Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 695 Powerful Insect Eggs

"it is good!"

After the spirit agreed, it came to his shoulder again.

Ning Qi then continued forward, and after traveling for about half an incense stick's time...

Finally, we encountered another nest.

There are even more silkworm pupae in this nest.

Some of them have two or three sword spirits on them, and these are even larger.

"Master, there are red ones too!"

"There are even yellow ones over there!"

The medicine spirit pointed at the sword spirits here and said, "These colored ones all have attributes, right?"

"Yes, you're right!"

Ning Qi nodded, then stepped forward: "You continue to guard the front, I'll continue to extract these sword energies!"

"it is good!"

After Yao Ling agreed, she left immediately.

After he left, Ning Qi continued to draw out sword energy here.

Next, without exception, all the sword energy here was extracted by Ning Qi.

"call!"

After all that, he was exhausted.

After all, withdrawing the sword energy also requires him to expend his immortal and demonic power.

"Master, we should retreat. I sense something is moving!"

After Yao Ling returned, she whispered to Ning Qi.

"Yes, I felt it too."

"Leave a memory stone here, and see what happens after activating it!"

Ning Qi nodded, then took out a spirit stone and placed it in an inconspicuous spot.

Then it will be stimulated.

At the same time, they also set up formations to hide themselves.

After finishing everything, Ning Qi returned the way he came.

Just as they were about to leave, they received a telepathic message from Ji Wanru.

He did not agree, but continued walking out.

After a short while, Ning Qi successfully emerged from inside and returned to the passage.

Then they saw Ji Wanru and several guards, eagerly waiting.

"Young Master Ding, how is it?"

When she saw Ning Qi return, she immediately went up to ask what had happened.

His eyes were filled with worry.

"I've found a way out."

"However, it's too late now, the ferocious beasts here have returned!"

Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "However, they go out regularly, so we just need to slip through when they go out!"

"They're back, aren't we in trouble?"

"Yes, let's go back first!"

"It's definitely not safe here later!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, the others spoke in turn.

Fear filled every pair of eyes.

"Don't worry, they won't come here!"

Ning Qi waved his hand and said to the crowd, "These ferocious beasts probably have no interest in us!"

"They're hunting sword spirits!"

"What, they're hunting sword spirits?"

Ji Wanru glared at her.

I never imagined that the ferocious beasts here would specifically hunt sword spirits.

"That's right, they're using sword spirits to hatch their insect eggs!"

"I found several nests, and they were all like this!"

Ning Qi nodded, then said to the others, "This is also why we can't see the sword spirit here!"

"So...they were all captured by these ferocious beasts?"

Ji Wanru waited for him to finish speaking before she couldn't help but ask.

A solemn look appeared in those eyes.

To be able to hunt down a sword spirit requires immense strength.

These people are no match for us.

"That's right!"

Ning Qi nodded with certainty, and then continued, "That's precisely why they won't come here to deal with us."

"Because they've hunted down all the sword spirits in this direction!"

"They're heading straight ahead!"

"In other words, they're probably going to go down to the next level to hunt down the sword spirits!"

"So, if we go over like this, wouldn't we also have a chance of running into them?"

"Yes, this place is dangerous at every turn!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the guards began to whisper among themselves again.

They all wore solemn expressions.

"Don't worry, we just need to get there at the exact time they leave!"

"In this way, we will not only avoid their attacks along the way, but they will also guide us!"

"Now we can go to the next floor smoothly!"

Ning Qi gestured for them to stop, explaining his plan: "After we go down, there will be more sword spirits and more people."

"As long as we don't provoke these ferocious beasts, they won't keep targeting us!"

"You're right, then let's wait!"

"Once they leave, we'll prepare to make our move!"

Ji Wanru waited for him to finish speaking before speaking herself.

"But how do we know these ferocious beasts have left?"

"Yes, if we get too close, they'll spot us!"

"..."

The group started discussing it again.

"Don't worry, I've already placed memory stones in their lair!"

"I used an array to conceal his tracks; he won't be discovered!"

Ning Qi smiled and then said, "Let's see what this ferocious beast looks like now."

"That's wonderful! It has to be Young Master Ding; he's so thoughtful!"

"Let's begin!"

"..."

Hearing him say this, the group immediately became interested.

"call!"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and then took out several spirit stones worth hundreds of millions.

Then, he used his divine power to activate it.

"call!"

The next moment, the hundreds of millions of spirit stones were activated.

Ripples spread through the void.

Immediately afterwards, a thick fog appeared.

Then, fog rolled in.

A picture was formed in the void.

This scene shows the nest where Ning Qi placed the memory stones.

From here, one can clearly see the situation inside the nest through a few spirit stones.

Inside, there are dozens of ferocious beasts that look like ants.

The difference is that they have scales on their bodies.

It still gleamed with a cold light.

Moreover, unlike ants, they are as big as a cow.

Besides having scales, it also had long, black hairs, each one standing upright.

Especially that vessel, which gleamed with a cold light.

These ants sat down next to the silkworm pupa.

"These silkworm pupae are hatching!"

Ji Wanru looked at the scene before her and couldn't help but say something.

At this moment, these ants are hatching silkworm pupae.

Thanks to their efforts, the silkworm pupae began to hatch.

What appeared inside were white ants.

After they appeared, they began to devour the corpses of the sword spirits nearby.

At the same time, the body also began to change.

It gradually turned from white to black.

Its physique also grew.

These larvae quickly grew up, and then the older ants led them away from the nest.

The next moment, the ants that had been sitting to the side came back onto the silkworm pupa.

They started laying eggs again. After a short while, each of them laid eggs in the same spot.

After laying their eggs, they did not incubate them.

Instead, they placed the sword spirits they had hunted directly onto the top of the silkworm cocoon.

There's another mouthpiece here, after they place the sword spirit on it.

These mouthparts quickly clamped shut on the sword spirits.

The next moment, the sword spirit was firmly stuck to the top of the silkworm cocoon.

After doing all this, the ants beside him finally lay down and prostrated themselves.

Clearly, this is guarding the silkworm pupae here.

"So that's how they absorb these sword spirits!"

Looking at the situation before him, Ning Qi finally understood what was going on.

"Yes, they should stay here for a while, and then leave when the time is right!"

Ji Wanru nodded and said seriously.

"Not bad!"

"It seems that the time is just right for us to set off when they go out hunting!"

Ning Qi nodded and said in a deep voice, "In that case, we'll arrange for someone to guard the area!"

"One person needs to keep an eye on it. As soon as you see the ant leave, notify us immediately!"

"Everyone, you can set off then!"

"Alright, you guys can make your own arrangements!"

"We must keep a close eye on them!"

Ji Wanru followed his instructions and then gave orders to her guards.

"it is good!"

"Senior sister, leave it to us!"

"..."

After hearing her words, the group readily agreed.

A solemn expression appeared on everyone's face.

They quickly got to work.

Some continued to patrol the surrounding area, while others were responsible for keeping a close eye on the images on the memory stone.

The rest of the time, they sat cross-legged and regulated their breathing.

Ning Qi greeted Ji Wanru and then found a quiet place to rest.

After a day of running around, he was exhausted.

While he was resting, Ji Wanru was also resting.

I would check on the incubation process from time to time.

Several hours passed quickly, and the ants guarding the eggs showed no sign of leaving.

Ning Qi surveyed the situation, then sat cross-legged and focused his spiritual sense inward.

They arrived directly in their own inner world.

Here, he began to refine the sword energy in his dantian.

After refining these sword energies several times before, he was already quite adept at it.

These sword energies are also easy to refine.

Under his control, it began to travel along his eight extraordinary meridians.

It kept washing over his meridians.

The sword energy he had already refined began to continuously strengthen Ning Qi's physique.

At this moment, he was like a sword.

He exuded a fierce aura.

This time, Ji Wanru was unable to detect it.

Ning Qi had just found a secluded spot and entered the inner realm.

"Master, why don't you come and inspect the array here for refining?"

Shi Xiaokun also noticed what he was doing, so he came over and asked.

"That's true!"

Ning Qi agreed and then went directly to the time difference formation he had set up.

Then, he sat cross-legged once again.

He continued to patiently refine the sword energy within his body.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he had refined all of these sword energies.

"call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath, feeling the changes within his body.

"Master, are you about to break through?"

The medicine spirit sensed the changes in Ning Qi's physique and couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, no way."

"The next level is Taiyi Golden Immortal, which is extremely difficult to break through!"

Ning Qi shook his head upon hearing his words.

He has been at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal for some time now.

Later, he didn't encounter any opportunities and was unable to make further breakthroughs.

However, this sword energy might actually be a breakthrough point.

This will give him the opportunity to continue making breakthroughs.

"It's almost there, but there's still one step left!"

Shi Xiaokun came over and said, "I think if we could refine the sword energy of this Sword King as well!"

"You should have a chance to break through!"

"In that case, let's give it a try!"

Ning Qi nodded, then sensed the changes in his strength: "Right now, I should be... at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"no!"

Shi Xiaokun shook his head and said seriously, "Master, I feel that you have already reached the strength of a half-step Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"Oh? Then I'll have to work even harder!"

"If I can break through, perhaps I will be able to contend with the domain lords of the Immortal Clan!"

Ning Qi couldn't help but smile upon hearing his words.

"Master, it should be possible!"

Shi Xiaokun said seriously, "But there's no chance now. The sword energy in your body will be refined in the future!"

"Okay, let's go out now!"

After Ning Qi agreed, he followed him in a flash.

His figure left directly and entered the inner world.

When it reappeared, it had already returned to the place where it was meditating and recuperating.

He focused his attention ahead, where Ji Wanru and her subordinates were observing something.

So he walked straight over there.

"how is the situation?"

Ning Qi asked in a deep voice.

"Young Master Ding, it seems they are about to depart!"

Upon hearing his words, Ji Wanru turned her head and said seriously, "We've been waiting here for three or four days!"

"Oh, is it time to take action?"

Ning Qi became interested immediately after hearing what she said.

Therefore, they also focused their attention on the scene displayed by the memory stone.

Under his observation.

Upon discovering these ants, some had already begun to move.

Others are insect eggs that are still guarding this place.

"rustle!"

The next moment, they could hear the ants moving.

"They've finally started taking action!"

Ji Wanru clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I was just saying that it would take more than twenty days, like a hen incubating eggs!"

"That shouldn't be necessary, the temperature in here is very high!"

Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "I think they're about to take action!"

"Good, look, they've already started going out!"

Ji Wanru nodded and pointed here.

"Let's wait until they leave, then we'll wait another half an hour before we act!"

"In case there are still sentries in their lair!"

Ning Qi looked intently at the image on the memory stone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please take a moment to meditate."

"We're about to move out!"

"it is good!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, the group agreed and then sat down cross-legged around him.

Firstly, he was waiting for the ants to leave, and secondly, he began to regulate his breathing.

Each of them wore a solemn expression.

After all, they didn't even know the dangers they were about to face.

Ning Qi also sat down and focused his attention on the picture.

"Young Master Ding, I feel... your aura has become stronger again."

Ji Wanru sat down next to him, her eyes filled with seriousness.

"Oh, you saw it right!"

Ning Qi didn't hide anything, but instead said it with a smile. (End of Chapter)
