Chapter 591: Five Elements Chaos Art, Not Simple! (6K Combined)



As soon as Chu Ning entered the training chamber, he rummaged through his storage bag, taking out a pile of items.

He began to take stock of his gains from this journey.

This trip to the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain had been incredibly fruitful.

Of course, the most important thing was encountering the Immortal Seed and obtaining the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art.

This also helped him clarify the direction of his future cultivation.

The ancient art of Spirit Sealing Nine Intentions, a method of setting up and lifting restrictions, would surely prove useful in the future.

In addition to the treasures he acquired, there were quite a few, and Chu Ning took them out one by one.

Not to mention the late-stage Essence Incarnation cultivators he had killed, there were also many treasures obtained from the Ninth Derivative Ascendant.

The first item Chu Ning took out was, of course, the Annihilation Hammer.

He had already experienced the destructive power of this Spirit Treasure, and its might would be even greater if combined with Essence Energy.

When Chu Ning's gaze fell upon the items he had obtained from the Spirit Mountain Cliff, his eyes lit up.

"Kalpa Stone, Divine Void Wood..."

Chu Ning took a quick glance at the various materials inside, and his attention was immediately drawn to them.

Many of these artifact refinement materials were the same as those given to him by Master Hansong of the Mystic Spirit Sect for crafting a spatial artifact.

"That's right! When the Ninth Derivative Ascendant crafted the entire Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain into a small space, he was probably refining this type of spatial treasure."

Overjoyed, Chu Ning carefully separated and placed these materials aside.

Then, he examined the other materials.

Among them, he found one of the materials needed to refine the Thunderfire Staff.

"With this, along with the materials collected earlier, I only need two more thunder-attributed materials to refine the Thunderfire Staff."

Chu Ning took out the refinement method for the Thunderfire Staff from his storage bag and carefully compared it.

In the past, he hadn't been in a hurry to refine the Thunderfire Staff.

After all, he already possessed the Shadow Demon Spear, a treasure with formidable destructive power.

He also had the Ziyang Spirit Flame and the Dark Yin Blue Flame, two Heaven-Earth Spirit Flames.

Moreover, he had obtained the Annihilation Hammer at the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain.

However, since even the Immortal Seed had mentioned the Thunderfire Staff, and pointed out that it was an imitation of an immortal artifact, with power surpassing ordinary Spirit Treasures, Chu Ning paid more attention to its refinement.

As he carefully studied the refinement method of the Thunderfire Staff, Chu Ning fell into deep thought.

"To truly refine this treasure, I might need to advance to the late-stage Essence Incarnation.

Perhaps I'll even need to cultivate more Essence Energy; otherwise, there might be some difficulty in the refinement process."

With this thought, Chu Ning reached into his storage bag and took out another item—the Mystic Heaven Mirror, a Spirit Treasure he had obtained from the Tai Xu Abyss.

Previously, Chu Ning had tried multiple times but failed to find a way to control this treasure.

However, after using the Annihilation Hammer and gaining some understanding of the Thunderfire Staff, Chu Ning had a vague guess.

He infused mana into the Mystic Heaven Mirror, but it showed no reaction.

Then, Chu Ning activated the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, mobilizing the Essence Energy within his body.

Instantly, the Mystic Heaven Mirror flashed with white light, and a powerful suction force emerged, drawing Chu Ning's Essence Energy into the mirror at an alarming rate.

His face paled slightly, and he immediately stopped activating the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, halting the infusion of Essence Energy.

"I just had a feeling that even if all my Essence Energy is poured in, it might not be enough to truly activate this Mystic Heaven Mirror.

This treasure's power is so immense, even surpassing the Annihilation Hammer of the Ninth Derivative Ascendant.

Could this also be an imitation of an immortal artifact?"

Upon realizing this, Chu Ning was delighted.

He put the Mystic Heaven Mirror back into his storage bag.

Then, he continued to take stock of his gains from this trip.

In addition to the various treasures obtained from the Ninth Derivative Ascendant, the rest were acquired from the cultivators he had killed.

The first item Chu Ning took out was another Starplume Fan from the Starfeather Sect.

When Chu Ning had taken the Starplume Fan from Tong Changhong, he had already experienced its power.

The fan's might was not weak, but it wasn't enough to impress him.

However, after witnessing Tong Changhong and Shan Tianqi using it, Chu Ning realized that to unleash its true power, it needed to be combined with a special secret art.

Later, after capturing Tong Changhong's primordial spirit and searching his soul, Chu Ning obtained the method to control this treasure.

"There are three of these Starplume Fans, and only when the three of them are used together in an array formation can their power be maximized.

Even a single fan, when combined with a secret art and the power of the stars, is already stronger than ordinary magical treasures.

If all three are used in an array formation, their might might even rival that of a Spirit Treasure."

At this moment, Chu Ning decided to inscribe the secret art and the method of cultivating star power onto a jade slip.

Although this item wasn't particularly useful to him, in the future, it could still exert considerable power in the right hands.

Chu Ning then picked up the items he had obtained from the two Demon Vortex Sect cultivators.

When Chu Ning had first obtained them, he had already gained a general understanding of their nature.

Now, he directly picked up several items that had caught his eye.

The first one he held was Huang Kui's white bone staff.

This treasure was indeed a powerful magic weapon, but Chu Ning had no particular use for it.

However, the staff was enveloped in demonic energy, filled with yin energy, and faintly, one could see various malevolent souls within.

Chu Ning immediately summoned two Golden Thunder Eagles from his Spirit Beast Pouch.

The two eagles sensed the malevolent souls on the White Bone Staff and instantly let out a joyous cry.

Chu Ning casually tossed the staff to the eagles and scolded them with a smile, "You two, it seems like you haven't been putting much effort into your cultivation.

These various malevolent souls have given you plenty to devour.

If you don't advance soon, you'll be stuck guarding this island from now on!"

"Guuu!"

Hearing Chu Ning's scolding, the two eagles immediately let out pitiful cries.

Then, grasping the bone staff, they flew out of the Training Chamber.

They went outside to continue their cultivation by devouring more souls.

Chu Ning shook his head with a smile.

In fact, what he had just said was indeed a joke.

Speaking of which, the speed of the two eagles was indeed quite impressive.

They were just a step away from advancing to the eighth grade.

In terms of cultivation talent, the two eagles were fundamentally incomparable to White Spirit, a Heaven-Earth Spirit Beast.

The reason they were able to reach such a level in over a hundred years was twofold.

Firstly, during their incubation, Chu Ning had used the Mystic Life Art to improve their root bones.

Secondly, they had been following Chu Ning for many years, devouring countless malevolent souls.

However, even so, the hurdle from the seventh to the eighth grade was not easy to overcome.

Both eagles were just a step away from breaking through, and this time, after devouring the various malevolent souls within the bone staff, it was uncertain if they could overcome this hurdle.

After the two eagles left, Chu Ning picked up a Profound Yin Pearl.

"This object will be of great use to Zijin's cultivation. I can give it to her when we return to the Western Alliance Continent."

"Hmm, this..."

As Chu Ning collected the Profound Yin Pearl, he rummaged through the other items.

At this moment, another small black bead, no bigger than a pinky finger, caught his attention in a jade box.

"It seems to be a Demon Orb that has condensed True Demon Energy."

Chu Ning was quite familiar with the True Demon Energy of the Demon Cultivators from the Immortal Demon World, and he recognized it at a glance.

However, when he examined it more closely, his heart suddenly jolted.

The bead, at this moment, seemed to have come alive, and with just a glance, Chu Ning felt his Divine Sense rapidly depleting.

Chu Ning's heart trembled, and he immediately activated the True Spirit Art to protect his Sea of Consciousness, turning his gaze away.

"This is not an ordinary Demon Orb infused with True Demon Energy."

Holding the black bead, Chu Ning was slightly startled.

There was no doubt that this object was related to the Demonic Deity.

The demonic energy it contained was not particularly strong, but the fact that it could affect even his Divine Sense was indeed peculiar.

After some thought, Chu Ning took out the Shadow Demon Spear from his hand.

If nothing unexpected had happened, this object should have been a Demon Weapon left behind by a True Demon from the Immortal Demon World.

Previously, various Demon Orbs containing True Demon Energy could be absorbed by the Shadow Demon Spear.

But it was unclear how this one would react.

Chu Ning infused his Magical Power into the Shadow Demon Spear and carefully brought the Demon Orb closer.

When the Demon Orb was near the spot on the Shadow Demon Spear where a large Demon Orb was originally embedded, the small Demon Orb instantly transformed into a black light and vanished into the spear.

Immediately, Chu Ning felt that the Demon Energy within the Shadow Demon Spear, which had been depleted recently, was now fully replenished.

Not only that, but within the Demon Orb on the spear's handle, there was a small bead embedded, as if it had grown eyes.

"It seems like the power of the Shadow Demon Spear has slightly increased, and it can attack the Divine Sense of the Primordial Soul!"

A glint of joy flashed in Chu Ning's eyes.

At this stage, the Shadow Demon Spear was undoubtedly one of his most powerful weapons.

The enhancement of its power was indeed a pleasant surprise for Chu Ning.

After obtaining the Profound Yin Pearl and the Demon Orb, Chu Ning began to deal with the other items in Huang Kui and the Elder from the Demon Vortex Sect's possessions?

There were indeed many good items, but none brought Chu Ning the same surprise as the previous ones.

After dealing with both of their belongings, Chu Ning picked up the various items belonging to Lu Xuedao and Fan Zeixian.

The first thing Chu Ning held in his hand was, of course, their Restriction Tokens.

The tokens had the words 'Longsky' written on them, with a very ancient style and various talisman patterns engraved on them.

They were obviously used to activate restrictions.

Chu Ning infused his Magical Power into the Restriction Tokens according to the method Fan Zeixian had previously mentioned.

As he recited the incantations, the talisman patterns on the tokens flickered.

They could indeed be activated.

"It seems that Fan Zeixian didn't lie to save his life.

With this, if I go to the Northern Cold Land, I can directly take control of the Longsky Pavilion and the Ice Island Immortal City!"

A glint flashed in Chu Ning's eyes.

Before this, he had not been particularly interested in having his own power.

Chu Ning's primary concern was how to quickly improve his cultivation and achieve longevity.

However, this trip to the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain had completely changed Chu Ning's mind.

The most important reason, of course, was still the Immortal Seed.

At this moment, Chu Ning had mixed feelings about the Immortal Seed.

The Immortal Seed had given him the ability to refresh his talent, which was a crucial reason why Chu Ning was able to establish himself in this world and grow so rapidly to his current level.

However, the formidable background of the Immortal Seed also made Chu Ning feel a bit apprehensive.

Whether it was to prepare for the potential surprises the Immortal Seed might bring or the uncertainties that the Immortal and Demon World cultivators could introduce, having one's own power seemed like a more reliable guarantee.

The Nine Flower Sect would undoubtedly side with him, but that was clearly not enough.

The Longsky Pavilion had a certain power base, and if it could be consolidated, it would be a good move.

As for Lu Xuedao and Fan Zeixian's artifacts and other treasures, they were naturally desirable.

However, for Chu Ning, who already possessed numerous treasures, they weren't particularly enticing.

Chu Ning took a brief look and then set them aside.

After categorizing the various treasures, Chu Ning left the cultivation chamber and arrived at the spacious area outside.

He patted the Spirit Beast Pouch, summoning White Spirit and the Earth Rhino Dragon.

"White Spirit, take the Earth Rhino Dragon around Purple Light Island and inform him of the entry and exit restrictions."

"For the next period, we'll cultivate here first."

As Chu Ning spoke, the Earth Rhino Dragon's divine sense had already started scanning the surroundings.

Upon sensing the presence of the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, it immediately retracted its divine sense.

Having previously performed the Beast Spirit Technique with Chu Ning, it was naturally aware of the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle's Demigod Realm status.

Instead, it curiously asked Chu Ning:

"Master, is this vast Purple Light Island occupied only by you for cultivation?"

Chu Ning nodded and smiled, "Indeed. If you find a place you like, you can start cultivating there right away."

"I want to go out and take a look around!"

At this moment, the Earth Rhino Dragon blinked its big eyes.

"I entered the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain not long after my birth and spent tens of thousands of years confined in that small space.

I want to see what the outside cultivation world is like."

Chu Ning glanced at the Earth Rhino Dragon, feeling a sense of sympathy for it.

Without hesitation, he agreed, "That's fine, but it's better for you to transform into a human form. It'll be more convenient whether you go to cultivator cities or other places."

After some thought, Chu Ning added, "Also, it's best if White Spirit accompanies you."

"That's great!"

As the Earth Rhino Dragon spoke, it transformed into the form of a middle-aged man.

Chu Ning then reached into his Storage Bag and took out the Beast Spirit Ring and a bag of Spirit Stones, handing them to White Spirit.

"The Earth Rhino Dragon has reached the peak of Tier 10, and wearing this Beast Spirit Ring doesn't offer much help in cultivation.

It's better for you to use this treasure so that your cultivation can progress faster.

With your cultivation and abilities, as long as you don't intentionally provoke the major sects, there shouldn't be any issues.

If you encounter any trouble, I can sense it through the Beast Spirit Ring's secret technique."

"Master, rest assured!" White Spirit said with a hearty laugh.

"I'll take Brother Dragon around, and we won't cause any trouble. You can focus on your cultivation."

Chu Ning nodded. White Spirit had been by his side for many years and was no longer the same as when they first met, always eager to roam around.

The Golden Thunder Eagle nearby heard that White Spirit and the Earth Rhino Dragon were going out and immediately made a cooing sound.

White Spirit laughed, "You two can't transform yet, so it would be too eye-catching to go out together. Stay on the island and cultivate."

After saying this, White Spirit led the curious Earth Rhino Dragon away.

As their figures disappeared, the voice of the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle reached them.

"This Earth Rhino Dragon is a bit more pitiful than this old turtle."

As the voice sounded, the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle's leisurely figure quickly approached Chu Ning.

"This old turtle has also been trapped in the Tai Xu Abyss for many years, but its age is considerably younger.

"Before being captured and thrown into the Tai Xu Abyss, I was already close to transformation and had learned the art of cultivation.

That's how I managed to cultivate to the Demigod Realm.

This brother is older than me, and he entered the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain at such a young age. It's likely that he relied solely on his innate abilities to gradually cultivate to the tenth tier and achieve transformation.

Second, I wish to borrow some Origin Stones from Fellow Daoist to aid the Elder Turtle in his cultivation."

"Please feel free to use them as you need," Chu Ning said, taking out ten large Origin Stones from his storage bag and handing them to Cangxuan Spirit Turtle.

"I do have some Origin Stones here, so please use them for now.

However, if we continue cultivating for a long time, we may need to find more."

"I once found Origin Stones in the Northern Cold Land and the Western Alliance Continent. This Skylid Continent should also have similar places."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. When the time comes, I will accompany you to search for them," Cangxuan Spirit Turtle politely replied after receiving the Origin Stones from Chu Ning.

In a flash, Cangxuan Spirit Turtle's figure disappeared, and he began his cultivation on a deserted mountain peak.

As Cangxuan Spirit Turtle went off to cultivate, Chu Ning returned directly to his training chamber at the Seven Immortals Rock.

Sitting cross-legged, Chu Ning began cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Scripture, the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art, and the True Spirit Art, carefully regulating his breath.

Then, he simply fell asleep.

During his journey to the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, Chu Ning had been constantly engaged in battles. Although the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk helped him recover his magical power quickly, the frequent and intense battles, coupled with the mental strain throughout the journey, left even someone of Chu Ning's cultivation level feeling a hint of fatigue.

This time, he had a good night's rest.

When Chu Ning woke up, he instantly felt his mental state was excellent.

Sitting cross-legged in his training chamber, Chu Ning circulated the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art, condensing a ball of essence energy between his hands.

He carefully sensed it.

Then, Chu Ning retracted the essence energy back into his body.

Holding the Origin Stone, he began cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Scripture and the second volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art.

Once again, he felt the fusion of spirit energy and primordial power, and at this moment, Chu Ning made more discoveries.

"The essence energy I cultivate is not as harmonious as the essence energy I felt on the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, nor is it as refined as the essence energy Elder Turtle previously displayed.

This means that my current method of cultivating essence energy is not the best.

But why can the Five Elements Chaos Scripture and the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art, when cultivated together, form essence energy? It can't be that any cultivation method for magical power, when combined with the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art, can cultivate essence energy."

At this moment, Chu Ning fell into deep thought.

Cultivating essence energy was definitely not this simple; otherwise, the first batch of cultivators, like the Ninth Derivative Ascendant, wouldn't have needed so much time to explore.

And it was impossible for no cultivator to have discovered it in the past twenty thousand years.

Thinking this, Chu Ning began circulating the Flame Godwood Technique, combining it with the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art.

As expected, he couldn't fuse them into essence energy.

Chu Ning carefully recalled the first time he successfully cultivated essence energy.

"At that time, to refine the medicinal power of the Ten Thousand Arts Fruit, I cultivated both the Five Elements Chaos Scripture and the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art.

The restricted area where the Ten Thousand Arts Fruit was located should still have remnants of the Heavenly Qi, and this fruit was also condensed from the Heavenly Qi.

So, the Five Elements Chaos Scripture and the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art only refined essence energy at that time, which isn't very indicative.

After leaving the restricted area, when I cultivated both methods simultaneously, it was the true fusion of spirit energy and primordial power to form essence energy.

In the end, apart from the fact that the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art can indeed refine primordial power, it's also related to the Five Elements Chaos Scripture's method of refining spirit energy."

After this thought flashed through his mind, Chu Ning held the Origin Stone and began cultivating the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art.

Based on the insights into the Ninth Derivative Ascendant's cultivation path, although the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art can also fuse two powers, its effectiveness is minimal.

This fusion effect is far less than its ability to drive the cultivator's existing essence energy.

So, Chu Ning didn't have high hopes for this cultivation.

And indeed, that was the case.

Chu Ning found that his cultivation speed was much slower than when he cultivated the Five Elements Chaos Scripture and the second volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art simultaneously.

"The most likely reason is that the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art already has some effect in driving essence energy.

In refining primordial power, it is also quite effective.

However, in refining spirit energy, it is not as good as the Five Elements Chaos Scripture.

The Five Elements Chaos Scripture is not simple..."

At this moment, Chu Ning began to re-examine the cultivation method of the Five Elements Chaos Scripture.

According to the records of the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Nine Transformations Sect, this method was obtained by him and another friend by chance, and it was rumored to have evolved from an Immortal Rank Codex.

"An Immortal Rank Codex? If it's as the Immortal Seed said..."

Chu Ning's eyes flickered with contemplation.

That meant the Five Elements Chaos Scripture might have been passed down from the Immortal Demon World?

Could it be that some cultivator from the Immortal Demon World brought it to this world? "If that's the case, the Five Elements Chaos Scripture isn't complete. The true complete version should be the entire Immortal Rank Codex.

Of course, the second volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art might not be the best for refining primordial power either.

So when I cultivate both methods, the essence energy I condense isn't as harmonious."

Chu Ning frowned slightly.

"But if there's a higher-level Immortal Rank Codex than the Five Elements Chaos Scripture, the chances of finding such a treasure in this world are slim."
