As a result, Ning Zhuo's words hit Tie Zheng's weakest point in his heart, and the persuasion was successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining three cultivators faced Ning Zhuo, who still had combat power, and immediately fell into an awkward situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fight or not fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three cultivators all showed hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo took a deep breath, mobilized his spiritual sense, and the several Profound Armored Shells beside him circled and flew slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze long whip whipped, making a loud sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sound woke up the three cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them sighed: \"Well, since even a Golden Core like Tie Zheng has admitted defeat, then I will admit defeat too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His statement immediately drew glares from the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he was teleported out of the field, the remaining two had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I admit defeat! Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo is indeed more skillful.\" The second person also threw down the weapon in his hand and was teleported out of the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last cultivator held the kitchen knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still refining it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alas, what a pity!\" He looked at the kitchen knife with regret, finally threw it down, bowed to Ning Zhuo, and also publicly admitted defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this karst cave, only Ning Zhuo stood proudly, and Profound Armored Shells were scattered all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eleven, twelve—sixteen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators of the Profound Armor Cave counted and confirmed the number of Profound Armored Shells in the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because only Ning Zhuo was left and no one competed, these Profound Armored Shells were all counted as his results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Top spot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Zhuo is the top spot of this Cloud-Rising Trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another top spot has appeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew, I didn't expect this result. At the beginning, I thought he would be eliminated soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among all the top spots, Ning Zhuo will be one of the cultivators who leaves the deepest impression on me. Haha, the intelligence about him will definitely sell for a good price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator surnamed Hao listened to everyone's discussion, but did not have a relaxed mood. He glanced at the surrounding cultivators, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: \"Although the Cloud-Rising Trial is over, it is not over yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the cliff, the sea of clouds surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Ban Ji nor Ban Jie had the mood to taste tea. The mountain wind blew, stirring their hair and clothes, only making them feel irritable and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because the latest intelligence had just been delivered to the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Zhuo actually became the final winner? And the top spot?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tie Zheng, this Golden Core trash, actually took the initiative to admit defeat!\" Ban Ji's face was full of gloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Ban Jie with sharp eyes, mixed with anger and hatred: \"Why did you divide the manpower you buried this time into two waves? If all of them were dispatched at once, it is very likely that the final result would be very different!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie sighed and gave Ban Ji a white look, thinking: \"If you don't control the strength of the help, how can you temper and stimulate your Wang Ming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was just a thought in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, she explained: \"If all the manpower were dispatched, it is very likely that you would become the target of public criticism!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Golden Cores and Ning Zhuo and others would eliminate you first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji was not so easily persuaded: \"Of course, I wouldn't show my cards at the beginning and fight with all my might. The real good timing should be when Tie Zheng just eliminated Lu Zeng and Ao Pan. Why didn't you launch with all your might?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie sneered: \"Don't forget, before the Golden Core cultivators decided the winner, you and the Rust Disaster Craftsman had already been forced into a disadvantage by Ning Zhuo and others. I started the ambush, which was also a last resort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, she continued: \"There is one more point. If all the manpower were dispatched, how would outsiders view my Ban family? Even if you are the top spot, it is winning without martial virtue. By then, not to mention others, Ning Zhuo would definitely make a big fuss about this point. My clan would be very passive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji's breathing became rough, his hands clenched into fists, and veins popped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of violence arose in his heart, and he secretly gritted his teeth: \"It's reputation again! Always worrying about everything, not refreshing at all. Ah ah ah! I really want to ignore everything, directly take the troops to sweep and push, defeat all Ning Zhuo, Tie Zheng, and others, and step them under my feet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie didn't understand his heart, and seeing Ban Ji's expression was not good, she had to persuade him tactfully: \"We received great financial support from the family for this trial, and there were nearly ten people in ambush. It's just that from the beginning, we fell into Ning Zhuo's rhythm, and were forced to launch the ambush again and again, making the various hard-prepared preparations have very low gains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is one more point, which caused us to reap the bitter fruit of failure. That is, Ning Zhuo actually had a seventh Profound Armored Shell! But the insider we bribed was kept in the dark. This brought a serious misjudgment to our side!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had known earlier that Ning Zhuo had a seventh weapon, Ban Jie would have brought Ning Zhuo along when she secretly provoked the Golden Core cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji recalled, emitting strands of killing intent: \"This kid Ning Zhuo is cunning!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Always hiding the bronze whip, and only taking it out at the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji was stunned for a moment, thinking of Ning Zhuo's bronze shield, his eyes twitched: \"Could it be that this kid lost his shield, and it was also him taking the initiative to show weakness to the enemy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie saw that under her persuasion, Ban Ji's emotions had stabilized, and he had successfully shifted his attention to Ning Zhuo, and said calmly: \"It is very possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the intelligence, although he occupied the upper hand at the end, he used words to persuade Tie Zheng to surrender.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie stroked the cracked teacup in her hand, her expression solemn: \"Ban Ji, this person is different from the cultivators you often deal with in the past. Not to mention his talent, just this means of negotiation is enough to show his insight and grasp of human nature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is not so easy to deal with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji said impatiently: \"Do you still need to say that? He is my human tribulation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you still staying here? Drinking mountain wind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was near the Profound Armor Cave, and Ban Ji tasted failure here, and learned that Ning Zhuo won, surpassing him again, which made him not want to stay here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie sighed: \"You leave first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have to clean up the mess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bribed quite a few cultivators of the Profound Armor Cave this time, otherwise the intelligence would not have been transmitted so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She helped Ban Ji and activated the ambush, but the strength was too great, and she had offended the Profound Armor Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, she needed to apologize quickly and go to ease the relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji hummed and left directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie's face was ugly, she put away the tea set and cups, dismissed her subordinates, and flew to the Profound Armor Cave alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This operation could be considered a big defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji's Wang Ming was not stimulated, nor did he win the top spot, and his relationship with the Profound Armor Cave had dropped a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human tribulation, is this the human tribulation of Wang Ming?\" Ban Jie looked at Ning Zhuo again, at least ten times more cautiously than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pivot Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator surnamed Hao knelt on the ground and finished reporting the detailed situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also very self-aware. Realizing that the superiors would definitely investigate, as soon as the Cloud-Rising Trial ended, he took the initiative to come to the Pivot Cave to confess and plead guilty to the superiors: he had accepted some bribes from the Ban family, but did not expect the Ban family to act like this. But after realizing something was wrong, he immediately took measures to disguise and cover up Ning Zhuo's subsequent performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The superior cultivator listened to his statement, snorted coldly, scolded the cultivator surnamed Hao a few times, and was about to let it go lightly, when his expression suddenly changed, and he received a spiritual sense transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The superior cultivator immediately looked solemn, sat upright, and said to the cultivator surnamed Hao with an indifferent tone: \"You kneel first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is an imperial decree from the God Above, proclaiming Ning Zhuo to have an audience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What punishment you will have, let's see what the God Above decides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator surnamed Hao exclaimed: \"How could such a small matter alarm the God Above?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The superior shook his head slowly: \"The God Above is unfathomable, and every move has deep meaning. How can we subordinates speculate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the Pivot Cave, a bronze armor was enshrined all year round, which was the body of the Nine-Fold Profound Armored Shell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden within the armor was a god named Young Master Qingwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu was checking Ning Zhuo's intelligence. From the beginning of Ning Zhuo's participation in the Profound Armor Cave's Cloud-Rising Trial until the end, when he became the only winner and won the top spot, the whole process was very complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu chuckled and said to himself: \"Interesting. This Ban family forcibly intervened, letting Ban Ji encounter the bronze sword and bronze knife, but missed the bronze shield that should have been allocated to him. It also prompted the bronze long whip to be allocated to Ning Zhuo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Afterward, they raised the manpower in ambush, but provoked Tie Zheng to attack. Forcibly helping, it was counterproductive. It was more like lifting a rock and dropping it on their own feet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a god, Young Master Qingwu controlled the Profound Armor Cave, but was very indifferent, and didn't take the Ban family's offense to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused more on Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is not a martial cultivator, nor a body cultivator, but a mechanism cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he is very young, with extraordinary talent, a real genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, his luck is very prosperous, far higher than ordinary people. The Ban family helped Ban Ji, but instead indirectly benefited him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Satisfying these three points, he is the predestined person I have been waiting for for many years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu made a judgment and couldn't help but recall a scene from the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He specially and secretly visited the Escape Armor Profound Master: \"Please, Profound Master, calculate for me once, calculate my path of cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Escape Armor Profound Master was a demon cultivator who was lucky enough to obtain a remnant inheritance of lower calculation in his early years. It happened that his body was a mysterious turtle, which matched this inheritance quite well. He practiced hard for thousands of years and accumulated a bit of lower calculation ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Escape Armor Profound Master had no way to refuse Young Master Qingwu's request, so he had to calculate for Him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calculated for seven days and seven nights, and the result was told to Young Master Qingwu: \"Young Master, your choice of the path to become a god is correct. Just follow the steps and go down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu snorted unhappily: \"It is precisely because I encountered a bottleneck on this road that I came to you for divination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't try to brush me off, tell me quickly how to break through next!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Escape Armor Profound Master nodded hurriedly and continued to explain in detail: \"Young Master, your body is the instrument spirit of the Nine-Fold Profound Armored Shell. Because you absorbed countless Profound Armored Shells refined by others, you accumulated vast principles and reasons, gradually giving birth to divinity, and turned from an instrument spirit into a god.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason why you are trapped in a bottleneck is precisely because of this reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have accumulated too many principles, too complicated. Only by being pure can you go further!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu's expression eased slightly: \"Before coming to you, I also consulted many high-ranking people of the same sect. This knot is already known. I asked you to calculate how to be pure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Escape Armor Profound Master said: \"Young Master, don't worry, I have already calculated the cultivation opportunity related to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twelve years later, the Myriad Phenomena Sect will hold the Flying Cloud Assembly again. The Profound Armor Cave will also hold many Cloud-Rising Trials. Your predestined person will stand out at this time, participate in the trial, become the top spot, and appear before you on his own initiative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu raised his eyebrows slightly: \"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Escape Armor Profound Master continued: \"This person is a male cultivator, gifted, very young, and his luck is extremely prosperous, far higher than ordinary people. When you meet him, you will see it at a glance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu thought for a while and asked: \"This person is young, I'm afraid his cultivation is not high. Since he takes the initiative to participate in the Profound Armor Cave's trial, I'm afraid his cultivation is between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such cultivation, can he help me break through the bottleneck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu didn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Escape Armor Profound Master said: \"Young Master, don't worry, I have already calculated the method for you. At that time, you only need to use the name of awarding the top spot reward to instill many of your true meanings into him, strip away the principles, and add them to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu raised his eyebrows again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Escape Armor Profound Master said again: \"Young Master, your accumulation is too thick. The path of god cultivation lies in the word 'pure'. But the true meanings and principles you understand mainly have four parts. The first is mechanism, the second is refining, the third is military, and the fourth is martial arts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which path you want to become a god, you should abandon the other three aspects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu sighed: \"I have already found out this method. But to instill true meaning and add principles, the difficulty is extremely high. It is necessary to find extremely precious materials that can carry true meaning and principles, and also ask for the help of a master of refining to help me stabilize my body. Otherwise, I will suffer heavy injuries and have the danger of collapse. Is your predestined person a master of refining?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Escape Armor Profound Master shook his head: \"It is not. I don't know the relevant facts. I only calculated that this person can help Young Master break through the bottleneck and go further. As for how he does it, it is not in the result of this lower calculation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu couldn't help but narrow his eyes, half-believing and half-doubting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The past is like smoke, and twelve years have passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu was still half-believing and half-doubting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled slightly and came back to his senses: \"Since things have come to this, summon this Ning Zhuo to have an audience and try it, and you will know whether the divination is true or false.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's fake, I must settle the account with the Escape Armor Profound Master!
