Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1305 - 582: Subjugating the Cyan Dragon

"What are you trying to say?"

Ning Qi didn’t understand what it meant.

He could only guess, but unfortunately, he couldn’t even make a guess.

What exactly was it trying to convey?

Thus, he tried again here, but ultimately couldn’t unlock the stairs leading to the third floor.

In the end, he chose to give up.

"Since I can’t go up now, I’ll try again after breaking through in the future."

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then shifted his attention to the small snake.

It had been locked by an iron chain from the beginning.

It could only move around the table by the wall; leaving here was impossible.

He approached and inspected the chain, driven by curiosity, Ning Qi took out his Chaos Sword and struck at the chain.

"Clang."

After a crisp sound.

A blinding spark burst from the chain.

Upon closer inspection, Ning Qi found that the chain hadn’t changed at all.

Even after a strike from the Chaos Sword, not a single notch was made.

"Is it really that strong?"

Ning Qi glanced with widened eyes, with an expression of seriousness, clearly not expecting this ordinary-looking chain to be so sturdy.

He refused to give up and pushed his power to its limits.

Then struck again.

This time, the chain only issued the sound of metal clashing, yet still hadn’t changed in any way.

Ning Qi stared at the Chaos Sword in his hand, then at the chain in front of him, furrowing his brows.

"It seems I can’t help you leave here."

He looked at the small snake beside him, smiling, "We’ll have to find a way later."

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, the small snake stuck out its tongue again.

This time, it directed Ning Qi to a wall.

Ning Qi looked at its tongue and glanced up at the wall.

Saw that some patterns were drawn on the wall.

These patterns depicted the internal structure of the tower.

Upon seeing these illustrations, Ning Qi finally understood what was going on.

"I see."

He sighed, smiling, "Looks like I understood correctly just now."

"To reach the next level, I need to break through once more."

"What level will my strength reach after the seventh layer?"

Looking at the hints here, he comprehended the situation.

To go higher, he must first break his current strength, and keep breaking through to ascend.

To help the small snake free itself from the first layer’s constraint, brute force wouldn’t work.

Because there was also a Restriction on this chain.

To break it, he must use Daoist Skills to lift the Restriction on it, thus allowing the snake to escape.

Once he understood, Ning Qi returned to the small snake.

"Let me help you out this time."

"It’s the least I can do since you told me this secret."

Glancing at the snake beside him, Ning Qi said with a smile.

"Hiss!"

The small snake happily flickered its tongue at him.

It seemingly understood his intentions.

Ning Qi then sat down, crossed his legs, and started channeling Three Thousand Waters, coordinating his Dao Pattern and Water Pattern.

Began merging the Restriction on the chain.

At first, the Restriction was activated, competing against him.

Making Ning Qi struggle, but gradually under the integration of his Dao Patterns, it blended in.

"Sizzle, sizzle."

From the chain erupted piercing sounds.

Ning Qi half-opened his eyes to look.

Noticed the Restriction beginning to fracture under his merging.

Gradually peeling off layer by layer from the chain.

Time began to slip away, and after two hours, Ning Qi finally broke the Restriction on the chain.

All those layered Restrictions finally disappeared.

Revealing the true appearance of the chain.

It was a silver chain, with fluorescent lights flickering on it.

"Whew!"

Ning Qi let out a deep breath and stood up.

Once more, he drew his Chaos Sword.

"This time, it should work."

He smiled, raised the Chaos Sword high.

Then struck at the chain.

"Clang!"

With a crisp metal clash echoing.

Ning Qi inspected again, realizing the chain had been severed by his Chaos Sword.

Success at last.

Clapping his hands, Ning Qi turned his attention to the snake: "Now you are free."

The small snake seemed to understand his words and shivered slightly.

Then leaped into the air.

"Hiss!"

It flicked its tongue, beginning to gather its body.

Initially, there was no change, but gradually, transformation occurred.

From a snake, it reverted to a silver, gleaming egg.

Gradually, the silver light contracted, eventually altering into a green egg.

"Oh? What does this mean?"

Ning Qi watched the small snake transform drastically, his eyes widening.

"Swoosh!"

After a cup of tea’s time, the egg began to change.

Gradually forming cracks.

These cracks were finally forced open by a pair of dragon horns.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar emerged from inside the egg.

"Oh? Was it held back by constraints?"

"Let me lend you a hand."

Ning Qi, witnessing the situation, immediately understood what was happening.
