Chapter 660: Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array
Chu Ning's return to the Sky Curtain Continent and his advancement to the Demigod Realm, even openly declaring his intention to strive for Soul Transformation, had become a hot topic across the continent.
At this moment, Chu Ning chose to remain within the Wanguang Sect.
After a separation of over two hundred years, he discovered that the cultivation levels of the Wanguang Sect's members had greatly improved.
Not only had Xu Qingbai, who was once a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, reached the peak of early-stage Nascent Soul, nearing the mid-stage, but there were also two other Golden Core cultivators who had successfully formed their Nascent Souls.
Even the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators had made significant progress in their cultivation.
Despite this, their strength still lagged far behind that of the Longkong Pavilion and the Jiuhua Sect.
Chu Ning's own cultivation speed was also significantly faster than theirs.
However, it still caught Chu Ning's attention.
"The Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array?"
After conversing with Xu Qingbai, Chu Ning learned that the cultivators in the sect primarily relied on this inherited array for cultivation. This piqued Chu Ning's curiosity.
Chu Ning had seen most of the Wanguang Sect's arrays and had studied many of them.
However, he hadn't delved too deeply into the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array because, at the time, he had seen it as an auxiliary cultivation tool.
Back then, he possessed numerous cultivation treasures and arrays for gathering spiritual energy.
But setting up the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array required extremely complex and hard-to-obtain materials, so he had overlooked it.
After hearing Xu Qingbai's explanation, Chu Ning intentionally went to see the array that everyone was setting up.
As soon as he entered the array, Chu Ning was slightly surprised.
The Wanguang Sect's current location had a decent spirit vein, but it was just decent, nothing more.
It still couldn't compare to the major sects.
This was also why the Wanguang Sect's strength hadn't improved much over the years.
However, the spiritual energy within the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array was now almost on par with the cultivation peaks in the Jiuhua Mountains.
What truly astonished Chu Ning was that the spiritual energy within the array was close to its most pristine and pure state.
Chu Ning, who had once comprehended the Chaos Immortal Art, had profound insights into various types of attribute spiritual energy.
Although the spiritual energy of different attributes in the world was pure, it was also mixed together, making it harder for cultivators to absorb and cultivate, thus slowing down their progress.
Therefore, using heavenly materials and various spirit potions to provide purer and more targeted spiritual energy could aid in cultivation.
Using arrays to gather spiritual energy often resulted in a more noticeable effect when focusing on a specific attribute.
But within the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array, Chu Ning felt that every attribute of spiritual energy was incredibly pure and balanced.
This meant that cultivators of any cultivation technique could achieve the same cultivation effect within this array.
What's more, just by entering the array, Chu Ning could clearly sense the origins of various attribute spiritual energies.
This was something that Nascent Soul cultivators, or even post-Nascent Soul cultivators who had quieted their minds to comprehend, could usually sense.
For example, Chu Ning had experienced this during his initial comprehension of the Chaos Immortal Art.
But at this moment, he had just entered the array and hadn't even carefully experienced it yet, but he could already feel it.
This was undoubtedly related to Chu Ning's own cultivation and profound abilities.
However, it also demonstrated the profundity of this array.
"It seems I made a mistake by not thoroughly researching this array before.
If I had this array to assist me, I probably could have created the first three layers of the Chaos Immortal Art much faster."
Chu Ning muttered to himself, then began to examine the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array while taking out the jade slip that recorded the array.
After observing for a while, Chu Ning suddenly exclaimed, "Oh?"
Then, he turned to Xu Qingbai and asked, "This array seems like it can be further improved. Why isn't this inherited array considered complete?"
"Incomplete?" Xu Qingbai was taken aback for a moment before reacting, "Senior, are you referring to the part about gathering primordial power?"
"Gathering primordial power?"
This time, even Chu Ning was slightly surprised.
Xu Qingbai wasn't surprised by the mention of primordial power.
After all, some arrays in the Wanguang Sect were set up using primordial stones.
For example, Di Yan from Cloud Hidden Island had wanted to research it but never succeeded.
This indicated that the previous cultivators of the sect had some understanding of primordial power, so the sect's inheritance had a long history.
However, hearing Xu Qingbai mention that it could gather primordial power still surprised Chu Ning.
Seeing Chu Ning's interest, Xu Qingbai continued, "Senior, you must already know about primordial power.
I, on the other hand, don't understand this power very well.
But from the sect's records, I learned that during the time of our founder, some cultivators seemed to be exchanging cultivation methods to gather primordial power to break through the Nascent Soul stage bottleneck.
But later, when spiritual energy became abundant, primordial power became hard to find, so no one paid attention to it anymore.
Thus, no one continued to research this array for gathering primordial power.
However, we have always kept this part of the array."
"Gathering Primordial Energy for cultivation."
Chu Ning's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.
If this Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array could gather Primordial Energy for cultivation, along with Spirit Energy, would it help him cross the final step?
With this thought in mind, Chu Ning carefully examined the jade slip.
Xu Qingbai, seeing this, didn't dare to interrupt and quietly waited by the side.
Chu Ning read the contents of the jade slip several times, paying close attention to the part about gathering Primordial Energy.
After nearly half a day, Chu Ning finally put down the jade slip.
He turned his head and said to Xu Qingbai:
"Sect Master Xu, I'd like to use this array for cultivation and enlightenment for a while. Is that convenient?"
"Convenient! Of course, it's convenient!" Xu Qingbai immediately replied.
"The founder of our sect has shown great kindness to me. If you want to use this array for cultivation, I'll make arrangements immediately and ensure that no other disciples enter it again."
"There's no rush!" Chu Ning waved his hand.
"I'll come back after some time, and when I do, I might want to make some minor modifications to the array."
"Do you want to supplement the part of the array that gathers Primordial Energy?"
Xu Qingbai had his own speculations after hearing Chu Ning's words, so he curiously asked.
Chu Ning nodded.
"However, the array created and contemplated by your founder back then wasn't complete, and the effect of gathering Primordial Energy was probably not ideal either.
I need some time to carefully contemplate it again."
Chu Ning had just finished studying the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array recorded on the jade slip.
The part about gathering Primordial Energy was actually incomplete, just like the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art of the Ninth Derivation Elder.
It seemed that the founding ancestor of the Wanguang Sect had a similar experience to the Ninth Derivation Elder.
While attempting to cultivate by merging with Primordial Energy, the Primordial Energy suddenly changed.
It was then that he abandoned the cultivation of Primordial Energy.
Chu Ning wondered if this person's cultivation of Primordial Energy was inspired by the Ninth Derivation Elder.
Even if the existing Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array were supplemented with the part that gathers Primordial Energy, in Chu Ning's opinion, the effect would still be far from sufficient.
It wouldn't promote his current cultivation either.
As for whether it could help him take the final step after being perfected, allowing the fusion of Spirit Energy and Primordial Energy to reach a state of ease and fluency, Chu Ning wasn't overly concerned.
However, he felt it was worth a try.
But perfecting such an array wasn't something that could be done in a day or two.
Chu Ning needed to perform more simulations.
He could do these simulations on the road, and he didn't intend to linger in the Wanguang Sect.
In Chu Ning's opinion, aside from quiet contemplation, the other way to improve was through sparring with higher-level cultivators.
So, his previous request to find Demigod Realm cultivators in the Sky Derivative Realm for sparring wasn't a lie.
In the following days, Chu Ning stayed in the Wanguang Sect.
Since he intended to perfect the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array, he naturally needed to fully comprehend the existing parts of the array.
For half a month, he carefully examined every aspect of the array.
Chu Ning grasped the entire layout of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array, as well as the principles behind it.
Only then did Chu Ning prepare to leave the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array.
As he was about to step out of the array and bid farewell to Xu Qingbai, he noticed that Xu Qingbai had already hurried over.
"Senior Chu, you have an invitation."
Chu Ning was slightly surprised. He took a simple and elegant invitation from Xu Qingbai.
Scanning it with his Divine Perception, he immediately noticed the extraordinary seals within.
"Indeed, it's from a Demigod Realm cultivator." Chu Ning muttered to himself, then waved his hand to dispel the seals.
Xu Qingbai's heart trembled at this sight.
He had also sensed the invitation's seals, finding them incredibly profound.
Moreover, seeing Lingfeng Venerable's name on the invitation, he naturally guessed that it was from a Demigod Realm cultivator.
He never expected that such seals would be dispelled by Chu Ning with a mere wave of his hand.
"Senior Chu's cultivation is truly unfathomable."
As Xu Qingbai was thinking this, Chu Ning had already scanned the invitation's contents with his Divine Perception.
His eyes flickered slightly.
"Lingfeng Venerable invites me to the place where the Nine Evolution Spirit Mountain appeared, to gather with other Demigod Realm cultivators and discuss ascending to Soul Transformation."
"Interesting, I don't have to search for them one by one."
Chu Ning had been looking for these Demigod Realm cultivators, and Lingfeng Venerable had gathered them all in one place.
It was indeed convenient for him.
As for any potential disadvantages, Chu Ning wasn't overly concerned.
Even if they had numerical superiority, Chu Ning could easily escape.
He possessed powerful abilities that allowed him to enter and exit the Void Space at will.
No one in the Sky Derivative Realm could stop him.
