Chapter 634 - 275: A Ray of Hope_2
Arriving at the foot of the stone, Chu Ning introduced Shi Feng and Shi Xuerong to each other.
Then they followed Shi Feng to the Giant Stone Tribe.
The Giant Stone Tribe is nearly three hundred miles away from the Donglin Tribe, but with the speed of Chu Ning and his group, they naturally arrive quickly.
However, because Shi Xuerong is with them, they inevitably move a bit slower.
Fortunately, Shi Xuerong has undergone Golden Core Body Tempering and is not an ordinary frail woman.
After walking for about a day, the group arrived at the Giant Stone Tribe.
The people of the Giant Stone Tribe were very surprised to see Shi Feng and Tie Shi return with two outsiders.
Moreover, they addressed Chu Ning as a senior, which was even more astonishing.
However, Shi Feng did not let them disturb too much. After entering the stronghold of the Giant Stone Tribe, he directly led Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong to a separate stone cave.
"This place was where the senior Qi Lihua, who came to No-Spirit Island a thousand years ago, resided.
After our Giant Stone Tribe occupied this place, we have always taken care to guard it.
Except for the chief and some high-level members, no one else is allowed to enter.
Moreover, we lost interest in many of the things here after a period of study, so we don’t come often, and the items inside are relatively well-preserved."
Saying this, the first person of No-Spirit Island pushed open the stone gate of the cave and walked in first.
Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong walked in as well.
Soon, they discovered that this so-called stone cave is very similar in structure to the cave mansions of external cultivators.
The two couldn’t help but exchange a glance.
Then their gaze fell on the lines of characters on the stone cave wall, which were extremely conspicuous.
"My name is Qi Lihua, an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Zhengyang Pavilion of Beichuan Kingdom."
Just seeing the first part of the writing on the wall, the two involuntarily exclaimed.
"This person is actually a Nascent Soul Cultivator!"
This caused Chu Ning’s expression to become more solemn.
The other party is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, yet was trapped here for hundreds of years.
Leaving this island is definitely not an easy matter.
Without speaking, Chu Ning continued to read down.
What followed were records of this Nascent Soul Cultivator named Qi Lihua and his adaptation process upon first arriving here.
It also mentioned places like Beast Crystals and Hundred Beasts Mountain.
Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong were not very interested in these, so they read quickly.
"In the third year on No-Spirit Island, I finally gained the trust of the first tribe of No-Spirit Island, the Mengding Tribe. They supported me in truly searching for a way to leave this island."
At this point, Qi Lihua’s writing was filled with longing and hope, documenting the Nascent Soul Cultivator’s various attempts to find a way off the island.
The further they read, the more solemn Chu Ning’s expression became, as the other party had tried many methods.
One paragraph particularly caught Chu Ning’s attention.
"For several months, I asked the chief to kill a few Tier Four Demon Beasts, hoping to use their hides to make boats to enter the Boundless Sea.
However, it was useless. Whether ordinary wood or demon beast hide rafts, they sank immediately upon entering the Boundless Sea.
The Boundless Sea simply cannot support life."
Although Chu Ning had read some classics before, noting that nothing could float on the Boundless Sea, it was only now he truly confirmed this.
Further on, the cultivator continued his attempts.
Then Chu Ning spotted a line of large characters.
"Ten years! In ten years, I have traversed every place on No-Spirit Island except for the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land, attempting countless methods.
However, there is no exit, and my lifespan is already less than a hundred years!
Perhaps I can only die of old age on this No-Spirit Island, or... venture into that Beast Mountain Forbidden Land!"
Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong looked at each other, both feeling the slight despair of the former Nascent Soul Senior’s words.
"Could it be that we too are destined to die of old age here?"
Shi Xuerong muttered softly to herself at this moment.
Chu Ning did not respond but continued reading.
"The Beast Mountain Forbidden Land is not a place I can enter without Magical Power; the gales there are similar to the Power of Space on the spatial rift.
This Power of Space is not something Nascent Soul Cultivators dare to touch lightly; otherwise, certain death awaits.
Each space storm occurring approximately every six months might be my only chance..."
Chu Ning read through this section extremely carefully.
According to the record, those demon beasts were actually swept out by the Power of Space.
At the same time, this Power of Space would also bring some demon beasts into the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land.
Thus, higher-level demon beasts constantly appeared in the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land.
Moreover, after years of observation, this Nascent Soul Cultivator discovered some patterns.
After a space storm in the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land, the Power of Space would weaken significantly for about three days.
Hence, he prepared to venture into that Beast Mountain Forbidden Land.
However, when this Nascent Soul Cultivator finally got the chance to enter the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land, he found that the Power of Space was too formidable for his body to withstand after barely a hundred feet.
Consequently, he was forced to retreat from the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land.
But being a former Nascent Soul Cultivator, knowledgeable and experienced, he drew a conclusion.
"If the physical strength reaches a level comparable to the Golden Core Level, it should be possible to withstand that Power of Space within these three days."
Seeing this Nascent Soul Cultivator’s deduction, Chu Ning’s gaze instantly brightened.
He possesses the physical strength of the Golden Core Level.
