Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 648 Changes in Immortal Roots: Metal Element Qi and Breath Soil!

Excalibur Villa.

Shangguan Feilong stared at the erased writing on the wooden table and bowed deeply towards the empty space for a long time.

Until a long time.

He then withdrew his respectful posture.

"He must have left!" Shangguan Feilong thought to himself.

He was secretly shocked to see that an inch of the tabletop had been wiped away from the wooden table.

Even though he knew there was something on the table, he hadn't noticed anything unusual from the beginning until now.

"If it really is him, what level has he reached?" This thought flashed through Shangguan Feilong's mind.

the other side.

Jiang Ning was very satisfied after leaving Shenjian Manor.

He believed that his actions just now would be enough to make Shangguan Feilong think twice before acting in the future.

Since he was able to come to Shenjian Manor once, Shangguan Feilong might come three, five, or even countless times.

With this concern in mind, Shangguan Feilong dared not do anything rash.

After leaving the Divine Sword Manor, he transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the night sky.

At this moment, he could truly feel the sensation of soaring between heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, they had swept over several mountain peaks.

At his current speed, he feels that distance will no longer be a problem.

If you really need to travel, you can cross several states in one night.

The Great Xia Dynasty today only encompasses the land of the Nine Provinces.

After a while.

He appeared in the sky above Guangning City.

It was already well past midnight, and dawn was not far off.

Jiang Ning hovered above Guangning City, where the city below was completely silent.

You can only hear a few barks occasionally.

Then, his gaze turned to the Marquis's residence.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a golden light that instantly pierced the night sky.

In an instant, he arrived above the gate of the Marquis's mansion.

The Marquis's residence was unusually quiet at this time.

Only a few patrol teams moving around the mansion made some noise.

at this time.

Jiang Ning felt a gaze coming from deep within the Marquis's residence.

Look in the direction he is in.

"Which fellow Daoist has come here so late at night? Please come out and meet me!"

Shen Wenyuan's voice rang out.

The entire manor suddenly became noisy, with patrolmen drawing their swords and holding their torches higher, illuminating the surroundings.

the other side.

Shen Wenyuan, wearing a cloak, pushed open the door and came out.

He stared intently at the sky above the gate of his own mansion.

"Yang Shen!!"

His expression was solemn.

A second-rank Grandmaster nourishes his spirit with the true essence of martial arts.

At this level, a martial artist's mental strength will continue to grow, their sixth sense will become incredibly sharp, and their soul will become increasingly powerful.

Therefore, they can sense people and things that ordinary people cannot sense at all.

At this moment, he could sense a golden energy cluster gathering in the sky not far ahead.

Although he couldn't see that energy cluster with his eyes, he could sense it with his mental power.

It landed in his spiritual world, its energy intense and dazzling.

This is clearly a symbol of the Yang God.

Because the Yin spirit gives him a dark and cold feeling.

Those who achieve the Yang God realm are considered the pinnacle of the human realm within the realm of immortality.

In ancient times, that would be considered an existence on par with the pinnacle of the highest rank.

Even in this era, it would be beyond the capabilities of an ordinary second-rank official.

He knew about his own affairs.

Not long after he was promoted to the second rank, he was granted the title of Marquis of Wenyuan and came to Guangning City to take up his post.

Therefore, his strength can only be barely considered as ordinary second-rank.

They were no match for a Yang God level expert.

Not to mention that in this day and age, it is very difficult to find pure immortal cultivators.

Almost every accomplished cultivator in the Daoist path has a deep understanding of martial arts.

With the speed of thought and brain function of a powerful immortal, even if they have never been exposed to martial arts, their learning and comprehension speed is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Who is it?" The thought flashed through his mind as he quickly ran through the possibilities.

He knew that there was more than one blessed land within the Guangning Prefecture.

However, even in blessed lands, powerful beings of the Yang God realm are not as common as cabbages.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning hovered in the air above the gate of the Marquis's mansion.

At this moment, he had a complete view of the commotion throughout the entire Marquis's residence.

Shen Wenyuan also caught his eye.

"As expected! With Shen Wenyuan's cultivation level as a second-grade Grandmaster, he was able to detect my presence!"

After a breath or two, he understood.

Although Shen Wenyuan knew of his arrival, he clearly hadn't fully discovered him.

Because Shen Wenyuan's gaze was unfocused.

Especially as he moved sideways repeatedly, Shen Wenyuan's gaze remained unchanged.

All these behaviors made him instantly understand.

After a brief moment of thought, he vanished from the gate of the Marquis's residence.

To reveal one's attainment of Yang Godhood in this way would be far too shocking.

He worried that if word got out from here, it would attract too much attention.

With Jiang Ning's departure.

Shen Wenyuan's solemnity remained unchanged.

"I don't know if it's good or evil!" he sighed inwardly.

He stood there for a long time until the sound of footsteps interrupted his thoughts.

the other side.

Jiang Ning's figure transformed into a golden light and streaked across the night sky.

But no one saw this golden light.

Based on the experiment he just conducted, he can now confirm it.

Even Shen Wenyuan, a second-rank grandmaster, could only sense his presence but could not discover him.

This discovery made him understand the wonders of the Yang God.

Ordinary martial artists wouldn't even be able to detect it, let alone pose a threat.

As the thought flashed through his mind, he suddenly remembered the incident from a year ago.

A year ago, when he was still very weak.

When Huang Tianjiao entered Luoshui County, a local deity named Diwang Yin Shen came to Luoshui County one night and found him.

That night was extremely dangerous.

In the end, Lin Qingyi suddenly made a move, injuring the Yin spirit of the Earth King and forcing him to retreat.

Now, recalling this incident again, he immediately understood Lin Qingyi's extraordinary nature.

According to his understanding, Lin Qingyi had not yet entered the realm of a third-grade grandmaster at that time.

Yet, even from a great distance, they could sense the arrival of that Earth King Yin God.

It can also pose a threat to them, injuring and forcing them to retreat.

As a second-grade Grandmaster, Shen Wenyuan has entered the Divine Realm.

Nourish your spirit with intention, and your soul will transform, resulting in powerful mental strength.

They couldn't even see the Yang Spirit, let alone achieve what Lin Qingyi did back then—injury and forced back.

"It seems to be related to Lin Qingyi's special physique!"

He thought to himself.

Based on previous investigations.

He already knew a lot about Lin Qingyi.

Lin Qingyi is not only highly accomplished in martial arts.

Despite his young age, he has already reached the level of a third-grade martial arts master.

What is truly extraordinary is the talent for immortality.

Lin Qingyi possesses a certain special quality in the path of immortality.

That's why the old prince took a liking to her and arranged for her to marry into the Qi Prince's mansion to bring him good fortune, making her the Qi Prince's consort. And all of this seems to be related to the old prince recognizing Lin Qingyi's special constitution.

Furthermore, Lin Qingyi's current opportunity to be favored by the mysterious being within the goddess statue of the Water Moon Sword Palace seems to be related to her special physique.

While thinking.

Jiangning has already swept over countless mountains and rivers, soaring freely across the sky and transforming into light and shadow that pierces the heavens.

After a while.

He then returned to Dongling City.

As dawn broke, the city of Dongling was shrouded in a thin mist drifting from the mountains.

It was hazy and indistinct, as if draped in a light veil.

at this time.

The morning sun pierced through the clouds behind the mountains and fell upon the ancient city below.

"The sun has risen!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Looking towards the distant east.

The golden dawn, like a sharp sword, pierced the heavens and earth, beginning to awaken this slumbering world.

"Indeed, after achieving the Yang God status, one is no longer afraid of the great sun!"

Feeling the faint warmth flowing through his body, he thought to himself.

Before he failed to achieve the Yang Shen (spirit of the gods).

The spirits of the underworld can only roam at night.

Once the sun rises, even just the morning sunlight, it can pose a great threat to the Yin spirits, causing waves of stinging pain, as if they are about to melt away.

Now he could only feel a faint warmth enveloping his whole body. He felt not the slightest discomfort, but rather a sense of comfort, as if he were basking in the sunlight.

He then smiled.

His fearlessness of sunlight further proves that he has now become a Yang God.

next moment.

With a swift movement, he streaked across the sky like a streak of light.

A moment later, he descended from the sky and instantly returned to his original form.

When he opened his eyes, a pair of small faces with blinking eyes appeared in front of him.

"Master, you're back?" Linglong tilted her head and looked at him.

He smiled and nodded, then reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Thank you very much!"

Upon hearing this, Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I'm relieved that my master is back!" She patted her mouth and then yawned.

Then he continued, "I'm going to go sleep with Ling'er!"

"Go ahead!" Jiang Ning patted her head.

After Linglong returned to her room.

He stood by the lake, his eyes slightly closed, his mind immediately sinking into his body.

Then, he saw the divine soul filled with pale gold in his spiritual platform.

At this moment, his spirit's hands and feet were clearly defined, and his entire body was filled with a faint golden light, with no trace of the dark blue color remaining.

The soul seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist, with golden clouds occasionally bursting up and leaping out like serpents, only to be drawn back together by an invisible force.

Looking at the spirit within his mind, he nodded in satisfaction.

Achieving the Yang God status means that his current spiritual power is no less than that of a second-grade Grandmaster.

Once he completes the final blood transfusion, reaching the second rank won't take him long.

"It won't be long before I reach the first rank!"

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of excitement.

Then, his mind flowed through his body as usual.

Suddenly, his heart tightened.

"This is!!!"

Seeing the changes in his dantian, he was momentarily stunned.

Within his dantian, the tender sprout, which was originally only three inches and one inch tall, suddenly shot up to five inches and seven inch, nearly doubling in height.

Unlike before, when there were only two tender green leaves, another leaf has grown, and now, at a height of over ten centimeters, there are three tender leaves.

However, the new leaf was different from the previous two; it was silver.

Bright silver.

As the silver leaf swayed slightly, he immediately saw ripples spreading outwards.

When his mind focused on this silvery tender leaf, he immediately sensed the meaning of the word "space".

"Is that so?!" His heart skipped a beat.

Thinking of what happened at the pulpit in the inner landscape of Shangyang.

"Could this tender leaf be the result of what I gained from listening to the sermon?" A thought flashed through his mind.

After a moment of contemplation, he noticed a small clump of soil beneath the three tender leaves.

It is the Breath of Earth!
He understood.

Inside the Shangyang interior, he ascended to the second level of the Sendai Heavenly Ladder, reaching the hundredth step.

When given the choice of one of the three rewards, he chose the Breath of Earth.

After making the choice, the Breath of Earth merged into his body and disappeared without a trace.

Beware of doubts in your heart, for they will find nothing when you search around you.

Only now do I understand that the Breath of Earth has entered my dantian and is nourishing my immortal root, allowing it to grow.

Subsequently.

He also noticed that a white, nurturing aura was swirling around the sapling, which was about ten centimeters tall.

It kept flying around the sapling.

It seems to possess a kind of spirituality.

As his mind drew closer, he immediately sensed the sharp edge of the white mist, giving him a feeling that it could penetrate everything.

The essence of metal!
A new idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"I see!" He understood at that moment.

What disappeared from Shangyang's inner vision actually came into his dantian.

Whether it is the essence of metal or the breath soil, it all belongs to him.

He could sense that he was unable to absorb the metal element at the moment.

"Perhaps my immortal root hasn't grown enough!" he thought to himself.

Based on the previous introduction to the Earth element in Sendai's Heavenly Ladder, he also basically understood the effects of the Metal element.

This peculiar object contains fragments of rules.

Absorption has the potential to condense into golden flowers.

Dao fruit, on the other hand, is a product of flowering.

When flowers bloom and fruits ripen, what is borne is the fruit of the Way.

This is the general path after the path to immortality.

Although no one is explaining the relevant knowledge of the Immortal Path to him in detail now.

However, based on what he has seen and heard, he has been able to deduce the subsequent paths related to the realm of immortality.

After examining his surroundings internally, he opened his eyes.

He glanced at Linglong and Zhongling's room again.

Even through a wall, he could hear the two women's steady breathing; clearly, Zhong Ling and Linglong had fallen asleep.

He then stretched his limbs for a long time and walked towards his house.

He pushed open his bedroom door.

He suddenly stopped walking.

"By the way! I wonder how much my energy points have increased?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately opened the panel.

[Source Energy]: 201333
"Two hundred thousand?"

Looking at the energy points on his panel, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"The inner realm of the Shangyang Immortal Sect is truly a wonderful place!"

Then a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

The existence of Yangchi enabled him to successfully achieve the status of Yang God.

The existence of the Sendai Heavenly Ladder tempered his spiritual power, making his spiritual body more solid and constantly transforming.

Even if the body cannot withstand the pressure on the Heavenly Ladder, the consequence is only that the color immediately returns, and there are no other hidden dangers.

Furthermore, upon reaching the hundredth step, one will receive a reward left behind by the Shangyang Immortal Sect as an incentive.

"The rewards for the two hundredth floor of the Sendai Heavenly Ladder will surely be even more generous!"

"However, according to Senior Brother Bai Li, one needs to reach the level of a Nascent Soul Immortal to ascend to the second hundredth floor."

The thought flashed through his mind. He closed the panel, stepped over the threshold, and entered his room.

A moment later, he lay down on the bed.

Upon entering the inner realm of Shangyang, he ascended the Heavenly Ladder of the Immortal Platform, which had 103 steps. The series of events that occurred along the way left him mentally exhausted.

Now, as soon as I lie down in bed, I instantly fall asleep.
