Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 611: The Battle Between a Martial Arts Master and a Peak Immortal Martial Arts Master!

The rain was torrential, and the downpour became increasingly intense.

In the rain curtain, the light of Jiang Ning's sword rolled, and the raindrops turned into mist the moment they touched the sword light.

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +7]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +6]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +7]

【.】

Compared to before, the efficiency of gaining experience points has decreased again.

Jiang Ning was already mentally prepared for this.

As the number of breakthroughs in this superior sword technique increases, further improvement naturally becomes more and more difficult.

The effects of accumulating martial arts skills will gradually weaken.

Based on the current situation, he could imagine it.

If one breaks through a few more realms but their sword aptitude doesn't improve significantly, they can only rely on slow, persistent effort to improve.

Ultimately, it may end up like the Taixu Yin Yang Sword or the Five Animal Fist.

Practicing the entire technique once will only bring a slight increase in experience points.

time flies.

The rain poured down, the sky roared, and the thunder grew louder.

Suddenly, Jiang Ning felt a vibration coming from the Heavenly Secret Talisman he carried close to his body.

His swordplay remained fluid and precise, and the raindrops falling from above seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, falling to both sides three feet above his head.

Subsequently.

Jiang Ning took out the Heavenly Secrets Scroll from his waist.

This item serves as the inspector's identification token and also functions as a communication tool.

With this item, even if they are thousands of miles apart, he can still contact Zhao Yulong, Bai Luoyu, and Ye Zhengqi.

However, the number of uses is limited within a certain time period, and each message will consume the energy in the Heavenly Secret Talisman, which needs time to recover.

He didn't understand before, but now he understands quite a bit.

For this reason, the Heavenly Secrets Register is not used lightly under normal circumstances, to prevent it from being unusable when necessary.

Therefore, he understood that the sudden movement of the Heavenly Secret Record meant that something important had happened.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Secrets Record would not be used so easily.

next moment.

After receiving the message from the Heavenly Secret Talisman, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

The clouds above grew even darker, and the rain curtain stretched as far as the eye could see. Every now and then, a silver snake would pierce through the clouds, and the heavens and earth would roar.

"Prince of Huai'an!!" He murmured to himself, looking at the dark clouds above.

The message that Tianji Lu just sent from Ye Zhengqi was to warn him to be careful.

The Prince of Huai'an is fighting this way with a powerful expert from a blessed land.

The battle between the two has resulted in over a thousand casualties.

Ye Zhengqi reminded him that if the battle spread to Dongling City, he should ignore it and prioritize his own safety.

As the message from the Heavenly Secrets Record flashed through his mind, Jiang Ning secretly gasped.

the other side.

Bai Luoyu and Zhao Yulong also came out of the house, looking solemnly at the dark clouds above.

They also received a message from Ye Zhengqi.

“The ancient monsters from a thousand years ago have all come out. Is the time ripe?” Zhao Yulong stood under the eaves, looking at the rain curtain in the sky, and muttered to himself.

At this moment, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

For hundreds of years, the remaining grotto-heavens have remained secluded from the world, and even historical records about these figures have almost disappeared. Ordinary people have no idea that such beings still exist in the world.

As for those old monsters, they almost never walk in the mortal world.

As the head of the Dongling County Inspectorate, he was aware of this and knew a lot about it.

This is why he felt even heavier-hearted.

The old monster emerged from the cave, clearly indicating that those forces could no longer restrain themselves.

East courtyard.

Looking at the thunder rumbling overhead.

Jiang Ning brought his right index and middle fingers together and smeared them towards his brow.

In an instant.

A white vertical line appeared between his eyebrows.

Within the vertical lines, brilliant white light dissipated like smoke and clouds.

"Open!" Jiang Ning shouted inwardly again.

The vertical lines between his brows opened up, and countless dazzling rays of light burst forth from the slowly opening gap.

He glanced around.

Nothing in the world could obstruct his view.

His gaze pierced through the thick, dark clouds, looking up at the sky above them.

next moment.

He then noticed two figures coming from the east above the clouds.

One of the figures had a dignified face, with eyebrows that slanted upwards towards his temples.

The other figure was unusually young, with a face like that of a young man in his early twenties, skin as white as jade, and a head of glossy white hair.

Upon seeing the two figures, Jiang Ning instantly recognized one of them.

The dignified-looking middle-aged man was none other than the Prince of Huai'an.

The identity of the other young man is self-evident; he comes from the old monster in the cave.

An ancient monster from a thousand years ago!

Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with a strange light as he looked at the white-haired man who appeared so young.

He realized once again why, even in this era of great change, Shen Yueru still regarded martial arts as a heretical path.

This is not only because martial arts are not thriving in the region where Shen Yueru is located.

More importantly, immortal cultivators are incredibly resilient.

The ancient monster from a thousand years ago still looks like a twenty-year-old boy.

Putting aside everything else, the miraculous effect of eternal youth and the long lifespan alone are enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of the immortal path.

In the face of time.

Even the Martial Saint who dominated the world for over eight hundred years eventually reached the end of his life.

Those powerful immortals who were suppressed by him back then are still so young and still have such charm.

Jiang Ning was overwhelmed with emotion.

After a while.

He steadied himself and continued to observe the battle between the two peak experts using his Heavenly Eye.

One of them was a king of a different surname in the Great Xia Dynasty, who was granted the title of King of Huai'an based on his peak first-grade martial arts strength.

One of them is a powerful immortal from a blessed land, who has lived for over a thousand years.

Both of them are powerful figures who stand at the pinnacle of their time.

This was also the first time he had witnessed such a powerful battle.

He then noticed that their fighting styles were both unremarkable.

Walking on air, fighting hand to hand, without any fancy moves.

The two fought fiercely above the clouds. With every move they made, the wind and clouds changed color, and the thick clouds beneath their feet were sometimes torn apart and sometimes reformed.

The two of them would sometimes plunge into the black sea of ​​clouds from the sky.

The aftershocks of the battle instantly caused the sea of ​​clouds to surge with fury, and countless bolts of lightning exploded in the dark clouds.

Then it surged from the clouds into the sky.

The dark clouds below were instantly torn apart by the two people's movements, and then slowly collided together.

When positive and negative charges collide, a white lightning bolt, powerful enough to illuminate the heavens and the earth, flashes out in an instant.

"So strong!!" Jiang Ning was secretly shocked as he watched the two engage in close combat. Although they were separated by countless miles, he could see their fight very clearly thanks to his Heavenly Eye.

He could sense that the two men's every move, though seemingly ordinary, carried immense power.

A casual punch can stir up the sea of ​​clouds and turn a raging wind into a surging wave.

With a single strike, it can shatter the air, turning it from a gaseous state into a solid state.

The aftershocks of the battle were like a storm tearing everything around us apart.

At that moment, he felt that the two of them only needed one punch to potentially destroy his body.

"Is this what it means to be at the pinnacle of martial arts?" Jiang Ning was deeply shocked.

He originally thought he was powerful enough.

A third-rank Grandmaster, a being who has undergone six blood transfusions.

Even a top-tier master is no match for him.

Even a second-rank Grandmaster, as powerful as Li Sixiang.

From his current perspective, he believes he can also win.

With such strength, he is already a true powerhouse in the world.

But seeing the battle above the clouds jolted him awake.

It turns out that the gap between strong people can be so vast.

That kind of power is beyond human capabilities; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it divine.

He felt a surge of relief, thankful that he hadn't clashed with Elder Han Qiu of Qingyang Cave Heaven a few days ago at Yanghu.

As fellow ancient monsters from a thousand years ago, he didn't think Elder Han Qiu was much weaker than the two people above the clouds.

He then noticed that the two people above the clouds were fighting and killing each other as they headed towards Dongling City.

"Could they really be coming to Dongling City?" Jiang Ning asked gravely.

The fight between those two completely overturned his previous understanding.

Humanity and armies are meaningless in the face of such a powerful force.

If these two were to fight their way to Dongling City, the aftershocks of their battle would be enough to cause the city to collapse and countless people to die.

"It will take about three hours for these two to fight their way to the skies above Dongling City!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

An hour later.

boom--

A giant golden hand slammed out, and the shockwave spread out like waves.

"Great Luo Heavenly Palm!"

"Lu Zhan, your essence, energy, and spirit have completely merged, reaching the true pinnacle of martial arts!!!"

The white-haired man was sent flying several miles away by a single palm strike, spitting out blood, and staring in horror at the Prince of Huai'an above the clouds.

"Now that you know, don't you think it's too late?" The Prince of Huai'an looked at the white-haired youth in front of him and smiled coldly.

"You want to kill me?" The white-haired youth looked at the Prince of Huai'an, his tone grave.

“Otherwise?” The Prince of Huai’an smiled faintly: “I have fought with you all the way here. You are now thousands of miles away from the Four Great Grotto-Heavens. The green mountains and clear waters below are a feng shui treasure land for burial.”

Then, the Prince of Huai'an stepped into the void, as if walking on the ground, and approached the white-haired youth.

With each step he took, the Prince of Huai'an instantly covered a distance of more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

"Pang Yunhai, it took you hundreds of years to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, yet you dare to step out of your small cave? You truly don't know the meaning of death!!"

Upon hearing this, the white-haired youth's expression slightly hardened.

"Lu Zhan, although you have achieved perfect harmony of spirit, energy, and martial arts, and have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, I have reached the end of both the immortal and martial arts paths. What do I have to fear from you?"

"The Immortal Path and the Martial Path? Reaching the pinnacle?" Prince Lu Zhan of Huai'an sneered and continued forward: "The Immortal Path has not yet transcended tribulation and become an immortal, and the Martial Path has not yet reached its peak and entered sainthood. What qualifications do you have to claim the pinnacle?"

As they spoke, Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an, had already arrived a hundred feet in front of the white-haired youth.

next moment.

King Lu Zhan of Huai'an pushed with a single palm.

In an instant.

A pair of golden hands instantly materialized and slid horizontally towards the target.

As the golden palm pushed forward, it expanded by an inch with each step forward, until in the blink of an eye, the palm grew to over ten zhang high. The air currents were pushed aside like a tide, turning into surging waves that rushed towards the white-haired youth.

"The Great Luo Heavenly Hand!" The white-haired youth's gaze turned solemn.

He could see that at this moment, Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an, was no longer holding back and was using deadly moves.

Instead of retreating, he immediately advanced.

As he took a step, the sky suddenly darkened, and stars rose above his head.

Then starlight fell, and his aura surged out of nowhere.

"Transforming immortality into martial arts, reversing the Seven Star Steps, drawing upon the power of the stars to empower yourself, Pang Yunhai, you have quite the methods!" The voice of Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an, rang out.

As Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an, finished speaking, the white-haired youth took seven steps in an instant. The sky above his head turned into night, seven large stars shone brightly, and countless starlight fell.

The aura of the white-haired youth also surged by several times.

Seeing the golden palm so close at hand, the white-haired youth threw a punch, meeting the palm head-on.

boom! !

The sky and the earth roared.

The towering golden palm, as majestic as a mountain, was instantly shattered, but at that moment, the white-haired youth was also sent flying backward, with blood mist spreading in the sky.

He was beaten bloody by Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an, and his right arm was completely blown off.

The aftershocks spread, tearing a gap in the clouds below.

Without the obstruction of clouds, golden sunlight streamed in through the gap in the sky.

If someone were below the gap in the clouds at this moment, they would see the King of Huai'an bathed in gold, standing like a god high in the sky.

"Still trying to escape!" The Prince of Huai'an sneered.

With a swift movement, it transformed into golden light and gave chase.

Dongling City.

Upon seeing this scene in the distant clouds, Jiang Ning gasped in shock.

With his clairvoyance and lip reading, he could roughly discern the information conveyed in their conversation.

"Only when essence, energy, and spirit are perfectly integrated can one reach the pinnacle of martial arts!" He was secretly astonished at that moment.

Looking back at himself, he realized that the special power in his dantian was a power that only those at the pinnacle of martial arts could master.

The Prince of Huai'an has clearly reached this point, standing at the pinnacle of martial arts.

Such an achievement clearly exceeded the expectations of that powerful figure from the cave heaven.

This is why the King of Huai'an's strength was fully unleashed, and the battle turned into a one-sided affair.

At this moment, he could not calm down.

He immediately looked at the panel.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique (Breaking the limit three times to 17337/40000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Dark Purple) Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple))
These days, he no longer breathes in the essence of the sun.

Because for the current progress required in internal alchemy health cultivation, the improvement brought about by simply breathing in the essence of the sun is too slow.

If he wants to accumulate the remaining 20,000 experience points to the maximum progress, it will take him at least 200 days, given his daily efficiency in absorbing the essence of the sun.

That took about half a year.

This matter is not a high priority now, so he has not devoted his time to internal alchemy health cultivation.

There has been no increase in experience points for this technique in the past few days.

But after witnessing the conversation between Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an, and Pang Yunhai, the powerful figure from the grotto-heaven, above the clouds, he immediately understood the extraordinary nature of the Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Technique.

With just the third breakthrough, the improvement in his cultivation technique allowed him to master the power that only those at the pinnacle of martial arts could wield.

The essence, energy, and spirit are integrated into one.

Upon discovering this, the importance of Neidan health cultivation immediately rose several notches in his mind.

With his current level of experience, it is not impossible for him to meet the requirements for the next breakthrough in a short period of time.

After all, he hadn't used any of the rare spiritual plants and treasures he brought out from Shangyang Cave.

The divine tree heart inside his abdomen has not yet been refined and still exists within his body.

If he could refine all of these stored goods, he felt he would be fully capable of breaking through the limits of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique next time.
