Chapter 928: Fusion of Spiritual Qi and Power of Origin_2

“Previously, I mentioned that there is no need for such formalities here. Whether you win or lose, this Cloud Peak Alliance is not part of our Guiyuan Sect, and the top spot is not yours, Jiang Cheng. Letting go of such obsessions will be beneficial for your promotion to the Nascent Soul stage.”

“Thank you, Master!” Jiang Cheng bowed once again.

But at this moment, that cultivator with the surname Zou no longer spoke.

This scene naturally made Chu Ning secretly ponder.

“Jiang Cheng’s master should be of considerable age; he is called Senior Brother by Lu Yuezhang, yet he has Early Stage of Nascent Soul cultivation and has lost his legs. It seems he experienced some misfortune in his early years, and his personality is somewhat eccentric.”

This thought flashed through his mind, but Chu Ning didn’t dwell too much on it.

After all, how this person is does not concern him significantly.

“Senior Brother Zou, Fellow Daoist Shen, shall we lead them in first?”

Lu Yuezhang spoke, and that slender middle-aged cultivator surnamed Shen immediately waved his hand, saying:

“Go, go, but the Tree of Myriad Laws’ Spirit Fruits mature later and later each time. Who knows how long you’ll need to stay inside.”

As he spoke, a jade token appeared in his hand, and after casting several spells, a white light shot forth from the token, landing at the mouth of the valley.

Vaguely, everyone seemed to feel the vibration of a restriction.

However, it was not fully opened.

Subsequently, Jiang Cheng’s master, that cultivator with the surname Zou from Guiyuan Sect, did the same, taking out a jade token.

Yet, even after driving it with their tokens, the restriction at the valley mouth still did not open.

At this point, Lu Yuezhang and the two accompanying Nascent Soul Cultivators each took out a jade token and activated them simultaneously.

As magical power surged from the five jade tokens, the restriction within the valley was officially opened, revealing the full view of the valley entrance.

Vaguely, they could also see the world within the valley.

“It seems that although these two guard here, they cannot casually enter that forbidden land.”

Chu Ning and Cen Zijin exchanged glances.

At this moment, Lu Yuezhang’s voice was heard.

“Everyone, enter the valley!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning and Cen Zijin, standing in the front, didn’t hesitate and flew ahead into the valley.

The others followed closely behind.

The valley wasn’t large, about twenty to thirty li in circumference, and with Chu Ning and the others’ keen eyes, they could grasp its extent at a glance.

Compared to ordinary Spirit Mountains, it didn’t hold too many peculiarities.

Except for the spirit tree in the center.

This tree was approximately a dozen or so zhang tall, with lush, verdant branches and leaves.

Among the verdant leaves, clusters of purple-blue flowers dotted.

And in the center of this tree, an unusually conspicuous branch extended beyond the canopy.

Upon this branch, clusters of Spirit Fruits hung densely, numbering exactly ten.

The Spirit Fruits were the size of a fist, emitting a faint glow.

“Tree of Myriad Laws!”

Even though Chu Ning had never seen it before, he knew that this was the target of their journey.

The next moment, Chu Ning quickly shifted his focus.

He began to carefully sense the more advanced energy that Tang Xuan spoke of here.

Sure enough, he felt that the free-flowing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here seemed slightly different from Spiritual Qi.

Yet at this moment, he couldn’t specifically perceive where this difference lay.

Chu Ning cast an eye at Cen Zijin, who understood the meaning in Chu Ning’s gaze and shook his head.

Just then, Lu Yuezhang’s voice sounded.

“The Tree of Myriad Laws’ Spirit Fruits don’t seem to have matured yet, please wait here.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning immediately brought Cen Zijin with him to curiously approach the direction of the Tree of Myriad Laws.

And it wasn’t just Chu Ning and Cen Zijin who did so.

The others also began to move forward.

“Do not approach within a hundred zhang of the Tree of Myriad Laws.”

At this moment, Lu Yuezhang’s voice sounded once again.

Chu Ning heard this, but his pace quickened instead.

Because at this moment, Chu Ning could feel that as he got closer to the Tree of Myriad Laws, the energy grew stronger.

It was uncertain whether the Tree of Myriad Laws had a gathering effect, or if it was because the energy at the center was stronger that the tree grew there.

Upon arriving within a hundred zhang of the Tree of Myriad Laws, Chu Ning and Cen Zijin halted.

At this moment, the two saw the tree more clearly.

The Spirit Fruits were almost transparent, but at the core, there seemed to be a cluster of white condensation.

“Perhaps, like the Snow Crystal Ganoderma, when they are fully transparent, it marks their maturity.”

“It’s very possible, it seems it will still take some time.”

Chu Ning and Cen Zijin began to communicate through sent thoughts.

“Chu Ning, have you sensed the energy Elder Tang spoke of?”

“I have, but what exactly this energy is, perhaps only by absorbing and refining it inside the body can it be truly felt.”

Chu Ning had just transmitted this when he felt a figure appear not far beside him.

He immediately stopped.

Turning his head, he found that the newcomer was Zhuang Zhong.

Chu Ning had quite an impression of this Profound Fire Sect’s Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivator, so he nodded at him.

The latter only slightly nodded in return, acknowledging the gesture, but did not speak and instead sat cross-legged.

The person had been rather taciturn during the competition, so Chu Ning wasn’t surprised now.

However, seeing the other in such a state, it was evident that he was well aware of what Elder Tang had reminded them of.

Chu Ning withdrew his gaze, exchanging another look with Cen Zijin, and then both sat cross-legged and began cultivation in earnest.

No one knew when the Tree of Myriad Laws’ Spirit Fruits would mature, so gaining more cultivation breaths was worthwhile.

With the Five Elements Chaos Technique in motion, Chu Ning quickly felt a current of air from the heavens and earth being absorbed into his body.

This process was quite similar to absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Yet Chu Ning could indeed feel a difference from Spiritual Qi.

Although the inherent energy was stronger than Spiritual Qi, the absorption and refinement speed was slower.

Chu Ning fully operated the Five Elements Chaos Technique but couldn’t absorb and refine large amounts.

However, at the same time, he was also greatly surprised.

For as this Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi entered his body, the energy therein somehow felt quite familiar.

“It seems somewhat linked to Spiritual Qi, not exactly Spiritual Qi, but one can sense the presence of Spiritual Qi within. This feeling is very intriguing.”

As Chu Ning carefully sensed this energy.

All of a sudden, several things within Chu Ning’s body began to change simultaneously.

Within the Dantian, Gold Spirit Seed and Wood Spirit Seed continuously released pure Spiritual Qi.

Once these Spiritual Qi appeared, they were immediately attracted to the foreign energy Chu Ning had absorbed and refined.

And this wasn’t the most shocking thing to Chu Ning.

More startling was that the Power of Origin Water Drops, which had been dormant since Snow Mist Valley, began reacting too.

A rush of Power of Origin emerged from the water drops.

And then, just like the Spiritual Qi, it surged toward the energy Chu Ning absorbed into his body.

Very quickly, Spiritual Qi and Power of Origin arrived together.

What nearly made Chu Ning cry out in amazement was that the previously incompatible, mutually repelling Spiritual Qi and Power of Origin now seamlessly blended, all merging with that energy!

Then, with Chu Ning’s Five Elements Chaos Technique spurring them, they were rapidly refined!

“This…”

Chu Ning felt the intertwining energies within his body, deeply astonished.

Fortunately, he quickly steadied his Heart Spirit and began refining while meticulously sensing.

And this sensation brought another discovery, which made Chu Ning even more amazed.

“After Spiritual Qi and Power of Origin merge, they are identical to this realm’s energy!”

This revelation invigorated Chu Ning.

He continued to operate the Five Elements Chaos Technique and immediately noticed that the speed at which Spiritual Qi from the Dual Spirit Seeds and Power of Origin from the water drops were released significantly accelerated.

After merging, they began to form an attraction within his body, drawing this realm’s energy rapidly into him.

His absorption and refining speed for this realm’s energy suddenly multiplied several times!
