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

These people did not know him.

In their view, Ning Qi's initiative to volunteer upon arrival could be attributed to two reasons.

Firstly, for the sake of merit.

Secondly, it's for resources.

They've been stationed here for many years and rarely do things that would steal the limelight.

He dared to do so, which made several people look at him strangely.

Because they knew very well that standing out here would mean a quick death.

That is why, under these circumstances, no one stood up to refute it.

Instead, they all ended up just watching the show.

"Commander Lei, are you really going?"

They didn't know, but Zhao Tianlei knew Ning Qi's strength.

If he goes, the matter is almost certain to succeed.

"General Zhao, I am willing to go."

Ning Qi nodded, showing a respectful expression.

"Alright, send a few more people to go with them."

Zhao Tianlei readily agreed.

"No need. You can send a few people to gather information as usual. I want to act alone."

Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "Just give me a compass."

"Commander Lei, you're not kidding, are you? This place is the enemy's camp."

"If you're going, fine, but you're going alone. Don't let yourself be exposed."

Wang Mang was immediately displeased.

Even showing off shouldn't be done like this; you're risking your life.

Although he didn't mind Ning Qi going to his death, he couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks because of Ning Qi's arrogance.

"You can rest assured about that."

Ning Qi smiled and said nonchalantly, "Of course I'm confident."

"In that case, give him the compass."

“There are markings on this compass, so you can clearly see some of the enemy's formation.”

"I'm warning you, don't act rashly and expose your identity."

"Otherwise, our spies will suffer the same fate as you."

As Wang Mang spoke, he waved to the people behind him.

The man accepted the order and stepped forward to hand the compass in his hand to Ning Qi.

Thank you.

Ning Qi caught the compass and thanked him.

"Commander Lei, do you need me to send a few men?"

Zhao Tianlei was also somewhat worried.

After all, they were going to someone else's camp, and two fists can't fight four hands.

Moreover, having more people means having an extra pair of eyes, making things more reliable.

"No need, I can go and investigate by myself. I'll let you know if I find out anything!"

Ning Qi had made up his mind and refused again.

"Alright, make sure you keep the compass safe."

Zhao Tianlei had no choice but to agree.

After all, Ning Qi's strength is reliable.

"There's no time to lose. In that case, I'll head over now."

Ning Qi clasped his hands in a fist salute, ready to set off.

He didn't want to stay here any longer anyway.

Once you go and find out what's going on, just tell them.

As for whether he'll come back or not, that depends on his mood.

If he could take the opportunity to visit the Immortal Realm, he would go there directly.

The main purpose of coming here is for resources and opportunities.

As for which faction to join, he had no idea.

His camp is in the True Martial Spirit Realm.

It's still a long way from here.

"Shall we leave now?"

Zhao Tianlei was somewhat surprised.

He clearly hadn't expected Ning Qi to be in such a hurry.

They didn't even have time to eat at the banquet.

"Well, since they've already started taking action, it means they already had some prior knowledge."

"Going early might allow us to gather some information sooner."

Ning Qi nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Alright, in that case, let's set off."

Zhao Tianlei had no choice but to agree, and then got up to see him off.

"General Zhao, there's no need to see me off. I can set off on my own."

Ning Qi gave him a wink.

"well!"

"Then I wish you a triumphant return!"

Zhao Tianlei nodded, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Commander Lei, be careful."

Wang Mang also clasped his hands in a fist salute to him.

"it is good."

After Ning Qi responded, he got up and walked outside.

"I send you!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhirou quickly followed.

And so they set off together with Ning Qi, heading towards the outside of the lobby.

The two quickly arrived outside the palace.

"Are you going to find a flying boat to ride on?"

Zhao Zhirou asked.

"Yes, otherwise how would we get across?"

Ning Qi nodded.

"I have a flying boat here, it's very fast."

"Furthermore, there are defensive formations that you can use; they're safer than what's here."

As Zhao Zhirou spoke, she patted her storage bag.

"You should keep it; it's not safe here."

If anything were to happen, she would have a flying boat for self-defense.

"I still have some; I need to prepare several more airships once we get here."

Zhao Zhirou shook her head and insisted, "You can take it and use it."

"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Ning Qi nodded and then directly accepted her flying boat.

"Then be careful on your journey. If you encounter any problems, please let me know."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhao Zhirou reminded him again.

"Okay, you all need to be careful too."

Ning Qi nodded, then waved and left.

He went directly to the place where the flying boats were assembled.

There are guards standing watch here.

"Sir, where are you going?"

A guard saw him approaching and stepped forward respectfully.

"Go to the territory of the Immortal Clan to investigate some matters."

"Do we have any hidden spots here that we can sneak into?"

Ning Qi didn't hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

"Yes, sir."

The guard nodded, then took out a spirit stone, activated it, and a region appeared in front of the two of them.

Ning Qi frowned and looked around, discovering that this was the direction they had been heading in since they started from here.

"here it is."

Ning Qi looked around and couldn't help but ask.

"My lord, from here we can directly access our territory that overlaps with that of the Immortal Clan."

“Where can you see our people patrolling, all the way across this river?”

"You'll see their people patrolling."

"Once you cross the river, you will have entered the territory of the Immortals."

The guard continued, "This fragmented continent is vast and is a must-contest territory for us, but precisely because of this..."

"We can't take it from either of us, so we can only use this river as the boundary."

“We usually don’t risk going there unless there are signs of divine intervention.”

“Now that we have an understanding, they will not come over easily either.”

"Okay, I understand."

Ning Qi nodded, then asked, "Are there still our people around here?"

"Yes, but once you cross the river, there's no more. However, we have spies."

"Of course, they also have their spies."

The guard then went on to explain.

"Okay, then I'll go from here."

After understanding the situation, Ning Qi has made a decision.

"Sir, is this your guard?"

Are you going by yourself?

The guard, seeing Ning Qi summon his flying boat, couldn't help but ask, "Not bad."

Ning Qi smiled and said, "I want to investigate myself!"

"My lord, you must be careful, the immortals are very cunning."

Upon hearing this, the guard hurriedly offered a reminder.

"Okay, I'll be back safely!"

Ning Qi didn't care, he just agreed to do so later.

He boarded the flying boat that Zhao Zhirou had given him.

Subsequently, the array on it was directly activated.

After the formation was activated, the flying boat began to speed forward.

"Master, this flying boat is indeed very fast!"

The spirit of medicine had already flown out, and looking at everything here, it couldn't help but say something.

"Well, it's really fast."

Ning Qi stood on the deck, looking ahead.

Before him lay a shattered continent.

They vary in size, and some of them have palaces and gates on them.

However, from a distance, there was no longer any fluctuation.

It's obvious that the resources mentioned above have already been taken.

They continued forward, and the broken continents gradually increased in number and density.

Speeding around here feels like being in a complete inner world.

However, these rifts between different continents told him that he was not in the inner realm, but in the void of the boundary sea.

“Master, according to what I’m seeing on the spirit stone, their continent should be just ahead.”

Yao Ling looked ahead and analyzed the situation.

"Yes, we're almost there."

"The flying boat needs to be put away as well."

Ning Qi nodded, and then in a flash, he appeared in the void.

He was in the void of the boundary sea, and had no effect whatsoever.

Once one's strength reaches the Celestial Immortal level, one can already fly in the void of the Boundary Sea.

However, having a flying boat would save some effort.

If he continues to use the flying boat to speed around, he will easily expose himself.

A person can easily avoid being watched while speeding across this border sea.

As long as you spot someone, conceal your presence and stay far away to deceive them.

"Master, there seems to be someone ahead."

Yao Ling pointed ahead and then said.

"Don't worry, these are all teams trained by the demons."

Ning Qi didn't care and just kept moving forward.

He soon encountered these demons.

"stop!"

One of them told him to stop from a distance.

"call!"

Ning Qi suppressed his aura and stopped abruptly.

"What are you doing?"

After the guard came over, he looked him up and down.

His face was full of vigilance.

"They just arrived from headquarters, I need to go there!"

Ning Qi then took out his token.

It was aroused in front of this team of guards.

"Buzz!"

A blinding wave of light suddenly erupted.

It illuminated this place as bright as day.

"My lord, I was unaware of your arrival. Please forgive me."

Upon seeing this, the guard immediately became respectful.

This token, among them, is a symbol of status.

They cannot be allowed to disobey.

The people behind him also showed respect.

The tense atmosphere from just now had completely vanished.

"How far ahead is it to the river?"

Ning Qi didn't say anything, but asked directly.

"It's another hundred miles ahead."

"Sir, are you going by yourself? Aren't there any guards?"

Upon hearing this, the man naturally knew what he was about to do.

Those who can patrol here are people who have crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

How could we not know their purpose?

"good."

Ning Qi nodded and then said, "Don't tell anyone that I've been here."

"understand!"

The man nodded, then waved his hand: "Sir, we'll be going now."

"it is good!"

Ning Qi agreed and then continued on his way.

"Master, the people here all have a very strong aura of malevolence."

The spirit, who had been perched on his shoulder, glanced back and said.

"Yes, they are all people who have survived great battles. Even if they are not as strong as the enemy, they still have ways to give them a headache!"

Ning Qi glanced at it as well, then said, "Alright, let's continue."

They continued on their journey.

Soon they arrived in front of this fragmented continent.

"Master, this place is indeed very big!"

"Moreover, I have a feeling that there are still some resources on this continent."

The spirit of medicine observed the area and couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, there should be, but they could be abandoned by the people stationed here."

"It's probably not so easy to obtain!"

Ning Qi glanced around and said, "Let's go and see what's going on."

"Hopefully we haven't crossed the river."

Yao Ling smiled and said, "Let us have an adjustment period."

"You'll know when you go see it."

Ning Qi didn't say anything, but sped off towards the area where resources were fluctuating.

He thus set foot on the continent where the two sides had established a boundary.

The stones here are all black, and even the ground is black.

It wasn't caused by the battle; it was simply black to begin with.

Even some of the plants here are pitch black.

It gives people a very oppressive feeling.

"Master, are there any formations or restrictions here as well?"

Yao Ling shrank back and couldn't help but ask.

He could also feel the oppressive atmosphere here, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"There should be, but it's also possible that the entire continent is a single, undefined barrier."

Ning Qi nodded, his gaze hardening.

"Huh? Who has such big arms?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling's eyes widened: "You mean, this entire continent was created by him?"

“That’s right, I can sense that the entire continent is a single restrictive entity.”

"The reason why we can sense that there are resources here is because it is very likely that its main body is a place for storing resources."

Ning Qi analyzed again.

"Master, they fought several battles here, why didn't anyone notice?"

The spirit then asked.

"It's not that they didn't discover it, it's that they couldn't open it."

Ning Qi smiled and said, "If they could break the restrictions here, they would probably have sent people in already."

"Why deploy so many troops here?"

"And look, there are several ethnic groups in this area."

"Yes, this is a core area. There are people of both the demon race and the human race at opposite ends of this continent."

Yao Ling looked around and then said, "However, they don't occupy as much territory as the Demon Clan and the Immortal Clan."

"Just one thing is enough, if someone can open this place up in the future."

"Then they can also get a share!"

Ning Qi continued forward and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, there must be a problem here."

"Master, do you think the people who came this time have found a way to break through this place?"

Yao Ling suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know then, let's go and see how it goes!"

Ning Qi shook his head and continued forward: "We'll be there soon."

"Yes, there are already troops stationed ahead."

Yao Ling was the first to notice the situation ahead and pointed it out from a distance.

"This should be the last line of defense for the demons."

Ning Qi also looked over, and then slowed down.

He could already see two groups of people rushing towards him from the encampment. (End of Chapter)
