Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

In the courtyard.

The moonlight, like water, fell on the snow, reflecting a bright white light in every corner.

As soon as Jiang Ning had a thought, his energy points instantly decreased by 20,000.

As the points decrease.

Deep within the mind, an incomparably magnificent and ancient resonance suddenly erupted!

Subsequently, resonance was no longer limited to the spiritual realm.

hum-

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, erupted simultaneously from every inch of his flesh, every wisp of his true essence, and every strand of his divine thought!

Hua Hua Hua——

He could clearly hear the rushing sound of the river.

He saw countless white points of light converging into his body.

Those are fragments of the true spirit, the origin of all living beings, and innate power.

He understood.

in the courtyard.

At this moment, the space was violently shaking, and the falling snowflakes did not stop, but rather, centered on him, presented a strange state of coexistence of solidification and flow.

Nearby snowflakes hovered motionless in mid-air, while distant snowflakes continued to drift leisurely down, as if they were the dividing line between two completely different speeds of time and space.

Three feet above their heads, three flowers—red, gold, and silver—manifested uncontrollably, radiating brilliant light!

The crimson flower burst forth with life essence as hot as magma, instantly dispelling the surrounding cold air. The snow on the ground silently melted and evaporated, revealing dry, warm soil.

The golden light emanating from the falling flowers became increasingly solid, outlining intricate and profound Dao patterns in the air, faintly resonating with some primordial energy between heaven and earth, emitting a deep, resonant sound.

The silver divine flower transformed completely into a dazzling silver moon, its cool and pure light spreading out like mercury spilling across the ground.

It not only filled the courtyard, but also covered several surrounding courtyards, and even penetrated the walls of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, casting a hazy silver glow on the nearby streets.

The silvery light was not dazzling, but it carried a kind of truth that could see beneath the surface of all things.

The three extraordinary phenomena in the courtyard shone like the sun, their silvery light splashing out and creating Dao patterns, which had already alarmed the entire Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

Su Qingying was the first to notice.

She was in a quiet room, trying to further eliminate the remaining divinity within her.

As that magnificent resonance originating from the source of life spread out along with the silvery light, her aura suddenly froze, then transformed into a streak of pure white light, instantly appearing outside the courtyard where Jiang Ning was in seclusion.

She did not rush in, but stood on the wall, her bare feet touching the snow-covered tiles, her gaze piercing through the hazy yet meaningful silver light, looking at the figure in the courtyard surrounded by tri-colored light.

"This is... the resonance of the three flowers, a sublimation of the origin?" No, it's more than just a simple resonance of the three flowers! It's a leap in the level of "divine"!

A surge of intense emotion welled up in Su Qingying's usually cold eyes.

She could clearly sense that the aura of "true self" contained within the silvery light was so intense that it caused a slight stinging sensation in her soul, as if she were facing a pure and flawless primordial moon.

"Your progress... is rather astonishing! No wonder you are the reincarnation of that mortal." She muttered to herself, her fingers tightening slightly in her sleeve.

Such an unusual phenomenon could not be concealed at all.

Within the capital, any powerful individual whose spiritual cultivation has reached a certain level has likely already sensed this.

Almost at the same time that Su Qingying arrived, in the adjacent courtyard.

Jiang Li, Jiang Yiming, and Jiang Yuanyuan were all awakened from their sleep at the same time.

It wasn't the sound that woke me up, but a deep-seated feeling of excitement and warmth.

It was as if a close, shared life form was undergoing a fundamental transformation, and the aftershocks emanating from it invigorated their blood and made their minds clear.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?" Liu Wanwan noticed the movement of the person next to her and opened her eyes to ask.

In the darkness, her eyes shone brightly.

"What a strange feeling!" Jiang Li murmured, then continued, "I feel my mental strength increasing! It's become extremely active!"

"Mental strength increased?" Liu Wanwan asked in surprise.

Jiang Li nodded, confirming again, "Yes!"

“Father, Mother! Doubao too!” Little Doubao, who was huddled in the corner, also opened his mouth and said.

"Little Bean Bun too?!" Liu Wanwan was even more surprised.

At this moment, Jiang Li got out of bed, went to the window, opened it, and immediately looked in the direction where Jiang Ning was.

He saw the three extraordinary phenomena converging in the sky above the distant courtyard.

"It's Aning!!"

"What, Aning?" Liu Wanwan asked.

"I've heard that in ancient times, certain great beings could cause the entire family's origins and bloodlines to leap forward," Jiang Li murmured.

"Does Brother Li mean that your sudden commotion with Xiaodoubao is because of Aning?" Liu Wanwan asked with a strange expression.

“Yes!” Jiang Li nodded.

“How could A Ning be such a great being?” Liu Wanwan shook her head.

“A-Ning is not, but perhaps is, on this path! In recent days, I have already known of A-Ning’s extraordinary nature. In more than eight hundred years, A-Ning is the first! A-Ning’s growth along the way is no less than that of a figure in mythology!” Jiang Li said.

Just as Su Qingying had predicted, the strange phenomenon above the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, especially the silvery radiance that covered several miles, as bright as moonlight yet containing a strange Daoist charm, could not be concealed at all.

Within the capital, countless divine thoughts, some strong and some weak, quietly rose up, like invisible tentacles, cautiously reaching towards the direction of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

The Observatory of Astronomy, located on the Observatory Platform.

A blind old man gazed in the direction of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, his eyes deep: "Silver light reflects the shadow, true meaning is revealed... Su Qingying? What kind of secret technique is she cultivating? How can she trigger such a pure spiritual phenomenon? No, this silver light seems to be mixed with extremely pure blood and true essence resonance... Three Flowers Circulation? Could it be that she has already touched the mysteries after the Three Flowers Gather at the Top?"

In his eyes, there were very few people in this small group whom he couldn't understand.

And Su Qingying is such a person.

His origins and strength are shrouded in mystery. In his view, perhaps only the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty knows his true origins and identity in the entire capital.

Now, looking towards the direction of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, he sensed that even though it was shrouded in a great formation, there were still strange phenomena emanating from it, and his heart was immediately stirred.

Wu Wangfu.

Xiang Yuan strode out of the training room, looked up at the sky, and his eyes, as large as copper bells, flashed with a sharp light: "Good heavens! This silver light is clear and cold, illuminating the very soul. Is this the method of Grand Preceptor Su? No, it feels purer and more youthful? It's somewhat like Jiang Ning's style, but the intensity..."

He scratched his head, somewhat uncertain.

He had recently witnessed Jiang Ning's actions, and he had also recently witnessed the National Preceptor Su Qingying's actions. The two had very different auras, but this silver radiance seemed to possess a certain quality.

Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Wuque stood under the plum tree in the courtyard, a snowflake frozen on his fingertip.

He felt the true self contained within the silvery glow that permeated the entire city, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"It seems to have some characteristics of the 'Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method,' but it is obviously much stronger, and it is clearly not something that kid can do."

"The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top technique is a secret art passed down through generations in blessed lands and grotto-heavens. There are only a handful of people in the world who have mastered it. Given the mysterious nature of that Imperial Preceptor Su Qingying, it is quite possible!"

He murmured to himself, a thoughtful look appearing beneath his slightly furrowed brows.

The Divine Might Prince's Palace.

Li Tianwen stood atop the pavilion, his robes fluttering in the night wind.

His eyes were like lightning, as if they could pierce through space and look directly at the source of the strange phenomenon.

"Within the silvery glow, the aura of the Three Flowers swirling is faintly visible! It's somewhat similar to the Three Flowers Secret Manual that Master once taught! But to be able to display such a phenomenon, one must be a top-tier expert in the world!" "Judging from this, that Grand Preceptor is indeed extremely well-hidden!"

"To lose to Fu Yuan Shengjun so easily, this is truly going to be a good show!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer.

It was as if the truth had been seen through the fog.

at the same time.

The various powerful families, hidden forces, and spies lurking in the capital's blessed lands were all in an uproar, their thoughts intertwined, exchanging private messages and speculating amongst themselves.

"An unusual phenomenon at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion! Silver light shines everywhere, and Daoist aura arises spontaneously, suggesting that a powerful individual has broken through a critical bottleneck!"

"Is it that mysterious Imperial Preceptor Su? Is she finally going to take that step?"

"It doesn't seem like pure Taoist magic or martial arts, but rather like an unusual sign of the simultaneous sublimation of essence, energy, and spirit... Could it be the legendary phenomenon of 'three flowers gathering at the top and five energies returning to their origin'?"

"Su Qingying is unfathomable. It's not surprising that she received some guidance from the Martial Saint. If it's her, the situation of the Great Xia Dynasty may change again."

"It could also be that Marquis of Dongling, Jiang Ning. He has been staying in seclusion lately and is said to be practicing asceticism."

"Jiang Ning? Although he is exceptionally talented, his cultivation time is still short. It's unlikely that he could trigger such a phenomenon involving the fundamental level. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it's Su Qingying!"

"."

All these speculations have focused on Su Qingying.

Given her unfathomable strength, mysterious origins, and long-term residence in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, it is perfectly reasonable for her to have further enhanced her strength.

Jiang Ning, despite his exceptional talent and recent rise to prominence, is considered by most forces to lack the accumulated experience and cultivation level to support such a terrifying phenomenon.

That's not a commotion that could be caused by such strength.

The Imperial Preceptor's Residence, inside the courtyard.

In the center of the silvery light, Jiang Ning seemed oblivious to the tremors outside the mansion and throughout the entire city.

His entire being was immersed in the earth-shattering changes brought about by the second breakthrough of the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method.

As his soul merged with countless fragments of true spirit and was baptized by the silver light, it continuously solidified and rose higher, giving him the feeling that he was about to become the sole pillar supporting the spiritual platform.

Although the number of petals of the Divine Flower did not increase, it appeared even more dazzling. The falling silver light not only nourished the soul but also replenished the Essence and Qi Flowers, causing the crimson and gold radiance to rise as well. The circulation between the three flowers suddenly accelerated, forming a more stable and efficient prototype of the inner world.

He could feel that the speed at which his own "domain" was condensing was increasing exponentially.

The Primordial Chaos Realm, which was originally estimated to take some time, now seems to be just a few days away!

At this moment, he opened his eyes, his gaze burning brightly, even brighter than the moon in the sky.

He felt that his essence, energy, and spirit were merging and resonating with unprecedented efficiency.

The red, gold, and silver radiance no longer flowed in distinct lines, but rather permeated and transformed each other, constructing within him a small, self-sufficient universe that was constantly regenerating.

Although the boundaries of this "domain" are not completely solidified, they have begun to subtly repel external cosmic energy and form their own cycle.

"I was right after all!"

"The breakthrough using the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method, while not increasing the number of the Three Flowers, is effective in helping one reach the Primordial Chaos Realm faster!"

I felt various changes in my body.

He couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Only by reaching the first-grade realm faster could he find peace of mind sooner.

The first-grade Hunyuan Realm is when the body becomes a world unto itself.

Taking this step will elevate your strength to a new level.

The strange phenomena in the courtyard had gradually subsided.

The three flowers, red, gold, and silver, radiated inner light. Although they still hovered above his head, they no longer exuded an oppressive aura. Instead, they appeared more ancient and natural, blending seamlessly with Jiang Ning's overall aura.

Snowflakes resumed falling normally, and the world returned to tranquility.

Then, he looked at his control panel.

[Source Energy]: 448784
Even with a reduction of 20,000 energy points, the energy points are still plentiful.

His gaze then shifted downwards, landing on the "Skills" section.

[Skill]: Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method (One-time limit break 103/20000) (Trait: True Self Unique (Light Gold))

"Light gold properties!" He was startled.

Above the deep purple lies light gold!
This is also his second light gold one.

Then, he felt a surge of joy.

He had previously suspected that the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method could greatly improve the efficiency of cultivation, mainly due to the characteristic of True Self as desired.

But now this characteristic has undergone a transformation.

It's not just a simple upgrade from purple to gold, but a complete transformation.

This characteristic, when it was at the purple level, was "true self as one," but now it is "true self unique."

A single word can sometimes make all the difference.

And if his prediction is correct, he will benefit from this current characteristic.

On the basis of his existing efficiency in practicing the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method, he may be able to reach an even higher level.

How could he not be pleased with this?

Today, he understands the wonder and mystery of the Lingtai Cave's method of illuminating the true self.

This is not a technique that simply elevates one to the status of a "god," but rather a technique that gathers the true spirit, controls the true self, and strengthens the origin of all living beings.

With each breakthrough, he could feel mysterious and unpredictable changes taking place deeper within his body.

【True Self, One and Only (Light Gold)】: The true spirit returns to its rightful place; I am the only one.

The true spirit has returned to its rightful place; I am the only one!

He carefully pondered these eight words.

Compared to before, the descriptions and introductions are much simpler now.

But the simpler something is, the more extraordinary it seems to him.

After pondering for a long time, he couldn't find anything more, so he had to temporarily close the panel.

Then, he looked up at the east, where the sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

Overnight, he had completed the second breakthrough of the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method. Although the strengthening of his spirit could not directly increase his strength, it made his future path much clearer and brought him one step closer to the first-grade Hunyuan Realm.

He quietly sensed the changes in his body again.

"Perhaps I can reach the first rank around the end of the year!"

The thought that there were less than ten days left filled me with a sense of excitement.

Once he reaches the first rank, he can do many things with peace of mind.

Such strength gives him greater confidence.

However, he also has no intention of revealing it.

He was well aware that, under the current circumstances, without truly fearless strength, prematurely revealing it would only invite an even greater crisis.

Because no one in the world wants to see a martial saint appear again.

Nobody wants to feel like they've been suppressed by one person for over eight hundred years again. (End of Chapter)
