Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 712 The Yin-Yang Sword of the Void is partially mastered, a sword strike from the Void!
Imperial Prefecture.

That night.

The night was dark and windy, and the evening breeze howled.

suddenly.

A bright sword flash tore through the night sky, and light and darkness alternated and vanished in the courtyard.

Countless faintly visible sword shadows crisscrossed the area, intersecting with each other.

The figure was completely invisible, as if it had blended into the depths of the night.

【.】

A series of prompts flashed before Jiang Ning's eyes.

Practicing swordsmanship in the inner realm, the many insights he accumulated were constantly transformed into progress in his swordsmanship.

As flashes of inspiration crossed his mind, the progress of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword continued to increase.

a long time.

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +69]

【.】

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +71]

Jiang Ning only stopped what he was doing after every notification that flashed before his eyes had returned to normal.

After a few breaths.

The crisscrossing sword shadows dissipated, and the howling wind in the courtyard returned to calm.

Only the long sword remained in Jiang Ning's hand, gleaming coldly in the darkness.

Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction in the darkness.

"If I do this a few more times, the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword will be able to break through to the minor completion stage! Then I'll catch up with Senior Sister Shen!" The thought flashed through his mind.

Then she slowly closed her eyes.

Tonight at the Lin Yuan gathering, he consumed a large amount of spiritual fruits and demon beast meat, and also drank countless amounts of spiritual wine.

He can now feel that the energy within him is almost inexhaustible.

Especially after reaching the second-grade Grandmaster level, the rhythm of his breath subtly harmonizes with the heavens and earth, resonating with them.

The body's recovery speed for any waste is many times higher than before.

The golden mist that was originally very easy to deplete in his dantian is now constantly condensing, generating, and merging into his dantian for him to control and manipulate.

Returning to the interior location once again.

He gripped the longsword in his hand and practiced the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword once more.

In the interior scenes, the passage of time is barely noticeable.

Unaware of the passage of time.

Jiang Ning practiced his sword over and over again.

As the saying goes, "Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear," and the same applies to practicing swordsmanship.

Through continuous sword practice, he gradually gained relevant insights and developed different perspectives.

The Taixu Yin Yang Sword underwent some silent changes in his hands.

I do not know how long it has been.

It could be a month, it could be half a year, it could be longer.
He felt a moment of disorientation.

He suddenly stopped practicing his swordplay.

He looked up at the sky above, where a dazzling sun shone brightly amidst the swirling white mist.

He squinted, looking at the blazing sun overhead, at the monotonous, unchanging sky, and felt a sense of disorientation wash over him.

"No! I have to go out!" He closed his eyes, sensing that something was wrong with his condition.

next moment.

As heaven and earth were turned upside down, time and space changed.

He felt the evening breeze brushing against his face and heard the constant chirping of insects.

He suddenly felt as if he had returned from illusion to reality.

"Staying in the interior for a long time is actually a bit scary!"

Recalling his state just now, he still felt lingering fear.

Inside, the scenery is always the same, and time seems to never exist.

Spending a long time in this environment gradually put him in a state of nihilism.

This state is even more terrifying than having your five senses shut off and being confined to a dark, dark room.

He could just sense that if he continued in that state, his mind and consciousness might gradually dissipate and he would fall into delusion.

"I need to rest! I can't continue!" The thought flashed through his mind.

He raised his hand and put the longsword into his pocket.

The next day.

Jiang Ning pushed open the door, and the dazzling golden sunlight shone into his pupils, causing him to squint slightly.

"It's a nice day!"

He stretched lazily as the sun rose in the east.

In an instant, his muscles and bones roared, as if thunder had exploded within him.

"That feels great!" He smiled, feeling delighted.

Because he saw the changes on the panel.

[Source Energy]: 191377
Overnight, the energy points surged by 50,000.

"The royal family is still so wealthy!" He closed the panel, feeling deeply moved.

He managed to amass over 50,000 Source Energy Points from a small meeting at Lin Yuan.

In the past, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the wealth of the royal family.

Even a tiny bit that slipped through his fingers brought him enormous wealth.

Previously, the energy points used on the two sword techniques amounted to 40,000 points, but now they have increased by a full 50,000 points.

next moment.

With a swift movement, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in the center of the courtyard.

hum-

With a clang of the sword, the light of the sword in his hand rolled like a tide.

The void began to distort, and ripples spread out continuously.

The sword shadows began to spread.

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +188]

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +188]

【…】

The longsword in his hand twirled, splitting yin and yang, distorting the void.

His mind was perfectly clear, countless flashes of inspiration burst forth, and insights surged forth like a tidal wave.

At this moment, he felt that he was in excellent condition, reaching a peak state that he had not achieved for a long time.

The more he practiced, the more absorbed he became, and the more focused he became.

Gradually, he lost all sense of self and others...

It entered a mysterious state.

I do not know how long it has been.

A gentle breeze blew by, and an ordinary-looking girl appeared in his courtyard.

Upon seeing the swordsmanship Jiang Ning was practicing, Su Qingying's pupils contracted.

Then, thinking of Jiang Ning's identity, she felt a sense of relief.

time flies.

As the light and shadow shifted, leaves drifted down.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ning felt a sudden emptiness within his body, and the mysterious swordsmanship in his hands instantly returned to normal.

He instantly snapped out of his mystical state, his eyes regaining their clarity.

At this moment, he felt his dantian was depleted and empty, and he felt his body becoming weak and lacking energy.

However, when he saw the changes on the panel, he was immediately filled with immense joy.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Mastery 19557/20000)

"The path of martial arts is about alternating between relaxation and tension; that is the true way!" he thought to himself.

He then closed the panel and looked at Su Qingying, who was already in the courtyard.

"Congratulations, sir, on your sudden enlightenment!" Su Qingying said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

"Why are you here so early in the morning?" As he spoke, Jiang Ning walked towards the well.

He hasn't brushed his teeth or washed his face since he woke up this morning.

His countless lifetimes in the past had instilled this habit in him long ago.

Unless there are special circumstances, whenever he has time, he always rinses his mouth and washes his face before he feels refreshed.

Even now, my body is already free of impurities.

But a habit is a habit.

"When I woke up, I thought I would see the adults!" Su Qingying said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning shook his head.

"It was already too late when I wanted to sleep last night, so I didn't bother you!"

"My lord, I have waited until the hour of Yin (3-5 AM)," Su Qingying said. Hearing this, Jiang Ning looked at him in surprise.

Then he shook his head and said nothing more.

After a while.

He broke off a willow twig, bit it open, breaking it into fluffy pieces, and then rinsed his teeth thoroughly inside and out.

After feeling that his mouth was completely clean, he scooped up a few handfuls of warm well water and vigorously washed his cheeks.

"Let's go! Let's get some breakfast!" Jiang Ning said casually, still using the way he addressed her from her previous life.

"My lord, where shall we eat?" Su Qingying asked, puzzled.

“Go find my older brother and sister-in-law. Based on experience, it’s about time!” Jiang Ning said with a faint smile.

Having lived with his older brother and sister-in-law for almost two years, he knows their daily routine very well.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying's eyes lit up.

"Your cooking is delicious!" she praised.

Seeing the change in Su Qingying's expression, Jiang Ning glanced at her and said, "Looking at you, so indifferent to worldly desires, I thought you didn't like food."

Su Qingying said, "I didn't like it before, but what you did, sister-in-law, was different."

"What's the difference?" Jiang Ning asked.

"It has a special flavor, different from the feeling of those restaurants. It has a kind of earthy, homey aroma, like the smell of firewood in a home. This feeling seems to breathe soul into the food, making it stand out from the crowd."

Hearing Su Qingying's hesitant description, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

He roughly understood how Su Qingying felt.

It's commonly known as the feeling of home.

Like many people, no matter how delicious, appetizing, and visually appealing the food is, it's impossible to find fault with it.

But it can never compare to the taste of mom's cooking.

"Then let's find out what it feels like to be human!" Jiang Ning said.

"What does it feel like to be a human being?" Su Qingying asked, somewhat puzzled.

"If you want to truly possess humanity, it's not just about breaking free from your own shackles, but also about seeing how people live, immersing yourself in their lives, experiencing the meaning of being human, and feeling the pursuit of being human!"

Jiang Ning, posing as a psychology teacher, began to deceive people.

Hearing this, Su Qingying nodded as if she understood.

"Then I will follow the adults and say whatever they do."

"Just follow me!" Jiang Ning said.

After a while.

"Sister-in-law!" Jiang Ning greeted Liu Wanwan as she walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

"Sister-in-law!" Su Qingying, who was beside Jiang Ning, also spoke up.

Upon seeing the two of them, Liu Wanwan's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Qingying's arrival is just in time, we can start eating soon!"

"Sister-in-law, let me help you!" Su Qingying said.

"No need, no need!" Liu Wanwan waved her hands repeatedly as she saw Su Qingying approaching, then pushed her shoulders toward Jiang Ning with both hands: "You and Aning just sit there! Leave everything else to your sister-in-law!"

After saying that, she added with a pained expression.

"Look how thin your shoulders are, you must not have been eating properly before."

“Sister-in-law is right, I really didn’t eat for years!” Su Qingying said, bowing her head.

"Then follow me closely from now on! I'll cook delicious food for you every day and make sure you're plump and healthy!" Liu Wanwan said confidently.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning was momentarily speechless.

Su Qingying is a remarkable person; her physique is almost fixed.

As the saying goes, the spirit and the body are one.

The spirit is the soul, and the flesh is the body.

The soul and the body have long since reached a state of perfect harmony.

For the physical body to undergo changes, the spirit and soul must change simultaneously.

If they are not on the same wavelength and their spirit and body are not in harmony, it will hinder the integration of essence, energy and spirit, and impede the progress of martial arts.

After breakfast.

Jiang Ning returned to his courtyard.

The martial arts exam is tomorrow, so he doesn't plan to go out today.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Mastery 19557/20000)

He glanced at the panel and then closed it.

"Less than 500 experience points short!" he thought to himself.

next moment.

A flash of golden light appeared in his hand, and a long sword materialized there.

As the sword light in his hand split apart.

Yang represents daytime, and Yin represents nighttime.

Day and night alternate around him, and the void twists around him.

Within the area covered by this sword technique, space seemed to change, and the rules became distorted.

In the intertwined void, human figures and sword shadows differentiated.

Countless sword shadows and human figures filled the surroundings, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

【.】

As time passed, the experience points of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword continued to increase.

The sun's shadow slowly settled into the center.

a long time.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Mastery 19973/20000)

Taking advantage of a lull in his sword swing, he quickly scanned the panel and then his heart skipped a beat.

"Just a little bit more progress!"

At this moment, he felt even more motivated.

The sword light in his hand shifted and changed unpredictably.

Another moment passed.

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +69]

Another notification flashed in front of me.

Boom——

He suddenly felt a jolt in the depths of his mind.

All the experience accumulated before has finally come to fruition at this moment.

Countless accumulated insights merged in his heart, and then he became enlightened, the fog that had shrouded his mind suddenly dissipated.

"So this is the minor completion of the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword!!"

At that moment, the clouds parted and the sun shone through, revealing the clear blue sky, and he finally understood.

He had already stopped what he was doing and stood in the courtyard, holding his long sword.

The void returned to calm, and the courtyard became tranquil.

I do not know how long it has been.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils were as black as ink, without the slightest hint of light.

This blackness seems capable of swallowing everything in the world.

He looked down at the longsword in his hand.

"The minor mastery of the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword has allowed me to wield the Guixu Sword!" The thought flashed through his mind.

next moment.

laugh--

He looked up and thrust his sword out.

In an instant, the void in front of him twisted into a ball, then completely dissipated, turning into a state of disordered void.

A terrifying suction force erupted in front of him.

He saw the light distorted and swallowed by the chaotic void before him.

We saw the airborne dust particles being frantically swallowed up.

Seeing the pebbles on the ground beneath my feet rise into the air, and seeing the fallen leaves drifting a meter away change their trajectory.

Everything in the entire courtyard was drawn to this sword strike at that moment.

"What a terrifying sword strike!!" He was immediately alarmed when he felt the energy fluctuations of the sword he had unleashed.

The void transformed into a disordered and distorted state, and all matter was instantly annihilated.

This made him clearly feel the terror of this sword strike.

That was a terrifying sword strike that even he himself didn't have the confidence to withstand.

"Is this the supreme sword technique of the Shangyang Immortal Sect? Did Senior Sister Shen win the top spot in the Crimson Emperor Cave Heaven with this sword technique?"

"I wonder what changes this sword technique will undergo when it is fully mastered!"

"What, then, is perfection?"

"How powerful must the Shangyang Immortal Sect's even stronger cultivation techniques be?"

"If the limit is broken, what kind of mysterious changes will occur, and what level of characteristics will emerge?"

At this moment, countless thoughts intertwined in his mind.
