Thousands of magical treasures shot out sword auras, knife auras, and spear auras, just like the combined force of thousands of Qi-refining cultivators first strike! But Ji Ning did it alone, if Ji Ning hadnt reached the Divine Thought level of soul, he wouldnt have been able to divide his mind to control so many magical treasures with such precision and target one place. (This chapter was uploaded by a friend)

  If Ji Ning wasnt a Divine Spirit Body with an innate, astonishing recovery ability, this brief moment of madness would have caused all his true yuan to burst out, completely tearing apart his meridians and rendering him a useless person.

  "Hmm~~~"

  The black-haired monster didnt dodge or evade in the slightest, but instead opened his arms and closed his eyes. He was expecting, yearning...

  A loud noise inside the corridor.

  The black-haired monster also fell down like a mountain collapse, with a loud crash!

  "Are you hurt?" Ji Ning looked longingly at the distance.

  At this moment, his body was broken and his veins were torn apart. His congenital true yuan was completely depleted, without a single drop left.

  "Must, must..." Ji Ning yearned and longed, only to see the black-haired monster lying on the ground in the distance suddenly sit up with a thud, its head lowered as it stared at its chest. At the location of its chest, the original black hair was torn apart, revealing faintly red muscles and deep green blood. Threads of blood flowed out along the wound, and soon the wound healed quickly, leaving only deep green bloodstains on the surface of the black hair.

  Ji Nings eyes were wide with fear as he stared at the dark green bloodstain on the monsters chest.

  Success!

  Success!

  Ive managed to survive on my own!

  "Father, mother, Im alive." Ji Nings demonic body was recovering rapidly, although he couldnt move, but Ji Ning had forgotten the pain, and was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

  "Youve hurt me." The black-haired creature sitting in the distance was initially stunned, then suddenly threw its head back and let out a frantic howl, "Aaaaah!"

  The howls were filled with endless madness, heartbreak and relief.

  Ji Ning also struggled to sit up, gazing at the black-haired monster that was letting out a wail... This wail was the result of suppressing endless loneliness and pain for billions of years, and it even made Ji Nings heart feel a twinge of sourness.

  After a long time, the sound faded away.

  The black-haired monster stood up and looked at Ji Ning, saying in a low, hoarse voice: "Thank you, my new master! Ill refine this immortal mansion soon. Well meet again."

  Wow!

  The black-haired monster suddenly disappeared into thin air.

  ……

  Ji Ning quickly stood up, and the injuries on his bodys meridians were also restored. Ji Ning also stored the thousands of magical treasures that had fallen to the ground into his own storage treasure.

  "I didnt expect that in the end, I would pass the third level with these unconventional treasures." Ji Ning sighed emotionally. A divine demon cultivator who was a congenital spiritual being had actually used thousands of treasures to launch a combined attack... He had never even heard of such a thing before, so he hadnt considered this possibility earlier.

  Its just like Ji Ning, who is clearly a heavens chosen one with a soul that has already reached the Divine Thought level, can do such things.

  Ji Ning had been contemplating the "Nuwa Diagram" since he was an infant. The "Nuwa Diagram" was the most advanced contemplation method in both the Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld, let alone in the Mortal Realm... Some clans like the Ji Clan didnt even have a contemplation method to speak of. Ji Ning even believed that the top contemplation methods in the entire Daxia Empire might not be able to compare to the "Nuwa Diagram".

  "Its done."

  "I have successfully passed this calamity." Ji Ning looked around, gazing at the corpses on the ground in the distance, and felt even more emotional. "The dead will become corpses, but as for me, I am still alive, and according to what that black-haired monster said earlier, I am now the new master."

  Ji Ning did not hurry forward, but instead sat down with his legs crossed to rest.

  After nearly a whole day of exhaustion, when the congenital true yuan in his body had fully recovered, Ji Ning finally got up and continued to move forward. Along the winding corridor, Ji Ning did not walk quickly, but carefully observed this ancient immortal mansion.

  Its been a long time...

  "Hmm?" Ji Ning looked at the exit not far away, and there were pillars outside the exit.

  "Arrived?" Ji Ning quickly walked out of the exit, and couldnt help but take a breath of cool air. This was an incomparably vast great hall, probably several thousand zhang high. In comparison to such a great hall, the corridor next to it that was only over a hundred zhang tall seemed extremely small.

  On the grand hall above lies a gigantic futon, with a diameter of about 100 zhang.

  Under the grand hall...

  There were also hundreds of large tatami mats scattered around.

  "What a huge cushion?" Ji Nings mind was filled with many doubts. "A cushion is for people to sit on, but a hundred-meter-diameter cushion must be for some kind of giant to sit on. And judging by the looks of it, theres a giant sitting in the great hall above, and a group of giants sitting below."

  "Xian Huarens immortal mansion?" Ji Ning shook her head.

  Immortals, if they were of human kind, would be no taller than ordinary people.

  "Its not right." Ji Ning began to carefully examine the grand hall as he walked, the entire hall was very ancient and simple, except for the hundreds of tatami mats, there were no other decorations. Ancient stone pillars supported the hall, and on both sides of the hall, there were corridors, some were a hundred feet high, while others were thousands of feet high.

  There are three corridors as high as a thousand feet and two corridors as high as a hundred feet.

  "Cant get in?" Ji Ning found that including the corridor he came in, he couldnt enter any of the corridors, as if there was an invisible barrier.

  "The palace gate!" Ji Ning looked at the magnificent palace gate, outside the gate... was a vast expanse of fog, completely shrouded in mist, and nothing could be seen.

  Ji Ning stood in this magnificent hall, but he himself seemed to have become as small as an ant. He walked directly to a futon and sat down with a plop. Although he was only 1.7 meters tall, he sat on a futon that was hundreds of feet in diameter. Ji Ning found it quite amusing.

  "Its really comfortable."

  On this futon, Jingning felt his mind clear and refreshed, even his thinking became much quicker.

  "Its really strange, Ive already passed the three gates and arrived at this grand hall. Now, I cant get out of the corridors or doors of the hall. Im trapped here." Ji Ning thought to herself, "The original owner of this Water Palace should have left some preparations for future generations since they left behind those three gates."

  Can instantly move the black-haired monster away and instantly shift it away.

  I was also moved in... Apparently, there should be someone else controlling this water mansion.

  ……

  Just as Ji Ning was sitting on the giant futon in contemplation, a black old cow suddenly walked out from the corridor of the grand hall that was thousands of feet high.

  Ji Ning suddenly felt something and turned his head to look, only to see a black old cow about several zhangs long walking slowly towards him. The old cows eyes were lively and curious, carefully observing Ji Ning.

  "I dont know who you are," said Ji Ning immediately.

  In this ancient water palace, even a casual appearance of a creature would be extraordinary.

  "Me?" The black old cow shook its head, "Dont call me senior, Im just a spirit of the law."

  "Treasured artifact spirit?" Ji Ning was taken aback, "Can treasured artifacts also have spirits?"

  Never heard of it.

  "I am the close body magic treasure of the Xianren." The black old cow sighed, "Little doll, dont think too much about it. Even if my true body is in front of you, with your current strength, you are fundamentally unable to refine me."

  Ji Ning nodded, this point he understood. The Xiantian stage could only refine some unranked magic treasures. Ranked magic treasures also had their differences in quality, the stronger the magic treasure, the harder it was to refine!

  "May I ask who was the previous master of this immortal mansion?" Ji Ning asked in a row.

  "Theyre all dead." The black old cow shook its head, "Theyve been dead for who knows how long."

  Ji Ning nodded silently, and indeed it was so.

  "Its been far too long, such a long time has passed and many divine cultivators with innate spiritual roots and Violet Palace disciples have come to challenge the trial. Alas, not one of them was able to make it through, at most they made it to the third trial before dying one by one. I didnt expect you, a little kid, to actually make it through despite your insufficient divine power, its truly a miracle."

  "Especially in the third pass."

  "Your divine soul is indeed powerful, but this technique of yours is fundamentally impractical." The black old cow said indifferently, "Thousands of magical treasures aimed in one direction, as long as the enemy dodges once, youll need to immediately control thousands of magical treasures again to change their aiming direction... its really difficult to actually hit the enemy."

  Ji Ning nodded: "Yes."

  "But that puppet was also driven mad by endless loneliness and actively welcomed it," said the black old cow. "So you passed too."

  "Puppet?" Ji Ning was surprised, "Is it a puppet?"

  Ive also seen puppets, when I practiced sword fighting, my father even specially set up a puppet as a sparring partner. But the black monster from before felt like it had muscles and blood and could talk, which didnt seem like a puppet at all.

  "You little doll, youve only seen a small part of it. Puppets come in many varieties, the previous one was just a soul implanted into a puppet." The black cow said, "With the soul implanted, it gains wisdom and can even exhibit heavenly unity, and even more exquisite swordsmanship, knife skills, fist techniques, etc. Its power naturally increases exponentially."

  Ji Ning seemed lost in thought.

  "The soul trapped inside the puppet will never be able to enter reincarnation, and will suffer endless loneliness." The black old cow said, "However, your realm is not low either. The lotus leaf you used earlier was based on the Taiyin God Pattern and the Taiyang God Pattern on your body. With these two great god patterns, the cultivation method you should be using is the strongest god-demon cultivation method in the God-Demon Era, the Chi Ming Nine Heavens Diagram. Judging from the thickness of your divine power, I estimate that you have only cultivated up to the fourth level!"

  "Seniors discerning eye."

  "The Scarlet Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, this is a formidable technique indeed." The black old cow sighed in admiration, "To be able to cultivate to the Pre-Heaven stage, and youre only at the fourth level. I reckon youve just broken through not long ago. Your age should also be just around ten or so, right?"

  "Eleven years old." Ji Ning didnt conceal it.

  "An eleven-year-old innate spirit, and yet he has grasped the true meaning of the Way through the Diagram of the Nine Heavens. At such a young age, his swordsmanship has already reached the ultimate truth." The black old cow shook its head, "A genius like this, the Great Xia Dynasty would definitely nurture with great care. They wouldnt be willing to let him go and pay homage to the Yunhua Immortal."

  Ji Nings eyebrows moved slightly.

  "Actually, you only need to reach the sixth level, with your divine power being pure and strong, and relying on the true intention of the Tao, you can pass the third trial. However, its also good that youre like this, your divine soul is strong, your realm is high, and your future achievements will be limitless." The black old cow sighed with emotion, "But I also congratulate you, youve become the fifth master of this place."
