The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  “Ok, after we arrive at Culmination Starland, we can meet up again during our free time. This is my communication pearl.” Ziche Jun spoke while taking out a communication pearl and handing it to Ning Cheng.

  After Ning Cheng put away Ziche Jun’s communications pearl, he asked with some doubt, “Brother Ziche, when I had my starry skies’ wanderer-like appearance, how were you able to recognise me?”

  Ziche Jun showed a faint smile, “We can talk about this in the future. I will take my leave first.”

  With that, Ziche Jun quickly entered the crowd and disappeared from Ning Cheng’s sight.

  Ning Cheng silently looked at Ziche Jun’s disappearing back, although this Ziche Jun had appeared suddenly, Ning Cheng still could not gauge him even when standing next to him. This fellow’s concealment method really was too powerful. Moreover, it was not just the powerful concealment method; it was also the first time for him to encounter someone with such a powerful ability to track other people.

  Tracking someone

  , as Ning Cheng thought of this, he immediately felt slightly surprised. He suddenly thought of Ziche Jun, if this fellow could follow him, could he actually make his escape? Moreover, the matter relating to the death of Lou Pingchuan, did he know about it?

  After a long time, Ning Cheng shook his head, put these troublesome things aside for the time being, and followed the crowd into the hall that handled the Identity Jade Card related matters.

  This place issued Identity Jade Card for entering the Culmination Starland; however, this Identity Jade Card was nothing more than just a ticket to enter the starland. Even if this place were the Culmination Starland, no one would actually take the time to investigate and record the three past generations of his family. Instead, they just gave a jade card that established one’s identity, without registering his or her aura or any other distinguishing things.

  The hall contained a sufficient amount of cultivators to handle the Identity Jade Card related matters; moreover, because of the enormous size of the building, it did not feel crowded at all.

  Ning Cheng quickly paid the 100 million green coins for an Identity Jade Card to enter Culmination Starland and did not stop to look around the starry skies’ public square. After putting away the Identity Jade Card, he immediately walked out of the hall.

  On reaching Culmination Starland, the first thing that Ning Cheng wanted to do was to improve his cultivation and then earn enough celestial coins to purchase a top-ranked starry skies’ battleship that could cross the different starry sky boundaries within the void.

  Two female cultivators walked in front of Ning Cheng, and Ning Cheng glanced at them out of instinct. However, when Ning Cheng’s gaze fell on one of the female cultivators, he almost screamed out in surprise.

  This female cultivator had a slim back and gave out an extremely familiar aura, causing Ning Cheng almost to call out to her as Qionghua.

  However, this female cultivator had a Celestial Novice Cultivation; moreover, Ning Cheng realised that this was just a teenage girl, based on what he saw.

  “Wait-wait….” Ning Cheng had just called out when he remembered that he was still looking like a white-haired old man. Ning Cheng, however, did not care about anything else; he took out a drop of Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence and swallowed it before rushing after them.

  The moment the Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence entered Ning Cheng’s mouth, it exploded out as the most abundant source of life before scattering throughout Ning Cheng’s body. Ning Cheng’s hair almost instantly reverted to its black colour, while his lost longevity also recovered quickly. In just a few breaths, Ning Cheng once again returned to his youthful appearance.

  However, at this moment, Ning Cheng had no time to marvel over the heaven-defying aspects of Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence as he rushed towards these two female cultivators and called out, “Two Senior Apprentice Sisters, please wait…..”

  Both those female cultivators stopped and looked at Ning Cheng with doubt. Seeing the two veiled female cultivators stop in front of him, Ning Cheng’s heart sank to the bottom.

  He felt sure that the female cultivator on the right was Qionghua, the same temperament, the same eyes, the same figure and everything else. However, as Ning Cheng saw, this female cultivator did not look too old; rather, she looked no older than an ordinary high-school girl did.

  However, Ning Cheng felt even more heart-wrenching pain when this girl looked at him; her eyes remained without any sign of recognition. If she really were his Qionghua, would she not have already rushed over to him or at least recognise him?

  “This Senior Apprentice Brother, who are you looking for?” The older-looking female cultivator spoke up.

  “I…..” Ning Cheng did not even know what he was supposed to say. However, on seeing the female cultivators frowning, he quickly spoke up, “I just wanted to ask the names of you two Senior Apprentice Sisters.”

  The female cultivator gave out a cold humph and simply ignored Ning Cheng. She then quickly brought out a Celestial River-class Battleships, and then spoke to Shi Qionghua’s look alike maiden and spoke, “Let’s go.”

  Ning Cheng watched the Celestial River Battleship rush out of the public square and enter Culmination Starland. Only at that moment did he remember that he should catch up to them.

  However, what caused Ning Cheng to feel even more disappointed was that although he rushed out of the public square on his knockoff battleship, he could no longer see the two female cultivator’s battleship.

  Why was this happening?

  Ning Cheng felt dazed as his battleship rushed towards Culmination Starland, even forgetting to take control of it.

  He had snatched back the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin from Yue Clan, the same Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin that he had given to Shi Qionghua. With how Shi Qionghua felt about him, as long as she still had a breath in her, she would never discard something he gifted her. Since the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin ended up in Yue Clan’s hands, it also indicated that Qionghua had most likely perished.

  Ning Cheng had prepared for such an outcome, even if it meant ascending to the heavens, he would do everything to find Qionghua’s life essence. However, what should he do now, especially when he saw Qionghua today? Moreover, how did she turn into a teenage girl?

  “I’m a reincarnation, so I’m born with a powerful life essence…..”

  Shi Qionghua’s words once again lingered in Ning Cheng’s ears,

  reincarnation!

  Ning Cheng almost instantly understood what was going on; most likely, Shi Qionghua had reincarnated once again. Only this time she reincarnated within the starry skies. From the looks of it, Shi Qionghua most likely was a remarkable existence in her first life; otherwise, she would not have reincarnated these many times.

  “Heavens, thank you…..” Ning Cheng knelt on his battleship for the first time and thanked the heavens on letting him see Qionghua once again. With Qionghua heading to Culmination Starland, Ning Cheng believed that he could find her once again.

  “Bang……” The airship gave out a muffled explosion, which caused Ning Cheng to sober up immediately. Although he stood on the battleship, he knew that something had hit his knockoff battleship. Moreover, even the back of his battleship had erupted in flames.

  Ning Cheng did not even think about it before rushing out of the battleship. Although he had purchased this battleship, it was, however, a knockoff; as such, he did not feel very distressed about losing it. The only battleship that he cared about was his Sifting Orchid; however, its level was too low and remained unfixable for now.

  “Boom….” Ning Cheng had just come off the battleship when his knockoff battleship exploded and turned into a blazing fireball.

  “Hey!” A cold shout immediately drew Ning Cheng’s attention, coming from a beautiful silver-coloured battleship parked not far from him. Ning Cheng was not a rookie anymore, and he quickly realised this battleship was a real starry skies-level battlesh
ip.

  Most likely, this battleship had intentionally struck his warship; however, Ning Cheng did not even care about the explosion. Rather, he had no time to care about it; he did not even care about bringing out a flying sword and directly flew towards Culmination Starland.

  “You stop.” A crisp voice stopped Ning Cheng. At this moment, a deck stretched out from the starry skies’ battleship suspended in space with a few people over it.

  On the deck stood three cultivators, two men and a woman; moreover, the female cultivator standing in the middle had a full circle Celestial Gatherer Cultivation and wore a light blue robe. However, the two male cultivators standing at each side of this female cultivator had at least an Undead Realm cultivation.

  “May I ask what advice Senior Apprentice Sister has for me?” Ning Cheng stopped and spoke with his cupped fists. He could clearly make out that this female cultivator was the one in charge despite the lowest cultivation among the three.

  The female cultivator looked Ning Cheng from top to bottom before she spoke with a sneer, “You sure have some self-awareness, even realising that I want to teach you a lesson. Did you know that your battleship had almost hit my battleship?”

  Ning Cheng knew that he had lost control of his battleship; however, this party had also deliberately blown apart his warship. It is just that he knew that it was his fault, while also not caring much about the knockoff battleship; at the same time, he did not want to draw attention to himself. He never expected the other party to come looking for him even after destroying his battleship.

  “I am very sorry for that matter. I had lost my train of thought, which caused me to lose control of my battleship. Although I lost my battleship, at least it did not hurt anyone. Fortunately, the explosion did not damage Senior Apprentice Sister’s battleship.” Ning Cheng spoke with clear words, stating that it was indeed his fault while also indicating that despite the loss of his battleship, the other party’s battleship did not suffer any damage. Which implied that they should also forget about this matter.

  “So, what you mean to say is that since I destroyed your battleship, I should not find trouble with you?” As the female cultivator spoke those words, she flew out of the battleship and came to a stop in front of Ning Cheng.

  “Doesn’t dare.” Ning Cheng had just arrived at this place and did not want to offend anyone right off the bat. What’s more, he was also in a hurry to find Shi Qionghua.

  The female cultivator looked at Ning Cheng and spoke with a pride-filled voice, “I knew you were a poor sod from another starry sky. I’ll give you two choices, one would be to apologise to me, and the second one…..”

  “This Senior Apprentice Sister, I had already apologised a moment ago. If Senior Apprentice Sister feels dissatisfied with it, I will apologise again. I really hadn’t noticed it, and I accept that it was my fault.” Ning Cheng spoke with a calm tone.

  The female cultivator smiled, “You call this an apology? Apologise to me by kneeling on the ground. Moreover, how can you call those thoughtless words from before as an apology?”

  Ning Cheng remained silent. He did not mind apologising for his mistake, but to kneel on the ground to apologise to a female cultivator who he met for the first time, it was something that he would never do without any compelling reason.

  Seeing Ning Cheng silent, the female cultivator’s face immediately turned ice-cold and spoke, “If you don’t want to apologise, take out a million celestial coins. However, looking at your robes, I think it might be a bit too hard for you to take out a million celestial coins…..”

  Ning Cheng knew that ‘celestial coins’ were a collective term used for the different currencies circulating within the starry skies. At the same time, the most valuable ‘celestial coins’ on his body were green coins. Therefore, without any hesitation, he took out one million green coins and handed it to the female cultivator. Facing this kind of a situation, he had no choice but to be patient. With two cultivators in the Undead Realm staring at him with full alertness, what could he do? Moreover, those two also served to highlight the extraordinary background of this female cultivator.

  This female cultivator received the one million green coins but threw them into the sky, letting them scatter into the starry skies.

  Just as Ning Cheng tried to make sense of her actions, the female cultivator’s grandeur soared as she spoke with an even colder voice, “Taking out one million green coins, did you take me for a beggar? This fairy said one million purple coins, which are 100 million green coins, bah!”

  Ning Cheng simply did not wait for this female cultivator to say a second sentence, took out a 100 million green coin card, and put it in this female cultivator’s hand. Then without saying a word, he turned around, and with a flash, disappeared from that location.

  The female cultivator looked at the 100 million green coin card in her hand and frowned before whispering to herself, “I didn’t expect a Celestial Novice Cultivator, even one without a celestial wheel, to really come up with 100 million green coins. Moreover, this fellow not only willingly took out 100 million green coins; he did not even give a courtesy bow. Interesting.”

  Regardless of what she found interesting about his actions, Ning Cheng had complied with her request of taking out 100 million green coins as compensation. As such, she also could not continue to find trouble with this person.

  ……

  An hour later, the huge blue-coloured starland still kept stretching out in front of Ning Cheng. Seeing many people flying in a particular direction, Ning Cheng speeded up and followed the many flying weapons to land at a large open area.

  When Ning Cheng landed on the ground and saw the huge city in the distance, he felt astonished. This was not a ‘city with walls’ per se but a ‘city without any borders’; rather, it was better to refer it like a ‘starry sky city’.

  This distant city had an extremely faint dreamlike blue layer of mist that shrouded it on all sides. As a Grade 3 Celestial Array Master, Ning Cheng could make out with a glance that it was a City-protecting Grand Array.

  Ning Cheng had heavily pondered over such an issue in the past and concluded that when it came to establishing real top-tier cities, instead of fortifying it with refined walls, it was much better to use top-tier grand arrays for better protection. Today, he had finally validated that conclusion when he saw this city protected by a top-tier array.

  Despite the seemingly vast grand array surrounding the city, one could still see a few huge characters suspended in the air just outside it, Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City.

  A feeling of majesty, grandeur and magnificence oozed from these few characters. As Ning Cheng glanced at these words, he could not help but secretly praise the city within his heart;

  this was a real starry sky city.

  This place even contained an extremely powerful Forbidden Space Restriction; moreover, even if one disregarded that, under the imposing majesty of this starry sky city, all the cultivators entering the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City would subconsciously put away their respective flight-aiding apparatuses and walk inside on foot in an orderly fashion.

  Ning Cheng followed the numerous cultivators and headed to the designated entrances to the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City. In this place, not to mention that he could not sweep out with his Spiritual Consciousness, even if he could sweep out with it, Ning Cheng did not dare to bring it out casually.

  The closer he got to the city entrance, the more Ning Cheng felt the richness of the starry skies’ Essence Qi inside. A kind of unreasonably respectful feeling emerged within his heart, which caused Ning Cheng to feel slightly surprised. He speculated that it should most likely be a result of the strong influence of the grand array’s workings combined wi
th the aura of the master of this starry sky city.

  This starry sky city did not have any city walls, nor did it have patrolling cultivator guards; however, the moment Ning Cheng walked near to this starry sky city’s entrance, he felt as if countless pairs of eyes had locked on to him. As such, he decided not to look around carelessly.

  In was not until after he entered the city did the feeling disappear, which allowed Ning Cheng to feel slightly relaxed.

  After stepping inside, this starry sky city looked exactly like he pictured it to be; rather, the only difference was that the scale of this city turned out slightly more extensive than what he had initially thought. Moreover, he also found Spiritual Consciousness Shielding Restrictions everywhere, which meant that he could not sweep out with his Spiritual Consciousness wantonly. At the same time, Ning Cheng had a hunch that this starry sky city was a lot larger than what it appeared on the surface.

  With his cultivation, if Ning Cheng wanted to search for Shi Qionghua in this starry sky city, it would turn out even more challenging than finding a needle in a haystack. Ning Cheng sighed as he thought if one day, his Spiritual Consciousness cultivation reached the level of bypassing right through these Spiritual Consciousness Shielding Restrictions, he would never hesitate to sweep out with his Spiritual Consciousness.

  As Ning Cheng thought of this, he immediately came to a stop.

  Why could his Spiritual Consciousness not bypass those restrictions?

  His starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness initially could ignore ordinary restrictions. Although the restrictions inundating this starry sky city looked powerful, there eventually would come a day where his Spiritual Consciousness could definitely sweep through them all.

  Although these thoughts flashed through his mind, it also left behind a seed within Ning Cheng’s heart. Only by becoming stronger and more powerful would he be able to make others listen to his words, which in turn would allow him to handle all of his matters.
