The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Ning Cheng sighed. Even if he and Yu Qing didn’t have anything between them, he didn’t dispute Shen Mengyan’s words. Instead, he took out a few medicinal pills and swallowed them.

  After swallowing a few medicinal pills, Ning Cheng finally regained some energy and vitality, and even his body started to recover at an accelerated rate.

  Another ‘thump’ erupted, and Shen Mengyan’s heart burst with pain. Fortunately, she had moved farther away from her initial location; therefore, she didn’t spew out blood.

  “Ning Cheng, we need to leave this place quickly. That sound is just too horrifying.” Shen Mengyan brought out a defensive-type weapon. At the same time, she also conveyed the words to Ning Cheng. This sound seemed to contain a unique dao charm, which she could not suppress using her celestial essence.

  Ning Cheng took in a deep breath and said, “Aunt Yan, we can’t leave. Although the sound feels terrifying, we can still keep our lives. However, once we leave Forefather’s Altar, we will no doubt die. With Man Jiuren’s character, it would be a weird thing if he let us escape after I destroyed his substitute.”

  Ning Cheng still had retained some consciousness before he fell. Therefore, he understood that because of Man Jiuren’s Essence Spirit Substitute, his Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow couldn’t truly kill him. If they left the Altar of Forefather’s Library at this time, it would only result in their deaths.

  After saying this, Ning Cheng swallowed a few more medicinal pills again before barely bringing out the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort. “Aunt Yan, we won’t retreat, but go in. Only by going in, can we have a way out.”

  Another ‘thump’ sounded out, hitting Ning Cheng’s Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort. But Shen Mengyan realised that the sound didn’t affect her anymore. Realising this, Shen Mengyan didn’t step back. Instead, holding Ning Cheng, she rushed towards the direction of the Altar of Forefather’s Library pointed out by Ning Cheng. She had already seen Ning Cheng’s strength; therefore, she believed that Ning Cheng would choose the right way.

  Soon after Shen Mengyan and Ning Cheng entered the area of the Altar of Forefather’s Library, a shadow appeared in Shen Mengyan’s previous location. However, the figure only looked in the direction of the Altar of Forefather’s Library. It didn’t follow her but chose to leave instead.

  Two hours later, Shen Mengyan stopped outside a collapsed canyon. The canyon in front of her looked utterly ruined, with scenes of destruction and ruins everywhere.

  “Aunt Yan, stop here. I’ll loosen the restrictions of the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort. You should let a bit of your spirit sense seep into my Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort and help me control the Blue Thunder Fort for some time. I need to heal.” Ning Cheng didn’t wait for Shen Mengyan to answer before transferring partial control of the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort to her.

  Shen Mengyan immediately felt the vastness of the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort and the endless lightning arcs coursing within the blue thunder fort. Fortunately, Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort was Ning Cheng’s weapon, and she only had to help Ning Cheng support it a bit, so the pressure on her wasn’t that great.

  After Ning Cheng transferred partial control of Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort to Shen Mengyan, he immediately turned silent. He almost fully sealed his six senses to heal his injuries.

  When Shen Mengyan saw this, she quickly brought out an abode-type artefact and placed Ning Cheng inside. She then sat next to Ning Cheng while controlling the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, while waiting for Ning Cheng to finish healing his injuries.

  Time passed by slowly. However, as days trickled by, Shen Mengyan started to feel the pressure. She couldn’t support powering the blue thunder fort for long. But seeing Ning Cheng showing no signs of waking up, she had no choice but to hold on.

  After another two days passed by, Shen Mengyan started to feel her spiritual consciousness beginning to slip. It became even more challenging to control the blue thunder fort. With every ‘thump’ sound, she could acutely feel the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort shrinking a bit. Seeing this, Shen Mengyan grew even more worried. She took out some Permanent Essence Pills and started absorbing the pure Starry Sky Essence Spirit Qi[1] from the Permanent Essence Pills to sustain her efforts. At the same time, she also began to pray for Ning Cheng to wake up quickly.

  The Starry Sky Essence Spirit Qi from the Permanent Essence Pills quickly plunged Sheng Mengyan into a state of cultivation. Moreover, once she fell into this kind of a cultivation state, she felt another powerful aura. This kind of aura immediately forced out all the remaining pill poison and impurities from her body. It not only let her body undergo a rebirth-like nirvana, but it also purified her Sea of Consciousness and meridians.

  Moreover, it also improved her absorption speed of Perpetual Moon Pills, even her perceptions of spirit techniques and dao laws grew deeper. Shen Mengyan subconsciously moved closer to Ning Cheng. The closer she moved towards Ning Cheng, the stronger the effect she experienced.

  Shen Mengyan, who unconsciously got immersed in cultivation, vaguely perceived that the aura that affected her cultivation was a kind of origin aura. Therefore, she didn’t force herself to wake up; this kind of opportunity was something she had never experienced in her life.

  What Shen Mengyan absorbed was indeed an origin, the Mysterious Yellow Origin that Ning Cheng used during his healing process and cultivation. Typically, whenever Ning Cheng cultivated, he made sure that no one remained around him. But this time, Shen Mengyan stayed by his side, which was a pure accident and something he couldn’t control.

  The Mysterious Yellow Origin operated according to Ning Cheng’s Mysterious Yellow Formless, and it remained active at every instant. It didn’t matter if Ning Cheng consciously circulated it or not. Now that Shen Mengyan had unconsciously come closer and leaned over Ning Cheng while inhaling the Mysterious Yellow Origin. Because of this, her body naturally underwent a metamorphosis as the Mysterious Yellow Origin didn’t tolerate even the slightest bit of impurities during its circulation. Moreover, Shen Mengyan’s cultivation method was also far worse compared to Ning Cheng’s method. Therefore, even if her cultivation reached the Heaven Seated Realm, her body still contained high levels of impurities. But because she unconsciously absorbed and circulated the Mysterious Yellow Origin Aura, it immediately pushed out all the lingering impurities and toxins within her body.

  After Shen Mengyan fell into an unconscious cultivation state, the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort also started to stabilise gradually. Shen Mengyan’s unconscious cultivation state not only allowed her to continue using the Everlasting Blue Thunder City to protect her and Ning Cheng but also allowed her to continue cultivating.

  Another month passed by quickly, and Shen Mengyan suddenly woke up from her cultivation state. She had reached a cultivation barrier that stopped her from continuing. Therefore, she couldn’t continue cultivating even if she wanted to and woke up immediately. But when she looked at her body, Shen Mengyan couldn’t help but feel shocked.

  Her body had a layer of dirt and filth covering it, which even gave out a peculiar disgusting smell. Seeing this situation, Shen Mengyan almost screamed.

  After reaching the Heaven Seated Realm, one could say that the impurities in her body should have grown less, leaving almost nothing. Therefore, she never expected that so much filth would still seep out of her today.

  She couldn’t help but feel extremely ashamed as she found herself right next to Ning Cheng. But when her spiritual consciousness fell on Ning Cheng, she felt relieved. Ning Cheng had not woken up. From the looks of it, Ning Cheng had forced himself into the deepest level of seclusion to heal himself.

  Shen Mengyan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly stood up and took off all her clothes. After cleaning her clothes, she promptly washed off all the filth covering her body and put on a set of new underwear.

  But just as Shen Mengyan put on her underwear, and before she had the time to put on her outer robe, she felt a ‘thud’. The next i
nstant, the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort outside blew open. At the same time, a spiritual consciousness swept over and fell on her.

  Shen Mengyan screamed. She hadn’t put on her clothes fully yet, and such a thing had happened.

  Since the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort blew up, it also forcibly woke up Ning Cheng. Although Shen Mengyan currently controlled the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, the weapon had a connection to his mind.

  If someone blasted open his defensive weapon, how could he not wake up?

  “Boom……” The next moment, Shen Mengyan’s abode-type artefact also blew up, and the terrifying Shen Mengyan quickly hid behind Ning Cheng. The instinctive avoidance made her forget that people could still use their spiritual consciousness.

  A blazing gaze fell on her and Ning Cheng, coming from the masked man staring at Shen Mengyan, who only had underwear on her.

  “Quite the adulterous couple, huh. Sorry for disturbing your happy time.” The masked man spoke with a cold tone. His body overflowed with so much murderous aura that it even affected the space around him.

  “Beast, it’s none of your business how we heal our wounds. Animals like you killed so many people; you’ll surely die a miserable death….” Shen Mengyan recovered and shot back at him in hatred. She had a clear conscience, so she naturally didn’t have any psychological shadows that affected her.

  She quickly took out a robe and was about to put it on her body when another ‘thump’ arrived. Blood appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the clothes in her hand fell on the ground.

  Ning Cheng sneered internally, only a late-stage Eternal cultivator, yet daring to disturb him while healing? Even if he hadn’t fully recovered, he could still take out a late-stage Eternal cultivator without much effort.

  Ning Cheng had just brought out the Celestial Rainbow Purgatory Spear when his expressions suddenly changed. The next moment, he put away the Celestial Rainbow Purgatory Spear, grabbed Shen Mengyan and quickly jumped into the destroyed canyon entrance.

  The masked man had a trace of blood on his lips. He looked at the direction of Ning Cheng’s disappearance but did not pursue. After a few breaths, two daoist shadows fell on either side of him.

  One was the eyeless Yi Mingyuan, and the other was a man dressed in green.

  Yi Mingyuan also looked in the direction of Ning Cheng’s disappearance and said hoarsely, “This person is quite powerful. He managed to escape here even under Ninth Prince’s power.”

  The man in green only looked in the direction where Ning Cheng disappeared but did not speak. He didn’t know what method Ning Cheng used to injure the Ninth Prince this severely. But since Ning Cheng could kill Hong Lun, then it was quite reasonable for the Ninth Prince to suffer some serious injuries.

  “Boom-Boom” The Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort blocked off the sound. Even if Ning Cheng hadn’t fully recovered from his injuries, his current cultivation far surpassed the time he came here in the Heaven Seated Realm.

  Ning Cheng changed directions several times but didn’t encounter even one spacial collapse. He knew that to enter that blood lake, he had to find a location with spacial collapses.

  After another incense stick of time, a spacial collapse suddenly appeared behind Ning Cheng. Shen Mengyan’s face turned pale. She had never seen such a powerful spacial collapse.

  “That’s it.” Ning Cheng exclaimed and rushed away from it. He had already understood that this place should be a huge Spacial Collapse Array.

  Entering this place, one would face a certain degree of danger. If unlucky, the Spacial Collapse Array might just swallow you up.

  Ning Cheng quickly rushed down at full speed. Ning Cheng only stopped when the spacial collapse behind him disappeared, and the scenery around him no longer looked like that of a collapsed canyon.

  “Where is this place?” Shen Mengyan asked in shock after Ning Cheng put her down.

  She only saw a dark-red scenery in front of her eyes. Moreover, there seemed to be a peculiar kind of fishy smell permeating the entire place.

  But she quickly realised that she still hadn’t put on a robe. She immediately took out a set of robes and put it on hastily.

  Seeing that Ning Cheng’s attention wasn’t on her, Shen Mengyan sighed and walked a few steps forward to Ning Cheng’s side and asked, “Ning Cheng, did you already know about this place? Did you specifically come here to find this place?”

  Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness carefully observed the surroundings. Only now did he confirm that this place was an artificial one built by someone. As long as one entered this place, it meant that one would find danger everywhere.

  Ning Cheng nodded, “Yes, I know this place. I owe someone here a favour. Despite being trapped here, he saved my life. When he saved me, I promised him that I would return and save him. Now that the Ninth Prince has taken over the Mysterious Yellow Starland, I’m just worried that he would truly refine this place one day. At that time, I wouldn’t have any chance to repay that favour.”

  Shen Mengyan felt surprised.

  Ning Cheng had come to this place before?

  Ning Cheng took a few steps forward but stopped quickly.

  Shen Mengyan’s mouth opened wide in surprise and looked at the scene before her in utter shock. She saw a blood lake with a huge heart suspended right over the middle of it. Not to mention that she had never seen such a big heart, Shen Mengyan had never imagined that such a gigantic heart could exist.

  Moreover, this heart still had a pulse, and every time it pulsed, it would make a loud ‘thump’. Shen Mengyan finally understood the origin of that heart and soul-shaking ‘thump’ from before. It had come from this heart. She never thought that a heart could have such a power. If not for Ning Cheng’s blue thunder fort protecting her, she would have found it almost impossible even to remain standing.

  “This blood lake, that heart……” Shen Mengyan muttered to herself. If the heart was already this big, then what kind of a giant would have such a huge heart?

  “Aunt Yan. Stay here. The Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort will protect you. I’ll go and free that person.” Ning Cheng said to Shen Mengyan while staring at the blood lake.

  “Save who? There’s no one here.” Shen Mengyan wondered aloud.

  Ning Cheng looked at the blood lake in front of him and said with a solemn voice, “This blood lake is not as simple as it looks. It has countless bugs in it. Once our auras come into contact with the blood in the blood lake, the bugs within it will immediately come out.”

  Although Ning Cheng said those words to Shen Mengyan, his gaze remained fixed on the blood lake. The heart above the blood lake wasn’t that big; it’s just that there were countless dark-red insects within this heart. Those insects could blow it up and swarm out. Ning Cheng even wondered if this heart could still beat after wiping out all the insects within it.

  Shen Mengyan shuddered when she heard Ning Cheng’s words. When Ning Cheng spoke about bugs, she immediately recalled the scene when they had just entered the Mysterious Yellow Starland. The one where they got surrounded by those scary-looking black insects.

  The blood lake, as if alerted by the conversation between him and Shen Mengyan, started to bubble up as if someone lit a fire underneath it. At the same time, dense ‘cha-cha’ sounds began to emerge from it as each bubble popped on reaching the surface.

  Shen Mengyan watched with a horrified expression as a seemingly endless swarm of dark-red insects emerged
from the blood lake. These dark-red insects were only the size of a rice grain but had a layer of thick mucus covering it. Moreover, the sheer numbers crawling out of the blood lake and over each other made it feel like she had entered a terrifying nightmare. From the looks of it, these insects had already noticed her and Ning Cheng’s aura the moment they stepped inside this place.

  At the same time, a terrifying and powerful spacial pressure descended over both of them. Shen Mengyan immediately felt her control over the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort starting to slip.

  “Aunt Yan, try your best to control the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, I will go and save that person.” Ning Cheng immediately brought out the Celestial Rainbow Purgatory Spear. If Ning Cheng were still in the Heaven Seated Realm, this pressure would have also suppressed him. But now, Ning Cheng’s cultivation had far surpassed the original Heaven Seated Realm. Even without fully recovering from his injuries, his current strength still far exceeded that of in the Heaven Seated Realm.

  As this seemingly endless swarm of insects pounced on Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng raised his hand and cast a Time Wheel. These bugs were not only disgusting but were also extremely tough. However, Ning Cheng believed that no matter how tough these insects were, they couldn’t counteract the effects of his Time Wheel. After all, it was a Laws of Time-related spirit technique.

  As the grey Time Wheel swept out, Ning Cheng felt relieved to see piles of those dark-red insects get crushed into nothingness under the Time Wheel. He wasn’t truly afraid of facing these many insects, but he did feel fearful of not having enough power to kill them all.

  As long as Time Wheels could take care of these insects, he didn’t need to worry too much. No matter how many or how powerful these bugs were, it wouldn’t mean a thing under the Time Wheel’s sweep.

  The insects kept pouncing on Ning Cheng, but Ning Cheng kept dropping array flags while also casting more Time Wheels. He knew that these insects, under the control of the Altar of Forefather’s Library, would form a huge Blood-sucking Grand Array. This Blood-sucking Grand Array could even suck out the essence blood from his body. Ning Cheng felt worried that he wouldn’t be able to resist it, so he decided to arrange an array formation first to counteract it.
