Chapter 338 Mysterious Ice Flame, Boundless Sea, Taixu Palace
At this moment, Chu Ning's eyes were focused on a strange flower.
This flower was the size of a bowl, with ice blue and fiery red petals alternating. The petals flickered and jumped from time to time like flames, which looked extremely strange.
And the power emanating from it was felt by Chu Ning even though he was so far away.
"The black ice flame condensed by the power of ice and fire is indeed a treasure, belonging to the spiritual fire of heaven and earth."
The giant turtle's slow voice sounded.
"If it can be refined, its power is amazing.
You can just look at this thing. Not to mention the Jindan cultivator, even ordinary Yuanying early cultivators will die if they touch it."
Chu Ning's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at it, and then, the magic power surged on his fingertips, and a ball of red with a little dark purple flame appeared.
"Senior Turtle, if you have this thing, is there any hope of obtaining the black ice flame?"
"Huh, the earth vein fire?"
There was a hint of surprise in the giant turtle's voice at this moment.
"The Mysterious Ice Flame is the spiritual fire of heaven and earth. It is impossible to absorb and refine it directly with mana unless you have advanced mana above the late stage of the Nascent Soul.
If other cultivators want to absorb and refine it, the power of ice and fire is the best.
But if you have strong ice or fire power, it is indeed possible.
You have the earth vein fire, you can try to absorb this mysterious ice flame, as for whether you can refine it in the future, it depends on your ability."
Chu Ning nodded, he was planning to do so at the moment.
Immediately, he tapped his hands.
The earth vein fire flew out and slowly approached the mysterious ice flame.
As the earth vein fire approached, the mysterious ice flame seemed to be aware of it, and the ice and fire power on it suddenly burst out.
The power of it almost extinguished the condensed earth vein fire instantly.
However, the earth vein fire is worthy of being one of the spiritual fires of heaven and earth. Although it fluctuated slightly, it soon stabilized again.
At this time, Chu Ning drove the Earth Vein Essence Fire to change and wrap it towards the Black Ice Flame.
As soon as it came into contact, Chu Ning felt the powerful force of extreme cold and extreme heat rushing towards him.
Although it only acted on the Earth Vein Essence Fire, Chu Ning could clearly feel it because he had refined the Earth Vein Essence Fire.
Chu Ning was also very sure that if this force acted on him, he would be destroyed in an instant.
With a flick of his fingertips, he drove out another ball of Earth Vein Essence Fire.
After five consecutive times, only the last bit of fire was left in Chu Ning's Earth Vein Essence Fire, and the rest of the essence fire had been used up.
And until this moment, the Earth Vein Essence Fire really wrapped the Black Ice Flame.
But Chu Ning could also feel that the violent force in the middle seemed to be able to break through the Earth Vein Essence Fire and freeze and burn everything at any time.
Carefully driving the Earth Vein Essence Fire, he took the Black Ice Flame not far away.
Chu Ning's face was solemn, but he couldn't take it away directly now.
It is also necessary to seal the black ice flame just like he did when he took the earth vein fire.
If there is no earth vein fire, Chu Ning would not dare to think of doing this.
His mana will be destroyed as soon as it touches the black ice flame.
Now that he is wrapped in the earth vein fire, Chu Ning dares to take action.
Driven by the Five Elements Chaos Art, Chu Ning formed a series of hand seals, and mana flowed out from his fingertips and fell on the earth vein fire.
As if sensing something strange, the black ice flame began to emit power again.
A trace of ice and fire power almost came out through the earth vein fire.
Seeing this, Chu Ning immediately increased his mana and used the earth vein fire to forcibly resist the power on it.
The mana in his body was also consumed rapidly. In just a few breaths, Chu Ning felt that his mana was consumed by more than 70%.
He immediately took out a drop of thousand-year-old spiritual milk from the storage bag and drank it.
Then, Chu Ning's face changed slightly.
"The power of this black ice flame is too great. With my current strong mana, my mana is consumed so quickly.
Moreover, even if the thousand-year spiritual milk replenishes mana so quickly, it can't keep up with the speed of consumption."
While thinking, Chu Ning quickly took out another jade bottle. It was the ten-thousand-year spiritual milk he had just obtained at the bottom of the Shenquan Pond not long ago!
Poured a drop of spiritual milk from it and took it into his mouth.
Suddenly, a strong spiritual power was replenished, and Chu Ning felt that his mana was restored to its peak almost instantly.
"It is worthy of being the ten-thousand-year spiritual milk. This effect is really strong!"
A gleam of light flashed in Chu Ning's eyes.
With this treasure in hand, he had nothing to worry about.
The mana continuously turned into a series of magic seals and fell on the black ice flame wrapped in the earth vein fire.
The ice and fire power on the black ice flame began to gradually stabilize.
And the whole flame began to shrink gradually.
After Chu Ning took the third drop of the ten thousand year spirit milk, he really breathed a sigh of relief and stopped casting spells.
He looked at the earth vein fire that had shrunk several circles in front of him, and carefully controlled it to return to his body.
He did not dare to withdraw the fire completely at once, but took it back little by little as he had taken it before.
At the same time, he felt the changes in the black ice flame inside.
Feeling that the black ice flame inside was always extremely stable and there was no sign of any explosion, Chu Ning was really relieved at this moment.
After taking the last wisp of the earth vein fire back into his body, there was a red and blue ice flower in front of Chu Ning.
It looks almost the same as the previous black ice flame, but only one-tenth the size.
And at this moment, no trace of ice and fire power can be felt on it.
"Finally, the seal is successful!"
Chu Ning looked at the blue and red ice flowers in front of him and exhaled lightly.
The voice of the giant turtle rang again at this moment.
"There should be ice and fire spirit jade near the black ice flame, which should be good for storing your black ice flame."
Hearing this, Chu Ning looked over.
Sure enough, next to the place where the black ice flame was originally located, there was a piece of transparent jade.
I think it is the ice and fire spirit jade in the mouth of the giant turtle.
Chu Ning opened his mouth and sprayed out the fire spirit sword, driving the magic weapon flying sword to dig out the jade.
The spirit jade is one foot square.
At first glance, it looks transparent and colorless, but if you look closely, you can vaguely see that there seems to be red and blue inside, which is very strange.
Chu Ning cut off a small piece of the jade and put the rest into the storage bag.
Then he made a jade box of the right size with the cut spiritual jade, and then put the black ice flame in front of him.
Then he took another drop of thousand-year spiritual milk, while recovering his magic power, he set foot on the narrow path.
Although the thousand-year spiritual milk is good, Chu Ning is not willing to use it unless it is to recover his magic power in an emergency.
Suddenly entering this hot environment from the icy land, others may feel very uncomfortable.
However, this ice and fire silk armor is indeed very magical, and Chu Ning felt a coolness in an instant.
Just a little bit of magic power, Chu Ning walked forward with confidence.
"Red Flame Golden Lotus!"
"Scorching Sun Grass!"
"Fire Crystal!"
...
Along the way, Chu Ning gave out surprises from time to time.
And all these natural treasures were collected by Chu Ning.
After walking for a long time, Chu Ning walked out of the narrow path and found himself in front of a stone wall.
And on this stone wall, there is a stone door with a faint prohibition fluctuation on it.
Chu Ning stopped immediately.
"Senior Turtle, what is behind this door?"
"The entrance to the inner hall of Taixu Palace." The giant turtle's voice came slowly.
"Under normal circumstances, there should be no one inside at this time.
But you have spent a lot of time to find treasures along the way. Others only entered half an hour later than you, but it is very likely that some people have arrived at this moment."
After saying that, the giant turtle paused slightly.
"But it doesn't matter whether you arrive early or late. This inner hall will not open immediately. It should take less than half a day for the inner hall to open. By then, everyone who can come should have arrived."
Hearing the giant turtle's words, Chu Ning hesitated slightly.
This means that if you enter this door, you will meet other cultivators.
And those are all Yuanying cultivators.
After thinking about it, Chu Ning said:
"Senior Turtle, I have gained a lot from this trip. It doesn't matter if I don't go to the inner hall of Taixu Palace.
But I don't know if there are other exits in Taixu Abyss that can be directly left."
"Then return the same way." The giant turtle said slowly.
"But you don't have much time left. When the inner hall of Taixuyuan is opened, the passage outside is closed. You can only go out through the inner hall of Taixuyuan.
Other Jindan cultivators, if they want to go out, should go out at this time."
Chu Ning was silent for a while after listening.
"Senior Turtle, why didn't you tell me before?"
"You didn't ask?" The giant turtle said slowly.
"You kept asking me where to go, and I thought you were going to this inner hall to get the spiritual treasure."
After listening, Chu Ning asked curiously: "Spiritual treasure? Is it an ancient treasure? What ancient treasure is in this inner hall?"
"Ancient treasure? No! Ancient treasures are ancient treasures, and spiritual treasures are spiritual treasures.
There are many ancient treasures refined by ancient cultivators, but there may be no more than ten that can be called spiritual treasures.
The Taixu Sect had one in the past, called Xuanxiao Mirror, but I don't know if it is in this inner hall."
After listening to the giant turtle, Chu Ning couldn't help but look at the stone door in front of him.
He had already seen the power of the ancient treasure.
The power of the ancient short sword was so great that even an eighth-level demon beast could not withstand it.
And this was driven by himself as a Jindan cultivator.
If driven by a Yuanying cultivator, it would surely be able to exert its true power.
And according to the giant turtle, the power of this spiritual treasure is even greater than that of the ancient treasure, which is really shocking.
It is impossible to say that Chu Ning was not tempted at all.
Looking back at the way he came, if he wanted to return to the original path, even with Bai Ling's help, it seemed that he would not be able to get back to the entrance in half a day.
Chu Ning said in a deep voice: "Senior Turtle, if there are Yuanying cultivators attacking later, I hope you can protect me."
"Don't worry, they are unlikely to attack you in this Taixu Abyss.
As long as you don't take the initiative to compete with them when the treasures are revealed in the inner hall, their energy will not be on you.
As for leaving Taixu Abyss..."
The giant turtle paused, and then continued:
"It's a bit difficult for me to take action directly. Even if I take action, I can only do it once or twice.
Didn't you pick up my turtle shell?
If there is a Yuanying cultivator attacking, take it out to resist and save your life."
Chu Ning's heart moved at this moment, and he asked directly:
"Senior Turtle, I was just about to ask you, you said before that you want to leave this Beihan land, I don't know if there is any way?"
"Method? You can just cross the boundless sea." The giant turtle looked unconcerned.
After hearing this, Chu Ning frowned slightly.
"Through the Boundless Sea? Senior Turtle, how was the Boundless Sea formed? Can you fly? Is there any danger?"
"Of course there are dangers, but they are in the depths of the Boundless Sea. Old Turtle, I have been wandering in the Boundless Sea before, and no one will pay attention to you when you fly from the sky.
The reason why there are so few monks flying away is because there is not enough spiritual energy on the boundless sea, and ordinary monks' magic power cannot support such a long distance flight.
But don’t you have spiritual milk in your hand? "
Chu Ning's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this. It seemed that this giant turtle knew the boundless sea very well.
When even asked:
"Senior Turtle, where does this boundless sea of Beihan connect to? If I escape directly, which direction will I go to?"
"The North Cold Boundless Sea seems to be connected to the Eastern Holy Continent. Old Turtle, I have swam there in the early years. You should find the right direction and fly south. With your speed, half a year should be enough."
"Eastern Saint Continent!" After hearing this, Chu Ning felt much relieved.
It would take more than a day or two for him to leave Beihan.
What Chu Ning wants most is to return to Jiuhua Sect and practice peacefully.
However, we can’t reach the Ximeng Continent directly, so it’s not bad to go to the Eastern Holy Continent.
At least he had stayed in that place before, and if the teleportation array leading to the Ximeng Continent among the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands was still there.
You can also go to the Ximeng Continent.
What I have to worry about now is when I first left Taixu Abyss, and then when I crossed the boundless ocean.
However, the giant turtle promised that he could take action once or twice.
Although there are some risks, it does not seem to be a desperate situation.
With this thought in mind, Chu Ning asked the giant turtle about the inner palace.
Then his eyes fell on the stone wall restriction in front of him again.
He immediately called out:
"Bai Ling, go in!"
After Chu Ning finished speaking, Bai Ling emerged from Chu Ning's sleeves and directly used his magical talent to lead Chu Ning through the stone wall.
After passing through the restriction, Chu Ning found himself suddenly in a winding passage.
Thinking that he would meet those Yuanying monks soon, Chu Ning asked Bai Ling to return to the spirit beast bag.
After releasing his spiritual consciousness for a while, he walked forward along the curved passage.
After walking like this for a while, Chu Ning's figure appeared in an open space, but it was a hall with a size of three hundred feet.
At this moment, there are more than twenty monks in the hall.
Qu Laomo, the master of the Phantom Sect, Qiu Qijun, the great elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and other Nascent Soul cultivators were all present.
A few golden elixir monks including Tantai Song and Li Bailin were also among them.
However, a few people from Changkong Hall were not there.
As soon as Chu Ning appeared, everyone looked over with surprise and suspicion in their eyes.
Obviously, no one expected that Chu Ning would appear here.
Immediately, many people looked deeply at Chu Ning.
Chu Ning naturally saw everyone's eyes. Although he was prepared in his heart, but being stared at by so many Nascent Soul cultivators, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
However, his expression was unusually calm, and he looked at it for a moment.
But he also vaguely saw some tricks.
As expected, Qu Laomo and the Phantom Sect have formed an alliance, and they all stay together.
In addition, Li Xiao and Li Bailin from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect are also in this camp.
There are also several sect monks in Haiyun Basin and several overseas demonic cultivators.
On the other side are the remaining sects in Hanyan Continent, and the number of people in this camp is obviously much smaller.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators all had serious faces and looked toward the entrance from time to time.
It seems that he is waiting for someone to arrive.
Chu Ning just thought about it for a moment and knew that the other party should be Lu Xuedao and the monks from Shenyin Valley.
In addition, there were four Yuanying monks sitting far away.
They are either small sects or casual cultivators, looking like they are not participating in any camp.
Among them was Qiu Qijun.
Chu Ning hesitated for a moment, then walked towards this group of people.
He did not join the Changkong Palace when he entered the abyss, so Lu Xuedao and others would definitely not give him a good look.
As for the camp of Qu Laomo and the Phantom Spirit Sect, Chu Ning had no interest in joining.
Seeing Chu Ning walking towards where Qiu Qijun and others were, everyone looked at him with a bit more strange eyes.
Just because the other four are all Yuanying monks who have been famous in Beihan for many years, although they are not necessarily very strong.
But there are some life-saving means at hand, and both camps are unwilling to cause trouble for these people.
They chose neutrality, but they have their capital.
And Chu Ning is just a late-stage Jindan monk, but he dares to choose neutrality.
It actually made the expressions of the Nascent Soul cultivators on both sides look a little more playful.
Qiu Qijun was slightly surprised when he saw Chu Ning coming over. He had originally heard that Chu Ning had practiced in the Fairy City in Iceland before, and thought he had joined the Changkong Palace camp.
But when Chu Ning stepped forward, he still said with a smile:
"I haven't seen Daoist friend Chu all this time. I thought you had left Taixu Abyss.
I never expected that my little friend would actually want to enter the inner hall of Taixu Abyss. "
Qiu Qijun still looked like a good old man, and didn't seem to mind Chu Ning's status as a golden elixir monk at all.
Chu Ning showed a slightly confused expression at this moment.
"Go out? Can I go out directly from Taixuyuan? I thought I could only go inside Taixuyuan.
Senior Qiu, can I go out from that entrance?"
Chu Ning turned around and was about to leave.
Qiu Qijun laughed at this time.
"Don't worry, my friend. When you get back, the entrance will be closed.
After the inner hall is opened, you can also go out."
"Thank you for telling me." Chu Ning bowed slightly to Qiu Qijun, looking very grateful.
The conversation between the two naturally fell into the ears of the others. Some Yuanying cultivators were fine, and they didn't take Chu Ning too seriously.
At this moment, they heard that Chu Ning seemed to know nothing about the inner hall, so they ignored him.
And Li Bailin showed sarcasm at this moment, and said directly:
"You dare to break into the inner hall of Taixu Palace without knowing anything, ignorant!"
