Chapter 664: Xue Ling Xianhu
Chapter 664: Xue Ling Xianhu
Over the course of a few months, Chu Ning's understanding of Yuanli had reached new heights.
Although he had not yet achieved complete harmony and clarity, he had made some progress.
After all, with so many top experts from various continents as sparring partners, and with Chu Ning constantly using his Yuanli, such an opportunity was truly rare.
However, Chu Ning also realized that relying solely on this method of combat to complete the final step of his cultivation was still impossible.
In the recent battles, Chu Ning had clearly felt a bottleneck.
He also understood that he needed other opportunities to achieve his final enlightenment.
Therefore, Chu Ning took the initiative to suggest ending this period of exchange that had lasted for several months.
As a result, the few Half-God Cultivators were somewhat reluctant to part ways.
From the very beginning, they had been amazed by Chu Ning's Yuanli cultivation.
But they were also somewhat skeptical about the Tian Yan Ben Yuan Jue that Chu Ning had shared.
However, after a month, Ling Yue Xianzi took the lead in cultivating, and the others soon followed suit.
Moreover, after Ling Yue Xianzi took the lead, they occasionally asked Chu Ning about their cultivation doubts on the spot.
Furthermore, everyone present was among the most talented and gifted individuals in this realm.
Naturally, their cultivation of Primordial Power progressed rapidly.
They, of course, hoped to seize this opportunity and make the most of it.
However, upon hearing Chu Ning's intention to leave, everyone knew that persuading him to stay would be difficult.
Taking advantage of the silence, Ling Yue Xianzi quickly transmitted her voice, saying, "Chu Daoyou, if it's convenient for you, why not visit my cave abode?
My abode is located on Zishuang Island, not too far from the Endless Sea, and I hope you can help me gather some Primordial Stones."
Chu Ning wasn't particularly interested in Ling Yue Xianzi's proposal; at that moment, he was actually thinking about going to the Wanguang Sect.
The Tian Luo Wan Xiang Array was his next hope for a breakthrough in his cultivation.
But at that moment, Ling Yue Xianzi's words stirred something within Chu Ning.
"I can also provide you with some information about Xue Ling Xianhu."
Xue Ling Xianhu?
Upon hearing Ling Yue Xianzi's words, Chu Ning immediately knew she was referring to Bai Ling.
During this trip, Chu Ning had left the other spirit beasts in Beihan, but he had habitually kept Bai Ling by his side.
Over the past three months, Chu Ning had not let her idle; a few days ago, he had summoned her from the Spirit Beast Bag and had her cultivate in a nearby marine area.
When Bai Ling was summoned, she did not hide from the crowd, and Chu Ning had not expected Ling Yue Xianzi to instantly recognize her origins.
Ever since taking Bai Ling as his spirit beast, Chu Ning had been inquiring about her true identity.
Even though Chu Ning knew that she was most likely a spirit beast from the Immortal Demon World,
he had never been able to find out her exact origins.
He hadn't expected that Ling Yue Xianzi would recognize her with just a glance and reveal the name Xue Ling Xianhu.
Chu Ning searched his memory for information about spirit beasts and demon beasts, confirming that he had never heard of such a name in this realm.
He immediately turned his gaze towards Ling Yue Xianzi, whose face was filled with a smile.
He wasn't entirely sure if Ling Yue Xianzi's words were true, but after a moment of consideration, he decided to go and investigate.
He transmitted his reply, "Ling Yue Daoyou, please go ahead. Chu Ning will catch up with you later."
Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, Ling Yue Xianzi was overjoyed, but she didn't show any expression on her face.
She merely nodded towards Chu Ning and said, "Chu Daoyou, thank you for your guidance these past days. You are also welcome to visit Zishuang Island.
We shall meet again!"
Ling Yue Xianzi left without hesitation, and the other major sect cultivators did not linger either.
They all bid farewell to Chu Ning and departed.
Mo Sha Shenjun had been standing not far away, and after everyone had said their goodbyes, he flew forward and slightly bowed to Chu Ning, his expression now more complex.
"Chu Daoyou, thank you for your guidance these past days.
Two hundred years ago, I offended you in Beihan. I apologize for my past actions and hope you won't hold it against me."
As Mo Sha Shenjun spoke, he bowed to Chu Ning, performing a ritual similar to that of a junior.
Chu Ning's displayed strength and skills had indeed made Mo Sha Shenjun completely submit.
Even though Chu Ning hadn't expressed any dissatisfaction about the incident from those years, Mo Sha Shenjun still wanted to hear a clear response from Chu Ning.
For this, he was even willing to perform the ritual of a junior in front of Chu Ning.
Upon seeing Mo Sha Shenjun's behavior, Chu Ning smiled faintly.
If Chu Ning were at the late-stage of the Nascent Soul or had a similar level of strength as Mo Sha Shenjun, he would not have let the matter rest.
But with Chu Ning's current strength, Mo Sha Shenjun could no longer pose a threat to him.
Even if Chu Ning didn't appear, with the Ice Phoenix and the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle around, Mo Sha Shenjun couldn't threaten those close to Chu Ning.
Moreover, if Mo Sha Shenjun truly brought the cultivation methods of the Mo Sha Sect's Primordial Power, it would be more beneficial than harmful to Chu Ning.
So, at this moment, Chu Ning decided to give Mo Sha Shenjun a way out.
"Brother, there's no need for such formality. Our positions were different back then, and it's all in the past.
Speaking of which, I should thank you for the Gale Wind Dart you gave me. It has helped me a lot."
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Mo Sha Shenjun's heart settled.
Regarding the Gale Wind Dart that Chu Ning mentioned, although he had some lingering thoughts about it, he didn't dare ask for it back at this moment.
Not only did he not dare to ask Chu Ning for the dart, but he also had to offer an apology.
"In that case, many thanks, fellow cultivator!"
As Demon Tyrant spoke, he quickly took out three items from his storage bag.
"The items used in our Demon Tyrant Sect may not be suitable for you, but these three things are not bad. Please accept them if you don't mind."
Chu Ning glanced at the three items, and indeed, they were all demon sect items.
However, one of them caught his attention—the Infernal Pearl, which would be very useful for Zichen Jin.
Moreover, judging by its quality, it seemed even better than the Infernal Pearl he had mentioned before.
Chu Ning immediately acted nonchalantly, waving his hand to collect all three items.
He continued with a faint smile, "You're too kind, fellow cultivator. Let's consider the matter from before settled."
Only after seeing Chu Ning accept the items and hearing his words did Demon Tyrant truly feel relieved.
To be honest, their Demon Tyrant Sect had suffered significant losses in personnel over the past few hundred years.
The unexpected incidents at Nine Transcendent Spirit Mountain and in the Northern Cold had resulted in the near annihilation of their top experts.
Although he was in the Demigod Realm, he felt the pressure of being the sole pillar.
Successfully appeasing Chu Ning, a potential threat, was of utmost importance to Demon Tyrant.
However, he was unaware that Chu Ning had seen through this.
Chu Ning felt that great chaos was approaching, and it was better to preserve these top experts in the Heaven Derivative Realm.
Moreover, with the decline in the Demon Tyrant Sect's strength, they were no longer a significant threat.
Bai Ling had been observing from a distance, and as soon as she saw Demon Tyrant leave, she immediately flew forward with a smile.
"Master, even a Demigod cultivator submits to you. Doesn't that make you feel accomplished?"
Chu Ning shook his head noncommittally.
"If it were two hundred years ago, I might have felt that way, but now..."
"That's true. Of course, you're solely focused on pursuing the Great Dao," Bai Ling blinked and then asked, "Master, are we returning to the Wanguang Sect now?"
"No," Chu Ning replied, his gaze falling on Bai Ling, "We're going to Purple Frost Island. Ling Yue Fairy invited me just now, saying that you are a member of the Xue Ling Fox clan and might have some knowledge about it. Let's go and see the situation."
"Xue Ling Fox?"
Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, Bai Ling's eyes froze.
Chu Ning noticed her reaction and asked, "Bai Ling, what's wrong? What did you remember?"
Bai Ling tilted her head in thought, then shook her head again, but her eyes held a hint of anticipation.
"The name sounds familiar, but I can't recall the complete memory. Perhaps it's truly related to my origins."
Hearing Bai Ling's words, Chu Ning didn't hesitate and immediately flew towards the direction where Ling Yue Fairy had left.
Ling Yue Fairy hadn't flown away at full speed, and within half an hour, Chu Ning had caught up with her.
Seeing Chu Ning and Bai Ling catching up, a hint of joy flashed across Ling Yue Fairy's face.
She stopped in the air and waited for Chu Ning to approach before engaging in some polite conversation.
Chu Ning interrupted her directly, "Ling Yue, you mentioned that Bai Ling is a Xue Ling Fox?"
Ling Yue Fairy smiled and nodded, "My master's records mentioned some information about the Xue Ling Fox. Just now, I sensed the aura of your spirit beast, and I'm sure it's correct."
Bai Ling, upon hearing this, couldn't wait to ask, "Senior Ling Yue, can you tell me more about it?"
Chu Ning added from the side, "I won't hide it from you, Ling Yue. Since Bai Ling has followed me, I've been hoping to find some information about her origins, but I haven't found any clues.
So, she doesn't even know what race she belongs to."
Ling Yue Fairy nodded slightly after listening.
"So that's the case! According to my knowledge, the Xue Ling Fox did indeed appear on Xueji Mountain in the northern part of Zishuang Island ten thousand years ago.
It's no wonder you know nothing about it, as there has been no news of the Xian Fox in this realm since then.
My master had some dealings with the Xian Fox, so I have a general understanding of the aura changes of this spirit beast.
I also know that this beast is from the Upper Realm, but I don't know much more than that.
However, the Xue Ling Fox mentioned that even in the Upper Realm, this race is extremely rare."
Ling Yue Fairy then mentioned that the Xue Ling Fox clan could ignore many seals and had some divine abilities related to transformation.
After hearing this, Chu Ning and Bai Ling were almost certain that what she said was true.
Bai Ling asked some more detailed questions, but Ling Yue Fairy couldn't answer most of them, leaving Bai Ling somewhat disappointed.
"Xueji Mountain, I wonder which sect's territory is it in?" Chu Ning asked, changing the topic.
Ling Yue Fairy smiled, "Strictly speaking, Xueji Mountain was originally within the territory of my Purple Frost Island.
However, after the Xue Ling Fox lived there ten thousand years ago, it was separated and became unclaimed land.
But the mountain is protected by top-notch seals, and even with my cultivation level, I can't enter."
"Master!"
Hearing this, Bai Ling turned to look at Chu Ning.
Chu Ning gave her a reassuring look.
"We'll find out the truth once we go and take a look."
