"Unfortunately, I haven't truly gained the recognition of the Cave Spirit yet." Ji Ning understood this point. That yellow-haired great bear kept many secrets from him and let him struggle to survive on his own. If he really died in the process... it would be just like Yi Hua Xianren or Lei Zhan - dead was dead. The Cave Spirit would simply wait for its next master. Even that Three Lifetimes Daoist said that Ji Ning had to become a 'Heavenly God' before he could be considered his disciple. Clearly, Ji Ning's current strength was still insufficient.

  "That's right, the stronger one is, the more attention they get. Compared to when I first met the spirit of the cave, he's much kinder to me now." Ji Ning could clearly remember the first time she saw Huang Mao Xiong, who didn't pay much attention to her at all.

  Ji Ning's mind flashed with these thoughts, and then suppressed them.

  Don't think too much!

  The most important thing now is to defeat this divine demon's incarnation!

  "I've heard that some powerful gods and demons can create a clone just by plucking out one of their hairs." Ji Ning looked at the Golden Armored God in the distance and said loudly, "However, according to legend, the clone created from that single hair is extremely weak... I'm afraid your clone is also very weak."

  The Golden Armor God General's face changed slightly, and Ji Ning touched his weakness. Yes, this incarnation of him only had a thread of divine power change, even the weapon in his hand was an illusion created by divine power.

  Compared to his divine body alone, this clone's divine body is even weaker than Jining's!

  But...

  He is after all much higher than him in the realm of Tao.

  "If I were the real deal, just a single puff of breath would be enough to blow you into dust!" The Golden Armor God's eyes had an air of arrogance. "Even if it's just a strand of divine power condensed into a clone, the weakest of clones... can still handle you... Hmph!"

  "It was blown into powder in one breath. It seems that his true body is indeed very powerful, no wonder I felt such a sense of threat when looking at him, and the faint sense of threat must have been brought by his true body." Ji Ning thought to himself.

  Ji Ning's heart moved slightly.

  Boom!

  The Sea of Consciousness Divine Soul unfolded the Shocking God Seal, and in an instant, his divine thoughts took the Shocking God Seal as the axis and surged out directly, rolling divine thoughts directly crushing forward to that Golden Armored Divine General.

  "Hum~~~" The rolling divine thought was like hitting a very hard reef, colliding and passing by. Although the divine thought was vast, it couldn't compare to the hardness of the reef.

  "Haha, divine thought?" The Golden Armor God sneered and shook his head, "My divine power contains a hint of divine soul, although it's extremely small, but in essence, it's much higher than yours. Even if your divine thought is ten times stronger, you can't shake me. Kid, go ahead and use whatever method you have, don't blame me for not giving you the chance later."

  The Golden Armor God appears arrogant but is actually meticulous.

  Because of the legendary place... he also had a curious and cautious heart: "The rumored god master is here, how can I deal with a little doll, so weak and small, what's the origin of this little doll and what's the relationship with the god master? However, his divine soul was quite strong, not yet at the yuan Shen level, and yet his divine soul was so powerful."

  Although he is powerful, when it comes to the legendary divine master, he also needs to look up with reverence and fear that a single glance from that one-armed divine master can make him disappear.

  Ji Ning thought that Jin Jia Shen was mysterious.

  Jin Jia thought that Ji Ning was mysterious too.

  "It would have been enough to let a puppet fight you. However, you indeed have the potential to inherit your master's legacy and dominate the three realms in the future... Since that's the case, I'll also let you experience some things ahead of time."

  Letting Ji Ning vaguely touch some secrets would instead trigger Ji Ning's strong desire to become stronger.

  "Awesome."

  "It's been a very, very long time since I've encountered those ancient powerful beings." The big yellow bear also had the same longing, he too had been lonely for far too long.

  Inside the third floor of the Temple of War God.

  Ji Ning was thinking urgently about a solution: "He is just a weak and small part of a powerful existence, his advantage lies in his extremely high comprehension of the Tao, while his weakness is that he is only a strand of divine power condensed. Because he has left his original body, like water without a source, his divine power will be consumed and cannot be regenerated."

  The way of battle is also to use one's own strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses!

  "Consume his spiritual energy!" Ji Ning immediately took action.

  Whoosh!

  Not charging forward, but swiftly retreating to pull back the distance. At the same time, more than 700 flying swords appeared around Ji Ning, and the late-stage Wanxiang's yuan force was immediately infused into each flying sword. In an instant, these flying swords all slightly fluctuated, and after sensing the Dao again, the deployment of the Small Thousand Swords Array became much easier.

  "The Ninth Layer of the Xiao Qian Sword Array." A flying sword as white as jade directly condensed in front of Ji Ning.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  A white jade flying sword condensed and formed a handle, swiftly flew towards that golden armored god general in the distance.

  "This sword array is indeed mysterious, but unfortunately, the person using it is too weak." The Golden Armor God General held two large divine hammers in his hands, looking extremely leisurely as he strolled over. However, each of his steps seemed to traverse hundreds of feet in an instant, even faster than Ji Ning's Windwing Escape Technique.

  "Lotus in Water and Fire."

  Ji Ning was single-minded and had two uses.

  Manipulating the Small Thousand Swords Array while displaying the Water Fire Lotus Flower.

  Only saw blooming open a few lotus flowers, directly in the Golden Armor God's surroundings blooming, huge lotus leaves also crazily entwining and binding the opponent.

  "Troublesome." Jin Jia Shen furrowed his brow, and with a loud crash, his massive hammer smashed forward, instantly creating a wave-like ripple. Wherever it passed, the Water Fire Lotus flower shattered layer by layer, its leaves crumbling one after another until it was completely destroyed.

  "Has he destroyed just one lotus flower?" Jin Jia Shen Jiang was secretly shocked.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  A white jade sword tip flew in, like a brush stroke, each one was simple and extremely introverted, but it made the Golden Armor God General feel extremely apprehensive: "Sword path? And what a sharp and frightening swordsmanship."

  "Clang." The Golden Armor God wielded a pair of divine hammers, each time blocking Ji Ning's sword edge, the divine hammers would tremble slightly. Because these divine hammers were simply condensed from divine power and not true treasures.

  Clang.

  Clang.

  Facing the water-fire lotus flower with its cold, icy flames, facing the numerous sword tips of the Small Thousand Swords Formation, the Golden Armor God General was momentarily at a loss...

  At the time of the Great Wilderness Prison, the Small Thousand Swords Array was not as good as Ji Ning's close combat, but previously at the Black and White Academy, Ji Ning had advanced from the early stage of Wanxiang to the late stage in one breath! The increase in yuan power allowed Ji Ning to once again display the Small Thousand Swords Array... its power also jumped two levels, and even compared to Ji Ning's close combat, it was very close.

  "Although this incarnation of his is weak, he can still withstand my multiple methods." Ji Ning's face turned cold, the Northern Frost Sword disappeared into thin air, and then a black longbow appeared.

  This black large bow is a ground-level magic bow and arrow, which can only be considered ordinary goods, without any special power attached.

  Some legendary divine bows, Ki Ning is hard to find.

  But...

  This land's law treasure, divine bow, is still enough to let Ji Ning's strength be fully displayed.

  "Plucking Star Hand!" Ji Ning instantly executed Plucking Star Hand, one hand grasping the bow body and the other pulling the bowstring, with an arrow on the string...

  Wow.

  The bowstring is drawn tight.

  Ji Ning's eyes, like lightning, gazed into the distance. Drawing his bow and shooting arrows didn't require much mental effort; it was more a matter of spiritual energy. Therefore, Ji Ning could easily draw his bow and shoot arrows while simultaneously controlling the Waterfire Lotus and the Small Thousand Swords Array.

  "Whoosh!"

  An arrow flashed by, and in an instant it pierced through the void, arriving before the Golden Armor God General.

  "Not good." Jin Jia Shen Jiang was shocked. The speed of this arrow was even faster than the sword tips of the small thousand swords array, and he couldn't even block it.

  "Boom!"

  The giant hammer in his hand suddenly shook and cracked, and then quickly recovered. The Golden Armor God General even retreated several steps back.

  The power of the bow and arrow... is actually accumulated strength, concentrated in a single arrow. In terms of instantaneous burst, it's naturally stronger than Qin Ning's close combat. However, the weakness of arrows is that they're not flexible enough; if the enemy can dodge, the arrow is essentially wasted.

  But Ji Ning and the Golden Armor God were only a few hundred zhang apart! With Ji Ning's 'Stellar Hand' divine ability, the arrow shot out and traversed several hundred zhang in an instant, incredibly fast!

  There are also Water Fire Lotus and Small Thousand Swords Array beside it, binding and affecting it!

  These two major reasons make it impossible for Jin Jia Shen to directly dodge, and he must rely on his own means to resist.

  "Boom!"

  "Bang!"

  Every arrow carries the momentum of shattering a great mountain, striking with a loud crash.

  Next to him, the Water Fire Lotus that contained the cold and fierce fire was also not easy to mess with... The ninth layer of the Small Thousand Swords Formation that Wanxiang had laid out later was also not something to be trifled with... For a time, Jin Jia Shenjiang was at a loss for what to do, his divine power constantly being depleted.

  "If this continues, the divine power will be exhausted. This incarnation of mine will automatically disperse once the divine power is depleted." The Golden Armor God General knew he couldn't hesitate any longer.

  "Hiss!"

  Jin Jia Shen Jiang let out a loud roar.

  His entire body suddenly surged with golden light, and the large hammer in his hand transformed into a flowing light that directly shattered the surrounding small thousand sword array's radiance, Water Fire Lotus Flower. He charged straight at Ji Ning in the distance.

  "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

  Ji Ning simultaneously shot out four arrows!

  The arrows, under the influence of Ning's divine will, even had a faint curved trajectory, directly attacking the Golden Armor God General. The four arrows' attack made it impossible for the Golden Armor God General to dodge... He could only resist with all his might, and was directly blasted back.

  Water Fire Lotus, Small Thousand Sword Array sword awn entwined again, '...,

  One arrow after another, even more powerful, directly shot at him! The divine sense influences the arrow, making it even more mysterious and unpredictable. However, the power of the arrow is too great... Even the divine sense can only make fine adjustments.

  "You little thief, dare to engage in close combat with me!" The Golden Armor God General roared.

  "You lost."

  Ji Ning spoke in a low voice, and at the same time, four arrows shot out again. The Golden Armor God struggled to resist, but his entire body suddenly shook violently, and then he directly dissipated into nothingness. Before disappearing, he let out an angry roar, clearly unwilling to accept defeat.

  "Good." Ji Ning let out a breath of relief.

  "This demon is just a clone, yet it's so troublesome. I've used the Star Plucking Hand eighteen times in a row. My Small Thousand Swords Array has also unleashed thirty-nine sword lights." Ji Ning felt his divine power and yuan qi being greatly consumed, and couldn't help but secretly feel shocked.

  Whoosh.

  Ji Ning vanished into thin air.

  When everything around her became clear, Ji Ning found herself already in the main hall of Shui Fu.

  "You actually won with a bow and arrow?" Huang Mao Xiong looked at Ji Ning, his eyes also filled with incredulity. In his estimation, this battle should have been extremely difficult, the two of them should have engaged in a fierce close combat, and it was more likely that Ji Ning would lose.

  But the result is...

  He insisted on relying on his far-reaching skills with the bow and arrow, shooting down his opponent alive.

  "My master taught me divine abilities, except for close combat. I can also use bow and arrow to attack from a distance." Ji Ning said humbly, "I was also lucky to win."

  "Still lucky?" Huang Mao Xiong gazed through Ji Ning's inner pride and said, "Alright, you've passed the third level. You can go to the Treasure Hall and choose a first-grade treasure or an equivalent one. Go!"
