On hearing Qian Jierui’s words, Yi Jiufeng and Zhangkang Tianji also looked at Chuan Xinlou with an odd look.
Chuan Xinlou showed a smile and spoke up with his usual uncharacteristic face, “Does Brother Qian think that I whisked away that Wanderer from Jiangzhou? Are you suspecting that Jiangzhou’s Wanderer has a Good Fortune Treasure on him?”
Qian Jierui spoke up with a broad smile, “I didn’t say that.”
Chuan Xinlou nodded, “It’s no wonder that Brother Qian feels confused. I also suspect that Wanderer might have a Good Fortune Treasure on him. After all, only he managed to ascend to the 81st floor of the Celestial Scryer Tower. As far as I know, to get to the 81st floor, one must have a certain understanding of the Laws of Space and even the Laws of Time. Only with that could one accomplish such a task. However, the party in question is just a Celestial Scryer Cultivator, which obviously goes beyond any understanding and expectations. But if this fellow had a Good Fortune Treasure, then it would be much easier to explain.”
“By the looks of it, Brother Qian seems to have forgotten that the four of us made a Blood Oath that the Good Fortune Treasure would be owned jointly by the four of us. Unless the four of us reach an agreement, it would remain this way and will never change. Could it be that Brother Qian is not able to remember our oath? Because I, Chuan Xinlou, for one don’t make jokes about the Blood Oaths that I make.”
Zhangkang Tianji laughed before speaking, “Since Brother Levelled Heart put it this way, so how could someone like me doubt Brother Levelled Heart. However, I heard that the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City has a fragment of the Good Fortune Indestructible Axe. Did Dao Brother Levelled Heart had the chance to see it?”
Although Zhangkang Tianji ostensibly announced that he trusted Chuan Xinlou, his words also indicated that the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City already had a fragment of a Good Fortune Treasure, which had an underlying intent to incite hatred. Chuan Xinlou showed a slight frown on hearing those words but did not bother to answer.
Yi Jiufeng suddenly interjected, “Are you implying that this Earth Origin Bead appeared due to the fragment of the Indestructible Axe?”
Chuan Xinlou had no intention to avoid suspicion, and spoke with a flat tone, “A fragment of the Good Fortune Indestructible Axe can’t trigger the appearance of the Earth Origin Bead. I’m sure that it’s because of the appearance of a complete Good Fortune Treasure.”
……
Ning Cheng, accompanied by Exploding Golden Wasp King Graceful Star, finally left the entrance of the canyon. Although he wanted to find a group of underlings for his Exploding Golden Wasp King, he did not intend to enter the canyon for now. He was about to advance to the Celestial Bridge Realm, so even if he wanted to head inside, Ning Cheng would wait until he advanced to the Celestial Bridge Realm.
On a flat ground, Ning Cheng arranged a huge Spiritual Gathering Array, while also supplementing it with several Defensive Array Formations and Shielding Array Formations. With all the preparation done, Ning Cheng finally took out the praying mat that he originally acquired in the Time Wilderness.
Taking out a pile of Perpetual Moon Pills, Ning Cheng then took out a Harmonising Celestial Pill and immediately swallowed it.
Under the operation of the Mysterious Yellow Formless, incredibly rich Celestial Essence started to flow out and an Essence Qi vortex almost immediately formed around Ning Cheng. Even Graceful Star and Chasing Bull, who currently acted as Ning Cheng’s Dao Protectors got pushed to the periphery. Regardless, the two of them also quickly started to absorb the vibrant starry sky Essence Qi.
Without the Shielding Array Formation, if Ning Cheng made such a big move, it would have definitely attracted a lot of attention. Fortunately, Ning Cheng’s attainments in array formations had long surpassed the detection level of the cultivators in this place. Although the Concealment Array Formations would not eliminate the starry sky Essence Qi fluctuations, it would at least not attract any cultivators.
At this time, the Celestial Essence fluctuations around Ning Cheng reached a limit, and with the ignition of the Harmonising Celestial Pill, the Celestial Essence fluctuations around Ning Cheng turned even more violent. A moment later, intense starry sky Essence Qi fluctuations erupted and filled every inch of space around Ning Cheng before drilling into him like fine threads. Soon Ning Cheng discovered that his meridians had grown a lot tougher during these past years and to such an extent that even if the Celestial Essence fluctuations around him grew twice as powerful, they still would not be able to tear them apart.
This made Ning Cheng feel relieved, and he swallowed two more Harmonising Celestial Pills. Sure enough, the Celestial Essence within Ning Cheng grew even more berserk as the Harmonising Celestial Pills started to melt. At this moment, not only did his meridians feel the impact, but also his Sea of Consciousness began to tremble.
Sensing such changes, Ning Cheng grew happier. This was the first time he felt his Sea of Consciousness tremble before an advancement. Only with a more significant impact could he obtain more gains; otherwise, even though his Sea of Consciousness would grow much stronger under regular promotion, it would not experience a qualitative change.
The frenzied Celestial Essence needed a place to vent anyway, sensing that, Ning Cheng no longer hesitated anymore. To let his Sea of Consciousness experience a qualitative improvement during the advancement, he directly emptied a bottle filled with Harmonising Celestial Pills into his mouth.
“Boom……” This time Ning Cheng felt like someone had set off a stick of dynamite in a warehouse full of explosives. The terrifying Celestial Essence’s scorching power burst throughout Ning Cheng’s body.
His meridians finally could not take it anymore and finally started to tear apart with cracks everywhere. Even his starry sky Sea of Consciousness trembled violently with extreme pain. All of this caused Ning Cheng to feel extremely shocked as he understood that the Harmonising Celestial Pill did not just have a doubling effect. Instead, once the number reaches a certain level, it would immediately trigger a qualitative change.
Swallowing so many Harmonising Celestial Pills had an incredibly potent effect, but he also had many Perpetual Moon Pills around him. Under Ning Cheng’s Mysterious Yellow Formless, the Perpetual Moon Pills started to burn. Pure starry sky Essence Qi began to pour into Ning Cheng as if he was a bottomless pit. But that was not the end. Vibrant starry sky Essence Qi also started to pour out from the praying mat before drilling into Ning Cheng’s body.
At this moment, Ning Cheng felt like the inside of his body had become an explosives testing ground. Not only had the robes covering his body disintegrated, even the land surrounding him, on which he sat, started to crack apart.
After his robed disintegrated, blood started to gush out of his orifices. Sweat and blood began to mix while dripping from Ning Cheng’s forehead. No one had to remind him that he just performed an idiotic act. If he could not hold it together, maybe he would be the first cultivator to explode under the effects of overconsuming Harmonising Celestial Pills.
Cultivators who died under the explosion of medicinal pills were not a minority; however, dying due to overconsuming Harmonising Celestial Pills and their combined effects, it truly would feel ridiculous. How precious were Harmonising Celestial Pills? Each pill commanded a sky-high price. Who would be foolish enough to swallow so many Harmonising Celestial Pills to cause an explosion?
The Mysterious Yellow Formless crazily operated its heavenly cycle, forcing the Formless Cultivation Method to act as a huge grinder and help grind down the huge influx of starry sky Essence Qi. Even so, it still could not keep up with the horrifying flow of Celestial Essence at this time. Moreover, the Celestial Essence only grew stronger with each passing moment reaching horrific levels in just a short while.
At this time, Ning Cheng suddenly sensed some sort of barrier. Sensing that, he roared and tried to direct the Celestial Essence, which was about to explode out of his control, towards it.

“Boom” An explosion resounded, and everything above Ning Cheng’s head turned dark.
This was not because Ning Cheng managed to break through the cultivation shackles, but because of the descent of the horrifying Thunder Tribulations.
“Ka……” At the same time, a subtle sound suddenly resounded within Ning Cheng’s body that only he could hear. Hearing this, Ning Cheng knew that he finally managed to put a crack in the barrier to the Celestial Bridge Realm.
Not waiting for Ning Cheng to rejoice, thirty-six gigantic lightning arcs descended.
“Boom-Boom-Boom……” Lightning arcs continuously struck Ning Cheng’s body, causing blood and flesh to scatter.
Ning Cheng deliberately did not bring out the Everlasting Blue Thunder City and wanted to use these lightning arcs to quench his body and will. He also had a Thunder Spiritual Root, which could absorb the thunder source contained within these lightning arcs.
“Ka-Ka…..” The first wave of thunder tribulation had just descended, but the power contained within it had already broken most of Ning Cheng’s bones and vaporised large patches of flesh. Although his attainments in body refining had already reached the peak of Tier 9 God Body, the power within this first wave of Celestial Bridge Realm’s thunder tribulation had already far exceeded the maximum capacity of the Tier 9 God Body.
The power contained within was not something that he could bear for long.
Regardless, Ning Cheng continued to sit on the ground; however, everything below his knees had transformed into a haze of blood and flesh. Yet, he still did not bring out the Everlasting Blue Thunder City. As a body-refining cultivator, Ning Cheng had to suffer much more pain compared to others. Ning Cheng knew that he had no choice but to endure through all of it. If Ning Cheng failed just after the first wave of thunder tribulation, how could Ning Cheng expect to get out of this place? How could he think about searching for the Gate of Good Fortune with Cang Wei?
What’s more, the powerful Essence Qi within his body was almost on the verge of bursting out. But the horrifying thunder tribulation helped him ease out the rapid expansion of the Essence Qi within his body to a certain extent, despite inducing some fear.
Enduring the excruciating pain of broken bones grinding against each other, Ning Cheng once again gathered the berserk Celestial Essence within his body to smash apart the barrier to the Celestial Bridge Realm.
“Boom……Ka…..”
The first wave of the descending thunder tribulation had just passed; however, the remaining lightning arcs had not yet dissipated from Ning Cheng’s body when the second wave of thunder tribulation descended. Judging by the momentum, this wave definitely contained more than thirty-six lightning arcs.
Ning Cheng bit his teeth, but still did not bring out the Everlasting Blue Thunder City. Instead, he crazily gathered the Celestial Essence raging inside his body and forcefully directed it into the barrier to the Celestial Bridge Realm.
Subtle ‘kaka’ sounds started to emerge within his body before they all merged into a torrent. It felt as if a primal chaos-filled space had opened up within his body. A feeling of extreme relaxation then emerged within Ning Cheng’s heart as the berserk Celestial Essence finally found a vent. At this moment, whether it was the strength of Ning Cheng’ Celestial Essence or the toughness of his meridians, or even his starry sky Sea of Consciousness, each of them grew exponentially strong.
“Boom-Boom-Boom……” The second wave of thunder tribulation finally reached his body. One thunder tribulation arc after another, and a lot bigger compared to the ones in the first wave of thunder tribulation, struck Ning Cheng’s body without any gaps in between.
However, at this moment, Ning Cheng not only did not suffer a more substantial injury, even his original wounds healed at speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, the Harmonising Celestial Pill’s violent Celestial Essence Force, the terrifying burning Essence Qi from the Perpetual Moon Pills as well as the Thunder Spiritual Source that Ning Cheng had absorbed started to improve Ning Cheng’s cultivation rapidly. Even though Ning Cheng’s cultivation had grown at a crazy pace in the past, it never experienced such insane improvement.
As his cultivation soared, the various injuries started to disappear, while his Sea of Consciousness also started to expand rapidly.
This wave of thunder tribulation had just passed when Ning Cheng finally stood up, and the millions of Perpetual Moon Pills around him burned up to form into a dense pill mist. As Ning Cheng’s cultivation continued to climb, the third wave of thunder tribulation descended.
Just like the first and the second wave of thunder tribulations, where Ning Cheng did not bring out the Everlasting Blue Thunder City, Ning Cheng still did not bring out the Everlasting Blue Thunder City in the face of this third wave of thunder tribulation. Unfortunately, Ning Cheng had no access to a better body refining cultivation method, nor could he use his Mysterious Yellow Formless to come up with one due to the lack of direction. Otherwise, this thunder tribulation would definitely provide him with a huge help in refining his body.
While Ning Cheng took the crazy bombardment of the lightning arcs head-on to surmount the tribulation, Chasing Bull and Graceful Star stood in the distance acting as Ning Cheng’s protectors. Seeing the scene in front of it, Chasing Bull felt truly shocked. It had seen many people surmounting tribulations. Even when it came to Celestial Bridge Realm’s Thunder Tribulation, it had seen many people undergoing it; however, where had it seen such a powerful thunder tribulation? In the face of such a thunder tribulation, even an ordinary Celestial Bridge Cultivator would not manage to last past the first wave of lightning arcs.
“My master’s thunder tribulation is so terrifying that it’s almost comparable to the thunder tribulation for the Heaven Seated Realm.” Chasing Bull finally opened his mouth and spoke. After that, it seemed to have recalled that the Exploding Golden Wasp King could not speak yet. Thinking of this, it could not help but shoot a glance filled with scorn at this Exploding Golden Wasp King. “Graceful Star, you need to speed up your cultivation too. You can’t even speak right now. If you kept following my master like this in the future, don’t you know that you would only be losing my master’s face?”
The Exploding Golden Wasp King had been absorbing the overflowing Perpetual Moon Pill Mist around them, which had spread out due to the terrifying thunder tribulation, for cultivation. But now a stupid bull dared to say that it lost master’s face. Such a remark instantly made it angry, and its wings immediately opened up, while an angry screech came out of its mouth. The next moment, the powerful Wasp King’s imposing aura pressed down on to Chasing Bull.
With the anger shown by the Exploding Golden Wasp King, the Exploding Golden Wasps behind the Exploding Golden Wasp King immediately flew up in a frenzied craze and surrounded Chasing Bull. At the same time, every Exploding Golden Wasp also screeched with anger.
“Elder Brother, I was only joking, can’t I make a joke? It’s too petty. You win, this Grandpa Bull yields to you…..” Facing the Exploding Golden Wasp King’s anger, Chasing Bull suddenly gave up and quickly retreated a dozen steps to give way. At the same time, it also swore that once its master surmounted this tribulation, it would definitely give this little wasp some lessons.
Ning Cheng looked up at the gradually clearing sky. He knew that he had
finally surmounted this tribulation. As he absorbed the last dregs of the Essence Qi, the last bit of injury also disappeared without a trace.
After clearing away the dust and grime covering his body, Ning Cheng finally put on a set of robes and swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness. The surroundings instantly cleared up, and Ning Cheng found that his starry sky Sea of Consciousness had improved to a whole new level. At this moment, Ning Cheng felt that he could quickly kill a Celestial Gatherer Cultivator with a Spiritual Consciousness Blade.
Even Ning Cheng could not gauge as to how strong had his Celestial Essence grown compared to the past. At the same time, his Celestial River Domain had also become more robust, while the area it enveloped had also increased significantly.
Was this the Celestial Bridge Realm?
An inexplicable self-confidence emerged within his heart and mind. Sure enough, the more one’s strength improved, the more confidence one gained.
Even after advancing to the Celestial Bridge Realm, Ning Cheng still did not have any Celestial Wheels; however, Ning Cheng no longer felt any interest in obtaining Celestial Wheels. Despite that, with just a thought, three vague Celestial Wheels simultaneously appeared behind Ning Cheng. He wanted to head to the Yellow Sand Lake to snatch the Earth Origin Bead. Therefore, his plan would have a much better outcome if other people thought that he was still only a Celestial Gatherer Cultivator.
However, before heading to the Yellow Sand Lake, he also wanted to help Graceful Star find a group of underlings.
“Master, congratulations on entering the Celestial River Realm and becoming a Celestial Bridge Powerhouse.” Seeing Ning Cheng put away the Spiritual Gathering Arrays and come out, Chasing Bull immediately shot towards Ning Cheng with a flattering look over its face.
