  When Chuan Xinlou reached out, the starry sky around the crowd suddenly compressed and almost solidified. Even Ning Cheng’s Starry Sky Wheel felt as if it had fallen into a swamp and struggled to move.

  At the same time, a Dao Charm handprint, almost undetectable with one’s spiritual consciousness, started to wrap itself around Ning Cheng’s Starry Sky Wheel. No matter who it was, everyone could tell that Chuan Xinlou was about to catch the Starry Sky Wheel.

  The violent suppression from the Dao Charm handprint caused Ning Cheng’s face to turn pale. This level of pressure almost forced him to spit out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, he understood that the distance between him and Chuan Xinlou had not shrunk at all. Instead, it had grown even further.

  Since the start of his cultivation journey, this was the first time he consciously felt this far away from someone else.

  Looks like he guessed it right.

  Chuan Xinlou must have succeeded in reaching the Dao Confirming Realm. If it were true, then he wasn’t Chuan Xinlou’s opponent. But despite understanding this, Ning Cheng still wouldn’t dare to escape. His sister and his friends were still in Jiangzhou Star, meaning that he couldn’t escape. Fortunately, Chuan Xinlou didn’t know that he still has Ning Ruoqing by his side.

  Ning Cheng’s appearance didn’t surprise Yi Jiufeng. But a hint of surprise did flash through Yi Jiufeng’s eyes on seeing Chuan Xinlou’s display of might. She understood that Chuan Xinlou had grown stronger by several levels after reaching the Dao Confirming Realm. However, the surprise in her eyes quickly turned into loneliness.

  At this moment, a strip of red coloured silk swept out from the Starry Sky Wheel. The red-coloured silk and Chuan Xinlou’s Dao Charm handprint made contact, and the surroundings exploded into chaos.

  “Boom….” The violent celestial essence exploded with so much force that it created a tiny crack in the starry sky, exposing the power of each attack. The starry skies’ space had extreme resilience. Even ten peak-level Eternal-level experts teaming up wouldn’t be enough to tear it apart. Although this tiny crack was still a thousand miles away from actually tearing the void, everyone could sense the horrifying power contained within it.

  The original suppressive force around Ning Cheng’s surroundings suddenly relaxed. He understood that Ning Ruoqing had taken action. The next moment, he didn’t even think about it and went all out with the Hope-powered Jade Seal.

  Chuan Xinlou dared to come to his turf, and if it weren’t for his ‘sister’ Ning Ruoqing, this son-of-a-bitch would have already taken over everything.

  Chuan Xinlou never thought anyone could block his Dao Charm handprint. Not to mention that the Starry Sky Wheel was already about to stop, even if the Starry Sky Wheel came at him at full speed, he felt sure to block it.

  But the fact was that someone had indeed blocked his attack. Not only was his attack thwarted, but the counter-force had also even destroyed his Dao Charm handprint. The strong impact that washed over even shook the Dao Charm around him.

  This sudden development thoroughly shocked Chuan Xinlou, who had just stepped into Dao Confirming Realm. He knew that he still hadn’t fully stabilised his cultivation. Despite that, he wanted to first get rid of Ning Cheng as quickly as possible before doing anything else. Letting a cultivator who understood the Laws of Time stay around him, he wouldn’t be able to get a single night of peaceful sleep. If he waited for Ning Cheng to reach the Dao Confirming Realm, he would have no place to escape. Therefore, he eagerly came to Jiangzhou Star the moment he took that step.

  Although Chuan Xinlou felt uncomfortable, the after-shock also affected Ning Ruoqing. The force had pushed her back, hitting the Starry Sky Wheel’s defensive array. Her chest kept tumbling up and down as if filled with water that she would spit out at any moment.

  At this moment, Ning Cheng’s attack swept out. The Hope-powered Jade Seal turned into a huge seal under the stimulation of the Power of Hope and Ning Cheng’s Domain. The next moment, the jade seal fell, letting Ning Cheng take control of this space.

  Chuan Xinlou didn’t have the time to register the shock from the destruction of his Dao Charm handprint. But he still managed to take out the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda. He could feel that Ning Cheng’s cultivation had grown much stronger compared to the last time they fought. In his case, his cultivation had sharply risen because he had entered the Dao Confirming Realm. But Ning Cheng hadn’t, which confused him even more.

  “Boom-boom-boom….” Celestial essence explosions rang out, dull compared to the last attack but with much more momentum. However, unlike the previous time, this time, the void did not crack. Therefore, although the move seemed to contain much higher energy, it did not include the same power as the last attack.

  However, terrifying pressure spread out from the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda, and Chuan Xinlou felt a similar suppressive force surrounding him.

  Was this celestial essence force?

  Even as a late-stage Eternal-level expert, Ning Cheng shouldn’t be able to create such a potent suppressive effect just using celestial essence.

  “Power of Hope….” Chuan Xinlou’s thoughts had just turned when he immediately understood what the power within the jade seal was. Just as he thought of this, his expressions quickly changed. If Ning Cheng used that jade seal in tandem with that red-robed woman, who had similar cultivation to him, he truly wouldn’t reap any benefits today.

  “Boom….” Despite using the Power of Hope, the confrontation with Chuan Xinlou had still blown Ning Cheng back. He even spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, Ning Ruoqing managed to stop Ning Cheng in time, so he didn’t have to suffer any severe injuries.

  Chuan Xinlou didn’t look as pathetic as Ning Cheng. But under the suppressive force of Ning Cheng’s Hope-powered Jade Seal, his face still looked flushed.

  From the first time that Ning Cheng and Chuan Xinlou clashed, he had already taken note of some of the counterattacks. So, this time, when Ning Cheng and Chuan Xinlou fought, he knew that he could thoroughly dominate him. In other words, if Ning Cheng didn’t use the Hope-powered Jade Seal, he simply couldn’t have done anything against Chuan Xinlou.

  Ning Cheng used the Hope-powered Jade Seal, but Chuan Xinlou only managed to bring out the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda. Yet, even then, Ning Cheng fell into an absolute disadvantage.

  Ning Cheng and Chuan Xinlou fought only two times, and Yi Jiufeng personally witnessed the clashes both times. So, although Yi Jiufeng didn’t underestimate Ning Cheng, Chuan Xinlou still couldn’t kill Ning Cheng despite stepping into the Dao Confirming Realm.

  Just how powerful was Ning Cheng?

  From this, she understood that Ning Cheng had many means, including the Laws of Time, proficiency in Array Formations, and now even that Hope-powered Jade Seal. Moreover, when did Ning Cheng get such a helper? Someone who didn’t seem any weaker than Chuan Xinlou.

  Ning Cheng understood that there now existed an absolute gap in strength between him and Chuan Xinlou. So, he didn’t continue to attack.

  Chuan Xinlou also felt some fear towards Ning Ruoqing. So instead of continuing with attacking, he tightly held onto the Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda and stared at Ning Ruoqing for a long time before asking. “Who the hell are you? Why do you want to stay here and fight me?”

  Ning Ruoqing frowned and looked at Chuan Xinlou and said, “Fight you? Who are you anyway? You dare to step into my big brother’s territory, do you want to die that badly?”

  Even if she threatened him with death, Ning Ruoqing spoke with a calm tone. It felt as if she was only stating a fact, not ridiculing him.

  How could Chuan Xinlou know Ning Ruoqing’s origins? But regardless of her background, he regarded Ning Ruoqing as a rival on the same level after that clash. However, when he heard Ning Ruoqing address Ning Cheng as ‘big brother’, he immediately felt shocked. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and spoke up with cupped fists, “I, Chuan Xinlou, am from the Culmination Starland’s Levelled Heart E
mperor Mountain. I just recently succeeded in confirming my Dao at Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain.”

  Ning Ruoqing snorted. “What about Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain? Aren’t you just a Dao Sculpting cultivator with no foundation? Nope, it doesn’t look like you confirmed your Dao? Guess you don’t have any sense of shame. Did you think Dao is this easy to prove?”

  Hearing Ning Ruoqing’s words, Chuan Xinlou frowned. He didn’t take Ning Ruoqing’s seriously, as after using the Dao Fruit, he realised a new realm. It was the realisation that made his movements much smoother. In other words, although his celestial essence and spiritual consciousness did not increase, his strength had risen sharply because of this feeling of free-handed movement.

  It was also how he came up with that Dao Charm-filled handprint. Before that realisation, he couldn’t freely condense such a powerful handprint using just Dao Charm. Yet, it produced an attack much more potent than anything an Eternal expert could create. But it was also a fact that he could only vaguely understand his own Dao in the past. Therefore, he could never use his perception of Dao to condense that Dao Charm handprint.

  Was this not the Dao Confirming Realm?

  Although he had some doubts, Chuan Xinlou believed that what Ning Ruoqing said was only intentional.

  Regardless, he felt some regrets that confirming his Dao didn’t invoke any thunder tribulation. Although facing a thunder tribulation would involve high levels of danger, if he surpassed that thunder tribulation, it would have explosively increased his strength.

  Chuan Xinlou’s feeling wasn’t wrong. Even without any change in celestial essence and spiritual consciousness, his strength had indeed risen exponentially, just like

  Zhang Wuji’s

  cultivation that could shake the world. If one took out the cultivation required to shake the heavens, one would find that Zhang Wuji relied mainly on the profound understanding of internal forces. But combined with his heaven-defying cultivation, he could use his internal energy to the fullest, which made all the difference.

  Although Chuan Xinlou knew that he had succeeded in reaching Dao Confirming Realm, he still couldn’t refute Ning Ruoqing’s words. In any case, he felt that Ning Ruoqing was at the same cultivation level as him. If he had reached the Dao Confirming Realm, then Ning Ruoqing must have also successfully entered the Dao Confirming Realm. Therefore, he could look down on everyone else in the world, but not Ning Ruoqing.

  “Chuan Xinlou, did you think I didn’t know what you’re planning to do with my Jiangzhou Star? And when did my Jiangzhou Star come under your Culmination Grand Starry Sky’s jurisdiction? Why did I not hear about this?” Ning Cheng, on seeing that Ning Ruoqing could suppress Chuan Xinlou, immediately felt relieved.

  A flash of surprise once again passed through Yi Jiufeng’s eyes, and her gaze immediately shifted to Ning Ruoqing.

  Chen Xingwen’s mouth fell open in shock. He had initially thought that Chuan Xinlou would easily teach Ning Cheng a lesson, with a high probability of Chuan Xinlou killing him. Moreover, after witnessing Chuan Xinlou’s Dao Confirming strength, he understood that at least, he, Chen Xingwen, couldn’t fight against him. But he never expected that Chuan Xinlou would not only fail to teach Ning Cheng a lesson but would also end up on the receiving end of Ning Cheng’s scolding. Chuan Xinlou couldn’t even retort.

  Cang Caihe breathed in a sigh of relief. Since the time he saw Ning Cheng’s astonishing thunder tribulation, he understood that Ning Cheng was an extraordinary fellow. Looks like he hadn’t seen it wrong.

  As for Gongxiu Zhu and Bei Junyi behind Cang Caihe, they felt even more excited. They already knew that their Sect Master Ning was a mighty expert, but even they did not expect their Sect Master Ning to be this strong.

  Shen Mengyan also had a look of surprise in her eyes. She immediately thought of Yu Yuechen, who had left after advancing to the Eternal Realm. Yu Yuechen had left Yu Clan’s Corner with the resolution to find a more powerful cultivation method to improve, leaving her still pregnant with Yu Qing.

  She didn’t know if Yu Yuechen had reached the Dao Confirming Realm, but she knew that he was already powerful before leaving. However, she also knew that Ning Cheng did not have the same experiences or lived as long as Yu Yuechen, yet he had already reached that level.

  Ji Lie, who acted in full arrogance, now had an ugly expression over his face. Initially, with his early-stage Eternal cultivation, he already felt afraid of Ning Cheng. But after Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor returned, all his fears disappeared. Moreover, when Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor successfully reached the Dao Confirming Realm, he no longer put Ning Cheng in his eyes. Otherwise, he would never have brought Yu Baihong from Yu Clan’s Corner to parade him around Jiangzhou Star like a dog.

  He did this on purpose. First, to invoke a feeling of disgust in Shen Mengyan and then to subsequently ridicule Ning Cheng. He wanted Ning Cheng to beg for mercy under absolute suppression. However, he never expected that Ning Cheng would still be so strong. Powerful to such an extent that even Chuan Xinlou couldn’t deal with it.

  Facing Ning Cheng’s continuous barrage, Chuan Xinlou couldn’t speak for a while. He had indeed said this not long ago, but back then he had considered Ning Cheng as an ant in front of him. But now, if he fought Ning Cheng, he most likely would suffer a defeat.

  Moreover, he couldn’t count on Yi Jiufeng and Chen Xingwen on his side. Once he started, they definitely wouldn’t help him. As for Ji Lie, at early-stage Eternal Realm, he wouldn’t even be enough as cannon fodder.

  The surroundings fell silent. No one wanted to speak at this time.

  But suddenly, a scream erupted from Ji Lie as he spouted a mouthful of blood and flew back. Yu Baihong, who still had a chain around his neck, flew up and shot out a dazzling ray of light. By the time the dazzling flash of light disappeared, Yu Baihong’s attack had penetrated through Ji Lie’s chest.

  Although all of this happened in just a blink of an eye, everyone saw what had happened. Yu Baihong had suddenly attacked Ji Lie, who was in shock on seeing Ning Cheng’s strength.

  Yu Baihong, just like Ji Lie, was in the early-stage of Eternal Realm. However, in terms of strength, Ji Lie couldn’t compare to Yu Baihong. Therefore, under Yu Baihong’s sneak attack, Ji Lie couldn’t resist at all. Especially when he was still under the shock induced by Ning Cheng’s strength.

  Chuan Xinlou’s face changed, and he immediately rushed up. But just when he moved, Ning Cheng appeared in front of him, followed by Ning Ruoqing, right next to Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng understood that he couldn’t stop Chuan Xinlou by himself. But he also knew that as long as he moved, Ning Ruoqing would also move with him. If he told Ning Ruoqing to stop Chuan Xinlou, it would already be too late.

  With Chuan Xinlou’s strength, he wouldn’t have any problems in killing Yu Baihong.

  Ji Lie had suffered a severe injury under Yu Baihong’s sneak attack. Fortunately, before the attack could go through him, he managed to bring out his weapon and lessen the damage.

  However, Yu Baihong had already gone berserk out of anger. Even the killing intent in Yu Baihong’s heart had already started to solidify. Coupled with Ji Lie’s injuries, his strength not matching up to Yu Baihong, and under Ning Cheng’s shock, Ji Lie quickly fell into a disadvantage.

  As weapons clashed, the two immediately went into a desperate and intense fight. But everyone could tell that it was only a matter of time before Ji Lie died.

  “Chuan Xinlou, don’t you like fighting two to one? Why not let Ning Ruoqing and I play with you.” Ning Cheng said as he once again brought up the Hope-powered Jade Seal.

  Chuan Xinlou’s face turned blue from anger. But before he could speak, he once again hea
rd Ji Lie’s scream before Yu Baihong finally killed him.

  After Yu Baihong killed Ji Lie, he quickly moved to Ning Cheng’s side and cupped his fists. “Many thanks, Sect Master Ning, for letting me kill JI Lie. Otherwise, I could never rest peacefully, even if I died. From now on, Yu Clan’s Corner will fully obey Sect Master Ning’s words and will never go against it. If we violate this vow, my Yu Clan’s Corner will disintegrate to dust.”

  Yu Clan’ Corner was still a significant force within Culmination Starland. But now, in front of Chuan Xinlou, Yu Baihong declared his intention to take refuge with Ning Cheng. It would be strange if Chuan Xinlou could still keep a straight face.

  Since Yu Clan’s Corner wanted to surrender to him, Ning Cheng naturally wouldn’t refuse it. He even cupped his fists before speaking. “Since Brother Yu wants to come to my Mysterious Yellow Celestial River, this Ning Cheng would naturally welcome you. However, Brother Yu, you will have to restrain the members of Yu Clan’s Corner and make them abide by the laws of my Mysterious Yellow Celestial River. If you can do that, you can choose one star within my Mysterious Yellow Celestial River to set down a foundation.”

  Yu Baihong already knew about the rules and regulations of the Mysterious Yellow Celestial River. That is, the laws treated everyone equally, regardless of one’s background. Now that Ning Cheng specifically mentioned this, he vowed to comply without any hesitation.

  Shen Mengyan felt a little speechless at this. She didn’t know much about the relationship between Ning Cheng and Yu Qing, but she had accepted him as a junior. But now Ning Cheng addressed Yu Clan’s Yu Baihong as ‘Brother Yu’ directly,

  wouldn’t it screw up the generational hierarchy?

  This thought had just passed by when her gaze fell on Bao Yingge.

  Bao Yingge felt Shen Mengyan’s gaze, and her face immediately turned pale. She couldn’t figure out why Shen Mengyan always enjoyed better luck than her every time. But facing that gaze, she subconsciously stepped behind Chuan Xinlou.
