Chapter 951 - 395: Talent Refresh, Space Secret Technique_3

This is also why the Jiuhua Sect excludes those loose cultivators.

However, these matters are not something Chu Ning needs to worry about.

He is still peacefully engaged in cultivation, artifact refining, and array formation.

In the blink of an eye, a year and a half passed.

On this day, after nearly three years, he handed over the last assembly part of the Jiuhua Starship to the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

Chu Ning informed Cen Zijin about his plan for secluded cultivation, then entered the cultivation room.

Without rushing to cultivate, Chu Ning’s first action was to check the cultivation proficiency in his mind.

[Five Elements Chaos Technique (Celestial Tier Middle Grade), Third Layer (99450/200000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume Two, Second Layer (89930/90000)]

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

"Over this year and a half, though artifact refining and array formation took some time,

it was nonetheless balanced, and the overall progress in cultivation is still good.

At present, the proficiency of the Five Elements Chaos Technique’s Third Layer has reached nearly halfway, and the Second Layer of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique is close to perfection."

Chu Ning murmured softly, a hint of anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

According to the hidden talent of the Ren Water Spirit Body, cultivating Water Attribute Techniques might awaken the Ice Spirit Root with a certain probability.

Chu Ning speculated that the awakening of the Ice Spirit Root should occur when the Third Layer’s proficiency reaches perfection or halfway through cultivation.

Now is a good opportunity to test if reaching half of the Third Layer’s proficiency can awaken the Ice Spirit Root.

The Ice Spirit Root currently offers no significant benefit to Chu Ning’s cultivation.

With his accomplishments in the Five Elements Chaos Technique, there is no possibility of switching to an Ice Attribute Technique.

But for refining the Profound Ice Flame, the Ice Spirit Root is of great use; otherwise, he would need to wait until the Middle or even Late Stage of Nascent Soul to refine it.

That, indeed, could take an indeterminate length of time.

However, if he can refresh the Ice Spirit Root and then break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he’ll have the chance to refine the Profound Ice Flame.

The Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique is nearing the breakthrough at Volume Two, Second Layer.

This is also what Chu Ning anticipates.

With every enhancement in the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique Second Volume and Second Layer, the body strengthens, and lifespan increases by ten percent with each derivation.

Chu Ning has now cultivated up to the Sixth Derivation. If this breakthrough occurs, the Sixth Derivation will be complete, extending his lifespan by sixty percent.

Of course, he doesn’t yet feel troubled by lifespan constraints, being still very young.

However, the breakthrough of Volume Two, Second Layer, might also bring about a Divine Power Secret Technique.

This is what Chu Ning looks forward to, considering the First Layer had bestowed him the Void Finger, such a Divine Power Secret Technique.

Every breakthrough in the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique strengthens his physical body, enhancing all related secret technique powers.

Like the Undying Golden Body, without cultivating the Second Volume, he couldn’t have withstood that attack from the Outer Celestial Demon back then.

Since both techniques are approaching a small breakthrough point, Chu Ning naturally opted for secluded cultivation.

He first takes out the Snow Crystal Mushroom Spiritual Liquid, consuming it and begins cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Technique.

So far, for Chu Ning, cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Technique after consuming the Ten Thousand Year Snow Crystal Mushroom Spiritual Liquid and combining it with the refinement of his dual spirit seeds is the fastest method to increase cultivation speed.

This approach allows him not to allocate a portion of spiritual qi to form that peculiar energy.

After ten days had passed during this cultivation,

until the Snow Crystal Mushroom Spiritual Liquid was completely refined, Chu Ning finally opened his eyes, waking from meditation.

And a slight smile appeared on his face.

"The speculation was correct!"

At this moment, looking at the cultivation proficiency in his mind,

[Five Elements Chaos Technique (Celestial Tier Middle Grade), Third Layer (100000/200000)]

[Talent refreshed, rewarded talent "Ice Spirit Root"]

Just as Chu Ning had anticipated, the awakening of the Ice Spirit Root talent occurred when the cultivation of the Five Elements Chaos Technique Third Layer was halfway through.

"The first condition for refining the Profound Ice Flame has been met, now it just depends on when I break through to the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Chu Ning smiled slightly, stood up, and took an Origin Stone from his storage bag, simultaneously cultivating both the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique and the Five Elements Chaos Technique.

Despite only needing to improve the cultivation pace of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Chu Ning chose dual cultivation at this moment.

He wouldn’t waste such a good opportunity.

Cultivating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique can’t be done in one breath like the Five Elements Chaos Technique.

But in the following three days, Chu Ning mainly practiced dual cultivation.

Until noon on the third day.

"Boom!"

With the familiar feeling of opening shackles inside his body, Chu Ning immediately stopped cultivating.

This feeling signaled that the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique’s Second Volume, Second Layer had reached perfection.

Indeed, when Chu Ning focused back on the cultivation progress in his mind,

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

Followed by another line,

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Second Volume, Second Layer perfected, refreshed Divine Power Secret Technique "Void Escape"]

Meanwhile, the method for cultivating the Void Escape Secret Technique had already appeared in Chu Ning’s mind.

Since entering the Second Volume of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, the refreshed divine secret techniques couldn’t be directly mastered and required Chu Ning to cultivate himself.

Like the Void Finger, the Void Escape would also need Chu Ning’s personal cultivation to master.

But upon examining the cultivation method for this technique, Chu Ning’s eyes were filled with surprise and delight.

This Void Escape, in simple words, translates to two words: instant teleportation!

Currently, all the escape techniques Chu Ning practices, including the powerful ones he knows, are traceable in essence.

It’s just that these escape techniques’ high-grade casting and speed are so fast that without powerful divine sense, they are undetectable.

However, like the Void Finger, this Void Escape can utilize the power of space to shift his body from one location to another.

Though initially, this distance might be very short, even difficult to reach a single zhang at first.

Yet, such a heaven-defying secret technique that can truly achieve instant teleportation delights Chu Ning immensely.

"Void Escape, this heaven-defying secret technique, no matter how difficult to cultivate, must be mastered!"

Chu Ning’s eyes at this moment were filled with unwavering determination.
