  ……

  Ning Cheng had no idea about the Rootless Green Bamboo or even about the role of this Rootless Green Bamboo. However, that did not mean that Ning Cheng did not know about the other materials that he came across.

  Mystifying Sifting Wood, Cutting Moon Steel, Frigid Air Heavenly Silk, although these were not too precious artefact-crafting materials, Ning Cheng still knew about them.

  In just a few days, Ning Cheng ended up collecting a bunch of these artefact-crafting materials. As for starry skies’ spirit grasses, he did not find even a single strain.

  “Boom” A loud explosion erupted, and Ning Cheng immediately felt the ground under his feet tremble violently.

  Not waiting for Ning Cheng to react to what had happened, an ice-cold chill passed through and almost penetrated into his bone marrow. The ice-cold chill that almost infiltrated into his bone marrow brought his mind to the brink of collapse; the horrifying killing intent almost caused him to kneel down on to the ground.

  Ning Cheng slowly retreated to a detached wall, while feeling incomparably shocked in his heart. He knew that in the face of such horrifying killing intent, he could not resist at all.

  “Swish….” Another shrill sound erupted and this time Ning Cheng clearly traced it back to a blade light. He had never seen such a terrifying blade light. He even felt sure that if this blade slammed on to the starland under his feet, it might end up splitting the starland in half.

  As the blade light descended, it felt as if half the sky had started to pour down. Even if Ning Cheng remained far away from this blade, the formidable blade intent and the murderous aura caused his legs to tremble even when standing against the wall.

  “Boom…” Another loud explosion erupted as the blade shadow exploded with a fishy scent. What surprised Ning Cheng was that someone had managed to block such a terrifying blade.

  A moment later, a figured emerged from the void, that of a middle-aged cultivator wearing golden robes. At the same time, a gigantic starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider appeared in front of this golden-robed cultivator.

  “So powerful….” Ning Cheng muttered a sentence.

  “That’s Senior Tang Jiu, a Heaven Seated Expert from Striking Order Starry Skies. That starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider is also quite powerful, should be a Grade 7 starry skies beast.” Almost at the same instant when Ning Cheng realised that he was not alone, a voice passed through his ears.

  Not far from him, in just a little more than three feet, was a Celestial Gatherer Cultivator, also leaning against the wall. With cultivation at the full-circle of the Celestial Gatherer Realm, yellowish hair that looked quite delicate, this fellow looked like a handsome but effeminate man.

  This cultivator on seeing Ning Cheng looking over gave a smile, revealing a row of neat white teeth. “Hello, my name is Ziche Jun, from Kun Zhuo Celestial River.”

  “I’m called Ning Ruocheng.” Ning Cheng casually came up with a name, while feeling amazed at this Ziche Jun’s concealment cultivation method, which could even hide from his starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness. Although Ning Cheng had not deliberately looked around for him, it definitely indicated that this Ziche Jun had some excellent abilities.

  Such a formidable Celestial Gatherer Cultivator, why would he take the initiative to find him, an unremarkable starry skies’ wanderer without a celestial wheel? Moreover, this Ziche Jun came from Kun Zhuo Celestial River; could he use this opportunity to ask something?

  “Bang-Bang-Bang….” During the time Ning Cheng exchanged words with Ziche Jun, Tang Jiu and the starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider had already exchange quite a few blows, splitting the skies with their rampaging Celestial Essence. Some of the cultivators with lousy luck could only lay prone to the ground at this moment and could not move at all, even if they wished to escape.

  The strength of this Grade 7 starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spiders had already reached a terrifying level, to the point that even Ning Cheng found fear rising inside of him when looking at this monstrosity. He suspected that a single strand of this spider’s silk could quickly seal him up.

  Another two Taoist shadows rushed over. The Grade 7 starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider seemed to have understood that the situation had turned against it; therefore, with a push from its long-legs, it immediately brought up a spacial fluctuation before it disappeared without even a trace left behind.

  Seeing the Grade 7 starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider disappear, Ziche Jun continued, “You might not be familiar with Senior Tang Jiu; however, you must have heard of his elder brother, Senior Tang Yitang.”

  Ning Cheng immediately replied, “Yeah, I heard that Senior Tang Yitang is an Eternal-level expert; moreover, his daughter Tang Yu is also participating in this time’s Celestial Scryer Genius Try-outs…”

  Ziche Jun showed a smile and spoke, “Tang Yu came in third this time; however, her cultivation is far beyond mine.”

  “Brother Ziche is too modest; with Brother Ziche’s ability; I think you might not turn out much worse than Tang Yu.” Ning Cheng did not give out a casual statement; just based on Ziche Jun’s concealment ability, he could deduce that this fellow was not weak at all.

  Ziche Jun looked on with some confusion. By all accounts, this cultivator should have known about him as he took up the tenth place in the Time Wilderness Tryouts of Striking Order Starry Skies. Moreover, he was also heading to Grand Culmination Starry Skies’ Finals as a representative of Striking Order Starry Skies. Therefore, why did this Ning Ruocheng not know him? Since this fellow did not recognise him, how did he recognise Lou Pingchuan?

  Ning Cheng also had his own thoughts about whether to ask Ziche Jun about a few things related to Kun Zhuo Celestial River, when he saw dozens of figured flying past him, seemingly in the same direction.

  Ziche Jun took out a communications pearl and immediately spoke out in amazement, “Looks like people found some Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruit in this place; Brother Ning, if you don’t mind, we can go there together.”

  “Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruit? Is it not the main starry skies’ spirit fruit required to refine the Harmonising Celestial Pill?” Ning Cheng spoke out in surprise. In the vast starry skies, there were not many high-grade spirit grasses; as such, things like the Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruit were quite scarce.

  Generally, for a starry skies cultivator, as long as they possess sufficient talent and powerful comprehension ability, then even without the help from starry skies’ spirit pills, he or she could still advance from the Celestial Novice Realm to Celestial Shatterer Realm then to the Celestial Gatherer Realm. Ning Cheng himself was a prime example; he had advanced to the Celestial Shatterer Realm using the praying mat and then proceeded to the Celestial Gatherer Realm with the help from Perpetual Moon Pills[1].

  However, advancing from the Celestial Gatherer Realm to the Celestial Bridge Realm was not a simple matter, even for a top-ranked genius. Unless they had heaven-defying talents, he or she would still have to rely on starry skies’ medicinal pills. Moreover, the best medicinal pill for such an occasion was the Harmonising Celestial Pill. Furthermore, the most essential spirit fruit required to refine the Harmonising Celestial Pill was the Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruit, not something easy to find. Now that Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits had appeared in this place, it was no wonder that so many cultivators had crazily passed through this area.

  “That’s right; it is the main starry skies’ spirit fruit required to refine the Harmonising Celestial Pill.” Ziche Jun spoke with affirmation.

  “Well then, many thanks to Brother Ziche for sharing this opportunity with me.” Ning Cheng did not hesitate to agree to Ziche Jun’s proposal. The two of them stepped onto a flight-type weapon and quickly rushed out.

  In just half an hour, Ning Cheng and Ziche Jun arrived at the place with Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits.

  Looking at the densely packed cultivators bombarding the natural array formation, Ning Cheng sucked
in a breath of cold air. With so many cultivators, would he have the chance to snatch Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits? What’s more, among the cultivators attacking the array formation, the crowd not only consisted of Celestial Scryer Cultivators, it even contained many Celestial River Cultivators.

  Standing near the periphery, he could see that there were at least a dozen Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruit Trees within this natural array formation; moreover, each fruit tree was laden with many mature Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits.

  “Brother Ning, there is no way to join forces in this place; once this array formation breaks open, we can only rely on our own luck.” Ziche Jun, on seeing so many cultivators attacking this natural array formation, realised that each of them would have to depend on their own luck.

  “Good.” Ning Cheng nodded, with so many people eyeing those fruits, there truly was no way to join hands and cooperate in this scenario. The cultivators waiting at the sidelines for the Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruit had already reached close to 50 to 60 thousand in number, while there was only a dozen Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruit Trees in this place, which equated to a maximum of a few hundred Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits.

  With tens of thousands of people wanting to snatch those few hundred Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits, it meant odds of about one hundred people to a fruit.

  Even if the natural array formation turned out even more powerful, it still did not have the strength to last too long under the joint attacks of tens of thousands of cultivators. In just an hour since Ning Cheng arrived, this natural killing formation finally gave out a soft ‘katcha’ sound. The next moment, when the next volley of weapon lights hit it, it finally blew open with a bang, and the entire defensive array formation collapsed almost instantaneously.

  The tens of thousands of cultivators swarmed in like crazy. Ning Cheng also did not hesitate to wield the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds. Initially, he stood at the end; however, with a slight wave of the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, he almost instantly arrived amid those dozen Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruit Trees. Within such a small space, Ning Cheng made full use of the speed and flexibility of the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds.

  Although several other cultivators had rushed in at the same time as Ning Cheng, no one would choose to pay attention to others in such a situation. At this moment, everyone had all their energies focussed on Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits.

  Ning Cheng did not choose to pick the outermost Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits; instead, he decided to utilise the most significant advantage of his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, its speed. In almost an instant, he arrived at the last spirit tree and in one fell swoop whisked away more than a dozen fruits. In just two sweeps, Ning Cheng took away more than 30 Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits.

  Although Ning Cheng had already swept through the trees twice, he had not even used up a full breathe of time, while the other cultivators still rushed in. Ning Cheng prepared himself for one more sweep when his Spiritual Consciousness felt that this natural array formation protected more than just Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruit Trees. In the depths of these dozen Essence-Harmonising Celestial Fruit Trees, he could feel a slightly more powerful yet fluctuating starry skies’ Essence Qi aura.

  In any case, Ning Cheng felt satisfied with these more than 30 Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits. Sensing the starry skies’ Essence Qi fluctuations, Ning Cheng did not think of anything else and rushed towards the source. When Ning Cheng saw a large swath of land covered in starry skies’ spirit grasses, he almost went into shock. From what he saw in front of him, this broad swath of land contained many starry skies’ spirit grasses, ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 6, this swath of land even included a few Grade 7 starry skies’ spirit grasses.

  At this moment, Ning Cheng did not care about anything else and immediately rushed up. With a wave of his hand, he immediately took in a large portion of spirit grasses.

  However, other cultivators soon rushed in. These cultivators also did not speak to anyone else and, just like Ning Cheng, started crazily picking the starry skies’ spirit grasses in the area.

  Ning Cheng had already reached the forefront while taking in all the starry skies’ spirit grasses in his path as he rushed forward. Even if Ning Cheng madly harvested everything he could, he could take away only a little more than half of the spirit grasses in this swath of land. As for the other portion, the latecomers had already swept it clean.

  Despite the help from the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds and Ning Cheng’s mad rush to snatch spirit grasses, he was only slightly faster than the other cultivators were. Combined with him not actively plundering from others, no one who came after him took the initiative to stop him. During such a frenzied moment, who would consciously try to intercept people anyway? At this moment, every cultivator focussed only on himself or herself.

  The strength of the starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness finally revealed itself at this time. In only ten breaths of time since Ning Cheng had started collecting the Spirit Grasses, his Spiritual Consciousness had already locked onto a formidable yet repressed aura.

  This kind of aura shocked Ning Cheng, as it felt similar to the one he encountered not too long ago. This aura definitely belonged to a Grade 7 or above starry skies Stone Stripped Spider. If he actually ended up crossing paths with such a formidable starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider, it would only result in his death.

  Ning Cheng was just about to turn around and escape as far as possible when his Spiritual Consciousness passed through an area with some broken restrictions and swept past the body of a huge starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider.

  Only, this starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider laid prone on the ground, motionless and apparently dead. The powerful aura that he had just felt previously came from this dead starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider.

  This dead starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider was at least a Grade 7, if not above, starry skies’ demonic beast.

  Ning Cheng thought to himself while feeling ecstatic in his heart as he immediately rushed towards it as fast as possible.

  Low-level starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spiders did not count for much; however, starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider at Grade 7 or above could definitely fetch a significant chunk of celestial coins in the market.

  Ning Cheng did not overthink about it and directly put the body of this starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider into his storage ring. However, just as he put away the body of this starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider, another powerful murderous aura suddenly rumbled down.

  It was a mighty Celestial River-level Domain; the murderous intent had almost bound Ning Cheng. With a twist of his figure, Ning Cheng finally managed to evade this murderous aura, which then exploded on to the wall right in front of him.

  “Boom…..” The wall in front of Ning Cheng immediately cracked open, revealing a huge pile of a variety of spirit grasses and other materials.

  Looks like this wall had a hollow interior, which remained isolated from Spiritual Consciousness detection

  . If someone had not cracked it open, no one would have noticed the things inside.

  Ning Cheng, on the verge of leaving, immediately rushed over. Raising his hand, he sucked in all the stuff into his storage ring while simultaneously initiating the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud’s teleport-like shift.

  These things piled over each other, unlike the scattered spirit grasses outside, which allowed Ning Cheng to take them away all at on
ce.

  Ning Cheng had just left when the place where he stood exploded with a loud bang, which also caused the entire wall to collapse.

  An extremely violent and angry aura then rushed out in Ning Cheng’s direction. However, by the time this aura reached the cultivators near the periphery, Ning Cheng had already disappeared without a trace.

  “Just now a cultivator snatched a large number of Essence Harmonising Celestial Fruits and a large pile of starry skies’ spirit grasses. Moreover, this fellow also snatched the body of a Grade 7 or above starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider along with countless Thunder Firmament Crystals…” After this murderous aura finally dissipated, an angry longhaired cultivator suddenly materialised. Not able to trace Ning Cheng’s aura anymore, the cultivator immediately began to publicise whatever he suspected. Unfortunately, he only knew about the starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider and the Thunder Firmament Crystals. As for the other things inside, he had not seen them clearly, before Ning Cheng snatched them away.

  Even if this fellow could not get it, he would not make it easy for Ning Cheng.

  “The body of a Grade 7 or above starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider? Thunder Firmament Crystals?”

  The many cultivators in the starry skies’ Spirit Grass Garden felt shocked on hearing those words. Even Heaven Seated Experts valued Thunder Firmament Crystals highly, let alone low-level starry skies cultivators present in his place.

  “It’s impossible; not to mention Thunder Firmament Crystals, if this place had even one Grade 7 or above starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider, none of us would have survived.” Some of the cultivators immediately raised their questions.

  “I saw that the Grade 7 starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider had already died. I am afraid that the fellow who ran past us previously after robbing the things here might also have collected the body of that starry skies’ Stone Stripped Spider. Moreover, that fellow had not only grabbed those things but also grabbed a bunch of high-grade starry skies’ spirit grasses and many more high-end materials.” The cultivator who spoke was someone who had closely tailed Ning Cheng but had not obtained much.
