Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning’s expression slightly paused.

He indeed had a way to extend his life span; the second volume of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique. With each derivation practiced, his life span could increase by a fraction.

However, letting Di Yan practice this now would be too late.

As for other treasures that could extend life span, he had none.

Hearing Chu Ning’s silence, Di Yan’s elderly voice carried a trace of anger.

"If you have nothing, then leave quickly!"

Chu Ning, seeing that soft tactics were ineffective, recalled what the jade scroll recorded about this person’s style, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Finally, he spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Di, I heard that you have quite the mastery in the Path of Array.

I am not as talented, but I have dabbled in the Path of Array and have learned a secret technique that is quite effective in breaking array restrictions.

Why don’t I seek your teachings on this?"

"You want to break my array?" Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Di Yan’s voice was filled with astonishment.

Chu Ning responded calmly, "That’s right, Mr. Chu wants to give it a try."

"Heh!" At this moment, Di Yan was so angry that he laughed instead.

"If you really can break my array and enter the island, then why not, I will give you this Star Core Sand."

"Good, agreed then." Chu Ning had been waiting for this statement from Di Yan.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Golden Thunder Eagle had already been taken into the Spirit Beast Bag.

At the same time, Chu Ning flew straight towards the island within.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from the island again, but there was no other action.

As Chu Ning flew into the island, he felt as though he had entered a mist of white fog, making the surroundings hard to discern.

But after a slight sense of it, Chu Ning realized this was just the outer layer of the array, mostly used for isolating and blocking sight, without any offensiveness.

At this moment, Chu Ning was in no hurry to forcefully break further inside. He wandered within the white fog.

Simultaneously, he expanded his divine sense completely.

He also exercised his Array Spirit Body Talent to analyze this array.

This was just an outer restriction layer and naturally not very complex.

With Chu Ning’s current array mastery, coupled with his Array Spirit Body Talent, he soon understood the general structure of this array.

Chu Ning turned to a spot, paused to carefully sense it, and then cast several spells upon the restriction before him.

Soon, a gap passage appeared within the restriction.

Chu Ning then casually stepped through it.

Upon entering the second layer of restriction, Chu Ning sensed several attacks coming his way.

His body surged with magical power, immediately casting the Earth Spirit Rock Armor Technique.

The swift attacks fell upon the armor and instantly scattered away.

However, Chu Ning still sensed the Power of the Five Elements within.

"It actually condensed attacks of different Five Elements attributes..."

This thought had just crossed his mind when he saw several cyan lights shooting towards him.

"Wood Attribute Attack Technique?"

Seeing this attack swiftly approaching, transforming from the different Five Elements attributes to entirely Wood Attribute Attack, Chu Ning couldn’t help but be slightly amazed.

"Could it be the array recognizes I’m using an Earth Attribute Defense Technique,

therefore using the principle of wood overcoming earth to transform into a Wood Attribute Attack?

It’s unclear if this change is automatic by the array or driven by Di Yan."

While pondering this, Chu Ning did not slow his actions.

With a flick of his wrist, a Fiery Sun Spirit Bird manifested, shattering the incoming cyan lights one by one.

Then, Chu Ning continued to move through the array, sensing and analyzing it.

As time went on, as Chu Ning defended against more spells, the power of the attacks continuously increased.

However, regardless of how the attacks changed, Chu Ning could fend them all off.

At this moment, Chu Ning’s observation and analysis of the array had already yielded some clues.

He wasn’t aiming to completely unravel this array and clear the Path of Array.

He merely needed to find a weak point.

This was much easier than analyzing the entire Path of Array.

"This layer’s restriction imitates the Power of the Five Elements, cycles of generation and restraint, but the fusion of the Five Elements is not so easily achieved."

Chu Ning murmured internally, standing before the restriction and casting several spells once more.

This time, it was noticeably more difficult compared to the outer layer.

But with some effort, Chu Ning still managed to break through the restriction.

"Wind and Thunder Power!"

Upon entering the next layer, Chu Ning immediately sensed the changes around him.

His heart couldn’t help but stir slightly.

Stepping left, a gust of wind suddenly rose, the intense wind seemed like it was about to tear a person into pieces.

"This kind of wind power is indeed different from the storm formed by the Power of Space."

Chu Ning muttered internally and took a step back, then stepped to the right.

Suddenly, streaks of lightning arcs descended from the sky.

Seeing this, Chu Ning’s eyes brightened slightly. Instead of retreating, he advanced another step.

Suddenly, a lightning arc directly struck down towards Chu Ning.

At this moment, Chu Ning activated the Earth Rock Spirit Armor Technique and sensed for a moment — the next instant, however, he directly withdrew the Earth Rock Spirit Armor Technique.

He instead activated the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

Soon, Chu Ning felt the thunderbolt power entering his body, then rapidly being refined as the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique operated.

"As expected, thunderbolt power can be refined by the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique for body tempering.

However, the thunderbolt power here is still too weak."

Chu Ning’s eyes shone brightly as he continued forward.

As he advanced, the thunderbolt power indeed grew stronger.

When Chu Ning advanced about a hundred meters, he had to pause to slightly adjust.

Allowing the thunderbolt power to strike his body, Chu Ning continuously operated the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

At that moment, the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique could not completely refine the thunderbolt power immediately.

A small portion still settled within his body.

Chu Ning lightly raised an eyebrow — he was practicing the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, but didn’t stop analyzing the array.

He could clearly feel that as he delved deeper, the thunderbolt power grew stronger, and the breakthrough point in the array restriction was getting closer and closer.

"It seems that to break this restriction, I still have to go further in.

Just right, to see how strong my physical body is now, how much thunderbolt power it can withstand!"

Thinking this way, Chu Ning stepped forward and continued onward.
