The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  As for worrying about Ning Cheng’s array formations trapping them, they all considered it a joke. Even if Ning Cheng’s array formations grew more powerful, it couldn’t hold more than a dozen Eternal-level cultivators for a long time.

  The poison mist from before had disappeared, so Ning Cheng even did not linger around the periphery. He quickly rushed towards the real entrance of the Ancient Shadow Temple.

  ……

  By the time Ning Cheng reached the edge of the Ancient Shadow Temple, the origin point of that poison mist, he finally saw all of the Eternal-level experts once again. However, no one rushed inside. Apparently, everyone could sense that this mist contained some terrifying properties.

  This place looked no different from the last time he came in, still covered in poison mist, and one’s spiritual consciousness could only extend to a little more than ten feet in range.

  “Spiritual Consciousness cannot spread out in this place, and this mist also seems to carry a trace of killing aura, which is quite strange.” Fu Yingkui stood behind Gua Sangan and spoke up with a worried tone.

  Yi Jiufeng sneered, “If your Spiritual Consciousness cannot spread out, that doesn’t mean others’ can’t spread out.”

  Ning Cheng glanced at Yi Jiufeng in doubt. Yi Jiufeng seemed to have a close relationship with Chuan Xinlou. So it didn’t make much sense for her to mock Chuan Xinlou’s underling Fu Yingkui.

  “Sect Master Ning, you’ve been here once. Do you have any good ideas?” After Yi Jiufeng finished satirizing Fu Yingkui, she then asked Ning Cheng with a smile.

  Ning Cheng quickly waved his hand and said, “My cultivation is still low, so it’s already a blessing that I can stand in this place. How could I come up with a method? I’ll let the several Starry Sky Heavenly Emperor’s ponder over it. But fret not; I’ll be cheering for you with all my heart from the back.”

  Qiao Jierui snorted, “It’s useless to shout and cheer. Since we came here together, we need to work together. If you don’t have the skills, then walk away from this place. If you want a share of things inside Ancient Shadow Temple, better work together to get inside or stay outside if you don’t think you’re eligible.”

  With that, Qiao Jierui rushed in headfirst.

  Ning Cheng thought that Zhangkang Tianji of the Demon Domain would be the first to rush in; he didn’t expect Qiao Jierui to take the lead here.

  After Qiao Jierui rushed in, the rest of the Eternal cultivators naturally would not prefer to show weakness. Since they came here, no one wanted to give up obtaining treasures.

  After entering the poison mist, one could easily distinguish the cultivations of each person passing through the fog. Among the people rushing through, except for the four grand starry sky’s Starry Sky Emperors, everyone else had to use different weapons to protect himself or herself.

  Chuan Xinlou, Qiao Jierui, Zhangkang Tianji, and Yi Jiufeng didn’t bring out any defensive weapons. But when the mist touched them, it did not affect them at all.

  As for those with worse cultivation, especially Guo Jingtian who ‘earned’ a lesson from Ning Cheng, he not only brought out a weapon but also donned a set of defensive armour over his body.

  Ning Cheng followed them closely. He was already a body-forging powerhouse with a Starry Sky Body, which meant that he naturally didn’t need to bring out any weapons. However, Ning Cheng still brought out a defensive shield for the act. He could also tell that Chuan Xinlou and Zhangkang Tianji were both body-forging experts, which meant that they also didn’t need to fear this poison mist. As for Yi Jiufeng and Qiao Jierui, they should have cultivated in a particularly powerful defensive cultivation method.

  Seeing Ning Cheng bring out a defensive shield, Gua Sangan felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

  After the crowd entered the mist, all of them eventually reached the gate with the words ‘Ancient Shadow Temple’. Bursts of whining-like sounds came from behind the gate, which sounded weird. But in this place, the early stage of the Eternal Realm was the worst cultivation level. As such, no one felt any fear about the whining-like noises coming from behind the gate.

  “Sure enough, this is the real Ancient Shadow Temple.” Qiao Jierui’s eyes glowed with heat. “Let’s attack this gate together. With more than a dozen Eternals attacking together, this gate shouldn’t last for long.”

  “I agree. We’ll attack it directly. I will start first.” Zhangkang Tianji immediately stepped up. A moment later, the others also quickly agreed on attacking together.

  But then Ning Cheng suddenly spoke up, “I also agree with all the Dao Friends here attacking together. However, before we commence with the attacks, I hope that the Dao Friends here would allow me to place a Shielding Array Formation in this place. No one knows what’s inside this Ancient Shadow Temple. In case something terrible comes out, everyone can just pat his or her asses and leave. It’s my Jiangzhou Star outside, and I‘m responsible for the countless lives of my Jiangzhou Star.”

  “Humph, just a group of ants. If they die, then they die, don’t need to waste so many words on them.” Qiao Jierui gave a cold snort. He felt too lazy to pay any attention to Ning Cheng, especially since it had nothing to do with his interests. Right now, it was paramount for them to enter the Ancient Shadow Temple. So when Ning Cheng spoke about wasting time to lay out an array formation for some ants, it naturally made him unhappy.

  Ning Cheng’s tone suddenly turned cold, “Qiao Jierui, you might have the right to say that, but if anything on the inside caused the destruction of my Jiangzhou Star, I would make sure to go to the Grand Devil Domain Starry Sky and refine every single planet one after another, and use them as ordinary stones for my back garden.”

  “You dare…..” Qiao Jierui felt anger rising within him. He didn’t pay much attention to Ning Cheng before because Ning Cheng didn’t provoke him, Qiao Jierui, head-on.

  Did he think that he was the same as that underling Guo Jingtian? This was simply courting death.

  Ning Cheng didn’t fear Qiao Jierui’s power at all and spoke with an even colder voice, “So all life on my Jiangzhou Star are ants, and all life in your Devil Domain is noble, is that right? Qiao Jierui, do you really think that I wouldn’t dare.”

  Qiao Jierui suddenly shuddered when he sensed that his domain couldn’t even dent, let alone tear apart, Ning Cheng’s domain. He never expected that apart from the three Heavenly Emperors, other people could compete with him when it came to domains. If such a person couldn’t be killed swiftly and in one go, it would truly bring forth a disaster.

  Yi Jiufeng smiled and came forward before saying, “Sect Master Ning doesn’t need much time to arrange an array formation. We can at least wait till he finishes.”

  Qiao Jierui didn’t speak anymore. After his domain clashed with Ning Cheng, he felt unwilling to butt heads with Ning Cheng right now. No one here thought that Qiao Jierui acquiesced to Yi Jiufeng’s words; rather, everyone understood that Qiao Jierui sensed something in Ning Cheng that made him stop. Seeing this, Chuan Xinlou showed a slight frown.

  Did Ning Cheng really have the power to let Qiao Jierui feel fear?

  In any case, Yi Jiufeng said at least one thing correct. Ning Cheng managed to arrange the array formation quickly. In only half an hour, Ning Cheng placed a Shielding Array Formation outside the Ancient Shadow Temple’s gate. Although this array formation would also block cultivators from coming out, no one particularly cared about it. Everyone here was an Eternal Realm powerhouse, so why would fear a Rank 8 Sealing Array Formation arranged by Ning Cheng?

  “Now that the array formation is laid out let’s start the attack.” Zhangkang Tianji finished. Without waiting for others to start, he brought out an iron rod. As he lifted it over his head, the iron rod instantly turned into a huge cylinder.

  The cylinder then violently slammed down on the Ancient Shadow Temple’s gate, causing a dull rumble to erupt. Although it was just a single strike, everyone could feel the ground beneath his or her feet vibrating.<

  With Zhangkang Tianji taking the lead, the rest did not stay idle and brought out their weapons to attack.

  All the Eternal-level experts attacked the gate of the Ancient Shadow Temple at the same time. Just as Qiao Jierui guessed, the entrance of the Ancient Shadow Temple started to tremble after a few rounds, as if it would blow open the next moment.

  “Katcha…..” Another round of attacks struck the gate, and the Ancient Shadow Temple’s gate finally opened a crack. The moment this small crack opened, a wave of gloomy winds started spreading outwards.

  The gate to the Ancient Shadow Temple was just a tightly shut small gate, but the dozen Eternal-level experts attacking it at once created a mighty force that managed to crack it open. Ning Cheng, however, didn’t even come forward at all, let alone attack.

  But when the gate cracked open, spewing this barely discernible wave of gloomy winds, Ning Cheng suddenly felt something wrong and quickly retreated.

  Cultivating to the Eternal Realm, all the cultivators here had a very highly polished sixth sense for danger. Therefore, not only Ning Cheng but the rest of the people here also sensed danger from this gloomy wind.

  Just when everyone stopped attacking and were about to retreat, the Ancient Shadow Temple’s gate suddenly burst open.

  A violent, almost berserk, wave of gloomy winds rushed out, which forced the four premier Heavenly Emperors to bring out weapons and defend against it. From this, Ning Cheng noticed that Chuan Xinlou’s defensive weapon was a pagoda, while Qiao Jierui’s defensive weapon was a devilish gong.

  No one expected that after this wave of violent yet gloomy wind would suddenly change its flow after rushing out, instead of clashing directly with everyone’s weapons. After the initial explosion, the outward force had suddenly reversed into a powerful suction force.

  Under such an unexpected and powerful reversal, ordinary cultivators would have turned into slag even before they could get the chance to react. However, among the dozen Eternal-level cultivators here, only Guo Jingtian, who Ning Cheng had severely injured previously, could not resist this suction force. The sudden reversal caught him off guard and sucked him through the Ancient Shadow Temple’s gate. He kept screaming before disappearing without a trace.

  Fu Yingkui was at the middle level of the Eternal Realm, and could clearly see Guo Jingtian’s expressions as he disappeared. Seeing that, his courage and wits instantly shattered, and he immediately used every bit of ability to retreat.

  Maybe because he put every bit of effort into retreating, he unknowingly ended up running towards Ning Cheng. Since Ning Cheng purposefully kept an eye out for opportunities to take care of this unpleasant fellow, he lifted his feet without hesitation and immediately kicked him away the moment he came near him.

  Fu Yingkui clearly felt Ning Cheng’s foot aimed at him, but couldn’t avoid it at all. His domain had shattered instantly like a thin sheet of ice in front of Ning Cheng’s kick.

  “Bang!” Ning Cheng kick connected with Fu Yingkui’s back. Combined with the powerful suction force, Fu Yingkui flew towards the Ancient Shadow Temple’s open gate like a kite with a broken string flying into a storm.

  Fu Yingkui felt horrified. Only now did he seemed to have understood Ning Cheng’s sinister plan. In just a single moment, Ning Cheng shattered his domain, making it impossible to put up any sort of resistance against this gloomy wind.

  Just as Fu Yingkui was about to enter the Ancient Shadow Temple’s door, Chuan Xinlou’s pagoda suddenly slammed down, acting as a wall to stop Fu Yingkui.

  Cold sweat drenched Fu Yingkui’s back. But feeling the control over his celestial essence and spiritual consciousness returning, he sighed and bowed to Chuan Xinlou, “Many thanks for Heavenly Emperor’s help.”

  Chuan Xinlou nodded to Fu Yingkui before turning his gaze towards Ning Cheng, “Sect Master Ning, what’s the meaning of this? Everyone here agreed to join forces to enter the Ancient Shadow temple. Or do you like to kick people in their backs?”

  Most people here had already noticed Ning Cheng’s kick. Therefore, when Chuan Xinlou rescued Fu Yingkui and questioned Ning Cheng, everyone immediately shifted their focus to Ning Cheng and wondered how Ning Cheng would explain it.

  Ning Cheng simply spoke up with a calm voice, “Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say anything you like. What about kicking people in the back? At that time, who didn’t want to protect themselves? Was I supposed to remain unprotected? Moreover, Fu Yingkui ran straight into me, how could I know that he didn’t purposefully run towards me with nefarious intentions? Is it wrong for me to defend myself? If I wanted to deal with this Fu Yingkui, hehe, I would only need to use one move. Why would I need to kick him openly and in front of everyone?”

  “Could it be that Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor thinks that I should have just stood still, even if someone wants to plot against me? Should I have just let him strike me? Chuan Xinlou, did you think that this emperor owes you something? Or did you forget that this emperor let you search for treasures in my Jiangzhou Star’s Ancient Shadow Temple? Or did you think that you could go around trying to embarrass this emperor everywhere just because you’re powerful? Despite having a Good Fortune Treasure, did I ask you for it? Or did you think you were channelling the energy of a pimp[1]? If you don’t want to stay here then just get the fuck out of this place for this emperor. This emperor doesn’t welcome such a shameless bastard.”

  If one considered the first half of Ning Cheng’s words as ‘polite’, then the second half was simply a direct reprimand.

  Chuan Xinlou’s face turned livid with rage, while murderous aura overflowed from his body. At the same time, his pagoda also started giving out hissing-like sounds.

  Everyone could tell that Chuan Xinlou and Ning Cheng were about to duke it out; as such, no one wanted to come forward and stop them. Striking Order Heavenly Emperor wanted to help as he had allied himself with Ning Cheng, but he could not openly help Ning Cheng deal with his own boss. Qiao Jierui, however, looked forward to Chuan Xinlou and Ning Cheng exhausting each other to death in this fight. As for, Yi Jiufeng, she pretended not to know the reason for this fight and didn’t even speak about it.

  “Looking for death, daring to be rude to this Heavenly Emperor.” The ordinary-looking middle-stage Eternal-level expert standing next to Chuan Xinlou took a step forward and snapped.

  After Guo Jingtian’s ‘death’, Gua Sangan’s sullen expression never recovered. Now that he ‘saw’ Ning Cheng’s death, he actively took the initiative to fight alongside Chuan Xinlou. He also took a step forward and spoke with a sneer, “Ning, I’ve long been tired of seeing you, but you picked the wrong Heavenly Emperor…..”

  In just a blink of an eye, it became three to one.

  Zhangkang Tianji showed a smile and immediately interrupted, “Looks like you really don’t care about your face. Fighting one against three, Brother Levelled Heart, I have to admire you for it.”

  Chuan Xinlou’s expressions turned ugly at this comment. Moreover, although he had saved Fu Yingkui’s life, Ning Cheng had already scared this bastard to the point that he couldn’t even stand up to defend himself despite the overwhelming advantage. He truly had turned into a coward.

  It indeed was the truth; Ning Cheng’s way of dealing with things had truly frightened Fu Yingkui. Only he and Guo Jingtian had clashed openly with Ning Cheng. But Guo Jingtian died even before entering the Ancient Shadow Temple, while Ning Cheng almost successfully managed to kill him a moment ago. If not for Chuan Xinlou’s help, he would have definitely perished before stepping into the Ancient Shadow Temple.

  Besides, it was not as if he was the one with the lowest cultivation in this p
lace. Tang Yitang was only at the early stage of the Eternal Realm. Even Jinming Qianbo had lower cultivation compared to him.

  So why was he the one with a target on the back?

  He had already started doubting his stance with Ning Cheng.

  Should he really go against Ning Cheng?

  As these thoughts went through his head, he didn’t even dare to look at Ning Cheng anymore, let alone find trouble with him.

  Yi Jiufeng could tell that Chuan Xinlou didn’t want to kill Ning Cheng in this place and simply spoke up as if it was an everyday occurrence, “Everyone, let’s not quarrel with each other like kids. That gloomy wind from the inside of Ancient Shadow Temple has already disappeared. We can go in and have a look now.”

  Sure enough, everyone found that the gloomy wind that had emerged from the Ancient Shadow Temple had already disappeared. Instead, a dark channel appeared in front of them. Moreover, no one could find any trace of Guo Jingtian in or around this dark channel.

  Seeing that no one took the initiative to go in, Zhangkang Tianji gave a snort, “Since you all don’t have the balls to go in, I’ll be going in first.”

  Saying that Zhangkang Tianji actually took the initiative to enter the Ancient Shadow Temple. But just as Zhangkang Tianji stepped onto the dark channel, it created an empty echo that made people feel like hairs were slowly pricking into their hearts.

  With Zhangkang Tianji taking the lead, the rest of them naturally felt embarrassed to stay outside, and quickly stepped onto the dark channel. Zhangkang Tianji’s footsteps had only created an empty echo that seemed to infiltrate into one’s heart, but this feeling grew several-fold the moment others stepped onto the dark channel at the same time. It felt as if their hearts would collapse at any time.
