Chapter 603 - 265: Crossing the Spiritual Mist
"Fellow Daoist Chu, how did you find out?"
Jia Yumin asked Chu Ning with some surprise.
"I just saw it with my own eyes."
Chu Ning did not hide it and explained how he had observed the two Celestial Extreme Alliance members entering the white mist from a hidden spot.
Jia Yumin and Shi Xuerong were somewhat surprised to hear that Chu Ning had managed to conceal himself right under the noses of two Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivators.
However, they also knew that this matter must be related to Chu Ning’s cultivation secrets, so they didn’t ask further.
Yuan Zhuo, on the other hand, knew that Chu Ning’s entire suite of divine techniques held many mysterious elements and was not too surprised by this.
Immediately, the group’s focus shifted onto the spatial rift within the white mist.
Jia Yumin’s expression was grim at this moment.
"I didn’t expect there to be a spatial rift here. Never mind Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators have no ability to resist when encountering a spatial rift."
Yuan Zhuo nodded at this moment and said:
"If it’s a visible common spatial rift, there might be a chance for people to enter.
If it’s an invisible spatial rift, then there’s almost no chance."
Chu Ning was a bit taken aback by these words and asked Yuan Zhuo:
"Senior Brother Yuan, when you say visible and invisible spatial rifts, what do you mean..."
Having just recently reached Core Formation, he knew very little about such matters.
Yuan Zhuo explained at this moment:
"Most spatial rifts cannot be seen directly with the naked eye, but a cultivator’s divine sense exploration can detect some spatial rifts.
We call such spatial rifts visible spatial rifts.
If even divine sense cannot detect it, then it’s called an invisible spatial rift.
These can only be discovered with some special divine power secret techniques."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning finally understood.
Looking at Jia Yumin and Shi Xuerong’s expressions, they seemed to have no doubts about this, indicating they were already familiar with the concept.
At this time, Yuan Zhuo continued:
"However, even for visible spatial rifts, most can only be sensed with divine sense when you get close.
With the divine sense of a Golden Core Stage cultivator, the sensing range is generally between ten to twenty meters."
Chu Ning nodded, realizing:
"No wonder I also used divine sense to probe just now, but didn’t find anything."
Chu Ning’s current divine sense was enough to extend five thousand meters outward, so he could easily sense the peak.
Just now, however, his divine sense couldn’t detect anything unusual in the white mist.
"It seems it’s necessary to go up and take a look." Yuan Zhuo glanced towards the peak of the mountain.
Just then, Shi Xuerong exclaimed:
"Look quickly!"
Following her gaze, Chu Ning and the others saw a figure from the Celestial Extreme Alliance flying away.
It was a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator who had arrived later from the Celestial Extreme Alliance.
Clearly, upon realizing there was a spatial rift, this person had the same thought as Yuan Zhuo, intending to go up and take a look.
Thus, at this moment, the group did not rush into action but continued observing the movements of the others.
Even the people from the Demon Alliance were doing the same.
This Golden Core Late Stage cultivator of the Celestial Extreme Alliance was evidently more cautious than the female cultivator Liao and the short-haired man.
Before flying into the white mist at the mountain top, he didn’t rush in.
Instead, he flew around the white mist for about a hundred meters, seemingly probing for something.
Only then did he find a spot in the middle and fly in.
"It seems there’s a visible spatial rift in there."
Seeing this, Yuan Zhuo’s eyes gleamed slightly, then he turned to Jia Yumin and said:
"Fellow Daoist Jia, let’s observe for a while, and if the people from Celestial Extreme Alliance and Demon Alliance both fly in later, it won’t be too late for us to go.
What do you think?"
Jia Qiaoyu nodded: "That sounds good; we should be cautious."
Thus, the four of them occasionally exchanged a few words while keeping an eye on the movements of the other two major forces.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Ning utilized telepathy to communicate with Yuan Zhuo:
"Senior Brother Yuan, I unintentionally saw Ao Langtian of the Daluo Sect walking with a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator with the surname Zou from the Black Cloud Sect.
They seemed quite familiar with each other, but I don’t know the reason."
Although unaware of the exact dealings between Ao Langtian and the Black Cloud Sect,
Chu Ning felt it was necessary to give a reminder.
Right now, he shared a common destiny with the Jiuhua Sect and even the Cloud Peak Alliance.
If the other party indeed harbored any conspiracy against the Cloud Peak Alliance, it was naturally essential to be cautious.
"Ao Langtian with people from the Black Cloud Sect?" Yuan Zhuo was visibly shocked upon hearing Chu Ning’s words.
Chu Ning nodded slightly, then roughly described the appearance of the thin old man with the surname Zou.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhuo immediately said, "That is the Great Protector Zou Qitang from the Black Cloud Sect.
This matter should still be mentioned to Fellow Daoist Jia."
Chu Ning naturally agreed to this, as the Primordial Sect was the most powerful sect within the Cloud Peak Alliance.
Having entered the Spirit Realm this time, the leader of the Cloud Peak Alliance was one of the two Golden Core Late Stage cultivators of the Primordial Sect, He Feng.
This person’s cultivation was slightly weaker than Yu Changge and Jiang Cheng, but he was famous for specializing in the Gold Attribute Cultivation Method, making him known for his offensive power.
Within the alliance, his reputation was no less than that of Yu Changge and Jiang Cheng.
When Jia Yumin heard what Yuan Zhuo and Chu Ning said, she was also deeply astonished.
She hurriedly asked for more details.
Chu Ning simply stated that he had seen the two from afar, then used a secret technique to conceal himself and was unaware of the specific interactions between the two.
However, even so, Jia Yumin’s expression was very solemn at this moment.
