After Ning Cheng returned to the Bright Gist Resting Pen, Lan Ya and Shi Yulan had yet to return. Ning Cheng felt worried about Jing Wuming and could only wait.
After knowing the purpose of Imperial Concubine Xuan Yu looking for him, Ning Cheng understood that he had to come up with the cultivation method for cultivating his Spiritual Consciousness; otherwise, it would be difficult for him and Jing Wuming to escape.
Therefore, after Ning Cheng returned, he decided to wait for Jing Wuming while deducing the cultivation method for cultivating his Spiritual Consciousness. He was ready to deduce a rough Spiritual Consciousness Cultivation Method and hand it over to Imperial Concubine Xuan Yu. As long as he arrived at Striking Order Starry Skies, things would become much easier.
To Ning Cheng's surprise, Jing Wuming returned to the Bright Gist Resting Pen in less than a day. Not only did he come back, but he also looked to be in good condition.
Jing Wuming did not return to his residence and went directly to Ning Cheng's room.
"That Xuan Yu didn't come with you and let you go so easily?" Ning Cheng looked at Jing Wuming in doubt.
Jing Wuming's expression turned a bit awkward and only shook his head after a while. He looked a bit hesitant, not knowing what to say to Ning Cheng.
"John Doe, what's the matter? Just say it. "Ning Cheng was not in the mood to play riddles with Jing Wuming.
"Brother Xiaocheng, I think I fell in love with Xuan Yu, I …."
"What?" Even with Ning Cheng's calmness, he still felt shocked by Jing Wuming's words. This fellow truly wanted to shock people to death with his words.
Jing Wuming calmed down and spoke with certainty, "I fell in love with Xuan Yu, just like how I fell in love with Yu Lan. I thought that I could only be alone for the rest of my life, and that I would never like another woman, but I couldn't refuse Xuan Yu, she let me know, I … "
Ning Cheng interrupted Jing Wuming's words and spoke up in a deep voice, "Wuming, you need to make things clear. You and Shi Yulan do not have any chance. You have to know who that Xuan Yu is, the woman of a Celestial River King. Besides, I don't want my brother to be the third party. "
Jing Wuming took in a deep breath and looked at Ning Cheng with a serious expression before speaking, "I like Yulan, but I know that it is absolutely impossible between us. Even if she was willing, my ancestors wouldn't allow me to be with her, not to mention that she wouldn't be with me, the son of her father's murderer. "
"If we can't be together, then we can't be together. Let's put this matter aside. Tell me about Xuan Yu." Ning Cheng frowned. Imperial Concubine Xuan Yu was a woman of the Celestial River King. What did Jing Wuming and a married woman mean?
"She asked me how I knew you, and where you came from. I didn't know what was going on, but I told her everything. I didn't even conceal the matter between me and Shi Yulan. After listening to me, she was silent for a long time. Then, she told me many things about her …
Xuan Yu was a pitiful woman. She did not have the kind of glory that she seemed to have on the surface. Moreover, I can never forget her ….. "Although Jing Wuming's tone was slow, it was very firm.
"You slept with her?" How could Ning Cheng not understand what was going on? He had only returned for half a day, yet Jing Wuming and Imperial Concubine Xuan Yu ended up on the same bed.
Jing Wuming nodded, "Her elder sister is called Lu Yu. Back then, Orchid Borough Celestial River King liked her elder sister, Lu Yu. At that time, Lu Yu already had someone she loved. To avoid marrying the Orchid Borough Celestial River King, Lu Yu and her lover escaped from the Orchid Borough Celestial River. The Orchid Borough Celestial River King vented his anger on Lu Yu's family. Fortunately, he saw Xuan Yu and changed his target. Xuan Yu married the Orchid Borough Celestial River King to protect her family, without even half a shred of love. "
Ning Cheng spoke up speechlessly, "You have to think about it. This is not a trivial matter. Once the Orchid Borough Celestial River King learns about it, we would all die. "
"I won't take any risks. Xuan Yu told me that I still have to go to the Time Wilderness. When I come out of the Time Wilderness, she and I will secretly leave the Striking Order Starry Skies. If I can't come out of the Time Wilderness, she will have to leave the Striking Order Starry Skies alone. A few months ago, after her younger brother died, she no longer has a family. "Jing Wuming spoke in a calm tone, but it was also very firm.
Ning Cheng stood up and patted Jing Wuming's shoulder, "You have to think about it carefully. Remember to tell Lan Ya and Shi Yulan about this. Otherwise, if you take away the Orchid Borough Celestial River King's concubine, the Orchid Borough Celestial River King would definitely fly into a rage. At that time, everyone who came in contact with you would be in danger. "
… …
After sending Jing Wuming away, Ning Cheng pondered for a long time. This matter, from the beginning to the end, felt a little strange. Imperial Concubine Xuan Yu was such an excellent woman, with a cultivation far higher than Jing Wuming's. Even if she looked down on the Orchid Borough Celestial River King, why would she get involved with Jing Wuming, right?
Although Jing Wuming was a good person, she should not have taken a liking to him. What was the purpose of this woman and Jing Wuming together? Was it really love at first sight?
If one had to say that it was fake, then how could it be fake when she and Jing Wuming slept together? For a woman with cultivation at the level of Xuan Yu, as long as she was not a slut, she would take this kind of thing very seriously.
Perhaps Xuan Yu really felt touched by Jing Wuming's infatuation with Shi Yulan and felt that this man was worthy of her love. Or maybe she wanted to leave the Orchid Borough Celestial River and just happened to meet Jing Wuming.
Ning Cheng gave out a sigh. Whether it was true or not, the sooner he left the Orchid Borough Celestial River, the better.
… …
Three days later, a silver Void Airship left the Orchid Borough Public Square. Like a distorted shadow, it rushed out of the Orchid Borough Star.
This was the airship from the Orchid Borough Celestial River to the Man Lun Starry Skies. It contained 10,000 participating cultivators, as well as countless cultivators who wanted to board the airship. The 10,000 selected cultivators did not need to pay for the airship; however, the cultivators who wanted to board the airship to the Man Lun Starry Skies would have to pay a high airship fee.
This was the first time that Ning Cheng had boarded a top-grade Celestial River Airship. However, this top-grade Celestial River Airship, in addition to carrying people, also had the function of a top-grade Celestial River Battleship. One could say that this airship was a Celestial River Battleship.
This airship looked just like a small city, with five floors above and below. At the bottom floor were some of the poorer cultivators. They had already taken out all their Celestial Coins to board the airship and had no extra money. As such, they could only live together on the bottom floor.
On the top floor were some of the cultivators with high cultivation and status. Not only did they have their own residences, but they also had luxurious residences.
The fourth and third floors were the residences of some of the middle-level cultivators. There were also a variety of merchant houses, hotels, and other establishments. As long as one had the money, one could live a luxurious life on this Void Airship.
The second floor was also where the ordinary cultivators lived. It also contained some low-level merchant houses, but compared to the third and fourth floors, the level of these merchant houses was much lower.
Ning Cheng and the other participating cultivators lived on the second floor. Although the place was not very spacious, the top 5,000 to 1,000 cultivators each had a single room. As for the top 1,000 cultivators, they did not live on the second floor, but on the third floor.
Since entering the Void Airship, Ning Cheng had not seen Imperial Concubine Xuan Yu. However, from Jing Wuming's demeanour, he could tell that he and Xuan Yu had made good progress. Ning Cheng did not ask Jing Wuming about this matter. He was not a person who liked to gossip. He only asked about it because he was worried.
Shi Yulan and Lan Ya apparently got some information from Jing Wuming. After the two of them entered the airship, they did not come out of their rooms. Ruan Mingshu lived on the third floor and did not come down to look for Ning Cheng.
After Ning Cheng walked around the merchant house on the airship, he returned to his room. From the Revolving Jade City to the Striking Order Starry Skies' main continent, Striking Order Starland, it would take a few months. During these few months, he could integrate his cultivation.
Ning Cheng had gained a lot from the battle with Suo Qiaoye; however, he did not have the time to go into seclusion to sort out his gains. Now that he had half a year's time, he could use it to his advantage.
… …
The Mysterious Yellow Formless might be the best cultivation method within the starry skies, but even if Ning Cheng knew about his shortcomings, it would not be a simple matter to integrate what he had learned.
Three months later, Ning Cheng's cultivation had steadily advanced to the middle-stage Celestial Novice Realm; however, he still could not find a way to attack his Spiritual Consciousness. Apart from the slight improvement in his cultivation, the only improvement he had made was the name of his most powerful Spear Intent, Traceless.
This move was something he had comprehended from the projection of the Everlasting Blue Thunder City. At that time, a powerful cultivator had used a purple long spear to kill a powerhouse capable of blasting apart a planet. After he saw it, he felt extremely shocked and gained a new understanding.
He had also used this spear to kill many powerhouses. When this spear was brought out, without any warning, without leaving even half a trace, it could directly cut through space and kill the opponent. It was appropriate to call this move 'Traceless'.
By now, he had at least two powerful Spear Intents, the Nothingness Flame Patterned Spear and Traceless.
… …
On this day, Ning Cheng was still deducing the Spiritual Consciousness attack when he felt the entire room shaking.
Was there an attack from a starry skies' demonic beast? Ning Cheng immediately thought of starry skies' demonic beasts. He had been in seclusion here for three or four months, and everything had remained stable. This top-grade Void Airship, if not a starry skies' demonic beast, could not shake it under normal circumstances.
Ning Cheng did not go out to take a look. In the face of this top-grade Celestial River Airship, coupled with an expert like a Celestial River King, ordinary starry skies' demonic beasts would not stand a chance. Besides, even if he went out, he would not be able to play much of a role.
However, after an hour, the shaking not only did not weaken, but instead grew even stronger. Even the restrictions covering the room started to crack. Ning Cheng stood up, it looks like the starry skies' demonic beasts were not simple.
At this time, the restrictions covering the door also started to shake. Ning Cheng opened the restriction and saw Lan Ya and Shi Yulan standing anxiously at the door. He immediately asked, "What's going on?"
"You really aren't in a hurry. Our airship suffered an endless siege from the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rat Tide. More than half of the restrictions covering the hull broke, and even a Heaven Seated expert died under the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rat Tide. Everyone is fleeing in all directions, let's hurry up and escape ….. "Lan Ya spoke up anxiously.
"What?" Ning Cheng felt shocked in his heart, and at the same time, swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness. After entering the starry skies, Ning Cheng had learned about the starry skies' demonic beasts, and was not unfamiliar with the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rat. This was a terrifying and terrifying starry skies' demonic beast. When there were many of these demonic beasts, they could even cover the entire range of one's Spiritual Consciousness.
Once the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats found their target, they would never feel fear and would swarm towards it. No matter what it was, as long as it contained Spiritual Qi, they would crazily rush up and bite it until they finished eating it. Moreover, the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats were highly toxic. Once bitten, one would definitely be poisoned.
Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness swept out, and when he saw the broken restrictions covering the airship and the endless starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rats rushing towards them, his scalp turned numb.
