Chapter 599: The Ten Thousand Law Incense is Not From This Realm?

"So this is the Ten Thousand Law Incense?" Chu Ning asked, his eyes glinting as he examined the long, fruit-like strands hanging upside down from the tree branches.

The tree before him was remarkably similar to the one he had encountered when he consumed the Ten Thousand Dharmas Fruit.

Except for the fact that he had seen the fruit back then, and now he was looking at the Ten Thousand Law Incense hanging from the tree, there were hardly any significant differences between the two.

At this moment, Chu Ning found himself in a forbidden area within the Sky Vault Palace.

This place had never been open to outside cultivators in previous years.

Three days ago, he had arrived at the Sky Vault Palace with the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle after a long journey.

Upon seeing Chu Ning and the sacred turtle, the grand cultivator Lu Zongyuan was surprised but naturally didn't dare to show any disrespect.

When Chu Ning expressed his desire to see the Ten Thousand Law Incense and even asked to see its origin, Lu Zongyuan was put in a difficult position. He frankly told Chu Ning that this forbidden area had never been shown to cultivators outside the Sky Vault Palace.

However, Chu Ning suspected that the reason for this was probably because the offered benefits were not sufficient.

So, Chu Ning took out the dragon hide he had obtained not long ago from the Tenth Rank Golden Scaled Serpent he had recently killed.

This hide was shed by the serpent when it advanced from the ninth to the tenth rank.

A complete hide of a ninth-rank spirit beast was no small treasure for a sect like the Sky Vault Palace.

As soon as Chu Ning took it out, Lu Zongyuan's resolve wavered.

And so, Chu Ning found himself here.

The Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, on the other hand, remained as a guest in the Sky Vault Palace, as Lu Zongyuan was wary of bringing him into the forbidden area due to his sensitive identity.

Hearing the surprise in Chu Ning's words, Lu Zongyuan curiously asked, "Oh, it seems you're quite astonished, Daoist Chu."

Chu Ning nodded, not mentioning the Universal Tree, and said with a smile, "I thought the Ten Thousand Law Incense grew on the ground, but I never expected it to hang from a tree."

Then, as if casually, Chu Ning asked, "Daoist Lu, I won't hide it from you. I, Chu Ning, have seen and read quite a few records of various treasures.

The reason I wanted to see this Ten Thousand Law Incense is that I have never seen or even heard of such a spirit plant in Beihuan.

I wonder if you could satisfy my curiosity and tell me the origin of this spirit plant?"

Lu Zongyuan smiled and replied, "Daoist Chu, there's no real need to hide this from you.

If you're truly interested, you could probably find out with some inquiries.

To be honest, I don't know much about the specific origins of this tree."

As he spoke, Lu Zongyuan walked to the tree bearing the Ten Thousand Law Incense and patted it gently.

"This tree has been in this forbidden area since the establishment of the Sky Vault Palace ten thousand years ago.

It used to belong to a power in the Horizon Grassland.

However, according to some ancient records, this tree seems to have some connection to the invasion of the Beyond-World Demons back then.

It's highly likely that it wasn't originally from this realm."

"Not from this realm?" Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat.

If what Lu Zongyuan said was true, could it be that the Ten Thousand Law Incense was brought into this realm by a cultivator from the Immortal Demon World?

If it was truly so precious, why was Lu Zongyuan so generous in bringing him here to observe it?

Just then, Lu Zongyuan continued, "Although this plant might not be native to this realm and is somewhat extraordinary, to be honest, its benefits to us cultivators are limited.

The Ten Thousand Law Incense does aid in the cultivation of the Nascent Soul's divine sense for Nascent Soul cultivators like us, but the improvement is not very significant.

As for its assistance in comprehending the Dao, it's even more dependent on individual opportunities.

Some people find it effective, while others don't benefit much from it."

At this point, Lu Zongyuan smiled at Chu Ning.

"I wonder, Daoist Chu, did you come here seeking the Ten Thousand Law Incense for the cultivation of your divine sense or to aid in your comprehension of the Dao?"

"Previously, I did gain some insights into the Dao with the help of this incense," Chu Ning replied honestly.

"So, this time, I not only wanted to see where the Ten Thousand Law Incense grows but also hoped to trade for a few more with Daoist Lu," Chu Ning added.

Hearing this, Lu Zongyuan's eyes widened in surprise.

"You were able to gain insights into the Dao with the help of the Ten Thousand Law Incense?

It seems you're quite lucky, Daoist Chu."

Lu Zongyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, the incense is more beneficial for comprehending the Dao for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, the Dao they cultivate is usually not too profound.

For Nascent Soul cultivators like us, the greater benefit is the enhancement of divine sense, which may also increase the chances of strengthening the Nascent Soul.

Initially, when I gave you the incense, it was mainly because I believed it could provide an increase in divine sense for Nascent Soul cultivators like us when first used.

I didn't expect you to gain insights into the Dao with its help."

"Lu Zongyuan was indeed speaking the truth.

In terms of status within the Sky Vault Palace, the Ten Thousand Law Incense is indeed not as valuable as the Sand Disc.

He only agreed to the exchange of items because of Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, a Demigod Cultivator.

Otherwise, with his position as the Grand Elder of the Sky Vault Palace, his first thought would have been to reclaim it directly if not for the presence of Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.

After all, at that time, Chu Ning had not yet fought Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai.

Lu Zongyuan didn't pay much attention to Chu Ning either.

And that's why, at this moment, Lu Zongyuan couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed as he spoke.

After all, at this moment, he wouldn't dare to equate Chu Ning with an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Hearing Lu Zongyuan's words, Chu Ning finally understood why he wasn't particularly resistant to bringing him here.

However, at this moment, Chu Ning was not angry but rather pleased.

The Ten Thousand Law Incense wasn't as highly valued within the Sky Vault Palace, which was good news for him.

At least, it seemed easier for him to obtain the Ten Thousand Law Incense.

Indeed, as soon as Chu Ning finished speaking, Lu Zongyuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Friend Chu, although this Ten Thousand Law Incense bears fruit every time, it takes about a hundred years for it to mature enough to be ignited.

Moreover, the time it takes to mature and harvest is very short, and once it falls to the ground, it will be immediately reabsorbed by the tree.

We still have some left in the Sky Vault Palace, but not a lot.

I can only give you three, I'm not sure if it's enough."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning realized that the Ten Thousand Law Incense had similar characteristics to the Ten Thousand Dharmas Fruit.

Hearing Lu Zongyuan offer three, Chu Ning's heart rejoiced.

However, his face didn't show any hint of joy, but rather a look of difficulty as he said, "Friend Lu, I won't hide it from you.

Although this treasure is somewhat helpful to my cultivation, its effect hasn't reached the stage of sudden enlightenment.

I need to continuously ignite this incense to receive its benefits.

Three is indeed a small amount, and I'm afraid it won't be of much help to me. Could you spare a few more?"

"Three is not enough?" Lu Zongyuan's face also showed a hint of difficulty.

"Friend, the complete dragon hide of a Ninth Rank Demonic Beast is indeed precious.

But even for us in the Sky Vault Palace, it takes a lot of effort to refine it into a treasure.

I can't ask for too much more, or I won't be able to explain it to my fellow disciples..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and a massive creature appeared.

"Tenth Rank Golden Scaled Serpent!"

Lu Zongyuan's divine sense scanned it, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

As he examined it more carefully, his eyes lit up.

He discovered that the Tenth Rank Golden Scaled Serpent before him was not only exceptionally intact but had also died not long ago.

This treasure would be of great use to the Sky Vault Palace.

In fact, the corpse of a Tenth Rank Demonic Beast is a great treasure for all sects.

After all, it's not easy to hunt down a Tenth Rank Demonic Beast.

Normally, even two Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators might not be able to kill a Tenth Rank Demonic Beast.

Each time a Demigod Cultivator takes action, the consumption is enormous, and it may cost them a significant portion of their lifespan.

Lu Zongyuan's gaze shifted from the massive corpse of the Golden Scaled Serpent to Chu Ning.

"Friend Chu, I wonder if the essence spirit of this Golden Scaled Serpent is still intact?"

Chu Ning shook his head, indicating that it was not.

A hint of regret flashed across Lu Zongyuan's face, and he immediately asked again, "Friend Chu, how many Ten Thousand Law Incense do you want for this Tenth Rank Golden Scaled Serpent?"

Chu Ning smiled faintly after hearing this.

"How many are you willing to trade for it, Friend Lu?"

Lu Zongyuan paused for a moment before saying, "How about twenty? We don't have many of these Ten Thousand Law Incense in the Sky Vault Palace.

This offer should be enough to show my sincerity."

Twenty.

Hearing the number Lu Zongyuan offered, Chu Ning nodded inwardly.

Honestly, this number exceeded his expectations before coming here.

After all, he hadn't anticipated the importance of the Ten Thousand Law Incense to the Sky Vault Palace.

However, at this moment, Chu Ning decided to test him, "Twenty is indeed a considerable amount, Friend Lu.

But if possible, I'd like thirty."

"Thirty?"

Lu Zongyuan frowned tightly and shook his head.

"Friend Chu, this is really putting me in a difficult position.

We don't have that many in total..."

"What if I add this?"

Chu Ning extended his hand, and a long spear appeared in his palm.

It was the long spear treasure he had obtained along with the Golden Scaled Serpent.

"Is this treasure the Golden Scaled Serpent's Soulbound Treasure?"

Lu Zongyuan also had some speculations at this moment and immediately asked, "I wonder if this treasure was originally condensed with a strand of the Golden Scaled Serpent's Essence Spirit?"

After receiving Chu Ning's affirmative reply, Lu Zongyuan's eyes flashed slightly once more.

He eagerly asked, "Did it?"

"Yes, but it's not much. It should be the Essence Spirit mark that the serpent left behind."

This Essence Spirit mark was somewhat similar to a cultivator's Divine Sense mark and wasn't particularly strong.

It was also for this reason that Chu Ning hadn't directly devoured it into the Golden Spirit Sword at the time.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zongyuan nodded and said, "Good, since you, Daoist Chu, want this Ten Thousand Law Incense so much, I, Lu, will agree.

Our sect has a Golden Core Cultivator who just took a branch of Ten Thousand Law Incense from the sect yesterday. I think he hasn't used it yet.

I'll go and ask him to return it now."

As he spoke, Lu Zongyuan called for Chu Ning to leave the Forbidden Ground together.

The Ten Thousand Law Incense was indeed important to Sky Vault Palace.

However, as he had said earlier, it was mainly beneficial for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.

For Nascent Soul Cultivators, if they want to enhance their Divine Sense, there are other treasures besides the Ten Thousand Law Incense.

But the complete Physical Body of a Tenth Rank Spirit Beast, along with its treasure, was different.

Using Sky Vault Palace's secret techniques, if these two things were refined further, there was an eighty percent chance that Sky Vault Palace would gain an additional Late-stage Nascent Soul battle power.

This was a twofold increase in probability compared to having only the serpent's Physical Body.

In comparison, these Ten Thousand Law Incense weren't that significant for Sky Vault Palace.

In Lu Zongyuan's opinion, this deal was very worthwhile.

At this moment, after receiving Lu Zongyuan's affirmative reply, Chu Ning also felt a slight joy in his heart. He bowed to Lu Zongyuan and said, "Thank you, Daoist Lu."

From Lu Zongyuan's actions, Chu Ning could guess that the Golden Scaled Serpent would be of great use to Sky Vault Palace.

Moreover, it was very likely that it wouldn't be used for refining treasures as he had thought.

However, this didn't matter to Chu Ning.

The Physical Body and treasure of a Tenth Rank Spirit Beast were indeed valuable, but they weren't of much use to Chu Ning at the moment.

The Ten Thousand Law Incense was different.

When Chu Ning created the first layer of the Primordial Divine Art, he had already felt the help this treasure provided to him.

If it could guarantee such effectiveness, with thirty branches, he only needed to use it at critical moments, and it would be enough for him to use it for a long time.

It would probably be enough even to create a complete Primordial Divine Art.

This way, it would be a win-win situation for both parties.

After taking one last look at the ancient tree with the Ten Thousand Law Incense, Chu Ning left the Forbidden Ground with Lu Zongyuan and returned to Sky Vault Palace.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly, and Chu Ning successfully completed the trade with Lu Zongyuan.

He didn't linger and left Sky Vault Palace with the thirty branches of Ten Thousand Law Incense, along with the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.

He then directly left the Horizon Grassland.

By now, he had accomplished all his goals on the Skylid Continent, so there was no need to stay any longer.

For Chu Ning, the next step was to find a suitable place to cultivate, refine the first layer of the Primordial Divine Art to perfection, and continue to comprehend and create the second layer.

Of course, he also needed to continuously improve his cultivation and strive to advance to the Late-stage Nascent Soul as soon as possible.

"The second layer's cultivation, which involves merging with Ice Attribute Spirit Energy, can indeed be done in Longsky Hall and Ice Island Immortal City!"

Immediately, Chu Ning, along with the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, headed towards the teleportation array location he had obtained from Fan Zexian.

"You said that the teleportation array is near Demon Vortex Sect, and this sect seems to have a Demigod Cultivator.

If I enter their territory, I might attract attention.

I'm afraid they might make a move when we teleport.

Why don't I stay in your Spirit Beast Pouch instead?"

As soon as they left the Horizon Grassland, the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle took the initiative to suggest to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning had no objections.

The Cangxuan Sacred Turtle immediately smiled and said, "Actually, if it weren't for you asking me to help you show off, I would have thought of this earlier.

Flying around every day is too tiring."

As he spoke, the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle's body flickered, and he directly entered one of Chu Ning's Spirit Beast Pouches.

Chu Ning couldn't help but smile at this moment.

He had never seen a Spirit Beast as lazy as the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.

Was this the reason why it could advance to the Half-God stage with its single-minded cultivation?

This thought flashed through Chu Ning's mind, and he transformed, changing his appearance.

With the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle's appearance, his new look was also eye-catching.

When he had killed Huang Kui of Demon Vortex Sect, although no cultivators had witnessed it, the sect members might associate it with him afterward.

It was better to change his appearance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

A month later, Chu Ning flew into the territory of Demon Vortex Sect.
