Random Recommendation: Lava Immortal Palace.

Second Transit Hall, Second Dao Gate.

“Wahahaha!” Meng Chong laughed heartily, hands on his hips, head held high, utterly delighted.

Behind him stood seven or eight puppet men, each damaged to varying degrees.

They appeared battered and broken, but each was exceptionally excited, cheering loudly.

“We passed, we passed again!”

“A new record, this is a brand new record.”

“We’re maintaining the lead, the closest to us is the Ning family’s Ning Zhuo team. But they’ve only just explored the first Dao Gate. Our advantage is too great.”

“Truly worthy of being an immortal prodigy.”

The City Lord Manor’s modification team looked at Meng Chong, filled with emotion.

They were very clear: Meng Chong’s contribution to this achievement was enormous, truly pivotal.

Although Meng Chong’s temperament was childish, so simple and direct that many cultivators looked down on him.

But everyone had to admire him, admire his innate talent.

Raging Thunder Dash ——— its versatility was truly extensive, its power formidable, capable of achieving what others could not.

Lava Immortal Palace, Main Hall.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit lay on the throne, its gaze piercing through layers of walls and floor tiles, witnessing the scene of their celebration.

It grumbled in anger.

The City Lord Manor’s group had entered the second transit hall, but to this day, not a single person had noticed the peculiarity.

If there was only one gate, then why build such a transit hall?

Yet, this anomaly went unnoticed by others.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit knew the reason.

Because Yuan Dasheng frequently appeared in the transit hall.

This led to the incorrect assumption among the crowd.

“The mechanical ape didn’t appear!”

“Great!”

“I heard that the three-family alliance team, due to their large numbers, suffered a double ambush from the mechanical ape and the soul-enslaving puppet, and suffered a crushing defeat.”

“I heard they almost won? It’s just that Ning Xiaohui wanted to settle personal grudges, and at the most critical moment, not only did she not seize the opportunity, but she also delayed the battle!”

“Despicable.”

Meng Chong clenched his fist, his face full of regret.

In his understanding, such transit halls were often guarded by mechanical apes or soul-enslaving puppets.

Meng Chong was very much looking forward to another great battle with Yuan Dasheng.

But recently, he had encountered the mechanical ape far too few times, leaving Meng Chong eagerly anticipating.

Without Yuan Dasheng guarding it, the transit hall seemed empty.

Meng Chong stepped forward, about to push open the second Dao Gate.

The modification team cultivators hurriedly stopped him.

“Young Master Meng Chong, don’t always rush ahead.”

“Let us push the door, let us.”

“Yes, what if there’s a trap behind this door, severely injuring you. Our exploration this time will definitely stop here.”

“After passing the first transit hall, we didn’t find any maintenance rooms. Young Master Meng Chong, please take it easy.”

It had to be said that Ning Zhuo’s various traps had left an extremely deep impression on everyone.

“You’re worrying too much!”

Meng Chong pushed past the crowd and once again stood before the door: “If there really is a trap, I’m the one who can best break it.”

“You all stay behind and watch me break through this stage.”

“Hahaha!”

Meng Chong’s laughter was hearty and full of vigor.

But as he pushed the door, he immediately let out a surprised “Hmm?”

“What’s wrong?”:

The other cultivators were all tense.

But the next moment, Meng Chong laughed loudly, his laughter even more flamboyant and joyous than before.

“Found it, I found the follow-up cultivation method.”

“As long as we touch this door, we can obtain key information, the fourth to sixth layers of the Five Elements Qi Rhythm Sutra.”

Meng Chong’s words greatly surprised everyone.

They had been at the peak of the third layer for quite some time, feeling very frustrated.

Now that they had finally obtained the follow-up cultivation method, allowing everyone’s stagnant cultivation to finally get back on track.

“The door can’t be opened, we must cultivate to the peak of the sixth layer before we can open it!”

Meng Chong felt regret.

But everyone was delighted and encouraged.

Watching the performance of this group, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit anxiously scratched the back of the throne in the main hall with its claws.

It really wanted to tell the celebrating crowd that besides the Dao Gate, there were also the Demon Gate and the Buddhist Gate.

Unfortunately, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit’s authority was limited and could not interfere in this aspect.

While it was feeling frustrated and resentful, Ning Zhuo, the culprit behind all of this, was summoning the trial disciple mark.

“Coming!”

“I see it!”

In Ning Zhuo’s vision, he saw a thread of life descending from the sky, hanging above his head.

Divine Ability ———— Thread of Life.

The next moment, Ning Zhuo unleashed the complete divine ability.

The Thread of Life from the Lava Immortal Palace was violently affected, swaying left and right like a willow branch in a strong wind, unable to land on Ning Zhuo’s head.

“Hmm?”

Sensing the anomaly, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit immediately turned its gaze.

Seeing this scene, it couldn’t help but blink repeatedly, feeling like it was dreaming.

Is this real?

Ning Zhuo played with the Lava Immortal Palace’s Thread of Life for a while, unable to help but smile.

He stopped interfering and allowed the Thread of Life to hook onto the back of his head.

The next moment, Ning Zhuo once again influenced the Thread of Life, allowing it to extract his soul and enter the Immortal Palace.

This strange feeling again?

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit couldn’t help but wonder, instinctively standing up, its dragon eyes widening to an unprecedented degree.

Room One, Ning Zhuo consulted “Celestial Artisanry”.

He quickly assembled his puppet body, and with a few leaps, descended from the mountain of mechanical parts.

Now he was quite familiar with the puppet body, his movements were very light, and there was no longer any of the previous stiffness.

Room One was not only occupied by Ning Zhuo alone.

“Young Master Ning Zhuo?”

The Zhou family’s modification team recognized Ning Zhuo’s identity upon seeing a large-headed puppet approaching.

“Ning Zhuo!”

Leading this small modification team was Zhou Zhu, one of the Zhou family’s geniuses.

Ning Zhuo had a closer relationship with Zhou Zeshen, and less contact and communication with Zhou Zhu.

Moreover, Zhou Zhu himself was a man of few words, and few people were close to him.

Zhou Zhu knew Ning Zhuo’s strength, and even though he was taciturn, he took the initiative to propose cooperation at this moment.
Ning Zhuo politely declined, “I am, after all, a member of the Ning family. My apologies to all of you, fellow cultivators of the Zhou family.”

A puppet beside Zhou Zhu immediately spoke, “Young Master Ning Zhuo, we all know that the Ning family’s main branch forced you to admit that Ning Xiaohui’s actions against you were merely a mistake.”

“But all of us, all who participated in that action, know that it was no mere mistake at all.”

“It was deliberate, intentional. Fortunately, this is a trial checkpoint, and we are all in puppet bodies.”

“If this were outside the Immortal Palace, she would be your murderer!”

The Zhou family members were indignant on Ning Zhuo’s behalf, unaware that Ning Zhuo was the mastermind behind it all.

Ning Zhuo sighed deeply, not responding, but instead bowing to the crowd in thanks. Then, he pushed open the door and entered Room Number Two.

He concealed himself within the modification team. Given his current status and reputation, exploring the Immortal Palace alone would not arouse the slightest suspicion.

Ning Zhuo skillfully evaded all the mechanisms in Room Number Two with his magic, and soon stood before the second door.

The Zhou family cultivators followed closely behind Ning Zhuo, entering Room Number Two.

They witnessed the entire process of Ning Zhuo clearing the level alone.

“Impressive!”

“I didn’t expect Young Master Ning Zhuo’s magic to be so powerful, as natural as breathing.”

“No wonder he holds exchange meetings every few days. He scours the Myriad Flavors Bookstore, seeking the complete version of *Celestial Crafts and Creations*. He actively lectures on the insights of spellcasting. Every time, the Ning family’s modification team benefits immensely.”

Ning Zhuo turned his head to look back, noticing that each of the Zhou family’s puppets had a thread of life hanging above their heads.

These were all things he had prepared beforehand.

Basically, the cultivators in the three-family combined team had all been visited by Ning Zhuo, each receiving a strand of the Life-Thread.

At this moment, Ning Zhuo clearly noticed that the Life-Threads of everyone in the Zhou family were rapidly thickening.

“Everyone is acknowledging me even more deeply…”

Ning Zhuo waved to the Zhou family members before pushing open the door and entering Room Number Three.

Ning Zhuo was already famous.

He was the Lord of the Black Market, having brought down his own young patriarch and being at odds with the Ning family’s main branch.

The events happening around him were highly sensational.

And in the recent joint battle, although they ultimately failed, Ning Zhuo performed the best, leaving a deep impression on everyone.

Despite the review showing that Ning Zhuo stubbornly clung to the smoke chariot and had flaws in his battle command.

But the merits outweighed the flaws.

Now, even within the large three-family combined team, Ning Zhuo was a heavyweight, not to be ignored.

Ning Zhuo acted alone, passing several levels, and arrived at Room Number Eight.

Here, he joined forces with the Golden-Blooded Battle Ape, Yuan Dasheng.

Afterward, he rode the momentum of Yuan Dasheng’s unstoppable advance.

To prevent any unexpected events from behind, he even borrowed Qi Bai to use, and had him lie in wait in Room Number Eight.

Whenever anyone tried to catch up, Qi Bai would be triggered to eliminate them.

Each time, Ning Zhuo had Yuan Dasheng open the door first, firmly grasping these details and not making mistakes.

Not long after, he and Yuan Dasheng arrived at the second transfer hall.

Meng Chong and the others had already disappeared.

They had finally obtained the subsequent cultivation methods and were busy advancing their own cultivation.

The Dharma doors that they couldn’t push open didn’t necessarily mean Ning Zhuo couldn’t either.

Ning Zhuo pushed open the second Buddhist door.

Seeing his effortless demeanor, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit gnashed its teeth even harder.

Ning Zhuo was already familiar with the first level after the second Buddhist door.

Here, he first had to select nine materials, and then use limited tools, in a limited time, to add as much armor as possible to Yuan Dasheng.

After that, he had to rely on Yuan Dasheng to pass various tests.

During this period, Ning Zhuo was unable to control Yuan Dasheng.

He could only let its spirituality guide its actions.

“However, now, I have divine abilities.”

“Life-Thread, let me see your power.”

Ning Zhuo brazenly displayed his divine ability.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit was extremely shocked.

At this moment, it finally confirmed that Ning Zhuo had mastered the complete Life-Thread divine ability.

The Immortal Palace erupted once again.

Dazzling firelight and towering magma reflected each other.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit’s roar reached Meng Kui’s ears, and the latter frowned slightly, wondering what was happening.

He could hear a sense of fear in the roar.

The Life-Thread was effective.

Ning Zhuo didn’t even need to use the Buddha’s Inner Demon Seal; he simply relied on the Life-Thread to command Yuan Dasheng, easily passing each trial in such a cheating manner.

Although Yuan Dasheng had intelligence, it retained its habits from life, disliking spellcasting and preferring close combat.

This defect vanished with Ning Zhuo’s cooperation.

On this day, Ning Zhuo passed three levels in a row, arriving at the third transfer hall.

He touched the Buddhist door, the Taoist door, and the Demonic door one after another.

The Mirror Terrace Spirit Communication Art, the Five Elements Qi Rhythm Art, and the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Demon-Infected Blood Tendon Technique all fell into Ning Zhuo’s hands.

Before leaving, Ning Zhuo thoughtfully raised the stone walls of the Buddhist door and the Demonic door.

Leaving only the Taoist door.
