Chapter 764 - 318: Immortal Seed
Looking at the snow-covered mountain peak ahead, Chu Ning directly released his Divine Sense and probed inside.
"Huh?"
With a hint of surprise, Chu Ning felt the mountain's obvious weakening effect on Divine Sense.
However, his Spiritual Sense Strength far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. Although greatly weakened, he could still continue probing further.
Penetrating deep into the mountain's belly, he covered nearly a thousand feet, and the Divine Sense consumption was equivalent to extending outward by two hundred miles.
But similarly, this also allowed Chu Ning to touch upon an array restriction inside.
"Indeed, it's an ancient restriction," Chu Ning muttered softly at this moment.
Not only was it an ancient restriction, but Chu Ning even sensed some resemblance between this array and the one described in the Array Jade Scroll that Di Yan had provided, related to the arrays of the Celestial Curtain Continent.
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Feng Yanzhang showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Elder, your Divine Sense detected the array restriction?"
After Chu Ning nodded, Feng Yanzhang was filled with admiration internally.
"This Elder Li is indeed a Nascent Soul Cultivator, perhaps not even just an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
The weakening effect of this mountain on Divine Sense is very severe. I had attempted before and could only detect up to about a hundred feet.
And the weakest point of that array restriction is over a thousand feet. If I hadn't employed some special methods before, I wouldn't have known there was a cave mansion inside.
But now, Elder Li was able to easily detect it."
This made Feng Yanzhang even more wary of Chu Ning.
Yet, at this point, he seemed to have not many choices.
He proactively spoke:
"Elder, do you know the Earth Escape Technique? Do you need me to open a path first?"
"No need! Let's go in directly." Chu Ning shook his head at this moment.
He knew the Spirit Earth Shadow Escape Technique, and even though the iceberg seemed extremely hard,
since Feng Yanzhang could enter through it, naturally, he wouldn't have any problem.
And although the array restriction within the mountain was an ancient type, according to Chu Ning's judgment, it was more for concealment and isolation, lacking significant offensive power.
Given that, he wasn't too worried and decided to enter the array directly.
Moreover, Bai Ling was still in his sleeve. In case of any emergencies, Bai Ling could help him break the restriction if needed.
Hearing Chu Ning's decision, Feng Yanzhang first flew to the top of the iceberg, then used the Earth Escape Technique to drill into the iceberg.
Chu Ning, seeing this, also performed the Earth Escape Technique beside him.
At this time, they could both clearly feel their mutual differences in Magical Power and Escape Technique.
Feng Yanzhang was obviously cultivating an Earth Attribute Cultivation Technique, but within such an iceberg, his speed wasn't fast.
When they reached about five hundred feet deep, he even summoned a Magical Treasure, activating a Magical Power Shield around himself, and advanced with the aid of a shovel-shaped magical treasure.
Chu Ning, on the other hand, continued alongside him, even reaching the nearly thousand-foot range with ease, without relying on any magical treasure.
Feng Yanzhang saw this and, aside from continuing his admiration, showed no excessive expression.
Since he had already regarded Chu Ning as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, these things were no longer surprising to him.
"Elder, this is the entrance, but I am unable to break the array here."
At this moment, the two had arrived in front of a cave inside the mountain.
Ahead, a white, ice-jade-like door blocked their way.
Chu Ning observed its shape, noting its difference from ordinary cave mansions, bearing more resemblance to a tombstone.
An array restriction enshrouded it, and no matter how much time had passed, the white light of the restriction seemed unaffected.
Seeing this, Chu Ning cast several spells onto the restriction.
Carefully sensing it simultaneously.
After spending some time investigating, Chu Ning gained a rough understanding of the restriction.
"Although this array restriction lacks offensive power, it incorporates various Array Formation Methods.
If I hadn't previously obtained that Array Jade Scroll recording the Celestial Curtain Continent's inheritance from Di Yan, I probably wouldn't be able to break it."
Chu Ning muttered to himself.
Feng Yanzhang's inability to break it was unsurprising to him.
On the contrary, the deep concealment of the array restriction and the fact that the other managed to discover it surprised Chu Ning somewhat.
Since he had roughly grasped the Array Formation Method, breaking the array wasn't too difficult for Chu Ning.
He formed hand seals, continuously casting spells one after another.
Each one carried the Qi of Geng Metal, and as the spells landed on the restriction, it visibly weakened.
Until the restriction before them suddenly burst into a brilliant white light, blindingly radiant, causing Feng Yanzhang to close his eyes.
Once the dazzling white light dissipated, the restriction vanished, and a jade stone gradually rose.
Revealing a pitch-black entrance.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, you seem adept with such places; perhaps you should lead the way?"
Looking at the pitch-black entrance ahead, Chu Ning didn't rush to enter but spoke to Feng Yanzhang.
Even though Feng Yanzhang had indeed brought him here and cooperated the whole time,
Chu Ning, with his cautious nature, naturally never dropped his guard against Feng Yanzhang.
"Alright, Elder, please follow me."
Feng Yanzhang showed no hesitation, taking out a bead and entering first.
