Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

The last cultivator of the Thousand Skill Pavilion at the rear couldn’t dodge in time and was directly swallowed by the spatial rift.

For a moment, everyone’s hearts sank involuntarily.

At this moment, Chu Ning remained silent, yet his heart grew increasingly vigilant.

"This spatial rift appeared really fast; my divine sense had just detected it, and then it appeared immediately after.

The time left for me to react was not even a single breath."

Yuan Zhuo sighed lightly at this moment:

"Let’s go, everyone be careful, and try to use your spiritual sense to detect the changes around you as much as possible.

I can only sense the already appeared spatial rifts. If a new rift suddenly appears, even I won’t have time to warn you."

As he said this, Yuan Zhuo looked towards Chu Ning.

Obviously, this remark was meant for Chu Ning to hear.

Chu Ning nodded towards him, indicating that he would be careful.

The group continued to fly forward slowly.

As they ventured deeper, the spatial rifts became more numerous, and their speed decreased further.

After spending quite a bit of time, they had only flown about two or three hundred zhang forward.

Yet the white mist stretched endlessly ahead.

"These spatial rifts are becoming more frequent. Who knows how much farther the way ahead is."

This thought flashed through Chu Ning’s mind.

The next moment, his divine sense suddenly detected something.

"A spatial rift is appearing!"

With a slight chilling feeling in his heart, Chu Ning flew towards the side and behind.

Since Shi Xuerong was blocking his side, Chu Ning instinctively grabbed her and flew away together.

Just as the two had flown away, in the next instant, the space where they stood before returned to normal after a ripple.

But the spiritual sense of the cultivators could clearly sense a gigantic spatial rift there.

This rift was even larger than all the ones they had encountered before.

It now separated Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong from the others.

Seeing this scene, both Yuan Zhuo and Jia Yumin’s expressions changed drastically.

Shi Xuerong, recalling the moment before, couldn’t help but color drain from her face in fright.

"Junior Brother Chu, are you okay?"

At this moment, Yuan Zhuo didn’t dare to approach and could only shout in inquiry.

"I’m fine!"

Chu Ning replied while a serious look flashed in his eyes.

"However, this spatial rift is too big. If we want to bypass it, it might be very difficult."

The others quickly realized this as well.

With the appearance of this massive and seemingly endless spatial rift, the remaining seven were forced to split into three groups.

Yuan Zhuo and Jia Yumin were in one group, Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong in another, while the remaining Golden Core Late Stage cultivator was with three others.

At this moment, Yuan Zhuo furrowed his brow slightly and said:

"We’ll try our best to walk in the same direction first to see if we can eventually bypass the rift and regroup."

"That’s all we can do!" Chu Ning nodded.

At this point, Jia Yumin spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, your divine sense is strong, please take care of Junior Sister a bit."

During that critical moment just now, even Jia Yumin hadn’t noticed the emergence of that spatial rift.

But Chu Ning was able to lead Shi Xuerong away from it.

Jia Yumin couldn’t help but suspect that Chu Ning’s divine sense might be stronger than hers.

Despite being surprised by Chu Ning’s strong divine sense as a newly advanced Golden Core Cultivator,

she felt relieved, considering Shi Xuerong was with him.

Hearing this, Chu Ning remembered that he was still holding Shi Xuerong’s jade hand and immediately released it.

Then he said to Jia Yumin:

"I’ll do my best!"

While speaking, Chu Ning couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

There were so many spatial rifts here, even with a strong divine sense,

it’s hard to avoid every mistake.

Ensuring his own safety was already his limit, and it’s uncertain how much he could help Shi Xuerong.

Once again, the three groups began flying in different directions.

Chu Ning fully released his divine sense, sensing the surrounding environment.

Then he carefully led Shi Xuerong forward, and after barely twenty zhang, he discovered another spatial rift, forcing them to change direction again to avoid it.

"Fellow Daoist Chu!" At this moment, Shi Xuerong, beside him, suddenly spoke up.

Hearing her call, Chu Ning turned his head.

After a hint of hesitation crossed her face, Shi Xuerong turned to look at Chu Ning with a gentle gaze.

"Can you hold my hand as we walk? I’m worried another spatial rift might appear suddenly, and I won’t be able to dodge in time."

As she spoke, Shi Xuerong lifted her jade hand slightly and offered it to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning’s gaze moved from Shi Xuerong’s beautiful face to her extended hand.

Without hesitation, and without being overly ceremonious, he directly grabbed her forearm.

Earlier, in the heat of the moment, Chu Ning grabbed her without thinking much.

Now holding her arm, even through the thin magic robe, he could feel the delicate texture of her skin.

Despite Chu Ning’s strong resolve, he couldn’t help but feel a slight difference.

But he quickly pulled his heart spirit together, carefully using his divine sense to explore for spatial rifts.

Shi Xuerong, being led forward by him, noticed that instead of grabbing her hand, Chu Ning was holding her arm;

she let out a small breath of relief.

Yet, when Chu Ning turned back around to move forward, her cheeks inevitably flushed slightly.

But soon enough, she returned to her normal self.

She too released her divine sense carefully to examine around her.

Shi Xuerong was, after all, a Golden Core Cultivator; she naturally understood that in such a place, she couldn’t completely rely on someone else for her life.

But Chu Ning’s earlier ability to detect the upcoming spatial rift

provided her with a significant sense of security.

The two of them moved forward slowly.

Their initial intent was naturally to reunite with Yuan Zhuo and the others, but as they moved, it proved impossible.

The randomly distributed spatial rifts forced Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong continually to shift their course.

Naturally, they ended up much further from their initial target.

After they traveled several hundred zhang, they had long diverged from Yuan Zhuo and the others’ direction.

The two could only rely on the density of the Spiritual Qi to determine their direction.

Along the way, another spatial rift appeared suddenly like before.

Since Chu Ning had been paying attention all along, and holding Shi Xuerong’s arm, he was able to lead her to safety once again.

This left Shi Xuerong feeling relieved and lucky about her decision.

The two kept changing directions and after seemingly having circled about three to four thousand zhang, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

They had finally pierced through the Spiritual Qi mist, arriving above a lowland area.
