Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 389 - 195: Secrets of the Ancient Sect, Divine Sense Soaring

However, he never dared to use Divine Sense to investigate.

Fearing that it might trigger some kind of Restriction, leading to unexpected incidents.

Now, as Chu Ning began to use Divine Sense to explore, he was startled to discover.

The seemingly blank walls of this Stone Chamber actually concealed hidden murals.

And beside each illustration, there were some accompanying texts.

Chu Ning examined closely and discovered, surprisingly, that these illustrations and texts were all events interconnected.

They narrated the rise and fall of this Ancient Sect.

"Thunder Fire Sect!"

The first thing Chu Ning saw was about the rise of this Sect.

The Thunder Fire Sect was initially founded by two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, one proficient in Thunder Attribute Technique and Skill, the other in Fire Attribute Technique and Skill.

Initially unrenowned in the East Saint Continent, but as the two’s cultivation increased, both became Great Powers at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Gradually, they ranked among the top ten powerhouses in the East Saint Continent and were respectively revered as Celestial Thunder Ascendant and Fire Cloud Ascendant.

Thus, the Thunder Fire Sect also gained great fame, not only being a Top Level Sect in the East Saint Continent but renowned throughout the entire Celestial Derivation Realm.

Seeing these records, Chu Ning couldn’t help but have his eyes flicker.

"So, this Cultivation Realm here is also referred to as the Celestial Derivation Realm, both were already the top powerhouses of the East Saint Continent.

Then why did the Thunder Fire Sect end up in such a predicament?"

As he contemplated this, Chu Ning continued to use Divine Sense to explore the illustrations and texts on the walls.

After a long time, Chu Ning stood silently in the middle of the Stone Chamber.

From these stone murals, Chu Ning learned.

Three hundred years after entering the Nascent Soul Late Stage, Celestial Thunder Ascendant and Fire Cloud Ascendant handed the Thunder Fire Sect over to the Grand Elder, who was also the painter here, for management.

Then they departed together and never returned.

Some said these two Great Powers had already ascended to the Upper Realm.

There were also reports claiming that the two had long since passed away.

Fifty years after their departure, the East Saint Continent suddenly faced an invasion by Outer Celestial Demons.

Many Top Level Sects united to resist, yet still couldn’t withstand.

As the foremost Major Sect in the East Saint Continent, the Thunder Fire Sect also became the target of attack by the Outer Celestial Demons.

When even the Grand Elder leading the cultivators couldn’t fend them off.

Celestial Thunder Ascendant and Fire Cloud Ascendant finally appeared, fought against the two leading Celestial Demons, and perished with them.

The Grand Elder then led many disciples within the Sect, using sect Arrays to resist the remaining Celestial Demons.

Ultimately, in a dire victory, they drove the Celestial Demons away.

But the Celestial Demons somehow managed to conceal the location of the Thunder Fire Sect within a Spatial Rift upon their departure.

Many disciples, unprepared, were directly swept into the Spatial Rift and perished.

In the end, many Elders led the surviving disciples to retreat into the Elder Mountain within the sect.

But to the despair of the Elders and disciples of the Thunder Fire Sect, no Spiritual Qi existed within this Spatial Rift.

All cultivators could no longer enhance their cultivation.

After exhausting all efforts to free the Thunder Fire Sect from the Spatial Rift, the Grand Elder and others could only watch as sect disciples aged and died before their eyes.

Until this Grand Elder, who had also reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, exhausted his Life Span.

Looking at this long record of illustrations and texts, Chu Ning couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

He could imagine the people within the sect back then, in that Spatial Rift.

No Spiritual Qi, no hope, no light...

What despair must that have been.

He also understood why this ruin appeared so desolate when he first saw it.

Chu Ning now also understood why these events could have been simply recorded with words.

Yet this cultivator, having reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, still used Divine Sense to create these murals.

Perhaps he also used it to pass the long years.

"According to the Grand Elder’s murals, the ruins of the Thunder Fire Sect should be within a Spatial Rift.

But why has it manifested as a small world within the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands area?"

Chu Ning’s face revealed a pondering expression.

"Could it be that I am now in a Spatial Rift?"

Thinking of this, Chu Ning felt a chill in his heart.

He clearly remembered the horrors of the Spatial Rift depicted by the Thunder Fire Sect’s Grand Elder in the murals.

Ordinary cultivators would be directly devoured upon contact.

"Wrong!"

Chu Ning quickly reacted.

"According to what was depicted, the Spatial Rift where the Thunder Fire Sect is located has no Spiritual Qi.

Yet, I could sense Spiritual Qi both the last time I came and now."

With a moment of thought, Chu Ning quickly had a rough hypothesis.

That the sect ruins of the Thunder Fire Sect, after long years, were squeezed out of the Spatial Rift back to the East Saint Continent.

With this in mind, Chu Ning couldn’t help but sigh again.

Even though Nascent Soul Cultivators could live for over a thousand years, Life Span is ultimately limited.

Now, Chu Ning once more examined these illustrations and texts.

Among them, the content about the rise of Thunder Fire Sect was mostly in text.

While later, the content after the invasion by Outer Celestial Demons involved much more illustrations.

What puzzled Chu Ning was that these so-called Outer Celestial Demons, apart from looking unlike cultivators and resembling Demon Fiends or Demon Beasts, a significant number of them appeared human-like.

Aside from costumes revealing a distinct difference from this realm, everything else about them was indistinguishable from the cultivators here.
