The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Instead, what appeared before the three of them was an endless black world. No, comparing it to a black world wasn’t right. Rather, it was an endless swarm of insects that permeated the entire starry sky around them.

  These insects were pitch-black in colour and continually sprayed out a black-coloured water-like mist. The larger of the insects even spat out wind blades and fire.

  Moreover, each insect also emitted a burst of pungent odour. Shen Mengyan and Shui Wuchang, although both in Heaven Seated Realm, still couldn’t help but feel nauseated. Even if they didn’t know anything about these insects, they understood that even touching this black mist would bring forth a disaster. It would be strange if this foul-smelling black liquid had beneficial properties.

  These endless black insects were only one part of the attack; the other one was the spacial suppression that suppressed one’s cultivation. It would frustrate and fluster any cultivator trapped inside it.

  This time, even without Ning Cheng’s reminder, Shen Mengyan and Shui Wuchang quickly noticed Chuan Xinlou and the others. The four Heavenly Emperors were in a bit of a mess. They had no choice but to bring out their weapons to protect themselves and constantly bombarded the black insects surrounding them.

  The most notable out of the four was Chuan Xinlou. Every time his Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda spat out its dao flame, countless insects would turn to ash. However, no matter how powerful his attack, he still couldn’t kill all of the insects. It’s not that he killed fewer insects, but the number of insects was just too huge.

  With Chuan Xinlou’s cultivation, in any other place, his attacks could have quickly shattered a planet if it trapped him inside. But in this place, no matter how powerful his attacks, the array formation still managed to block it, preventing it from causing too much damage.

  As long as the four of them couldn’t break apart this Trap Formation, the four would eventually die from exhaustion. Of course, Ning Cheng believed that these four people had their means of escape. It’s just that the situation hadn’t reached that point yet.

  Moreover, Chuan Xinlou and the others couldn’t blast open the array formation in a short time. It’s not that their strength didn’t permit it, but because someone was actively controlling the array formation. The cultivator commanding the array formation not only commanded the insects but also suppressed the cultivation of Chuan Xinlou and others through this spacial array formation. Another reason was that among Chuan Xinlou’s four, there was no true master who walked the Dao of Arrays.

  Not long after Ning Cheng’s trio entered the trap formation, endless black bugs swarmed towards them. Although Shui Wuchang and Shen Mengyan could block the attacks from these insects, they still turned pale. These insects were just too disgusting. Not just because of the smelly black liquid they oozed, but also because of their grotesque appearance.

  These insects were just an eye with serrated appendages coming out of it. Pits and holes covered every inch of its ‘eye’ and filled with black filth. The larger of these insects were about half a foot in diameter while the smaller ones weren’t even the size of rice grains.

  “I’ll start.” Ning Cheng smiled when he saw Shui Wuchang and Sheng Mengyan wanting to bring out their weapons and do something.

  “Just you?” Shen Mengyan and Shui Wuchang both looked at Ning Cheng in doubt.

  With so many bugs, wouldn’t it require everyone to work together? Can one person kill them alone?

  Ning Cheng didn’t answer. He raised his hand and condensed several Time Wheels before shooting them out. Pitting his Time Wheel against Chuan Xinlou’s Burning Sun Eroding Sky Pagoda, perhaps his Time Wheel wouldn’t occupy the upper hand.

  But if he used the Time Wheel to kill these insects, then even ten Chuan Xinlou’s Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagodas wouldn’t match up to it. Every time a tongue of flame erupted from Chuan Xinlou’s Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda, it would kill countless insects. Although the surroundings would turn empty, the hole would quickly fill up with more insects in a flash.

  But Ning Cheng’s Time Wheel worked differently. The Time Wheel was a Laws of Time-related spirit technique. Once cast, everything would turn to dust within Ning Cheng’s reach without consuming too much.

  Only those who had entered the Time Wilderness and seen Time Wheels sweeping everything to nothingness would realise the power of Time Wheels.

  Shui Wuchang and Shen Mengyan stared blankly at the grey-coloured light wheels that Ning Cheng had cast. Everything in front of the light wheels turned into nothingness without leaving the slightest trace.

  Wherever the light wheels went, nothing remained of anything. None of those black insects could block its line of sight.

  Ning Cheng waved both hands and cast out light wheels one after another, and in just a moment, the endless insects around them disappeared. The only thing left was the light wheels that kept moving forward.

  In just a few breaths, the endless black space around them turned clear. Not to talk about insects, one couldn’t even see a single raised surface within this open space.

  Chuan Xinlou and the others had already noticed Ning Cheng’s trio entering. However, they couldn’t pay too much attention to Ning Cheng’s actions. But when Ning Cheng’s Time Wheel came out and saw the endless insects turn into nothingness, they all couldn’t help but look at Ning Cheng in shock.

  The four, however, quickly reacted, and rushed out of the black swarm to enter the place opened by Ning Cheng.

  As soon as the four of them left the area surrounded by those insects, a Time Wheel swept past the location they had just stayed before. They could only watch as everything disappeared without a trace before this Time Wheel. The next moment, the open space around them stretched out. It felt as if as long as these insects existed, this light wheel would continue to move forward to hunt them down.

  “What a powerful Laws of Time-related spirit technique. Before time, everything is illusory……” Chuan Xinlou looked at Ning Cheng’s Time Wheel and murmured to himself.

  He knew that Ning Cheng had touched the edge of the Laws of Time, but frankly, he didn’t care much about it. After all, he wasn’t afraid of Ning Cheng’s Sunset’s Twilight. Even if Ning Cheng had used the Time Wheel in Returning Capital City, he wouldn’t have cared much about it.

  Although this Time Wheel looked powerful, he felt confident that his Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda could block it.

  But it wasn’t until now did he understand the real strength of the Laws of Time. He could still defend against it, but it was probably because his realm was much higher than Ning Cheng.

  But if one day, Ning Cheng’s cultivation realm caught up to him, when Ning Cheng’s understanding of the Laws of Time reached a higher level, what would he use to block the Laws of Time?

  Maybe apart from the Laws of Time, nothing else could stop the Laws of Time.

  “Sect Master Ning, you truly are strong.” Zhangkang Tianji put away his weapon and was the first to approach Ning Cheng and praise him with a thumbs-up.

  Qiao Jierui remained silent. He never talked about Ning Cheng’s previous visit to Returning Capital City. But he had started to regard Ning Cheng as a dead man in his heart. Qiao Jierui had decided that as long as he reached Dao Confirming Realm, the first person he would kill was Ning Cheng. He wouldn’t show the same patience as Chuan Xinlou.

  But now, his heart turned cold.

  How long has it been since then?

  At this time, Ning Cheng had become so strong that even he had to look up to him. Ning Cheng had not only chased down that red-haired man but also remained safe and sound without any apparent injuries. Moreover, since he could come here, it also meant that Ning Cheng managed to kill that red-haired man. Although he didn’t witness how Ning Cheng killed that red-haired man, he had seen the power of Ning Cheng’s Time Wheel today.

  These insects were so powerful that he had to deal with them personally and with full concentration. He also had spirit techniques capable of mass
destruction, but his spirit techniques couldn’t compare to Ning Cheng’s light wheels formed out of the Laws of Time.

  After Chuan Xinlou and the others approached Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng no longer had any concerns. Ning Cheng immediately went on a rampage with his Time Wheels. The Time Wheels instantly turned into a series of Time Wheel-shadows and spread out. After a few breaths, the black space that covered the sky and sun disappeared without a trace.

  Ning Cheng understood that he hadn’t exterminated all the black insects. Maybe these black bugs would continue to gush out endlessly, and he really could kill them all. But the black bugs had voluntarily disappeared from in front of him, which meant that someone had recalled them. Most likely, it should be the owner of these insects who understood that he could no longer use these black insects to deal with Ning Cheng.

  A moment later, a man in a grey robe slowly emerged and appeared in front of everyone. This grey-robed man had no eyes. A layer of skin covered the place where his eyes should have been. It made any person who looked at this man feel creeped out and uncomfortable.

  After this person appeared, the suppression of the surrounding space seemed to have loosened. Ning Cheng, as an Array Formation Master, immediately understood that this person in front of him had something to do with the space-locking grand array.

  “You’re very strong.” The grey-robed man faced Ning Cheng and spoke with a slow voice. He had no eyes, which meant that no one could see the look in his eyes.

  Ning Cheng didn’t answer the grey-robed man’s words. He noticed that there was a bamboo cage behind this grey-robed man. Moreover, bursts of aura similar to those black-coloured insects kept erupting from this bamboo cage.

  “If you think you could use your means to break through my Space-sealing Grand Array, then you’re wrong.” The grey-robed man’s tone remained steady. “Even if I don’t use my black treasure[1], you still can’t get out of here. If you don’t believe me, you can try it out yourself.”

  [1]

  I’m not entirely sure if it’s the name of a treasure or the grade. I’ll wait till I have more context about it.

  “Really?” Ning Cheng smiled, raised his hand and threw out an array flag. At the same time, he also threw out a bunch of Permanent Essence Pills.

  “Boom-Boom-Boom…” Sounds of successive explosions rang out, sounding like the roars of a dragon. After only a dozen breaths, everyone’s eyes opened up in disbelief.

  The suppressive spacial force had utterly disappeared; even the residual smell had vanished without a trance. Everyone here had experienced the power of this grand array; it was just as described by that eyeless cultivator. Yet now, Ning Cheng had broken this array as easily as swatting a fly.

  Even the eyeless cultivator’s expressions changed drastically. He had never thought that this young cultivator who had just entered the array would manage to break his Space-locking Grand Array with such ease.

  From this, he understood that this young cultivator had entered the grand array voluntarily. Otherwise, no one would even get close to it.

  Ning Cheng spoke up with a calm voice, “Did you think that a trivial Starry Sky Grade 9 Sky-locking Array could trap me? You think too highly of yourself.”

  However, this eyeless male cultivator had truly not thought highly of himself. He just never thought that Ning Cheng would also be a Starry Sky Grade 9 Array Master. Besides such people, who would address a Starry Sky Grade 9 Grand Array as ‘trivial’?

  If he knew that Ning Cheng was a Starry Sky Grade 9 Array Emperor, he would naturally have not said that. Even if he took full control of the Starry Sky Grade 9 Sky-locking Array, it wouldn’t be able to trap a Starry Sky Grade 9 Array Emperor for long. Moreover, this Array Emperor, most likely, had already arranged a breaking array before entering the grand array. But because he wanted to use the array formation to suppress Chuan Xinlou’s group of four, he didn’t think much about the three who entered later. In other words, the eyeless cultivator didn’t believe Ning Cheng would amount to much. Because of this, he never even considered that Ning Cheng would have such high attainments when it came to the Dao of Arrays, which led to such a mistake.

  Was this the result of a breaking array?

  Chuan Xinlou looked at the now-empty space in front of him in disbelief. He could acutely feel the disappearance of the suppressive space.

  He didn’t truly care about what the eyeless man said. The array couldn’t have trapped him for long if he used his full power. Yet Ning Cheng had broken the array so easily and so quickly, which utterly shocked him. This revelation had truly shaken him to the core. He had made a lot of plans to deal with Ning Cheng in the future, yet he didn’t even consider Ning Cheng’s attainments in the Dao of Arrays.

  Against an opponent like Ning Cheng, even a small slip could cost his life. What’s more, how could he have ignored such an important thing?

  Chuan Xinlou kept pondering over it and even momentarily forgot why he came to the Mysterious Yellow Starland.

  The eyeless cultivator kept staring at Ning Cheng. He truly couldn’t figure out how Ning Cheng attained such a high level of proficiency when it came to cultivating the Dao of Arrays.

  “Haha…… I didn’t expect that this side of the starry sky would still have someone who controlled the Laws of Time. I’ve been negligent. Mingyuan, please invite them to my Ninth Emperor’s Peak.” A laugh suddenly sounded in everyone’s ear, but no one could see from where it originated.

  After hearing this voice, the grey-robed eyeless cultivator immediately became polite. “Guests, please come with me.”

  This time, he spoke with a mild tone. It felt as if he wasn’t the one who had trapped them in this grand array.

  Everyone looked at Ning Cheng; even Chuan Xinlou also looked at Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng’s strength did not lose out to his, but the key was Ning Cheng’s proficiency in array formations.

  The person who spoke hadn’t appeared anywhere near the group, but this person knew what happened. It showed and highlighted this person’s powerful cultivation. But since Ning Cheng had already planned to come to the Mysterious Yellow Starland, he naturally wouldn’t get scared by a voice. He looked at the eyeless grey-robed cultivator and said, “Lead the way.”

  The eyeless cultivator bowed to Ning Cheng, “I’m called Yi Mingyuan.”

  Ning Cheng nodded but did not speak. He understood that since this cultivator took the initiative to give him his name, it meant that the force behind this person wanted to rope him to their side. However, Ning Cheng didn’t plan on going over to that side. Especially when he knew nothing about the other party. If he had a chance, he wouldn’t mind killing this eyeless cultivator.

  After Ning Cheng broke the array formation, his spiritual consciousness could now sweep through a part of the Mysterious Yellow Starland.

  The once prosperous Moyi City now looked like an abandoned and derelict ruin. From the looks of it, it looked more like a city of the death, with only Death Qi permeating throughout the surroundings.

  As for the rest of the Mysterious Yellow Starland, it looked even more barren. From this, he could tell that this group of outsiders came here with the full intent to exterminate this starland’s lifeforce. In other words, this was a bunch of ruthless and cold-blooded killers, someone who murdered without blinking an eye, someone who he disdained from even making acquaintances.

  Seeing that Ning Cheng ignored him, Yi Mingyuan didn’t continue to ask anything else and took the initiative to enter the Mysterious Yellow Starland.

  After stepping on the ground of the Mysterious Yellow Starland, Shui Wuchang’s face immediately changed. At this moment, it didn’t look like there was even a single creature alive w
ithin the Mysterious Yellow Starland. Only a layer of grey met everything in the range of one’s eye while Death Qi permeated every corner.

  As for Moyi City, it looked more and more like a ghost town. As Shui Wuchang took in everything, how could she not know that her father most likely suffered something terrible? Not to mention her father, most likely all the cultivators within the Mysterious Yellow Starland suffered the same fate.

  Ning Cheng stopped outside Moyi City, seemingly thoughtful.

  “The Ninth Prince is waiting for the few guests in Sacred Light City. Please come with me.” Yi Mingyuan smiled and stretched out his hand as if to lead them in the direction of Sacred Light City.

  Even without Yi Mingyuan’s invitation, Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness had already swept towards Sacred Light Mountain. The Sacred Light Mountain, which only had yellow sands covering it from top to bottom previously, had now transformed into a sprawling city. But this city looked a bit weird with a steep mountain peak right in the middle of it.

  But unlike the grand majesty of this city and the exterior engraved with the words ‘Sacred Light City’, it barely had any life force. Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness moved in without hesitation but found no Spiritual Consciousness Restrictions within the city. Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness unreservedly swept through everything inside and saw the mountain peak-like building erected in the middle, near the top of the mountain. In front of this abrupt-looking mountain building, he then saw a few odd characters overflowing with dao charm, ‘Ninth Emperor’s Peak’.

  “Please follow me into the city.” Seeing Ning Cheng stop outside Moyi City, and not moving at all despite the previous reminder, Yi Mingyuan had to repeat it.

  Since Ning Cheng could scan the Sacred Light City, then Chuan Xinlou and the others could also naturally use their spiritual consciousness to examine it. They also had some doubts as to why they found no Spiritual Consciousness Restrictions within this Sacred Light City.
