Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 640 A Nascent Soul Realm Expert, Xia Xuanyan!

In the restaurant.

"Miss Xia's words have certainly impressed me!" Jiang Ning said.

"Envoy Jiang, you should think it over carefully. If you don't enter the grotto world and embark on the path of immortality, even if you become invincible in the world in the future, you will only live for a few hundred years at most. Even if you really reach the realm of that invincible martial saint, you will only live for a thousand years. After a thousand years, you will eventually turn into a pile of yellow earth," Xia Wanqin said.

He then took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and continued.

"Moreover, the environment of heaven and earth is now recovering. Perhaps in a few years, perhaps in several decades, perhaps in several hundred years, we immortals will be able to walk out of the cave heaven."

"At that time, even a martial saint as powerful as that who had dominated the world for over eight hundred years might have bowed down."

"However, given that Martial Saint's current state, he probably won't be able to see this scene."

Hearing Xia Wanqin's words.

Jiang Ning suddenly recalled his meeting and conversation with the Black Lotus Mother a year ago.

The Black Lotus Our Lady mentioned the same thing at the time.

The Black Lotus Mother once said that when the world is restored and she is able to descend to earth, she will come to apologize.

His thoughts raced through his mind, and then he looked at Xia Wanqin.

"Miss Xia! Is it confirmed that the environment of heaven and earth has recovered? Do you know the reason behind it?"

Xia Wanqin smiled faintly: "As the environment of heaven and earth recovers, those who have embarked on the path of immortality and have profound cultivation have all felt it. This is a consensus among the powerful in the various grotto-heavens worlds, and it is certainly not wrong!"

She continued, "In the early years, when the environment was at its worst, even the strongest beings in the cave world dared not leave! Back then, once they came out, their spiritual energy would continuously drain away, and if they stayed long enough, they might even experience a regression in their cultivation. But now it's not so serious; most people can come out and explore, and the changes in the environment are quite obvious."

"Miss Xia, what is the reason for this change?" Jiang Ning asked.

Hear the words.

Xia Wanqin pointed to the top of her head and uttered two words in a low voice.

"Heavenly Dao!"

"The Way of Heaven?!" Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened.

"Mm!" Xia Wanqin nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened slightly as he glanced at the void above.

He had already heard the term "Heavenly Way" from several people.

In his previous life, he would have just laughed when he heard this.

But things are different in this life.

Having lived two lives and witnessed different worlds and scenery, I no longer believe this is nonsense.

"Therefore, Lord Jiang, you can think it over carefully!" Xia Wanqin smiled and continued to persuade him, "This choice will definitely be more beneficial than harmful to you, and I will not treat you unfairly!"

The words fell.

Xia Wanqin immediately stood up.

"I know you possess unparalleled talent and must be a very proud person! But you don't need to rush to reply to me; you can think it over carefully! I'm still young and can wait for you for many years! You're even younger!"

Finish this sentence.

Xia Wanqin left the bottle of Nine Heavens Cloud Dew on the table and turned to leave.

The long dress reached the ground, yet remained unstained and undusted.

Her long hair reached past her waist, cascading down like a waterfall.

Jiang Ning watched her slowly leave, her figure disappearing at the top of the stairs, and couldn't help but smile faintly before turning his gaze away.

next moment.

He grabbed the bottle of Nine Heavens Dew that Xia Wanqin had left behind before she left and poured himself a full glass.

Several breaths passed.

"Sir, shall we continue serving the dishes?"

A servant boy ran over and asked Jiang Ning.

When Xia Wanqin was here, he didn't dare to come over to serve the dishes, and he couldn't even get close to her.

Several meters apart, no one could hear the slightest sound of Jiang Ning and Xia Wanqin talking.

"Continue serving the dishes!" Jiang Ning said.

Then, grabbing the ivory chopsticks, he picked up a thick piece of braised beef and put it in his mouth, chewing it in large mouthfuls.

After a while.

One hot dish after another was served, prepared in advance.

Jiang Ning also ate heartily, taking big bites.

After eating and drinking enough.

He returned to his residence.

Close the gate, and the courtyard is bathed in sunshine, with the flowerbeds in full bloom.

[Skill]: Summer Treasure Trove (Minor Mastery 4471/5000)

His gaze swept across his own control panel.

"The sun is shining brightly right now, which is perfect for me to improve my progress in this skill."

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Subsequently.

He went to an open space, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes slightly.

next moment.

He then felt the great sun above his head, radiating light and heat.

Under the blazing sun, the body temperature continued to rise.

Then, he felt a great sun rise from within his body.

Golden light began to emanate from every pore on my body.

A bright sun hangs high overhead, above the clouds.

A great sun sinks into the body, residing within it.

As the two lights reflected each other, he immediately felt a faint heat descending from the void above his head.

It sank into his body, and the illusory sun within him became even brighter as a result.

The golden light emanating from his body became even more dazzling.

time flies.

As the sun rose high in the sky.

boom--

Jiang Ning felt the great sun within his body expand rapidly, its raging flames sweeping across the heavens and earth, endless flames filling every corner of his heart.

at the same time.

He was completely enveloped by a golden sun.

The sun was illusory, emitting no high temperature, yet it was exceptionally dazzling.

It rivals the brilliance of the sun high in the sky.

at this time.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes, and the strange phenomena that had appeared around him vanished instantly, as if everything had existed as an illusion.

[Craft]: Summer Treasure Trove (Great Perfection 8/10000)

"It's a great success!"

He closed the panel, a smile appearing on his face.

After reaching its peak, the Great Sun Soaring Truth will only become stronger, and his strength will correspondingly rise to a higher level.

the other side.

Wanhua Tower.

"Father!"

Upon seeing the refined-looking middle-aged man appear, Xia Wanqin immediately greeted him respectfully.

As one of the Xia family patriarch's children, she was the youngest, but not the most favored.

Because she knew that although her mother was her father's legal wife, she was not the one he loved the most.

Therefore, she dared not overstep her bounds in front of her own father.

"Wanwan, is the news you're telling you exaggerated?" The middle-aged man cut straight to the point.

“There is no exaggeration whatsoever!” Xia Wanqin said.

Then she brought a cup of tea from the table: "Father, please sit down and have some tea first."

The middle-aged man nodded, then took the herbal tea that Xia Wanqin handed him and slowly took a sip.

"Father, this is a record of that Jiang Envoy's past!" Xia Wanqin took out information about Jiangning from his wide sleeve and handed it to the middle-aged man.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man put down his tea, took the intelligence report handed to him by Xia Wanqin, and then quickly scanned it.

Xia Wanqin, standing to the side, also crossed her arms over her stomach, waiting quietly without saying a word.

After a few breaths.

The middle-aged man's pupils contracted, then he continued looking down.

Another moment passed.

He turned his gaze away and looked at Xia Wanqin.

"Girl, is this Jiang Ning really as peerless as you say?"

"Only stronger, not weaker!" Xia Wanqin said.

"Your evaluation of him is quite impressive. I have never seen you praise any man so highly. Even those descendants of Nascent Soul Realm experts, you have always been indifferent to them. I did not expect you to value an ordinary man in the mortal world so much."

“Father, he has the potential to become the second Martial Saint after that one!” Xia Wanqin said.

Hear the words.

The middle-aged man nodded.

"If your intelligence report is correct, then he certainly has that possibility!"

"To reach the Invincible Grandmaster realm at this age is simply outrageous!"

"Even ordinary Yang God level experts might not be his match."

"However, in the past eight hundred years, there have been quite a few people like him who had the opportunity to become Martial Saints. There are several in this world! But in the past eight hundred years, no second Martial Saint has emerged! Thinking about that person, he was truly extraordinary."

Upon hearing her father's words, Xia Wanqin immediately spoke up.

"Does Father not think highly of him?"

"It's not that I'm pessimistic!" The middle-aged man folded up the intelligence he had written about Jiang Ning and shook his head. "It's just that the difficulty is extremely high! In nearly a thousand years, no one has been able to do it, so it's unlikely that he will be an exception! But if what you say is true, he is indeed one of the most promising people!"

Then the middle-aged man added, "But we still have to see it for ourselves!"

“Father, then I’ll take you there!” Xia Wanqin said.

"Hmm!" The middle-aged man nodded and then stood up.

Then he glanced at Xia Wanqin again: "You want to marry him?"

“Father, yes!” Xia Wanqin replied frankly, “Father, I think he is a good match for me!”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and said no more.

"Come on, let's go see him! Whether he's worthy of marrying you is something I'll have to see for myself."

the other side.

Jiang Ning took a refreshing shower, put on clean clothes, and immediately felt completely refreshed.

"After paying a visit to Prefect Ye, I can go straight home! This trip can be considered a success!"

He made a plan in his mind.

at this time.

He couldn't help but look towards the direction outside the courtyard.

At that moment, he felt the air was like water, and a huge creature suddenly entered the water around him, causing ripples.

"A top-tier expert!!"

His gaze sharpened slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind.

next moment.

He then sensed that the supreme expert walking straight towards his courtyard.

"They're after me!" He instantly realized.

After calming himself down, he set off towards the gate of the courtyard.

Open the gate.

He then saw a man and a woman walking towards him.

The man appeared to be in his early forties, dressed in a pale yellow robe, with a refined and approachable demeanor, exuding a scholarly air.

As for the woman, he was very familiar with her; she was Xia Wanqin, whom he had just met that morning.

at this time.

The middle-aged man flashed and instantly covered several meters, appearing in front of Jiang Ning.

See this.

Jiang Ning's pupils suddenly contracted.

Shrinking the earth to an inch!
He was immediately shocked.

The middle-aged man's methods were exactly the same as when he used the Shrinking Earth technique, very natural and effortless, as if it were done without lifting a finger.

at the same time.

Seeing the change in Jiang Ning's eyes, the middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction.

He felt that he had achieved the desired effect of displaying the Shrinking Earth to an Inch Divine Skill, and had already shocked the peerless genius in front of him who had the potential to become the second Martial Saint in the world.

After reading the intelligence summary about Jiangning that Xia Wanqin had given him, he felt that Jiangning was very worthy of his attention.

Because he understood that his daughter's temperament was not one that could be easily appreciated by ordinary people.

Not to mention that she saw herself as a bargaining chip, wanting to marry Jiang Ning and tie him to the Xia family of Xuanhuang Great Cave Heaven.

This was both a way of showing that she, as the daughter, had taken on the responsibility of being a member of the Xia family, and a way of finding a husband.

He trusted his daughter's choices and judgment because he knew she was very intelligent and had perfectly inherited her mother's wisdom.

"My name is Xia Xuanyan!" the middle-aged man introduced himself.

At this moment, Xia Wanqin also arrived behind Xia Xuanyan.

"This is my father, the current head of the Xia family!"

"Patriarch Xia!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands, looking at Xia Xuanyan.

As Xia Xuanyan approached, he sensed a slight shift in the surrounding space and time, and the space itself began to fluctuate, as if he had entered another world.

All of a sudden.

He immediately recalled what Granny Bai had said to Daoist Qingyuan.

Having condensed its primordial spirit, it formed its own little world. In ancient times, it would have been an immortal for countless years.

"Could this also be someone comparable to Daoist Qingyuan?!"

A thought flashed through his mind.

Considering Xia Xuanyan's identity, he felt that his judgment was probably true.

The Xia family patriarch standing before me, who comes from the Xuanhuang Great Cave Heaven, is very likely Xia Wanqin's father, who is also a Nascent Soul expert.

A powerful primordial spirit who has created his own little world.

This perfectly aligns with what Granny Bai said earlier.

A variety of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Xia Wanqin's voice rang in my ears again.

Xia Wanqin moved lightly and came to Jiang Ning's side.

"Father, this is Jiang Ning, the Inspector of Dongling County!"

“Jiang Ning, I’ve heard my daughter talk about you!” Xia Xuanyan looked at Jiang Ning, then glanced at his daughter, and nodded slightly.

"It is my honor to have my ears heard by the Xia family head, a Nascent Soul expert," Jiang Ning said with a smile.

"Oh?" Xia Xuanyan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said, "I didn't expect you to have such insight, being able to see at a glance that I have condensed my primordial spirit."

Jiang Ning said, "I heard about the Primordial Spirit Realm expert from a senior a while ago. They are experts who have created their own small world and have already become immortals in ancient times!"

The words fell.

Jiang Ning immediately stepped aside, clearing the path in the middle of the courtyard.

"Patriarch Xia, please come in!"

"Good!" Xia Xuanyan looked at Jiang Ning and nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

He then stepped over the threshold of the courtyard.

Xia Wanqin followed closely behind, then came to Jiang Ning's side, poked Jiang Ning's arm with her slender fingers, and mouthed something.

"Perform well!!"

Jiang Ning glanced at Xia Wanqin's lip movements, smiled helplessly, and closed the courtyard gate.

Subsequently.

In the bamboo pavilion surrounded by greenery, Jiang Ning took out his fine wine, which was infused with Emperor's nectar.

This was his first time coming into close contact with a Nascent Soul expert. Naturally, he dared not be negligent towards a Nascent Soul expert who had created his own little world.

Moreover, Xia Xuanyan's visit was clearly motivated by goodwill.

He would naturally not neglect such a benevolent and powerful figure.

He wanted to get more information out of Xia Xuanyan.

Such a powerful figure with a distinguished background, high status, and great strength must know far more than he does.
