Chapter 656: Primordial Power
Chapter 656: Primordial Power
"Initially, several of us Demigod Realm cultivators rushed to the scene as soon as we sensed the spatial fluctuations caused by the Immortal Seeds. If any cultivators had prior contact, it could only have been those Nascent Soul cultivators who entered first."
Venerable Hai Xuan then proceeded to narrate the events that took place at the Nine Evolution Spirit Mountain.
After finishing his account, his face turned peculiar as he said, "The cultivators from the Sky Curtain Continent were all familiar figures from various sects. Afterward, there were no unusual occurrences within those sects. This leaves only three suspects: the Sky Demon Clan's possessed cultivator, Chu Ning, and the disciple of Spirit Moon Fairy from Purple Frost Island."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man slowly spoke, "It doesn't matter which of the three it is; what's important is that the Sky Demon Clan seems to have obtained some information about the Immortal Seeds. I've received word that they are showing signs of activity, possibly planning another descent to your world."
Venerable Hai Xuan's expression changed upon hearing this.
"According to the information left by the elders in the palace, it seems that cultivators from the Immortal Demonic Realm can no longer enter our world. How can the Sky Demon Clan still descend here?"
"Normally, it's not possible, even for cultivators of our level. We can't break the rules of the Supreme Path to forcefully descend. However, with some sacrifices, arranging for a clone to descend isn't a problem. The Sky Demon Clan left behind a Demigod-level demon in your world back then. As long as one of their clones descends and merges with it, displaying the power of a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator won't be difficult."
Hearing this, Venerable Hai Xuan's expression changed again.
Divine Transformation cultivators also vary in strength.
Just like us Demigod Realm cultivators, when we say our cultivation is comparable to Divine Transformation cultivators, it means we can't ascend, and we're only compared to early-stage Divine Transformation cultivators.
There's a noticeable gap when compared to late-stage Divine Transformation cultivators.
If a clone of that Beyond World Demon descends and merges with the one left here before, allowing it to display power comparable to a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator, it would be an overwhelming existence for all cultivators in this world.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Venerable Hai Xuan's gaze turned to the middle-aged man, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
He naturally understood that since this upper-world powerhouse had already sensed the Sky Demon Clan's movements and chosen to appear here, he wouldn't be indifferent.
At this moment, the middle-aged cultivator looked at Venerable Hai Xuan with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Do you want to experience the true power of a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator?"
Venerable Hai Xuan had a vague guess and immediately replied respectfully, "As you command!"
"Good!" The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction.
"It might take one or two hundred years, or even five or six hundred years, but when the Sky Demon Clan sends a clone down, I'll also descend with my clone and attach it to your body. This will allow you to truly experience the abilities of a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator."
Venerable Hai Xuan's face lit up with anticipation after hearing this.
The middle-aged cultivator continued, "However, with your current physical cultivation, my clone can't descend and attach to your body. I'll teach you a cultivation method. Practice diligently in the coming years, and you must master this method within a century."
"Rest assured, senior, I'll do my best!" Venerable Hai Xuan said with determination.
...
On Spiritless Island, Chu Ning felt the speed of his absorption of Primordial Power and was very satisfied.
Previously, he had felt that his absorption of this Primordial Power on Spiritless Island had reached a bottleneck, so he went to Snow Mist Valley.
After comprehending the fifth layer of the Chaos Immortal Art, he now found that even absorbing the relatively less active Primordial Power here was effortless.
"My comprehension and understanding of Primordial Power can be considered fundamentally complete, but absorbing Primordial Power isn't my ultimate goal. My true purpose is to refine and absorb the Primordial Power and merge it with Spirit Energy."
Chu Ning no longer rushed to absorb Primordial Power.
Instead, he casually took out a leaf from the Ice Crystal Tree and prepared to start cultivating.
The next moment, Chu Ning stopped again.
His gaze fell to the ground.
When he returned to Spiritless Island, Chu Ning had circled the entire island.
At that time, he had a feeling that the source of Primordial Power on Spiritless Island seemed to come from beneath the island.
So, Chu Ning had the idea of investigating the island's depths.
However, he felt that his comprehension and understanding of Primordial Power weren't sufficient, so he didn't take action.
Now that he has reached a certain level of comprehension and understanding...
Without hesitation, Chu Ning left the stone house.
After sharing his own speculations with the others in the valley, Chu Ning sensed that the Primordial Power in the valley was extremely rich. He immediately employed the Earth Escape Technique and drilled into the ground.
The other cultivators and spirit beasts in the valley, although not weak in terms of external strength, were still in the exploratory stage when it came to understanding the Primordial Power. Therefore, even the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle did not propose to follow Chu Ning.
However, as they gazed at the spot where Chu Ning disappeared, they all had a hint of curiosity. It was clear that they were also interested in the source of the Primordial Power.
As Chu Ning drilled into the ground, he didn't feel much at first, but after exceeding a thousand miles, he distinctly felt the Primordial Power becoming more active. By the time he reached a distance of ten thousand miles, the Primordial Power was almost on par with that in the Snow Mist Valley. However, it was different from the Primordial Power in the Snow Mist Valley, which was more like a tearing force.
Chu Ning carefully sensed the subtle changes in the Primordial Power and continued to move towards the location with the strongest Primordial Power. He delved another ten thousand miles, and suddenly, he felt himself drop into the water.
The protective barrier of the Chaos Immortal Art shielded him, and Chu Ning didn't rush to continue downward. With the help of the light from his treasure, he saw that he was in a vast ocean. As he swam around, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
The dark currents of the sea water surged, but there was no spiritual energy fluctuation, giving him a feeling similar to the Endless Sea. This wasn't surprising, as the Spiritless Island was also surrounded by the Endless Sea.
What truly surprised Chu Ning, however, was that apart from the area directly below the Spiritless Island, where the Primordial Power was exceptionally rich, the surrounding areas also had Primordial Power fluctuations. Moreover, the density of the Primordial Power was not inferior to that of the ordinary areas on the Spiritless Island, only slightly weaker than that in the valley.
"Could it be that the Endless Sea lacks spiritual energy because the sea floor has Primordial Power?" Chu Ning thought, his expression becoming increasingly complex.
If that were the case, the amount of Primordial Power would be even greater than that of spiritual energy, given the vast expanse of the Endless Sea.
At this moment, Chu Ning returned to the area directly below the Spiritless Island. Feeling the rich Primordial Power in the seawater, he began to dive deeper, operating the fifth layer of the Chaos Immortal Art to absorb the surrounding Primordial Power while resisting the pressure from the Primordial Power and the deep sea water.
Chu Ning was grateful that he hadn't come earlier, as the Primordial Power's pressure here was incredibly strong. If he had come earlier, even with the protection of his Essence Power, he might not have been able to withstand the pressure for long.
As the Chaos Immortal Art's fifth layer rotated, the Primordial Power was directly absorbed into Chu Ning's body. This allowed him to sense the Primordial Power's changes without feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of the deep sea water.
He continued to dive, exceeding another ten thousand miles. At this point, Chu Ning could feel the Primordial Power becoming even stronger, almost reaching the density of the Primordial Droplet.
This astonished him, as the Primordial Droplet's Primordial Power, although unclear in its composition, had been condensed over tens of thousands of years and was extremely pure. The Primordial Power here, however, had a purity that could rival that of the Primordial Droplet.
"What is that..." Chu Ning thought, his eyes fixed on something in front of him.
In the distance, a massive, hollow area appeared in the deep sea, with a radius of nearly a thousand meters. Not a single drop of seawater was present, as if a formless force had completely isolated the area.
Even from a distance, Chu Ning could clearly sense the power of the Primordial Power. Within this space, a droplet-shaped object, similar to the Primordial Droplet he had refined earlier, appeared. However, this droplet was hundreds of times larger.
"Could this be the source of the Primordial Power?"
Chu Ningguang stared intently at the enormous primordial droplet, gradually approaching the vacuum zone.
Before long, he could sense the edge of the vacuum zone.
At this moment, he could also feel the immense repulsive force emanating from within the vacuum zone.
This repulsive force completely isolated the seawater.
At the same time, Chu Ning felt a strange sense of familiarity with this power.
Chu Ning didn't sense any resistance from it; instead, he felt a desire to draw closer.
As this thought arose, Chu Ning was surprised by his own reaction.
At his cultivation level, emotional control was supposed to be second nature, neither feeling joy nor sorrow.
This sense of familiarity, arising from deep within, caught him off guard.
"Could it be related to my cultivation of primordial power?"
Chu Ning pondered this silently, hesitated, and then cautiously extended his hand into the vacuum zone.
Instantly, he felt enveloped by the pure primordial power.
Chu Ning clearly sensed that this primordial power was a fusion of life and destructive forces.
But to Chu Ning, it felt as comfortable as when he had refined the life force.
Chu Ning gradually extended his hand further, encountering no abnormalities.
He tried to probe with his divine sense, but even that faced no resistance.
His divine sense easily covered the entire area, allowing him to perceive the abundant primordial power within.
After multiple attempts, Chu Ning found no danger, so he stopped hesitating and stepped directly into the vacuum zone.
His entire body was enveloped by the primordial power, and Chu Ning once again experienced the sensation of refining the life seed within his body.
Chu Ning began cultivating the Chaos Immortal Art, and the pure primordial power instantly entered his body, circulating through his entire body.
After the primordial power had permeated his body, Chu Ning carefully examined himself but found no discomfort.
However, the sensation was entirely different from his previous cultivation on Spiritless Island.
After comprehending the fifth layer of the Chaos Immortal Art, Chu Ning's understanding of primordial power confirmed that it was indeed formed by the combination of life and destructive forces, just as the Immortal Seed had described.
But at this moment, Chu Ning could also clearly sense that the primordial power was composed of life force and destructive force.
Yet, the feeling it gave him was as if it were only life force.
Puzzled, Chu Ning continued to approach the primordial droplet.
He stopped only when he was ten zhang away, his intuition telling him that the droplet didn't want him to get any closer.
Chu Ning circled the droplet but found nothing unusual.
For a moment, he couldn't make sense of the situation, so he sat down in a meditative posture and began cultivating.
As the fifth layer of the Chaos Immortal Art circulated, primordial power continuously flowed into Chu Ning.
Initially, the primordial power from the vacuum zone gathered around Chu Ning.
Gradually, Chu Ning seemed to sense that the primordial power from the droplet was flowing into his body.
As he absorbed the primordial power from the droplet, Chu Ning realized that the droplet was slowly growing, almost imperceptibly.
The rate of growth was such that Chu Ning's senses couldn't detect it.
But at this moment, the droplet's feedback made Chu Ning realize its growth.
"This primordial droplet can convey its own sensations to me."
Chu Ning was astonished.
He continued cultivating the fifth layer of the Chaos Immortal Art, absorbing the primordial power from the droplet.
At the same time, his mind calmed, and he carefully sensed each surge of primordial power from the droplet.
He also paid attention to the information carried by each wave of power.
Chu Ning wasn't sure how long he had been cultivating when suddenly, he felt as if the flow of primordial power from the droplet had ceased.
He opened his eyes and looked at the droplet before him, his eyes filled with realization.
"So that's how it is!
This is the source of power in this realm!"
At that moment, Chu Ning realized that the droplet before him was the source of power in this realm.
He connected the various pieces of information he had gathered, forming a complete picture.
