Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 674 Nobody's Leaving

"I know I want to ask you, what's a good way to hatch eggs?"

The shopkeeper nodded and then asked.

"I'm here for refining, as I already told you."

Ning Qi shook his head and then said, "I also want to ask you, is there any way?"

He didn't tell her about his situation, after all, they were just strangers who had met by chance.

I can't exactly tell her that I have a blue dragon in my possession.

Saying this out loud will only bring trouble upon yourself.

"Alright, in that case, I won't bother you any longer!"

Seeing Ning Qi's response, the shopkeeper didn't press him further.

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Ning Qi stood up, then bid farewell and left.

After leaving the house, he returned to the inn without stopping.

After arriving at the inn, we went directly into the Xumi Courtyard.

Then he returned to his own Sumeru space, and finally arrived at his inner world.

"call!"

Ning Qi arrived at the inner realm, the place where Shi Xiaokun had built for him to meditate and cultivate.

"Owner!"

Shi Xiaokun appeared and greeted him respectfully.

"I'm going to incubate dragon eggs here. Have you adjusted to the time difference?"

Ning Qi nodded and asked in a deep voice.

“Master, everything is ready. There is a six-month time difference with the outside world.”

"If it's just one night, it would take three months!"

Shi Xiaokun responded seriously.

"Well, that's fine. In that case, I'll begin."

Ning Qi smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand.

Summon the Azure Dragon.

"Owner!"

After the Azure Dragon appeared, it also displayed a respectful demeanor.

"We've got the dragon egg now, why don't you try to hatch it!"

Ning Qi took out the dragon egg and then said.

"Okay, I'll try it here!"

Qinglong didn't refuse and readily agreed.

His goal was to hatch the dragon eggs.

For a long time, he had wanted to meet other members of the dragon race besides himself.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Ning Qi agreed, then added, "You can stay here and incubate the egg without worry. Let's see if it can hatch right away."

"That's easy, I'll know when I take a look."

The Azure Dragon came over and carefully explored its dragon energy.

"How about it?"

Yao Ling watched from the side and asked curiously.

"Two months is not enough, I feel it will take two years."

"We can already see a heartbeat, which means it's almost hatched!"

Qinglong snapped out of his daze and said seriously.

"That's great!"

Yao Ling clapped her hands excitedly.

"How long will that take?"

Ning Qi asked the crucial question.

"At least two years, and possibly four or five!"

"In this respect, one day is equivalent to half a year."

"It will take about ten days!"

Qinglong thought for a moment and said seriously, "If his physique is too weak, it may take several months."

"In total, it would take several decades."

"Okay, that's settled then. You can continue incubating."

"If it hatches, have Shi Xiaokun notify us!"

Ning Qi nodded and gave instructions.

"Okay, I will inform him in time."

Qinglong nodded and said seriously.

"Then I'll head out. You guys keep each other informed, and let me know if you need any help!"

Ning Qi, still not entirely at ease, made further arrangements.

"Don't worry, Master! I'll keep an eye on things!"

Shi Xiaokun assured him.

"I feel at ease leaving it to you!"

Ning Qi said one more thing, and then left.

After he left, he went straight to his own Sumeru space.

They soon returned to the Sumeru Courtyard.

After all that trouble, it was already late at night.

Ning Qi then began to rest.

The next day, Ning Qi woke up as soon as it was light.

Several days have passed; it's time to check if their teleportation array is still operational.

After he got up, he went straight to the teleportation array.

When they arrived, they went straight to the guard from that day.

"grown ups!"

The guards naturally recognized Ning Qi, after all, only two days had passed.

"How is it? Can you teleport now?"

Ning Qi stopped and came over to ask.

"My lord, this isn't quite right yet; we still can't teleport!"

The guard shook his head and said, "If you're not in a hurry, you can wait a little longer."

"That's why I came to check!"

When will this be ready?

Ning Qi immediately frowned and asked in a deep voice.

He came here to teleport, but there have been problems time and time again.

This made him feel uneasy.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Why can some people teleport here, but not others?

There must be something wrong here.

"My lord, even if I wanted you to teleport, I couldn't."

"Firstly, the city lord also gave an order, and secondly, he really does have a problem."

The guard explained with a pained expression.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore!"

Ning Qi sighed helplessly, then continued, "Just tell me roughly when the teleportation will be possible!"

"It's hard to say. Why don't you come back and try it in a couple of days?"

The guard shook his head and then made the suggestion.

"Okay, I'll come back later!"

Ning Qi frowned, but he had no choice but to leave.

On his way back, Ning Qi felt more and more uneasy.

So, after he left, they found a restaurant and a table facing this direction.

After ordering a lavish meal, he stared at this spot.

"Young master, what are you looking at?"

A waiter came over and asked.

He had already noticed what Ning Qi was looking at here.

"Is the teleportation array here operational anytime soon?"

Ning Qi asked directly.

"Yes, people are often teleported here."

The man immediately said.

"So, has anyone been teleported out?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi continued to ask.

"No, quite a few people have asked, but none of them can teleport!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter shook his head again.

"How did you know?"

Ning Qi then asked.

“Many people, like you, feel something is wrong and come here to ask.”

"We're the closest to here, so I knew!"

The waiter smiled and then said.

"I see!"

Ning Qi finally understood what was going on.

"Young master, you are no different from them!"

The waiter continued, "But don't even think about leaving. For now, you can only come in, not leave."

Do you know why?

Ning Qi sensed from his words that he knew something about the situation.

After all, it's right next door, so even if no one told him, he had heard some rumors.

"A major battle is about to break out here."

"The demons are also gathering, so everyone who came here was... tricked into coming."

“Go outside the city and take a look. A lot of people have already gathered in the surrounding area,” the shopkeeper said in a low voice. “In addition, the human race is also preparing to make a move, as are the demon race.”

"Everyone is gathering in large numbers, preparing for war."

"Therefore, you can only come here, you can't leave!"

"Oh? I just came in from outside, and I didn't see any guards!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi couldn't help but speak.

When he came in, he indeed did not find any celestial guards.

"You don't know this, do you? When they arrived, how could they let ordinary people see them? They had already gathered inside the formation!"

"Besides, these people's arrival was kept secret, how could you possibly know!"

The guy said mysteriously.

"So, how did you know?"

Ning Qi became interested immediately upon hearing this.

"Of course I know."

The waiter chuckled and continued, "Don't you even know where we are? How many people come here every day!"

"They'll always slip up somewhere. Once you leave the city, head to a place where there are no people."

"There must be some kind of array or restriction there, and the Celestial Guards are hidden inside!"

"Once you get there, someone will definitely try to stop you from finding them!"

"Okay, I'll trust you this once!"

Ning Qi nodded, took out a top-grade spirit stone, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Thank you, young master!"

The shopkeeper caught his spirit stone and said excitedly.

"Alright, go ahead!"

Ning Qi didn't ask any more questions, but instead told him to leave.

"Okay, feel free to ask me any questions. I'll answer them to the best of my ability!"

After agreeing, the man left in a hurry.

Ning Qi ignored it and quickly finished the food on the table before getting up and leaving.

After he left, he headed straight out of the city.

Soon they arrived at a mountain road outside the city.

Before he could even go inside, he sensed a murderous aura coming from behind him.

So, he turned his head to look behind him.

Then he saw the young man he had argued with the night before.

Behind the young man, another group of people came over, clearly representing both sides.

"These must be the people who fought with you for the dragon egg last night!"

Li Rou was already in his inner world and had discovered the situation here long ago.

"Well, since they've come all this way, let's play with them!"

Ning Qi didn't mind and said with a smile.

"Be careful, don't waste your energy!"

Seeing this, Li Rou reminded her again.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

Ning Qi still acted as if he didn't care.

He is very powerful now, and even the city lord has to show him respect, let alone these people.

"Boy, hand over the dragon egg, and I'll spare your life!"

At this moment, the young man stepped forward, a playful look on his face: "You'd better give it to us obediently, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

"Oh? Do you think I'm easily scared?"

Ning Qi listened to his words as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

His eyes were full of amusement.

"Hmph, still being stubborn even now. Stop wasting your breath on him, all of you attack together!"

Behind the young man, the middle-aged man also walked over.

Those eyes were filled with bloodlust.

They have clearly already regarded Ning Qi as their prey.

"Alright, let's all attack together and kill him!"

The young man didn't hesitate and agreed to let his men do it later.

They all rushed towards Ning Qi, wanting to kill him.

Ning Qi played along with them, concealing his strength as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, making them feel as if they could kill him at any moment.

As a result, these people gradually lowered their guard and began to hunt down Ning Qi without any scruples.

Ning Qi lured them to a valley and then made sure none of them would escape.

Only then did he unleash his full power, revealing his strength as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and slaughtered them all.

None of them had a chance to escape. After killing these people, Ning Qi restrained his strength.

Then they left and continued walking outwards, hoping to find the immortal guards that the man had mentioned were hidden here.

After he had been searching for a while, Li Rou reminded Ning Qi.

Then the two of them discovered the celestial guards here.

These celestial guards did not discover Ning Qi and his group.

"See? This guy really wasn't lying!"

Li Rou looked at the immortal guards hiding inside the barrier and then spoke.

"Well, in that case, let's retreat first."

Ning Qi didn't want to alert the enemy, so after concealing his presence, he left the place immediately.

Throughout the entire process, the celestial guards here did not detect his presence.

He didn't notice it until the very end.

Ning Qi and Li Rou left this place together.

Where are we going?

Li Rou asked.

"Go to Qianhemen."

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then continued.

"Are you trying to remind them?"

Li Rou asked.

Besides that, she couldn't think of any other reason why Ning Qi would go back.

"That's right, remind them, otherwise when this great battle begins, these people will definitely be the stepping stones at the very front!"

Ning Qi nodded, then continued, "If they are prepared, they won't be too hasty."

"Hmm, what you said makes sense. Let's go!"

After Li Rou agreed, she did not try to stop him.

Ning Qi then sped off toward the Thousand Crane Sect.

After a short while, he arrived at the Thousand Crane Gate.

Upon arriving at the mountain gate, I saw several familiar faces.

"Young Master Ding?"

"..."

Several disciples came over and greeted him.

"Young Master Ding, what brings you back?"

Zhao Cheng's voice came from afar.

"Why aren't you welcoming me?"

Ning Qi asked jokingly.

"No, you...didn't you already leave here?"

Zhao Cheng quickly shook his head and asked in confusion.

"Something came up, I can't leave for now!"

Ning Qi shook his head, then asked, "Is your master still alive, or is the Grand Elder still here?"

"Yes, you've come at the perfect time! They'll be leaving soon!"

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Cheng immediately pointed to the main hall and said, "They are inside."

"Okay, let's go. I have something to tell them!"

Ning Qi nodded, and then followed directly forward.

They arrived at the main hall very quickly.

"Master, Young Master Ding is back!"

Zhao Cheng immediately shouted.

"Young Master Ding?"

The first to respond was Li Qiuwan.

Upon hearing the name, she immediately rushed out of the main hall.

His eyes were filled with excitement.

"Young Master Ding is back?"

Soon it will be Wang Qingnian's turn.

Xu Qianhe followed behind him.

"Young Master Ding, why are you back again?"

After Xu Qianhe arrived, he asked the question.

"I have something important to tell you!"

After Ning Qi arrived, he spoke earnestly.

"what's up?"

Wang Qingnian followed up with a serious question.

For Ning Qi to come back specifically for this matter, it must be a very important one.

"Do you know that now you can only come into the city, but you can't leave?"

Ning Qi didn't say it directly, but asked first.

“We heard about you, but you’ve been gone for a few days now, so we thought you had left too.”

"What's wrong? Did something happen in here?"

Wang Qingnian nodded and asked curiously.

"Yes, something big has happened!"

Ning Qi nodded, then continued, "That's why I didn't leave." (End of Chapter)
