Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1304 - 581: The Sealed Spirit Beast (2)

This layer seals the Cyan Dragon.

He then headed towards the stairs.

As he approached, he felt an enchantment preventing him from going up.

So, he focused on the enchantment here and began trying to break it using Three Thousand Waters and Dao Pattern.

After Ning Qi sat down, he activated Water Pattern and started merging with the enchantment.

Initially, it was incompatible, but gradually it fused with the Dao Pattern here.

Causing the enchantment at the entrance to loosen, and eventually, a pulse of unsettling energy surged from above.

Clearly, this was the breath of the Cyan Dragon sealed here.

"Almost there."

Feeling the breath, Ning Qi continued his efforts.

After his relentless effort, the pulse here intensified.

"Crack!"

Finally, with the enchantment exploding in a burst of energy, the enchantment here shattered.

This successfully opened the path for Ning Qi to go up.

So, he stood up and proceeded upwards.

Arriving at the second floor, he found it empty, except for a corner with a chain locking a small snake.

It was a small cyan snake, looking harmless.

But it seemed motionless, almost dead.

Curious, Ning Qi walked over, carefully observing the snake before him.

"Hiss."

Gradually, the snake sensed someone watching and slowly opened its eyes.

It fixed its gaze on Ning Qi.

Thus, they locked eyes.

As Ning Qi looked into its eyes, he felt a heavy weight pressing down on him.

"Phew!"

The next moment, his consciousness plunged, as if falling into an abyss.

"What’s going on?"

He gazed at the sudden change, feeling transported to some realm.

It was cold, ice crystals everywhere.

Even his breath turned into swirling mist, surprising Ning Qi.

Where was he?

He felt incredulous.

He had never imagined ending up in such a place.

So, he began searching for an exit.

Initially hopeful, but the longer he searched, the more fatigued he became.

Plus, the cold engulfed him, paralyzing him as if ice filled his veins, nearing collapse.

However, he persisted until he eventually couldn’t anymore.

His body fell down.

He lay limp, staring at the dark ceiling.

"No, I’ve reached Celestial Immortal Peak strength."

"Why am I still feeling cold?"

Ning Qi thought, growing increasingly perplexed.

Contemplating seriously for a moment, he realized something was wrong.

No, this... is an illusion.

Understanding this, Ning Qi laughed aloud: "An illusion."

With his shout, he abruptly jolted, returning to the floor.

The snake’s gaze bore a trace of disbelief.

Clearly, it didn’t expect Ning Qi to recover so quickly.

He appeared reinvigorated, untouched by the illusion’s emptiness.

This left the snake feeling more anxious.

"Beast, you want to deceive me again?"

Ning Qi fixed his gaze on the snake: "If I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t know the severity!"

"Hiss!"

The snake, realizing it was exposed, stopped hiding.

It rushed at Ning Qi like a dart.

As if a sharp sword, aiming for Ning Qi’s chest.

"Hmph, a trivial trick!"

Ning Qi snorted, extending his palm.

"Snap!"

He caught the snake firmly in his grasp.

"Hiss!"

The snake writhed, hissing at Ning Qi.

"Hmph, dreaming of escape?"

Ning Qi did not hold back, snorting coldly, tightening his grip.

He squeezed fiercely.

However, the imagined outcome of crushing the snake never occurred.

He held it like an indestructible rod, unable to crush it.

"Hiss!"

The snake, seeing Ning Qi fail, taunted him by hissing repeatedly.

"Hmph, don’t be proud, I’ll roast you."

Ning Qi snorted and activated the Blazing Flame.

The Chaos Flame transformed into a fiery mass, engulfing the snake.

In a flash, it enveloped it.

To Ning Qi’s surprise, his Chaos Flame, burning all, failed against the snake.

It couldn’t singe it.

On the contrary, the snake showed a leisurely demeanor.

"Hiss!"

It continued to hiss at Ning Qi, provoking him.

The taunt irritated Ning Qi.

If burning doesn’t work, then I’ll cut you.

Gritting his teeth, he took out his Chaos Divine Sword.

Aiming straight for the snake’s head.

"Clang."

But the strike didn’t cut off the snake’s head.

Instead, a flame sparked on its head.

Leaving Ning Qi more puzzled.

"Well, as expected of a Cyan Dragon."

He finally acknowledged the snake’s uniqueness.

Recalling ancient texts, confirming the snake’s identity.

The same Cyan Dragon mentioned.

"Hiss!"

The snake seemed to affirm his words, hissing continuously.

"It’s unfortunate to become a powerless little snake."

"Although I can’t kill you, you lack your former might."

Ning Qi shook his head, disappointed, placing the snake back on the desk.

"Hiss!"

The snake protested, hissing.

"Oh? Feeling defiant?"

"Too bad, you’re useless to me, and I can’t save you."

Ning Qi chuckled, shaking his head.

Planning to check the upper floors.

This Cyan Dragon, apparently drained of its power due to the seal.

It’s unknown how long it had endured this, being from Ancient Times, certainly over ten thousand years.

"Hiss!"

The snake provoked him, but now carried a mocking air.

Ning Qi glanced at it, losing interest.

He reached the stairs leading to the third floor.

"Bang!"

Here, an enchantment blocked him again.

Ning Qi snorted, sitting cross-legged.

Reactivating his Dao Pattern, merging with the Array Restriction.

At first, he seemed smoothly progressing, but suddenly a golden light appeared.

"Buzz!"

The golden light flared, snapping Ning Qi back to awareness.

"Phew!"

He exhaled deeply, feeling a chill.

If he hadn’t dodged, he’d be in trouble.

"What’s going on?"

Confused, Ning Qi questioned the situation.

"Hiss!"

The snake mockingly watched him.

"Do you know?"

Turning to the snake, Ning Qi asked: "What’s this, tell me!"

"Hiss!"

The snake replied with a hiss.

Clearly, it couldn’t speak.

"I understand, it’s due to my lack of strength."

Ning Qi’s eyes lit, facing the snake: "Is it?"

"Hiss."

The snake nodded, understanding him.

"So I can’t reach the third floor even with Celestial Immortal Peak prowess?"

Curious, Ning Qi gazed at the third floor’s entrance.

"Hiss!"

The snake hissed again, seemingly wanting to remind him.
