Chapter 831 - 339: One Against Three, Spirit Treasure Profound Sky Mirror (3)

After finishing everything, Chu Ning was about to find an archway to pass through, but instinctively turned back to glance at the location where the Divine Platform had exploded.

At this moment, there were no more restrictions there.

Yet as his Divine Sense swept over, he sensed that beneath the many shattered jade pieces, there was still something.

Chu Ning’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly arrived at the Divine Platform location, waving his hand to cast a spell that swept away all the shattered jade pieces.

Within his sight, a small, ancient-looking mirror appeared.

Chu Ning’s eyes lit up, and he made a gesture, directly grabbing the small, ancient-looking mirror into his hand.

"Elder Turtle, is this the Profound Night Mirror?"

"Lucky young one indeed."

The voice of the giant turtle leisurely sounded, and for the first time, Chu Ning detected a slight peculiarity in its tone.

Within the tone, there was a hint of surprise.

"Profound Night Mirror, Spirit Treasure!"

Chu Ning silently recited in his heart and immediately, without hesitation, placed the treasure into his Storage Bag.

His Divine Sense swept through the grand hall once again, discovering nothing, and at this moment, Chu Ning couldn’t spare much time for careful investigation.

After glancing at the ten-plus archways, his figure flashed and appeared at the position of the leftmost archway, crossing through without hesitation.

This spot was where the gray-robed Cultivator, who appeared last outside the Inner Hall, and another Nascent Soul Cultivator entered.

Although Chu Ning knew that the two independent Cultivators would surely have some tactics.

Nonetheless, compared to Lu Xuedao, Tantai Ze, and Old Demon Qu, Chu Ning naturally preferred not to confront the Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Entering the archway revealed a long passage.

The walls on both sides of the passage were made of unknown materials that emitted natural light, allowing Chu Ning to take in the passage at a glance.

However, the passage was exceedingly long and clearly designed to interfere with Divine Sense, with Chu Ning unable to probe more than ten zhang.

"Elder Turtle, what is this place?"

Chu Ning asked while walking forward, addressing the giant turtle in the Spirit Beast Bag.

To his disappointment, the turtle, who had always been knowledgeable within the Void Abyss, replied:

"I don’t know, I’ve never ventured within the Inner Hall.

I’ve only heard Cultivators mention that these archways lead to outside passages.

But specifically where they lead, or what lies inside, I do not know."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning frowned lightly and summoned Bai Ling, allowing it to slip into his sleeve.

Not certain if there were any restrictions ahead, he felt it was safer to proceed with Bai Ling.

Via the Spirit Beast Contract, Chu Ning briefly narrated the recent events in the hall to Bai Ling.

Then hastened along the passage forward.

After walking a while, he saw a small recessed door in the wall beside the passage.

With restrictions flickering at the door, Chu Ning brought Bai Ling inside for a look.

Discovering a small Stone Chamber.

But inside, it was empty, devoid of anything.

Thinking of how many Nascent Soul Cultivators must have passed through this passage over nearly ten thousand years, it was only natural that he wouldn’t be the first to venture in, and Chu Ning was not too surprised.

Decisively withdrawing, he continued along the passage.

Walking nearly ten thousand zhang, he encountered numerous Stone Chambers.

Yet none contained any treasures.

Chu Ning didn’t waste much time, glancing briefly without finding anything, then promptly left.

He entered yet another Stone Chamber at this moment.

A scan with his gaze also revealed nothing.

As he prepared to leave, the giant turtle’s voice suddenly sounded.

"Young one, didn’t you notice the good things on the wall?"

Upon hearing the turtle’s words, Chu Ning halted his steps.

He scanned the Stone Chamber’s wall with his Divine Sense but found nothing.

Chu Ning’s face showed a hint of suspicion, knowing the giant turtle wouldn’t suddenly say such words without reason.

Immediately, he began meticulously inspecting the entire wall with his Divine Sense.

Finally, he sensed a slight difference.

"Oh? The material on this wall..."

Chu Ning took quick steps toward the left wall.

Then reached out to touch one of the bricks that looked identical to its neighbors, on the wall.

The entire wall, like the passage outside, was impenetrable to Divine Sense.

But this brick made Chu Ning feel, as his Divine Sense swept over it, a portion was somehow absorbed.

Chu Ning again directed his Divine Sense toward the brick, discovering that indeed a portion of it was absorbed.

Chu Ning somewhat uncertainly said:

"Could this be one of the ancient top ten Artifact Refining Materials, the Moon God Stone?"

"Young one, you truly have some insight." The giant turtle remarked and then fell silent.

Chu Ning immediately spat out a Spirit Sword and began digging at the wall.

The Moon God Stone, one of the top ten ancient Artifact Refining Materials, is crucial for refining Spiritual Magical Treasures.

If incorporated into ordinary Magical Treasures and combined with certain inscriptions, it can achieve the effect of evading an opponent’s Divine Sense lock.

Meaning attacks by Magical Treasures during combat could catch an opponent off guard.

Chu Ning initially learned about this material from the Jiuhua Sect’s Artifact Refining Scriptures.

However, never having seen it, he couldn’t be certain earlier.

After some effort, he finally extracted the Moon God Stone, storing it in his Storage Bag.

Chu Ning then left the Stone Chamber and continued along the passage.

After covering another three hundred zhang, another Stone Gate appeared before Chu Ning.

By now, its restrictions had already been dismantled.

Presumably, the two Nascent Soul Independent Cultivators who exited earlier were responsible.

Chu Ning attempted to use his Divine Sense to perceive the outside through the Stone Gate, but after some futile attempts, gave up on the idea.

Just like the entire passage, Chu Ning’s Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate the Stone Gate.

The giant turtle in the Spirit Beast Bag had already mentioned not knowing what lay beyond, so Chu Ning decided against asking further and directly pushed open the Stone Gate.

Before his eyes appeared a vast mountain cave.

Chu Ning didn’t even need to rely on Divine Sense; he could comprehend it at a glance.

The cave spanned a hundred zhang, filled with various bizarre Stone Forests, and on the opposite side of the cave, was a passage several zhang wide, stretching upward, purpose unknown.

No trace of the earlier two Nascent Soul Independent Cultivators could be seen in the cave, unsure if they had traveled onward via the passage.

Chu Ning didn’t hesitate, directly stepping in.

"Boom!"

Behind him, the Stone Gate automatically closed, merging with the cave wall so seamlessly that it was impossible to tell a Stone Gate had ever existed.

Yet this wasn’t what astonished Chu Ning most; what truly surprised him was...

His Magical Power had vanished.
