Immortality: My talent for cultivating immortals can be refreshed.

Chapter 411 Altar
After breaking through a restriction, what came into view was another stone cave.

Chu Ning held the ancient treasure in his hand and looked at it warily.

This stone cave was also only a few dozen feet in size, but the surrounding stone walls were faintly gleaming with a light golden color.

In the very center of the cave is an ancient altar that is three meters square.

There are several stone pillars around the altar, and in the middle there is a huge stone pier with various runes engraved on it.

Under the stone pier, there is a pile of dry bones.

Chu Ning scanned the bones with his spiritual sense and found that most of them had been shattered, but they were still large.

However, their structure is very different from that of human monks.

The head is twisted and irregular in shape, looking extremely strange.

In addition to the shoulders, there are arms, and there is also a long arm bone in the abdomen.

"It's the three-handed demon!"

Chu Ning almost immediately thought of the extraterritorial demon that possessed You Jing and entered the Golden Spirit Seed Realm.

This way, everything makes sense.

This place should be the place where ancient monks imprisoned the extraterritorial demons, and it was discovered by You Jing by accident.

And perhaps he had reached some kind of agreement with the extraterritorial demon and allowed it to possess him.

I just don't know whether this happened before or after I cut off his arm.

Judging from the appearance of these dry bones, the demon's body must have been damaged for a very long time.

After carefully sensing it with his spiritual sense, Chu Ning finally confirmed that it was just a pile of dry bones and there was no trace of the extraterritorial demon.

I immediately felt a little relieved.

However, he did not relax his vigilance in his heart, but began to carefully feel the surroundings of the stone chamber.

"what?"

Chu Ning couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this feeling.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Bai Ling couldn't help but ask when she heard Chu Ning's sudden exclamation.

"Do you feel that the spiritual energy here is inconsistent with that outside?"

Chu Ning asked Bai Ling.

"It's indeed different. It doesn't seem to be spiritual energy, but..."

Bai Ling blinked, looking uncertain.

Chu Ning nodded at this time, confirming Bai Ling's guess.

Just now his attention was on the altar and he didn't feel it carefully.

When I felt it again at this moment, I discovered that there was a strange energy within this restriction.

It is the energy formed by the fusion of the original power and spiritual energy.

However, the energy here is much thinner than that in the valley where the Wandah Tree is located.

I don’t know if it’s because the energy here is thinner than there, or if it’s because the time is longer.

Chu Ning continued with a hint of thought in his eyes:

“It seems that these ancient places have this kind of energy.

Could it be that the energy between heaven and earth in ancient times was different from that of today?"

As Chu Ning spoke, he couldn't help but mutter to himself in his heart.

However, he did not feel this kind of energy when he was in the Taixu Abyss.

I don’t know whether it is because the Taixu Abyss itself does not exist, or because the Taixu Abyss is not as ancient as this place.

Bai Ling had no answer to Chu Ning's question.

Chu Ning once asked her whether there was any content about this kind of energy in the inherited memory.

But Bai Ling thought about it for a long time but still couldn't find it.

After Chu Ning felt it for a while, he thought about it and began to walk slowly towards the altar.

After standing under the altar and feeling it for a while, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.

“There doesn’t seem to be any restrictions here, but look at the runes engraved on the four altars.

There should have been a ban on this altar, but perhaps that ban has failed."

After hearing what Chu Ning said, Bai Ling also thought about it carefully.

Then he nodded and said, "There is indeed no restriction on this altar. I can't sense it either."

Hearing Bai Ling say this, Chu Ning did not take it lightly and walked straight up to the altar.

Instead, he released a ray of black ice flame, striking at the dry bones of the extraterritorial demon.

The ice flame met the dry bones and instantly enveloped the entire skeleton, turning it into an ice sculpture.

Then, red flames ignited in the ice sculpture.

What surprised Chu Ning a little was that the dry bones did not burn into ashes directly under the burning of the black ice flame.

Instead, it began to gradually shrink and condense, as if it was refining it.

Chu Ning stared at the scene with a look of surprise and doubt, until finally, the entire skeleton disappeared.

And within the black ice flame, there was a black bead vaguely wrapped around it.

Chu Ning waved his hand and took back the black ice flame.

The black bead also fell into his hand, and he felt a chill in his hand.

One can vaguely feel that there seems to be a powerful demonic energy contained in it.

When Chu Ning saw it, his face immediately became serious.

“Even though it’s just a skeleton of an extraterritorial demon, it actually has such a strong demonic energy.

It seems that when this demon possessed You Jing, its strength should have been greatly reduced.

I don’t know how powerful this extraterritorial demon would be if it had a complete body.”

"Master, what should we do with this thing?" Bai Ling asked, staring at the black bead in Chu Ning's hand. Chu Ning frowned, and for a moment he was at a loss.

He slowly walked up to the altar holding the black bead.

He began to examine the place where the extraterritorial demons were originally imprisoned and sealed, and prepared to take a closer look at the rune structures on the stone pillars and piers.

Only then did he discover that there was a hole on the stone pier where it was blocked by the dried bones of the extraterritorial demon.

It was like something was installed and then taken away.

Not only that, there are also holes on each stone pillar, and it looked like they were connected by something.

Chu Ning's heart moved, and he took out the black chain made of black gold that he had received from You Jing from his storage bag.

Even though Chu Ning had used a lot of it to refine various magic weapons before, there were still dozens of pieces of this black chain.

Chu Ning picked up one end of the black chain and compared it with the hole on the stone pier.

Sure enough, I found that the two should be able to connect.

Bai Ling also spoke up at this moment: "Master, was this black chain taken out from here?"

Chu Ning nodded slightly.

“Black Mysterious Gold has a restraining effect on extraterritorial demons. Extraterritorial demons were imprisoned here before, so it is normal to use this Black Mysterious Gold.

This black chain was most likely used as a chain to lock up the extraterritorial demon, and then connected to the formation restriction on the altar.

I just don't know why the formation restriction failed, and the black chain was taken down."

When Chu Ning said this, his eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.

“If this speculation is true, then You Jing had already come into contact with this extraterritorial demon when he first fought with me.

Perhaps, the other party has also been possessed by the demon from outside the domain.

But for some unknown reason, the extraterritorial demon did not show up."

When Chu Ning thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If the demon from outer space appeared at that time, even though he had cultivated the immortal golden body.

However, he has not yet practiced the second volume of the Jiuyan Body Refining Art, and may not be able to withstand the attack of the extraterritorial demon.

Putting away the black chain, Chu Ning began to carefully study the various runes on the altar.

He was very familiar with various array patterns and runes, and after taking a look at them, he made a significant discovery.

“The forbidden runes here are composed of eighteen kinds of runes, although the runes are arranged differently on different stone pillars and stone piers.

But they are all composed of these eighteen runes, and I have seen one of them before."

Hearing Chu Ning say this, Bai Ling couldn't help but observe carefully.

However, her research on runes was far inferior to Chu Ning's, and she didn't figure out any clues.

I immediately asked curiously:
"Master, where have you seen this before?"

"That was when I just formed my elixir, at a trade fair at Tianyin Pavilion."

Chu Ning answered casually, and then gave a brief account of the incident in which the cultivator from Changming Sect asked him to analyze the source of talismans and make talismans.

Then, Chu Ning said thoughtfully:
“If this kind of rune can be made into a talisman on its own, then the other runes may also be able to be made.

It would be a good idea to analyze and master all of these runes, and then go back and study them slowly."

Chu Ning thought this in his mind, and immediately began to touch the runes on the stone pillar with his hands.

The cold feeling to the touch made Chu Ning curious about the materials of these stone pillars and piers.

However, he immediately focused his attention on analyzing Fu Yuan.

Bai Ling saw Chu Ning analyzing the source of the talisman and did not disturb him. She left the altar and began to walk around in the stone cave.

When turning to the pale golden stone wall, Bai Ling couldn't help but reveal a strange look in her eyes.

She reached out her hand and touched the stone wall, then she seemed to be thinking about something, opened her mouth and spurted out a white light that fell on the stone wall.

Then, Bai Ling stretched out her hands and lightly swept across the stone wall.

Suddenly, a layer of golden sand fell on his palm.

"What is this?"

Bai Ling asked without thinking.

Hearing Bai Ling's movement, Chu Ning couldn't help but look up.

When his spiritual sense swept over, Chu Ning couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Star Gold Sand, like Black Mysterious Gold, is one of the ten great refining materials in ancient times.

It is mainly used for refining defensive magic weapons. How did you get it out of there?"

After hearing Chu Ning's words, Bai Ling once again sprayed white light onto the wall.

Then he swept it, and suddenly, the golden sand on the wall fell into his hands again.

"Huh, I didn't expect you to have this magical power."

Chu Ning chuckled and then said:
"In that case, you can collect all the starry gold sand on this wall.

Anyway, the extraterritorial demon is no longer here, so this kind of defense is of no use."

"Yes, Master."

After hearing Chu Ning's instructions, Bai Ling immediately collected the gold sand from the entire wall piece by piece.

Chu Ning continued to analyze the eighteen runes on the stone pillars and piers.

With Chu Ning's current ability to analyze runes, even if these eighteen runes are extremely mysterious, it would only take him a little longer.

After analyzing the eighteen kinds of runes, Chu Ning thought about it and wrote down the rune structures on each stone pillar and the stone pier on a blank jade slip.

I plan to take it back and study it slowly.

In fact, Chu Ning was also somewhat interested in the material of the stone pillar used to carve the runes.

I wanted to take them away, but they were obviously connected to the restrictions here.

Worried that something unexpected might happen if he took it, Chu Ning decided to give up.
