Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 588 Breaking the Formation, the Progress of Divine Bone Growth!

On Yanghu Lake.

A slender figure slowly emerged from the ripples of the void, like waves on water.

"Is it Ge Xian'er, that little girl?" The old woman from Qingyang Sect asked calmly.

With a flash, she appeared at the entrance of the cave, then grabbed Ge Xian'er and instantly returned to the ship.

"Grand Uncle!" Ge Xian'er immediately lowered her head, her face showing shame.

"What's wrong with you?" The old woman looked at Ge Xian'er, her eyes narrowing slightly, her gaze sharp as lightning.

At this moment, Ge Xian'er's robes were loose, her belt had disappeared, and her chest was covered. Her clothes were torn, and most of her thin shoulders were exposed.

"Grand Uncle, it's nothing, it's just that the treasures from the cave were stolen!" Ge Xian'er said, bowing her head.

"I haven't tarnished your reputation, have I?" the old woman asked.

"No!" Ge Xian'er shook her head.

at this time.

Another figure appeared in the sky.

The old woman glanced at him and saw Xu Ming unconscious.

"Put this on, and tell me later who you lost to!" She waved her hand at Ge Xian'er, and a cloak was automatically draped over her shoulders.

"Thank you, Grand Uncle!" Ge Xian'er said, quickly fastening her cloak to cover the spring scenery that was about to be revealed.

Her thin body was soon completely covered by the cloak.

The old woman also landed on the deck with Xu Ming.

He then slapped Xu Ming, who immediately coughed up blood and opened his eyes.

"Grand Uncle!" he said upon seeing the old woman, his face showing shame.

"Swallow!" She waved her hand, and a crimson blood pill floated in front of Xu Ming.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Xu Ming said with a respectful expression.

He then took the crimson pill floating in front of him and swallowed it in one gulp.

After a short period of adjustment, his breathing became much more stable, and his complexion returned to normal.

"How is Xie Yang?" the old woman asked.

"Second Senior Brother has already set up the Four Spirits Formation and is still fighting the enemy!" Xu Ming said.

"Who is the opponent?" the old woman asked.

"Reporting to my great-uncle, it is Jiang Ning, the Inspector of Dongling County of the Great Xia!" Xu Ming said respectfully.

"It was him?" The old woman looked surprised.

"Your great-uncle also knows this person?" Ge Xian'er asked.

"Hmm!" The old woman nodded: "Although we live in seclusion, we cannot ignore the changes happening all over the world. This person is like the rising sun, how can we not pay attention? Moreover, Wang Xuan was also defeated by this person."

Upon hearing these words, Ge Xian'er immediately looked at Wang Xuan.

"Senior Sister Wang Xuan!"

Wang Xuan nodded to Ge Xian'er.

Shangyang Cave Heaven.

Upwind of the crater.

Jiang Ning's eyes are ablaze with fire.

He saw the phantom of the forty-one, saw the great arrays of energy converging in the void, saw the nodes where the energy of the arrays intersected, and saw Xie Yang standing in one of the nodes, with countless energies condensing into Xie Yang's body.

at the same time.

Thirty-six flying swords transformed into a tidal wave and attacked him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The protective golden light vanished, and sharp sword energies drilled into his body.

With a surge of energy, the sword energy within his body instantly melted away like accumulated snow.

next moment.

Jiang Ning reached behind him and grabbed his back.

hum! !

The longsword was drawn, its blade vibrated, and an invisible aura surged forth, unleashing a sword intent that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth.

A sudden gust of wind arose from all around, and the invisible array patterns in the void became somewhat disordered for a moment.

"So that's how it is!" Jiang Ning immediately understood after seeing this scene through his Fiery Eyes.

the other side.

"Such powerful sword intent!" Xie Yang felt the astonishing sword intent erupting from Jiang Ning's body, and his gaze became even more solemn.

With just his surging sword intent, he instantly forced the thirty-six sub-swords he controlled back several feet.

It formed an invisible barrier, causing the thirty-six swords to vibrate continuously in mid-air, yet they could not advance even an inch.

He had previously thought that Jiang Ning was so strong with his sword that he could break through Ge Xian'er and Xu Ming's killing moves with a single strike.

Only now do I understand that Jiang Ning's strength lies not in swordsmanship, but in the way of the knife.

"Fortunately, he had a sword in his hand, not a knife!" Xie Yang felt a sense of relief.

He knew that Jiang Ning, wielding a knife, could unleash his full combat power and would become even more terrifying.

Although swords and sabers are similar, they are still different.

It's difficult to fully reveal one's true strength.

"Kill!!" Xie Yang shouted.

Her long hair danced wildly, her spiritual energy surged, and the surrounding void trembled slightly.

If one could see the flow of energy, one could see the spiritual energy from all directions surging into Xie Yang's body along the invisible array patterns.

hum! !

The sword hummed softly, and the air rippled as if it were a tangible entity.

With Xie Yang's full effort, the thirty-six swords instantly unleashed even greater power, breaking through the invisible barrier and stabbing towards Jiang Ning.

Right now.

Jiang Ning drew his sword and slashed.

The sword light flowed like a river, or like an inverted waterfall.

In an instant, Jiang Ning cleaved away thirty-six longswords.

"Kill!!" Xie Yang's expression remained unchanged.

He made a sword incantation with his hands, and thirty-six smaller swords split off from the giant sword in front of him.

Mother-and-Child Thunderfire Sword.

It is a top-tier treasure, containing 360 sub-swords.

If one can fully utilize its power, this sword alone will allow one to stand among the ranks of true powerhouses.

At this moment, Xie Yang knew that his limit was the ability to manipulate one hundred and eight swords.

Seventy swords were still within his capabilities.

the other side.

Seeing the thirty-six swords surging towards him like a tide once again, Jiang Ning didn't give them another glance.

He knew that Xie Yang was now empowered by the Four Spirits Formation and would not be so easy to deal with.

But without the blessing of the Four Spirits Formation, things are different.

He had already figured out the method to break the Four Spirits Formation by observing the flow of energy with his Fiery Eyes.

He flashed and instantly arrived at a node where the energy of a large array converged.

Xie Yang found himself at this juncture.

Jiang Ning drew his sword and slashed.

The sword light was like a streak of lightning, instantly disrupting the convergence of energy nodes.

He then struck again with his sword, slashing away the flying sword that was attacking him.

With another flash, he arrived at another energy convergence node of the Four Spirits Formation.

With another slash of the sword, the energy was disrupted once again.

In an instant, Jiang Ning disrupted two points where the energy of the formations converged.

Xie Yang immediately felt the array power supporting his body weaken by 10%.

"Has he figured out how to break the formation?" Xie Yang was taken aback, somewhat incredulous.

Setting up a formation is difficult, but breaking it is even more difficult!

He knew Jiang Ning's true identity; he was a truly ignorant and short-sighted person.

Logically speaking, they should have never even seen a formation before, let alone know how to break it.

Moreover, it was a decisive and direct way to break the formation.

"Could it be just a lucky guess?" Xie Yang wondered, questioning his own earlier thought.

next moment.

He saw Jiang Ning's figure flash again, and then without hesitation, he slashed his sword into the void.

In an instant.

He sensed that the Four Spirits Formation was weakening again.

"He really knows how to break formations!!" Xie Yang's expression suddenly changed drastically, and the thought of retreating faintly arose in his heart.

the other side.

Jiang Ning didn't care what Xie Yang thought.

They continued heading towards the next array node.

With a single sword strike, another node in the formation was disrupted, and the Four Spirits Formation instantly showed signs of collapsing.

The invisible array patterns that converged in the void also became less stable.

"Sure enough, this is the method to break the formation!!" Jiang Ning saw the unstable formation patterns in the void through his Fiery Eyes, and the great formation that seemed about to collapse. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He knew that the Four Spirits Formation was about to be broken. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the next point where the formation's energy converged.

Right now.

He saw Xie Yang suddenly retreat, and the invisible energy of the great formation surged towards him like a river bursting its banks, like the roaring tide of the Nujiang River.

The formation changed instantly, turning into a trap.

Jiang Ning immediately stopped and watched Xie Yang's retreating figure.

Xie Yang had already retreated from the range of the Four Spirits Formation and was now more than a hundred feet away from him.

After retreating several hundred feet, four longswords that had fallen in all directions rose from the ground and flew towards Xie Yang's location.

With the four great arrays that served as the base of the array being pulled out, the Four Spirits Array collapsed on its own.

"Inspector Jiang, I'll come again tomorrow to learn from your superior skills!" Xie Yang's voice echoed from afar.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning reinserted the longsword in his hand into the wooden scabbard on his back.

He couldn't be bothered to chase after him anymore.

He hasn't truly finished collecting the Heavenly Yang Stones yet.

The substance contained within that previous one only allowed him to complete the tempering of twenty-six divine bones.

Even excluding the strange bone, he has a total of 206 bones in his body.

From this, he knew that the number of Tiangang Yang Stones he had collected was not enough.

There probably aren't enough Earthly Fiend Yin Stones.

He then took out an unknown spiritual plant and a piece of white jade that he had just taken from Wang Yuan, Ge Xian'er and the others.

The white jade was warm and smooth, radiating a faint warmth; it was the spoils he had snatched from Ge Xian'er's chest.

Thinking of Ge Xian'er, Jiang Ning immediately wiped the white jade on his body before putting it into his mouth.

Click!

With a bite, the white jade shattered instantly.

Immediately, a feeling of coolness welled up in my heart.

"Not a product of this place?!" Jiang Ning was taken aback, then shook his head.

Too lazy to bother with the matter, he quickly bit the white jade in his mouth into pieces.

Then extract the energy from it.

He then felt a continuous stream of cool air rising up.

It surged into his spiritual platform, merged into the Yin spirit, and nourished his soul.

He immediately understood the effect of the white jade.

After a while.

He absorbed the energy contained in the white jade.

He then took out two more spiritual plants and put them into his mouth.

【.】

Their judgment was truly excellent; they were completely free of any scum!
Jiang Ning had a thought, and then picked up another thing that looked like a bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth.

Less than half an hour later.

He put all the edible spoils into his mouth.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique (Second Limit Break 8347/30000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Light Purple) Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple))
He glanced at the panel, checked the current progress, and then closed it.

I have accumulated over 8,000 experience points.

To outsiders, this was something he had to work hard for over two months.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

It's only been a short time, yet we've already achieved such results.

Subsequently.

He sheathed his newly acquired spoils with two wooden swords.

He then tucked the magical fan he had taken from Ge Xian'er into his belt on his back.

After sitting for a while, he followed the rock wall back down to the bottom of the crater.

He then placed the Heavenly Yang Stone and Earthly Yin Stone that he had not used up back in front of him.

He drew the substances within into his body and continued to circulate his qi and blood to temper his jade bones, continuing the forging process.

After a long time.

He absorbed all the substances contained in the two Heavenly Yang Stones and Earthly Yin Stones, leaving no residue, before slowly opening his eyes.

Forty-three divine bones!

"At this rate, I would need four more Heavenly Yang Stones and four more Earthly Yin Stones."

"The Heavenly Yang Stone is not difficult to obtain!"

His gaze fell upon the rolling golden lava ahead.

The moment he saw the surging golden light, he instantly stood up and made his move.

With a scoop of his right hand, he pulled a brand-new Tiangang Yang Stone from the rolling lava.

"Yang stones are easy to obtain; I can gather the remaining pieces by squatting for a while longer!"

"This is troublesome indeed!"

"Although there are many Yin Stones in the Yin River at the bottom of the sea, they are imbued with the will of the cave, so I cannot take any more."

"Perhaps taking down the inner disciples of the Shangyang Immortal Sect will make all the difference!"

He seemed to be deep in thought.

He now possesses two Yang Stones, but is still missing two Heavenly Gang Yang Stones.

So they continued to wait there, hoping to be brought out by the surging lava.

When the sun in the sky reduced to only nine rays again.

This also means it is already afternoon.

A quarter of the day had passed, which was also half of the daytime.

Jiang Ning climbed out from under the crater and looked up at the sky.

Seeing the sun soaring in the sky, I closed my eyes again and quietly sensed the surroundings.

Soon, guided by the will of the cave, he was able to sense that there were not many participants left, only about ten or twenty.

After a while.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

"After three days and nights, the sole victor will be the true disciple."

"After more than three days and nights, the last ten people remaining are all inner disciples of the Shangyang Immortal Sect!"

He recalled the rules that had been passed down from the will of the cave, and muttered to himself.

Perhaps I should try to become the sole winner.

As his thoughts wandered, he reached into his robes and grasped the two cold, icy stones.

Previously, when he found the Yin River at the bottom of the sea, the will of the cave gave him a warning when he tried to take out the fourth Yin Stone.

Faced with the will of this hidden world, he dared not disobey its advice.

Not to mention, he is currently in the Cave Heaven World, within the territory of the Cave Heaven's will.

"The only possible path is to become an inner alchemy disciple or a true disciple!!"

Another thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

Then, he stood at the mountain pass, his eyes blazing with fire, and slowly swept across the four directions.

With his extraordinary fiery eyes, he saw the location where countless energies converged.

He silently memorized the locations he saw.

Although he couldn't see the entire island, it was enough for him.

He could clearly see that the energy concentrated in the rare and precious plants here was far greater than that of the island where the first round of trials took place.

Just as he was surveying the surroundings and memorizing the energy convergence points in various places, he began to examine them.

He sensed that two more people had been eliminated, and that vague feeling vanished without a trace.

the other side.

Long Xiaofeng looked at the two figures slowly disappearing in front of him and couldn't help but smile faintly.

"With this level of strength, you still dare to cause me trouble! It's only because my uncle has given orders not to commit murder that you've escaped with your lives!"

Standing to the side, Long Xingyun looked at Long Xiaofeng's posture with a hint of admiration in his expression.

The two who just made their move possessed strength no less than his; they were true veteran masters.

But Long Xiaofeng sent him flying with just two punches.

"Is this the combat power of a top-tier grandmaster?" Long Xingyun wondered.

the other side.

Zhong Yue spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Ye, this opponent is getting stronger and stronger!"

Ye Zhengqi nodded and sheathed his longsword.

"Shangyang Immortal Sect is said to be a top-tier lineage. We must do our best to secure an inner disciple spot. This could be a great opportunity for both of us."

"Okay!" Zhong Yue nodded.

Then Jiang Ning's image flashed through my mind: "It's a pity that Jiang Ning didn't manage to reunite with us. For a young man like him, it would have been a real stroke of luck if he had succeeded."

Ye Zhengqi nodded.
