Chapter 561: Refining the Spirit Flame, Understanding the Power of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 561: Refining the Spirit Flame, Understanding the Power of Heaven and Earth
"How did I comprehend the power of heaven and earth and absorb spiritual energy?" Chu Ning's question caused White Spirit to pause, then think for a moment before replying, "In my inherited memories, most of the time, there were cultivation techniques to follow."
"It was only at the very beginning, in the Green Canyon Mountain Range, that I relied on my instincts to cultivate."
Chu Ning's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately asked, "Yes, that's right! How did you sense it back then?"
White Spirit tilted her head and thought for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps it was an unintentional sensing and absorption of spiritual energy, which then guided the absorption of more spiritual energy into my body. During this process, I would think about how to absorb even more, so when the spiritual energy entered my body, I would set it in motion within."
"Gradually, it would form spiritual power and follow certain rules."
Hearing this, Chu Ning couldn't help but mutter to himself.
These Heavenly Earth Sacred Beasts' ability to sense the power of heaven and earth was obviously far beyond that of human cultivators or ordinary demonic beasts.
Therefore, their sensitivity to cosmic essence energy was exceptionally keen.
At the same time, their comprehension abilities were also far superior to ordinary beings.
However, with so many spirit bodies within him, Chu Ning's ability to sense and comprehend cosmic essence energy might not be inferior to these sacred beasts.
As for his comprehension of the rules of heaven and earth, combined with his years of cultivation and understanding of the Dao of pills, talismans, artifacts, and arrays, he had also reached a certain level.
"I'll try to comprehend a cultivation technique that suits me!"
At this moment, Chu Ning made a firm decision, even though he knew that this path might not be easy to traverse. Still, he decided to give it a try.
White Spirit, curious, asked, "Master, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Chu Ning shook his head, not answering, but instead reached into his pocket and took out an object, handing it to White Spirit.
"Beast Spirit Ring!" White Spirit blinked at the item Chu Ning presented to her.
"Master, have you refined this treasure?"
"I collected the materials during the recent trading conference and refined it along with the others."
Chu Ning pointed at the Beast Spirit Ring in White Spirit's hand and said, "I'll try to absorb you into the Beast Spirit Ring first for cultivation. You can experience the effects of auxiliary cultivation.
As for the Beast Spirit Secret Art, there's no rush to cultivate it. I'll do it when I have some free time later."
White Spirit immediately nodded in agreement. Chu Ning quickly performed a hand seal and pointed at White Spirit, causing her figure to disappear into the Beast Spirit Ring.
Chu Ning then put the Beast Spirit Ring on his hand.
This Beast Spirit Secret Art was originally obtained from Shen Tu Ping in exchange.
During their confrontation outside Cloudsoaring City, Shen Tu Ping used the Beast Spirit Secret Art to merge with his contracted demonic beasts, greatly enhancing his strength.
Later, he traded the secret art to Chu Ning in exchange for Black Obsidian Gold.
However, since the Beast Spirit Ring had not been successfully refined, Chu Ning had never cultivated this secret art.
Now that it was refined, Chu Ning could cultivate it, but he had too many other things to cultivate at the moment.
He didn't have the mind to cultivate the Beast Spirit Secret Art right away.
Back in the cultivation room, Chu Ning reached into his spirit bag and took out two objects.
They were the silver feather fan he had obtained by severing the Three-Handed Demon's hand and the Purple Golden Fire Lotus he had acquired in the trading at Unity City.
Holding the silver feather fan, Chu Ning examined it curiously.
"I've heard that this Starglow Fan is the Starfeather Sect's treasure, and its power is not to be underestimated. However, I haven't truly witnessed its might in these two instances."
Chu Ning couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The first time he encountered Tong Zhanghong and Dan Tianqi, Chu Ning directly attacked with the Primordial Fire Lotus.
Tong Zhanghong used the Starglow Fan to block much of the Primordial Fire Lotus's power, ultimately only sustaining minor injuries.
Later, when both of them used the Starglow Fan to attack, Chu Ning had already escaped using Ethereal Dodging.
When facing the Three-Handed Demon, Tong Zhanghong didn't have the chance to use the Starglow Fan either.
He was directly repelled by the demon's third hand, and the treasure was then controlled by the demon.
However, despite being subjected to both Chu Ning's Primordial Fire Lotus and the Three-Handed Demon's palm attacks, the fan remained undamaged, proving its extraordinary nature.
At this moment, Chu Ning used his magical power and divine sense to slowly erase the mark left by Tong Zhanghong.
The next moment, he infused his power and began to wield the fan.
"Indeed, this fan's strength lies in its offensive capabilities. Previously, Tong Zhanghong was forced to use it for defense, which prevented him from fully unleashing its might."
After trying it out, Chu Ning gained a certain understanding of the fan's power.
With a wave, numerous wind blades slashed out, forming a dense wind blade net that swept forward.
Chu Ning took out the Yellow Wind Banner and activated it in response.
A yellowish-brown wind dragon collided with the blade net, and both instantly dissipated.
"If this is just the power of the wind blades alone, it can match the might of the Yellow Wind Banner.
This ancient treasure is indeed very powerful."
Chu Ning looked at the Starglow Fan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had fully restored the Yellow Wind Banner and later refined a heavenly demonic beast within it, making it much more powerful than ordinary ancient treasures.
It seems that the Starfeather Sect's inherited treasure, the Starglow Fan, indeed has some hidden secrets to its power.
"Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the fan's full potential. I can clearly sense that there's another method of using it."
Chu Ning could vaguely sense that this power was likely the Star Power that Shi Han Song mentioned.
According to rumors, the Starfeather Sect's cultivation method involves harnessing the power of the sun, moon, and stars. When facing enemies, they can launch attacks that surpass ordinary magical power.
However, Chu Ning had no clue about this so-called Star Power, and at present, he couldn't activate the fan's true might.
Shaking his head, Chu Ning put the Starglow Fan back into his Spirit Bag.
Then, he opened the jade box and took out a Nine Golden Fire Lotus.
At the same time, another box appeared in Chu Ning's hand.
Opening the lid, inside was the Purple Yang Spirit Flame sealed by the Mystic Yin Blue Flame.
"By harnessing the Utmost Yang Energy from the Purple Golden Fire Lotus, I can refine the Purple Yang Spirit Flame. This method is recorded in the Heavenly Fire Chart, and it should work."
According to the method, only a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator could refine it.
But Chu Ning's magical power and divine sense were comparable to that of a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"This should be enough," he thought.
Chu Ning observed it for a moment, then plucked a petal from the Nine Golden Fire Lotus and swallowed it.
The next moment, he unleashed a series of hand seals, breaking the seal on the Mystic Ice Flame in front of him.
The Purple Yang Spirit Flame was exposed, and the temperature in the entire cultivation room soared.
The Purple Yang Spirit Flame seemed to want to refine the entire room.
Chu Ning opened his mouth and spat out an Infant Fire.
Upon closer inspection, a trace of purple-golden color could be seen on it.
Strangely, even Chu Ning's Infant Fire, or the Ground Pulse Essence Fire, would be directly absorbed and integrated if they approached the Purple Yang Spirit Flame.
But at this moment, infused with the Utmost Yang Energy from the Purple Golden Fire Lotus, the Infant Fire instantly enveloped the Purple Yang Spirit Flame.
Chu Ning opened his mouth and sucked in the entire mass of Purple Yang Spirit Flame, which was now wrapped in the Infant Fire.
Even with the protection of the Infant Fire, Chu Ning still felt a scorching breath within his body.
For a moment, it seemed like his five viscera and six entrails were about to be refined by this scorching heat.
Chu Ning immediately followed the refinement method recorded in the jade slip, circulating his magical power.
The Purple Golden Fire Lotus he had swallowed earlier immediately released the Utmost Yang Energy, swiftly enveloping the entire mass of Purple Yang Spirit Flame.
Only then did Chu Ning feel the scorching sensation in his body gradually dissipate.
However, even so, Chu Ning could sense that the Purple Yang Spirit Flame was not stable.
Chu Ning dared not be careless and immediately followed the refinement method from the Heavenly Fire Chart, driving his magical power to refine it.
Ten days later, Chu Ning plucked another piece of the Nine Golden Fire Lotus and consumed it.
Nearly twenty days passed in this manner, and Chu Ning slowly opened his eyes.
"This Purple Yang Spirit Flame is indeed more domineering than the Mystic Ice Flame. With the help of the Purple Golden Fire Lotus, it took almost a month to stabilize and calm this flame.
But to completely refine it, it will likely take at least another year and a half."
Chu Ning pondered silently.
"Moreover, during this year and more, it's best to avoid conflicts and duels with others. Otherwise, I might not be able to suppress this Purple Yang Spirit Flame.
Fortunately, during this time, I should be able to fully cultivate the Fetus Deity Technique."
With this in mind, Chu Ning reached into his Spirit Bag and took out a map.
Unfolding it slowly, the map revealed the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, but there was no other content.
Chu Ning put the map away.
Ever since he learned from the Jian family that the map of the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain would provide indications when the spirit mountain appeared, Chu Ning had been taking it out regularly, but there had been no discoveries so far.
At this moment, Chu Ning had another idea and summoned White Spirit from the Beast Spirit Ring.
"How is your cultivation going in the Beast Spirit Ring?"
White Spirit was delighted to hear this and replied, "Master, the Beast Spirit Ring is truly amazing. It gathers spiritual energy exceptionally well, and my cultivation speed has doubled."
Chu Ning nodded slightly.
"Good, then you can continue cultivating in the Beast Spirit Ring.
As for the Beast Spirit Secret Art, I haven't had time to cultivate it yet."
After saying this, Chu Ning returned White Spirit to the Beast Spirit Ring.
At the same time, he closed his eyes, not circulating any magical power, and carefully sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the world.
Chu Ning had no idea how to comprehend and create a cultivation method suitable for himself.
So, he decided to start from scratch, just like White Spirit's initial cultivation state, by focusing on sensing and absorbing the spiritual energy of the world.
With almost all-attribute spirit bodies and possessing the Wind, Ice, and Thunder Spirit Roots, Chu Ning could clearly sense all kinds of spiritual energy in the world.
