Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Leaving Luoshui County.

In just a short while.

He went to Medicine King Valley again.

He lingered in Medicine King Valley for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before leaving again.

In the attic.

A middle-aged man with slightly graying temples watched Jiang Ning leave.

This man was Lu Qingshan, the master of Medicine King Valley.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan looked in the direction where Jiang Ning had disappeared, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"To travel from the capital to Medicine King Valley in a single night—what kind of strength is that?!"

At this moment, the turmoil in his heart was far greater than the outward turmoil he showed.

Although he didn't mention this point in their conversation just now.

However, he knew very well that Jiang Ning would not skip having New Year's Eve dinner at home.

Even Lu Qingshan didn't have the qualifications or the face to make Jiang Ning skip the New Year's Eve dinner to visit him.

Jiang Ning came here at most because it was on his way and because he missed some old friendships.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Luoshui County.

He knew that the only person Jiangning could take seriously here was Wang Jin from Luoshui County.

Wang Jin, the owner of Canglang Martial Arts School.

"After the New Year, I need to go out and visit more people!"

"Now that he is the Marquis of Dongling and the Inspector of Zeshan Prefecture, I am not qualified to get close to him, but Wang Jin is an excellent way to do so!"

"After all, I personally treated Wang Jin before!"

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of relief and a touch of luck.

Looking back now, that initial thought was absolutely correct.

In Dongling County, there are many forces stronger than Medicine King Valley.

In particular, the Divine Sword Mountain Lord, the Five Swords Sect, and the Mitian Sect were once behemoth-level forces in Dongling County.

Even the authorities wouldn't dare to provoke them easily.

But last year, some were destroyed and others declined, without causing any ripples.

Compared to these behemoths, Medicine King Valley is as weak as an egg.

“It’s alright—” Lu Qingshan stood in the darkness and let out a long sigh.

the other side.

Jiang Ning went to Dongling City again, stayed at the prefectural governor's mansion for half an hour, visited a few other places, and then left again.

When he returned to the capital after his journey, it was already midnight.

The weather grew colder.

The entire capital fell silent.

He passed through the invisible array covering the capital, yet he did not cause the slightest ripple.

When he appeared in front of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

They could hear the sounds coming from the courtyards ahead.

You can hear the little bean bun giggling happily.

"I'm not asleep yet!" he said with a faint smile.

He then extended his knuckles and tapped on the vermilion gate.

dong dong dong-

The sound of lightly tapping with finger bones traveled far.

He then stopped what he was doing.

Because he heard footsteps approaching the front yard.

After a while.

The gates of the Imperial Preceptor's residence opened, and under the glow of red lanterns, a delicate face, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, came into his view.

The visitor was Qinghe.

Short and thin, with a petite figure, Qinghe.

"Lord Marquis!!" Upon seeing that it was Jiang Ning, Qinghe's eyes immediately lit up.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Have you all rested?"

Qinghe shook her head: "No one has rested!"

Then he added, "My lord, should we tell them that you have returned?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No need! It's too late! Everyone should rest!"

"Then I'll go prepare bathwater for the Marquis and let him take a bath first?" Qinghe said.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ning appeared in the courtyard wearing a thin training uniform.

Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few drops of water still clinging to it.

It was obvious that he had just finished taking a bath.

At this moment, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, it is already the dead of winter.

The night air was exceptionally cold, enough to condense water vapor and freeze the lake, but it couldn't freeze the water droplets in his hair.

His own field of influence spread, making him seem like he was in a completely different world from the outside environment.

The longer he remained in the First Grade Hunyuan Realm, the more clearly he could feel the incredible nature of the First Grade Hunyuan Realm.

After entering the first-grade Hunyuan Realm, one becomes a world unto oneself, with no energy leaking out, and the essence, energy, and spirit circulate endlessly.

He could feel that his strength was increasing every moment as time went by.

next moment.

Without moving his body, his mind had already sunk into his inner world.

The silver moon in the spiritual platform and the golden sun in the dantian shone simultaneously, and the scene of the sun and moon shining together became increasingly realistic in the inner world.

The experience points started to fluctuate steadily and rapidly again.

[Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Dharma Experience Points +332]

[Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Dharma Experience Points +335]

【.】

Efficiency seems to have improved slightly as the inner world has become more stable and the spirit has become clearer.

In the blink of an eye, one night passed, and another day passed.

It's just past midnight.

The three flowers of crimson gold and silver within the body suddenly accelerated.

[Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Dharma Experience Points +337]

After accumulating experience points over several days, he suddenly reached a critical point, making him feel full and overflowing.

He opened his eyes.

[Skill]: Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method + (Three Limit Breaks 40000/40000) (Traits: True Self Unique (Light Gold), Insight into True Spirit (Dark Purple))
On the panel, I saw the familiar symbols again.

As for accumulating experience points, that's already maxed out.

Then, with a slight thought, he looked at the energy points on the panel.

[Source Energy]: 398864
The previous few attempts to break the limit had consumed over 100,000 units of energy, but the remaining nearly 400,000 units of energy were still an astonishing fortune.

"The fourth time breaking the limit requires 100,000 energy points, which is still sufficient."

Without the slightest hesitation, he focused his consciousness on the plus sign after the Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method.

next moment.

The immense source energy, like a floodgate opened, roared into the cultivation technique that had reached its perfect limit!
A full 100,000 energy points evaporated instantly!
[Source Energy]: 298864
Om-! ! !
This commotion is far greater than the previous three breakthroughs combined!
It was not an external phenomenon; Jiang Ning had firmly locked it within three feet of his body using his own Hunyuan Domain, preventing it from leaking out in the slightest.

The true roar originates from the deepest leap of life, from another qualitative change in the origin of the true spirit!
He saw countless tiny, pure silver specks of light, seemingly containing the mysteries of the universe, gushing out from his spiritual platform, instantly filling the entire platform and spreading to every corner of his body.

These points of light are no longer fragments of the true spirit from outside, but rather the true spirit essence that he himself has collected and gathered in the river of time under the stimulation of breaking the limits of his cultivation technique. It is the ancient and pure true spirit essence that originally belonged to him!

slam-la-

The sound of the river's waves was clearer than ever before, as if it were flowing right next to his ears.

He felt as if he were going against the flow of time, seeing countless fragmented lights and shadows, which were the scattered imprints of his true spirit in endless time.

It contains a series of scenes.

Those images are all memories recorded from the past.

At this moment, these marks are forcibly recalled and integrated into one's own being.

The soul began to undergo incredible changes.

The originally solid, golden-cast form became even clearer with the incorporation of silver light. The vertical illusory line between the eyebrows solidified further, transforming into an extremely thin silver line.

That is the last remnant of the true spirit's mark, a manifestation on the soul, and also the soul's vision.

With a slight thought, the silver lines opened and closed slightly, projecting out an invisible and intangible gaze that could illuminate the very source.

Through introspection, he saw the structure of tiny particles in his own blood and qi, the most fundamental flow of true energy, and even the extremely complex and mysterious patterns on the invisible boundary that constitutes the "domain" constantly being created, destroyed, and recombined.

This is an insight that transcends the eyes, a perspective that directly glimpses the underlying rules of all things, and a concrete manifestation of the true self.

At the same time, all three flowers bloom together.

The crimson essence flower is no longer just a symbol of surging blood and qi; deep within it emerge countless subtle golden lines, which are traces of the natural transformation of true essence within blood and qi.

Within the golden aura, strands of silver light intertwined like meridians, forming the pathways through which divine thoughts flowed into true essence.

At the core of the silver divine flower, a single crimson light shines like an inextinguishable star, the very source from which the life essence nourishes the soul.

The three elements permeate each other, yet are blocked by some invisible barrier, preventing them from fully merging.

next moment.

The bright moon deep within the mind suddenly shone with a brilliant silver light, resonating simultaneously with the golden sun in the dantian and the red star in the heart!
"Om-!"

A magnificent roar, audible only to Jiang Ning himself, erupted from within him.

No unusual phenomena appeared above their heads.

Because he had become a Hunyuan, forming his own domain.

Within his inner world, he saw crimson, gold, and silver light soaring into the sky, intertwining within his body to form a three-colored pillar of light.

The three flowers within the body simultaneously materialize in one's inner world, slowly rotating and drawing closer.

The golden patterns in the red flowers spread and grow, the silver veins in the gold flowers expand and extend, and the red sparks in the silver flowers burn fiercely.

The edges where the three elements meet begin to blur and merge, with colors permeating each other.

It felt like an eternity had passed, yet also like a fleeting moment.

The rotation suddenly stopped.

The three flowers have disappeared.

Instead, there was a hazy, indistinct glow, constantly flowing with crimson, gold, and silver light, yet it was a unified, inseparable halo.

It floats quietly above the inner world, no longer distinguishing between red, gold, and silver flowers.

There is only one kind of primordial light, perfectly harmonious, unhindered, and endlessly regenerating.

Within the radiance, the three colors of light—essence, energy, and spirit—coexist, sometimes merging together, sometimes clearly distinct.

At that moment, the panel appeared in his field of vision.

[Skill]: Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method (Four Limit Breaks 133/50000) (Characteristics: True Self Unique (Light Gold), Insight into True Spirit (Dark Purple), Three Elements United (Light Gold))

【Three Elements in One (Light Gold)】: The essence of essence, qi, and spirit resonates, the boundaries dissolve, and they can be transformed naturally at will.

"Can be freely converted!"

Looking at these words, a thought stirred in his mind.

Then, I began to explore.

After a while.

He understood.

The existence of this characteristic of the unity of the three elements (essence, energy, and spirit) allows the boundaries between them to dissolve.

Essence is both Qi and spirit.

Qi is spirit, and also essence.

The spirit is both essence and energy.

The three elements resonate and interact with each other.

It can bring the three elements in his body into balance, and maintain that balance permanently.

From then on, the improvement of Qi and blood is not only the improvement of true essence, but also the improvement of spirit.

With this characteristic, there are no weaknesses in the physical body, true essence, or spirit.

As expected of a gold-tier item!

He was immediately filled with astonishment.

With this characteristic, the path to becoming a top-tier official is a broad and smooth road in his eyes.

There are no longer any restrictions on the gathering of three flowers at the top.

Then, a thought crossed his mind.

His heart trembled slightly, and a surge of qi and blood instantly transformed into pure true essence, flowing into his dantian without any stagnation.

With a slight condensation of his divine soul, a wisp of divine thought transformed into a warm and nourishing force of qi and blood, nourishing the meridians throughout his body.

The true essence flowing in the dantian can also transform into a cool, silvery glow that nourishes the soul at any time.

There are no barriers between the three; they flow freely as if they were originally one thing.

He slowly opened his eyes, and three flowers were reflected in his pupils.

next moment.

With a thought, three flowers appeared above his head.

Gold, crimson, and silver—three flowers, each about the size of a fist—appeared in a triangular shape three inches above his head.

But unlike before, with his thought...

The three colors shimmered, the red and silver flowers dimmed, and the golden flower flourished.

In an instant.

He felt his true energy rising continuously, like water surging upwards.

Then, the golden and silver flowers dimmed, while the red flowers flourished.

Rumbling--

A roar resounded within him, his blood and qi surged like a volcano erupting, and a terrifying aura burst forth from his body.

After some experimentation, he further appreciated the wonder of the unity of the three elements.

It not only balances his energy and spirit, but also replenishes it immediately if any part of it is depleted.

Strengthen one aspect, and all three will advance together.

Furthermore, it can reduce two things and strengthen one, or reduce one thing and strengthen two.

If needed, his spirit, essence, and energy can all be boosted two to three times in a short period of time.

"Is this the power of the gold attribute?"

Sensing the various changes within his body, he was filled with amazement.

After a while.

He looked at the panel again.

[Source Energy]: 298864
After some losses, he had less than 300,000 energy points left.

"If the Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method continues to break through, the next breakthrough will require 200,000 Source Energy Points!"

Upon realizing this, the thought that had arisen in his mind immediately vanished.

Throwing away 200,000 energy points would increase his strength, but it would also instantly leave him strapped for cash.

Nowadays, the amount of energy points required to make a breakthrough in any skill is not small.

At this moment, the three flowers on his head slowly dissipated and disappeared into nothingness.

at the same time.

He looked in the direction where Jiang Li, Jiang Yiming, and Xiaodoubao were.

Although he didn't use any abilities, he could vaguely sense the presence of the three people.

That's because we're connected by blood, sharing the same roots and origins.

He could sense an invisible connection between the three of them and himself, and he could feel that their spirits and energy were rising.

"Does the saying 'When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven' come true?" he murmured, realizing the truth in his heart.

Such a change was not brought about by the First Grade Primordial Chaos Realm.

Rather, it was the repeated breakthroughs in the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method that touched upon areas he had never understood before.

According to records in ancient books.

Although there are records of this claim, those are all mythical figures, not immortals or gods.

Now, let alone comparing him to figures in mythology, he is still quite far behind even immortals and gods.

In terms of cultivation level, he was only at the first-grade Hunyuan realm of martial arts.

In terms of realm, he is comparable to a strong person in the Yang God Realm.

However, this Yang Shen realm is not the Yang Shen realm of this era, but the Yang Shen realm of the prosperous ancient era.

He quietly felt the invisible connection between himself and the three of them, and sensed their continuous growth and development.

A sense of joy welled up inside him. (End of Chapter)
