Chapter 636 - 276: Power of Origin
No-Spirit Island, Beast Mountain Forbidden Land.
Chu Ning stood outside the forbidden land of nearly a hundred miles, his gaze fixed on the space force hurricane ahead, which was slightly smaller than before.
A flash of seriousness crossed his eyes, then he resolutely stepped towards the mountain.
At this time, it had been half a year since he arrived at No-Spirit Island.
Since obtaining the related information from the writings left by the Nascent Soul Cultivator named Qi Lihua half a year ago.
In the subsequent half year, Chu Ning went up Hundred Beasts Mountain several times.
He almost plundered the mountain of its various demon beasts.
He obtained a large number of beast crystals of various attributes, and almost all the gold attribute ones were kept.
Given to Shi Xuerong, so she could later condense a bit of magical power.
Apart from her own storage bag, he also needed to consider helping Chu Ning open storage bags.
Of course, this has to happen after Chu Ning enters the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land.
Because only by exploring what’s inside can he know if the storage bags contain anything helpful.
As for the other attributes of beast crystals, Chu Ning used them for body refinement.
Though Qi Lihua thought that a body strength comparable to the Golden Core Realm could resist that power of space,
Chu Ning knew that the higher the body strength, the better.
After learning how to refine the body using beast crystals from two tribes,
in this half-year, he never stopped cultivating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
Although he couldn’t run the cultivation in conjunction with spells,
the pure increase in body strength still led to a significant improvement in Chu Ning’s proficiency in the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
[Five Elements Chaos Technique (Celestial Tier Middle Grade), First Layer (8644/50000)]
[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume Two, First Layer (20511/45000)]
[Refining Spirit Technique, Fourth Layer (39345/64000)]
Compared to half a year ago, Chu Ning’s Five Elements Chaos Technique and Refining Spirit Technique naturally showed no improvement.
While the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique had nearly a 1000-point increase.
During this more than half a year, Chu Ning also repeatedly came to the outskirts of the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land.
After feeling the initial hurricane formed by the power of space, he knew that having Undying Golden Body level of body strength,
it was absolutely impossible to withstand that power of space.
Thus, he had to wait until after this space storm to come to the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land.
Chu Ning didn’t even attempt to enter in the brief moments before the power of space reformed after the storm.
He needed to explore inside, not just to enter, but to re-enter safely.
Until the moment when the hurricane of the power of space reformed, Chu Ning indeed felt the hurricane’s power was much smaller than before.
He believed it was likely he could withstand it.
Then he cautiously stepped toward the mountain interior.
As his body just made contact with the hurricane formed by the power of space, Chu Ning felt a massive pulling force acting on him.
It felt as if these forces wanted to pull every part of Chu Ning’s whole body into different spatial regions.
"Power of Space!"
It was the first time Chu Ning experienced this power, and his heart slightly tensed.
Then he continued to walk forward slowly.
What reassured Chu Ning slightly was that as he continued forward, this force indeed didn’t intensify noticeably.
Immediately, Chu Ning no longer hesitated and began to accelerate forward.
After all, there was only three days’ time.
After advancing two hundred feet, he found nothing but hurricanes; Chu Ning hadn’t discovered anything.
Now he could only grit his teeth and continue forward.
Another three hundred feet later, Chu Ning found himself above a deep chasm.
This chasm was vast and deep, and everywhere in sight was within its range.
Chu Ning focused and looked down, but his vision could not see the bottom.
Unable to use divine sense to probe, Chu Ning tried to go around the cliff but found that no matter how he circled, he couldn’t avoid the chasm.
Without delay, he began to climb down along the cliff.
"Although Qi Lihua didn’t make it to this cliff, his judgment was indeed correct.
Without body strength comparable to the Golden Core Realm, let alone that pulling force of the power of space earlier.
Even with the interference of this storm force here, it would be impossible to climb down this precipice."
Chu Ning thought to himself, but the next moment he suddenly paused, then showed a look of surprise on his face.
"No, the storm is still strong, but the power of space is gone.
This is more like a storm formed by another kind of energy, one I’ve never encountered before, but now seems familiar.
Beast Crystal!"
With these thoughts flashing by, Chu Ning stopped climbing down.
After descending more than ten feet, Chu Ning climbed back up to the cliff top.
Sure enough, the power of space he had felt before returned.
Now, Chu Ning carefully sensed the range of the cliff.
To his amazement, just by entering the cliff’s range, the power of space immediately disappeared.
Instead, it turned into another energy found in beast crystals.
"There is indeed a secret within the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land!"
Chu Ning began continuously climbing down, then discovered that the deeper he went, the denser this energy became, while the storm grew weaker.
After Chu Ning descended five hundred feet, he finally saw the cliff bottom vaguely just dozens of feet away.
At this point, there was no storm at all, but the energy was so dense that it almost astonished Chu Ning.
"If this energy is compared to Spiritual Qi, then I have never seen a place so dense with it."
