Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 589 The Divine Tree in the Night, a Treasure from a Grotto!
Shangyang Cave Heaven.

As the last rays of the sun shone brightly in the sky, the scorching temperature between heaven and earth gradually decreased.

"No rush!" Jiang Ning sensed his surroundings and shook his head.

Guided by the will of the cave, the trial participants can vaguely sense the location of each other.

After sensing the remaining personnel and their approximate location, he was no longer in a hurry.

Three days and nights passed.

And today is barely halfway over.

There were only about a dozen people left, a few fewer than a few hours ago.

Clearly, those who participated in this trial shared his thoughts.

They then actively sought out other individuals, eliminating one another in the process, with the aim of determining the final winner within three days and nights, who would then become a true disciple of the Shangyang Immortal Sect.

After realizing everyone's intentions, Jiang Ning was no longer in a hurry.

The unique environment within Shangyang Cave was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, which could greatly help him achieve a breakthrough in his internal alchemy cultivation.

How could he possibly miss such an opportunity?

Subsequently.

With his extraordinary ability to see through fire, he quickly found several more unknown spiritual plants with abundant energy.

The spiritual plant resembles a flower, with a total of seven growing randomly on the sunny ground.

It looks no different from ordinary flowers and is easy to overlook.

If it weren't for the extraordinary ability of his Fiery Eyes, Jiang Ning would have ignored it even if he had passed by.

But now, thanks to his extraordinary fiery eyes, he can see that these seven flowers of different colors contain extremely rich energy.

He has had this kind of harvest countless times today.

With his extraordinary eyesight, opportunities abound in this place.

Soon, he put seven flowers of different colors into his mouth.

The nectar flowed in his mouth like magma rolling.

"It really is a good thing!" Jiang Ning not only did not feel uncomfortable, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he had an expression of enjoyment.

Then he moved his qi and blood to refine this extremely pure energy.

【.】

As time passed, he refined the medicinal properties, and his experience points from the Inner Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique continued to increase.

As the last rays of the sun slowly sank below the horizon, the heat in the air dissipated rapidly, and the temperature dropped drastically.

“It’s nighttime!” Jiang Ning glanced at the sky; it was dark gray with no stars or moon in the sky.

He knew that as the remaining light in the world dissipated, a pitch-black night would follow.

At night, the chilling cold, like a maggot clinging to his bones, could make him feel as if he were in a freezing hell.

"I wonder if my pure Yang body can withstand it?" The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

Subsequently.

He glanced around and sped toward the place where the energy was converging.

Time is precious, and he needs to find more rare and precious spiritual plants in the remaining day and night.

Even though he could feel that the accumulation of the medicine in his body was already quite exaggerated, it would be difficult for his body to completely digest and absorb it in a short period of time.

But he didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The rare and precious spiritual plants not only accelerate his progress in internal alchemy cultivation, but also bring about changes in his physical body.

From qi and blood to muscles, bones, flesh, limbs, and internal organs, everything has been improved somewhat due to the gains of the past two days.

Now, every inch of his flesh and blood still retains the medicinal power that he cannot consume in a short time.

Even so, he still continued his previous behavior.

The medicinal effects accumulate in his body, and he can slowly digest them after they are expelled.

Moreover, the transformation he has undergone through five blood transfusions is now complete, and once he leaves, he can undergo a sixth blood transfusion.

At that time, the body needs a large supply of energy.

The accumulated medicinal power will then become the resources for his six blood transfusions and rebirths at that time.

Less than half an hour later.

The sky became completely dark.

woo-

The branches swayed in the forest, and a mournful sound came from afar.

Jiang Ning suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Then he felt a cold wind blow by.

It blew through the gaps in his robes, onto his body.

This chilling wind was all-pervasive, blowing into his flesh and blood through the pores of his skin.

He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

next moment.

The cold wind entered the body, instantly triggering the body's self-defense mechanisms.

A surge of pure Yang energy suddenly erupted within his body.

In an instant, the yin wind that had just seeped into his body was dispelled.

His body was no longer cold; every inch of his flesh and blood was radiating extremely high temperature.

"Such a strong gust of yin wind!" Jiang Ning murmured.

Just a moment ago, a cold wind blew by and instantly broke through the defenses on the surface of his body.

If it weren't for the burst of pure Yang energy within his body, the gust of Yin wind that swept over his entire body, passing through his flesh and muscles, would have caused a severe loss of vital energy.

"How did those people manage to get through last night?" The thought flashed through his mind.

Think of this.

He gazed into the distance.

Based on some kind of intuition.

He could sense the approximate locations of all the trial participants, and then he selected a direction and moved forward quickly.

Yanghe River.

"Brother Ye, do you think there might be something good at the end of this river?" Zhong Yue asked, looking at the upper reaches of the Yang River, which was about ten feet wide.

"Don't speak!!" Ye Zhengqi suddenly tensed up, his eyes filled with a solemn light as he stared into the darkness ahead.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yue asked, becoming somewhat nervous upon seeing Ye Zhengqi's alarmed expression.

"Sense it carefully!" Ye Zhengqi's eyes remained focused on the pure darkness in front of him, his pupils not moving at all.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue immediately closed his eyes.

next moment.

His eyes shot open.

“How could this happen?!!”

"You sensed it too, didn't you?" Ye Zhengqi asked.

"How is that possible? Someone can walk in the dark!" Zhong Yue exclaimed incredulously.

Last night, he personally experienced the terror of nightfall in Shangyang Cave.

That chilling cold, like a maggot clinging to a bone, could extinguish the flame of his life.

If he were to remain in darkness for an extended period, he would at most last for a few hours before his life force dwindled, and he would perish.

Especially the eerie winds of the night.

The blow alone was enough to severely damage his vitality and nearly kill him.

If it weren't for the nourishing effects of rare and precious herbs, he would have had no choice but to lose to Ye Zhengqi and withdraw from the trial.

Now, however, he sensed a trial participant rapidly approaching them from the darkness.

The undisguised speed clearly showed that the person in the darkness was unafraid of the darkness.

"Could it be that the sensor is malfunctioning?!" Zhong Yue asked again.

"No!" Ye Zhengqi shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the direction of the sensed energy, and continued, "Our senses originate from the will of the cave world; there's no way they could be wrong!" Then he added, "Prepare for battle!!"

"Good!" Zhong Yue clenched his fist and said with righteous indignation, "I want to see what kind of person can be so fearless of the darkness of this place."

the other side.

Jiang Ning's eyes are ablaze with fire.

Using his extraordinary fiery eyes, he could see as if it were daytime even in the darkest night, and walk freely.

"It's Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi!!" He stopped a hundred feet away from the two, looking at their figures with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He had originally planned to take care of the trial participants he encountered if he had the chance.

But the moment he saw Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi, he immediately changed his mind.

He couldn't bring himself to use such a vicious attack on the two of them.

Then, his eyes fell on the river, which was about ten feet wide, behind the two of them.

What was an ordinary river during the day now shines with golden light at night, like a river flowing with golden liquid.

Seeing this scene, and seeing that Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi were in perfect condition, he understood that the river possessed incredible power, enough to protect them from the influence of the night.

"So that's how it is!" he thought to himself, his confusion instantly resolved.

at the same time.

"Brother Ye, that person doesn't seem to have moved!" Zhong Yue's lips moved slightly as he used a secret telepathic communication technique to reach Ye Zhengqi's ears.

Ye Zhengqi tensed up and nodded slightly: "I can feel strange gazes scrutinizing us."

"Is it the one in the darkness?" Zhong Yue asked.

“That’s him!” Ye Zhengqi nodded, his hair standing on end.

He could clearly feel that gaze lingering between him and Zhong Yue.

Faced with this mysterious and unknown existence, he felt like prey being scrutinized, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

at this time.

He felt the gazes recede like a tide, and felt the figure rapidly disappearing.

After a few breaths.

"Ha!" Ye Zhengqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"That person...has left?" Zhong Yue hesitated to make a judgment.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengqi closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again.

"gone!"

"Brother Ye, who do you think that person could be?" Zhong Yue asked thoughtfully. "Could it be someone you or I know, who retreated without making any attack?"

Upon hearing Zhong Yue's words, Ye Zhengqi also showed a thoughtful expression.

a long time.

He nodded slowly: "That is indeed possible."

"Who could it be?" Zhong Yue asked.

Countless figures flashed through Ye Zhengqi's mind, and he then sorted them out one by one.

He finally shook his head and said, "Based on the information we have now, we cannot make a judgment."

"Could they be from Qingyang Cave Heaven?" Zhong Yue asked from the side.

Ye Zhengqi said, "Logically, they are the most likely candidates. Immortal cultivators are inherently mysterious and unpredictable. Moreover, the environment within the cave world is close to that of ancient times. They are no longer restricted by the external environment and can unleash their full potential."

At this point, Ye Zhengqi shook his head again: "But they have no connection with us, so why would they choose to leave directly?"

the other side.

Jiang Ning was unaware that his arrival would cause Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi so much trouble.

Upon seeing that the two were Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi, and understanding why the trial participants were able to survive the night, he continued his search for the spiritual plants and rare treasures he needed.

late at night.

A towering tree, over two zhang tall with lush branches, stood like a torch in the night, radiating light and heat and dispelling the darkness within a radius of several zhang.

Flames continuously gathered on the leaves, which resembled glass, before falling to the ground.

Before the flames could even touch the ground, they vanished into the void as scattered stars.

"Sister Zhuque, why do you think this tree can bloom so miraculously in the darkness of night?" The tall Azure Dragon Envoy stood beside the thick tree, examining the tree in front of him that was radiating flames.

"After today, we'll know once we cut down this big tree!" Zhuque, dressed in red, said calmly.

"This divine tree sheltered us for two nights, should we treat it like this too?" the White Tiger Envoy, dressed in a flowing cloud robe, asked.

"What, you still feel nostalgic for a big tree?" The woman in red smiled faintly.

"Not at all sentimental!" The White Tiger Envoy, dressed in a flowing cloud robe, smiled calmly.

the other side.

Jiang Ning stopped in his tracks, his eyes blazing with fury.

It's them!!

He immediately spotted the strange tree that seemed to soar into the sky like a torch in the darkness, and also saw three of the four spirit envoys of the Yingtian Alliance.

He also heard the three talking.

His gaze then fell on the large tree between the three of them.

With his extraordinary ability to see through fire, he could see the energy within the tree concentrating three feet above the tree stump.

That spot looked as if a heart was suspended in mid-air.

The heart is like the sun, constantly radiating energy.

Energy is like the meridians in the human body, filling the trunk and branches of a tree, and even every leaf.

"What an amazing tree!" He observed it carefully for a moment.

Jiang Ning let out a gasp of surprise.

Since entering the Shangyang Cave Heaven world, the energy intensity gathered in this tree was the strongest he had ever seen.

No rare or precious plant can compare to it.

Even the energy contained within the Yang Stone and Yin Stone cannot compare to the energy contained within this great tree.

His gaze immediately locked onto the location of the heartwood of the large tree.

Then, he opened his third eye, and a white vertical line appeared between his eyebrows.

All of a sudden.

He then saw that inside the tree trunk was a heart-shaped part about the size of a goose egg.

The heartwood should be the essence of this great tree.

If I were to absorb it, I wonder what level of improvement it would bring.

Just then, carried by the gentle breeze, he overheard the conversation of the three.

"It's a pity we couldn't find that Inspector Jiang, otherwise we could have killed him here and that would have been the end of it!"

"He's lucky! Once he gets out, he won't be so easy to deal with!"

"It doesn't matter! He chose the path of nine blood transfusions, which is doomed to fail. No matter how strong he becomes, he will only ever be an invincible grandmaster! Even an invincible grandmaster has no right to be arrogant in front of the alliance leader!"

"That's true! And once the news of that Martial Saint's passing is confirmed, we won't need to be afraid of the Inspectorate anymore."

"."

The three people's conversation reached Jiang Ning's ears with perfect clarity.

After listening to everything, Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed.

"You actually want to kill me?"

next moment.

His gaze once again locked onto the extraordinary tree behind the group.

Having walked through the darkness for several hours, he was well aware of the dangers of the night in this place.

Even he couldn't completely ignore those gusts of eerie wind.

The fact that the three of them could be so relaxed and at ease at night was undoubtedly due to the protection of that divine tree.

Just like Ye Zhengqi and Zhong Yue were protected by that glowing river before.

The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind, and he immediately understood, then made a decision.

Since these three men intended to kill him, how could he possibly let them go?

And the night is his best helper!
