Chapter 911: Tree of Myriad Laws

Chapter 911: Chapter 378: Tree of Myriad Laws

“Within the Cloud Peak Mountain Range, there is a forbidden land that contains a treasure known as the Tree of Myriad Laws, which is extremely miraculous.”

Yu Changge spoke slowly at this moment.

“What we know about some heavenly materials and earth treasures is that they either strengthen the physical body, enhance magical power, or strengthen the divine sense.

However, the fruit borne by this tree has the simultaneous effect of strengthening the body, enhancing magical power, and fortifying the divine sense.

After consumption and cultivation, although it may not necessarily elevate to a higher realm, one can almost experience the effect of promotion.”

Upon hearing Yu Changge’s words, Chu Ning and Cen Zijin showed expressions of surprise.

Especially Chu Ning, who has encountered many heavenly materials and earth treasures.

But as Yu Changge explained, he had almost never seen any heavenly material or earth treasure that could simultaneously amplify the body, magical power, and divine sense.

This situation can only be distinctly felt during promotions like from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, or from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation.

And Yu Changge continued at this time:

“This tree bears fruit every hundred years, with only ten fruits at a time, the spirit fruits must be consumed immediately once picked.

Calculating the time, it will be another year and three months before the spirit fruit matures.

The Alliance stipulates that cultivators under five hundred years old and below the Nascent Soul Stage can obtain participation through competition, most of those competing for slots are the younger Golden Core cultivators in the alliance.

I once consumed one a hundred years ago, and it certainly had a substantial effect on the enhancement of cultivation.”

Yu Changge chuckled as he glanced at Chu Ning and the others.

“Elder Chu has a Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, and if you participate, you have a great chance to bring Elder Cen into the forbidden land to gain eligibility to consume the fruit.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning was somewhat surprised.

“Can you bring someone else into the forbidden land?”

Yu Changge immediately explained:

“Because every year’s battle for slots only determines nine individuals, the cultivator ranked first in the competition can bring one additional person into the forbidden land.”

Upon hearing this unusual rule, Chu Ning couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

Yu Changge also asked with a smile at this moment:

“Do you find this rule quite strange? Actually, this rule was set by the Guiyuan Sect.

Primarily because of Guiyuan Sect’s strong prowess, they almost always take first place in every competition.

A hundred years ago, when I participated, the first place was won by Guiyuan Sect’s Jiang Cheng, who also brought a Guiyuan Sect cultivator with him.”

Chu Ning finally understood after hearing this.

At the same time, he felt a bit surprised, as it indicated that Jiang Cheng was indeed stronger than Yu Changge.

Unexpectedly, Yu Changge entered the Nascent Soul Stage even earlier than Jiang Cheng.

Thus, Yu Changge must have had some other fortuitous encounter.

“Is the competition held at Guiyuan Sect in a year?”

After receiving a confirmation, Chu Ning immediately agreed.

He was indeed curious about the spirit fruits of the Tree of Myriad Laws and wished to witness them for himself.

Additionally, Cen Zijin was also an important reason.

Chu himself did not have a high demand for enhancement of body and divine sense, since his divine sense was already strong, and body cultivation through the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique was far stronger than ordinary cultivators.

But if he indeed could obtain the first-place slot and bring Cen Zijin into the forbidden land to obtain the spirit fruit, it would definitely be of great benefit to Cen Zijin.

At this moment, Gong Yuyuan suddenly spoke up from the side:

“By the way, Sect Leader, that Jiang Cheng should also be under five hundred years old, right? Will he participate this time?”

Upon hearing Gong Yuyuan’s words, Yu Changge pondered briefly and then replied:

“Indeed, Jiang Cheng is not yet five hundred years old, whether he intends to participate is uncertain as there is no regulation within the alliance that says a cultivator cannot participate twice.”

Nonetheless, Yu Changge turned to smile.

“Even if Jiang Cheng participates, Elder Chu may still have a chance.”

Yu Changge had witnessed Chu Ning’s previous engagement with Tang Xuan and knew well Chu Ning’s strength.

The others were deeply surprised upon hearing Yu Changge’s words.

However, both Yu Changge and Chu Ning did not pursue this topic further, and no one else inquired further.

The matter of Chu Ning and Cen Zijin participating in the event was thus decided.

Three days later, Jiuhua Sect held a grand initiation ceremony, officially welcoming Cen Zijin and others into Jiuhua Sect.

Simultaneously announcing the addition of three new Golden Core Elders to the sect to all sects within Cloud Peak Alliance.

For a time, it astonished many sects.

Jiuhua Sect’s rise in strength became quite a topic within the Cloud Peak Alliance.

Sixty years ago, when Chu Ning advanced to a Golden Core cultivator, there wasn’t much attention from other sects.

The Jiuhua Sect, having originally nine elders growing to ten elders, appeared as if its strength had not fundamentally changed to most sects.

Only after Yu Changge’s promotion to Nascent Soul did it gain the first attention.

After all, Jiuhua Sect suddenly possessed two Nascent Soul cultivators.

In the entire Cloud Peak Alliance, this elevated its strength considerably.

And now, suddenly, three more Golden Core cultivators were added.

With Jiuhua Sect’s current lineup of two Nascent Soul cultivators and thirteen Golden Core cultivators, even within the entire Cloud Peak Alliance, it ranks higher middle and ahead.

While sending messages to various sects, Chu Ning also asked someone to send a message to Shi Xuerong.

Back when both were on No-Spirit Island, they had agreed to send messages to each other’s sects upon returning.

And after Shi Xuerong returned to the Cloud Peak Alliance, she did indeed immediately come to Jiuhua Sect with a message, letting the sect know Chu Ning was still alive.

Chu Ning has now returned to the sect, so it is proper to inform them.

Three months later, within Celestial Mist Peak, Chu Ning and Cen Zijin stood in front of two Snow Crystal Ganoderma.

Cen Zijin curiously watched Chu Ning extract Spiritual Liquid from the Snow Crystal Ganoderma.

“The speed at which this Ten Thousand Year Snow Crystal Ganoderma condenses Spiritual Liquid is unexpectedly not slower than the Three-Thousand-Year-Old one. That surprised me somewhat.”

Chu Ning collected several drops of the Ten Thousand Year Snow Crystal Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid into a bottle.

He turned to Bai Ling who stood beside him and said, “It’s also thanks to your promotion awakening, otherwise the speed would be much slower.”

Two months ago, Bai Ling awoke from his promotion slumber and successfully advanced to the Sixth Level.

During this period, these two Snow Crystal Ganoderma were taken care of by Bai Ling.

As he spoke, Chu Ning directly dripped one drop of Snow Crystal Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid into Bai Ling’s mouth.

It was considered a reward for the little fellow.

Then, he handed another small bottle to Cen Zijin.

“I have enough of the Ten Thousand Year Snow Crystal Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid, so you use the Three-Thousand-Year-Old one for refining.

This way, even if you reduce the use of elixirs, the cultivation will not slow down.”

“Alright!” Cen Zijin responded and took the Jade Bottle from Chu Ning’s hand.

Then, she curiously asked:

“Isn’t there really any impact from consuming so many elixirs?”

Chu Ning had refined many elixirs for Cen Zijin, but Cen Zijin dared not consume them as boldly as he did.

Not to mention drug resistance, the elixir’s toxins alone require time and Pill Fire refinement.

“My physique is relatively special, so it’s no problem,” Chu Ning replied with a smile.

He has various Spirit Bodies within him, and coupled with cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Technique, his Magical Power is far more profound than ordinary cultivators.

Whether it’s elixirs or refining this Snow Crystal Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid, the speed cannot compare to Cen Zijin.

This is why he gave Cen Zijin the Three-Thousand-Year-Old Snow Crystal Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid.

The Ten Thousand Year Snow Crystal Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid, even if given to Cen Zijin, would be difficult for her to refine.

With the regular condensation of Snow Crystal Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid, Chu Ning’s cultivation truly got on track.

In the following period, Chu Ning lived quite fulfillingly.

Most of the time was spent refining the Wood Spirit Seed and Gold Spirit Seed within him, along with continuously improving the proficiency of the Five Elements Chaos Technique.

Chu Ning could originally refine two Spirit Seeds simultaneously, and now with the assistance of Snow Crystal Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid and various elixirs.

The cultivation speed was much faster than before.

Almost every day, there was an increase of 50 to 70 proficiency points.

More time spent on cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Technique naturally meant slower progress in the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

Chu Ning arranged a Cloud Thunder Array within Celestial Mist Peak.

However, the thunderstorm frequency inside Jiuhua Mountain is far less than that of the Endless Sea.

The Thunderbolt Power gathered in Chu Ning’s Cloud Thunder Array only suffices for him to enter for body tempering once every ten days or half a month.

In his spare time, Chu Ning either refined the Jiuhua Starship or arranged the necessary items for the sect array.

When inspired, he would go to the Alchemy Pavilion to check on Su Keke’s cultivation progress.

Although Su Yuqing’s cultivation isn’t as advanced as Chu Ning’s, having trained at Jiuhua Sect since childhood, she is better at laying foundation during the Qi Cultivation Stage than Chu Ning.

Under her guidance, although Su Keke’s cultivation hasn’t shown great improvements.

Chu Ning could see that her foundation was much stable.

Thus, he was reassured.

Time flew by, and another year passed, bringing the maturity time of the Myriad Techniques Spirit Fruit closer.

As per Jiuhua Sect’s prior message received from Guiyuan Sect, the cultivators’ competition across the sects will occur in half a month.

Because traveling to Guiyuan Sect takes time, Chu Ning and others needed to depart early as expected.

Inside Celestial Mist Peak, Chu Ning wasn’t in a hurry to leave; instead, he sat outside the cultivation room, savoring Spirit Tea.

While checking his cultivation progress, he occasionally glanced towards Cen Zijin’s cultivation room.

[Five Elements Chaos Technique (Celestial Tier Middle Grade), Third Layer (60400/200000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume Two, Second Layer (68390/90000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Fourth Layer (64000/64000)]

In over a year, the Five Elements Chaos Technique was the fastest in cultivation, averaging nearly 60 points gain per day.

Not much was done with the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, so naturally it was slower, with only two to three points per day.

“If such speed could be maintained continuously, reaching the Golden Core Late Stage Peak wouldn’t take too long.

Unfortunately, the Wood Spirit Seed was mostly refined by others before, and at most, in about three or four years, it will be completely refined.”

Thinking about this, Chu Ning felt a slight regret.

Fortunately, the acquisition of the Wood Spirit Seed was accidental, so he wasn’t overly concerned.

Just then, Cen Zijin’s cultivation room’s restriction fluctuated, and she walked out slowly.

Seeing this, Chu Ning immediately went to greet her and asked, “How is it, has your realm stabilized?”

Cen Zijin smiled slightly and nodded.

“Then you are truly a Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator now!”

Chu Ning laughed aloud and then grabbed Cen Zijin and started to walk outside.

“Perfect timing, we should set off for Guiyuan Sect, otherwise we might miss it.”

“Just the two of us going?”

“Master Tang will accompany us; even though this is only a competition between Golden Core Cultivators, every sect will arrange Nascent Soul Cultivators to oversee.”
