Chapter 934: Dual Cultivation

“Only one can be consumed!”

Without any hesitation, Jiang Cheng replied decisively, which greatly surprised Chu Ning.

He immediately asked:

“Have others tried it?”

“Indeed.” Jiang Cheng nodded.

“According to the speculation of the Nascent Soul Seniors in the alliance, the reason the energy here can be refined by us is that it shares the same origin as Spiritual Qi. However, it may also contain other unknown forces.”

As Jiang Cheng spoke, he pointed to the Spirit Fruit of the Tree of Myriad Laws in Chu Ning’s hand.

“This spirit fruit can only form here every hundred years, after absorbing a huge amount of energy. Perhaps the Spiritual Qi within can be absorbed and refined by us, but the other forces cannot be refined, and may instead remain in our bodies, slowly nourishing and improving our physical forms. The retention of this power means just one spirit fruit should be our limit. It is said that thousands of years ago, a Nascent Soul cultivator consumed two spirit fruits in succession, but their body could not withstand the impact of the fruit’s energy and eventually exploded. Leaving only the Nascent Soul intact. So, Fellow Daoists, when consuming the spirit fruit later, be sure to prepare adequately.”

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, the cultivators’ expressions changed slightly.

Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t withstand the impact of the spirit fruit’s energy, let alone them as Golden Core cultivators.

Chu Ning, upon hearing, had a slight gleam in his eyes.

He said calmly:

“Had I known earlier, I should have picked just eight, leaving the remaining two for the Nascent Soul seniors, letting them absorb and refine.”

Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Jiang Cheng was slightly taken aback, and showed a look of guilt saying:

“Fellow Daoist Chu is thoughtful, this matter was indeed something Mr. Jiang failed to remind of in time.”

“No problem!”

Chu Ning shook his head at this moment and said.

“Once you all have divided the spirit fruits later, I will go below the Tree of Myriad Laws to cultivate. See if by borrowing the spirit tree’s surroundings, I can preserve them for longer. If the seniors can arrive in time, perhaps the spirit fruit might not lose its efficacy.”

Cen Zijin, upon hearing this, became slightly worried and said:

“Chu Ning, you want to cultivate under the Tree of Myriad Laws? But that pressure…”

Chu Ning, hearing this, immediately cast a reassuring glance.

“No worries, I found that the closer I get to the Tree of Myriad Laws, the denser the energy becomes. My cultivation technique is special, such pressure has little effect on me.”

Everyone was intrigued by Chu Ning’s words.

Though, recalling Chu Ning’s various divine techniques earlier, they were not too surprised.

As for Chu Ning’s suggestion, naturally, no one objected.

After all, after Chu Ning demonstrated significant cultivation, everyone basically looked up to him.

Moreover, these spirit fruits were picked by Chu Ning.

Now, everyone was content just to have their share.

Even if no one can consume and refine more, should Chu Ning wish to dispose of the remaining spirit fruit, they would have nothing to say.

Especially since Chu Ning even mentioned returning them to the Nascent Soul cultivators.

“There’s no time to lose, Fellow Daoists, let’s divide the spirit fruits and begin refining them now.”

Saying this, Chu Ning began plucking spirit fruits from the branches and handed them one by one to the seven people.

After handing the last spirit fruit to Cen Zijin, Chu Ning cast a glance encouraging the other to cultivate in peace.

Then, holding the remaining three spirit fruits from the branch, he quickly walked towards the Tree of Myriad Laws.

As he walked, Chu Ning swept with his Divine Sense.

He saw that after Jiang Cheng and the others took the Myriad Laws Fruit Spirit Fruit, they each found a place to sit and cultivate in peace, paying no attention to his actions.

He immediately walked to the Tree of Myriad Laws, found a dead-angle direction unseen by others, and sat down cross-legged.

Cultivating in the pressure zone of the Tree of Myriad Laws was something Chu Ning had already considered when picking the spirit fruits.

At this moment, the reason he aimed to come here was also to avoid the crowd.

Once seated cross-legged, Chu Ning’s gaze fell on the three Myriad Laws Tree Spirit Fruits in his hand.

He had clearly heard Jiang Cheng’s explanation.

Unlike others who felt trepidation, Chu Ning was exceptionally pleased hearing it.

From Jiang Cheng’s words, he gathered that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Cloud Peak Alliance were not entirely ignorant of the energy here.

At the very least, they knew that the energy here was a fusion of Spiritual Qi and other forces.

However, even Nascent Soul cultivators of the alliance likely lacked the Power of Origin.

So they did not realize this other force was the Power of Origin.

Regarding Jiang Cheng’s mention of that Nascent Soul cultivator consuming two spirit fruits, and being overwhelmed by the force destroying their body.

That was most likely due to the Power of Origin.

For cultivators who have never absorbed or encountered the Power of Origin, a sudden influx of such power within their body.

The physical body unable to withstand it is indeed possible.

However, Chu Ning was different.

Previously, on No-Spirit Island, cultivating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, he absorbed and refined a large amount of the Power of Origin.

Even in the cave within Snow Mist Valley, obtaining those Power of Origin Water Drops within his body, he felt no discomfort.

The Myriad Laws Tree Spirit Fruits in this forbidden area, in terms of the intensity of Power of Origin, should not be stronger than those water drops.

Therefore, Chu Ning believed that with his physical strength, he should be fully capable of withstanding it.

Of course, whether this is truly the case still needs to be proven.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning immediately plucked a spirit fruit from the tree branch.

This spirit fruit was crystalline and translucent, and just by bringing it up to his nose, a refreshing fragrance wafted in.
