The group chatted and laughed as they walked forward.
"By the way, what did you find when you went to explore the other halls?"
Ning Qi walked ahead and suddenly asked.
"Most of them are empty halls, and the things inside are not very useful to us."
"But it's fine for other people to use."
The Holy Lord shook his head and continued, "With our current strength, there are very few who can catch our eye."
He was right; every single person present was a master of the True Immortal level.
All that can be effective against them are powerful weapons.
Many of their previous methods, while effective, have become increasingly sophisticated as their strength has grown.
But they couldn't keep up. The Taoist magic and supernatural powers used by the enemy were all applicable after becoming an immortal.
In comparison, their training methods are like children and adults practicing martial arts.
In a fight, factors such as strength and speed put them far inferior to their enemies.
Wei Xian also sighed: "Yes, when we went to a few side halls, the situation was similar to what he said."
"We did find some remnants of alchemy furnaces and cauldrons, but unfortunately they have been stored away for who knows how long and are no longer of any use."
"A few of us went to a treasure vault we found underground in the south, but it was empty. What a disappointment."
Lin Chen listened from the side and shook his head as well.
"However, compared to those treasures, the Chaos Stone on this martial arts arena is our greatest gain."
"If we could get a few pieces back and forge some magic weapons, that would be better than anything else."
Haizu took it all in stride, so this can be considered a gain.
"The golden lotus glow that appeared earlier was probably a sign of the appearance of this Chaos Stone."
"Now I understand, the Chaos Stone is the most valuable one."
The Holy Lord nodded in deep agreement and stopped sighing.
Contentment brings happiness.
"That's right!"
Hai Zu readily agreed and quickly added, "With these Chaos Stones, we can not only use them for cultivation, but also forge a batch of weapons and armor."
"If we can incorporate our own Daoist principles into the forging process, we might actually be able to create a few divine weapons. At that time, our strength will be greatly enhanced."
"The Chaos Stone was indeed untouchable before, because the core of the formation was connected to it, and forcibly using it would likely have a backlash."
"But you can use it as you please now. I have completely mastered this formation. Mining Chaos Stone will no longer have any effect on it."
Ning Qi listened to their discussion and chimed in.
"real?"
Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Are you kidding me? Can this Chaos Stone really be used?"
"certainly."
Ning Qi nodded firmly, then looked somewhat serious: "However, even though there are many Chaos Stones, we cannot waste them."
"These Chaos Stones are a key material for setting up the formation. When you mine them, just leave me half."
"Keep half?"
Wei Xian was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Ning, what are you doing keeping so many Chaos Stones? Do you intend to set up another large formation like this elsewhere?"
Ning Qi smiled mysteriously and said frankly, "It's not just one. I want to try using these Chaos Stones as a base, combined with the formations I've comprehended, to protect our entire True Martial Spirit Realm!"
"What?"
"Protect the entire True Martial Spirit Realm!"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord and the other three, including Wei Xian, stopped simultaneously.
His face was filled with disbelief.
Compared to a courtyard, a realm is worlds apart.
That's just wishful thinking.
"Are you kidding me? Setting up a protective array that covers the entire sect is already very difficult."
"What's more, it covers an entire realm! This is no joke!"
Wei Xian stared wide-eyed, his expression full of doubt.
After all, the world is so vast that trying to completely protect it with an array is simply a pipe dream.
The Holy Lord also frowned and began to persuade him: "This matter is of utmost importance. The resources consumed by an array that covers an entire realm are astronomical."
"This is not impossible. The formation I have deciphered today can induce spatial pressure. Its mystery lies in the refraction and enhancement of the Daoist charm of the water ripple pattern."
"Using Chaos Stone as a base, it's not necessarily impossible to succeed."
Ning Qi looked at everyone with a confident expression: "Once successful, the entire True Martial Spirit Realm will be under the protection of the formation."
"Even in the Boundary Sea, we can use the power of the formation to offset a large part of the impact."
"Not to mention defending against foreign invasion; once they come in, they will have to endure pressure far beyond what is reasonable."
"But we can thrive in it."
"This formation is incredibly powerful! No wonder it's an ancient teleportation point!"
Haizu listened to his explanation and couldn't help but admire him.
"That's right, that's really impressive."
Ning Qi nodded and then said, "I have already grasped the secret."
"Therefore, the Chaos Stone is of utmost importance to me."
"With these, my plan may not be impossible."
"If that's really the case, then our True Martial Spirit Realm will be as solid as a rock!"
"It's just that we won't be able to rely on the pressure of this training platform to cultivate anymore."
Lin Chen first praised him, then showed a hint of disappointment.
Originally, they planned to use the array formed by this Chaos Stone for cultivation.
"That's easy."
Ning Qi shook his head and said with a smile, "I've already figured out this formation. All I need is some Chaos Stones and a suitable cultivation spot around our mountain gate, where I can rearrange the formation."
"At that time, everyone can cultivate inside, and the effect will only be better than the current martial arts arena."
"That's great!"
Lin Chen clapped his hands, immediately revealing a relaxed expression.
The Holy Lord and Wei Xian exchanged a glance, both looking equally excited.
This training under pressure is crucial for them.
If Buzhou Mountain can attract one group of people, it can attract a second group.
It's only a matter of time.
The Holy Lord came to his senses and turned to Ning Qi: "If you can really do it, we will definitely support you with all our might."
"Just tell me what resources you need, or how you need our cooperation."
"We must build this sacred cultivation ground as soon as possible."
"What the Holy Lord says is absolutely right. This will quickly improve our overall strength."
Wei Xian nodded, also looking forward to it.
"Since everyone's saying so, how can I fall behind!"
Haizu smiled and expressed no objection to the matter.
"With the strong support of all my fellow Daoists, I am even more confident."
"Tonight, let's have a few drinks in this ancient hall."
Ning Qi looked at everyone and laughed heartily.
"Then let's celebrate!"
"That suits me perfectly."
"Let's go! Let's go for a drink!"
"..."
Everyone agreed immediately and then headed ahead.
The group quickly arrived at the ancient temple where they had first come from.
Someone had already found a spacious side hall, which had been cleaned.
Before long, a banquet was set up.
Most of them were spiritual fruits and spiritual wines that everyone carried with them.
At their level of strength, delicacies are of little use.
These spiritual fruits and wines are not as useful.
Ning Qi sat in the main seat.
The Holy Lord and several others sat on either side.
After a few rounds of drinks, the group started chatting again.
Ning Qi put down the spirit cup in his hand and said with a smile, "Although we have obtained such a treasure as the Chaos Stone, the crisis in the True Martial Spirit Realm has not been completely resolved."
"With constant turmoil in the border seas, we need more support to avoid being eliminated."
"yes."
"..."
Several people agreed.
"This Buzhou Mountain was once a guiding point. It is said that many people passed through here and left behind their treasures and cultivation techniques."
"But we didn't find it on our mountain."
As Wei Xian drank, he sighed, "It seems we weren't destined for this opportunity."
“Fellow Daoist Wei, you are also an owner of the Buzhou Mountain fragments.”
"Do you have any way to find the owners of the other fragments?"
"If we can combine these fragments, perhaps we can reveal the place where Buzhou Mountain originally stored its treasures."
"At that time, our opportunities will be limitless."
Ning Qi heard Wei Xian mention that there was a treasure on Mount Buzhou.
I immediately became interested.
Upon hearing this, Wei Xian first put down his wine cup.
“Fragments of Buzhou Mountain are scattered throughout the Boundary Sea, and there are many of them.”
"What we possess are among the larger pieces, and each piece contains a different lineage."
Wei Xian paused for a moment before saying, "My inheritance is indeed slightly inferior. As for finding other fragment owners, that is indeed a difficult problem."
"Unless the distance is extremely close, or it is intentionally activated, it cannot be sensed."
"We now possess three fragments of Buzhou Mountain."
"If we join forces to activate it, the commotion will definitely attract the attention of other owners!"
Lin Chen put down the spirit cup in his hand and said with a smile, "I have heard that Mount Buzhou contains the fortune of heaven and earth."
"If we work together to unleash its power... then our place will be like a beacon in the darkness."
"It will definitely attract other people who have the fragments to come to us on their own."
"At that time, we only need to wait and wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump, and we can reunite Buzhou Mountain into one."
"Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord shook his head: "This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Didn't you consider that if we attract too many people, or people far stronger than us, aren't we putting ourselves in danger?"
"At that time, we will not be able to protect ourselves."
Haizu, however, was interested in this.
That's not how you say it.
"I believe that fortune favors the bold."
"Fellow Daoist Lin's idea seems feasible!"
He looked at the crowd with burning eyes: "So what if there are a lot of people here? It's perfect for us to practice on these people!"
"With the help of the Chaos Stone Array of the Realm Lord, what do we have to fear?"
"It's also a good opportunity to let everyone see that our True Martial Spirit Realm is no longer what it used to be."
"However, this..."
Wei Xian hesitated for a moment, but hadn't thought of a suitable way to persuade him.
Ning Qi kept looking at everyone.
“What Haizu said is absolutely right.”
Amidst the debate, someone finally spoke up: "This is indeed risky, but it's not something that can't be tried."
"Not all those who come are enemies. If someone wants to befriend us, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble."
"Yes, this method is definitely feasible."
Seeing that Ning Qi was interested, Lin Chen immediately perked up.
"There are quite a few old monsters hiding in the Boundary Sea."
The Holy Lord still had some concerns.
"If we join forces, we might be able to give a try to create a formation by the Lord of the Realms."
Hai Zu always stood by Ning Qi's side.
Wei Xian nodded and said with a smile, "I think we can give it a try."
"Let's take a look at our strength."
"Alright! Then it's settled."
"We still need to carefully consider how to proceed."
"Right now, I'll try to integrate this formation into the entire realm."
Ning Qi clapped his hands, then raised his glass: "Come on, to our True Martial Spirit Realm, cheers!"
"cheers!"
"..."
Everyone raised their glasses.
"Then we can continue to study the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities."
"I'll leave the matter of the formation to the Realm Lord."
Hai Zu downed a drink and turned his gaze to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi put down his wine glass and smiled frankly: "Leave the formation to me, but this matter still needs further consideration."
"The most urgent task is for everyone to stabilize their cultivation level and prepare for the subsequent weapon forging."
"That's right, with the Lord of the Realm in charge, there won't be any problems."
The Holy Lord nodded and then spoke.
Wei Xian put down his spirit cup and echoed, "We only need to cooperate fully."
"Fellow Daoist Wei, this is the confidence we have gained since you joined us."
Haizu raised the spirit cup and toasted with him.
"It's all fate that brought us together."
Wei Xian picked up the spirit cup again.
After several rounds of drinks, the night grew darker.
"Let's end the banquet here. We have other matters to attend to, and we'll discuss them again tomorrow."
Ning Qi glanced at the sky and spoke to the others.
"good."
The Holy Lord was the first to respond: "Then let's all go home."
"Then we'll take our leave."
Wei Xian and the others stood up and said goodbye to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi smiled and nodded, then stood up as well.
As the Holy Lord and his companions departed...
Ning Qi left the ancient hall and headed towards the martial arts arena of the Chaos Stone.
Before long, they returned to the training ground.
Ning Qi did not break the formation.
Without the slightest hesitation, he walked directly to the central area of the martial arts arena.
"Buzz!"
Almost the instant he landed, the entire training ground began to shake.
The formation was triggered instantly.
Spatial pressure was squeezing Ning Qi from all directions.
The pressure wasn't just on his physical body; even his soul was being squeezed.
"Bang!"
Ning Qi felt as if his legs were filled with molten lead.
His legs buckled, and he collapsed heavily to his knees on the martial arts stage.
The bones in his body made a popping sound like popping beans under this pressure.
"call."
"Such intense pressure!"
Ning Qi exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, he even had difficulty breathing.
"Hmph, you think you can defeat me?"
Ning Qi snorted coldly and gritted his teeth.
He braced himself with both hands on the ground, using all his strength to try and sit up.
"rise!"
With a roar, all the muscles in his body tensed up.
Feeling the pressure, I continued to exert myself.
"The water ripples, the pressure of space, and the enhancement of the formation are indeed interesting."
"As expected of an ancient formation created by our predecessors, I have already deciphered its secrets."
"This is no problem for me."
A glint flashed in Ning Qi's eyes, and he muttered to himself.
At this moment, he completely relaxed and felt the oppressive force of the space.
And at that moment, his body was no longer under such immense pressure. (End of Chapter)
