Chapter 366: Secrets From Ten Thousand Years Ago

Bai Ling led Chu Ning and Cen Zijin through layers of formations and finally came to a wide area in the cave.

In front of the two was something like a sand table.

However, unlike the military sand table in the mortal world, there were formation models on it.

"The owner of this cave actually placed formation models here. No, it's not just models."

Cen Zijin looked at the sand table in surprise, and then said to Chu Ning:

"These formations seem to be real, but they are condensed and shrunk."

Chu Ning nodded slightly, looked at the entire sand table, and then condensed a ball of magic light and dropped it on a formation.

Suddenly, the formation model began to react.

I saw a sudden wind and snow on it, and a series of ice-blue cold rays pierced the light ball.

But vaguely, there was also a white light band, which seemed to tell Chu Ning and the others the correct route to walk in this formation.

Seeing this, Chu Ning controlled the magic light ball to fall on the white light band.

Sure enough, there was still wind and snow in the formation, but the ice-blue cold light would not hit the light ball again.

Seeing this scene, Chu Ning and Cen Zijin couldn't help but look at each other.

"This place can be called a masterpiece of nature!"

Chu Ning couldn't help but sigh at this moment, and Cen Zijin's eyes fell on a corner of the sand table formation, pointing and saying:

"Cloud Star Formation, that seems to be the formation we just passed through."

Chu Ning followed Cen Zijin's gaze and saw a layered formation there.

The small formations inside were intertwined and integrated layer by layer, and the structure was extremely complex.

Because the two had entered this formation before, they couldn't help but study it carefully at this moment.

Chu Ning even used his spiritual sense to directly explore it at this moment, wanting to see how mysterious this formation was.

But soon, he showed a look of surprise on his face.

When he used his spiritual sense to sense the past, he did not sense the existing formation.

Instead, he seemed to see an old man who was setting up the formation.

And what he set up was the cloud star formation that Chu Ning saw.

Attracted by this scene, Chu Ning was reluctant to leave, so he continued to use his spiritual sense to sense and write down the way this person set up the formation.

At first, Cen Zijin was the same as Chu Ning, looking at the cloud star formation in amazement.

After watching for a while, he found that Chu Ning was staring at it, completely in a state of deep thought, and it was not easy to disturb him.

But a trace of doubt flashed in his bright eyes.

"Zijin, you can sense the method of setting up this formation with your spiritual sense."

Chu Ning separated a wisp of spiritual sense at this moment and sent a voice to Chu Ning.

Hearing what Chu Ning said, Cen Zijin separated a wisp of spiritual sense and fell on the formation.

Then he quickly said with a suspicious look on his face: "I can't sense it."

"Can't sense it?"

Hearing Cen Zijin's words, Chu Ning was a little surprised.

"My consciousness is sensing the method of setting up the formation at the moment, so it should be correct."

Speaking of this, Chu Ning suddenly thought of something and immediately said:

"Don't sense the Cloud Star Formation here, sense another formation.

I suspect that this formation can only be sensed once. If you sense it later, you must remember the method of setting up the formation."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin's bright eyes flashed with a trace of curiosity. His consciousness probed out, but did not fall on the Cloud Star Formation.

It fell on another formation next to it, and then a trace of strange color flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that she also sensed the method of setting up the formation.

The two of them immediately sensed the methods of setting up different formations.

Chu Ning took the lead in sensing the method of setting up the entire Cloud Star Formation, but did not speak at the first time, but closed his eyes and thought deeply.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Chu Ning once again extended his spiritual sense and probed into the Cloud Star Formation, and there was indeed no response.

"The spiritual sense of the ancient cultivators is condensed here, so there should only be one chance to explore.

After the exploration, the condensed spiritual sense inside is consumed and invalid.

The people of the Thunder Fire Sect should want to use this method to pass on the sect's formation.

And the formation set up outside is naturally also to test those who enter this cave.

However, this test is really too difficult. If there is no Bai Ling, even if I want to really pass this formation, I am afraid it will not be possible without a few months."

After Chu Ning understood the method of setting up this formation, he had a deeper understanding.

At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

However, thinking that the practice of the formation is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it also has certain requirements for aptitude and talent, it feels normal.

Chu Ning was not in a hurry to comprehend the next formation.

After waiting for a while, Cen Zijin had also completed the induction of another formation.

Her actions were similar to Chu Ning's, she also closed her eyes and meditated.

After nearly an incense stick of time, Cen Zijin looked at Chu Ning.

"This old man's arrangement of the formation is not just about the arrangement of this formation."

"You also discovered it?"

Chu Ning nodded.

"When the old man arranged the formation, he actually integrated his understanding of the formation."

After saying that, Chu Ning glanced at the sand table.

"There are thirty-six kinds of formations here. Let's sense them first, then engrave them into the jade slips, and then go out to comprehend them separately."

"Okay!"

Cen Zijin immediately agreed after hearing this.

Then they each took out a blank jade slip and engraved the formation they had just comprehended into the jade slip.

After finishing all this, I started to understand the next formation.

In this way, one formation after another, although the two Cen Zijin were slower than Chu Ning at first, they were basically able to keep up with the rhythm.

But after all, their consciousness is not at the same level.

As time went by and more spiritual consciousness was consumed, Cen Zijin's speed obviously slowed down.

When he realized the fifth formation, Cen Zijin had to stop and recover his consciousness.

Seeing this, Chu Ning also took out a few pills and leafless flowers to Cen Zijin.

To help the other party recover their consciousness.

Cen Zijin gradually became accustomed to the various treasures on Chu Ning.

After taking the elixir given by Chu Ning, he began to close his eyes, regulate his breathing, and regain his consciousness.

Chu Ning himself continued to understand the formation.

When I saw Chu Ning comprehending one formation after another without any pause.

Cen Zijin couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

"My spiritual consciousness is considered to be strong in the sect. Although it is only in the early stage of the Golden Core, it is completely comparable to the spiritual consciousness of the monks in the middle stage of the Golden Core in the sect.

But Chu Ning's spiritual consciousness, not to mention the late Golden Core stage, even when the master reached the peak of the late Golden Core stage and was about to attack the Nascent Soul, he probably couldn't match it. "

But when she thought of the various magical powers Chu Ning had displayed, which could even kill Nascent Soul cultivators, she couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

Chu Ning is not an ordinary golden elixir monk.

The two of them didn't know how many days they spent, but finally, all thirty-six formations were comprehended by the two of them.

However, the original plan of one person and half was naturally impossible, and Cen Zijin only understood the nine formations.

The remaining twenty-seven formations were all comprehended by Chu Ning and engraved on the jade slips.

Immediately, the two of them walked around the other stone chambers in the cave.

I also found some materials for setting up formations, but not much.

Chu Ning and Cen Zijin didn't pay much attention.

After all, there are these thirty-six formations, plus the Yuanying monks condensed in them to understand the formations, which has already made the two of them gain a lot.

Leaving the cave is actually easier.

Chu Ning, who had already understood the Yunxing Formation, was walking out with Cen Zijin faster than Bai Ling.

The two came outside the cave again.

At this moment, Chu Ning looked at the restricted light curtain between the eighth and ninth floors, with a thoughtful look on his face.

There was no rush to let Bai Ling lead the two of them in.

Chu Ning slowly stretched out his hand at this moment, and then condensed a ball of white light in his hand and touched the restriction.

After a long time, Chu Ning took his hand back again.

Cen Zijin saw the enlightened expression on Chu Ning's face and couldn't help but ask:

"The formation restriction here is what you just realized?"

Chu Ning nodded and said:

“Fortunately we didn’t let Bai Ling lead us in directly.

The restriction between the ninth and eighth levels is not connected to the formation of the Elder Mountain like other levels.

Instead, another formation was deployed, called the Tianxuan Thunder and Fire Formation.

This formation is extremely mysterious and extremely lethal.

If we let Bai Ling take us in directly, we may be attacked by the formation and destroyed as soon as we step in. "

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin couldn't help but feel secretly afraid.

But Chu Ning stopped talking at this moment, formed seals with his hands, and shot out a series of spells, falling into the restriction in front.

After a while, the restriction here revealed a human-shaped passage.

"Zijin, follow me!"

Chu Ning's face showed serious expression at this moment.

"Don't go astray. The attack power of this formation may not be able to withstand even if the Nascent Soul cultivator comes."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin nodded immediately and followed Chu Ning into the formation without daring to be careless.

Stepping into the formation, the two of them suddenly felt like they were surrounded by thunder and fire.

Below there was fire, and above there was lightning and thunder.

There was no passage in front of the two of them. It seemed that as long as they took one step, they would be violently struck into the sea of ​​fire by the power of thunder.

Seeing this, Chu Ning took out a piece of good quality weapon refining material from the storage bag and threw it out.

Just as the object flew out, an arc of electricity like a baby's arm struck straight down from top to bottom!

This unusually hard piece of weapon refining material instantly turned into powder under this blow.

The power of this thunder was so powerful that even Chu Ning could not help but change his expression.

Although he had tempered his body with thunder in the Northern Cold Land before, now, seeing such a powerful thunder power, he couldn't help but change slightly.

He could even vaguely feel that this lightning arc was not the most powerful.

He turned his head and glanced at Cen Zijin, whose face also changed slightly at this moment, and comforted him with a smile:

"It's okay, follow me."

After saying that, Chu Ning felt it for a while.

Taking the initiative to hold Cen Zijin's hand, he took a decisive step and stepped into the sea of ​​​​fire ahead.

Miraculously, when Chu Ning stepped into the sea of ​​fire, the flames under his feet suddenly dispersed.

A stone path appeared at his feet.

At this moment, Chu Ning did not walk forward directly, but moved two feet to the left.

At the same time, he directed Cen Zijin to keep up with his pace.

After constantly changing directions for a while, a curtain of fire appeared in front of Chu Ning.

At this moment, Chu Ning did not choose to pass directly.

Forming seals with both hands, he hit several magic formulas again and landed on them.

Immediately afterwards, the fire curtain split into two, and Chu Ning took Cen Zijin through it.

After walking through the fire curtain for a long time, we were greeted by another thunder curtain.

Chu Ning has already mastered the method of setting up and breaking the Heavenly Mysterious Thunder Fire Formation, so it is not difficult for Chu Ning.

Soon, Chu Ning led Cen Zijin through the thunder curtain and continued moving forward.

It went forward for a while, going left, right, forward and back like this.

Chu Ning led Cen Zijin and finally walked out of the formation after passing through a restricted barrier.

What they saw made both Chu Ning and Chu Ning stunned.

Chu Ning originally thought that since it was the training place of the two sect masters of the Thunder Fire Sect, there would naturally be two large caves here.

But what stood before their eyes at this moment were only two stone pavilions.

There are no formation restrictions in the pavilion, nor are there many decorations. There are only two seats that look like futons.

"This is the training place of the two Thunder Fire Sect masters?"

Chu Ning looked at the two stone pavilions with surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

You must know that the two opponents are famous late Yuanying monks, the top strong men in the Eastern Saint Continent.

Chu Ning and Cen Zijin looked at each other, but did not dare to walk into the stone pavilion immediately.

Chu Ning released his consciousness and explored the stone pavilion on the right.

There was nothing abnormal within the range of his consciousness. After scanning around, his consciousness landed on the futon.

The next moment, a shadow suddenly appeared from the futon.

This man has a childlike face and white hair, and is wearing a fiery red robe.

Chu Ning glanced at it and felt that what he saw was not a shadow, but a ball of blazing sun.

"Master Huoyun!"

Chu Ning looked at this person and his eyes flashed slightly.

This person's appearance was not unfamiliar to him.

When he first entered the ruins of the Thunder Fire Sect, Chu Ning saw it in the shadow above the main seat of the main hall.

And the second time I entered, I could see the murals in the great elder's cave very clearly.

This person is none other than one of the two sect masters of the Thunder Fire Sect, Master Huoyun in the late Yuan Ying period.

Just when Chu Ning was thinking this, Master Huoyun flashed a trace of confusion in his eyes, and suddenly spoke to Chu Ning.

"You woke me up, huh? You don't seem to be my Thunder Fire Sect monk?

Late Jindan cultivator, if you are a cultivator of our sect, I will be somewhat impressed.

I've never seen you before, why do you appear here? "

Chu Ning looked at the shadow of the other party. Even if the other party didn't say it, he knew that this should be a ray of spiritual thought from Master Huoyun.

And in the mural of the great elder, the two of them perished together with the demon from outside the territory.

If we speculate like this, there seems to be a greater chance that this ray of spiritual thought was left before the war.

With this thought in mind, Chu Ning slowly said:

"Senior, I am not a disciple of the Thunder Fire Sect, but I have unintentionally acquired some of the sect's inheritance.

Senior, it seems to be a ray of spiritual thought left by Master Huoyun. I don’t know if Senior knows that Thunder Fire Sect was attacked by an extraterrestrial demon.

Do you know the outcome of that war? "

"You are not a disciple of our sect, but you know about the demons outside the territory. It seems that you know a lot about our sect."

A strange color flashed across the face of Master Huo Yun's spiritual phantom.

But it seemed that Chu Ning was not surprised by the extraterrestrial demon.

It seems that this ray of spiritual thought should have been left behind after the appearance of the extraterrestrial demon.

However, what made Chu Ning a little strange.

According to the record of the great elder's mural, after the extraterrestrial demon appeared, Master Huoyun and Master Tianlei returned to Thunder Fire Sect to fight.

How could they think of leaving a trace of spiritual thoughts here first?

With this thought in mind, Chu Ning said truthfully at this moment.

"This junior saw it from the murals in the Great Elder's cave, so he has some understanding of the whole matter of the sect."

"Great Elder's cave murals?"

Master Huo Yun's spiritual thought was frowning at this moment.

"How many years have I been sleeping here? Where are the Great Elder and others?"

Chu Ning couldn't help being slightly stunned when she heard this, and quickly analyzed the meaning behind the words in her heart.

"It seems that Master Huo Yun's spiritual will was left behind when the demons from outside the territory just invaded. It turns out that he really doesn't even know the outcome of this battle."

Thinking like this, Chu Ning still said:

"I don't know exactly how long the senior has been sleeping. During the battle between the Thunder Fire Sect and the demon outside the territory, the real body of the senior died together with the leader of the demon outside the territory.

The entire Thunder Fire Sect was dragged into the space rift by the extraterrestrial demon.

The younger generation discovered the ruins here a hundred years ago.

However, it is not known how many years the small world here has been in the space crack and when it emerged from the space crack. "

"Space crack?" The phantom of Master Huoyun couldn't help but shake at this moment.

Immediately, he looked at Chu Ning with two eyes, as if two balls of fire were burning Chu Ning's whole body.

"That monk from our sect..."

Chu Ning was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said:

"The entire Thunder Fire Sect is trapped in the space crack, and no one survives."

"What!"

Even though the former owner of this ray of spiritual thought, Master Huoyun, was a late-stage Nascent Soul monk and had experienced countless storms, he couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.

Then, he suddenly waved his hand and hit the futon of the stone pavilion on the left.

The next moment, a shadow of divine thought appeared from the cushion, and Chu Ning also recognized it.

It was the other leader of the Leihuo Sect, Master Tianlei, who was also in the late Nascent Soul stage.

"Old Lei, something happened!"

Master Huoyun repeated what Chu Ning had just said.

The eyes of the two shadows of divine thought fell on Chu Ning at this moment.

"Tell me everything you know."

Chu Ning nodded, and he didn't hide anything.

He told in detail about how he accidentally broke into the ruins of the Leihuo Sect and saw the records on the murals carved by the great elder.

Of course, when he was talking, he didn't talk about the previous things of the Leihuo Sect, but only talked about what happened after the appearance of the extraterritorial demon.

Because Cen Zijin didn't know these things, he didn't interrupt Chu Ning during the whole process of speaking, but just listened quietly.

After Chu Ning finished speaking, the two shadows fell silent.

Then the two looked at each other, as if they had some communication.

At this time, Master Huoyun's eyes fell on Chu Ning again.

"What the elder said in the mural is not entirely correct. Our Leihuo Sect was not dragged into the space crack by the extraterritorial demon.

If we guess correctly, we should have been dragged in by the immortal seed."

"What immortal seed? I think it's more like a demon seed."

At this time, Master Tianlei on the side suddenly said angrily.

"If it weren't for this thing, the two of us would not have fallen, and the Leihuo Sect would not have perished because of it."

"Immortal seed?"

Hearing Master Tianlei's words, Cen Zijin didn't have anything to say, but Chu Ning couldn't help but blurt out and asked:

"What the senior said, is it the immortal seed that can help the late Nascent Soul cultivators break through to the God Transformation Stage in the legend?"

"You actually know about the immortal seed?"

This time, it was the turn of the two Leihuo Sect masters to be surprised.

The Master Huoyun asked curiously:

"Even the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Eastern Saint Continent know about this matter of immortal seeds. How do you, a Jindan cultivator, know about it?"

Chu Ning has long been curious about this matter of immortal seeds. Now that he heard the two sect masters of the Thunder Fire Sect talking about immortal seeds, he had nothing to hide.

"I once traveled to the Northern Cold Land a few years ago, and accidentally met the remnant soul of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sky Curtain Continent there.

I heard this from him."

"The remnant soul of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sky Curtain Continent in the Northern Cold Land must have been a cultivator who participated in the battle for immortal seeds back then."

When Master Huoyun said this, Chu Ning's eyes flashed with a strange color.

"Two seniors, did you also participate in the battle for immortal seeds in the Northern Cold Land ten thousand years ago?"

"Ten thousand years ago? It turns out that ten thousand years have passed." Master Huoyun murmured at this moment.

At this time, Master Tianlei on the side said:

"Little kid, since you have been able to enter the Leihuo Sect several times and even break into the formation to wake us up, you are destined to be together.

Our divine consciousness could have supported a few more years in the sleep, but now we have little time left after waking up.

It's okay to tell you that we not only went to the North Cold Land to participate in the battle for the immortal seed.

With the combined efforts of the two of us, we even managed to snatch the immortal seed and brought it back to the Leihuo Sect."

"Senior, did you snatch the immortal seed?" Chu Ning was surprised at this moment.

"Then why..."

Master Huoyun seemed to guess what Chu Ning wanted to ask, and asked back:

"You want to know why we didn't enter the God Transformation Stage, but instead died in the battle with the extraterritorial demon?"

Chu Ning nodded, and Master Huoyun sighed at this moment.

"That's because after we got the immortal seed, we didn't have time to discuss how to use it to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

Then the extraterritorial demon came!"

Chu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and from the other party's words, he vaguely had a guess.

At this moment, Master Huoyun continued:

"We didn't know the reason back then, but now I think that those extraterritorial demons appeared here, most likely because of the immortal seed.

We left a wisp of divine consciousness back then to control a restriction here to trap the immortal seed.

But just when we died in the battle with the extraterritorial demon, the immortal seed broke free from the shackles.

The two of us fell into a deep sleep due to the fall of our physical bodies and the impact of the immortal seed.

But before we fell asleep, we also vaguely felt that there seemed to be a violent force of space pulling us.

I think that's what you said about the entire sect being dragged into the space crack."

Hearing Master Huoyun's words, Chu Ning asked in disbelief:

"Senior, do you mean that the Thunder Fire Sect was dragged into the space crack because of the escape of the immortal seed?"
