A Corpse

"Call!"

Immediately following, a white Blazing Flame, even more terrifying than the black Blazing Flame, erupted from the core of the Dragon Ball.

"Master, be careful!"

"This... this is a chaotic Blazing Flame rarely seen in the world!"

"Blazing Flame born at the same time as the Chaos Stone, created simultaneously by heaven and earth."

"This has transcended the Origin of fire!"

The Medicine Spirit, who was nearby, immediately noticed something amiss.

He quickly reminded Ning Qi.

"Oh?"

"So, am I lucky or unlucky?"

Ning Qi smiled upon hearing Medicine Spirit's words.

At this moment, he showed no fear whatsoever.

On the contrary, I felt very excited.

"Master, this might be related to your refining of the Fire Origin and your use of Boundless Evil Qi!"

"Most importantly, you used my master's original Red Fire Immortal Art!"

"This might be the key that, when combined, summoned this almost extinct Chaos Blazing Flame."

After hearing Ning Qi's words, Medicine Spirit immediately began to analyze the situation.

"Never mind all that, since we're here, we'll leave them here to be refined by me!"

Ning Qi waved his hand, and water Water Runes immediately began to spread around him.

They remained completely calm in the face of the raging white Blazing Flame.

They immediately began refining it.

At first, the white Blazing Flame were able to hold their own against him for a while.

However, the ripples on the Water Runes continuously refracted its Blazing Flame.

Its Blazing Flame couldn't harm Ning Qi at all.

After several attempts, Ning Qi had become a master at utilizing Water Runes.

He deliberately refracted the stronger part of the Blazing Flame fluctuations to other places, while the weaker part...

It reflected back without fear, allowing him to continue refining it.

In this way, the white Blazing Flame posed no threat to him whatsoever.

And so they continued their unbridled refining.

As he refined the flames, the white Blazing Flame before him gradually weakened.

Time began to pass slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Qi had completely refined the Dragon Ball.

"Call!"

He took a deep breath, and even that breath carried a hint of Blazing Flame.

Blazing Flame also surged within his eyes.

Slowly stretching out his legs from the void, he turned his gaze to the black dragon beneath his feet.

"Come!"

Ning Qi simply waved at the black dragon's corpse.

The entire dragon suddenly swayed and floated up.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, it rapidly vanished into nothingness.

Streaks of black starlight began to converge into Ning Qi's hands.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand-foot-long black dragon completely merged into Ning Qi's palm.

"Come out!"

Immediately following, Ning Qi waved his hand, and a white dragon, only a few inches in size, reformed from his palm.

"Master, this is..."

Medicine Spirit had no idea what Ning Qi had done to condense a white dragon.

"The black dragon from before was formed from the Origin of fire."

"However, I believe that before this, the true form of the Fire Origin was this black dragon."

"Now that I've refined the Origin of fire, it naturally belongs to me."

"Now that I've refined the Chaos Blazing Flame, it has naturally turned white!"

Ning Qi patiently explained to Medicine Spirit, then sighed and looked ahead.

At this moment, a passage appeared in front of them.

A ray of light descended from above.

Clearly, the light was shining down from upstairs, signaling him to go to the second floor.

"Master, should we still go?"

Medicine Spirit was already having second thoughts.

Just one layer is already difficult to deal with; if we go up there, who knows what other troubles might arise.

"Go! Why don't you go!"

"I've already had such a great fortuitous opportunity on the first floor, what if I get even greater fortuitous opportunity if I go up?"

Ning Qi, on the other hand, was also very curious about the second floor, and as he spoke, he sped off towards it.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in the glow of the sunset.

"Whoosh!"

Then, with a loud bang, Ning Qi vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already on the second floor.

"Call!"

He took a deep breath and looked at everything on the second floor.

Unlike the first floor, it's been a while since I was teleported here, but there's still no sign of me being teleported to the Trial Land.

What happened?

Not only Ning Qi, but even Medicine Spirit found it very strange.

Surprisingly, I wasn't teleported out after I came up.

"The teleportation is no longer working. Look at this Teleportation Formation; it's clearly been destroyed!"

Ning Qi quickly noticed something amiss and pointed to the Teleportation Formation on the ground.

The Formation has been broken, and even the Spirit Stone and Spirit Marrow on it have been taken away.

Clearly, there's no hope for the second level of the trial.

"What a pity."

Looking at the destroyed Teleportation Formation, Medicine Spirit couldn't help but show a look of regret.

But I was actually very happy.

He hated the trials; they were completely disrupting his treasure hunt.

"Let's go check out the third floor!"

"I was hoping to find something on the second floor, but it seems there's no hope!"

Ning Qi sighed and then walked up the stairs to the third floor.

"Master, look what they're saying!"

At this moment, Medicine Spirit was at the second-floor window, looking down at the doorway through the window lattice.

It was those few people who came up later.

Hearing this, Ning Qi became interested and followed him to the window lattice, looking down.

"What do you think is the purpose of this Trial Land?"

"Do we need to go in?"

A young man, who had just come out of the treasure pavilion across the street, looked at the Demon-Locking Tower and asked a question.

"I don't know. According to the records, this place is actually Trial Land."

"There's a powerful demon on every floor!"

"I just don't know how strong they are!"

"This sect has been destroyed for who knows how long. Even if you pass the trial after entering, there are no rewards!"

The other person shook his head and said, "Let's go, there's nothing left here."

"Then why don't we wait for the person who just came in, who's been inside for two hours, to come out and ask him what happened?"

There was another person who clearly didn't want to leave just like that, and couldn't help but ask.

"I have a feeling that he is very likely dead inside."

The man sighed and continued, "To be called a Great Demon by a sect, one's strength must be extraordinary."

"He just went in like that; he'll be lucky to escape with his life, if not dead."

"Alright, let's go then."

"There's nothing left to look for here!"

"Yes, let's go!"

"..."

After discussing it, the group decided to leave.

"Master, that black dragon was actually a powerful demon from the first level of the Demon-Sealing Tower!"

"Even on just one level, there are powerful demons at the Divine Beast level. Anyone who can come here must be exceptionally strong!"

Medicine Spirit looked at Ning Qi and couldn't help but say something.

"Let's go up and see what's on the third floor."

"If we can win, we'll continue; if we can't, we'll retreat!"

Ning Qi also realized the trickery involved in each of these levels.

The Origin of fire is just an illusion; the truly powerful one is the black dragon.

If it weren't for a fortunate way to restrain myself, I probably would have had to leave this place by now.

"Good!"

Hearing Ning Qi say this, Medicine Spirit felt relieved.

If you can't win, then retreat; that's the wise thing to do.

After he agreed, Ning Qi went straight to the stairwell.

We quickly reached the third floor.

"Call!"

When we got to the third floor, it was still empty.

Like the second floor, the Formation had also been destroyed, making teleportation impossible.

"Great! Now we can go to the fourth floor!"

Medicine Spirit clapped his hands and danced with joy.

"We were just lucky!"

"If we can go directly to the seventh floor, it means that a part of this Inheritance will be ours!"

Ning Qi grinned, then turned his attention upstairs.

They continued upstairs with the Medicine Spirit.

The two quickly reached the fourth floor.

"Master, just like the two floors below, they've all been destroyed."

"Was this done on purpose?"

After arriving, Medicine Spirit went straight to the Teleportation Formation, only to find Teleportation Formation it, too, had been destroyed.

It's impossible to teleport there; in fact, the damage is even more severe than the two floors below.

"It's a real shame about those people downstairs; if they had teamed up and come up to the whole floor together..."

"Wouldn't it be much easier to climb up now!"

Ning Qi smiled and looked downstairs again.

Those people had already moved far away from the two towers and were heading back the way they came.

"They were just unlucky!"

The Medicine Spirit chuckled first, then continued, "Master, if the great demons on each level can be teleported, doesn't that mean the flame Origin we just absorbed... will be taken back?"

"No, I can feel it, the power within me is still there!"

"The Origin Power is still under my control!"

Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "It's very possible that everyone who comes in is teleported to a different location."

"Who cares, as long as it's still there!"

"Why don't we just go down and come right back to check on the situation?"

Medicine Spirit thought for a moment, then decided to stop worrying about it and pointed upstairs. "Master, let's go. Let's go check out the fifth floor!"

"Good!"

Ning Qi nodded, then led Medicine Spirit up towards the fifth floor.

When the two returned to the fifth floor, they discovered that the Formation there had also been destroyed.

Moreover, this area suffered the most severe damage; if it weren't for the walls of the Demon-Sealing Tower providing support, this entire floor would have collapsed.

"Continue."

Ning Qi glanced at it once and went straight upstairs.

When I got to the sixth floor, I found it was the same as the floors below.

Clearly, it was all deliberately sabotaged.

"Master, you mentioned the seventh level. Could it be that the Inheritance has already been taken by someone else?"

"This place has been completely destroyed; those upstairs are probably in grave danger as well."

Seeing that the sixth floor had become like this, Medicine Spirit immediately showed a look of disappointment.

If that's the case, then they've miscalculated.

It's better to just leave here.

"Not necessarily, let's go up and take a look!"

"Didn't the person on the seventh floor say back down that no one has ever come up here?"

Ning Qi shook his head, a resolute expression on his face. "I think we need to be prepared this time!"

"Okay! Let's give it a try!"

After Medicine Spirit agreed, she followed.

The two quickly reached the last floor.

Upon reaching this floor, their eyes lit up.

It's no longer empty.

Against the wall, there was an altar, and to one side, a corpse.

On the other side of the offering table was an ordinary wooden table, covered in dust.

There was nothing else besides that.

"Master, it seems this place is no longer of any value."

"The most valuable part is the first floor."

Medicine Spirit looked at everything before her and couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

I never expected that this would be the case on the last floor.

"Not necessarily, we'll see!"

Ning Qi did not give up and came over to the offering table to look at the offerings on it.

Only an incense burner remained; everything else was gone.

There was also a broken memorial tablet.

Besides that, there were corpses not far away.

Ning Qi approached the corpse and examined it closely.

His clothes were tattered and torn, leaving only a pile of bones.

Upon closer inspection, there is also a Storage Bag at the waist.

Ning Qi's eyes lit up, and he bent down to take down his Storage Bag.

When Divine Sense explored it, it was actually pushed out by an invisible force.

He wasn't given a chance to explore at all.

"Huh?"

Ning Qi let out a soft exclamation and once again activated his Divine Sense to continue exploring its interior.

However, this time he was still pushed out, without giving him a chance to investigate.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing Ning Qi like this, Medicine Spirit curiously came over to check on him.

"This Storage Bag has Restriction."

"Let me see what's inside!"

Ning Qi smiled and then began to manipulate the Water Runes.

Visible Water Runes began to flow into it, and in a short while, the Restriction on the Storage Bag were broken.

As he explored with his Divine Sense, he quickly discovered the clues within.

Although there weren't many things in this Storage Bag, there was an Ancient Books inside.

Besides the Ancient Books, there was also a set of armor.

Ning Qi took it out directly.

First, go and read this Ancient Books.

He discovered he didn't recognize the character either.

"Take a look, do you recognize him?"

Ning Qi handed it over to Medicine Spirit for research, while he focused his attention on the armor.

"Master, this Ancient Books is about Formation Restriction."

"They've gathered all the Formation Restriction from across the land, and categorized them accordingly."

"Once you've mastered Major Completion, there won't be Restriction Formation in the world that you can't break!"

"There's even an explanation of this armor set inside!"

Before Ning Qi could figure out what the armor was all about, Medicine Spirit explained it to him first.

"All the Formation Restriction in the world?"

Ning Qi immediately became interested after hearing what Medicine Spirit said.

"Yes, but I'll need to explain all the text to you."

"Give me some time. After I've explained everything clearly, you can watch it!"

Medicine Spirit nodded, then pointed to his armor and said, "Next, I'll explain the origin of this armor!"

"Alright, you can translate the Restriction later."

"Give it to me all at once after you've figured it out!"

Ning Qi now understands just how useful it is to have an High Antiquity Medicine Spirit.

"Okay!"

Medicine Spirit readily agreed.

He was also happy that he could be of use.

"So, what's the deal with this set of armor?"

Ning Qi pointed to the armor in his hand and then asked.
