Chapter 486 Chaos Stone

The immense pressure nearly crushed him.

His proud power of immortality and demonic energy was easily suppressed by the power of this formation while it was in operation.

"How can it be so powerful?"

Ning Qi gritted his teeth.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and he was drenched in sweat.

It was clear that this pressure was not just ordinary pressure.

This is due to the suppression originating from the rules of the Great Dao.

It made his immortal and demonic power seem to have been soaked in a swamp.

"Hmph, it can't even withstand the mountain-protecting formation? What a joke."

Ning Qi gritted his teeth and struggled to support his body.

"no!"

Ning Qi gritted his teeth and had no choice but to use his privileges as a realm lord.

The realm of mountains and seas, the realm of vastness...

Give me your strength.

Ning Qi was screaming in his heart.

In an instant, he mobilized all the power within this realm.

A powerful force of boundary energy began to emerge, and strands of primal power began to support his body.

"call!"

After a few breaths, it completely converged into his body.

His aura suddenly surged, and his body, which had been hunched over, straightened up under his strong support.

The bones inside the body made a crackling sound like frying beans.

"Is that all you've got?"

Ning Qi's muscles bulged, and surging immortal and demonic power re-emerged around his body.

The profound aura of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the majestic grandeur of the Vast Realm, and the unparalleled power of the True Martial Realm all contribute to its strength.

Let him regain his footing.

"drink!"

Ning Qi seized the opportunity and used all his strength to push the door open.

"squeak!"

The door that had been tormenting him for so long was finally pushed open completely by him.

"Huff... huff..."

Ning Qi gasped for breath, barely managing to stand by leaning against the wooden door.

Look at the courtyard in front of me.

In the center of the courtyard stands an attic.

The attic has only three floors, and although it has gone through countless years, it has not left any trace on the building.

Looking down, in the center, there is a martial arts arena.

The training platform was over ten zhang long, and he didn't recognize the stone material.

However, it gave off a sense of weightiness, which aroused Ning Qi's curiosity.

This kind of stone is unlike anything I've ever seen or heard of.

Overall, it looks somewhat rough, and you can feel a kind of unsettling fluctuation within it.

As I stepped forward and reached out to touch it, a powerful surge of energy surged forth.

"call!"

Ning Qi let out a long sigh and widened his eyes: "What kind of stone is this?"

Unable to understand, he stopped paying attention to the stone and instead focused his attention on the martial arts arena.

Just one glance was enough to put his mind at ease.

There were bursts of energy fluctuations on the training platform.

A continuous stream of powerful fluctuations emanated from it.

"That's it!"

Ning Qi climbed the steps and arrived at the martial arts platform: "The formation that has been suppressing me is not the mountain-protecting formation at all. The real core is actually the formation on this martial arts platform!"

"What kind of formation is this, and why is it set up on the training platform?"

Out of curiosity, Ning Qi took another step forward.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling light screen suddenly erupted from the center of the training ground.

The formation was fully activated and began to operate wildly, instantly enveloping the entire area.

Ning Qi, in particular, was completely enveloped within it.

At this moment, from a distance, he looked as helpless as a child bound by countless waves of light.

"Well!"

Ning Qi let out a miserable scream.

At that moment, he felt all his strength being drained away by the light barrier of the formation.

The power that had just been gathered from the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Vast Realm, and the True Martial Realm was completely devoured.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

Ning Qi gritted his teeth, trying to back out, but it was too late.

The vast immortal power within his body began to be drawn away, and his strength was also being devoured.

The illusory image of the Dao runes behind him, which was in the nascent form of the Great Dao Rune Array Fruit, had also begun to sway precariously.

"how so?"

Ning Qi tried to reactivate the power he had just used, but found that the connection had been lost.

"Pass!"

Ning Qi's legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the martial arts stage.

"What kind of formation is this?!"

Ning Qi felt his strength draining away and gritted his teeth with difficulty.

"Kid, how are you?"

It was at this moment that the voice of the Holy Ancestor came from the direction of the door.

Haizu was also there.

Behind them were Wei Xian and Lin Chen, who had come upon hearing the news.

"Don't come in."

Seeing that several people were about to rush in, Ning Qi quickly reminded everyone.

What's wrong with you?

Are you alright?

"..."

All the people could see was him slumped on the martial arts stage, unaware of what had happened.

He had only rushed over to check on him after hearing his screams.

"There are two formations here that can suppress our power, so you must not come in."

Ning Qi was worried they would come in, so he quickly reminded them.

"If we don't go in, what will you do?"

"Can you get out by yourself?"

"..."

Several people were talking at once, expressing their deep concern.

They could already tell that Ning Qi was not in good condition.

"I'll try it slowly. Damn it, what kind of stone is this? The formation is also very strange."

After responding, Ning Qi slapped the rock he was sitting on forcefully.

"This is... a Chaos Stone?"

At this moment, the Holy Ancestor widened his eyes and exclaimed, "It really is the Chaos Stone!"

"What? A Chaos Stone?"

Upon hearing his words, Hai Zu immediately turned his attention to the rock where Ning Qi was sitting.

"It really is a Chaos Stone, how... is this possible?"

Lin Chen also recognized the stone, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"I never expected that the Chaos Stone, which has long been extinct, would appear here."

"And there's such a big piece."

The Holy Ancestor felt a sudden dryness in his mouth and muttered something.

"What kind of stone is this, and what is it used for?"

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Ning Qi couldn't help but ask.

Its origins can be traced back to the beginning of time.

"And its power is enough to drive all cultivators mad."

Wei Xian looked at the Chaos Stone he was sitting on and then explained, "Legend has it that this Chaos Stone can exert invisible pressure on those who cultivate on it."

“Some people use Chaos Stones, combined with lost formations, to create a space that can put pressure on cultivators.”

"This allows them to cultivate in a space different from the external pressures."

"Those who cultivate here can unleash several times, or even more than ten times, the combat power of their opponents if they fight in ordinary spaces."

"pressure?"

Hearing his explanation, Ning Qi seemed to understand something.

So, this place is a training ground that was deliberately created?

"In addition, Chaos Stone can also be smelted into Chaos Refined Iron."

"It can be used to forge divine weapons. Legend has it that most of the immortal artifacts of immortals are made of Chaos Stone."

Lin Chen picked up where he left off and continued, "This is also why there are almost no immortal artifacts in the world now."

"Since Chaos Stones have become extinct, how can anyone find a place to smelt Chaos Iron?"

"Tsk tsk, kid, you've found a treasure."

"Such a large piece of Chaos Stone must be able to smelt a lot of Chaos Refined Iron."

The Holy Ancestor clicked his tongue and smiled slightly: "We'll find a few master craftsmen to forge a few immortal artifacts, and we won't be afraid even if Haoshan makes a comeback."

"Not for now."

After Ning Qi thought it through, he felt relieved: "There are two formations here, one is a mountain-protecting formation, and the other should be the formation you mentioned that works with the Chaos Stone."

"My power has been almost completely drained by the Chaos Stone and the formation!"

"Oh? Is that so? I'll give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Haizu stepped inside.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a buzzing sound came from the backyard again.

She knelt on the ground almost instantly.

"That's amazing."

Hai Zu exclaimed in surprise, a look of solemnity flashing in his eyes: "The pressure of this formation is too strong. This is definitely not a formation used by ordinary people."

"At least... it should be a training ground for experts at the third rank of True Immortal, or even... possibly a training ground for experts at the level of Celestial Immortal."

"call!"

Ning Qi took a breath and stepped off the training platform with difficulty and a disheveled appearance.

"Whoosh!"

In this way, the power that had just been drawn away instantly returned to the body.

Just as they said.

He now had the strength to move, but he could only take small steps, unable to move with the large strides of normal movement.

“Training under this kind of pressure is not just about improving strength and physical fitness.”

"It enhances our cultivation and enlightenment."

He was the first person to come into contact with this place, so he had more insights: "Hai Zu is right, this is not suitable for our current strength, its suppressive power is too strong."

"What if... we could chip off some of the Chaos Stone?"

"Is it because there are too many Chaos Stones?"

The Holy Lord remained interested in the Chaos Stones and was determined to acquire some.

"Don't touch them for now."

Ning Qi shook his head, then looked at the pavilion behind him: "It's safe now. I'll go check the situation inside."

"Would you like to come in and watch together?"

"No need, but we should study the formation here carefully!"

"Let's determine whether the problem is with the formation or with too many Chaos Stones."

“I feel that we can even replicate these formations and then carve out some Chaos Stones as well.”

"Take it and let others use it for cultivation, to improve everyone's overall strength!"

Hai Zu, on the other hand, was focused on improving their overall strength: "As we said before, if Buzhou Mountain can really attract inheritors, we will encounter these people again in the future."

"Strengthening our overall strength is the only way forward now."

"Alright! Then you all come and study it together!"

"But I don't think we all need to be here!"

"After all, there are still many places to explore here."

Ning Qi did not reject her suggestion, and then continued, "Let's split up, leave a few people here to explore, and the rest of us will continue to explore other places."

"Alright, then I'll go somewhere else!"

Lin Chen was the first to agree.

"I stayed."

The Holy Ancestor was interested in the Chaos Stone and naturally couldn't bear to leave.

"Then let's go, just the two of us."

Hai Zu didn't argue with him, and glanced at Wei Xian beside him.

"Then you'd better be careful."

Wei Xian nodded to her, then reminded everyone.

"Don't worry, you all need to be careful too!"

"As you just saw, Wei Xian is indeed here, and even this kid has fallen victim to his trick."

The Holy Ancestor nodded and used Ning Qi as an example to remind the others.

Then he watched Haizu and Lin Chen leave together.

"Let's go in and give it a try."

Wei Xian was also interested in this place, especially after seeing how Ning Qi had been suppressed here.

They were even more eager to come in and find out what was going on.

If he could be suppressed, what about me?

He was actually quite resentful about losing to him once.

"He really has strength."

The Holy Ancestor had already gone in first.

They were instantly overwhelmed by this pressure.

However, he used a clever trick and grabbed the door frame just before he fell.

Even so, he was still somewhat disheveled.

"You need to use your full power of your cultivation technique to withstand it."

Ning Qi had already left the training ground and headed towards the pavilion.

Wei Xian and the Holy Ancestor went inside one after the other.

Wei Xian and the Holy Ancestor were in similar situations.

The two of them were soon drenched in sweat, but Ning Qi reminded them.

They managed to get inside after exerting all their strength.

The two of them, supporting each other, struggled to reach the Chaos Stone.

They then looked at each other and walked together onto the training platform.

"Well……"

The Holy Lord couldn't wait and went up first, only to encounter the same fate as Ning Qi.

He collapsed onto the edge of the training platform, letting out a scream.

Seeing his miserable state, Wei Xian couldn't help but pull his foot back.

However, in order to experience how powerful this martial arts arena was, I eventually stepped on it anyway.

"call!"

"Waaah!"

His experience was the same as that of the Holy Ancestor and Ning Qi.

The person instantly lost all support.

He collapsed onto the martial arts stage and started playing a human pyramid with the Holy Ancestor.

"Be careful, don't go any further in."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to get out, and I won't be able to save you."

Ning Qi was too lazy to pay them any attention.

Even though I already saw how pathetic he looked, he still came here to try.

They brought it on themselves.

His mind was already focused on this attic.

Who knows what treasures might be hidden in a loft built in such a secluded backyard?

Thinking to myself, I arrived at the door.

However, this time he was extra careful and did not rashly reach out to open the door.

Instead, it first channeled a wisp of immortal and demonic power, shooting it towards the door.

"Whoosh!"

After the bang, the door only shook slightly.

It was not opened.

"With that force, if I had used it outside, this door would probably have been blown away."

"Here, power is restricted; even the door cannot be opened."

Ning Qi shook his head, his eyes suddenly lighting up: "However, it also proves one thing: there are no restrictions on the attic."

"The people here must also know that if someone can break through the mountain-protecting formation, no other formation can stop him."

After thinking it over, Ning Qi took small steps forward again.

He spread his divine sense and explored the attic.

After confirming that the doorway was safe, he reached out and pushed open the wooden door.

"Squeak!"

With a bang, the wooden door was fully opened.

"call."

A musty smell wafted over.

Ning Qi waved his hand, then looked closely.
