Chapter 198: Clearing and Returning [Thanks to Alliance Leader Jingjing Meng]

The saber light ball broke through the sky-filling ice arrows and approached in the blink of an eye.

A huge flood dragon claw rolled with a monstrous pitch-black giant wave and slapped down at the saber light ball.

The pitch-black giant wave emitted a bone-chilling cold aura, heavy as a mountain, and as the flood dragon claw fell, it collapsed like a mountain, pressing down from above.

The saber light ball suddenly gathered toward the center, turning into a giant saber, slashing forward with rainbow-like momentum.

The giant wave was broken from the middle and rolled back to both sides.

"Clang!"

The giant saber was like a broken bamboo, splitting the giant wave and slashing heavily onto the flood dragon claw.

One person and one flood dragon engaged in close combat.

But the strength of the two sides was somewhat different.

The amount of Jin Dan liquid in Xia Daoming's hand was not much, just a part of the Jin Dan liquid left by a Jin Dan late-stage cultivator who reversed his cultivation art.

One item was a token made of unknown material, with a very ancient character and simple pattern on it.

The third floor was already the top floor.

Jin Dan late-stage cultivators were even fewer.

But from then on, the path to Jin Dan was cut off.

Jin Dan late-stage cultivators, thinking of the path of cultivation for their descendants, did not hesitate to endure some pain before dying, reversing their cultivation art, turning the Jin Dan into gold liquid, and taking it out to leave for their descendants.

The second item was a bottle.

At the Qi Refinement perfection realm, taking a small amount of this liquid can not only successfully reach Foundation Establishment, but the foundation established will be thick and solid, not comparable to ordinary cultivators.

Jin Dan liquid cannot be obtained just by killing Jin Dan cultivators.

Two items were placed on the stone platform.

"No way, that's it?"

Xia Daoming walked up the steps.

As soon as the bottle cap was opened, the room was filled with golden light, fragrance overflowed, and an aura so powerful that even Xia Daoming couldn't help but feel terrified emanated.

Xia Daoming looked disappointed and frustrated, complaining repeatedly.

Only a very small number of Jin Dan late-stage cultivators are willing to accept their fate and wait for their lifespan to end naturally.

Jin Dan cultivators are killed, the Jin Dan breaks, and the energy returns to heaven and earth.

As a result, looking at this, Xia Daoming found that there were no more stairs ahead.

"If you can't afford the prizes, it doesn't matter; I can do without the prizes!"

Xia Daoming couldn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuation from this token.

The vast majority of Jin Dan late-stage cultivators died on the path of striving for the Nascent Soul.

Having cleared the levels all the way, Xia Daoming was now looking forward to a battle with a Foundation Establishment perfection monster beast or even a False Jin Dan level monster beast.

From this point of view, Jin Dan liquid can be said to be a super Foundation Establishment pill.

It's just that Jin Dan cultivators are few.

Jin Dan is formed by cultivators taking in heaven and earth energy to cultivate.

Xia Daoming had no choice but to helplessly check his gains.

If a person with high talent reaches Foundation Establishment, once they use Jin Dan liquid to reach Foundation Establishment, they might be able to cross levels to fight Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

But no matter how much he complained, the place where the stairs should have been was still a solid stone wall.

Jin Dan late-stage cultivators who are nearing their limit and do not fight hard, but are willing to wait for death, are even fewer.

"Could, could it be... Jin Dan liquid!" Xia Daoming suddenly thought of something legendary he had heard people talk about in the Changqing City marketplace, and couldn't help but be shaken to his core, his hand holding the bottle trembling.

Besides this, Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators taking this gold liquid can use this liquid as the core to gather true essence and forcibly form a False Jin Dan, extending their lifespan to five hundred years.

"What is this thing? It actually has such a powerful aura!" Xia Daoming looked at the golden liquid in the bottle, his heart shaken, a look of contemplation in his eyes.

This time, Xia Daoming didn't rush to check his gains, but looked toward the stairwell of the fourth floor to see if there were any Foundation Establishment perfection monster beasts guarding it.

Jin Dan liquid, as the name suggests, is the gold liquid turned from Jin Dan.

"Only Foundation Establishment late-stage, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Jin Dan late-stage cultivators, the Jin Dan is almost mature, but they can never take that step of breaking the Dan to form the Nascent Soul.

After a few strikes, the Nether Water Flood Dragon was slashed to death, and the pitch-black water that submerged the stairs disappeared along with it.

Therefore, Jin Dan liquid is extremely rare, almost legendary.

But there is one exception.

The final limit arrives.

"This wouldn't just be a simple token, would it? What's the use of giving me this?" Xia Daoming was speechless, but still put the token away.

The path of Jin Dan cannot be achieved by the Jin Dan of others, but False Jin Dan can.

But even so, the value is immeasurable.

"Good stuff! Good stuff! It's a pity why there isn't a next level; I could have continued!" Xia Daoming looked at the Jin Dan liquid in his hand, so happy, but when he thought that clearing the level stopped here, he felt indescribable regret and pity.

The third level was already Jin Dan liquid; if there was a fourth level, one could imagine how amazing the prizes would be.

"Why did it stop at the third level? Why did it stop at the third level?" Xia Daoming muttered and pondered unwillingly.

"What a fool I am for a moment! This is a promotion level for Qi Refinement cultivators. I'm afraid that even in an ancient great sect, it's already the limit for a Qi Refinement cultivator to be so awesome as to defeat a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator; setting up a fourth level later would have no meaning at all." Soon, Xia Daoming figured out the reason.

"Sigh, this can't be blamed on them; where would they have thought that there would be such an heaven-defying awesome person like me in this world!" After figuring it out, Xia Daoming boasted to himself while putting the Jin Dan liquid into his storage ring.

But soon, happiness turned to sorrow.

Xia Daoming remembered that he had already cleared the level, but he was still in the giant tower and hadn't been sent back to the original trial ground.

"Since they teleported me here, they should teleport me back!" Xia Daoming muttered to himself, and ran downstairs out of the giant tower.

The abyss around the stone pillar where the giant tower was located was still rolling with clouds and mist, unable to see any scenery clearly.

Xia Daoming's expression changed slightly.

He thought that after walking out of the giant tower, the teleportation should happen.

But it didn't happen.

"By the way, two hours, the time is still very early, very early!" Xia Daoming suppressed the unease in his heart, comforting himself while looking around.

However, apart from clouds and mist, he still couldn't see anything around him.

Xia Daoming didn't dare to step into the clouds and mist easily.

The trial ground left by this ancient great sect is unpredictable, far from what his current strength can easily risk, touching areas that shouldn't be touched.

"People really shouldn't float! Reality gave me a stick immediately!" A bitter smile appeared on Xia Daoming's face, and he simply sat on the ground, waiting for the two hours to arrive.

He estimated that at most two incense sticks of time had passed.

One hour is four incense sticks, he still had to wait for the time of six incense sticks to know if his speculation was right or wrong.

If it was right, naturally it would be fine.

If it was wrong...

Xia Daoming looked at the rolling thick fog not far away with a bitter smile.

I'm afraid I'll have to...

Just as Xia Daoming had a bad thought in his heart, he suddenly found that the space around him had a slight distortion ripple.

Then, Xia Daoming found that the scenery before his eyes had changed.

He was back on the original vast flat land.

"Phew, scared me to death! It turns out the reaction was just a bit slow!" Xia Daoming looked at the familiar scene and let out a long sigh of relief.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Xia Daoming looked around, searching for Seeing Seeing Lu Ziying's figure.

However, the flat land was vast, the range of sight was limited, and he couldn't see Seeing Seeing Lu Ziying's wide and sturdy back.

Xia Daoming had no choice but to step on the Wind-Chasing Boots, running quickly while looking around for her.

This flat land was at most a hundred miles in radius; at Xia Daoming's speed, he could run through this flat land very quickly.

Xia Daoming naturally wouldn't go against spirit stones.

While running, he would still pick up the wealth he saw along the way.

This time, he was indeed picking them up.

Because the speed was too fast, the monster beasts guarding the opportunities hadn't reacted yet, and the opportunities they guarded had already been taken by Xia Daoming.

As a result, after one incense stick of time.

Before finding anyone, Xia Daoming had actually picked up spirit stones worth ten thousand.

"Is this a bit too much? Should I leave some for others?" Xia Daoming suddenly stopped, his conscience discovered.

But just after his conscience discovered, Xia Daoming saw Mo Ru Jun and Mo Shouxiang thirty zhang away, trying to collect a Flame Heart Stone worth nearly a hundred.

The two cooperated tacitly, their magic treasures were of good grade, their offensive was powerful, and looking at the situation, they should soon be able to repel the guardian monster beast and collect the Flame Heart Stone.

"Opportunities still have to be seized by ability; if you don't have the ability, you can't blame others." A smile appeared on the corner of Xia Daoming's mouth.

Then he took a cloak from his storage ring and covered his whole body.

Then, both feet erupted with strength and magic power.

The Wind-Chasing Boots glowed.

A residual image swept across the ground, swept across the gaps between the guardian monster beasts, and swept across the Flame Heart Stone, becoming a black dot in the blink of an eye.

"Flame Heart Stone!" Mo Ru Jun's eyes widened, looking at the empty ground, unable to believe it.

"What was that monster beast just now? The speed was extremely fast, I only saw a residual image." Mo Shouxiang was shocked.

"Ah, it took the Flame Heart Stone! How could this be?" Mo Ru Jun was crying without tears; this Flame Heart Stone was almost in her hands.

"Forget it, let's find another one! Fortunately, that monster beast didn't attack us, otherwise our lives would already be gone." Mo Shouxiang's expression changed from shock to lingering fear.

Hearing this, Mo Ru Jun remembered that the secret realm is not a constant search and collection of opportunities; it is said that unexpected dangers appeared in previous years, and there were casualties.

"Seventh Brother is right, right, let's look around again." Mo Ru Jun nodded repeatedly, her face turning pale.

However, next, the two were terrified to find that every time they made a discovery, a ghostly figure would take the opportunity away in front of them.

"Seventh Brother, that, that monster beast seems to be staring at us!" Mo Ru Jun's face was pale, her voice trembling.

"Should, should we not move first and see the situation before talking." Mo Shouxiang's face was also pale, his heart trembling.

In the distance, Xia Daoming saw Mo Shouxiang and Mo Ru Jun suddenly stay in place without moving, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Forget it, for Elder Mo's sake, I won't tease you."

Xia Daoming muttered to himself, and his person had already disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

Xia Daoming continued to run and fly while picking up wealth along the way.

Soon, Xia Daoming saw three people surrounding a tall and sturdy figure.

Xia Daoming's expression sank slightly, and he flew forward without hiding his tracks at all.
