Ning Cheng motioned Xian Chanxu to stand aside before speaking to Guan Ruotong. “I’m sure that your Blue River Mountain’s Lan Yi has gone into seclusion to try and break into the Eternal Realm, right? Go back and tell your people from Blue River Mountain that Ning Cheng will be taking over this matter.”
Ning Cheng still had a good impression of Lan Yi from Blue River Mountain. This woman not only had a good heart but had also exchanged a critical material that he needed. However, Ning Cheng also felt very upset that Blue River Mountain wanted to occupy the Rainbowfall Mystic Realm.
“Ah….” Guan Ruotong immediately went into shock when she heard Ning Cheng’s words. She quickly bowed and said, “Junior greets Senior Ning. Our Blue River Mountain has been in the wrong in this matter, and am willing to bear any punishment for it.”
While talking, Guang Ruotong had already sent out a message. She knew Lan Yi quite well, which meant that she also learned about what kind of existence Ning Cheng was. Therefore, the moment she heard Ning Cheng’s name, she immediately sent Lan Yi a message.
Ning Cheng ignored Guang Ruotong but spoke up loudly. “I’m Ning Cheng, from Graceful Star Mainland’s Rainbowfall Sword Sect, and also the Sect Master of Graceful Star Mainland’s Rainbowfall Sword Sect. Do you think that I’m now qualified to take care of this matter? I already am aware that Universal Development Sect, Constellation Sect, Scarlet Cloud Faction, Green Feather Spirit Religion, Void Border Gate and Blue River Mountain covet the core of my Rainbowfall Sword Sect, the Rainbowfall Mystic Realm. I also know that this so-called competition is just an excuse to come to my Rainbowfall Sword Sect to kill my Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s core disciples.”
When the cultivators here heard Ning Cheng’s words, they almost couldn’t comprehend what they just heard. The Rainbowfall Sword Sect had such a powerhouse? If he truly belonged to Rainbowfall Sword Sect, then it was the perfect justification for him to intervene in this matter.
The elders from the other sects started to panic. No one even questioned if Ning Cheng spoke the truth or not. People at the level of Ning Cheng, why would they come to such a place and claim to be a part of it?
What should they do now?
With Rainbowfall Sword Sect having such an expert, it would truly be a stupid move to covet Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s mystic realm.
Xian Chanxu and Yu Bo, on the contrary, felt ecstatic. They never expected that this expert truly was someone from the Rainbowfall Sword Sect, or that he came from Graceful Star Mainland. With such an expert, not to mention Sifting Forest Star, even within the entire starry sky, no one would dare have any ideas over the Rainbowfall Sword Sect.
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Qu Xusheng’s face turned white. He already felt worried that Ning Cheng would pick him and throw him into an array formation at any moment and force him to blow up. If it was before, they still could use some flimsy excuse to force Ning Cheng to back away, but now, reason has already left their side. Even if Ning Cheng killed all of them, he wouldn’t have to worry about pushing people down.
At this moment, a cyan-coloured shadow quickly descended from the sky.
Immediately, a young female cultivator walked up to Ning Cheng and bowed before speaking with a highly respectful and reverence-filled tone. “Junior Lan Yi greets Senior Ning and also thanks Senior for the help.”
Lan Yi addressed Ning Cheng as ‘Brother Ning’ before, but now she dared not call him that. Moreover, Ning Cheng was an expert no weaker than Kong He. Since her Blue River Mountain caused such trouble for Rainbowfall Sword Sect, it immediately frightened Lan Yi.
When it came to Ning Cheng, she knew him better than anyone else present here. She had even witnessed Ning Cheng extinguishing old man Kong He’s prestige. Ning Cheng had even killed Fu Si, who was so powerful that she couldn’t even imagine it. What’s more, Ning Cheng had even shown her great kindness. But even without that kindness, Blue River Mountain can’t afford to offend such a powerhouse.
“Sure enough, you already stepped into the Eternal Realm.” Ning Cheng nodded. He guessed that Lan Yi, most likely, didn’t know about this matter. With Lan Yi’s eagerness from back then, she would have immediately secluded herself to break into the Eternal Realm and then stabilise her cultivation.
Lan Yi spoke with trepidation, “Senior has shown the utmost kindness to Lan Yi. My Blue River Mountain wrongly coveted Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s mystic realm and deserves punishment. This junior will stand trial for Blue River Mountain’s actions, and will accept any punishment without a sound.”
Lan Yi, as the newly advanced Eternal expert of Blue River Mountain, had already held an Eternal Advancement Ceremony before, which they all had attended. Now that the elders from other sects saw how Lan Yi spoke to Ning Cheng as a revered senior, it immediately threw them into even more panic.
Qu Xusheng was the first to react and immediately slapped a Heaven Seated elder next to him in the face, “Fool, you listened to Universal Development Sect’s bewitchment. How could you dare to offend your friends without figuring out the truth……?”
After putting up a performance, he bowed to Ning Cheng and waited for him to speak, as if accepting a punishment.
With Qu Xusheng taking the lead, the other sects also picked up on it and put up one performance after another. They all wanted to take the opportunity to put themselves on lower pedestals.
Ning Cheng only sneered at the clowns in front of him. If it were him, he would have already erased them with a single pass from a Time Wheel. But Ning Cheng also understood that Sect Master Xian Chanxu of Rainbowfall Sword Sect must resolve this matter himself. After all, he wouldn’t stay here forever, and Xian Chanxu was still the sect master in this place.

Ning Cheng turned his head and said to Xian Chanxu next to him, “You’re the Sect Master of Rainbowfall Sword Sect, you can handle it.”
Xian Chanxu immediately stood up when he heard Ning Cheng’s words, “Because of Universal Development Sect’s oppression, Rainbowfall Sword Sect suffered a huge loss this time….”
Without waiting for Xian Chanxu to finish, Qu Xusheng quickly spoke up. “Yes, yes, this time, we ended up bewitched by one sect and should rightfully compensate Rainbowfall Sword Sect for the damage. I suggest that each sect here give up a star vein, 100 million Perpetual Moon Pills and one million Permanent Essence Pills. We should also give up ten spots for Sifting Forest Mystic Realm.”
Ning Cheng had no idea about this Sifting Forest Mystic Realm, but from the looks of it, it should be something similar to the Time Wilderness. However, the offer only garnered a secret sneer from Ning Cheng. Did this Qu Xusheng think that he could brush all of what happened today with such a paltry offer? If replaced by Ning Cheng, even if he decided not to kill these bastards, he would have at least forced these sects to give up on the Sifting Forest Star.
But to Ning Cheng’s surprise, Xian Chanxu only hesitated for a bit before nodding in agreement with Qu Xusheng’s proposal. “Sect Master Qu is correct. This time, Universal Development Sect bewitched everyone. Now that Universal Development Sect’s sect master has fallen, we should all consider ourselves in the same boat. As for compensation, just follow the words of Sect Master Qu.”
Ning Cheng frowned slightly, but he quickly understood Xian Chanxu’s reasoning. When he asked Xian Chanxu to take care of it as the sect master, Xian Chanxu must have realised that he wouldn’t stay in Rainbowfall Sword Sect for long.
Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s current momentum was all thanks to him. Once he left, and since Rainbowfall Sword Sect had already offended too many sects, it wouldn’t survive for long by itself in Sifting Forest Star. Therefore, Xian Chanxu’s decision as the sect master was the correct one.
&
nbsp; Seeing Xian Chanxu look over at him, Ning Cheng waved his hand and said, “Just follow Sect Master Xian’s instructions, except for one slight exception.”
Ning Cheng casually walked over to the only remaining elder from Universal Development Sect before speaking up with a cold voice, “Rather it’s two things. First, Universal Development Sect will send the culprits responsible for Feng Kai’s death to Rainbowfall Sword Sect. Second, Universal Development Sect has to move out of the Sifting Forest Star.”
“Yes, senior. It was Bao Xuan and Liang Qiuqi who killed Feng Kai, and my Universal Development Sect will immediately leave Sifting Forest Star…..” This elder didn’t dare to speak even half a word against it. Therefore, after he finished speaking, he quickly retreated as far as physically possible from Ning Cheng.
The Universal Development Sect had come here to force the Rainbowfall Sword Sect out. But the result was the opposite. Not only did they not force away Rainbowfall Sword Sect, but the Rainbowfall Sword Sect had forced them away. As for the elders and sect master of the other sects, they immediately decided to make amends with Rainbowfall Sword Sect. With Universal Development Sect withdrawing from the Sifting Forest Star, the mineral veins and some of the spiritual lands left behind by Universal Development Sect would naturally end up under Rainbowfall Sword Sect.
“Sect Master Ning, many years ago, I met a Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s disciple from Graceful Star Mainland in Culmination Grand Starry Sky. His name was Rui Baishan….”
Before Xian Chanxu could finish speaking, Ning Cheng immediately interrupted him, “Did you say Sect Master Rui Baishan also came here?”
Xian Chanxu initially thought that Ning Cheng was Rui Baishan’s predecessor. But now that he heard Ning Cheng call Rui Baishan as ‘Sect Master’ he understood that Ning Cheng wasn’t Rui Baishan’s predecessor.
Because of this, he no longer was in a position to call out Rui Baishan’s name directly and spoke with a conservative tone. “Yes, Sect Master Rui followed me to the Rainbowfall Sword Sect and remained here for about half a year before venturing into the starry skies alone for gaining experience.”
Ning Cheng had a relatively good understanding of Rui Baishan. Ning Cheng understood that he was a very strong-willed person and would take up any opportunity that came his way. Rui Baishan wouldn’t stay in a sect for long and let his cultivation stagnate, which Ning Cheng found quite reasonable and consistent with what he knew about him.
Ning Cheng nodded, “I’ll be taking my leave now. If you have any problems, you can come to my Mysterious Yellow Celestial River in Culmination Grand Starry Sky to find me. Mysterious Yellow Celestial River belongs to me, and I also established my Mysterious Yellow Sect there. If you find your future development restricted here, you can also choose to shift your Rainbowfall Sword Sect to Mysterious Yellow Celestial River.”
When Xian Chanxu heard that Ning Cheng had established a sect, his expressions turned even more respectful. He also vaguely guessed that Ning Cheng wasn’t a true disciple cultivated by Graceful Star Mainland’s Rainbowfall Sword Sect. Otherwise, Ning Cheng wouldn’t have established a separate sect.
Seeing Ning Cheng about to leave, Yu Yayun quickly stepped forward to thank him. She had already discovered that the vine tattoo on her wrist had disappeared after she stepped down from the duelling platform. From this, she presumed that Ning Cheng had already taken it away.
Ning Cheng looked at Xian Chanxu and said, “Yu Yayun is a good disciple. Give her a safe cave and concentrate on cultivating her.”
Yu Yayun had received Ning Cheng’s help; Xian Chanxu had already understood it by now. And now, Ning Cheng had explicitly asked him to take care of Yu Yayun before leaving. From this, Xian Chanxu presumed that Ning Cheng should have taken a liking to Yu Yayun. Besides, Yu Yayun’s appearance would arouse any man, so it wasn’t surprising to him that Ning Cheng would fancy her.
Thinking of this, Xian Chanxu quickly spoke, “Sect Master Ning can rest assured, I will take care of Yu Yayun to the best of my abilities.”
If Ning Cheng knew about Xian Chanxu’s thoughts, he would have kicked him away immediately. The reason why he had said that sentence just now had nothing to do with Yu Yayun. It’s because Ning Cheng had given Yu Yayun a Life and Death cultivator’s ring. If he didn’t explicitly state to Xian Chanxu about taking care of Yu Yayun, the ring he gave her wouldn’t help her at all. Rather, it would only bring her more harm than do any good.
Yu Yayun’s face blushed slightly. But even if Ning Cheng liked her, she wouldn’t change her mind. She would only have Liang Yi in her heart. Even if Liang Yi perished, it would never change her thoughts about him.
Just as she thought about how she should let her aunt air out her thoughts to sect master, Ning Cheng cupped his fists towards her sect master, Elder Yu Bo and the others. “I’ll be taking my leave now. If you need anything, you can come to my Stately River Star to find me.”
After saying this, Ning Cheng stepped into the air and disappeared without leaving a trace. Yu Yayun gave out a sigh. She understood that she and her sect master overthought a few things. If Ning Cheng truly had any interest in her, he would have said something to her before leaving.
……
Chasing Bull controlled the Starry Sky Wheel as it shuttled through the starry sky. During this time, Ning Cheng took out the Celestial River Flame and the Void Shimmering Light Crystal. He had to raise the Celestial River Flame’s grade first before doing anything else.
The surface of the Void Shimmering Light Crystal looked like a Space Crystal. It seemed hollow on the inside too. However, once one’s spiritual consciousness penetrated it, one could then feel the heat coming from a thousand strands of shimmering lights inside of it. Even Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness couldn’t stay inside it for long and could only touch the lights before it melted away.
But as soon as the Celestial River Flame touched the Void Shimmering Light Crystal, the Celestial River Flame immediately formed a bright dao flame flower. As the Celestial River Flame swept through the Void Shimmering Light Crystal, the dazzling lights within it instantly lit up the entire starry sky wheel like a rising sun.
Chasing Bull, who put its full concentration into controlling the Starry Sky Wheel, immediately felt startled by the dazzling lights that suddenly breached through the restrictions. However, it quickly understood that Ning Cheng was upgrading his flame and promptly shifted his concentration back to controlling the Starry Sky Wheel.
In just an incense stick-worth of time, the dazzling lights over the surface of Celestial River Flame dissipated and the Celestial River Flame started to hover in front of Ning Cheng. At this moment, it began to look more like the vast and boundless starry sky than a flame. Even the six almost-invisible golden flame halos around the surface of the Celestial River Flame looked like six rivers flowing through the Milky Way’s heavens. It gave the flame an exquisite appearance.
Ning Cheng could also feel the Celestial River’s joy, as well as the high temperatures contained within the Celestial River Flame.
Ning Cheng didn’t hesitate and took out the Nirvana’s Heart. Celestial River Flame had just advanced to a Grade 6 Starry Sky Flame, and he also had a Nirvana’s Heart at hand. Therefore, Ning Cheng would naturally let the Celestial River Flame evolve once again and become a spirit grade flame as mentioned by old man Kong He.
Previously, when Ning Cheng took out the Void Shimmering Light Crystal, the Celestial River Flame had only formed a dao flame flower before engulfing the crystal. But, at this time, when Ning Cheng took out the Nirvana’s Heart, the Celestial River Flame, which had already reached Starry Sky Grade 6, immediately issued a joyous scream. An instant later, it immediately rushed over.
At this time, Ning Cheng could only see it with his eyes as the Celestial River Flame rolled out like a flaming tornado. The terrifying temperatures of Nirvana’s Heart and the Celestial River Flame then quickly intertwined and started to fuse.
Ning Cheng tried to
extend his spiritual consciousness to watch the process more closely. But the moment his spiritual consciousness touched the Nirvana’s Heart, it immediately turned into nothingness under the terrifying heat. Ning Cheng quickly took back his spiritual consciousness. The Celestial River Flame was still in mid-ascension, and he couldn’t suppress the Nirvana’s Heart anymore with his current strength. Moreover, he couldn’t even observe the process with his spiritual consciousness.
But even though his spiritual consciousness couldn’t sweep in, Ning Cheng could still see and feel that the Celestial River Flame was starting to converge on itself. The seemingly vast Celestial River Flame seemed to want to hide, and the brilliant flaming surface from before begun to turn ordinary. If it weren’t for the continually rising temperature, Ning Cheng would have never thought that the Celestial River Flame was evolving, but regressing on itself.
With the Nirvana’s Heart still glowing at the centre, the Celestial River Flame seemed to be growing weaker. It felt as if the Celestial River Flame wanted to turn itself into something completely ordinary. After an unknown amount of time, the Nirvana’s Heart at the centre of the Celestial River Flame disappeared, and the Celestial River Flame suddenly dimmed, almost vanishing into the darkness.
Was this weak flame still his Celestial River Flame?
But Ning Cheng quickly discovered a difference. If the previous Celestial River Flame felt vast and boundless like a celestial river, the Celestial River Flame now felt like the endless starry sky. The brilliance on the surface had disappeared, but it now seemed to contain infinite celestial rivers inside of it.
If one hadn’t roamed the starry skies, one wouldn’t have known what the starry skies looked like from the outside.
While Ning Cheng observed this new Celestial River Flame, the dim flame quietly landed on Ning Cheng’s outstretched palm and gave off a kind of intimate aura.
