Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1033 True Form Imprint
Moreover, Ningfa noticed a significant change on the surface of the Heavenly Book.

A mysterious rune appeared in the upper left corner, shimmering faintly with spiritual light.

As Ning Fa's divine sense touched this special rune, he received a message, which made his eyes widen in surprise.

"No way, this really works?" Ning Fa murmured in shock.

This rune represents a special ability that the Heavenly Book has added or restored, and the strangeness and power of this ability are so great that Ning Fa can hardly believe it.

Ning Fa suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and immediately wanted to give it a try.

However, he did not act rashly. Instead, he immediately communicated with the Heavenly Book to see if the mysterious being was still spying on him.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief when he found nothing; the mysterious being must have been seriously injured by the Heavenly Book earlier.

Ning Fa then flipped his right hand, and a small, pure gold sword appeared, radiating an extremely sharp aura.

This is a high-grade third-tier magic weapon. Ning Fa has forgotten which enemy he killed to obtain it.

He then focused his mind on the mysterious rune on the surface of the Heavenly Book, and it suddenly lit up, shooting out a beam of light that enveloped the pure gold sword.

Then, within the mysterious runes, an identical phantom of a pure gold sword appeared, only the size of a grain of rice.

Ning Fa immediately exerted force with both hands, twisting the sword into a pretzel shape, and finally shattering it into more than a dozen pieces.

Then Ning Fa looked at the Heavenly Book with excitement in his eyes, and communicated with the mysterious runes again with his thoughts.

As its brilliant light shone forth, the illusory image of the small sword that he had previously stored flew out and enveloped the fragments.

After a flash of white light, a perfectly intact pure gold dagger appeared before Ning Fa.

"It actually works!..."

Ning Fa was utterly shocked; he could only believe it when such a phenomenon appeared before his eyes.

The ability that the Heavenly Book of Crossing Origins gained, or rather restored, is called [True Form Imprint].

The effect is as just shown: you can first imprint the true form of something into the Heavenly Book, and then you can revert that thing back to its initial state when it was imprinted.

This is closely related to the core ability of the Heavenly Book: tracing its origins.

Ning Fa couldn't help but guess that it was very likely that when the Heavenly Book was making a copy of the true form, it identified it as the source of this thing, so it could be traced back to this source state.

This special ability gives Ningfa a great deal of room to maneuver.

After all, the core ability of the Heavenly Book—tracing the origin—can trace a completed spiritual object back to its initial state.

For example, a magical artifact can be traced back to the various spiritual ores used to forge it.

Or, like Ning Fayi at the beginning, he used the Heavenly Book to trace the origins of the elixir back to the various spiritual herbs used to refine it.

While this ability is powerful, it primarily enables Ningfa to obtain valuable resources, offering no assistance in combat.

But this kind of true-form rubbing is different.

Just like before, for example, he used the damage to that pure gold sword as a price to unleash some kind of powerful supernatural ability.

As a result, using this True Form Imprint ability, Xiao Jian was able to recover instantly.

This means he can unleash that powerful divine ability again, leaving his opponent completely dumbfounded.

Moreover, this ability can also be used on some high-powered, one-time-use spiritual items.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa immediately took out the Great Immortal Annihilation Pearl.

As he communicated with the Heavenly Book, the runes representing the imprint of the true form appeared, and a small bead's phantom image appeared within the runes, clearly indicating that the Great Immortal-Destroying Bead had been imprinted with its true form.

Ning Fa couldn't help but laugh out loud. This ability was extremely helpful to him. It was equivalent to him having two Great Immortal Destruction Pearls, or even more, as long as he had enough Source Points.

Because this kind of true form imprinting and retrospection comes at the cost of consuming the source points of the Heavenly Book, just like when the Heavenly Book restored that pure gold sword, it consumed ten points of third-tier source points.

For example, the source points required for this Great Immortal Annihilation Pearl are much higher, a full five points, which is no different from the number of source points traced back to it.

Moreover, besides that, the Heavenly Book can currently only reproduce the true form of one thing at a time.

Ning Fa felt regret but not too much disappointment, after all, this was reasonable, otherwise it would be too outrageous.

He couldn't help but chuckle, looking at the Heavenly Book as if it were a priceless treasure, and he felt its mystery and power more and more.

At this moment, as he looked at the runes imprinted on the true form, a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Can a celestial book be copied onto a living person?

For example, himself?
Thinking of this, Ning Faxin's heart began to pound violently. His eyes flickered, and he immediately decided to give it a try.

As he communicated with the mysterious rune again, it unsurprisingly emitted another beam of light that enveloped him.

Ning Fa was a little nervous, but he didn't notice anything unusual. Soon, a tiny humanoid phantom appeared in the rune, looking exactly like him.

"Really??"

Ning Fa's eyes held both surprise and bewilderment.

With another thought, the humanoid phantom flew out from the rune and transformed into a beam of light that enveloped him.

Ning Fa immediately felt an incomparably comfortable aura enveloping him. This feeling was like soaking in a hot spring; his magical power, blood and energy, and even his soul were rapidly recovering, reaching their peak state in the blink of an eye.

Ning Fa's eyes shone brightly as he looked down at his fists.

Then he laughed, and then he burst into loud laughter.

This true form imprint can actually work on living beings!
The specific effect is to restore his energy and spirit to the initial state of the rubbing.

This can practically be considered a top-tier recovery elixir.

There are very few recovery pills for Nascent Soul level cultivators, and almost none that can restore divine consciousness, let alone restore essence, energy, and spirit at the same time.

Ningfa was pleasantly surprised, but then had some doubts.

If it were a return to the initial state, then it would seem reasonable that his memories would also be recalled, but what he had just recovered was only pure divine soul power, without involving any memories.

The profound mystery of this method was not immediately clear to him, but it was undoubtedly more advantageous to him.

Then Ningfa looked at the Heavenly Book again to check the consumption of its source points.

The third-order source points of the Heavenly Book had changed from 2,130 to 2,030.

In other words, if Ningfa were to perform a True Form Imprint on himself, it would consume 100 Tier 3 Source Points each time.

This number of source points is not small, but Ning Fa can accept it. After all, this ability to instantly restore one's condition is like having an extra life when fighting powerful enemies.

Ning Fa couldn't help but smile.

Regardless of the mysterious being's purpose in arranging him here, he had indeed gained immense benefits from the three spiritual realms on the second level.

Ning Fa glanced around and saw that the deafening roar of the waterfall had almost disappeared.

That once enormous waterfall is now just a trickle of water cascading down from the sky.

The spring not far away was almost dry, and above it was a distorted ball of light, from which one could vaguely see the scene behind it, which was obviously the exit of this place.

Ning Fa's eyes flashed, and then he communicated with the Heavenly Book again, imprinting his true form into the rune as a precaution.

Then he took a step forward and flew into the ball of light.

In the blink of an eye, Ningfa had arrived at another place.

Ning Fa, fully alert, glanced around and found himself in a white jade plaza several miles long and wide, with the Thousand Whirlpool Spirit Mountain still at the edge of the plaza.

On the surface of this mountain, there are seven distinct vortexes that are different from the others, and each vortex has a special spiritual realm mark above it.

Ningfa looked up again.

At this moment, the summit of Mount Ling could be vaguely seen, where rays of light shone everywhere, and a mysterious lake could be faintly discerned.

However, a distorted halo enveloped the mountaintop, and even a slight sense of it revealed the terrifying power it contained, clearly indicating that it was not a place for Nascent Soul cultivators to trespass.

Ning Fa seemed to be deep in thought. He was probably on the third level of Thousand Whirlpool Spirit Mountain. This was not the end. The lake at the top of the mountain seemed to be the end.

He couldn't help but ponder it again.

Just what exactly is this Abyss Heavenly Pool?

Why is there such a peculiar trial ground?
Were those two beings, who seemed to be true spirits, fighting over the Abyss Heavenly Pool itself, or something within it?
Could it be the mysterious water droplet that was absorbed by the Heavenly Book before?
What is the identity of that mysterious being?
Ning Fa suppressed his thoughts, deciding to make the best of it since he couldn't leave now anyway.

Fortunately, he can sense that mysterious existence through the Heavenly Book, so he maintains a constant mental connection with it.

Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he was the first to arrive at the third floor.

It makes sense, considering he encountered almost no trouble in the three spiritual realms on the second level, so his speed was naturally much faster.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa immediately flew forward and soon arrived near Thousand Whirlpool Spirit Mountain.

He carefully examined the seven vortexes, and then the ethereal voice reappeared in his mind.

"There are a total of seven spiritual realms on the third level of Mount Ling. Passing through any one of these realms will be considered as completing this trial, and you will be qualified to go to the Heavenly Pool to meet the Ancestral Master."

"Yuanzu?"

Ning Fa raised an eyebrow; this short sentence revealed important information.

The lake on the mountaintop seems to be the Heavenly Pool mentioned in the voice, and perhaps it is also the origin of the name Mingyuan Heavenly Pool. Could this Abyss Ancestor be the master of this mysterious place?

And how powerful must this Ancestral One be to possess such a powerful and mysterious secret realm?

Could it be the one who arranged this for me before?

Thinking of this, Ning Fa suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

If that's the case, then it's extremely bad.

Fortunately, he possessed the Heavenly Book, because judging from their previous encounters, the Heavenly Book easily overwhelmed the power of that being.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa felt a little more at ease.
As he glanced at the seven vortexes, his eyes first widened in surprise, then his gaze immediately settled on one of them, and he couldn't help but show excitement.
