Chapter 767 - 318: Immortal Seed
"Alright, considering the deep affection between you and your spouse, and that this venture wasn’t entirely fruitless, I’ll agree to it."
Upon hearing this from Chu Ning, Feng Yanzhang’s face immediately lit up with joy.
"Thank you, Senior!"
"Let’s go! We’ll discuss further outside." Chu Ning waved his hand at this moment and started walking out.
Feng Yanzhang naturally followed quickly.
Arriving at the cave entrance, Chu Ning performed a series of spells, much like when he arrived, and soon reopened the restriction.
The small white figure watched Chu Ning’s familiar technique, its eyes darting around quickly on its small face.
"You are so familiar with the formation breaking technique of the Celestial Curtain Continent?"
Chu Ning glanced at the small white figure in his hand after hearing this.
When he was breaking this array, he speculated that the person inside was related to the Celestial Curtain Continent.
It now seems certain that the cultivator with the dried bones and the owner of this Nascent Soul remnant soul in his hand both came from the Celestial Curtain Continent.
At this moment, a trace of realization flashed through Feng Yanzhang’s eyes, but he said nothing.
The two of them quickly exited the cave, performed Earth Escape, and headed out of the ice mountain.
And just after their figures disappeared from the cave, a charming laugh sounded, and Bai Ling’s figure appeared.
Then she returned to her original form, entered the depths of the cave, and her figure flashed into the ice mountain.
Meanwhile, Chu Ning and Feng Yanzhang, after a bit of time, returned outside the ice mountain.
At this moment, Chu Ning turned to Feng Yanzhang and said:
"Fellow Daoist Feng, we’re not in a hurry to leave, let me ask him some questions first."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yanzhang was a bit surprised, but he understood that Chu Ning was showing him through his actions that he wasn’t deliberately trying to extract information about the treasure without informing him.
Since Chu Ning had done so much, Feng Yanzhang immediately and wisely said:
"Alright, Senior, I’ll wait over here."
Saying this, Feng Yanzhang flew more than ten feet away, then casually set up a barrier and began meditating to adjust his breath.
Seeing Feng Yanzhang’s actions, Chu Ning felt somewhat satisfied.
This one was indeed sensible.
However, at this moment, Chu Ning still casually set up a barrier restriction, then turned to the small white figure and said:
"Now you can tell me about your background."
The small white figure seemed to understand that its life was now in Chu Ning’s hands and spoke honestly:
"I and that fellow inside both come from the Celestial Curtain Continent, belonging to two different sects among the Nine Great Sects of the Celestial Curtain Continent. I am from the Blood Demon Sect, and that guy is from the Holy Sun Sect.
We could be considered rivals."
"Nine Great Sects of the Celestial Curtain Continent." Chu Ning asked with mild curiosity:
"What was your cultivation level when you were alive?"
"Nascent Soul Late Stage!" The small white figure replied proudly.
"If it weren’t for being trapped here for nearly ten thousand years, with my soul power greatly diminished, even a Nascent Soul remnant soul wouldn’t be something a junior like you could bully."
"Nascent Soul Late Stage?" Chu Ning was slightly shocked upon hearing this.
"Both of you being Nascent Soul Late Stage, how could you be so severely injured and fall?"
"What do you know?" The small white figure’s tone was filled with complexity.
"Back when this Northern Cold Land was filled with Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators from various continents, there were as many as twenty or thirty.
If you add the Tier Ten Great Demons, there were even more.
After a chaotic battle, the casualties were enormous. Our physical bodies were severely damaged, and our Nascent Souls gravely injured, but others fared no better."
Chu Ning was even more shocked hearing this.
"There were twenty or thirty Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators alone? What brought you all here?"
"Why? There’s no harm in telling you." The small white figure smiled strangely at this moment.
"But once you hear it, if you ever reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage like us, you’ll only suffer more.
We came here for... the Immortal Seed!"
