The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  The moment he felt attacks directed towards his Sea of Consciousness, Ning Cheng decided to stay on this floor to try and extrapolate a spirit technique based on these Spiritual Consciousness attacks. Breaking records within the Celestial Scryer Tower was not his purpose, what he wanted the most was to reap as many benefits as he could from this Celestial Scryer Tower.

  The Spiritual Consciousness attacks that managed to reach his body did not bring about much damage. What’s more, Ning Cheng’s Celestial River Domain could now predict most of the Spiritual Consciousness attacks, which combined with the defences of Everlasting Blue Thunder City, helped him block a majority of the Spiritual Consciousness attacks.

  What made Ning Cheng slightly fearful, however, were the terrifying Spiritual Consciousness attacks that directly struck at his Sea of Consciousness. Such attacks caused Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness to rumble and roar a lot. The pain erupting from the Sea of Consciousness had slowly started to grow in intensity and reached the point of becoming unbearable. If it were not for his starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness, Ning Cheng would have found it hard to keep up with it; moreover, under such attacks, his Sea of Consciousness would have collapsed sooner or later.

  In the face of such terrifying Sea of Consciousness attacks, there was only one option to pursue, which was to speed up to the 65th floor.

  However, Ning Cheng did not come here to rush to the higher floors of the tower, but to gain a deeper understanding of spirit techniques and dao laws. The Spiritual Consciousness attacks on the 64th floor could already hurt his Sea of Consciousness; therefore, logically speaking, once he reached the 65th floor, the attacks on his Sea of Consciousness would grow even stronger.

  Ning Cheng decided to recall the Everlasting Blue Thunder City into his Sea of Consciousness. The reason he recalled the Everlasting Blue Thunder City was not to resist the physical attacks aimed at his body but to block the Spiritual Consciousness attacks aimed at his Sea of Consciousness.

  Although doing this might result in suffering some serious physical injuries, he could still recover from it slowly with his powerful body. However, once his Sea of Consciousness got injured, then even he would find it difficult to recover from it. What’s more, his Treasured Thunder Spear could now transform into a spear network; combining it with the Celestial River Domain, the attacks from these formless blade lights caused only some light injuries.

  At this time, Ning Cheng could not help but feel even more admiration towards Xiao Yu. Since Xiao Yu could rush to the 71st floor, it also highlighted the strength of this fellow’s Sea of Consciousness.

  His originally roaring Sea of Consciousness, with the recall of Everlasting Blue Thunder City back into the Sea of Consciousness, finally calmed down a bit. Although the Everlasting Blue Thunder City had no way to block all the attacks aimed at his Sea of Consciousness, it could at least block half of the attacks. The remaining half of the attacks did not have a huge impact on Ning Cheng’s starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness.

  As Ning Cheng blocked the attacks directed at his Sea of Consciousness and his body, the attacks within Celestial Scryer Tower’s 64th floor finally created a sort of fragile balance with the defence put up by Ning Cheng.

  Occasionally, one or two Spiritual Consciousness attacks fell on Ning Cheng’s body, but Ning Cheng felt too lazy to take care of it. With the strength of his corporeal body reaching the level of Grade 9 God Body, an occasional injury had no effect on him.

  At this time, what Ning Cheng cared about most was his starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness, and directed a significant portion of his Spiritual Consciousness and attention towards his starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness. The Celestial Scryer Tower shot out invisible Spiritual Consciousness thorns and Spiritual Consciousness blades, some of which Ning Cheng managed to block with the help of his Everlasting Blue Thunder City while some of them managed to slip through, forming visible traces within his starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness from time to time.

  Every time his Sea of Consciousness suffered an attack, Ning Cheng would subconsciously twitch. These attacks to the Sea of Consciousness felt no different in strength compared to soul attacks. That is not it, it was just that Ning Cheng’s starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness had grown too strong; if replaced by any other cultivator, they absolutely would not have lasted till the moment.

  During this period, as he suffered through some intense pain, Ning Cheng finally started to grow accustomed to the torture.

  ……

  This was the seventh day since Ning Cheng entered the 64th floor. Seeing that, the cultivators standing on the Culmination Public Square started to suspect that Ning Cheng no longer could ascend to the 65th floor.

  “It looks like the 64th floor is this fellow’s limit. Unfortunately, even if he stays on the 64th floor for a year, he cannot reach the 65th floor.”

  “It already quite amazing for him to last for seven days on the 64th floor. I can affirm that once this person comes out, he would be recognised as another powerhouse.”

  ……

  All kinds of discussions continued. Hearing those discussions, a bearded man finally lost his patience and gave out a cold humph before speaking, “You only know farts. Staying on the 64th floor for seven days is much more difficult than entering the 65th floor. Don’t act like ignorant trash.”

  When people heard this fellow calling them ignorant trash, the cultivators immediately turned dissatisfied. The cultivator, who had initially proclaimed that Ning Cheng could only reach the 64th floor, wanted to retort but when he saw the bearded man, he immediately swallowed the words.

  Almost everyone knew of this bearded fellow, Grand Culmination Starry Skies’ Celestial Scryer Powerhouse, Linghu Qi. This person was not only within the top hundred powerhouses recognised by the Celestial Scryer Tower but also one who is currently ranked within the top ten; more specifically, he held onto the 6th rank. Linghu Qi, a fellow who managed to climb all the way to the 66th floor of the Celestial Scryer Tower, had more than enough qualifications to make that statement.

  “Many thanks to Senior Apprentice Brother Linghu for the advice. I had initially thought that it would be much easier to stay on the 64th floor and not move up.” After recognising Linghu Qi, that male cultivator immediately cupped his fists and offered his greetings.

  Linghu Qi just gave a cold humph and continued staring at the ranking display, without any intention on continuing with the conversation.

  “Senior Apprentice Sister Yiyi, this Wanderer turned out quite powerful. He unexpectedly managed to climb to the 64th floor and even spent seven days on the 64th floor. Master had mentioned that the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City’s Celestial Scryer Tower would contain attacks that directly affected one’s Sea of Consciousness after reaching the 64th floor. How is this fellow able to bear it?” A girl with a veil covering her face spoke out with the same shock as the surrounding cultivators as she kept her gaze trained at the ranking display.

  The female cultivator beside her addressed as Senior Apprentice Sister Yiyi who also had a veil covering her face, spoke out with a sigh of admiration, “Once this person comes out, there definitely would be many academies and starry sky sects scrambling to rope him in. No matter which starry sky this person came from, after coming out, he would be regarded as a starry skies-level powerhouse. However, it might not necessarily be a good thing for him…….”

  “Why?” Asked the girl in confusion.

  The one addressed as Senior Apprentice Sister Yiyi whispered into the girl’s ear, “Junior Apprentice Sister Qiong, just think about it. If this level of a genius showed up without any strong backer, wouldn’t you say that a lot of people would want to possess such a good body, or do you think that they would actually take him in for nurturing?”

  This Junior Apprentice Sister Qiong shuddered and suddenly found herself sympathising with this Wanderer from Jiangzhou. With such an eye-catching performance, this fellow had definitely made it into the limelight. However, if thi
s fellow did not have a strong background, it would be difficult to predict the end.

  Spiritual Consciousness attacks had no trace and remained ethereal,

  for what reason did he think of them as incorporeal? Why not think of them as a ‘good’ raw material?

  Just as he thought of this, picture after picture from Returning to One Leather Scroll flashed through Ning Cheng’s mind. That miserly Master Baichi had said that all things shared a common origin in Returning to One; in other words, everything had some relations to Returning to One.

  He could not condense his own Spiritual Consciousness attack because he had always thought of Spiritual Consciousness as ethereal, something without form. Because of this thinking, he could not condense an incorporeal ‘object’ into something corporeal and tangible.

  All things had common origins; one could condense Celestial Essence into a fireball, blade shadows or even transform them into various spirit techniques.

  Why did he not consider Spiritual Consciousness as something tangible like Celestial Essence?

  Ning Cheng had just formed this thought when his Mysterious Yellow Formless once again rotated and created a new flow. This was an original cultivation method. No, this felt more like a Spirit Technique or maybe even a new skill. It was just like the time when he thought of condensing a celestial wheel, and the Mysterious Yellow Formless had suddenly conjured a celestial wheel. At this moment, just as that thought passed through his heart, a small round shield formed within his Sea of Consciousness.

  “Bang……” Ning Cheng did not have the time to feel happy about it when a Spiritual Consciousness thorn pierced into his Sea of Consciousness, slammed into the small incorporeal shield, and caused ripples to form over it. Just when the Spiritual Consciousness thorn broke, the incorporeal shield also dissolved.

  Ning Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and found himself trembling in excitement. After being tortured by these Spiritual Consciousness attacks for over seven days, he finally managed to condense a small shield with his Spiritual Consciousness. This Spiritual Consciousness shield had managed to block a Spiritual Consciousness thorn.

  Although his Spiritual Consciousness shield and the attacking Spiritual Consciousness thorn had mutually cancelled each other at the same time, it definitely was a start.

  Celestial Scryer Tower, I really love you.

  Ning Cheng almost kissed the Celestial Scryer Tower’s stone door after reaching towards it. He did not know how many times he wanted to condense a Spiritual Consciousness attack that Ning Cheng could call his own; however, no matter what he tried, it never worked. This time, when he decided to enter the Nine-by-Nine Celestial Scryer Tower on an impulse, and suffered through the torment induced by Spiritual Consciousness attacks, he finally managed to succeed.

  Mysterious Yellow Formless Invisible and Ethereal[1], born from the heart. As long as one thought of it, it would immediately materialise it.

  Was this really a Primal Chaos Cultivation Method?

  Ning Cheng, feeling incomparably happy, felt almost invincible. It looks like he would have to wait till he comes out and then look for a suitable starry skies’ Body Refining Cultivation Method, and then return to the Incorporeal Formless incantation.

  With the first success, Ning Cheng once again condensed the ethereal Spiritual Consciousness shield with just a thought. Ning Cheng then started to condense one Spiritual Consciousness shield after another. In the beginning, these Spiritual Consciousness shields would mutually cancel out against the attacking Spiritual Consciousness thorns. However, as time passed, Ning Cheng managed to condense more and more Spiritual Consciousness shields more efficiently and in a much more relaxed manner. After a while, his Spiritual Consciousness shield could not only block the attacking Spiritual Consciousness thorns but also face off against the Spiritual Consciousness blades without breaking.

  As another day passed by, Ning Cheng could not only condense invisible Spiritual Consciousness shields, even it was Spiritual Consciousness thorns and Spiritual Consciousness blades, he could now manifest them with just a thought.

  Sadly, Ning Cheng could not verify the strength of his Spiritual Consciousness blades at this time. In this place, he could only use his Spiritual Consciousness blades to clash with the other Spiritual Consciousness attacks of the Celestial Scryer Tower.

  Seeing that, Ning Cheng finally stood up. He realised that it was now pointless to remain on this floor, now that he already reached his purpose.

  ……

  “That Wanderer entered the 65th floor. I did not expect him to stay on the 64th floor for nine days, before stepping on to the 65th floor. Quite strong ah…..”

  “How long do you think he would stay on the 65th floor?”

  “I think it might be around eight or nine days at least, right?”

  “Want to place a bet. I think he will enter the 66th floor within three days or be sent out.”

  ……

  Although more and more people poured into the public square, because Ning Cheng stayed on the 64th floor for too long, the public square had turned slightly dull. However, now that Ning Cheng stepped on to the 65th floor, the public square once again turned lively. Some tried to place bets, some talked among themselves, and some stewed in envy, while some even began to worship him in admiration……

  At this moment, even some of the Masters of the starry sky academies and sects felt alarmed. Although they did not come in person, they did send people here to inquire about this newly emerging genius.

  “Little Miss, you really have a good eye. You were the one to first notice this Wanderer from Jiangzhou. Now that this fellow reached the 65th floor, it’s just too horrifying.” The green-robed girl, who had initially spoken about Ning Cheng, once again spoke up after noticing that Ning Cheng had entered the 65th floor. Since that moment, when they saw Ning Cheng pass through the 50th floor, the two of them had decided to stay behind with the other cultivators and had not left the public square.

  The female cultivator, standing next to the green-robed female cultivator with glowing eyes, showed a hint of red over her face. Looks like she had read this person correctly. Although no one could say if she had found this Jiangzhou’s Wanderer first, she definitely was the first person among the two to notice him.

  What was fate? Was this not fate? A cultivator, who could step on to the 65th floor, would definitely have a spine.

  The green-robed girl seemed to have read this Little Miss’s mind and quickly spoke from the side, “Little Miss, I think this Wanderer fulfils most of the conditions of a son-in-law. I think we should inform Master about this matter, do you want to request him to come with you to meet Master?”

  “Well, that’s right, I do have a preference for someone like him. I’ll send a message to father right now, I feel like I have a connection with him…..” This Little Miss, wearing a light blue robe, behaved as if without modesty and took out the communications pearl while talking.

  ……

  As Ning Cheng finally entered the 65th floor of the Celestial Scryer Tower, he found the Spiritual Consciousness attacks here had grown significantly powerful compared to the 64th floor.

  Moreover, attacks with a higher frequency on this floor targeted the Sea of Consciousness in waves. Ning Cheng took in a deep breath. He felt sure that if he had not understood Spiritual Consciousness attacks and Spiritual Consciousness defence mechanisms, he might not have held on against these powerful Spiritual Consciousness attacks, which worked in tandem with the corporeal blade lights and demonic beasts on this floor.

  However, Ning Cheng now understood a few things about Spiritual Consciousness defence mechanisms and Spiritual Consciousness attacks. Therefore, with just a thought, he could
condense Spiritual Consciousness shields and Spiritual Consciousness blades one after another. As such, these dense attacks did not hurt him much.

  Ning Cheng did not stop at the 65th floor for long and quickly reached the entrance of the 66th floor. At the same time, he finally felt amazed at the vast universe, which indeed had many powerhouses like the clouds in the sky.

  If not for the Mysterious Yellow Formless Cultivation Method, he could not have coalesced Spiritual Consciousness shields and Spiritual Consciousness blades this easily. It also meant that he would have to come to a stop here and could not have continued going up.

  However, that Xiao Yu had actually managed to climb to the 71st floor; not to mention Xiao Yu, even that fellow named Zhu Guan had reached the 70th floor. On top of that, the third-ranked Ao Heshan had reached the 69th floor, while the fourth-ranked Qidao Xuan had managed to climb to the 68th floor.

  Ning Cheng had no idea if these fellows cultivated any form of Spiritual Consciousness Cultivation Method. However, whether these fellows practised some form of Spiritual Consciousness Cultivation Method or not, he had to be careful when he met them in the future.

  As Ning Cheng thought of this, he pushed open the entrance to the 66th floor and stepped through. On reaching the 66th floor, apart from Spiritual Consciousness attacks increasing in power and frequency, this floor also contained a few Grade 4 starry skies’ demonic beasts.

  Ning Cheng brought out his Treasured Thunder Spear and swept everything away. Even if those Grade 4 starry skies’ demonic beasts tried to confront him, under the Maximal Flame Spirit Technique, they all turned to ashes. As for the Dusk Spiritual Technique, Ning Cheng had not thought about using it since entering the Celestial Scryer Tower.

  In just half a day, Ning Cheng rushed across the 66th floor and entered the 67th floor. As long as the level did not provide any help or supplement his own understanding of cultivation, Ning Cheng would immediately decide not to waste his time on that floor. If he chose to stay on a level, then it must provide some help to his cultivation or at least to his perception.
