Chapter 600: Earth Spirit Illusion Array, Gale Wind Dagger
Chapter 600: Earth Spirit Illusion Array, Gale Wind Dagger
The teleportation array leading to the North Cold Continent was still some distance away from the Demon Vortex Sect.
According to what Fan Ze Xian had said, they still had some reservations about Huang Kui.
Therefore, they did not reveal the location of the teleportation array to him.
However, as Chu Ning flew towards the teleportation array, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
"Why is the Demon Vortex Sect so vigilant about those entering this realm for cultivation?"
At this moment, Chu Ning, who was flying in the air using the Forbidden God Technique, naturally wouldn't be noticed by ordinary Demon Vortex Sect cultivators.
But he found that when cultivators entered this area, they would be stopped and questioned by the Demon Vortex Sect cultivators.
This made Chu Ning somewhat cautious.
"It seems that I shouldn't rush to the teleportation array. Let's first find out what's going on."
With this decision made, Chu Ning started searching for his target.
Using his divine sense, he scanned the area and found three Demon Vortex Sect cultivators about three hundred li away, interrogating another cultivator.
Chu Ning flew straight towards them.
At this moment, Chu Ning had changed into a slightly cold demeanor, and his aura was suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage.
A faint killing intent emanated from his body.
For someone who had dealt with Demon Path cultivators many times, this was not a difficult task.
Without using the Forbidden God Technique, Chu Ning was sensed by the three cultivators when he was still some distance away.
The three of them immediately flew towards Chu Ning.
"Stop!"
When they were still dozens of zhang away, a middle-aged cultivator with a fierce appearance shouted.
Chu Ning immediately halted and looked at the three of them with caution.
"May I ask who you are, fellow cultivators?"
"Indeed, we are the Demon Vortex Sect cultivators responsible for patrolling this area. Who are you?"
The fierce-looking middle-aged cultivator glared at Chu Ning.
Chu Ning's face naturally showed a hint of fear.
"So, you're from the Demon Vortex Sect. I'm Li Qun, a loose cultivator.
I'm heading to Black Eagle City to purchase some items."
Black Eagle City was the second-largest cultivator city near the Demon Vortex Sect, and it was in that direction.
Chu Ning was already very familiar with the geographical location of the Demon Vortex Sect.
The fierce-looking middle-aged man heard this and gave Chu Ning a once-over.
"Going to Black Eagle City to buy things? So, you're also cultivating Demon Path cultivation methods?
Show me your skills."
"Of course!"
Chu Ning cooperated and waved his hands, and a fist shadow filled with killing intent flew out.
With Chu Ning's current cultivation base, casually displaying a Demon Path technique, the other party naturally couldn't see any flaws.
The fierce-looking middle-aged man took a glance.
Then, without showing any approval or disapproval, he said:
"It's indeed a Demon Path technique, but its power is very ordinary.
Alright, you can go!"
"My humble skill is naturally incomparable to the abilities of the Demon Vortex Sect."
Chu Ning spoke as he flew towards the three of them.
When the three Demon Vortex Sect cultivators heard Chu Ning's words, a hint of satisfaction appeared on their faces.
As one of the nine major sects, the Demon Vortex Sect still had a stable position, even though Elder Huang Kui had mysteriously disappeared several years ago.
This was because the sect still had a Demigod cultivator and other Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators.
So, their days weren't too difficult.
With their status, they naturally look down on ordinary loose cultivators.
Just as the three of them were feeling proud, Chu Ning, who had flown to them, casually waved his hand, and a black light flashed and enveloped the three of them.
The next moment, the three of them became dazed and started falling towards the ground.
Chu Ning casually waved his hand, and the three of them slowly landed on the ground.
Looking at the three Demon Vortex Sect cultivators who were unconscious due to his divine sense attack, Chu Ning slowly extended his palm and pressed it on the head of the fierce-looking middle-aged cultivator.
Instantly, after a soul-searching, various information was directly grasped by Chu Ning.
"So, the Demon Vortex Sect discovered a huge spirit mine nearby.
Moreover, with the loss of two Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators from the sect, they were worried that other sects would take advantage of the situation.
That's why they were being extra vigilant."
Chu Ning obtained the information he wanted and felt slightly relieved.
"It hasn't been fully mined for eight or nine years, which means the discovered spirit mine is indeed not small.
However, according to the location they mentioned, the spirit mine is nearly a hundred li away from the teleportation array.
As long as I'm careful, I shouldn't be discovered."
Chu Ning muttered to himself, then used a secret technique to erase the memory of their encounter from the three cultivators.
To be safe, killing them would be the best option.
But Chu Ning was worried that doing so might create more trouble.
With his current divine sense strength and the secret technique recorded in the True Spirit Art, Chu Ning was able to conceal himself from other cultivators as he cast the Divine Prohibition Technique. However, with his powerful divine sense, he could still sense the presence of numerous cultivators in a large mountain range a hundred li away, including many Nascent Soul cultivators.
Chu Ning's divine sense probed the depths of the mountain, reaching nearly a thousand zhang deep, but found nothing. He was surprised and couldn't help but wonder, "Could Fan Ze Xian have deceived me? If this teleportation array isn't here, then this trip would be in vain."
Chu Ning summoned the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, "Turtle friend, do you sense anything unusual?"
The Cangxuan Sacred Turtle probed with its divine sense and also showed confusion, "I don't sense the presence of a teleportation array or any seals below."
Chu Ning then summoned the White Spirit and the Earth Rhino Dragon to sense the area as well. The Earth Rhino Dragon was indifferent, but the White Spirit was usually sensitive to seals. To Chu Ning's slight disappointment, the White Spirit also shook its head, "Master, I don't sense anything amiss either."
Just as Chu Ning was about to use the Earth Penetration Technique to investigate underground, the Earth Rhino Dragon suddenly spoke, "There's a highly advanced Earth Attribute Formation Array about eight hundred zhang below."
Chu Ning was taken aback and turned to the Earth Rhino Dragon, surprised. It wasn't that he didn't trust the Earth Rhino Dragon; it was just that both he and the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle had already probed the area with their divine sense, and eight hundred zhang was not a significant distance for their divine senses. Yet, neither of them had sensed anything.
Sensing Chu Ning's confusion, the Earth Rhino Dragon explained with a smile, "Master, this underground formation array is called the Earth Spirit Illusion Array. It was created by a Incarnation Cultivator who was a contemporary of the Nine Transformations Elder. Its main function is to conceal formations within the earth. It seems to have been lost about ten thousand years ago because the cultivator who inherited this technique perished after entering the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain. I only learned of it by chance from this cultivator's legacy."
"Oh? There's such an array?" Chu Ning had no doubt in the Earth Rhino Dragon's explanation. However, thinking about how this teleportation array had remained undiscovered for so long near the Demon Vortex Sect, he felt it was normal. If not for this special formation array's concealment, it would have been exposed long ago.
Driven by curiosity, Chu Ning asked the Earth Rhino Dragon to lead him underground. After descending eight hundred zhang, the Earth Rhino Dragon stopped. "Master, the formation array is right beneath us. If we don't break the array, even with the Earth Penetration Technique, we can only pass through the area covered by the array."
Chu Ning examined his surroundings, his face showing surprise once more. Even at such close proximity, he couldn't sense the formation array at all. The Cangxuan Sacred Turtle also shared his expression of surprise. Both of them were filled with curiosity. Only the White Spirit's face showed a hint of strangeness.
"I think I sense something, but it's very faint. If Dragon Big Brother hadn't mentioned it, I probably wouldn't have noticed," said the White Spirit.
The Earth Rhino Dragon smiled, "This array is highly concealed, but breaking the seal isn't difficult. We'll break it from the outside, and it won't take much effort. Once I break the array, you'll see."
As he spoke, the Earth Rhinoceros Dragon began forming hand seals, continuously casting one hand seal after another towards the front.
With each hand seal, a faint yellow light gradually emerged from the earth.
Chu Ning could sense this, and he fixed his gaze on the faint yellow glow.
When the yellow glow fully manifested, the entire Earth Spirit Illusion Array became clear to him.
Just as the Earth Rhinoceros Dragon had said, although this array was highly concealed, its defensive capabilities were not strong.
Even if Chu Ning forcefully broke the array, it wouldn't require much effort.
"Earth Rhinoceros Dragon, try not to damage the foundation of this array when you break it.
After we enter, we can restore it, and it might be useful in the future."
"Rest assured, master!"
The Earth Rhinoceros Dragon continued to form hand seals, but with slight modifications.
As each seal was cast, the yellow aura gradually dissipated, revealing the interior.
It was a several-meter-wide earthen cave, inside which was an ancient teleportation array.
"Hmm? This array..."
Upon seeing the teleportation array, Chu Ning let out a cold snort.
"So, Fan Ze Xian was still playing some tricks on me, not mentioning that this array is the same as the one in the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, requiring both Spirit Stones and Origin Stones to activate."
Cangxuan Sacred Turtle was also examining the teleportation array at this moment.
"Aside from that, are there any other peculiarities to this array?"
Although Cangxuan Sacred Turtle had profound cultivation, he was not familiar with this type of array.
Chu Ning stepped into the array and carefully inspected it before shaking his head.
"No peculiarities, but this array has restrictions on teleportation, allowing only one person to be teleported at a time.
Moreover, it's quite old, and if used once or twice more, the force of space might damage it, making it difficult to use again."
Chu Ning pondered for a moment, "Actually, that's not a problem. We can repair it thoroughly before teleporting.
I'm just a bit concerned that Fan Ze Xian might have some tricks up his sleeve, and the place we teleport to might have some peculiarities."
"That's simple." Cangxuan Sacred Turtle smiled.
"You can repair the array first, and once it's ready, I'll teleport over.
There aren't many places in this realm that pose a threat to me. Even if I get trapped somewhere, I can find a way out.
After I teleport and confirm it's safe, I'll return to report to you."
Chu Ning agreed that this method was indeed good.
"In that case, thank you, Turtle friend.
To avoid any mishaps, I'll repair the array first."
Chu Ning took out numerous materials from his storage bag.
Most parts of the teleportation array were in good condition, except for a few array tools that were excessively worn out.
Chu Ning had acquired many array tools over the years, especially in the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, where he obtained many valuable items. After some research, he began replacing the array tools.
A few items weren't readily available, but with the help of Chu Ning's Infant Fire and Earth Vein Essence Fire, he directly refined them.
After several days, Chu Ning thoroughly repaired the teleportation array.
With the final repair complete, Chu Ning smiled slightly, "Done. This array can be used hundreds or thousands of times without issues."
Chu Ning took out several Origin Stones and Spirit Stones, handing them to Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.
"Turtle friend, please go ahead."
Cangxuan Sacred Turtle took the Origin Stones and Spirit Stones and embedded them into the array.
The next moment, white light flashed on the array, and the force of space rippled.
Just as everything seemed to be going smoothly, a cold snort suddenly echoed through the air.
"A fellow cultivator of the same level comes to my Demon Vortex Sect's territory without informing me. Are you not taking me seriously?"
As the voice fell, Chu Ning felt the entire mountain peak tremble violently.
Even the force of space seemed to momentarily fluctuate.
"Demon Tyrant Lord!"
Chu Ning's expression changed slightly. This Demigod cultivator's actions made him suddenly think of a legendary treasure.
"Gale Wind Dagger!"
As Chu Ning inwardly exclaimed, the white light on the teleportation array disappeared, and Cangxuan Sacred Turtle's figure also vanished.
Chu Ning quickly retrieved several crucial treasures from the teleportation array.
He then summoned the Earth Rhinoceros Dragon and White Spirit into their Spirit Beast Pouch and activated the Divine Prohibition Technique, diving straight into the underground.
