Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1152 - 505: Narrow Escape (2)

Ning Qi finally moved, his hands reaching out.

Observing his own transformations.

"Is this the power of the Red Flame Immortal Technique?"

Ning Qi looked inside his Dantian and body, discovering that there was an earth-shaking change within him.

Originally, after his body had been refined by the pressure of the Three Thousand Waters, it had made a qualitative breakthrough.

This time, after being refined by the Red Lotus and Red Flame Immortal Technique, his physique became even stronger.

His entire being, from inside out, was like a piece of primordial stone.

Giving a feeling of being indestructibly powerful.

"If it weren’t for the Infinite Evil Qi within me, I probably wouldn’t have succeeded so easily."

Ning Qi waved his hand, and a wisp of evil qi with a black sheen appeared in his palm.

In the center of this evil qi, a trace of red flame danced.

Following Ning Qi’s manipulation, the red flame instantly became jubilant.

Like a child, it excitedly pulsated in the palm of his hand.

Evil qi merged with the red flame.

Prior to this, his strength was already invincible in the True Immortal Realm.

But now?

Being fundamentally different from their cultivation system, he couldn’t compare his strength by their standards.

However, if he encountered Dao Bujin again, he wouldn’t be beaten running around the world to save his life, would he?

Ning Qi’s eyes flickered, looking towards the path he came from.

It was still pitch-black, but different, as he could vaguely see through the blackness ahead using his vision.

"Big brother, once the Red Flame Immortal Technique achieves Great Success, it can see through all illusion."

"This little bit of black water can’t block your sight."

The Medicine Spirit maneuvered his Immortal Pill, leaped onto Ning Qi’s shoulder, and said to Ning Qi, "You can return from here!"

"Oh? You can see through it?"

Ning Qi turned to look at the Medicine Spirit on his shoulder.

"Yes, I can see through it."

"Isn’t this the road we came from?"

The Medicine Spirit nodded, pointing to the path ahead, "And I can feel that someone is waiting for you in front."

"Are we going back from here?"

"No."

Ning Qi shook his head, "I endured so much suffering just to lure them over."

"If I just returned, even if I escaped, they would still track me down."

"Rather, let them think that I’m still here!"

"Huh? What do we do then?"

"We can’t go deeper, right?"

The Medicine Spirit looked back after hearing him, "Going further, there will be twisted creatures."

"And the black water grows denser, your current strength can’t withstand it."

"There’s no need for us to go deeper."

"This place spans the Fifteenth and Fourteenth Districts, can’t I go horizontally to the Fourteenth District?"

Ning Qi pointed in a direction and smiled, "From here, I’ll take a detour back."

"At that time, taking an insect hole is also convenient."

"Oh! You gave me a scare."

"I thought you were going inside!"

The Medicine Spirit relaxed after hearing his explanation.

"If it were before, I wouldn’t dare go this way either!"

"However, having cultivated the Red Flame Immortal Technique, I can act within this hundred-immortal range without issues."

Ning Qi looked ahead and continued, "Let’s go, let those fools wait here."

"They’ll give up sooner or later, and by then, my goal will be achieved."

"Okay!"

Even if the Medicine Spirit didn’t agree, it had no choice.

He was merely a weak Medicine Spirit, without Ning Qi’s protection, he could only wait for death.

Even being corroded by the black water was only a matter of time.

Thus, he could only comply with Ning Qi’s words.

Ning Qi thus maneuvered his flying boat to continue moving towards the Fourteenth District.

After he left here, Dao Bujin outside the Black Water Area still had his brows furrowed.

"Palace Master, it’s been almost ten days, do we still need to wait?"

"Yes, he’s probably already dead inside!"

"..."

Several guards came over, asking separately.

They had already spent quite some time here.

There was no longer any reason to stay.

Anyone who could last this long inside might have already been consumed by the twisted creatures.

"Let’s go, I can’t sense his presence anymore."

Dao Bujin, after sensing for a while, sighed.

Then he waved his hand, ordering the team to begin withdrawing.

"Yes!"

"..."

The guards were already restless. Upon his order, they each manipulated their flying boats to leave.

After all these days of guarding, they were finally free.

After the flying boat had turned, Dao Bujin still looked back at the Black Water Region.

His brows remained tightly furrowed, sensing Ning Qi might still be alive.

But this was the Black Water Region, he had been in there so long, and was poisoned by his divine poison.

How could he be alive?

After reconsidering, Dao Bujin stopped thinking about it.

Sitting on the deck, allowing his subordinates to control the flying boat back along the original route.

This time, he had lost half of his men.

Several flying boats were lost too, but it was still fruitful.

At least the person who dared to defy the Immortal Selection Pavilion had been cornered to death by him.

This matter was considered to have come to an end.

A few days after they’d left, another flying boat arrived outside the Meteorite Turbulence Zone.

On the deck were two people, Wei Immortal and the Saint Ancestor.

"Strange, there’s been no news after reaching here."

The Saint Ancestor looked at the scene, frowning slightly.

"Look, there’s evidence of battle!"

Wei Immortal pointed to the meteorite area ahead, quickly maneuvering their flying boat over.

They saw that on these meteorites, someone had set up an array.

"Ruo Shui Three Thousand Array!"

The Saint Master immediately recognized Ning Qi’s array, showing a worried expression, and began searching around for traces.

But, apart from some smashed flying boats and a faint bloody smell, they found nothing.

"We haven’t received any response from our communication over these two days."

"Could something have really happened?"

Wei Immortal observed the battlefield ahead, starting to worry too.

"Yes, it’s been twenty days without any news!"

The Saint Ancestor felt the same, a person with no news for so long must have been in trouble.

Seeing the tragic state of the battlefield made the two increasingly uneasy.

"Whoa!"

"There’s news!"

Suddenly Wei Immortal exclaimed, hastily taking out his communication jade pendant.

"Swish!"

In an instant, Ning Qi’s illusory figure appeared before the two.

"Kid, where have you been! We were worried sick!"

Upon seeing Ning Qi, the Saint Ancestor hurriedly asked.

His face was filled with concern.

"I was chased into the Black Water Region, and communication here doesn’t work!"

Ning Qi’s illusory body wavered, showing a look of having narrowly escaped death: "So I have been running along the Black Water Region towards the Fourteenth District."

"After flying for days here, I finally got out. Where are you, this doesn’t look like the True Martial Realm!"

"We’re in the Meteorite Turbulence Zone between the Black Water and Gray Mist Areas."

"Lots of fractured meteorites here and the arrays you set up, you were fighting them here, weren’t you!"

Wei Immortal waved the communication jade pendant around, showing Ning Qi the surroundings.

"Yes, that’s right. The people from the Immortal Selection Pavilion have left, right?"

"Be careful, don’t get caught by them!"

Upon agreeing, Ning Qi suddenly thought of something, showing concern.

"They won’t, rest assured, we’ve already checked. Within a few hundred immortals’ range here, it’s just the two of us!"

The Saint Master smiled and then asked, "You just said you’ve reached the Fourteenth District? Can you now return to our True Martial Spirit Realm?"

"Yes, but I have to wait. After contacting you here in the Gray Mist Area, I need to return to the Black Water Region!"

Ning Qi nodded and continued.

"Huh? Why go back?"

"It’s dangerous in there!"

Wei Immortal looked at Ning Qi in confusion, hastily reminding, "You should find an insect hole to teleport back."
