Chapter 593: Unexpected Harvest, Chu Ning's Renowned Name
Chapter 593: Unexpected Harvest, Chu Ning's Renowned Name
Chu Ning's heart trembled, and he immediately channeled his mana with all his might.
However, the power of the thunder was overwhelming, and no matter how hard Chu Ning tried to manipulate his mana, he couldn't contain it.
At this moment, Chu Ning could only divert a stream of mana to closely follow the path of the thunder power.
If the thunder power was too overwhelming for his body, he would promptly use his mana to repair the damage.
As a result, two distinct mana circulation paths formed within Chu Ning's body.
One was the Five Elements Chaos Scripture that Chu Ning had been refining and improving over the past three years.
This path was more complex, with various branches converging and diverting nearly eighty percent of his mana.
The other path was simpler, resembling one of the main branches of the mana circulation.
Approximately twenty percent of his mana followed this route.
After circulating his mana in this manner for a while, Chu Ning suddenly realized that the newly entered thunder power was also flowing through these two paths within his body.
However, this new influx of thunder power was not as violent as the previous one.
Instead, it was very similar to the thunder power he had previously guided using the Five Elements Chaos Scripture.
A thought flashed through Chu Ning's mind, and he once again diverted his mana to envelop this stream of thunder power.
This time, the mana he manipulated did not resist or clash.
Guided by Chu Ning's mana, it merged directly with the other thunder power within his Dantian.
All the mana completely fused together.
"Adding this new branch to the Five Elements Chaos Scripture allows me to absorb even more thunder power."
This discovery thrilled Chu Ning.
Two more waves of thunder power descended, and Chu Ning continued to absorb and refine them using this method.
None of the thunder power could cause him any harm; instead, it was all refined and circulated within his mana.
After a while, Chu Ning, still feeling unsatisfied, raised his head.
At this moment, the thunder in the sky subsided, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed.
"The thunder tribulation has ended!"
Realizing this, Chu Ning immediately stopped circulating his mana.
Simultaneously, he looked up at the two Golden Thunder Eagles.
The previous heavenly thunder was too much for the two eagles to bear entirely, so some of it must have struck them from the outside, which Chu Ning could absorb and refine.
However, what followed was the infusion of spirit energy for the eighth-stage transformation.
Chu Ning naturally wanted to avoid absorbing the spirit energy of the two eagles.
At this moment, Chu Ning's gaze fell upon the two eagles, whose auras appeared somewhat listless, undoubtedly due to the injuries they sustained during the recent tribulation.
Yet, the auras emanating from the eagles were significantly stronger than before, indicating that they had indeed advanced to the eighth stage.
Their eyes shone brightly, both gazing at the dense spirit energy gathering in the sky.
The next moment, the rich spirit energy descended from the sky, transforming into two waterfalls of spirit energy that enveloped the eagles.
"The simultaneous tribulation of two Golden Thunder Eagles causes an unusual disturbance in spirit energy.
However, the previous heavenly thunder must have already attracted the attention of other cultivators.
When the eagles complete their transformation, there will likely be cultivators coming to investigate."
This thought crossed Chu Ning's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
Even if the two eagles had just undergone their transformation and their combat prowess wasn't fully unleashed, with Chu Ning's presence, not just anyone could come and cause trouble.
Chu Ning intently watched the two eagles absorbing and refining the spirit energy, his eyes filled with curiosity.
He wondered what differences there would be in the appearance of the two eagles after their simultaneous tribulation.
As Chu Ning pondered, the spirit energy continued to flow into the Golden Thunder Eagles, and their auras grew increasingly powerful.
Finally, as the spirit energy fluctuations subsided, the two eagles' spirit power surged, their auras awe-inspiring, with no trace of their previous listlessness.
"Cree!" "Cree!"
Accompanied by two joyous cries, the golden thunder light on the eagles' bodies flickered.
The next moment, two distinct forms appeared before Chu Ning.
Da Jin still retained his eagle body, but his neck and above had taken on a human form—a robust-looking young man.
On the other side, Xiao Jin had grown a pair of human legs, but his waist and above remained in his previous eagle form.
The transformation of the two Golden Thunder Eagles was not as complete as White Spirit's initial transformation.
However, from their respective forms, one could roughly imagine what the Golden Thunder Eagles would look like after their complete transformation.
Chu Ning smiled and said, "Da Jin, Xiao Jin, congratulations on your advancement to the eighth-stage transformation!"
At this moment, the two eagles glanced at each other, curiosity evident on their faces.
Hearing Chu Ning's voice, they turned their heads towards him.
After exchanging a look, they both spoke in human language, "Thank you, Master!"
After reaching the eighth stage, demonic beasts, even if not fully transformed, could speak human language.
Communication would be much more convenient from now on.
Chu Ning was not surprised; he merely smiled and nodded.
Then, he raised his gaze to the horizon and extended his divine sense.
"Fellow Daoists, the advancement of our island's spiritual birds has caused a celestial phenomenon. Please leave now!"
A light shout, transmitted through divine sense, echoed a hundred li away.
A hundred li away, several cultivators were present at that moment.
In the group was an elder, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Suddenly, a shout reached his ears, causing him to pause momentarily.
His divine sense probed the area, and upon seeing Chu Ning standing in mid-air with two Golden Thunder Eagles, a look of surprise and suspicion flashed across his face.
But the next moment, his expression changed drastically.
"Run!"
With a low shout, he turned and led the other four cultivators away at high speed.
Seeing the elder's unusual expression, the other four didn't dare ask questions and immediately followed after him, quickly retreating.
After flying for hundreds of miles, they noticed the elder slowing down, his face relaxing slightly.
A middle-aged beautiful woman finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Father, what happened just now?"
In her memory, the elder, who was at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul and close to the late-stage, had always been cautious when going out to sea.
However, it was rare for him to show such a drastic change in expression.
At this moment, she was filled with curiosity.
The other three cultivators shared her curiosity, and they all looked at the elder.
Hearing the woman's question, the elder paused, and his divine sense swept behind them. Assured that no other cultivators were approaching, he spoke in a deep voice, "There was indeed a demon beast undergoing the Thunder Tribulation on that island, and there were two of them. But those demon beasts had a master.
Their master, also at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, was guarding them."
"So what if there's a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"
The beautiful woman was puzzled.
"A regular mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator shouldn't be a match for you, Father. Shouldn't we go and take a look?"
"But he's not an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator," the elder said with a bitter smile.
"Not only me, but even if the Senior Apprentice Brother Sect Head were here, he would have to avoid his sharp edge."
The elder's words shocked the other cultivators.
"Do you remember what major event happened on the Skylid Continent three years ago?" the elder asked.
"Three years ago, Master, are you referring to the emergence of the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain?" a middle-aged cultivator replied.
"The appearance of the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain was probably the most sensational event on the Skylid Continent in the past thousand years.
Back then, numerous late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects went to the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain and perished.
All the cultivators from the Starfeather Sect, Demon Vortex Sect, and Cloud Essence Sect were wiped out.
Now, with the three major sects severely weakened, the nine major sects' status is in jeopardy.
Oh, and our old rival, the Watermyst Sect's Sect Master Meng Shiyuan, never returned either.
Our sect's ability to seize territory and grow stronger over the past few years is closely related to this event."
As the middle-aged cultivator spoke, the elder and the other cultivators nodded in agreement.
"You're right, this is indeed the biggest event on the Skylid Continent in a thousand years.
At that time, something else happened that shocked all Nascent Soul cultivators."
The elder's face took on a peculiar expression as he spoke.
"When the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain's space collapsed, the Great Elder of Heaven's First Sect, Meng Xinghe, and the Great Elder of Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Luo Duanhai, joined forces to intercept a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
In the end, after the three of them fought, Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai were both severely injured."
"What?"
Hearing the elder's words, the four Golden Core cultivators beside him showed expressions of shock.
"Father, did that mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator use some secret technique before dying? How could he severely injure two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators?" the middle-aged beautiful woman asked.
The elder shook his head and said, "That mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator didn't die, and he wasn't even slightly injured.
If it weren't for the intervention of two Demigod cultivators, those two Great Elders would have likely perished."
"So, the Great Elders of Heaven's First Sect and Ten Thousand Demon Sect, who are probably the strongest late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators on the Skylid Continent, were severely injured by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?" the middle-aged beautiful woman asked, her face showing shock.
Just as she finished speaking, she realized something, and her expression turned to one of horror.
"Father, you don't mean that the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator on that island was..."
"That's right!" The elder nodded heavily.
Then he took out a jade slip from his bosom.
"This person's appearance is exactly as the Senior Apprentice Brother Sect Head described to me.
He is that mysterious cultivator named Chu Ning."
The elder's words shocked the four cultivators, and their faces changed dramatically.
At this moment, they finally understood why the elder had hurriedly led them away earlier.
If the two top late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators on the Skylid Continent had been severely injured by him, killing these five would be effortless.
Seeing the horrified expressions on their faces, the elder solemnly handed the jade slip to them, saying, "I never expected that this fellow cultivator would be cultivating in this sea area.
Remember his appearance, and if you encounter him in the future, do not provoke him under any circumstances.
Also, keep today's events a secret.
If any news leaks out and causes trouble for the sect, you will be considered traitors."
"Yes!"
The cultivators passed the jade slip around, each taking a look, and their faces turned solemn as they listened to the elder's serious tone.
However, the four Golden Core cultivators couldn't help but think about Chu Ning's appearance and the remarkable feat the elder had mentioned.
"This senior cultivator looks so young, yet at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, he severely injured the Great Elders of Heaven's First Sect and Ten Thousand Demon Sect.
What an awe-inspiring feat!"
