Chapter 163

After the two geniuses of the Zhou family recovered from their injuries, they couldn't wait to form a joint team of the three families to explore the Lava Xian Gong together.

The three families obviously did not find out the true situation of the City Lord's Mansion. Before setting off, they were still fantasizing that once they encountered the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, again, they would gather everyone's strength to deal with Yuan Dasheng!

As a result, the joint team of the three families struck with heavy fists and repeated the mistakes of the City Lord's Mansion. More than twenty Qi refining cultivators were all soul-devoured, allowing Unlike Ning Zhuo to have a good time absorbing!

Unlike Ning Zhuo came to the third checkpoint of the Buddha Gate, repeatedly entering and exiting, his wanton and arrogant posture making the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's fists harden, smashing its fists against the throne repeatedly.

The Illusory Truth Lotus Seed was his only option.

The embryonic form of the Life-Hanging Thread divine ability surged again; the lotus leaf that used to be the size of a palm expanded fiercely, becoming the size of a washbasin, green and jade-like.

At Sun Lingtong's active request, Unlike Ning Zhuo also planted the Life-Hanging Thread on the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai.

In this way, even if Sun Lingtong's soul returned to his physical body and he was not in the trial checkpoint of the Lava Xian Gong, he could still leave Qi Bai behind for Unlike Ning Zhuo to control.

"Qi Bai's spirituality has been depleted by eighteen percent." Unlike Ning Zhuo felt it was a pity.

The greatest price paid by the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, for participating in the battle and devouring others' souls was the loss of spirituality.

Without reaching ten percent, spirituality cannot be self-sufficient, which means it cannot recover.

But Unlike Ning Zhuo tried multiple methods and had not yet figured out a way to increase its spirituality.

"Look on the bright side, little brother!" In this regard, Sun Lingtong was more free and easy.

"I think this deal is very worth it!"

"Consuming some spirituality can eventually be exchanged for you to absorb Illusory Truth Lotus Seeds faster and more, and pull up the Life-Hanging Thread divine ability."

"This is a big profit."

"So, even if all the spirituality is consumed, doing so is worth it."

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed, knowing that Sun Lingtong's words made a lot of sense. But he had always loved mechanical creations and didn't want to see the "death" of the mechanical Qi Bai from the bottom of his heart.

For the next ten days or so, Unlike Ning Zhuo rarely obtained a period of peaceful cultivation time.

Meng Kui still sat on the top of the mountain, sealing off the surroundings, but he could not stop Zhu Xuanji from leading the Golden Cores of the three families.

Zhu Xuanji knew the urgency of the matter, and since he discovered that the Lava Xian Gong was weak, he put the case investigation aside. He frequently entered the Xian Gong, investigating everywhere while increasing his own contribution.

After the City Lord's Mansion recovered, they charged twice under the leadership of Meng Chong.

The modification team of the three families reorganized, and after the second comprehensive failure under the pincer attack of the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, and the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, they decisively gave up the idea of a collective action.

According to their speculation, the Lava Xian Gong had a mechanism to adjust the difficulty of the checkpoints in time according to the specific strength of the challengers.

Therefore, as long as they acted alone or in groups of two or three, they would not encounter the two perversely strong mechanical creations, Yuan Dasheng and Qi Bai.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did as they thought, greatly reducing the appearances of Yuan Dasheng and Qi Bai.

On one hand, Qi Bai's spirituality, after these rounds of large-scale soul-devouring, had dropped to below ten percent. Although Sun Lingtong didn't care, Unlike Ning Zhuo still decided to preserve the spark of spirituality.

As for the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, it was not without battle damage. Currently, Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanical attainments could not truly repair it; at most, he could apply patches, and its overall mechanical combat power was actually constantly declining.

On the other hand, Unlike Ning Zhuo did not want to make the three families or the City Lord's Mansion side lose confidence completely.

He needed to give these people some hope, prompting them to have the motivation to continue moving forward and the motivation to constantly increase resource support.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's own cultivation could have such progress, and the various cultivation resources given by the three families had brought him huge help.

With the help of the soul essence returned by Qi Bai, Unlike Ning Zhuo's soul foundation had once again grown tremendously.

Compared to when he hadn't encountered Han Ming, there was an increase of more than 150 times!

This allowed Unlike Ning Zhuo's soul power to be far ahead in the Qi refining stage, and also allowed him to use the power of my Buddha Heart Demon Seal more times in succession, helping himself to frantically select rewards.

Illusory Truth Lotus Seeds... were all selected by him.

The embryonic form of the Life-Hanging Thread divine ability also changed its appearance. In Unlike Ning Zhuo's Divine Sea Dantian, above its jade-like lotus leaf, it carried a pink-white lotus bud. The bud was full, giving people a feeling of fullness that was about to bloom.

"It's just a little bit away from perfection."

"No, it's still a long way off..."

The embryonic form of the divine ability brought Unlike Ning Zhuo a contradictory cognition.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong discussed it, and after guessing, the two felt: the embryonic form of the divine ability was already very close to perfection! But this last step, although it seemed very small, was extremely critical. The difficulty of crossing it was very high; if it couldn't be crossed, it couldn't undergo a qualitative change and reach the state of ten percent perfection.

Just like the ten percent spirituality before.

Therefore, it was only a little bit away from the perfection of the divine ability, and also a long way off.

"Why not have a few more Illusory Truth Lotus Seeds?" Sun Lingtong felt it was a pity.

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I think the last step must be crossed by the cultivator alone."

He was not guessing randomly but had a basis.

Unlike Ning Zhuo: "The last dozen or so Illusory Truth Lotus Seeds absorbed had very little help for the embryonic form of the divine ability. The growth range of the embryonic form of the divine ability was not big at all, and the benefit from the Illusory Truth Lotus Seeds was indeed getting less and less."

Sun Lingtong pondered for a moment, nodded, and recognized Unlike Ning Zhuo's speculation.

But what to do next?

How to make the divine ability perfect?

Sun and Ning discussed for a long time, but neither had a reliable guess.

The top of the volcano, deep in the clouds and mist.

Meng Kui invited Zhu Xuanji to have a talk.

"Lord Zhu, rumors are gradually rising, and the wind is not stopping."

"Although I sit here all day, I can't stop the news from spreading further and further."

"Recently, more and more foreign cultivators have entered the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng. There is even news that the Soul-Devouring Sect and the Empty Gate have dispatched true disciples."

"The Taiqing Palace and the Zixiao Pavilion have also sent visiting cards, using the excuse of striking the demonic path to want to dispatch true disciples into the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng."

"Under such circumstances, relying solely on my personal sitting, I am afraid it will be difficult to be comprehensive. I hope Lord Zhu will join me in submitting a memorial and ask the imperial court to dispatch reinforcements!"

Zhu Xuanji looked at Meng Kui deeply. He also saw the evolution of the situation during this period, and he nodded slightly: "Good, I will join you in submitting a memorial."

Early stage of the sixth layer of Qi refining.

Mid stage of the sixth layer of Essence Refinement.

Peak of the sixth layer of Spirit Refinement!

Unlike Ning Zhuo ended a day of hard cultivation and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

In more than ten days, his cultivation had made huge progress again.

Generally speaking, when reaching the middle stage of the Qi refining period, the cultivation speed will become much slower than in the early stage.

But the three techniques arranged by the Three Sects Master all have advantages in cultivation speed.

As long as the resources are sufficient.

And Unlike Ning Zhuo's resource sources are from all aspects, really very abundant.

His strongest is still the Divine Sea cultivation, climbing all the way, and the progress has never slowed down, reaching the peak of the sixth layer.

At this step, Unlike Ning Zhuo could finally push the door and move forward again.

"It's time to show off my extraordinary mechanical talent again." Holding such a thought, Unlike Ning Zhuo called Ning Chen and Ning Yong.
