Chapter 353: Seizing the Treasure Chest
The third level of the secret realm.
As one restriction after another was breached, all the spiritual herbs within were picked clean.
The entire three-story space was filled with scenes of attacking restrictions. Ning Daoran did not miss such an opportunity. He continued to destroy restrictions one after another and collected all the opportunities contained therein.
The secret realm of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon only opens once every hundred years, so everyone was not polite and left no grass growing wherever they passed.
"Daoist friend Jianjia."
In the distance, Lin Baoping transmitted his voice, "I heard from Master that the greatest opportunity in the third layer of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm is a chance that falls from the sky. When all the restrictions in the third layer are breached, it will trigger certain rules set by the God Transformation Mighty. At that time, the greatest opportunity will fall from the sky. Since you and I are both cultivators from the Xia Kingdom, we should join forces to get the treasure and not give the opportunity to the Sangyu Kingdom in vain."
"I see. I understand."
Ning Daoran nodded. At this time, he had a very good impression of Lin Baoping, one of the ten great saints of the immortal sects. She was remarkable in both her character, appearance and temperament.
Not long after, Ning Daoran's figure disappeared into the night and continued to search for the restrictions hidden in the dark.
"Um?"
Not long after, he suddenly smelled a hint of blood in his nose. In addition, his Jindan consciousness also sensed a very familiar breath.
Sui Xuan?! He felt a chill in his heart. At this moment, Sui Xuan's breath was already very weak.
After a few ups and downs, Ning Daoran fell into a restricted area.
This is an open trap ban, which means that others can enter after the ban is opened, but after entering they will be madly backlashed by the ban.
Inside the restriction, a bloody figure was lying there.
Sui Xuan.
He had been severely injured, his heart was shattered, and his arms and legs had been completely crushed by the restriction. Sui Xuan was now dying, and even his mind was no longer clear.
"Fellow Daoist Sui..."
Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves lightly and cast a few spells, instantly dissolving the restriction.
"you……"
Sui Xuan's breath was weak: "Jian...Jian Jia Sanren...how do you know me?"
"I……"
Ning Daoran frowned, cast a ban to cover everything around him, and instantly restored his true face: "I am Ning Daoran!"
"ah?"
Sui Xuan's heart was shaking wildly, and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "It turns out...it turns out that Ning Daoran is actually the invincible Jindan stage Jianjia Sanren, it turns out...it turns out that Fellow Daoist Ning is so powerful...ahem..."
He kept coughing up blood: "What a pity... What a pity that I..."
Ning Daoran looked towards the center of the restriction. On a stone platform was placed an ancient sword. But when Ning Daoran released a ray of magic power, the ancient sword immediately dissipated with a ripple, but soon reunited again.
It was just a little trick played by a few great masters in the Spirit Transformation Stage to fool people back then, but no one expected that Sui Xuan would die as a result of this little trick.
Ning Daoran frowned and input a strong magical power of the Eternal Green Art, trying to save one or two.
"It's useless... Thank you, fellow Taoist..."
Sui Xuan laughed bitterly and said, "How ridiculous I am... I actually died under such a trick of others. My life's practice and my cultivation at the Jindan stage are just a joke in the eyes of others..."
He looked at the ancient sword illusion beside him and said, "I was thinking... I could bring this back and give it to Zhu Yue to use as a life-defining item, but I didn't expect that..."
Ning Daoran frowned, Sui Xuan was too badly injured, the Eternal Youth Technique was useless, he couldn't be saved.
"Does Brother Sui have any last wishes?"
He asked in a low voice.
"have……"
Sui Xuan raised his head with great effort, and saw the mess of his own shredded hands and legs. He felt even more miserable. He glanced at his waist and said, "This storage bag... contains a colorful flower. Please bring it to Zhuyue..."
"Okay, I'll definitely bring it to you."
"Fellow Daoist Ning..."
Sui Xuan panted heavily: "Do you still remember the appointment I made with you? If...if anything happens to me, please take care of Zhuyue...I can see that Zhuyue has a very good impression of you. If you are willing...you can take her as your concubine. All I ask for...is that she can form a pill, can...can go further than me..."
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist."
Ning Daoran said, "If Sui Zhuyue takes the initiative to ask, I will let you be my maid to protect him for a while. As for the matter of concubine, don't talk about it anymore. Ning will never do such a thing as taking advantage of others' misfortune."
"good……"
Sui Xuan's wish had been fulfilled. With tears in his eyes, he looked at the dark sky and said, "I have cultivated immortality... I have cultivated immortality for hundreds of years, but what I finally got was nothing but a mirage... I, Sui Xuan... am gone..."
As he spoke, this great cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core closed his eyes and left, his breath completely cut off! ...
Ning Daoran slowly stood up and returned to his original appearance as Jianjia Sanren.
He took off Sui Xuan's storage bag, raised his hand and used the Samadhi True Fire to burn it to ashes, then used the power of the Changqing Jue to dig up the ground and buried Sui Xuan's ashes in it.
As for erecting a monument or something like that, there is no need for that.
When a person dies, dust returns to dust, and earth returns to earth. No matter how much you do, it is all in vain.
Soon after, golden light appeared in the distance.
The great opportunity that Lin Baoping mentioned has finally arrived! In the air, a ray of rules spread silently. When Ning Daoran arrived, he saw a huge ice crystal falling from the sky. Inside the ice crystal was a treasure chest glowing with auspicious light, and around the ice crystal were densely covered with ancient restrictions, which looked extremely tricky.
The temperature in the air dropped suddenly, and the surrounding area was instantly covered with white frost, and all things withered.
"Such a strong restriction..."
Lin Baoping frowned, "It's probably difficult to open it with the power of one party alone. I wonder if fellow Taoists from Sangyu Country are willing to work together to break the ban? After breaking the ban, we will look for a way to melt the mysterious ice, and then divide the treasures in the treasure chest together. What do you think?"
On the side of Sangyu Country, there were only two late Jindan stage cultivators left, Old Man Tianya and Madam Ziwei. As for the middle Jindan stage cultivators, they were basically not considered, and Lin Baoping did not take the middle Jindan stage cultivators seriously either.
As for the Xia Kingdom, there are two people in the late Jindan stage, Lin Baoping and Nian Wuya, plus one person, Jianjia Sanren, who must be regarded as a late Jindan stage person.
"It's okay."
Old Man Tianya said, "How should we distribute the treasures after we open them? If fellow Taoists from Xia country show favoritism and randomly distribute the treasures, wouldn't the cultivators from Sangyu country be forced to do the dirty work?"
"How about the one-two-one-two method?"
Ning Daoran said, "Let's first decide on an order. Whoever comes first will be second. After the treasure chest is opened, the first person to choose the treasure will be a cultivator from Xia Country. The second person will definitely be a cultivator from Sangyu Country. The third person will be a cultivator from Xia Country, and the fourth person will be a cultivator from Sangyu Country. This will repeat over and over again. No one will suffer any loss. What do you think?"
"Can."
Madam Ziwei nodded.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"In that case, let's get started."
Old Man Tianya said, "Except for Daoist Fellow Jianjia, all irrelevant people below the late Jindan stage should leave to avoid being killed!"
Everyone was stunned.
Some of the well-known mid-stage Jindan cultivators were a little embarrassed, but Old Man Tianya's words represented the top combat power, so everyone could only withdraw from the third floor one by one.
"Senior sister, we're going out first."
Several female Jindan cultivators from Hibiscus Palace left one after another.
Nian Wuya nodded slightly, and the remaining few Jindan sword cultivators of Wanhua Sword Sect also left one by one.
Soon, there were only four late Jindan masters left on the third floor, plus one Jianjia Sanren.
“Let’s get started!”
Everyone sat cross-legged around the huge ice crystal and began to use their magic power to attack the formation.
It was not until this time that Ning Daoran used his formation skills, casting out spells one after another, using formation techniques to dissolve the restrictions, which for a moment accelerated the speed at which everyone could break the restrictions.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Jianjia is actually a formation master." Old Man Tianya said with a smile.
"It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
Ning Daoran smiled politely. In fact, Old Man Tianya had not witnessed Ning Daoran's fighting skills with his own eyes, otherwise he would have known long ago that Jianjia Sanren was an extremely powerful formation master.
…
Three days passed in a flash.
The restrictions around the black ice became increasingly thinner, and eventually turned into a wisp of dust and dissipated into nothingness.
"This mysterious ice is made from thousand-year-old ice."
After Lin Baoping offered a wisp of his magic power to test it, he said, "Ordinary flames cannot melt it. I wonder if you Taoist friends have any means to break the ice?"
Old Man Tianya showed a look of regret: "It's a pity that Xuanyan Sanren was killed by Daoist Fellow Jianjia, otherwise his Xuanyan Extreme Fire should be able to dissolve this Xuanbing."
"I don't know either, otherwise I wouldn't have killed you." Ning Daoran said dryly.
Lin Baoping looked embarrassed.
Madam Ziwei's face turned slightly pale. She was present when Xuanyan Sanren was killed. She felt a little timid when she thought about how ruthless this seemingly gentle Jianjia Sanren was when killing people.
Unfortunately, Old Man Tianya insisted on staying to find out what the treasure chest was, so I had no choice but to stay.
Ning Daoran has already started a teleconference meeting with Lin Baoping and Nian Wuya.
"I can break the mysterious ice."
He said calmly, "I have practiced a fire-based technique, so dissolving the black ice is definitely not a problem. But after the black ice melts, how can I get the treasure chest as soon as possible? Do you two have any ideas?"
"It won't be a problem to grab the treasure chest."
Lin Baoping said: "I have a wooden dragon rope, which is a third-grade top-grade ancient treasure. The moment the treasure chest appears, I will use the wooden dragon rope to get the treasure chest. After the treasure chest is in hand, the three of us will kill the two people reasonably. How do you think?"
"Can!"
Nian Wuya nodded heavily: "After opening the treasure chest, Daoist Jianjia was the first to choose, Fairy Lin was the second, and I, Nian Wuya, am willing to be ranked third!"
Lin Baoping nodded: "I have no objection."
Ning Daoran said happily: "I have no objection either."
In fact, he had a small question in his mind. Since he wanted to seize the treasure chest before killing the other two, why didn't he do it now? Why did he have to wait until the black ice melted?
However, Lin Baoping and Nian Wuya had already nodded, so he was too lazy to think about the details. It was just a matter of order.
Since the final result has been determined, the order is no longer an issue.
…
"Everyone, I have cultivated a wisp of Dao fire, which may be able to melt the black ice."
Ning Daoran took a step forward and said, "Please step back a bit, I'm going to use my power!"
