my friend, is your Milky Way Galaxy far away from this place?”
Ning Cheng understood that this person truly wanted to go to the Milky Way Galaxy after hearing his words. He showed a smile and spoke, “I advise you not to go to the Milky Way Galaxy. Unless you become a Starry Skies’ Emperor, you anyway will not be able to reach it. I’ll be taking my leave now.”
Ning Cheng knew that this man with burnt bark-like skin had much higher cultivation compared to him. However, the other party currently was feeble right now. Who knew if he would scheme against him after recovering? In the face of such kind of an expert, it was best for him to act discretely and with careful consideration.
The man with burnt bark-like skin did not care about Ning Cheng leaving. He could not help but mutter to himself, “Milky Way Galaxy, where is this place? There are so many good things there and even people with such powerful Spiritual Consciousness…”
Ning Cheng quickly rushed out of this uninhabited planet and wielded his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds at full power. Although he did not want to head back to the Ocean Gambling City, he still had to head back to the Lesser Thunder Star. At the very least, he had to go to the Thunder Enforcement City and meet up with Jing Wuming. At the same time, meeting Lan Yan within the Thunder Enforcement City would also be the best.
With such powerful Spiritual Consciousness, Ning Cheng flew through the starry sky like a blurry shadow. Not only was he fast, but he also did not feel tired.
After flying continuously for almost half a month, Ning Cheng finally saw the Lesser Thunder Star, which was not too far away from him.
However, just at this moment, a vague feeling of danger suddenly surged into his mind. Ning Cheng had no time to ponder on what the threat was when a huge hand stretched over towards him as if it wanted to take him away.
Ning Cheng had no time to think about it, bringing out the Nirvana Spear, a strong Spear Intent Trace rushed out.
“Bang” As that huge palm rumbled over, the spear in Ning Cheng’s hand shot back, causing Ning Cheng to shoot backwards due to the counterforce.
“Huh, a Celestial Novice Cultivator, without even a Celestial Wheel, yet having such a powerful Spear Intent, remarkable…..”
A light voice passed through Ning Cheng’s ears, followed by a visual of Ning Cheng finding two people playing chess in space.
He almost rubbed his eyes; that is right, it indeed was two people playing chess in the starry sky. Out of the two of them, one was dressed as a middle-aged scribe, and one was a messy man with a broken bowl hanging around his waist. Coupled with this rumpled man’s dirty looks, that person looked like a genuine beggar.
The two men had a chessboard, seemingly controlled by an array formation, in front of t
hem, filled with game pieces made out of meteorites.
“Brother Nan, what do you say? You did not manage to catch that meteorite, and you even failed to catch a Celestial Novice Kid. It’s definitely a failure, ha-ha, you better admit defeat….” The middle-aged scribe spoke up.
Ning Cheng understood immediately that these two people were genuinely playing chess in this place and used chess pieces made out of meteorites caught and refined from the starry sky. From the looks of it, the man dressed in beggar-like garb, called Brother Nan, lost the match because he could not find a meteorite and thus could not play chess. From the looks of it, Ning Cheng involuntarily wandered into the path of a distant meteor, which this person wanted to grab.
“If you lose, you lose. There is nothing remarkable about it.” The beggar stood up from the chessboard in front of him. “Looks like I’m really unlucky, not only did I lose to a few old fogies, I didn’t think that my bad luck would even carry to chess. However, since you are already here kid, I can see that you have some good spear skills. Why don’t you tell me about the origins of your spear strike.”

A powerhouse, Ning Cheng thought to himself, as he could not perceive the other party’s cultivation at all; however, he could vaguely see five to six vague Celestial Rings behind him.
“This junior likes seeking opportunities by roaming around in the starry sky. This spear technique is something that this junior had learned from imitating a senior; however, who this senior, this junior does not know. I could only see a small bit of that senior’s demonstration. This junior has only begun scratching the surface of it…..” Ning Cheng quickly replied, inadvertently linking himself to a seemingly formidable senior.
“Oh, then you can show me how that senior demonstrated it to you.” The beggar spoke while nodding his head.
Ning Cheng knew that he could not refuse the demonstration. He raised his Nirvana Spear, then swinging it in an arc, shot it out into the empty space. The powerful Spear Intent manifested as a faint shadow, as it tore through the area in front.
“Bang.” An explosion erupted as the trajectory intercepted a meteorite flying around. Before the meteor could even come near Ning Cheng’s Nirvana Spear, Ning Cheng’s formidable Spear Intent had already smashed it into pieces.
The beggar clapped his hands together and called out, “Good, good Spear Technique, good Spear Intent.”
The middle-aged scribe also stood up and spoke with appreciation, “Although the Spear Intent is good, this person’s Spiritual Consciousness is even more formidable and promising.”
Ning Cheng felt shocked in his heart. He had only shot out at random, yet it was more than enough for the other party to conclude that his Spiritual Sense was formidable and promising. This was too surprising.
“Kid, I see that you have some potential, this King wants to accept you as a disciple; what do you think of it?” The beggar showed a warm smile and asked Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng quickly spoke up with a somewhat fearful voice, “Replying to senior, the senior who taught me the Spear Technique said that after I realised the essence of this spear, I can then come to Striking Order Starry Sky to find him. Without senior’s instruction, this junior dares not acknowledge someone else as my master.”
This person referred to himself as ‘King’; most likely, he might even turn out as a Celestial River King. Ning Cheng knew that becoming a disciple of a Celestial River King would provide him with the much-needed support; however, that would only be the case if he had nothing. He just had too many secrets on him, following this Celestial River King, who can be sure if he could even witness a tomorrow?
“So be it.” The beggar showed a slight disappointment. However, he also did not ask whom Ning Cheng wanted to meet after going to the Striking Order Starry Skies.
“This junior takes his leave then.” Ning Cheng really did not want to stay here for long. He even secretly prepared himself, once any of these two experts showed intentions to attack he would immediately make his escape with the help of the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds. Whether or not he could escape, that was an entirely different matter; however, he did not feel willing enough to find himself caught by any one of these experts.
Thinking of here, Ning Cheng could not help but give out a sigh. There were just too many formidable people within the starry skies. He had heard that the Orchid Borough Celestial River was only a garbage Celestial River, yet there still were so many Starry Skies’ powerhouses in here. If he went to a more powerful Starry Sky and encountered a wrong person, he might just end up pinched to death
The beggar hesitated and spoke, “Meeting each other is a form of fate. Although I have nothing to give you, I definitely can provide you with this video card. It might even provide you with some help, ha-ha……”
Ning Cheng quickly received the item respectfully and prudently and held it in his hand until the two experts finally walked away.
After the two people walked away, Ning Cheng then took out an empty storage ring and put the video card inside the storage ring before repeatedly placing dozens after dozens of restrictions over the ring, which finally calmed down his heart.
Ning Cheng knew about the function of the video card. This was a personal talisman-like object that he could use to communicate with that expert using Spiritual Sense. At a critical time, one could take out this video card to oppose his enemy. This video card could even display a little bit of strength in the image of the cultivator who created the video card. Something that could act as a deterring role. Usually, elders left such kind of talismans for their juniors as a life-saving measure. For this beggar-like figure to give such an object to Ning Cheng, a complete stranger was an infrequent event.
However, because Ning Cheng could not understand the thoughts of this beggar-like person, he did not dare to put the video card in his Miniature World. This thing could also potentially allow the beggar to snoop over him in secret, and Ning Cheng was not stupid enough to let it happen.
However, Ning Cheng also did not throw away this video card. No matter with what intention the beggar-like person left video card for him, Ning Cheng still wanted to take advantage of it if the situation called for it.
Originally, Ning Cheng had not planned to return to the Ocean Gambling City. However, armed with this video card, he decided to return to the Ocean Gambling City one last time.
……
Returning to the Ocean Gambling City again, was not something Ning Cheng found easy to accommodate, if not for the video card given to him by the beggar. Even if he wanted to return to the Ocean Gambling City to create some ruckus, he now felt reasonably confident that he could definitely leave that place. That beggar, at the very least, must be a Celestial River King or at least a Celestial Lord. Therefore, having such a character’s video card, he did not need to feel too worried.
However, what Ning Cheng did not expect was that no one came looking for him after returning to his Immortal Cave. After making it back, Ning Cheng also learned that both Jing Wuming and Lan Ya had come to this place. He also learned that it was just after he left Ocean Gambling City. This also made him realise that it took nearly two years for his Sea of Consciousness to reach nirvana.
Jing Wuming and Lan Ya had come to his place once again at a later date, for that, Ning Cheng could not help but feel a little grateful in his heart. For these two people to return to the Ocean Gambling City, there was no other reason apart from coming to see him. In any case, it proved that he still had a few caring friends in this strange place.
……
The Ocean Gambling City’s Premier Casino, this was Ning Cheng’s second time coming here.
He anyway had decided to leave the Ocean Gambling City finally and did not know wh
ether he would come back to this place in the future. However, since he now felt emboldened enough, it was only natural that he got back what it owed to him before leaving.
“Kid, how dare you come to this place again? This grandpa will definitely kill you this time, fuck off now.” Ning Cheng had stepped through the door when that brown haired male cultivator spoke out some nasty words with a rough looking face. At the same time, he also threw a kick towards Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng did not even bother to speak a single word. All he did was move sideways slightly and lightly punched the huge bronze drum right outside the casino. Immediately, a muffled ‘dong’ resounded both inside and outside the casino.
“You’re looking for death…..” Deacon Teng immediately followed with a punch at Ning Cheng’s face. In his view, Ning Cheng was just a puny Plundering Life Cultivator; as such, he could smash Ning Cheng into pulp with just a punch.
This time Ning Cheng did not choose to dodge; stretching out his hand, he casually grabbed onto Deacon Teng’s fist. Under the force generated by the circulation of Celestial Essence, he directly pulled down the Deacon’s arm. A flame then flashed over the palm of Ning Cheng’s hand, and the next moment, the Deacon’s arm disappeared without a trace.
“Aah…..” Because of the quickness, this brown-haired deacon could only let out a scream after a while. Without waiting for him to return to senses, Ning Cheng casually slapped him across the face.
“Snap.” With a jarring sound, Deacon Teng directly flew up, with half of his face and most of his teeth slapped into nothingness by Ning Cheng.
The inside and outside of the casino turned utterly silent, as everyone stared at Ning Cheng with shock plastered all over their faces. The Ocean Gambling’s Premier Casino was one of the first-rate forces within the Ocean Gambling City, yet this cultivator in the Plundering Life Realm unexpectedly dared to pick a fight in this place. Even if this Plundering Life Cultivator concealed his cultivation, and actually possessed cultivation of Celestial Gatherer Realm, it still was not enough to pick a fight in this place.
