Chapter 634: Spatial Realm
"Too strong!"
At this moment, almost all Nascent Soul Cultivators, including Qin Changkong, could only feel this way.
Chu Ning had only made a few moves, but it was clear to everyone.
He was capable of crushing the Yu brothers! It should be known that this was a collaboration between two Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, and the Yu brothers' tacit understanding made their collaboration far superior to that of two individual Nascent Soul Cultivators.
However, Chu Ning, without fully revealing his strength, was able to achieve this crushing victory.
Such power was truly terrifying.
In contrast to the joyous cheers within the Jiuhua Sect, the numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators in the sky were surprisingly silent.
Their gazes involuntarily turned to Chu Ning, and then they looked down at the slowly rising Yu brothers, their faces filled with dismay.
Chu Ning's Heavenly Flame Sword Art had not fully unleashed its power just now, at least not with the complete fusion of the Purple Yang Spirit Flame.
Moreover, he hadn't relied on the Chaos Spirit Sword.
So, while the power was sufficient to penetrate the Yu brothers' defenses, it wouldn't cause them serious injury.
Of course, suffering minor injuries and taking some time to expel the Purple Yang Spirit Flame from their bodies was inevitable.
At this moment, the faces of the Yu brothers were filled with shock and disbelief.
The confrontation between the two sides had been incredibly brief.
However, whether it was top-tier spells, secret techniques, or magical treasures, they had already exhausted their means.
Yet, Chu Ning had only used a few spells to directly crush and injure them.
Such abilities were indeed perplexing to the Yu brothers.
After several changes in their expressions, Yu Zhifang finally spoke to Chu Ning with a complex tone:
"Chu, your abilities are astonishing. We brothers are far inferior, and we thank you for your mercy."
As Yu Zhifang spoke, his previous arrogance was gone.
Yu Zhiguang, who was usually reticent, also cupped his hands and said:
"I, Yu, am indeed like a frog in a well, unaware that there are such capable people in this world.
Chu, I dare to ask, have you ever fought against Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Sky Curtain Continent?
How do their strengths compare to yours?"
Upon hearing Yu Zhiguang's words, all the Nascent Soul Cultivators pricked up their ears.
Obviously, everyone was paying attention to this question.
Chu Ning was also aware that his answer would affect everyone's confidence.
"I have fought against the Grand Elders of the Tianyi Sect and the Wanmo Sect, the two strongest sects among the top ten sects of the Sky Curtain Continent.
They are known as Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Sky Curtain Continent."
"What were the results?" Yu Zhiguang immediately asked.
Chu Ning smiled faintly and said:
"They were no match for me!"
Chu Ning didn't mention that he was only at the Intermediate Nascent Soul stage back then.
However, even with that, the expressions of the numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators present changed.
Everyone looked at Chu Ning, and involuntarily, a hint of reverence appeared on their faces.
The Sky Curtain Continent was acknowledged by all cultivators as the most prosperous place for cultivation.
Did Chu Ning's words imply that he was the strongest among the Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators in this realm?
At this moment, Yu Changge's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked:
"Junior Brother Chu, when you said you fought against those two, was it a one-on-one fight, or...?"
As soon as Yu Changge spoke, everyone's faces showed a strange expression.
What did these words mean? Could it be...
"They fought together!"
Just then, Chu Ning's calm voice sounded again.
"Sss!"
As soon as Chu Ning spoke, everyone gasped involuntarily.
The two strongest Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Sky Curtain Continent were no match for him, and fighting them together was not a challenge either. This was entirely different.
At that moment, Yu Zhifang and Yu Zhiguang both let out a bitter laugh.
If they had known about this beforehand, they certainly wouldn't have humiliated themselves.
However, if it weren't for Chu Ning's display of power, they wouldn't have believed it without seeing it.
Qin Changkong's expression was also complex at this moment.
The rise of the Yu brothers had already made him feel threatened, but he hadn't expected Chu Ning to appear.
With a slight sigh in his heart, Qin Changkong realized that if Chu Ning and the Jiuhua Sect truly wanted to take control of the Cloudsoaring Alliance, there would be no obstacles.
After all, in the cultivation world, the strong always prevailed.
After Chu Ning demonstrated his strength, he could easily command the alliance, and everyone would respond to his call.
Just like at this moment, numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators approached Chu Ning for conversation.
Their words were filled with warmth and a hint of reverence.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Chu Ning suggested:
"Fellow cultivators, shall we return to the sect to discuss matters?"
Everyone immediately agreed.
They sat down again in the discussion hall, and their eyes were fixed on Chu Ning, waiting for him to speak.
Chu Ning paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "Fellow cultivators, you should have understood my stance from what I just said. I support going near Demon Mountain to gather everyone's strength and eliminate the Beyond World Demons. Even if we can't eliminate them, we should at least find out their intentions. Don't you all wonder why these Beyond World Demons can linger in this realm for so long? And why they don't want to leave?"
As Chu Ning spoke, he turned his gaze towards Qin Changkong. "Fellow Qin, does your sect have any records about this matter?"
"We do have some records," Qin Changkong replied at this moment.
"According to our sect's records, these Beyond World Demons seemed to have come to rule this realm. Moreover, not all of them are like the demons we see; some are not much different from human cultivators. However, most of the Beyond World Demons that appeared in our Western Alliance Continent were demons. As for their purpose in ruling this realm, our sect's elders also couldn't find out."
Chu Ning nodded. "Their purpose is for the Immortal Seeds!"
As soon as Chu Ning's words fell, everyone couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.
"Immortal Seeds? What are those?" Qin Changkong asked in confusion.
"Could it be related to Spirit Seeds?"
"I don't know what Immortal Seeds are either. No cultivator in this realm should have seen them."
Naturally, Chu Ning wouldn't reveal everything at this moment. "But from what I heard in the Sky Curtain Continent, those Beyond World Demons came for this reason. The great changes in the Heaven and Earth's energy back then were also closely related to the invasion of the Immortal Seeds and the Beyond World Demons. It is said that this treasure is also related to the secret of ascending to the Divine Realm!"
"Ascending to the Divine Realm!"
Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, all the Nascent Soul Cultivators' eyes lit up. Whether or not they could reach the late-stage Nascent Soul, this was undoubtedly an extremely attractive matter for everyone present.
Qin Changkong couldn't wait to speak, "Fellow Chu, can you elaborate further?"
Chu Ning shook his head at this moment. "I only heard this much, and I heard that a battle for the Immortal Seeds broke out in this realm ten thousand years ago. I didn't hear more than that. This is one of the main reasons I think we should go to Demon Mountain. We don't know, but those Beyond World Demons should have a clear understanding."
This was indeed what Chu Ning was thinking. In fact, after encountering the Immortal Seeds, Chu Ning had always wanted to find a Beyond World Demon to get a clear answer. But these Beyond World Demons weren't easy to find.
If it were according to what the Immortal Seeds had said, then the cultivation method of the Half-God Realm cultivators in the Sea God Palace was the same as that of the Beyond World Demons. In that case, the Sea God Palace was very likely to have a connection with the Beyond World Demons. However, since they were Half-God Realm beings, Chu Ning didn't rashly approach them.
Now that Demon Mountain was known to have Beyond World Demons appearing, he wanted to get a clear understanding. Of course, the most important reason for Chu Ning's desire to go was still Cen Zijin. But this factor had little to do with the other cultivators present, and he wouldn't mention it.
Chu Ning believed that what he had just said was enough to move all the cultivators present. "Moreover, even if it's not for the Immortal Seeds, if the Beyond World Demons in Demon Mountain really come out to cause trouble, the cultivators of the entire Western Alliance Continent will naturally not be able to live in peace. Fellow cultivators, don't forget that there were also Beyond World Demons lurking in our Western Alliance Continent back then. And when we supported the Ling Cang Alliance, there were also Beyond World Demons in the Heaven's Apex Alliance. In both instances, many of our cultivators were injured or killed."
As soon as Chu Ning finished speaking, Qin Changkong immediately responded, "Fellow Chu, what you say makes sense. Qin has always wanted to go and support them. Eliminating the Beyond World Demons is the primary task before us. As for the competition with the True Martial Alliance, as long as Fellow Chu is here, how can they possibly compete with us?"
After Qin Changkong finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
Yu Zhifang spoke up at this moment, "We also support Fellow Chu's proposal. My brother and I are willing to go to Demon Mountain."
With the Yu brothers taking the lead in supporting the idea, the other cultivators had no objections.
They immediately began discussing who would go.
Since Chu Ning had mentioned the Immortal Seeds, both Qin Changkong and the Yu brothers were extremely interested in Demon Mountain. They all expressed their desire to go.
It was then decided that Chu Ning and the other three late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators would go together, accompanied by a few mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators. Considering the dangers of entering Demon Mountain, only a few early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators with limited lifespans would be left behind.
The remaining Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators were not included in the arrangement.
This was also because the Demon Mountain was once the top treasure site of the Western Alliance Continent ten thousand years ago.
These Nascent Soul Cultivators, whose lifespans were insufficient to reach the Nascent Soul stage, also wanted to take this opportunity to enter and try their luck, hoping for a fortuitous encounter.
Since the decision to go had been made, everyone acted without hesitation and set off directly after a brief discussion.
Chu Ning was concerned about Cen Zijin, and naturally, he was eager to go.
He had originally planned to return to the sect and meet some old acquaintances, but this plan was now put on hold.
A group of thirteen people flew directly towards the Demon Mountain.
...
Demon Qi, within the vast mountain range spanning tens of thousands of miles, the demonic energy was overwhelming.
However, this demonic energy was completely sealed within the mountain range by sealing enchantments, and the outside world couldn't sense it at all.
At this moment, within a certain space in the Demon Mountain, two female cultivators sat cross-legged.
"Zijin, where we are now may truly be inside the Demon Mountain.
But even though we managed to enter, we don't know how to get out."
The speaker was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and it was none other than Shi Xuerong, who had accompanied Chu Ning to the Golden Spirit Seed Spirit Region and later got trapped in Spiritless Island with him.
Sitting opposite Shi Xuerong was Cen Zijin, dressed in white.
Upon hearing Shi Xuerong's words, a hint of helplessness appeared on Cen Zijin's face.
"Sister Rong, my treasure is a spatial treasure, and I've only obtained it recently. I didn't have time to study it in detail.
When we encountered the Beyond World Demon, it was truly difficult to match it. That's when I thought of trying to use this treasure to see if I could rely on a spatial tear to fight it.
But who would have thought that while the Beyond World Demon was indeed devoured by the spatial tear,
under the full-power attack of the Beyond World Demon and the combined effect of my treasure, it unexpectedly opened a spatial node, bringing us to this place.
Now, although I can sense the location of the spatial node through this treasure, with just the two of us, even with the help of treasures, we can't open this spatial node to leave.
I don't know how long we'll be trapped here, and if it were just me, it would be fine. But I'm also dragging you down, Sister Rong."
"Zijin, what are you saying?" Shi Xuerong interrupted at this moment.
"If it weren't for me inviting you out to travel, and then encountering that Beyond World Demon, how could we have accidentally ended up near this Demon Mountain?"
After listening, Cen Zijin smiled and said:
"Sister Rong, let's not blame each other.
Although we can't leave this space, I just took a look around, and the spiritual energy here is abundant.
Moreover, there are many spiritual herbs here, all over ten thousand years old, and many are unheard of by us, probably from an ancient treasure site.
Although we can't leave, we can slowly cultivate. When you reach the Intermediate Nascent Soul stage, perhaps we can open that spatial node and get out."
"Hmm, then I must work hard to cultivate."
Shi Xuerong nodded and then said to Cen Zijin:
"What you just said reminded me of a legend I heard before.
It is said that when the Beyond World Demons invaded this realm, to provide them with resources,
a small space was opened in this realm to cultivate rare spiritual herbs and raise many spiritual beasts.
Could this be that place?
But I don't see any spiritual beasts, which is strange."
Upon hearing this, Cen Zijin immediately smiled and said:
"That's possible, but it's good that there are no spiritual beasts.
If there were spiritual beasts, who knows what cultivation level they would have reached after these tens of thousands of years.
If we had encountered them, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"That's true," Shi Xuerong nodded.
"Since that's the case, let's focus on cultivation.
But to reach the Intermediate Nascent Soul stage, I'm afraid it will take decades, or even a hundred years.
My talent can't compare to yours, Zijin."
After listening, Cen Zijin smiled and comforted her:
"Sister Rong, your cultivation talent is already one in a million. Cultivation is all about fortuitous encounters.
The spiritual energy in this space is extremely pure, and it gives me a feeling, similar to what I experienced in the Ten Thousand Dharma Tree Forbidden Ground.
Moreover, there are many spiritual herbs and fruits here that are suitable for our cultivation, and this is also a kind of fortuitous encounter.
With the help of these spiritual herbs and fruits, perhaps the time needed will be much shorter than you expect."
"Hmm! I hope so!"
Shi Xuerong nodded and then smiled:
"It's also possible that before I reach the Intermediate Nascent Soul stage, you'll already be at the Late-stage Nascent Soul stage.
Then, with the help of your treasure, we can easily leave."
"Good, then let's see who gets there first!" Cen Zijin laughed lightly.
The two women each found a spiritual herb, consumed it, and began to cultivate.
The small space returned to tranquility.
