"Every floor has a great demon!"
"We just don’t know how strong they are!"
"Who knows how long this sect has been gone; even if we pass the trial, there won’t be any rewards!"
Another person shook their head, following up, "We should leave; there’s nothing here."
"But, those who just came, haven’t they been inside for two hours? Why don’t we wait for them to e out and ask about the situation?"
Someone else, clearly unwilling to leave just like that, couldn’t help but ask.
"I feel like he might have already died in there."
The previous person sighed and continued, "For a sect to call it a great demon, it must be extraordinarily strong."
"He just went in like that; if he doesn’t die, he’ll be skinned alive."
"Alright then, let’s leave."
"There’s nothing worth finding here anymore!"
"Yes, let’s go!"
"..."
After some discussion, the group ultimately decided to leave.
"Master, that Black Dragon is originally the great demon of this floor in the Demon-Locking Tower!"
"Just one floor has such a Divine Beast level great demon; anyone who es here must be quite powerful!"
The Medicine Spirit looked at Ning Qi and couldn’t help but speak.
"Let’s go up and see what the third floor is like."
"If we can fight, we’ll continue; if not, we’ll retreat!"
Ning Qi is aware of the secrets of each floor now.
The Fire Origin is just an illusion; the real threat is the Black Dragon.
If it weren’t for the timely countermeasures, they would have had to leave already.
"Alright!"
The Medicine Spirit felt relief hearing Ning Qi say this.
Retreat if defeated; that’s wise.
Having agreed, Ning Qi directed towards the stairway.
Soon, they arrived at the third floor.
"Phew!"
On the third floor, the hall was still empty.
Like the second floor, the array had been destroyed, making teleportation impossible.
"Great, now we can go to the fourth floor!"
The Medicine Spirit clapped hands joyfully, dancing in excitement.
"It’s our good fortune!"
"If we can directly reach the seventh floor, it would mean that a legacy here would be ours!"
Ning Qi grinned as he shifted his focus upstairs.
He continued upstairs with the Medicine Spirit.
Soon, they reached the fourth floor.
"Master, it’s the same as the two floors below, all destroyed."
"Is this intentional?"
The Medicine Spirit, upon arriving, checked the teleportation array, and found it also destroyed.
Impossible to transport, and more severely damaged than those below.
"It’s a pity for those downstairs, if they teamed up for one floor."
"They could have easily climbed!"
Ning Qi chuckled, looking down.
Those people had already left the towers, retracing their steps back.
"It’s just their bad luck!"
The Medicine Spirit laughed first, then said, "Master, the great demon on each floor, can be teleported. Does that mean the Fire Origin we just absorbed might be reclaimed?"
"No, I can feel that the power inside me is still intact!"
"The Fire Origin power just taken, is still under my control!"
Ning Qi shook his head and said, "Every time someone enters, they might be teleported to different places."
"Whatever, as long as the power remains!"
"When we go down, we can return for a look, right?"
The Medicine Spirit pondered, choosing to stop worrying, as they gestured upwards, "Master, let’s go to the fifth floor!"
"Alright!"
Ning Qi nodded, then continued upwards with the Medicine Spirit.
Arriving on the fifth floor, they found the array also destroyed.
It was the most severely damaged, and without the Demon-Locking Tower’s walls, the floor might collapse.
"Continue."
Ning Qi glanced around, proceeding upstairs directly.
Arriving on the sixth floor, it was the same as below.
Obviously, it was deliberately destroyed.
"Master, do you think upon reaching the seventh floor, the legacy might have already been taken?"
"It’s all destroyed here; likely trouble ahead."
The Medicine Spirit was disappointed seeing the sixth floor in such a state.
If that’s the case, they miscalculated.
Better to simply leave.
"Not necessarily, let’s go, and have a look!"
"Weren’t they saying from below, no one has reached the seventh floor yet!"
Ning Qi shook his head firmly, "We need to be prepared for this!"
"Alright! Let’s try!"
The Medicine Spirit agreed and followed upstairs.
Soon, they arrived at the final floor.
Brightening their eyes as the floor was no longer empty.
Against the wall, there was an altar, and beside it lay a corpse.
Opposite the altar was a plain wooden table, now dust-covered.
Besides that, nothing else was present.
"Master, looks like no value here."
"The most worthwhile was the first floor."
The Medicine Spirit, seeing everything, looked disappointed.
Unexpectedly, the final floor was like this.
"Not necessarily, let’s check!"
Ning Qi refused to give up, approaching the altar to inspect the offerings.
Only an incense burner remained, nothing else.
And a broken memorial tablet.
Besides that, only the nearby corpse.
Ning Qi approached the corpse, studying it carefully.
The clothing was tattered, leaving only a skeleton.
Observing closely, there was still a Storage Bag at the waist.
Ning Qi’s eyes lit up, bending down to retrieve the Storage Bag.
Exploring with Divine Sense, an invisible force pushed him out.
No chance to explore further.
"Huh?"
Ning Qi softly exclaimed, trying again with his Divine Sense.
Yet once more, he was pushed out, denied the chance to investigate.
"Master, what’s wrong?"
The Medicine Spirit, seeing Ning Qi like this, curiously approached to investigate.
"This Storage Bag has restrictions."
"I want to know what’s inside!"
Ning Qi smiled, then began activating the Water Pattern.
Visible strains of Water Pattern surged within; in brief moments, unlocking the restriction on the Storage Bag.
With Divine Sense exploring, he quickly discerned the contents.
Though not much within, there was an ancient book.
Besides the book, there was a set of armor.
Ning Qi retrieved them directly.
First examining the ancient book.
He found the characters unfamiliar.
"Can you recognize this?"
Ning Qi handed the book to the Medicine Spirit for study, while focusing on the armor.
"Master, this book discusses Array Restrictions."
"It categorizes worldwide Array Restrictions."
"Once mastered to Great Success, no restriction array can stop you!"
"It also explains the origins of this armor."
Before Ning Qi could fully study the armor, the Medicine Spirit informed him.
"The world’s Array Restrictions?"
Ning Qi, intrigued by the Medicine Spirit’s words, showed interest.
"Yes, but I’ll need to help translate the texts."
"Give me some time to translate everything clearly; then you can read!"
The Medicine Spirit nodded, pointing at the armor, "Also, it details the history of this armor!"
"Alright, translate the restrictions slowly, and give it all to me once clarified!"
Ning Qi realized how beneficial an ancient Medicine Spirit could be.
"Sure!"
The Medicine Spirit readily agreed.
Happy to be beneficial.
"Then, what’s the story behind this armor?"
Ning Qi pointed at the armor in hand, continuing to inquire.
