“If Yue Wanxue lost even half a hair, I will make sure to make a trip to Ou Clan.” Ning Cheng brought Ou Zhentian closer to him and spoke with a cold tone to his face.
Ou Zhentian felt like someone had suddenly plunged him headfirst into ice-cold water. The previous feeling of humiliation had already disappeared and instead replaced with fear and panic.
Ou Clan did not even have a single Eternal-level cultivator. Since this powerhouse can easily pick him up and put him in such a state, then this expert could definitely eradicate his Ou Clan. Killing an Ou Zhentian was just like killing an ant.
Just when Ou Zhentian felt fear and panic taking over his mind, something suddenly appeared in his Dantian. Before he could understand what had happened, Ning Cheng threw him on to the deck of the merchant ship, “Ou Zhentian, I placed a restriction in your Dantian. I have nothing to talk with you right now, but once I finish a few things here, I will take a trip to your Ou Clan. If this restriction doesn’t come undone in a year, do you understand what would happen to you?”
“I know. I know…..” At this time, Ou Zhentian no longer cared about his reputation.
“Warren, I have something to do here. I will return in a year. If you have any news, send me a message. My communication pearl is still active since back then.” After Ning Cheng threatened Ou Zhentian into submission, he then spoke to Warren.
He currently wanted to refine the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow and had no time to go to Ou Clan. He believed that Ou Clan would not act in foolishness, and would not kill Warren and Yue Wanxue because of such things.
“Senior, Yue Wanxue has been taken away to the Culmination Starland. Within a year, this junior would not be able to bring her here….” Ou Zhentian’s tone almost felt like he was crying. In fact, he initially wanted to take away Yue Wanxue and Warren and completely vent his anger on them to restore some semblance of his prestige. Naturally, he also coveted the good things Warren and Yue Wanxue obtained from the Crow Star.
Moreover, even if one were an idiot, people knew that he coming here had nothing to do with Yue Wanxue or Warren. After just advancing to Heaven Seated Realm, Ou Zhentian learned that Ou Hongxin had fallen while gaining experience in the Ancient Desolace Abandoned Land. As such, it was only natural for him to come here to seek revenge. However, when he came here, he found that the person who killed Ou Hongxin had already died, which meant that he could no longer get revenge. But after investigating things even more in-depth, he then learnt that a few good things had appeared in Crow Star and that a person named Cheng Nianqiong had taken away. Cheng Nianqiong was in the same team as Warren, Yue Wanxue and Ou Hongxin. Although most of the harvest went to Cheng Nianqiong, Warren and others definitely obtained some and wanted to get his hands on it.
“Then wait for me in Culmination Starland for a year. If I come to Culmination Starland and don’t see you, you know the consequences.” Ning Cheng’s tone did not even contain a shred of politeness.
Ou Zhentian quickly spoke up, “Yes, senior. But where is this junior supposed to wait for senior in the Culmination Starland?”
“Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City’s Baichi Artefact Crafting Store.” Ning Cheng gave a casual reply. Once he returned to the Culmination Starland, it was necessary to go to the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store to look for Jian Jiao.
“Ning… Senior, I’ll go with them. Yue Wanxue had joined the team on my invitation. Since she got involved in this mess, I have to take responsibility for it.” Warren quickly spoke up. He did not dare to continue to address Ning Cheng as Brother Ning after witnessing Ning Cheng’s horrifying cultivation.
Ning Cheng did not feel any objection to it and turned to Ou Zhentian, “Bring Warren to Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City. I will come there in a year.”
“Yes.” How could Ou Zhentian dare to say even half a word of contradiction?
Ning Cheng estimated that Ou Clan would not get into a feud with him over Warren and Yue Wanxue. After obtaining the oath from Ou Zhentian, he spoke a few words to Warren and left.
If he could refine the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow, then it wouldn’t take more than a year. If he can’t refine it, then it would be useless even if he spent a few more years. Therefore, Ning Cheng decided to make a one-year agreement.
……
After Ning Cheng advanced to the Life and Death Realm, both his cultivation and physical body reached a very high level of strength. Therefore, although the periphery of Ancient Desolace Abandoned Land still contained many dangers everywhere, these dangers could no longer threaten Ning Cheng.
In just half a day, Ning Cheng reached the periphery of the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow once again.
Unlike the previous time when he had swept out with his spiritual consciousness from afar, this time, Ning Cheng stood at the outer edge of the broken star. This broken star had a large black arrow embedded in it at an oblique angle that gave off an oppressive death aura that suppressed everything around it. Even Ning Cheng’s Celestial River Domain gave out creaking-like noises under this suppression.
Back then, just an unintentional sweep with his spiritual consciousness had resulted in Ning Cheng spitting out a mouthful of blood. But today, even when Ning Cheng stood right in front of this giant arrow, it could not affect him at all.
Glancing at the top of the huge arrow, Ning Cheng only felt strands of powerful killing intent whistling through the sky above it. If it were a cultivator with a weak mind, these strands of killing intent would have forced them onto the ground by now.
Ning Cheng took in a deep breath and slowly approached the giant arrow. Even Eternal Cultivators cannot refine this object, but he wanted to try it. However, he also knew that he couldn’t act out of recklessness.
When Ning Cheng came about a hundred miles away from this huge black arrow, the black arrow suddenly started vibrating and gave out high-frequency shooting-like sounds. Strands of invisible killing intent emerged from the black arrow before quickly forming into what seemed like a solid arrow shadow before it shot out towards him. Ning Cheng’s Celestial River Domain could not stop it all, allowing this killing intent arrow to rush into Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness.
Ning Cheng’s expressions quickly changed, and he finally understood why no one had managed to refine this black arrow yet. Right now, he stood about a hundred miles from the black arrow, yet the killing intent arrow still managed to bypass everything and enter his Sea of Consciousness. If he came any closer, the killing intent shooting out from it would only increase in power. At that point, it would be a miracle if one could remain alive.
But Ning Cheng did not expect that the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, which always needed his activation to resist attacks, would also tremble and give out high-frequency sounds just like the black arrow. The moment the black array shot into Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness, his Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort also lit up.
A long line of lightning arcs suddenly burst out of the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort and collided with the black arrow formed from killing intent. Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness, in just an instant, transformed into a battlefield. Yet, Ning Cheng had not even taken any conscious action.
Ning Cheng took in a deep breath. He understood the restlessness exhibited by the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort. Although Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort’s weapon spirit had gone missing, this black arrow had forced the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort into the void. Moreover, this black arrow was also the main reason for its weapon spirit going missing. Meeting again at this moment was akin to meeting each other’s mortal enemy. If the weapon spirit still existed, Ning Cheng feared that this hatred would have been a lot more intense.

Although this black arrow contained immense power, it’s been s
tuck here for many years, indicating that it was most likely an ownerless item. Therefore, even though its murderous aura invaded Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness, it quickly lost its intimidating nature after Ning Cheng’s Everlasting Blue Thunder City automatically blocked its rampage.
When Ning Cheng took a step forward again, this black arrow seemed to have sensed Ning Cheng’s intent to approach it. It started to vibrate even more and gave out even more ‘weng’ sounds. As increasingly powerful killing intent poured out from this black arrow, it continuously formed into more and more arrows. However, this time, the arrows did not target Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness but surrounded Ning Cheng.
Even if Ning Cheng advanced to the Life and Death Realm, his Celestial River Domain couldn’t completely block the residual arrow intent’s murderous aura.
“Puff-Puff-Puff-Puff……” The arrow intent’s murderous aura quickly slammed on to Ning Cheng after sealing off all the escape routes.
However, despite the power contained within the murderous aura, it could only tear through Ning Cheng’s robes and not hurt him at all. This also highlighted the strength of Ning Cheng’s Starry Sky Body.
Ning Cheng gave out a dark sign in his heart. If he still had a Celestial River body, then in the face of this arrow intent’s murderous aura, he would have had to bring out weapons and fight with his life on the line to defend against these arrows. If he had to bring out weapons to guard against it, it would be better to give up on the thought of refining this black arrow.
No wonder this black arrow remained here for so long and no one refined it yet.
Not to mention the powerful killing intent that could ignore everything else and invade one’s Sea of Consciousness, even the materialised arrow intent could rip apart one’s domain. Just these two factors made it extremely difficult to defend against it.
Fortunately, he had the Everlasting Blue Thunder City in his Sea of Consciousness supported with a Starry Sky body. Therefore, even if others found these obstacles insurmountable, it did not pose too much danger to him.
As Ning Cheng kept approaching it step-by-step, the black arrow continued to vibrate more and more fiercely. It seemed to have turned even angrier and gave out even more powerful ‘weng’ sounds. The arrow intent exuding from it brought up even more powerful killing power with it.
However, Ning Cheng still kept moving towards it, ignoring the black arrow’s killing intent. With a Starry Sky body, this arrow’s killing intent couldn’t do anything to him.
When Ning Cheng finally came to a stop in front of the black arrow, he suddenly raised his hand and placed it on its shaft, to allow his spiritual consciousness to pour into it.
However, the moment Ning Cheng touched the shaft of the black arrow, a traceless strand of killing intent suddenly rushed into Ning Cheng’s Starry Sky Sea of Consciousness that even managed to avoid the blockade formed by the Everlasting Blue Thunder City.
A tearing pain suddenly erupted, shocking Ning Cheng to the core. He immediately understood that if this strand of killing intent pierced through his Sea of Consciousness, it might not kill him, but it would definitely cripple him. Even if he had the Sifting Ferry Grass, Ning Cheng would not be able to use it.
Without any hesitation or consideration, Ning Cheng’s thoughts immediately connected to the Imperial Jade Seal filled with the Power of Hope.
Only the Imperial Jade Seal within his Sea of Consciousness could help him right now, apart from the Everlasting Blue Thunder City. Although his sea also contained the Celestial River Flame, its grade was still too low for any use against the current enemy.
With Ning Cheng’s thought, the Imperial Jade Seal immediately erupted with golden light before turning into a giant seal and smashing down on the shadowless killing intent in his Sea of Consciousness.
“Boom!” A horrific explosion raged in Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness, which almost sent Ning Cheng into a shock. His Sea of Consciousness trembled as if an earthquake passed through it.
The shadowless killing intent fired by the black arrow gave out a faint but sharp tweet but under pressure from the Imperial Jade Seal, dissolved into nothingness.
Ning Cheng breathed out a sigh of relief, and started pouring more of his spiritual consciousness into the black arrow and began refining.
After Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness invaded the black arrow, it felt as if the black arrow had exhausted its power and could no longer attack Ning Cheng. Instead, it could only form one blockade after another in the form of restrictions to protect itself.
Ning Cheng had already determined to refine this black arrow. Even if this black arrow created more obstacles, his spiritual consciousness, together with his celestial essence, tore through one obstacle after another, just like a spear passing through layers of shields without showing any indication of stopping.
Time continued to pass since the moment his consciousness invaded it, but it caused the killing intent around the black arrow to start shrinking steadily. As the arrow’s killing intent continued to shrink in on itself, the black arrow’s defences grew even stronger. Yet, even then, it could not stop or slow down Ning Cheng’s refining speed.
Not knowing how much time had passed, the black arrow suddenly gave out a ‘katcha’ sound that reverberated in Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness, following which the black arrow’s resistance weakened almost immediately.
Ning Cheng finally felt somewhat happy. He understood that he had managed to refine the first layer of restrictions covering the black arrow.
Everything looked fierce in the beginning, but after refining the first layer of restriction, Ning Cheng quickly tore through the latter segments of the restriction layer like cutting through bamboo. ‘Kaka’ sounds continuously resounded as the black arrow slowly started to fall under Ning Cheng’s control.
This was already the 37th day since Ning Cheng sat down in this place and started refining the black arrow. As Ning Cheng focussed on refining the black arrow, he completely forgot about all the interference around him.
Because Ning Cheng had started refining the black arrow, the killing intent surrounding the arrow continually converged on itself causing feelings of alarm, shock and surprise to run through the hearts of the cultivators going through that area.
After the first cultivator discovered someone refining the black arrow, and that the killing intent around it had started to weaken, more and more cultivators decided to make their way to this place. At this time, many cultivators had already surrounded the periphery of the shattered star where the black arrow lay embedded. These cultivators could not help but look at Ning Cheng in awe as he refined the black arrow in the distance.
“Is he a supreme master? How can one refine the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow?”
“It should be a Dao Confirming Powerhouse. It has to be one. Even Eternal Starry Sky Emperors cannot do such a thing.”
“I wish I could be that senior’s disciple….”
“Stop dreaming. Experts at that level would never take in disciples from this place.”
……
Previously, they could not even get close to this shattered star; however, now that someone had started refining the black arrow, everyone could now finally see the black arrow up close.
Initially, of the cultivators watching Ning Cheng refine the black arrow, most of them were rogue cultivators who flitted around the Ancient Desolace Abandoned Land. However, the news quickly spread and more cultivators started pouring in from afar. Even some Eternal Starry Sky Emperors received the report and promptly rushed towards the Ancient Desolace Abandoned Land.
Who did not want to obtain a treasure like the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow? Now that someone had started to refine it, who would willingly not care about it?
However, they were not destined to see the scene of Ning Cheng refining the black arrow, and even less able to participate in the competition for the black arrow. After refining the black arrow for around a month, Ning Cheng had already tak
en control of the black arrow. He then suddenly stood up and raised his hand to pull it out. The large black arrow gave out a whistling sound before finally coming out of the shattered star.
“Boom…..” With the black arrow pulled out of the shattered star, the star then turned into dust dissipating into the endless void of the Ancient Desolace Abandoned Land.
After the black arrow fell into Ning Cheng’s hand, it quickly became smaller, and even its colour started to fade. In just a few moments, the black arrow had shrunk down to the length of a few feet.
Ning Cheng put the black arrow into his storage ring with a happy feeling and at the same time brought out the Starry Sky Wheel. In the next moment, the Starry Sky Wheel seemed to have split open the void around it and disappeared from the Ancient Desolace Abandoned Land. Even one’s spiritual consciousness could not find the slightest trace of it, let alone catch up to it.
Just when Ning Cheng left, some of the nearest Eternal-level powerhouses finally arrived. However, they reached a step too late and could not even see the black arrow.
“Someone actually refined and carried away the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow?” An Eternal-level powerhouse stared at the spot where the remnant star had dissipated into dust and spoke with a voice fused with killing intent.
Who did not want to obtain a treasure like the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow? Now that someone unknown had refined it and taken it away, how could he tolerate such a thing?
“Brother Peng, although we all want the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow, I know a bit more than you. The person who took away the arrow is only at the Heaven Seated Realm, hehe….” A newly arrived Eternal Cultivator spoke up after hearing those words.
When the other Eternal cultivator heard those words, he gave out a sigh and even the killing intent in his eyes gradually dissipated. He understood what those words implied. If that person could refine the arrow with a Heaven Seated Cultivation and even managed to take away the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow, it meant that he could not compare to that person. If one day he really started a fight with the expert who took the Foreign Heaven’s Arrow, he might actually die.
