If Ning Cheng has not reached the he Dao stage, then it means he has stepped into the third step. But how could this be possible? If the third step were so easy to cross, it wouldn't be so difficult that one wouldn't appear even in ten thousand years.
Once before, he had misjudged Ning Cheng's cultivation, and perhaps today he has misjudged Ning Cheng's cultivation for the second time. Mang Yong's expression was uncertain. What if Ning Cheng is not he Dao but in the World Creation Realm? How would he face Ning Cheng later? Should he continue to change his stance and call Ning Cheng senior? If he had known earlier that Ning Cheng had stepped into the third step, he definitely wouldn't have called him Brother Ning, he would have still called him senior. No, if he had known earlier that Ning Cheng had stepped into the third step, he wouldn't have stayed here at all to cooperate with Ning Cheng.
