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

Chapter 592 Heavenly Black Lotus

"Where did that old servant go?"

Lei Shan asked curiously.

"Several years ago, I encountered a member of the Immortal Clan, who was also killed."

Ning Qi sighed helplessly, revealing a hint of grief and indignation.

It's heartbreaking to think about this.

My condolences.

Lei Shan was fooled by his expression and comforted him, saying, "However, now that you're here, you have a chance to get revenge."

"I hope so."

Ning Qi nodded, his eyes showing curiosity: "Brother Lei, you should introduce me to the people in charge here, so that I won't be impolite when we meet later."

"The clan leader sitting here is Zhao Yunze, the son of the Heavenly Demon Zhao Lingtian."

"His strength is at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm; he's just one step away from catching up with his father."

Lei Shan thought for a moment, then said, "He also has a daughter, Zhao Zhirou."

"His strength is also that of a Celestial Immortal, but he is slightly weaker than his father, Zhao Yunze."

"With my granddaughter and son both here, it's no wonder this place is so powerful."

Ning Qi understood what was going on after hearing his words.

With a Golden Immortal expert in charge, how could things be bad?

"She also has two brothers, the eldest brother Zhao Tianlei and the second brother Zhao Tianzang."

"Zhao Tianlei has the strength of a ninth-grade Celestial Immortal, while Zhao Tianzang has the strength of a fifth-grade Celestial Immortal."

Lei Shan continued, "Besides, there are other families and elders guarding this place, making it impregnable."

"Even if a large army of immortals attacks, we can withstand it."

"Even if Zhao Lingtian and Xu Shichang don't come, we don't care."

"That's true. Their family alone is powerful enough."

Ning Qi nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

"Master, then we have no hope. They are too strong."

"This hasn't even introduced the elders and other families yet."

Yao Ling shrank her neck and said, "What should we do? There's no chance if we go in."

"Don't worry, it's enough that we can keep them informed."

"They're so strong, do we really have to go head-to-head with them?"

Ning Qi's thoughts raced as he communicated with Yao Ling: "Don't always boost others' morale while diminishing your own."

“What the master says is true.”

Yao Ling quickly agreed.

"As for the others, if we happen to meet them, I'll introduce them to you."

Lei Shan then added, "We'll be there soon."

"it is good!"

Ning Qi nodded and followed.

They soon left the passage and arrived in a world completely different from the outside world.

As far as the eye can see, there is black demonic energy everywhere.

The mountains and rivers all had a hazy, gray feel, as if they were covered with a layer of dust.

The air itself felt oppressive, making Ning Qi feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"There are quite a few villages here, all of them small tribes."

"If we keep going, we'll come across the Zhao family chief's village. That's really impressive."

Lei Shan led the way while explaining things to Ning Qi.

"Oh? There are so many different villages."

Ning Qi listened to his introduction and let out a soft "hmm".

Then they followed.

"Yes, this way we can avoid intermarriage among our fellow demons and prevent our bloodline power from being destroyed."

Lei Shan scratched his head and smiled: "As you know, we demons don't care about so many things. As long as we like each other, we can be together."

“We can even forcibly abduct them. Only by placing them in the same village can we avoid harming the people in our own village.”

"I see, I really didn't know that."

Ning Qi shook his head and said with a smile.

"Of course you wouldn't know, since you didn't grow up in our demon race."

Lei Shan continued, but then quickly realized something and hurriedly said, "Brother Ning, that's not what I meant, I meant..."

"Brother Lei, there's no need to explain, I understand!"

Ning Qi said it without caring at all.

"OK!"

"Brother Ning is a straightforward person!"

Lei Shan laughed heartily, then continued leading the way: "Let's go, we'll be there soon."

Next, Ning Qi and Lei Shan continued their journey together.

As they passed through village after village, people would greet Lei Shan every now and then.

Ning Qi judged that the family and village in Leishan were also quite powerful here.

And that Iron Ape must also be quite powerful.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be here guarding the gate.

"We've arrived."

At that moment, Lei Shan suddenly turned to Ning Qi and said.

"arrive?"

Ning Qi then came to his senses and looked up at the village in front of him.

This is no longer a village, but rather something akin to a city.

After Lei Shan arrived, he greeted the guards and then led Ning Qi inside.

"To become one of us, you must first pass a test."

“Many demons come here for testing every day.”

"However, I can let you cut in line."

Lei Shan smiled and said to Ning Qi.

"Oh? There's a queue."

Ning Qi let out a soft "hmm" and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, there are many demons like you."

“They are all homeless and come here to line up for our testing.”

"Once you pass the test, you can become one of us."

Lei Shan nodded, then continued to explain, "However, for the next year, you will become our Deadpool."

"If you pass, you can draw lots here a year later to go to a mountain village."

"At that time, you will become a true member of our tribe, but you will also have to join our army."

"If there is a war here, you must also fight with all your might."

"I see, I understand now."

After listening to his explanation, Ning Qi understood what was going on.

The chances of becoming a true member of this tribe are very low.

Just like the people he killed before, they were probably those foreign demons.

After passing a year-long Deadpool test, they still have to join the army as cannon fodder.

It is almost impossible to survive this process.

In the end, what they protect are the local indigenous people.

That's a really good idea, simply because they are powerful enough here.

Then, lone demons will come to seek refuge.

"Brother Ning, it also depends on strength. Your strength is at least at the Celestial Immortal level."

"You'll naturally receive special treatment once you arrive!"

"Compared to them, they are naturally much stronger."

Seeing Ning Qi lost in thought, Lei Shan smiled and explained.

"Oh? There's special treatment for this?"

Ning Qi became interested immediately upon hearing this.

However, I didn't have high hopes, after all, he was an outsider.

It's impossible for them to accept it all at once.

"Yes, let's go."

"There will be benefits, but trials and tests are inevitable."

Lei Shan nodded, then continued to lead the way for him.

Soon, they arrived at a square in the city.

There were some people waiting here, all of them whispering to each other.

"They're waiting in line here for their trials."

Lei Shan pointed at these people and then continued, "Many of them have the same background as you; they've all come here for revenge."

"Some come looking for a powerful backer."

"Okay, then I'll join the queue here too."

Ning Qi nodded and turned his gaze forward.

The people here were indeed queuing up, and there were several demons in front of them, who were being tested.

Beside them stood a stone platform, upon which rested a stone pillar, shrouded in demonic energy.

Each person who came forward in line would unleash their demonic energy, then condense a wisp of soul blood, which would then merge into the stone pillar.

With the blessing of demonic energy and soul blood, the stone pillar began to be activated.

After a tremor, the stone pillar returned to its original position.

"You lad, go over there."

The person standing next to the stone pillar glanced at it and then pointed to the area in the distance.

There were also people there receiving members of the demon race, but they were all people like this person.

Clearly, their strength is only sufficient for that area.

It seems they're assigning some tricky tasks to make him cannon fodder.

They were taken away before they even had a chance to integrate.

"Once ten of these people are gathered, they will be assigned to other positions."

"You have to complete some missions, and if you can come back alive after three missions, you will receive our resources."

"They can rest here for a while and then continue their mission."

Lei Shan explained to Ning Qi.

"Oh, then it depends on your own abilities."

Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile.

"Correct!"

Lei Shan smiled as well.

Ning Qi simply turned his gaze back to what was ahead.

At this moment, one of the demons activated the stone pillar, unleashing a fierce aura.

It made the eyes of those watching light up.

"Go over there."

So, that person sent the demon to another place.

There were only two people there, and both of them looked unruly.

"These people have some talent, and we will use our resources to nurture them."

"They will be the team leaders when we carry out missions in the future!"

Lei Shan then explained to Ning Qi.

"Yes, I can tell."

Ning Qi simply nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then, these people are also divided into different classes."

"Yes, that's right!"

After Lei Shan responded, he led him through the crowd and arrived at the stone pillar.

"Elder Lei."

Upon seeing Lei Shan, the man greeted him politely.

"Come on, let's test this guy."

Lei Shan made way and pointed at Ning Qi: "Try using metal and stone."

"Gold and stone?"

The man's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing his words.

Ning Qi then noticed that there were two more stone pillars besides the black stone pillar.

One is silver, and the other is gold.

Obviously, there is a difference.

"Correct."

Lei Shan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Activate it, let him try."

"Well... he should have tried them one by one."

The man hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but say something.

“His strength and talent are both very strong. If we let him use these, then the people behind you may have to wait a while longer.”

"His strength could very well destroy this ordinary stone pillar."

Lei Shan shook his head, then continued.

"Okay, I understand."

The man nodded, then waved.

He immediately removed the restrictions on the golden stone pillar and said to Ning Qi, "Activate the demonic energy, condense the soul blood, and try to integrate it into it."

"it is good!"

Ning Qi didn't waste any more words and stepped forward after agreeing.

"Let's begin."

The man glanced at him and then offered a casual reminder.

Ning Qi didn't say anything.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he condensed a stream of soul blood.

At the same time, it aroused his demonic energy.

After the demonic energy condensed, a chaotic flame was immediately incorporated into it.

It was driven directly into the golden stone pillar.

"call."

As his demonic energy and soul blood entered it, the golden stone pillar burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

Then everything returned to calm, and there was no further reaction.

"Oh? This...that can't be right."

Upon seeing this, Lei Shan frowned.

I thought I had misjudged it.

I never expected Ning Qi to be so strong at such a young age.

Surprisingly, he didn't have any special talent.

A look of disappointment immediately appeared on that face.

"Elder Lei, this..."

The man hesitated, a hint of mockery on his face.

"Master, this shouldn't be happening. Is it because you possess the power of the ancestral bloodline of the Immortal Clan that this stone pillar recognized you?"

The spirit medicine was also somewhat unwilling within his dantian.

"I don't know, I didn't use the power of the Immortal Clan's bloodline just now."

"I used my cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, as well as the bloodline power I obtained in the Land of Inheritance."

Ning Qi also felt something was off.

"Even Elder Lei can be fooled sometimes."

"Yes, they must have mistaken someone for someone else."

"..."

People around had already started talking about it.

This made Lei Shan feel a little embarrassed.

"Om."

However, just as he was about to take Ning Qi away, the golden stone pillar began to vibrate.

It started as a slight tremor, but gradually became more intense.

"what happened?"

"It actually started moving on its own."

"impossible."

Immediately, people began to exclaim in surprise.

The man's expression also became quite interesting.

They all knew very well what it meant when the golden stone pillar stirred.

Legend has it that only their patriarch, Zhao Yunze, could make this golden stone pillar tremble.

Even Zhao Tianlei could only make the golden stone pillar glow, while Zhao Zhirou was slightly better and could make inscriptions appear on the golden stone pillar.

At this moment, Ning Qi actually made the golden stone pillar tremble as well.

This means that he possesses the same talent as Zhao Yunze.

"call."

The next moment, a series of strong winds surged forth, swirling around the golden stone pillars.

"Shh!"

In the blink of an eye, a golden light shot into the sky.

"Boom!"

Golden light shot into the sky, and the burst of light waves attracted the surrounding thunderclouds.

A rumbling, muffled thunder began to surge and linger here.

"How is this going?"

Immediately, people started talking about it.

As they discussed this, black lotus flowers began to appear within the thundercloud.
