Surviving the Calamity
True Martial Spirit World.
On the square of the Alchemy Palace.
The Holy Ancestor and several others were gathered together, discussing something.
"I haven't heard from him for several days. Is there something wrong?"
Hai Zu couldn't contain himself any longer and analyzed the situation with a few others, saying, "Why don't I go look for him and provide backup?"
"Don't go for now. If he's being watched, and we go to contact him, wouldn't that just be sending him for nothing?"
The Holy Ancestor shook his head and sighed, "He's a lucky man, he'll be fine!"
All we need to do is wait patiently for him to come back and not cause him any trouble.
"I feel that Fellow Daoist Ning should be alright as well."
"His strength is evident to all, and he also possesses the 'If Water Three Thousand Formation '."
"If there's any real problem, we'll definitely leave safely."
Wei Xian still trusted Ning Qi quite a bit.
After all, he had fought Ning Qi before, and Ning Qi had shown that he was far superior to others of the same realm in both Daoist techniques and Immortal Power.
"If all else fails, we can just go there!"
"I'll go with Haizu; let's see if we can find any trace of him."
"Find out what's going on and come back. Just avoid contact with him!"
Lin Chen looked at everyone and then joined in the suggestion.
He was also uneasy because he hadn't heard from Ning Qi for several days.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have gone so long without contacting everyone.
Something unusual must be going on.
"Alright then, since everyone wants to go, we can't let you go."
"I'll go with Fellow Daoist Wei!"
"Hai Zu and Fellow Daoist Lin, you two stay here."
Seeing that Lin Chen also said so, the Holy Ancestor thought about it seriously and said...
His strength is relatively stronger than Wei Xian's, so they should definitely act together.
"Alright then, you can go ahead!"
"If there are any real problems, then we'll go for it!"
Hai Zu nodded after hearing his words: "I heard him mention it when I contacted him before."
"They led these people eastward, to the vicinity of the Blackwater Zone in the Boundary Sea."
"Yes, I asked him too, and Fellow Daoist Wei and I started looking in this direction."
"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off now!"
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Wei Xian no longer objected and agreed directly.
Take care, everyone!
Lin Chen then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two of them.
"Don't be so down, we'll be back soon!"
The Holy Ancestor laughed loudly, then waved his hand. "Fellow Daoist Wei, let's go!"
"Good!"
After Wei Xian agreed, he and the Holy Ancestor flew away together.
The two of them vanished into thin air in an instant.
The Fifteenth District of the Boundary Sea, the Blackwater Region of the Eastern Area.
Within a hundred miles of the fog zone.
Ning Qi's Flying Vessel was still hovering in the void above the Boundary Sea, and the surroundings were still pitch black.
Only his Flying Vessel was flashing with red light.
This is not the red glow of Immortal-Demon Power, but the red light of burning Blazing Flame.
At this moment, the surrounding black water began to boil from the steam.
After being atomized again, it condensed back into black water.
Ning Qi remained seated cross-legged aboard the Flying Vessel, and the rotting flesh on his body was no longer visible.
Upon closer inspection, they had all fallen onto the deck of Flying Vessel Flying Vessel, which still emitted a stench of decay.
It all emanated from Ning Qi's side.
"Now! Swallow the elixir!"
Seeing that Ning Qi's entire body was starting to burn with Blazing Flame, Medicine Spirit quickly reminded Ning Qi.
"Good!"
Ning Qi's hoarse voice came through, followed by a wave of his hand.
"Call out!"
The elixir was brought to his lips, and he swallowed it in one gulp.
After the elixir was swallowed, the Blazing Flame within Ning Qi's body were instantly suppressed.
These Blazing Flame began to relentlessly burn the elixir within his body.
"I see!"
Ning Qi also sensed the elixir being refined by the Blazing Flame and immediately understood what was happening.
"Big brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"This elixir can only be refined by the Blazing Flame of the Crimson Lotus, combined with the Red Fire Immortal Art!"
The three of them complement each other; none of them can be missing.
"While you were refining them, the divine poison within your body was utterly insignificant."
"On the second day of your cultivation of the Red Fire Immortal Art, the divine poison was completely refined!"
The Medicine Spirit said smugly to Ning Qi, "Now, as you withstand the Blazing Flame of the Red Fire Immortal Art and refine the elixir, you'll gain two benefits."
"First, the Blazing Flame attribute of the Crimson Lotus will be permanently imprisoned within your body by your Red Fire Immortal Art, becoming deeply ingrained."
"Secondly, the Blazing Flame have only just been refined and controlled by you, and they haven't yet submitted to you. Even without your control, they will still come to refine this elixir."
"That is precisely why the elixir consumed the raging Blazing Flame within your body, ultimately making them work for you."
"Okay! Let's go!"
Ning Qi listened to Medicine Spirit's words and began to let the Blazing Flame within his body refine the elixir on their own.
This process was no longer so painful for him.
These past two days, while cultivating the immortal technique, I've also been Spirit Transformation poison and enduring the ravages of the Crimson Lotus's Blazing Flame.
It caused him immense suffering, but it also made Ning Qi indifferent to the torment he was enduring.
Compared to the previous two days, this is nothing.
And so, time continued to flow.
Two days later, the red glow on Ning Qi's body had dissipated.
Instead, it turned his entire body into a bronze color.
Like cast steel, his muscle lines became more defined.
Especially when it opened its eyes, streaks of red light flashed.
A beam of light burst forth from within.
"Call!"
Ning Qi finally moved, reaching out with both hands.
Observe the changes in yourself.
"Is this the power of the Red Fire Immortal Art?"
Ning Qi examined his Dantian and body internally and discovered that his internal condition had undergone tremendous changes.
After his body was tempered by If Water Three Thousand's pressure, it had already undergone a qualitative breakthrough.
This time, after being tempered by the Crimson Lotus and the Red Fire Immortal Art, his physique became even stronger.
His entire being, from the inside out, was like a piece of chaotic stone.
It gives people a feeling of being so powerful as to be indestructible.
"If it weren't for the Boundless Evil Qi protecting me, I probably wouldn't have succeeded so easily."
Ning Qi waved his hand, and a Evil Qi shimmering with black light appeared in his palm.
At the very center of this Evil Qi, a flicker of crimson flame danced.
With Ning Qi's control, the crimson flames instantly began to flare up.
Like a child, it was throbbing excitedly in his palm.
Evil Qi merges with crimson flames.
His previous strength was already invincible within the True Immortal.
So what about now?
My cultivation system is different from theirs, so I can't compare my strength to theirs.
However, if I were to encounter Dao Bu Jin again, would I really be forced to run all over the world for my life?
Ning Qi's eyes flickered as he looked back the way he had come.
It was still pitch black here, but the difference was that he could vaguely see through the black water ahead, thanks to his own eyesight.
"Brother, once Major Completion the Red Fire Immortal Art, you can see through all illusion."
"This little bit of black water won't obstruct your view at all."
The Medicine Spirit, controlling its elixir, leaped onto Ning Qi 'Ning Qi shoulder and said, "You can go back from here!"
"Oh? You can see through it?"
Ning Qi turned his head and looked at the Medicine Spirit on his shoulder.
"Yes, it can be seen through."
"Isn't this the way we came from?"
Medicine Spirit nodded, pointing to the road ahead. "And I can also sense that someone is waiting for you up ahead."
"Are we going back from here?"
"No."
Ning Qi shook his head. "I went through all this trouble just to lure them here."
"If I go back now, even if I escape, they'll still be able to track me down."
"Instead of doing that, let them think I'm right here!"
"Huh? What do we do then?"
"We can't go too far, can we?"
Hearing his words, Medicine Spirit looked back and said, "If we continue forward, there will be Twisted Monsters."
"Moreover, the black water is becoming increasingly dense; with your current strength, you simply cannot stop it."
We don't need to keep going in.
"This place spans both District 15 and District 14. Can't I just walk sideways towards District 14?"
Ning Qi pointed in a direction and said with a smile, "Go this way, then I'll go back around."
"Traveling through wormholes will be very convenient then."
"Oh! You startled me."
I thought you were going inside!
Medicine Spirit breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his explanation.
"If it were before, I wouldn't have dared to walk like this!"
"However, I've now cultivated the Red Fire Immortal Art, and I should be fine staying within this hundred-mile radius."
Ning Qi looked ahead and then said, "Let's go, let these idiots wait here."
"They'll give up eventually, and then my goal will be achieved."
"Good!"
Even if Medicine Spirit doesn't agree, there's nothing she can do.
He was nothing more than a weak Medicine Spirit; without Ning Qi's protection, he could only wait to die.
It's only a matter of time before they're corroded by this black water.
Therefore, we have no choice but to obey his every word.
Ning Qi continued to maneuver his Flying Vessel forward, heading towards the fourteenth district.
Even after he left, Dao Bu Jin, outside the Blackwater District, still had a furrowed brow.
"Palace Master, it's been almost ten days. Is there any need for us to wait any longer?"
"Yes, he's probably still dead inside!"
"..."
Several guards came over and asked them questions.
They've already wasted quite a bit of time here.
There's no need for us to stay any longer.
Anyone who has survived in here for so long has most likely been corrupted by the Twisted Monsters.
"Let's go, I can no longer feel his presence."
After experiencing Dao Bu Jin feelings, he sighed.
He then waved his hand, ordering his troops to begin their retreat.
"Yes!"
"..."
The guards, who had been itching to get going, immediately took off in their Flying Vessel as soon as he gave the order.
After so many days of waiting, I'm finally free.
After the Flying Vessel turned around, Dao Bu Jin still glanced back at the black water area behind him.
His brows were still furrowed; he always felt that Ning Qi was still alive.
However, this is the Blackwater region, and he has been inside for so long, and he has also been poisoned by his own divine poison.
How could he possibly be alive?
After Dao Bu Jin reflection, I stopped thinking about it.
Sitting on the deck, he let his men steer the Flying Vessel back the way it came.
This time, he lost half of his men.
Several Flying Vessel were lost, but there were still some gains.
At least this person who disregarded the Immortal Selection Pavilion has already been driven to his death.
This matter is now considered closed.
Several days after they left, another Flying Vessel arrived outside the turbulent area of the meteorite.
There were two people on the deck: Wei Xian and the Holy Ancestor.
"Strange, he disappeared after we got here."
The Holy Ancestor frowned as he looked at this scene.
"Look, there are signs of a fight!"
Wei Xian pointed to the Meteorite Region ahead and quickly steered their Flying Vessel to speed over.
It can be seen that some of these meteorites have been decorated with Formation.
"The If Water Three Thousand Formation!"
The Holy Lord recognized Ning Qi's Formation at a glance, and a look of worry immediately appeared on his face. He began to search for traces around him.
However, apart from the damaged Flying Vessel and a faint smell of blood, nothing else was found.
"We've tried contacting him by voice for the past two days, but he hasn't replied."
"Could something really have happened?"
Looking at the Battlefield ahead, Wei Xian also began to worry.
"Yes, it's been twenty days, and there's still no news!"
The same applies to the Holy Ancestor; if someone hasn't been heard from for so long, something must have happened.
Upon arriving at the Battlefield and witnessing the horrific scene, the two became even more uneasy.
"Call!"
"We have news!"
At this moment, Wei Xian suddenly exclaimed and quickly took out his Sound Transmission Jade Pendant.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, Ning Qi's illusory figure appeared directly in front of the two of them.
"Hey kid, where have you been?! We were all so worried!"
Upon seeing Ning Qi, the Holy Ancestor immediately inquired about his whereabouts.
His face was full of worry.
"We've been chased to the Blackwater region; communication here is ineffective!"
Ning Qi's illusory body swayed, revealing a look of relief. "So I've been fleeing along the Blackwater area towards District Fourteen."
"After speeding around here for days, we're finally out! Where are you all? This doesn't look like the True Martial!"
"We are in a meteorite turbulence zone within the blackwater and gray fog areas."
"There are many broken meteorites and the Formation you set up here. You fought them here before, right?"
Wei Xian waved the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant around the area to show Ning Qi the situation.
"That's right, this is the place. Have all the people from the Immortal Selection Pavilion left?"
"You need to be careful, don't let them target you!"
After Ning Qi agreed, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but show a worried expression.
"No, don't worry, we've already scouted the area. There are only the two of us within a radius of several hundred miles!"
The Holy Lord smiled, then asked, "You just said you've arrived in the Fourteenth Region? Can you return to our True Martial Spirit World now?"
"Yes, but wait a bit. I need to return to the Blackwater region after contacting you in the Gray Fog area!"
Ning Qi nodded, and then continued.
"Huh? Why do we have to go back?"
It's dangerous inside!
Wei Xian looked at Ning Qi with confusion, and hurriedly reminded him, "Let's find a wormhole to teleport back."
