The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  “Your luck truly is good. It is not the issue of being too close, but that Wu Mao person is truly cautious. In the Spiritual Seeking Array that he is setting up inside, he even added a concealed Contact Array. Once his Contact Array is completed, we would have surely been discovered.”

  Tan Yun’s complexion changed immediately, and was only able to speak up after a while with a little fear in her voice, “Fortunately, I came to ask you for help; otherwise, I might have not even known how I ended up dead.”

  “Don’t worry, since I could detect his Contact Array, then it would absolutely be impossible for him to want to deceive me.” Ning Cheng gave a sneer as he spoke.

  Wu Mao’s attainments in Array Formations indeed turned out much higher compared to his own; however, he had his own advantages. He did not have to rely on Cloth Arrays; at the same time, he could also avoid Wu Mao’s Array Formations while tracking them.

  ……

  “Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji, if you started cultivating in my Floating Snow Palace from the beginning, I guess you would have become one of the youngest Crucible Transformation Cultivators in the Tian Continent. Your qualifications truly are impressive” After observing Yan Ji’s speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi and also her efficiency of transforming the Spiritual Qi, Yin Kongchan couldn’t help but speak out with an emotion-filled voice as she held onto Yan Ji’s hand.

  Yan Ji quickly replied, “Senior Apprentice Sister Yin overpraises me. My qualification only improved because of some chance encounters in the past. Although my cultivation speed in the past was not slow, it cannot also be called outstanding.”

  Yin Kongchan nodded, “Whatever the cause, it is your own strength that matters in the end. What’s more, you currently also have an outstanding appearance. If it continues like this for a few more years, you will certainly become famous throughout the Tian Continent. Junior Apprentice Sister Ji, I suggest that when the time comes for you to choose a master, then I hope that you choose the Seventh Palace Master. The Seventh Palace Master is currently out, she will definitely return with a bountiful harvest. We, as her disciples, would also be able to profit at someone else’s expense at that time.”

  Yan Ji’s complexion turned red as she spoke, “Senior Apprentice Sister Yin truly over-praises me. My beauty is too rough when compared to Senior Apprentice Sister Yin. As for choosing a master, would I be even qualified for such a thing by myself…..”

  Yan Ji’s thoughts obviously were not what she was currently conveying through her mouth. When she spoke, her complexion was somewhat coy, as if she was embarrassed to say whatever she actually wanted to say.

  “Junior Apprentice Sister Ji, what do you have to say? We will later be officially sisters from the same sect. If you have something to say, then just state it out directly.” Yin Kongchan didn’t like conversing with outsiders much. However, she had a naturally favourable impression towards Yan Ji.

  Yan Ji’s courage finally shot up a little and spoke, “Senior Apprentice Sister Yin, I, I actually want to inquire about a person from you…..”

  Yin Kongchan was a woman herself. When she saw Yan Ji’s shy face and felt Yan Ji’s heartbeat suddenly accelerating, she immediately knew what was going on. She gave a smile and spoke, “I don’t know who that person is, but for him to make Junior Apprentice Sister Ji adore that fellow, that fellow truly was born with great luck.”

  Yan Ji also knew that there was no point in hiding her thoughts now, so she spoke up, “Senior Apprentice Sister Yin, I heard people say that you and Ning Cheng are quite familiar with each other. The person that I wanted to inquire about, is actually Ning Cheng, and where is he currently…..”

  “Him?” Yin Kongchan on hearing the two words ‘Ning Cheng’ suddenly felt somewhat absent-minded. An outline of an indistinct face appeared in front of her; however, the one thing that she could never forget about was the pair of eyes. The pair of eyes that looked at her. It was as if those eyes were looking straight into her heart. So much that she would even ignore his slightly inclined sword like eyebrows, and the straight bridge of his nose.

  If one discussed his handsomeness, then she had met many young men who were far more handsome compared to Ning Cheng. However, Ning Cheng was the only one to leave an eternal impression in her heart, not because of his outstanding redeeming qualities, but because of his eyes. His eyes were like the windows to the starry sky, as if it could encompass virtually anything and everything within them. One would be able to see many things from his eyes as if there was just nothing in the world that could hide from the gaze of those eyes.

  It’s not that his eyes were windows to the actual starry sky, but rather a window to him alone. Because of having such a feeling, Yin Kongchan never dared to look into his eyes. That’s right; she did not dare to look into his eyes. It felt like even her most profound thoughts in the deepest corners of her heart would lay bare if she glanced into Ning Cheng’s eyes.

  “Senior Apprentice Sister Yin…..” Yan Ji asked once again. She had just asked if she knew where Ning Cheng currently was, and if Yin Kongchan had told that she didn’t know about it, it wouldn’t have mattered much to her. However, looking at Senior Apprentice Sister Yin’s appearance being a little strange, didn’t it mean that Senior Apprentice Yin might also have similar thoughts like her own? That shouldn’t be possible, or was it?

  “Oh, yes, I know Ning Cheng. Xu Yingdei from the Severing Emotions Dao Sect plotted against him because of which he had to escape far away from the Yi Xing Mainland.” Yin Kongchan was not aware that Ning Cheng had not only returned but also had returned with a mighty Spiritual Might. She just knew about Ning Cheng ending up forced to go to the Sifting Orchid Star; however, she did not want to speak about this matter with Yan Ji. If she told this to Yan Ji, then it would bring no help for Yan Ji at all. The Sifting Orchid Star was just too dangerous. Although going there was easy, but coming back would prove to be extremely difficult.

  “Xu Yingdei?” Yan Ji repeated those words once again. Although it had been a long time since she arrived at the Tian Continent; however, she did not know that Ning Cheng had come to the Tian Continent even earlier than her and therefore had never heard of the feats performed by Ning Cheng until a few days ago. Let alone her, even the cultivator groups from the Le Continent that came with and before her were aware that the Tian Continent contained even more dangers than their homes. As such, they rarely went out to look around. Thus it was only natural that most of them were still unaware of the matters relating to Ning Cheng.

  “Yes, Xu Yingdei is the True Inheriting Disciple of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect. After this woman used Ning Cheng to sever her emotions, she also used that chance to plot against Ning Cheng…”

  “Is Senior Apprentice Brother Ning all right?” Not waiting for Yin Kongchan to finish her, Yan Ji immediately interrupted her with a panicked voice, causing Yin Kongchan to be startled.

  Yin Kongchan shook her head and spoke, “I don’t know. I heard that Xu Yingdei’s master Shi Qionghua managed to save Ning Cheng. Later, she and Ning Cheng became Dao Companions, before both of them left the Yi Xing Mainland.”

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning got married?” Yan Ji suddenly found herself going weak. She wanted to forcefully uplift her spirits but found it utterly impossible.

  Yin Kongchan gave a sigh before grabbing Yan Ji’s hand and speaking out softly, “Junior Apprentice Sister Ji, fate is something that is very difficult to change. If it were in your fate then it would happen; if not, then such a thing would never happen. Although Ning Cheng can be considered good, in the future, if we can get out of the Yi Xing Mainland, we might discover that there are a lot many better than him……”

  Yan Ji tried to calm down her voice before speaking, “Senior Apprentice Sister Yin, you misunderstood my meaning…..”

  She was not looking for Ning Cheng to become Dao Companions with him; instead, it was because she

  must

  search for Ning Cheng. Senior Apprentice
Sister Yin would never be able to understand what she meant.

  Yin Kongchan gave another sigh; she wanted to very much say, “I did not misunderstand your meaning.” However, she knew that these words would not be appropriate in this place.

  “Senior Apprentice Sister Yin, I want to go into seclusion to attack the boundary to the Soul Sculpting Realm. Once I am able to reach the Soul Sculpting Realm, only then would will I come out to acknowledge a master.” As Yan Ji spoke those words, she had already returned to her usual composure.

  ……

  This was already the eleventh day for Ning Cheng and Tan Yun to continue tracking Wu Mao. Even though Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness was dominating, he still felt tired. However, the Wu Mao quartet that they were following seemed to have forgotten the concept of being tired and was continuously throwing out Array Flags.

  Ning Cheng’s way of tracking was different from the methods others used to track. He not only was proficient in Array Formations, but he was also a Tier 7 Array Formation Grand Master. He not only could trace others, but he could also detect any kind of trace of Spiritual Scent from Wu Mao’s Spiritual Seeking Array.

  Even if a tiny bit of Spiritual Scent appeared in the Array Formation, Ning Cheng would immediately detect it.

  At this moment, Ning Cheng suddenly caught an unexpected Spiritual Scent. This was not the Spiritual Qi Scent from Spirit Stones. Although it was a vague one, he could immediately determine that this definitely was the scent from the Spiritual Vein.

  He immediately stopped, while his heart was madly beating in his chest. He did not expect that Wu Mao would actually possess such a great skill. He really was able to find the Spiritual Vein. Not only did he locate it, but also his speed of determining it was too swift.

  Tan Yun on seeing Ning Cheng stop also stopped right behind him.

  Ning Cheng did not move at all from his spot. The Spiritual Vein seemed hidden in the ground. Moreover, it was through this Spiritual Seeking Array that he was able to find a trace of this Spiritual Scent. Wu Mao could have definitely entered the ground following this faint scent and even locate the specific location of the Spiritual Vein. At this time, not to mention Wu Mao, if it were any other person tracking them, they would also be able to find the Spiritual Vein’s position based on the hint of Spiritual Scent that they perceived.

  Ning Cheng was waiting for Wu Mao to actually start looking for the Spiritual Vein, but found that Wu Mao didn’t seem to have discovered it. He continued exploring ahead. Sang Jiezhu and the others apparently were not Array Formation masters and were not able to detect this faint Spiritual Scent from the Spiritual Seeing Array. As Wu Mao was still moving forward, the three of them also moved forward together with him.

  What’s all this about?

  Ning Cheng suddenly found himself frozen in spot. This Array Formation was something that Wu Mao had personally arranged, yet since he could discover the scent of the Spiritual Vein, there was no reason why Wu Mao could not detect it. Why was he behaving as if he did not find anything?

  Please do not host our works anywhere else without our permission.

  This thought had just crossed Ning Cheng’s mind when Ning Cheng suddenly understood something.

  Wu Mao wanted to take sole possession of the Spiritual Vein.

  After he found the location of the Spiritual Vein, he not only did not stop but also continued to lead the rest of the group. It showed that he did not have any intention to split the Spiritual Vein with the others.

  Quite the cunning fellow; however, even if you were the most cunning fellow in this world, you still would have to drink this father’s foot-washing water.

  “What’s wrong?” Tan Yun carefully asked with a Sound Transmission.

  “That Wu Mao already found the scent of the Spiritual Vein; however, he is pretending to have not found it yet. This situation is truly the best for us. Once they walked away from this place, we can then grab it and leave…..” Ning Cheng did not hide anything from Tan Yun. To do the dirty work of another villain, although Tan Yun and Ning Cheng were cooperating with each other, the thoughts of the two of them were not too distant from each other. Moreover, Ning Cheng also did not intend to pit himself against Tan Yun.

  However, Ning Cheng’s words had still not finished, when he suddenly stopped talking. He could vaguely feel that something was wrong.

  Tan Yun was pleasantly surprised. Just when she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a sound transmission from Ning Cheng, “Senior Apprentice Sister Tan, I feel that something is wrong. If I were him, after I discovered the Spiritual Vein’s scent, even if I want to monopolise ……”

  Ning Cheng’s words suddenly came to a pause before he immediately spoke up in affirmation, “Senior Apprentice Sister Tan, Wu Mao is a Tier 9 Array Formation Grand Master, with cultivation even higher than my own. After discovering the Spiritual Vein, he not only did not check the surrounding situation, he did not even sweep out with his Spiritual Consciousness, which already had intertwined with the Spiritual Consciousness of others. This is certainly not normal, huh……”

  “What’s the matter?” Tan Yun asked in a quiver. She could also feel that this matter was going extremely smoothly

  “So that’s why.” Ning Cheng’s expression turned cold.

  He had always been wondering about the Spiritual Seeking Array that Wu Mao had been arranging all the way until now. Mainly since many pairs of Array Flags could be directly replaced by a single one. Initially, he did not care about it; after all, he was extremely confident in his Mysterious Yellow Formless. Something that helped him in triggering the part of his brain to solve things by itself. For others to be unable to compare to him, it was quite reasonable.

  However, at this moment, he finally understood that he was indeed too arrogant. Wu Mao’s unnecessary Array Flags, they were not arranged without any reason at all. It was something that he could trigger at any time, forming a Forbidden Space Array Formation in the shortest possible time.

  As those thoughts linked with each other, Ning Cheng knew that this fellow had already discovered him and Tan Yun. It was just that Wu Mao and the others had not begun yet. Once he snatched up the Spiritual Vein from them, he could then focus on killing him and Tan Yun in one fell swoop.

  There were many kinds of Forbidden Space Array Formations, with Wu Mao’s Array Formation expertise; he would definitely be able to lock in Tan Yun from running away using talismans.

  “Senior Apprentice Sister Tan. Do you believe in me?” Ning Cheng did not explain these things and directly asked.

  Tan Yun spoke out without any hesitation, “Sect Master Ning, if I didn’t believe in you, then I wouldn’t have chosen to cooperate with you. It would be better to not ask such words again.”

  “Good, then I will have to ask Senior Apprentice Sister Tan to leave this place immediately as quietly as possible; at the same time, rush out of the Shattered Canopy Mountains at your maximum speed. Three months later, we will meet at the Heavenly Dao Public Square. If I managed to obtain the Spiritual Vein by then, I would ensure that one-third of it reaches Senior Apprentice Sister Tan.” Ning Cheng spoke out bluntly.

  Tan Yun also did not speak any nonsense before replying, “Okay, let’s go with that.”

  Tan Yun did not even ask about the reason and agreed directly to whatever he said.

  Ning Cheng also felt very satisfied with Tan Yun’s attitude. He took out a jade bottle and handed it to Tan Yun before speaking, “This is a small gift for Senior Apprentice Sister Tan in light of our cooperation. Senior Apprentice Sister Tan’s cultivation progress has been too quick, causing your foundation to become shaky. You would require the assistance of this thing to resolve it.”

  “Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar!” Tan Yun’s Spiritual Consciousness imme
diately swept inside before she spoke out in a surprised voice. She initially intended to buy it from Ning Cheng, especially since her foundation was indeed unstable. She never expected that Ning Cheng would actually present it to her.

  Tan Yun was not one who was fond of idle talk. Taking the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar and partaking with a word of caution, she immediately began tracing her steps back the way she came in following Ning Cheng.

  After Tan Yun left, Ning Cheng did not immediately start. He still kept observing the Array Flags left behind by Wu Mai. If he ended up surrounded by four Crucible Transformation Cultivators, although he might not die he would still lose a layer of skin.

  After a while, Ning Cheng gave out a sigh. He discovered that he indeed hadn’t been careful enough before. This Array Formation did not just contain a Forbidden Space Array Formation; once activated, it would also link up with a chain of concealed Annihilation Array Formations.

  If he lost himself to carelessness, knowing that the other person already discovered his traces, combined with his heart not being calm enough, he would have never observed these minute details.

  Once he went in to actually seek out the Spiritual Vein, Wu Dao would surely ‘find’ him, before the four of them besieged him. In that case, the Spiritual Seeking Array Formation laid out by Wu Dao, would also end up completely destroyed, causing the location of the Spiritual Vein to also disappear.

  Such good insurance.

  No, that’s not right.

  Ning Cheng once again found a few problems with this thought. Wu Mao discovering him definitely was a fact. However, when it came to Wu Mao requiring him dead, why must he take off his pants to fart? Couldn’t he just arrange a Destruction Array Formation?

  Ning Cheng definitely was an intelligent person even before he started cultivating, not to mention with his present cultivation when he had already fused with the Mysterious Yellow Origin. In just a short time, Ning Cheng thought through what was going on.
