The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  The two Spiritual Consciousness had ended up unexpectedly colliding with each other on her abdomen. Just as Xiang Zhilan’s Spiritual Consciousness met Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness at that moment, her body immediately shook slightly, but she instantly understood Ning Cheng’s meaning. Under this situation that Ning Cheng and she really did not know each other, and also the Spiritual Consciousness Tag not being found on her body, then each of them was afraid that it would become mutually awkward for the other party.

  The thought of Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness looking all around her body, immediately made Xiang Zhilan’s face to go weird. Although since the time she was here, she had formed Dao Companions with other people, but it was more for a kind of spiritual sustenance. But now that there was someone using their Spiritual Consciousness to carefully sweep over her body, how could she pretend to not to know?

  She had unconsciously shook her body, moreover there were even a few reactions that made her feel ashamed. At this point, she could only close both her eyes tightly, as she recalled her Spiritual Consciousness. Fortunately, she felt that although Ning Cheng was using his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep her but at least he was well behaved, and had not violated her openly, and was really only trying to search for the Spiritual Consciousness Tag.

  After Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness bumped into Xiang Zhilan’s, it immediately became incomparably awkward and embarrassing for both of them. Initially he did not want to let Xiang Zhilan to know about it, as he believed that he can accomplish this by himself. But in the end he was finally found out, moreover he had even ended up colliding with the Spiritual Consciousness of that person on her own body.

  However, even if that was the case, he did not recall his Spiritual Consciousness back, as this was not a casual matter. If Xiang Zhilan was like Nalan Ruxue, and would have immediately started swearing and accuse him of being a perverted wolf, then Ning Cheng would have rather immediately put her down and escape on his own.

  There was a Profound Core 9th Level Cultivator with a Soul Essence Puppet who was chasing them. If he did not do this, then could he still be able to live out his life?

  Fortunately, Xiang Zhilan recalled her Spiritual Consciousness back. Moreover, did not even say anything, not even a slight humph. Only her skin trembled a bit, however these tremors soon went back to normal.

  Ning Cheng knew that Xiang Zhilan had realized the severity of the situation, and should have tacitly consented to his search.

  Ning Cheng’s guess was right, Xiang Zhilan had truly tacitly consented to let Ning Cheng search her entire body without restraint. In the beginning, she was still feeling ashamed and angry, but she quickly calmed down. She understood that Ning Cheng was not doing anything reprehensible, on the contrary if Ning Cheng had put this forward initially, then she would have definitely not agreed to it and it would even lead to more embarrassment between them.

  Now that she found out what Ning Cheng wanted to do, she would absolutely not nose in with her Spiritual Consciousness, this kind of thing it would be better if she did not know, rather pretending to not know it would be the best in such a situation. She would not be shy and pass it up, moreover what she was even more horrified was that Ning Cheng’s cultivation absolutely did not seem high at all. As such when he used his Spiritual Consciousness to examine her body, she unexpectedly was not even able to perceive it in the slightest. If she had not used her own Spiritual Consciousness to sweep at the same spot, then she absolutely would not have sensed Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness.

  After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness concentrated onto the inside of the left ear of Xiang Zhilan. The Spiritual Consciousness Tag was placed under the skin, and was extremely vague. Taking Xiang Zhilan’s cultivation and Feng Yushan’s alertness from before, for Feng Yushan to place the Spiritual Consciousness Tag in such a place can even be considered as normal.

  He knew it early on that the Spiritual Consciousness Tag would definitely be placed in hard to find spots. As such Ning Cheng would definitely not scan every nook and cranny from the top to the bottom of Xiang Zhilan’s body only to make everyone embarrassed.

  Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness was really formidable, since he had already found the Spiritual Consciousness Tag on Xiang Zhilan’s body, his Spiritual Consciousness directly enveloped the Spiritual Consciousness Tag on Xiang Zhilan. Bringing out a jade bottle, he carefully extracted Spiritual Consciousness Tag, placing it into the jade bottle, before sealing it and throwing it away.

  As Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness wrapped up and extracted the Spiritual Consciousness Tag, Xiang Zhilan was able to clearly perceived all of this in her mind, and let out a sigh. He had finally found it, otherwise given enough time, that Feng Yushan would have surely have been able to catch up with the three of them.

  After removing the Spiritual Consciousness Tag from Xiang Zhilan’s body, Ning Cheng did not continue on to search Yan Ji’s body. After flying for a bit more time, he determined that Feng Yushan was not able to continue to track them. Out of the two of them, he understood that Yan Ji’s body truly did not have a Spiritual Consciousness Tag on her, as such he basically did not have to search for it.

  Yan Ji had still not sobered up from her fantasies, and was still immersed in her original foolish ideas, as such she did not think much of it at all. But once she finally returned to her senses, she immediately thought about the Spiritual Consciousness Tag.

  “Aah, I remember, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I and Senior Apprentice Sister Lan might have a Spiritual Consciousness Tag on us. If there really is one on us and we continued on like this, then wouldn’t Feng Yushan catch up to us?”

  “No, you do not have any Spiritual Consciousness Tags on you, that Feng Yushan should also not be able to catch up to us.” Ning Cheng immediately replied.

  After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Yan Ji did not respond, but Xiang Zhilan had already perceived the meaning of the words. She was certain that Ning Cheng had also similarly looked over Yan Ji’s body, Yan Ji’s cultivation was already lower than her own, as such she absolutely would not be aware of what Ning Cheng had done. Thinking of Yan Ji’s attitude towards Ning Cheng, even if she knew about it she wouldn’t think that what Ning Cheng had done something wrong. Since they could not leave this place in any case, and also since Yan Ji seem to be wanting to stay together with Ning Cheng till the end. As such using his Spiritual Consciousness to examine her body would also mean nothing much.

  “How do you know?” Yan Ji doubtfully asked.

  Xiang Zhilan did not want to let Yan Ji feel embarrassed and quickly spoke up, “The Spiritual Consciousness Tag on my body has already been found and even removed, it’s just that you were not paying attention at that time.”

  Yan Ji once again thought back to the fanciful thoughts she was thinking, looking back at it once more, there were a few things that she should not have thought of, which immediately made her blush, as she hastily changed the subject and asked, “Where should we go now?”

  Ning Cheng brought out a flight type magic weapon, “First let us come on board, and go look for a place, and then think of a way out of this place. This place is somewhere out of my calculations, as such I will have to go look for some similar markers.”

  “Get out of here?” Yan Ji and Xiang Zhilan almost simultaneously cried out in amazement.

  Ning Cheng nodded and spoke, “That’s right, we can get out of this place. Although I am still yet to fully grasp this Array Formation, but I should be able to find the exit, it’s just that I would not only require roughly a million or so High Grade Spirit Stones, but would also require a Best Quality Spirit Stone to open the Array Door.”

  Originally the two of them had merely suspected Ning Cheng’s words that he spoke a moment ago, but when it came to the part when Ning Cheng said that he also needed a Best Quality Spirit Stone to open the Array Door, the two people had almost completely lost th
eir minds. If Best Quality Spirit Stones were so easily available, then they would not have been called as Best Quality Spirit Stones.

  “This place is also just another large swath of sand like any other place in here, what have we come to do here?” Xiang Zhilan and Yan Ji were puzzlingly looking at the same black sands that were devoid of any movement in front of them, they could not understand what Ning Cheng had come to do here.

  “When I was still trying to deduce this Array Formation, although I was able to find a way to open it, but I had still not yet completely figured out this Array Formation. To open this Array Formation, we will need to put down a huge array consisting of Communication Array Flags, during the past few years I have already arranged these Array Flags in quite a few chosen locations, now all that is left is produce the required Spirit Stones as an offering at the heart of the Array. According to my deductions, this place here should be the heart of the Array.” Ning Cheng explained.

  “Do you really know of a way to get out of this Array Formation?” Xiang Zhilan really did not dare to believe those words as she looked at Ning Cheng, not to mention it was already impossible to obtain a Best Quality Spirit Stone in here, even if they were able to obtain a Best Quality Spirit Stone, Xiang Zhilan would definitely not believe that Ning Cheng could break the Array.

  They already did not dare to imagine how many cultivators were and had been trapped in this place at the bottom of the Blood River since the start of its history, as such it wouldn’t come as a surprise if one of them turned out to be a genius in the field of Array Formations. But they have never heard of any person that was able to get out of this place, let alone seeing a person that was able to break open this Array Formation.

  Ning Cheng did not speak again. Rather than explaining it to them, it would be better if he did it by himself. He took out more than a dozen Array Flags and threw them out in a particular order, then spread out a few Spirit Stones around them so as to provide a Spiritual Source for the flags. After waiting for a few breaths, a black coloured irregular looking gate suddenly emerged out of thin air in front of the three of them.

  “There was actually a hidden gate here?” Xiang Zhilan cried out in a frightened voice, while in her heart she was starting to doubt her own thoughts about whether or not Ning Cheng could really take them out of here.

  “This gate will only be open for at most ten breaths of time, we should hurry up and go inside.” During speaking, Ning Cheng had already taken a step forward and was the first one to enter the gate.

  Yan Ji and Xiang Zhilan on seeing this immediately followed behind.

  When the three people finally came out of the gate and saw the scene in front of them, all three of them immediately froze.

  All three of them had entered the Blood River Mountains and had eventually fallen to the bottom of the Blood River. The Spiritual Qi at the bottom of the Blood River was not just scarce, but rather it did not even have a single speck of Spiritual Qi. Although this place had a similarly long Blood River in front of them, but on the contrary, the Spiritual Qi present here was extremely rich and thick.

  This Blood River in front of them was snaking away far into the distance, and one could simply not see its end at all. This river was also flowing out just like the Blood Rivers from the Blood River Mountains, the only difference was that the waters were completely smooth as they flowed without even single ripple. What was even more surprising was that this Blood River actually seemed to be flowing in an extremely huge circle, so much so that one could not even see the opposite side of this huge circle.

  But this Blood River was actually not too wide. As they stood at the side of the Blood River, they could see that the width of this Blood River was not more than three feet. Within this huge circle created by this Blood River, was another similarly large swath of black sands. But in the middle of this large swath of black sand, was a huge skeleton. Moreover, there was a huge golden coloured talisman suspended on top of the skull.

  “Such a huge talisman….” Yan Ji spoke out in amazement.

  Ning Cheng also had never seen such a huge Talisman, this Talisman was truly huge with a radius of several dozen feet. Moreover, it was exuding an extremely mysterious yet frightening aura, if not for it being blocked by the Blood River, then even they would not be able to hold up against this kind aura for even a single moment.

  “Why do I feel that this Blood River is actually acting as a Restrictive Array Formation around it?” Xiang Zhilan suddenly spoke up after a long time.

  “Your eyes really are good, this Blood River is certainly acting as a Restriction, moreover not only is this Blood River acting as a Restriction, even the Blood River Mountains outside can also be considered as a part of this Restriction. Moreover, those Blood River Peaks on the Blood River Mountains are also part of the Restrictive Array Formation. But this Restriction actually seems to be a Natural Restrictive Array Formation that actually came into existence in order to keep that Talisman trapped in here.” Ning Cheng spoke in a solemn tone, he had been inferring and deducing Array Formations in equivalence of several decades, as such his insights and level of understanding towards Array Formations was far from being comparable to that of Xiang Zhilan.

  “There seems to be a word written on the Talisman.” Yan Ji had noticed it and immediately spoke up.

  Xiang Zhilan nodded and spoke, “Yes, it says ‘Heaven Opening’ using the two characters, ‘Heaven’ and ‘Open’ to form the word.”

  Ning Cheng spoke, “I just used my Spiritual Consciousness to try and probe it, but although we are able to see it across the river, but my Spiritual Consciousness is unable to get across this Blood River. We should not even think of trying to cross this river, otherwise we all will absolutely be swept away by this Blood River. Whether or not that skeleton and Talisman are a good thing, I don’t know, but since we cannot get close to it, then it would be better to quickly get down to what we have come here for.”

  Saying that Ning Cheng had already taken out a Best Quality Spirit Stone. “Fortunately, I happened to have come across a Best Quality Spirit Stone, with regards to High Grade Spirit Stones, you also do not need to worry about it.”

  “Can you really get us out?” Yan Ji originally did not have any plans of exiting this place, now hearing Ning Cheng not only say that he could get them out, moreover had even come up with a Best Quality Spirit Stone, she was completely bewildered and asked him in a daze.

  Ning Cheng just gave an ‘En’ sound and spoke, “I suppose that this entire Array Formation, and even the entire Blood River Mountains outside were actually something created by this Talisman, which resulted in the Spiritual Qi from the outside to be absorbed and transported to this place. As such, getting out of this Array Formation is actually very simple, just find the Array Heart, and then offer a Spiritual Sacrifice to the river, this is what makes it somewhat different from other ordinary Array Formations.”

  “How do you know that you can open this Array in such a manner?” Xiang Zhilan blurted out, she had come from an 8 Star Academy, and the Academy also had many divisions, but she had never heard of an approach of using spiritual sacrifice as a means to break open an Array.

  Ning Cheng had to say it, “It is something that I slowly was able to deduce, before when I was outside I had scattered a lot of Array Flags, it was only in order to open that gate and locate this place. Only when we arrived in here, can we continue with the Spiritual Sacrifice. If you end up getting trapped in that place the next time, then as long as you have sufficient Spirit Stones you would soon be able to get out. Moreover, the Spiritual Sacrifice is not to break open this Array, it is just to provide Spiritual Qi to the Blood River, so that it could actively transfer us out of thi
s place.”

  Yan Ji glanced at Ning Cheng, but did not speak. She and Ning Cheng had not been together for a long time, but she simply couldn’t stop herself from admiring and appreciating Ning Cheng. If she and Ning Cheng really ended up being trapped in this place together, then it would not really be unbearable to carry on. But once they got out, she and Ning Cheng would most likely end up only being as good friends.

  Yan Ji did not speak, but that did not mean that Xiang Zhilan was not considering such things. If Ning Cheng really was able to take them out of this place, then there would definitely be a few things that she would have to help her clear out.

  Before she used to think that they would not be able to get out of this place, as such she did not think much about the matter of Ning Cheng searching Yan Ji’s body. But if they were able to get out of this place, then Yan Ji’s body being glanced at by an outsider, would definitely not be a small matter. With Yan Ji’s appearance and qualifications, after she steps into Profound Core Realm, there would certainly be lots of geniuses who would come to the Blue Cloud Academy to propose a marriage with her.

  She could already tell that Yan Ji had a crush on Ning Cheng, but she also knew that no matter how much she liked Ning Cheng, even if she lost all her restraint, she would not be able to muster up the courage to ask Ning Cheng out to talk about anything. If Ning Chang had not seen Yan Ji’s body then it was not a problem, although Ning Cheng was quite good, but Yan Ji’s prospects were a lot brighter. It could even be said that it was Ning Cheng who ended up gaining a profit, while Yan Ji was still unaware of it. As for her own body being looked at by him, anyways once she got out, she would put her entire mind and heart into practicing cultivation over anything else.

  Thinking till here, Xiang Zhilan directly opened her mouth and asked away, “Junior Apprentice Brother Ning, are you a rogue cultivator?”
