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

"grown ups."

The leading commander came over and greeted him respectfully.

Clearly, someone had already told him that someone was coming.

"What's the situation on the other side of the river?"

Ning Qi asked directly.

He knew perfectly well that someone must have already notified them of his arrival.

"My lord, the other side is calm and peaceful."

"But we still need to be careful."

"Although the immortals have not made any moves, there are restrictions and ferocious beasts everywhere within a hundred miles of these two banks."

The leader responded.

"There's still a 200-kilometer radius left?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi couldn't help but sigh.

I never imagined there was such a long range.

"Yes, these areas on both sides were arranged by us together."

"Generally speaking, those of us on this side know whether it's dangerous or not."

"But once we get to the other side, we don't know."

The man nodded and pointed ahead, saying, "Sir, you may come with me to take a look."

"Alright, lead the way."

Ning Qi nodded and then asked him to lead the way.

"please."

The man respectfully accepted the order and then began to lead the way.

Ning Qi didn't say anything and just continued forward.

After walking for a while, Ning Qi learned through their conversation that the man's name was Tieshan.

His troops had already separated from them by the time they reached the camp.

Ning Qi and Tie Shan were walking on the road leading to the river at that moment.

They didn't fly; they walked on the ground.

"My lord, there are restrictions and formations all along the way."

"If we fly, we might accidentally trigger the array's restrictions, and that would be troublesome."

Tieshan explained as he led the way.

"Hmm, you said there are ferocious beasts here, what kind of ferocious beasts are they?"

Ning Qi nodded, then asked.

"My lord, these ferocious beasts are all very powerful."

"Many of them came from underground on this continent. As for how they came to be, we feel that they were brought here by the original inhabitants of this place."

"It must be a ferocious beast guarding this place."

Tieshan responded uncertainly.

"Oh, in that case, didn't you go down to explore?"

Ning Qi asked curiously.

"We went down there, but unfortunately we gained nothing and lost many people."

Tieshan sighed: "So, we can only stay here and wait for the immortal traces below to loosen on their own before going down."

"That would be a long time coming."

Ning Qi continued.

“We have plenty of time, and the traces of immortality below have already loosened a bit.”

“Every time there’s a commotion, we manage to acquire a lot of resources.”

Tieshan spoke eloquently: "That's why we've had people watching this place all year round."

"I see."

His words confirmed Ning Qi's earlier guess.

"Master, there is indeed a problem here."

Yao Ling also spoke immediately.

"Hmm, not bad."

Ning Qi communicated with him in his mind: "Everything here can be refined by someone."

"They were indeed stationed here for the resources."

"Master, if we go down there, I wonder if we'll be able to find any resources."

Yao Ling revealed a greedy look.

"I'll ask him."

After Ning Qi responded, he asked, "Where is the entrance to go down from here?"

“In the different settlements of each of our races.”

Tieshan responded.

"station?"

Ning Qi frowned upon hearing this.

"Ah, it's at the base. Then we came out for nothing."

Yao Ling looked disappointed.

"Aren't they available elsewhere?"

Ning Qi asked in a deep voice.

He hadn't expected it to turn out this way; he wished he hadn't come out.

"Yes, but we're not sure where it is, because its entrance can change."

Tieshan shook his head and continued, "If we want to find the entrance, we have to go to a place that is rarely visited by people."

“Any fixed entrance is occupied by people.”

"You've taken it, so why don't you go explore it?"

Ning Qi turned his head and asked.

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to go, it's that I'm useless."

"We simply cannot break through his restrictive formation."

"Even if some can be broken through, going down into them will only lead to traps and pitfalls."

"It makes it impossible for us to continue exploring."

Tieshan shook his head: "We feel that this is something they deliberately did to lure us there."

"However, sometimes the miracles he reveals can be quite rewarding."

That's why we're staying here.

"In other words, you will only take action if you discover any traces of immortality."

Ning Qi finally understood.

"Yes, we won't take the risk if there are no resources to be found during the exploration."

"Many of the entrances here are fake; they're all there to lure people to their deaths."

Tieshan nodded emphatically.

Finally, I explained it to Ning Qi.

"Sir, once we get here, the river will be just twenty li ahead."

Unbeknownst to them, they had already approached the river.

"Boom..."

The roar could still be heard from afar.

What's that sound?

Ning Qi frowned.

"Sir, this is the sound of the river flowing."

Tieshan continued, "This twenty-mile radius is the area where neither of us has deployed our forces."

“There are ferocious beasts roaming around here, but we have also found a few paths that can be traversed with caution.”

"Oh? You mean, it's not safe here either."

Ning Qi asked.

"Yes, sir, I'll see you off here."

"Keep walking straight ahead from here, and you'll reach the riverbed. This is the safest path we've found."

"As long as you don't leave this road, you won't encounter any ferocious beasts."

"There won't be any array formations or restrictions either."

Tieshan nodded and pointed to the road ahead.

Here, there is a narrow path, clearly one they made.

"Okay, let's stop here then."

Ning Qi nodded and glanced at it.

"Then, I shall take my leave."

Tieshan said respectfully.

"Go."

Ning Qi simply waved his hand.

Tieshan then left immediately.

"Master, is it safe here?"

The spirit came to his shoulder and looked ahead.

They immediately noticed that the road ahead was filled with a strong sense of malevolence.

"It's definitely not safe to come here."

"Otherwise, neither the Demon Clan nor the Immortal Clan would be able to give up control of this place."

Ning Qi looked ahead and then continued walking forward.

The spirit stood on his shoulder, occasionally observing the surroundings.

Ning Qi walked onto the road and began to explore with his divine sense.

"The restrictions here are gone, which means the demons no longer have control over this place."

He analyzed, "Tieshan is right. Although there are no restrictions in this area, there are still array fluctuations."

"This road has been there before, but it was paved out by their people with their lives."

That's why it wasn't that serious.

"Then we can go directly to the river."

Yao Ling was relieved.

"Walk."

Ning Qi didn't delay any longer and sped up.

He quickly made his way through the forest, and frowned slightly as he approached a dense grove.

The road here is a bit blurry, but you can still see their route.

However, Ning Qi could sense some fluctuations of life force in this dense forest.

This means that there is a possibility of encountering ferocious beasts here. "Master, I sense that there are ferocious beasts inside."

Yao Ling stared intently ahead and said, "Moreover, their strength is not weak either; it feels like they have at least the strength of a Celestial Immortal."

"Your feeling is right, there's more than one of them."

Ning Qi looked ahead and had already taken out his Chaos Sword.

"Shh!"

At that moment, there was movement in the dense forest.

"What is that?"

Yao Ling immediately became alert.

"A pack of wolves, and they're all wolves with the strength of Celestial Immortals."

Ning Qi pointed ahead: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be two more wolves with the strength of Golden Immortals."

"What should we do? It would be too dangerous to fight here."

Yao Ling looked around and said, "There are restrictive formations everywhere here."

“Strange, according to him, there shouldn’t be any ferocious beasts here. Even if there are, how come there are wolves?”

Ning Qi frowned, his expression turning serious.

"Master, we should go now, or we'll be in trouble later."

The medicine spirit whispered reminders in his ear.

"call!"

After he finished speaking, Ning Qi flashed into the void.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could catch his breath, several sharp blades came hurtling through the air below.

He is the target.

"Be careful."

Yao Ling quickly reminded him.

Ning Qi had already sensed something was wrong and immediately dodged away.

The dagger slashed through the sky and vanished instantly.

"So strong."

Ning Qi secretly said.

Then he kept his eyes fixed on the ground below.

The wolf pack did not let him go; several wolves had already leaped into the air.

It opened its blood-red maw and lunged at him to bite.

"Shh."

Ning Qi dodged the wolf, and the Chaos Sword slashed down in the same direction.

"puff."

With a single sword strike, the wolf's head was severed.

Blood splattered across the void, and the corpse fell to the ground.

Ning Qi easily killed a ferocious beast with the strength of a celestial being.

This enraged the wolves behind them.

They never expected Ning Qi to be so strong; in the blink of an eye, he killed one of their companions.

"Awoo!"

The alpha wolf below, possessing the strength of a Golden Immortal, roared angrily.

He was clearly giving orders, sending his wolves to take revenge.

"Ow..."

Then, dozens of wolves below charged madly toward Ning Qi.

"Master, this is bad."

Looking down at the wolf pack, Yao Ling said, "There are two wolves with the strength of Golden Immortals watching us. We need to be careful."

"Hmph, Chaotic Flames!"

Ning Qi snorted coldly and stopped holding back.

He directly activated the Chaos Flame.

Then they surged towards the wolf pack below.

Wherever the flames passed, the void itself rippled from the heat.

The void cracked open, and the fierce winds within began to surge wildly.

In the blink of an eye, it devoured the pack of wolves before it.

They were utterly vulnerable under Ning Qi's scorching heat.

The dense forest below was also affected.

The trees caught fire, and the flames spread instantly.

"Hmph, I was hoping to get through this quietly."

"It actually disrupted my plans."

Ning Qi's eyes were icy cold.

He originally planned to cross the river quietly and then sneak across.

He never expected to encounter a pack of wolves here, which disrupted his plans.

In this way, the other side will definitely be able to detect the commotion here, and there will definitely be people from the immortal race on the other side guarding against his crossing.

So, the plan fell through.

Ning Qi was enraged by the wolf pack, which is why he used the Chaos Flame to burn them.

Under the scorching heat of the chaotic flames, the wolf pack was no match for him.

They were instantly burned and screamed in agony.

However, the alpha wolf, as the leader, remained unaffected.

"Master, look."

Yao Ling also noticed the situation and pointed at the alpha wolf, saying, "He can actually erect a protective shield."

"Ah."

Ning Qi also went to take a look.

It was discovered that the wolf indeed had a protective shield.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the wolf had armor.

This armor is clearly man-made.

They certainly didn't grow on their own.

"They have owners!"

Yao Ling exclaimed in alarm, "Someone is attacking us!"

"It does have an owner, but it probably didn't come here to ambush us intentionally!"

"Their attack was aimless, meaning we stumbled upon it by chance."

Ning Qi shook his head, but quickly added, "But that's not necessarily true. Let's catch them and see what's going on."

After saying that, he directly transmitted his voice to Shi Xiaokun in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Master, do we need to open the inner realm?"

Shi Xiaokun responded immediately.

"Yes, we need to find an opportunity to attract them."

Ning Qi nodded.

"it is good."

After agreeing, Shi Xiaokun appeared in a flash.

They spotted two wolves in the distance, watching them intently.

"call."

He took a deep breath and then stepped back.

They opened the entrance to the inner world directly from a distance of 100 meters from them.

"Master, you can lure it over now."

He called out to Ning Qi from afar, "Come over here."

Ning Qi glanced back and saw that he had already opened the entrance to the inner world.

He then darted forward and charged at the alpha wolf.

"call!"

As it swooped down, a mocking glint appeared in the alpha wolf's crimson eyes.

Clearly, they didn't take Ning Qi seriously at all.

After seeing Ning Qi rush over, one of them opened its blood-red maw.

He charged straight at Ning Qi.

Ningzi did not use his Chaos Sword this time.

Instead, he took out an ordinary black sword and slashed at the alpha wolf.

"when!"

The next moment, the alpha wolf's steel teeth bit down hard on his Xuan sword.

With just a light bite, he shattered his Xuan Sword into pieces.

At the same time, the alpha wolf's claws reached for Ning Qi's chest.

Ning Qi's pupils constricted, and he suddenly retreated.

In the blink of an eye, they had retreated far away.

"Shh!"

After he retreated, another wolf suddenly rushed over.

It rushed towards Ning Qi at the same extremely fast speed.

As its fangs opened, it did not bite down on Ning Qi.

Instead, it directly unleashed a bolt of lightning.

It tore through the void and slashed directly down towards Ning Qi.

Wherever the lightning passed, even the void was torn apart.

"So strong."

Upon seeing this, Ning Qi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Master, be careful."

Yao Ling quickly reminded them, "They all have treasures inside them; these must be ferocious beasts that have been kept in captivity."

"What a surprise! I thought it was just an ordinary ferocious beast!"

Ning Qi frowned, staring intently at the two wolves in front of him.

He had already distanced himself from the area.

However, after seeing their attack methods, Ning Qi knew that this matter was by no means simple.

Could it be that we've been targeted all along? (End of Chapter)
