Chapter 657: Heaven's Derivative Primal Source

Chapter 657: Heaven's Derivative Primal Source

Chu Ning's hunch was correct; the "Primal Source" before him was indeed the origin of this realm's Primal Power.

However, this realm's "Primal Source" had not yet evolved to merge with the universe's grand path, like the Immortal Seeds.

Thus, it couldn't directly communicate with Chu Ning as the Immortal Seeds did.

But through his cultivation of the fifth layer of Chaos Immortal Art, constantly absorbing Primal Power, he also received information transmitted by the "Primal Source."

When this realm was born, the "Primal Source" already existed, but at that time, it was very weak, possessing only Vitality Power.

And there was no concept of cultivation in this realm; people practiced martial arts to strengthen their bodies and improve their health.

It was somewhat similar to the humans on Spiritless Island.

Then, as the Immortal Seeds said, Spirit Energy entered this realm.

At that time, the Primal Power and Spirit Energy were intertwined.

As the number of cultivators in this realm grew, the "Primal Source," as the power symbiotic with this realm, also continued to grow stronger.

Under normal circumstances, after the Ninth Derivation Elder discovered the existence of Primal Power, more cultivators would have become aware of it.

At that time, with numerous cultivators cultivating by merging Spirit Energy and Primal Power, the "Primal Source" would have further strengthened.

However, at this moment, to avoid the intrusion of the Immortal Demonic Realm's Archmages, the Immortal Seeds opened the Primordial Energy channel.

The Primordial Energy from the upper realm, no longer blocked by Planar Force, entered this realm, completely suppressing the "Primal Source."

The "Primal Source" then hid beneath the Endless Sea.

The scattered Primal Power in this realm gathered and condensed within the various regions of the Endless Sea.

However, slightly different from what the Immortal Seeds said, over tens of thousands of years, the "Primal Source" wasn't entirely suppressed.

Although the cultivators in this realm didn't cultivate by merging Spirit Energy and Primal Power, the significant increase in their numbers caused the "Primal Source," as the power of this realm, to grow stronger as well.

At the same time, the "Primal Source," which originally provided Vitality Power to this realm, gave birth to another power, Annihilation Power, due to the suppression.

After that, even when the Primordial Energy channel was closed,

because no cultivators cultivated Primal Power, and Primordial Energy still existed in this realm, the "Primal Source" continued to repel the upper realm's Primordial Energy.

Therefore, the "Primal Source" didn't actively reveal itself to the world.

Until Chu Ning unintentionally intruded upon this island, cultivated Primal Power, and reintroduced this Primal Power to the world.

After sorting out everything, Chu Ning finally understood why Primal Power had the effect of strengthening the physical body.

The reason was that the Primal Power was inherently born to nurture the life of this realm, and the Vitality Power within it was exceptionally vigorous.

It was only due to the birth of Annihilation Power that the life essence within it was no longer apparent, and thus, it wasn't discovered by some cultivators who obtained the Primal Stone.

"Primal Source brother, rest assured. I've also guessed the locations of a few places with Primordial Energy in this realm.

I believe the True Demon Qi in Demon Valley is the same.

One day, I will deal with all these fellows.

As the Primal Source of this realm, you will eventually see the light of day again.

The world will know that in the Heaven Derivative Realm, only by cultivating and merging with this Primal Power can one achieve the Supreme Path!"

Chu Ning murmured as he gazed at the massive Primal Droplet ahead.

Chu Ning realized that if he could truly take this step, it wouldn't only enable his Soul Transformation and ascension.

But it would also genuinely benefit all cultivators in this realm.

Perhaps sensing Chu Ning's words, the enormous Primal Droplet gently swayed.

The next moment, a droplet, the same size as the one Chu Ning had refined before, flew out and drifted to his front.

Chu Ning reached out and lightly touched it, and this droplet immediately penetrated his body and disappeared.

Immediately, a unique aura reached Chu Ning's mind.

"This is..."

Chu Ning looked at the massive Primal Droplet with a hint of surprise.

Because at this moment, within this Primal Droplet, he not only sensed the existence of Primal Power.

He even felt a trace of Spirit Energy, no, more precisely, it wasn't genuine Spirit Energy.

It was the insight gained from merging with Spirit Energy!

"Could this be the insight into the 'Primal Source' that cultivators like the Ninth Derivation Elder gained by merging with Spirit Energy?"

Chu Ning pondered.

The Ninth Derivation Elder was the first to discover the existence of Primal Power and attempted to cultivate by merging with it to breakthrough from the Nascent Soul to the Divine Transformation Stage.

However, Chu Ning guessed that he wasn't the only one.

Especially when the Ninth Derivation Elder traveled the world and interacted with numerous cultivators, he would have undoubtedly mentioned Primal Power.

And at that time, since this realm's Primal Power wasn't as abundant as it is now, there should have been other cultivators who gained insights and cultivated it.

Only later did the Primordial Energy undergo a significant transformation, and all attempts were halted.

However, the insights and experiences of these people have evidently been integrated into the 'Primal Source'.

"This is truly a great gift! Thank you, Brother Primal Source!"

Chu Ning bowed to the 'Primal Source'.

Immediately, he turned around and returned to the Endless Sea, retracing his path back to Spiritless Island.

Along the way, Chu Ning once again sensed the presence of the Primal Power in the Endless Sea.

Previously, he would never have imagined that beneath the vast expanse of the Endless Sea, there existed such an abundance of Primal Power.

"If all this Primal Power were released, the quantity might not be much less than that of Spirit Energy.

And if cultivators could cultivate it, the Primal Source would continue to grow, and the Primal Power would become an endless supply."

But truly enabling all cultivators to cultivate Primal Power is no easy task..."

Chu Ning contemplated this issue all the way back to Spiritless Island.

Of course, he didn't forget to collect some Primordial Stones.

The Primal Power beneath Spiritless Island was highly concentrated and dense, resulting in a large number of Primordial Stones.

It even formed a Primordial Stone mine similar to a Spirit Vein.

Chu Ning returned, and although he didn't carry away the entire Primordial Stone mine, the amount of Primordial Stones he collected was astonishing.

When he reappeared on Spiritless Island, Cen Zijin, Cangxuan Spirit Turtle, and others surrounded him.

Cen Zijin noticeably breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Cangxuan Spirit Turtle spoke up, asking, "Chu, have you made any discoveries during your absence in the past month?"

Chu Ning was slightly startled and turned to look at Cen Zijin.

"I've been gone for a whole month?"

Cen Zijin nodded slightly, and Chu Ning realized why she had breathed a sigh of relief earlier.

Apparently, his month-long absence had caused Cen Zijin some concern.

However, Chu Ning hadn't realized that his cultivation near the 'Primal Source' had caused more than a month to pass in a flash.

Thereupon, Chu Ning shared everything—his journey into the depths of the Endless Sea, the discovery of the 'Primal Source', and the information he obtained from it.

"So, the bottom of the Endless Sea is actually Primal Power?"

Cangxuan Spirit Turtle spoke up again, her tone filled with realization.

Chu Ning, seeing this, asked, "Turtle Companion, did you visit the bottom of the Endless Sea before?"

Cangxuan Spirit Turtle shook her head.

"I only went ten thousand miles deep and didn't truly reach the seabed.

At the time, I felt an overwhelming pressure far beyond what one would expect at the bottom of the Endless Sea. Moreover, I didn't find any life forms, so I didn't explore further.

I never imagined that all this was due to the presence of Primal Power."

"The Endless Sea's region is vast, and it might not be smaller than the combined size of several continents.

If the entire seabed is Primal Power, it will be sufficient even if all cultivators cultivate it.

As you said, the more people cultivate Primal Power, the stronger the Primal Source becomes.

If Primal Power resurfaces from the seabed, perhaps our cultivation will become easier.

We might even be able to cultivate Primal Power in places with Spirit Energy, which would further benefit our integrated cultivation."

Cangxuan Spirit Turtle's words resonated with everyone present, and they all felt a surge of excitement.

"Chu, what we need to do now is find a way to enable more people to cultivate Primal Power.

I believe only you can achieve this.

As long as you can truly integrate and cultivate Primal Power to the Soul Transformation Stage, all cultivators will choose this path."

Chu Ning nodded.

"So, next, I will enter closed-door meditation for a period to create a fifth layer of the Chaos Immortal Art that can truly integrate and cultivate the Primal Power.

But before that, based on the fifth layer of the Chaos Immortal Art and the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art I obtained initially, I will create a more fundamental method to cultivate Primal Power.

This will allow cultivators above Foundation Establishment in Longkong Palace and Jiuhua Sect to begin their cultivation.

Currently, cultivators can only rely on Primordial Stones, and it's not feasible to have more cultivators cultivate."

Cangxuan Spirit Turtle nodded and smiled at Chu Ning.

"Chu, before this, the cultivation world regarded Ninth Derivation Elder as the number one person in this world.

If you can truly achieve this blessing for countless generations, you will be the one truly worthy of being called the number one person in this world!"

Chu Ning smiled and shook his head.

"I'm not thinking about that. I just want to cultivate to the Soul Transformation Stage and give those around me the same opportunity. That's enough for me!"

"Chu, as the chosen one, there's no need for modesty!" Cangxuan Spirit Turtle chuckled.

"By gathering the faith of the masses and harnessing the luck of a realm, success might be more attainable."

Chu Ning heard this and smiled lightly, remaining silent thereafter.

In the following days, Chu Ning entered a period of seclusion.

First, he created a more accessible cultivation method based on his insights from the Chaos Immortal Art and the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art.

While the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art was excellent, breaking through the bottlenecks was still extremely challenging.

The Ninth Derivation Elder had access to countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and Chu Ning had obtained a similar abundance of resources by chance.

However, it was nearly impossible for ordinary cultivators to achieve great success in cultivation.

Chu Ning's fifth layer of the Chaos Immortal Art was also built upon a foundation of a special and powerful physical body and a profound understanding of the Primal Source Power.

Ordinary cultivators were not suitable for this cultivation method either.

But Chu Ning had cultivated the Primal Source Power for many years, especially near the "Primal Source" itself.

This allowed him to comprehend the true essence of the Primal Source Power.

The eighty-first circulation pathway of the fifth layer of the Chaos Immortal Art was constantly simplified and adjusted by Chu Ning.

Three years later, Chu Ning emerged from seclusion, holding a jade slip.

He called all the cultivators in the valley to gather.

Chu Ning passed on the Primal Source Power cultivation method he had created to everyone, and Cen Zijin and Xi Wenxia immediately started cultivating.

The Cangxuan Spirit Turtle, Ice Phoenix, Bai Ling, and other Heaven and Earth Spirit Beasts had different cultivation methods from ordinary cultivators.

Yet, they also studied Chu Ning's created cultivation method, hoping to gain some insights from it.

After several days, the group appeared before Chu Ning again, their eyes filled with delight.

"Husband, this cultivation method is not only more convenient than the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art, but it also absorbs and refines the Primal Source Power more effectively."

"Master, I have already introduced the Primal Source Power into my body!"

Cen Zijin and Xi Wenxia, without a doubt, had the most noticeable perception.

Cen Zijin had cultivated the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art for many years and could already refine the Primal Source Power.

At this moment, cultivating Chu Ning's created cultivation method, she found that her speed of refining the Primal Source Power had increased by more than a hundredfold.

The most noticeable improvement, however, was in Xi Wenxia.

She had only started cultivating the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, and she hadn't been very focused on her cultivation before.

It was only after Chu Ning brought her to Spiritless Island and explained the matter of merging with the Primal Source Power to her, the Ice Phoenix, and others that Xi Wenxia truly settled down and concentrated on cultivating the Primal Source Power.

But cultivating and comprehending the Primal Source Power was not an easy task.

So, she had not found the right approach, and the results were not very satisfactory.

Now, cultivating Chu Ning's created cultivation method, she had achieved some success in refining the Primal Source Power in a short time.

Chu Ning carefully examined the two's progress in refining the Primal Source Power and was very satisfied.

The Cangxuan Spirit Turtle, Ice Phoenix, and other Heaven and Earth Spirit Beasts also approached Chu Ning, telling him that his created cultivation method had given them profound insights.

Especially the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle, who had cultivated the Primal Source Power for many years and often exchanged insights with Chu Ning.

But it was only after obtaining Chu Ning's created cultivation method that they could better understand Chu Ning's true insights.

At this moment, they couldn't help but praise it.

"Chu Daoyou, this cultivation method is excellent, but I see that you haven't named it yet.

Shouldn't you give it a name?"

The Cangxuan Spirit Turtle laughed heartily.

Chu Ning thought for a moment and said, "This realm is called the Heaven Derivative Realm, and since the cultivation method mainly targets the cultivation of the Primal Source Power, let's call it the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art.

I hope that in the future, more cultivators will cultivate this Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art and create new cultivation methods based on their insights into merging with Spirit Energy."

Chu Ning himself cultivated the Chaos Immortal Art, and he would also merge it with this Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art.

If possible, he might also create cultivation methods with different attributes.

However, every sect and every Nascent Soul stage or above cultivator has their own cultivation method.

If one truly wants to take the path of merging, different sects and cultivators must create new cultivation methods based on their own cultivation methods.

As Chu Ning spoke, he reached into his Storage Pouch and took out several jade slips, recording his created cultivation method onto them.

At the same time, he inscribed the words 'Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art' at the top of the jade slips.

After some thought, he also added his name to it.

Whether it was the Longkong Pavilion or the Jiuhua Sect cultivators, upon seeing their names, they would surely cultivate diligently.

As for whether this Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art could truly become a foundation for future cultivation methods, it was not something Chu Ning needed to consider at this moment.
