Volume 6: Breaking Out of the Cocoon Chapter 5: A Wooden Stake

  "I suppose you wouldn't dare deceive me." Tong Yu nodded lightly.

  Mu Si said: "Although we have discovered this giant yuan stone vein, it is located within the Ji family's territory. The small Ji family is not to be feared, and our Yan Mountain branch can easily destroy them. However..." Mu Si recounted the entire cause and effect.

  Tong Yu listened with furrowed brows: "Maze?"

  "Uh, Patriarch Ji's ninth son, Ji Jiu Huo is very skilled in formations and poison." Mu Si Lian said, "This time we only invited fellow disciples to deal with the Ji Clan, the Ji Clan itself doesn't have enough strength to be feared, except for this formation..."

  "A large array has been laid down." Tong Yu frowned and said, "We are not good at array methods and it's easy to get dragged on. Once delayed for a long time, the Great Xia Dynasty's heavenly messenger will arrive! In many places around Yan Mountain, there is an array master who is close by... There is one, he is 'Nongzi Dao' Shidi. As long as we invite Nongzi Dao Shidi to come, this kind of small tribal array method can be easily captured!"

  Mushishi nodded: "Nong Zidao Shixiong is also within our invitation range, now that Tong Yu Shixiong has spoken up, I believe Nong Zidao Shixiong will go too."

  "You go and invite Subduing Demoness now," Tong Yu instructed, "I will head to your Yanshan immediately."

  "Thank you, brother." Musashi was overjoyed.

  "Go ahead." Tong Yu instructed.

  A green leaf talisman suddenly appeared under Mu Si's feet, and then a flowing light flashed by and disappeared into the distant horizon.

  Tong Yu looked far away, lost in thought for a long time.

  "Earth Dragon." Tong Yu turned his head and shouted.

  "Master." Only a cyan-scaled, single-horned earth dragon emerged, with four claws and a majestic appearance. At this moment, its body was also rapidly shrinking, becoming over ten zhang in length.

  "Come, follow me to Yanshan," Tong Yu said in a low voice. "If we make great contributions this time, perhaps I can take the opportunity to ask the sect for help in breaking through."

  Tong Yu Ben was a scattered cultivator. He had reached the Purple Mansion realm in his Qi refinement early on, but the Qi refinement technique he cultivated was too shallow, making it almost impossible for him to break through to the Wan Xiang True Person realm! Later, he slowly cultivated the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique and broke through to the Purple Mansion level. Reaching the Purple Mansion with the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique... is also considered a talent, so he was able to join the Snow Dragon Mountain sect!

  Alas, I have already reached the late stage of refining Qi in the Purple Mansion, and it's too late to turn back. Changing to another technique is also too late.

  Fortunately, the fierce and decisive heart that had been tempered for a long time was able to establish great merit. After being cultivated by the sect, he was able to pass on the divine technique "Law of Heaven and Earth", and his status soared overnight.

  Nowadays...

  He has been in seclusion for a long time, just to make the divine demon's body breakthrough to the level of all things! It's just that every major boundary crossing is too difficult. The sect does have a way to increase the possibility of breaking through, but the cost is too great, how can they bear to help him?

  "The host will surely succeed." The earthworm crawled over.

  Tong Yu directly sat on the back of the earth dragon. (This chapter is uploaded by a friend.)

  Wow!

  The earth dragon directly stepped on the cloud and flew to the distant horizon, disappearing into the night sky. The dragon's bloodline was born with the ability to control water, although it was only at the level of the purple mansion... but it could also ride the clouds and fly.

  Ancient Water Palace

  Ji Ning and the Black Ox walked out of the Starry Sky Pavilion side by side.

  "In this Starlight Hall, enlightenment is indeed much faster." Ji Ning praised.

  "The Starry Hall has a ripple effect." said the black old cow. "But it's still your usual accumulation. Only when you experience more, understand more... The numerous small epiphanies that are usually scattered and unnoticed by yourself will make great progress in the Starry Hall. But without daily accumulation... even if you stay in the Starry Hall every day, it would be useless."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  Reading ten thousand volumes is not as useful as traveling ten thousand miles; experience and insight are the most important things.

  "The Temple of War God has arrived." The black old cow stood in front of the Temple of War God, and on the bronze gate of the Temple of War God were carved war axes and long spears, with a fierce killing atmosphere rushing forward. Moreover, the entire bronze gate was covered with a layer of red light, with a bloody and murderous aura.

  Ji Ning held her breath.

  "Senior," Ji Ning asked in succession, "what did Yunhua Immortal experience when he ventured into the first layer of the War God Temple back then?"

  "It's useless to ask." The black old cow shook its head, "The danger of each floor in the Temple of War is temporarily set and can be changed at any time. I already knew it when I was chatting with the Cave Mansion Spirit."

  "Oh." Ji Ning sighed helplessly.

  "Be careful, although the trials of the War God Temple are essentially to temper you and not kill you, since you're a Divine Demon Cultivator, the possibility of dying in the War God Temple is very low. However, since it's a trial, there will always be danger! Don't really lose your life."

  "Don't worry." Ji Ning immediately stretched out his hand and stepped forward to push open the bronze gate.

  As soon as his hand touched the bronze gate.

  Wow!

  The layer of hazy red light on the surface of the bronze gate instantly engulfed Ji Ning, and Ji Ning suddenly disappeared in front of the gate. In the instant he was engulfed, Ji Ning's eyes were wide with shock.

  "Oh, I forgot to tell him that entering the Temple of War is done directly by teleportation." The black cow saw Ji Ning's staring expression and also stared back with its cow eyes, then chuckled.

  ******

  In the blink of an eye.

  They arrived at a boundless and vast land, the mud on the ground seemed to be stained with blood, and in front of them stood a towering high tower, whose gate was flickering with a faint white light.

  "Huh?" Ji Ning's eyes immediately landed on a large yellow bear standing not far away.

  "Senior." Ji Ning bowed respectfully.

  The big yellow bear nodded slightly, its originally cold expression seemed to have decreased a lot, and its attitude also became more friendly: "Reaching the realm of Tao at the age of five is rare even among the gods and demons. Tell me, which layer of the War God Temple do you want to challenge?"

  "Can I still choose?" Ji Ning asked in astonishment.

  "Of course, you can choose! For example, the master of this Water Palace was wandering outside and came back at the Yuanshen stage. Moreover, he only had two chances to wander around, so naturally, he wouldn't choose the first layer." The yellow big bear said, "You can now directly choose the highest tenth layer of the War God Temple, but even if the trial of the War God Temple is not intended to kill people, that remaining bit of fluctuation will instantly turn you into powder, leaving no soul behind."

  Ji Ning blinked her eyes.

  Alright.

  The tenth floor?

  Lian Yunhua didn't even pass the seventh layer until he became a loose immortal! The power of the tenth layer is simply unthinkable. Ji Ning could only sigh that the ancient gods who created this Water Mansion were too formidable.

  "I choose the first floor." Ji Ning said honestly, according to what the black cow had said, before he had grasped the Rainwater Sword Domain, he might not have even made it through one floor, which showed just how difficult the first floor was.

  "Hmm." The big yellow bear nodded. "It's considered solid. You're a first-timer, so this trial will be the easiest one for you."

  "What's the easiest?" Ji Ning was taken aback.

  The yellow big bear's fluffy paws instantly grabbed Ji Ning's arm, and in an instant, Ji Ning and the yellow big bear arrived at the gate of that towering high tower. The misty white light of the tower gate, Ji Ning and the yellow big bear stepped in, and they went in.

  This is a thousand feet high. A vast white space of several thousand feet in diameter, with only one floating door at the back.

  "This is the first floor of the Temple of War Gods." The yellow big bear said, Ji Ning immediately looked around carefully, the first floor of the Temple of War Gods? Where is the dangerous test?

  "Look." The big yellow bear stood beside him pointing ahead.

  Ji Ning looked in the direction pointed by the yellow big bear, and saw that a black wooden stake had appeared out of thin air in the distance. The stake was about as thick as Ji Ning's thigh and about one zhang high, standing upright there.

  "Wooden stake?" Ji Ning was taken aback.

  "The trial I give you is much easier than the one I gave to Jiu Hua and Lei Zhan." said the yellow big bear. "The first trial of the War God Temple is... before this incense stick burns out, cut down that wooden stake!" A incense stick also appeared in the yellow big bear's palm, about a foot high.

  "Should we burn it first? Cut down this wooden stake?" Ji Ning looked at the stake.

  No wonder the Ling of the cave said it was the easiest test. Easier than Jiu Hua and Lei Zhan's! Indeed, it's just chopping wood stakes. There is no danger at all. And the wooden stakes are standing there stupidly, not even resisting.

  "It has begun." said the big yellow bear, and a stick of incense also appeared on the ground not far away, already lit.

  "A stick of incense..."

  Ji Ning didn't dare waste time.

  With a flash, he darted to the front of the wooden stake. Although it was just a wooden stake, blindly attacking it directly would be foolish. It's better to take out some time to investigate first... and see where this wooden stake is easier to break. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy will increase the chances of victory. The wooden stake was all black, with circular patterns on its surface.

  "Is it easier to follow the texture of the wood?" Ji Ning thought to herself.

  "Cheers!"

  Ji Ning's hand emerged with the North Ming Sword, and his internal divine power and Zifu Yuanli completely burst out. A soft whooshing sound was heard as a fine misty rain appeared around him, like silk threads that wrapped around him, refreshing and comfortable. However, this also made the aura of the 'Dao' around Ji Ning much stronger.

  "Silk Rain Like Threads!" Ji Ning came out with his strongest move.

  Wow!

  Ji Ning's sword light flashed and disappeared into thin air, completely merging with the surrounding drizzle of fine rain. Ji Ning's sword light also transformed into a strand of silk-like rain, as soft as silk yet razor-sharp, instantly cutting through the wooden stake.

  "Bang!" Only a faint white mark appeared on the wooden stake, and with a rush of rainwater, the white mark disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

  Ji Ning's tiger mouth suddenly cracked open due to the strong counter-shock, and he retreated three steps in an instant. However, his palm and tiger mouth instantly recovered completely.

  "It's just a white mark, this wooden stake is indeed extremely tough, it's hard to break it within the time of one incense stick." Ji Ning instantly moved forward and struck with another sword.

  A sword as thin as silk and thread.

  Sword merged in silk rain...

  Boom!

  The moment the wood stake was touched, a strong impact sound was produced again. This time, Ji Ning was precise in splitting along the grain, although he was still shaken back. However, to his surprise, Ji Ning discovered that there was a very small wound on the wood stake, which was almost negligible, but after all, there was already a wound.

  "With this sword, unleashed with the Rainwater Sword Domain... I'm afraid it's comparable to the 9th layer of the Xiao Qian Sword Array. And yet, it's just like that." Ji Ning's heart was also shocked, "If not for the Rainwater Sword Domain, I really wouldn't have been able to deal with him."

  Ji Ning was well aware that in the Rain Sword Domain, he had become like a tiger with added wings, and his swordsmanship had increased by several levels.
