True Martial Spirit Realm.
On the square of the Alchemy Palace.
The Holy Ancestor and several others were gathered together, discussing something.
"We haven't heard from him for several days. Is there something wrong?"
Hai Zu couldn't contain himself and analyzed the situation with a few people, saying, "Why don't I go look for him and give him some backup?"
"Don't go for now. If he's being watched, and we go to contact him, wouldn't that just be sending him for nothing?"
The Holy Ancestor shook his head and sighed, "He's a lucky man, he'll be fine!"
"All we need to do is wait patiently for him to come back and not cause him any trouble."
"I feel that Fellow Daoist Ning should be alright as well."
“His strength is evident to all, and he also possesses the Ruoshui Three Thousand Formation.”
"If there is any real problem, I will definitely leave safely."
Wei Xian still trusted Ning Qi quite a bit.
After all, he had fought Ning Qi before, and Ning Qi had shown that he was far superior to others of the same realm in both Daoist techniques and immortal power.
"If all else fails, we can just go there!"
“I’ll go with Haizu and see if we can find any trace of him.”
"Ask what happened and then come back. Just don't have any contact with him!"
Lin Chen looked at everyone and also made a suggestion.
He was also uneasy because he hadn't heard from Ning Qi for several days.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have gone so long without contacting everyone.
Something unusual must be going on.
"Alright then, since everyone wants to go, we can't let you go."
"I'll go with Fellow Daoist Wei!"
"Hai Zu and Fellow Daoist Lin, you two stay here."
Seeing that Lin Chen also said so, the Holy Ancestor thought about it seriously and said.
His strength is relatively stronger than Wei Xian's, so they should definitely act together.
"Alright then, you can go ahead!"
"If there are any real problems, then we'll go for it!"
Haizu nodded after hearing his words: "I heard him mention it when I contacted him before."
"They led these people to the Eastern Region, near the Blackwater Zone of the Boundary Sea."
"Yes, I asked him too, and Fellow Daoist Wei and I started looking in that direction."
"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off now!"
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Wei Xian no longer objected and agreed directly.
"Take care, everyone!"
Lin Chen then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two of them.
"Don't be so down, we'll be back soon!"
The Holy Ancestor laughed loudly, then waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Wei, let's go!"
"good!"
After Wei Xian agreed, he and the Holy Ancestor flew away together.
The two of them vanished into thin air in an instant.
...
The Fifteenth District of the Boundary Sea, the Blackwater Region of the Eastern Area.
Within 100 kilometers of the fog zone.
Ning Qi's flying boat was still hovering in the void above the Boundary Sea, and the surroundings were still pitch black.
Only his flying boat was flashing with red light.
This is not the red glow of immortal or demonic power, but the red light of burning flames.
At this moment, the surrounding black water began to boil from the steam.
After being atomized again, it condensed back into black water.
Ning Qi remained seated cross-legged on the flying boat, and the rotting flesh on his body was no longer visible.
Upon closer inspection, they had all fallen onto the deck of the airship, which still emitted a stench of decay.
They all emanated from Ning Qi's side.
"Now! Swallow the elixir!"
Seeing that Ning Qi's whole body was starting to burn with flames, Yao Ling quickly reminded Ning Qi.
"good!"
Ning Qi's hoarse voice came through, and then he waved his hand.
"call out!"
The elixir came to his lips, and he swallowed it in one gulp.
After the elixir was swallowed, the raging flames within Ning Qi's body were instantly suppressed.
These flames began to burn incessantly within his body, consuming the elixir.
"I see!"
Ning Qi also sensed the elixir being refined by the flames and immediately understood what was happening.
"Brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"This elixir can only be refined by the blazing flames of the Crimson Lotus, combined with the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique!"
"The three of them complement each other and are indispensable."
"While you were refining them, the divine poison within your body was nothing more than an ant."
"On the second day of your cultivation of the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique, the divine poison was completely refined!"
Yao Ling said smugly to Ning Qi, "Now that you've caught the raging flames of the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique and refined the elixir, there are two benefits to it."
"First, the fiery attribute of the Crimson Lotus will be permanently imprisoned within your body by your Crimson Fire Immortal Technique, becoming deeply ingrained."
"Secondly, the Blazing Flames have only just been refined and controlled by you and have not yet submitted to you. Even without your control, they will still come to refine this elixir."
"That is precisely why the elixir will consume the raging flames within your body, ultimately making them work for you."
"Okay! Let's go!"
After listening to Yao Ling's words, Ning Qi began to let the flames within his body refine the elixir on their own.
This process was no longer so painful for him.
These past two days, while cultivating the immortal technique, I've also been refining the divine poison and enduring the ravages of the Crimson Lotus's flames.
It caused him immense suffering, but it also made Ning Qi indifferent to the torment he was enduring.
Compared to the previous two days, this is nothing.
And so, time continued to flow.
Two days later, the red glow on Ning Qi's body had dissipated.
Instead, it turned his entire body into a bronze color.
Like cast steel, his muscle lines became more defined.
Especially when it opened its eyes, streaks of red light flashed.
A beam of light burst forth from within.
"call!"
Ning Qi finally moved, reaching out with both hands.
Observe the changes in yourself.
"Is this the power of the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique?"
Ning Qi looked inward at his dantian and body and found that his internal condition had undergone tremendous changes.
After his body was tempered by Ruoshui Sanqian's pressure, his body had already undergone a qualitative breakthrough.
This time, after being tempered by the Crimson Lotus and the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique, his physique became even stronger.
His entire being, from the inside out, was like a piece of chaotic stone.
It gives people a feeling of being so powerful as to be indestructible.
"If it weren't for the boundless evil energy protecting me, I probably wouldn't have succeeded so easily."
Ning Qi waved his hand, and a sinister aura shimmering with black light appeared in his palm.
At the very center of this evil aura, a flicker of crimson flame danced.
With Ning Qi's control, the crimson flames instantly began to flare up.
Like a child, it throbbed excitedly in his palm.
Evil energy merges with crimson flames.
His previous strength was already invincible within the True Immortal Realm.
So what about now?
My cultivation system is different from theirs, so I can't compare my strength to theirs.
However, if I were to encounter Dao Bujin again, would I be forced to run all over the world for my life?
Ning Qi's eyes flickered as he looked back at the path he had come from.
It was still pitch black here, but the difference was that he could vaguely see through the black water in front of him with his own eyesight.
"Brother, once you master the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique, you can see through all illusions."
"This little bit of black water won't block your view at all."
The spirit of medicine manipulated his elixir, leaped onto Ning Qi's shoulder, and said to Ning Qi, "You can go back from here!"
"Oh? You can see through it?"
Ning Qi turned his head and looked at the medicinal spirit on his shoulder.
"Yes, it can be seen through."
"Isn't this the way we came from?"
Yao Ling nodded and pointed to the road ahead: "And I can also sense that someone is waiting for you up ahead."
"Are we going back from here?"
"No."
Ning Qi shook his head: "I went through all this trouble just to lure them here."
“If I go back like this, even if I escape, they will still be able to track me down.”
"Instead of doing that, let them think I'm right here!"
"Huh? What do we do then?"
"We can't go too far, can we?"
Upon hearing his words, Yao Ling looked back and said, "If we continue forward from here, there will be twisted monsters."
"Moreover, the black water is becoming increasingly thick and heavy, and with your current strength, you simply cannot stop it."
"We don't need to keep going in."
"This place spans both District 15 and District 14. Can't I just walk sideways and head towards District 14?"
Ning Qi pointed in a direction and said with a smile, "Go this way, and then I'll go back around."
"It will be very convenient to travel through wormholes then."
"Oh! You scared me."
"I thought you were going inside!"
Yao Ling breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his explanation.
"If it were before, I wouldn't have dared to walk like this!"
"However, I am now cultivating the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique and will be safe within the area of 100 Immortal Miles."
Ning Qi looked ahead and then said, "Let's go, let these idiots wait here."
"They will give up sooner or later, and then I will have achieved my goal."
"good!"
Even if Yao Ling doesn't agree, there's nothing she can do.
He was just a weak medicinal spirit; without Ning Qi's protection, he could only wait to die.
It's only a matter of time before they are corroded by this black water.
Therefore, we have no choice but to obey his every word.
Ning Qi continued to maneuver his flying boat forward, heading towards the fourteenth district.
Even after he left, Dao Bujin, outside the Blackwater District, still had a furrowed brow.
"Palace Master, it's been almost ten days. Is there any need for us to wait any longer?"
"Yes, he's probably still dead inside!"
"..."
Several guards came over and asked them questions.
They've already wasted quite a bit of time here.
There's no need for us to stay any longer.
Anyone who has survived in here for so long has probably been corrupted by the twisted monsters.
"Let's go, I can no longer feel his presence."
After experiencing countless feelings, he sighed.
He then waved his hand, ordering his troops to begin their retreat.
"yes!"
"..."
The guards, who had been itching to get going, immediately took off in their flying boats as soon as he gave the order.
After so many days of waiting, I'm finally free.
After the flying boat turned around, Dao Bujin still turned his head to look back at the black water area behind him.
His brows were still furrowed, and he always felt that Ning Qi was still alive.
However, this is the Blackwater region, and he has been inside for so long, and he has also been poisoned by his own divine poison.
How could he possibly be alive?
After a moment of reflection, I stopped thinking about it.
Sitting on the deck, he let his men control the airship to return along the same route.
This time, he lost half of his men.
Several airships were lost, but there were still some gains.
At least this person who despised the Immortal Selection Pavilion has been driven to his death.
This matter is now considered closed.
Several days after they left, another spaceship arrived outside the turbulent area of the meteorite.
There were two people on the deck, Wei Xian and the Holy Ancestor.
"Strange, he disappeared after we got here."
The Holy Ancestor frowned as he looked at the scene.
"Look, there are signs of a fight!"
Wei Xian pointed to the meteorite area ahead and quickly maneuvered their flying boat to speed over.
You can see that some of these meteorites have been covered with formations.
"The Three Thousand Formations of Ruoshui!"
The Holy Lord recognized Ning Qi's formation at a glance, and a look of worry immediately appeared on his face. He began to search for traces around him.
However, apart from the damaged airship and a faint smell of blood, nothing else was found.
"We've tried contacting him by voice for the past two days, but he hasn't replied."
"Could something really have happened?"
Looking at the battlefield ahead, Wei Xian also began to worry.
"Yes, it's been twenty days, and there's still no news!"
The same applies to the Holy Ancestor; if someone hasn't been heard from for so long, something must have happened.
Upon arriving at the battlefield and witnessing the horrific scene, the two became even more uneasy.
"call!"
"We have news!"
At this moment, Wei Xian suddenly exclaimed and quickly took out his communication jade pendant.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, Ning Qi's illusory figure appeared directly in front of the two of them.
"Hey kid, where have you been?! We were all so worried!"
Upon seeing Ning Qi, the Holy Ancestor immediately inquired about his whereabouts.
His face was full of worry.
"We were chased into the Blackwater region, where communication is no longer effective!"
Ning Qi's illusory body swayed, revealing a look of relief: "So I've been fleeing along the Blackwater area towards District Fourteen."
"After speeding around here for several days, we've finally come out. Where are you all? This doesn't look like the True Martial Realm!"
"We are in a meteorite turbulence zone in the blackwater and gray fog areas."
"There are many broken meteorites and the formations you set up here. You fought them here before, didn't you?"
Wei Xian waved the communication jade pendant around here to show Ning Qi the situation.
"That's right, this is the place. Have all the people from the Immortal Selection Pavilion left?"
"You guys need to be careful, don't let them target you!"
After Ning Qi agreed, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but show a worried expression.
"No, don't worry, we've already scouted the area. There are only the two of us within a radius of several hundred miles!"
The Holy Lord smiled, then asked, "You just said you've arrived in the Fourteenth Region? Can you return to our True Martial Spirit Realm now?"
"Yes, but wait a bit. I'll be heading back to the Blackwater region after I contact you in the Gray Fog area!"
Ning Qi nodded, and then continued.
"Huh? Why do we have to go back?"
"It's very dangerous inside!"
Wei Xian looked at Ning Qi, puzzled, and hurriedly reminded him, "Let's find a wormhole to teleport back." (End of Chapter)
