The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Even if his body arrived at the brink of collapse, he must absorb this Thunder Source. At this moment, only by incorporating that Thunder Source, would he be able to increase his cultivation, allowing him to once again grasp the opportunity to advance to the Sea Opening Realm. Otherwise, once his corporeal body collapsed under the impacts from the energy of the two crystal stones, he would definitely be finished. It was not just a matter of his physical body collapsing but actually involved his small, pitiful life.

  The spiritual power he absorbed from the two crystal stones was akin to overturned oceans, which were cooperating with an endless Thunder Source to affect the Sea Opening Realm’s cultivation barrier.

  “Bang…..” The cultivation barrier was already heavily cracked, but under this kind of repeated impacts, it finally blew open. It was like a brand new door that appeared in front of Ning Cheng.

  Formidable strength penetrated his entire body, causing the spiritual power flowing throughout his meridians to suddenly explode, turning into True Essence for his cultivation in just an instant.

  The Thunder Tribulation in the sky continued, but Ning Cheng knew that he now did not have to fear this Thunder Tribulation. Therefore, he did not even move to dodge it, while at the same time crazily absorbed the remnant energies from the crystal stones to consolidate his own cultivation. At the same time, he also crazily incorporated the Thunder Source to grow his Thunder Spiritual Root.

  If there were anyone who could afford to feel the ecstasy of cultivation while crossing his or her tribulation, then it would definitely be Ning Cheng. Currently, although the Tribulation Thunder Arcs were exploding on his body, he was still continually absorbing massive amounts of Spiritual Qi, and the Thunder Source contained in it, to improve and solidify his cultivation. Even the Mysterious Yellow Origin was fully active at this moment, filling up the meridians in Ning Cheng’s body while Ning Cheng continually operated his Cultivation Method to improve upon his cultivation.

  Although, he had a completely broken down corporeal body before; however, it was healing with speed visible to the naked eye. Although his body currently looked scary, it was just a layer of bloody froth covering it, giving him an extremely injured look.

  Not knowing how long this state lasted for, the two crystal stones had now completely turned into powder. Ning Cheng also suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, the Thunder Tribulation had already vanished without even a trace left behind. However, the hundreds of square meters of the area around him had turned to nihility while he was crossing his tribulation.

  Feeling the formidable strength coursing through his body, Ning Cheng finally was not able to bear it and shouted out in joy. He finally had the qualifications to contend against Crucible Transformation Cultivators. He had finally completed crossing his tribulation; at the same time, he was already at the peak of 1st Level of Sea Opening Realm.

  “Who?” Ning Cheng suddenly paused as he stared deep into the Daan Forest.

  “Crossing a puny tribulation, yet making others feel that you seem to have broken through the shackles of the universe. This is the first time that I saw such a boring person.” A voice transmitted over along with the ringing of a bell. The next moment, a scarlet-robe wearing young girl appeared in front of Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng’s heart immediately tightened, this young girl gave the impression that her age was definitely not low. However, she had a porcelain doll-like face, which made others feel that she was definitely not old at all.

  Not only did she have a porcelain doll-like face, but her skin was also completely smooth and white. As if a touch could disintegrate it. She had a pair of large and bright eyes, as she tightly stared at Ning Cheng, sizing him up from top to bottom.

  Ning Cheng only then discovered that the rampage from the Thunder Tribulation and the spiritual power from the two crystal stones ended up shredding all his clothes. Currently, he looked as if rags were the only thing covering him, just like the loose clothes on a beggar’s body.

  Ning Cheng knew that he should clean himself and change into a set of clean clothes, but he did not dare to do such a thing right now. The scarlet-robed young girl, who looked like a porcelain doll, was giving him a very dangerous feeling. He even suspected that he was not her opponent.

  “I want to change my clothes, can you look the other way.” Ning Cheng stared at this scarlet-robed young girl and spoke out quietly. However, he did not feel any shyness. Not to mention that he still had some rags covering him, even if he not covered at all, there was nothing for him to feel shy about.

  In the face of his intuition that was screaming to him that she was a very dangerous woman, Ning Cheng did not dare to do anything reckless. He was even prepared to bring out all of his 36 Cosmic True Devil Axes in a moment.

  “Is Daan Forest your home? Even if I wanted to look at you, would your changing clothes have any impact on me?” The scarlet-robed young girl carelessly spoke from the side. While at the same time, her eyes roamed around over Ning Cheng’s body.

  Ning Cheng slowly moved back. However, he soon found that no matter how far he retreated, this woman would always move forward the same distance; at the same time, this woman gave him a somewhat different feeling that she meant no harm.

  Ning Cheng swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness. He guessed that if this young girl wanted to attack him, then it would definitely be when he started to dress. As such, he wished to take advantage of the terrain to escape first.

  “Luofei……” Ning Cheng was shocked, how did Luofei come here? After he swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness, Ning Cheng immediately spotted Luofei. Ning Cheng did not choose to keep an eye on this young girl when he suddenly rushed to the front of Luofei.

  Luofei’s cultivation was too weak. He could not let that scarlet-robed young girl bring even half an injury to Luofei.

  “So it was true, Wu Wu….” Ji Luofei on seeing Ning Cheng covered in blood and clothed in rags that barely covered his body, could not help but cry out after embracing Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng felt his heart clench, he speculated that this had something to do with the scarlet-robed young girl. However, he actually discovered that scarlet-robed young girl had disappeared from the range of his Spiritual Consciousness. Where did that scarlet-robed young girl go?

  Ning Cheng quickly asked, “How did you come here?”

  “A scarlet-robed young girl forcibly brought me here and said that you were fighting with someone and that it looked hazardous. Even your clothes are gone, it made me feel incredibly anxious, it……” Ji Luofei spoke while at the same time took out a white towel and started wiping off the blood from Ning Cheng’s body.

  “Huh…..” After Ji Luofei wiped off some of the blood, she immediately stared at him in a somewhat stupid manner. Although Ning Cheng looked heavily injured, with a thick layer of semi-dried blood covering his entire body, after she rubbed some of it off, she found that the skin beneath was smooth and healthy.

  Ning Cheng quickly spoke up, “I was just crossing my tribulation here, not fighting against anyone. That person lied to you. Let me change into a fresh set of clothes first.”

  Finished speaking, Ning Cheng quickly moved to find a water source to wash the dirt and grime off himself. Quickly cleaning up the blood and grime covering his body, he then changed into a set of clean robes.

  Ji Luofei, who was looking at him from the side, could also feel that there was something wrong. It seems like she was undoubtedly deceived.

  After Ning Cheng changed into a set of clean clothes, he instantly felt a lot more refreshed as he hugged Ji Luofei, “Don’t trust others this easily next time. We don’t know what that young girl intended with that kind of acti
ons, if she had any evil intentions, then it could easily be guessed that you are all in danger.”

  Ning Cheng wrapped his arms around Ji Luofei while still somewhat scared in his heart. Not to mention if he could even match against that young girl; if that young girl used Luofei to blackmail him, what could he do?

  Fortunately, Luofei remained untouched. However, he did not understand why that young girl did such a thing.

  “Ning Cheng…” Ji Luofei kept hugging Ning Cheng. Thinking back to Ning Cheng’s appearance from a moment before, her expression turned a lot gentler.

  Ning Cheng, on sensing the tender feelings in Ji Luofei’s eyes, couldn’t bear to not kiss her. Ji Luofei’s entire body turned weak as if she wanted to melt into Ning Cheng’s bosom. She had shared a kiss with Ning Cheng before, but it was not the same as this time. The two of them naturally found it difficult to separate themselves from each other at this moment.

  Ji Luofei could feel Ning Cheng’s emotions turn fiery. She was about to speak out, when a voice suddenly interrupted them, “Hehe, you really are someone who does not know what ‘shy’ means aah, the two of you being so intimate with each other outside, under broad daylight, doing such bold things……”

  Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness immediately swept out but was only able to see a red shadow quickly disappearing over the horizon.

  Ji Luofei immediately sobered up from that initial fiery tenderness that she felt. Although she felt shy about it, she couldn’t help but speak out in anxiety, “Does that young girl want to deal with Ruolan?”

  “No, with her cultivation, if she wanted to deal with someone like Ruolan, then she would not need to show such superfluous movements, not to mention spewing such words to bring you here. However, it would be better if we head back quickly.” Although he felt that she wouldn’t create problems with Ruolan’s group of people, Ning Cheng still harboured some worries about this mysterious young girl who was able to appear and disappear at will.

  “Do we go back and get married?” Ji Luofei’s face contained a rosy flush; she could feel Ning Cheng’s lingering thoughts.

  Ning Cheng gently picked up Ji Luofei, then activating the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, quickly rushed out of the Daan Forest. After hearing those words from Ji Luofei, he once again lowered his head to kiss Luofei in his arms, “En. However, before we do that, I have one more thing to tell you…..”

  After successfully advancing to the Sea Opening Realm, Ning Cheng started to think about how he should break the subject about Shi Qionghua to Ji Luofei. He thought it would be the best if he could marry the two of them together.

  After all, he and Ji Luofei were fiancés to each other. Therefore, he did not know if Ji Luofei would become angry because of this matter. If Luofei really became mad because of it, then he really did not know how he should proceed from there.

  “I will listen to you.” Ji Luofei gave an ‘En’ sound followed by a few words and no longer spoke. She was currently feeling wholly safe and utterly content. Other than this moment, she felt that there was nothing else worth remembering.

  When it was time for them to leave the Ping Continent, she had planned to ask Ning Cheng to take her to the depths of the Daan Forest to search for her father’s remains, along with the place where her father had perished in the Daan Forest. Whether or not the two of them could find anything, she wanted to hold a memorial service for her father. After that, she would leave together with Ning Cheng and would go to any place that he took her.

  ……

  Back in their own residence, the Nan Yuefang trio still was in secluded cultivations. The scarlet-robed young girl had also not shown herself again, it seemed as if nothing out of the ordinary happened at all.

  Ning Cheng, on seeing that his Array Formation remained untouched, knew that this scarlet-robed young girl was not simple at all. The Array Formation that he had set up was an actual Rank 6 Defensive Array Formation; to be able to enter and exit this kind Array Formation at will showed that the opponent’s strength was definitely not ordinary. However, from this young girl’s movements, Ning Cheng could tell that she really did not mean any harm to him; as such, Ning Cheng also did not take it to heart.

  After advancing to the 1st Level of Sea Opening Realm, Ning Cheng did not immediately leave to massacre those two Profound Core Cultivators, nor did he go to the Cang Qin Academy to rescue those women put under that restriction.

  He was in no hurry to accomplish these things in the present moment, which was because he still had the Spiritual Technique Jade Strip. At this time, with advancing to the 1st Level of the Sea Opening Realm, he wanted to explore the Spiritual Technique in the jade strip given to him by Elder Brother Cang Wei.

  After Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness swept into the jade strip containing the Spiritual Technique, he discovered that there was not even a single character inside of this jade strip. While Ning Cheng was pondering in doubt, a vast intent suddenly poured into Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness.

  “… Point towards the timber, the fire spreads, not knowing its ends or its limits. Once out, its wrath not slower than lightning flash……”

  A passage appeared in Ning Cheng’s mind; Ning Cheng immediately concentrated his mind on it, while closing off his senses, cutting himself off from any distractions. From the first few words of the phrase, he understood that although the timber for fire might be of limited quantity, ‘fire’ itself possessed the property to slowly continue spreading indefinitely without any end.

  As for the following words, Ning Cheng immediately understood its intent, i.e. do not let the fire to spread slowly; instead, let the fire rumble out in a one-time blazing inferno. The concentrated power contained in that one blaze would be more than enough to kill the opponent. After the words ‘wrath not slower than lightning’, there were no further pointers. Just as Ning Cheng started to turn anxious, a set of towering scenes abruptly appeared in his consciousness. These scenes were just like an electro-optic projection in Ning Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness, rapidly flashing about in a seemingly disjoint manner.

  Ning Cheng immediately reeled in his mind, while he concentrated all his thoughts and consciousness onto those disjoint flashing scenes.

  Time slowly passed, in a blink of an eye Ning Cheng ended up in seclusion for about a full month. However, Ning Cheng’s mind kept repeating those flashing scenes.

  Those scenes felt as if they were never ending, but then suddenly a ‘Katcha’ sound emerged, and all those disjoint flashing scenes melted away as if they never existed in the first place. However, Ning Cheng unconsciously was starting to link up all those disjoint scenes.

  Not knowing for how long he was in that state, Ning Cheng finally opened his eyes once again. The jade strip that Cang Wei gave him turned into flying ash and disappeared without a trace. It looks like there was only a single opportunity to comprehend this Spiritual Technique, if one could not grasp it in one shot, they would never get a second opportunity to try understanding it.

  Ning Cheng secretly rejoiced that he had actually waited to advance to the Sea Opening Realm before choosing to look at this jade strip. Otherwise, he was sure that he would never be able to comprehend this Spiritual Technique during the time he was in the Soul Sculpting Realm.

  Even if it was now, he was only able to obtain a bit of superficial knowledge.

  This was a Spiritual Technique called ‘Maximal Flame’. From this, Ning Cheng did not need to guess and understood what it entailed. It must be because Cang Wei knew that he possessed an excellent flame spark, because of which he gave him the Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique.

  It looks like the Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique needed a Flame Spark as a base, at the same time he should also be able to bring out this Flame Spark, only then would it be able to make contact with the surrounding world. Then, in the shortest possible time, it would suck out the fire elements from the surrounding. These sucked out fire elements would then combine with the Flame Spark, caus
ing it to produce a ‘lightning flash’, causing the fire elements in the surrounding space to ‘disappear’, projecting a false spacial collapse.

  This collapse would cause everything to come to a temporary halt; at that moment, the Spiritual Technique would then unleash a blazing inferno, causing everything and anything within the space devoid of fire elements to turn into dust.

  This was the most crucial point of the Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique; it uses the disappearance of the fire element to create an illusion of a Spacial Collapse. Although it did not actually create a Spacial Collapse, as long as there was this illusion of Spacial Collapse, and he was able to seize this immediate opportunity of this fake Spacial Collapse, it would be tantamount to a successful execution on strike.

  Only, this kind of Spiritual Technique not only needed a Flame Spark but also required one to have a robust True Essence and Spiritual Consciousness.

  Ning Cheng’s thought process then finally fell onto the Flame Spark, quietly hovering in his Sea of Consciousness. He eventually was not able to bear it and wanted to try the technique.

  His Star River’s shell was already sporting a few cracks, bringing out a hint of a vague flame. However, concerning the formidable nature of the Star River, Ning Cheng had already experienced it first-hand. At the same time, since his Star River had not yet fully hatched, so he thought that even if he successfully displayed the Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique, it would not have too much of an impact on him or it.

  Ning Cheng stood up, at the same time brought out the Star River Spark. Operating it together with the prescribed technique’s method and coordinating with his Spiritual Consciousness, it then rushed out into the surrounding.
