  Today, she finally saw it, and with her own two eyes. She also realised that although she could defeat her opponent with her current strength, it would actually be difficult for her to kill this fellow in her current condition.

  If she couldn’t kill this cultivator right now, it would definitely fester into revenge in the future. What kind of consequences would she have to face then? Maybe at that time, Mi Jin might not even have the slightest chance to kill Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng finally came to a stop on the streets of Coherent Pearl City. Killing intent and imposing aura still kept oozing out of him, growing stronger with each passing moment. He would never stop till he killed this Daoist Priestess in front of him.

  Even if he had to deploy Sunset’s Twilight, he would make sure to kill this woman.

  “Stop…..” After learning about Ning Cheng’s powerful potential, Mi Jin no longer wanted to offend someone like Ning Cheng in her current condition.

  But why would Ning Cheng stop? Did she stop to greet him before attacking him in secret? The spear in his hand once again vanished while Spear Traces forged a path through the void.

  This path only contained a few Spear Traces initially, but as Ning Cheng’s Spear Intent soared, the number of Spear Traces grew more and more. From initial few traces to a few dozens and then to hundreds. Each Spear Trace’s trail had violent flames filling it up, which merged with Ning Cheng’s Celestial Rover Domain before rushing towards Mi Jin.

  Before these Spear Traces, any obstruction would crumble to dust and crushed into nothingness. That’s right, this was Ning Cheng’s Nothingness Flame Patterned Spear.

  Mi Jin’s eyes grew grave as she saw the endless explosions brought about by the seemingly infinite Spear Traces. Although she did not feel fear towards Ning Cheng, she understood that Ning Cheng’s Spear Intent had already transcended the realm of Partial Omniscience; in this realm, one could use Spear Intent to form into anything without any extra trouble, without the slightest dependence on external forces.

  Even if she was a Heaven Seated Powerhouse, she could not ignore Ning Cheng’s spear.

  Two white lights once again shot out almost simultaneously. At the same time, the Domain of a Heaven Seated Powerhouse stretched out completely. The moment it collided with Ning Cheng’s Domain, every building around them crumbled to dirt and rubble. The cultivators within those building somehow managed to rush out of the buildings in time and escaped to a safe distance.

  Although Coherence Pearl City’s City Master had also arrived at the scene, he did not dare to step in and stop the fight. He was only a cultivator in Heaven’s Mandate Realm, and one of the two powerhouses battling it out in the streets was a powerhouse in the Heaven Seated Realm. As for the other fellow who could fight against a Heaven Seated Powerhouses, how could that fellow be simple?

  Moreover, how could someone like him, a Heaven’s Mandate Cultivator, stop the two from fighting?

  “Boom-Boom-Boom……” Once again, Mi Jin’s white lights managed to block Ning Cheng’s many Nothingness Flame Patterned Spear Shadows. Forcing countless Celestial Essence explosions, which ploughed through the street and created numerous huge gullies.

  As the violent force of impact erupted, Ning Cheng was once again forced back, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.

  Ning Cheng lamented in his heart that his cultivation was still too low after all; but even so, it would not change his decision to kill this Daoist Priestess. Although the explosions had forced him back and had forced him to spray out a few mouthfuls of blood, he also saw that Daoist Priestess pushed back a few steps by his Nothingness Flame Patterned Spears and even spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Although Mi Jin received more injuries, it was not due to Ning Cheng, but from the backlash from recalling her Celestial Essence before the fight started. Now, due to the force contained within Ning Cheng’s Celestial Essence, vomiting a mouthful of blood was only normal.

  While still in the air, Ning Cheng turned around and shot back. The spear in his hand once again turned into a Spear Line, which would be hard to notice even using Spiritual Consciousness. It crossed the distance between him and Mi Jin with teleport-like speed and appeared right in front of Mi Jin’s eyes.

  This technique was something that Ning Cheng had prepared before casting Sunset’s Twilight, Traceless.

  Using this technique, even if this Daoist Priestess had higher strength, she would have to give it all to resist it. That way, Ning Cheng could then use that momentary gap to use Sunset’s Twilight to take the life of this Daoist Priestess. Even if he couldn’t reap the life of the other party, he would make sure that the other party would have to pay a heavy price.

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, stop…..” Shi Qionghua’s voice suddenly arrived causing Ning Cheng’s Celestial Essence to stagnate. The next moment, his Traceless Spear also disappeared without a trace.

  Ning Cheng did not continue with his attack. Instead, he quickly shot forward and arrived in front of Shi Qionghua before speaking, “Qionghua, how do you feel?”

  Since Shi Qionghua called him out as Senior Apprentice Brother Ning and even asked him to stop fighting, then most likely the forbidden technique she used on herself had finally dissolved. For Ning Cheng, Shi Qionghua’s recovery was much more important than killing that Heaven Seated Daoist Priestess.

  Shi Qionghua didn’t directly answer Ning Cheng’s question and only spoke, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, Uncle Master Mi Jin has always held kindness towards me. She thought that you had most likely plotted against me, and that’s why she ended up sneak attacking you.”

  Whether good or bad intentions, only she knew in her heart, but she didn’t want to say it. At this time, she only wanted to look at Ning Cheng, as if to engrave Ning Cheng’s figure into her mind.

  Mi Jin on seeing Ning Cheng stop immediately felt relieved. Although she was obviously stronger compared to Ning Cheng and her cultivation was also much higher compared to Ning Cheng, but Ning Cheng acted in a completely crazed manner. It finally made her feel fear in her heart. Even she could not describe this fear in words. If it weren’t for the dignity of a Heaven Seated Powerhouse, she would have already pleaded, no ask, for Ning Cheng to stop.

  At this moment, when Shi Qionghua spoke, she also came over and said, “Sacred Lady Qionghua is right. This incident started due to a misunderstanding. This Mi Jin apologises to Dao Friend here.”

  As a Heaven Seated Powerhouse, apologising to a cultivator below the Heaven Seated Realm was a very humiliating affair. However, Mi Jin also understood it very well that Ning Cheng was by no means an ordinary cultivator in the Celestial River Realm. Once this fellow managed to advance to the Heaven Seated Realm, maybe he could kill her in seconds.

  There was a saying in the starry skies that without Heaven’s Seat, all were ants. Once a cultivator truly advances to the Heaven Seated Realm, it would not just mean advancing to the Heaven Seated Realm. Not only would one then obtain their own Heaven Seated Title, one would even start to induce the traces of their very own Grand Dao.

  Because of this reason, every starry sky cultivator in the Heaven Seated Realm and above held enormous pride in his or her hearts. Therefore, how was it possible for these prideful Heaven Seated Cultivators to willingly bow down and apologise to ordinary cultivators? However, Mi Jin had developed a fear towards Ning Cheng’s methods during that previous but short fight. This fear forced her to consider the weight of making this fellow an enemy of her Everlasting Sacred Shrine.

  With Shi Qionghua recovered, Ning Cheng already felt overjoyed. The only reason why he acted in such desperation was that the other party had injured Shi Qionghua. Now that Shi Qionghua recovered, and even asked him to stop, Ning Chen
g would not willingly go up to find trouble with this woman.

  Ning Cheng already understood that he was not yet an opponent against this woman, even if he cast the Dusk Spirit Technique, he wouldn’t necessarily manage to defeat her. Not to mention, once he cast the Dusk Spirit Technique, he truly would not be able to use it again for a short while.

  “Qionghua, Luofei, let’s leave.” Ning Cheng didn’t want to continue with it, and he didn’t want to exchange words with this woman. Fighting within the Coherence Pearl City and even destroying the Coherence Pearl City to such an extent, he no longer could stay hidden in this place.

  Mi Jin immediately spoke up, “Qionghua is the Sacred Lady of my Everlasting Sacred Shrine. She can’t go with you.”

  Ning Cheng coldly stared at Mi Jin and spoke, “And why do I care about your Everlasting Sacred Shrine? Today, even if your Everlasting Sacred Shrine’s Sacred Master showed up, she wouldn’t be able to take back Qionghua.”

  It was one thing to keep fighting with Mi Jin in the Coherence Pearl City, but it was a completely different matter to let Mi Jin take away Shi Qionghua. He would never let the other side take Shi Qionghua away, and now that Shi Qionghua finally recovered, he wanted to take Shi Qionghua away immediately.

  Mi Jin’s expressions turned complicated. She truly didn’t want to offend this fellow, and although she knew that he wasn’t her opponent, she realised that she couldn’t kill him without suffering injuries that are even more substantial.

  At this point, she could only look at Shi Qionghua. If Qionghua truly did not want to leave, then she also couldn’t do anything.

  Shi Qionghua looked at Ning Cheng with a soft gaze before whispering, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I’m sorry. But I’ve decided to follow Uncle Master Mi Jin back to the Everlasting Sacred Shrine. Thank you for saving me all these times.”

  Ning Cheng looked at Shi Qionghua and felt his heart falling into an icy cavern. Although he wanted Shi Qionghua to stay with him, if Shi Qionghua herself did not want that, then what could he do?

  Looking at Ning Cheng’s lost expression, Ji Luofei spoke up from the side, “Senior Apprentice Sister Qionghua, you were his wife in your past life. So why don’t you want to come with us?”

  Shi Qionghua shook her head and calmly looked at Ning Cheng before speaking, “I’m the Sacred Lady of Everlasting Sacred Shrine, and since Uncle Master came here, then it means that I must return with Uncle Master. As for the past incarnations, after all, is said and done, it only belongs to the past.”

  She then turned to Ji Luofei and spoke, “Luofei, your husband is a good man. Don’t leave him.”

  After saying all this, she then turned to Mi Jin and spoke, “Uncle Master Mi Jin, let’s go back.”

  “Good.” Mi Jin took Shi Qionghua and with a flash, came out of Coherent Pearl City before disappearing from Ning Cheng’s sight.

  Ning Cheng stared blankly at the city’s entrance from where Shi Qionghua disappeared with a lost look over his face. It looked like someone had taken away the most precious thing from him.

  Ji Luofei also felt upset at this and came forward before gently grabbing Ning Cheng’s hand and speaking up in a soft voice, “Dear, let’s leave too.”

  “Then let’s leave this place.” Although Ning Cheng spoke those words, his foot did not even move an inch.

  Ji Luofei knew everything that happened between Ning Cheng and Shi Qionghua, she also knew that Sister Qionghua held the same position as her in Ning Cheng’s heart. However, she could not help in this situation at all, and could only wait and stand quietly by Ning Cheng’s side.

  After a long time, Ning Cheng suddenly sobered up, then squeezing Ji Luofei’s hand, he spoke up with a trembling voice, “Luofei, I can’t let Qionghua go like this. Just as I can’t do without you. I’m going to chase after her.”

  Ji Luofei clenched Ning Cheng’s hand and spoke, “If you can’t put it down and want to bring Sister Qionghua back then I’ll come with you.”

  “Okay….” Ning Cheng’s eyes immediately sparkled. Reaching out and hugging Ji Luofei with his other arm, the two of them almost instantaneously disappeared from Coherence Pearl City without a trace.

  After Ning Cheng and Shi Qionghua left, Coherence Pearl City once again resumed it usually hustle and hubbub. Only the street had many gullies crisscrossing each other, as evidence to the battle between two powerhouses. Many cultivators also knew that Coherence Pearl City’s City Master had also shown up when these two powerhouses fought in the street. However, it wasn’t until the two powerhouses left did the Coherence Pearl City’s City Master show himself to the others.

  ……

  “Qionghua, are you thinking about your past lives?” Seeing Sacred Lady Qionghua continually looking back in the direction of Coherence Pearl City, Mi Jin finally gave out a sigh and spoke. She knew that Sacred Lady Qionghua must have recalled something from her past life.

  “Uncle Master, I didn’t….” Shi Qionghua bowed her head. No one knew it better than her about how much she longed to return to Ning Cheng’s side.

  Mi Jin suddenly spoke up, “The reason you are the most suitable Sacred Lady for our Everlasting Sacred Shrine, is because you have already reincarnated nine times. However, this is the last time you reincarnate, since you broke the Pure Yin Body in your past life. If you die in this life, you will disappear within the vast samsara. From then on, there would be no Qionghua.”

  Apparently, she could already make out that Shi Qionghua should have already recalled some vague memory impressions from her past life. If that was the case, then she might as well speak out about it for both their sakes.

  “The Everlasting Sacred Shrine chose me as a Sacred Lady because I’m a reincarnated being?” Shi Qionghua looked up and locked gazes with Mi Jin.

  Mi Jin hesitated for a while but did not say anything.

  Shi Qionghua gave out a sigh and spoke, “Uncle Master Mi Jin, you know that I have a hidden disease. If one day I fell in or because of the Everlasting Sacred Shrine, what do you think he would do at that point? No one knows his temperament better than I do. He may not be able to do anything about the Everlasting Sacred Shrine right now, but once he gains that ability, it would definitely spell doom for the Everlasting Sacred Shrine.”

  Mi Jin remained silent. She understood whom Sacred Lady Qionghua talked about, and she did not doubt what Shi Qionghua said. That male cultivator had not yet reached the Heaven Seated Realm, yet still had terrifying strength. Once he advanced to the Heaven Seated Realm, she felt sure that even the Sacred Master might not be a match against him. In the face of such a cultivator, if he really had any designs towards the Everlasting Sacred Shrine, then there was a distinct possibility that their Everlasting Sacred Shrine might even cease to exist in the future.

  Although they looked everywhere for a Sacred Lady like Qionghua, it was all to carry forward the legacy of their Everlasting Sacred Shrine. However, if Sacred Lady Qionghua’s words turned into facts, then their Everlasting Sacred Shrine could potentially face an existential crisis.

  Mi Jin hesitated for a long time before speaking, “Qionghua, if your first life, you definitely were an incredible person. Once your cultivation reaches a certain extent, you would automatically recover the memories of your first life. At that time, our Everlasting Sacred Shrine would also become one of the most powerful forces within the vast starry skies, all due to your presence. However, once you recovered the memories of your first life, perhaps you would be the first to kill that man who took your Yin Essence.”

  Shi Qionghua looked away from Mi Jin and stared at the vastness of the starry skies in front of her. Even if she recovered the memories from her first life, she felt sure that she would never kill that man. This was what she was willing to do. Only with him did she feel happy.

  Seeing Shi Qionghua not giving a reply to her words, Mi Jin continued, “In the future, once you recover the memory of your first life, maybe you would even thank our Everlasting Sacred Shrine for choosi
ng you. Also, you should already know that Sacred Master has steeled her heart to kill the cultivator who took you away. I’m afraid that he would not be able to escape, let alone grow up. During the time you’ve been missing, Sacred Master managed to break through the Life and Death Realm and had advanced to the Eternal Realm.”

  Reaching this point, Mi Jin’s expressions finally changed. A moment later, a very ordinary-looking flying chariot had rushed over to stop right in front of her airship. As for the grade of the weapon, she simply couldn’t perceive it.

  After refining the Starry Sky Wheel’s 49th restrictions, Ning Cheng could seal its aura while also have some control over its shape-changing abilities. Even Eternal-level cultivators would not be able to tell that this was the Starry Sky Wheel even if they stood in front of it and used their Spiritual Consciousness. Therefore, Mi Jin, who was only a Heaven Seated Cultivator, had no chance of recognising it.

  Shi Qionghua’s eyes flashed with surprise before it again turned into a sigh. She had long guessed that Sacred Master would manage to advance to the Eternal Realm in a short time; however, she didn’t expect it to happen so soon. Since Sacred Master advanced to the Eternal Realm, so even if Ning Cheng chased after her, so what?

  Mi Jin also gave out a sigh, “He returned, you can go and talk to him. It’s best to keep the conversation short. I’ve already sent out the message, and any disciples from our Everlasting Sacred Shrine nearby would be rushing to this place as soon as possible.”

  “Sister Qionghua came.” Luofei, standing on the front deck of the Starry Sky Wheel, immediately cried out in delight.

  Ning Cheng excitedly stopped the Starry Sky Wheel, opened the restrictions, and let Shi Qionghua in.

  “Qionghua….” Ning Cheng called out in excitement. Although he only spoke two characters, his expressions conveyed every word that appeared in his heart. Ji Luofei also returned to the cabin in silence. She had a hunch that Sister Qionghua should have recovered at least a part of her memories from her previous life.
