Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 616 Breaking Limits, Seven Blood Transformations!

Noon.

The sun is shining brightly.

In Jiang Ning's courtyard, the silence was eerily profound, and a sense of oppression permeated the air.

Even the surrounding courtyards were devoid of birdsong and insect chirps.

At this moment, ripples seemed to be moving in the void.

On the lake.

Suddenly, a seven-colored dragon carp emerged from the water.

The golden and red scales shimmered with light under the sun.

next moment.

hum!
Suddenly, the sound of swords rang out in the void.

Then a long sword rose into the air, hovering about ten feet above the ground, its blade trembling continuously.

the other side.

In Bai Luoyu's mansion, several hundred meters away.

Buzz! !

The long sword on the stone table was trembling constantly.

Bai Luoyu immediately withdrew her gaze from Jiang Ning's location and looked at the long sword on the stone table.

At this moment, the longsword was vibrating constantly, as if it were being influenced by some kind of force, ready to be drawn at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Bai Luoyu immediately dodged.

They instantly appeared on the stone table.

"Qiang!"

He drew his sword and immediately felt it vibrating wildly in his hand.

He could feel an invisible force pulling at the longsword in his hand, and the source of that invisible force was the direction Jiang Ning was in.

"What astonishing sword intent! Is this the sword intent that transcends heaven and earth?"

Looking at the trembling longsword in her hand, Bai Luoyu murmured, a look of surprise on her face.

Then, gripping his longsword, he looked in Jiang Ning's direction, a hint of envy involuntarily appearing in his eyes.

He understood that when sword intent permeates heaven and earth, drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, one could step into the realm of a third-grade Celestial Master once the fourth grade was perfected.

If this were applied to Jiang Ning, it would allow him to undergo another blood transfusion.

"With Brother Jiang's talent, he might actually achieve a martial arts legend!" Bai Luoyu murmured, looking in the direction of Jiang Ning.

at this time.

The longsword that had been vibrating in his hand returned to calm.

East courtyard.

The air, which had been almost frozen, began to circulate again, and the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing could be heard all around.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand and the longsword that had been hanging in mid-air instantly transformed into a beam of light and returned to his hand.

hum! ! !
The long sword in his hand hummed softly, and waves of air surged around him, causing the grass and trees to bow down and fall in all directions.

The surging sword intent reached straight to the sky, having already reached the realm of connecting heaven and man.

"It's done!!" A smile immediately appeared on his face.

Once his sword intent reaches the realm of transcending heaven and man, he can complete his seventh blood transfusion.

Think of this.

He gave Linglong a few simple instructions in the lake, then moved and disappeared into the courtyard.

a moment later

Jiang Ning arrived deep in the Dongling Mountains.

The area was surrounded by ancient forests and lush greenery, but next to it lay a lake that resembled a piece of jade.

The lake was calm, without the slightest ripple, like a perfectly smooth mirror.

There were no large trees nearby, and the sunlight could easily spill onto the lake shore.

"It's a good place!" Jiang Ning surveyed the surrounding environment and layout, then nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he looked at his own panel.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword (5 times breaking the limit 7/6000) (Traits: Sword Heart Clarity (Dark Blue), Demon Extermination (Dark Green), Turning Misfortune into Good Fortune (Light Blue), Seven Star Lamp (Light Purple))
【Seven Star Lamp (Light Purple)】: It uses starlight as its core and the three souls and seven spirits as its oil, hence the name Seven Star Lamp.

Light purple?
Upon seeing the grade designation derived from the characteristics, Jiang Ning was immediately surprised.

Purple level is the highest grade among all his derivative traits to date.

"Seven Star Lamps!"

Looking at the annotations on the panel, he muttered to himself again.

After scanning the complete annotations, he was still puzzled.

The explanation of this feature on the panel is not straightforward.

However, from the explanation of those ten or so words, he could roughly judge that this was a characteristic that could be used to fight desperately.

By capturing starlight as the core, and based on the name of this characteristic, he could roughly determine that the so-called core was the lamp wick.

If the three souls and seven spirits are used as oil, then it is meaningless to ask whether to ignite his three souls and seven spirits as lamp oil.

This shows that it is a supernatural technique that burns away his three souls and seven spirits.

As for the consequences, although he didn't try it, he could imagine that it wouldn't end well.

Igniting his three souls and seven spirits would inevitably cause him great damage.

"I can't try it, and there's no need to try it!" Looking at this new feature, he immediately shook his head and made a decision in his heart.

This attempt should not be made unless it is a matter of life and death.

Then, he closed the panel and gripped the longsword in his hand.

"My swordsmanship has improved, but my talent hasn't increased. I wonder how efficient I am at gaining experience points now that I've broken through."

The thought flashed through his mind, and he began to practice the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword.

The moment the sword was used, the surrounding tranquility was shattered.

Suddenly, waves surged on the lake, and the surrounding vegetation was whipped up.

In an instant, wisps of sword intent filled every inch of the surrounding space, turning it into a deadly wasteland for ordinary living beings.

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +2]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +1]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +1]

He stopped after only one repetition of the sword technique.

"The efficiency of gaining experience points has decreased too quickly!" He frowned.

He still remembered that each notification before the breakthrough brought about a five or six point increase in the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword experience points.

Now that the breakthrough is complete, the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword has reached its sixth breakthrough.

Each time you gain relevant sword skill experience points, they are immediately reduced to one or two points.

Such efficiency suddenly becomes insignificant in the face of the requirement of up to 6,000 experience points.

"The next breakthrough will take me more than half a month, even if I continue to practice swordsmanship day and night!" Jiang Ning did a simple calculation in his mind and made a rough judgment.

Realizing this, he immediately abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to upgrade the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword.

For him now, the improvement of the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword to its current level has had a negligible impact on his actual strength.

Even the most exquisite swordsmanship is still just a superior swordsmanship.

Now, when he wields his sword with all his might, the combat power he unleashes is greater than when he uses the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword.

The power brought by the twelve-time limit-breaking wood-chopping knife technique far surpasses that of the six-time Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword technique.

Since its breakthrough, the most useful effect of the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword has only been the enhancement of its derivative properties.

Of those derivative traits, the one that truly helped him was Sword Heart Clarity.

In his view, if this sword technique did not have an extremely high experience point growth efficiency, there was no need to waste time on it.

Moreover, as a superior sword technique, the Seven Star Demon Subduing Sword's five breakthroughs have brought about an improvement in his sword intent, allowing him to reach a level that transcends heaven and earth.

This also fulfills the need for the next blood transfusion.

Once the goal is achieved, there is even less need to spend time and energy on this sword technique.

Having completely cleared his mind, he thrust his long sword into the ground and sat down cross-legged.

With his eyes slightly closed, sword intent erupted from within him, and he instantly adjusted his state.

"Is severing desire the true essence of the Demon-Subduing Sword Intent?"

At this moment, his mind was as clear as a mirror, completely empty and free of distracting thoughts.

next moment.

hum! !

A powerful sword intent erupted from his body.

The longsword he had planted straight into the ground in front of him trembled.

at the same time.

The grass, which had been bending for hundreds of meters around, straightened up instantly.

Like sharp swords pointing straight to the sky.

at this time.

The void rippled, the air seemed to become fresher, and the surrounding vegetation became even more lush and verdant.

A golden inner core radiating dazzling light slowly rose from Jiang Ning's mouth.

The next moment, the golden inner core hovered three feet above his head, seemingly real yet illusory, seemingly unreal yet real.

At this moment, the golden inner core existed between illusion and reality.

Then, countless golden rays burst forth from the inner core.

The surrounding light began to distort, flickering between bright and dim.

Especially in the depths of the dense forest, when the light dims, it's as if night has fallen.

Countless spiritual energies falling from the void were devoured by the inner core like a dragon sucking water.

Jiang Ning also quietly awaited the completion of this step.

a long time.

When he felt that his inner core had been filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and could no longer hold any more, he suddenly opened his mouth.

The golden inner core, seemingly real yet illusory, sank down his throat into his abdomen and then returned to his dantian.

"It's time for a proper blood transfusion!" The thought flashed through his mind, and his body instantly transformed into a furnace.

It felt as if a volcano was erupting within my body, as if heavenly fire was bursting forth.

Waves of terrifying heat emanated from his body.

As the heatwave spread, wisps of blood mist drifted out from the pores of his body.

Blood mist condensed above his head, gradually turning into clouds.

As his old blood was lost, his upright figure slowly became hunched, his body shrank, and his hair turned from black to white before falling out.

The smooth skin began to become wrinkled and uneven, like tree bark.

From this moment on, the life force within the body begins to wither, and vitality gradually fades.

At this moment, the blood-red clouds gathering overhead became even more pronounced.

When the last wisp of blood and energy evaporated, it turned into blood mist and merged into the blood-red clouds above.

Suddenly.

The crimson clouds transformed into a red dragon, soaring into the sky.

Anyone who witnessed this scene would be horrified.

This is the extraordinary phenomenon of Qi and blood transforming into a red dragon, which is the true nature of essence.

This indicates that Jiangning's Qi and blood have reached a new level.

now.

Although Jiang Ning's blood had evaporated, his inner vitality remained strong.

The tree heart inside his abdomen was also taking effect, with warm currents flowing into his limbs and bones, providing the body with the most basic sustenance needed for survival.

After a while.

With the support of the Divine Tree Heart, he easily passed through the most dangerous stage of the blood transfusion process.

A flash of inspiration struck my mind, and the darkness receded.

Memories of his past life flashed through his mind like a flurry of images.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the True Spirit Nine Transformations, a blood-changing technique.

He didn't understand the mystery of this blood-changing method before.

Now I'm gradually understanding.

The true spirit undergoes nine transformations, thus establishing and revealing the true self.

During the blood transfusion, in the face of life and death, as the body transitions from death to recovery, one can glimpse one's true origin and establish the mark of one's true spirit.

In other words, it is about constantly awakening memories of past lives.

To truly see your true self.

But Jiang Ning has now discovered that every time he seizes that opportunity to glimpse his true self, the memories he sees are all memories from his past life.

It seems I have only lived two lives.

As he pondered, he secretly suppressed his turbulent emotions and began to release the spiritual energy of heaven and earth hidden within his inner core.

Once the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was released, it surged into his body like a floodgate being opened.

New blood is also created at this moment.

The body also began to recover at this moment.

At that moment, the tree heart inside its belly suddenly released energy wildly, transforming into a slowly rising sun.

Tens of millions of hot streams also surged in.

He immediately focused his mind and used it for two purposes.

While guiding the regeneration of new blood, it also draws in the essence of the sun to flow into the internal organs.

At this moment, thanks to the influx of new blood into the internal organs.

The functions of the internal organs were restored to normal in an instant, and then they were tempered by the essence of the sun.

[Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise Experience Points +31]

A prompt then appeared before his eyes.

Seeing this, he became even more tense.

Now, at a critical moment of regeneration, he is guiding the essence of the sun to temper his internal organs.

This is quite a challenge for him.

But he didn't want to let the energy in the tree's heart be lost.

In this state, every moment he persisted in was equivalent to several days of breathing exercises in ordinary times.

Time passed slowly, and his body, like an old tree blossoming in spring, sprouted new buds from its withered branches.

My body is recovering rapidly.

The old skin of the body peels off, falling like snowflakes, and the new epidermis becomes plump and lustrous again, like flawless white jade.

The dry hair on the top of the head fell off rapidly, and then black hair sprouted from the top of the head and grew rapidly.

The energy within his body grew stronger and stronger, like a slowly rising sun.

[Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise Experience Points +33]

【.】

After a long time.

His physical transformation was complete, but he still did not open his eyes and wake up.

Because the tree's heart inside is undergoing its final burning.

Countless turbulent energy flows throughout the body, replenishing the energy consumed during the regeneration of new blood.

A long time passed.

Only after his internal energy returned to calm did he slowly open his eyes.

"Hungry!!!"

His eyes gleamed with a hungry, thirsty look.

His body completely absorbed the tree heart, but it did not bring him a sense of fulfillment.

This only made him feel even hungrier.

This kind of hunger is not the kind where your stomach is empty, but rather a kind of hunger where your body is severely lacking in energy.

He raised his hand and waved.

Suddenly a bundle appeared in front of him.

The bundle he had brought out from Shangyang Cave.

The next moment, he grabbed a bright red mineral and threw it into his mouth.

Click! !
As he clenched his teeth, the hard ore in his mouth was instantly crushed and then quickly ground into dust.

Having just swallowed the ore residue in his mouth, he grabbed a piece of dry twig and threw it into his mouth.

Thanks to the power of the Fiery Eyes, every item in the bundle contains special energy.

Before he could even swallow the fruit in his mouth, he grabbed another spiritual fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.

At this moment, his body seemed like a bottomless pit.

In the blink of an eye, he had consumed a portion of rare and precious spiritual plants.

Despite his continued eating and consuming the spiritual plants and rare treasures he had brought from Shangyang Cave, his stomach remained shriveled.

Every rare and precious plant that entered his body was instantly broken down, transforming into pure energy to replenish the body's deficiencies.

Throughout the process, he guided the essence of the sun into his internal organs, and the progress of his internal alchemy cultivation also increased rapidly.

A good half hour had passed.

He only stopped what he was doing after he had completely destroyed the spiritual plants and rare treasures in front of him.

"This consumption is outrageous!" Looking at the completely empty bundle in front of him, he sighed and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Then he looked at his own control panel.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique (Breaking the limit three times to 4000/40000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Dark Purple) Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple))
"full?"

Seeing the progress of the Neidan Health Cultivation Exercise, he was stunned.

With a full 40,000 experience points, it is now perfectly complete.

His gaze then swept over the Energy Points column.

【Source Energy】:64011
"100,000 points are needed to satisfy the next breakthrough of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique. I wonder if that will be enough by tomorrow!"

Looking at the current panel, a thought flashed through his mind.
