Ning Cheng's face was extremely pale, and he looked extremely thin. If not for his attainments in array formations advancing to Rank 8, he would have long since had his essence blood sucked dry by the surrounding vines.
Even so, it was still extremely difficult for him to persist. Over the past 20 years, he had almost used up all the materials he had on him to set up the array formation. He was not sure how long he could persist.
Twenty years ago, he was at the 4th Level of Sea Opening Realm. Twenty years later, he was still at the 4th Level of Sea Opening Realm. Apart from the fact that his Spiritual Consciousness was constantly tempered and strengthened due to being trapped, his cultivation had not advanced even half a step.
He had even tried using the Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique once. Unfortunately, although the Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique was extremely powerful, it could not affect the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan with the false Spacial Collapse. The Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique indeed managed to burn the surrounding vines in an instant; however, he could not rush to the entrance of the cave before he was sucked in once again.
Fortunately, his 36 Cosmic True Devil Axes and his array formation methods saved him once again, allowing him to persist until today.
If not for cultivation, how many twenty years would he have in his life? If not for a cultivator, not to mention 20 long years of life, he would have to fight against these vines every day. Even if a person was trapped in a place for 20 years, it would still drive them crazy.
Ning Cheng was in a difficult situation. Compared to Xiao Bisheng, Mu Ziming and Jia Shisan, he was many times better off.
Xiao Bisheng, Mu Ziming and the other two had already been entangled by the vines more than a decade ago. Although their cultivations were above the Crucible Transformation Realm, their situation was not as good as Ning Cheng's. If not for their cultivation, the three of them would have long since turned into skeletons under the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan.
Even so, at this moment, the three of them had a skinny appearance.
"Jia Shisan, since we are going to die anyway, why don't you give Ning Cheng the method to capture the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King with the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree. Maybe Ning Cheng can save our lives." The skinny Xiao Bisheng could not bear it anymore. He knew that he could not persist for another 20 years.
Jia Shisan opened and closed his skeleton-like mouth and snorted, "You said it yourself, since we are going to die anyway, why should I let this cunning thing control my life and death?"
Ning Cheng had the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree, once Ning Cheng could use the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree to affect the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan, then his life and death would truly be in Ning Cheng's hands.
Although he spoke out with extreme resentment towards Ning Cheng, but in fact, the two people in his heart that he hated the most were Xiao Bisheng and Mu Ziming.
If not for these two fellows, he would not have needed to enter this place to subdue Ning Cheng. He could have subdued Ning Cheng first, and then brought him to this place as a sacrifice to the vines. It was precisely because of the appearance of these two meddlesome fellows that he had no choice but to lead Xiao Bisheng and the other into the Blue Cave.
Originally, he wanted to catch Ning Cheng the moment he was sucked into the blue hole, but he had never thought that Ning Cheng would unexpectedly have such a breathtaking Spear Intent, moreover he even had the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings. This caused his plan to fail. Not only did he fail to capture the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King, but he also ended up becoming food for the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan.
In fact, even without Jia Shisan's words, Ning Cheng had already tried everything to use the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree to recover the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King in this place.
Unfortunately, on one hand, he had to refine Array Flags to block these vines, on the other hand, he also had to improve his Array Formation level. If not for his Mysterious Yellow Formless Cultivation Method being incomparably heaven defying, he would not have the leisure to think about the matter of the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree capturing the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King. Using the 9-Coloured Mirage Tree to capture the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King, if it was so simple, then among the four people here, Jia Shisan would not be the only one who knew about it.
"Ning Cheng, you once cast a Fire Attribute Magical Skill, which seemed to have caused the surrounding space to collapse, and then the flames completely burned the surroundings. Don't you have a strange flame? "Mu Ziming did not try to persuade Jia Shisan. He was much more clear about Jia Shisan's character compared to Xiao Bisheng. This person was definitely a ruthless person. He was ruthless to others and equally ruthless to himself. Asking him to hand over the method to subdue the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King using the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree was absolutely impossible.
Ning Cheng sighed and said, "That's right, I do indeed have a Fire Seed, but this Fire Seed has also sprouted, and has turned into a real flame. Unfortunately, it was still in its embryonic form and its level was too low. Even if it was the Magical Skill that I had cast, it required the support of my True Essence and Spiritual Consciousness to complete. Now that my True Essence is exhausted, I am unable to cast this Magical Skill again. "
"I'm not asking you to continue casting this Magical Skill, but to directly burn these Underworld Crow Ghost Rattans with fire. These Ghost Rattans are definitely afraid of this strange flame. Once you can use this flame to burn them, maybe we can all get out of this predicament. " Mu Ziming's voice trembled slightly. He was just guessing, he did not think that Ning Cheng would really have this kind of strange flame.
If not for this kind of place, he would never have asked Ning Cheng about this strange flame. Possessing this kind of thing was a cultivator's biggest secret, and inquiring about this kind of thing was definitely a taboo. Now that everyone was trapped in this place, if they did not think of a way out, then only death awaited them.
Ning Cheng gave a bitter smile and spoke, "Senior Mu, I do have this flame. As I said a moment ago, the level of my flame is too low, and there is no way to burn these Ghost Rattans. If I could burn them, I would have already done it. "
"What kind of flame do you have?" Mu Ziming's tone did not show much disappointment; instead, he was looking forward to it. He was tightly bound to the wall of the blue hole by the countless rattans, as such he found it somewhat difficult to speak. His excited tone could still be expressed through this kind of strenuous effort.
"It's called Star River Flame, I don't know what kind of flame it is." Ning Cheng did not conceal it and honestly replied.
"Star River Flame?" Mu Ziming frowned and repeated the words. He had never heard of such a flame, was it because he was ignorant and inexperienced?
Xiao Bisheng suddenly spoke up from the side, "Brother Mu, I heard that you have a Desiccated Purple Flame Heart, is it true?"
Mu Ziming also gave a sigh and spoke, "That's right, I did indeed obtain a Desiccated Purple Flame Heart. In the past, I almost died in the Desiccated Flame Realm, and had to go through many hardships. Finally, it was not in vain, and I managed to obtain this Desiccated Purple Flame Heart. Originally, I was thinking of finding a good flame in the future, so that this Desiccated Purple Flame Heart could play its role. Unfortunately, a famous flame between the heavens and the earth is as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn in my Yi Xing Mainland. It is something that can only be found by chance and not sought. "
Ning Cheng felt moved in his heart, he did not know much about the various kinds of strange flames between the heavens and the earth. However, the Desiccated Purple Flame Heart was like a thunderclap piercing his ears. One could say that among all the materials he had, even the Cosmic True Devil Metal was not as good as this Desiccated Purple Flame Heart. Other than the materials for the Nirvana Spear that he did not know, the only thing that he could take out was the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds.
The Desiccated Purple Flame Heart was a top-notch treasure that could allow flames to evolve. Did Mu Ziming want to give this thing to him so that his Star River Flame could evolve?
Sure enough, Ning Cheng had just thought of this, when Mu Ziming spoke up, "Ning Cheng, I have a Desiccated Purple Flame Heart here, which can allow any of the strange flames between the heavens and the earth to evolve. However, the worse the grade of the flame, the longer it would take. Even if it was a better flame, it would still take more than a hundred years. As for the worse flames, it would even take hundreds of years.
I can't hold on for such a long time, but I have a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood, so that I can fall in advance, and then leave behind a trace of my Life Essence in the Soul Nourishing Wood. I only have one request, that is, Ning Cheng, if you manage to escape, please bring this trace of my Life Essence to my son, Mu Qian. "
Ning Cheng spoke up with joy, "Senior can rest assured, my flame is different from ordinary flames. Maybe in just a few years, it would be able to evolve. Therefore, Senior does not need to be anxious, let me give it a try first. "
The reason why Ning Cheng had such confidence was that he knew where his flame came from. This was a flame from the Immortal Mansion, how could an ordinary Heaven and Earth Fire Seed compare to it?
Mu Ziming reluctantly showed a smile and spoke, "I can persist for another ten or twenty years ….."
Saying that, Mu Ziming threw out a jade box. He still had a few words that he did not say, for him, persisting for a day was equivalent to suffering for another day.
Jia Shisan looked at the jade box on the ground, while his skeletal eyes turned back and forth. What made him feel helpless was that, at this moment, only Ning Cheng had the means to pick up the jade box on the ground with his Spiritual Consciousness.
… …
If one had to say which academy was the most prosperous in the Tian Continent in recent years, then it would undoubtedly be the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect that did not have a Sect Master.
Fifteen years ago, a Crucible Transformation Cultivator by the name of Meng Jingxiu joined the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. After that, Crucible Transformation Cultivators emerged one after another in the academy. Especially the Rainbow Fall Sword Peak of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. Ning Cheng had only been away for a short period of 30-40 years, when five Crucible Transformation Cultivators appeared. Ning Ruolan, Ji Luofei, Taishu Pinghao, Zhang Qian and Liang Kexin.
Even the youngest Crucible Transformation Cultivator in the Tian Continent appeared, Taishu Pinghao.
Even if the qualifications of Yang Honghuo, Nan Yuefang, Zhuang Jingyi, Lian 'e were slightly worse, they at least had a cultivation above the Soul Essence Realm.
In contrast, the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect's Core Disciples and True Inheriting Disciples, such as Que Hongshui, Luo Ziyan, Xun Hanrui, Hu Hong, Liang Shi, Xian Caixue and the others, almost all of them had become Crucible Transformation Cultivators.
Even if the cultivators did not know about the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, they would still be able to understand the reason behind it. The Rainbow Fall Sword Sect's Grand Elder Rui Baishan had opened the Small Spiritual Domain, allowing all cultivators below the Soul Essence Realm to enjoy the opportunity to cultivate in the Small Spiritual Domain. Even if they exchanged points for cultivation time, it would not be as difficult as it was in the past.
Of course, this was not the main reason. The most important thing was that the Rainbow Fall Sword Peak had a Perception Pagoda.
This Perception Pagoda was established by the new Elder of the Rainbow Fall Sword Peak, Meng Jingxiu. As long as one had a certain amount of qualifications, not only would one's cultivation speed be extremely fast inside this Perception Pagoda, it would also not have any bottlenecks. All the people who entered the Perception Pagoda to cultivate said that inside the Perception Pagoda, they could feel a new kind of Spiritual Qi. This Spiritual Qi was several times better than cultivating with Spirit Stones. Moreover, it allowed them to automatically comprehend some things that their masters could not teach them.
… …
The Rainbow Fall Sword Peak's Discussion Hall was filled with people. What was different from more than a decade ago was that half of the people here were Crucible Transformation Experts. In addition to the disciples of the Rainbow Fall Sword Peak, even Que Hongshui, Luo Ziyan, Xun Hanrui, Hu Hong, Liang Shi and the others were present. Because this discussion was not a trivial matter.
For Que Hongshui and the other True Inheriting Disciples, the reason why they could advance to the Crucible Transformation Realm in just a few decades was because of the Rainbow Fall Sword Peak's Perception Pagoda. Without this Perception Pagoda, even if they had a few more decades, it would still be impossible for so many Crucible Transformation Cultivators to appear among them. Thinking about the source of drinking water, since the Rainbow Fall Sword Peak was in trouble, it was only right that they took action.
