Chapter 622: Sword Formation, Returning to the Ice Cave

In the Longsky Hall's Forge Chamber, Chu Ning held several jade slips and two spirit swords of different colors.

"The Chaos Spirit Sword's forging is finally complete!"

After understanding and mastering the forging method of the Thunder Spirit Sword, he then reforged the Frost Dragon Sword, and today, it was finally successfully forged!"

Accompanying his words was a light chuckle of relief.

In front of Chu Ning, the two spirit swords flew up.

At the same time, Chu Ning opened his mouth and spat out, and five spirit swords flew out.

The seven spirit swords, each with a different color, emitted a radiant glow that illuminated the sky.

"Swift!"

Chu Ning pointed, and the seven spirit swords immediately flew up rapidly, quickly forming a sword formation.

Within the formation, various colored glows flickered, and the five-colored glows of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth rotated.

At the same time, streaks of lightning and icy blue rays flashed.

"Change!"

The next moment, Chu Ning pinched another spell.

The various colored glows inside suddenly disappeared, and all the glows merged together. Immediately, countless transparent sword auras appeared within the formation.

Thousands upon thousands of sword auras seemed to shoot out chaotically within the entire formation, but not a single one touched another.

These sword auras were operating according to an extremely profound set of rules.

If someone were within the formation, they would likely suffer the fate of being pierced by countless swords.

"Unite!"

Accompanying Chu Ning's light exhalation.

The seven spirit swords and the countless transparent spirit swords in the air suddenly disappeared, as if returning to their origin.

They transformed into a giant sword.

This sword was one-third larger than the previous Five Elements Spirit Sword.

However, it did not flicker with various colored glows like before; instead, it was transparent and formless, like the sword auras within the formation.

"Sever!"

As Chu Ning's thoughts moved, the Chaos Spirit Sword slashed downward.

But just as the sword body began to tremble, it vanished without a trace.

In the next instant, a transparent spirit sword appeared, as if tearing through space, suddenly appearing several zhang away.

Seeing this, Chu Ning nodded in satisfaction.

Then, with a thought, the transparent giant sword flew back and landed in his hand.

Looking at the Chaos Spirit Sword, as transparent as crystal, Chu Ning nodded in satisfaction and retracted it into his body.

"The forging of the Chaos Spirit Sword is based on the Five Elements Spirit Sword and the Five Elements Sword Formation. I also drew inspiration from the Yellow Wind Banner and the Demon Shadow Halberd, two spiritual treasures.

It possesses devouring and space-breaking abilities, making it not only more powerful but also more challenging to defend against!"

Chu Ning casually put away the jade slip beside him, which recorded the forging method of the Chaos Spirit Sword.

In forging this sword, he had combined the forging techniques of various masters.

However, it was uncertain if future generations would have the ability to forge such a sword.

"The Chaos Spirit Sword has been forged, but as for the Thunderfire Staff and the spatial treasure..."

At this moment, Chu Ning looked at the other two jade slips in his hand and eventually shook his head.

The spatial treasure was the reward he had obtained from Master Han Song of the Xuanling Sect.

Although Xuanling Sect cultivators had improved this type of treasure, allowing Nascent Soul cultivators to control it,

Chu Ning, after careful contemplation, realized that the power used in the forging of this treasure might not be the same as the power he cultivated.

Instead, it required Yuan Li.

Although he had cultivated Yuan Li and could use it with the help of the Nine Transformations Body Cultivation Art,

it was not yet fully integrated, and he could only use it to wield the Unbreakable Hammer or practice the Heaven's Pole Fist without any issues.

However, forging spiritual treasures required extreme precision, and this unintegrated Yuan Li was insufficient.

Of course, Chu Ning also hadn't gathered all the materials needed for forging spatial treasures.

The materials required for such treasures were all rare and difficult to find.

Over the past few decades, Chu Ning had collected some materials from the Treasure Pavilion of the Longsky Hall,

and he had also ordered the Longsky Hall to help collect them, but he currently only had about half of the required materials.

As for the Thunderfire Staff, Chu Ning had already gathered all the necessary materials since his arrival in North Frigid from the Sky Curtain Continent.

However, after careful research, Chu Ning discovered that the forging method of this treasure had some similarities with that of spatial treasures.

It required the use of Yuan Li, not spiritual power.

With only one set of materials, Chu Ning naturally dared not attempt it lightly.

"For now, I'll put aside the forging of these two treasures.

Besides the Chaos Spirit Sword, I have the Annihilation Hammer and the Demon Shadow Halberd, which are top-tier killing weapons.

Oh, and there's also the Celestial Mirror!"

At this moment, Chu Ning reached into his storage bag and took out an ancient-looking small mirror.

This Celestial Mirror was obtained by Chu Ning from the Void Palace in the Void Abyss.

According to legends, this mirror was the treasure of the Void Sect.

Since obtaining it, Chu Ning had attempted to use it multiple times but to no avail.

Now that he had advanced to the late-stage Nascent Soul, he could give it a try.

However, this Celestial Mirror was not his Chaos Spirit Sword, and it was extremely easy for Chu Ning to control.

Chu Ning still didn't know the true power of this treasure, and it wasn't convenient to test it out in the forging chamber.

With this in mind, Chu Ning directly flew away from the Longsky Hall and randomly found an uninhabited place in the Snow Peak Mountains.

Holding the Celestial Mirror, Chu Ning channeled his spiritual power into it.

With his current level of spiritual power, he far surpassed ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, what surprised Chu Ning was that even with his spiritual power, the mirror only had a slight response and couldn't be fully activated.

After some thought, Chu Ning stopped infusing spiritual power and instead directly injected Essence Energy into it.

"Buzz!"

In the next moment, he felt the Celestial Mirror emit a clear humming sound and then fly out of his hand.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light shot out from within the mirror.

As the white light flashed, various spiritual plants within a hundred zhang range disappeared without a trace.

"Huh?"

Chu Ning was surprised and couldn't help but exclaim.

Even he, at this moment, couldn't clearly sense how the white light had erased everything.

Destroying these spiritual plants was not difficult for Chu Ning.

He could easily destroy them with a single spell.

But what truly astonished him was that he couldn't figure out what kind of power this white light contained.

As he marveled inside, Chu Ning once again infused Essence Energy into the Celestial Mirror.

This time, Chu Ning didn't target the spiritual plants.

Instead, he directed the white light towards a nearby, not-too-large snow peak.

As the white light swept by, the hundred-zhang-wide snow peak also vanished.

Chu Ning still couldn't fully sense the attributes of this power.

"This white light doesn't seem to have any attributes I know of, but its destructive power is too strong.

I wonder what would happen if a cultivator were to come into contact with such destructive power."

At this moment, Chu Ning's heart was filled with both surprise and delight.

He could sense the destructive power, which was no less than the might of the Annihilation Hammer.

Perhaps even more so.

But as for the true extent of its power, he had no way of knowing.

Even if he wanted to find a test subject, it seemed impossible.

After all, Chu Ning was concerned that even powerful beings like the Earth Rhino Dragon or the Ice Phoenix, both Tenth Stage Great Demons, might suffer severe injuries under such destructive power.

"It seems I'll have to wait until I encounter an enemy to test it out!"

Chu Ning shook his head and put the Celestial Mirror away in his storage bag.

With the Chaos Spirit Sword, the Annihilation Hammer, and the Celestial Mirror, along with his current level of spiritual power and Essence Energy, Chu Ning believed that even though he wasn't in the Demigod Realm, he had the strength to fight against the top experts of this world.

"I wonder if I can still compete with the Ice Crystal Colossus."

Chu Ning couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He still vividly remembered being injured by the Ice Crystal Colossus when he first arrived at the Longsky Hall.

The pure icy attribute spiritual energy on the Ice Crystal Leaves also left a deep impression on Chu Ning.

"Next, I'll cultivate the second layer of the Primordial Divine Art. The pure spiritual energy from the Ice Crystal Leaves will be of great use to me.

After all, when driven by the second layer of the Primordial Divine Art, whether it's the Five Elements attribute or the icy attribute spiritual energy, they can all be cultivated and transformed.

Currently, I don't have too many Five Elements spiritual treasures in my possession, and I've used up all the thunder attribute treasures during the cultivation of the first layer.

If I can obtain more Ice Crystal Leaves, my cultivation will progress even faster."

Chu Ning contemplated the benefits of the Ice Crystal Leaves while also remembering the power of the Ice Crystal Colossus.

"That Colossus's strength should have reached the Demigod Realm.

No, the Ice Crystal Leaves and the tree roots' attacks both contain Essence Energy, so it should be comparable to a Divine Transformation existence.

However, this tree seems to have some restrictions and can't move, except for the leaves that can attack from a distance, while the tree roots' attack range is limited.

I might have a chance..."

As he thought, Chu Ning casually took out a sealed giant ice jade box from his storage bag.

After opening it, he found two giant ice-blue tree roots inside.

These were the tree roots he had cut off from the Ice Crystal Colossus fifty years ago with the help of the Demon Shadow Halberd and the Five Elements Spirit Sword.

At that time, the Colossus probably didn't expect Chu Ning to have such strength, which allowed him the opportunity to sever two sections of the tree roots.

Over the past few decades, Chu Ning had also taken out these tree roots for research on multiple occasions.

But these tree roots were different from the Ice Crystal Leaves and couldn't be refined or transformed.

Chu Ning had pondered many times but still couldn’t find any specific use for the tree root, so he sealed it in a jade box.

Holding the tree root of the ice crystal colossus, Chu Ning muttered to himself.

"Back when I obtained this tree root, I did consider whether it could be planted and cultivated. After all, I am a spiritual plant cultivator by origin, and it’s a habit to try cultivating these treasures when I obtain them. However, I can clearly feel the aura of the ice crystal colossus within this tree root, an aura with a strong imprint. If I plant it, I’m afraid something unexpected might happen. Back then, I was only at the Intermediate Nascent Soul stage and couldn’t erase this aura imprint. Now that I’m at the Late-stage Essence Incarnation, I might be able to try."

With this thought, Chu Ning once again activated Volume Three of the Nine Transformation Body Cultivation Art, mobilizing the essence energy within his body.

The aura imprint within the tree root was formed by essence energy, and it couldn’t be erased solely with spiritual power.

Fortunately, Chu Ning’s essence energy had significantly increased after advancing to the Late-stage Essence Incarnation.

Although it was somewhat difficult to erase the imprint, the aura was gradually fading.

It took him several days.

Only then did Chu Ning manage to slowly erase the aura imprint from the two tree roots.

Holding the two spirit-infused tree roots, Chu Ning’s eyes lit up.

Although he still didn’t know the origin of the ice crystal colossus, Chu Ning had a strong intuition that these two tree roots could be cultivated.

This intuition was subtle, but having cultivated many spiritual plants during his journey, Chu Ning felt confident that his intuition wouldn’t be wrong.

"First, I’ll go to the ice cave to see the ice crystal colossus. After I come out, I’ll try to cultivate these two tree roots."

Having made up his mind, Chu Ning quickly put away all his items and returned to the Longsky Hall, entering the Treasure Pavilion.

Currently, only Chu Ning could enter the fifth floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

However, Chu Ning wasn’t a greedy person. Many of the treasures on this floor were not yet useful to him, so he hadn’t taken them.

Chu Ning was already very familiar with the various treasures on this floor.

Without lingering, Chu Ning went straight to the wall with the seal.

He also took out a Longsky Token.

Back then, Chu Ning had used both Lu Xuedao’s and Fan Ze Xian’s tokens to open the seal here.

However, over the years, Chu Ning had thoroughly understood the array formations and seals of the Longsky Hall.

As he had thought back then, the Longsky Token with the restriction set by Lu Ziyou was the true main token.

Now, in his hands, the Longsky Token had no restrictions.

Chu Ning infused it with spiritual power and cast a spell.

Indeed, with this Longsky Token, Chu Ning managed to open the seal.

Chu Ning flashed into the ice cave, and the seal behind him fluctuated before returning to normal.

Chu Ning didn’t rush forward immediately. He carefully extended his divine sense to probe ahead.

Finding nothing unusual, he used the Longsky Token again to activate the seal.

Back then, he couldn’t open the seal from the inside out and had to rely on Bai Ling’s innate secret technique.

Now, with the Longsky Token, the seal opened easily once again.

Having confirmed his thoughts, Chu Ning put away the Longsky Token and cautiously walked forward.

Compared to decades ago, Chu Ning’s cultivation and divine sense had greatly improved.

The advancements of the Late-stage Essence Incarnation were comprehensive.

His divine sense could now cover a distance of over two hundred zhang ahead, and he found nothing unusual.

As he delved deeper, his divine sense was increasingly suppressed.

Eventually, it was limited to a distance of about a hundred zhang.

At this moment, Chu Ning stopped.

A hundred zhang ahead was where he had reached before, still about a hundred zhang away from the ice crystal colossus.

Now, he was two hundred zhang away from the ice crystal colossus, but Chu Ning didn’t dare to advance recklessly.

After all, he wasn’t sure if the tree roots could attack from a greater distance after so many years.

Chu Ning gathered a ball of fire in his hand and threw it forward.

The fire sea flashed, dispersing much of the snow mist.

Chu Ning could now clearly see the ice crystal colossus two hundred zhang away.

The ice crystal colossus had apparently detected Chu Ning’s presence but remained still.

Seeing Chu Ning stop and disperse the snow mist, the entire tree began to shake violently, as if extremely angry.

The ice crystal leaves on the tree rustled with a crisp sound as the tree shook.
