The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  The only reason he managed to reach the middle-level of Life and Death Realm this quickly was because of a recent heaven-sent opportunity. He had obtained a part of a strange treasure belonging to the Guardian Temple, one of the three temples of Striking Order Starry Sky. It was this that allowed him to advance to the middle-level of Life and Death Realm.

  But what did Ning Cheng rely on? How did he cultivate so fast?

  Unfortunately, he didn’t have the real None-to-depend-on wine. Otherwise, he could have opened the deeper parts of the Guardian Temple and obtained better things. Opening the inner hall of the Guardian Temple required a spirit technique, the None-to-depend-on Spirit Technique. He had memorised the detailed introduction to the None-to-depend-on Spirit Technique inscribed on the entrance to the inner hall. However, without the None-to-depend-on Wine, he still couldn’t understand even the surface of this spirit technique.

  However, Duan Gantai believed that with his intelligence and aptitude, if he had a pot of None-to-depend-on Wine, he could understand the None-to-depend-on Spirit Technique.

  “Haha. Brother Ning, there seems to be something wrong with my Connecting Spirit Silk. Fortunately, it rectified itself.” Duan Gantai smiled and greeted Ning Cheng with the same warm enthusiasm.

  Ning Cheng could feel the celestial essence fluctuations from Duan Gantai’s body. So, he just laughed, “Brother Duan sure enjoys a lot of luck, and yet, here I am, only encountering bad luck. I entered the Ancient Shadow Temple but almost lost my life. By the way, since Brother Duan has shown up in Striking Order Starry Sky recently, did you find the Guardian Temple?”

  Duan Gantai felt even more shocked. However, he quickly laughed it off. “How could that be possible. The Guardian Temple is one of the three great temples of Striking Order Starry Sky, ranked even above the Temple of Time. Besides, even if I did find it, I can’t enter it by myself. Brother Ning, we are old friends and have not seen each other for a long time. Why not find a nice quiet place to have a drink first?”

  Ning Cheng didn’t doubt Duan Gantai’s words. He anyway wanted to ask Duan Gantai about the Boundary Breaking Talisman. But he didn’t expect Duan Gantai would propose to have a drink first.

  He was just about to agree, but when the words appeared at the tip of his tongue, Ning Cheng’s heart suddenly jolted. Duan Gantai reached here in quite a hurry. So, it was reasonable to say that the first thing he would put forward was to enter the Temple of Time together.

  Why would he suddenly propose to sit down and have a drink? Besides, how did Duan Gantai come here so quickly?

  Swallowing what he was about to say, Ning Cheng sighed and said. “Oh, Brother Duan, I wish I had the time to have a drink with you and then head to the Temple of Time. Unfortunately, ….”

  Duan Gantai suddenly felt a shadow creep up within his heart. He had asked Ning Cheng for a drink to naturally draw out the None-to-depend-on Wine. He already had prepared an excuse to ask Ning Cheng to give him some wine. And that excuse was that he liked the None-to-depend-on Wine a little too much.

  He had already obtained information that Ning Cheng had taken out the None-to-depend-on Wine during a feast with Chuan Xinlou and the others. From this, he guessed that Ning Cheng most likely had killed Mutual Dependence Chamber of Commerce’s Zhu Zhengfeng and taken away his things. If he wanted None-to-depend-on Wine, he could only find it on Ning Cheng.

  Making the connection that Ning Cheng could kill Zhu Zhengfeng, Duan Gantai initially felt both shock and admiration in his heart towards Ning Cheng. If Zhu Zhengfeng could die this easily, he would have already murdered Zhu Zhengfeng a long time ago. Unexpectedly, before he could even attempt it, Ning Cheng had already finished it.

  “What a pity? Is Brother Ning facing any difficulty? If Brother Ning doesn’t mind, you can talk to this brother of yours. If this brother of yours can help, he will never refuse.” Duan Gantai patted his chest and said impatiently.

  Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Okay then, can I ask how Brother Duan reached here this quickly?”

  Duan Gantai chuckled and made a very embarrassed and simple gesture. “I know that I don’t have a quick speed. And I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to meet with Brother Ning in time. So, I simply set up a temporary teleportation array outside Jiangzhou Star where Brother Ning lives. Fortunately, my attainments in array formations improved quite a bit….”

  Hearing this, Ning Cheng suddenly realised that with Duan Gantai’s shrewdness and cunning, he should have thought about it a long time ago.

  Duan Gantai continued with an honest voice, “But even so, I don’t think my array formations can match up to Brother Ning. Since Brother Ning can already arrange a Star Protecting Grand Array, I feel somewhat embarrassed about myself.”

  Even he couldn’t have done it in one go. From this, he understood that Duan Gantai had most likely set up multiple Transmission Arrays to quickly reach this place. Moreover, from his words, Ning Cheng also realised that Duan Gantai wasn’t sure if he had personally arranged this Star Protecting Grand Array. Thinking of this, Ning Cheng gave a simple reply. “Truth be told, I had help in arranging this Star Protecting Grand Array. I couldn’t have arranged it by myself. Brother Duan thinks too highly of me.”

  Duan Gantai couldn’t tell if Ning Cheng spoke correctly or not. But he still spoke with the same positivity, “Brother Ning, in any case, you managed to take over a celestial river and built a sect in such a short amount of time. Something that I wanted to do too. Compared to Brother Ning, it feels like I am just fooling around.”

  Ning Cheng shrugged and didn’t want to continue such hypocrisy with Duan Gantai. Instead, he said, “I want to visit a place, but I lack a Braking Boundary Talisman. I heard that Brother Duan has a Breaking Boundary Talisman. I don’t know if Brother Duan can give me that Breaking Boundary Talisman….”

  Duan Gantai, on hearing that Ning Cheng wanted a Breaking Boundary Talisman, immediately felt his heart tightening. It wasn’t easy for him to get this Breaking Boundary Talisman, but now that Ning Cheng asked for it,

  should he give it to him or not?

  If Duan Gantai didn’t take it out, Ning Cheng might also not give him any None-to-depend-on Wine, and he should stop asking Ning Cheng for anything.

  “I really do have a Breaking Boundary Talisman. But I obtained it from Yu Clan’s Corner. It’s just that I promised it to a friend already. He said that he would help me get a dozen pots of None-to-depend-on Wine for it. If not for that, I would have already given the talisman to Brother Ning.” Duan Gantai hesitated for a while before speaking up with some embarrassment.

  Truth be told, for this Breaking Boundary Talisman, Ning Cheng would have even given up a portion of the shares from the Temple of Time. He had even contemplated giving one of the Time Keys to Duan Gantai. Yet unexpectedly, Duan Gantai didn’t even speak about the Temple of Time and spoke about None-to-depend-on Wine. For Ning Cheng, None-to-depend-on Wine was just a thing to drink. Even at its best, it could only help people get a slightly more in-depth understanding of the None-to-depend-on Spirit Technique.

  But Duan Gantai shouldn’t know about the None-to-depend-on Spirit Technique. So, for what purpose did he want jars of None-to-depend-on Wine? Moreover, a dozen jars? Besides, how could a dozen jars of None-to-depend-on Wine be as valuable as a Breaking Boundary Talisman? At least not unless he took out the real top-quality None-to-depend-on Wine obtained from the secret Mo Clan’s wine cellar.

  As these thoughts flashed through Ning Cheng’s mind, he smiled and spoke, “That’s a real pity. I only have three jugs of None-to-depend-on Wine; otherwise, I would have given it to Brother Duan for free.”

  Duan Gantai internally cursed at Ning Cheng for such shamelessness.

  Three jars of None-to-depend-on Wine for a Breaking Boundary Talisman, wasn’t this just too much?

  But then when he thought of the things within the Guardian Temple, he immediately suppressed the discomfort. Not to mention three pots
of None-to-depend-on Wine, he only needed a single jar of None-to-depend-on Wine. If he comprehended the None-to-depend-on Spirit Technique and entered the inner hall of Guarding Temple, he wouldn’t mind pinching his nose and finish the exchange.

  “Three pots of None-to-depend-on is much better than nothing. Many thanks, Brother Ning, for giving it to me for free.” Duan Gantai repeatedly thanked him.

  Ning Cheng also replied in kind, “Okay, okay, it’s only a small matter.”

  Duan Gantai, on seeing Ning Cheng not taking out the None-to-depend-on Wine, understood that Ning Cheng had a face no thinner than his own. He could not force Ning Cheng with just words. Therefore, he begrudgingly took out a jade box and opened it in front of Ning Cheng. “Ning Cheng, as long as you can give those three pots of None-to-depend-on Wine, I wouldn’t care about this friend anymore. It’s his own fault that Brother Ning and I met earlier. Brother Ning, please accept this Breaking Boundary Talisman.”

  Although he said those words, in fact, he did not hand over the box to Ning Cheng. Just like Ning Cheng didn’t trust him, he didn’t believe Ning Cheng either.

  Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness scanned the jade box, making sure that it was the real Breaking Boundary talisman. Confirming that it indeed was the real one, he simply took out three pots of None-to-depend-on Wine and left it suspended in front of him. What he took out was the None-to-depend-on Wine from Zhu Zhengfeng’s ring. As for the real top-quality None-to-depend-on Wine, he didn’t even think about giving it to Duan Gantai.

  With both quickly receiving what they wanted, they both felt quite happy. Moreover, Duan Gantai felt that Ning Cheng’s None-to-depend-on Wine was of a higher quality than the real None-to-depend-on Wine he had once drunk before. This made him feel somewhat strange.

  “Brother Ning, I had come here looking for you to head to the Temple of Time. Unfortunately, I must give this None-to-depend-on Wine to someone else. I can only meet Brother Ning again after I finish this task.” Duan Gantai put away the three pots of None-to-depend-on Wine and spoke with some sadness.

  Ning Cheng felt even more suspicious in his heart.

  What the hell did Duan Gantai want to do with those pots of wine? What was more important than entering the Temple of Time?

  Despite the doubts in his mind, Ning Cheng did not ask. Besides, even if he asked, he wouldn’t get a proper answer anyway.

  Duan Gantai and Ning Cheng exchanged a few more ‘polite’ words before Duan Gantai quickly flew away on a flight-type weapon. In just an incense stick’s worth of time, Ning Cheng could no longer sense Duan Gantai’s position through the Connecting Spirit Silk. Sensing that, Ning Cheng understood that this fellow had once again sealed the connection of Connecting Spirit Silk, which meant that Duan Gantai was up to something.

  Ning Cheng felt slightly helpless and could only seal his Connecting Spirit Silk. Duan Gantai, that cunning bastard, would not allow someone to follow him.

  Besides, now that he obtained the Breaking Boundary Talisman, and confirming that Duan Gantai couldn’t enter the Temple of Time, should he head to Graceful Star Mainland? But just as he thought about Graceful Star Mainland’s law suppression, Ning Cheng immediately felt a headache welling up inside of him.

  Chapter 0762 – Returning To Graceful Star Mainland

  Ning Cheng realised that this was the most appropriate time to go to Graceful Star Mainland. At this time, no one would care about him. Moreover, no one knew about the life and death of Chuan Xinlou and the others. Devil Domain and Demon Domain can’t take care of themselves right now either. While Spirit Heaven Grand Starry Sky also has its own problems. As for Culmination Grand Starry Sky, only Chen Xingwen could stir something. However, even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t come to offend his Mysterious Yellow Sect at this time.

  Therefore, there shouldn’t be any problems cropping up for the time being even if he left Jiangzhou Star. If he chose to leave Jiangzhou Star in the future, and in case Chuan Xinlou and the others escaped shortly after, he really wouldn’t feel right about it. In any case, his sister Ning Ruolan still was in seclusion in Jiangzhou Star.

  Moreover, Striking Order Heavenly Emperor had also not come out. Although his strength surpassed Striking Order, his influence was still not on the same level as Striking Order. He wanted to post notices to look for Luofei and Qionghua in all corners of Striking Order Starry Sky. But he knew it wouldn’t generate much effect without the support from Striking Order Heavenly Emperor. Moreover, it had already been quite some time since he established the Mysterious Yellow Sect. Yet, he didn’t receive any news about Luofei and Qionghua. From this, he guessed that the two were most likely living in seclusion and might not come out for the near future.

  Therefore, he must take advantage of this opportunity and take a trip to Graceful Star Mainland. After thinking over the issues, Ning Cheng decided that now was the only appropriate moment to re-enter Graceful Star Mainland.

  With the Breaking Boundary Talisman, the only other thing that could stop him was Graceful Star Mainland’s law suppression. Ning Cheng clearly understood that it would be impossible to make a quick advancement to a level where a low-level mainland’s law wouldn’t affect him. Even if his Mysterious Yellow Bead could go against the heavens to help him reach that level quickly, he simply didn’t have the necessary cultivation resources.

  Therefore, to get to the Graceful Star Mainland and get the giant’s eye back, the only way was to prevent the lower-level interface’s law from suppressing him. Ning Cheng thought that since he could simulate the celestial wheel, then maybe he could use the same principle to prevent the laws from crushing him in a low-level interface.

  If this plan didn’t work, he would then try suppressing his cultivation. Using the Mysterious Yellow ‘Formless Traceless’, he could completely suppress his cultivation down to the Domain Realm.

  Without the Breaking Boundary Talisman, Ning Cheng would have definitely tried to look for opportunities to cultivate and advance to the Eternal Realm first. But now that he obtained a Breaking Boundary Talisman, Ning Cheng promptly made the decision to head back to Graceful Star Mainland. If Striking Order Heavenly Emperor had still not returned, he would then try to look for ways to take control of Striking Order Starry Sky. And then distribute the message to find Luofei, if she was still within the Striking Order Starry Sky.

  A few days later, Ning Cheng stood on the Receiving Heaven’s Stone, feeling a few deep emotions emerging in his heart.

  Yan Ji was forced to escape on reaching this place, and he also had rescued Yi Zhuzhu, who was chained and tortured in this place. He had later saved Yi Zhuzhu’s parents, Yi Jin and Chang Manyin, in Border City.

  He had saved the dying Yi Zhuzhu and had even used the Essence of Wood to treat her, treating Yi Zhuzhu as family.

  Yet, how did Yi Zhuzhu repay him?

  Luofei, who had taken her in as a sister, got tricked into entering the Storm Bridge by others. Not only did she not investigate it, but she also didn’t even want to rescue her. Instead, she cleaned out his and Luofei’s cultivation chamber and gave it to the male cultivator who framed Luofei.

  After he returned, Yi Zhuzhu not only showed any remorse but also tried to help that male cultivator who wanted to harm Luofei. She had utterly forgotten the kindness they had shared with her. At that moment, even he couldn’t believe that a heart could turn so cold.

  If that was the case, it wouldn’t have mattered too much. Ning Cheng would have still written off Yi Zhuzhu’s behaviour as a result of not having any experience with dealing with people. But after he killed the man who framed Luofei, her eyes had turned grey from hatred. She might have managed to hide it from others, but it couldn’t escape Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness. He could tell she had entirely erased the
help and grace not just to her but also to her family.

  Besides, with Luofei trapped in the Bridge of Storms, she didn’t even bother about searching for her. Instead, she concentrated only on cultivating and serving her ‘sweetheart’. If not for Yi Jin and Chang Manyin, Ning Cheng would have killed Yi Zhuzhu with a fireball right then and there. In life, the one thing he hated the most was people who willingly forget the gratefulness and gratitude shown to them by others. Yet, Yi Zhuzhu had blown past that limit.

  These scenes continued to flash through Ning Cheng’s mind. After a long time, Ning Cheng gave a sigh and took out the Breaking Boundary Talisman.

  Ning Cheng had just brought out the Breaking Boundary Talisman and activated it when it transformed into a white aperture, which immediately took away Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness spread out and quickly felt the various interfaces flashing past him. This made Ning Cheng relieved. With his cultivation and the Breaking Boundary Talisman, sure enough, he could choose the interface without the risk of entering the wrong place.

  The next moment, a blue ocean appeared in front of Ning Cheng.

  The Graceful Star Ocean.

  Ning Cheng recognised it at a glance.

  Without waiting for Ning Cheng to take any action, chaotic laws surrounded him. Even the surrounding space started to issue creaking-like noises. The power of space, time, and every other attribute squeezed towards Ning Cheng as if they rejected his very presence. It felt as if these laws would either self-destruct and turn this part of the world into nothingness or crush Ning Cheng into fragments.

  Ning Cheng, on the contrary, felt as if he could easily tear apart the void and leave whenever he wanted.

  Since he finally returned to Graceful Star Mainland once again, how could Ning Cheng leave? But just when he was about to suppress his own cultivation, the Mysterious Yellow Origin Aura from the Mysterious Yellow Bead suddenly started to spread out. At this moment, his Sea of Consciousness, meridians and even Dantian began to overflow with the Mysterious Yellow Aura. But what made Ning Cheng feel even more absurd was that he could feel a similar law aura starting to emerge within the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
