Demon Cultivator: Heaven and earth are the cauldron, and all living beings are the medicine

Hidden Path Secret Realm, fourth level.

At this moment, Li Ke and Gu Qin had both completed the Mind Inquiry and arrived at the fifth level of the Secret Realm, beginning to comprehend their own good fortune.

However, Ning Lu was still trapped in a pitch-black scene, looking dazed, his eyes vacant, his whole person almost insane, like a headless fly, bumping around in this darkness.

"How, exactly, can I get out of this hellish place?" Ning Lu's face was filled with despair as he muttered to himself.

In the next moment, the Primordial Ancient Cauldron in his sleeve flew out without warning, suspended in mid-air, suddenly bursting out with dazzling blood-colored light.

In an instant, Ning Lu's mind regained clarity. He held his head in his hands, and after a burst of severe pain, he finally opened his eyes and regained his reason.

"What's going on? Wasn't I participating in the Mind Inquiry trial? What the hell is this? Where is the trial? Where is the road?" Ning Lu kept looking around, but still couldn't find a trace of light.

He no longer knew how long he had been trapped here, nor did he know where he was, but at this moment, his will was extremely firm, and there was only one thought in his mind, gnashing his teeth.

"I don't care what this secret realm is doing? I must move towards eternal life, I must become the strongest in the world! Let all living beings prostrate themselves at my feet, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, kneeling and kowtowing! How can a mere Mind Inquiry trial stop my progress?"

Ning Lu looked at the surrounding darkness, and simply stood on the spot, inexplicably starting to laugh maniacally.

"Hahaha..."

"Mind Inquiry! Mind Inquiry! This heart is a demon, not the inner heart, but I have no inner demons now, so how can I inquire my mind?"

Ning Lu's mind was extremely clear, and he finally saw his current situation clearly, but even so, there was still no fear on his face, but his eyes shone brightly, only to hear him chant:

Wind and snow press down on the body as light as cotton, blood relatives in the mortal world are casually severed!

Entering the cultivation world for the first time as a visitor from beyond the heavens, the Primordial Ancient Cauldron is added to my body.

Deterring the pack of wolves and killing the benefactor, refining all living beings to build my foundation!

Why bother to resolve the deeply planted inner demon? Persistently seek the pinnacle of prosperity!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Primordial Ancient Cauldron seemed to have heard his thoughts, and suddenly burst out with even more dazzling blood-colored light, even illuminating the surrounding darkness.

"Boom!"

The pitch-black space in front of him was suddenly torn open, revealing a huge door of light, and countless bright rays of light shone through the door, completely illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Unlike before, this time there was no sound resounding throughout the world from the sky, and the surroundings were silent. Ning Lu could even hear his own breathing.

This was because Ning Lu was different from Li Ke and Gu Qin. The latter two passed the Mind Inquiry trial through their respective goals and their own tenacious will, and entered the next level of the Secret Realm.

But Ning Lu had no inner demons, which led to the Mind Inquiry trial being completely ineffective against him! This meant that without the huge door of light in front of him, Ning Lu would be trapped here forever, and would never be able to leave the trial.

And the door of light in front of him was not because Ning Lu had passed the Mind Inquiry trial, but because the Primordial Ancient Cauldron had heard Ning Lu's inner voice and forcibly tore a gap in this world!

"Primordial Ancient Cauldron, let's go!"

Ning Lu put away the Primordial Ancient Cauldron. In his eyes, this cauldron seemed to be his only partner, his only comrade, his only reliance!

At this moment, his gaze was as hard as a rock, and with heavy steps, he resolutely walked towards the door of light, heading to the last level of the Hidden Path Secret Realm.

As before, the feeling of darkness and dizziness struck again.

When Ning Lu opened his eyes again, five towering stone pillars of good fortune appeared in front of him, each of which seemed to contain supreme power.

The three pillars in the middle towered into the sky, a full twenty or thirty zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length), while the two pillars on the left and right sides were equally impressive, also a full ten zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length) or more.

Ning Lu looked up and saw two figures already sitting on the two pillars in the middle, both with their eyes closed, sitting cross-legged, surrounded by golden light.

"It seems that the three pillars in the middle should be more effective than the two pillars next to them, and it is easier to comprehend high-grade good fortune!"

With this thought, Ning Lu jumped up, his figure soared into the sky, and flew directly to the third pillar in the middle.

Suddenly, Ning Lu felt a chill coming from behind him, and an icy voice sounded.

"Boy! Get out of the way! The third pillar of good fortune is mine!"

Ning Lu turned around abruptly and saw Chen Xuan, the young master of the Hengmo Sect, riding a huge ink dragon, rushing towards him rapidly.

"Five Elements Sword Technique!" Ning Lu shouted in his heart, and the five-colored light in his hand burst out suddenly.

In an instant, a five-colored flying sword, like a cannonball out of the barrel, slammed into the huge ink dragon.

"Damn it! Dodge quickly!" Chen Xuan looked at the oncoming five-colored flying sword, feeling extremely anxious, and kicked the ink dragon hard.

But the flying sword was so fast that even if the ink dragon tried its best, it was too late to dodge.

"Roar!"

The sword pierced the ink dragon's body, and suddenly blood spilled into the sky, and the entire ink dragon began to tremble violently, its body tottering, and it let out mournful wails.

"Damn it! What a waste!" Chen Xuan gritted his teeth in anger, frustrated and furious, madly scolding the ink dragon, and glared fiercely at Ning Lu in the sky.

Ning Lu didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Xuan at all, his figure flew directly to the third pillar of good fortune, sat down cross-legged, and began to concentrate on comprehending his own good fortune.

The pillars of good fortune have a layer of protection for cultivators. Once a cultivator sits on the pillar, they will be surrounded by golden light, and outsiders cannot break through this defense at all.

When Chen Xuan saw this, although his heart was filled with anger, he had no choice but to obediently sit on the leftmost short pillar.

According to the records in the classics, good fortune has four grades from low to high: Yellow-grade good fortune, Mysterious-grade good fortune, Earth-grade good fortune, and Heaven-grade good fortune!

When the four grades of good fortune are formed, the pillars of good fortune will change into different colors, from low to high: blue, cyan, silver, and gold!

At this moment, four of the five pillars of good fortune have been occupied, and now there is only one seat left.

Good fortune is the ability of a cultivator to comprehend the power of heaven and earth and create their own unique technique. Even if the quality is average, the killing power is often equally great.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to obtain good fortune, not only do you have to wait bitterly for ten years, waiting for the opening of the Hidden Path Secret Realm.

At the same time, you must also arrive at the fifth level of the Secret Realm, and more importantly, you must ensure that your speed is fast enough, otherwise even if you arrive at the fifth level, if the five pillars of good fortune are full, you will still have no chance to comprehend good fortune.
