The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  After absorbing the Thunder Source, the lightning arcs that he could now condense had turned slightly thicker. However, these lightning arcs could only scare low-levelled cultivators, it had no use against cultivators in the Celestial Bridge Realm. However, it was definitely a significant step forward to condense lightning arcs and use it to attack opponents.

  In the future, as long as he obtained a thunder-related spirit technique, he could then be able to master the thunder-related spirit technique in the shortest possible time.

  As lightning arcs descended one after another with the waterfall, Ning Cheng’s Celestial Essence and Spiritual Consciousness also grew crazily. Although more and more physical scars appeared in his body, Ning Cheng only became happier and happier in his heart.

  Strength was the real capital in this world. As long as his power could reach the required level, he could leverage it to create a foothold for himself in the future.

  “Katcha.” A fine sound emerged. Ning Cheng felt as if some sort of barrier had cracked open within his body. It immediately caused Ning Cheng to feel comfortable all over.

  Celestial Essence, which had once filled his meridians, dispersed like seawater without a dyke. In just a flash, it integrated and concealed itself everywhere within his meridians and Zifu, and there was no longer a feeling of Celestial Essence spillover.

  The feeling almost caused Ning Cheng to roar out in joy that he finally advanced to the Undead Realm. Every time he took a step forward, his cultivation would skyrocket, improving his strength by leaps and bounds. Every step forward in cultivation gave him this feeling.

  Once the Celestial Essence completed a simple Heavenly Cycle within his meridians, Ning Cheng’s body, which had wounds covering the entirety of his body due to the Thunder Tribulation, quickly started to heal at speed visible to the naked eye. His scarred body even turned very smooth and well contoured.

  Undead Realm, so this was what it meant.

  Ning Cheng thought to himself as he raised his arms and looked at the smooth skin. He finally understood why this realm had the name ‘Undead’, as it actually implied a complete rebirth of the body[1].

  Although this Thunder Tribulation looked horrifying, Ning Cheng’s resistance to it had also grown to heaven-defying levels after the barrier broke. The Thunder Tribulation now could only cause some skin injuries and couldn’t really hurt his body deeply.

  After advancing to the Undead Realm, Ning Cheng believed that even if his physical body suffered severe injuries, as long as the injuries did not affect his foundation, he could reconstruct his body even from a severed limb.

  Moreover, as Ning Cheng’s cultivation reached this level, he understood that he now obtained a small ability to say something within the starry skies. In the starry skies, the real powerhouses were cultivators in and above the Heaven Seated Realm; however, Ning Cheng felt confident that his Undead Realm could not be compared to the Undead Realm of others. And that the cultivation resources that he used up to reach this level would be more than enough for others to cultivate to the Heaven Seated Realm. Moreover, that was just the strength of his regular cultivation, he was also a true body-forging cultivator.

  “Haha, Luofei, Qionghua, we can now head to the Second Revenant Star.” Ning Cheng laughed and shouted to Shi Qionghua and Ji Luofei in the distance.

  Ji Luofei led Shi Qionghua to look at Ning Cheng’s perfect and naked body. The sight caused Ji Luofei’s hand, which she used to guide Shi Qionghua, to turn damp. She truly felt excited in her heart. Only with Ning Cheng did she get to enjoy such happiness.

  In Ning Cheng’s opinion, the Celestial Lord of the Second Revenant Star was most likely an expert in the Life and Death Realm. Although Ning Cheng was still a long way from reaching the Life and Death Realm, he believed in his current strength. Although he might not be able to beat them, he could still escape from them with relative ease. Even Eternal-level Powerhouses would find it difficult to catch up to him with the Starry Sky Wheel, not to mention a cultivator in the Life and Death Realm.

  Besides, he also wanted to head to the Second Revenant Star to search for someone. As long as Kun Zhuo Celestial River King did not come looking for his head, he also would not willingly go to him to search for trouble.

  ……

  Second Revenant Star, Kun Zhu Celestial River’s Premier Starland. It had some similarities with the Grand Culmination Starry Skies’ Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City, and even Striking Order Starry Skies’ Striking Order Starland. This was not only the residence of Celestial River King Kun Zhuo who was also a powerhouse in the Life and Death Realm but was also the densest area within the entire Kun Zhu Celestial River when it came to Celestial Essence.

  Ning Cheng brought Shi Qionghua and Ji Luofei to the periphery of the Second Revenant Star, before putting away the Starry Sky Wheel.

  Ning Cheng came here to see whether Yan Ji was here or not and to check if his sister Ruolan and the others had come to this place. In any case, he had found no traces of Ruolan and others when he visited the Supporting Taro Star and used his Spiritual Consciousness to confirm it.

  But at the Second Revenant Star, Ning Cheng did not dare to use his Spiritual Consciousness lest it involuntarily triggered some restrictions during the sweep. This place wasn’t a small and unimportant location as the Supporting Taro Star. There must be a few masters in the Heaven Seated Realm in this place, along with several other experts.

  As the premier planet within the Kun Zhuo Celestial River, the Second Revenant Star not only was a large starland, but it also had a large number of cities.

  Although Ning Cheng brought Shi Qionghua and Ji Luofei into the Second Revenant Star, instead of entering the Descendant City, the premier city of the Second Revenant Star, he headed to Coherence Pearl City, a town near Descendant City.

  Although Ning Cheng believed that no one here would know that he had entered the Immortal Jade Star, he still acted with caution. He decided to first come to the Coherence Pearl City and inquire about the general situation. For example, to find if Celestial River King Ji Yangyao had returned from the Grand Culmination Sky? What did Ji Yangyao look like? Did they know each other and so on.

  In the corner of a rest stop within the Coherence Pearl City, Ning Cheng and the two women sat down and ordered a pot of Spiritual Tea.

  When the waiter brought the Spiritual Tea, Ning Cheng was just about to call out to the waiter to inquire about Kun Zhuo Celestial River King Ji Yangyao and the general situation around this fellow.

  Just when he was about to ask, Ning Cheng’s suddenly focussed his attention to the comments of the few cultivators sitting at the next table.

  “…. What you said is not even worth that much. Striking Order Chamber of Commerce sold a pseudo-Spirit Artefact at an auction in Descendant City day before yesterday. I heard that someone traded for it with many Permanent Essence Pills. Now that is a real treasure.”

  “It’s not really a treasure. Several years ago, Grand Culmination Starry Skies opened the Immortal Jade Star. It led to the appearance of the Wind Thunder Apricot, the Earth Origin Bead and a top-grade flight-type weapon called the Starry Sky Wheel. Those are the real treasures.”

  “I heard that a Celestial Gatherer Cultivator managed to steal the Earth Origin Bead. That fellow truly has luck on his side.”

  “How could someone like that take it away? How could a Celestial Gatherer Cultivator get to keep the Earth Origin Bead? I heard that this happened due to the emergence of Good Fortune Treasures. Which or what is a Good Fortune Treasure, who knows? Even I do not have any idea about it.”

  “I don’t know about the Good Fortune Treasure, but I’ve heard that there is a piece of Good Fortune Indestructible Axe in the Grand Culmination Starry Skies’ Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City.”

  “I also heard about it. I heard it was in an Artefact-crafting Pavilion, which Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart had sealed. Unexpectedly, the owner of the Artefact-crafting Pavilion returned some time ago. I think peop
le called him Baichi or something. That senior also had incredible power who fought alone against several Starry Sky Emperors, resulting in the destruction of the Artefact-crafting Pavilion …”

  Ning Cheng felt shocked to learn that the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store indeed contained a Good Fortune Indestructible Axe’s fragment. After Zhongli Baichi had left the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City that time, he had not returned. Ning Cheng never expected that after he left the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City, Zhongli Baichi would come back again and even fight against other Starry Sky Emperors.

  If that was truly the case, then Chuan Xinlou most likely had not returned to the Grand Culmination Starry Skies. If Chuan Xinlou had come back, then Zhongli Baichi would not have gone around doing as he pleased.

  Ning Cheng could not find any news relating to Jian Jiao. Although Zhongli Baichi might have returned to take away Junior Apprentice Sister Yan, he definitely would not take Jian Jiao with him. If something happened to Jian Jiao, how would he answer to Cang Wei?

  With that in mind, Ning Cheng decided to sneak back into the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City after leaving the Second Revenant Star and see if he could find Jian Jiao.

  But in any case, he did not want to see that cheap master Zhongli Baichi again. Although Ning Cheng felt that Zhongli Baichi had taught him something, most likely it was to accomplish something he wanted. If it was just for the competition, then he could still accept it. However, if Zhongli Baichi had other intentions, then with his current cultivation, it would not end up good to appear in front of Zhongli Baichi.

  Seeing Ning Cheng in thought, JI Luofei did not try to interrupt Ning Cheng.

  ……

  Outside the Second Revenant Star, a female cultivator standing at the front of a flight-type weapon suddenly turned her head in the direction of the Second Revenant Star.

  She immediately stopped her flight-type weapon, and muttered to herself while looking in the direction of the Second Revenant Star, “Sacred Master said that someone had taken away Sacred Lady Qionghua. How could she appear at the Second Revenant Star?”

  The Celestial Wheels behind this female cultivator had already merged into a considerably sized wheel that gave off a feeling of vastness. Apparently, she was at least a Heaven Seated Powerhouse. She truly was Everlasting Sacred Shrine’s Heaven Seated Powerhouse, Mi Jin, but she had not specifically come here to look for Sacred Lady Qionghua. However, now that she knew that Sacred Lady Qionghua had appeared on the Second Revenant Star, she definitely would not pretend to know otherwise.

  Mi Jin quickly responded by sending a message to the Second Revenant Star. Sacred Lady Qionghua was the Everlasting Sacred Shrine’s hope. The Sacred Master had divined that Qionghua was the most suitable woman to be the Sacred Lady of their Everlasting Sacred Shrine. She would be the one to lead the Everlasting Sacred Shrine to new glory.

  After the collapse of the Immortal Jade Star, Sacred Lady Qionghua had disappeared, and no one could trace where she had gone. Later, after Everlasting Sacred Shrine looked everywhere, they made a hypothesis that some other sect or academy had most likely kidnapped Sacred Lady Qionghua.

  However, Mi Jin became aware that Sacred Lady Qionghua was on the Second Revenant Star, and if she delayed things by even half a moment, Qionghua most likely would slip through their hands again.

  The cultivator who dared to kidnap the Everlasting Sacred Shrine’s Sacred Lady definitely should not be a simple person. She decided to trace and then blend herself into Qionghua’s aura after approaching them before attacking the perpetrator using stealth.

  Even if it were a Life and Death Powerhouse that had taken away Qionghua, no one would be able to notice her approach unless they actively looked for her. Before anyone sensed a change in Qionghua’s aura, she would have finished with her sneak attack and would have already taken her away.

  Ning Cheng was still in thought when Shi Qionghua, sitting next to him, stood up and threw herself onto him.

  “Bang…..” A dull noise erupted as a force pushed Shi Qionghua back while spraying blood onto Ning Cheng’s neck.

  Ning Cheng instantly realised that someone had attacked him and that Shi Qionghua had tried to save him. At this moment, anger quickly clouded over his mind. Ning Cheng did not even think about how Shi Qionghua suddenly and consciously tried to rescue him. Ning Cheng immediately grabbed several medicinal pills and put them into Shi Qionghua’s mouth. During that same motion, he also brought out a spear.

  Raging killing intent wrapped around him and the cultivators around Ning Cheng quickly retreated. Ning Cheng’s killing force had grown so strong that it completely pulverised some of the furniture around him.

  At this moment, even if Chuan Xinlou and his people appeared in this place, Ning Cheng couldn’t have controlled his anger, not to mention that this place was just a tiny Celestial River City. Qionghua had already suffered through too much pain because of him, and they had finally reunited after a long time. Yet, she once again ended up with severe injuries because she helped him in stopping the sneak attack. If he could actually bear the anger and rage that filled his heart, then he would not be Ning Cheng.

  At the same time, he also felt that just before the attack hit Shi Qionghua, it had grown a hundred times weaker. But that did not matter to Ning Cheng. The most important thing was that someone sneak-attacked him and Qionghua helped him.

  Mi Jin looked at Shi Qionghua in shock, she had never expected Sacred Lady Qionghua would not only stand up but also help the fellow she wanted to kill. In the instant when her attack was just about to land on Shi Qionghua, she immediately recalled 99% of her strength. Even if it were the case, the remaining power still severely injured Shi Qionghua. Moreover, the powerful backlash of pulling back her strength at the last moment also caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood. If Mi Jin hadn’t recalled 99% of her power, then even ten Shi Qionghuas would have died.

  For the Sacred Lady Qionghua to perceive her killing intent was a reasonable matter because she had fused herself with Qionghua’s aura to attack. To be frank, it was equivalent to Qionghua herself attacking the cultivator next to her. Therefore, Qionghua would be the first to sense her killing intent. Moreover, this killing intent was directed towards the cultivator next to her.

  However, she truly had not expected that Sacred Lady Qionghua would actually choose to put her life at risk to help stop the attack on this cultivator. Recalling her Celestial Essence, the backlash ended up even hurting her internally.

  These thoughts had just passed through Mi Jin’s mind when Ning Cheng’s spear suddenly materialised in front of her. This spear seemed to have sucked in everything around it, creating a spacial whirlpool. Ning Cheng had wholly utilised his Celestial Essence’s killing force and Domain and integrated it into his spear. The spear within the centre of the maelstrom then transformed into a spear line, which then instantly appeared in front of Mi Jin’s eyes.

  It was a technique that Ning Cheng had derived from the Angry Axe’s Second Form, Tornado, and had displayed it using the spear. Although it was a similar technique, the power had reached a very high level.

  At this moment, Ning Cheng’s Domain had completely enveloped Mi Jin, and it seemed that she couldn’t move at all.

  Mi Jin finally sobered from her shock of Shi Qionghua’s sudden life-risking manoeuvre to save Ning Cheng. With a slight tremble, two white lights erupted from her hands.

  As soon as the two white lights came out, they transformed into ripples. These ripples created tiny gaps within Ning Cheng’s mighty Celestial River Domain before cracking it apart with a fine �
��katcha’ sound. A sound similar to a glass cracking.

  The ripples formed by the two white lights then converged and manage to block Ning Cheng’s spear in a flash.

  “Boom…..” The violent impact force created by the explosion of Celestial Essence kept forcing Ning Cheng back till he finally crashed into the wall of the rest stop. Although the rest stop had reinforced walls, it could not block the force of Ning Cheng and Mi Jin’s combined killing intent formed by their imposing auras and the explosion of Celestial Essence, before quickly collapsing.

  All the cultivators within the rest stop immediately rushed out, along with Ji Luofei with Shi Qionghua in her arms.

  The cultivators who rushed out of the rest stop did not run far; rather, they all felt shocked to see two cultivators fighting. One had to know that anyone caught fighting within the city would be put to death personally by the Celestial River King. Yet these two cultivators not only dared to duke it out in the Coherence Pearl City, they even smashed apart a rest stop in the process.

  Although Mi Jin managed to block Ning Cheng’s killing move in a hurry and even forced Ning Cheng back, she had to take a few steps back to stabilise her body. This impact worsened the injuries inflicted on her due to the previous backlash.

  She also realised that the cultivator she just exchanged moves with had not stepped into the Heaven Seated Realm. However, this cultivator actually possessed means that could rival Heaven Seated Cultivators. Although she did not feel fear in light of this, it still shocked her to the core.

  Even if she had suffered severe injuries due to the backlash of recalling her attack at the last moment, she felt surprised that a cultivator who had not reached the Heaven Seated Realm could actually exchange attacks with her in a seamless manner. Such a thing was truly shocking to someone like her. This cultivator definitely was a powerhouse within powerhouses. She had never heard of any cultivator below the Heaven Seated Realm, who had still not severed their Dao Filth, capable of fighting against a cultivator in the Heaven Seated Realm.
