Chapter 241: The Undying Golden Body Perfected, Refreshing the Spirit Body
"Elder Tang Yu."
With the appearance of this person, Chu Ning already had a vague guess about his identity.
The shouts that rang out throughout the sect at this moment also confirmed Chu Ning's suspicions.
True to his reputation as a Nascent Soul cultivator, Tang Yu was not confined by the array's restrictions like Elder Yu Changge.
Instead, he appeared outside the formation, facing Sang Pingnan in mid-air.
"Tang Yu, you've actually come out of seclusion?"
Sang Pingnan seemed slightly surprised to see Tang Yu, and his expression changed subtly.
Tang Yu smiled faintly and said, "How could I continue my seclusion peacefully when Fellow Daoist Sang comes to bully my junior?"
As he spoke, a formidable aura surged from Tang Yu's body, pressing towards Sang Tiannan and the others.
While Chu Ning and his companions couldn't sense it, they could guess what was happening by the fact that Ao Langtian and the others had all activated their defensive shields.
Just then, Sang Tiannan flicked his sleeve.
Then, his surprised voice rang out once more.
"It seems, Brother Tang, that your cultivation has progressed significantly during your seclusion?"
Tang Yu laughed lightly, "Just a slight improvement."
Upon hearing this, the few Golden Core cultivators from the Great Luo Sect behind Sang Tiannan exchanged glances, unsure how to react.
On the other hand, the cultivators of the Nine Lotus Sect all showed delighted expressions.
At this moment, Tang Yu's aged voice sounded again, "Brother Sang, after I found out about this matter, shall I send you a message?
At our age, let's not give the youngsters a reason to laugh at us."
Sang Tiannan looked deeply into Tang Yu's eyes, and a gleam flashed in his gaze.
"Good! I'll await Brother Tang's message, and I hope you can give our Great Luo Sect a satisfactory response.
Otherwise, I really want to see what kind of divine ability you've cultivated this time."
As he spoke, Sang Pingnan waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
Sang Pingnan came swiftly and left just as quickly.
It was as if he had truly just come to ask a simple question, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there was more to it than met the eye.
Chu Ning looked up at the figure in the air above the mountain gate in the distance, and his eyes couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.
"It seems that the two Nascent Soul cultivators just now secretly competed, and our sect's Elder Tang actually had the upper hand?"
This guess surprised Chu Ning a little.
After all, before this, there were rumors outside that Sang Pingnan was not far from advancing to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
And Tang Yu was also nearing the end of his lifespan.
As Chu Ning pondered this, Tang Yu's voice, with a hint of age, rang in everyone's ears.
"It's nothing serious. Everyone can continue cultivating with peace of mind."
"Yes, Elder Tang!"
Immediately, numerous voices echoed throughout the various corners of the Nine Lotus Sect.
The next moment, Tang Yu and Yu Changge's figures disappeared from sight.
As Chu Ning pondered over the scene he had just witnessed, he suddenly received a transmission from Yu Changge.
Chu Ning was slightly startled and, without returning to his cave abode, flew towards the Nine Spirit Peak.
As soon as he entered the discussion hall of the Nine Spirit Peak, Chu Ning saw Tang Yu sitting in the main seat.
Yu Changge and the nine elders were seated on either side.
"Greetings, Elder Tang," Chu Ning immediately saluted Tang Yu.
Tang Yu looked at Chu Ning, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"You are Chu Ning? Good! The Sect Master already told me about what happened earlier. This time, all the cultivators of our Nine Lotus Sect should thank you. Please take a seat."
Tang Yu's politeness towards him surprised Chu Ning a little.
However, after thinking about it, Chu Ning did not refuse and sat down below Fu Lihong.
Tang Yu smiled at that moment and said, "There's no need to worry. Sang Pingnan only spoke harshly before leaving.
Now that he knows my cultivation has improved, he will have to swallow this silent loss."
Tang Yu's words brought joy to everyone's faces.
Ge Liuyang asked directly, "Master Uncle, are you about to advance to the mid-Nascent Soul stage?"
As soon as Ge Liuyang asked this, the other Golden Core cultivators also looked at Tang Yu with anticipation.
Everyone knew that if he could advance to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, it would be tremendous news for the Nine Lotus Sect.
Tang Yu smiled and shook his head at this moment.
"My cultivation has only improved slightly. Advancing to the mid-Nascent Soul stage? It's not that easy. I'm afraid it's hopeless."
Hearing Tang Yu's words, everyone's gaze dimmed slightly.
Yu Changge spoke up at this moment, "Master Uncle, I also mentioned in my previous transmission that this time, from the Wolong Valley ruins, Chu Ning and the others unexpectedly brought back the Moon Spirit Elixir.
At most, it would be fifty or sixty years, and giving it to me would be a waste.
However, this pill will be of great use to you. After consuming it, your cultivation will advance further, and within a hundred years, you'll have a significant probability of reaching the Golden Core stage."
Speaking up to this point, Tang Yu smiled.
"Ultimately, the future of this Nine Lotus Sect lies with you young disciples."
Before Yu Changge could say anything more, Tang Yu waved his hand.
"That's all. I, this old bag of bones, will strive to hold on for another hundred years or so, shielding you and the other young disciples from the winds and rains."
As he spoke, Tang Yu's gaze shifted from Yu Changge to Chu Ning.
"Chu Ning, your actual age is probably around forty, right?"
Tang Yu's words caused the Golden Core cultivators present to reveal shocked expressions.
From Chu Ning's appearance, they could naturally tell that he had been relatively young when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage and that he wasn't very old now.
However, they never expected that Chu Ning would be this young.
Everyone stared at Chu Ning, awaiting his answer.
Chu Ning was slightly taken aback at that moment. He hadn't expected that Tang Yu would be able to roughly guess his age with just a glance.
He wondered if these Nascent Soul cultivators could also uncover some of his cultivation secrets.
"You don't need to worry," Tang Yu said at this point, smiling. "I've only practiced a certain secret technique that allows me to roughly discern a person's age.
Nascent Soul cultivators may possess some supernatural abilities, but we're not omnipotent."
Hearing this, Chu Ning relaxed and honestly replied, "I'm thirty-nine this year!"
He had entered the Qingxi Sect at the age of fifteen, so indeed, he was around forty years old now, having cultivated for over twenty years.
"Thirty-nine!"
Upon hearing this, even the Golden Core cultivators exclaimed in surprise.
Ge Liuyang whistled in admiration and said, "At thirty-nine, you've reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. Chu Ning, you have a chance to form your Golden Core before you turn seventy!"
The other Golden Core cultivators remained silent, but their eyes were filled with shock.
In the cultivation world, forming a Golden Core within a hundred years was already considered exceptional talent.
Yet, Chu Ning had the potential to form his Golden Core before turning seventy, which was truly astounding!
Hearing these exclamations, Chu Ning remained silent. In his heart, he quietly calculated the time he would need.
If all went well, he estimated that it would take him over ten years to cultivate the fourth layer of the Blazing Fire Divine Wood Art to perfection.
Then, depending on his progress, he would strive to form his Golden Core as soon as possible, hopefully within twenty years or so.
At this moment, Tang Yu's eyes shone with delight.
"Good, Chu Ning. From now on, focus on your cultivation and strive to form your Golden Core early.
As for the Great Luo Sect, don't worry about them too much."
Tang Yu continued, turning to Yu Changge, "This time, they lost a Golden Core cultivator and numerous late Foundation Establishment cultivators.
They also lost a pseudo-Golden Core cultivator, which is equivalent to losing two Golden Core cultivators. That's enough to make them lament for a while.
In a few days, I'll make an appearance at the Cloudsoar Alliance. They won't be able to bring up this matter even if they want to.
As for the disciples who went to Wolong Valley, instruct them not to leave the sect for the short term to prevent the Great Luo Sect from harboring any sinister intentions."
Yu Changge immediately agreed. In fact, he had already made similar arrangements.
Although Chu Ning wasn't ostensibly one of the cultivators who went to the Great Luo Sect, he had no plans to leave the sect either.
For a long time afterward, Chu Ning dedicated himself to cultivation within his cave abode.
The Nine Lotus Sect generously provided all sorts of resources to support Chu Ning, who was the most promising disciple in terms of forming a Golden Core within the next two to three decades.
For Chu Ning, with the Wood-Fire Dual Attribute Twin Spirit Pills, the Jade Bone, and the two Spirit Refining Pills, his cultivation resources were more than sufficient.
After learning that Chu Ning needed fifth-rank demon beast dan to refine the Wood-Fire dual attribute Twin Spirit Pills, Tang Yu personally ventured deep into the Yunxiao Mountains and hunted several fifth-rank demon beasts to obtain their dan for Chu Ning's cultivation.
Time flew by, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, within the cave abode on Lingyan Peak, Chu Ning stood in the cultivation room, his eyes gleaming with a hint of anticipation.
"The refinement of the Jade Bone is progressing slower than I expected. It seems that the further I go, the more difficult it becomes to refine it.
Initially, practicing the Nine Transformations Body Refining Technique once allowed me to refine a strand of its pure energy.
However, the harvest was well worth the effort.
With this in mind, Chu Ning's gaze turned inward to the cultivation proficiency in his mind.
【Blazing Fire Divine Wood Art (High-Ranked Mystical Tier), Fourth Layer (7725/40000)】
【Nine Transformations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Undying Golden Body (9996/10000)】
【Refine God Technique, Fourth Layer (16057/64000)】
In the span of three years, he had cultivated the fourth layer of the Blazing Fire Divine Wood Art to over one-sixth of its proficiency.
And after more than a decade of cultivation, the Undying Golden Body was finally approaching the threshold of perfection.
The three Jade Bones played an indispensable role in this achievement.
"There's still a small portion of this skull left to refine, but the Undying Golden Body has already reached the breakthrough threshold.
If I cultivate a little more today, I should be able to break through!"
With his decision made, Chu Ning wasted no time and began cultivating the Nine Transformations Body Refining Technique.
Instantly, strands of life force energy emanated from the Jade Bone, and under the guidance of the cultivation technique, they started to be refined bit by bit.
After completing five cycles of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Technique, Chu Ning began to feel a familiar scorching sensation in his body.
As he continued to cultivate, the burning sensation gradually faded, replaced by an extremely comfortable feeling.
At the same time, it seemed like a surging power was about to burst forth from within his body.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the familiar feeling of his bodily constraints being released occurred once again.
All the life force energy from the Jade Bone surged into Chu Ning's body in that instant.
And the partially fused Jade Bone rapidly merged with his skull at a visible rate.
Not far away, Ling Xiaobai, who was crouching down, looked at Chu Ning with a pair of curious eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
At that moment, Chu Ning's entire body turned as translucent as jade.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth swiftly gathered towards him, forming a small cyclone of spiritual energy around him.
As if sensing something, Chu Ning sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate once more, but this time, it wasn't the Nine Transformations Body Refining Technique.
He cultivated non-stop for ten days and ten nights.
Only after ten days did the spiritual cyclone around him dissipate, and he slowly opened his eyes, which had been tightly shut during his cultivation.
"This Undying Golden Body reaching the perfect stage is truly beyond my expectations."
Muttering to himself, a strange light flashed in Chu Ning's eyes.
Previously, he had always thought that cultivating the Undying Golden Body was solely about refining his body.
But he never expected that, upon reaching the perfect stage of the Undying Golden Body, he would suddenly sense something.
It seemed that at the moment of breakthrough, his energy refinement and spirit refinement would also experience a certain level of advancement.
Thus, for the next ten days, he continuously cultivated the Blazing Fire Divine Wood Art and the Refine God Technique.
As a result, the proficiency of both his energy and spirit refinement techniques increased rapidly.
"So, my previous inference wasn't wrong. There is indeed a connection between energy refinement, body refinement, and spirit refinement.
Refining energy begins with refining the body, and the body is the foundation. This reasoning seems to make perfect sense."
Chu Ning's eyes flickered as he involuntarily looked at his cultivation proficiency in his mind once more.
【Blazing Fire Divine Wood Art (High-Ranked Mystical Tier), Fourth Layer (8025/40000)】
【Nine Transformations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Undying Golden Body (10000/10000)】
【Refine God Technique, Fourth Layer (16357/64000)】
Both the Blazing Fire Divine Wood Art and the Refine God Technique had increased by a full 300 points!
At this moment, Chu Ning's gaze shifted once more.
Now that the Undying Golden Body had reached the perfect stage, he should also be able to refresh his divine abilities.
The Nine Transformations Body Refining Technique had already granted him four divine abilities: the Heaven-Shaking Fist, the Thunderstep, the Essence-Gathering Slash, and the Soul-Shattering Strike.
Now that he had completed the first volume, he was curious to see what new divine ability he would obtain.
However, when he checked, Chu Ning was surprised enough to exclaim out loud.
"There's both a divine body and a divine ability?"
