Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 560 Breaking Limits, Top Grandmaster Nan Zhiwei (Thanks to First Alliance and Han Mumu)
In the alley.

Xie Xiaojiu, dressed in a black outfit, stopped in her tracks.

Then a figure appeared in front of her with a "whoosh".

Looking at that tall figure, Xie Xiaojiu immediately lowered her head.

"grown ups!"

“No need to be so formal!” Jiang Ning’s voice rang in her ear.

Xie Xiaojiu looked up and saw Jiang Ning's chin. Then her gaze moved upward and she saw Jiang Ning's distinct features and warm face.

Her eyes drifted into a daze.

Last year, Jiang Ning was just an ordinary, unknown person in Luoshui County.

But now he has become a figure she can no longer reach.

"What are you daydreaming about!" Jiang Ning chuckled, his voice waking Xie Xiaojiu.

Then he took out the drop of essence blood that he had prepared in advance, which resembled blood jade.

Under the sunlight, the drop of blood in my hand resembled a flawless piece of jade, emitting a faint red glow.

"Swallowing it should greatly help your strength!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaojiu's eyes flickered slightly.

"Thank you for your reward, sir!" she said softly, then swallowed the essence blood that floated down in front of her.

"Digest this well. I'll test your strength in a few days!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, sir!" Xie Xiaojiu replied.

Then she saw Jiang Ning disappear before her eyes without leaving a trace.

What she just witnessed seemed to be merely a hallucination caused by her overwhelming longing.

But she knew it wasn't a hallucination.

The burning sensation in her abdomen, with a constant flow of heat coursing through her body, further confirmed that what she had just witnessed was not an illusion.

the other side.

Jiang Ning returned to his courtyard.

"Going to Divine Sword Manor is not urgent. At my pace, I can get there in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Let them gather at Sunset Valley first, and I will set off after Brother Bai sends me a message!"

Standing by the lake, thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he made his decision.

Then, he took out a Crimson Blood Crystal and put it in his mouth.

After five blood transfusions, a large amount of energy was consumed from the body.

Even with the significant progress made after the previous blood transfusion, the body was not able to return to its peak condition in one go.

After these days of digestion, the body is feeling hungry again, especially after condensing essence and blood through the Blood Burning Secret Technique.

Jiang Ning was not troubled by this at all; on the contrary, he was delighted.

He now has no shortage of resources. The tribute from the Water Moon Sword Palace and the resources confiscated by the Five Swords Sect allow him to squander them at will.

It's good for the body to be hungry, because that allows it to continue consuming energy and replenishing what it previously depleted.

The faster his body recovers, the sooner he can complete the next step: the sixth blood transfusion.

As for obtaining the key to the sixth blood transfusion, he is already showing signs of success.

His breakthrough in the Wind and Thunder Steps had allowed him to experience the true meaning of the wind.

If he continues to improve this technique, he will be able to reach the level of connecting heaven and man and touching the rules.

At that time, they will naturally be eligible for the sixth blood transfusion.

With such strength, he can reach even greater heights, making him even more qualified to face a second-grade Grandmaster.

He knew that as long as he truly made Shenjian Manor and Mitianmen become part of the history of Dongling County, he could succeed.

That would naturally put them at odds with the Immortal Crossing Sect and the Heavenly Alliance.

The Immortal Crossing Sect has two Grandmasters of the Second Rank.

Besides Li Sixiang, a master who had just entered the second rank, there was another veteran grandmaster.

He had no idea what his actual abilities were.

The Yingtian Alliance, on the other hand, is terrifyingly powerful.

Previously, it was a joint organization of major sects in Guangning Prefecture, but now it is said that the top sects of Wuyue Prefecture have also joined Yingtian Alliance.

Only the Five Sacred Mountains Sect, that extraordinary sect, remained outside.

Moreover, according to his current understanding, the sects in the other two major prefectures of Zeshan Prefecture also have the idea of ​​joining Yingtian Alliance.

Thus, the sects belonging to the four major prefectures became closely united, advancing and retreating together.

The matter is now showing signs of progress, but it's stuck on the question of who should be the leader.

In Guangning Prefecture, the Immortal Crossing Sect is the strongest sect.

However, the situation is completely different in Zeshan Prefecture.

The world is divided into nine provinces and thirty-six prefectures.

Four prefectures make up one state.

Zeshan Prefecture consists of four major prefectures.

Even excluding the extraordinary sects within the Five Sacred Mountains Prefecture, the other two prefectures...

Yunmeng Prefecture and Baichuan Prefecture also possess forces no weaker than the Duxian Sect.

In this situation, although the Immortal Crossing Sect has the advantage of being the first to act, how could they be willing to be second to others?
Everyone understands that if all the major sects of the four prefectures join the Yingtian Alliance, they will be united and advance or retreat together.

Whoever becomes the leader of the alliance will have a significant advantage.

It was precisely because Jiang Ning understood these things that he realized his current strength was still far from sufficient.

As far as he knew, among the major sects in Zeshan Prefecture, there were more than two pairs of second-rank Grandmasters.

Even excluding Yunmeng Prefecture and Baichuan Prefecture, let's just consider Guangning Prefecture and Wuyue Prefecture.

Among its various sects, there are nearly two dozen second-rank Grandmasters.

This is only the information circulating on the surface.

If the hidden strength behind it were fully revealed, it would undoubtedly become even stronger.

Even excluding second-grade grandmasters, there are many grandmasters below the second grade who he is wary of.

Shangguan Guyun is a figure of importance in Dongling County, but in Guangning Prefecture, there are quite a few third-rank grandmasters who are stronger than him.

In terms of high-end combat power, Dongling County is considered a low-tier county within Guangning Prefecture.

That is why Xiao Emei's entry into the ranks of the third-grade Celestial Master at the age of thirty-something caused such a great upheaval.

However, although Dongling County was a low-ranking county, it was not at the very bottom.

Among the many counties in Guangning Prefecture, Nanyue County was truly the weakest.

As for the other three prefectures, there are quite a few masters among them who are stronger than Shangguan Guyun.

In particular, Zhongshan County, where Guangning City is located, has even more Grandmaster-level experts, including several who are stronger than Ye Zhengqi.

There is also a top-level master.

Therefore, Jiang Ning also knew that although he was strong enough to kill Shangguan Guyun and others by fighting four against one, he was not truly invincible.

But he also knew he shouldn't be weak.

In normal circumstances, he should be able to fight against that top grandmaster.

He had also heard of that top master, who had undergone seven blood transfusions and was trapped in the realm of celestial beings.

One must take another step forward to ascend to the heavens, undergo eight blood transfusions, become an invincible grandmaster, reach the third rank perfection, and then enter the second rank.

That person was once a truly influential figure, renowned throughout the nine provinces and thirty-six prefectures in his youth.

He was once ranked among the top ten on the Hidden Dragon List.

Now that he has passed his peak and his abilities have declined, he will likely remain stuck in the ranks of the third-grade celestial beings for the rest of his life.

Nan Zhiwei.

Jiang Ning thought of this person who was the number one person below the second rank in Guangning Prefecture.

Seven blood transfusions, a Celestial Master, trapped for thirty years.

That is this person's past.

This person is also the first person below the second rank in Guangning Prefecture.

His greatest achievement was fighting a Grandmaster who had just reached the second rank for ten rounds and was evenly matched.

Various thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning's mind, and he couldn't help but look thoughtful.

"He underwent seven blood transfusions, while I underwent five."

"With my accumulated experience, I should be no weaker than him under normal circumstances!"

"If I were to activate the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body Divine Power, defeating him shouldn't be difficult!"

“But that’s not enough!” Jiang Ning shook his head again.

Even if he doesn't consider facing Nan Zhiwei, he still has to consider facing Li Sixiang.

The Yingtian Alliance had only recently been formed, yet he first destroyed the Five Swords Sect, then the Divine Sword Manor and the Mitian Sect.

In terms of stance, he will inevitably face pressure from the Immortal Crossing Sect.

If even the Immortal Crossing Sect doesn't take action against him, then the idea of ​​forming the Yingtian Alliance, sharing the same breath, and advancing and retreating together is just a joke.

The Yingtian Alliance will become a mere shell of its former self, and may even disintegrate.

This is something he has to consider.

At this moment, he had no regrets about his previous actions against the Five Swords Sect.

Even disregarding the interests of the people in the county, it would be entirely worthwhile to take action against the Five Swords Sect solely for one's own benefit.

Without the resources of the Five Swords Sect, how could he have so many resources to squander?
How could their strength improve so quickly?

Therefore, he had no intention of stopping his attacks on Shenjian Villa and Mitianmen.

They will not attack Shenjian Villa or Mitianmen.

The resources he previously acquired can at most support him to complete the next six blood transfusions, after which he will fall into a state of resource depletion.

The next seven, eight, and nine blood transfusions each consumed more energy than the last.

Each time it gets more difficult than the last.

If he doesn't plunder the resources accumulated over a century by various sects, where else can he get them?

Thinking about these things, he fell into deeper contemplation.

They stirred up the winds and clouds, and entered the game of chess.

You can only move forward, not backward.

To proceed was like walking on thin ice.

But to retreat is to fall into an abyss.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

"If they were to attack me directly, the Immortal Crossing Sect would probably not dare to commit such a grave offense!"

"However, the Yanghu Secret Realm is about to open, and if I am to go, I must be cautious! But I also have no choice but to go!!"

"The Heavenly Gang (Yang) and Earthly Fiend (Yin) are rare treasures for forging divine bones, which are crucial for one's future path to becoming a Martial Saint."

"Moreover, even disregarding the Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin, the sheer number of rare treasures hidden within the secret realm alone makes it worth the trip!"

After a moment's thought, he had made his decision.

In any case, backing down is futile.

"Therefore, the most important thing right now is to continue improving my strength! With every step forward, my strength will increase significantly!"

After thinking it through completely, he took out another Crimson Blood Crystal and put it in his mouth.

With the grinding of his upper and lower jaws, the hard crimson blood crystal was crushed into fragments in his mouth before being swallowed.

Feeling his body absorbing the Crimson Blood Crystal, feeling the trickle of blood flowing through his body, he looked at his control panel.

【Skill】：Wind and Thunder Step (Six times breaking the limit 5549/7000) (Characteristics: Breath of the Wind, Swift Wind and Thunder, Chasing the Wind and Lightning, Rhythm of the Wind, Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, Wind Whisperer)
"Almost there!"

He thought to himself.

Then, he slightly moved his mouth, transmitting his voice to Lüyi's ears.

After informing her that he was going out to cultivate, he moved like a gust of wind and rushed into the Dongling Mountains behind him.

Dongling City is situated against a mountain range, which stretches for over 800 li and is home to many rare treasures. According to records, there are also demons living in the mountains.

Jiang Ning leaped into the Dongling Mountains, closed his eyes slightly, and quietly sensed his merging with the wind. He then used the Wind and Thunder Step to penetrate deeper into the Dongling Mountains.

[Wind and Thunder Step Experience Points +1]

【.】

As time went by, the progress of the Wind and Thunder Steps continued to increase.

In the blink of an eye.

It was already noon, so Jiang Ning stopped and found a spacious and clean place.

After making slight adjustments, he began to breathe in the essence of the great sun above his head.

As wisps of blazing, fiery essence from the sun entered his body, his internal organs were instantly tempered as if in fire.

the other side.

The end time has not yet arrived.

Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu then led their men out of the city.

Xie Xiaojiu, Zhou Xing, Feng Jiuge, and the other two also led their subordinates out of the city.

Jiang Ning, who was deep in the Dongling Mountains, suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, he took out the Heavenly Secret Talisman from his waist.

The Heavenly Secret Register serves as the identity token for the patrol envoy, containing ancient inherited technology that allows messages to be transmitted even when separated by thousands of miles or more.

Only those with immortal roots, like him and Bai Luoyu, can use such treasures.

At that moment, a wisp of his divine sense merged into his identity token, and he immediately received the message that Bai Luoyu had left the city.

next moment.

He pondered for a moment, then told Bai Luoyu his thoughts.

After dealing with this matter, he put the Heavenly Secret Record away again and continued to face the sun, breathing in and out his vital energy.

the other side.

Suburbs of Dongling City.

"How is it?" Zhao Yulong asked.

"Brother Jiang said that we should send him a message before we arrive at Luoxia Valley. He is currently practicing a martial art and will be going to Yanghu in a few days."

"Yanghu?" Zhao Yulong's gaze sharpened. "I heard that there are signs that a secret realm is about to open in the sky above Yanghu. According to the signs, it will definitely open in three to five days, or at most eighty or ninety days!"

"It seems Jiang Ning is heading to the secret paradise of Yanghu!" Zhao Yulong said.

"It must be very dangerous, right?" Bai Luoyu asked.

"It depends on the choice and luck, but overall it's not safe. Even grandmasters could perish there!" Zhao Yulong frowned as he said this: "If Jiang Ning goes to Yanghu Cave Heaven, the annihilation of the Five Swords Sect and Divine Sword Manor might bring him great trouble!"

"Once you enter the secret realm, you are completely cut off from the outside world. If you die, you die, and no one will know how you died!"

"The Duxian Sect and other sects have established the Yingtian Alliance. Now the Yingtian Alliance is developing at its peak. If the Five Swords Sect and the Divine Sword Manor are successively attacked and destroyed, it will be a huge blow to the development of the Yingtian Alliance. How could the members of the Yingtian Alliance, led by the Duxian Sect, sit idly by? They will definitely seize this opportunity."

Upon hearing Zhao Yulong's words, Bai Luoyu's expression turned serious.

"According to the Lord of the Manor, we should advise Brother Jiang!"

“We should try to persuade him!” Zhao Yulong nodded and continued, “Eliminating the Divine Mountain Villa and the Mitian Sect, plus the resources of the Five Swords Sect, would be enough to keep him occupied for a long time. Why should he go to the Yanghu Cave Heaven Secret Realm to fight to the death and risk his life to compete for cultivation resources?”

"Moreover, with his talent, if he lies low for a few more years, his strength will surely reach a higher level!"

"Breakthroughs can be achieved through steady and solid progress; why take risks?"

As Zhao Yulong finished speaking.

Bai Luoyu said, "Brother Jiang cultivates the True Spirit Nine Transformations, the Nine Blood Exchange Method. Will he one day find it as difficult to overcome as Nan Zhiwei?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yulong paused, and after a long while, he slowly let out a sigh.

That night.

The bright moon hangs high.

A cool mountain breeze was blowing.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the top of the mountain; it was Jiang Ning.

[Skill]: Wind and Thunder Step + (Six times breaking the limit 7000/7000) (Traits: Breath of the Wind, Swift Wind and Thunder, Chasing the Wind and Lightning, Rhythm of the Wind, Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, Wind Whisperer)
"Finally, I can break through!"

Seeing the progress accumulated on the panel, Jiang Ning slowly revealed a smile.

Then, he had no hesitation.

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

【Source Energy】:50148(60148→50148)
As his energy points dwindled, a flood of insights surged into his mind.

Jiang Ning slowly closed his eyes.

At that moment, a peculiar rhythm spread outwards from his body.

Where the rhythm passed, the wind ceased its flow, and the mountains and forests fell silent.
