Chapter 657 The Strange Altar
Chapter 657 The Strange Altar
"However, we don't need to resist anymore; a major battle is about to break out here."
"At that point, who will care about whom?"
Li Qiuwan came to her senses and showed a relieved expression: "Next, we need to work hard to acquire my resources."
"The great war you're talking about, is it war with the demons?"
Hearing her say that, Ning Qi couldn't help but become curious.
This is what he most wanted to know when he came here.
Although he wouldn't tell the demons, he needed to understand the situation himself to make his next move.
"That's right, but not with the demons."
Li Qiuwan nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, who are they with? It can't be humans or demons, can it?"
Ning Qi persisted and continued to ask.
"I don't know either, but we do have missions to do."
"Their elders and sect leader would never tell us such crucial information."
"Therefore, we can only take it one step at a time."
Li Qiuwan sighed and said, "It won't be long before I feel this will be a catastrophe for this place."
"It will probably be very difficult to survive this catastrophe."
"Then I really need to take a look."
Hearing her say that, Ning Qi became interested.
However, he wasn't interested in their mission; he wanted to see what was going to happen here.
"Let's go back first. This time, we won't do any missions or take any risks."
"I have a feeling that this catastrophe is just around the corner."
Li Qiuwan looked ahead, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
Fortune favors the bold.
This is her chance; otherwise, she would have wasted her opportunity to come here.
Just as Young Master Ding said, we came here to make ourselves stronger.
If you're afraid, what's the point of talking about cultivation?
As she thought to herself, she couldn't help but turn her gaze toward Ning Qi.
"Hopefully it won't be a catastrophe."
Ning Qi was also looking at her, and said with a smile, "If you have the chance, I believe you can definitely succeed."
"Then I'll take your good wishes."
Li Qiuwan smiled.
That smile was exceptionally relaxed.
Being with Ning Qi gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.
This feeling is wonderful.
"Senior sister, we've scouted the area, there's no danger here."
"Yes, we can rest here."
"Senior sister, shall we set up a protective barrier here?"
"..."
While they were chatting, disciples returned one after another to report on the situation.
"Alright, you guys go ahead! We'll rest here."
After hearing what they said, Li Qiuwan finally came to her senses and made arrangements one by one.
"it is good!"
"..."
After she made the arrangements, everyone agreed and then left one after another.
Some people went to make arrangements, while others went to continue inspecting the surrounding area.
After such a long period of working together, they have long since learned how to cooperate with each other.
After they all left, Ning Qi and Li Qiuwan finally quieted down.
"Young Master Ding, I'll go and rest now. You've worked hard too, so please get some rest as well."
Li Qiuwan made arrangements for later and said to Ning Qi, "This may be the last peaceful time before our great battle."
"Yes."
Ning Qi nodded in agreement.
After exchanging a few more polite words, Li Qiuwan left.
Ning Qi, on the other hand, found a relatively high hillside and there he found another boulder.
He then sat cross-legged on top.
His consciousness became introspective, and he began to communicate with his distracting mind.
"call!"
The next moment, his distraction kicked in.
After a moment of disorientation, he found himself in the cave filled with stalactites where Shi Xiaokun and the others were.
By this time, they had already searched almost all the stalactites in the area.
They absorbed a lot of dragon bloodline from it.
"Master, we've searched almost everything here. Shall we look ahead and see what else is there?"
Qinglong approached Ning Qi's distraction and respectfully inquired.
"Alright, let's go."
Ning Qi didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
He had already examined all the stalactites here, and they were no longer of any value.
Right now, all that's left is to explore this place thoroughly, and then return to his side through his inner world.
Here, Qinglong can give Ning Qi all the dragon energy and bloodline power of these dragons.
In this way, his strength can increase accordingly.
"Master, let's go."
Shi Xiaokun also came over.
He had obviously heard what the two of them were saying.
"go!"
Ning Qi snapped out of his daze and didn't hesitate.
They simply followed and walked forward.
They quickly left the empty cave and came to a passageway.
There are also some mechanisms and restrictions in the passageway.
However, with Qinglong helping to clear the way, their journey went smoothly.
They quickly left the passageway.
We arrived at another cave ahead.
The cave looked empty and there was nothing special about it.
However, in the center of this open space, there is an altar.
The smell of blood could still be smelled in the surroundings.
"Such strong blood and energy, it's amazing that it's still so strong after all these years."
Shi Xiaokun exclaimed in surprise.
The blood and energy here made him feel a pang of heart palpitation.
"Yes, they are indeed very strong."
Ning Qi also sighed in agreement.
"This should be a place to worship our strong."
Azure Dragon's expression turned solemn as he said, "Let's go take a look. I sense the fluctuations of a supreme treasure here."
"But I also felt something calling to me."
"Okay, let's go check it out!"
After Ning Qi agreed, he followed along.
They quickly arrived at the altar.
At this moment, powerful fluctuations were surging across the altar.
When they arrived, it was already visible to the naked eye.
This is just like a powerful person displaying their aura in front of them.
It was as if they were deliberately trying to intimidate them.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be intimidated and wouldn't dare to breathe loudly.
But he was facing three experts.
Ning Qi had seen many life-and-death situations and had even met Di Xi once.
He remained completely unfazed by this.
Needless to say, the Azure Dragon is a divine beast of the dragon race. No matter how powerful its bloodline is, it cannot frighten him.
Shi Xiaokun was also a contemporary of Di Xi. Although he was not as strong as Di Xi, he was not an ordinary person either.
Seeing this situation, I was only slightly shocked.
It won't cause them any trouble at all.
"Interesting. They've brought us here, but they don't want us to get the treasure here."
Qinglong smiled and then said, "I want to see what's strange about this place."
"Let's go up and check the situation."
Ning Qi was even more direct, and went straight up.
"call."
However, as he stepped onto the stone steps, a gust of wind immediately rushed towards him.
It was like a wave trying to shut him out.
"Break it for me."
Ning Qi was stopped, but he wasn't angry.
Instead, he revealed a fighting spirit.
With a roar, it unleashed a fierce aura and surged directly towards the surging waves ahead.
We must contend with this momentum.
That's why the resistance he faced only grew stronger. "Master, since you're not coming in your true form, it will be very difficult for you to get up there."
Shi Xiaokun came over and said, "Come with us."
"That's true."
Ning Qi then realized that he was merely a distraction.
"follow me!"
Qinglong was clearly more relaxed.
They took Ning Qi directly to the altar.
"call!"
Here, he could clearly feel a stronger fluctuation of qi and blood around him.
"It's nothing."
Shi Xiaokun had also come up by this time.
Looking around, he couldn't help but sigh, "What a wasted trip."
"I thought there might be some treasure up here."
"Azure Dragon, are you mistaken?"
"No, don't worry, let me look for it."
Qinglong was not discouraged. Instead, he began to search for the fluctuations he had just sensed on the altar.
At first, I didn't feel anything.
However, later on, their attention gradually shifted to a stone table on the altar.
There were some inscriptions on the stone table, inscriptions that even he couldn't understand.
"what is this?"
Shi Xiaokun also came over and looked at the inscriptions on it carefully.
He showed a look of curiosity.
"I don't understand it either."
Qinglong shook his head, then circled the stone table once.
We still haven't found anything.
"Move this table away."
Ning Qi suddenly thought of something and made a suggestion.
"it is good!"
Shi Xiaokun agreed and then began to move the stone table away.
However, when he tried to move it, he felt a resistance.
"What's wrong? Can't you get it?"
Qinglong smiled.
He didn't help, so he didn't know what happened.
"Yes, you should try it!"
Shi Xiaokun nodded, and then asked Qinglong to conduct the experiment.
"it is good!"
After Qinglong nodded in agreement, he went straight to the stone table.
Then, he channeled his inner energy and began trying to move it away.
He was initially full of confidence, but after trying it, he discovered...
Just like Shi Xiaokun, he couldn't move this place even an inch.
"Strange, how can it be so heavy? This shouldn't be happening!"
Shi Xiaokun frowned and focused his attention on the stone table.
He still didn't understand what was going on.
"Azure Dragon, try using your bloodline power to see if you can open it."
Ning Qi suddenly thought of something and reminded him.
This is, after all, the territory of the Dragon Palace. Perhaps the blood and energy of the Azure Dragon can open this place up.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
The Azure Dragon nodded.
After agreeing, I began to circulate his Qi and blood.
At the same time, it also activated the power of his dragon bloodline.
Then, a powerful aura erupted from his body.
Then they surged toward the stone table in front of them.
"boom."
His force struck the stone table, producing a loud bang.
The stone table began to move slowly the next moment.
Although it's slow, it's much better than they were before.
This at least proves that it can be moved.
"It really works!"
Shi Xiaokun clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It still has to be the master!"
"So, are you confident you can open it?"
Ning Qi didn't pay attention to what he said, but instead asked Qinglong.
He knew very well that the slow movement of the Azure Dragon was proof enough that the stone table was very heavy.
He wants to remove it completely, which is not a simple matter.
"Master, it's possible, but it's a bit strenuous!"
The Azure Dragon Society members, having regained their senses, were already panting heavily: "This was too strong, it took a lot of energy."
"Use our dragon energy and the power of the dragon bloodline you absorbed!"
Ning Qi came over and said in a deep voice.
"No, this was reserved for the master, how can I use it carelessly!"
Qinglong immediately shook his head, revealing a solemn expression.
He knew very well that these were things Ning Qi had prepared to use.
If he used it so casually, he would have wasted a lot of time at the stalactite site.
"Just use it, don't worry about me."
Ning Qi smiled and continued, "If they can make such strong defenses here, there must be a treasure inside."
"Perhaps the treasure we have obtained is more powerful than the medicines we have consumed."
"But what if it's not worth it?"
"Qinglong couldn't help but say."
Nobody's been there, so who can guarantee they won't lose money?
If there's really nothing there, then it's a huge loss.
"Fortune favors the bold, don't worry about these things!"
"Open it first and then we'll talk."
Ning Qi had made up his mind, and then said.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"
Seeing that he insisted, Qinglong could no longer persuade him.
Therefore, he activated the dragon energy and the power of the dragon bloodline stored in his body.
Then it shot towards the stone table in front of it.
"boom!"
"rumble……"
With his full effort, the stone table finally moved quickly.
Moreover, after the stone table was moved, the altar beneath their feet began to rumble.
"Be careful."
Shi Xiaokun quickly reminded him.
At this moment, a crack had appeared in the center of the altar where they were.
Gusts of wind surged out from the crack.
After the crack fully opened, the rumbling gradually subsided.
Not far from them, a crack appeared beneath their feet, clearly an entrance leading down.
Looking further down, there is a passage leading to the bottom.
The passage stretched downwards, and you couldn't see the bottom at all.
"What's this."
Qinglong also came over to look at the situation below out of curiosity.
However, when they probed with their divine senses, they couldn't detect anything at all.
"How strange, my consciousness has been devoured."
Shi Xiaokun also came over, frowning, and said, "I feel it's not safe down there. Should we go down?"
"We finally got it open, why wouldn't we go?"
Ning Qi didn't care at all: "Let's go down and see what this place is."
"Yes."
"..."
Qinglong and Shi Xiaokun agreed, and then followed Ning Qi down the path.
As soon as they went down, they felt a powerful pressure sweeping towards them.
"call!"
In just a moment, all three of them were left panting heavily under the pressure.
Ning Qi, in particular, was in a state of distraction, making him even more difficult to resist.
"Master, are you alright?"
Upon seeing this, Shi Xiaokun came over and asked.
"So strong!"
Ning Qi's illusory divine sense had begun to drift. (End of Chapter)
