Chapter 266: Crossing the Spiritual Mist
"Fellow Daoist Chu, how did you find out?"
Jia Yumin asked Chu Ning in surprise.
"I just saw it with my own eyes."
Chu Ning did not hide anything, and told him about the fact that he was hiding in the dark and observed the two Tianji Alliance people entering the white mist.
Jia Yumin and Shi Xuerong were a little surprised when they heard that Chu Ning was hiding under the eyes of two middle-stage Jindan monks.
However, they also knew that this matter must involve the secret of Chu Ning's cultivation, so they did not ask any more questions.
Yuan Zhuo, on the other hand, knew that Chu Ning had many mysterious powers, so he didn't find it too strange.
Immediately, the focus of several people fell on the space crack above the white mist.
Jia Yumin's face was solemn at this moment.
"I didn't expect that there is a space crack here. Not to mention the Golden Core cultivator, even the Nascent Soul monk has no ability to resist at all when encountering the space crack."
Yuan Zhuo nodded at this moment and said:
"If it were an obvious ordinary space crack, everyone would still be able to enter.
If it is a hidden space crack, there is almost no possibility. "
When Chu Ning heard this, she was slightly stunned and asked Yuan Zhuo:
"Senior Brother Yuan, what you mean by explicit space cracks and hidden space cracks..."
He had formed an elixir not long ago, and he really knew very little about such things.
Yuan Zhuo explained at this moment:
“Most of the space cracks cannot be seen directly with the naked eye, but the monks’ spiritual exploration can detect some space cracks.
This kind of space crack is called an explicit space crack.
If even spiritual consciousness cannot detect it, it is called a hidden space crack.
This kind of thing cannot be discovered unless you have some special magical powers and secrets. "
When Chu Ning heard this, she finally understood.
Looking at the expressions of Jia Yumin and Shi Xuerong, they seemed to have no doubts about this, and they had obviously known about it for a long time.
At this time, Yuan Zhuo continued:
“However, even if there are visible space cracks, most of them can only be sensed by spiritual consciousness when they are close to them.
With the spiritual consciousness of a Jindan monk, the range that can be sensed is probably between ten and twenty feet. "
Chu Ning nodded and said suddenly:
"No wonder I just used my spiritual sense to explore it, but I didn't find anything."
Chu Ning's current consciousness is enough to reach a distance of 500 feet, so he can easily explore the peak.
Just now, his consciousness could not sense any abnormality in the white mist.
"It seems that it is necessary to go up and explore." Yuan Zhuo looked towards the top of the mountain at this moment.
At this moment, Shi Xuerong exclaimed:
"Look!"
Chu Ning and others followed her words and saw a figure flying away among the Tianji Alliance people.
He was a later Jindan cultivator from the Tianji Alliance.
Obviously, after learning that there was a space crack, this person had the same thoughts as Yuan Zhuo and was ready to go up and take a look.
Therefore, everyone was not in a hurry to do anything at this moment, and all looked at this person one after another.
Even the people from the Demon Alliance are like this.
This late-stage Jindan cultivator from the Tianji Alliance was obviously more cautious than the female cultivator surnamed Liao and the short-haired man.
Flying to the white mist on the top of the mountain, he was not in a hurry to fly in.
Instead, it flew around the white fog for about a hundred feet, seeming to be exploring something.
Then, he found a spot in the middle and flew in.
"It seems that what's inside is an explicit space crack."
When Yuan Zhuo saw this, his eyes flashed slightly, then turned to Jia Yumin and said:
"Fellow Daoist Jia, let's observe for a while. If people from the Extreme Alliance and the Demonic Alliance fly in one day, it won't be too late for us to go.
What do you think?"
Jia Qiaoyu nodded: "It's just right, let's be careful."
So next, the four of them chatted occasionally while observing the movements of the other two major forces.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Ning used his spiritual consciousness to transmit sounds and said to Yuan Zhuo:
"Senior Brother Yuan, I accidentally saw Ao Langtian from the Daluo Sect walking together with a late-stage Jindan monk named Zou from the Black Cloud Sect.
It seems that the two of them are quite familiar with each other, but they don't know why. "
Although I don’t know what the specific collusion between Ao Langtian and the Black Cloud Sect is.
But Chu Ning felt that it was still necessary to remind him.
Now he, the Jiuhua Sect and even the Yunxiao Alliance are both prospering and losing.
If the other party really has any conspiracy against the Yunxiao Alliance, they must be more careful.
"Ao Langtian is with the people from the Black Cloud Sect?" Yuan Zhuo was obviously shocked when he heard Chu Ning's words.
Chu Ning nodded lightly, and then gave a rough description of the appearance of the skinny old man named Zou.
After hearing this, Yuan Zhuo immediately said: "That is Zou Qitang, the great protector of the Black Cloud Sect.
It's better to talk to fellow Daoist Jia about this matter. "
Chu Ning naturally agreed with this, as the Guiyuan Sect was the strongest sect in the Yunxiao Alliance.
Entering the spiritual realm this time, the leader of the Yunxiao Alliance is He Feng, one of the two late-stage Jindan cultivators of the Guiyuan Sect.
This person's cultivation level is slightly weaker than that of Yu Changge and Jiang Cheng, but he specializes in metal-based techniques and is famous for his attack power.
His reputation within this alliance is no lower than that of Yu Changge and Jiang Cheng.
Jia Yuqiao was also shocked when she heard what Yuan Zhuo and Chu Ning said.
I was busy asking for more details.
Chu Ning only said that he saw the two people from a distance and used secret methods to hide them. He did not know the specific process of the two people's contact.
However, despite this, Jia Yuqiao also looked serious at this moment.
"I will report this matter to Senior Brother He when I see him.
The Demonic Alliance has many conspiracies and tricks, so we really need to be more careful. "
While several people were talking, monks from the three alliances came over one after another.
It’s hard for a few people to continue talking about this topic.
After a while, more than thirty people had gathered here.
Even the Jiuhua Sect has people number seven or eight.
On that day, more than ten people from the Ji League had gathered.
At this time, it had not been a short time since the Jindan late-stage monks from the Ji Alliance entered the white mist.
That day in the Extreme Alliance, after everyone looked at each other, another late-stage Jindan monk flew up and flew towards the white mist on the top of the mountain.
This time, the rest of the Tianji League monks did not wait any longer, but more than ten people quickly followed the late Jindan monk.
On the other side, the monks from the Demonic Alliance, also led by a late-stage Jindan monk, flew towards the other side.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhuo glanced at the seven people including Chu Ning.
"It seems that the space crack here is indeed an explicit space crack, let's go.
I will use my spiritual sense to investigate carefully later. Fellow Taoists, please follow closely.
But the cracks in this space sometimes change, so everyone must also use their spiritual senses and pay attention. "
After saying that, Yuan Zhuo took the lead in flying up, followed by Chu Ning and others.
Among the eight people, they also vaguely flew into two groups.
The four of Chu Ning were in front, and there were two monks from the sect gathered behind.
Among them, there is also a late-stage Jindan monk.
Yuan Zhuo and Jia Yumin lined up at the front, while Chu Ning and teacher Rong Xue each followed their own disciples.
Everyone flew to the top of the mountain in front of the white mist. At this moment, Chu Ning also had a deeper feeling.
"I was right when I sensed it just now. This white mist is actually formed by rich spiritual energy.
The richness of this spiritual energy is really astonishing, to the point where it can obscure our sight. "
While feeling emotional, Chu Ning quickly released his spiritual consciousness and sensed forward.
Then his heart trembled slightly.
"Space crack!"
However, within the sensing range of his spiritual consciousness, about fourteen to five feet ahead, there was an invisible crack at the moment.
Like the huge mouth of a monster, it selects people and devours them.
As soon as the spiritual consciousness comes into contact, it seems to be swallowed directly.
This was the first time for Chu Ning to come into contact with a space crack, and she couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Yuan Zhuo obviously felt it at this moment, and said in a deep voice:
"There is a space crack here. Let's go a little further to look for it."
As soon as Yuan Zhuo said this, among the crowd, only the late-stage Jindan cultivator behind showed an expression of approval, while the rest, including Jia Yumin, were a little confused.
Obviously, the consciousness of these people was not enough to allow them to see clearly the crack in space more than ten feet away.
Yuan Zhuo immediately started exploring along the periphery of the white mist.
After walking more than thirty feet in this direction to the west, Yuan Zhuo began to lead everyone into the white mist.
Vision is blocked and consciousness is limited.
As soon as they entered the white mist, everyone couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for a moment.
Feeling the restlessness among everyone, Yuan Zhuo quickly said:
"Fellow Taoists, please don't panic. There are many cracks in the space here, and they are distributed extremely irregularly. Everyone should be alert."
When Yuan Zhuo said this, Chu Ning's consciousness also scanned the surroundings, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.
Within twenty feet of these people, there were three space cracks.
Moreover, the distance between the two space cracks in front is only four feet for everyone to pass.
Yuan Zhuo also explained the general situation at this moment, and everyone immediately cheered up and followed Yuan Zhuo to fly forward slowly.
Chu Ning was also feeling slightly emotional at this time.
"The guy with the short hair looks like he is really unlucky.
His psychic bird must have flown several hundred feet, but it didn't even hit the space crack.
If the psychic bird never came back, he must have known the danger. "
But then I thought about it, and realized that the other party was still too careless. If the psychic bird was allowed to fly forward, or even fly over the mountain range, it was very likely that it would be able to discover something.
Although there are many space cracks here, people can still avoid them safely with the help of the spiritual consciousness of the two late-stage Jindan monks when everyone is flying extremely slowly.
Moving forward cautiously like this is about two hundred feet away.
There are more and more space cracks, and there is even one place where Yuan Zhuo found no space cracks.
But just as everyone was about to pass, a spatial crack suddenly appeared three feet away.
Even Yuan Zhuo broke into a cold sweat and immediately avoided and took a detour.
Realizing that these space cracks were not stable, and new space cracks appeared from time to time, everyone felt a big headache.
They just fired their bows without turning back, and now everyone was already deep in the white mist.
Even if we go back, it's too late, so we can only continue to move forward slowly and carefully.
In this way, they moved forward less than a hundred feet.
"careful!"
At this moment, the late-stage Jindan monk among the four people behind suddenly spoke out.
Chu Ning was also moved at this moment.
"ah!"
Then, a scream suddenly sounded.
Chu Ning and others quickly turned their heads and saw that behind them, where they had just passed, a small space crack of less than two feet appeared.
And a Qianqiao Pavilion Jindan cultivator who fell behind was unable to dodge and was swallowed by the space crack.
For a moment, everyone's heart sank.
Chu Ning was silent at this moment, and his heart was more and more alert.
"This space crack appeared really fast. My spiritual sense just sensed it, and then it appeared.
The reaction time left for me was not even a breath."
Yuan Zhuo sighed at this moment:
"Let's go, everyone be careful, and use your spiritual sense to sense the changes around you as much as possible.
I can only sense the space cracks that have appeared. If a new crack suddenly appears, even I will not have time to remind it."
When saying this, Yuan Zhuo looked at Chu Ning.
Obviously, this was also intended for Chu Ning to hear.
Chu Ning nodded to the other party, indicating that he would be careful.
The crowd then continued to fly forward slowly.
As they went deeper and deeper, the space cracks became more and more numerous, and the speed of the crowd also slowed down.
It took a lot of time to fly forward less than two or three hundred feet.
And the white fog could not be seen at a glance.
"There are more and more space cracks, and I don't know how far ahead it is."
Chu Ning just had this thought in his mind.
The next moment, his consciousness suddenly sensed something.
"There is a space crack!"
With a slight chill in his heart, Chu Ning flew to the side and back.
Because Shi Xuerong was blocking him on the side, Chu Ning subconsciously grabbed her and flew away.
Just the next moment after the two flew away.
At the place where the two stood before, the space fluctuated and returned to normal.
But the consciousness of the cultivators could clearly feel that there was a huge space crack in it.
This crack even exceeded all the cracks they had seen before.
At this moment, Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong were separated from the rest of the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhuo and Jia Yumin both changed their expressions.
Shi Xuerong thought of the scene just now and couldn't help but look pale.
"Junior Brother Chu, are you okay?"
Yuan Zhuo didn't dare to approach at this moment, and could only shout to ask.
"I'm fine!"
Chu Ning responded, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
"However, this space crack is too big. If we want to go around it, it will be difficult."
The other people also discovered this.
With the appearance of this space crack that was so big that we couldn't see the end at a glance, the remaining seven people were forced to split into three groups.
Yuan Zhuo and Jia Yumin, Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong, and the other late Jindan cultivator were three people.
Yuan Zhuo frowned slightly and said:
"Let's try to go in the same direction first, and see if we can go around this crack and meet up in the end."
"That's the only way!" Chu Ning nodded.
Jia Yumin said at this moment:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, your spiritual sense is strong, please take care of Junior Sister a little more."
At the critical moment just now, even Jia Yumin didn't notice the appearance of the space crack.
But Chu Ning was able to take Shi Xuerong away.
Jia Yumin could not help guessing that Chu Ning's spiritual consciousness might be stronger than hers.
Although she was surprised that Chu Ning, a newly promoted Jindan cultivator, had such a strong spiritual consciousness.
But when she thought that Shi Xuerong was still with the other party, Jia Yumin was relieved.
Chu Ning heard this and remembered that he was still holding Shi Xuerong's jade hand, so he let it go immediately.
Then he said to Jia Yumin:
"I'll do my best!"
Chu Ning sighed secretly in his heart.
There are so many space cracks here, even if his spiritual consciousness is strong.
It is inevitable that there will be negligence.
Self-protection is already the limit, and it is hard to say how much he can help Shi Xuerong.
Immediately, three waves of people began to fly forward in different directions.
Chu Ning completely released his spiritual consciousness and sensed the situation around him.
Then he carefully led Shi Xuerong forward. After only twenty feet, he found another space crack and had to change direction to avoid it again.
"Fellow Daoist Chu!" At this time, Shi Xuerong, who was following him, suddenly spoke.
Chu Ning turned his head when he heard the other party calling him.
Shi Xuerong's face flashed a trace of embarrassment, and then turned to look at Chu Ning calmly.
"Can you lead me? I'm worried that another space crack will suddenly appear later, and I can't avoid it."
As she spoke, Shi Xuerong took the initiative to raise her jade hand and handed it to Chu Ning.
Chu Ning's eyes turned from the other party's stunning face to the jade hand that had been handed to him.
He didn't act too hypocritical, and his palm directly grasped the other party's forearm.
Just now, Chu Ning grabbed the other party in a hurry and didn't care too much.
At this moment, holding the other party's jade arm, through the thin robe, he could feel the delicate skin of the other party.
Even though Chu Ning had extraordinary self-control, he couldn't help but feel a little strange at this moment.
But he immediately gathered his mind and carefully used his spiritual sense to detect the existence of the space crack.
Shi Xuerong, who was being led forward by him, saw that Chu Ning did not grab her palm, but held her arm.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Chu Ning turned around and walked forward, a blush inevitably flashed across her pretty face.
But it soon returned to normal.
He also let go of his spiritual consciousness and carefully explored it.
After all, Shi Xuerong is also a golden elixir cultivator, so he naturally knows that in a place like this, he cannot completely trust his life to others.
It's just that Chu Ning was able to detect the upcoming space crack in advance.
Such a strong sense of consciousness did give her a sense of security.
The two of them moved forward slowly.
The initial idea was naturally to continue to find Yuan Zhuo and others to join up, but when they actually started walking, they couldn't do it.
The spatial cracks scattered everywhere forced Chu Ning and Chu Ning to constantly change their direction.
Naturally, it is far away from the original goal.
After walking a few hundred feet, they had already deviated from the direction of Yuan Zhuo and others.
The two of them could only identify the direction of progress based on the intensity of the spiritual energy.
In the middle of the journey, there was another space crack that suddenly appeared like before.
Because Chu Ning had been paying attention, and holding the arm of the master Xuerong, he also led the other person to hide away.
This also made Shi Xuerong, who was not able to discover the space crack in the first place, just grateful for his choice just now.
The two of them kept changing directions, and after walking around three to four thousand feet, their eyes suddenly became brighter.
But at this time, it had penetrated the white mist of spiritual energy and reached the sky above the depression.
