Chapter 651: The Void Spirit Treasure
Chapter 651: The Void Spirit Treasure
At this moment, Chu Ning did not rush to refine the Life Spirit Seed and instead re-entered the Demon Mountain to locate the spatial boundary point, entering the pocket dimension once more.
As he approached the spatial boundary point connecting to the void space, Chu Ning casually reached into his storage pouch and took out a pile of materials.
Every material was rare and precious, and many of them emanated subtle spatial power fluctuations.
The next moment, a small cauldron appeared in Chu Ning's hand.
There was no earth fire here, but for Chu Ning, this was not a problem.
With a wave of his hand, the earth vein essence flame was directly placed beneath the small cauldron.
Then, one by one, the precious materials were thrown into the cauldron by Chu Ning.
As the materials fused together, Chu Ning promptly separated them into two portions, forming two key-shaped objects.
Before the two keys could fully take shape,
Chu Ning began chanting incantations while continuously forming hand seals.
The spatial power from the void space entered the pocket dimension through the spatial boundary point, then condensed around Chu Ning.
Along with the pure spiritual energy in this place, it gathered into layers of runes in front of Chu Ning.
The runes, stacked upon each other, were not only profoundly mysterious but also grew increasingly massive.
After some time, they had covered nearly a hundred zhang in front of Chu Ning.
Yet, Chu Ning continued to form hand seals, concentrating various runes.
Not far away, Bai Ling curiously observed this scene, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Even though she already knew that Chu Ning possessed remarkable abilities, the sheer size of these runes still left her in awe.
"The spatial power and spiritual energy of each rune are incredibly astonishing.
Setting aside whether ordinary cultivators could gather such profound runes, even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would likely find it challenging to gather runes spanning ten zhang. Their magical energy consumption would reach an astonishing level.
But the master can gather so many; it seems that after entering the Demigod Realm, his magical energy will be so thick that no one in this realm can match him!"
As Bai Ling pondered, the range of runes in front of Chu Ning continued to expand.
After a while, the runes had expanded to cover two hundred zhang.
Each rune shone in harmony with the others, suspended in the air, without any signs of dispersion.
The entire sky was filled with runes, each imbued with pure spiritual energy and spatial power.
At this moment, Chu Ning still didn't stop.
He continued to gather more runes, adding them to the grand formation in the sky.
It wasn't until these runes covered an area of nearly three hundred zhang in the sky that Chu Ning ceased creating new ones.
He lifted his head to gaze at the runes in the sky while his divine sense covered every corner of the pocket dimension.
The next moment, the runes in the sky slowly spread out.
Guided by Chu Ning's divine sense, they drifted to various regions of the space.
These runes arranged themselves in an extremely mysterious pattern, scattered across the sky and ground.
At first glance, they appeared chaotic.
However, an invisible connection of spatial power linked each set of runes.
The spatial power within the entire pocket dimension was completely activated by these runes.
Chu Ning's divine sense carefully sensed the runes once more, confirming their complete coverage.
Only then did he begin to continuously form hand seals, gathering new runes.
Nearly a hundred zhang of runes filled the entire sky.
With each new rune, a connection was made with the previously scattered runes.
Although Bai Ling wasn't using her divine sense to perceive at this moment, she was highly sensitive to spatial power.
She could feel that the entire pocket dimension seemed to be enveloped by a vast web of spatial power.
The origin of this web was the hundred zhang runes in the sky.
At this point, Bai Ling saw Chu Ning's hand seals change once more.
He formed hand seals and pointed at the cauldron.
The next moment, the runes in the sky began to descend.
As they descended, the runes gradually condensed, becoming smaller.
When they hung above the small cauldron, they were only ten zhang in size.
Immediately, these runes directly penetrated the cauldron, landing on the two keys that Chu Ning had previously crafted.
As the runes merged, the two keys, which had taken shape but were not yet solidified, quickly solidified.
In just a short while, they transformed into two black and translucent jade keys.
The jade keys were covered in profoundly mysterious runes, appearing incredibly divine at first glance.
Only then did Chu Ning reach out and grasp the keys within the cauldron.
Bai Ling, seeing that Chu Ning had finished refining, approached him.
"Master, is this the Ethereal Key? It seems a bit different from the Ethereal Key you obtained before."
"Bai Ling looked at the two black jade keys in Chu Ning's hands with curiosity.
She had seen the Ethereal Key that Chu Ning obtained before, and now she could tell that the one he had crafted was much more profound than the previous one.
'It's indeed different,' Chu Ning smiled.
'I made some improvements to the previous Ethereal Key. The old one had significant limitations and required the simultaneous activation of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator or two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Now, although I've crafted two keys, only one mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is needed to activate them.'
'Master, are you planning to give one to the Jiuhua Sect and one to the Longkong Pavilion?' Bai Ling asked curiously. 'If two different cultivators hold them and open the spatial passage in different places, will they still be able to enter simultaneously?'
Chu Ning nodded slightly.
'For the Jiuhua Sect, it will naturally go to Zijin or Yu Shixiong. As for the Longkong Pavilion, I haven't decided yet. Xi Wenxia only successfully formed her Nascent Soul three years ago, and she still has some way to go before reaching the mid-stage Nascent Soul.'
After speaking, Chu Ning put one of the Ethereal Keys back into his storage pouch and smiled, 'There's no rush. With some more time, Xi Wenxia should also be able to advance from the early-stage Nascent Soul to the mid-stage.'
Over a hundred and eighty years ago, when Chu Ning met Xi Wenxia again, she had just formed her Golden Core.
With Chu Ning's full support, the Longkong Pavilion's resources were entirely open to Xi Wenxia.
Additionally, Xi Wenxia had good aptitude and an exceptional talent for metal-attributed cultivation techniques.
Practicing the Longkong Pavilion's top-tier cultivation technique, she was able to advance from the early-stage Golden Core to the early-stage Nascent Soul in just over a hundred and eighty years.
This speed was not much slower than that of Cen Zijin.
Of course, Cen Zijin's cultivation speed was also not slow.
A hundred and twenty years ago, Cen Zijin entered the mid-stage Nascent Soul.
Now, she has reached the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and it won't take long for her to advance to the late-stage Nascent Soul.
Bai Ling's cultivation progress is not far behind Cen Zijin's.
Xi Wenxia is younger and started later, so she has only reached the early-stage Nascent Soul.
Chu Ning had always suspected that Xi Wenxia might be one of the recipients of the Immortal Seeds.
After all, Xi Wenxia's ability to use Geng Metal Qi was something Chu Ning had never seen in other cultivators.
At this moment, Chu Ning held one of the Ethereal Keys that he hadn't put away and continued to explain to Bai Ling, 'The treasure I've crafted is also very different from the previous Ethereal Key.
The previous Ethereal Key from the Xuanling Sect only connected to that small pocket dimension.
But the treasure I've crafted can directly absorb this small pocket dimension.
It truly achieves the concept of containing the universe in a grain.
If I hadn't comprehended the spatial power within the Void Space, it would have been impossible.
First, enter the Spirit Beast Sack...'
As Chu Ning spoke, he tossed the jade key into the air.
Then, he cast several hand seals towards the key in the air.
Instantly, the spatial power within the entire small pocket dimension began to fluctuate violently.
Seeing this, Bai Ling immediately flew into Chu Ning's Spirit Beast Sack.
The next moment, Chu Ning also flew out of the spatial boundary point and appeared in the Demon Mountain.
At the same time, Chu Ning raised his hand and grabbed the air.
A black jade key appeared out of thin air from the location of the spatial boundary point.
Sensing the change in her surroundings, Bai Ling emerged from the Spirit Beast Sack again.
Looking at the jade key in Chu Ning's hand, she asked curiously, 'Master, did you put that small pocket dimension into this jade key?'
Chu Ning nodded.
'It's still unsafe to keep this small pocket dimension near Demon Mountain. If something happens in the future, this small pocket dimension will inevitably be affected.
It's better to find another place for it.'
After saying this, Chu Ning left Demon Mountain with Bai Ling.
The reason Chu Ning was able to craft spatial treasures long ago but only did so today was that he not only wanted to craft the Ethereal Key, which could open small pocket dimensions, but he also wanted to move this small pocket dimension.
Next, Chu Ning wandered around the Western Alliance Continent.
After spending more than a month, he finally found a place with abundant spirit energy and no major powers.
Chu Ning used a spatial rift to directly place the small pocket dimension into the Void Space.
'Even if this world undergoes a major change, no one should pay attention to a place like this.
It's unlikely that cultivators from the Immortal Demonic Realm would come here to enter the Void Space.' Chu Ning thought to himself as he flew out of the Void Space.
Of course, there was another important reason for choosing this place: there was a hidden spirit vein beneath it.
If Chu Ning hadn't carefully investigated, he truly wouldn't have discovered it.
Although the small pocket dimension was placed within the Void Space, there was still a spatial boundary point connected to the outside world.
This Spirit Energy could also nurture the small pocket dimension, at least maintaining the pure Spirit Energy within.
Holding two black jade keys in his hand, Chu Ning's face carried a faint smile.
"After my improvements, this treasure can't be completely called an Ethereal Key; let's call it a Void Spirit Key."
After all, much of the inspiration for crafting this treasure came from the Void Space."
Upon returning to the Jiuhua Sect, Cen Zijin saw Chu Ning's safe return and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Ning also gave one of the Void Spirit Keys to Cen Zijin and Yu Changge, and told them both how to activate it.
Cen Zijin and Yu Changge, each holding a True Spirit Key, couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.
Both had cultivated for many years and had extraordinary experiences.
But even so, this was the first time they had seen such a treasure.
"Zijin, Senior Brother Yu, why don't you try activating it directly?"
"You can directly enter the small pocket dimension by holding the Void Spirit Key here.
If you want to come out, one method is to use the Void Spirit Key to open a passage from the spatial boundary point.
You will appear outside the spatial boundary point of the small pocket dimension.
Another method is for a cultivator to hold the Void Spirit Key in the outside world and open a spatial passage, allowing them to reach the location of the Void Spirit Key."
After Chu Ning finished explaining the method, he added:
"For safety, I've set a seal on this Void Spirit Key.
If someone holds the Void Spirit Key inside the small pocket dimension, even if someone outside holds the Void Spirit Key and activates a spatial passage, the passage will be one-way, allowing exit but not entry.
Unless the cultivator inside confirms it's safe and brings the Void Spirit Key out of the small pocket dimension.
This is also to prevent one of the keys from falling into enemy hands."
After listening, Yu Changge couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
"The Supreme Elder's plan is indeed thorough!"
Yu Changge also knew that Chu Ning had entered the Demigod Realm, and his distance from that realm was still considerable.
He was even some time away from the late-stage Essence Incarnation.
So, even though he knew Chu Ning wouldn't mind, he still felt awkward calling Chu Ning 'Junior Brother'.
Cen Zijin, who had entered the small pocket dimension, spoke first:
"I'll try it first!"
As she spoke, Cen Zijin directly infused her magical energy into the Void Spirit Key.
The next moment, a passage connected to the Void Space appeared directly in front of the three of them.
Without hesitation, Cen Zijin handed the Void Spirit Key to Chu Ning and then stepped into the passage, disappearing from sight.
Without the magical energy of the Void Spirit Key to maintain it, the passage soon disappeared.
At this moment, Yu Changge also took up the Void Spirit Key and activated the spatial passage again, entering the same small pocket dimension.
After the passage disappeared, about half an incense stick's time passed before Chu Ning activated the spatial passage again.
At this time, Cen Zijin and Yu Changge emerged from it.
"I never imagined that there would be such a wondrous treasure in the world!"
At this moment, Yu Changge, holding the Void Spirit Key, couldn't help but marvel.
They had just exited through the spatial boundary point using the Void Spirit Key.
In the blink of an eye, they could appear tens of thousands of miles away, which they found astonishing.
After expressing their amazement, Yu Changge held the Void Spirit Key and then looked up at Chu Ning:
"Supreme Elder, now that you've crafted this treasure, are you preparing to leave?"
Chu Ning nodded and said, "I plan to take Zijin to the Northern Cold and Spiritless Island to comprehend the next stage of cultivation.
I'll leave the sect's affairs to the Sect Master.
Most of my time will be spent on Spiritless Island, and Zijin will return to Longkong Pavilion after a period of comprehension there.
If there's any situation, you can send a message to Zijin at the Northern Cold Longkong Pavilion.
If it's an emergency, the Sect Master can also lead the fellow sect members into the small pocket dimension for refuge.
We will search for you when we return."
Yu Changge knew what Chu Ning was about to do, something no cultivator in this realm had ever accomplished.
At this time, there were no words of persuasion, only a few words of sincere gratitude:
"Thank you, Supreme Elder, for your concern. I will manage the sect well.
I also wish you an early breakthrough in your divine abilities, ascending to the Divine Transformation Stage, and cultivating the Supreme Path!"
"There will be such a day, and I believe that not only me but all cultivators in this realm will have the opportunity to embark on this path!"
Chu Ning's words carried a hint of determination.
Then, without disturbing the others further, he and Cen Zijin gracefully departed together.
