Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

The Dongning Marquis's Residence.

lobby.

Jiang Ning strode over carrying a steaming basket of steaming food, followed closely by Lin Qingyi, who was dressed in plain white.

I just stepped into the front hall.

He saw that only Xiaodoubao was sitting on a stool in the front hall, his legs dangling in mid-air.

Jiang Yiming watched over him from the side.

"Uncle!!" Little Bean heard footsteps, turned his head and his eyes immediately lit up.

next moment.

She jumped straight up from the stool.

thump--

Then, the impact of landing caused his legs to buckle, and he knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his hands.

Jiang Yiming, who was standing next to him, was startled and quickly ran over.

Suddenly.

He then saw a figure appear in front of him.

At that moment, Jiang Ning also squatted down.

As for the steamer basket in his hand, he had already placed it on the dining table next to him.

Steaming hot, like wisps of smoke from a cooking fire.

"Uncle!!" The little dumpling, who had fallen to the ground, immediately burst into tears upon seeing Jiang Ning.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

He then picked up the little dumpling in one scoop.

"Uncle, it hurts." Little Bean spread out his hands and held them out to Jiang Ning.

His chubby hands were covered in pebbles and dust, and you could clearly see some tiny pebbles piercing his skin and embedding themselves in it.

He raised his hand and brushed it across, and the little bean bun's palm instantly became shiny and clean, but the tiny wounds were still visible to the naked eye.

It was obvious that his skin was injured when he braced himself with his palms.

"It won't hurt anymore soon!" Jiang Ning said, gently rubbing Xiaodoubao's palms.

In an instant.

The wounds on both palms disappeared instantly, restoring them to their original state.

"Really!! It really doesn't hurt anymore!!" Little Bean looked at his palms in surprise, his palms tumbling in front of his eyes.

"Uncle, and my knees too." Then, she looked at Jiang Ning pitifully.

As he spoke, he bent over and lifted up the cuff of his right trouser leg.

There was a slight oozing of blood from my knee earlier.

Jiang Ning rubbed her knees with both hands, and the wounds disappeared instantly.

"Alright! Don't be so naughty next time," Jiang Ning said.

"It's not because Doubao saw Uncle that she got excited!"

Jiang Ning smiled as he looked at the little dumpling with her pouting lips, then reached out and ruffled her hair before getting up.

Just then.

Green Ripple carried the tray and stepped across the threshold of the front hall.

"It smells so good! Sister Lvyi!!" Little Bean Bun sniffed the air hard and twitched his nose.

"Little Bean Bun, are you hungry?" Green Ripple greeted her with a smile, her emerald green dress making her look even more adorable.

"I'm hungry!!" Little Bean rubbed his belly, as if to express how empty it was.

Upon seeing this, Lüyi's smile widened even more.

She then placed the tray on the table.

"Young master, this is noodles that Sister Wanwan specially made for you!" Green Rhyme said, bringing out the porcelain bowl, as big as a washbasin, from the center of the tray.

The bowl of steaming noodles smelled delicious, topped with three poached eggs and stacked slices of braised pork. Jiang Ning's mouth watered instantly.

After the meal.

Jiang Ning put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.

He rubbed his stomach, looking satisfied.

The feeling of fullness from the food in his stomach made him feel incredibly satisfied.

"Uncle, I'm full too!" Little Doubao put down his chopsticks and swung his legs.

Jiang Ning smiled and ruffled her hair.

Then, he looked at Jiang Li, who was slurping his food.

"Brother, I will be going into seclusion for a while these days."

"Seclusion?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Li put down his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Ning: "For how long?"

"It's hard to say." Jiang Ning shook his head. "It could take a few days or half a month or a month. He'll come back occasionally in the morning or evening, but usually stays on the island of Lishui Palace. It's quiet there, suitable for cultivation."

Jiang Li didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded: "Alright, don't worry about things in the manor. I've already counted those gold notes, and I'll exchange them for rare and precious herbs, spiritual fruits, and pills for you today. I'll send them to the Lishui Palace later."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother!" Jiang Ning said.

"What are you saying!" Jiang Li glared at him. "Why are you being so polite with your older brother?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing more.

After a while.

At the entrance of the Marquis's residence.

"Young master, why don't I go with you?" Green Ripple couldn't help but ask again.

“No need!” Jiang Ning shook his head and continued, “I’m going to the Lishui Palace simply for secluded cultivation. It’ll be nothing but cultivation!”

“Then I will wait for you at the manor and help you clean and tidy up the house,” said Lüyi.

Jiang Ning nodded.

Just then, Lin Qingyi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.

“I’ll go with you! After all, the senior said that the seed still needs time to be completely perfect, and I need to be by your side.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wanwan glanced at Jiang Ning and Lin Qingyi with some suspicion, her gaze then falling on Lin Qingyi's abdomen.

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"No need!" Jiang Ning shook his head and said, "If it's not necessary, I'll come back sooner or later!"

"Alright then!" Lin Qingyi nodded.

"Then I'll be going!" Jiang Ning said to the group.

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from their sight in an instant.

The Lishui Imperial Palace is located on the central island.

Because of Jiang Ning's previous orders, the island is now deserted.

It was early morning.

A figure flashed by and appeared on the waterside pavilion.

The visitor was none other than Jiang Ning.

The lake breeze rustled his robes.

Looking at the shimmering lake in front of him, Jiang Ning fell into deep thought.

Upon arriving at the Lishui Palace, he went into seclusion to cultivate, but he had not yet decided which cultivation method to practice.

Knowing that the future could change at any time, he understood that his top priority was to improve his own strength as quickly as possible.

Whether it's Princess Xuan standing shoulder to shoulder or Xia Xuanyan lurking in the shadows, both are hidden threats.

These threats have not yet materialized, simply because that aging martial saint is on his side.

Once the Martial Saint passes away, these threats will erupt instantly.

Moreover, he knew there were more enemies lurking in the shadows than he had imagined.

He must improve himself as much as possible before then; the more strength he has, the better he can cope with any changes.

Moreover, even before these changes, he had not forgotten that the threat from the Yellow Heaven Sect could appear at any time.

If the Huangtian Sect were to advance towards Zeshan Prefecture, he would have no choice but to take action, both morally and logically.

Now he has achieved the realm of a primordial spirit immortal and mastered the art of rainbow transformation.

He could return to Zeshan Prefecture in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, which was why he abandoned his previous choice not to stay in Guangning Prefecture for long. If anything unexpected happened, he could appear anywhere in Guangning Prefecture or Zeshan Prefecture in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

If the Yellow Heaven Sect chooses to launch a major offensive, it will give him enough time to get there.

As he pondered this, his gaze swept across the panel.

"I cannot cultivate the Sun True Scripture for the time being! Firstly, it's too inefficient, only yielding one experience point per progress. Secondly, continuing to cultivate this technique will only worsen my Yin-Yang imbalance!"

As he looked at the Sun Scripture section on the panel, a thought flashed through his mind.

“However,” he thought again, “if we can resolve the imbalance of Yin and Yang, this cultivation method can be put on the agenda! According to that woman from the Moon Palace, the state of perfect success is to condense the Great Sun Dao Fruit and enter the realm of True Immortal.”

Upon realizing this, he immediately closed his eyes.

next moment.

In his dantian, he saw that the stretching immortal tree had suddenly grown a new leaf.

The new leaves are a vibrant gold, radiating dazzling brilliance, and every vein on the leaves exudes golden light.

Are these the branches and leaves of the sacred tree that symbolize the Mahavairocana Sutra?
Seeing the changes in the immortal tree, Jiang Ning understood.

If one continues to cultivate the Mahavairocana Sutra, one's realm will break through, transformations will blossom, and fruition will occur.

According to the theory of the four realms of immortality, the day the flower blooms is the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In the Celestial Realm, flowers bloom, which are also flowers of the Dao, flowers of the Great Dao.

This is the cultivation of immortality.

Everything depends on the Immortal Tree.

However, to reveal the power and supernatural abilities of the Immortal Tree, one must use an immortal body as a medium to truly display the divine might of the immortal path.

"When the flower blooms, it is a celestial being; when it bears fruit, it is a true immortal."

"If we reach this point, even without an immortal body or cultivation, and only able to unleash one or two percent of the combat power of a true immortal based on our cultivation level, wouldn't that be enough to withstand any unforeseen events?"

The thought flashed through his mind again, but he could only regretfully glance at this section on the panel.

The practice of the Mahavairocana Sutra will not only inevitably lead to his current imbalance of Yin and Yang.

At the same time, it takes too long.

Each training session only grants a small increase in experience points.

It takes 100,000 experience points just to go from beginner to expert.

Even with his current efficiency, if he devoted all his energy to this technique, it would still take him several years to achieve his first breakthrough.

To achieve perfection, it takes a long time.

His gaze then moved upwards, landing on the "Source Point" column.

[Source Point]: 160.1
"Once you've accumulated over a hundred points of Origin Points, you can choose a cultivation technique to further improve and then break through."

"According to the Martial Saint, to take the next step, one must have an inexhaustible physical body and an unrestrained spirit, growing infinitely stronger and reaching infinite heights, and one day one can reach a new world."

"From this perspective, if I want to reach his level, I need to take two paths: strengthen my physical body and enhance my mental power."

"Now that my primordial spirit has been formed and my realm has reached the level of an immortal, my spiritual strength is still not up to standard, perhaps because of the imbalance of the three flowers."

Silently reviewing the situation in his mind, Jiang Ning slowly closed his eyes, focusing his mind on his body.

Then he saw a crimson flower fall on his heart, a golden flower on his dantian, and a silver flower on his spiritual platform.

Between the three flowers, there is an invisible bridge connecting them and allowing them to transform into one another.

"Previously, in order to enter the Unity Realm and condense divine power, I needed to achieve a balance of essence, energy, and spirit. Now that I have reached the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm, there is no need to continue!"

"The interplay of essence, energy, and spirit has ironically become a drag on overall performance."

"To see the new world, the key lies in both the body and the spirit."

Thoughts raced through his mind, and his mind quickly settled. He made his decision.

next moment.

The bridge between the three flowers was instantly severed.

The three elements of essence, energy, and spirit are independent of each other and no longer circulate among them.

After what happened last night, he immediately began to observe the changes in his body.

boom--

A sudden roar resounded from his mind.

After losing the restraint of the two flowers of essence and energy, the silver flower suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

The light was intense, illuminating his mind, and he immediately felt his mental strength begin to rise steadily.

The spirit began to break free from its constraints and began to grow stronger.

At the same time, he also observed that the growth of divine power within his body had stagnated.

After an incense stick has burned.

My mind is clear, and my spiritual power continues to grow.

His mind became increasingly clear, lucid, and insightful.

Meanwhile, the crimson flowers swayed, and occasionally, rosy light spilled from their hearts.

The radiant glow made his blood surge and his bones vibrate and resonate.

"It seems that the Flower of Qi is the biggest obstacle for the Three Flowers!" he muttered to himself, and then stopped paying attention to it.

The three flowers, which served as a bridge for mutual exchange, are still broken.

In his view, the amount of divine power needed to cover his entire body was sufficient.

The divine power covering his entire body could nourish his muscles and bones and his physical body at all times.

Quantitative growth does not necessarily lead to qualitative change.

If he wants to rapidly increase his strength, he must advance on both the physical and mental fronts simultaneously.

Only with an infinite physical body and an unconstrained spirit can one rise infinitely and ultimately step into the new world described by the Martial Saint.

That realm is the realm that countless people in the world yearn for, and it is also the realm that he wants to reach now.

Once you reach that legendary level, all crises will be easily resolved.

Once Jiang Ning made up his mind, he immediately calmed down and turned his attention to the skills section on his own panel.

Although the Sun Scripture is powerful, it should not be used lightly for the time being. Further advancements in the Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword will enhance one's mastery of space, Yin and Yang, and swordsmanship.

But that's not the direction he's seeking now.

The physical body is limitless, the spirit is unrestrained, infinitely growing stronger, and infinitely rising higher.

These sixteen words are all he has in his heart now.

Furthermore, the last breakthrough of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword consumed a full one hundred source points.

The next breakthrough will require two hundred source points.

Even if he were to take all of Ji Minghao's rewards and exchange them for rare and precious materials for him to absorb and digest, he might not be able to reach two hundred source points.

Even if it were achieved, it would be an extreme waste.

His mind raced, and his gaze swept quickly across the other column.

They quickly identified one of the columns.

[Skill]: Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method (Four Limit Breaks 23737/50000) (Characteristics: True Self Unique (Light Gold), Insight into True Spirit (Dark Purple), Three Elements United (Light Gold))

This technique is a typical example among the techniques he currently possesses that can significantly increase mental strength.

And his intuition told him that improving his skills would benefit the path he wanted to take.

"The next breakthrough will only require twenty source points, and I've already accumulated more than half of my experience points!" The thought flashed through his mind, and he made his decision.

"That's it!"

Once his mind was settled, he immediately closed his eyes.

Then, the key points of practicing the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method flashed through his mind.

All things in the world are illusions, only I am real, only I am eternal.

Only when the spirit and self are one can one be the true self.

next moment.

His consciousness appeared in his mind.

Within his spiritual platform, his primordial spirit sat cross-legged in the void.

His features were clearly defined, and his face was exactly the same as his.

"The last time I practiced this method, it was when my mind and soul were merged. I wonder what kind of changes will occur this time when I merge with my primordial spirit?" (End of this chapter)
