The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Ning Cheng did not hesitate to take out another ten thousand purple coins on seeing this and handed it over, “What else?”

  The shop assistant looked around a few times to make sure that no one paid attention to their conversation and spoke, “Three days ago, someone came to inquire about the same and asked if anyone had come to inquire about the Sifting Ferry Grass….”

  The shop assistant had not yet finished his words when he found that Ning Cheng had already left long ago. He quickly put away the purple coins and went about greeting the guests as if nothing happened.

  He was not a fool. Three separate groups of people had come here to inquire about the Sifting Ferry Grass, which indicated a problem. He truly didn’t want to get involved with such a thing.

  Ning Cheng felt anxious. He immediately went around and bought a few jade strips containing the map of the Thousand Mound Forest before rushing in without considering anything else.

  He had initially come here to inquire about the Sifting Ferry Grass and not the blue-robed female cultivator and did not feel entirely sure about it. But he now felt confident that the person who came here three days ago to ask about the people looking for the Sifting Ferry Grass, had intentions of chasing down Tian Muwan and the blue-robed female cultivator. No matter what happened between him and Tian Muwan in the past, he did not want to see Tian Muwan injured and left alone in this strange world.

  ……

  Deep in the Thousand Mound Forest, Tian Muwan hid in a mountain cave holding on to the blue-robed female cultivator. The blue-robed female cultivator’s aura grew more unstable with each passing moment; at the same time, Tian Muwan’s aura also showed signs of instability and injuries.

  The blue-robed female cultivator gave out a sigh, “Heh, I didn’t expect that I would find myself in such a helpless situation in such a small place. No wonder father kept saying that I have a shallow cultivation foundation.”

  “Big Sister, let’s get out of here first. As for the matter with the Sifting Ferry Grass, we can think of it slowly. Even if we find the location of the Sifting Ferry Grass, we won’t be able to take it.” Tian Muwan spoke up with some concern. After experiencing all the things that happened to her till now, she no longer was the same urban woman who did not understand anything.

  She also knew that places with high-grade starry sky grasses would usually be in territories of top-grade starry sky demonic beasts. Therefore, even if the Thousand Mound Forest did indeed contain Sifting Ferry Grass, it would be deep within the forest. With their current strength, even if they found the Sifting Ferry Grass, could they collect it?

  The blue-robed female cultivator seemed to have understood what Tian Muwan thought. She looked at Tian Muwan and smiled, “Muwan, you don’t have to worry, I still have a few cards that I haven’t used. It doesn’t matter how powerful those starry sky demonic beasts are, we just need to find the Sifting Ferry Grass. But for now, we can’t get out at all.”

  “Why?” Tian Muwan asked in confusion.

  The blue-robed female cultivator shook her head and spoke, “You haven’t lived in a True Cultivation World for long; therefore, you still are yet to understand the scheming minds of these people. I’m sure those bastards who want my stuff know that I’ve come to the Thousand Mound Forest by now.”

  When Tian Muwan heard the words of the blue-robed female cultivator, she instantly understood a few things. Since they found that only the Thousand Mound Forest contained the Sifting Ferry Grass in the Mysterious Yellow Starland, then others can also certainly guess that they were in the Thousand Mound Forest.

  “I have no choice but to come here. If I can find the Sifting Ferry Grass, those people chasing us in the Thousand Mound Forest would only face death….”

  The blue-robed female cultivator suddenly stopped talking, and her expressions immediately turned ugly to look at.

  A sneering voice sounded out, “You’re right, but unfortunately, you have not found the Sifting Ferry Grass.”

  The next moment, four Daoist shadows descended, two in front and two behind Tian Muwan and the blue-robed female cultivator.

  Tian Muwan’s expressions also turned ugly. Of the four men, she had seen two of them before at the siege in Shui Clan. Looking back at her big sister’s expressions and words, she understood that these four were all powerhouses in the Eternal Realm, which for her was still an unreachable level. If it wasn’t for big sister, any one of them could have crushed her, a cultivator who hadn’t even reached the Celestial Shatterer Realm, with a single finger.

  The blue-robed female cultivator’s expression calmed down by this time. She casually looked at the few cultivators in the Eternal Realm surrounding her and said, “If I fall here today, my father will definitely be able to find you all by tomorrow. I can tell you that whether I get to live or not, you definitely would not stay alive for long.”

  “Haha….” A tall man laughed, “I, Zhu Zhengfeng, don’t care about others threatening me. Tomorrow’s things, let’s leave that for tomorrow. But since someone pulled out my Interdependence Chamber of Commerce’s Starry Sky Vein, I can let you go if you give us your storage ring first.”

  The blue-robed female cultivator shook her head, “I only have one storage ring, but there are four of you. Who should I give it to?”

  “You want to provoke the four of us, you still too tender…. aah….” Zhu Zhengfeng had just spoken up with a sneer when it turned into a scream.

  The next moment, his body turned into a weak shadow as he let out a tearing cry, “Ying Daoqi, I will kill you….”

  When it reached the last word, his body disappeared without a trace.

  Almost at the same time as Zhu Zhengfeng screamed, another old man gave out a scream. However, he did not enjoy the same luck as Zhu Zhengfeng. He had just screamed out when a flaming fireball instantly wrapped around him.

  Of the four cultivators in the Eternal Realm, in just a blink of an eye, only two remained. Of the two, one wore a blue coloured Confucian-type scholarly robe, and the other was a sturdy-looking man.

  The blue-robed Confucian scholar held up his cupped fists towards the blue-robed female cultivator and spoke, “As you can see, your provocation succeeded. Of the initial four, only two remain. By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Ying Daoqi, and the Mysterious Yellow Starland’s Scattered People Assembly is what I created. This is Tie Shen, of Moyi City’s Tie Clan. You should know by now that Tie Shen is one of the two powerhouses of the Tie Clan. I think you should know now what to do?”

  While talking, Ying Daoqi’s blue robe fluttered without any wind as his majestic imposing aura oozed out, which then transformed into a whirlwind that pressed down on the blue-robed female cultivator.

  Although this imposing aura did not specifically target Tian Muwan, Tian Muwan still could not help but spew out an arrow of blood before collapsing to the ground.

  Although the blue-robed female cultivator bled from the corner of her mouth, she still showed a smile and said, “Alright, I’ll give it to you.”

  With that, her hand fell on her storage ring. Despite the severe injuries of the blue-robed female cultivator, which had almost wholly suppressed her cultivation. Ying Daoqi and Tie Shen still focussed all their attention on the blue-robed female cultivator’s actions. After all, this blue-robed female cultivator had easily killed two Eternal powerhouses despite her injuries.

  “Take it….” The blue-robed female cultivator’s hand slightly jerked, and the violent imposing aura around her disappeared instantly. In the same moment, a weak light escaped from the hands of the blue-robed female cultivator.

  Not good.

  Ying Daoqi and Tie Shen’s face changed, and they immediately stepped back. However, at this time, the weak-looking light seemed to have infected the space around them, turning it completely purple. A terrifying heat quickly enveloped everything inside this space, trapping Ying Daoqi and Tie Shen in the centre.

  In just two breaths, Ying Daoqi and Tie Shan’s robes disintegrated, their muscles started to melt, and their bones simultaneously started snapping one after another. The horrifying temperature of this purple space burned them from the outside and worked its way into their bodies. Even if the two were Eternal-level experts, they could not delay it for even a moment.

  Ying Daoqi gave out mournful screams as he raised his hands and brought out an escape talisman. In just a moment, the escape talisman turned into clumps of white light that then covered up what was left of Ying Daoqi’s skeleton before disappearing.

  Although Ying Daoqi managed to escape with a part of his skeleton, Tie Shan did not enjoy such good luck. A few moments after Ying Daoqi fled Tie Shan disintegrated into nothingness.

  ……

  One would find many cultivators roaming around the outer periphery of the Thousand Mound Forest, but the number of cultivators took a sharp drop about 300,000 miles into the Thousand Mound Forest.

  Ning Cheng, by now, had already crossed about a million miles and had entered the depths of the Thousand Mound Forest. However, he knew in his heart that even if Tian Muwan and the blue-robed female cultivator were in the Thousand Mound Forest, it would not be easy to find them.

  After travelling about a million miles into the Thousand Mound Forest, he had seen and encountered too many natural array formations and top-grade demonic beasts. But even with the Starry Sky Sea of Consciousness, Ning Cheng knew that he had not covered much ground.

  “Boom-Boom….” Sudden celestial essence explosions immediately attracted Ning Cheng’s attention, who was still searching around in the Thousand Mound Forest. It was already the third day since Ning Cheng ventured into the Thousand Mound Forest to look for those two women.

  Judging by the celestial essence fluctuations, at least one of the involved parties must be an expert in or above the Life and Death Realm. Ning Cheng did not overthink and immediately changed directions with a wave from his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds.

  After an incense stick worth of time, Ning Cheng finally stopped. The ones fighting were a tall male cultivator and a demonic cultivator. The male cultivator had Eternal-level cultivation, but when Ning Cheng’s gaze swept by, he could see that the cultivator had some severe, almost fatal, injuries. In contrast, the demonic cultivator had a leopard head and a robust healthy-looking human-like body, giving off a tyrannical aura similar to a starry sky grade nine demonic beast.

  From the messy ground around them, one could tell that they have been fighting for quite a while now.

  “Bao Xi, you and I always minded our own business, why are you behaving so unreasonably and pestering me day and night?” The man spoke with a grudge.

  The leopard-headed demonic cultivator smiled and spoke, “Zhu Zhengfeng, do you still remember what you said when I came to Moyi City and asked you for a pot of None-to-depend-on Wine? You called me a brute and told me to fuck off. This father anyways had planned to come after you in the future but since you came to me so kindly, how can I let you go without acting as a proper host?”

  Zhu Zhengfeng?

  Ning Cheng immediately understood. He knew this fellow, the master of Interdependence Chamber of Commerce and the one responsible for snatching the Mutual Dependence Wine from the Mo Clan. Since this person appeared here, it meant he definitely wanted to chase down the blue-robed female cultivator.

  “Who is it?” Sensing the slight fluctuation caused by the arrival of Ning Cheng, Bao Xi immediately turned alert.

  Ning Cheng did not bother to answer and directly brought out a long spear-type Dao Artefact and shot out with the spear.

  When Ning Cheng’s long spear burst out, Bao Xi and Zhu Zhengfeng, both felt the majestic imposing aura bearing down on them. At the same time, Zhu Zhengfeng felt a fierce murderous intent wrap around him. Despite such a strong killing intent, Zhu Zhengfeng still could not detect its point of origin.

  Bao Xi immediately understood that this person wanted to help him kill Zhu Zhengfeng. No matter the other party’s intentions, Bao Xi absolutely would not miss such an excellent opportunity and unleashed a huge claw shadow directed at Zhu Zhengfeng at almost the same time.

  Ying Daoqi’s sneak attack had already severely injured Zhu Zhengfeng back then while this damned Bao Xi relentlessly boxed him in and hunted him for a full day and night. Therefore, at this moment, when Ning Cheng attacked him, he could not even accurately detect the location from where Ning Cheng attacked. Moreover, before he could even do anything, Bao Xi’s giant claw immediately slapped down.

  Just when Zhu Zhengfeng brought out a weapon to block Bao Xi’s giant claw, Ning Cheng’s spear shadows pierced through his domain. Only at this moment could Zhu Zhengfeng locate the origin of Ning Cheng’s spear shadows filled with killing intent. It was a single spear completely traceless and shadowless, which had already reached his heart.

  “Poof….” Ning Cheng’s long spear-type Dao Artefact pierced through the already tattered robes and into Zhu Zhengfeng’s body. As the fierce spear force transformed from killing intent poured into his body, Zhu Zhengfeng screamed out mournfully. The meridians in his body quickly broke down inch by inch, while even his life essence gave bursts of pain.

  Zhu Zhengfeng’s life essence was just about to escape when Bao Xi caught it in its hand. A demonic flame erupted, and Zhu Zhengfeng’s life essence gave out even higher-pitched screams.

  Ning Cheng did not care about Zhu Zhengfeng’s life essence at all. Instead, he directly grabbed Zhu Zhengfeng’s storage ring.

  Almost the same moment that Bao Xi killed Zhu Zhengfeng’s life essence, Ning Cheng took away Zhu Zhengfeng’s storage ring.

  “Young man. You sure have guts to grab something from my hand.” Bao Xi loosened his hand, and Zhu Zhengfeng’s lifeless body silently fell to the ground.

  Ning Cheng put on Zhu Zhengfeng’s storage ring smoothly onto one of his fingers and calmly spoke up, “Why do I seem to remember that this storage ring was on Zhu Zhengfeng’s hand? Oh, is Zhu Zhengfeng your avatar?”

  Bao Xi laughed in anger, “Let’s see how strong you are….”

  As his hand slammed down, a huge claw shadow descended.

  When the claw shadow came out, Ning Cheng found that it was precisely the same as what he saw when the two had joined hands to kill Zhu Zhengfeng. However, it was only when the claw shadow appeared over his head did Ning Cheng realise that he could no longer see the blue dome of heaven.

  This claw shadow seemed to represent the sky as it descended, causing the ground beneath his feet to shake. Ning Cheng’s domain also started to crack like a spider web.

  Feeling the violent suppressive aura bearing down, Ning Cheng found it challenging to breathe. At this moment, the long spear-type Dao Artefact in his hands seemed to have gained a great deal of weight, making it extremely difficult to lift it up.

  Ning Cheng felt surprised at this. He had once killed a cultivator who had just entered the Life and Death Realm. Moreover, with the rapid development of his cultivation over the past few months, Ning Cheng knew that he might not match up to the Eternal-level experts, but he felt that he at least would not be too far off.

  However, he now understood that a considerable difference existed between him and Eternal-level powerhouses. If it was not for Zhu Zhengfeng’s previous injuries, and Bao Xi holding Zhu Zhengfeng down, he could not have successfully executed the sneak attack.

  Ning Cheng, however, also knew that he could not retreat at this moment. He crazily stimulated his celestial essence and shot out the long spear-type Dao Artefact.

  The next moment, his long spear turned into something akin to a giant pillar to greet the terrifying claw shadow that came crashing down.

  “Boom….” As the claw shadow slammed on
to Ning Cheng’s long spear, a powerful counter-attack blew over, causing Ning Cheng’s bones to rattle.

  “Boom-Boom….” As the claw shadow kept pressing down, it felt as if the sky itself was pressing down on it. The long spear-type Dao Artefact, just like Ning Cheng, gave out cracking sounds under the suppression.

  The ground under Ning Cheng’s feet began to crack apart and slowly extend out. At this moment, Ning Cheng’s legs shook even more. Finding that his strategy might not be the right one, he realised that he should not fight against Bai Xi recklessly when it came to celestial essence.

  At this time, Ning Cheng did not hesitate to blow out dozens of Spiritual Consciousness Blades, targeting Bao Xi’s horrifying giant claw first.

  Almost at the same time that Ning Cheng shot out dozens of Spiritual Consciousness Blades, Bao Xi’s giant claw that nearly covered the entire sky suddenly lifted up. Ning Cheng’s heart had just loosened up when the giant claw once again pressed down. This time, it gave off more than twice the imposing aura that it carried previously.

  Damn it,

  Ning Cheng cursed internally. This demonic cultivator definitely knew how to play with people.

  “Ca-Ca….” Sounds like knives trying to split cotton sounded in Ning Cheng’s ears, following which Ning Cheng’s face turned a bit hard to look at. From the looks of it, his Spiritual Consciousness Blades could not penetrate into Bao Xi’s Sea of Consciousness at all.

  “Katcha!” Ning Cheng’s long spear-type Dao Artefact could not hold on and directly broke under the suppression. However, because of the Spiritual Consciousness Blades interfering with the claw shadow for a moment, Ning Cheng managed to move back a few hundred feet and fell outside the range of Bai Xi’s giant claw.

  Bao Xi’s dark face flushed with a tinge of red. Although he had the absolute upper hand against Ning Cheng, he could not do anything to Ning Cheng.
