  “Senior Apprentice Sister Sacred Master….” Mi Jin quickly stepped forward to stop her.

  Mi Hui looked at Mi Jin with a sombre look before speaking, “Mi Jin. It looks like you’re getting more and more confused. From now on, don’t casually bring in women who sleep around with men into my Sacred Shrine.”

  Mi Jin did not dare to refute, but she still bowed and spoke, “Senior Apprentice Sister Sacred Master, Sacred Lady Qionghua…..”

  “The Everlasting Sacred Tree is the most precious treasure of our Sacred Shrine. Qionghua did not obey the rules, made friends with evil spirits, and even entangled with men. Is she still qualified to be a Sacred Lady? She is not eligible even to ask for cultivating beneath the Everlasting Sacred Tree. Don’t even try mentioning about this from now.” Mi Hui spoke with a very disgruntled tone.

  Hearing those words coming directly from Sacred Master’s mouth, Mi Jin did not dare to speak any more about it and hurried gave a bow to her. She had truly thought that Sacred Master valued Sacred Lady Qionghua like her own child. In fact, Sacred Master had truly appreciated Sacred Lady Qionghua in the past. Who knew that Sacred Master’s attitude towards Sacred Lady Qionghua would make a complete reversal after she advanced to the Eternal Realm? Compared to the past, it was like a contrast between noon and midnight.

  Seeing that Mi Jin did not go on talking about the Sacred Lady, Mi Hui nodded. Her expressions softened a bit before speaking up, “There are too many guests today. You can go and entertain them and also announce that my Everlasting Sacred Shrine is going to choose another Sacred Lady.”

  “Yes.” Mi Jin bowed. Although Sacred Master had always been strong compared to her, the Sacred Master right now gave her a completely different feeling. This Sacred master felt like a complete stranger to her. Not only was she strong, she even gave off the impression that forced people to revere her as the sole orthodoxy.

  “Wait….” Mi Hui once again called out Mi Jin.

  Mi Jin, in fact, was very fond of Sacred Lady Qionghua, but she also felt extreme fear regarding Ning Cheng. She didn’t want Everlasting Sacred Shrine to nurse a feud with Ning Cheng, nor did she want Qionghua to fall like that. Once Sacred Master decided not to let Shi Qionghua cultivate under the Everlasting Sacred Tree, Qionghua would definitely die. At that point, Everlasting Sacred Shrine and Ning Cheng would become sworn enemies, with hatred so deep, it would be impossible for the two of them to coexist under the same sky.

  Mi Hui looked at Mi Jin and spoke, “Qionghua ignored the Sacred Shrine’s kindness, entangled with men, and even used the forbidden technique, which seriously violates the rules set down within the Sacred Shrine. Therefore, she deserves the retribution coming her way. Go give her a swift ending, and take care of that Ji Luofei. As for Ning Cheng, I will take the opportunity to send out an arrest warrant during this ceremony.”

  Mi Hui said this because she hadn’t come out yet. Once she came out, she would have known that Ning Cheng’s arrest warrant had already been posted to every corner.

  “Ah….” Mi Jin looked at the Sacred Master in shock. She couldn’t have imagined that the Sacred Master would actually take such a hard stance. Not only kill Shi Qionghua but even Ji Luofei.

  If she truly did this, then in the future once Ning Cheng returned, would there even be a speck of dust from the Everlasting Sacred Shrine remaining? With Ning Cheng’s potential, it didn’t seem impossible for him to reach the Eternal Realm by himself.

  But because Sacred Master had now become an Eternal-level Powerhouse, she couldn’t dare to say that no one below the Heaven Seated Realm could pose a threat to him. It would be akin to slapping Sacred Master in her face.

  ……

  “Sister Luofei.” Shi Qionghua sat up weekly and called out after seeing Ji Luofei coming into the room. A moment later, she suddenly felt that something was wrong and stood up, “Luofei, are you hurt?”

  Ji Luofei quickly came up and held Shi Qionghua from falling, while she spoke up with an anxiety-laden voice, “Big Sister Qionghua, Sacred Master won’t let you cultivate under the Everlasting Sacred Tree. She even slapped me away from her. I’m afraid she will kill us eventually. And …”

  Ji Luofei had been trapped in the Bridge of Storms for so many years that she no longer was the same cultivator from the past who knew nothing about the world.

  Shi Qionghua’s eyes flashed with a hint of despair, and she slowly sat down before speaking, “I finally understand why Uncle Master Mi Cheng would rather leave the Everlasting Sacred Shrine and settle down in the Changing Earth Mountains. Looks like she was right.”

  “Sister Qionghua, when I first came in, Senior Apprentice Sister Yiyi told me that someone seemed to have issued search warrants for Ning Cheng. I’m afraid that we can’t stay here anymore. Once this person realises that Ning Cheng is our Lord Husband, we’ll be in an even worse situation.” Ji Luofei’s tone grew even more worried.

  Just then, Jing Yiyi rushed in eagerly.

  “Senior Apprentice Sister Yiyi…” Shi Qionghua called out quickly.

  Jing Yiyi spoke up with anxiety, “I just saw the wanted poster. It definitely is Ning Cheng and is personally issued by a mighty expert. Junior Apprentice Sister Qionghua, you should hurry up and leave this place with Junior Apprentice Sister Luofei…”

  Shi Qionghua calmly asked, “Is Sacred Master really going to kill us?”

  Jing Yiyi did not reply to Shi Qionghua’s question. Instead, she took out a talisman and stuffed it into Shi Qionghua’s hand, “Junior Apprentice Sister Qionghua, this is something Uncle Master Mi Jin left me. She asked me to tell you to leave Everlasting Sacred Shrine as soon as possible.”

  “Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Sister Yiyi, please send our thanks to Uncle Master Mi Jin.” Ji Luofei picked up the Escape Talisman from Shi Qionghua’s hands and not waiting for Shi Qionghua to speak up, she quickly put Shi Qionghua over her back before leaving the room.

  ……

  Everlasting Sacred Shrine was in full joy at this time, and nobody cared that Ji Luofei and Shi Qionghua had left. As for Sacred Master Mi Hui, she didn’t put the two ants in her eyes.

  In a Celestial River Battleship, Ji Luofei gasped and spoke up, “Finally managed to escape. Big Sister Qionghua, why did Jing Yiyi help us?”

  “I’ve always been inseparable from Senior Apprentice Sister Yiyi, and Lord Husband also saved her life. Although it was Uncle Master Mi Jin who gave the talisman to her, she took a great risk this time in helping us …” Shi Qionghua spoke with a sigh, but before she could finish her words, she fell down unconscious.

  Ji Luofei quickly rushed up, picked up Shi Qionghua, and cried out in anxiety, “Sister Qionghua…..”

  ……

  This was not the first time that Ning Cheng used the Mysterious Yellow Bead to enter a spacial collapse. According to his experience, as long as he waited for a period, he would break away from the chaotic space into a relatively stable zone.

  But this time, the situation went beyond Ning Cheng’s expectations. He stayed in the Mysterious Yellow Bead for nearly five or six days, yet the Mysterious Yellow Bead still rolled around within the spacial storms and maelstroms without stopping.

  Two more days later, Ning Cheng stopped observing the scene outside. Instead, he took out the remaining Perpetual Moon Pills and started cultivating in the Mysterious Yellow Bead.

  Cultivating within the Mysterious Yellow Bead not only doubled his cultivation speed, but it also enhanced his ability to comprehend by a few times compared to cultivating on the outside. Ning Cheng started to gain a deeper understanding of this unique characteristic. In the first few months of cultivating inside, he had already reached the peak of middle-level Undead Realm. If it were outside, even if he had enough Perpetual Moon Pills and the aid of Mysterious Yellow Aura, it would have still taken a few years to get close to the middle-level of the Undead Realm.

  Daoist Crow’s legacy definitely brought significant effects to Ning Cheng. Even if he just consume
d the cultivation resources, the ten million plus Perpetual Moon Pills would be more than enough for him to cultivate for a long while.

  Four months later, Ning Cheng rushed directly into the later stages of the Undead Realm. Seven months later, Ning Cheng’s cultivation finally reached the full-circle of the Undead Realm. Reaching the full-circle of the Undead Realm, and feeling the tumbling Celestial Essence within his body, Ning Cheng immediately wanted to find a Heaven Seated Starry Sky Demonic Beast to check out the strength and the might of his Celestial Essence.

  In the eighth month, Ning Cheng finally stopped cultivating. His cultivation eventually stabilised at the full-circle of the Undead Realm. Once he surmounted the tribulation, he would immediately step into Heaven’s Mandate Realm. Ning Cheng knew that he was unlike other cultivators. Other cultivators did not need to surmount tribulations when advancing from the Undead to the Heaven’s Mandate Realm, but he had to overcome an ordeal every time he had to break through a realm.

  Sensing that the Mysterious Yellow Bead didn’t seem to be rolling around as much as before, Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness barely managed to squeeze out. Through that, he found that there were fewer spacial maelstroms on the outside, and even spacial dislocations and storms were no longer visible.

  A few days later, Ning Cheng finally came out of the Mysterious Yellow Bead and brought the Mysterious Yellow Bead back in the depths of his Zifu. When he finally came out, in addition to a few chunks of meteorites that whizzed past in the distance, there were only a few Void Wind Edges around him. As for the spacial maelstroms and cracks, they no longer appeared.

  Ning Cheng guessed that he should have finally come out of the spacial crack zone, and realised that he had ended up travelling through the interface crack for over eight months within the Mysterious Yellow Bead. He couldn’t estimate how far he had moved, but he was sure that this was not his starry sky universe.

  Whether it was the same or not, the most crucial thing for Ning Cheng was to find a place to surmount the incoming tribulation and advance to Heaven’s Mandate Realm.

  Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness swept out and only found the void that surrounded him from all sides. He could not find any sort of mark nor any battleships or even any sort of flight-type weapons within its range.

  Ten days later, Ning Cheng stopped over a broken meteorite. Since he could not find any land here, he could only surmount the tribulation within the void. However, Ning Cheng did not feel much worried about it, it wasn’t his first time to overcome a trial within the void. Moreover, he believed that, with his current strength, he should easily be able to take on the tribulation thunderbolts for the Heaven’s Mandate Thunder Tribulation.

  The Perpetual Moon Pills turned into a Celestial Essence storm, which completely covered Ning Cheng’s body without even Ning Cheng taking control of it. Ning Cheng’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Undead Realm, and the congealed Celestial Essence within his body had also reached such high levels of enrichment that it automatically tried to look for a weak point to lessen the pressure.

  At this moment, Ning Cheng stood up on the broken meteorite and could only hear the buzzing of Celestial Essence within his body. In the past, every time Ning Cheng had to break through to a new realm, he needed to break down the barrier to that realm by himself while controlling his Celestial Essence to grow stronger. But at this moment, he didn’t even try to break open that barrier at all; rather, the Celestial Essence pent up inside of him managed to break the shackles restricting his path of cultivation by itself. Once the cultivation barrier blew open, it immediately increased the speed with which Ning Cheng absorbed the pile of Perpetual Moon Pills outside. The pills quickly turned into Celestial Essence, allowing his cultivation climb at a rapid pace.

  “Boom-Boom….” His Celestial Essence had not risen to its peak yet when lightning arcs started to rain down one after another.

  Ning Cheng didn’t even prepare any defences. It would have been a different matter if those lightning arcs descended before breaking through. But this time, he had already broken through before the tribulation fell; therefore, he felt confident that this tribulation would not pose many challenges.

  This phenomenon once again highlighted the heaven defying nature of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. He had continuously cultivated for a long time within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, and it was also because of the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s heaven defying characteristic that he could advance first before facing the thunder tribulation.

  As those dense lightning arcs landed on Ning Cheng, it only managed to disintegrate Ning Cheng’s robes, before Ning Cheng completely absorbed the thunder source contained within the lightning bolts. The first wave, which consisted of a dozen lightning arcs, only managed to leave behind a few bloody scratches on his body along with some slightly burnt hair. As Ning Cheng’s Celestial Essence circulated once, those bloodstains also disappeared without a trace.

  It felt as if the thunder tribulation had absolutely no effect on Ning Cheng. The second wave of the thunder tribulation was also not a lot stronger compared to the first wave of the thunder tribulation; rather, the only difference was that it contained a dozen more lightning arcs. As for Thunder Pearls and Thunder Waterfalls, which Ning Cheng had encountered in the past tribulations, he didn’t see them at all.

  Ning Cheng felt a little disappointed seeing this situation. He could only absorb the thunder source from these lightning bolts to try to condense his own lightning arc-based attack. As for using this thunder tribulation’s lightning arcs to quench his body, Ning Cheng did think about it but quickly gave up on that idea.

  Although this thunder tribulation might be immensely powerful for ordinary people, it really could not satisfy his body forging needs at all.

  The thunderous booms continued as lightning arcs fell down one after another. Apart from using these lightning arcs to consolidate the cultivation improvement, Ning Cheng also used it to try to condense his own thunder-based technique. It was just that this thunder-based technique was not something that came from an inheritance, but something that he came up on his own.

  Although Ning Cheng did not feel much pressure in surmounting this thunder tribulation, within this empty void, the dense lightning arcs still looked very conspicuous.

  “Katcha….” The same moment that Ning Cheng finished consolidating his cultivation, the meteorite under Ning Cheng’s feet finally crumbled to dust under the continuous onslaught of the lightning arcs.

  Moments later, the thunder tribulation over his head finally disappeared. It felt as if this thunder tribulation had only appeared to help him consolidate his cultivation.

  Ning Cheng had just cleaned himself and changed into a fresh set of robes when his Spiritual Consciousness detected a shadow flying towards him.

  A moment later, the shadow finally stopped beside Ning Cheng, revealing it to be a high-grade airship-type Dao Artefact.

  On the deck of the airship stood three cultivators: one man and two women. Of them, a young woman stood in front, while the other woman and the man stood behind her on either side. Apparently, those two served under this young woman.

  Ning Cheng’s pupils contracted slightly on seeing those three people. He noticed that although the two female cultivators were Heaven’s Mandate Cultivators, the male cultivator with them already had reached the Heaven Seated Realm.

  Although he managed to kill Shang Mouliang back then, it was only because of the favourable conditions of both time and place, while also exhausting all his means. Even before that, when he battled with
Mi Jin, Mi Jin had already suffered severe injuries due to the backlash from recalling her strength; as such, she did not dare to fight him with her full power. At most, she only used 30% to 40% of her cultivation against him. Even so, he still had to suffer some serious injuries.

  Although he had grown stronger by a few notches compared to the past, Ning Cheng still didn’t think that he could beat an actual Heaven Seated Cultivator head-on. The Heaven’s Mandate Realm and the Heaven Seated Realm had an almost unfathomable ravine between them, this ravine was not something that could be made up with something else.

  “A few moments ago, we observed some thunder rays lingering around this place, was it because of you?” Ning Cheng had guessed it right. The first one to ask a question was the female cultivator with the Heaven’s Mandate Cultivation standing in the front.

  Ning Cheng cupped his fists and spoke with neither humble nor aloof tone, “Yes, I was trying out my thunder-based technique. Looks like it ended up creating a bit of noise.”

  “Are you a cultivator with a primary Thunder Spiritual Root?” The female cultivator asked again in surprise.

  Ning Cheng hesitated a little before replying, “No, but I have a thunder-attributed technique that I can cultivate using a secret method.”

  The female cultivator nodded but did not ask any further questions. Ning Cheng had already shown enough politeness in answering her questions. Generally speaking, it was not something proper for her to ask someone about their Spiritual Roots and techniques.

  Ning Cheng was just about to ask where this place was when the female cultivator once again asked, “Are you from the Eternal Night Domain?”

  “Eternal Night Domain?” Ning Cheng repeated the words in surprise, before he finally responded, “I’m a starry sky wanderer. Although I wandered around in the starry skies for many years, I still ended up losing my bearings somewhere down the road inside a spacial collapse, but I’m pretty adaptable and flexible with things. Later, when I finally managed to gain control of my own starry skies battleship, I flew around for hundreds of years before reaching this place. To be honest, before meeting you all, I was planning to find someone to ask for directions.”
