Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 561 The Abyss Stills and the Wind Bends: The Power of Divine Abilities!
The Dongling Mountains are shrouded in night.

As a peculiar rhythm spread, time seemed to stand still, and everything slowed down.

I do not know how long it has been.

As Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, everything around him that had been still suddenly returned to normal.

A mountain breeze rustled the leaves, causing their shadows to sway.

Jiang Ning's robes fluttered in the wind.

As dusk settled, his eyes shone exceptionally bright.

【Skill】：Wind and Thunder Step (Seven times breaking the limit 3/8000) (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, Deep Stillness and Wind Swaying)

【渊渟风偃】：Wind-related supernatural power.

"Truly a divine power!"

Looking at the instructions on the panel, Jiang Ning smiled faintly.

next moment.

Standing atop the mountain, looking down at the low, undulating forests below, he slowly took a step forward.

In an instant.

An invisible rhythm emanated from him.

It was an energy fluctuation that was invisible to the naked eye.

An invisible rhythm spreads like ripples, and everything in its path, heaven and earth, instantly enters a state of near stillness.

The chirping of summer insects and birdsong that had just been playing suddenly vanished in an instant.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's right foot slipped into the air, with no solid support beneath his feet, yet he felt as if he were standing on solid ground.

Then he lifted his left foot and put it down again.

Another invisible rhythm spread from his body.

Wherever the invisible ripple passed, everything trembled, and Jiang Ning's face immediately turned slightly red.

"What an astonishing amount of energy!" he thought to himself, his blood and qi surging within him.

As he took the second step, fully unleashing the supernatural power he had just mastered, he immediately felt an extremely strong reaction coming from all directions, both above and below.

This invisible reaction was transmitted through his body, causing his blood and qi to surge, which made him feel unwell.

"I should be able to take another step and unleash this divine power once more!" After regaining his footing, Jiang Ning had this thought in mind.

He then took a deep breath.

As he lifted his right foot, it felt as if it carried the weight of a thousand pounds, or as if he were carrying a mountain on his back, with immense pressure bearing down on him.

"I can handle it!" he thought to himself.

Without hesitation, he placed his right foot down.

boom--

In an instant.

His bones and muscles throbbed, his blood surged, and he seemed to hear the heavens and earth tremble at that moment.

Then, two streaks of bright red blood slowly flowed down from the nasal cavity.

at the same time.

An invisible rhythm swept across a radius of a hundred feet with each step he took.

Wherever the invisible rhythm passed, heaven and earth trembled.

The surroundings became even more silent, as if they had fallen into a deathly stillness.

Standing tall in the void.

Jiang Ning reached down and touched the coldness under his nose, then saw bloodstains on his fingers.

"Looks like I've really reached my limit. Three steps is my limit!"

A thought flashed through his mind.

My mind relaxed.

This invisible rhythm then disappeared.

Then the surrounding area returned to normal.

A mountain breeze blew gently from afar, stirring his long hair and lifting his robe.

Then he saw that the rocks and ancient trees within a radius of a hundred feet seemed to have been completely turned into sand at that moment.

Countless fragments were stirred up by the mountain wind and drifted far away.

"Is this the effect of the Abyss Still Wind?" Jiang Ning gasped inwardly as he watched countless particles being stirred up by the mountain wind.

Within a radius of a hundred feet, everything was reduced to dust, whether it was grass, trees, or rocks, all were now slowly scattered by the wind.

Such terrifying power is far beyond what he can achieve with his current strength.

"The first step of the Abyss Stillness and Wind-Swept Aura is its oppressive power, which can bring everything within a hundred feet to a standstill. From the second step onwards, it transforms into a deadly divine power, with each step unleashing a more powerful effect than the last!"

"My body can only withstand the backlash of three steps at most!"

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

This is the effect he has observed from his initial testing.

As for the fourth step, he neither could nor dared to take it.

The backlash from those three steps had already caused his bones and muscles to rattle, his internal organs to shift, and his internal injuries to become severe.

The fourth step, if he were to actually take it, he felt that the backlash could cause his body to explode on the spot, leaving him with a slim chance of survival.

Then, he took two deep breaths.

call--

Then expel the turbid air from your internal organs.

The foul air he exhaled was tinged with a hint of blood.

this moment.

He immediately felt completely refreshed.

The internal injuries and blood stasis that had just accumulated in the body were completely gone.

His injuries had already healed in that short period of time.

"Three steps, that's my limit!!" he muttered to himself.

His gaze fell on the mountain peak he had just been standing on.

Compared to before, the mountain peak beneath our feet has now shrunk by a full 30%.

As for the vegetation and rocks within a hundred feet, they have all vanished, with only the mountain peaks retaining about 60-70% of their original size.

But it was already completely bare.

He looked at his panel again.

"good!!"

He then nodded in satisfaction.

This supernatural ability enriched his methods; its strength lay not in one-on-one combat, but in one-on-many combat.

Those whose strength is inferior to his will find it difficult to withstand the burst of this supernatural power.

When this supernatural power was unleashed to its limit, the rocks within a radius of a hundred feet collapsed, the vegetation was reduced to ruins, and all living beings perished.

The mountain peak beneath our feet, which resembles a sword blade, has been ground down by 30% of its volume.

Having personally experienced this power, Jiang Ning knew that it was not something an ordinary grandmaster could withstand.

If I had such means yesterday...

Facing Shangguan Guyun, Shui Lan Xiangu and the other three, all that is needed is to unleash this divine power at full force, and all four of them will instantly shatter and bleed into the sky.

next moment.

He closed the panel and sped away like the wind in the direction of his home, leaving behind only the landscape he had destroyed.

This means he was here and left his mark.

The next day.

The sky is dimly bright.

Jiang Ning pushed open the door; the courtyard was still covered in dew.

Apart from the two rain showers that Linglong summoned, there hasn't been much rain around Dongling City in recent days.

However, due to the Dongling Mountains behind it, the drought did not have a significant impact on Dongling City.

In addition, the two recent heavy rains drenched the mountains and forests, and the flow of the Nu River did not shrink, causing the Dongling City to be flooded in the early morning due to its terrain.

The mountain winds blowing from the depths of the Dongling Mountains late at night have made the morning air very humid these days.

"The people of Dongling County should still be able to survive!" Jiang Ning smiled as he sensed the moisture in the air.

Then, he looked at his panel and his eyes lit up.

【Source Energy】:68173
After yesterday's consumption, the energy points have returned to over 68,000, increasing rather than decreasing.

"It's been so long since I've felt this wealthy!" Looking at the energy points on the panel, Jiang Ning felt a sense of relief.

A while ago, he was short of energy points every day, and he wished he could use one point as two. Now, however, he has more than he can use.

Such a great change is because he is supported by two sects with a century-old history, the Water Moon Sword Palace and the Five Swords Sect.

He immediately raised his hand and waved.

As the golden light flashed in his hand.

He took out the crimson blood crystals one by one from the mustard leaves.

"Twenty-eight left!" He quickly counted them, a thought flashing through his mind.

Although there wasn't much left, he wasn't in a hurry.

Because the Five Swords Sect's various real estate properties were handed over to the Water Moon Sword Palace for management, Xiao Emei still needed to pay herself a lot of money.

At the same time, Shuiyue Sword Palace already owed itself a fortune.

In the coming days, the Water Moon Sword Palace will gradually send him resources.

Now, with his strength, he has no fear of what tricks the Water Moon Sword Palace might pull.

He then grabbed a Crimson Blood Crystal and put the rest back into his pouch.

Bang——

After tossing the Crimson Blood Crystal into his mouth, he chewed it with his upper and lower jaws, instantly crushing it into crumbs before swallowing it.

As his body automatically absorbed the fluids, he felt countless trickles of water burst forth from his abdomen and then flow into every part of his body.

Subsequently.

He quickly washed up.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the lake, breathing in the fresh air, he began to circulate his qi and blood to aid in the digestion of the Crimson Flame Blood Crystal he had just swallowed.

A single Crimson Blood Crystal is worth a hundred taels of gold on the market, and it contains a considerable amount of energy.

But now he is physically strong, like a dragon or an elephant, and his blood and energy are as vast as the ocean.

He rapidly digested the Crimson Flame Blood Crystal he had swallowed, circulating his vital energy and blood throughout his body.

After a cup of tea.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

"Not bad!" He nodded slightly, feeling that he was not yet full, and knew that he could continue to refine the Crimson Flame Blood Crystal.

The more the body can eat, the faster it can recover from the loss of new blood before the body regenerates.

He then took out another one, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed the disintegrating stones.

After a stick of incense.

Jiang Ning stood up.

"I felt full after eating three!"

"At the current rate, it should take about two or three more days for my body to fully recover from the previous damage!"

After replenishing his body's current digestive needs, Jiang Ning gave Linglong and the old turtle some instructions, then only told Liu Wanwan, who was making breakfast, before setting off.

Even without relying on water-based magical techniques, although he is fast now, it still takes him quite a while to get there.

Yesterday, he originally planned to quickly reach Luoxia Valley by waterway, which would take very little time.

Having completed the breakthrough in the Wind and Thunder Steps, he mainly focuses on this movement technique at home today.

Seven breakthroughs in the Wind and Thunder Steps were still insufficient for him to reach the level of connecting heaven and man and drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.

Since that was the case, he simply set off.

At home, he grinds for this skill; when traveling, he uses the Wind and Thunder Step to grind for experience points in this movement technique. There is no difference for him.

As the sun rose and golden rays pierced the clouds, illuminating the ancient city walls, Jiang Ning's figure swiftly disappeared out of the city.

Sunset Valley!

Walking on the road outside the city, Jiang Ning's goal was to reach the direction of Luoxia Valley.

Sunset Valley is located ten miles south of Divine Sword Manor.

With the speed and agility of a martial artist, a distance of ten miles can be covered in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

This time, after discussing with Zhao Yulong, all the martial artists above the eighth rank in the patrol manor came out to attack Shenjian Villa.

As for the ninth-rank martial artists, they remained in Dongling City.

Because Shenjian Manor is the most powerful force in Dongling County besides the imperial court.

The number of strong individuals surpasses that of the Five Swords Sect.

The entire manor has a population of over three thousand, of whom eighty percent are surnamed Shangguan, and fifty percent of them share the same bloodline and belong to the same clan as Shangguan Guyun.

In terms of cohesion and strength, Shenjian Villa is much stronger than Wujian Sect.

Because apart from the 50% of the members of the Divine Sword Manor who belong to the same clan, the rest of the members are all martial arts prodigies. Over the past hundred years, many martial arts prodigies have continuously joined the Divine Sword Manor.

This is what led to the current situation of Shenjian Manor.

Fifty percent of the population belong to the Shangguan clan, sharing the same bloodline.

Thirty percent of the people were given the surname Shangguan, or they were married into the Shenjian Manor.

The remaining 20% ​​consist of non-staff members and exceptionally talented disciples newly recruited in recent years.

As Jiang Ning traveled, information about the Divine Sword Manor flashed through his mind.

The key to taking action against Shenjian Manor is speed.

Now that Shangguan Guyun has only been dead for a little over a day, it is difficult for Shenjian Villa and Yingtian Alliance to know that Shangguan Guyun has died. Therefore, this is the best time to take action against Shenjian Villa and Mitianmen.

If the Divine Sword Manor and the Yingtian Alliance find out about this and react, there will definitely be powerful figures far surpassing Shangguan Guyun who will move in.

Even Li Sixiang might personally intervene, which would make things many times more difficult.

along the way.

The Wind and Thunder Steps were in operation throughout Jiangning.

Walking through the mountains and wilderness, his speed had reached speeds exceeding the sound barrier.

However, the actions were as gentle as a breeze, without causing much of a stir.

These phenomena demonstrate his exceptional skill in capturing the essence of wind.

With every movement, his figure had become one with the wind.

[Wind and Thunder Step Experience Points +1]

【.】

As time went by, the progress of the Wind and Thunder Steps also steadily increased.

Noon.

A great river blocked Jiangning's path.

On the weathered boundary marker on the shore, two large characters are prominently displayed.

Cangjiang River.

Jiang Ning also stopped.

【Skill】：Wind and Thunder Step (Seven times breaking the limit 476/8000) (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, Deep Stillness and Wind Swaying)

"Over four hundred points this morning, looks like it'll take some more time!" The thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately closed the panel.

Then he found a clean boulder by the river, sat down, faced the sun, and began to breathe in the sun's essence.

Late noon.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Cultivation Technique (Breaks the limit of 3687/20000 in one go) (Trait: Longevity Seed)
Jiang Ning stood up, glanced at the panel, and then closed it.

next moment.

Looking at the wide river ahead, which was over a hundred feet wide, he leaped forward and traversed the waves.

Several boats were sailing downstream on the river.

The Cangjiang River, a canal that leads directly to Yanghu, flows past a small part of Dongling County towards Nanyue County. It passes through one-third of Nanyue County and continues further south to reach Yanghu.

On ordinary days, there are boats coming and going on this canal.

Now there are even more on the river.

"Grandpa, look!!!" On a three-story boat, a girl in red pointed at the river and pointed directly at Jiangning.

Upon hearing this, an elderly man with white eyebrows, who had just come out of the room, moved swiftly and arrived at the edge of the ship's deck.

"What a graceful movement! What a handsome young man!" The old man with white eyebrows praised as he watched Jiang Ning cross the river.

"Grandpa, is his river-crossing technique comparable to yours?" the girl asked.

The old man chuckled: "Your grandpa has made a name for himself as the Desert Eagle."

Then, watching Jiang Ning's movements as he crossed the Cangjiang River, his eyes flickered.

"This person is so young, and his movements and appearance are so handsome. I've never heard of him before!"
