Chapter 753 - 314: Feeling Completely Drained
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning’s face showed a hint of surprise.
No wonder he had no idea what it was before; he had never heard of it until now.
"I only learned that the Illusion Spirit Sect’s Young Sect Leader had it, but I didn’t know exactly what it was called."
Bai Ling pondered for a moment and said:
"There is an introduction to this object in my inherited memories.
This Cold Marrow Bead is born from Cold Jade and can only exist in an Extremely Cold Place."
"Extremely Cold Place." Chu Ning nodded after listening and said:
"This Northern Cold Land should be the place with the most Extremely Cold Places in the entire Celestial Derivation Realm.
I will keep an eye out for it."
After saying this, Chu Ning turned to Bai Ling and said:
"I’ve sent Da Jin and Xiao Jin out to find food; you should go and take a look too.
We’ll stay here for a few days, and I’ll take the opportunity to cultivate the new Escape Technique I just learned."
"Okay, Young Master."
After responding, Bai Ling reverted to her true form, flapped her wings, and flew away.
The Spirit Island here had sparse Spiritual Qi and was in the Inner Sea, so no Great Demons would appear.
Chu Ning didn’t need to worry too much. After Bai Ling left, he sat down and began to recover his Magical Power.
When he tried that Ancient Saber just now, his Magical Power was already depleted by ninety percent.
Now, to cultivate this Phantom Escape, which consumed a lot of Magical Power, he needed to recover first.
Since he wasn’t in a hurry, he naturally wouldn’t waste that Thousand-Year Spirit Milk easily.
He meditated for a few hours until his Magical Power was restored.
Chu Ning began to cultivate Phantom Escape above the small island.
He turned into a blue silhouette, flying through the air continuously.
At first, the speed was slow, and a blue trail was visible.
But gradually, as he sped up, no traces of flying escape could be seen.
One moment the human figure had just dispersed, and in the next, Chu Ning’s figure appeared at another point.
Chu Ning trained for a full half-day and felt he had preliminarily mastered the Phantom Escape.
Only then did he stop cultivating.
Of course, to make it faster and the phantoms more realistic, further cultivation would be needed.
But at this moment, Chu Ning could no longer continue cultivating. The reason was simple: he felt completely exhausted.
The Magical Power consumption was too high.
"Indeed, using Phantom Escape consumes a lot of Magical Power. Every time during this half-day I practiced, I had to stop to recover my Magical Power.
But even so, it consumed ninety percent of my Magical Power.
If I were to use it fully, with my current depth of Magical Power, I could only sustain it for at most half an hour."
After murmuring softly, Chu Ning prepared to sit down again to restore his Magical Power.
However, he suddenly froze for a moment.
Why hadn’t Bai Ling and the two Golden Thunder Eagles returned yet?
He had spent almost a day in total.
Thinking this, Chu Ning spread out his Divine Sense, extending it outward.
With his Spiritual Sense Strength, he could already cover the entire small island.
But to Chu Ning’s surprise, he did not find any trace of the three Spirit Beasts; instead, his Divine Sense was blocked when it touched a certain area.
"Hmm? An Array?"
Chu Ning’s expression changed, and his body immediately turned into a blue silhouette, rushing towards it.
It wasn’t long before Chu Ning entered the array.
After a slight perception, Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there was an array here, it wasn’t particularly advanced.
Such an array shouldn’t be able to trap Bai Ling.
Just as Chu Ning was about to break into the array.
With a flash of white light, Bai Ling had already emerged from within the array.
Once out of the array, Bai Ling transformed into human form.
Upon seeing Chu Ning, she immediately smiled and asked, "Oh, Young Master, you came too?"
"Yes, why were you here for so long?"
Chu Ning nodded, then asked with a bit of confusion:
"Where are Da Jin and Xiao Jin?"
"The two of them are inside the array." Bai Ling said with a mischievous smile.
"This array is an Illusion Array. I saw Da Jin and Xiao Jin seemed quite happy when they entered, so I controlled the array to create some illusions.
Now they should be having a great time."
"You can actually control the array?" Chu Ning’s expression changed slightly at this moment.
Bai Ling replied with a smile:
"I only discovered it today after trying it out when I saw this array. As long as it’s not too complex, if I break the Restriction, I can drive the array."
"Such extraordinary talent." Chu Ning shook his head with a sigh.
Although this array wasn’t that advanced, seeming more like a basic Illusion Array.
But Bai Ling, a Spirit Beast, not only could break the array but also control it.
This was just like human cultivators.
"Could it be that Ancient Spirit Beasts, or perhaps the Demon Race, when cultivated to a certain stage, also cultivate just like humans?"
Chu Ning had a vague guess.
After all, he was not of this world, and had seen many strange and bizarre things before traversing.
Thus, he had more ideas.
"Young Master, aren’t you curious about why I stayed in this array for so long?"
At this moment, Bai Ling spoke again with a smile.
Chu Ning was moved after hearing this.
"Is there some secret within the array?
Indeed, otherwise, why would such a central location on this deserted small island have an array set up?"
Bai Ling nodded at this time and said, "Young Master is right, but this array should have been unattended for a long time.
Many places have been damaged by Demon Beasts, and I think it’s been over ten years since anyone was here.
You should come with me to take a look."
