Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 525 - 239: Nascent Soul

Upon hearing the old man’s words, the cultivators of the Daluo Sect all looked slightly displeased.

The old man snorted softly at this moment and said:

"You’re handling things so timidly. You should have directly stopped Yu Changge back then and asked for the truth."

As he spoke, the old man glanced in the direction of the Jiuhua Sect, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes, with a tone full of confidence and pride.

"No need for such trouble. Just go directly to the Jiuhua Sect to clarify the situation.

Even if Tang Yu remained in secluded cultivation, even if he came out,

I’ll go there and make them explain. What tricks can the Jiuhua Sect possibly pull?"

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Ao Langtian and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, eagerness appeared on their faces.

Only a Nascent Soul Cultivator would have the confidence to say such things.

The old man then waved his hand and said:

"Foundation Establishment disciples don’t need to follow. All of you return to the sect. Langtian, you few come with me."

"Yes!"

Ao Langtian and the others promptly responded affirmatively.

The old man immediately released a treasure, carrying a few people, turning into a streak of light, flying straight towards the Jiuhua Sect.

...

Jiuhua Sect, Spirit Rock Peak.

Chu Ning was looking at the jade bone at the palm bone, a flicker in his eyes.

"In one month’s time, this piece of jade bone has roughly fused with one-fifth, increasing proficiency by 300 points.

It seems this jade bone can bring approximately 1500 points of proficiency to my Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique and Undying Golden Body.

However, the issue isn’t significant; this is just the smallest piece among them."

At the same time, Chu Ning’s gaze swept over his cultivation proficiency.

[Flame Divine Wood Technique (Profound Tier Upper Grade), Fourth Layer (1155/40000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Undying Golden Body (5300/10000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Fourth Layer (11677/64000)]

The fusion of the jade bone naturally provided the greatest enhancement to body refinement.

However, Qi Refining also benefitted somewhat. Over this month, the proficiency of the Flame Divine Wood Technique increased by over a hundred points compared to the normal increase.

Clearly, this was the ancillary effect of refining the jade bone.

While contemplating, Chu Ning was about to continue refining and cultivating.

At that moment, he felt an overwhelming pressure descend from above.

Even through the sect array and the array restriction of his cave mansion, Chu Ning felt extremely uncomfortable.

This involuntarily prompted a flicker of astonishment in Chu Ning’s eyes.

"Such pressure, even among cultivators like Yu Changge in the Golden Core Late Stage, I’ve never felt anything this intense. Could it be...

a Nascent Soul Cultivator?"

Thinking of this, Chu Ning could no longer sit still and walked out of the cave mansion.

Simultaneously, Yu Changge’s voice sounded in the air.

"Which senior has graced the visit to Jiuhua Sect? This junior, Yu Changge, apologizes for not welcoming you from afar."

Hearing Yu Changge addressing himself as "junior," Chu Ning immediately understood that his guess was correct; the visitor was indeed a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

At the same time, a somewhat domineering voice had already sounded.

"I am Sang Pingnan of the Daluo Sect!"

"Daluo Sect!"

Upon hearing the visitor’s identity, Chu Ning couldn’t help but exclaim.

At the same time, within various corners of the Jiuhua Sect, many of the Jiuluo Sect’s cultivators also emerged from their places of cultivation, exclaiming in surprise.

Like Chu Ning, they looked up towards the sky.

Above the Jiuhua Sect’s mountain gate, a figure stood in the sky.

This person seemed to do nothing, and though they stood at a distance,

the dominant and sharp aura emanating from them was clearly felt by everyone.

Chu Ning stared at the figure in the sky with a solemn look in his eyes.

"Sang Pingnan of the Daluo Sect, one of the two Early Stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Daluo Sect, is also thought to have a high chance of advancing to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul."

In facing a Golden Core Cultivator, he could remain composed.

But when confronted with such a cultivator, Chu Ning only felt that the opponent could obliterate him with a mere thought.

"Nascent Soul Cultivators are truly formidable!"

While marveling at this, Chu Ning also felt a chill run down his spine.

"Since joining the Jiuhua Sect, my cultivation has been too smooth. In addition to having divine sense comparable to an Early Stage Core Formation Cultivator, I possess numerous precious treasures.

I even killed an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator.

Unconsciously, I may have lost the caution I had before."

A hint of trepidation passed through Chu Ning’s mind.

"One must remember, there is always a taller mountain, a higher realm. I am not even at Core Formation yet.

Let alone a Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

Taking a deep breath, Chu Ning suppressed the trepidation in his heart and his gaze returned to calmness.

The visitor might be powerful, but naturally, he, at his cultivation level, did not need to confront them.

Just as Chu Ning was pondering this, Yu Changge had already flown up, also standing in the air.

However, Chu Ning also noticed that Yu Changge did not step outside the array restriction.

Clearly, even with his Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, Yu Changge was still quite apprehensive of Sang Pingnan.

"Ah, it’s an honor to have Senior Sang’s presence. This junior..."

Yu Changge had just started speaking when Sang Pingnan interrupted:

"Yu Changge, the rules for entering the ruins of Wolong Mountain were set by our sects’ competition.

Once inside, it’s all by luck. Why did your Jiuhua Sect disciples harm our sect disciples in secret?

Humph, do you really think our Daluo Sect is easy to bully?"

Sang Pingnan’s final words echoed like thunder, causing even Chu Ning’s heart spirit to tremble.

Yu Changge then solemnly replied:

"From what Senior Sang says, our Jiuhua Sect disciples who entered Wolong Mountain never encountered your sect’s disciples.

They have already returned to the sect a month ago. Why is Senior Sang asking about this now?"

"Never encountered our disciples?" Sang Pingnan snorted lightly at this point.

"That’s only your version of the story. Call out those ten or so disciples who came out of Wolong Mountain and let’s confront them."

As soon as Sang Pingnan said this, the faces of all the Jiuhua Sect cultivators changed drastically.

Yu Changge, however, remained composed and said:

"Those disciples are Foundation Establishment Cultivators. How could they have the qualification to speak before you, senior? If you have any concerns, please discuss them with me instead."

"You?" Sang Pingnan questioned lightly, then snorted coldly:

"Until you enter the Nascent Soul Stage, you are not qualified to speak to me as an equal."

"Sang Pingnan, he may not be qualified, but what about me?"

At that moment, an aged voice rang out in the air.

Following it, a figure slowly appeared in the sky.

It was a medium-built, white-haired elderly man clad in gray robes.

Unlike Sang Pingnan, this elder appeared to lack imposing momentum.

Yet standing there, he gave off a sense of having the entire world under his control.

"The Supreme Elder!!"

As soon as this voice appeared, exclamations erupted throughout the Jiuhua Sect.
