Chapter 663: Transaction, The Ultimate Sparring Partner
Chapter 663: Transaction, The Ultimate Sparring Partner
The five who had attacked, their opportunistic collaboration, had failed to inflict any damage on Chu Ning, and they all ceased their actions.
Ling Yue Xianzi and Xu Yunzi exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes, they saw shock.
Chu Ning, with the strength he had displayed in the late-stage Essence Incarnation, and now, his sudden appearance without anyone noticing, was astonishing.
They had thought that Chu Ning's strength surpassed everyone else.
But no one could have imagined that Chu Ning had become this powerful.
He had effortlessly withstood the siege of three people.
And now, facing the combined attack of five, he remained unscathed.
Such strength left the two of them in awe.
As for the five in the arena, they all fell silent.
Their inner shock was even more profound than that of Ling Yue Xianzi and Xu Yunzi.
The power of their combined attack was something they could sense more keenly.
If any one of them had been in that attack, they would likely have been obliterated.
But Chu Ning was completely unharmed, a strength that shocked everyone.
After a few moments of silence, Ling Feng Venerable spoke first:
"Chu, your abilities are formidable. We are no match for you, and I truly admire your strength. It seems your claim of advancing to the Divine Transformation Stage is not an empty boast."
As Ling Feng Venerable spoke, the seven Demigod Realm Cultivators' gazes towards Chu Ning became slightly fervent.
Before this, they had been skeptical about Chu Ning's claim of reaching the Divine Transformation Stage.
But now, not only had Chu Ning demonstrated overwhelming strength, but he could also utilize Essence Energy.
This was enough proof that Chu Ning was the closest to achieving Divine Transformation in the past 20,000 years.
"Fellow cultivators, I have indeed found the path to advancing to the Divine Transformation Stage.
I have even crossed the threshold..."
Chu Ning didn't hide anything and directly revealed that he had discovered the ability to condense Essence Energy by merging Primordial Power with Spirit Energy.
He didn't mention the Immortal Seeds.
He only stated that he had inadvertently merged the two powers while cultivating the Nine Transformations Body Refinement Art, and in the process, he had condensed Essence Energy.
Additionally, he had gained insights from the words left behind by the Ninth Derivation Elder in the Nine Evolution Spirit Mountain.
After years of cultivation and comprehension, he was now creating a cultivation method for Essence Energy.
Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, the crowd's faces showed signs of contemplation.
After a brief silence, Xu Yunzi spoke up:
"I believe what Fellow Daoist Chu has said."
Facing the crowd's gaze, Xu Yunzi continued:
"Actually, our sect's ancient records mention that the reason we cannot cultivate Essence Energy is due to the deficiency in Spirit Energy within the world.
As for the Primordial Power that Fellow Daoist Chu mentioned, our sect's elders have also attempted to explore it.
In fact, I believe all of you have come across Primordial Stones, but this power is distinct from Spirit Energy, and its scarcity makes further research impractical."
Xu Yunzi's gaze fixed intensely on Chu Ning, his eyes glowing with an uncharacteristic fervor for a cultivator.
"Since Fellow Daoist Chu can merge these two powers, it's likely that you have already grasped the method to cultivate this power.
Moreover, you should also have a way to find this power."
At this moment, it wasn't just Xu Yunzi; among the crowd, except for Ling Yue Xianzi, whose expression remained slightly perplexed, the other cultivators' faces showed enlightenment, and their eyes mirrored a hint of fervor.
Evidently, as long-standing sects on the Sky Curtain Continent, they had also encountered records similar to what Xu Yunzi had mentioned.
As a wandering cultivator, Ling Yue Xianzi naturally had less exposure in this regard.
But seeing the crowd's expressions, she understood that they all agreed with Chu Ning's words.
Chu Ning noticed the subtle changes in their expressions and eyes but didn't pay them any mind.
He took out several jade slips from his storage bag and waved his hand, causing the jade slips to float in front of each person.
Simultaneously, he calmly spoke:
"What Fellow Daoist Xu said is correct. I have indeed mastered the method to cultivate Primordial Power.
These jade slips contain the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art, the best technique for cultivating Primordial Power that I have created. Before coming to the Sky Curtain Continent, I had already passed on this method to many cultivators.
The results have been excellent; you can take these jade slips as a reference."
Hearing Chu Ning's words, the Demigod Realm Cultivators from the Sky Curtain Continent showed hesitation on their faces.
For a moment, not a single person reached out to take the jade slips.
Chu Ning, seeing this, didn't mind and continued, "As for the sources of Primordial Power, I have indeed discovered a few locations.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no harm in telling you that beneath the Endless Sea, spanning tens of thousands of miles, lies the existence of Primordial Energy."
"Primordial Energy beneath the Endless Sea!"
Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, everyone's faces flashed with surprise.
Then, they all showed a thoughtful expression, and Venerable Lingfeng murmured:
"No wonder there's not a trace of Spirit Energy above the Endless Sea. It turns out that beneath it lies the Primordial Energy.
It's normal for Primordial Energy and Spirit Energy to repel each other.
Our sect also had seniors who attempted to uncover the secrets of the Endless Sea's depths, but they couldn't reach such depths, so they failed to discover it."
After saying this, Venerable Lingfeng hesitated for a moment, then took the jade slip in front of him and looked at Chu Ning, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I have a bold question to ask, so please forgive my rudeness.
Since you've mastered this cultivation method and know the location of Primordial Energy, you should be able to delve deep into the sea.
Why would you then inform us, and aren't you concerned that we might threaten you after successfully cultivating?"
Venerable Lingfeng's words undoubtedly voiced everyone's thoughts.
Seeing this, Chu Ning's eyes carried a hint of a smile as he said:
"You all probably have more than just this doubt, and you're also concerned that I might tamper with this cultivation method.
Once you cultivate it, you'll be under my control.
After all, you're not familiar with the cultivation method of Primordial Energy, and even if there are issues, you won't be able to identify them."
Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, everyone fell silent. In fact, this was their genuine concern.
At this moment, Fairy Lingyue spoke up:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, we indeed have such thoughts. After all, it's not easy to cultivate to this stage.
Being cautious and careful is always necessary, so please forgive us."
Chu Ning smiled faintly and said, "I understand. If I were in your shoes, I'd have the same concerns."
After a brief pause, Chu Ning continued, "In fact, there's a reason why I'm so open about sharing these cultivation methods and information with you all.
Hundreds of years ago, on Dong Sheng Continent, I encountered the lingering souls of two Daoist friends from ten thousand years ago in the ruins of Leihu Zong.
They had contact with the Immortal Seeds and obtained some information."
"Leihu Zong!"
"Immortal Seeds!"
As Chu Ning spoke, the faces of the Demigod Realm cultivators revealed astonishment.
At this moment, Meng Xinghe's tone carried a hint of strangeness.
"Ten thousand years ago, a conflict over the Immortal Seeds occurred in Beihan, and the two sect leaders of Leihu Zong were the ones who obtained them.
I heard that the sect was later destroyed by the Outer Realm Demons, but I didn't expect you to have encountered their lingering souls."
Chu Ning wasn't surprised that several powerful cultivators from Sky Curtain Continent knew about Leihu Zong.
After all, numerous cultivators had participated in the pursuit of the Immortal Seeds back then, and some had returned to Sky Curtain Continent, even bringing back some information.
Chu Ning then shared the general information he had learned from the Immortal Seeds about Primordial Energy, Spirit Energy, and other related matters.
However, he omitted the part about the Immortal Realm seeking the Immortal Seeds.
In addition to that, Chu Ning naturally had some personal motives as well.
Chu Ning paid no heed to the complex expressions on everyone's faces and continued, "Chu has always been slightly lacking in his comprehension of the fusion of two powers, and I need to try different methods to complete the final step.
Sparring with other cultivators to see if I can enhance my understanding during the battle is also a direction I believe is worth exploring.
With that in mind, all of you here are the most suitable candidates."
The expressions of the several Demigod Realm Cultivators from the Sky Curtain Continent loosened up, and it was evident that they had more or less believed Chu Ning's words.
At this moment, Chu Ning's expression turned solemn as he said, "There's also another reason, and it's related to the Yuyi Tian Mo from beyond the realms.
In the You Mo Shan of Xi Meng Daliu, I once fought against a Yuyi Tian Mo who was close to the Divine Transformation Stage.
I believe there isn't just one of them in this world, and they've been here for a long time.
Now, after ten thousand years, I think all of you should be able to sense their growing restlessness.
Even with my strength, I can't resist them alone.
If this world were to face a calamity, no one would be safe. In this sense, we share common interests and a common enemy."
After saying this, Chu Ning didn't elaborate further.
The several Demigod Realm Cultivators exchanged glances, then looked at each other again.
Immediately, they began to use their Divine Perception to scan the jade slips in front of them with great understanding.
One by one, they began to reveal their contemplative thoughts.
These individuals were the strongest in the world, and their experiences were unparalleled.
Moreover, they had all come into contact with Primordial Stones, although none of them had ever cultivated Primordial Energy.
However, upon seeing this cultivation method, they could roughly grasp its profound mysteries.
Seeing Chu Ning create such a cultivation method, they couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.
At this moment, as the crowd gazed at the jade slips, Chu Ning remained exceptionally calm.
He had already given the Heaven's Derivative Primal Source Art to several people, and whether they would cultivate it or not was of no concern to him.
He genuinely hoped that more cultivators would cultivate Primordial Energy, as its further development would undoubtedly benefit everyone.
Furthermore, he wasn't worried that anyone who cultivated it would become a threat to him.
Each person cultivated different methods, and the way to fuse Spirit Energy with Primordial Energy varied accordingly.
He had only provided the method to cultivate Primordial Energy; how to integrate Essence Power in the future was still a matter for each individual.
By the time that happened, Chu Ning's height would be far beyond the reach of these cultivators.
As he calmly observed the crowd, the several Demigod Realm Cultivators finished reading the cultivation method and put away the jade slips.
The first to speak was still the silver-haired, purple-robed Spirit Moon Fairy.
"Chu, this method of cultivating Primordial Energy is extremely profound, and I've never come across it before. I'll need to take it back and study it carefully.
I don't know if you have any Primordial Stones, but I'm willing to exchange them for other treasures."
As soon as Spirit Moon Fairy spoke, the rest of the group could no longer remain silent. They all approached Chu Ning, asking to exchange Primordial Stones with him.
Before coming, Chu Ning had indeed brought a significant number of Primordial Stones, and he started trading them right there.
It was only at this moment that everyone realized that, in a certain sense, their cultivation was somewhat dependent on Chu Ning.
After all, it was clear that no one could obtain Primordial Stones in the same large quantities as Chu Ning.
Although Chu Ning had informed them that beneath the Endless Sea lay Primordial Energy and that Primordial Stones must exist there, they were also well aware that, at this stage, they couldn't possibly venture deep into the seabed to obtain them.
Of course, at this stage, they wouldn't be so uninteresting as to bring up such a matter.
After obtaining a large number of Primordial Stones from Chu Ning, they no longer refused when he proposed sparring.
In fact, they also wanted to carefully sense the Essence Power from Chu Ning once more.
This time, the sparring was different from before. Chu Ning not only refrained from using magical treasures but also avoided employing divine abilities like the Zi Yang Flame and Void Secret Technique.
He simply used the Essence Power he had condensed to battle against the crowd.
Sometimes it was a one-on-one battle, and other times, it was three-on-one. The seven top experts of the Sky Curtain Continent had become Chu Ning's sparring partners.
Through continuous battles and the extensive use of Essence Power, Chu Ning constantly honed his understanding of this power.
Three months later, the sea surface was filled with chaotic Spirit Energy, and there were even numerous spatial rifts, surpassing the collapse of the Nine Evolution Spirit Mountain.
Chu Ning stood in mid-air, a hint of satisfaction on his face.
