Chapter 585: Immortal Seed: Your Arrival
As Chu Ning rushed into the light curtain, he instantly felt everything around him become isolated.
He could sense the foreign devil in the form of a black-robed man, who had been right behind him, also entering the light curtain.
But at this moment, the man's presence had vanished again.
Chu Ning had already experienced the wondrous nature of the various restrictions on the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain.
So at this moment, he wasn't overly surprised.
Instead, he looked around.
In front of him, he saw a light curtain with faint restriction fluctuations.
"Spirit Sealing Nine Intentions!"
After a brief observation, Chu Ning felt restriction fluctuations on the light curtain that were extremely similar to the Spirit Sealing Nine Intentions.
What surprised Chu Ning slightly was that the restriction fluctuations on the light curtain were noticeably weaker.
"With this level of restriction strength, even without the Spirit Sealing Nine Intentions, I could break through it with some time."
He muttered to himself.
But since Chu Ning had already mastered the Spirit Sealing Nine Intentions, he naturally wouldn't seek a more distant solution.
He performed a series of incantations, casting them onto the light curtain ahead.
Soon, the restriction fluctuations on the light curtain disappeared.
A man in his early thirties appeared.
This man was tall and robust, with long arms.
When Chu Ning saw the man's face, he couldn't help but exclaim in his mind.
"Ninth Derivative Ascendant!"
"Since this secret realm records the cultivation path of the Ninth Derivative Ascendant, could this be his appearance before he embarked on the path of cultivation?"
Chu Ning had a vague guess, and the next moment, his heart stirred, and he extended a strand of divine sense, slowly probing the light curtain.
The divine sense touched the light curtain, and the next moment, it was directly drawn into it.
Chu Ning's vision instantly switched, and he found himself in the body of the robust man, standing in a mountain forest.
He began practicing mundane martial arts.
Each move and technique felt strangely familiar to Chu Ning.
"Nine Yin Body Tempering Technique!"
Although it was slightly different from the Nine Yin Body Tempering Technique that Chu Ning cultivated, it already had a faint resemblance.
Especially as he practiced more, each move and technique became increasingly similar to the Nine Yin Body Tempering Technique that Chu Ning had initially learned.
The robust man that Chu Ning possessed also felt his body becoming stronger and stronger.
One day, while practicing the Nine Yin Body Tempering Technique, the robust man felt an invisible and intangible gas suddenly enter his body.
The robust man was slightly startled, and the next moment, he continued practicing the Nine Yin Body Tempering Technique without stopping.
More and more spiritual energy entered his body and began to circulate within.
The robust man felt that he could now perform many movements that had previously only been in his imagination.
At this moment, following the circulation of these energy flows, he began to incorporate other body-refining movements.
"The first volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, first layer!"
Chu Ning witnessed the robust man's continuous exploration and improvement of his cultivation method.
Until the spiritual energy within his body began to be retained and transformed into magical power.
Second layer, third layer...
At this moment, Chu Ning was completely immersed in the Ninth Derivative Ascendant's exploration and cultivation.
He saw the man searching through various scriptures, traveling to various mountains and rivers, trying to understand more about this world.
He witnessed the man discovering a spirit fruit, and after consuming it, his magical power surged.
Thus, the Ninth Derivative Ascendant began searching for various spirit herbs and fruits, using them to enhance the power within his body.
Chu Ning saw him encounter other cultivators who had also awakened to the path of cultivation.
Some of these cultivators did not draw in spiritual energy through body refinement like the Ninth Derivative Ascendant, but instead, spiritual energy entered their bodies mysteriously.
Some of them had their bodies explode due to the influx of spiritual energy.
Others were fortunate enough to successfully guide the spiritual energy within their bodies and began to devise their own cultivation methods.
The Ninth Derivative Ascendant started teaching his Nine Transformations Body Refining Art to different cultivators, engaging in mutual discussions.
Many ordinary people began to cultivate the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, also entering the path of cultivation.
This world began to see more and more cultivators, beasts, and spirit beasts.
The Ninth Derivative Ascendant always stood at the forefront, creating the second volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art from the first.
He cultivated from the Qi Condensation stage to Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul...
Until one day, he felt that his cultivation of the second volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art had reached perfection, but he could not progress further.
So, the Ninth Derivative Ascendant began to travel to various famous mountains and rivers.
He consumed various heavenly materials and treasures, refined different pills, and even practiced other cultivators' cultivation methods.
But he still couldn't find a way to improve.
Until one day.
"Spiritless Island!!"
Through the Ninth Derivative Ascendant's vision, Chu Ning arrived at Spiritless Island.
After that, the Ninth Derivative Ascendant discovered the existence of Origin Stones and Primordial Power.
The first cultivator in the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain realm began to try to integrate Primordial Power into his cultivation.
He modified the first two volumes of his Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, allowing it to absorb both spiritual energy and Primordial Power.
But this was obviously not enough, so he began to attempt to create the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art.
Combining spiritual energy and Primordial Power into one.
At this moment, Chu Ning seemed to transform into the Ninth Derivative Ascendant, comprehending the fusion of spiritual energy and Primordial Power bit by bit.
From the initial mutual repulsion to peaceful coexistence, and then to the point where they could be slightly fused.
"Ten Thousand Arts Fruit!"
At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly thought of the Ten Thousand Arts Fruits he had eaten before.
With the help of the Ten Thousand Arts Fruit's miraculous effect, he had only cultivated the Five Elements Chaos Art and the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, yet he had managed to fuse both spiritual energy and Primordial Power.
In terms of the effect of fusion to produce essence energy, it was no different from the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art.
The Ninth Derivative Ascendant's comprehension of the fusion of the two powers, along with Chu Ning's initial fusion of the two powers after consuming the Ten Thousand Arts Fruit, were combined at this moment.
Chu Ning couldn't help but immerse himself in this comprehension.
He vaguely felt that if he continued to comprehend in this direction, he might be able to find the ultimate path that perfectly fuses the two powers.
But at this moment, the Ninth Derivative Ascendant's cultivation insights abruptly stopped.
Through the Ninth Derivative Ascendant's vision, the spiritual energy in the world began to change.
A type of Heavenly Qi, stronger than ordinary spiritual energy, started to appear in the world.
At this moment, the Ninth Derivative Ascendant, with the help of the not-yet-perfect third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, could easily absorb this Heavenly Qi.
At the same time, other cultivators who had reached the late-stage Essence Incarnation were also absorbing the higher-grade Heavenly Qi, preparing to break through to the next realm.
Ninth Derivative Ascendant's intention to create a more complete third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art began to waver.
He started to absorb the new Essence Energy of the world by relying on the incomplete third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art.
In doing so, he replaced the Magical Power he had cultivated for many years.
The speed of this replacement was far beyond Ninth Derivative Ascendant's imagination.
In just a short century, the person who had always been at the forefront of cultivation in the Nine Transformations Realm...
...once again took the lead among all cultivators.
Transforming from Nascent Soul to Divine Soul, he advanced to the Divine Transformation stage!
"Is this the feeling of fully harnessing the power of Essence Energy?
Indeed, Essence Energy is a more formidable force!
If one is at the same level, harnessing Essence Energy can almost completely suppress cultivators who rely on Magical Power!"
Chu Ning, through his Divine Sense, perceived Ninth Derivative Ascendant's transformation as he converted his entire Magical Power into Essence Energy, advancing to the Divine Transformation stage.
At this moment, his body could clearly sense that this realm could no longer accommodate such a high level of cultivation.
It was time to ascend!
However, Ninth Derivative Ascendant did not immediately ascend and leave.
He forcefully suppressed his cultivation and began to refine the entire Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain into a small space.
He imparted to the world the first two volumes of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, which he had perfected and improved.
Until one day, Ninth Derivative Ascendant shattered the void and departed.
As Ninth Derivative Ascendant's figure disappeared in the void, Chu Ning felt a strand of his Divine Sense return.
The light curtain in front of him had long since vanished without a trace.
He was no longer in front of that light curtain but was now in a spacious cave.
Before Chu Ning's Divine Sense could perceive the surroundings, he first sensed a peculiar energy permeating his body.
"Essence Energy!
No, to be precise, it's the Heavenly Qi that cultivates Essence Energy!!"
Chu Ning was familiar with this Heavenly Qi; he had experienced it before in the Ten Thousand Arts Tree's secret realm.
When he had just comprehended Ninth Derivative Ascendant's cultivation, he had also experienced it.
Almost instinctively, Chu Ning began to cultivate the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, absorbing this Essence Energy.
As the Heavenly Qi was absorbed, the large amount of Essence Energy that Chu Ning had previously consumed was quickly replenished.
After cultivating for a while, Chu Ning felt that the Essence Energy within him had fully recovered.
At this moment, as Chu Ning continued to absorb the Essence Energy in this place, he discovered that his Magical Power was also undergoing a transformation, gradually converting into Essence Energy.
This situation naturally surprised Chu Ning.
He had cultivated Essence Energy before.
By cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Art and the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art simultaneously, he could absorb both Spirit Energy and Primordial Power, cultivating some Essence Energy within his body.
However, once the cultivation of Magical Power or Primordial Power was complete, it was impossible to convert it further within the body.
But at this moment, with the help of the Heavenly Qi in this place and the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, he had achieved it.
Watching the Magical Power in his body continuously transform into Essence Energy, Chu Ning felt both joy and melancholy.
The might of Essence Energy was far superior to ordinary Magical Power, so having more Essence Energy within him was undoubtedly a good thing.
However, his melancholy stemmed from the fact that he could clearly sense the Heavenly Qi in the cave rapidly decreasing?
Even if he absorbed and refined all the Essence Energy in this place, he estimated that only one percent of his Magical Power could be converted.
Indeed, after cultivating for a while longer, Chu Ning completely absorbed and refined all the Essence Energy in the cave.
As the Heavenly Qi dried up, the cycle of converting his Magical Power into Essence Energy abruptly stopped.
Chu Ning opened his eyes with a hint of regret.
He surveyed the spacious cave once more.
The entire stone cave appeared ordinary, without any Heavenly Materials that caught Chu Ning's attention.
After carefully exploring with his Divine Sense, Chu Ning turned his gaze towards the stone wall deep within the cave.
Because at that moment, he sensed a trace of Heavenly Qi on that wall.
Chu Ning flew over to the wall and carefully extended his palm.
A faint strand of Heavenly Qi, almost imperceptible, circulated in his palm.
"Is there Heavenly Qi behind this wall?"
A glimmer flashed in Chu Ning's eyes, and he carefully probed the wall with his Divine Sense once more.
"There's no barrier; it's just like an ordinary stone wall."
Chu Ning muttered to himself, feeling slightly surprised.
After all, every place of significance in the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain had barriers.
Immediately, Chu Ning extended his Divine Sense into the stone wall, but he was blocked after penetrating less than thirty zhang.
"It's as if the Heavenly Qi has formed a barrier here."
After a brief hesitation, Chu Ning used the Earth Escape Technique and directly sank into the wall.
As soon as he reached the thirty zhang mark, Chu Ning was about to end the Earth Escape Technique.
But at that moment, to his great surprise, the Earth Escape Technique proceeded without any hindrance, and he plunged downward!
Chu Ning's reaction was swift; he immediately halted his descent, preventing himself from falling into the unknown abyss below.
Just as Chu Ning was about to extend his Divine Sense to sense the surroundings, a leisurely voice sounded from behind him.
"You've arrived!"
This voice seemed to come from ancient times; in just three words, Chu Ning felt as if it contained endless years.
Chu Ning abruptly turned around.
Ten zhang away, he saw a seed similar in shape to the Golden Spirit Seed and Wood Spirit Seed that he had absorbed and refined before.
This seed was transparent, without any radiant light on its surface.
But after Chu Ning took a glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
It was as if this transparent seed, just by existing, embodied all the arts of the world!
"Immortal Seed!"
Chu Ning exclaimed involuntarily.
