Chapter 221

Peak ninth layer!

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt he was stronger than ever before.

When he was at the eighth layer, he carried out frantic purification, making the alien qi in his body disappear completely and laying a solid foundation.

Now at the ninth layer, he found that the purification of his Three Treasures cultivation still needed to be carried out.

His cultivation improved too fast and needed to be consolidated.

In this regard, he had to slow down.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the woodcutter. Otherwise, haste makes waste!

"While refining and purifying the ninth-layer magic power, I need to find the method for Foundation Establishment. There should be one in the Lava Xian Gong!"

According to Unlike Ning Zhuo's speculation, after he pushes open the third Buddha gate and clears the three barriers, the Foundation Establishment method should be there.

"Having the Foundation Establishment method alone doesn't seem enough; I see in books that many people seek Foundation Establishment items to increase the success probability as much as possible."

Not everyone can succeed in Foundation Establishment.

And for someone like Unlike Ning Zhuo, who cultivates three dantian simultaneously, the difficulty of Foundation Establishment is far beyond the ordinary.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not have much certainty.

Most of his confidence came from the Three Sects Ascendant.

According to Unlike Ning Zhuo's thoughts, since the Three Sects Ascendant left these three techniques, he wouldn't have conceived immature techniques specifically to harm future generations.

"According to his temperament, he should have left many auxiliary items for Foundation Establishment as rewards."

Unlike Ning Zhuo had already arranged for the purification of the ninth-layer magic power.

Previously, when he was at the eighth layer of cultivation, he didn't use up the number of times for the Profound Ice Pure Snow Talisman, keeping it to prepare for the ninth layer.

"Plus the Pure One Elixir, the array, the Clear Source Treasure Mirror, and the Tornado Car, the purification and refining of magic power will be completed very soon!"

Preparing for Foundation Establishment, forging a Golden Core-level mechanical ape, and exploring the Lava Xian Gong were the three major things placed before Unlike Ning Zhuo.

After thinking for a while, he decided to place the next focus on exploring the Xian Gong!

The reason was simple.

Whether it was Foundation Establishment or forging a Golden Core-level mechanical ape, these two things, relying solely on Unlike Ning Zhuo, would have low results.

If there were gains from exploring the Xian Gong, it would greatly promote these two things.

He raised layers of floating clouds to cover himself and then entered the Xian Gong with his soul.

By now, even if he entered the palace alone and was discovered, he would not be highly suspected.

However, this time, after he entered the Xian Gong, he did not find anyone else.

This was also one of the purposes of Unlike Ning Zhuo's active sale of subsequent techniques before!

Almost everyone was cultivating crazily, striving to ascend to the peak of the sixth layer as soon as possible to push open the second Dao gate.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was alone, clearing more than a dozen stages in a row.

The entire Xian Gong was empty, as if time had flowed back to when he first explored the Xian Gong.

When he came to the third transit hall, he chose the third Buddha gate without hesitation and pushed it open.

Dragon Rock Xian Gong, main hall.

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo push open the Buddha gate, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was so surprised that it fell off the throne and landed on the floor tiles with a thud.

It never expected that Unlike Ning Zhuo had actually cultivated to the level of the peak ninth layer.

How could he be so fast?!

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit fell into extreme shock.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit did not observe this secret.

Since Unlike Ning Zhuo used the Floating Cloud Scarf to cover himself, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's observation of him had consciously weakened a lot.

Its insight ability came from the Lava Xian Gong and was very domineering, capable of piercing through floating clouds to see Unlike Ning Zhuo's true situation.

But doing so would consume the floating clouds drastically and make Unlike Ning Zhuo alert.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit did not want to be so simple and crude; it was very worried that Unlike Ning Zhuo, this little monster, would discover its existence because of this.

Therefore, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit only truly learned of Unlike Ning Zhuo's true cultivation at this moment.

However, what shocked it was yet to come!

After Unlike Ning Zhuo pushed open the third Buddha gate and entered the first stage, he found that the process of clearing the stage was cumbersome and time-consuming.

Thus, Unlike Ning Zhuo used the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to withdraw from the stage directly and returned to the transit hall.

He continued from the transit hall and pushed open the third Dao gate and the third Demon gate in succession.

The difficulty of the stage behind the Dao gate was very high, and Unlike Ning Zhuo did not have confidence for a moment.

And the first room of the Demon gate was a special stage.

Cultivators clearing the stage could pass through layers of tests by performing the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Technique and eventually exchange for Blood Path boards of different qualities.

After comprehensive consideration, Unlike Ning Zhuo still returned to the path of the Buddha gate.

From beginning to end, this path was still the most suitable for him!

Peak ninth layer of Essence Sea!

Peak ninth layer of Qi Sea!

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo enter and exit the three gates as easily as drinking water, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was shocked to the point of complete numbness!

"What exactly happened to Unlike Ning Zhuo?"

"Could it be the previous dual cultivation?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had paid attention to the battle at the underground base.

The ghost fog vortex at that time did not completely cover its insight.

However, even though the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit knew that Unlike Ning Zhuo had interacted with the Golden Core-level Yang Chanyu.

But the degree of Unlike Ning Zhuo's cultivation progress at this moment was indeed a bit abnormal.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was an insider; it knew the detailed content of the Three Sects Ascendant Method.

The Three Sects Ascendant Method, from the seventh layer to the ninth layer, pursued a vigorous accumulation of magic power. The degree of cultivation accumulation was three times that of the early and middle stages combined!

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Yang Chanyu had produced Two Instruments Qi, but this process did not last long.

"Why was the effect so good?"

"Is it because of Unlike Ning Zhuo's talent, or because Yang Chanyu was actually doing dual cultivation for the first time?"

However, these speculations were no longer that important.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit fell into a panic.

It climbed up and paced anxiously in the main hall.

The results it had painstakingly accumulated over so many years were almost destroyed in recent times!

A large number of cultivators with mechanical attainments entered the Xian Gong, working crazily for the Lava Xian Gong, and the contributions accumulated became more and more.

Zhu Xuanji even retrieved the damaged Mechanical Demon General.

You have to know that in the beginning, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit tried countless times and spent so much thought just to let the Mechanical Demon General be left outside!

The fear in the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's heart grew day by day.

It craved freedom and wanted to control its own spirit life.

But as of now, its hope of breaking free from the shackles and cage and regaining freedom was becoming smaller and smaller.

It let out an unwilling roar and raised its head to spit out sky-high flames.

The Lava Xian Gong rioted again!

The various mechanical cultivators in the Xian Gong immediately faced danger.

The vast fire-attribute power collided everywhere, the massive magma formed tides, counter-impacting the Lava Xian Gong, and the startled Red Flame Spirit Beasts appeared around the Lava Xian Gong again.

Even Golden Core-level cultivators had to go all out at this moment to protect themselves and maintain their lives.

"Come on, come and hit me!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit craved Lord Meng Kui to make a move against it, and it roared repeatedly in its heart.

And Lord Meng Kui sat in the depths of the smoke and clouds, quietly overlooking the riot in the Xian Gong.

He did not make a move immediately.

It was not until many mechanical cultivators in the Xian Gong suffered heavy casualties that he began to suppress the Lava Xian Gong with the help of the Xiancheng Array of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

He could not hear the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's shouting and still followed his past style of handling things, maintaining the current situation and striving for stability!

"Lord Meng Kui, you idiot!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was so angry it kept spitting fire.

While others were cultivating and practicing subsequent techniques crazily, Unlike Ning Zhuo went all out to clear the stages.

Third Buddha gate, first stage.

The teleportation light ball spat out a broken kung fu puppet onto the workbench.

The countdown began.

The invisible barrier in front of Unlike Ning Zhuo disappeared; he stepped forward, stood at the workbench, and immediately started to examine the kung fu puppet.

"Array cracks inside the chest, leg joints stuck, right arm missing." Unlike Ning Zhuo summarized in his heart and then asked himself, "How to repair it?"

There were many ways to repair it, but the tools and materials on the workbench were very limited.

That's right.

The first stage of the third Buddha gate tested the trial disciple's repair ability.

The stage-clearer would face mechanical creations with different damage situations and must repair them within a limited time using limited materials and tools.

This was already the twelfth mechanical creation Unlike Ning Zhuo had repaired in a row.

"The provided materials allow me to make an arm to fill the missing part of the kung fu puppet."

"I should try my best to imitate its intact left arm for imitation."

"No, that's not right."

"This might be a trap! I should first examine the internal array."

Unlike Ning Zhuo took out the mechanical tool Array Sound Hammer.

He was cautious, using the hammer head to tap the puppet's chest lightly.

Every time he tapped, he withdrew the hammer head, stopped in mid-air, and listened quietly to the crisp sound made by the hammer head.

The sound entered his ears, and in his mind, thoughts arose one after another, stirred by the sound, condensing rapidly into a corner of the array.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's repeated tapping made the array diagram in his mind gradually complete.

From the complete array diagram, he soon discovered the missing and damaged parts. At the same time, he also judged the type of the array.

"It really is a trap!"

"This array integrates the puppet's limbs. The puppet has a left arm, but the right limb is a drill."

If Unlike Ning Zhuo imitated the left arm and forged the right arm directly, he would undoubtedly step into the trap and fail this question.

"Therefore, the Three Sects Ascendant wants to warn us that repairing mechanical creations cannot be based on preconceptions. Making judgments by oneself first is wrong, and one should conduct sufficient investigation and observation."

Unlike Ning Zhuo realized the painstaking efforts of the Three Sects Ascendant.

After repairing the kung fu puppet, he successfully entered the next question.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo repaired thirty-three mechanical creations in a row, he entered the second stage.

Roar!

A living Fire-Melting Demon Ape appeared in front of him, giving Unlike Ning Zhuo a little fright.

He soon discovered that this Fire-Melting Demon Ape was injured; it could only stand on one leg.

Unlike Ning Zhuo identified carefully: "Oh, so it took an arrow in the knee."

The explanation of the stage reached his mind along with the Human Life Thread.

Unlike Ning Zhuo understood: the second stage was to let him make a move on a living creature, make mechanical prosthetic limbs, and benefit life with deficiencies!

The difficulty of the second stage was much greater than the first stage.

Unlike Ning Zhuo failed several times, checked classics many times outside, and even used a portion of building gold in the Full Book Building to exchange for some relevant mechanical blueprints and improve his own ability before he finally cleared the stage.

The third stage of the Buddha gate was even more difficult.

Unlike Ning Zhuo could not control the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, and could only let it fight freely. Unlike Ning Zhuo acted as the repair personnel after every fierce battle.

However, in the process of clearing the stage, he could accommodate the spirit beasts and mechanical puppets defeated by Yuan Dasheng, repair them, and then use them to assist Yuan Dasheng in battle.

Unlike Ning Zhuo struggled at every step, stumbling through every small stage and winning thrillingly.

Yuan Dasheng was full of spirituality, but the stage difficulty was too high! Unlike Ning Zhuo went all out, racking his brains to accommodate, repair, and add auxiliary combat power for it.

Combat damage was too high!

Often the combat power accommodated in the first battle was all consumed by the second battle.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's best result was once fixed at the fifth small stage.

Until he had a flash of inspiration and discovered the right path to clear the stage.

It turned out that although he could not participate in the battle and could not directly control these machines or spirit beasts, he could still use his repair tools during the battle.

"The Three Sects Ascendant wants to train and assess our ability to repair machines in fierce battles."

After realizing this, Unlike Ning Zhuo's record rose steadily.

It reached the thirty-third stage, and the difficulty was ridiculously high.

Unlike Ning Zhuo went all out, but he couldn't maintain the repairs. The auxiliary combat power he had painstakingly accumulated was soon drowned by the huge enemy group, and there was no opportunity for Unlike Ning Zhuo to find time to repair during the battle.

After failing three times, Unlike Ning Zhuo arrived at the thirty-third small stage for the fourth time.

He made up his mind and did not withdraw the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng.

Yuan Dasheng, according to Unlike Ning Zhuo's instructions before the battle, fiercely activated the Immortal Talent—Righteous Bone Gold Firm!

The Immortal Talent was activated, making it peerless.

It killed the huge number of opponents with the power of one ape.

Yuan Dasheng was unrecognizable, paid a heavy price, and pushed Unlike Ning Zhuo to clear the third stage.

Just as Unlike Ning Zhuo guessed, he pushed open the gate of the third stage and arrived at the end of this trial path!

The Foundation Establishment method was conveyed to his mind, and other rewards were placed before him.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's voice was extremely weak and reached Unlike Ning Zhuo's ears: "Little, little spirit pays respects to the master."
