Chapter 638 - 276: Power of Origin (Part 3)
"Teleportation Array!"
Although he hadn’t deeply studied arrays, he could vaguely tell that this was a teleportation array.
However, the excitement in Chu Ning’s heart quickly faded.
This array seemed obviously to be neglected, damaged, and quite different from the teleportation arrays he had seen before.
"Makes sense, without spiritual energy, how could it teleport?"
Chu Ning mumbled to himself, reluctantly glanced at the teleportation array, and then walked to the stone bed.
"Words?"
Quickly, Chu Ning saw densely packed words on the stone bed.
"Nine Derivations!"
At a glance, Chu Ning saw the signature of these densely packed texts.
"Could it be that this was where the Nine Derivation Ascendant lived on No-Spirit Island?"
Realizing this point, Chu Ning’s heart couldn’t help but be moved.
Since the Nine Derivation Ascendant could arrive and leave, and even set up something like a teleportation array in this stone chamber,
it suggested that he might have truly mastered the secrets of this No-Spirit Island.
This might be the key to whether he could leave the island.
Immediately, Chu Ning started reading from the beginning.
"Spiritual Qi fills the heavens and the earth, spirit veins form, and cultivation becomes a practice of all living beings.
I entered the path through body refinement, gathering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within myself, transforming it for my use, creating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
Upon reaching the perfection of both body and Qi refining, there was no further progress, ultimately trapped within this realm.
Thus, I sought the ends of the earth, attempting to find power beyond the world’s constraints.
Traversing the Boundless Sea and climbing the Spirit Mountain yielded nothing.
Unintentionally discovering this island devoid of spiritual energy, yet containing another energy that aids in further body refinement, how delightful..."
As Chu Ning read these words, his eyes flickered continuously until he finished reading them all, and his expression became exceedingly complex.
In these texts, the Nine Derivation Ascendant meticulously recorded his insights on cultivation upon discovering this island.
And his conjectures regarding the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and some aspects of this place.
"According to the Nine Derivation Ascendant’s conjectures, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Celestial Derivation Realm is actually foreign.
It suddenly appeared in this realm under specific circumstances.
As the spiritual energy filled the heavens and earth, the original energy contained within this realm was overshadowed, even gradually disappearing.
The Nine Derivation Ascendant called it the Power of Origin, and he believed that the energy on this No-Spirit Island is the Power of Origin!"
Chu Ning was greatly surprised upon seeing this conjecture.
The Nine Derivation Ascendant even stated in the text that if one mastered the path of cultivation with the Power of Origin, one could achieve various incredible divine techniques.
He even researched how to utilize the Power of Origin to drive the Power of Space, just like the teleportation arrays and spatial magical artifacts outside the island.
He also studied how to use the Power of Origin to drive magical artifacts.
"Teleportation doesn’t solely rely on spiritual energy, as long as the Power of Space in the world can be driven.
That’s why the Nine Derivation Ascendant set up a teleportation array here, for convenience."
Chu Ning’s gaze swept over the corner of the stone chamber that he had just explored.
His earlier feeling was not wrong, that array setup was indeed a teleportation array.
Unlike the external teleportation arrays driven by Spirit Stones,
this teleportation array required Beast Crystals from the demon beasts on the island.
Of course, Beast Crystals were just the term for them on this island, the Nine Derivation Ascendant called them Source Stones.
Source Stones that contained the Power of Origin.
"So, the magical artifacts used by the tribes on No-Spirit Island were actually researched by the Nine Derivation Ascendant.
Essentially still borrowing the refining principles of external magical artifacts, no wonder Qi Lihua could comprehend the method to trigger the magical power within the body."
Chu Ning’s gaze at that moment fell on the array in the corner, subconsciously revealing a smile.
At least he now knew that he could definitely leave this island.
As long as this somewhat damaged teleportation array was repaired.
Chu Ning had never arranged a teleportation array, but now he didn’t need to set one up, merely repair it, which was quite hopeful.
The Nine Derivation Ascendant had already left behind the teleportation array driven by the Source Stone, different from ordinary teleportation arrays.
Chu Ning simply needed to thoroughly study normal teleportation arrays, naturally finding a way to repair this one.
"Back when Cen Zijin gave me those content on arrays, I remember it included many methods of setting up teleportation arrays.
Plus, after awakening the Array Spirit Body, I also obtained some Array Jade Scrolls from the Jiuhua Sect.
With my Array Spirit Body Talent, as long as I spend some time, it’s enough to find a way to repair this teleportation array.
I’m just worried about finding materials for setting up arrays, though I have several Golden Core cultivators’ storage bags, and even Qi Lihua was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Gathering these things, there is still a great deal of hope."
While mulling over these thoughts, Chu Ning approached the teleportation array and found a bracelet-like item nearby.
Then he left the stone chamber, quickly retracing his steps back.
To accomplish these things, he still needed Shi Xuerong’s help.
Only with her condensation of magical power could she assist him in retrieving those items from the storage bag.
Before this, if Shi Xuerong couldn’t enter here, it would involve quite a bit of complication.
But Chu Ning had also found a magical artifact left by the Nine Derivation Ascendant, specifically crafted to easily enter this forbidden land.
The Nine Derivation Ascendant crafted this item mainly for entering and exiting when the Power of Space was not weakened.
Now these days, the Power of Space was indeed weakening.
With this artifact, Chu Ning thought, even Shi Xuerong would likely be able to enter safely.
Retracing his steps, Chu Ning climbed back atop the cliff.
After attaching the Source Stone to the bracelet and wearing it, he indeed felt the Power of Space greatly diminish.
He immediately quickly exited the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land, heading straight for the Donglin Tribe.
Without lingering much, Chu Ning didn’t even explain too much to Xie Xianhai and the others.
After picking up Shi Xuerong, Chu Ning returned to the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land.
In the days that followed, no one on No-Spirit Island ever saw Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong again.
Everyone speculated they had entered the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land, perishing within.
This made the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land even more recognized by everyone on No-Spirit Island as a land of death.
Yet no one knew, in a small valley within this forbidden land, Chu Ning was constantly researching the Power of Origin and the Path of Array.
In a blink, five years had passed.
