Twenty-seven Golden Armor soldiers simultaneously thrust out their hands, shining golden long spears carrying endless might towards Ji Ning! The fifty-four Golden Armor soldiers behind also held long spears at the same time, ready to replace them at any moment.

  "There must be a weakness, there must be a thread of life left, if its really invincible, exhaustion will kill me anyway." Ji Ning charged forward with the North Ming Sword in both hands, swift as a gust of wind. Clang! The North Ming Sword and the long spear collided, Ji Ning parried the spear while charging into the crowd of Golden Armor soldiers.

  "Fall back!"

  "Attack!"

  The first twenty-seven Golden Armor soldiers retreated in an orderly manner, while the remaining fifty-four Golden Armor soldiers formed a larger encirclement to trap Ji Ning like a turtle in a jar.

  "Really?" Ji Ning furrowed her brow.

  "Water Fire Lotus!" Ji Nings heart skipped a beat.

  Wow wow wow~~~~

  Eight pairs of water and fire lotus flowers appeared around him at the same time, each pair consisting of a water lotus leaf and a fire lotus leaf. This move contained the true meaning of Tao, so even Ji Ning had to exert his full strength when casting it, and it was already quite strenuous for him to cast eight pairs of water and fire lotus flowers simultaneously.

  "Ka ka ka~~~" Eight pairs of Water Fire Lotus Flowers were spinning, as if grinding wheels, and shrouded sixteen Golden Armor Generals. These Golden Armor Generals were frantically dodging, but one by one, their bodies showed cracks from being crushed.

  "Kill!"

  "Kill!"

  The Golden Armor Warriors were enraged and charged towards Ji Ning one by one, avoiding the Water Fire Lotus.

  Ji Ning wielded the North Ming Sword, but seemed like a fierce tiger. The sword shadow was like fire, and in an instant, it cut down a Golden Armor General into three segments. However, the Golden Armor Generals body, which had been cut into three segments, quickly reconnected, and continued to roar as he clashed with Ji Ning.

  "Its indeed like that, its indeed like that." Ji Ning was very pleased and burst into loud laughter. "You Golden Armored Warriors so-called invincibility is just a bluff, every time you get injured your strength will decrease. Haha, I wonder how long you can hold on."

  Earlier, when the eighty-one Jiajun formed an array to besiege, Ji Ning discovered that the strength of these Jiajun had decreased slightly. Although the decrease was not much, Ji Nings senses were extremely sharp and he still detected this point.

  Ji Ning simultaneously manipulated eight pairs of Water and Fire Lotus Flowers, heavily injuring sixteen Golden Armor Guards.

  When they clashed again, Ji Ning discovered... that these Golden Armored Guards powers had weakened even further.

  "Eighty-one Golden Armor Generals, as if they were one entity. If one is heavily injured, the others will all be affected." Ji Ning thought to himself, "Moreover, these Golden Armor Generals are transformed from golden liquid, so theres no need to worry about harming them. Just keep inflicting heavy injuries on them and their contained magical powers will constantly weaken... they will eventually disperse."

  Kill!

  The Golden Armor Warriors are fearless of death.

  Ji Ning, however, was manipulating the eight pairs of Water and Fire Lotus Flowers to move one by one, enveloping and crushing the Golden Armored Guards, while also wielding the North Ming Sword to dodge again and again... Ji Ning also discovered that his sword was piercing through the bodies of the Golden Armored Guards one by one, weakening their strength very slowly. The Water and Fire Lotus Flowers crushed them, weakening them a bit faster.

  ……

  This is a war of attrition.

  "Boom!" One by one, the golden armored warriors automatically exploded and turned into nothingness. All 81 golden armored warriors disappeared.

  Ji Ning finally let out a long sigh and retracted the surrounding Water Fire Lotus Flowers.

  "Shes too much trouble."

  "If it werent for the Water Fire Lotus technique, Im afraid I would have been exhausted to death." Ji Ning sensed the Red Brightness divine power within his body and couldnt help but sigh. The Red Brightness divine power in his body had only about half left. This was still under the premise that the divine power of the "Red Brightness Nine Heaven Diagram" he cultivated was exceptionally thick.

  This battle mainly relied on the Water Fire Lotus to shatter them repeatedly, and he only used the Vermilion Bright Divine Power with the two North Ming Swords to protect himself. Even so, it was enough to consume half of his divine power.

  Ji Ning glanced back at the corpses behind him, some of which had been reduced to ashes by the battle, while others still existed.

  "They died here, probably most of them were exhausted to death." Ji Ning thought to himself, "The strong ones who cultivate the body of gods and demons are good at prolonged battles, but theyre having such a hard time. How can those simple Qi-refining innate spirits possibly survive?"

  Wow~~~~

  The mist at both ends of the corridor also slowly dispersed.

  Ji Ning cautiously walked forward to the corner of the corridor, but instead of continuing on, he looked towards the other side of the corridor around the bend, and saw that there were also some corpses in the distance.

  "Its actually a corpse, it seems that the next corridor is also very dangerous. I really dont know how many dangers this ancient relic has." Ji Nings heart trembled, "And those who can die there are probably the ones who have gone through the 81 Golden Armored Warriors."

  "Come."

  Ji Ning stared at the corpses on the other side of the corridor and found that only one of the several corpses had some armor, weapons and other items. He immediately used his divine sense to roll up that corpse and the treasure and brought them over.

  "Enough to break through to the next corridor, Im afraid there arent many treasures." Ji Ning carefully examined the corpse, this corpse was over a zhang tall, and the most likely place for storage-type treasures on its body was undoubtedly the armguard on its arm bones. Ji Ning quickly took it off and incinerated it, "Its indeed a storage-type treasure."

  "Indeed many."

  There were thousands of treasures hidden inside, and Ji Ning could easily refine them one by one. Unfortunately, he found that... every single one of them was a low-grade treasure.

  "Its just that theyre not worth mentioning." Ji Ning shook his head, "Although there are thousands of them, when added together, they probably dont even amount to one percent of the Wanli Wuzong Symbol."

  The Wanli Wuzong symbol is the treasure of the town hall!

  Even the most precious treasures of the world cannot be compared to it...

  "Take a break." Ji Ning sat cross-legged, took out a bamboo tube, opened the plug and drank with his head tilted back, then took out some roasted meat and started eating. "These old guys who died one by one may have left behind storage treasures, but theres nothing to eat. Its been too long, those edible things have all turned to ashes."

  "These useless treasures are of no use to me now."

  "After all, I have a few pieces of treasure that are enough." Ji Ning also shook his head. For example, storage-type treasures, whats the use of having hundreds of them? Can they increase ones strength by even a thread? If he cant get out alive, then the thousands of inferior treasures he obtained might be found by someone else in some unknown year to come.

  ……

  Ji Ning sat there eating and drinking, not hurrying to move forward.

  At the same time, the Akatsukis power within his body was also gradually recovering.

  After eating and drinking, Ji Ning took out one by one the storage-type treasures to take a look. Occasionally, he could still find some cultivation secrets and sword techniques. However, some important ultimate books were all destroyed after being learned, in order to prevent them from being leaked! Therefore, most of these carried books were very ordinary, not any precious secret recipes.

  Its just equivalent to one book and "Dī Shuǐ Jīng".

  "Its an unexpected gain." Ji Ning smiled and then began to rummage through the numerous storage treasures, taking out various strange objects one by one for examination.

  Worn out!

  Awesome!

  Its fun!

  All sorts of strange objects were taken out one by one, and this process of searching for treasures also greatly improved Ji Nings mood.

  "Huh?" Ji Ning suddenly turned over a strange piece of bark, just about to throw it away, but as soon as he saw the writing on it, his face changed.

  "Wu Dan, our tribe has just received news that the Huahua Immortal, who has been alive for hundreds of millions of years since the era of gods and demons, is openly accepting disciples. Although the Huahua Immortal is a loose immortal, he may have lived for hundreds of millions of years, surviving countless heavenly calamities without dying. According to our tribes elder, his strength is no less than that of a celestial immortal."

  Jiuhua Xianren had never accepted a disciple before, and even the Second Prince of our Great Xia Dynasty was unable to become his apprentice.

  Jiuhua Xianren is openly accepting disciples this time, and the news has already spread.

  Moreover, Xuan Huaxian also publicly stated that the disciples he would recruit must be of the Shenmo Lianti school, with a minimum strength of Xiantian Spirit and a maximum of Zifu Realm. He will set up two corridors... one corridor for Xiantian spirits to venture through, and one corridor for Zifu Realm cultivators to venture through.

  There are three passes on each corridor!

  Those who have passed through three trials without dying can become the successors of the Xian people!

  Jiuhua Xianren only accepts one disciple!

  As for the location of the disciple collection, Xī Huá Xiān Rén has descended to Qiū Jiāo Island in the North Míng Great Sea to openly collect disciples. Its likely that he wont leave until he finds a disciple. From here to Qiū Jiāo Island in the distant North Míng Great Sea, it takes more than half a year to arrive. If you rush there and are late, someone else might take precedence. Wù Dān, Ive given you the news; whether or not you go is up to you.

  "Gods will is hard to guess!"

  ……

  Looking at the letter made of this extremely ancient tree bark, Ji Ning held her breath: "Shen Cong? This tree bark must be from a Shen Cong tree. No wonder such an ancient letter can be passed down to the present."

  Banyan tree, forever incorruptible.

  Some precious items are generally preserved in wooden boxes made of sacred tree wood. The sacred tree is the specialty of the Sacred Tree Clan and also a symbol. That was truly an incredibly powerful clan, many times stronger than the Ji Clan. It was one of the top clans on the endless vast lands ruled by the Great Xia Dynasty!

  "Jiuhua Immortal?" Ji Ning furrowed her brow in contemplation, "Jiuhua Immortal openly accepts disciples. This Jiuhua Immortal has existed since the Era of Gods and Demons, and when he accepted disciples, he had lived for hundreds of millions of years. But from the Era of Gods and Demons to now, its probably been tens of billions of years."

  "Its been too long since I took on an apprentice, and that Huajian immortal is probably dead by now." Ji Ning understood this.

  The Immortal has to go through the three disasters and nine calamities repeatedly, being able to live for hundreds of millions of years without dying is already a miracle, how can he possibly still be alive now.

  "What about this Water Palace..."

  "It should be the immortals abode where Jiuhua Xianren accepts disciples. The corridor Im currently in should be one of the two corridors for accepting disciples." thought Ji Ning secretly.

  Ji Ning gazed at those corpses in the distance.

  Although these corpses were all divine demon-refined bodies, since they could exist, it was clear that they hadnt been dead for too long.

  Its clear that this immortal mansion often directly relocates some divine demon cultivators or Zi Fu masters who have cultivated their bodies since birth to here. And I am also one of the unlucky ones.

  "That Ambrose Immortal openly accepts disciples, but the conditions for accepting them are extremely harsh. Otherwise, he would have easily accepted a disciple long ago." Ji Ning thought to himself, "The corridor has three passes. It seems that the previous one was the first pass. The first pass already forced me to rely on the Water Fire Lotus to get through. The two passes behind will probably be even more dangerous... how can I get through?"

  "Am I going to end up like them, dead and rotting here?" Ji Ning gazed at the distant corpses, holding her breath in contemplation.
