Chapter 666: The Realm
Chapter 666: The Realm
Bai Ling was enveloped in the white light emitted by the Xue Ling Fox, and even with Chu Ning's keen eyesight, she couldn't see through it.
As the white light intensified, the fluctuations of spiritual energy became more and more violent.
The ice-attributed spiritual energy of Xue Ji Mountain quickly gathered towards their location.
It formed crystal-like spiritual energy condensations, resembling summoning spirit stones, and they all drilled into the white light.
However, Chu Ning could sense that the spiritual energy outside the Xue Ji Mountain's array was not affected in the slightest.
"It seems that when this Xue Ling Fox set up the array here, she was well-prepared.
The abundance of spiritual energy in Xue Ji Mountain is not due to innate spirit veins like the Beihan Snowpeak Mountains.
Instead, it is gathered by the array, and the arrays of the Immortal Demon World are indeed extraordinary."
At this moment, Chu Ning couldn't help but carefully sense the operation of the array.
He had studied numerous arrays, but only the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Spider Array of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect could barely compare to this array in terms of gathering spiritual energy.
Chu Ning carefully felt the fluctuations of the array as the two Xue Ling Foxes inherited their cultivation.
This lasted for an entire incense stick's worth of time.
As the white light dissipated, the figures of Bai Ling and the Xue Ling Fox appeared.
The Xue Ling Fox in the air was now faint, like smoke, as if it might dissipate at any moment.
Bai Ling, at this moment, exuded a powerful aura, even surpassing Chu Ning's.
It was evident that her cultivation had reached a level close to the Divine Transformation Stage.
Her body was enveloped in a layer of ice-cold spiritual power, giving an unreal feeling, like an ice sculpture.
Her fair face was crystal-clear, especially her eyes, which resembled ice crystals.
Bai Ling was also surprised by her cultivation progress. She looked down at herself, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly, a wave of spiritual power surged around her, and all the ice-attributed spiritual power outside her body was restrained.
Bai Ling returned to her previous state, appearing only slightly more powerful, with no other noticeable changes.
Seeing this, Chu Ning couldn't help but sigh.
"The Heavenly Spirit Beasts are indeed the favorites of heaven and earth."
Even with inherited treasures or heavenly materials, it's challenging for human cultivators to achieve such a leap in cultivation.
It's not easy for cultivators to digest and absorb the obtained power, as it requires a significant amount of time.
But now, in just one incense stick's time, Bai Ling had assimilated the inherited power of the Xue Ling Fox.
Moreover, judging by the fluctuations of spiritual power around Bai Ling, she had already mastered this power.
Only the Heavenly Spirit Beasts, who take from heaven and earth, could achieve this.
"Bai Ling, I've passed on all my spiritual power to you, but unfortunately, I suffered severe injuries in the past, and my physical body was destroyed.
Additionally, the suppression of the world's power here has hindered my ability to help you reach the Divine Transformation Stage directly."
There was a hint of relief and regret in the Xue Ling Fox's words.
Before Bai Ling could respond, she turned to look at Chu Ning.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I don't have much time left, so I'll use my remaining power to create a hallucination for you.
Experience the realm of Divine Transformation Cultivators, and I hope you will treat Bai Ling well in the future. If there's a chance, help my race regain its position at the pinnacle of the Immortal Demon World."
After saying this, the Xue Ling Fox waved her hand casually.
Chu Ning felt himself immersed in a world of ice and snow.
Beside him, Bai Ling's figure also appeared.
Before the two could exchange any words, the scene before them changed.
One after another, figures rushed in.
These people began to fight with the Xue Ling Fox.
As one fight ended, another person appeared.
Each person's movements seemed capable of overturning mountains and seas.
Under the fluctuations of essence power, the world seemed on the verge of collapse, causing even Chu Ning's heart to race.
"It seems that the Xue Ling Fox is using a hallucination to display the scenes of her previous battles.
This allows us to observe the fighting styles of different Divine Transformation Cultivators."
After realizing this, Chu Ning's heart calmed, and his entire being became immersed in the battle in the sky.
He carefully sensed the fluctuations of the world's energy caused by their divine abilities.
He felt that every move seemed to contain the rules and laws of heaven and earth.
"In the battles of Divine Transformation Cultivators, the contest of power is just one aspect.
The true determinant of victory seems to be the application of the rules and laws of heaven and earth.
It feels like each person has a region around them, and the Divine Transformation Cultivators are absolute masters of this region.
Even if one person has stronger power, their attacks will be automatically nullified when entering this region.
Just now, there was someone whose essence power fluctuations were higher than the Xue Ling Fox, but their opponent's region was breached.
And so, this person was defeated."
Chu Ning pondered, sensing the direction of Divine Transformation in his heart.
Divine Clone Technique was unleashed, and his gaze remained fixed on the Divine Transformation Cultivators.
At the same time, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Chu Ning envisioned herself in the midst of the aerial battle, sensing the myriad possibilities of the Dao's rules.
Finally, Chu Ning's body began to emanate a faint aura, and within it, a hint of spatial power intermingled.
No one knew how long it had been, but when the white light dissipated, the illusion vanished.
Xue Ling Fox's figure reappeared, her body, which had been as faint as mist, now bore faint spots.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the mist was unable to solidify, as if it might dissipate into the air at any moment.
"Senior, you..."
Bai Ling looked at this figure, her face involuntarily revealing concern.
Xue Ling Fox smiled and shook her head.
"It's fine, Bai Ling. We have no blood relation, but I've already passed on all my cultivation and divine abilities to you.
Are you willing to accept me as your master?"
"Disciple Bai Ling, I pay my respects to the master!"
Bai Ling knelt down almost without a second thought.
Xue Ling Fox saw this and a hint of joy flashed across her face.
"Good! My Xue Ji finally has a successor!
Bai Ling, the Xue Ling Fox clan is now relying on you!"
Xue Ji's face was filled with relief, and her gaze turned towards Chu Ning, whose eyes were tightly shut at this moment.
"Fellow Daoist Chu possesses extraordinary talent and has already begun to comprehend the existence of realms.
Being able to follow him is indeed a fortunate thing!
Bai Ling, your cultivation and divine abilities have reached this level, but your cultivation realm is still far behind that of Daoist Chu.
In the future, you should seek guidance from Daoist Chu more often, as I can no longer teach you..."
As she spoke, the spots on Xue Ji's body continued to spread.
"Master!"
Bai Ling's heart raced as she saw this.
"Bai Ling, don't be sad. My wish has been fulfilled, and I should be happy.
Consider this Ice Crystal Pavilion as my final gift to you!"
As her words fell, the entire Ice Crystal Pavilion condensed in mid-air, shrinking to the size of a palm and landing in front of Bai Ling.
At the same time, Xue Ji's mist-like body completely dissipated.
Bai Ling held the Ice Crystal Pavilion in her hand, looking towards the void where Xue Ji's figure had disappeared, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Ever since her awakening in the Dong Sheng Continent years ago, Bai Ling had been trying to uncover the secrets of her origins.
But when she finally obtained the answers, she couldn't bring herself to feel happy.
Even though her cultivation and divine abilities had soared within just half a month, reaching the pinnacle of this realm.
She was already at the Demigod Realm, just one step away from the Divine Transformation Stage.
But the thought that she was the only Xue Ling Fox in this realm, and even in the Immortal Demon World, she didn't know how many of her kin were left, filled Bai Ling's heart with loneliness and sadness.
No one knew how long it had been, but she finally took a deep breath and turned her gaze towards Chu Ning, who was still in deep meditation.
"I originally only had my master to rely on, and it's still the same now..."
As her emotions gradually calmed, a hint of curiosity appeared in Bai Ling's lively eyes.
"Previously, the master said that the master began to comprehend 'realms,' which seemed to be related to the Divine Transformation Stage.
What are realms?"
Bai Ling's understanding of the Divine Transformation Stage and the comprehension of the rules of heaven and earth was not as profound as Chu Ning's.
At this moment, her eyes held curiosity, but also a hint of confusion.
[New Chapter 69]
She tried to carefully recall the battle between Xue Ji and the other Divine Transformation Cultivators in the illusion.
But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't find any clues.
Bai Ling knew that as Xue Ji had said, although her cultivation and divine abilities had greatly improved after receiving Xue Ji's legacy, her comprehension of the rules of heaven and earth was still far behind Chu Ning's.
After trying without success, Bai Ling decided not to force it and instead began to study the treasure in her hand.
The Ice Crystal Pavilion was originally the legacy treasure of the Xue Ling Fox clan.
With the cultivation and divine abilities that Xue Ji had passed on to her, Bai Ling only needed to study the Ice Crystal Pavilion for a short while to understand how to use it.
However, this treasure could only unleash its full power after refinement.
Seeing that Chu Ning was still cultivating and wouldn't be finished for a while, Bai Ling decided to start refining the clan's treasure.
One person comprehended, and one person refined.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a month passed.
Bai Ling had completely refined the Ice Crystal Pavilion half a month ago, but Chu Ning was still not finished.
She didn't want to disturb him.
This was a good opportunity to consolidate her cultivation realm.
Although Xue Ji had passed on her Yuan Li and various divine abilities, Bai Ling had already mastered them in a short time due to her natural talent.
But to truly transform it into his own combat power, he would still need to undergo a period of cultivation.
Time quietly passed as the two of them cultivated.
"Huh!"
Three years later, Chu Ning, who had kept his eyes tightly closed, took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
In his line of sight, a graceful figure was dancing in the distance.
Bai Ling held a crystal pavilion the size of a half-person.
As her figure swayed, the surrounding hundred zhang area turned into ice.
Chu Ning's divine sense was incredibly powerful, and with his divine sense perception, he could sense the astonishing strength of the ice surrounding Bai Ling.
"This ice, even compared to the ice crystal tree's roots, is not inferior in the slightest.
It seems that after a few years, Bai Ling's strength has greatly improved."
Chu Ning revealed a hint of a smile, relieved. As for the range of her attack, it was obvious that Bai Ling had restrained herself.
Otherwise, with such intensity of ice, not to mention a hundred zhang, even a thousand li, Bai Ling could probably turn it into a glacier with a single thought.
Chu Ning was inspired and spoke loudly:
"Bai Ling, try attacking me with your treasure!"
"Okay, master, be careful!"
Hearing Chu Ning's voice, Bai Ling's spiritual eyes flickered, and her fair hands suddenly became crystal clear as she infused her spiritual power into the Ice Mirror Pavilion in front of her.
The next moment, a faint white light could be seen shooting out from the Ice Mirror Pavilion, rushing towards Chu Ning.
At the same time, in front of Bai Ling, a glacier appeared and quickly spread towards Chu Ning, reaching within fifty zhang of him in the blink of an eye.
Chu Ning's expression remained calm, and he made no move.
What even Bai Ling couldn't detect was that in front of Chu Ning, an invisible barrier expanded outward.
The glacier was blocked when it reached twenty zhang away from Chu Ning, coming into contact with the invisible barrier.
The glacier halted abruptly.
"Eh!"
Bai Ling couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Over the past three years, she had become thoroughly familiar with the power of her Ice Mirror Pavilion's attacks.
Bai Ling naturally knew that Chu Ning was powerful, and it would be difficult for her attacks to harm him.
But at this moment, Chu Ning showed no signs of movement, and she didn't even sense any fluctuations in his spiritual power, yet he had blocked the ice impact.
Bai Ling was greatly astonished.
As she carefully sensed again, she could vaguely see a ripple in front of Chu Ning.
Even so, Bai Ling still couldn't sense any spiritual power fluctuations on Chu Ning's body.
"Could it be...
'Domain'!"
Bai Ling suddenly remembered what Xue Ji had said and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"That's right, this is the Domain!"
Chu Ning smiled slightly at this moment, and as he lifted his hand, an invisible sword made of essence appeared and directly struck the glacier in front of him.
The glacier was instantly split in half by Chu Ning's strike.
Seeing this, Bai Ling's heart moved, and the hundreds of zhang glacier was directly retracted into the Ice Mirror Pavilion.
At the same time, Chu Ning's faint voice also reached her.
"Do you notice any differences?"
Bai Ling flashed over and flew to Chu Ning's side, nodding slightly.
"When the master first used the 'Domain', I couldn't sense any spiritual power fluctuations.
But with that last strike, I could feel the powerful force of the law being triggered."
"Your perception is accurate," Chu Ning nodded.
"At the beginning, I used the 'Domain', which is the law of heaven and earth triggered by a cultivator's understanding of the rules of the Dao.
It has little to do with the level of one's spiritual power, but is related to one's comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth."
At this point, Chu Ning smiled and said,
"Of course, the two are complementary. If one's cultivation hasn't reached a certain height, it's naturally difficult to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth."
Chu Ning continued, with a hint of regret,
"It's just a pity that I haven't truly cultivated a perfect essence power, so my comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth is still at the beginner level.
Therefore, the 'Domain' I can activate has a small range and insufficient power."
"The master is already very powerful. I heard from my master that only Divine Transformation Cultivators can comprehend the 'Domain'."
Bai Ling quickly added.
Chu Ning smiled slightly after hearing this.
"This should be related to my long-term comprehension of the power of heaven and earth, and I have a feeling.
If, during the process of cultivation and comprehension, I combine the comprehension of the 'Domain', it seems that the perception of the power of heaven and earth will become even more wondrous."
"This will also greatly aid in taking the final step to cultivate essence power, perhaps..."
Chu Ning raised his head, and his eyes shone with a hint of light.
"I've truly taken another step towards Divine Transformation."
