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

What are you trying to say?

Ning Qi did not understand what he meant.

All he could do was guess, but unfortunately, he couldn't even guess.

What exactly is it trying to express?

So he tried again, but still couldn't open the staircase leading to the third floor.

In the end, I chose to give up.

"Since we can't go up now, let's wait until we break through again and try again later."

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then focused his attention on the small snake.

It was chained up the whole time.

They could only move around in front of and behind the table against the wall; leaving this place was impossible.

He walked around and examined the chain. Driven by curiosity, Ning Qi took out his Chaos Sword and slashed at the chain.

"when."

After a crisp sound.

A blinding flash of fire erupted from the iron chain.

Ning Qi looked closely and found that the iron chain had not changed.

Under the single strike of the Chaos Sword, not even a single nick was created.

Is it that sturdy?

Ning Qi's eyes widened, revealing a solemn expression. He clearly hadn't expected that these seemingly ordinary iron chains would be so sturdy.

He was not willing to give up, so he pushed his strength to the limit.

Then he slashed down with his sword again.

The chains made only the sound of metal clashing when struck, without any change whatsoever.

Ning Qi looked at the Chaos Sword in his hand, then at the iron chains in front of him, and frowned.

"It seems that it's impossible for me to help you leave here."

He glanced at the little snake watching him and said with a smile, "Then we'll just have to figure something out later."

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, the little snake flicked its tongue again.

This time, it pointed Ning Qi in a direction.

It's on the other side of the wall.

Ning Qi looked at its tongue, then glanced at the wall.

You can see some patterns painted on this wall.

These patterns depict none other than the interior of this tower.

Upon seeing these paintings, Ning Qi suddenly realized what was going on here.

"I see."

He sighed, then smiled and said, "So, it turns out I was right all along."

"If we want to go to the next level, we need to break through again."

"So, what level of strength will one reach after reaching the seventh level?"

He looked at the prompts and understood what was going on.

To go further, you first need to surpass your current strength, and then you'll need to continue to break through to the next level.

The first layer, intended to help the little snake break free of its restraints, cannot be broken by brute force.

Because there are also restrictions on the iron chains here.

To break through, we need to use Taoist magic to remove the restrictions on it, so that the little snake can escape.

After figuring out the situation, Ning Qi went to the little snake again.

"Then I'll help you this once."

"It wasn't for nothing that you told me the secret of this place."

Ning Qi glanced at the little snake beside him, then said with a smile.

"hiss!"

The little snake happily flicked its tongue at him.

She clearly understood what he meant.

Ning Qi then sat cross-legged again and began to circulate the Ruoshui Three Thousand, coordinating it with his Dao patterns and water patterns.

They began to integrate the restrictions on the iron chains.

After the restrictions on the chains were activated, they began to resist him.

It made it difficult for Ning Qi to move an inch, but gradually it was integrated into his Dao patterns.

"Sizzle".

A series of piercing sounds began to emanate from the iron chain.

Ning Qi slightly opened his eyes to look.

He then discovered that the restrictions on the iron chain were beginning to break apart under his fusion.

Gradually, it was peeled off the iron chain.

One layer after another.

Time passed, and after two hours, Ning Qi finally broke the restriction on the iron chain.

Those layers of restrictions eventually all disappeared.

The true nature of the iron chains was revealed.

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

"call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and then stood up.

He took out his Chaos Sword once again.

"This time, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

He smiled and then raised the Chaos Sword high.

Then he swung his sword at the iron chain.

"when!"

A crisp metallic clanging sound rang out.

Ning Qi went to check again and found that the iron chain had been cut by his Chaos Sword.

We finally succeeded.

Ning Qi clapped his hands, then turned his attention to the little snake: "Now, you're free."

The little snake seemed to understand him, and it twitched its body.

Then, with a leap, he was in mid-air.

"hiss!"

It flicked its tongue and began to gather its body together.

At first, there were no changes, but later, things gradually changed.

It had transformed from a small snake back into a shimmering silver egg.

The silver light gradually faded, eventually turning into a green egg.

"Oh? What does that mean?"

Ning Qi stared wide-eyed at the drastic change in the little snake before him.

"call!"

After a short while, the egg began to change.

Cracks gradually appeared.

The crack was eventually opened by a pair of dragon horns.

"Ow!"

The next moment, a dragon's roar came from inside the egg.

"Oh? You're bound?"

"Then I'll lend you a hand."

Seeing this, Ning Qi immediately understood what was going on.

So, he spread his hands, circulated his immortal power, and poured it into the cracks of the egg.

"call!"

A strong gust of wind caused the crack in the egg to widen further.

"Isn't that enough?"

Seeing this, Ning Qi put in even more effort.

Then, he channeled all his strength and pushed hard against the egg.

"Crack!"

The next moment, he activated the egg and it opened.

"Awoo!"

The next moment, a green dragon roared out of the egg.

It started out as small as a palm, but gradually rose higher and higher.

Its body also grew larger, and by the time it reached the roof, it was already more than a foot long.

At this point, it stopped growing and shrank back to the size of a palm.

It flew down from the void and came to Ning Qi's side.

It began to roam happily back and forth in front of him.

It's like expressing gratitude.

"Oh? It's done so quickly?"

Ning Qi looked at the little snake in front of him and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "It's a pity you can't talk. If only you could." "Master, I can talk now."

But just as he was feeling sentimental, he heard the little snake's voice.

"Oh? How could I hear you?"

Ning Qi immediately became curious.

The key point is that this little snake could actually call him "master".

I haven't even acknowledged it as my master, so what's going on?

“Master, once the restrictions here are broken, you will be my master.”

The little snake happily explained to Ning Qi, "I've been imprisoned here, waiting for someone destined to break the seal."

"It's been tens of thousands of years, and you are the first person to be able to break the restrictions here."

"Oh? You mean someone else has been here before?"

Ning Qi listened to the little snake's words and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, someone has been here before."

"Unfortunately, they either lack comprehension or their strength is insufficient."

The little snake nodded and continued, "They lack understanding; they can't even see the paintings on the walls."

"You're the first person to see this painting!"

"Oh? This painting isn't something everyone can see?"

Ning Qi became interested immediately after hearing what the little snake said.

He never imagined that the painting would have such power.

"Yes, I already noticed that you could see this painting when you were breaking the barrier upstairs."

"You just didn't notice!"

The little snake nodded and said with a smile, "Master, if you want to break through the restrictions above, you need to reach the strength of a Golden Immortal!"

"It's impossible to go up before you break through your strength."

"Yes, I understand now."

Ning Qi nodded, then asked, "So, what's up there?"

"Master, that's a white tiger, a very fierce creature!"

"It's not easy to subdue you, but once you break through your strength, it won't be a difficult task."

The little snake thought for a moment, then explained.

"Oh? Is it a white tiger?"

Upon hearing his words, Ning Qi couldn't help but say, "I'd like to see just how difficult it is to tame."

"Master, that can only be done after your strength breaks through."

The little snake added.

"Alright, so what can you do to help me?"

Ning Qi nodded, then turned his attention to the little snake.

Curiosity gleamed in his eyes.

"Master, I can possess your body."

"It can enhance your strength, and I can also increase your body's defense and regeneration capabilities."

"As long as you have a breath left, we can keep you alive."

The little snake looked at Ning Qi and said seriously.

"So you're a wood element person, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi smiled and said, "I see."

Yes, that's right!

The little snake agreed.

"Okay, so this can be considered a gain."

Ning Qi nodded, then turned his attention back to the little snake: "So, what's the story behind the person who said that your tower has an independent space, a space of its own?"

"Master, this is an independent space that you can only use once you break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level."

"For now, it can only be used as a Sumeru space."

The little snake spoke earnestly to Ning Qi.

"Okay, I understand."

Ning Qi nodded, then turned his attention outside: "In that case, you can leave here with me."

"it is good!"

The little snake agreed.

Then, in a flash, he transformed into a wisp of green mist.

Then it disappeared into Ning Qi's arm, followed by a wisp of green smoke.

A blue dragon mark appeared on Ning Qi's arm, but it disappeared completely after a few breaths.

He wasn't too curious; instead, he simply slipped away from the tower.

"Owner!"

As soon as he appeared, Yao Ling rushed over.

His eyes were filled with worry: "Are you alright? I think I just heard a dragon's roar inside."

"You heard right, there really is a dragon inside."

Ning Qi smiled and said upon hearing this.

"Huh? It really is! That old guy wasn't lying to us."

Upon hearing his words, Yao Ling couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems we still need to scare them a little."

"He wasn't telling the truth either; it's probably all just rumors he spread!"

Ning Qi shook his head and then said, "I found these myself, and they have nothing to do with him."

"Master, then we'll go and settle accounts with him tomorrow."

"That old bastard, he still dared to lie to people even on his deathbed."

Yao Ling rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.

"No need. Although what he said is not right, it is still useful."

"With this treasure, even if I reach the Golden Immortal or even the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I will have a magical artifact to rely on."

Ning Qi shook his head, then smiled and said, "He's trying to fool us, but his thing is indeed a treasure."

"He probably doesn't even know it himself."

"Oh, that's good. Master, what happened to that dragon?"

Yao Ling nodded, then suddenly remembered something and quickly asked.

"I have already subdued the dragon; it's on my arm."

Ning Qi stretched out his arm as he spoke.

Then he activated his immortal power.

"Shh!"

A dragon-shaped mark suddenly appeared.

As the mark appeared, Yao Ling gasped in astonishment: "My God, it's an Azure Dragon!"

“Master, we’ve really struck gold this time. This dragon alone is worth more than just that little bit of spiritual essence.”

"That's right, so this old guy was trying to fool us, but he fooled himself."

Ning Qi nodded, then let out a long sigh: "Alright, it's getting late, let's get ready to rest."

"it is good!"

Yao Ling agreed, then went back to bed, found a spot, and rested.

Ning Qi also returned to bed, sat down, and began to rest with his eyes closed.

The night flew by, and after the two rested, dawn broke quickly.

By the time they all lazily got up, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Ning Qi."

Outside the door, Xu Qingqiu couldn't contain herself any longer and came over to call them.

"coming."

Ning Qi then got up and went to the door.
Open the door.

They saw that Xu Qingqiu was already waiting for them.

Why are you all up so late?

Xu Qingqiu asked with some curiosity.

"I spent some time refining this iron tower last night, which was a bit of a waste!"

Ning Qi said without hesitation.

He had no intention of hiding the pagoda from Xu Qingqiu.

"Oh? So, did you find anything?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqiu became interested and asked.

"Hmm, I've made a discovery."

Ning Qi nodded, then continued, "This old guy didn't lie to us, but what he said was a little different from what he said."

"That's good. As long as you weren't scammed, I was worried you'd be tricked."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Ning Qi, she continued, "So what kind of magic weapon is this? What is it used for?"

She was clearly also very interested in the magic weapon.

"Several spirit beasts are sealed inside, not ordinary spirit beasts, but divine beasts."

Ning Qi paused, then said in a deep voice. (End of Chapter)
