Chapter 891: Beware the Immortal Seed

Chapter 891: Chapter 366: Beware the Immortal Seed

“Therefore, I say it is more appropriate to call it a Demon Seed.”

At this moment, the Celestial Thunder Ascendant snorted coldly from the side; this Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator seemed to have a somewhat fiery temper.

“I suspect that it was because we brought this thing into the Sect that the Outer Celestial Demons were able to pinpoint and open a passage to enter.

In the end, this Demon Seed might very well have used this to leave our Celestial Derivation Realm.”

After the Celestial Thunder Ascendant finished speaking, although the Fire Cloud Ascendant showed hesitation, he did not refute.

“The invasion of the Outer Celestial Demons is actually related to the legendary Immortal Seed.”

Chu Ning was greatly surprised upon hearing this news, but still asked:

“Senior, can this Immortal Seed really help with the promotion to the Divinity Transformation Stage?”

“I don’t know!” The Fire Cloud Ascendant shook his head.

“In ancient times, when a cultivator broke through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, they could ascend to the Upper Realm.

But later, with the changes in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, about ten thousand years ago—no, according to what you just said, it should be twenty thousand years ago.

The last known Cultivator to promote to the Divinity Transformation Stage ascended, but no others appeared to ascend after reaching this stage.

Later, news spread that there was an Immortal Seed in the Celestial Derivation Realm which, if one could consume and refine it, could promote to the Divinity Transformation Stage and ascend to the Upper Realm.

This led to that great fight for it ten thousand years ago.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Senior, what does this Immortal Seed look like?”

The Fire Cloud Ascendant then shook his head and said:

“To my shame, even though we obtained the Immortal Seed during that contest,

at the time it was enveloped in a layer of Spiritual Qi Light Group, and even we couldn’t see through it.”

At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly thought of something and immediately asked:

“Two Seniors, does this Spirit Seed have anything to do with the Immortal Seed?”

“Indeed!” The Fire Cloud Ascendant nodded at this moment.

“Both of us obtained Spirit Seeds during the Golden Core Stage; I obtained the Fire Spirit Seed, and Old Ghost Le obtained the Thunder Spirit Seed.

If our guess is correct, this Spirit Seed is born from the Immortal Seed.”

Upon hearing the Fire Cloud Ascendant’s words, Chu Ning couldn’t help but have a slight change in expression.

“Then doesn’t this Spirit Seed also have something to do with the Outer Celestial Demons?”

“Previously, we didn’t find anything in this regard, but it’s hard to say,” answered the Fire Cloud Ascendant.

The Celestial Thunder Ascendant then asked from the side:

“What is your name, and have you obtained a Spirit Seed as well?”

“The junior’s name is Chu Ning, and I did indeed luckily obtain a Spirit Seed,” Chu Ning replied at this moment.

At this, the Celestial Thunder Ascendant gave a light hum, then continued:

“The Spirit Seed, before we encountered the Immortal Seed, showed no indications of side effects, so you can rest assured to refine it.

The Outer Celestial Demons should not be able to locate through the Spirit Seed.”

After a slight pause, he continued:

“You managed to obtain a Spirit Seed, it seems your Talent and fortune are quite good.

Since you have already received part of my Thunder Fire Sect’s inheritance, I might as well pass you a set of my Cultivation Techniques and Spells.

If you can practice, then practice them; if not, look for a Thunder Attribute Spirit Root Cultivator to pass them on to later. Old Monster Huo, what about you?”

“I also have this intention.” The Fire Cloud Ascendant nodded at this moment.

“It seems you have a Fire Spirit Root, so you can cultivate this set of Cultivation Techniques and Spells yourself.”

Saying this, the Fire Cloud Ascendant casually conjured a light group.

Thereafter, the entire phantom quickly faded somewhat.

The Celestial Thunder Ascendant did the same.

With the Divine Thought of two Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators, in the blink of an eye, two light groups flew towards Chu Ning.

Chu Ning did not resist either, as the two light groups quickly merged into Chu Ning’s head.

“Thank you, two Seniors!” Chu Ning bowed and gave a grand salute to the two.

Although he had not yet comprehended the Cultivation Techniques and Spells from the two, since they were famous Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators from ten thousand years ago,

it would be expected that these Cultivation Techniques and Spells are extraordinary.

At this time, Chu Ning asked with some confusion:

“Two Seniors, the Grand Elder and others have been dragged into this Spatial Rift for quite some time.

Did they not enter this ninth layer to awaken the two Seniors?”

The Fire Cloud Ascendant shook his head.

“Since you have gained access to decrypt and enter the Celestial Profound Thunderfire Array, you should have felt it when entering the array.

You need to invoke the explosive Fire Attribute and Thunder Attribute Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth to truly enter.

Since there is no Spiritual Qi in that Spatial Rift, even the Grand Elder and others could not enter the Celestial Profound Thunderfire Array.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning slightly nodded.

“Back then, our Thunder Fire Sect was one of the top sects in the East Saint Continent.

But after being dragged into that Spatial Rift, the elders likely didn’t have the heart to organize the Sect’s inheritance.

Moreover, the original Sect was built on Thunderfire Mountain, and although there is Spiritual Qi here now, there is no Spirit Vein support, so it has no reason to exist.

Later, you can take the various Array Formation Tools of the Celestial Profound Thunderfire Array from under the two stone pavilions.

There are also some rare Artifact Refining Materials we collected back then.

It’s just a pity that although we collected some Ancient Treasures before, they were all destroyed during the battle with those Demons.

And since the founding time of the Thunder Fire Sect was not long, we did not collect Ancient Exotic Treasures like Spirit Treasures.”

While saying this, the phantom images of the two Divine Thoughts began to rapidly fade.

“Founding a sect involves too many entanglements, and we will not force it upon you.

If there is a chance, unravel the mystery of that Immortal Seed, even if only for our peace of mind.”

With Fire Cloud Ascendant’s words, two figures gradually faded into invisibility.

In the sky above, Celestial Thunder Ascendant’s words lingered.

“Chu Ning, be careful of the Immortal Seed!”

Looking at the two empty stone pavilions, Chu Ning remained silent for a long time, then sighed lightly.

Cen Zijin gently held Chu Ning’s hand.

“Chu Ning, are you worried about the Spirit Seed inside you?”

“Not entirely.” Chu Ning shook his head at this moment.

“The two seniors said the Spirit Seed poses no problem, so it should be fine by rights.

It’s just lamentable that both seniors, who were exceptionally talented and became leading figures in the East Saint Continent, ended up disappearing into thin air.

It inevitably evokes some sighs!”

“Yes! Nascent Soul Late Stage, already an unattainable existence in the eyes of many cultivators.

Perhaps only after reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage can one be truly called an Immortal.”

“Divinity Transformation Stage!”

Chu Ning murmured these three words, but what he heard was still the last shout of Celestial Thunder Ascendant.

“Be careful of the Immortal Seed!”

Sighing lightly, Chu Ning smiled and said to Cen Zijin:

“That realm is still too far for us. Let’s focus on the matters at hand for now.

The materials for setting up the Celestial Profound Thunderfire Array are all rare treasures of the world.

Since the two seniors allowed us to take these materials, we won’t hold back.”

Saying this, Chu Ning led Cen Liaojin to the two pavilions.

He was already familiar with the method of arranging the Celestial Profound Thunderfire Array, and with hints from the two Sect Leaders of the Thunder Fire Sect.

Knowing the setup was beneath the pavilion made it easy to find.

Quickly, Chu Ning began to retrieve the array setup items from beneath the pavilion.

Indeed, there were some top-tier artifact refining materials below, mainly some thunder attribute and fire attribute artifact refining materials.

Some were even unrecognizable to Chu Ning, but they were surely extraordinary.

With Chu Ning gathering the materials and tools for the Thunder Flame Sect’s array, the lightning cloud sea of fire ahead vanished.

At this moment, standing on the stone pavilion, Chu Ning and the others could clearly see the entire Elder Mountain.

Chu Ning then realized that the two pavilions were not far from the eighth level’s cave mansion.

The land they occupied was indeed much smaller.

It seemed that Fire Cloud Ascendant and Celestial Thunder Ascendant had long transcended the concept of cave mansions in cultivation, perhaps regarding the entire world as a place for cultivation.

At this time, Chu Ning quickly felt the entire Elder Mountain begin to tremble.

Each cave mansion’s restriction was also fluctuating and gradually approaching a state of collapse.

“It seems dismantling the Celestial Profound Thunderfire Array triggered the entire Sect Grand Array.”

Seeing this, Chu Ning immediately called out Bai Ling.

“Quickly take us out; if all the array restrictions are destroyed, it might lead to the collapse of this small space.”

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Bai Ling dared not hesitate.

Sensing that there was a space barrier spot behind the pavilion, she waved out two white lights, swiftly enveloping Chu Ning and Cen Zijin.

With a flash of white light, the two figures had already vanished from the small space.

Shortly after their disappearance, the entire Elder Mountain began to shake more violently.

The seventh and eighth level’s array restrictions fluctuated even more fiercely.

“Boom!!!”

With a series of explosive sounds, the entire Elder Mountain began to collapse.

Immediately after, the sky above the entire small space also seemed to collapse down, instantly plunging into endless darkness.

At this moment, Chu Ning and Cen Zijin had just flown up to the surface of a lake.

“Master, I can’t sense the presence of that space barrier anymore.”

Then, Bai Ling suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning couldn’t help but let out a light breath:

“It seems that small space really has collapsed.”

After saying this, Chu Ning sighed again:

“Now, besides us having acquired some legacy from the Thunder Fire Sect, the Thunder Fire Sect has truly vanished from the world.”

Cen Zijin, recalling the time in Yaochi Palace, also sighed:

“In the cultivation realm, the survival of a sect and that of cultivators are actually the same; wanting to preserve a legacy for long is not easy.”

At this, Cen Zijin added:

“Oh dear, we’ve spent a lot of time in the Thunder Fire Sect ruins; Senior Sister Cheng and the others may have already reached the outskirts of the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands and might be growing impatient.”

As soon as Chu Ning heard this, he immediately said:

“In that case, you go outside to meet them.

I’ll head to Feihong Island first to see what Cheng Xinxin and her family have to say, and then I’ll go to Jade Spring Island to repair the array.

Lastly, we’ll rendezvous at Jade Spring Island.”

“Okay!” Cen Zijin readily agreed.

Immediately, the two went their separate ways.

For safety, Chu Ning had Bai Ling accompany Cen Zijin and also gave her a Golden Thunder Eagle.

Only then did Chu Ning fly towards Feihong Island on Xiao Jin.
