Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 604 The True Scripture of Yin and Yang of the Great Void, the Enhancement of the Yin and Yang Sword of the Great Void!
The interior of Shangyang.

Within the Yangchi Pool.

Shen Yueru opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Ning, who was standing close by, with a somewhat unfocused gaze.

The recent spiritual connection made her feel that she had some kind of connection with Jiang Ning.

"Thank you, junior brother!" Shen Yueru murmured to herself.

She could sense that, after the recent fusion of their souls, her spiritual body had reached the realm of pure yang.

The fact that their bodies were touching and their hands and feet were pressed together, and their temperatures were similar, proved that she, like Jiang Ning, was of pure Yang in spirit and body.

She knew that once she took this crucial step and her spiritual body returned, achieving the status of a Yang God would be a natural outcome.

It's infinitely simpler than before.

"I shall be the leader of the Crimson Radiance Sect!" Shen Yueru's mind was resolute. She then withdrew her hands and took a half step back.

As soon as she had a thought.

Her naked body was instantly covered by the red dress.

For a spiritual being, clothing is merely a manifestation of one's thoughts.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning kept his eyes slightly closed, processing Shen Yueru's insights from his visit.

His understanding of swordsmanship converged in his heart.

After a long time.

He slowly opened his eyes.

"Senior Sister!" Jiang Ning said, looking at Shen Yueru standing three feet in front of him.

"Thank you, Junior Brother!" Shen Yueru said, "I owe you a favor, Junior Brother. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay this favor."

"Senior sister, you're too kind! Although I made a contribution, I suffered no loss whatsoever. On the contrary, I benefited greatly from you!" Jiang Ning said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yueru smiled slightly.

"I didn't quite understand the mystery of dual cultivation where the soul and spirit merged before, but now I finally understand why so many geniuses seek out suitable Daoist partners! A suitable Daoist partner is of great help to the path of cultivation! No wonder I was always inferior to those few people in the sect before."

"Is this your first time trying this, Senior Sister?" Jiang Ning asked.

“Of course!” Shen Yueru nodded: “Normally, a person will only choose one suitable person as their Dao partner in their lifetime, because the fusion of souls will leave behind the other person’s aura. If you change to another person, it is difficult to reach the same state as we just did! There will always be a gap, as if there is a thin film between you! So often, once a cultivator loses his first Dao partner, he will not have a second one.”

"I see!" Jiang Ning nodded in understanding.

at this time.

An invisible wave descended upon Jiang Ning.

“Junior Brother is about to leave the Shangyang Inner Realm!” Shen Yueru looked up slightly and said, watching the slowly descending fluctuations.

"It seems it's time!" Jiang Ning said, sensing that the fluctuation was about to hit him.

This is also a sign that this place is about to send him away.

This brief buffer period also gives him time to prepare.

Shen Yueru looked at Jiang Ning: "It's a pity that the flow of time is different in different regions, otherwise I could have arranged a time to cultivate together with my junior brother!"

"Senior sister, if fate allows, we'll meet again next time!" Jiang Ning smiled.

“That will be a month from now!” Shen Yueru said.

"Goodbye, Senior Sister!" Jiang Ning bowed and took his leave.

The next moment, his figure instantly shrank to a single point, and as the void closed, Jiang Ning completely disappeared from this place, leaving no trace behind.

Then, Shen Yueru also felt the fluctuation descending upon her.

"It seems my junior brother arrived before me. No wonder I saw him in that place!" Shen Yueru murmured.

Then she stopped resisting the fluctuations and let them fall upon her.

Then, her figure shrank into a red light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Crimson Radiance Grotto Heaven.

A bright red sun hangs high in the sky.

If you look closely at the sun in the sky, you will find a magnificent bird soaring high in the sky.

Beneath the blazing sun, a sacred mountain rises over ten thousand feet high, reaching straight into the sky.

Within the sacred mountain, rosy clouds flow, resembling a misty river.

The mountainside is covered with large red trees of various shapes and sizes, and as the mountain wind blows, the forest undulates like red waves.

In a cave.

Sunlight refracted through the prism above, spilling into the cave and transforming the originally dim cave into a magnificent and bright one.

In the center of the cave, a woman in a red dress sat cross-legged on a stone platform.

At this moment, her body was filled with yang energy, and waves of heat were rolling around her.

This person was none other than Shen Yueru.

Shen Yueru, who had just returned from the Shangyang Inner Realm.

When that pure Yang spirit merged into her body, it triggered a transformation in her soul.

In just a few breaths, this transformation was complete.

Shen Yueru then slowly opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

"The most crucial step has finally been taken! My control over magical power has become even more refined, and my ability to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now stronger!"

Then, she immediately stood up: "It's time to fight for the top spot!"

the other side.

Guangning Prefecture.

In an unnamed mountain forest.

Jiang Ning was momentarily dazed, but then his consciousness returned completely.

He looked up at the sky, gazing at the position of the sun, and then his gaze suddenly sharpened.

“The sun overhead was almost stationary, which means that so much happened to me in the Shangyang Inner Landscape, but only a short time passed here.”

"The inner realm is truly mysterious and wondrous!"

He sighed with emotion.

He then composed himself.

His eyes narrowed.

whoosh-

The air currents in the void were broken apart.

A sharp sword beam slashed across a large tree in front of them.

ka ka ka-

The next moment, the tree slowly broke and tilted, its fibers tearing apart continuously.

The more the tree leans, the more pronounced the downward force of gravity becomes, and the more the tree trunk is torn apart.

The moment when you can't hold back anymore.

Boom——

The broken tree fell heavily to the ground, sending mud flying. Birds in the forest were startled and took flight.

"I have grasped part of Shen Yueru's sword comprehension. Is this the mystery of dual cultivation?" He murmured, looking at the large tree in front of him that had been cut down by sword intent.

The previous dual cultivation session left him with many insights into the swordsmanship of Shen Yueru.

After digesting the information, he gained a new understanding and awareness of the way of the sword.

Whether it's sword techniques, sword stances, or sword intent, they are all forms of swordsmanship.

The rules of swordsmanship encompass all its variations.

In his view, the swordsmanship that Shen Yueru had mastered was very similar to sword intent.

In his view, the most fundamental change between the two is that Kendo will dissect its essence, allowing one to understand the reasons behind it, and comprehend all the rules and variations of Kendo.

This is also the advantage of the complete perfection of the path of immortality.

But sword intent is different.

He had mastered martial arts to an unparalleled level, and through his comprehension and a flash of inspiration, he grasped a higher level of sword intent. He could be said to have entered the Dao through martial arts and reached the pinnacle of perfection.

Mastering sword intent does not mean understanding its essence and variations.

It's hard for Jiangning to say which one is superior or inferior, stronger or weaker.

He could only say that, comparatively speaking, Shen Yueru's cultivation method directly points to the origin of swordsmanship, and is undoubtedly very advanced and has a complete lineage. However, the path to immortality is difficult, and only those with deep-rooted immortality can enter its gate.

Martial arts, on the other hand, are different; any ordinary person can enter its gates.

But it's not easy going forward either; the further you go, the more difficult it becomes. For example, comprehending the essence of a concept requires an extremely high level of understanding.

Those who achieve great success never have an easy path, no matter which one they choose.

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then looked at the control panel.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Beginner 3341/10000)

Upon seeing the changes on the panel, Jiang Ning's expression tightened slightly.

"It's ten times the requirements of the Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise!"

"As expected of the supreme sword technique that Senior Sister spoke of!"

Looking at the experience points displayed on the panel, Jiang Ning understood.

In terms of quality and mystery, the Taixu Yin Yang Sword is undoubtedly far superior to the Inner Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique.

The empirical value required to break through between the two is sufficient to draw a conclusion.

He still remembered that the Neidan Health Cultivation Exercise required 1,000 experience points to go from beginner to expert, while the Taixu Yin Yang Sword now required 10,000 experience points.

As for lower-level, middle-level, and higher-level martial arts, each requires 100 experience points.

The three categories are clearly distinguished in terms of their grade and complexity, and the required experience points directly divide them into three equal parts.

"The Yin-Yang Sword of the Void!" Jiang Ning murmured, then closed his eyes.

He reviewed all the information about this sword technique in his mind once again.

At the same time, Shen Yueru's insights into swordsmanship were digested in his mind, and his insights into the Taixu Yin Yang Sword also surfaced in his mind.

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +7]

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +7]

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +7]

【.】

After a long time.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes again.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Beginner 5143/10000)

"Senior Sister should cultivate the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword to the point of mastery, or even minor success!"

"If one cultivates to the point of minor success, one should have mastered that move!"

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Having thoroughly digested what he had learned about the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword, he now had a more comprehensive understanding of this supreme sword technique.

The vast emptiness is called the universe, and the universe refers to space.

The name "Taixu" in Taixu Yin Yang Sword indicates that this sword technique involves the principles of space.

The words "Yin Yang" indicate that this supreme sword technique also involves the principles of Yin and Yang.

This supreme sword technique consists of a total of 360 sword moves.

Three hundred and sixty is the number of the Great Heavenly Cycle.

Completely mastering these 360 ​​sword moves signifies that the sword technique has reached a high level of proficiency, allowing for free use and the manipulation of Yin and Yang and the power of space.

Reaching the minor level of mastery signifies a further improvement in one's mastery of the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword, enabling the use of its deadly moves.

The Great Void Returns to the Hidden.

As for the Great Perfection, it means mastering even more powerful killing moves.

At the same time, Jiang Ning also felt a little regretful.

Because the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword Technique is merely a sword technique, not the Taixu Yin-Yang True Scripture.

If it is the Taixu Yin Yang True Scripture, there is also the Taixu Qi Guiding Method and the Yin Yang Taiji Wheel.

The Trinity is the true and complete scripture.

That is the supreme scripture that leads directly to the Great Dao.

Just by digesting the relevant information, Jiang Ning could feel the brilliance of that era and the power of the Shangyang Immortal Sect.

Because he knew that the Shangyang Immortal Sect was not the Taixu Sword Sect.

The name Shangyang signifies that the core tradition of the Shangyang Immortal Sect is not swordsmanship, but rather related to the character "Yang".

At the same time, he also understood why Shen Yueru had advised him in the Shangyang Inner Realm, urging him to give up the path of martial arts and focus on the path of immortality.

At this moment, he understood somewhat.

The era that could create such profound and mysterious techniques must have been incredibly prosperous, and the path to immortality was undoubtedly a righteous road to heaven.

Even though in this era, the environment is no longer suitable for the cultivation of immortality.

However, thanks to the existence of blessed lands and grotto-heavens, the path to immortality has not been completely severed.

This was true both in the region where Shen Yueru was located and in the world he inhabited.

However, he did not believe that martial arts was just a shortcut.

Faced with a perfect path, how could the Martial Saint of the Great Xia Dynasty a thousand years ago have emerged out of nowhere, slaying immortals and gods, establishing his rule over the world, and dominating it for over eight hundred years, suppressing numerous forces and forcing various blessed lands and grotto-heavens to close their doors? How could the Martial Path be a completely undesirable minor path?
Furthermore, the power of martial arts originates from oneself and does not depend on the external environment; it seeks within oneself rather than from outside.

This is a huge advantage in itself.

In this respect, he believed that his knowledge was far superior to Shen Yueru's.

Because in the world where Shen Yueru lived, no martial saint had emerged out of nowhere and dominated the world for more than eight hundred years.

From what Shen Yueru said, he could also learn that in Shen Yueru's realm, the strength of martial artists was a whole major realm lower than that of people here.

Although both are martial arts, they are completely different.

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Ning shook his head again.

"But the path of immortality is not necessarily undesirable! Many martial arts techniques are derived from the methods of immortality."

"The Taixu Yin Yang Sword Technique is clearly a sword technique that I can use."

"I wonder if the scripture with the character 'Yang' can also be used as I do?"

With that in mind, he looked at his control panel again.

[Craftsmanship]: Yang Character Scripture (incomplete, cannot be upgraded)

He knew that the Shangyang Immortal Sect, named after Shangyang, clearly had a core tradition that was not about swordsmanship, but rather related to the word "Yang".

He has now received the inheritance of the Yang scripture, which is obviously of a higher level than the Taixu Yin Yang True Scripture, not to mention the Taixu Yin Yang Sword Technique.

"I wonder if I will be able to obtain this complete scripture when I go to the pulpit next time."

Looking at his own panel, Jiang Ning had a flurry of thoughts, and a sense of excitement welled up inside him.

The more he learned about the power of the Shangyang Immortal Sect, the more he longed for the continued inheritance of the Yang scripture.

This concerns his future achievements, and even the upper limit of his achievements.

After thinking for a long time, he got up.

Only then did he realize that his divine sense had changed. As his gaze shifted, he could perceive all the movements around him at any moment, even without paying special attention.

This clearly indicates that his spirit has been strengthened once again.

next moment.

He closed his eyes on the spot, his mind focused on the spiritual field.

He then saw that the current divine soul was no longer a dark blue spirit body, but rather a golden light flowing around it, with a faint golden hue filling the undulating mist.

However, the sample was not completely preserved; the torso and head still retained a faint bluish hue.

"It'll be soon. After soaking in the Yang Pool once or twice more in the Shangyang Inner Landscape, I should be able to completely achieve Yang Shen status."

Jiang Ning clenched his fist, feeling a surge of excitement.

In ancient times, a Yang Shen would be considered the pinnacle of humanity, below even the immortals.

Even in this era, it is a remarkable achievement.

Neither Xie Yang, whom he fought, nor the young man with the giant sword he had seen in Qingyuan Cave Heaven before, had reached the level of Yang God.

The only Yang Gods he had ever seen were the Heavenly King of the Yellow Heaven Sect he had met in Guangning City, and Elder Han Qiu of the Qingyun Sect on Yang Lake.

One of them was one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Yellow Heaven Sect, a renowned figure in the world; the other was an old monster from several generations ago, who may have lived for a thousand years.

Neither of them are simple characters.
