The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  The space between the two lit up with colourful lights before everything turned colourless. Only the killing power remained within the area. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that it was a false illusion of killing power that came from the body of the thin man who had already collapsed.

  “Bang…..” The thin man’s head split apart, and the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow also disappeared without a trace.

  Ning Cheng grabbed the thin man’s ring, slumped onto the ground, and swallowed several medicinal pills. There wasn’t any need to pretend. His face had already turned pale from the exertion, and even after swallowing that strong spiritual consciousness, Ning Cheng felt weak. However, Ning Cheng understood as long as these strands remained in his Sea of Consciousness, it wouldn’t be a blessing but a curse.

  From the Dark Nether Devouring Spirit Scroll records, he absolutely couldn’t refine these spiritual consciousness strands and use them as his own. Once he did this, he could never go back. It would be akin to taking narcotic drugs. As long as his body refined it once, there would be a second time and a third time……

  But whether a blessing or a curse, these strands of spiritual consciousness still had some uses in the current situation. Man Jiuren had walked over unhurriedly. He looked at the thin man lying on the ground, killed, and head split open by Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness Chop and showed a broad smile. “Ning Cheng, you truly are the first genius I have ever seen till now. With a puny middle-stage Eternal cultivation, you managed to kill Ding Xia, who had already reached half-step Dao Sculpting Realm. But I wonder if you can shoot another of those arrows? Kinda makes me curious, you know.”

  “Do you want my Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow?” Ning Cheng slowly stood up, and a black arrow appeared in his hand.

  Man Jiuren felt confident that Ning Cheng couldn’t shoot a second Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow. But his pupils still shrank to the size of pinpricks when he saw the black arrow in Ning Cheng’s hand.

  “Apart from that Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow, there is also the Life Force Plate. If I guessed it correctly, my Life Force Plate should be in your hands. Ning Cheng, I truly appreciate your abilities. If you surrender your spiritual soul and sign a servant contract with me, I can spare you this one time.” The Ninth Prince spoke with a cold tone.

  If not for the aura of the Life Force Plate coming from Ning Cheng, Man Jiuren would have already started. At this time, his domain had fully locked onto Ning Cheng. Plus, he could also feel that Ning Cheng was in a truly weakened state.

  Ning Cheng quickly understood a few things from this. No wonder Man Jiuren endured it till now. From the looks of it, this Life Force Plate wasn’t truly his weapon, and Man Jiuren most likely kept it hidden from his father.

  No matter Man Jiuren’s reason, Ning Cheng also understood that he couldn’t stay here and chat for long. Besides, against Man Jiuren, he had no choice but to use the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow. Know that using the arrow would immediately weaken him further, Ning Cheng didn’t hesitate to stimulate his spiritual consciousness and celestial essence.

  The black arrow started hovering in front of Ning Cheng. A five-coloured longbow started to form and gradually overlap with it. The grey aura of death quickly spread out, and the killing power that permeated the surroundings began to move the winds and clouds. At this moment, the world around the arrow started to lose colour; simultaneously, everything started to lose its dominance over life.

  The aura of death, the horrifying killing intent, the killing power permeating the space….

  As everything ‘slowly’ came together, it formed into a swirling void that then condensed into a grey point containing an unimaginable aura of death.

  The moment the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow activated, Man Jiuren couldn’t move anymore, as the arrow had entirely suppressed him. But even if he could move, he did not dare and could only stare at Ning Cheng in horror.

  “How? How can you shoot a second arrow? It’s not possible……” Man Jiuren muttered to himself in a hoarse tone. His gaze not only contained madness but also fear. Even if Ning Cheng was a heaven-defying genius, he shouldn’t have the capability of shooting two of those arrows in the Eternal Realm.

  The first time when he faced the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow, he only escaped because of a substitute. But this time, he didn’t have a replacement. If he died here, it would truly mean the end of him, Man Jiuren.

  Ning Cheng felt neither sorrow nor joy. However, his celestial essence and spiritual consciousness had now fully locked on to Man Jiuren. Since he could kill Man Jiuren once before, he could kill him a second time.

  Man Jiuren’s domain started to collapse inch-by-inch. All the pieces got swept into the grey-coloured killing intent oozing from the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow. At the same time, Ning Cheng’s hair also started to turn white and his face pale.

  As for the black arrow, it’s colour also started to fade into nothingness. At the same time, the multicoloured bow superimposed on it grew more and more colourful. Even the grey aura of death kept growing stronger….

  This grey killing intent was fundamentally different from the previous grey killing intent. If the previous one only had a shape, this one had real substance.

  “I understand….” Man Jiuren’s eyes had already turned red. He finally understood that the arrow Ning Cheng used previously was a fake. Ning Cheng had a fake Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow, which meant that Ning Cheng already knew that he would come looking for him. It also meant that Ning Cheng created that fake arrow to lure him into a trap.

  “You can’t kill me; put down your arrow…..” Despite knowing that Ning Cheng couldn’t put down the arrow, Man Jiuren still screamed out in madness.

  If his body collapsed this time, he no longer would be able to rise again. He absolutely cannot accept it. He wanted to control the entire Barbarian Dragon Clan; he wanted to become the top powerhouse in the whole Grand Essence Realm…..

  “Crack….” The Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow split the clouds and forced them to disperse in an instant the moment the aura of death surged out.

  Despair rose in Man Jiuren’s heart. The moment just before the arrow tore into his body, his essence spirit abandoned the body and escaped at speed countless times faster than a light shadow.

  Ning Cheng had just spewed out a mouthful of blood when he heard Man Jiuren’s essence spirit cry out, “Ning Cheng, you dare place an Essence Spirit Trapping Formation. You dare kill me…. you…..”

  How could Ning Cheng care about Man Jiuren’s threat? After escaping from Man Jiuren almost at the inch of his life every time, Ning Cheng had already made ample preparations. This fellow could run from Pan Qian; how could Ning Cheng not keep an eye out for it. It’s the reason why he set up a concealed Essence Spirit Trap Formation.

  A strand of Celestial River Flame shot out and quickly burned Man Jiuren’s spirit soul into nothingness.

  Unfortunately, he couldn’t grab Man Jiuren’s ring. Killing that thin man had already exhausted him, which meant that he no longer had the strength to salvage Man Jiuren’s ring. He could only watch the ring shatter to pieces with Man Jiuren’s body.

  Half an incense stick worth of time later, Ning Cheng could no longer stand straight due to exhaustion after the two back-to-back fights. He could only call out Chasing Bull and let Chasing Bull carry him away from this place immediately.

  ……

  The Grand Essence Mystic Realm’s opening was the biggest thing for all the sects within the Grand Essence Domain. But as the Dragon Emperor of the Barbarian Dragon Clan, Man Huishan decided to stay in the Grand Essence Ruins. The Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow was just too important to him. If he had this arrow, then even without becoming a Second Step Dao Fusion Holy Emperor, such experts would have to fear him.

  The Barbarian Dragon Clan looked glamorous on the surface, but he knew it full well that the clan was already in decline. Nobody knew about it better tha
n him. Without Man Suotian as a deterrent for other sects, the Barbarian Dragon Clan would have already ceased to exist. Moreover, over the countless years, the Barbarian Dragon Clan couldn’t produce any worthy heirs, to the point that except for Man Suotian, no one else in the clan had become a Dao Fusion Holy Emperor or even come close to becoming one. Even he remained stuck in the Dao Essence Realm for more than a hundred thousand years without the slightest improvement.

  Moreover, Ancestor Man Suotian never showed up after reaching Dao Perfection, nor had he any idea about his current whereabouts. Man Huishan only knew that his ancestor still lived, but that’s all he knew. Who could the Barbarian Dragon Clan rely on if something happened? It had to depend on him and his title of Dragon Emperor.

  Within the best suit of the best Grand Essence Ruins’ rest stop, Man Huishan casually picked up the cup of spiritual tea on the table. He took a sip as he pondered over these matters. It didn’t matter if the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow fell into the hands of Lifeless Poisonhand or the Heartless Monk. Or, even if it was still on Ning Cheng’s body, he couldn’t let anyone else know about it. This weapon, Man Huishan, decided to make it his own.

  After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, but before putting the teacup on the table, the Man Huishan’s face suddenly twisted with rage. The teacup in his hand immediately disintegrated, and he even slapped the table in front of him into nothingness. He suddenly stood up and shouted like a raging lunatic, “Who dared to kill this Man Huishan’s son?”

  Whether he dared or not, Ning Cheng had already killed Man Jiuren. At this time, Ning Cheng sat in a cave within a desert, trying to heal. He had already set up several defensive and concealment array discs at the cave entrance. At the same time, Chasing Bull stood right next to the door to sound the alarm if anything unexpected happened.

  Chasing Bull was currently a grade seven starry sky demonic beast; as such, in this place, he could only help in sounding the alarm. Any cultivator that could enter this mystic realm was at least in the Eternal Realm. Some of the disciples from those big sects had even reached half-step Dao Sculpting Realm. If Chasing Bull had to face those cultivators, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for even a single exchange.

  Previously, every time Ning Cheng used the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow, Ning Cheng had to rest and heal for more than a month. But this time, Ning Cheng only took half a month to recover fully.

  But even then, Ning Cheng walked out of the cave without much joy in his heart.

  Those strands of spiritual consciousness Ning Cheng had devoured back then had already started fusing with his Sea of Consciousness. Suppose Ning Cheng didn’t find a way to remove it. In that case, he could simply forget about cultivating his spiritual consciousness any further. Even advancing to the next level might become impossible. No matter how much he tried to separate it, he couldn’t separate those strands of devoured spiritual consciousness. Perhaps only one path existed, which was to refine those strands of spiritual consciousness into his own.

  Ning Cheng didn’t want to do this, nor did he dare to do it.

  Ning Cheng understood that worrying about the devoured strands of spiritual consciousness mixing into his Sea of Consciousness wouldn’t be of much help at this point. However, he also understood that Man Jiuren dying at his hands would not remain concealed for long. But even if it couldn’t stay hidden anymore, Ning Cheng would have killed Man Jiuren without hesitation.

  Killing Man Jiuren might put him in a bad situation. But if Ning Cheng didn’t kill Man Jiuren, it would become an even worse situation. Thinking about all these things, it would truly be a strange matter if Ning Cheng felt happy.

  Fortunately, there was still a year left before this place closed. Ning Cheng decided to put aside these troublesome things for now and concentrated on collecting divine grasses.

  The Grand Essence Mystic Realm covered a truly huge area. Despite more than 10,000 people entering the mystic realm, Ning Cheng still hadn’t met another person even after wandering for several days.

  But during these few days, he collected more than a dozen low-level and middle-level divine grasses, like the Black Mist Heaven Grass, Desolate Spirit Bud, Zen Spiritual Flower. As for high-grade divine grasses, Ning Cheng didn’t see even a single one.

  As for finding enough divine grasses to join the Grand Essence Great Meet, Ning Cheng had already abandoned the idea for now. Over ten thousand people entered the mystic realm to gather divine grasses and search for various heaven and earth treasures. Therefore, entering the top ten would be a truly challenging task to accomplish. It would be akin to trying to grasp the entire sky in one’s grasp.

  This matter wasn’t something that relied on the strength of one’s cultivation but entirely on one’s luck. Ning Cheng knew that he always enjoyed a ‘little luck’ on his side when it came to such things because of his Good Fortune treasure. But this ‘little luck’ wasn’t the same as having the blessing of luck. Both were two entirely two different concepts. In any case, to search for divine grasses in this place, he had to depend wholly on this ‘little luck’.

  On this day, Ning Cheng had just found a Buddhist Shrine Gold Sifting Fruit when he felt a violent spacial fluctuation surge over. His spiritual consciousness quickly swept out, but something blocked it.

  Although the Grand Essence Mystic Realm didn’t directly suppress one’s spiritual consciousness, it did limit its range. Therefore, even with Ning Cheng’s Starry Sky Sea of Consciousness, his spiritual consciousness could only extend to a range of about one to two thousand miles around him.

  However, Ning Cheng also understood that this kind of spacial fluctuation could only originate from a cultivator battle. Something Ning Cheng didn’t want to get involved with right now. However, the slight aura of high-grade divine grasses that rode with the spacial fluctuation immediately changed Ning Cheng’s mind.

  Despite searching everywhere till now, Ning Cheng had not found a single high-grade divine grass. One had to know that some of the high-grade divine grasses carried much higher value than an ordinary dao fruit. Therefore, sensing the faint aura of high-level divine grasses, Ning Cheng immediately decided to have a look at it. What if he saw a large patch of high-level divine grasses? At that time, those things would go to whoever grabbed it first. Nobody would remain polite about it anyway.

  After taking out an appearance-changing mask and changing his appearance into a fierce-looking male cultivator, Ning Cheng quickly moved towards the source of those fluctuations.

  In just about ten breaths, Ning Cheng stopped. Dozens of cultivators appeared within his line of sight. From the looks of it, they were just like Ning Cheng, cultivators rushing over after sensing the spacial fluctuations.

  A certain distance away from Ning Cheng was a huge partially-concealed defensive array formation’s entrance. However, the defensive array formation’s entrance had quite a few cracks on it. Most likely, it originated from the cultivators attacking it. From the looks of it, the spacial fluctuations he sensed wasn’t because of a fight but because of someone attacking the defensive array here.

  By the time Ning Cheng reached this place, the aura of high-grade divine grasses overflowing from behind the entrance had grown more intense. From this, Ning Cheng also understood that there were a lot of high-level divine grasses within this concealed array formation. Ning Cheng felt quite happy at this; moreover, the obscured defensive formation had not yet broken apart. He had arrived just in time.

  “Everyone, keep attacking it together. Although this defensive array formation is strong, it can only last for half-an-incense stick worth of time under continuous attacks.” A male cultivator with a square face took out a weapon before walking towards the defensive array formati
on and speaking up.

  Ning Cheng’s gaze swept over this square-faced male cultivator, and he felt slightly startled. This man was at the late-stage Eternal Realm. However, the powerful aura coming from this square-faced male cultivator felt no worse than the thin man he killed previously. Ning Cheng knew very well that the thin man was nothing more than cannon fodder brought by the Ninth Prince. But he was still a true half-step Dao Sculpting expert.

  Yet, as a late-stage Eternal cultivator, this person’s aura didn’t lose out to a half-step Dao Sculpting expert. From this, Ning Cheng also understood that this person most likely came from a powerful sect.

  “Brother Huo, wait. There’re more and more people coming here. After breaking the array formation, how will we distribute the contents?” A man wearing a snow-white robe stood up and spoke.

  When Ning Cheng saw the white-robed man, his pupils shrank once again.

  Why were there so many experts here?

  This white-robed man’s cultivation didn’t lose out to the square-faced cultivator, meaning that he was also a top-level expert. But what surprised Ning Cheng even more was that this white-robed man was also at the late-stage Eternal Realm.

  High strength with low cultivation meant great potential.

  The square-faced male cultivator nodded when hearing those words and said, “Baiyi[1] is right. There are 34 people here. If they all flock inside, it will become chaotic to separate things…..”

  After the square-faced man surnamed Huo finished speaking, his gaze swept through the other cultivators. Ning Cheng understood what he meant. It’s not that it would become chaotic to separate things, but that with more people, everyone would obtain less.
