Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 576 Nobody wants another eight hundred years! (Thanks to the Second Alliance of the Book, Jingji Nine Gates)
The next day.

Zhong Ling patted her mouth and yawned all the way up to the deck, where she saw Jiang Ning bathed in the morning sun, sweat dripping from his body.

Upon noticing Zhong Ling's arrival, Jiang Ning immediately stopped practicing his martial arts.

Then he reached out and grabbed the clothes hanging to the side, draped them over his shoulders, and dressed simply.

"Didn't Brother Jiang Ning go to sleep last night?" Zhong Ling asked, surprised.

She remembered waking up late last night and seeing Jiang Ning meditating on the deck with his eyes closed.

Now, when I wake up again, I see Jiang Ning practicing his skills on my shoulder, his sweat soaking the ground.

"You've taken my room, how am I supposed to sleep?" Jiang Ning said, speechless.

Then, while opening her mouth, she put on her clothes.

Previously, there were no women here, so it didn't affect his practice of martial arts even if he exposed his upper body.

Now that Zhong Ling has awakened, it is naturally inappropriate to do so.

"Did I take your room last night?" Zhong Ling opened her mouth, then stammered a little unsure of herself.

Looking back now, she realizes that the layout of the corridor when she came out seemed to be somewhat off.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded, then said, "Please tell your Grandpa Xuan that I'm going to practice my skills in the lake!"

The words fell.

Jiang Ning leaped into the water, and with a splash, he was swallowed by the waves.

Zhong Ling paused for a moment, then pursed her lips.

Yanghu Lake.

Upon entering the lake, Jiang Ning immediately sensed the undercurrents.

Beneath the lake's surface, the current is even more rapid.

He made slight adjustments in the water and regained his balance.

Immediately, he saw a series of iron chains that seemed to connect heaven and earth.

One end extends to the surface of the lake, and the other end extends into the bottomless, dark lake bottom.

"How deep Yanghu Lake is!" Jiang Ning was surprised to see that it was pitch black below.

He then continued to sink.

Bathed in the lake water, the energy depleted from practicing the Vajra Indestructible Body was quickly replenished.

As he descended, he felt the lake water getting colder and colder.

In deep water areas where sunlight never shines, the water temperature is extremely low.

Soon, Jiang Ning descended all the way to the bottom of the lake.

“It’s over a hundred feet deep!” He looked up at the ceiling and could only see a faint light above.

The ground beneath my feet was covered in sand and gravel, with few living things or plants around.

Jiang Ning then composed himself and looked at his control panel.

[Skill]: Vajra Indestructible Body (Three Limit Breaks 678/40000) (Characteristics: Dragon Elephant Power (Light Purple), Flawless Body (Dark Blue), Sixteen-Foot Golden Body (Light Purple))
Compared to the experience points required to break through the limits, the current progress is just the beginning.

But after much thought, he concluded that this was the most suitable technique for him in his current situation.

The body will need to become stronger to withstand the subsequent blood transfusions.

Therefore, he will eventually have to continue working on achieving the Vajra Indestructible Body realm.

As for other skills, he doesn't have many options right now.

Neither the Wind and Thunder Steps nor the Water and Fire True Energy are suitable for him now.

The enhancement of artistic conception will only bring him a slight increase in combat power.

It does not fundamentally help in elevating one's spiritual realm or transforming one's life.

As for skills such as wood-chopping knife techniques and Five Animal Fist, they will be postponed for the time being.

The breakthroughs to come will require far too many energy points, which he is currently unable to sustain.

Moreover, if the quality of the craftsmanship is too low, it will affect the quality of the characteristics.

After much thought, only the Wind and Thunder Arrow Technique is barely worth considering.

With the Wind and Thunder Arrow Technique having broken through its limits three times, further breakthroughs would be relatively easy for him, requiring few source energy points.

However, practicing the Wind and Thunder Archery Technique requires a large number of arrows.

It's not easy to deal with right now, so we might as well put it on hold for the time being.

In the end, he could only choose to farm experience points for the Indestructible Body.

This technique not only greatly enhances his strength, but also strengthens his physique and enhances his inherent abilities.

Because of its extremely high rank, each time it generates new characteristics, they are extremely powerful.

The sixteen-foot golden body that emerged from his third breakthrough has become one of his trump cards.

The "Sixteen-Foot Golden Body" attribute is also one of the highest-grade attributes on his current stats panel.

With a quick thought, he adjusted his state of mind.

With feet firmly planted on the sand and stones, assume the appropriate posture and mobilize the body's Qi and blood to cleanse the skin and flesh.

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

【.】

Soon, he entered a state of both pain and pleasure.

The rush of blood and qi made him feel incredibly refreshed.

It felt as if thousands of needles were piercing through the skin, or as if countless ants were crawling and biting.

Sweat immediately welled up inside him and then melted into the cool lake water.

Despite the physical pain, seeing his experience points steadily increasing on the panel filled him with motivation.

He knew that with each gradual increase, one day it would unleash a torrent of power, helping him achieve a breakthrough.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye.

It was noon.

wow-

The water surged up, and Jiang Ning leaped into the air.

"Inspector Jiang, it's been a long time!" Ye Zhengqi greeted Jiang Ning from the deck.

"Prefect Ye, it's been a long time!" Jiang Ning was slightly surprised to see Ye Zhengqi appear before him.

He hadn't expected to see Ye Zhengqi here, and then he understood everything.

Although Yanghu was not within the territory of Guangning Prefecture, he then revealed a kind smile.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zhengqi also revealed a faint smile.

Then he turned to Zhong Yue beside him and said, "I told you! Inspector Jiang would definitely come up at this time!"

"Alright! You win!" Zhong Yue admitted defeat.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengqi couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Is it time for Inspector Jiang to begin absorbing the essence of the Great Sun?"

"Prefect Ye understands me best!" Jiang Ning said with a smile.

"Noon is the best time to practice internal alchemy and health cultivation. How could I not know that!" Ye Zhengqi smiled faintly.

Then he added, "If your internal organs become strong enough in the future, you can go to the summit of a high mountain that pierces through the clouds and breathe in the essence of the sun. The closer you are to the sun, the purer the essence of the sun you will breathe in, and the stronger the tempering effect on your internal organs will be!"

"The summit of a high mountain?" Jiang Ning's expression changed.

"Hmm!" Ye Zhengqi nodded, then added, "However, this requires tempering your internal organs to a very high level before considering this step! Otherwise, be careful that your internal organs are burned to ashes!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Prefect Ye!" Jiang Ning said sincerely.

Ye Zhengqi's words instantly sparked a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He may have found a more efficient way to gain experience points for the Liver Internal Elixir Health Preservation Exercise.

Then, he calmed his mind, sat down on the deck, and began to breathe in the essence of the great sun overhead.

Even as the void rippled and spread, emanating waves of pressure, it could not affect the wisps of crimson light that were hanging down.

the other side.

"I thought he had run away!" The Azure Dragon Envoy laughed when he saw Jiang Ning appear.

“This person is highly skilled and should not be underestimated!” said a man in a flowing cloud robe. He watched Jiang Ning’s breathing exercises to absorb the essence of the sun, his eyes showing a solemn expression.

"White Tiger Envoy, have you seen something?" the woman in red robes asked.

"This child's inner alchemy cultivation technique is already perfected, reaching the profound realm of 'once a golden pill is swallowed, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens'! If he were in ancient times, he would surely be an extraordinary figure who becomes an immortal or ancestor!" said the White Tiger Envoy, who was wearing a flowing cloud robe.

As someone who also possesses immortal roots, he sees far more than others.

"With a golden pill swallowed, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!" the woman in red murmured, then looked at the White Tiger Envoy: "You don't seem to have reached this level yet?" "No!" the White Tiger Envoy, dressed in a flowing cloud robe, shook his head: "I'm still missing the last step! This step is like an insurmountable chasm, requiring both good fortune and fortuitous opportunities, none of which can be lacking!"

Then, the White Tiger Envoy added, "If this child doesn't die, he will create another martial arts legend in the future, perhaps becoming the next Martial Saint!"

Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon Envoy shook his head and sneered.

"Brother Baihu, you are overestimating him!"

"Not to mention that in the more than eight hundred years of the Great Xia Dynasty, only one Martial Saint has emerged!"

"How many martial arts legends have emerged in the past eight hundred years alone?"

"It's barely more than two hands' width!"

"I admit this child has exceptional talent, but if becoming a martial arts legend were that easy, how could he possibly be considered a martial arts legend!"

"Moreover, the world has tolerated that Martial Saint for over eight hundred years. Who would want to see such a figure looming over us again, like the might of the heavens?"

"I don't know if it's the major sects, the major hidden forces, or even the Great Xia royal family, but I don't think they would want to see another person like this in the world!"

Upon hearing these words from the Azure Dragon Envoy...

Even the White Tiger Envoy, dressed in a flowing cloud robe, had to nod in agreement.

"That's true!"

"No one in the world wants another eight hundred years like this!"

"Everyone's had enough of having someone like this weighing them down!!"

"The world will not stand idly by and let such a person emerge again!"

……

the other side.

Jiang Ning's heart tightened.

He did not ignore the fact that the direction of the Yingtian Alliance was always looking in his direction.

With his powerful senses, he could vaguely hear every conversation between members of the Yingtian Alliance.

The distance of less than a hundred feet was not enough to completely shatter the sound of conversation, even with the strongest winds and waves.

Therefore, he always silently deployed his spiritual field to cover the surroundings.

Entering the hidden cave is inevitably accompanied by danger.

The more you know and understand beforehand, the safer you will be.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to dealing with them calmly.

As his thoughts raced, he continued to inhale and exhale the essence of the great sun.

For him now, breathing in the essence of the sun is a routine matter and does not require much mental effort.

He couldn't help but think about the conversation those people had just had.

He didn't take their plans too seriously.

Of the four spirit envoys of the Yingtian Alliance, the strongest is the Azure Dragon Envoy, whose strength is close to that of a top-tier grandmaster.

Or perhaps a top-tier master.

He was not afraid of such strength.

What really bothered him was the conversation between those people.

Is there anyone in the world who would want to see such a person appear again?
He muttered to himself, lost in deep thought.

a long time.

After he exhaled a breath of stale air and inhaled a wisp of the sun's essence, he felt that what those people said made a lot of sense.

No one wants to see such a person appear again!

The appearance of that martial saint established the world for more than eight hundred years and brought peace to the people for more than eight hundred years.

However, it also crushed many forces, suppressing all sects in the world for more than 800 years, forcing them to lie dormant for over 800 years.

In this situation, how could they possibly want to see another person with their head looming overhead, as if the might of the heavens were pressing down on them?

And as they said, perhaps even the royal family wouldn't want to see this.

As the saying goes, "His merits overshadowed his master."

Having lived two lives, how many people in history, whose merits overshadowed those of their rulers, were killed by emperors out of fear!

The reason that the Martial Saint was unharmed was not because the people here were different.

In Jiang Ning's view, it was because the great power returned to itself.

He was invincible for over eight hundred years, and no sect in the world dared to oppose him, so how could the royal family dare?

While pondering, the experience points of the Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise were also steadily increasing.

After noon.

call--

Jiang Ning exhaled a long breath, and a wave of heat surged forward, instantly dispersing the half-zhang-high waves that were sweeping up the lake in front of him.

Water vapor evaporates and dissipates as mist.

"Inspector Jiang, come and have a drink, we've been waiting for you!" Zhong Yue's voice rang in Jiang Ning's ears as he opened his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately stood up.

"You two don't need to be so polite!" Upon entering the room, Jiang Ning saw Ye Zhengqi and Zhong Yue sitting at the table, but there was no hot dish, only two plates of dried fruit as appetizers. He couldn't help but speak up.

“Drinking with two people is never as enjoyable as drinking with three!” Ye Zhengqi said.

Zhong Yue nodded in agreement and said, "Inspector Jiang, please take a seat! Now that you're here, the dishes can be served!"

"Then I'll accept it without hesitation!" Jiang Ning smiled and took his seat.

The next day.

A person came riding the waves and landed on the deck.

The newcomer was dressed in the official robes of a prefectural inspector, with a black background and red gold patterns interspersed with dark red blood-red threads, and a pattern of a strange beast printed on the robe.

The beast resembles a tiger and is the Bi'an from mythology.

Upon seeing this person's arrival, Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi immediately went to greet him.

"Brother Yuancheng!" the two men said.

Jiang Ning also bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Upon seeing the official robes this person was wearing, he knew that this person's identity was like Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi, that of a prefectural inspector.

His official rank was higher than his, and by more than one level.

Upon seeing Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi, the newcomers immediately cupped their hands in greeting: "Gentlemen, am I not late?"

Then he nodded slightly to Jiang Ning.

"Perfect timing! I reckon they'll speak soon!" Zhong Yue said, pointing to the strange phenomenon overhead.

The ripples in the space were more pronounced than yesterday, and the waves on the lake were even larger.

Then, Zhong Yue took another step back to the side.

"Brother Yuancheng, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Ning, the Inspector of Dongling County!"

"So this is the recently rising Jiang Xunshi!" The man nodded to Jiang Ning in approval.

Zhong Yue then raised his hand to Yuan Cheng, whom he had mentioned, and introduced him to Jiang Ning.

"Inspector Jiang, this is Inspector Sun Yuancheng of Baichuan Prefecture!"

"Greetings, Prefect Sun!" Jiang Ning bowed again.

Sun Yuancheng nodded again.

Just then, Ye Zhengqi frowned and spoke up.

“Sun Yuancheng, you’re being a bit arrogant.”

"Brother Ye, what makes you say that?" Sun Yuancheng asked.

"Envoy Jiang single-handedly eliminated the hidden dangers of the three major sects in Dongling County. The Five Swords Sect was destroyed, the Mitian Sect was annihilated, and the Divine Sword Manor bowed its head in submission! Envoy Jiang's strength may now be no less than yours or mine!"

Hear the words.

Sun Yuancheng then carefully examined Jiang Ning.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It was I who failed to recognize your greatness!"

Sun Yuancheng bowed to Jiang Ning.

"You're too kind, Mr. Sun!" Jiang Ning said.

at this time.

Rumbling--

A booming sound came from overhead.
