The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  Moreover, even that Su Dai had come over along with a middle-aged man. One could only see vague celestial wheel traces behind this middle-aged man, showing that this person was at least a Life and Death Powerhouse. Ning Cheng guessed that this middle-aged person should be Su Dai’s father and the Association Head who wanted to see him.

  At this moment, a middle-aged Confucian-looking man came in, followed by numerous powerhouses; moreover, each of those powerhouse’s Celestial Wheels gave out a horrifying aura.

  The cultivators, who came to the Eternal Heaven Artefact-crafting Pool previously, immediately stood up, as did Heavenly Emperor Striking Order.

  Cen Yan whispered in Ning Cheng’s ears, “That’s Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain’s Heavenly Emperor Chuan Xinlou, the premier powerhouse of Grand Culmination Starry Skies. Also behind him, the old man wearing a scarlet robe along with the red face is Jinming Qianbo. As for the senior next to Jinming Qianbo, he is Sect Master Chiyun Bayan[2] of the Culmination Starland’s Celestial Weapon Spirit Sect……”

  Although Cen Yan had whispered in Ning Cheng’s ear while referencing Jinming Qianbo as an old man, the moment she said that, Jinming Qianbo shot a cold glare in their direction. Cen Yan got caught up in his gaze and felt as if dozens of ice blades had pierced into her eyes. Her face immediately turned pale and could not say anything else.

  Perhaps because Cen Yan refereed to Chiyun Bayan as a ‘senior’, Chiyun Bayan raised his hand immediately dissolved Jinming Qianbo’s pressure. Chiyun Bayan laughed and spoke, “Brother Qianbo, you can’t do something like that if someone calls your name. Putting such pressure over a Celestial Scryer Cultivator, it only shows pettiness.”

  Jinming Qianbo showed a smile and spoke, “How could I stoop so low as to mess with some junior. This time, it looks like that Zhongli Baichi does not dare to come out. Fortunately, these two apprentices came here to compete with my disciples. Let us conclude today’s case already, that way, I would finally get rid of the burden over my mind. The competition a hundred years ago was witnessed by Brother Levelled Heart and Brother Bayan and a few others. Therefore, today, I would have to ask the several brother and sisters here to bear witness to the competition between my disciple and that Zhongli Baichi’s disciple.”

  With that, Jinming Qianbo turned to the audience and spoke with cupped fists, “Many thanks to all the Heavenly Emperors and the various Dao Friends present here to come to witness the competition. No matter whether I, Jinming Qianbo, lose or not, I give my word to craft a weapon for free for all of the Dao Friends here.”

  “Brother Jinming, if Zhongli Baichi had come here, would you have shown such generosity?” A sharp voice asked.

  Jinming Qianbo chuckled and spoke, “That year, when that idiot Zhongli drove me out of the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City, it was like he was trying to drive away a dog. However, he said that I could come here to challenge him a hundred years later, and now I am here. Since he does not dare to come out, I can only drive out his disciples like a dog as he did to me. As for the idiot’s Artefact-crafting Store, it will be replaced by my Jinming Artefact-crafting Store in the future.”

  He knew that idiot Zhongli would have managed to form many connections within the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City during these past hundred years. However, many of the cultivators here came without an invitation. He also knew that these fellows held no interest in the competition between the disciples of two Artefact-crafting Masters. What these people were interested in was the precious treasure that Zhongli Baichi had won that year. How could that treasure, that he and Zhongli Baichi competed for in that year, be anything simple?

  However, if they wanted to get their hands of this treasure, then it would be nearly impossible.

  “I heard that you lost a very precious treasure to Zhongli Baichi. I just came here to see that treasure and broaden my horizons. I think most of us came here for the same reason as me.” A cultivator sitting in the audience gave a snort and spoke as if he did not care about Jinming Qianbo.

  “That’s right…..” Many of the cultivators immediately echoed the sentiments of this person. If a wealthy cultivator like Jinming Qianbo still could not forget about the treasure even after a hundred years, it would have truly been strange if the people here thought it to be simple. Just as Jinming Qianbo speculated, many of these spectators truly came her not to witness the Artefact-crafting Competition but to see the treasure. Everyone knew that Jinming Qianbo had not come here just purely for revenge. If Jinming Qianbo truly desired revenge, he would have never come looking for Zhongli Baichi’s disciples.

  Not to mention these cultivators, even Ning Cheng wanted to know what Zhongli Baichi had won that year.

  Jinming Qianbo quietly spoke, “That idiot Zhongli is not here, so even if my disciple wins, there is no way to show this treasure to everyone. To not waste everyone’s time here, let’s start the match now.”

  “Wait-wait, I also want to take part in this competition, and of course I’m going to let my disciple participate too.” A man with a pointed face walked in and behind this man with a sharp face was a young man with a tiger’s back.

  As the man with the pointed face finished his words, he then turned towards Chuan Xinlou and cupped his fists before continuing, “I hope Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart could forgive this Le Wu’s abrupt appearance and rudeness.”

  “Le Wu, you are from the Grand Demon Domain Starry Skies, why would you want to compete here? Besides, we are only settling a past grudge.” Jinming Qianbo’s tone turned cold.

  This man with a pointed face knew that he would have to tell the truth today; otherwise, he would not get any chance at all. He immediately turned to the audience with cupped fists and spoke, “To all the Dao Friends here, it’s true that I, Le Wu, am from the Demon Domain, but with the four grand starry skies teaming up, my Grand Demon Domain and Grand Culmination Starry Skies are also friends. My intent to participate in the competition is the same as that of Jinming. If I won, I just want Zhongli Baichi’s Artefact-crafting Store. I do not want anything else.”

  No one was a fool here; therefore, once Le Wu spoke about this, everyone’s attention immediately turned towards Zhongli Baichi’s Artefact-crafting Store. No one thought that Le Wu came all the way here for just an Artefact-crafting Store. However, to say that this Artefact-crafting Store was the treasure from that year was also a bit too outrageous.

  No one among the crowd had not heard of Le Wu; more accurately, no cultivator in the Heaven Seated and above realm did dare to claim that they had not heard of Le Wu. This person was the premier Artefact-crafting Master of the Grand Demon Domain Starry Skies. One could even say that his position as an Artefact-crafting Master within the Grand Demon Domain Starry Skies was no worse than that enjoyed by Zhongli Baichi.

  Chuan Xinlou suddenly spoke up, “Le Wu, since you want Zhongli Baichi’s Artefact-crafting Store, can you tell us why? As long as you can provide a satisfactory reason, I will agree to let you participate in today’s competition.”

  Jinming Qianbo’s expression immediately changed. He knew that his Artefact-crafting ability far exceeded Chuan Xinlou’s expertise; however, when it came to cultivation, the chasm between him and Chuan Xinlou was like an uncrossable gap. Therefore, even though he wanted to stop things from proceeding any further, once Chuan Xinlou spoke, he could only shut up.

  Le Wu looked at Jinming Qianbo and said, “That’s because the treasure that Jinming Qianbo and Zhongli Baichi fought over that year was the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store.”

  As soon as Le Wu said this, ev
eryone immediately sat up straight. No wonder Zhongli Baichi was not in Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City, yet Jinming Qianbo came looking for his disciples for a ‘competition’. Looks like he really came here for the idiot’s Artefact-crafting Store. Naturally, no one thought that Baichi Artefact-crafting Store was this precious. Most likely, the most valuable thing should be within this Artefact-crafting Store.

  Chuan Xinlou gave out a cold snort directed at Jinming Qianbo, and his tone turned cold, “Le Wu, you better explain what’s inside the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store?”

  “If I win, I just want the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store, but only for a year.” Le Wu spoke to Chuan Xinlou without batting an eye.

  “I’ll agree to it, but you have to explain what’s inside. As long as you can win, you have my word that you can take over Baichi Artefact-crafting Store for a year.” Chuan Xinlou spoke with a calm voice while staring at Le Wu.

  Ning Cheng lamented within his heart on seeing this, and once again realised that his cultivation was not even worth a fart around here. Chuan Xinlou didn’t even bother asking Cen Yan and him, the ones currently in-charge of Baichi’s Artefact-crafting Store and directly promised to hand over Baichi Artefact-crafting Store. Even if Zhongli Baichi were here in person, this fellow most likely would still speak those words

  . What was a powerhouse? This was a powerhouse, whose single sentence could determine the outcome.

  At this moment, Ning Cheng really wished that he had Senior Apprentice Brother Cang Wei’s cultivation at his peak. With these people still speaking in such a manner, Ning Cheng would have definitely slapped them if he heard those words, just to see how strong this Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart was. Unfortunately, Ning Cheng could only imagine such things without bringing it to reality.

  “There is a treasure in the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store. However, one must refine it completely before one can take it away. That waste Zhongli Baichi, even after obtaining this Artefact-crafting Store and refining it for a hundred years, he still could not finish refining this treasure. I promise that after I win if I can’t refine it within a year, I will hand over this Baichi Artefact-crafting Store…..”

  Le Wu had not yet completed his words when Sect Master Chiyun Bayan from the Spirit Sect eagerly spoke out, “What is this treasure?”

  The other cultivators also eagerly looked towards Le Wu, even a powerful Artefact-crafting Master as Zhongli Baichi could not refine this treasure during the hundred years of continuous refinement. From this, everyone could guess that this treasure was definitely not an ordinary one.

  “A fragment of the Good Fortune Indestructible Axe…..”

  Le Wu’s words immediately caused a stir among the crowd, and the audience could no longer sit still. At this moment, the cultivators here could not wait to rush into Zhongli Baichi’s Artefact-crafting Store. A fragment of a Good Fortune Treasure had appeared, such news was simply too sensational.

  Chuan Xinlou immediately stood up and stared at Le Wu before speaking with an impatient tone, “Are you speaking the truth?”

  “It’s naturally true, why? Could it be that Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart wants to renege on a promise made a moment ago? If you want to take back your words, then I, Le Wu, will immediately leave this place. However, I believe that Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart, as the Premier Powerhouse of Grand Culmination Starry Skies, would not take back his words, would he?” Le Wu spoke with a dull tone.

  Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart suddenly laughed, “Le Wu, whatever words that I, Chuan Xinlou speak, I will never take them back. You don’t have to use such words against me.”

  Even though Chuan Xinlou showed such an attitude, without even the slightest fluctuation in his emotions, Ning Cheng still had a feeling that Chuan Xinlou was very excited. Not only was Chuan Xinlou excited, but even the rest of the people also present here felt the fires of excitement burning in their hearts on learning that Baichi Artefact-crafting Store had a fragment of a Good Fortune Treasure inside.

  In contrast, only Ning Cheng felt calm; moreover, he also held heavy scepticism over Le Wu’s words. Good Fortune Treasures had incredible toughness, and no one here was more familiar with it than Ning Cheng was. He had used the Mysterious Yellow Bead to escape many times. If the Mysterious Yellow Bead broke apart this easily, Ning Cheng would have lost his life many times over by now.

  He had two reasons to doubt Le Wu’s words. The first was that the Indestructible Axe was a Good Fortune Treasure, with the actual words ‘Indestructible’ in it, so how could it break? And the second one was that he possessed the Good Fortune Mysterious Yellow Bead, yet he did not sense that the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store contained a Good Fortune Treasure.

  But if Le Wu spoke the truth, then Ning Cheng could understand why he spoke such hard words for Zhongli Baichi. Zhongli Baichi had forced Jinming Qianbo to leave for a hundred years with the vow to let him not step into Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City during the time. Most likely, Zhongli Baichi had thought that he could refine the fragment of the Good Fortune Indestructible Axe during these hundred years. However, Zhongli Baichi most likely had not expected that even after a hundred years, he would fail to refine the fragment.

  Jinming Qianbo knew that Zhongli Baichi certainly would not be able to refine the fragment of Good Fortune Indestructible Axe within a hundred years and as such agreed to Baichi’s conditioned and really stepped out of the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City. If anything, it looks like Jinming Qianbo had a much better understanding of the Good Fortune Treasure fragment compared to Zhongli Baichi.

  “Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart indeed is an open and upright person. This Le Wu really admires you.” After Le Wu heard those words, he immediately cupped his fists and spoke something. His main intention was to gain entry to Baichi Artefact-crafting Store. As for Chuan Xinlou’s plot, he felt no fear towards it.

  Chuan Xinlou smiled and ignored Le Wu. Instead, he then spoke to Jinming Qianbo, “Since Le Wu has asked to take over Baichi Artefact-crafting Store for a year after he wins, so to be fair to you, you can also take possession of it for a year if you win.”

  Jinming Qianbo’s expression turned extreme unsightly at those words; however, he still cupped his fists towards Chuan Xinlou without speaking anything. Apparently, he grudgingly defaulted to such an outcome. Facing Chuan Xinlou, he anyway could not dare to refute.

  “Well, you can let your disciple start with the Artefact-crafting Competition. I will bear the role of a witness to see which side wins.”

  Once Chuan Xinlou spoke those words, he then turned around to the cultivators in the audience before continuing, “If what Le Wu said is the truth, that is even after Zhongli Baichi continued to refine the fragment of the Good Fortune Indestructible Axe for a hundred years and still failed, then presumably this fragment is very difficult to refine. Since everyone has come here today, then after two years, we will try to enter one after another. Whoever can refine the fragment within a year, is whom the fragment will belong.”

  When they heard Chuan Xinlou’s words, the rest of the cultivator’s expressions immediately turned for the better.

  That right, even if you were Chuan Xinlou, you cannot eat at a banquet alone.

  Ning Cheng secretly cursed at this Chuan Xinlou’s cunning. No matter who won the competition, he would be the second person to enter the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store. After the first year’s refinement and when it came to seniority, who could rank above Chuan Xinlou?

  Chiyun Bayan, who initially wanted to send in his disciple for the competition, immediately gave up on this thought after hearing Chuan Xinlou’s words.

  Cen Yan’s face looked a little pale. She did not expect that such a treasure would be inside her Baichi Artefact-crafting Store. If she had known about it, she would have never agreed to this competition even if someone beat her to death.

  Ning Cheng had to stand up at this moment. In any case, with no one finding out anything unusual with him, it made him feel very relieved and ga
ve him the courage to stand up. After Chuan Xinlou’s words ended, he suddenly stood up and walked to the front before speaking up with cupped fists, “Because of the Heavenly Emperors here, our Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City has always been the fairest place in all of the starry skies. However, this disciple has a few problems, which I hope the Heavenly Emperor could help me solve.”

  Chuan Xinlou did not think that a Celestial Scryer Cultivator like Ning Cheng would actually dare to speak in front of him. However, as a peak-level Heavenly Emperor, he did not take offence to Ning Cheng’s words and spoke up with a dull tone, “Speak.”

  “Yes. Many thanks, Heavenly Emperor.” Ning Cheng answered.

  Then he unhurriedly cupped his fists once again before turning around for a second time before speaking to Chuan Xinlou, “Respected seniors and Heavenly Emperors. Disciples from three different factions are now participating in this competition. However, the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store’s current owner is our master, Zhongli Baichi. Moreover, my master’s Artefact-crafting Store is the focus of this competition. But since this is a three-way competition, we can’t just start the competition with just my master’s store as the collateral, can we?”

  “Therefore, I would like to ask the two masters, Jinming Qianbo and Le Wu, to come up with some collateral so that it’s fair to everyone. Moreover, no matter if we win or lose, it looks like we will be losing our home. So I request the Heavenly Emperor to help us out with it.”

  Ning Cheng knew that they definitely would not be able to hold on to Zhongli Baichi’s store. Therefore, he decided that he might as well take the opportunity to obtain some benefits.

  “It’s alright, I will give you a new Artefact-crafting Store.” Chuan Xinlou did not pay any attention to such a request. Although Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City was an expensive place, it was not for someone like Chuan Xinlou.

  “Haha, Zhongli Baichi’s disciple sure is a bit interesting. What do you want?” Le Wu spoke while staring at Ning Cheng.
