Chapter 832 - 340: Annihilation of Nascent Soul Cultivators

Feeling his Divine Sense and Magical Power suddenly become unusable, Chu Ning was instantly shocked.

This situation had only happened to him once before, and that was on the No-Spirit Island.

"Master, my Magical Power doesn’t work anymore."

Bai Ling also slipped out from Chu Ning’s sleeve at this moment, her face full of shock and doubt.

"This feeling is so similar to back on that No-Spirit Island."

"Could it be that we somehow ended up back on that No-Spirit Island?"

Chu Ning’s heart sank slightly, and he said to Bai Ling:

"We’ll know once we go out and take a look."

His gaze carefully swept around the cave, then quickly fell on the base of one of the stone pillars.

"Origin Stone!"

Chu Ning walked to the base of that stone pillar, looking at the Origin Stone that was as large as two fists, and couldn’t help feeling greatly astonished.

Previously, he had also obtained quite a few Origin Stones on the No-Spirit Island.

But those were all Beast Crystals formed inside Demon Beasts, and the largest had only been about the size of a duck egg.

This was the first time he had encountered an Origin Stone this big.

And furthermore, it wasn’t inside a Demon Beast.

Feeling deeply puzzled, Chu Ning probed a little; since there was no Array or anything of the sort here, he felt assured enough to start digging with his bare hands.

The rock here was hard, but to Chu Ning, whose physical body had already been cultivated with the Second Layer of Volume Two of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique and was comparable to a Magical Treasure—

Those huge stones were not much different from tofu in his hands.

Easily prying up this Origin Stone, Chu Ning searched the stone cave once more, and when he found nothing else—

He followed the slanting passage upward.

But upon stepping into that passage, Chu Ning suddenly felt a suppressive force.

As if trying to force his entire body back down into the cave.

Chu Ning had to rely on his fleshly body to withstand it, only then barely stabilizing his stance.

"Power of Origin!"

Feeling the Attribute of this force, Chu Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.

Back then, in the deep valley of the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land on the No-Spirit Island, Chu Ning had stayed for five full years, and was all too familiar with this kind of force.

Bracing himself against this force, Chu Ning walked upward. Though strong, given the toughness of his fleshly body, it didn’t affect him much.

He could even, if he wished, use Thunder Shock Step or the Shadow Fall Step he had learned on the No-Spirit Island to move even faster.

But at this moment, Chu Ning still advanced at a normal walking pace.

At the same time, his gaze swept the surrounding stone walls and ground, watching for the presence of any Origin Stones.

Since such powerful Power of Origin existed here, and there were Origin Stones in the cave at the bottom, the odds of finding more Origin Stones weren’t low.

Moreover, people of the Cultivation Realm might not even know of these Origin Stones.

Even if Nascent Soul Cultivators passed through, without Divine Sense and Magical Power to probe, they might not pay any attention to these Origin Stones.

And things went just as Chu Ning had expected: after walking less than three hundred zhang forward, he discovered another Origin Stone.

This Origin Stone wasn’t as big as the one at the bottom of the cave, but it was still about duck-egg size.

Naturally, Chu Ning dug it out as well.

After walking two thousand zhang like this, Chu Ning had already obtained five Origin Stones one after another, and he could feel the oppressive Power of Origin growing stronger and stronger.

It seemed that ahead, there was some place where Power of Origin was being born.

With his curiosity growing, Chu Ning’s steps quickened somewhat.

But after rounding a bend like this, his steps unconsciously came to a halt.

In front of him, three figures were currently trudging forward with difficulty.

Two in front, one behind.

The two walking at the very front were exactly the two Nascent Soul Independent Cultivators Chu Ning knew had entered this passage earlier: a skinny old man and a plump middle-aged Cultivator.

And the one lagging behind was actually Shang Song of Changkong Hall.

At this moment, the three had also sensed the commotion from behind and all turned their heads to look.

The two Nascent Soul Independent Cultivators were fine, but when Chu Ning and Shang Song’s eyes met, both showed a slight pause in expression.

"Chu Ning?"

Shang Song looked at Chu Ning with deep meaning in his eyes, full of complex emotions.

Ever since seeing Chu Ning in the Inner Hall, he had never let go of his suspicions about him.

Feeling Shang Song’s gaze, a trace of unusual color also flashed through Chu Ning’s eyes.

He truly hadn’t noticed that Shang Song had entered this passage as well.

When that Divine Platform had just exploded, the scene had been chaotic.

More than ten Nascent Soul Cultivators had entered different arched passages.

And Chu Ning had gone to take that streaking ball of light, and hadn’t paid attention to which Nascent Soul Cultator had come in.

He hadn’t expected it to be Shang Song.

Chu Ning stopped walking and said calmly:

"Elder Shang, I hadn’t expected to find you here as well."

There were three Nascent Soul Cultivators ahead, yet at this moment, his heart was incomparably calm.

In this place, Magical Power and Divine Sense could not be used; even Nascent Soul Cultivators couldn’t exert their full strength.

On the contrary, with Chu Ning’s proficiency in Body Refinement, if he wished, he could do many things.

Shang Song clearly didn’t realize this; Chu Ning had just turned the corner, and he hadn’t seen how Chu Ning had been easily advancing against the heavy pressure of the Power of Origin.

Now, hearing Chu Ning’s words, he turned his body to look at Chu Ning and said:

"I also hadn’t expected you to choose this passage, and to arrive so quickly.

Tantai Song and Li Bailin actually failed to kill you in that hall; that’s quite beyond my expectations.

Looks like Li Bailin was right—you really aren’t an ordinary Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator."
