Chapter 224 - Enemy Arrives
Chapter 224 Enemy Arrives
‘It’s actually a secret treasure?’ Xu Ning was also surprised by the generosity of the golden-eyed demon ape. He had learned from Wan Ye that some dao realm masters would use secret treasures in addition to dao weapons.
Secret treasures were not refined by humans. They were actually strange objects that were birthed by the world. They were then refined and worked on to activate the power contained in the strange object.
There were strong and weak secret treasures. A weak secret treasure might not be comparable to an ordinary dao weapon, but a legendary top secret treasure could even increase the user’s strength by ten times.
Of course, most secret treasures were stronger than dao weapons.
“Senior Jin Meng, I can’t accept this Wind Smoke Gourd.”
Xu Ning refused. “I have already received the benefits of your Demon Ape Wine, so I can’t take this treasure anymore.”
The golden-eyed demon ape shook his head. “Take it. This Wind Smoke Gourd is useless to me. It was actually refined by a human. I can only use secret treasures that resonate with my bloodline power.” Although the golden-eyed demon ape said this, Xu Ning couldn’t ignore the value of the Wind Smoke Gourd.
The reason why it took out the Wind Smoke Gourd was because it wanted to form a good relationship with Xu Ning.
The golden-eyed demon ape had predicted that Xu Ning would take a year to digest the Demon Ape Wine, so it had obviously underestimated Xu Ning. In the end, Xu Ning only took two days to completely subvert his one-year prediction. The golden-eyed demon ape felt that this kind of genius was hard to come by.
“Xu Ning, accept it.”
Wan Ye said, “Jin Meng is also a senior, so don’t refuse a gift from your senior.”
On one hand, Wan Ye saw through the golden-eyed demon ape’s intentions, and on the other hand, he felt that Xu Ning would be safer with a secret treasure.
Hearing this, Xu Ning did not refuse further.
“In that case, thank you very much, Senior Jin Meng.”
Xu Ning finally accepted the gift from the golden-eyed demon ape.
“This secret treasure, the Wind Smoke Gourd, can absorb terrifying poisonous gas, miasma, and so on. After refining it into gray fog and wind smoke, you can use it for yourself. However, every time you use it, the gray fog and wind smoke inside will be exhausted. And once the fog inside is exhausted, you have to find a way to replenish it. The more terrifying the poisonous gas and miasma that you absorb, the more powerful it will be after being refined.”
“I had accidentally obtained this treasure, but because it was refined by a human, I can’t use it, so you have to experience its power for yourself.”
“Is that so…”
Xu Ning looked at the pure white gourd in front of him and nodded.
In his opinion, this looked a little like a demonic path tool.
The golden-eyed demon ape continued, “A secret treasure is different from a dao weapon. When using a dao weapon, you only need to engrave a manipulation mark, but a secret treasure requires you to drip your blood into it. If one steals a dao weapon, they only need to erase the manipulation mark. But if one wants to steal a secret treasure, you can only kill its owner.”
“Quick, bind it with your blood.”
The golden-eyed demon ape urged. “Okay.”
Xu Ning did not hesitate. He opened up a wound in his hand, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dropped it on the Wind Smoke Gourd.
The blood bead on Xu Ning’s finger was bright red and crystal clear. It contained terrifying amounts of energy.
If some unorthodox demonic path warriors obtained this drop of blood, they could cultivate a demonic technique at a rapid pace.
Plop!
After the blood droplet dripped onto the surface of the Wind Smoke Gourd, it made a slight noise before completely integrating into it.
Immediately after, the Wind Smoke Gourd began to tremble. Xu Ning then felt a strange connection between him and the pure white gourd.
With a thought, the pure white gourd suddenly flew up and quickly shrank from a meter tall and half meter wide to only the size of two palms.
After flying up, it landed straight into Xu Ning’s palm.
Xu Ning could sense a strange aura inside the Wind Smoke Gourd.
Once he released it, he could command it to fight.
‘With the help of the Martial Arts Panel, immediately after advancing, I will be at the peak of the body smelting realm. Moreover, I have the foundation of six attribute seeds and the Wind Smoke Gourd. With these, I have a high probability of defeating an astral qi realm master!
This was the advantage of the Martial Arts Panel. Xu Ning knew that his strength was rapidly increasing Perhaps he now had enough strength to fight against the people of the Jade Night Sect.
“Thank you, Senior Jin Meng, for giving me the Wind Smoke Gourd. If you have anything you need in the future, just say the word.” Xu Ning put the Wind Smoke Gourd into his storage ring and said to the golden-eyed demon ape. “Okay.”
The golden-eyed demon ape was quite satisfied with Xu Ning’s attitude.
“Xu Ning, now that you have advanced to the dao realm, what are your plans in the future?”
Wan Ye, who had not spoken for a while, asked.
Xu Ning had told him that only after advancing to the dao realm and expelling the Jade Night Sect would he go to State Wansheng.
“I plan to deal with the troubles of the Jade Night Sect first.”
Xu Ning expressed his thoughts directly.
“But you are only in the early stages of the body smelting realm. You are still not comparable to the Sect Master and the elders of the Jade Night Sect.”
Wan Ye said with concern. He was afraid that Xu Ning would let his advancement get in his head and fight the people of the Jade Night Sect.
e
If he accidentally died, it would be a huge loss. “If this was in the past, I really didn’t have much confidence, but after Senior Jin Meng gave me the Wind Smoke Gourd, I am more confident.”
Xu Ning knew that words couldn’t convince Wan Ye, so he was ready to prove it with his strength.
Xu Ning shouted and activated his strength.
Now that the six attribute seeds had perfectly integrated into Xu Ning’s body, when he activated his full strength, his body emitted a layer of light.
Blue and red colors intertwined above the light. “This is…”
The golden-eyed demon ape and Wan Ye’s expressions changed again.
“This is the result of perfectly integrating one’s attribute seeds into one’s body!”
Wan Ye was shocked.
When a body smelting realm master just advanced, the attribute seeds would only briefly fuse into their body at the start.
Only with further practice could one perfectly integrate the attribute seeds into their body.
And when one integrated them perfectly, one would have the qualifications to advance to the second stage dao realm. But now, Xu Ning had just advanced, but he had already perfectly integrated the seeds.
Moreover, Xu Ning had integrated six attribute seeds into his body. The difficulty of integrating his attribute seeds was much higher than that of an ordinary body smelting realm martial artist.
‘This can only mean that when he was in the void realm ninth stage true domain realm, his foundation was already terrifying! His foundation was so deep that once he breaks through, he will be at the peak of the body smelting realm!’
Although the golden-eyed demon ape was a demon beast, it had a lot of experience, and he deeply understood the martial arts system of a human dao realm master.
“With my current comprehensive strength, I can at least protect my life in front of the Jade Night Sect’s astral qi realm sect master.”
Xu Ning said, “After the other party knows my strength, they will definitely have concerns and won’t fight us head-on. My appearance will also give them a strong sense of intimidation, causing the people of the Jade Night Sect to not be as reckless as before.”
Xu Ning’s words were very restrained. He felt that he had the strength to defeat the astral qi realm sect master.
Wan Ye fell into deep thought.
“What sect is the Jade Night Sect? Are you in trouble?”
The golden-eyed demon ape asked.
Seeing the golden-eyed demon ape was confused, Xu Ning explained.
“These outsiders came to the Abyss North?”
After hearing this, the golden-eyed demon ape rolled its eyes. “Do you need my help?” Xu Ning’s eyes lit up.
The golden-eyed demon ape was a peak early-stage dao realm demon beast, and its strength was comparable to a dao realm third stage master. If it took action, the Jade Night Sect would definitely be driven back to State Wansheng. But after thinking about it, Xu Ning refused the proposal of the golden-eyed demon ape. “No need, Senior Jin Meng.”
This had nothing to do with the golden-eyed demon ape. After all, he had already received too many benefits from it. He shouldn’t push his luck further.
“I feel that I have enough strength to stabilize the current situation.”
Xu Ning was full of confidence.
“In this case, I won’t get involved.”
The golden-eyed demon ape did not insist.
“If that is the case, let’s return to the land of the Abyss North.”
When Wan Ye saw Xu Ning’s firm stance, he respected Xu Ning’s choice.
“Okay.”
Xu Ning responded.
“Jin Meng, we’re leaving.”
Wan Ye said to the golden-eyed demon ape.
“Okay.”
The golden-eyed demon ape nodded. “Senior Jin Meng, we will take our leave first.”
Xu Ning cupped his fists.
Afterwards, Jin Meng personally sent Wan Ye and Xu Ning to the shore of the island.
After bidding farewell again, Wan Ye took out the silver ship and carried Xu Ning and Cyan away.
On the ship.
“Senior Wan Ye, do you have any dao realm techniques in your hand? I want to practice them.”
Xu Ning said to Wan Ye.
Now that he had accepted the sect token, he didn’t think it was inappropriate to make such a request. “Dao realm techniques?” Wan Ye who was steering the ship laughed.
“How can there be dao realm techniques in the early stages of the dao realm?”.
Wan Ye explained, “Only after reaching the fourth stage of the dao realm will you gain similar fighting methods like techniques. Before that, the techniques you learned in the void realm are enough.” “The first three stages of the dao realm are almost entirely dependent on the power of the physical body. You don’t have to worry about this at all.”
“Is that so…”
After hearing Wan Ye’s explanation, Xu Ning realized that he was too impatient.
Afterwards, Wan Ye continued to drive the ship.
A few days later.
State Jifeng.
Elder Luan Shijian, who was entrusted by Sect Master Lu Zhanxing, had already arrived in State Jifeng with twenty high level void realm disciples.
“The fifteen of you, go to the Moon Gazing Sect and rescue our people, then get rid of the Sect Master and the elders of the Moon Gazing Sect.”
Luan Shijian pointed out fifteen of them and ordered.
“Yes, Elder Luan.”
The fifteen selected disciples responded respectfully.
Among these fifteen people, several were half-step dao realm masters, and none were weaker than Senior Brother Mo.
“The others, follow me to the Yuelan Sect.”
Luan Shijian ordered again and rushed towards the Yuelan Sect with the other five disciples.
An hour later, Luan Shijian and five other disciples appeared in front of the Yuelan Sect.
“Who is approaching the Yuelan Sect?”
The disciples stationed outside the sect had already noticed Luan Shijian and the others.
They had already reacted and reported in secret while being on guard.
Luan Shijian ignored the disciple and punched the ground. Immediately, spider web-like cracks appeared on the ground, and the entire Yuelan Sect shook.
