The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  Ning Cheng was still the last to enter, but he did so only after arranging several Sealing Arrays at the entrance of the Ancient Shadow Temple. Although everyone knew about Ning Cheng’s action, no one felt willing enough to stand up to stop him.

  Since Ning Cheng didn’t even bother giving some face to Chuan Xinlou, everyone could imagine that whoever stood in the way, would receive the same treatment. Moreover, instead of stopping Ning Cheng, they would only be offending Ning Cheng.

  The dark passageway was not a long one, and in just a few moments, everyone reached a pentagonal-shaped hall.

  This pentagonal-shaped hall also had a restriction covering it. However, by the time that Ning Cheng arranged the sealing array formations and reached this place, the rest had already finished breaking open the restriction and were just about to enter. Five golden chests appeared in the five corners of the hall. Even though more restrictions covered each chest, one still couldn’t look straight at them without squinting because of the almost-blinding golden light.

  Ning Cheng had always tuned his senses to a very high level when it came to seeking out treasures. Therefore, he quickly rushed to the box in the middle and right in front of him the moment he got there and threw out several array flags to protect his position. Out of the five chests, no matter what the others contained, choosing the middle one was always the best move, as it was the closest. Moreover, the chest in the middle would not be the worst no matter if the previous owner arranged the items from left to right or right to left. If the treasures in it turned out to be the best, he would have definitely picked up a bargain.

  Ning Cheng responded quickly, but the others could not react in time. But despite that, Zhangkang Tianji, Yi Jiufeng and her follower Shi Jinyu, Qiao Jierui and Devil Domain’s Shi Haoyan each occupied a corner. While Striking Order, Tang Yitang, and Shen Mao, Wu Hong, Xun Zhihe, Mu Hao and Gua Sangan lay siege to the only remaining corner.

  The only ones who couldn’t pick a chest were Chuan Xinlou and Jinming Qianbo, Fu Yingkui and Chuan Xinlou’s follower Yang Yu.

  Jinming Qianbo didn’t have the strength to compete with anyone here and had decided to forgo the opportunity, while Fu Yingkui felt so scared of Ning Cheng that he didn’t dare to snatch anything from him. As for Chuan Xinlou and Yang Yu, they couldn’t grab a corner because Ning Cheng had already occupied the position they wanted.

  In fact, when the five chests appeared, Chuan Xinlou had the same thought process as Ning Cheng and wanted to snatch the one in the middle. It’s just that Ning Cheng came at the most opportune moment and had rushed in at full speed, grabbing that location before Chuan Xinlou.

  By the time Chuan Xinlou arrived in front of Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng had already deployed several defensive array formations around that particular corner. Ning Cheng had already realised that he wouldn’t be able to break the restriction and take away the box in a short time. Therefore, he simply decided to set up defensive array formations around the area to protect the chest.

  “Get out of the way.” At this moment, Chuan Xinlou no longer cared about losing face. After finally reaching this place and not obtaining anything, why would he care about his face anymore?

  Ning Cheng looked at Chuan Xinlou and spoke with a sarcastic voice, “What? Ready to rob from others already?”

  Chuan Xinlou gave a cold reply, “You didn’t even do anything to the defensive array around this hall; so, what right do you have to snatch a chest?”

  Ning Cheng laughed, “I’ve seen shameless people before, but it’s the first time I’ve seen someone as shameless as you. Didn’t do anything? Did you go blind? When you came in, who arranged the array formation outside? Did I ask your help to set up those sealing arrays? Yet, here you are talking about shamelessness in front of me.”

  Chuan Xinlou looked at Ning Cheng as if he was looking at a dead person, before slightly turning his head and speaking to Yang Yu behind him, “I’m going to take a look at Sect Master Ning’s abilities and see if it’s as good as his mouth. You don’t need to step in.”

  Yang Yu immediately retreated; however, everyone here understood that Chuan Xinlou’s words were not just for Yang Yu but for the other Heavenly Emperors present here. He didn’t want people to talk nonsense on the sidelines when he and Ning Cheng started fighting.

  Energy of a pimp – I could be translating it wrong though so do take this with a grain of salt, but this seems to be a slang term used for ridiculing people of low societal status who act high and mighty. It doesn’t particularly have an equivalent English translation (or at least none of us can think of one) but it has two literal translations: ‘an older male owner of a brothel’ or ‘pimp’s vital energy’, both don’t seem to fit the context, so I had to do my best to modify it a bit.

  Chuan Xinlou looked very casual. He calmly raised his hand and threw out the white pagoda still hovering in the air. He didn’t bring out any attack-type weapons, which showed that he didn’t put Ning Cheng in his eyes at all.

  Ning Cheng wanted Chuan Xinlou to look down on him. However, he decided not to use the Nirvana Spear. Although sturdy and resilient, the Nirvana Spear was only an unprocessed raw material. It would not provide him with much help in a fight of this level.

  Instead, Ning Cheng took out a different spear, a pseudo-top ranked Dao Artefact. Ning Cheng created this weapon during the arrangement of the Star Protecting Grand Array. Moreover, it was the best weapon of the batch.

  Ning Cheng had not yet fully activated the spear when Chuan Xinlou’s white pagoda shot out several deadly looking white beams of light one after another.

  Ning Cheng, as a body-refining powerhouse with a Starry Sky Body, didn’t initially care about these white beams of light. However, when these light beams tore through his domain, Ning Cheng knew that he had underestimated their power. The white beams quickly tore through his domain and carried a faint aural trace of Dao Charms, which had almost instantly suppressed him to the point that he found it somewhat difficult to breathe. It felt as if these white lights wanted him to kneel.

  Chuan Xinlou hasn’t even used his killing move, yet that faint aural trace had suppressed him to the point of having difficulty in breathing. It showed everyone that Ning Cheng’s imposing aura was the one on the losing end.

  This Chuan Xinlou truly has the strength to back up his words.

  Ning Cheng initially wanted to keep the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort hidden, but at this time, how could dare do such a thing? The next moment, he brought out the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort. The moment it came out, its overflowing thunder rays created another vague projection of a fortress around it. Although the thunder rays that made up this new fortress grew indistinct closer to the centre, one could clearly make out the ancient walls at the edge. Regardless, the flashing thunder that flowed through the thunder fort gave it a mighty appearance.

  “PaPaPaPa….” A moment later, the white rays of light from Chuan Xinlou’s white pagoda collided with the thunder rays of Ning Cheng’s Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, creating bursts of crackling-like noises as the white beams of light exploded. At the same time, the suppressive force around Ning Cheng also disappeared almost instantly, which made him feel quite relieved.

  The cultivators standing on the sidelines looked on in shocked silence; not only did Chuan Xinlou’s display of strength shock them, but the power of Ning Cheng’s heaven-defying thunder fort had also surprised them thoroughly.

  Moreover, the spectating Heavenly Emperors had to work together to negate the explosive force and still suffered injuries, but the explosion had no visible effect on this hall.

  “Good thunder fort, it really is a good weapon…..” Yi Jiufeng was a fanatic when it came to collecting wea
pons. Therefore, the moment she saw Ning Cheng’s thunder fort, her eyes instantly lit up.

  Everyone understood that Ning Cheng most likely was not an opponent against Chuan Xinlou based on the previous exchange. The fight hadn’t even started, and Chuan Xinlou hadn’t even gone all out, yet Ning Cheng already looked like a rat trapped in a box.

  When Chuan Xinlou saw Ning Cheng’s thunder fort, his eyes also lit up, “Sect Master Ning’s treasury seems to contain some interesting things. It even has a thunder fort that can block the circulation of my Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda’s Dao Charm. But if Sect Master Ning only has such skills, then better not blame me for being rude……”

  Ning Cheng gave a calm retort, “I may have more treasures, but they can’t compare to your Good Fortune Treasure.”

  Knowing that Ning Cheng was very good at sophistry, Chuan Xinlou chose not to talk to Ning Cheng anymore. Instead, he just chuckled and spoke in a calm voice, “Sword Dao Mountain…..”

  “Chichi…..” Sounds similar to something tearing the void suddenly emerged. At the same time, the white radiance filled with Dao Charm that circulated around the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda suddenly reversed. In its place, thousands of cyan-coloured sword-lights started condensing before shooting out from the periphery of the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda.

  These thousands of cyan sword lights then transformed into a sword array, which completely locked down the area surrounding Ning Cheng. At the same time, the Dao Charm flowing around the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda flowed out and connected with the sword formation to form several sword waterfalls that blotted the sky.

  Stuck under Chuan Xinlou’s sword array filled with his weapon’s Dao Charm and domain, ordinary Eternal Realm cultivators would find it impossible to move. If they couldn’t even move, they might as well give up resisting at all. Moreover, although it was a spirit technique, it was much more effective and more powerful compared to other spirit techniques. Using a weapon to manifest a sword waterfall that could suppress space directly, it left no room for any form of resistance.

  Moreover, although these sword waterfalls had merged with Chuan Xinlou’s Dao Charm to become powerful enough to suppress space, these sword waterfalls were not the end of its transformation. After connecting these sword waterfalls together, the sword waterfalls then suddenly turned upside down, forming into sword peaks, looking just like an endless mountain range. Any living creature, trapped within this inter-changing sword waterfall and mountain range, would turn into dregs within seconds.

  Ning Cheng’s Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort kept shrinking under this spirit technique, and the thunder rays flowing around it started disappearing one after another, annihilated by the sword lights. Under the continuous onslaught, the blue thunder fort’s projection finally started crumbling. In the end, it looked nothing like a fort but more like a dilapidated ruin.

  “Boundless Maximal Flames……” Ning Cheng remained calm. Although he could feel that a gap still existed between him and Chuan Xinlou, Chuan Xinlou can only dream about killing him off this quickly.

  “Boom…..” A fiery explosion ripped through the centre of the sword mountain.

  A raging void collapse followed, and the sword mountain and the sword waterfalls formed by Chuan Xinlou disappeared into the violent void collapse. A moment later, a horrifying flame burst out from the origin of the collapse, followed by a flame trace, an axe intent, and a hint of spear intent.

  The explosion following the void collapse had already blown away 70% of Chuan Xinlou’s sword mountain, while the flame trace and the murderous axe and spear intents annihilated the rest.

  After that blinding explosion, the entire hall turned quite once again, while Ning Cheng stood still in the same spot. Except for slightly messy hair, no one could tell that he was in a disadvantageous position just a moment ago. As for the Chuan Xinlou’s Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda, it had visibly dimmed, which forced Chuan Xinlou to look at Ning Cheng in some disbelief.

  “It was not a real space spirit technique just now, but a spirit technique infinitely close to the laws of space.” Yi Jiufeng sucked in a cold breath and spoke in a low voice.

  Qiao Jierui sneered, “Infinitely close to the Laws of Time, and even infinitely close to the Laws of Space. Hehe, let’s all just get a fake spirit technique and forget about the rest. Since everything is just a fake, why do we need to put in a lot of effort to cultivate and grow stronger?”

  Nobody spoke or chimed in; everybody understood that even if Ning Cheng used a fake space spirit technique, it was not a small matter at all. If they were in Ning Cheng’s spot, even they couldn’t guarantee a successful block against Chuan Xinlou’s Sword Dao Mountain.

  “No wonder you’re so arrogant. You indeed have a few tricks up your sleeves, using fake laws to cover up the flames you use.” Chuan Xinlou taunted. At the same time, the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda started powering up again, transforming into a tall white pagoda. If it weren’t for the temple having a ceiling so high that no one could see it, this Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda would have most likely broken through it.

  This time, the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda directly smashed down towards Ning Cheng, causing Ning Cheng’s Celestial River Domain to crack apart like a spider web. This Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda even suppressed the newly re-formed Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, forcing it to shrink once again. This time, the lightning arcs around the blue thunder fort did not pose even half a threat to the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda.

  “Kacha……” The blue thunder fort issued a crisp sound, which forced Ning Cheng to spit out a mouthful of blood. Chuan Xinlou’s strength had reached such a high degree that he couldn’t put up even a decent defence with the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort.

  Seeing Ning Cheng spit out blood, Chuan Xinlou sneered, “You think you’re the only one who can use fire? Let me show you my Burning Sky Eroding Sun…..”

  Burning Sky Eroding Sun was actually a spirit technique; rather, the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda formed because of this spirit technique. With Ning Cheng successfully angering Chuan Xinlou, Chuan Xinlou decided to use this spirit technique in tandem with the pagoda to crush Ning Cheng into slag, despite having access to other spirit techniques.

  A powerful suppressive force covered the entire hall. Not to mention Ning Cheng, even the cultivators on the sidelines started to feel difficulty in breathing.

  Striking Order’s eyes flashed with horror. He had thought that joining forces with Ning Cheng would scare Chuan Xinlou into taking a step back. But now he understood that if Chuan Xinlou wanted to kill him, then even if he teamed up with Ning Cheng, it wouldn’t make much of a difference. Chuan Xinlou’s strength practically knew no bounds, and he couldn’t even dare to imagine the limits of it.

  Despite Ning Cheng bearing the full brunt of it, he could still feel the suppressive force acutely while breathing even when standing on the sidelines. Could he have survived if Chuan Xinlou had directed this power at him? He knew his own limits and knew that he couldn’t be like Ning Cheng, who still could stand while facing this horrifying suppressive force. If it’s this difficult for Ning Cheng, then it’s already a blessing that he hadn’t broken off all ties with Chuan Xinlou.

  Not only Striking Order but Yi Jiufeng, Qiao Jierui, Zhangkang Tianji and the others also felt the same fear. Chuan Xinlou rarely if ever used his real skills, so today was the first time for most to witness at least a fraction of Chuan Xinlou’s real power.

  Seeing Ning Cheng vomit another mouthful of blood under the suppression, Chuan Xinlou taunted him once again, “Sect Master Ning, this isn’t even my most powerful Dao Charm spirit technique. If you can actually withstand it, I might consider showing you what a real Dao Charm spirit technique looks like. Unfortunately, looking at your conditions, it doesn’t look like you can hold for much longer under my Burning Sky Eroding Sun.”

  Chuan Xinlou’s words caused the hearts of Yi Jiufeng and the others to sink even further. Yi Jiufeng al
ways had the impression that Zhangkang Tianji was the most powerful of the four. But now it seems that Chuan Xinlou, who usually laughs around and reads a lot, was the most terrifying of all.

  “Boom….” Immediately following Chuan Xinlou’s words, a blazing white sun violently burst out from the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda. Everyone could feel the suppressive force even when the blazing sun hadn’t come out. But now that it actually came out, the horrifying heat made the suppression even more unbearable.

  Tang Yitang and Striking Order looked at Ning Cheng sympathetically. Under such conditions, it would already be a miracle if one could use a defensive weapon against this horrifying burning sun, let alone fight back.

  Striking Order quickly made up his mind. After this incident, he would definitely return to Chuan Xinlou’s camp once again. Even if Chuan Xinlou wanted to take away his Striking Order Starry Sky, he would have to let it go.

  Ning Cheng felt neither sorrow nor joy. When it came to Chuan Xinlou’s blazing sun, he didn’t bring out any weapon. Although this Burning Sky Eroding Sun looked powerful, as long as it did not make physical contact with him, it would have no effect on his Starry Sky Body.

  Just when the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda and the seemingly boundless white blazing sun were about to completely envelop Ning Cheng, and burn him into slag, the long spear in Ning Cheng’s hand slowly pierced out.

  The way Ning Cheng controlled the long spear looked as if Ning Cheng was not attacking his opponent at all, but sending a flower to his lover. A gentle, soft and graceful push without any hints of impatience.

  “What does he want to do?” Everyone looked at Ning Cheng in surprise. No one knew what Ning Cheng wanted to do.

  Something’s not right; the sky burning sun doesn’t seem to have any effect on him, strange…

  Yi Jiufeng was the first to notice this difference in Ning Cheng, and her eyes immediately lit up. Chuan Xinlou also felt something wrong. Ning Cheng didn’t seem to show any fear towards his Burning Sky Eroding Sun Spirit Technique or the pressure from his Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda that had transformed into a giant peak thousands of feet tall.
