“Do you feel that there are less Ghosts?” Xie Cheng asked.
Cao He nodded and said, “Yeah.”
“Xiao Jinting seems to be able to kill these monsters. Moreover, these invisible things seem to turn into transparent beads after they die,” Xie Cheng said.
They were all heading for the place with the riches demonic Qi, and they ran across each other quite often. As a result, Cao He and the others happened to see Xiao Jinting attack the Ghosts.
“Xie Cheng, are you saying that there are fewer Ghosts because of Xiao Jinting? Is he that powerful?” Cao He said disapprovingly. He held grudges with Xiao Jinting, so he was very reluctant to admit Xiao Jinting was capable.
Xie Cheng smiled and said, “It’s hard to say.”
“Perhaps this is the method of the place that he comes from,” Miao Qing said.
Xie Cheng nodded and said, “Perhaps.”
Cao He thought of Xiao Jinting’s capability and was certain that there were Deity Transformation cultivators in Xiao Jinting’s homeland.
…
Over a month later, Fu Li and Long Xue finally found the entrance to the ninth floor and walked up.
Not long after Fu Li and Long Xue left, Cao He and the others went up to the ninth floor.
Xiao Jinting followed Long Xue and found the entrance to the ninth floor.
Afraid of being ambushed by Long Xue and the others, Xiao Jinting waited for a while on the eighth floor before going up to the ninth floor.
While he was waiting, he killed more Ghosts.
On the ninth floor, Xiao Jinting found that he could work up his spiritual power, but he could only use one tenth of it. In addition, the gravity on the ninth floor was strong, which made moving around very difficult. These were nothing compared to the heat. Xiao Jinting felt like he was going to evaporate as soon as he reached the ninth floor.
He changed into clothes made of Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo of ten thousand years, which had an excellent protecting effect.
The Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo of ten thousand years could easily ward off the attack from a Nascent Soul. There were a large amount of Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo plants in Xiao Jinting’s space, but there was only one Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo of ten thousand years.
Xiao Jinting only had one set of magical clothes made from it.
He felt much better after he changed his clothes.
Xiao Jinting walked in the desert, thinking, “The entrance to the eighth floor is located where the storm is most violent, and the entrance to the ninth floor is located where the Demonic Qi is richest with the most demonic stones. Therefore, the entrance to the tenth floor should be located where it is the hottest. Will I be killed by the heat?”
As he walked in the desert, he saw a big tripod with countless treasures, pills, magical weapons and talismans inside. He noticed there was a bottle, on which it was written Nourishing Nascence Pill.
Xiao Jinting almost drooled at the sight. This pill was an ancient one. It was said that after taking it, a preliminary Nascent Soul would advance to the medium level, and a medium Nascent Soul would go up to the advanced level, and so on.
After the cultivator advanced to Nascent Soul, it would take hundreds of years to advance to the next level. The pill was extremely precious as it had such an amazing effect.
Xiao Jinting couldn’t wait to walk towards the tripod. As he approached, he found that what he saw before was just a mirage.
He started to ponder.
What he had seen existed, but it was the reflection of the tripod in the mirage.
If he could find the tripod, he would make a fortune.
Xiao Jinting walked to the hottest place on the ninth floor. To his surprise, when he was overwhelmed by the heat, the jade space stuck to his chest, cooling him down.
After he had walked on the ninth floor for six months, he finally arrived at a sea of fire.
A large tripod stood in the fire with a lid on the top. However, the reflection of the treasures inside the tripod floated in the sky.
Xiao Jinting saw Long Xue, Fu Li, and the human cultivators.
Several chains were tied around the lid of the tripod, and one end of each chain was held by Long Xue and the rest.
Xiao Jinting looked at the tripod and narrowed his eyes. The tripod in the sea of fire should be restricted due to special reasons, so it couldn’t be collected. Long Xue and the rest had to join forces to open the tripod. It should be difficult to do that. Otherwise, a proud demonic beast like Long Xue would not have worked with the humans.
When Xiao Jinting arrived, it was a critical moment for Long Xue and others. Xiao Jinting saw a crack in the big tripod.
Long Xue was probably distracted by the sight of him, and the crack closed up a bit.
Long Xue glared at Xiao Jinting and focused her attention on the tripod.
“Don’t mind him, Long Xue. You should know that opening the Tripod of Heaven and Earth is getting more difficult. If we don’t gather all our strength and open it in one go, we have to wait until the tower opens again.” Long Xue gritted her teeth and ignored Xiao Jinting, concentrating on opening the tripod.
