Chapter 196 The Secret of the Ancient Sect, the Explosion of Divine Awareness (Subscription Request)
"Hey!"
In a dim stone room, Chu Ning slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he heard was Ling Xiaobai's surprised cry.
"Master, you're awake!"
Chu Ning tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, he felt as if his body was torn apart.
"This injury is really beyond my imagination."
Feeling the terrible condition in his body, Chu Ning smiled bitterly.
He was seriously injured by the continuous attacks of the golden elixir of the thin old man in black robe.
At that time, if he didn't use mana and slowly recuperate, it wouldn't be so serious.
But later he forced the puppet to drive and used the divine wind escape.
This undoubtedly made his injuries more serious.
At this moment, thinking back to the scenes that happened before, Chu Ning still felt scared.
If he hadn't prepared a few beads like the thunder beads when he was bored before, he would have used them to confuse the enemy.
After feeling the power of the Thunder Pearl, the Jindan cultivator really believed it and hid directly without checking it carefully.
Even if Chu Ning tried his best, he might not be able to escape.
Of course, he was able to wake up at this moment, which should be due to his practice of the body-refining technique, and his body defense and recovery ability are stronger than ordinary cultivators.
Another thing should be Ling Xiaobai's Xuanming Jue.
While he was wrapped in Ling Xiaobai's white light, he thought about taking out a small Tianyuan Pill from the storage bag and swallowing it.
After leaving the ancient sect ruins, he specially used the Tianyuan grass to refine several small Tianyuan Pills.
But at that time, he couldn't even take things out of the storage bag.
Fortunately, after entering this restriction, Ling Xiaobai continued to practice the Xuanming Jue to heal his injuries, and he was able to wake up at this moment.
I just don't know how long it took.
Chu Ning turned his head and looked at Ling Xiaobai and asked:
"Xiaobai, how many days have we been here?"
"Seven days." Ling Xiaobai replied.
This injury is really serious. Chu Ning sighed and said:
"Last time we came in, you were seriously injured, and I practiced the Xuanming Jue to help you.
This time, it's your turn to help me."
While speaking, Chu Ning felt his condition and found that he could mobilize his magic power slightly.
He immediately took out a jade bottle from the storage bag, poured out a small Tianyuan Dan and swallowed it.
Then he ordered Ling Xiaobai:
"Continue to practice the Xuanming Jue."
This Xuanming Jue can be performed between the two parties who signed the contract.
In the past few days, Chu Ning should have passively accepted treatment like Ling Xiaobai at the beginning.
And now, he can also actively practice this Xuanming Jue.
In addition, with the assistance of Ling Xiaobai, the injury must be able to recover faster.
The fact is just as Chu Ning thought.
Under the dual effects of Xiao Tianyuan Dan and Xuanming Jue, Chu Ning felt much better in just one day.
Although there were still some obstacles in the circulation of mana, at least he would not be torn apart by any random movement.
After a day of healing and training, Chu Ning could barely stand up.
He took out the Qingguang Pearl and began to look at the environment he was in.
He found that he and Ling Xiaobai were in a stone room of about five meters square.
The stone room was very empty and there were not many items.
There was only a stone bed about one meter in size and three feet high in the corner.
And on this stone bed, there was a skeleton.
It was unknown how long this wreck had been here, and the clothes and flesh had long been rotten.
Only the white bones were left.
But what made Chu Ning feel quite strange was that the white bones should have all decayed and weathered.
But this white bone did not, not only that, the bone on the chest was as crystal clear as jade.
At first glance, it was extremely conspicuous.
Chu Ning watched from a distance, but did not move closer. He just asked Ling Xiaobai in a strange way:
"Why are we in this room? Have you seen where this place is?"
"Ying!" Ling Xiaobai shook his head.
"I came here after passing through the restriction. The master was unconscious before, so I didn't dare to leave."
Chu Ning nodded, pondered for a moment and said:
"Since we came here directly after entering the formation restriction, there is no danger for a few days.
Then just stay here first and don't move anything.
Everything will be discussed after my injury recovers."
"Ying!"
Ling Xiaobai nodded in agreement.
After a rest, Chu Ning began to practice Xuanming Jue with Ling Xiaobai to heal his injuries again.
Under the urging of Xuanming Jue, the medicinal power of Xiaotianyuan Dan was dissolved and absorbed faster.
However, even so, Chu Ning spent a full ten days to completely dissolve the medicinal effect of this Xiaotianyuan Dan.
Chu Ning then took out another small Tianyuan Pill to heal his wounds.
Unlike Ling Xiaobai who could only take one Tianyuan Grass, Chu Ning had no restrictions on taking this small Tianyuan Pill.
After taking three small Tianyuan Pills, it took a whole month to heal his wounds.
Chu Ning finally felt that his injuries were almost healed.
Although there was still 20% that had not been fully recovered, Chu Ning did not feel too uncomfortable.
After finishing the healing that day, Chu Ning stood up again and began to look around the stone room.
At the same time, he carefully used his spiritual sense to investigate.
In the previous month, Chu Ning would also look at this stone chamber whenever he had a break.
However, he never dared to use his spiritual sense to investigate.
For fear of triggering a certain restriction and causing some accidents.
Now, when Chu Ning began to investigate with his spiritual sense, he was surprised to find that.
On the blank walls of this stone chamber, there were actually murals hidden.
And there were some words next to each pattern.
Chu Ning carefully checked and unexpectedly found that these patterns and words were actually connected to one event after another.
Telling the rise and fall of this ancient sect.
"Thunder Fire Sect!"
The first thing Chu Ning saw was about the rise of this sect.
The Thunder Fire Sect was originally founded by two foundation-building cultivators, one of whom was good at thunder-attribute skills and spells, and the other was good at fire-attribute skills and spells.
At first, it was not well-known in this Eastern Saint Continent, but as the strength of the two cultivators increased, they both became powerful people in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Gradually, they were ranked among the top ten strong men in the Eastern Saint Continent, and were honored as Tianlei Shangren and Huoyun Shangren respectively.
And the Leihuo Sect also became famous, not only the top sect in the Eastern Saint Continent, but also well-known in the entire Tianyan Realm.
Looking at these records, Chu Ning's eyes flickered.
"It turns out that the cultivation world here is also called Tianyan Realm, and the two are already the top strong men in the Eastern Saint Continent.
Then why did the Leihuo Sect end up in such a situation."
While thinking about this, Chu Ning continued to use his spiritual sense to explore the patterns and words on the wall.
After a long time, Chu Ning stood in this stone room, silent.
From these stone murals, Chu Ning learned.
Three hundred years after entering the late Nascent Soul stage, Tianlei Shangren and Huoyun Shangren handed over the Leihuo Sect to the great elder of the sect, who was also the painter here.
Then they both left and never came back.
Some people said that these two great men had ascended to the upper realm.
There are also reports that the two had already passed away.
Fifty years after the two left, the Eastern Saint Continent was suddenly invaded by the outer demons.
Many top sects united to resist, but they were still unable to resist.
As the leading sect in the Eastern Saint Continent, the Thunder Fire Sect also became the target of the outer demons.
Just when the great elder led all the cultivators and could not resist.
Tianlei Shangren and Huoyun Shangren finally appeared. The two fought against the two great demon leaders and died together.
And this great elder led many disciples in the sect to resist the remaining demons with the help of the sect formation.
In the end, in a tragic victory, the demons were driven away.
However, these demons did not know what means they used. When they left, they actually hid the location of the Thunder Fire Sect in a space crack.
Many disciples were caught off guard and were directly sucked into the space crack and lost their lives.
Finally, the elders led the remaining disciples to retreat to the Elder Mountain in the sect.
What made the elders and disciples of Leihuo Sect despair was that there was no spiritual energy in this space crack.
All the cultivators could no longer improve their cultivation.
After exhausting all methods to get Leihuo Sect out of the space crack, the elder and others could only watch the disciples slowly die of old age in front of them.
Until the elder who had also entered the late Yuanying stage also ran out of life.
Looking at this long picture and text record, Chu Ning couldn't help but sigh.
He could imagine that the people in this sect were in that space crack.
There was no spiritual energy, no hope, no light...
What despair that was.
He also understood why he saw such a gray and desolate scene in the ruins before.
Chu Ning also understood at this moment why these things could be recorded simply with words.
And why did this cultivator who was once in the late Yuanying stage use his spiritual consciousness to create these murals.
Perhaps he was also using this to pass the long years.
"According to the mural of this great elder, the ruins of the Leihuo Sect should be in the space crack.
But why did it appear in the range of the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands as a small world?"
Chu Ning's face showed a thoughtful look.
"Could it be that I am in a space crack now?"
Thinking of this, Chu Ning couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He clearly remembered the terrifying space crack drawn by the great elder of the Leihuo Sect in the mural.
Ordinary cultivators would be swallowed directly if they touched it.
"No!"
Chu Ning quickly reacted.
"According to what this person drew, the space crack where the Leihuo Sect is located has no spiritual energy.
But whether I came here last time or now, I can feel the spiritual energy."
After a little thought, Chu Ning quickly made a rough guess.
That is, the ruins of the Leihuo Sect were squeezed out of the East Saint Continent by the space crack after a long time.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning couldn't help but sigh again.
Unfortunately, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator can live for more than a thousand years, his life span is still limited.
At this moment, Chu Ning once again looked at these pictures and texts.
Among them, the content about the rise of the Thunder Fire Sect in the front is mostly text.
And the content after the invasion of the extraterritorial demons in the back is obviously more pictures.
What surprised Chu Ning was that except for some occasional monsters, these so-called extraterrestrial demons were all the same as humans.
Except for the clothing that can be seen as different from this world at a glance, the rest is no different from the monks here.
"In that case, why is it called a demon? Could it be that he is actually a monk from other realms or even the upper realm?"
Chu Ning's eyes flashed. He had traveled through time himself, so he naturally knew that there were other interfaces.
However, all this is just his guess and there is no answer.
I simply stopped thinking about it at this moment.
His spiritual consciousness continued to scan the patterns on these walls. Chu Ning was very curious about how to use his spiritual consciousness to carve these murals so vividly.
As Chu Ning sank his consciousness and mind into these murals again.
It’s no longer just about watching the content.
Instead, he tried to penetrate these text murals with his spiritual consciousness and carefully feel the principles of these murals.
Chu Ning was surprised to find that the words and murals seemed to be transformed into bits of golden light and directly transmitted into his mind through his spiritual consciousness.
"this……"
Chu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked intently again.
But he saw that the mural he had just experienced was completely revealed at this time, and he could see it without using his spiritual consciousness.
At the same time, Chu Ning discovered that there seemed to be some more light spots in his sea of consciousness.
Chu Ning, who was greatly surprised, immediately felt the next painting with his spiritual consciousness, and also tried to penetrate it with his spiritual consciousness.
What’s just as magical as the scene just now.
These words and murals also turned into golden light and poured into Chu Ning's sea of consciousness.
Then, the words and murals can be seen directly without the need for spiritual induction.
One after another, Chu Ning followed the same method and penetrated and sensed all the words and murals with his spiritual consciousness.
At this time, all the golden light in the sea of consciousness gathered together.
The next moment, the divine consciousness liquid in Chu Ning's sea of consciousness converged.
Suddenly, Chu Ning felt a warmth emanating from the sea of consciousness.
Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt that his consciousness had grown stronger.
This continued for as long as a stick of incense, and Chu Ning finally felt that the warmth in the sea of consciousness subsided.
But the golden light had all been integrated into Chu Ning's consciousness fluid.
"My current spiritual consciousness is much stronger than before. Unfortunately, there are restrictions here, so I cannot fully release my spiritual consciousness.
Otherwise, I can have a clearer feeling, but I have a feeling that the range of my spiritual consciousness must have exceeded the range of a thousand feet. "
Chu Ning's heart moved and she immediately checked the proficiency in her mind.
[Yanhuo Shenmu Kung (high grade Xuan level), third level (603/20000)]
[Jiuyan Body Refining Technique, Volume 1, Immortal Soul (1500/3000)]
[Alchemy, third level (6602/8000)]
Seeing this, Chu Ning's mouth suddenly opened slightly.
"500 points!"
He remembered clearly that before going to Thousand Fantasy Island, his proficiency in divine refining was 6102.
During this period of time, he did not practice and improve his divine skills at all.
But in this short period of time, his divine refining skills actually increased by 500 points!
Chu Ning's eyes flashed with joy.
"The growth of spiritual consciousness may be much better than I imagined."
Because Chu Ning knew that improving his spiritual consciousness through other methods would also increase his proficiency in divine refining techniques.
But it is different from simply practicing divine arts to increase your proficiency.
To be precise, the degree of expansion of this spiritual consciousness is much stronger than the proficiency in divine refining.
He had experience with this before.
When Chu Ning was building the foundation, the distance of his spiritual consciousness increased a lot.
But the proficiency reflected in the magic of refining is only over a hundred points.
And now the proficiency improvement reflected in the divine refining technique is as much as 500 points!
According to Chu Ning's inference, the growth of his spiritual consciousness must be very impressive.
Even the thin old man in black robe might not be inferior.
"After a big loss in the previous wave, we finally made up for it a little bit."
A smile appeared on Chu Ning's face.
You must know that when he was chased before, he was seriously injured and consumed three Little Tianyuan Pills.
He also lost two extremely lethal Thunder Beads and a carefully refined mid-stage foundation-building strength puppet.
As for those talismans and the like, they were automatically ignored.
Now being able to usher in a wave of rapid improvement in spiritual consciousness finally made Chu Ning feel a lot better.
His consciousness sensed the wall of the stone chamber again, and he made sure that nothing unusual was found.
Chu Ning's consciousness swept around the stone room and finally landed on the skeleton.
Under the influence of his spiritual consciousness, he noticed two things.
The same thing is the crystal-clear sternum on the chest.
The other one is a simple jade plaque.
On both sides of the jade tablet were carved patterns of a bird-shaped monster similar to a phoenix and a monster similar to a cow's body.
Chu Ning looked at the jade token, his eyes flashed, and he reached out and took out another jade token from the storage.
It was the token that was obtained from the opponent's storage bag after killing several members of the Song family in the ancient cave of reincarnation.
The two jade tokens turned out to be exactly the same.
There are only slight differences in the small patterns.
"If the jade token is the identity token of this great elder, then the one on me might be the identity token of another elder.
I just don't know why it has been lost to the outside world."
This thought flashed through his mind, and Chu Ning scanned it again with his spiritual sense, but did not find any other abnormalities.
He slowly came to the front of the stone bed.
"Junior is rude!"
Chu Ning bowed to the skeleton and then waved at it.
He used the object-driving technique to grab the jade token directly in his hand.
After hesitating for a while, Chu Ning stretched out his hand again and tried to take the crystal-like sternum on the other's chest.
What surprised Chu Ning was that the sternum was also easily grabbed by him.
The entire skeleton was scattered on the stone bed.
It looked like the skeleton just now was completely supported by this sternum.
Chu Ning was looking at this scene, but the crystal-like sternum in front of him suddenly trembled.
Before Chu Ning could react.
The next moment, the sternum actually broke free from his hand.
Then it shot towards his chest.
