Chapter Fourteen: Water Gate

  Ji Ning felt a distortion of space and time, somewhat similar to when he had jumped into the Six Paths of Reincarnation in his past life.

  In an instant, everything calmed down.

  "Here……” Ji Ning looked around, finding himself in a high and wide corridor. The corridor was hundreds of feet wide and hundreds of feet tall. As he turned his head to look back, he couldnt help but be shocked. Behind him was the exit of the corridor, and outside the exit was an endless expanse of water. But somehow, the water didnt seem to be able to enter the corridor, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking it.

  "Whats going on?" Ji Ning cautiously walked over, and a arrow suddenly appeared in his hand, shooting straight out.

  Hmph!

  The arrow hit an invisible barrier and couldnt penetrate it no matter what.

  "I dont believe it." Ji Ning took a step back, then pulled out the Jiaoyu great bow. With a low hum, his entire body was surrounded by a faint red glow, clearly unleashing his divine demonic power. He drew the bow to its limit, and with a swift motion, shot an arrow at the invisible barrier. The arrow flew like a ray of light, striking the barrier.

  The arrow shattered into powder and fell to the ground.

  "This..." Ji Ning furrowed his brow and carefully observed the corridor again.

  "The corridor alone is over a hundred feet wide and high." Ji Ning gazed out at the endless waters through the invisible barrier, "This building must be enormous, at least several miles long and wide. And this is still an underwater construction..."

  "At the bottom of Winged Snake Lake?" Ji Ning shook his head.

  Yixi Lake is just a lake with an area of about 100 square miles, and it would be difficult to accommodate such a large building. Im afraid the Ji family must have discovered this building long ago.

  "Earlier, time and space seemed to have changed, as if a spatial channel had opened." Ji Ning thought to herself, "Im afraid Ive entered another space."

  The more books you read, the more you know.

  Books have recorded that, over the years, some immortals or powerful demons can open up small spaces. Even a grain of sand can open up a world! Some immortal mansions and demon ruins are also in these small spaces or small worlds, usually they cant be found even if you look for them. When opportunity comes, one may accidentally enter.

  However, the caves left behind by these powerful beings are also fraught with danger. After all, how could immortals and demons not leave behind some defensive measures? Most people who enter the ruins end up dead, and those who manage to escape with their lives are considered lucky. As for obtaining treasures like in legends, Ji Ning didnt dare to think about it!

  "Dont be greedy! Work hard to keep your life and escape." Ji Ning observed carefully.

  The unknown represents opportunity.

  It can also represent great danger!

  "This water mansion, lets call it Winged Snake Water Mansion for now." Ji Ning casually gave it a name. Since they couldnt leave the corridor for the time being, they might as well move forward.

  ……

  The corridor is spacious and grand, the floor is even more like a whole cast, Ji Ning tried his best to leave no scars on the floor and walls.

  Walked for a while.

  As soon as he turned the corner, Ji Nings pupils constricted, and all he saw were white skeletons scattered on the ground of the distant corridor. Some of the skeletons had almost completely rotted away into dust, but strangely, there were very few weapons and treasures on the ground, except for a suit of armor and some weapons next to the most intact skeleton in the distance to his left.

  "What about the magical artifacts of the other corpses?" Ji Ning asked in puzzlement, "Even if there were no magical artifacts, at least there should be some divine weapons, how come not a single one was found?"

  "Whoosh!"

  Ji Nings heart moved slightly, and with a direct mental command, he summoned the corpse that had armor and weapons on it, instantly pulling it to his side.

  Hmph.

  As soon as it was placed on the ground, the corpse suddenly shook and shattered into pieces.

  "It seems like its been dead for a long time." Ji Ning took a glance at the armor and weapon, picked them up immediately, and his innate true yuan invaded to refine them. With this refinement, he discovered... because the previous owner had died too long ago, there was no trace of magical power left in either of the two treasures, and Ji Ning easily refined them.

  "I can refine it, but it seems to be an unrefined treasure." Ji Ning thought to himself, "It seems that the deceased was only a congenital cultivator with actual strength."

  Ji Ning carefully examined the corpse and soon noticed a ring on his finger. He immediately picked it up and refined it, and indeed... this ring was the storage treasure on the deceaseds body. After slightly exploring the storage treasure, Ji Ning was shocked. The space of the storage treasure was not large, smaller than that of Tie Mu.

  But...

  "So many treasures." Ji Ning was shocked, inside this storage treasure, there were actually floating pieces of treasure, each with an extraordinary aura, including weapons, array techniques, armor, and even more storage treasures.

  "Why does one person need to carry so many magical artifacts." Ji Ning glanced at the numerous corpses in the distance, none of which had any magical artifacts next to them. "Im afraid it should be that all the magical artifacts from before have been gathered up."

  Ji Ning swiftly refined it.

  After refining, I found... there are 112 pieces of storage-type treasures, 136 pieces of weapon treasures, 31 pieces of armor treasures, and 16 other array-type and peculiar treasures. As for the Taoist symbols, there were quite a few, but unfortunately, it seems that too much time has passed, and the Taoist power contained within them has dissipated, leaving only over a dozen Taoist symbols that can still be used.

  "I can refine all of them, but they are all inferior treasures." Ji Ning muttered, "The previous owners of these treasures were all innate spiritual beings. That is to say, the ones who came to this corridor generation after generation were all innate spiritual beings."

  Ji Ning chose a storage treasure that had an internal space of nearly 100 meters in size, and a storage waistband wrapped around his waist. However, the surface of the storage waistband looked like just a simple and unadorned belt. Ji Ning also chose a good suit of armor to refine and merge with his skin.

  The armor of Fa Bao is much stronger than Jincheng Yi, and Jincheng Yi has been retired and collected by Ji Ning.

  Actually, Ji Ning wasnt too surprised to obtain these treasures, as he was after all the next master of the Ji clans Western Manor, so obtaining defensive treasure like the Shielding Law was still quite easy.

  "But the quantity isnt small, adding it all up, I estimate its comparable to a first-class magic treasure." Ji Ning immediately stopped thinking about it, that guy in front also obtained this many magic treasures, but in the end still died here. Surviving and getting out is whats most important.

  Ji Ning held two Northern Frost Swords and proceeded with caution, after all there was no other path to take, only forward!

  In terms of power, the North Ming Sword is no less than these non-ranking magic treasures, and it doesnt even need to consume innate true yuan. Of course, Ji Ning would naturally prefer to use the North Ming Sword.

  ……

  Ji Ning proceeded step by step with great caution.

  When walking to those corpses, it was even more cautious, suddenly...

  Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Suddenly, a large number of golden beans appeared out of thin air, and they all fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Immediately following this, these golden beans quickly melted into a golden liquid, each drop condensing into a golden armored heavenly soldier holding a weapon.

  Golden light flashing, dazzlingly brilliant one by one majestic heavenly soldiers and generals standing around.

  "Scattering beans to form soldiers?" Ji Ning was stunned, and at the same time, he also sensed that these Golden Armor Heavenly Soldiers were all powerful, with innate strength in every one of them. "And there are actually eighty-one of them?"

  "How dare you trespass on our territory! You will die!" The eighty-one Golden Armor soldiers shouted in unison, and immediately charged over to kill them.

  Ji Ning held two Northern Ming swords, and at this moment, he finally understood that the corpses before were probably killed by these 81 Golden Armor soldiers. Ji Ning didnt dare to hesitate and immediately used his Wind Wing Escape technique, swooshing as he stepped on the wall of the corridor, just like a great roc spreading its wings, instantly passing over the 81 Golden Armor soldiers who were about to continue charging forward.

  "Great formation, rise!" The eighty-one Golden Armored Warriors shouted in unison.

  Suddenly, a misty fog rose at both ends of the corridor. When Ji Ning rushed to the fog, his sword stabbed out but couldnt pierce through it at all.

  "Dont even think about escaping." The eighty-one Golden Armored Warriors charged again.

  "Perplexed?"

  Ji Ning glanced at the misty fog on both ends, "It seems that if we dont kill these 81 Golden Armored Warriors, we wont be able to get out. Those guys from before all died one by one, Im not as weak as those guys."

  Whoosh!

  Ji Ning unfolded his Wind Wing Escape Technique and swiftly treaded on the walls, dashing to the rear of the Golden Armored Guards. Immediately after, he directly killed one of the Golden Armored Guards.

  "Clang, clang, clang!" In an instant, three swords.

  Pfft!

  Ji Nings sword pierced through the golden-armored generals skull, but the golden-armored general still thrust out his long spear with his hand.

  "What." Ji Ning was startled and jumped back in fright.

  "Even if its a divine demon cultivating the body, one sword piercing the skull would almost certainly be fatal. How is this golden armored soldier not dead?" Ji Ning suddenly became anxious, earlier in their brief exchange he discovered that the golden armored soldiers use of his long spear was only at an entry level, but his strength was no less than Ji Nings.

  The most lethal thing is... even stabbing out of the skull doesnt matter.

  "Kill!" Ji Nings sword had just pierced the golden-armored generals skull, seemingly enraging the other golden-armored generals. Instantly, they all bellowed and charged over to surround and slaughter him wildly.

  Ji Ning unfolded his stride, walking amidst the siege of the Golden Armor Guards. At every moment, he faced at most three opponents, relying on the two Northern Ming Swords in his hands... repeatedly piercing through the chests and heads of the Golden Armor Guards, yet these Golden Armor Guards remained unscathed.

  "Water and fire lotus flower!" Ji Ning was anxious.

  Wow wow wow~~~~

  Around Jingning, three huge water lily leaves and three huge fire lily leaves appeared, shrouding the surroundings. The two layers of lily leaves were still slowly rotating in opposite directions, and suddenly six golden armored soldiers who were shrouded under the water and fire lily leaves were crushed by the rolling force, their bodies quickly disintegrating into liquid.

  These golden liquids quickly flowed out of the range of the Water Fire Lotus Leaf and re-condensed into six Golden Armor Warriors.

  "How can this be." Ji Ning found it hard to believe that something that had already melted into a liquid could still re-condense and come back out.

  "Its not that the eighty-one Golden Armored Warriors were too weak in the past, but rather they are fundamentally indestructible." Ji Ning was clearly at a loss for how to deal with these eighty-one Golden Armored Warriors, who had all been crushed into fragments and could reassemble themselves from liquid.

  "Kill!"

  "Kill!"

  "Kill!"

  Six Golden Armor Generals were crushed, which seemed to make these Golden Armor Generals even more furious.

  "Form a circle!" The eighty-one Golden Armor soldiers shouted in unison, and they quickly surrounded Ji Ning.

  These golden armor soldiers were divided into two circles, the inner circle had twenty-seven golden armor soldiers, and the outer circle had fifty-four golden armor soldiers, each holding a long spear staring angrily at Ji Ning.
