The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Ning Cheng raised his hand and cast another Time Wheel. This time, the already dim light dragon gave out a shrill scream before disappearing without a trace.

  It only left behind a weak ray of golden light, which Ning Cheng grabbed.

  On close examination, this ray of light had the shape of a dragon. That’s right; it indeed was a dragon-shaped light shadow. Although it looked almost invisible, it seemed to contain a one-of-a-kind light essence. Moreover, this light shadow exuded a majestic aura like that of a dragon. From the looks of it, the imposing manner of a dragon had fused with the light shadow.

  Ning Cheng recognised it as an Origin Dragon Soul. Moreover, it was also the most powerful Light Origin Dragon Soul among Origin Dragon Souls. Ning Cheng took in a deep breath after realising it. From a certain point of view, the value of this Origin Dragon Soul did not lose out to that of an Origin Bead.

  An Origin Dragon Soul formed through a similar process as that of the formation of amber. But unlike amber, it was an exceedingly rare treasure. In general, Origin Dragon Souls could only form in ancient times.

  The ancient eras contained thick Origin Auras, which meant that those eras gave birth to many powerhouses. However, the countless power battles during those periods also caused the deaths of numerous powerhouses.

  Most likely, an ancient dragon’s body collapsed during one of those battles, leaving behind only an essence spirit soul. If this essence spirit soul fell in an Origin Aura-rich area, the Origin Aura would wrap around the essence spirit soul and seal it inside of it. Moreover, the dragon soul sealed inside the Origin Aura would lose all consciousness unless someone unsealed it quickly. If found later, one could even refine the Origin Aura-sealed Dragon Soul into a powerful helper.

  Moreover, the kind of origin that sealed the dragon soul determined the type of origin dragon soul the dragon soul would form. From the looks of it, Teng Shao’s dragon soul gestated within Light Origin, which transformed it into a Light Origin Dragon Soul. Even the strengths and weaknesses of the Origin Dragon Soul depended entirely on the origin that sealed the dragon soul and the power of the dragon soul itself.

  In addition to the Origin Dragon Soul, one could also find other Origin Essence Spirits. But the ones that could form Origin Essence Spirits were all noble and powerful spirit beasts, i.e. those with noble blood. Such as dragons, qilins, phoenixes, kun pengs, black turtles and so on.

  Ning Cheng carefully placed the Light Origin Dragon Soul within a jade box and sighed in his heart. Such a thing was just too valuable. Fortunately, Teng Shao hadn’t fully refined this Light Origin Dragon Soul. Otherwise, even with the power offered by the starry sky body, this Origin Dragon Soul could have easily smashed him to pieces.

  This Light Origin Dragon Soul perhaps was his best harvest till now.

  Looking at the battlefield filled with ravines in front of him, Ning Cheng couldn’t help but feel unpleasant. At this time, he saw no cultivator within the range of his sight. The faster cultivators had already fled a long time ago. As for the slower ones, they all died under the immense killing powers unleashed during the battle.

  Ning Cheng called out Ji Luofei but didn’t ask why Ji Luofei had come here. However, Ji Luofei felt utterly shocked on seeing the ruins and devastation surrounding her.

  How many cultivators had come here looking for Yan Ji? What happened to Nine Jewels Starry Sky Emperor Shangguan Fei?

  As if reading the doubts from Ji Luofei’s face, Ning Cheng gently stroked Ji Luofei’s hair and said, “Shangguan Fei and Teng Shao died at my hands. As for the others, they escaped.”

  Ji Luofei had no idea about Teng Shao, but she knew that Shangguan Fei’s strength had far surpassed her. Hearing that Ning Cheng killed Shangguan Fei, even if she turned stupid, she understood that Ning Cheng’s strength could compare to an Eternal-level powerhouse. He, most likely, had already advanced to the Eternal Realm. At this moment, only joy filled her heart. She left everything aside and reflexively embraced Ning Cheng again. At the same time, her red lips also found Ning Cheng’s lips.

  Even if she had a reserved and restrained personality, after so many years of separation from Ning Cheng, the impromptu meeting couldn’t contain her inner excitement and madness.

  The endless thoughts, anxiety, expectations, and anticipations, at this moment, all melted away under this silent kiss. Not to mention that this place didn’t have anyone but the two of them, even in the presence of other people, she couldn’t have held back the longing and desire built up within her.

  Ning Cheng also wrapped his hand around Ji Luofei’s slender waist. Feeling Ji Luofei’s soft body pressing against him, all the worries in his heart quickly melted away.

  Ji Luofei had also willingly lost herself within the pleasure. But when Ning Cheng’s hand fell on her hips, she suddenly sober up and spoke up with anxiety. “Dear, Yan Ji, they had come here to capture Yan Ji. Yan Ji must be under this entrapment formation.”

  Ning Cheng also recovered. To be precise, he had come here looking not for Ji Luofei but Yan Ji.

  “Don’t worry. We’ll go down and have a look.” Ning Cheng’s Dao of Arrays had already reached Starry Sky Grade 9. The battle had almost destroyed this entrapment formation. But even if it contained a fully active hidden killing formation, it wouldn’t pose much threat to Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng held Ji Luofei’s hand and walked towards the half-broken entrapment formation before suddenly asking, “Luofei, did Qionghua also come?”

  Hearing Ning Cheng asking about Shi Qionghua, Ji Luofei flinched. Ning Cheng could feel Ji Luofei’s hand turning a bit cold and suddenly felt his heart sinking. He had a terrible feeling about it.

  Ning Cheng stopped to look at Ji Luofei. He truly felt afraid that Ji Luofei would say that something terrible had happened to Qionghua. He had learned from Seeking Caution’s mouth that Qionghua’s injuries had not recovered at all when Luofei and Qionghua left.

  “What happened to Qionghua?” Ning Cheng’s tone trembled a bit. But he still believed, or rather hoped, that nothing happened to Qionghua.

  Ji Luofei spoke with a whisper-like voice, “Someone took away Sister Qionghua. Moreover, the woman who took away Qionghua had immense power. She said that she was Sister Qionghua’s sister, and said that she would come looking for you to settle the bill. If not for Sister Qionghua, that woman would have killed me……”

  Ning Cheng clenched his fist.

  When did Qionghua have a sister?

  He never heard of it. But no matter who, if they showed even the slightest intention to kill Luofei, he would never let them go.

  Sensing the rage building within Ning Cheng, Ji Luofei took Ning Cheng’s hand and said softly, “Sister Qionghua must be fine. When our cultivation increases, we can go find Sister Qionghua.”

  Ning Cheng’s emotions calmed down and stroked Ji Luofei’s long hair before speaking with a sigh, “Luofei, I let you suffer during all these years….”

  Ji Luofei shook her head. “I did not suffer anything. I’ve been hiding in a secluded place for cultivation. But you, in just a few years, have already reached the Eternal Realm. You’ve suffered the most.”

  Ji Luofei herself was a starry sky cultivator. She naturally knew about the sheer impossibility of reaching the Eternal Realm. Even after cultivating for all these years, and obtaining so many opportunities, she only recently made it to Heaven’s Mandate Realm. Yet, it was still a level 108,000 miles away from the Eternal Realm. Since Ning Cheng could reach the Eternal Realm, she didn’t need to ask at all. She understood that Ning Cheng had suffered many more hardships compared to her.

  Ning Cheng also quickly understood why Ji Luofei hadn’t come looking for his Mysterious Yellow Celestial River. Because of her seclusion, she had no idea that he had set up a sect.

  “Luofei, I haven’t reached the Eternal Realm yet. After we return, I will go into secluded cultivation to reach the Eternal Realm. You should also return and stay with me. I even created a sect called the Mys
terious Yellow Sect.” Ning Cheng spoke up with a soft voice.

  Ji Luofei also gave a gentle nod. She didn’t feel surprised on hearing that Ning Cheng could kill Shangguan Fei without advancing to the Eternal Realm. Since the time she started travelling with Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng had always remained the most resourceful and also the most reliable individual in her eyes. Moreover, Ning Cheng even had the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Since Ning Cheng founded the Mysterious Yellow Sect, she also understood that he did it to get her and Big Sister Qionghua’s attention.

  “Come on, let’s go and see if Yan Ji is inside or not.” Ning Cheng took Ji Luofei’s hand and walked into the broken defensive formation. Even if this defensive formation remained intact, it couldn’t have stopped him, let alone now when the formation was in such a tattered state.

  The lower chamber complex had a complicated arrangement. For ordinary cultivators, it might take them a long time to figure it out, but it did not pose any problem for Ning Cheng. With his spiritual consciousness deployed without any reservation, in just half an incense stick’s worth of time, he opened the stone chamber behind the big screen and brought Ji Luofei inside with him.

  “Is it truly empty?” Ji Luofei looked at the empty stone chamber in front of her and asked in doubt.

  “No.” Ning Cheng replied and took out a few array flags before dropping them in specific locations. After another incense stick worth of time, a teleportation array appeared in the middle of the chamber. Four large grooves lined the four corners of the teleportation array, but he saw no one seated over it. At first glance, it looked as if no one had used it in a long time.

  Ning Cheng pointed to the teleportation array. “Someone opened this teleportation array not too long ago. I can feel some faint spacial fluctuations around it. Luofei, come with me, we’ll teleport over to the other side and have a look.”

  After Ji Luofei entered the teleportation array with him, Ning Cheng waved his hand and filled up the four grooves with Permanent Essence Pills. But what puzzled Ning Cheng was that even after filling up the groves with Permanent Essence Pills, the teleportation array showed no movement. Ning Cheng removed the Permanent Essence Pills and replaced it with a bunch of Starry Sky Crystals. But even then, the teleportation array showed no response.

  Ning Cheng frowned and put away the Starry Sky Crystals before speaking, “Luofei, Yan Ji had indeed come here. But she should have already teleported away.”

  “Then we….” Ji Luofei understood something before she even finished her words. “Dear, do you think Yan Ji destroyed the teleportation array on the other side?”

  Ning Cheng nodded, “It looks like it. If it were me, I would have also done the same.”

  “Then, can we fix this teleportation array?” Ji Luofei asked with some concern.

  Ning Cheng shook his head. “This is an ancient teleportation array. The cultivator who arranged this array has a much higher understanding of array formations. Moreover, the array this cultivator set up is not a single-directional one. You could use this array to come and go like a two-way street. I have no way to activate this teleportation array for now, at least not until my array formation mastery reaches the level of an Array Dao Master.”

  Only Emperor Array Masters who exceeded Starry Sky Grade 9, held the title ‘Dao Masters’. After advancing to the level of an Array Dao Master, Ning Cheng could easily modify the fundamental structure of this teleportation array’s base. With that, he could then teleport to the corresponding coordinates of the other transmission array without the need for uncovering the original position.

  Seeing Ji Luofei’s worry, Ning Cheng comforted her. “Yan Ji has a tenacious spirit. Since she could survive on her own for so long in the starry skies, she shouldn’t have any problems in surviving after teleporting away from this place. Just to be sure, I will seal this place completely and not allow anyone to come here.”

  Although he spoke those words to comfort Ji Luofei, in reality, it was to calm himself.

  ……

  Five days later, Ning Cheng left the Thorn Tooth Lake with Ji Luofei. He had finished sealing that underground complex and even added a few concealed array formations to guard it. People could still come out from inside, but no one can find it from the outside, let alone enter it. At least not unless their understanding of array formations exceeded him. But even then, they would have to look at it carefully and slowly.

  “Sect Master Ning….” Ning Cheng had just walked out of Thorn Tooth Lake with Ji Luofei when a polite voice interrupted his thoughts.

  “Are you looking for me?” Ning Cheng asked, looking at the slightly pale man in front of him. He knew for sure that he had never seen this man before this moment.

  This man was a late-stage Life and Death cultivator, and apart from a slightly pale face, this man exuded intelligence.

  “This junior is called Luo Sizhe. I lived my who life in Nine Jewels Starry Sky. This junior heard that senior killed that old thief Shangguan Fei and so I specifically came to thank you.” Luo Sizhe gave Ning Cheng a respectful bow.

  Ning Cheng didn’t ask any question. Since Luo Sizhe said and did such a thing then presumably, he had a significant grudge against Shangguan Fei.

  Luo Sizhe voluntarily spoke up, “Shangguan Fei was a vicious and sinister pervert. This junior had been hiding in Nine Jewels Starry Sky for almost all my life to kill this beast. But now that senior killed Shangguan Fei, the Nine Jewels Starry Sky no longer has any Starry Sky Emperor. If senior so desires, this junior can willingly take control of Nine Jewels Starry Sky in senior’s steed.”

  Ning Cheng showed a faint smile. He guessed that this was Luo Sizhe’s primary purpose.

  “Luo Sizhe, Nine Jewels Starry Sky belongs to Culmination Grand Starry Sky, and it has a close relationship with Chuan Xinlou. Are you sure you want to take control of Nine Jewels Starry Sky?” Ning Cheng spoke with a calm tone while looking at Luo Sizhe.

  Nine Jewels Starry Sky and Striking Order Starry Sky sat next to each other. But Ning Cheng had no intention of taking over Nine Jewels Starry Sky. He didn’t like being in control of territories or becoming a starry sky emperor. Just having Stately River Star was more than enough for him. In truth, Ning Cheng liked having the freedom that came with not having to manage a territory.

  Luo Sizhe spoke up with utmost sincerity, “This junior wanted to kill Shangguan Fei for revenge all his life, so he hadn’t taken anything else seriously. Now that senior killed Shangguan Fei and thereby liberating me from my revenge, this junior just wants to repay the favour to senior.”

  Ning Cheng could feel Luo Sizhe’s sincerity. Whether he took control of Nine Jewels Starry Sky or not, it didn’t matter to him. But now that someone took the initiative to help him, Ning Cheng at least didn’t need to push it away immediately. So, he just gave a casual consent to it.

  Even if Chuan Xinlou knew that Nine Jewels Starry Sky switched allegiances, he would have to find Ning Cheng first to create any trouble. Moreover, Luo Sizhe did not feel any fear, so why would he show any concern?

  “Alright, since that’s the case, you can have control of Nine Jewels Starry Sky. If Chuan Xinlou comes here, you can push the blame to me. I can’t help you much, so look out and take care of things by yourself. I will, however, give you a suggestion of referring to the rules of my Mysterious Yellow Celestial River to run things here. If there’s something urgent that you can’t deal with, just send me a message.” Ning Cheng finished and took out a communication pearl before handing it to Luo Sizhe.

  Luo Sizhe took the communication pearl and said with excitement, “Sect Master can rest assured. I will not let Sect Master down.”

  With Nine Jewels Starry Sky, Luo Sizhe would one day reach heights c
omparable to the other starry sky emperors. Luo Sizhe, of course, knew that he had to pay the price for it. But surrendering to Ning Cheng was a much better option than Chuan Xinlou. Moreover, no matter what he did or would do, he would never reach Chuan Xinlou’s eyes and wouldn’t have any chance to speak to him at all. As a latecomer in the cultivation world, he had no choice but to turn to Ning Cheng. Besides, Ning Cheng had even helped him, Luo Sizhe, achieve his revenge.

  ……

  A little farewell is better than a new marriage. Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei had remained apart for so long. Therefore, on the way back to Stately River Star[1], Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei did not separate for even the slightest bit. The two stayed together till they reached Stately River Star. Ning Cheng cultivated the Mysterious Yellow Formless, which incorporated all kinds of Origin Auras. Therefore, during the time Ji Luofei and Ning Cheng stayed together, her cultivation made rapid progress. At the same time, it even improved her qualifications.

  After Ning Cheng returned to Stately River Star with Ji Luofei, Ruolan and Ruoqing had still not come out of secluded cultivation. Therefore, Ning Cheng introduced Ji Luofei to everyone else before establishing an independent cultivation cave for Ji Luofei within the Mysterious Yellow Sect.

  Even though Ning Cheng didn’t come out to speak, or even show up, everyone in Stately River Star understood that Sect Master Ning had returned. Primarily because every time Sect Master Ning returned, the concentration of Starry Sky Essence Qi within Stately River Star would increase sharply. This time was also no exception.

  Ning Cheng had obtained so many Starry Sky Spirit Veins, no he naturally wouldn’t show any reluctance to make use of it. His sister Ning Ruolan, his wife Ji Luofei, and his many friends and acquaintances had made this place their home for cultivation. So why would he care about spending a few Starry Sky Essence Qi Spirit Veins for them?

  Therefore, this time, he planted more than a dozen Starry Sky Essence Qi Veins within Stately River Star. With so many Star Veins implanted, Covered Snow City almost overflowed with Starry Sky Essence Qi. Even the rest of Stately River Star experienced a significant rise in the concentration of Spiritual Qi.
