Chapter 658: A Century
Chapter 658: A Century
Within the Jiuhua Sect, Yu Changge sat in his cave abode with a faint smile on his face, looking at Qin Changkong, Gu Yuexian, and the Yu brothers from Taihe Pavilion.
"Fellow Daoists, you've come together. May I ask what brings you here?"
Qin Changkong and the others exchanged glances, and it was Qin Changkong who spoke first:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you're only half a step away from the Late-stage Essence Incarnation. You can break through at any time, which is truly a cause for celebration.
Not only you, but many fellow Daoists in the Jiuhua Sect have been continuously improving their cultivation.
It's truly admirable."
Hearing Qin Changkong's words, Yu Changge remained silent, knowing that the other party had not yet come to the main point.
Qin Changkong continued, "Fellow Daoist Chu has not appeared for nearly a century. I wonder if he's still in the sect?"
Yu Changge shook his head.
"Supreme Elder left the sect long ago to travel the world and hasn't returned."
Qin Changkong nodded slightly and then spoke with a serious expression, "Fellow Daoist Yu, I've heard that your sect's senior cultivators have been cultivating a unique technique in recent years.
It's said that Huo Junrui of the True Martial Alliance once came to request it. Is this true?"
Finally, Qin Changkong had come to the main topic, and Yu Changge smiled, "Fellow Daoist Qin is well-informed. Indeed, it's not false."
As he spoke, Yu Changge took out several Zijin from his Storage Pouch and handed them to the group.
"What Fellow Daoist Qin mentioned should be the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art created by our Supreme Elder!
These Zijin contain the details."
Hearing Yu Changge's straightforward acknowledgment and even providing the technique for their inspection, Qin Changkong and the others showed a hint of confusion.
Yu Changge smiled and explained, "The Supreme Elder didn't intend to hide this technique from everyone after creating it.
However, the cultivation method is quite unique, and if we gave it to you directly, you might have doubts.
As for the specifics, you can carefully examine the Zijin."
After speaking, Yu Changge remained silent and calmly sipped his Spirit Tea.
Within the Zijin, Chu Ning had recorded not only the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art but also the intricacies of Primal Energy.
However, he temporarily concealed the matter of Immortal Seeds, attributing everything to the transformation of Primordial Energy.
Otherwise, if it were known that he had come into contact with Immortal Seeds, it might attract unnecessary trouble.
Qin Changkong and the others scanned the Zijin with their Divine Perception, thoroughly examining the contents.
Soon, their faces showed surprise.
While Qin Changkong was still holding a Zijin, Yu Zhifu from the Taihe Pavilion spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Yu, if we follow what Fellow Daoist Chu said,
Cultivating this Primal Energy not only strengthens the physical body but is also related to Divine Transformation Ascension?"
Yu Changge nodded slightly.
"The Supreme Elder, after gathering information from various sources, indeed reached this conclusion.
You just mentioned Huo Junrui coming to request the technique.
In fact, he didn't come to ask for the technique but to find the Supreme Elder.
The Supreme Elder anticipated this and asked me to give these Zijin to him."
Qin Changkong's eyes widened upon hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, could it be that Huo Junrui has already reached the Demigod Realm?"
"Indeed!" Yu Changge nodded.
"He came to seek the Supreme Elder's guidance on ascending to the Divine Transformation Stage."
Qin Changkong nodded and held the Zijin, his expression complex. "Actually, our sect's Senior Apprentice Sister Xuerong once went to Spiritless Island with Fellow Daoist Chu.
So, I have some understanding of Primal Energy, but I always believed that it was naturally incompatible with Spirit Energy, thinking that Primal Energy was only useful for strengthening the physical body.
I never imagined that Divine Transformation Ascension required the cultivation of this Primal Energy."
Qin Changkong turned to Yu Changge and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, this Primal Energy cultivation is not easy. According to Senior Apprentice Sister Xuerong, besides Spiritless Island, which has the power of Primal Energy,
there's also a type of Primal Stone that can be used for cultivation. Is this the method your sect's cultivators use?"
Yu Changge nodded and reached into his Storage Pouch again, taking out several small bags and handing them to Qin Changkong and the others.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, when the Supreme Elder returned the technique, he instructed that if any Daoist asked about it, we should freely give the technique to other sects.
Additionally, the Cloud Soaring Alliance's various sects can also receive some Primal Stones for cultivation.
However, even for the Supreme Elder, obtaining a large quantity of these stones is not easy, so we can't provide too many."
Yu Changge took the opportunity to speak while the others were receiving the Primordial Stones, "The Supreme Elder also mentioned that he had obtained some Primordial Stones from the Green Mountain Spring Bottom in the past. If any of you are interested, you can try your luck there."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Rest assured, fellow Daoists, I haven't mentioned this to Senior Brother Huo. The Supreme Elder doesn't want the Western Alliance Continent to be embroiled in another conflict over the Primordial Stones after it has calmed down."
At that moment, the other Nascent Soul Cultivators, holding their bags filled with numerous Primordial Stones, couldn't help but show some change in their expressions upon hearing Yu Changge's words.
Qin Changkong, at that moment, expressed his admiration, "Not only has Fellow Daoist Chu repeatedly saved our alliance's cultivators from dire situations, but he also holds nothing back. Such righteousness truly earns my respect."
As he spoke, he bowed to Yu Changge, "Fellow Daoist Yu, if you see Fellow Daoist Chu, please convey my gratitude. If Fellow Daoist Chu returns, please pass on a message, and I will personally visit to express my thanks."
After Qin Changkong's words, the other Nascent Soul Cultivators also expressed their gratitude.
Yu Changge, on the other hand, spoke politely.
He also shared Chu Ning's speculation with everyone: the more people who cultivate Primordial Power, the faster it will grow.
In the future, all cultivators will be able to benefit from this.
Everyone was aware that if someone were to benefit, Chu Ning would undoubtedly be the first to do so. However, no one had any complaints.
After all, Chu Ning's strength was evident, and he had selflessly shared the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art with everyone.
At this point, Yu Changge took the initiative to suggest that since he had been cultivating the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art for many years, it would be a good opportunity to exchange cultivation experiences with everyone.
The other Nascent Soul Cultivators knew that Yu Changge must have received more guidance from Chu Ning, and they all thanked him repeatedly.
Nearly ten days passed, and the numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators finally left with the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art and the Primordial Stones, filled with joy.
Yu Changge watched as the Nascent Soul Cultivators flew away, a smile spreading across his face.
"With more Nascent Soul Cultivators cultivating, the group practicing the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art is growing larger and larger.
This must be the situation that Junior Brother Chu wanted to see."
Chu Ning had previously told Yu Changge that there was no need to hide the information about the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art. If any sect wanted it, they could simply give it to them.
For the past few decades, only the Jiuhua Sect's cultivators had been practicing this art.
However, as the news wasn't intentionally hidden, other sects gradually became aware of it.
This time, when Yu Changge passed on the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art to Huo Junrui, he intentionally let the news spread.
This led to the arrival of numerous cultivators from the Cloud Soaring Alliance.
Yu Changge believed that these Nascent Soul Cultivators would definitely start cultivating the art after returning.
As for the future, the news would likely spread gradually.
"If the Supreme Elder's technique truly becomes the foundation of cultivation in the entire cultivation world, such prestige, not just now, but even over tens of thousands of years, no one would be able to match it."
Yu Changge murmured, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation.
His greatest wish in life was to revive the Jiuhua Sect, and now, not only had the sect been revived, but it might even become more prosperous than before in the future.
"I should also put my mind at ease and focus on cultivation. Huo Junrui has already entered the Demigod Realm.
Looking at Qin Changkong, it seems he might be close as well.
I must also strive to reach the late-stage Nascent Soul as soon as possible!"
Yu Changge muttered to himself and then returned to his cave abode, opening the seal of the meditation chamber.
...
Beneath the Spiritless Island in the Endless Sea.
Chu Ning sat within the Primordial Field, gazing at the "Primal Source" in front of him, and said with a light smile, "Brother Primal Source, in a hundred years, you seem to have grown stronger.
Especially in recent years, the growth seems even faster. It seems my Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art has been passed on to more cultivators.
Moreover, it must be the Nascent Soul Cultivators practicing it that have achieved such results.
Chu Ning spoke, but there was no response from the "Primal Source," which remained quietly standing within the Primordial Field.
However, Chu Ning could sense the joy of the "Primal Source" through the Primordial Power he had absorbed.
Chu Ning continued to cultivate in the Primordial Field for a while before leaving.
However, Chu Ning didn't return directly to the Spiritless Island.
Instead, he wandered the bottom of the Endless Sea for a month, collecting a large number of Primordial Stones, before finally returning to the Spiritless Island.
For a hundred years, Chu Ning had regularly provided some Primordial Stones to the Jiuhua Sect and the Longkong Pavilion.
After all, the only ones who have been living on Spiritless Island for a long time are him, the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle, and the Ice Phoenix.
The Ice Phoenix officially advanced to the Demigod Realm fifty years ago and has also spent a considerable amount of time cultivating on the island.
As for Zijin and Wenxia, they only come to the island to cultivate for short periods every now and then.
After all, their cultivation not only requires the guidance of Chu Ning and the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle, but also a large amount of Spirit Energy.
Therefore, the Primordial Stones beneath Spiritless Island have been almost completely collected by Chu Ning.
He then went to search for more in the Endless Sea outside.
In theory, Primordial Power exists beneath all parts of the Endless Sea, and Primordial Stones will form where it accumulates.
However, searching for them is like finding a needle in a haystack.
The Primordial Power near the "Primal Source" is purer and more concentrated, and with the accumulation of tens of thousands of years, it is much easier to find Primordial Stones.
In recent decades, Chu Ning has clearly felt the growth of the "Primal Source."
He can also sense that the Primordial Power in the Endless Sea is gradually rising.
"Now, only a portion of Nascent Soul Cultivators are cultivating, and in just a few decades, they have managed to strengthen the Primordial Power, causing it to rise by several tens of li.
If all the cultivators in this realm, or even just the Nascent Soul Cultivators, were to cultivate, it might be possible for the Primordial Power to reappear in the world.
It seems that I should make a trip to the Sky Curtain Continent!"
Standing on Spiritless Island, Chu Ning muttered to himself.
For a hundred years, Chu Ning has been cultivating both Spirit Energy and Primordial Power, comprehending the final layer of the Chaos Immortal Art to allow the Essence Power within his body to truly reach a state of perfection.
Then, he would advance to the Divine Transformation Stage and truly ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Chu Ning naturally anticipated the difficulties that lay ahead.
However, when he actually began his comprehension, the challenges were far greater than he had expected.
Even though Chu Ning's understanding of various powers far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he had even gained insights from the "Primal Source" that included those of the Nine Evolution Elder and other cultivators, he was still one step away from achieving the perfect state.
He had already spent nearly twenty years comprehending this final step.
He had used up all the Ten Thousand Dharmas Fragrance he had.
Yet, he still couldn't achieve it.
Chu Ning realized that this final step of comprehension couldn't be completed just by cultivating in seclusion.
He needed an opportunity to achieve the final enlightenment.
Since he couldn't find a breakthrough here, Chu Ning thought of strengthening the "Primal Source" even further.
When it comes to the sheer number of cultivators, the Sky Curtain Continent is undoubtedly the most populous.
So, after informing the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle and the Ice Phoenix, Chu Ning left Spiritless Island.
He first stayed in the Northern Cold Region for a short while before heading to the Sky Curtain Continent.
...
Sky Curtain Continent, near the Endless Sea, at the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect.
"Tao Liexuan, our Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect has been more than patient, do you really want to exterminate us all?"
"Xu Qingbai, blame only yourselves for your uselessness.
Since it's come to this, the various array legacies of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect will be taken by my Black Extremity Sect!"
"Heh, I'm quite interested in this Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array that can help cultivators advance through arrays."
Upon hearing these words, every cultivator in the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect was filled with righteous indignation.
At this moment, Xu Qingbai, wearing a green robe and with a head full of white hair, looked up at the grand array above with a face filled with grief and anger.
Although he had advanced to the early Nascent Soul Stage many years ago, the gap between him and a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was still too vast.
As for the sect's arrays, although they were exquisite, the opponent was a late-stage Nascent Soul grand cultivator with treasures in hand. If they were to attack the array with all their might, Xu Qingbai and the others would be unable to withstand it.
Just as Xu Qingbai was secretly worrying, a sudden burst of explosive sound rang out from the sky.
"Boom!"
A golden light suddenly shot out and landed on the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect's grand protective array.
"Not good!"
Seeing this scene, Xu Qingbai's face changed drastically. He turned to a female Golden Core cultivator and a middle-aged male Golden Core cultivator and said:
"Quick, take the sect's legacy and quickly enter the Ancient Sect's ancient teleportation array.
I'll buy you some time."
"Sect Master!" Hearing Xu Qingbai's words, the two cultivators' faces slightly changed.
If the protective array was broken, Xu Qingbai would have to fight to the death to stall the opponent.
"Now is not the time for hesitation. Do you really want to become traitors to the sect? Hurry!"
Xu Qingbai shouted loudly.
The female Golden Core cultivator and the middle-aged male Golden Core cultivator no longer hesitated and flashed towards the ancient teleportation array not far away.
But just at this moment, the ancient teleportation array suddenly trembled with Spatial Power.
Accompanied by a flash of white light, a figure appeared in the teleportation array.
"Pop!"
At the same time, the grand protective array above the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect was directly broken through.
