Chapter 365 Jade Bed and Mysterious Water Secret Technique
"Is there a barrier restriction here?"
Standing in front of the position pointed by Bai Ling, Cen Zijin's face was full of surprise at this moment.
She is an early stage Jindan cultivator and is extremely familiar with formation restrictions, but at this moment she cannot sense any restriction fluctuations at all.
Chu Ning, on the other hand, had not sensed it before, but now that Bai Ling pointed out the location, his powerful consciousness vaguely felt that there seemed to be something abnormal in front of him.
But it was only vague, not enough for him to truly find the barrier.
Bai Ling, who had now transformed into a young girl, smiled softly.
"In front of this is indeed the small space barrier where the Thunder Fire Sect ruins are located. My master and I have gone in twice, so we are quite familiar with it."
Chu Ning Jingqing said in deep thought:
"This barrier should be related to the power of space, so we can't easily feel it even with our spiritual sense.
According to the news I saw from the Thunder Fire Sect, it was the extraterrestrial demon who forcibly pulled the entire Thunder Fire Sect into a small space.
I just don’t know if the space barrier we sense now was formed at that time, or if it is something unique to the small world. "
"Space enchantment!"
Hearing this, Cen Zijin's face showed surprise.
"Then how do we get in?"
Hearing Cen Zijin's words, Chu Ning and Bai Ling both smiled.
Bai Ling waved his hands, and two white lights appeared, covering Chu Ning and Cen Zijin respectively.
The next moment, the two of them were wrapped in white light and went directly into the barrier.
"this……"
This was the first time Cen Zijin had such an experience. At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Chu Ning and Bai Ling with a strange look on his face.
"This is Bai Ling's special magical power!" Chu Ning explained with a smile.
"When I went to various treasure places, her innate magical power helped me a lot."
Cen Zijin looked at Bai Ling with strange eyes.
Only after she truly experienced it did she realize how incredible it was to have such a gifted magical power.
And Chu Ning was so lucky to be able to enter such a treasured land when he was just building the foundation.
At this time, Chu Ning also began to look around.
"Elder Mountain!"
Chu Ning easily recognized where he was, which was the Elder Mountain behind the Thunder Fire Sect's main hall, and it was still on the fifth floor.
Chu Ning introduced Cen Zijin to the Elder Mountain while leading him up.
He also briefly talked about the process of obtaining the essentials of spiritual elixirs, ice and fire silk armor, and the Wind and Fire Prairie Technique here.
Soon, the two came to the front of the seventh floor.
The restriction between the sixth and seventh floors is still there, but this restriction, which he thought was extremely powerful back then, is nothing now.
This aspect is naturally the reason why the restriction has become weaker after a hundred years.
What's more important is that Chu Ning's cultivation level is far from what it was back then.
With Chu Ning's current cultivation level, it is not impossible to forcefully break this restriction.
But Chu Ning didn't have to do this, and he didn't even have to use Bai Ling's talent.
He casually took out two jade plaques from the storage bag, handed one to Cen Zijin, and held the other directly in his hand.
The jade tablet he got from Song Cheng, the ancestor of the Song family, could lead to the seventh floor.
He also obtained a jade token from the Cave of the Grand Elder of the Thunder Fire Sect, which can lead to the eighth floor.
Naturally, these two layers cannot trap him.
Entering the seventh floor, Chu Ning's eyes fell on the cave on the left.
He had never explored the caves above the seventh floor when he first came.
But when he entered for the second time, he entered the space barrier and landed right in the great elder's cave.
After Chu Ning walked around the cave of the great elder on the eighth floor, he used the forbidden jade token obtained from the Song family to enter the cave on the right side of the seventh floor.
And he got several puppets that were really not weak.
And because there is no forbidden jade token in the cave on the left, and Bai Ling's mana is not enough, no one can enter the cave on the left.
After Chu Ning went through these things in his mind, he then said aloud:
"Bai Ling, we have been to the cave on the right, show us the cave on the left."
With his current methods, he might as well give it a try to see if he could directly break the cave's restrictions.
But on the one hand, Bai Ling's talent is naturally faster.
On the other hand, Chu Ning was also worried that the restrictions in each cave would be connected to the restrictions in the entire Elder Mountain.
If the restriction is breached rashly, there may be a chain reaction.
When Bai Ling heard this, he moved his hands and once again emitted two rays of white light that enveloped Chu Ning and Cen Zijin.
Immediately, he entered the cave.
"Hey, this cave is quite well preserved."
As soon as Chu Ning entered the cave, she couldn't help but say aloud.
In terms of completeness alone, it was already comparable to the cave of the great elder of the Thunder Fire Sect that he had entered.
Cen Zijin had obviously rarely seen this kind of ancient monk cave before, and now he couldn't help but look at it curiously.
"Chun Ning, the ancient monks in this cave seem to be practicing water-based skills."
"It does look like it!" Chu Ning responded, and looked at the entire cave together with Cen Zijin.
At the entrance of the cave, there is a dry pond. It can be imagined that this place should have been filled with water-type spiritual plants.
The walls of the cave are carved with patterns of various aquatic creatures.
In the corner of the cave, there is also a small and exquisite crystal palace, which contains various crystal stones. Each crystal stone can emit colorful light, illuminating the entire cave beautifully.
In the deepest part of the cave, there is a restriction, covering a jade bed.
I don’t know what kind of jade it is made of, but its surface surges like water waves.
The eyes of Chu Ning and Xie Zijin couldn't help but fall on the item that they didn't know whether to call it a jade bed or a water bed.
Chu Ning took the lead and stepped forward.
Cen Zijin also walked over, and then a trace of surprise flashed in his bright eyes and he said:
"There is a strong water-attribute spiritual energy gathering here. It seems that it is not simply the reason for the restriction of this formation."
"The jade bed inside should be a good treasure." Chu Ning nodded.
As he spoke, Chu Ning turned his head and looked at Bai Ling, motioning for him to take the two of them in first to take a look.
Anyway, the jade bed within this confinement is big enough for two people to stand on.
"Huh?"
As soon as the two of them entered the restricted area, they couldn't help but let out a light smile.
Stepping on this jade bed gave the two of them the feeling of stepping on water.
"The water spirit energy here is so strong!"
Cen Zijin exclaimed in surprise at this moment:
"Chun Ning, the formation restriction outside does not seem to gather spiritual energy, but more like it locks spiritual energy."
"Your feeling is correct. The jade bed gathers spiritual energy here, and the restriction outside is to lock spiritual energy."
Chu Ning nodded slightly, entering the restriction of this formation, he also felt the same.
"The material of this jade bed should be a rare weapon refining material, and together with the various runes engraved on the jade bed, it has the effect of gathering spiritual energy.
This jade bed can be called a large-scale functional magic weapon. "
As they spoke, Chu Ning and Cen Zijin walked around the jade bed to investigate carefully.
After discovering that the jade bed was neither connected to the ground of the cave nor the formation restrictions covering the outside, Chu Ning said to Cen Zijin:
"You should put this jade bed away, it will be useful when practicing water-attribute skills."
Hearing what Chu Ning said, Cen Zijin was not polite and put away the jade bed directly.
The two of them got out of the restriction and started walking towards other rooms in the cave.
But after walking through several stone chambers, I didn't find much.
Instead, I saw some bottles and jars in one room, which looked like they contained elixirs.
But all the elixirs inside have expired.
"The spiritual energy here is so abundant, and there are jade bottles to store it. If it is a high-grade elixir, it may be preserved for tens of thousands of years. I didn't expect that all the elixirs here have expired."
Cen Zijin looked at these pills and couldn't help but exclaimed that it was a pity.
Chu Ning explained from the side:
"This small world was once forcefully pulled into the space crack by the extraterrestrial devil.
There was no spiritual energy there. It was only because of something unexpected that happened later that this small world came to light again.
It is not too surprising that these things have lost their spiritual power.
However, the cave here is so well preserved that if we look at other stone chambers, we might find something. "
With that said, Chu Ning led Cen Zi into the next room.
Entering it, the two of them were attracted by a secondary mural.
Cen Zijin glanced up, but quickly turned his head away, his face flushed with embarrassment.
But on these murals, there is a lifelike pattern of female nuns carved on them.
And these people, without exception, were naked.
"You seem to be working hard, huh..."
Cen Zijin was a little angry and wanted to talk to Chu Ning. When he inadvertently looked up again, he let out another surprised sound.
"What's engraved on this seems to be a kind of cultivation technique."
Chu Ning immediately smiled and said, "Did you see it too?"
Cen Zijin did not answer Chu Ning's words, but looked over with pattern after pattern.
It wasn't until he had read all the twenty-seven murals in this room that he finally let out a breath and said:
"Xuan Shui Divine Technique, a mysterious water attribute technique. The first eighteen pictures are about the cultivation of the technique.
The last nine are three cultivation methods with their own secret skills. This method is probably above the middle level of the heaven level. "
As he said these words, Cen Zijin's bright eyes shone with brilliance.
Chu Ning also read the entire technique at this moment. Not only was he at a higher level than Cen Zijin.
Moreover, he also possesses the spirit body of Renshui, and his understanding of this method is deeper than that of Cen Zijin.
He immediately spoke:
"Zijin, what kind of technique are you practicing now? According to the records of this technique, if you have already formed the elixir, there will be no problem if you change your practice.
If the exercises you practice are far different from this one, it would be a good idea to change how you practice them. "
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"The technique I am practicing now is a high-grade technique from our Yaochi Palace. It is very powerful and is especially suitable for female cultivators.
That’s why I can cultivate diligently and not be slow.
However, in terms of level power, I think it is inferior to Xuan Shui Divine Art.
It's just that this method is quite mysterious to understand. I haven't fully understood it yet, but I don't know if I can change it. "
After Chu Ning heard this, her heart moved, and she thought of all the things that happened in the ruins of her sect.
He first memorized all the cultivation methods and engraved them on a blank jade slip.
Then he said to Cen Zijin: "Try to use your spiritual sense to sense these murals. If there is anything unusual, don't panic too much."
After hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin immediately sent out his spiritual sense and soon covered the first mural.
Then a scene that surprised him appeared.
The pattern in the mural floated up and flew towards Cen Zijin, and soon flew into the sea of consciousness above his head.
The next moment, Cen Zijin felt invisible words flying towards him, and then these murals poured into his sea of consciousness.
Until he felt that all the contents of the first mural had been imprinted in his mind, Cen Zijin raised his head and took a look at the mural on the wall that seemed to have lost its charm.
Then he said to Chu Ning with a look of surprise:
"It turns out that there are text records behind these murals. This way, it will be easier for me to comprehend.
Chu Ning, how did you know that using spiritual sense to explore would have such an effect?"
"I am just speculating. I have experienced similar things in the cave of the great elder before." Chu Ning replied.
"Oh, by the way, these murals seem to be condensed by the spiritual sense of these ancient monks. They have a certain effect of strengthening spiritual sense. Do you feel it?"
Cen Zijin closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then opened his eyes in surprise.
"It really is! These contents are still deposited in my sea of consciousness. I feel that if I digest them all, my spiritual sense should increase a lot."
After hearing this, Chu Ning smiled and said:
"Don't worry, this is just one mural, you can try other ones."
"Yeah!" Cen Zijin responded, and then began to use spiritual sense to continue sensing other murals.
At this moment, Chu Ning walked out of this stone chamber and went to the stone chambers behind to look at them.
Although this Mysterious Water Divine Art looks mysterious, it is not of much use to him.
His Five Elements Chaos Art is even more magical than that.
Cen Zijin is a water-attributed spiritual root, and there is a suitable technique to practice, so his cultivation can be improved faster in the future.
After going around the stone chambers at the back, Chu Ning did gain a few things, mainly several refining materials.
Without exception, they are all refining materials for water-attributed magic weapons, and the quality is also top-notch.
However, Chu Ning did not find complete magic weapons. I think the owner of this cave house also consumed a lot of things in the battle with the foreigner.
After Chu Ning looked through all the stone chambers, he waited in the cave hall for an incense stick of time.
Cen Zijin then walked out of the stone chamber with murals.
"Have you sensed everything?"
Chu Ning asked Cen Zijin, who was looking at the expression of harvest on his face.
The latter nodded and chuckled:
"Although I haven't read these contents in detail, it seems that my understanding has been strengthened after writing them down in this way."
"These murals themselves carry the cultivation insights of these ancient cultivators. This process is equivalent to you writing down all these insights together, and your understanding of the exercises will naturally be stronger."
After Chu Ning responded, Cen Zijin nodded slightly.
Chu Ning told Cen Zijin about his exploration of the stone chambers behind, and the two of them left this cave and continued to head towards the eighth floor of Elder Mountain.
With the help of the forbidden jade token of the great elder, the two successfully entered the eighth floor.
Chu Ning's eyes fell on the cave on the right.
"The cave on the left is the cave of the great elder of the Thunder Fire Sect. I have seen it before.
The cave on the right should be the strongest person besides the great elder.
The last time Bai Ling and I came, her magical power was not enough. Now we can go and explore it.
The restrictions of these caves are relatively well preserved. When you go in, you should cast defensive spells in time to avoid accidents."
Chu Ning reminded, and Cen Zijin naturally agreed.
Chu Ning then signaled Bai Ling to take them in. At this time, Bai Ling said solemnly:
"Sir, according to my perception, the formation restrictions here seem to be stronger than the formation restrictions of the great elder's cave."
"Oh?"
Hearing Bai Ling's words, Chu Ning was surprised.
Then, he put away the jade token of the great elder's cave formation restrictions.
Then he cast a spell outside each of the two caves, landing on the restrictions of the two caves.
After feeling it for a while, Chu Ning nodded and said:
"Your perception is correct. In terms of the formation and restrictions of the cave, this cave is stronger than that of the great elder.
This is a little strange. The great elder is a cultivator in the late Yuanying period. Logically, the person living in this cave can't have a higher cultivation level than him, unless..."
"Unless this person is proficient in formation and restrictions!" Cen Zijin said on the side.
Chu Ning nodded slightly.
"Yes, if the formation inheritance of your Cen family is really from the descendants of the Leihuo Sect cultivator.
That means that there is a high probability that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator who was proficient in formation in this sect before.
We have seen the caves of ancient cultivators who are proficient in alchemy, refining, puppets, water attribute skills, etc. along the way.
The two sect masters of this Leihuo Sect are proficient in thunder attribute skills and spells and fire attribute skills and spells respectively.
So it is very likely that the owner of this cave is a cultivator who is proficient in formation.
Then when we enter the cave, we have to be extra careful. If we are trapped by the formation, don't panic too much. Bai Ling should still be able to bring us out. "
"good!"
After waiting for Cen Zijin to finish his response, Bai Ling used his magical talent and once again wrapped Chu Ning and Cen Zijin into the cave.
"There is indeed a formation!"
As soon as he entered the cave, Chu Ning felt his eyes dim and he fell into boundless darkness.
But beside him, Cen Zijin and Bai Ling were nowhere to be seen.
"Zijin!"
"Bai Ling!"
I called a few words casually, but no one answered.
At this moment, Chu Ning simply stopped calling. His spiritual consciousness reached out and began to sense the formation here.
Over the years, Chu Ning has been deeply exposed to the art of formation.
While in Ziyue Sect for more than a year, he was worried that there were Yuanying monks in Zong Xiaoyao Mountain, such as Xuan Bingyan and other treasures, and he did not dare to take them out at will.
After practicing, most of the time is spent understanding the formations.
On the contrary, I sorted out the formation knowledge I had learned before, and gained a deeper understanding.
Coupled with the talent of the formation spirit body, he naturally quickly gained insights into the method of setting up formations here.
After a while, Chu Ning found the weakness of the formation.
Immediately, pass through the formation here.
What I saw in front of me was another scene, the strong wind and the sand.
The violent force of the storm gave people a strong sense of fragmentation.
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly and once again began the process of finding the weaknesses of the formation to break through.
After passing through five levels of formations, a white shadow flashed in front of his eyes.
Bai Ling suddenly appeared in front of Chu Ning.
"Sir, it turns out that you are here, which will make it easier for me to find you."
As Bai Ling spoke, he transformed into a human form, and then said with a hint of surprise on his face:
"There are too many formations in this cave. I just walked all the way here and passed through dozens of formation restrictions.
And each one not only has a different style, but also has different strengths and weaknesses. "
"Dozens of formation restrictions?" Chu Ning also looked surprised when he heard this.
"Why are there so many here? By the way, have you seen Zijin?"
Bai Ling shook his head.
"I just saw that there are too many formation restrictions here, and there seem to be different formation restrictions in each direction, so I chose one direction to go."
"There are them in every direction. So, if I break the formation from different directions, I might not enter here."
When Chu Ning heard Bai Ling's words, he couldn't help showing a strange look on his face. He led Bai Ling back to the formation just now.
When he investigated more carefully, he found that besides the place where he had broken the formation just now, there were actually two other places where he could break the formation.
And when he broke out of these two formations, he arrived at other formations.
"The formation structure here is actually like a maze, but I don't know if this formation has only one exit, or if all roads lead to Rome."
Chu Ning murmured softly, and then said to Bai Ling:
"I just thought the formations here were quite interesting, and I wanted to break through them layer by layer.
Now that I think about it, this method may not be feasible. Even if it can be completely broken, I don't know if it will happen in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse in the Year of the Horse.
In this way, I will continue to wait here, and you go find Zijin first and bring her here.
Then you go explore around to see where the final exit of this formation is. "
"Yes, Master!"
Bai Ling immediately responded and left. Chu Ning stopped leaving now and simply sat on the floor, adjusting his breath while waiting for Bai Ling to find Cen Zijin.
After nearly an hour passed like this, a white shadow flashed before his eyes, and Bai Ling's figure reappeared.
Also appearing together was Cen Zijin.
Cen Zijin had obviously learned the general story from Bai Ling. After seeing Chu Ning, he couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Chun Ning, there are so many small formations in this formation. Have you heard of this formation method?"
Chu Ning shook his head, "Among the formations I have been exposed to before, there is also this multi-layer formation method.
However, you have never seen dozens or even hundreds of formations arranged in a large formation here. There is no record of this in the inheritance you received from your family? "
After Cen Zijin shook his head, Chu Ning said thoughtfully:
"It seems that this formation is extremely complex, and there is a high probability that it is only in the hands of this Yuanying monk."
With that said, Chu Ning said to Bai Ling:
"Go take another look and find out where the final exit of this formation is."
"Okay, I just looked for the master and you two walked around here a few times, and I have a rough idea.
It shouldn't take long to find the exit. "
In response to the words, Bai Ling's figure disappeared in a flash.
This time Bai Ling did come back faster. In less than half an hour, he returned to the two of them.
At the same time, there was a smile in his tone.
"Master, I have found the exit of this formation. There are some very interesting things there. You will definitely be interested in seeing them."
