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

Chapter 632 Forbidden Land Trap

Ning Qi turned his head to look and saw more than a dozen dark figures appear in the blood pool.

These shadowy figures are different from the monsters we saw before.

They were wearing armor, and each of them looked fierce.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed over to Ning Qi's side.

"call."

Ning Qi dodged and slashed down with the Chaos Sword.

"when."

However, the Chaos Sword, which could cut through iron like mud, failed to break through the defense this time.

Only a sword mark remained on his shoulder.

"Shh."

However, Ning Qi was already at the Golden Immortal level.

Despite his imposing presence, he still managed to send the monster flying.

"boom!"

"Snapped."

However, other monsters have already attacked.

Ning Qi swung his sword in retaliation, forcing them all to retreat.

His speed and strength allowed him to easily overwhelm these monsters, surprising them as well.

They clearly hadn't expected there to be such a strong person here.

"Hmph, trying to teach a fish to swim."

Ning Qi snorted coldly, and then activated his Dharma Body.

The power of the Golden Immortal was unleashed.

In the blink of an eye, the blood around him was suddenly evaporated, creating a bloodless area around him.

The immense power within him was unleashed, causing the surrounding area to surge continuously.

"Master, well done."

Yao Ling clapped and cheered.

His eyes were filled with excitement.

He clearly didn't know that Ning Qi could suppress the monsters here so easily.

"Roar."

The monsters, provoked, roared in response.

They charged at Ning Qi again, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, determined to tear him to pieces.

However, Ning Qi was not afraid of this at all.

He just sneered and rushed in again.

"Shh!"

"puff!"

This time, he was well-prepared to face the monsters' attacks with ease.

In a short while, all the monsters were killed.

After they were killed, they turned into wisps of blood mist and disappeared into the void.

Ning Qi coldly swept his gaze around; the monster from the previous attack had also been affected.

Countless people died or were injured, and those who remained no longer had the courage to fight back.

Ning Qi immediately swooped down and arrived in front of the barrier.

He raised the Chaos Sword high, and his Dharma Body, after being activated, suddenly fell.

This time, he held back with his Chaos Sword, directly shattering the barrier below.

An altar below was revealed.

The altar is also protected by a light barrier.

After landing, Ning Qi arrived at the altar and simply walked forward casually.

The light barrier was no match for his attack.

With just a wave of his hand, he shattered the last barrier of light.

Ning Qi looked at the altar in front of him and leaped up.

After arriving at the altar, I looked at the situation there.

“Master, this is like a sacrifice.”

Looking at the situation, Yao Ling couldn't help but say, "I wonder what they're sacrificing."

"It must be related to this blood pool."

Ning Qi looked around, then walked around the area.

He soon discovered that there were some characters here that he couldn't understand.

So Chong Yaoling beckoned: "Come and take a look at this."

"it is good."

After Yao Ling agreed, she came over immediately.

I carefully read the records here.

"How about it?"

Ning Qi waited for him to look for a while, then came over and asked.

“Master, this is a sacrifice, I was right.”

"They sacrificed the cultivators they captured from the outside world."

"This blood is the power of their bloodline, and through this blood, their puppets are born."

"It's called a puppet, but it's more like an extraterrestrial creature."

Yao Ling began to explain seriously: "These puppets are called Spirit Eaters. They cannot devour each other, but if one of their kind is killed, they can merge with each other."

"These are the ones we saw last night; their strength will surge after they merge."

"Then why were they chasing after a group of people? And why didn't they come out during the day? Is there any record of that?"

Ning Qi then asked.

“Master, they dislike sunlight unless all their food spirits merge into one.”

"Then, you will become a fully-fledged physique and will no longer fear any environment."

Yao Ling continued, "There are two reasons why they keep chasing after people."

"The first goal is to assimilate them into our ranks, and the second is to hope to encounter a master who can kill their comrades."

"In this way, they can accelerate their integration."

"I see."

Ning Qi finally understood: "In other words, this is a cruel process."

"Then, we can understand why things are the way they are here."

"Yes, it must have been the person who arranged the sacrifice who wiped out an entire sect."

"At the same time, they also used these food spirits to wipe out everyone from all the other sects here."

Yao Ling nodded and said in a deep voice, "And these monsters here are the ferocious beasts guarding this place; they are sentient beings."

"They will only back down once they realize how strong we are."

"If it were the food spirits at night, they would be even more excited knowing how powerful we are."

"Now that we know what's going on, there's nothing left to pursue."

"Let's leave. There's no need to waste time here."

Ning Qi was somewhat disappointed and was about to leave.

"Master, what if we refine these food spirits and turn them into our puppets?"

Yao Ling suddenly thought of something and said, "In that case, we can have one more combatant."

"Oh, that's not easy to do."

Ning Qi was quite interested after hearing what he said, but he was still a little worried.

“Master, we originally thought they had a lot.”

"Now we know they don't have many; their numbers are limited."

"Then why don't we just bring them all to our inner world?"

"Then Shi Xiaokun can control the power of origin and kill them all."

Yao Ling suggested, "Let's fuse them into one in the end, and refine it before it takes shape."

"Then aren't we just picking other people's fruit?"

"Your idea is not bad."

Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile, "Then let's retreat first, and we'll make our move again tonight."

"Yes, this altar can be destroyed."

"The altar is also controlling them, and I feel that this altar can establish a connection with the person who set it up."

Yao Ling pointed to the altar below and said, "If we are discovered, they will probably come looking for us."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. Don't forget, I am Lei Shan now."

Ning Qi didn't care at all, and then continued, "Besides, they may not be observing the situation here all the time."

"Our disruption has actually attracted them here."

"Let's just keep them here and collect all the food spirits. They probably won't even know who did it."

"That's right, let's go then."

Yao Ling thought for a moment and immediately understood what was going on.

"it is good."

After agreeing, Ning Qi turned and retreated. In the blink of an eye, he had already leaped out of the blood pool.

They quickly returned to shore.

"How about it?"

Xu Wanrou was waiting there, and when she saw him come out, she quickly went up to him and asked.

"Let's retreat first. I already know what these monsters are."

"We'll deal with them tonight."

Ning Qi smiled and walked away.

"Nighttime? That's when they're most active. Coming here at that time is suicide."

Xu Wanrou quickly reminded them, "They'll be easier to deal with when it's light."

"I know."

Ning Qi turned to look at her: "I know why they're chasing you."

"It might be related to us trespassing on their forbidden territory; I feel it's some kind of curse."

Xu Wanrou sighed softly, a helpless look on her face: "If I had known this place was so eerie, I would never have brought everyone in."

"Oh, there's a forbidden area here?"

Ning Qi became interested immediately after hearing what she said.

Forbidden areas usually contain treasures, so it's worth a visit.

"Yes, it's a pity that they attacked us as soon as we went in."

“If we hadn’t run fast, they would have killed us all.”

"However, strangely enough, they weren't strong at first, but after we killed some of them, they became stronger and stronger."

Xu Wanrou nodded, looking puzzled: "So, I feel this is more like a forbidden technique in the eyes."

Where are their forbidden areas?

Ning Qi didn't take her words to heart; instead, he was more concerned about where this forbidden area was.

"It's right behind the mountain."

Xu Wanrou pointed in a direction behind her and said, "There are more and stronger monsters there."

"Oh? I suppose it's because there are many people going to the forbidden area, and therefore the most killings."

"This is equivalent to feeding them."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi seemed to realize something.

"feed?"

Xu Wanrou was unaware of this, and upon hearing his words, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Yes, your killings will only make them stronger."

"And they hunt you down only so that you can kill them, if you are no match for them."

"Then you will be devoured by them."

Ning Qi said simply.

"There's such a thing? No wonder they've been chasing us."

"In other words, whether we kill them or they kill us, they benefit!"

Xu Wanrou finally understood what was going on.

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with what you're saying."

Ning Qi nodded and continued, "And they are merely the condensation of the bloodline power of humans and spirit beasts."

“They can merge into the void and keep chasing you.”

“As soon as it gets dark, they will solidify and come out to hunt you down.”

"I see."

Xu Wanrou sighed: "But even if we knew, it wouldn't make a difference. They are too powerful."

"Just like you said, the more we kill, the stronger they become."

"That's right, you could say that."

Ning Qi nodded and couldn't help but smile: "However, this is just you guys. I have ways to deal with them."

"Do you have a solution?"

Xu Wanrou looked at Ning Qi and then realized why he hadn't left.

"Alright, come with me."

"I promise you won't be killed if you stay with me."

Ning Qi didn't explain, but instead invited her to join him.

"it is good!"

Xu Wanrou readily agreed.

Although he didn't know what Ning Qi was going to do, he did save him.

Especially last night, he brought himself into his inner world.

To have access to the inner realm, one would need at least the strength of a ninth-grade Golden Immortal. Following Ning Qi is the safest option.

After she agreed, she followed Ning Qi directly inside.

After they reached the summit, they saw the view of the back mountain.

Towering ancient trees are everywhere here.

The land below was covered in mud mixed with blood.

The sunlight couldn't penetrate here, and a pungent smell of blood wafted through the air.

It makes one want to vomit.

"This is it."

Xu Wanrou pointed ahead and said in a deep voice, "The entrance over there is their forbidden area."

“We were unaware of it at first, and that’s how we went.”

"By the time we arrived, we had no chance to take any action."

"We were attacked by these monsters, and in the end we made a wasted trip and even lost some people."

"Hmm, do you want to come with me, or do you want to find a safe place?"

Ning Qi pointed to the sky: "It won't be long before it gets dark."

"It's no longer safe."

"I'll go with you."

Xu Wanrou chose to go with him.

It's unsafe to look anywhere here.

Only being with Ning Qi is the safest thing to do.

"Okay, let's go!"

Ning Qi didn't waste any more words and led her down the path.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the scenery became clearer.

There were corpses everywhere, clearly people who had been drawn here by the forbidden area.

"Master, do you think it's possible that this forbidden area is deliberately luring people here?"

The spirit medicine couldn't help but analyze within his dantian.

"That's also a possibility."

Ning Qi replied, "However, we should still go and see what the situation is like. What if there are any resources available? We might miss out."

"Yes, I feel that they had the same idea, which is why they came here to take the risk."

Yao Ling said in deep agreement.

Ning Qi ignored him completely.

Continue walking deeper into the area.

When he and Xu Wanrou reached the dense forest, they immediately felt a series of strong fluctuations in qi and blood.

It's obvious that the hidden food spirits here are influencing him.

"Such an obvious smell of blood, didn't you notice it when you came over?"

Ning Qi asked curiously.

Logically speaking, we should have stopped here.

"We noticed it too, but we feel there must be resources in this forbidden area."

"So, I thought I'd take the risk and give it a try."

Xu Wanrou sighed, "I never imagined that this place would become our grave."

"This is caused by greed."

Ning Qi then said, "But I am different from you. I am here to subdue the food spirits here."

"Food Spirit?"

Xu Wanrou seemed to have thought of something after hearing his words.

"Oh, you don't know yet? These monsters are food spirits."

Ning Qi nodded and explained.

“I have seen an introduction to this food spirit in our family’s ancient books.”

"I never expected that the monsters here would all be food spirits!"

Xu Wanrou then realized what was going on.

"It's too late to say anything now."

As Ning Qi walked forward, he said, "If you want to leave, you still have time. If they ambush you later, I might not be able to protect you." (End of Chapter)
