"But ….." Xincai's tone was a little hesitant. She felt that Ji He wasn't a fake. She and Ji He knew each other very well, and it wasn't the first time she had spoken to Ji He. Even after so many years, she could still vaguely remember the aura of Ji He's cultivation method. It hadn't changed at all.
Not long after the top 25 were decided, Ning Cheng's qualification card lit up again. The row of small words on the qualification card almost made Ning Cheng laugh in surprise. When luck came, it simply couldn't be stopped.
The qualification card clearly stated, "Ji He, No. 95. This round is a bye. Directly entering the top 13."
Ji He had a bye this round and directly entered the top 13. It had already been displayed on the array formation display in the Heaven Essence Sacred City's public square. Even some cultivators who didn't know Ji He couldn't help but marvel at Ji He's luck. He didn't meet any powerful opponents in the first and second rounds, and he even had a bye in the third round.
Seeing Ji He enter the top 13 with a bye, the green-robed female cultivator standing next to Cen Caixuan finally voiced out her doubts. "Caixuan, Ji He's cultivation method aura hasn't changed. Are you overthinking it? After all, it's not impossible to find some opportunities in the Grand Essence Mystic Realm. Although Ji He's strength has grown a lot stronger than before, he barely wins every time. He's far inferior to ordinary Eternal powerhouses. "
Although Ji He entered the top 13, she still felt a little eager for Ji He to return to the Cen Clan again.
Cen Caixuan opened her mouth but couldn't think of a retort. In fact, she also felt that Ji He's aura hadn't changed much. The reason why she was so sure that Ji He was a fake was because Ji He's personality had changed and his strength had soared. Moreover, Ji He no longer looked at her with the same infatuation as before.
Ji He wasn't good with words and looked very dull. However, he was extremely infatuated with her. Sometimes, she could feel Ji He's excitement with just a slight smile or even a slight nod of her head. But Ji He, who returned from the mystic realm, never gave her such a feeling again.
Even when Guo Haoge held her hand, Ji He's eyes didn't show any fluctuations. Was it really as Xincai said? Did Ji He's personality change?
"Caixuan, people always change. Guo Haoge is too despicable. He clearly didn't have such intentions, but he just had to do it for Ji He to see … "Xincai suddenly felt angry with Guo Haoge. If it wasn't for Guo Haoge, Ji He would still be a member of the Cen Family.
Cen Caixuan shook her head. "Xincai, don't talk about Guo Haoge. He's not what you think."
Xincai knew that Cen Caixuan was infatuated with Guo Haoge. Even if she knew that Guo Haoge was not interested in Cen Caixuan, she could only shut her mouth.
…
The battle for the top 13 had turned into a head-on battle, Ning Cheng who was standing on the side watching the fights on the battle platform knew that if he had not drawn a blank lot, then perhaps he would have had to come up with a part of his strength in order to rush into the top 13.
One of the Heaven Essence's 12 Sacred Children, Kekelou Xi, met Yin Ying. Although they were both Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children, Yin Ying's strength was more than double that of Kekelou Xi's.
Yin Ying's weapon somewhat resembled Ning Cheng's Seven Bridges Realm Book, which was also a book. Because his Spiritual Consciousness could not penetrate into the battle platform, Ning Cheng only knew that Yin Ying had only opened three pages of the book when the golden light radiating from the book enveloped Kekelou.
Kekelou Xi also understood that he wasn't Yin Ying's opponent. So, after the golden light enveloped him, he immediately admitted defeat.
Yin Ying's easy victory over Kekelou Xi didn't cause much discussion. Everyone felt that it was normal.
What Ning Cheng wanted to see the most was the fight between Yin Ying, Lu Yixian, and Aiden. Yin Ying quickly defeated Kekelou Xi, but Ning Cheng only saw her weapon and didn't see any further moves, which made Ning Cheng feel a little disappointed.
Aiden's next opponent was a disciple from the Flaming Feather Spirit Mountain, one of the top ten sects. Ning Cheng knew Peng Shan and Peng Ruimei from the Flaming Feather Spirit Mountain, but neither of them had come.
Aiden's black smoke weapon piqued Ning Cheng's interest. Since Aiden came to the stage, Ning Cheng's eyes had been glued to Aiden's every move.
Just when Ning Cheng thought about what Aiden's black smoke was made of, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. It felt as if danger would fall on his head at any time. Ning Cheng subconsciously looked around and found that everyone was paying attention to the fight on the stage. Except for Cen Caixuan's spiritual consciousness, who stood on the opposite side, from time to time, Ning Cheng didn't find any danger.
Ning Cheng no longer had the mind to focus on the battle on the stage. Origin Aura was very sensitive to danger, and he didn't feel that his intuition of danger was groundless.
Ning Cheng looked at the several experts on the main stage and hesitated for a moment before walking over.
A fight in the Eternal Realm, even the highest-level Eternal Realm fight in the Grand Essence Realm, couldn't attract Dao Confirming powerhouses. As soon as Ning Cheng came over, several experts on the main stage immediately noticed him.
Ning Cheng always felt that the red-faced, ordinary-looking old man who stood up and spoke first was easier to talk to. Moreover, Ning Cheng always thought that this old man was stronger than Man Huishan. At this moment, the old man's position was also on the edge of the main stage. Therefore, Ning Cheng walked up to the old man and bowed to the old man.
The old man smiled and nodded to Ning Cheng, "Ji He, you're lucky to get a chance to go to the Extraterritorial Spirit Spring to transform your spirit essence. Remember not to waste this opportunity. The Extraterritorial Spirit Spring isn't a place for ordinary people. "
The old man with a ruddy face and his ordinary appearance did not ignore Ning Cheng just because of the disparity in status between him and Ning Cheng, as such he did not ignore Ning Cheng.
Hearing the old man's words, Ning Cheng felt a little puzzled. He had only entered the top 13. Didn't the Extraterritorial Spirit Spring require him to enter the top 10?
However, he knew that he didn't come here to ask about this matter, but because of the uneasiness in his heart.
Now that the old man took the initiative to speak to him, Ning Cheng quickly bowed again, "Many thanks for senior's encouragement. This junior is just a little worried."
"Oh, what are you worried about?" The old man continued to ask with a smile.
Ning Cheng wanted to hear these words. Now that the old man asked this question, he quickly replied, "Someone just sent me a voice transmission saying that I would die in a while. But I'm participating in the Grand Essence Great Meet. I don't know if I should escape immediately."
Ning Cheng didn't care whether his intuition was true or not. He had to find shelter first. He would rather believe in this kind of dangerous intuition. If the few powerhouses on the main stage couldn't help him, he would give up on the Extraterritorial Spirit Spring no matter how good it was.
"Humph, who dares to make trouble in the Grand Essence Great Meet?" This time, it wasn't the ordinary-looking old man, but a middle-aged female cultivator sitting not far from the old man.
Although it was just a cold snort, Ning Cheng still felt uneasy. He quickly stabilized his mind and spoke, "Replying to senior, someone indeed sent me a sound transmission a moment ago, telling me to wait, and that they would come to take my life in a moment."
No one sent a voice transmission to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng just wanted to find an excuse. If no one came to threaten him, he could say that he had informed the powerhouses hosting the competition in advance. That person didn't dare to show up. If someone showed up, it would allow his strategy to succeed.
Ning Cheng believed that with so many people here, the sect alliance's powerhouses would also want to save face. During the Grand Essence Great Meet, this person dared to threaten him with a voice transmission, and then dared to come to the Grand Essence Great Meet's public square to attack him. It was tantamount to slapping the sect alliance's face. Most likely, even the sect masters of the top ten sects wouldn't dare to come here and slap their faces in such a way.
Because Ning Cheng's voice wasn't low, many cultivators around heard Ning Cheng's words, and many people immediately turned their attention towards him.
In any case, Ning Cheng was one of the top thirteen in the Grand Essence Great Meet. Therefore, it was normal for people to pay attention to him. Some cultivators heard Ning Cheng say that someone sent him a voice transmission saying that they would come to kill him. They felt speechless and even started whispering to each other.
Could this kind of voice transmission be trusted? Killing a disciple who entered the top thirteen in the Grand Essence Great Meet's public square, even if that disciple was a rogue cultivator, it was impossible. If such a thing happened, then the Grand Essence Great Meet would become a joke. Even if someone wanted to kill you, they wouldn't send a voice transmission to you first.
The ruddy-faced old man looked at Ning Cheng with a meaningful look and showed a warm smile, "You can rest assured. At least before you come out of the Extraterritorial Spirit Spring, no one will do anything to you."
"Ji He would like to thank several seniors. Choosing to participate in the Grand Essence Great Meet is the best thing Ji He has done in his life." Ning Cheng quickly bowed and thanked them on hearing these words. He had already achieved his goal. Whether his hunch was right or not, he should stop here.
He had a hunch that this old man saw through his lies. Most likely, no one sent him a voice transmission. Fortunately, this old man didn't care about it, which made Ning Cheng feel very grateful.
… …
Star Stepping Tower's ground floor lobby, Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong were checking out. Wu Qihong's Sea of Consciousness recovered quickly. Plus, Ning Cheng said that he wouldn't come to the Star Stepping Tower again. Therefore, Xin Xiu felt that they didn't need to stay in such an expensive place. It was better to check out and leave the Heaven Essence Sacred City as soon as possible.
If they checked out early, they could only get half of the spirit crystals back. Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong didn't care about it. After all, Ning Cheng was the one who paid for the spirit crystals. It was already good enough for them to get a refund.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Xiu, do you know where Eldest Senior Apprentice Brother went?" Wu Qihong looked at Xin Xiu returning the rent and asked with some doubts.
Xin Xiu sighed and was about to speak when she heard a gasp. Then, a figure suddenly solidified in front of her and Wu Qihong. It was a black-robed woman with a veil over her face and a slender figure.
Xin Xiu recognised this woman and quickly bowed, "Junior Xin Xiu greets Senior Nie. Many thanks for senior's help last time."
Wu Qihong had already heard from Xin Xiu that the Star Stepping Tower's master was a woman surnamed Nie. Moreover, she was very powerful. Now that Xin Xiu bowed, he quickly returned the gesture.
The black-robed woman nodded and her gaze fell on Wu Qihong. After a while, she asked in doubt, "Your Sea of Consciousness shattered. Are you in the process of repairing it?"
