Chapter 653: Vitality Power, Annihilation Power
Chapter 653: Vitality Power, Annihilation Power
Using his Divine Perception, he sensed the Life Spirit Seed within his body.
The next moment, Chu Ning began to circulate his Essence Power, attempting to refine the Life Spirit Seed.
Chu Ning didn't intend to completely refine the Life Spirit Seed at this moment.
However, the Immortal Seeds mentioned that the Primordial Power of all realms is composed of two forces: growth and destruction.
When Chu Ning initially cultivated, he carefully sensed but didn't perceive these two forces within the Primordial Power.
So, Chu Ning decided to try refining some of the Life Power from the Life Spirit Seed first.
After familiarizing himself with this power, he would then carefully sense it again.
As the Essence Power circulated, the powerful vitality above the Life Spirit Seed was stirred.
The next moment, Chu Ning felt a vibrant Life Power emerging from within his body.
The feeling he had experienced when he first obtained the Life Spirit Seed reappeared.
Under the cleansing of Life Power, Chu Ning felt his body becoming increasingly youthful.
Even though he had cultivated to the Demigod Realm, his body should have been free of any impurities.
But under the cleansing of this Life Power, Chu Ning still felt as if he was undergoing a metamorphic transformation.
After a day of this, Chu Ning stopped refining the Life Spirit Seed.
Instead, he began to sense the Primordial Power of this realm.
Chu Ning didn't choose to cultivate the Chaos Immortal Art or the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art; instead, he directly relied on his instincts to comprehend the Primordial Power.
Just as he had initially sensed the Five Elements Spirit Power and Thunder Attribute Spirit Power when creating the Chaos Immortal Art.
Just as he had sensed the Spatial Power within the Void Space.
At this moment, Chu Ning was sensing the Primordial Power, carefully experiencing this unique power of the realm.
However, the Primordial Power was not something that could be easily sensed.
Five years passed in a flash, and every month, Chu Ning refined the Life Spirit Seed once, allowing himself to undergo a baptism of Life Power.
Immediately after, he would sense the Primordial Power.
Until one day in the sixth year...
"This aura is the power of life!"
As usual, when Chu Ning sensed the Primordial Power, he suddenly felt a faint aura within it.
It was extremely similar to the Life Power he had experienced when refining the Life Spirit Seed.
Although this aura was very weak to Chu Ning's perception at this moment, he instinctively mobilized the Life Power within his body to draw this Primordial Power into himself.
Perhaps it was because Chu Ning had previously refined the Primordial Power through the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art.
At this moment, when Chu Ning used the Life Power from the Life Spirit Seed to stir it, the Primordial Power surprisingly entered his body with unusual ease.
Chu Ning allowed his body's instincts to guide the flow of Primordial Power within himself.
This seemingly complete abandonment was actually Chu Ning's comprehension of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art, which he had already refined to perfection.
The Primordial Power flowed along a specific path within his body, but at one moment, it abruptly stopped and dispersed, vanishing within Chu Ning's flesh.
Chu Ning wasn't discouraged; he once again drew the Primordial Power into his body.
Day after day, Chu Ning practiced, starting from guiding only the slightest Primordial Power into his body.
Gradually, he drew in more and more Primordial Power.
From initially having only one path for circulation, he gradually opened up the second, third, ninth...
Time seemed to stand still in the mountains, and in a flash, Chu Ning had cultivated for a full thirty years on Spiritless Island.
"Is Daoist Chu planning to leave?"
On this day, Chu Ning stepped out of the stone house and greeted the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle.
Hearing that Chu Ning intended to leave Spiritless Island for the Northern Cold Region, the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle was slightly surprised.
"It's just a brief departure. It could be as short as one or two years, or as long as three to five years, but I will return.
Next time I come back, I'll bring my partner to the island as well."
Upon hearing this, the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle finally understood.
He also curiously asked Chu Ning, "Has Daoist Chu gained significant insights into the Primordial Power after thirty years of cultivation?"
"I can only say that I've made some slight progress!" Chu Ning replied calmly.
"But I've also encountered my first bottleneck, and I've been stuck for three years.
So, I want to venture out into the world. Is Daoist Turtle planning to return to the Northern Cold Region to revisit old places?"
"As you wish, Daoist!" The Cangxuan Spirit Turtle said leisurely.
"The old turtle discarded his Essence Power thirty years ago, and in these thirty years, I've gradually grasped some methods to incorporate the Primordial Power into my body.
The journey of ten thousand miles has just begun, so there's no need to rush my departure."
"Very well, then I, Chu Ning, will take my leave!"
As he spoke, Chu Ning directly burrowed back into the stone house, and the next moment, a wave of spatial power fluctuation emanated.
Chu Ning had already left Spiritless Island.
Cangxuan Spirit Turtle sensed Chu Ning's departure and slowly turned its turtle head, which was resting on the ground, muttering softly.
"I wonder what insights Chu Daoist has gained this time.
Perhaps when he returns, we can have a profound exchange, and who knows, it might spark something.
The last time we had a deep conversation was probably ten years ago."
Although they were both cultivating in the valley, their interactions were actually quite rare.
In thirty years, they had only had two or three in-depth conversations.
However, each time they interacted, they both gained some inspiration.
Cangxuan Spirit Turtle could sense that Chu Ning's comprehension and perception of primordial power far surpassed its own.
However, as a heavenly spirit beast, it also had its unique insights, which promoted mutual growth.
Chu Ning emerged from the teleportation array, sensing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but he didn't feel the same relief as he had when he previously left Spiritless Island.
Instead, he experienced a momentary daze.
For nearly thirty years, except for the very beginning when he relied on pills and the Chaos Immortal Art to cultivate essence power, the rest of the time was spent on comprehending and cultivating primordial power.
The sudden perception of abundant spiritual energy gave him a sense of disorientation similar to when he first emerged from the void space.
However, he quickly recovered and vanished in a flash.
With his current cultivation, ordinary cultivators couldn't even detect his presence.
The cultivator guarding the teleportation array in Iceland Immortal City only sensed a momentary spatial fluctuation but didn't even catch a glimpse of a figure.
When Chu Ning appeared in the Longkong Pavilion, he attracted the delighted voice of Cen Zijin.
"Husband, why did you leave Spiritless Island?"
Chu Ning grabbed Cen Zijin's jade hand and glanced at Bai Ling and Xi Wenxia, who were standing nearby.
He noticed that Cen Zijin and Bai Ling had both broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul, and one had even reached the tenth stage.
While Xi Wenxia was still at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, her cultivation had also progressed significantly.
He nodded in satisfaction.
"I thought that you and Bai Ling would have both reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul, so I planned to take you to Spiritless Island to comprehend and cultivate primordial power.
It will lay the foundation for your future cultivation."
This was one of the reasons why Chu Ning had brought Cen Zijin to the Northern Cold region in the first place.
Chu Ning now basically accepted the words of the Immortal Seed about merging primordial power to cultivate essence energy for ascension.
In that case, whether it was Cen Zijin or Bai Ling, they would both have to follow this path in the future.
They wouldn't need to stay in Spiritless Island for as long as he did.
However, Chu Ning believed that spending time there every few days would greatly benefit their true cultivation.
"Master, can I go too?"
Xi Wenxia, standing nearby, immediately asked.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning directly asked, "How is your progress in the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art?"
"Master, I can already refine the primordial power from the Primordial Stone," Xi Wenxia hurriedly replied.
Chu Ning nodded and said, "In that case, you can come along too. It's good to start cultivating early.
If you can break through and find your own path ahead of time, it will be a good thing."
After saying this, Chu Ning turned to the three of them and said, "Don't be in a hurry. I still need to make a trip to Snow Mist Valley. It won't be too late to go to Spiritless Island after that."
Chu Ning stayed in the Longkong Pavilion for three days, and of course, he and Cen Zijin had another session of dual cultivation, but let's not get into that.
On the fourth day, early in the morning, Chu Ning left the Longkong Pavilion and headed straight for Snow Mist Valley.
"I've encountered a bottleneck in absorbing primordial power. I was originally planning to go to Spiritless Island to find the source of primordial power.
But my intuition tells me that with my current understanding of primordial power, it might not be the right time yet.
However, I need a place where primordial power is more active, to feel the impact of primordial power."
When this thought flashed through Chu Ning's mind, he remembered the primordial power vortex he had seen in Snow Mist Valley and Green Mountain Spring Bottom.
At that time, Chu Ning had obtained two droplets of primordial power in those two places.
He vividly remembered that although the concentration of primordial power in those places might not have been stronger than in the valley of Spiritless Island, the suppression of primordial power was much greater than in the valley.
This might have a great deal to do with the primordial power vortex.
Chu Ning, who was familiar with Snow Mist Valley, found the cave that contained primordial power.
As he entered the cave, he felt a massive force of primordial power pressing down on his body.
With the progress he had made in cultivating Essence Power and Primordial Power, this heavy pressure naturally had no effect on his actions.
However, Chu Ning could also fully sense the vitality of the Primordial Power within the cave.
His gaze fell upon the vortex in front of him, and after more than a hundred years of absence, a Primordial Droplet had once again condensed above the vortex.
At this moment, Chu Ning approached the Primordial Vortex but did not immediately reach for the Primordial Droplet.
Instead, he directly extended his hand to touch the vortex.
The next moment, a powerful pulling force came from within the vortex.
Chu Ning felt as if his entire body was about to be sucked directly into the vortex.
His physical body had already reached an incredibly astonishing level of strength, and even without circulating his Essence Power, with just a slight sway of his body, he was able to stabilize himself.
The next moment, Chu Ning began to sense and absorb the Primordial Power from within the vortex.
Unlike his previous cultivation of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art, which required corresponding movements, at this moment, upon coming into contact with the Primordial Power, the Life Seed within Chu Ning's body gently trembled.
Immediately, Chu Ning's body instinctively generated a suction force.
The Primordial Power from the vortex was instantly drawn into his body and began to circulate along a specific path.
After circulating through multiple paths, some of the Primordial Power merged with the Essence Power within Chu Ning's body.
Some of it settled within his body.
Chu Ning began to continuously guide the Primordial Power within his body to accelerate, and more and more Primordial Power was sucked into his body.
Soon, all the paths of Primordial Power circulation he had previously comprehended were filled with Primordial Power.
At this point, Chu Ning's body should have reached its limit in absorbing Primordial Power.
However, the Primordial Power within the vortex was exceptionally active, as if it had found an outlet, and began to rush into Chu Ning's body!
At the same time, the pulling force within the vortex also intensified.
"This is the state I want!"
Chu Ning was not alarmed by the powerful pulling force within the vortex.
Instead, a hint of joy flashed through his mind.
On Spiritless Island, after comprehending nine paths of Primordial Power circulation, he had actually thought of a tenth path and even more paths beyond that.
However, although the Primordial Power on the island was abundant, it was not very active.
He couldn't absorb more Primordial Power into his body.
But at this moment, these Primordial Powers automatically entered his body, instantly relieving Chu Ning.
He began to try to guide these Primordial Powers to circulate along the tenth path he had envisioned.
The next moment, Chu Ning felt the pulling force that originally acted on the surface of his body instantly affecting every part of his body.
This powerful pulling force was so strong that even Chu Ning's formidable physical body almost felt like it would be torn apart in an instant.
At the same time, the other Primordial Powers circulating within Chu Ning's body also began to become chaotic.
It even caused his Essence Power to start to fluctuate violently, as if it might backlash at any moment.
Chu Ning was secretly startled and immediately drove his Essence Power to forcefully suppress this pulling force.
At the same time, his body quickly flew backward.
Stabilizing his body, Chu Ning felt the chaotic state within himself and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"I can clearly sense that my body's absorption and refinement of Primordial Power hasn't reached its limit.
Even if there's a problem with that path of circulation, it shouldn't have such destructive power.
Could it be that it's solely because the Primordial Power here is too active?
That doesn't seem right..."
Chu Ning frowned in thought, and at the same time, a powerful Life Power spontaneously overflowed from the Life Seed.
Under the nourishment of this powerful Life Power, the injuries within his body were almost instantly healed.
Sensing everything within his body, a flash of insight appeared in Chu Ning's mind.
"Something's wrong. When I was absorbing and refining these Primordial Powers just now, I didn't feel any trace of Life Power.
The Primordial Power here doesn't contain Life Power, and its destructive power is so strong.
Just because it can't circulate along the intended path doesn't mean it can cause such great damage to my body.
Could this powerful force be... Annihilation Power?"
Chu Ning had a vague guess in his mind.
At this moment, his gaze fell upon the Primordial Droplet.
The next moment, Chu Ning reached out with both hands again.
This time, one hand reached for the Primordial Droplet, while the other hand directly entered the vortex.
