The Lead Mountain Range actually belonged to an uninhabited domain. The Spirit Qi in this place was weak, and the laws here were vague. Because of this, this place generally didn't have any treasures, and no one was willing to open up a cave in this place to cultivate.
Plus, the location of the Lead Mountain wasn't very good. Although it was close to the Jia Liang Mountain, it was only equivalent to a third-step expert like Ning Cheng. For ordinary starry sky cultivators, the closest place to the Jia Liang Mountain was the Immortal Falling Boat Void City.
Mang Yong had told Ning Cheng about the Starry Sky Wheel's artifact spirit in the Lead Mountain, so Ning Cheng believed that Mang Yong wouldn't speak nonsense. If Mang Yong spoke nonsense, he wouldn't have recognized his Starry Sky Wheel.
With Ning Cheng and Yu Qing's speed, even the hundreds of millions of miles of the Lead Mountain Range would only take them a short distance.
In less than half an incense stick worth of time, Ning Cheng and Yu Qing landed outside a tumbling magma lake. Moreover, he and Yu Qing didn't rush over. If he were alone, he could even reach this place from outside the Lead Mountain Range in just one step.
"Huh, there's a cave here? Who would cultivate here? "Yu Qing saw the cave on the edge of the magma lake and exclaimed.
Yu Qing focused on Ning Cheng along the way and didn't pay attention to her surroundings at all. Ning Cheng had already seen the cave on the edge of the magma lake that Mang Yong had mentioned. This cave had a Spiritual Consciousness Shielding Array, but he didn't use his spiritual consciousness to break it.
"Someone is indeed cultivating here, but this magma lake isn't simple." Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness swept into the magma lake.
The magma lake had a radius of ten thousand feet, and the magma inside was brownish-red in colour. It looked like tofu in a pot of boiling oil, constantly tumbling. A scorching hot aura assaulted his face. At the surface of the magma lake, the temperature seemed to be within the normal range of magma, but every ten feet or so deeper, the temperature would double.
Even with Ning Cheng's strength, he couldn't see the bottom of the magma lake. The deeper his spiritual consciousness went, the deeper the obstruction became. When he got close to the bottom of the magma lake, his spiritual consciousness even started to burn, which showed how amazing this magma lake was.
Hearing Ning Cheng's words, Yu Qing's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the magma lake. She immediately felt that the magma lake was not ordinary. Her Spiritual Consciousness was much weaker than Ning Cheng's, and the depth of her contact was much shallower. Therefore, when she retracted her Spiritual Consciousness, she could not clearly see what was at the bottom of the magma lake.
"Big brother, given the temperature, will something happen to the artefact spirit?" Yu Qing asked worriedly.
Ning Cheng also had some doubts, but he did not answer Yu Qing's words, as his gaze fell onto the Immortal Cave not far away. The restrictions on the cave abode were activated, and the person inside was about to come out.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Brother Ning's strength has long since surpassed mine." A figure hurriedly walked out of the Immortal Cave and greeted Ning Cheng with cupped fists.
Ning Cheng showed a faint smile, "I was wondering who was cultivating here. It turns out to be Dao Friend Mang."
Mang Yong only had one goal for cultivating here, and that was to wait for him here. Otherwise, cultivating in this place with weak laws and void of god spiritual energy would be like trying to fish from a tree. Mang Yong's realm had already reached the late-stage Dao Integration Realm, which showed that his aptitude and opportunities were equally impressive. Ning Cheng remembered that when he and Mang Yong had separated on the Jia Liang Mountain, Mang Yong had only reached the Primordial Dao Realm.
At the same time, this fellow's luck was also extraordinary. Ning Cheng had thought that this fellow had died during the fusion in the Jia Liang Sea. He had not expected that he would still be alive.
"Brother Ning, I've been waiting for you here," Mang Yong said hurriedly.
He was secretly shocked when he saw Ning Cheng. He had thought that he had reached the late-stage Primordial Chaos Realm and that Ning Cheng was at most at this level. However, he could not see Ning Cheng's cultivation level at all. Ning Cheng looked like an ordinary person without any abnormalities.
Mang Yong would never think that Ning Cheng was an ordinary person. It was not the first time he had dealt with Ning Cheng. He could never see through Ning Cheng's trump cards, which made him feel very afraid of Ning Cheng. It was not realistic that Ning Cheng had reached the third step, but he had most likely reached the perfected Dao Integration Realm.
Ning Cheng nodded. "Dao Friend Mang, please speak."
His deal with Mang Yong had already ended, but he had not had the time to collect the Starry Sky Wheel's artefact spirit.
"I wonder if Brother Ning knows about the Mountain Gaze?" Mang Yong asked carefully. He guessed that Ning Cheng was stronger than him. Moreover, he had hidden something from Ning Cheng when he had made a deal with him. The Starry Sky Wheel's artefact spirit was in the magma lake, but one could not enter the magma lake without reaching the perfected Dao Integration Realm.
"I know. The Gate of Fortune opens in front of the Mountain Gaze," said Ning Cheng. He had once befriended Dao Lord Mountain Gaze, but Dao Lord Mountain Gaze's Mountain Gaze was fake. The real Mountain Gaze was the Mountain Gaze after the Jia Liang Mountain. The real Mountain Gaze would only appear when the Gate of Fortune was about to open.
Mang Yong said solemnly, "Brother Ning, do you know that the Mountain Gaze has already appeared?"
"The Mountain Gaze has appeared?" Ning Cheng was shocked. The appearance of the Mountain Gaze meant that the Gate of Fortune was about to open. It seemed that he had to quickly collect the Starry Sky Wheel's artefact spirit and go back to prepare to snatch the Gate of Fortune.
Mang Yong said affirmatively, "The Mountain Gaze has really appeared. Although it's just an outline, it's majestic and breathtaking. The Dao Rune Law of Heaven and Earth is extremely clear. Countless people are rushing to the Mountain Gaze. Some people want to cultivate closer to the Mountain Gaze, while others want to obtain some opportunities at the foot of the Mountain Gaze. "
"How many years has it been since the Mountain Gaze appeared?" Ning Cheng asked hurriedly.
"Nearly a thousand years …"
"That's impossible." Ning Cheng interrupted Mang Yong, feeling extremely puzzled. There was no reason for him not to know that the Mountain Gaze had appeared for a thousand years. Even if the news could not reach the Grand Essence Realm, he still had some strength in the Heaven's Beyond of Heaven and Earth.
Mang Yong quickly explained, "Brother Ning, the Mountain Gaze was only confirmed in the last two or three years. It was just an outline before. Countless people want to get close to the Mountain Gaze, but no matter how fast they are, they can only see the outline of the mountain. They can't walk to the front of the Mountain Gaze at all. Three years ago, the outline of the Mountain Gaze became clearer. Only then did someone confirm that it was the Mountain Gaze. "
"Then why are you waiting for me here?" After knowing that the Mountain Gaze had appeared, Ning Cheng did not want to stay here any longer.
"Brother Ning, I've been on the Jia Liang Mountain. In fact, I already knew that the outline was the Mountain Gaze. I also know that it's difficult to get close to the Mountain Gaze with my second-step strength …"
Ning Cheng interrupted Mang Yong again. He understood what Mang Yong meant and said faintly, "So you plan to use my Starry Sky Wheel to send you to the Mountain Gaze?"
Since Mang Yong dared to cooperate with him here, he definitely did not know what he had done in the chaotic void. Otherwise, Mang Yong would not have dared to stay here and wait for him even if he had ten thousand guts. Mang Yong was also a well-informed person. Even if he did not know about the chaotic inner realm, the only possibility was that this guy had not come out of seclusion for a long time, or he had just come out of the Jia Liang Sea.
Mang Yong said very seriously, "That's right. Brother Ning, theoretically, it's impossible to reach the Mountain Gaze. However, I don't think it's because it's impossible, but because it's not fast enough. As long as you have enough speed, you can definitely reach the Mountain Gaze. As soon as I came out of seclusion, I thought of Brother Ning. Only after Brother Ning's Starry Sky Wheel and the Starry Sky Wheel's Artifact Spirit merge would you have a real chance to get close to the Mountain Gaze.
Brother Ning also knows that my strength is about to reach the full-circle of Dao Integration. I'm sure that I can reach the full-circle of Dao Integration on the way to the Mountain Gaze. I believe that Brother Ning is already half-step into the third step. With our strength, how many people can stop us in front of the Mountain Gaze? "
Ning Cheng laughed in his heart. How long had Mang Yong been in seclusion? The chaotic void had shattered, and many powerhouses had come out. Besides, when the Gate of Good Fortune opened, powerhouses from other places would also come over. Two Dao Integration cultivators wanted to compete in front of the Mountain Gaze. How strong was their nervous system?
"So you came here to see if the Starry Sky Wheel's Artifact Spirit is still there. If it's not there, you will give up. If it's there, you will wait here for me to take the Starry Sky Wheel's Artifact Spirit, right?" Ning Cheng's tone remained calm.
Mang Yong quickly said, "That's right. Brother Ning, this opportunity is really rare."
"I'm not interested. I'm going to look for the Starry Sky Wheel's Artifact Spirit. Daoist Mang, please make way." Ning Cheng refused without hesitation.
What kind of joke was this? He was a Integration Realm expert. Why would he cooperate with someone who hadn't even reached the third step and bring him to the Mountain Gaze? Besides, what benefits would he get from this cooperation?
"Brother Ning, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. You know that even if we are half-step into the third step, it's still not enough to compete for the Gate of Good Fortune. I know a secret about the Mountain Gaze. As long as we can reach this place ahead of time, it's very likely that we can truly reach the third step when the Gate of Good Fortune opens … "Mang Yong deliberately paused and looked at Ning Cheng.
He wasn't afraid that Ning Cheng would disagree. The Gate of Good Fortune was destined to be a battlefield for third-step experts. If they wanted to gain a foothold in the Gate of Good Fortune, they had to reach the third step.
Ning Cheng hadn't expected Mang Yong to have such self-awareness. He knew that the Gate of Good Fortune was a place for third-step experts to compete for. Unfortunately, Mang Yong hadn't noticed that Ning Cheng had already reached the third step and had even integrated the Primordial Dao Runes.
Moreover, Ning Cheng had recently grafted the Creation Wood, which allowed his strength to rise to a higher level. However, many of the people around him hadn't reached the third step. If he could obtain Mang Yong's secret, he would have more helpers when the Gate of Good Fortune opened in the future.
"What's the secret?" Ning Cheng stared at Mang Yong and asked.
Mang Yong chuckled, "As long as we reach the Mountain Gaze, I will definitely take Brother Ning there."
Ning Cheng ignored Mang Yong and said to Yu Qing, "I'm going down to look for the Starry Sky Wheel. Do you want to go down with me or stay here and wait for me?"
"Of course, we're going down together." Yu Qing glanced at Mang Yong and thought to herself that he actually wanted to trade with Ning Cheng for reaching the third step.
"Okay, then let's go." While speaking, Ning Cheng took Yu Qing's hand and jumped into the magma lake.
After Ning Cheng jumped into the boiling magma lake, it automatically parted to form a passage. Mang Yong, who remained outside the magma lake, felt a little stunned. He suddenly realised that he seemed to have made a mistake.
Was Ning Cheng really at Dao Integration?
