Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1196 - 527: I Saw You Sleeping Together! (2)

Xu Qingqiu glanced ahead, pointing forward and said, "You’re right, we’ve finally emerged."

"Just don’t know what this Immortal Door will have."

The Nine-tailed Cat also came along, looking at the path with a curious expression.

"Why don’t we go up and take a look?"

Ning Qi laughed and continued forward.

The group walked like this for the time it takes a stick of incense to burn, and the sunset was already beginning to descend.

They finally arrived in front of the mountain gate of the Immortal Door.

"This mountain gate is a bit strange, why does it look different from the ones we’ve encountered before?"

Ning Qi looked at the Immortal Door before him, revealing a curious expression.

"Look here!"

Xu Qingqiu discovered something and beckoned Ning Qi to come and check it out.

Ning Qi quickly came over, following to inspect the situation.

"This is... the mountain path of the Immortal Door!"

"Going up from here is the only way to get the recognition from the Immortal Door!"

"There’s a chance to become an Inner Sect Disciple!"

Medicine Spirit read it aloud and couldn’t help but say, "What we experienced earlier, those are all entry assessments of the Immortal Door!"

"The hills were actually designed to lure different people into different gorges deliberately."

"Going to different gorges means different tests! Which means that we all started at the same gorge."

"I see!"

Ning Qi suddenly realized.

"Also! The test for our gorge, the Cannibal Tree was the entry test."

"Testing our physique, only those who aren’t drained are qualified to move forward."

"The forest tests our insight!"

"The final demon tests our character!"

Medicine Spirit continued to explain, "Master, we forced our way through each level just like this!"

"This is also our opportunity, otherwise who could come through like this?"

Ning Qi couldn’t help but laugh and then said, "You keep looking, keep reading, see if there’s any trick!"

"Master, these steps test our resilience under pressure!"

"That means our body and soul can resist the weight of pressure."

"There are a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps here!"

"If you pass the last step, you’ll be considered as their Direct Disciple."

"Breaking through a thousand means becoming an Inner Sect Disciple!"

Medicine Spirit continued.

"Oh? The ability to withstand pressure?"

"Isn’t this just like my Three Thousand Waters?"

Ning Qi laughed aloud upon hearing Medicine Spirit’s words.

Never thought upon getting here that we would encounter such a test.

Isn’t this test tailor-made for him?

"Can you resist such pressure?"

Xu Qingqiu naturally understood his words and curiously looked at Ning Qi and asked.

"Yeah, this is too easy for me!"

"Since it’s late, I’ll teach you tonight."

"Learn from me, ponder overnight, and tomorrow we can go up together!"

Ning Qi laughed out loud and continued to say, "You two also learn from me, we’ll go up the mountain together!"

"Ah? Can we do that?"

The Nine-tailed Cat asked somewhat insecurely.

"Of course, my master is very powerful!"

Medicine Spirit displayed a look of pride.

"Come, I’ll teach you how to resist this pressure!"

"We’ll start first with my array!"

Ning Qi began teaching immediately, setting up his Three Thousand Waters Array on the ground.

Initially, everyone was slow, but with his guidance.

Before nightfall came entirely, Xu Qingqiu managed to learn Ning Qi’s Water Pattern Dao Rhyme.

The Nine-tailed Cat and Medicine Spirit were a bit behind, just managing to learn how to withstand the pressure.

And how to use their soul to resist this pressure.

Thus they kept learning till the latter half of the night.

The Nine-tailed Cat and Medicine Spirit had rested early.

Only Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu remained.

"Ning Qi, I’ve learned it!"

Xu Qingqiu smiled at Ning Qi and said.

At this moment, under her feet was the array, precisely the Three Thousand Waters.

"Your talent is very high, I knew it from when I saw you breaking arrays and heading up the mountain!"

Ning Qi nodded, smiled and said, "Speaking of which, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have reached the backyard of the bamboo house."

"I should thank you, for helping me repeatedly."

Xu Qingqiu gazed at Ning Qi with her beautiful eyes, then said, "Especially today, if it weren’t for you, I would have chosen self-explosion!"

"No need to thank, you’ve helped me plenty too!"

"Especially throughout the journey, having a companion to talk to makes it less dull!"

Ning Qi shook his head and smiled: "Now that we’re out of here, this trip is over!"

"I need to return to my realm to check the situation! I’ve been out for a while now!"

"Do not know how they’re doing."

"Yes, I’ve been out for a while as well."

"I believe when we are out, Master and Uncle are still there."

"This place is too vast; they must be slow searching one by one!"

Xu Qingqiu sighed longingly and glanced at Ning Qi: "When you return, if there’s a chance, I’ll visit you at your mountain gate!"

"Sure, I always welcome you!"

Ning Qi upon hearing her words, couldn’t help but clap his hands, "When that time comes, I’ll let you taste the delicacies of my realm!"

"Once out, I’ll introduce you to Master and them!"

"They will definitely like you!"

"We are a hospitable nation!"

Xu Qingqiu grew happier as she spoke, already planning to introduce Ning Qi.

"If there’s a chance, indeed!"

"But tomorrow when we climb, let’s see what benefits becoming a Direct Disciple brings!"

"After all, these Immortal Doors here might have perished ages ago!"

Ning Qi sighed longingly, his gaze landing at the top of the steps.

From there, looking back, some jade towers could faintly be seen.

Clearly, that’s the back mountain of this mountain gate.

However, wanting to go up requires passing this current level.

Ning Qi now feels confident.

He has enough assurance to succeed.

"Yes, we definitely can!"

Xu Qingqiu responded firmly.

The two casually chatted for a while, gradually entering into slumber.

Time flew by overnight, and when they woke, they found themselves lying on the same bluestone slab.

The two were nestled together.

Upon waking, Ning Qi found Xu Qingqiu looking at him with slightly shy eyes.

"Oh dear... how did we just chat and fall asleep last night!"

Ning Qi felt a bit awkward, scratching his head and said, "Really damned."

"It’s because we were too tired that we slept!"

Xu Qingqiu giggled, watching Ning Qi’s embarrassment with curious eyes.

It was the first time she saw Ning Qi so embarrassed.

Without feeling anything from her side, he reacted instead.

"Master!"

Amidst the subtle atmosphere between the two, came Medicine Spirit’s call.

"What’s up, shouting so early in the morning!"

Ning Qi responded to his call in annoyance.

Meanwhile, he also sat up from the bluestone slab, looking downward.

Medicine Spirit sat on the Nine-tailed Cat’s back, leaping over to them in quick bounds.

"Are we setting off now?"

The Nine-tailed Cat curiously asked Xu Qingqiu, inquiring about their plan.

"Yes, we’re setting off now, to test our weight!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded and sat up, raising her gaze to the steps ahead.

"Then let’s set off, I feel I can go straight to the top!"

Medicine Spirit was extremely confident, already impatient.

"Let’s go! Up the mountain to see the situation."

Ning Qi nodded then looked at Xu Qingqiu, "Miss Xu, ready?"

"Of course, let’s see who gets to the top first!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded, speaking as she walked forward.

Ning Qi followed closely behind.

Medicine Spirit jumped off the Nine-tailed Cat’s back, landing on Ning Qi’s shoulder, and asked mysteriously, "Master, are you two involved? I saw you sleeping together last night!"

"Shut up!"

Promptly, Ning Qi’s reprimand was heard.
