< Chapter 48: The Trap of chanisms >
"I've reached the second layer of Qi refining, hahaha!" ng Chong exclaid with joy in the cultivation room.
He adored this pace.
After activating Wild Sprint Thunderclap, his cultivation level soared, starkly contrasting with his previous practice sessions, bringing him imnse pleasure and a sense of achievent.
His excitent grew as he practiced, gradually becoming addicted.
Wild Sprint Thunderclap, Wild Sprint Thunderclap, Wild Sprint Thunderclap!
The more he used this superior talent, the more he liked it, the more he relied on it.
Fei Si sensed sothing was wrong and advised him gently.
ng Chong moderated himself slightly while cultivating, frowning.
He genuinely felt uncomfortable: "So slow, too slow!"
"It's like a snail's pace!"
Of course, this was an illusion.
But after unleashing his nature, he beca increasingly impatient.
"Just one more ti."
"One more ti wouldn't hurt, right?"
"One last ti."
Wild Sprint Thunderclap, Wild Sprint Thunderclap, Wild Sprint Thunderclap…
"Hahaha!" His exhilarated laughter echoed through the cultivation room.
Ning Zhuo entered the palace for the sixth ti.
He formally entered Room Four.
Room Four was not much different in layout from Room One, filled with scattered chanical parts.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit watched Ning Zhuo with pursed lips, expressionless, observing his every move without offering any hints.
Ning Zhuo attempted to assemble the chanical parts; his movents paused, and he was instantly restrained by the Divine Ability—Life Hanging by a Thread.
The young man tried to activate a treasured seal, to no avail.
He tried approaching the exit, touching the door, and again received information about a reward.
"Can this be the end of the level?"
"No, this room must be useful. I just haven't figured it out yet."
Ning Zhuo pondered for a mont and tried to activate the Five Elents Qi Regulation Art, but there was no response.
Seeing this, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit unconsciously got up, supporting itself on its four limbs, no longer lying down as before.
It was getting nervous.
Suddenly, an idea struck Ning Zhuo. He abandoned the Five Elents Qi Regulation Art and instead released a spell.
First, the Ice-Embracing Technique.
As soon as the spell was cast, it attracted a chanical part, which flew towards him.
Ning Zhuo quickly caught it, and due to the force of the collision, he had to step back.
"I guessed right!" he rejoiced inwardly.
Snap.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, irritated, slapped its dragon claw and gritted its teeth.
Ning Zhuo had figured it out again!
The new chanical part was a forearm with a hand, very robust, capable of floating in the air.
Ning Zhuo continued to release spells, obtaining another floating arm, a chanical wooden staff, and a set of chanical rings, totaling twelve.
"The more spells mastered, the greater the enhancent received in this room."
"This challenge mainly tests one's skills and spells."
Ning Zhuo entered Room No. 5.
A long corridor unfolded before him, at least ten tis longer than Room No. 2.
What kind of chanisms and traps would there be this ti?
At the lord's mansion.
"Hahaha!" ng Chong laughed uproariously, looking up to the sky, "I've reached the peak of the third layer in just three days. Who can be as fast as ?"
For three days and nights, he had barely slept or rested, but now he had finally succeeded.
"I must be the first to enter the Immortal Palace!" he declared.
"But how to enter…"
The next mont, everything before ng Chong's eyes went dark, as his soul was abruptly drawn out.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit excitedly stood up; it had been waiting for this mont for a long ti.
It impatiently communicated to ng Chong, "Lava Immortal Palace, Puppet inheritance, Life Hanging by a Thread, Qi Refining test… Awaken your talent, fully activate The Five Elents Qi Regulation Art, pass through room one, and reach room two!"
Instantly, a whip of fire ford in the main hall of the Immortal Palace, fiercely lashing the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.
With a crisp snap, the whip struck the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, causing it to fall to the ground.
The fire whip dissipated, and the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, grinning in pain and excitent, saw that ng Chong had received the crucial hint and began furiously circulating The Five Elents Qi Regulation Art.
At the sa ti, faint sparks of electricity began to emanate from his torso.
Snap, snap, snap.
The sparks of electricity flickered increasingly, emitting crackling sounds.
A small mountain made of chanical parts began to tremble slowly, and five chanical parts shot out from it.
The parts soared through the air and, within a few breaths, collided with ng Chong’s main torso, instantly assembling themselves.
ng Chong clenched his fists, thrust out his chest, and shouted upwards as electric light gathered around his body, erupting into a beam of lightning that shot upwards, forming a column of electric light with an impressive force.
Boom, boom, boom…
His movents caused the mountain of chanical parts to collapse.
Amidst the dust and debris, ng Chong stood tall and proud, taking large strides forward.
He touched the door and received a reward ssage.
"The trial of inheritance at the Lava Immortal Palace is quite interesting!"
ng Chong did not even glance at the options for chanical parts or spells, and directly chose the spirit stone.
"Room number two, here I co." He forcefully pushed open the door and strode in with vigor.
Bang! He triggered a chanism, and a massive hamr platform fell from above.
ng Chong didn't even have ti to react before he was completely smashed into countless wooden pieces.
"What happened?" Without his puppet body, ng Chong's soul was sent back to his flesh body.
He was completely stunned.
After so reflection, he realized, "It seems that after I opened the door, I triggered a trap."
ng Chong thought for a mont and directly summoned Fei Si.
Upon learning of his ordeal, Fei Si first enthusiastically congratulated him, praising ng Chong for a good while.
ng Chong snorted, "I am the most talented person of the current ng family generation; I won't disgrace my grandfather! Now, what should I do?"
Fei Si sighed, "So, the trial of inheritance at the Lava Immortal Palace has undergone such a significant change at the Qi Refining stage!"
"These days, I have been reading various reports about the three sect masters, trying to understand their thoughts and emotions."
"If I'm not mistaken, Young Master ng Chong, the door reward you encountered contains a crucial option that could bring you great help."
ng Chong imdiately fell into thought: "Spirit stones, hanging rings, and a burst of energy, which could it be?"
"When can I enter the Lava Immortal Palace again?" After his failure, even though he still had plenty of soul power left, he had to wait three hours.
It was Ning Zhuo's seventh entry into the palace.
During his previous attempt, he failed in Room Five, completely depleting his stored spiritual power.
"Room Five and Room Two are similar; I need to run and maneuver through all the obstacles to reach the endpoint."
"The difficulty has increased at least threefold!"
"Although I acquired quite a few chanical components, I'm not familiar with them. In my rapid running and dodging, they beca a burden."
"The key issue is that the additional chanical components also increased the consumption of spiritual power."
"Huh?!"
Ning Zhuo entered Room Two and found that the trap he had set up had been triggered once.
The massive hamr platform…
He had assembled it previously to smash the ranking stone pillars. On his fourth entry into the palace, he had an idea to move it to Room Two and set up a trap.
On his fifth entry, he was excited to find that the trap was still in place.
The experint was a success!
Thus, using the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, Ning Zhuo added many new features to Rooms Two and Three.
"ng Chong entered the palace."
"Hmm, he was smashed."
"I already know the minimum interval is three hours. So, I can roughly estimate the timing to avoid running into him."
A sense of urgency rose again in Ning Zhuo's heart, his expression becoming cautious.
"Such superior talent…"
"This ti, I should add a few more traps."
"Otherwise, I won't be at ease."
