Chapter 940 - 392: Forming Good Karma

"As for exactly when this demon attached itself to Zhuang Zhong, we still do not know for the time being."

Lu Yuezhang shook his head, and a trace of worry involuntarily flashed in his eyes.

"During the competition, none of us noticed anything about this demon; if not for Zhuang Zhong displaying strength far beyond his usual level,

we might not even have grown suspicious, and it truly could have taken advantage of the gap."

"As for how this demon entered this place..."

Speaking to this point, Lu Yuejian paused slightly, his tone somewhat uncertain as he said:

"After these Outer Celestial Demons conceal themselves, their strength should all suffer some damage.

We suspect that this Myriad Laws Fruit, or the heaven-and-earth energy in this place, is of some help to them in restoring their strength."

Speaking thus, Lu Yuezhang swept his gaze around, his brows knitting slightly.

"I do not know what method this demon ultimately used, but I keep feeling that the energy of this place seems noticeably weaker than when we first came in."

The Middle Stage of Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Taihe Institute also nodded in agreement at the side and said:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what you sensed should not be wrong; I was just about to mention this matter as well."

After hearing this, Lu Yuezhang’s expression grew solemn as he asked Chu Ning, Jiang Cheng, and the others:

"After we left, did anything else unusual happen in this place?"

The two exchanged a glance, and then Chu Ning took the initiative to speak:

"I did not feel any particularly special events occur; however, this junior previously felt that the energy beneath that Tree of Myriad Laws was even denser and more abundant, so I went under that Tree of Myriad Laws to cultivate.

Also, of those Myriad Laws Fruit Spirit Fruits, there were two that we could not further refine, and they dropped down and disappeared; I do not know whether this had any effect?"

"You went to cultivate beneath the Tree of Myriad Laws?" Lu Yuejian was first somewhat surprised, then shook his head and said:

"The speed at which we cultivators refine the energy of this place is limited. Even if the absorption and refinement are somewhat faster, we still cannot absorb and refine that much.

All the more so since you still had to spend time on the Refinement of the Myriad Laws Spirit Fruit; it has little to do with you.

The falling of the Tree of Myriad Laws Spirit Fruit, in principle, should only make this energy even denser."

"Then I am relieved." Chu Ning let out a slight breath.

"I was afraid it was because of my reckless actions."

At this moment, Chu Ning did indeed relax a little.

He had not expected that after his bout of cultivation, even the energy in this place would become more and more thin.

Fortunately, Lu Yuezhang would not believe this, otherwise it would truly be difficult to explain.

"It should still have a certain connection with that demon."

As he spoke, Lu Yuezhang let out a soft sigh.

"The energy of this place grows ever more scarce; a hundred years from now, who knows whether these Myriad Laws Spirit Fruits will still be able to form."

Once these words were spoken, the three Nascent Soul Cultivators could not help but show a hint of sighing emotion on their faces.

As for the many Golden Core Cultivators, such an expression did not appear on their faces.

For everyone, this time they had already succeeded in consuming the Myriad Laws Fruit.

Matters a hundred years from now were obviously not something everyone needed to worry about for the moment.

Before one reached the level of Nascent Soul Cultivator, one could not truly participate much in matters concerning such Forbidden Lands.

At this moment, the three Nascent Soul Cultivators, led by Lu Yuezhang, released their Divine Sense and probed the entire valley; after confirming that there was indeed nothing unusual, he then waved his hand and said:

"Let us go, we are leaving."

Although Chu Ning was somewhat enamored with the cultivation speed in this place, he also knew it was impossible to remain here cultivating indefinitely.

He immediately led Cen Zijin in Flying Escape out.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Cen Zijin:

"How was the Refinement effect of the Spirit Fruit?"

"My Magical Power has indeed advanced by quite a bit." Cen Liaojin’s tone carried a trace of joy.

"The Primordial Qi lost when my Lifebound Magical Treasure was destroyed seems to have been made up as well, and my Divine Sense has advanced slightly.

As for the strength of the fleshly body, for the moment I have yet to feel any change.

According to what Fellow Daoist Jiang said previously, this seems to be a rather lengthy process."

Chu Ning nodded; Cen Zijin, like the other cultivators, was unable to actively refine the Power of Origin.

This strengthening of the fleshly body naturally could only progress slowly.

However, to be able to achieve such an effect on top of making up for the deficit of Primordial Qi suffered by the destruction of her Lifebound Magical Treasure was already quite good.

Otherwise, Cen Zijin would truly have suffered some loss this time.

When Cen Zijin’s Magical Treasure Flying Sword was refined again, they could attempt to mix in some Black Profound Gold.

That way, its power would be even greater when she faced enemies in the future.

It was just that Chu Ning could not say such words at this moment.

When Lu Yuezhang had been asking questions just now, he had seemed on the verge of speaking, which most likely had to do with that Black Profound Gold.

There were simply too many people, so it was inconvenient to speak.

Once they flew out of the valley, Chu Ning immediately saw the Cultivator Zou and Cultivator Shen who were guarding outside the valley at this moment.

Compared to when they had entered, Cultivator Shen’s aura now seemed somewhat more withered.

"It seems that the battle with that Outer Celestial Demon was not as simple as Lu Yuezhang described.

Though this Cultivator Shen has Early Stage of Nascent Soul Cultivation, he still suffered some injuries.

In that case, my being able to retreat unscathed from the demon’s assault does indeed owe much to the strength of the Undying Golden Body."

Chu Ning could not help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

His gaze then fell upon Cultivator Zou; this person should also have participated in the fight.

Yet, despite losing both legs, his aura was instead stable, which greatly surprised Chu Ning.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng, who had also flown out, immediately went over to Cultivator Zou; after master and disciple exchanged a few words of greeting,

everyone boarded Lu Yuezhang’s Flying Boat and left together.

One day later, they once again returned to the Guiyuan Sect.

The cultivators of their respective sects had long been waiting in the training hall, and naturally could not help asking again about matters in that Cloud Peak Forbidden Land.

Although the matter of the Outer Celestial Demon was known to several Nascent Soul Cultivators, it was not something everyone was aware of.
