The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

Ning Cheng cursed on seeing such shamelessness. Each Grand Starry Sky had numerous other starry skies under their banner. Yet, seeing so many people, Ning Cheng realised that those bastards had created many more spots, which they then apparently sold through other channels. Obviously, everyone wanted to reap maximum benefits.
Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness swept out a bit and found many acquaintances, Tang Yu, Helian Pengbo, Ziche Jun and others. However, when Ning Cheng saw that both Jing Yiyi and Shi Qionghua had also come aboard, he felt very puzzled. According to him, Shi Qionghua should have gone into seclusion. With a Celestial Novice Cultivation, would she not die by heading to the Immortal Jade Star with such cultivation?
After all the people entered the airship, the Void Airship gave a slight tremble before it rushed out of the Culmination Public Square. In just a moment, it reached and went through the Culmination Starland’s Planet-protecting Grand Array.
This was the most massive Void Airship that Ning Cheng ever saw. Even though it had a sleek deck, it could still accommodate tens of thousands with ease. Even then, it still had plenty of empty space. Some of the cultivators immediately took advantage of this opportunity by placing mats down on the open deck and using the remaining time to exchange items with each other.
Everyone knew that to be on this airship, one either had to be very rich or should at least have the strength to dominate everyone within their own realms in their respective starry skies. These kinds of people not only showed considerable interest in good things but also spent a lot of money.
Ning Cheng also looked around and bought some Starry Sky Grade 3 and above Spiritual Grasses.
In the distance, Shi Qionghua and Jing Yiyi also stood amongst the crowd. With Everlasting Sacred Shrine’s Sacred Master Mi Hui, a powerhouse in the Destiny Realm accompanying them, they naturally did not have to stand on the deck amongst the rest of the cultivators for long before someone led them to a cabin.
Jing Yiyi on seeing Sacred Master finally retire, whispered into Shi Qionghua’s ear, “Junior Apprentice Sister Qiong, you never liked talking about male cultivators? So why are you still talking about that dead cultivator, Ning or something? Do you have a crush on him?”
Shi Qionghua nodded slightly and said, “You cannot say that, Senior Apprentice Sister Yiyi. Although I do not know much about this, I definitely feel that Senior Apprentice Brother Ning is a kind person. But I do not get this feeling from other male cultivators. For example, when I saw that booth in the front, I felt an inexplicable feeling of disgust in my heart. To be honest, even I do not have any idea about what’s going on either.”
Jing Yiyi glanced at where Shi Qionghua pointed and immediately spoke, “Are you referring to Yue Clan’s Talismans? I heard that this is a very famous Talisman Family. They originally belonged to Striking Order Starry Skies, but because of the Heavenly Emperor’s invitation, they then moved to Culmination Starland.”
At this moment, Ning Cheng stood in front of the Yue Clan’s Talisman display. However, he did not show even a scrap of killing intent. A cultivator at the full-circle Celestial Gatherer Realm had set up this talisman display. One had to say that the talismans were of decent quality and grade. At least for an average cultivator in the Celestial Scryer Realm, these talismans could be considered as modest life-saving treasures.
Therefore, Yue Clan’s Talisman earned a lot better business compared to the surrounding booths.
Ning Cheng kept a close look over the talisman booth and saw that Yue Clan’s Celestial Gatherer Cultivator standing up after a short while and speaking, “Friends, I’m all out of talismans. If you still want to buy Yue Clan’s talismans, please come to Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City’s Yue Clan Merchant House.”
With the talismans sold out, the surrounding cultivators also started to disperse. Ning Cheng, however, came up and spoke to the former with cupped fists, “Are you a disciple from the Yue Clan?”
“Yes, I am called Yue Yijing. What do you want?” The cultivator looked at Ning Cheng. He did not understand what Ning Cheng wanted. Moreover, he had also never seen this cultivator before.
“Oh, nothing much. I heard that the Yue Clan has someone by the name Yue Yangzhi. Do you know him?” Ning Cheng’s tone carried a faint pressure.
Yue Yijing frowned, and from what he saw, Ning Cheng seemed to have unusual origins. In any case, Yue Yangzhi was not an important character. As long as one found any person from the Yue Clan, one could easily find out about him. Thinking of this, Yue Yijing spoke up, “I know him. He made some significant contributions to the family and has a decent talent in refining talismans. I’m also a Talisman Refining Master from the Yue Clan, can I ask about how you know about Yue Yangzhi?”
Yue Yangzhi had only recently advanced to the Domain Realm and had not even reached the threshold of the Celestial Novice Realm. Moreover, the family only paid little attention to him due to his meritorious deeds. As such, how could this Celestial Gatherer Cultivator know about Yue Yangzhi?
Ning Cheng showed a faint smile and spoke, “It’s nothing much. He owes me something.” Finished saying that, Ning Cheng turned around, and left.
Looking at Ning Cheng’s back, Yue Yijing felt that this person definitely did not have any good intentions with those questions.
……
Immortal Jade Star was the closest to the Grand Culmination Starry Skies and was actually inside the Grand Culmination Starry Skies’ ruling area. The Void Airship only had to fly for two days before it reached the periphery of the Immortal Jade Star.
All the cultivators on the airship, including Ning Cheng, saw a faint yellow coloured film covering the star. Moreover, this film gave off the aura of a mighty array formation. This should be the Planet-protecting Grand Array set up by the joint forces.
The Void Airship from Culmination Starland was the first to reach the periphery of the Immortal Jade Star. However, the Void Airship did not have to wait for long when three more leviathan-sized Void Airships arrived and stopped at the periphery of the Immortal Jade Star.
Ning Cheng guessed that these Void Airships came from the other three Grand Starry Skies. From the looks of it, more than a hundred thousand cultivators would be entering the Immortal Jade Star.
More than a hundred thousand, yet there was only one Starry Sky Wheel. From this, one could imagine how difficult would it be for anyone who wanted to obtain the Starry Sky Wheel.
Ning Cheng and the others did not have to wait for long when the restrictions covering the Void Airship opened, and the vast starry sky aura started to pour inside. Chuan Xinlou’s voice arrived from afar, “All the cultivators holding the entry jade card from my Grand Culmination Starry Skies can now enter the Immortal Jade Star. I wish everyone good luck.”
With Chuan Xinlou’s words, tens of thousands of cultivators rushed out of the Void Airship. Ning Cheng also mixed in with the numerous cultivators and rushed towards the Immortal Jade Star. At the same time, he also noticed that it was not only the Void Airship from Grand Culmination Starry Skies had removed the restrictions, even the remaining three leviathan-sized airships also released their restrictions, allowing tens of thousands of cultivators to fly out.
One had yet to set foot through the Planet-protecting Grand Array, but everyone knew that the first one to land would obtain the most excellent opportunity. At this moment, words would have shown no effect as every cultivator crazily rushed towards the Immortal Jade Star.
Ning Cheng did not wield his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds and did not bring out his Starry Sky-grade battleship. Instead, he decided to enter through the Immortal Jade Star’s Planet-protecting Grand Array using a flying sword, just like a lot of other cultivators.
Breaking through the layers of clouds, in just over half an hour, Ning Cheng finally stepped on to the Immortal Jade Star’s surface. At this moment, the surrounding cultivators immediately scattered and in just a short time, no cultivators remained around Ning Cheng.
The entir
e planet looked like it had a faint yellow-coloured planet-protecting membrane from the outside, but just below it was a surface inundated with greenery. One could even make out many Starry Sky Spiritual Grasses of decent grades, with ordinary beasts running around over the surface in a relatively carefree manner.
Of all the cultivators entering the Immortal Jade Star, everyone wanted to grab as many resources as possible from inside. Ning Cheng also did not intend to stay in one place, he also wanted to obtain as many resources as possible from the Immortal Jade Star. However, before doing that, he had to get rid of the surveillance measures around him.
After half an incense stick worth of time, Ning Cheng opened up a cave in a remote place. Entering the cave, Ning Cheng then immediately took out the jade card and used his Spiritual Consciousness to scour it repeatedly.
To Ning Cheng’s disappointment, he did not find a single Spiritual Consciousness Imprint on the jade card even after an hour.
Ning Cheng then put down the jade card and started to search his body carefully.
Another hour later, Ning Cheng found a vague Spiritual Consciousness Imprint just below his wrist. Just as Ning Cheng suspected, the Spiritual Consciousness Imprint was not at all on the jade card as Chuan Xinlou had mentioned. Rather, it can be said that this imprint was on the jade card at some point, but once this jade entered the Immortal Jade Star, the Spiritual Consciousness Imprint would then automatically transfer to the body.
Ning Cheng did not touch this Spiritual Consciousness Imprint and used his Spiritual Consciousness to scour his body once again. Even cultivators in the Undead Realm would find it impossible to find this Spiritual Consciousness Imprint, but with his current strength, and the help from his starry sky Sea of Consciousness, he could finally locate it after some difficulties.
Half a day later, just when Ning Cheng thought that there was only one Spiritual Consciousness Imprint on the edge of his wrist, he once again found another vague Spiritual Consciousness Imprint, this one just below his feet. Ning Cheng felt sure that this Spiritual Consciousness Imprint was not from the jade card, but came from the Void Airship.
This imprint would have penetrated through his feet unnoticed and should have attached itself to him when he stood over the Void Airship’s deck.
Ning Cheng gave out a sigh in his heart. He decided to strip off his clothes and continue to look for more Spiritual Consciousness Imprints. As another day passed by, Ning Cheng determined that there was no other Spiritual Consciousness Imprint in his body. Carefully wrapping the two imprints with his own Spiritual Consciousness, he then quickly extracted them, before throwing the two prints and his clothes into his Celestial River Flame.
With the clothes burned to ashes and changing into a new set of robes, Ning Cheng finally felt some slight relief. When the others entered the Immortal Jade Star, they had immediately scattered to collect resources, while he took a day and a half to find the Spiritual Consciousness Imprints.
Ning Cheng also knew that the moment he destroyed the two imprints, it would immediately alert the people outside. However, he did not care at all. If someone killed him and burned his body to ashes, it would also end up destroying the imprints. Therefore, who could know if Ning Cheng had destroyed the marks himself or if someone had killed him and destroyed his body?
Getting rid of the imprints, Ning Cheng once again scoured the jade card repeatedly before sealing it up with many restrictions and rushing out of the temporary cave to look for things he wanted.

Ning Cheng released the Exploding Golden Wasp King, Graceful Star, from the Miniature World. Under Ning Cheng’s cost-free feeding, the Exploding Golden Wasp’s Wasp King had already grown to a length of three feet and had a pale golden colour that permeated its entire body. With the Wasp King growing so fast, it had already come close to evolving into a real starry sky-grade demonic beast.
“Go, try to improve your cultivation, and don’t hesitate to eat anything. This star does not have a master.” Ning Cheng raised his hand and let the Exploding Golden Wasp’s Wasp King loose.
Wasp King Graceful Star, on this masterless star, could definitely find the best evolution treasures for itself, which were much better than merely using Perpetual Moon Pills and Starry Sky Crystals.
Graceful Star gave out a joyous squeal. It felt quite frustrated staying inside the Miniature World over such a long time. However, since its master did not let it out, it could not feel anything but helplessness. Now that Ning Cheng let it loose, it immediately gave out a squeal of joy before it disappeared from view with just a wave of its wings.
Ning Cheng did not feel worried about the Exploding Golden Wasp King straying too far. No matter how far Graceful Star went, he would always know Graceful Star’s location.
After Graceful Star left, Ning Cheng then began to collect every Spiritual Grass that he encountered. As long as it was a Spiritual Grass, he would put it away regardless of its grade.
The low-grade medicinal pills that Ning Cheng refined had no use for him; however, he could feed them to the Exploding Golden Wasp’s Wasp King.
Although many cultivators had entered the Immortal Jade Star, the star itself contained many more things inside. It was akin to a hundred thousand people looking for something on Earth. Although it might seem like a large number but scattered across the planet, such a number did not amount to much. Moreover, the Immortal Jade Star was also many times larger compared to Earth. But with more than a hundred thousand people searching with their Spiritual Consciousness for things, it naturally could not compare to a search party comprised of ordinary people.
Ning Cheng wore the Miniature World Ring on his hand and piles after piles of Spiritual Grasses started to accumulate inside as Ning Cheng continued with the collection.
During these few days, Ning Cheng did not feel the Aura of Origin, nor did he meet any other cultivator. It felt like even with a hundred thousand cultivators entering the Immortal Jade Star, he was the only person in here.
On this day, Ning Cheng had just finished collecting all the Spiritual Grasses growing on a slope when he heard a roar. Not waiting for Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness to sweep out, a giant black-coloured bull rushed over. A flame burned on the bull’s tail, but it looked like the beast wanted to escape from this flame as fast as possible. Under its craze of escape, it seemed not to care about anyone appearing before it.
Ning Cheng raised his hand and threw out a punch. The giant bull that rushed towards him in a frenzied rush got caught up in the trajectory of Ning Cheng’s punch. At this moment, it was too late to retreat, even if it wanted to withdraw.
A muffled ‘bang’ resounded and the Grade 3 Starry Sky Demonic Beast got blown back under Ning Cheng’s punch before it hit the ground dead.
Ning Cheng looked at his fist and felt secretly surprised. He had not fought with anyone for a long time. As such, Ning Cheng had no idea as to what extent had his strength improved. He had not expected that he would be able to kill a Grade 3 Starry Sky Demonic Beast with just a punch. This also told Ning Cheng that the power of his punch had far surpassed that of ordinary Celestial Gatherer Cultivators.
Ning Cheng turned around and was about to leave, ignoring the giant bull that had just died on the ground. A Grade 3 Starry Sky Demonic Beast had no particular use to him. However, just when he took a few steps forward, he once again glanced back at the black bull before returning. He then took out a praying mat from his storage ring.
“Little Chase, this looks like a Wind Seeking Longevity Bull. Take a look at it and see if this bull’s corporeal body is of any use to you?” Ning Cheng said and raised his hand to extinguish the flame burning on the bull’s tail. Whether or not this bull was a Wind Seeking Longevity Bull, N
ing Cheng himself was not sure about it.
A vague bull-faced shadow appeared over the praying mat. The shadow came out and spoke, “Master, I want to possess a human’s corporeal body. I heard that a human’s corporeal body is the most suitable for cultivation. This ugly bull even has a burnt tail, it would simply not match my image……”
“You can dream as much as you want but don’t forget that there might not be another opportunity. Don’t come complaining that I did not give you a chance.” Ning Cheng had long since known that the Wind Seeking Longevity Bull’s life essence was a crafty dunce of the highest quality, something that did not deserve polite words.
“No, no, how can I? It’s just that if I want to possess this corporeal body, I would need a Heavenly Cusp Flower and some Perpetual Moon Pills.” The Wind Seeking Longevity Bull’s Life Essence could understand the hidden threat in Ning Cheng’s words. Frightened because of the implications, it immediately changed its mind. Besides, it has long since grown tired of staying within the praying mat. Now that it got an opportunity to move out, it would definitely jump out. Otherwise, who knows when such an opportunity would present itself.
Ning Cheng had a Heavenly Cusp Flower, which he had initially prepared for other purposes. However, it had no use now. So he took out the Heavenly Cusp Flower and a storage ring containing some Perpetual Moon Pills before passing them on to the Wind Seeking Longevity Bull’s Life Essence with the words, “Hurry up, I don’t have much time to wait for you.”
At this moment, the Wind Seeking Longevity Bull did not utter half a word before it carefully grabbed the storage ring and the Heavenly Cusp Flower before it entered the black bull’s body on the ground.
