Immortality: My talent for cultivating immortals can be refreshed.

Chapter 564: The Secret of Lingshan, Unveiled

“In fact, casual cultivators like us don’t know much about Jiuyan Lingshan.

After all, this sacred mountain only opens once every thousand years, and those big sects may have some news passed down."

Yun Chenzi answered this and then paused and looked at Master Yuan Lang.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is not an outsider, so you can speak as you please." Master Yuan Lang said this.

Yun Chenzi then continued:
“However, Brother Yuan Lang had previously had some conversations with other great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, and did get some information.

It is said that Jiuyan Lingshan is the place where Master Jiuyan practiced in the past. Fellow Daoist Chu already knows this, so I will not elaborate on it.

It took about a month from the time Jiuyan Lingshan appeared in the world to the time it was officially opened."

"A month, so long?"

Chu Ning was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"It seems that they are intentionally waiting for all the monks to arrive. Isn't this going to make everyone fight?"

Yun Chenzi nodded at this moment and said:

“That’s true, but after all these years, actual fighting over things has rarely happened.

After all, over the past tens of thousands of years, most of the treasures in Jiuyan Lingshan have been taken away by the cultivators who entered the mountain before."

Speaking of this, Yun Chenzi smiled slightly and said:
“So there is news that 20,000 years ago, there was a period of time when very few cultivators entered Jiuyan Lingshan.

Because even if you enter Lingshan, the treasures you can obtain are very few.

There were even quite a few Jindan cultivators who entered at one point."

Chu Ning nodded. Master Jiuyan was the first cultivator to ascend to heaven in this world.

There may indeed be a lot of natural treasures at that time, but the development of the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals such as alchemy, refining, formation, and talisman making had not reached prosperity.

Therefore, it is normal that there are limited treasures in Jiuyan Lingshan.

After many years of monks' treasure-hunting, the probability of monks who enter later obtaining treasures will naturally be greatly reduced.

Maybe it's some magical medicine that has grown for thousands of years.

“However, in the past 10,000 to 20,000 years, many Nascent Soul cultivators have begun to scramble to enter Jiuyan Lingshan.”

At this time, Yun Chenzi continued to speak, without waiting for Chu Ning to ask, Yun Chenzi continued:

“The reason why Jiuyan Lingshan is still so popular among cultivators is because no cultivator has entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage in the past 20,000 years.

It is said that more than 10,000 years ago, a monk found a secret place in this mountain.

It records the cultivation experience of Master Jiuyan from his initial perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to his final ascension.

Many cultivators actually come here for this, hoping to find some opportunities to break through and become gods.

So Fellow Daoist Chu can see that most of those who come here are cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

After all, when one advances to the late Nascent Soul stage, everyone would want to reach the Divine Transformation stage."

Speaking of this, Yun Chenzi laughed and said:

“As for someone like me, I encountered a bottleneck in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so I wanted to try my luck.

You see, Brother Jian didn't come this time. Firstly, he didn't encounter any bottlenecks, and secondly, he was worried that something might happen to him since he was from a wealthy family."

Hearing Yun Chenzi's words, Chu Ning's eyes lit up.

During this period of time, he was thinking and understanding how to find a method of practice that was more suitable for himself.

If you can really enter it and experience the cultivation path of Master Jiuyan, I think you will gain a lot.

Moreover, back then on the Wuling Island, Master Jiuyan went there to feel the power of origin.

If he could get some inspiration in this regard, it would be of greater help to Chu Ning.

While Chu Ning was thinking this, Master Yuan Lang sighed and said:
“Ever since the great change in the spiritual energy of this world 20,000 years ago, no Divine Transformation cultivator has appeared.

In fact, if there were no restrictions on this sacred mountain, not only those in the late Nascent Soul stage, but also those in the Demigod realm would probably come here.”

Chu Ning, who was thinking, was slightly stunned when he heard what Master Yuan Lang said, and then immediately asked:

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Lang, what do you mean by the demigod realm?"

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Chu, you don't know this?" Master Yuan Lang's tone sounded a little surprised.

Then he continued:
“The so-called semi-god realm means that the mana, Nascent Soul, etc. have reached the level that can be promoted to the God Transformation Stage.

However, due to the limitations of this realm, cultivators are unable to truly advance to the Spirit Transformation Stage and ascend to the upper realms. This realm was not originally included in the cultivation system.

It’s just that in the past fifteen thousand years or so, monks have been trapped in this realm one after another, so it’s called this.”

After Master Yuan Lang said this, he paused for a moment and continued:
“Moreover, it is said that these monks’ cultivation and magical powers are basically comparable to those of the Divine Transformation monks.

It’s just that I haven’t crossed this threshold and cannot officially ascend.”

"At the level of demigod, one's cultivation and magical powers are comparable to those of a god."

Chu Ning was digesting the news he had just received, but his heart was filled with shock.

Originally, he thought that there were only cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage in this world, and the level of their cultivation was simply a matter of how long it took them to enter the late Nascent Soul stage.

But I didn't expect that there are even higher-level monks.

In this case, it seems that my current strength is not enough to protect myself.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Lang, how many cultivators are there in the Demigod realm now?"

At this moment, Chu Ning asked a question that he was very concerned about.

Upon hearing this, Master Yuan Lang hesitated for a moment before saying:
“The exact number is uncertain, but I know a fair amount.

The actual number may be doubled.

Cultivators at this level are determined to truly enter the God Transformation Stage and will basically not be active outside.

However, among the nine major forces in Tianmu Continent, I am afraid that more than half of them have cultivators of this level."

Chu Ning was slightly shocked when he heard this. He had fought with two late Nascent Soul cultivators from Xingyu Sect before, and after two years of seclusion, his cultivation level had improved again.

I originally thought that I would not be afraid even when facing these major forces.

Now it seems that we were too optimistic.

I just don't know why Master Hansong didn't tell me about this at the beginning.

Did the other party not know about it at all? Or was he hiding it because he was worried that I might have concerns?
But now I can't find the other party to ask for clarification.

At this moment, Chu Ning saw several beams of light flying towards him from afar. He recognized the familiar figure at just one glance.

They were Tong Changhong and Shan Tianqi from the Xingyu Sect. Behind them were two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

It seems that he is also a cultivator from Xingyu Sect.

After the four of them arrived, they glanced at the monks around them.

Tong Changhong and Shan Tianqi began to signal to the familiar monks, and then their eyes swept over where Chu Ning and the other two were.

Tong Changhong's face, which was originally filled with a smile, now had a hint of a fake smile.

Shan Tianqi, who was always cold and arrogant, also stared at Chu Ning.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Chenzi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

After all, he is not a late-stage great cultivator like Master Yuan Lang.

Originally, Chu Ning was not getting along well with the three late Nascent Soul cultivators from the Beihan Land, and Xuan Chenzi was already a little worried.

However, thinking that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, the three late Nascent Soul cultivators from the Beihan Land who came to the Tianmu Continent should have some concerns.

So he was not too worried.

But judging from the looks of the two late Nascent Soul cultivators from Xingyu Sect at this moment, it seemed that the man in front of him also had some grudge against the Xingyu Sect.

This is one of the nine major forces in Tianmu Continent.

"What is the origin of this Fellow Daoist Chu? How did he become enemies with so many great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage?"

Xuan Chenzi sighed in his heart and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask.

Master Yuan Lang, as a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, was not as worried as Xuan Chenzi.

Moreover, he had experienced Chu Ning's strength and knew that even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would not be sure to win against Chu Ning.

But at this time, he still looked at Chu Ning with a very strange look.

"This guy is really capable of making trouble."

Just as the two monks beside him were secretly sighing in their hearts, Chu Ning asked again:
"Fellow Daoist Yuan Lang, does the Xingyu Sect have any cultivators at the semi-god level?"

If Chu Ning had asked it privately before, Master Yuan Lang would still be curious, but now he thought it was normal.

He shook his head and said:
“I haven’t heard of any Demigod cultivators in Xingyu Sect, and Xingyu Sect has always only had two of the three late Nascent Soul cultivators deployed at the same time.

According to my guess, the other person should be guarding the sect.

From this point of view, it is unlikely that Xingyu Sect has a demigod cultivator."

Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and Master Yuan Lang added:

“In fact, among the nine major forces, except for Tianyi Sect and Wanmo Sect, everyone knows that there are demigod cultivators.

The rest of the sects can only make rough guesses.

Fellow Daoist Chu does not need to worry too much. The demigod cultivators seem to have concerns as well and rarely show up.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be nine major forces standing side by side in this Tianmu Continent.”

After hearing this, Chu Ning nodded slightly.

He no longer looked at the strange looks from Tong Changhong and Shan Tianqi.

In the following period of time, monks arrived one after another.

Chu Ning didn't know much about the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Tianmu Continent, so he took this opportunity to ask Xuan Chenzi.

Although Xuan Chenzi was a little uneasy about Chu Ning, who had made enemies with so many late-stage great cultivators, his attitude towards Chu Ning did not change.

Whenever a cultivator appears, he will definitely give Chu Ning a brief introduction.

In this way, over ten days, almost all the famous sects in Tianmu Continent had arrived.

Just as Xuan Chenzi said before, most of them are cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

There are only a very small number of cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and they all come with the cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

Like Chu Ning, there was only one person who came alone in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

He was an old man in a green robe with silver hair and a somewhat thin look.

Xuan Chenzi actually knew this man, his name was Shi Fengbo.

According to him, he was also a famous independent cultivator who had been stuck in the middle stage of Nascent Soul for a long time.

He seems to be older than Xuan Chenzi.

And this person was the cultivator who bought the Jiuyan Lingshan map at the trade fair two years ago.

It seems that he is the same as Xuan Chenzi, with a try-it attitude, hoping to have a chance to break through the late Nascent Soul stage and prolong his life.

After ten days of waiting for Chu Ning to arrive, it seemed that all the cultivators who were supposed to come had arrived, and no cultivators showed up for the next two or three days.

By the fourteenth day, the Jiuyan Lingshan Mountain in front suddenly became clearer and more conspicuous.

On the front of the mountain, layers of white fog dissipated, revealing an ordinary mountain path.

"Jiuyan Lingshan is open!"

Looking at this mountain path, the monks present had different expressions on their faces.
