Ning Cheng had just returned to Stately River Star when he met Yi Jiufeng waiting outside.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix, why are you here?" Ning Cheng put away the Starry Sky Wheel and asked in doubt.
When Yi Jiufeng saw Ning Cheng, her face immediately showed a hint of relief, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I knew you would be fine. That's why I've been waiting for you here after I've finished some things. "
Ning Cheng quickly spoke up, "Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix, please come to my Mysterious Yellow Sect to talk. Staying outside is not the way to treat guests."
Yi Jiufeng shook her head, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I came here to say goodbye to you. I will leave after I finish speaking here. I will not enter the Mysterious Yellow Sect. In fact, I was prepared to wait for another month. After a month, if Senior Apprentice Brother Ning still hasn't returned, then I would also be planning to leave. "
"Goodbye?" Ning Cheng looked at Yi Jiufeng in doubt. He couldn't understand what Yi Jiufeng meant. Since Yi Jiufeng wanted to return to Spirit Heaven, there was no need for her to say goodbye to him. Although he and Yi Jiufeng had a good relationship, it wasn't to the point where he had to come over and say hello to her over such a trivial matter. Moreover, he had to wait for a few months.
Yi Jiufeng understood Ning Cheng's doubts and gave out a sigh, "I plan to leave this side of the starry sky. I've already handed over the Grand Spirit Heaven Starry Sky to others. Not only me, but Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor, Qiao Jierui, and Zhangkang Tianji also left this place. If I am not wrong, it should be very difficult for them to come back. Including myself, once I leave, it will be very difficult for me to return. "
"Is Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart willing to leave Grand Culmination Starry Sky? I thought that he would not give up until he killed me. "Ning Cheng spoke with a smile.
Yi Jiufeng didn't ridicule Chuan Xinlou this time. Instead, she spoke up with a lonely tone, "Compared to the vast law world, even if you dominate this place for countless eras, what can you do? In the past, we hid here and fought with each other, but we were just frogs in a well. Now that we know there are higher planes of laws, we don't even need to prove our Dao to go there. Who would still be willing to stay here? "
"The five grand realms?" Ning Cheng immediately understood. Who would want to stay here and enjoy their retirement if they knew about the five grand realms? Among those who could cultivate to the level of Chuan Xinlou and Yi Jiufeng, which one of them wasn't a wise person with a brilliant mind? This kind of person would definitely not stay here and wait for death after knowing that there was a stronger plane.
"Five Grand Realms?" Yi Jiufeng repeated in doubt before saying, "I don't know. Take a look at this."
After Yi Jiufeng finished, she took out a crystal stone and put it in Ning Cheng's hand. Ning Cheng held the crystal and immediately felt a higher grade of Essence Spirit Qi. Even the purer Permanent Essence Pills couldn't compare to it. He looked at Yi Jiufeng in shock and asked, "What kind of crystal is this?"
Ning Cheng thought that if he used this crystal stone for cultivation, he would be able to reach the late-stage Eternal Realm in a much shorter time. At the same time, he wouldn't need to spend a lot of time in seclusion.
"These are the crystals used for cultivation in their place. These things are as common as ordinary starry sky crystals in our place. Even the various Dao Fruits are not rare in their world. "Yi Jiufeng spoke with a sigh.
She thought back to the time when the few of them went to the Ancient Shadow Temple together. Chuan Xinlou had obtained a Dao Fruit, and even succeeded in reaching Dao Confirming Realm with this Dao Fruit. His achievements far surpassed the three of them.
"You mean the place where the Ninth Prince is?" Ning Cheng returned the crystal stone to Yi Jiufeng and asked.
"Take this crystal stone, I still have a few more." Yi Jiufeng pushed the crystal stone back to Ning Cheng and said, "Yes, the person who gave us the crystal stone and traded with us is called Ku Sheng. Chuan Xinlou severely injured Ku Sheng, and to save his life, he traded a lot of starry sky spirit grasses with us. At the same time, it also showed us that we were just frogs in a well and had shallow knowledge. "
Ning Cheng felt even more puzzled, "Wasn't Chuan Xinlou fighting Yi Mingyuan?"
Yi Jiufeng replied, "I'm not as good as Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor. He pretended to be seriously injured and escaped during his fight with Yi Mingyuan. In fact, he didn't leave at all but hid outside the Mysterious Yellow Starland. Zhangkang Tianji and Qiao Jierui, on seeing Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor escape, quickly rushed out of the Mysterious Yellow Starland. Since the three of them left, I naturally wouldn't stay behind.
Ku Sheng chased after them, but he didn't expect to get seriously injured by Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor, who hid outside the Mysterious Yellow Starland. Ku Sheng wanted to escape after getting seriously injured, but the four of us trapped him in the starry sky. He held an escape talisman in his hand and wanted to trade with us. He said that if we didn't trade, he would immediately break through the boundary and escape. "
"Did he guide you to a high-level interface and even gave you a top-grade Breaking Boundary Talisman?" Ning Cheng asked.
Yi Jiufeng nodded, "Yes, he took out a top-grade Breaking Boundary Talisman and said that he could use this talisman to get close to the positional plane they are in. In fact, I still don't understand why he didn't use this talisman to escape but chose to trade with us. Was he afraid of that Ninth Prince? "
Ning Cheng didn't explain. He already knew why Ku Sheng wanted to trade with Yi Jiufeng and the others. Ku Sheng stayed with the Ninth Prince for the same purpose as Yu Yuechen, that Life Force Plate. Since Ku Sheng stayed here with a purpose, he naturally wouldn't escape. It was laughable that the Ninth Prince thought that he had subdued these people, but he didn't expect that they all fancied his things.
"So, if Chuan Xinlou and the others left, wouldn't you have no way to escape alone?" Ning Cheng thought that there was only one talisman, and since Yi Jiufeng didn't leave with Chuan Xinlou and the others, she wouldn't be able to reach the Grand Essence Realm even if she wanted to.
Yi Jiufeng smiled, "I obtained an Opening Heaven Child Talisman in the Ancient Shadow Temple. I didn't know what it was at first, but I know it now. My talisman is much better than Ku Sheng's talisman. I'm confident that I can find the way there. "
"Then I wish Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix a smooth journey." Ning Cheng understood that Yi Jiufeng had made up her mind to leave.
Yi Jiufeng spoke up, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I came here to tell you about this. But if you want to go together, you can come with me. That Ninth Prince has an unusual origin. Even if we escape, he won't give up in the future. "
Ning Cheng smiled, "I won't leave for the time being. But Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix doesn't have to worry about it. That Ninth Prince's corporeal body has already collapsed. It would take him many years to recover. I suspect that Ninth Prince has already left this positional plane. I don't know where he is hiding to heal. "
"What?" Yi Jiufeng truly felt shocked this time. She wanted to leave to pursue strength, but at the same time, she also felt a little worried about the Ninth Prince finding her. But Ning Cheng said that he had severely injured the Ninth Prince to the point that even his corporeal body had disappeared. It was simply too outrageous.
Yi Jiufeng naturally thought that Ning Cheng had injured the Ninth Prince severely. She didn't even know that Pan Qian existed.
"Is this true?" Yi Jiufeng repeated the question in disbelief.
Ning Cheng spoke with certainty, "It's true. If you don't believe me, you can go to Sacred Light City and have a look. I razed the entire Sacred Light City to the ground."
"Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning. This time, I can finally feel at ease leaving Spirit Heaven." Yi Jiufeng's face lit up with joy as she spoke about leaving this side of the universe.
Ning Cheng watched Yi Jiufeng leave and returned to Stately River Star's Covered Snow City with some disappointment. All the people he knew, whether they were enemies or friends, had left one by one.
Although Ning Cheng knew that if he stayed here, he could only reach Dao Confirming at most. But he couldn't leave yet. Even if he wanted to leave, he had to take Luofei and Ruolan with him. Moreover, he still had a few things to do. One was to go to the Ancient Shadow Temple, and the other was to go into seclusion to study array formations.
He had to become an Array Dao Master and then go to the place where Yan Ji teleported away.
… …
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, three years had passed since Ning Cheng returned to Stately River Star.
During these three years, apart from cultivation, Ning Cheng studied array formations and discussed the Dao of Alchemy with Cang Caihe. His cultivation also stabilized at the peak early-stage Eternal Realm, only a step away from the middle-stage Eternal Realm.
But because of the lack of top-grade Starry Sky Spirit Grasses, his attainment in the Dao of Alchemy remained stagnant, and he couldn't verify a bunch of theories. As for the Array Dao Master, Ning Cheng knew that he needed time to accumulate.
Ji Luofei occasionally came out to meet with Ning Cheng for a few days, but she spent most of her time in seclusion. Ning Ruolan's cultivation was too low, so she spent all her time on cultivation. As for Ning Ruoqing, she still remained in seclusion. Ning Ruoqing's seclusion required too much Starry Sky Essence Spirit Qi, so Ning Cheng placed ten star veins under her seclusion cave.
But what puzzled Ning Cheng was that Duan Gantai didn't come to find him. It stood to reason that Duan Gantai, who had suffered such a huge loss, should have gone crazy and come to settle accounts with him. Ning Cheng had stayed in Stately River Star for a few years, but he hadn't even seen Duan Gantai's shadow. It was as if this fellow had disappeared.
After three years of consolidation, Ning Cheng understood that his cultivation had already reached this point, and it would be difficult for him to take another step forward. He was different from others. Maybe other cultivators, as long as they accumulated enough time in seclusion, would eventually break through. But for Ning Cheng, he couldn't wait that long. He didn't have that much time to accumulate enough time for cultivation.
The fact that the Ninth Prince hadn't been killed left a hidden danger in his heart. If that fellow came to Culmination Heaven one day, no one here could stop him.
Seeing that Ning Ruoqing showed no signs of waking up from her seclusion, Ning Cheng said goodbye to Cang Caihe again and prepared to enter the Ancient Shadow Temple alone.
The Ancient Shadow Temple had Grey Toottoot in it, and it was also in Stately River Star. Ning Cheng wouldn't leave this place with peace of mind if he didn't figure it out.
… …
Ning Cheng's array formation restrictions had long since sealed the Ancient Shadow Temple. Even if it wasn't far from Covered Snow City, no one could enter it except for Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng entered the Ancient Shadow Temple once again. Just like before, it was still cold and gloomy. The black poisonous mist layered on top of each other, but the murderous aura here had weakened a lot compared to the last time. When Ning Cheng first came here, the poisonous mist didn't affect him at all. Now that his cultivation and body forging had improved by a few levels, the poisonous mist couldn't affect him at all.
Ning Cheng soon arrived outside the pentagonal hall. After he escaped from this place, he had sealed it up. But now that he came here again, he found that the seal still remained, as if it hadn't been touched.
