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

Chapter 692 Fire-Attribute Sword Spirit

"I wonder what dangers await us at the entrance to this next level."

Ji Wanru looked ahead, a look of worry flashing in her eyes.

We've already encountered such powerful insects here; what will it be like down there?

I don't even dare to think about it anymore.

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way, one step at a time."

"If there is any real danger, we will retreat!"

Ning Qi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "We can't just knowingly go ahead and risk our lives."

“You’re right. If there’s really danger, then we can only look for opportunities on this level.”

Ji Wanru also came to terms with it and responded in kind.

Ning Qi is an adaptable person.

Fight if you can, run if you can't.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Get some rest. We'll rest for a few hours before we set off!"

"This time, let's go straight to the end and see what's at the entrance down there!"

Ning Qi waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Thinking about it now is useless!"

"Yes, we should get some rest!"

Ji Wanru said in deep agreement.

After saying a few words, she bid farewell to Ning Qi and left.

I found a quiet place and sat cross-legged.

"Master, I sense that the real crisis is just beginning when things go down!"

At this moment, Yao Ling also spoke.

“That’s right, I have a feeling there should be more sword spirits down there.”

"Moreover, these sword spirits should be even stronger!"

Ning Qi nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly, and said, "However, this works too. I'll gather enough sword energy."

"I can keep it for myself. When I encounter the Sword King they mentioned, I'll see if I can subdue him!"

"When the time comes, we'll call Shi Xiaokun over to help too!"

"With our divine beasts, we can definitely do it!"

Yao Ling said confidently.

"It might not work, because I feel there will be even more competitors once I go down there!"

Ning Qi shook his head, revealing a solemn expression.

There aren't many opponents here, but that doesn't mean they won't appear when you go down.

"Maybe we'll even see her senior brother!"

Yao Ling started joking.

After all, we didn't see any of these people here, so some of them must have already gone down.

Relatively speaking, his progress is not fast.

"Never mind all that, let's rest first."

Ning Qi waved his hand, then found a bluestone slab and began to sit cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

They are safe here for the time being and have not encountered any further danger.

Time flies, and the group has been resting here for two hours.

Many people have regained consciousness and have begun patrolling the area.

"Why can't we see the sword spirit here?"

"Yes, it's strange."

"Isn't this good? We don't have to live in fear anymore!"

"That's right, with our current numbers, we're no match for them."

"Even with Young Master Ding's help, we still can't succeed."

"..."

The guards here have already started discussing it.

Everyone wore a solemn expression.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get ready to go!"

At this moment, Ji Wanru also woke up and said to everyone, "I feel that once we reach the next level, we should be able to communicate with my senior brothers telepathically!"

"Perhaps it's because we're outside and haven't gone in yet that we can't transmit sound!"

She had tried before, but she was never able to transmit her voice properly.

This puzzled her greatly; she wondered what was going on, but now it seemed that it might indeed be related to this.

"Indeed, perhaps we have met our allies!"

Ning Qi also came over and said, "So, everyone, cheer up."

"it is good!"

"set off!"

"..."

With their encouragement, everyone regained their spirits.

They all continued walking forward.

"let's go!"

Ji Wanru came over and spoke to Ning Qi.

"it is good!"

Ning Qi agreed, and activated the compass as he walked.

"call!"

The map on the compass reappeared the next moment.

Here, you can clearly see their current location.

If you keep going forward, that's the path down.

However, there is still a long way to go on this road.

"If we keep going straight from here, there shouldn't be any danger!"

Ji Wanru pointed to the road and said to Ning Qi, "Our city lord didn't warn us about any dangers here!"

"Yes, but even so, we can't let our guard down!"

Ning Qi nodded first, then his expression turned serious: "Perhaps there are dangers involved that even he himself hasn't realized!"

"Yes, you're right!"

"We'd better be careful!"

Ji Wanru nodded in deep agreement, and then followed Ning Qi to continue walking forward.

They continued on their way and soon came to an open area.

Here, they felt like they were in the mountains.

"What's going on? There are actually mountains here?"

"Yes, we've already come out, haven't we?"

"Impossible, there's not a breath of wind here."

"..."

The guards started discussing it again.

Each of them wore a wary expression.

"Young Master Ding, what's going on? This location isn't shown on our map!"

When Ji Wanru arrived, a look of worry also appeared on her pretty face.

Her eyes were taking in everything around her.

"I don't know, the compass doesn't show this area!"

Ning Qi shook his head and activated the compass once more.

"Buzz!"

Once the compass was activated, it revealed the situation in their area.

However, what the compass showed was clearly different from their location.

The compass still shows caves and passages.

But here, it's clearly not anymore.

It was an open area, and there were also mountains.

"Everyone be careful, don't get separated!"

Ning Qi looked around and said, "Something is definitely amiss. I feel like we've been under some kind of illusion."

"Or rather, is there some kind of teleportation array here?"

"That shouldn't be the case. If there were a teleportation array, shouldn't we have discovered it long ago?"

Ji Wanru immediately retorted, "Unless, we've fallen under an illusion spell here!"

"It could also be an illusion!"

"Yes, so how should we break this illusion?"

"..."

After hearing her words, the guards began to whisper among themselves.

"Not necessarily, I'll go up and check the situation first!"

Ning Qi shook his head and focused his attention on the highest mountain peak in front of him.

"I'll go with you!"

Ji Wanru was worried, so she followed Ning Qi and leaped into the air at the same time.

"call!"

After they flew into the void, they immediately felt the sound of wind blowing.

"It's windy!"

Ning Qi also noticed something was wrong and immediately looked around warily.

Where did the wind come from?

Ji Wanru did the same, her eyes observing the situation.

I want to find out why the wind is blowing.

"Over here!"

After observing for a while, Ning Qi finally saw something in the distance.

There is an altar at the junction of the two mountain peaks ahead.

"How come there's an altar?"

Ji Wanru frowned and asked, puzzled.

"You wait here, I'll go check the situation!"

Ning Qi shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"I'll go with you!" Ji Wanru was worried and insisted on going with him.

"No need, you can just wait here."

Ning Qi refused again: "If there's a problem, and we're both trapped, what will happen to these people?"

"Then... you need to be careful."

Seeing that he insisted, Ji Wanru could say nothing more.

So they turned back immediately.

After she returned, she looked at Ning Qi again.

His eyes were filled with worry.

"call!"

Meanwhile, Ning Qi had already arrived at the altar.

He looked down at the altar, a solemn expression on his face.

I didn't rush to see what was going on.

"Master, I have a feeling something's wrong. We should be careful!"

Yao Ling also looked at the altar below and couldn't help but remind her.

"Hmm, let's see what's going on!"

Ning Qi nodded, then waved his hand.

A surge of divine and demonic power rushed toward the altar below.

In the blink of an eye, it landed on the altar below.

"呲呲!"

Blazing light erupted from the altar.

It felt like being burned.

These blazing lights began to condense and then surged towards Ning Qi.

"call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and then activated the Li Yuan Bell.

"Buzz!"

After he activated the Li Yuan Bell, it suddenly transformed into a visible light wave.

They immediately protected Ning Qi within them.

The attack then struck the light wave, creating ripples.

However, even so, the Li Yuan Bell showed no signs of being destroyed.

They were always able to protect Ning Qi, keeping him completely unaffected.

"what is this?"

Yao Ling looked at the blazing light below with a solemn expression.

This blazing light is too strange; it can cause such a huge reaction just from the surging of immortal and demonic power.

If this were to be triggered, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?

"I don't know, but it must be very dangerous!"

Ning Qi shook his head; he hadn't figured out what was going on either.

They just focused their attention on that.

"What should we do then? Shall we go back?"

"Should we continue forward?"

The spirit of medicine lost its focus and couldn't help but ask.

"I'd like to see what's so strange about this altar!"

Ning Qi squinted and looked intently at the altar below.

Finally, he jumped.

"Watch out, Master!"

Yao Ling immediately showed a worried expression.

He quickly reminded her.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright!"

Ning Qi didn't care and continued downwards.

"call!"

The next moment, he had already landed on the altar.

"Buzz!"

After he landed, a wave of light erupted from the altar.

The crimson flames below began to surge.

Under his gaze, beams of light and shadow rapidly condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the light and shadow condensed, they condensed into a shape.

In the end, it actually turned into a sword spirit.

However, the sword spirits here are different from those outside.

Flames erupted from their entire bodies, surging continuously.

These flames condensed in their palms, eventually forming mysterious swords.

The sword energy around him surged, causing ripples to spread through the void.

"This……"

Yao Ling looked at everything before her with disbelief.

I never expected that these flames would actually form a sword spirit.

"A fire-attribute sword spirit!"

Ning Qi looked intently at the sword spirit before him and then said, "I didn't expect that sword spirits would also have attributes!"

"Looks like this is getting more and more interesting!"

"Master, be careful!"

Yao Ling snapped out of her daze and immediately warned, "They've started to make their move!"

"Hmph, not worth mentioning!"

Ning Qi snorted coldly, not taking them seriously at all.

He then waved his hand, directly activating the Chaos Flame.

At the same time, the Ruoshui Three Thousand Formation will also be activated.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in front of him.

The sword spirit's attack, upon reaching him, was instantly suppressed in both speed and power.

Ning Qi hasn't used this water droplet Daoist array for a long time.

He rarely used it after his strength broke through to the Golden Immortal level.

However, the current situation leaves him no room for restraint.

Therefore, the formation of Ruoshui Sanqian was directly activated.

Under this immense pressure, the sword spirit's attack was instantly weakened.

In that instant, a series of heart-stopping ripples erupted.

"My turn!"

Seeing that the sword spirit's attack was being controlled, Ning Qi immediately took out his Dragon Spear.

Then he suddenly thrust his sword towards the sword spirit in front of him.

"Shh!"

With a flick of his spear, he pierced through the sword spirit in front of him.

The sword spirits didn't even have time to react.

He was immediately killed by Ning Qi.

"Shh!"

Ning Qi waved his hand, collecting all their sword energy into his palm.

It was then sealed into his dantian.

"Resolved?"

Seeing how easily Ning Qi had dealt with these fire-attribute sword spirits, Yao Ling immediately showed a relieved expression.

I never imagined that my master would be so strong now.

It can easily kill the sword spirit.

Moreover, it's not an ordinary sword spirit.

"Hmm, let me see what secrets this altar holds!"

After Ning Qi agreed, he stepped forward again.

They were already standing on the side of the giant cauldron used for sacrificial offerings at the altar.

The giant cauldron was entirely crimson red, with inscriptions carved on it.

The inscription remained completely unaffected by the scorching flames.

"Can you understand it?"

Ning Qi looked at it for a while, but couldn't understand a single word.

So he asked.

"I don't understand it either, why don't you ask Shi Xiaokun?"

Yao Ling shook her head and made a suggestion.

"Shi Xiaokun! Take a look at these inscriptions, what do they mean?"

Ning Qi immediately contacted Shi Xiaokun within his sea of ​​consciousness.

"call!"

The next moment, Shi Xiaokun appeared in front of him.

He lowered his head and carefully examined the inscriptions on the giant cauldron.

"How about it?"

Seeing this, Yao Ling couldn't help but ask.

"It records some ancient texts!"

Shi Xiaokun looked around and then continued, "This is where they worship their gods, which is similar to the power of incense in our inner world."

"This so-called god is actually just a cultivator who controls the people here."

"Oh, so does that mean the sword spirit is also related to him?"

After listening to his explanation, Ning Qi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't know then. Don't worry, I'll take another look!"

Shi Xiaokun shook his head, then turned his attention back to the giant cauldron in front of him.

They began to seriously circle the giant cauldron, wanting to find out what was inside. (End of Chapter)
