Ning Cheng punched out, causing the surrounding space to erupt with slight explosions.
"Boom … …" His fist blasted on the testing magic treasure. The testing magic treasure shone brightly, and the two markings on the crystal rapidly rose. The Celestial Essence Scale rose past 6 in just a short time, and only stopped when it approached the 7 mark. Even the Spiritual Consciousness Scale climbed to the 6 mark.
A burst of exclamations erupted from the surroundings. Although Ning Cheng's Celestial Essence Punch did not exceed 7, it was infinitely close to it. More importantly, Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness had already exceeded six scales. With such strength, he would have no problem entering the Seven Star Sacred Shrine.
Some cultivators who knew Ning Cheng came forward to congratulate him. Previously, they had only come to Ning City to craft artefacts, but they did not expect the strength of this Artefact-crafting Master to be so formidable.
Yan Xishuang looked at Ning Cheng in surprise. Ning Cheng didn't seem to have a high cultivation, yet he could erupt with such a powerful force. Using this kind of magic treasure to test a cultivator's cultivation was naturally not very accurate. However, there was one thing. Once the scale of this magic treasure exceeded five, it would be very difficult to increase it. Since Ning Cheng could punch out a Celestial Essence with a power scale of almost seven, it meant that there was no problem with his strength.
She quickly nodded to Ning Cheng, "What is your name? You've passed the test. After the disciple recruitment ends, come back with us to the Seven Star Sacred Shrine. "
"Thank you, Senior Sister. My name is Nian Qiong and I'm a wandering craftsman." Ning Cheng quickly cupped his fists and thanked them before standing behind the Seven Star Sacred Shrine with the other two. Ning Cheng considered that the Dragon Emperor of Barbarian Dragon Clan was looking for him, so he simply removed the word 'Cheng' from his name.
"Junior Sister Xishuang, long time no see." A deep man's voice sounded, and a purple-faced man with a big smile appeared in front of Yan Xishuang.
Ning Cheng felt a powerful water qi fluctuation coming from this man. He had also felt this kind of water qi fluctuation from Man Jiuren. Unlike Man Jiuren, this person had a purple face and no ripples on his face.
Yan Xishuang calmly replied with a polite greeting, "It turns out to be the Second Prince. Looks like the Barbarian Dragon Clan attaches great importance to this disciple selection."
Hearing about the Second Prince and the Barbarian Dragon Clan, Ning Cheng completely understood. This person was Man Jiuren's second brother and also the son of Dragon Emperor Man Huishan. Ning Cheng had heard from the silver-haired woman that Man Huishan had more than a hundred sons. From the looks of it, it was true.
The purple-faced man, on hearing Yan Xishuang's reply, showed a soft expression, "Yes, I knew that Junior Apprentice Sister Xishuang might come here, so I took the initiative to apply."
Ning Cheng looked at the purple-faced man and understood that this fellow wanted to pursue Yan Xishuang. If Yan Xishuang agreed to it, then it would truly be a case of flowers and cow dung.
Yan Xishuang spoke up in a flat tone, "Second Prince, if there's nothing else, please let me through. I still have someone to test."
"I'm fine, I'm fine …." The purple-faced man quickly stepped aside. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I wonder if Junior Apprentice Sister Xishuang has the time to go to a rest stop with me for a cup of spiritual tea?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't have time." Yan Xishuang didn't even bother to look for an answer.
"Second Brother, we're all very busy, but you're very free, hehe …" A slightly sarcastic voice sounded.
Ning Cheng retracted his Spiritual Consciousness and gaze. He was too familiar with this person. It was Ninth Prince Man Jiuren, whom he had killed once and whose corporeal body Pan Qian had smashed apart.
The purple-faced man smiled at Yan Xishuang, but he wasn't as polite to this Ninth Prince. He gave a cold snort, "Ninth Brother, you have the nerve to say that. If not for you being so useless, would my royal father have come to this broken place ….."
The purple-faced man stopped himself in time. It's just that Man Jiuren ridiculed him in front of his sweetheart, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Man Jiuren was just about to speak again when he suddenly saw Ning Cheng behind Yan Xishuang. His gaze immediately fell on Ning Cheng, and after carefully looking at Ning Cheng for a while, he frowned and asked, "What's your name?"
Yan Xishuang's tone turned cold, "This is my Seven Star Sacred Shrine's newly recruited disciple, Nian Qiong. If the two princes have nothing else to say, please don't interfere with my sect's recruitment."
The Barbarian Dragon Clan indeed had a Dao Perfection powerhouse, but the Seven Star Sacred Shrine didn't fear it. Although the Seven Star Sacred Shrine didn't have any Dao Perfection powerhouses, it had two Dao Fusion powerhouses. Moreover, apart from Man Suotian, the Barbarian Dragon Clan didn't have any other powerhouses. Even Dragon Emperor Man Huishan was only at the full-circle Dao Essence Realm. One could say that without Man Suotian, the Barbarian Dragon Clan wouldn't have qualified to enter the top ten sects, let alone become the leader of the four seas sects.
When the purple-faced Second Prince heard Yan Xishuang's words, he quickly pulled Man Jiuren away, "Ninth Brother, don't stay here. Come with me."
This time, Man Jiuren didn't speak any nonsense and silently followed the Second Prince. He still couldn't help but think about Ning Cheng. He had never seen this person before. So why did he feel an uncontrollable killing intent in his heart when he saw this Nian Qiong?
The instincts of the Grand Essence Sea's Barbarian Dragon Clan were extremely powerful. Even if Ning Cheng changed his appearance and converged his aura, he still couldn't completely hide himself from Man Jiuren's instinctive killing intent.
Man Jiuren suddenly stopped. Who was the person he wanted to kill the most? It was the cultivator named Ning Cheng. At this moment, he felt 90% sure that Nian Qiong was Ning Cheng.
After guessing that Nian Qiong was Ning Cheng, Man Jiuren's first thought was to tell this news to his father, Man Huishan. But as soon as this idea popped up, he quickly extinguished it.
If he told this news to his father, this Ning Cheng would definitely die. At the same time, he would also be able to avenge his father's death. However, the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow wouldn't fall into his hands. His father didn't come to the Grand Essence Ruins to avenge him, but for the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow. Man Jiuren understood this point better than anyone else.
If he couldn't get the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow, then forget it. But now that he had a chance, he couldn't let it go. He wanted this arrow no matter what. Ning Cheng joined the Seven Star Sacred Shrine because he wanted to go to the Grand Essence Mystic Realm. At that time, as long as he found a few people to secretly kill Ning Cheng in the Grand Essence Mystic Realm, who would know that he snatched the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow?
Ning Cheng's Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow was indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful it was, he could only shoot it once. As long as he grasped this point, he wouldn't have to worry about killing Ning Cheng.
The more Man Jiuren thought about this plan, the more feasible it seemed.
… …
From Man Jiuren's gaze and expression before he left, Ning Cheng realised that Man Jiuren might have recognised him. At this moment, Ning Cheng couldn't wait to leave immediately. But when he saw Man Jiuren not making any moves, not even his spiritual consciousness falling on him, Ning Cheng started to doubt it again.
But this doubt didn't last long. Ning Cheng believed that Man Jiuren had recognised him, and there was no need for luck at all. The reason why Man Jiuren didn't make any moves wasn't because he didn't recognise him, but because he didn't want to tell his father about him. The only possibility was that Man Jiuren wanted to take everything from him.
Man Jiuren had gone to the Mysterious Yellow Starland alone to do those things. This person had great ambitions.
But after knowing that Man Jiuren wanted to take the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow for himself, Ning Cheng wasn't in a hurry. If he didn't know that Man Jiuren recognised him, he might have suffered a huge loss. Now that Man Jiuren recognised him, he didn't believe that he couldn't kill this fellow.
Three days passed, and no one came looking for him. Ning Cheng realised that his guess was right. Man Jiuren really wanted to take everything from him.
Three days later, the major sects on the Grand Essence Ruins' public square finally finished recruiting rogue cultivators. The Seven Star Sacred Shrine had recruited a total of 20 people, and Ning Cheng was just one of them. Among the 20 people, Ning Cheng's strength only ranked in the middle, which wasn't too outstanding.
The Seven Star Sacred Shrine only had one elder leading the team. Ning Cheng couldn't see through this elder's strength, but he was sure that this elder wasn't as strong as Barbarian Dragon Clan's Patriarch, Man Huishan. As for Yan Xishuang, she most likely came to help.
… …
The Grand Essence Ruins might be far from the entrance to the Grand Essence Domain, but no matter how far it was, it wouldn't take long to teleport there.
This was Ning Cheng's first time entering the Grand Essence Domain. But after entering the Grand Essence Domain, he understood why the sects of the Grand Essence Realm gathered here. The spirit qi in the Grand Essence Domain was more than a dozen times stronger than the outside world. Moreover, this was just an ordinary place. Some sects would choose places with denser spirit qi.
Comparing this place to the Grand Essence Ruins and Boundary Essence Spirit Sea City made Ning Cheng understand the truth that the strong grew stronger.
Half a day later, Ning Cheng and the others arrived at the entrance of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine.
The Seven Star Sacred Shrine had a majestic atmosphere, and the spirit qi here was several times denser than the outside world. Standing here, Ning Cheng even had an illusion that the laws within the Seven Star Sacred Shrine's space were more stable than in other places.
If the Seven Star Sacred Shrine was like this, then it must be the same for other sacred or spirit gates.
After entering the sect, Ning Cheng and the others were each assigned a room and a jade card. After that, no one came to ask about it.
Returning to the room assigned to him, Ning Cheng used his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep the jade card, and immediately caught some of the information inside it.
The Grand Essence Mystic Realm would open in five months. During these five months, they could move around in the outer sect of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine. They could also go out, but they had to come back before the Grand Essence Mystic Realm opened. There was one more thing that they had to abide by. That is, they weren't allowed to enter the inner sect. Otherwise, they would die without mercy.
Ning Cheng put away the jade card and shook his head. The Seven Star Sacred Shrine didn't even treat them as an outer sect. At best, it treated them as a batch of cannon fodder. As cannon fodder, one must have the consciousness of being cannon fodder and not run around.
Even without this jade card's warning, Ning Cheng didn't plan to go out. He planned to refine a fake Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow in the next few months. Man Jiuren couldn't possibly not know how powerful his Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow was. On the premise that he knew how powerful his Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow was, Man Jiuren still dared to keep it for himself. It meant that he had confidence in himself. In any case, he had to take some precautions.
Ning Cheng was just about to activate the restrictions around his room when someone appeared outside his room.
