The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Ning Cheng on hearing those words immediately understood what the matter was; he stood up, cupped his fists towards Na Xinlan, and spoke “Many thanks for all the help provided by Senior Na, I guess I will be dealing with this matter by myself in the future.”

  Na Xinlan separated two boxes, placed them in front of Ning Cheng, and spoke, “Out of the four boxes that I will keep two of them for the Dean, these two can be kept with you. In the future, it can then be used as evidence.”

  Saying until here, Na Xinlan hesitated for a moment before continuing, “I had intended to invite you to spend some time in the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, but now it doesn’t look like a good idea. The Gui Clan already knows that you came to the Dragon and Phoenix Academy; however, Gui Zong is not in the Gui Yuan City. I suggest that you leave as early as possible, and come back in the future when you have sufficient strength.”

  Seeing Na Xinlan’s desolate look, how could Ning Cheng not know as to what might have transpired? Dragon and Phoenix Academy was definitely wary of the Gui Clan. Although the Gui Clan plotted against Na Xinlan’s own disciple, they could only choose to show their disgust towards the Gui Clan. If he wanted to exterminate the Gui Clan, he would have to rely on himself.

  At the same time, Na Xinlan was also persuading him to leave as early as possible; it was because she knew that the news of her entering the Dragon and Phoenix Academy along with him would soon leak out.

  Ning Cheng secretly gave out a sigh,

  if one wanted revenge, then they would have to rely on their own fist eventually.

  Last time, he had schemed for a long time in the Tian Continent, yet the Severing Emotions Dao Sect still existed. From this, it was apparent that one’s personal strength was the most fundamental requirement.

  “Before leaving, I want to ask Senior, what is this ‘locking the soul to draw out hope’?” Ning Cheng put away the two boxes and asked.

  Na Xinlan also did not choose to conceal it from Ning Cheng and spoke, “I also didn’t know about it until I went to a mystical place with people from the Gui Clan. It was there that we found that the Power of Hope was present in everyone. This ‘Power of Hope’ can also grow under certain circumstances, to the point that it could even take its own form. However, harvesting this Power of Hope is extremely difficult, I heard that it was possible to collect Power of Hope by burning joss sticks; however, whether it can be done or not in this manner, I’m not too clear about it.”

  “At that time, we also saw another way to collect the Power of Hope from a sacrificial altar. Apart from me, there was also Gui Clan’s Gui Feng and Di Xuanqing from the Thoughtless Academy who had managed to see it. It detailed the method of locking the soul of an unmatured woman, before using an inscribed Array Formation to extract the Power of Hope. This would cause the Power of Hope to adhere to the woman’s undergarment, allowing for reuse elsewhere. Moreover, the Power of Hope extracted from virgins would be the most powerful type, at the same time, this method of collecting the Power of Hope did not need any burning of joss sticks.”

  “However, this method is also extremely vicious and evil, as it would cause the soul of the virgin from which it was extracted from to fly out before the soul ultimately disperses, to the point that it would not even leave behind some Essence Blood. All three of us agreed that it was simply too vicious. Moreover, none of us knew as to what kind of uses did this Power of Hope had. So all of us chose to destroy every hint of this kind of method, at the same time reached an agreement not to reveal this kind of a thing. I did not expect that Gui Yuhai from the Gui Clan would actually use it. Obviously, Gui Feng did not adhere to the promise.”

  Ning Cheng in hearing these words immediately came to understand that this mystical place was most probably also the place where the Gui Clan had obtained the True Brahma Sword, especially since Gui Yuhai already knew that this kind of object actually needed the Power of Hope to actuate. However, Gui Yuhai did not possess any Power of Hope with him. As a result, Gui Feng chose to hand down such an evil and vicious approach to him.

  “Many thanks, Senior Na; this junior will now be taking his leave.” Ning Cheng thanked Na Xinlan once again, before helping Ning Ruolan up and quickly leaving the place.

  “Master, if Senior Apprentice Brother Ning stayed back at the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, who would even dare to lay their hands on him?” Jia Lingwei asked in doubt.

  Na Xinlan shook her head but did not directly respond to Jia Lingwei’s words and spoke, “Lingwei, you better get ready, once you advance to the Soul Essence Realm, we will immediately depart for the Tian Continent.”

  ……

  “Big Brother, this flight type magical weapon seems to be a lot faster than the previous one.” Ning Ruolan could feel that this airship was much faster and immediately spoke out.

  Ning Cheng spoke with a smile, “Of course, this is a Low-Grade True Artefact Airship. Its speed certainly cannot be compared to a Spiritual Artefact Airship.”

  Ning Cheng had obtained this Low-Grade True Artefact Airship from the hands of Qi Le. Qi Le was himself a Crucible Transformation 7th Level Cultivator, so how could a flight type magical weapon obtained from a Crucible Transformation Cultivator of his level be inferior.

  “So where are we going now?” Ning Ruolan knew that a True Artefact was a rank higher than a Spiritual Artefact, but because she had just arrived at the Yi Xing Mainland, she had yet to develop her intuitive concepts.

  “We’ll first be going to the Angry Axe Valley to take a look, if I cannot find what I want, we will be returning to the Ping Continent.” Ning Cheng said.

  The reason why he wanted to go to the Angry Axe Valley was that he wished to search for the underlying cause of the previous accident in the Angry Axe Valley. If he could go in, then with the map given to him by Meng Jingxiu, he also wanted to go look if he could find that Immortal Mansion. If he could locate the Immortal Mansion, then he would not have to worry about cultivation resources anymore. It would also not matter to him much if he could not find the Immortal Mansion, just costing him a bit of extra time. He anyways could always return to the Ping Continent by passing through the Jia Continent’s entrance of the Angry Axe Valley.

  “En, wherever Big Brother goes is where I will also be going.” Ning Ruolan declared. Regardless of if it was the Earth or the Yi Xing Mainland, her big brother was her only family.

  After Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment, he then decided to speak up, “Ruolan, I want to tell you something, don’t be nervous, and don’t panic…..”

  “Big brother, you can go ahead and say whatever you want, how could I become anxious?” Ning Ruolan immediately cut her big brother off, with her big brother and her in the same place, what else was worth for her to get anxious about?

  “Actually, I arrived at the Yi Xing Mainland because of a bead…..”

  After Ning Cheng spoke about his transmigration into the body of his predecessor, Ning Ruolan couldn’t help but open her mouth in shock. She just could not even utter a single word. What could be any more shocking than this? If she had not followed Ning Cheng to come to the Yi Xing Mainland, and her big brother had spoken about it before, then she really might have not believed it at all. Although she was confident that Ning Cheng was definitely her big brother, such a matter like transmigration of the soul was just too outrageous to her.

  “Big Brother, Is what you said really true?”

  “It is the truth.”

  “Huff…..” Ning Ruolan immediately gasped for breath, as she held onto Ning Cheng’s arm and started crying, “That Tian Muwan really had not done anything then, I had always thought that she was the reason big brother had disappeared.”

  Ning Ruolan already possessed the cultivation of Qi Gathering 5h Level, if it were before when she did not have any cultivation to speak of, she would have definitely not believed the words spoken by Ning Cheng. Now, she realised that this kind of matter was quite reasonable.

  Feeling that Ruolan still had the same attachmen
t to him, Ning Cheng was feeling genuinely fortunate in his heart. He was even thanking his lucky stars that he was able to meet his little sister; otherwise, his little sister would have been lonely, being all alone on Earth.

  After a while, Ning Ruolan suddenly thought of something and spoke up, “Big Brother, if Sister-in-law Luofei is in the Ping Continent, how are we going to introduce our relationship?”

  Ning Cheng just wanted to say that Luofei should not be on the Ping Continent when he immediately reeled in his words from the tip of his tongue. He immediately recalled Shi Qionghua. The matters relating to Shi Qionghua, Ning Cheng still had not shared with his little sister, how was Ning Cheng going to approach it? Could he mention to Ruolan that she had another sister-in-law by the name of Shi Qionghua?

  Ning Cheng thought that he should not mention this matter to Ruolan for now, in the future, when she sees Qionghua, Ruolan might not object to it.

  ……

  In the past, Ning Cheng would have required 1-2 months to travel from Le Continent to the Jia Continent, that too, taking the route through the Yi Xing Ocean. However, currently, Ning Cheng did not choose the Yi Xing Ocean’s path but directly passed over the continents. With the speed of the flight type Low-Grade True Artefact, it took only half a month to reach the entrance of the Angry Axe Valley in the Jia Continent.

  Although he had to pass through the vast deserts and marshes along the way, with Ning Cheng’s flight type Low-Grade True Artefact, ordinary monstrous beasts capable of flight were not able to catch up to them. Occasionally, they would encounter a few faster creatures, but Ning Cheng could easily massacre them.

  As soon as Ning Cheng reached the Angry Axe Valley, he knew that the Array Formation and Restrictions, placed down by the powerhouses from the past, around the Angry Axe Valley were now useless. At this time, the entrance still appeared shrouded by a white fog, but it did not give out any thundering sounds like before. There was even a building right next to it from where cultivators were coming and going.

  After Ning Ruolan entered the Miniature World Ring, Ning Cheng then arrived at the entrance. He had not yet reached the building when a not-too-big Transmission Array appeared in his Spiritual Consciousness. A yellow-robed cultivator in the Essence Building Realm stood right next to Transmission Array.

  “Is this Transmission Array leading to the Angry Axe Valley?” Ning Cheng arrived in front of the cultivator and asked.

  “There is a circular on that side; you can look at it by yourself.” In the face of Ning Cheng’s query, the cultivator responsible for the Transmission Array pointed towards a circular posted at a distance.

  Ning Cheng looked at the circular, which stated ‘Any cultivator that wishes to enter the Angry Axe Valley need to pay 50,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones. To be sent out would also require 50,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones.’ Moreover, Ning Cheng also noted that at this time, the Angry Axe Valley did not have any cultivation limit, in other words, anyone can go in as long as one could afford it.

  “Excuse me; is this the only Transmission Array, in the Jia Continent, leading to the Angry Axe Valley?” Ning Cheng asked after reading through the circular.

  The male cultivator managing the Transmission Array looked at Ning Cheng as if he had lost his mind. However, he still restrained his temper and spoke, “Of course not, there are a total of two. However, other than this one, the other one is located in the Nan Continent.”

  “So, if one wants to go from the Jia Continent to the Nan Continent, can they transfer from here to the Angry Axe Valley, and then chose to transfer from inside the Angry Axe Valley to the other Transmission Array on the outside?” Ning Cheng knew that travelling to an Intermediate Level Continent from an Advance Level Continent, although might be very difficult for others, was very easy for him. That was because not only did he currently have high cultivation, but at the same time, he also possessed a flight type Low-Grade True Artefact.

  The male cultivator responsible for the Transmission Array was finally unable to reign in his patience as he sneered and spoke, “You can give it a try if you want to go to the Nan Continent.”

  Not to mention that the distance between the Transmission Arrays of the Jia Continent and the Nan Continent inside longer compared to outside, the monstrous beasts in the Angry Axe Valley were also a lot stronger than the outside. Let alone that, it even was tough to use flight type magical weapons inside the Angry Axe Valley.

  Ning Cheng did not ask any more questions, and just handed over 50,000 Spirit Stones and entered the Angry Axe Valley.

  Coming out from the Transmission Array on the inside of the Angry Axe Valley, Ning Cheng finally realised that the interior was much livelier than the outside. A few people even had established some simple shops on the edges of the Transmission Array. Many cultivators could be seen coming and going every moment. By the looks of it, the Angry Axe Valley seemed to have transformed into a mystical place open for public.

  However, most of the cultivators here did not have high cultivation. Therefore, Ning Cheng, with his cultivation of 5th Level of Soul Sculpting Realm, seemed to be a top-level expert in this place.

  Using a flight type Magical Weapon to move around in the Angry Axe Valley was truly difficult, but to Ning Cheng, he did not need to rely on any flight type Magical Weapons. Not only were his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds extremely fast, at the same time, it also provided him with a higher level of flexibility compared to other flight type Magical Weapons. Moreover, the map Meng Jingxiu had given him was very detailed; coupled with the speed of the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds; Ning Cheng only had to spend around three days of time before he directly reached the location marked on Meng Jingxiu’s map.

  The location marked on Meng Jingxiu’s map was in the middle of a seemingly endless forest. According to the annotations on the map, there were many lakes within the woods, and he just had to find a cross-shaped lake among them. To reach this cross-shaped lake, he would have to move according to the natural wind directions. Sometime during the day, the trees would start swaying in a particular direction, as long as he followed this direction, he would undoubtedly be able to find that cross-shaped lake.

  After Ning Cheng entered the woods, he waited and observed the surrounding for one full day. As the day passed by, not to mention sensing the direction of the swaying of the trees, he was not able to perceive even the slightest wind.

  Ning Cheng did not continue to wait in that location stupidly; his Spiritual Consciousness was already extremely powerful compared to ordinary cultivators. As such, in this place, he did not have to depend on the trees to find the direction, as he could search for the cross-shaped lake by himself.

  This stretch of woods was indeed very huge, with a radius of nearly ten thousand miles. Even if that was the case, on the fourth day, Ning Cheng was finally able to find the cross-shaped lake.

  The cross-shaped lake was much larger than what Ning Cheng had imagined, and was made of two intersecting oblong lakes; moreover, the centre of this criss-crossing lake itself was nearly twenty or thirty miles wide.

  According to what the map mentioned, the Immortal Mansion was located right in the centre of the lake at its bottom. In that place, there would be a ten feet large protruding boulder, once you stood atop this boulder, you would then be able to sense the Immortal Mansion. As to how to enter the Immortal Mansion, or how to obtain the Immortal Mansion for one’s self, the map did not mention it.

  Up until arriving at the bottom of the lake, Meng Jingxiu had noted down everything correctly on the map, which caused Ning Cheng to become slightly excited in his heart.

  However, when Ning Cheng finally stood at the bottom of the lake, he couldn’t help
but feel a bit of disappointment. He just was not able to see the ten feet high boulder as mentioned on the map. This lake only had sand on its lakebed. As for sensing the Immortal Mansion by standing on top of the rock, how could he do that if he could not even find the stone?

  Ning Cheng carefully observed the surroundings with his Spiritual Consciousness and was quickly able to discover a Concealment Array Formation. Moreover, the level of the Array Formation was also not low; it was actually a Rank 7 Array Formation. If his proficiency in Array Formations had not already reached that degree, then even if he came here and searched carefully, he would not be able to find this at all.

  As Ning Cheng threw out a few Array Flags, the Concealment Array Formation quickly revealed itself. At this point, Ning Cheng was able to make it out clearly, that this was definitely not a carefully arranged Array Formation, but something deployed from an Array Disc. This Concealment Array Disc can instantly conceal something within it, once used. If one were not proficient in Array Formations, they would not be able to even locate it.

  Once opened, Ning Cheng found a storage bag placed at the centre of the Concealment Array Disc, allowing Ning Cheng to understand at a glance that someone had left this behind intentionally. Moreover, from the looks of it, it also had been quite long since the deployment of the Array Disc. It also caused Ning Cheng to realise that even if he came here before, someone had already arrived before him to take away the Immortal Mansion.
