Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 687 First in Swordsmanship Talent
Shangyang Inner Landscape.

Hearing Shen Yueru's words, Jiang Ning was slightly surprised.

According to Shen Yueru, the old man of the Heavenly Secrets clearly calculated the time when she would enter the Shangyang Inner Realm.

And the timing was perfect.

Only in this way can Shen Yueru appear immediately after one enters the inner realm of Shangyang.

"Senior Sister is truly insightful!" Jiang Ning thought to herself, then smiled and said, "This time it was my fault!"

"Fine! I forgive you!" Shen Yueru waved her hand, looking carefree.

"Senior sister is so generous!" Jiang Ning didn't hold back her praise.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yueru smiled.

Then, looking at Jiang Ning with a serious expression, he said, "Junior brother, I must thank you for last time. Because of your help, I successfully achieved pure Yang spirit and entered the realm of Yang God!"

"Did Senior Sister succeed?" Jiang Ning asked.

“Not bad!” Shen Yueru nodded with a smile.

Then she continued, "Senior sister, I am now the current leader of the Crimson Radiance Winter!"

As they spoke, Jiang Ning suddenly saw a faint golden light appear on Shen Yueru's body.

This is clearly a symbol of a pure Yang spiritual body.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister!" Jiang Ning said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"I have to thank you, Junior Brother!" Shen Yueru looked at Jiang Ning with a beaming smile.

"Senior sister, you're too kind. You've helped me a lot!" Jiang Ning said sincerely.

The profound mystery of the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword came to mind.

The last time he activated the Taixu Yin Yang Sword at Zhixuan Mountain, he truly felt the terror of this sword technique.

It is now his strongest skill, a sword technique that allows him to defeat the strong with the weak.

This sword technique originated from Shen Yueru.

"Junior Brother Jiang, who do you mean?" Shen Yueru asked, a hint of confusion on her face.

"The Yin-Yang Sword of the Void!" Jiang Ning exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yueru's eyes lit up immediately.

"Junior brother can now activate this sword technique?"

"It can barely be activated!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"I never expected my junior brother to be a sword genius," Shen Yueru exclaimed in amazement.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head. He wanted to be modest, but then, thinking of the talent he had accumulated in swordsmanship, he changed his tone.

"Senior sister has discerning eyes; she was able to see at a glance that I am a sword genius."

"What Junior Brother Jiang said is really unexpected. I thought Junior Brother Jiang would be modest!" Shen Yueru said with a smile.

“Excessive humility is arrogance!” Jiang Ning said.

He knew that his current swordsmanship talent, even if not among the best in the world, was at least among the top tier.

With his current swordsmanship talent, he can now train the Taixu Yin Yang Sword many times more efficiently than before.

This also means that his swordsmanship talent has improved many times over compared to before.

"Junior brother, guess what level my Taixu Yin Yang Sword has reached now!" Shen Yueru looked at Jiang Ning with a smug expression and smiled.

“Senior Sister said before that she was at the proficiency level, but judging from her expression now, could it be that she has already reached the minor success level?” Jiang Ning asked.

“That’s right! I’ve already reached a minor level of mastery!” Shen Yue raised her chin slightly, revealing her snow-white swan neck and the sharp lines of her chin, without the slightest bit of excess fat.

"Senior Sister is truly amazing!" Jiang Ning praised, then added, "For Senior Sister to have mastered the Taixu Yin Yang Sword at such a young age, her swordsmanship talent must be terrifyingly high!"

"Fortunately, it was previously known as one of the top ten in the world," Shen Yueru said calmly.

Jiang Ning: "."

Immediately, Shen Yueru smiled and said, "Now, I should be the number one in the world."

"Number one in the world?" Jiang Ning was taken aback.

“Yes!” Shen Yueru nodded with a hint of pride: “I became the leader of the Crimson Radiance Cave Heaven and received full support. I refined a sword seed left over from ancient times. The sword seed took root, sprouted, and grew vigorously, which also improved my swordsmanship talent.”

"Sword Seed?" Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback upon hearing this term.

Connecting the dots, he suddenly understood.

"Senior Sister's immortal root has grown?"

"Junior brother actually knows about this too?" Shen Yueru's face showed surprise.

Jiang Ning nodded: "I have seen what the immortal roots look like after they grow. They cover the sky and the sun, with huge fruits hanging down."

"Junior Brother Jiang has actually met you before?" Shen Yueru's eyes widened in surprise.

“I’ve seen it in what appears to be an interior setting!” Jiang Ning nodded.

Then he asked, "Senior Sister, as a member of the immortal path and the leader of the Crimson Radiance Grotto-Heaven, could you tell me what this phenomenon is?"

Shen Yueru shook her head: "From my junior brother's description alone, it is difficult for me to imagine it accurately. I need my junior brother to merge with my soul and transmit that scene into my mind."

"Okay! Let's do as Senior Sister says." Jiang Ning nodded.

“Then Junior Brother Jiang, come with me!” Shen Yueru said, and took the initiative to walk forward.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning immediately followed in Shen Yueru's footsteps.

As the two continued forward, the scenery ahead changed frequently.

The building was dilapidated, the stone pillars had collapsed, the floor tiles were broken, and a terrifying crack ran across the ground in front of it, almost splitting it in two.

Then it transformed into a radiant display of light, with majestic buildings and an imposing presence.

Jiang Ning was already fully aware of this change.

This phenomenon has existed for a long time in the inner vision of Shangyang.

The inner world is also the spiritual world, and the spiritual world cannot be viewed through the eyes of the outside world.

Any unusual scenario is possible.

As he and Shen Yueru moved forward, the surrounding scenery constantly shifted and changed.

One moment it was radiant with light and the building was solemn; the next moment the walls were broken, the stone pillars collapsed, and terrifying cracks were everywhere.

After a while.

Then he saw Yangchi.

The water in the pool rippled, as if countless golden scales were rolling around.

Yangchi.

The two were in a pool of golden water, which covered their shoulders, leaving only their heads visible.

"Junior brother, close your eyes!" Shen Yueru said, and as she spoke, she had already closed her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning also closed his eyes.

"Junior brother, let's do it the same way as last time!" Shen Yueru's voice rang in Jiang Ning's ears again.

“Okay!” Jiang Ning replied.

Then, he felt Shen Yueru press against him.

Their brows touched, and their breaths mingled perfectly.

"Junior brother, let's fight hand to hand!" Shen Yueru's voice rang out again.

Jiang Ning then touched Shen Yueru's hands and feet.

As soon as he made contact, he felt that it was completely different from the last time.

Last time, Shen Yueru's hands and feet were extremely cold.

This time, Shen Yueru's hands and feet felt like warm jade, with a faint warmth flowing through them.

He understood that this was a change after his spiritual body became pure Yang.

Last time, Shen Yueru had not yet reached the Yang God realm, but was in the Yin God realm.

Therefore, the hands and feet are cold, like ice.

This time, having entered the realm of Yang God, he possesses a pure Yang nature, and his spiritual body no longer feels the slightest bit cold.

"Junior Brother has actually entered the Yang God Realm?!" Shen Yueru's voice suddenly rang in Jiang Ning's mind, her tone filled with surprise.

"Senior Sister has already stepped into the Yang God realm, so naturally I can't fall behind!" Jiang Ning's voice also echoed in Shen Yueru's mind.

"Junior brother is truly a genius in the immortal path, it's a pity he's not in my realm!" Shen Yueru sighed inwardly.

"Senior sister, could you please transmit the methods of immortal cultivation to me through your mind?" Jiang Ning asked.

"That's easy. Except for certain top-secret information that cannot be revealed due to a vow to Heaven, everything else is fine!" Shen Yueru's voice rang in Jiang Ning's mind again.

"Junior Brother Jiang, calm down!" Her voice flashed by.

Jiangnan immediately composed himself.

The next moment, he felt their minds completely intertwined, and information flooded into his mind like a torrent.

Jiang Ning immediately focused all his efforts on processing this flood of information.

Fetal breathing... Qi cultivation... Concentration... Yang spirit.

A series of realms related to immortality flashed through his mind.

Finally, all the information was digested by Jiang Ning.

"Junior brother, what follows is my insights and understanding of swordsmanship!" Shen Yueru's voice rang out once again.

All of a sudden.

Countless profound insights into the way of the sword resonated in Jiang Ning's mind.

Those insights seemed to have originally belonged to him, and he quickly digested and absorbed them.

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +676]

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +655]

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +663]

【…】

At the same time, notifications of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword's experience points increasing flashed past him rapidly.

a long time.

"Junior Brother Jiang, how are you feeling?" Shen Yueru's voice rang out.

"I've gained a lot!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

"Junior Brother Jiang's swordsmanship talent is indeed extraordinary; he can digest it so quickly!" Shen Yueru exclaimed in amazement, sensing the confidence in Jiang Ning's heart.

“Senior sister, it’s only fair to reciprocate, I also have some insights to share with you!” Jiang Ning’s voice rang out to Shen Yueru.

next moment.

Shen Yueru felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

She saw the blossoming of the Great Dao Flower, heard the celestial music, and witnessed golden lotuses emerging from the void.

I saw everything that Jiang Ning had seen on the pulpit last time.

Boom——

A moment later, her mind jolted, and her consciousness began to blur.

I don’t know how long it took.

"Senior sister!"

"Senior sister!"

"Senior Sister Shen!!"

"..."

Jiang Ning's voice rang out, and Shen Yueru's consciousness returned to normal from its blurry state.

"Senior Sister?" Jiang Ning sensed the change in Shen Yueru's mind and tentatively spoke in his mind again.

"Junior brother, your inheritance is terrifying! It must belong to a giant from the Shangyang Immortal Sect who condensed the Dao Fruit in the past!"

"A giant who has condensed the Dao Fruit?" Jiang Ning wondered to himself.

"Junior Brother Jiang, calm your mind!" Shen Yueru's voice rang out once again.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning calmed himself down and then received a message from Shen Yueru.

A moment later, he understood.

After embarking on the path of immortality, one condenses a Dao Fruit and gains extremely high control over the corresponding Dao, thus becoming a powerful figure.

“Junior brother, do you now understand what kind of person the one who preached to you that day was?” Shen Yueru asked.

"Understood!" The two communicated telepathically.

"Junior brother, also, the scene you just described, was transmitted to me through your mind!"

"Senior sister, watch carefully!" Jiang Ning thought to herself.

next moment.

On the lakeside shrouded in moonlight, behind a woman obscured by a hazy white mist, a giant osmanthus tree suddenly appeared from the void.

In an instant.

The illusory shadow of the osmanthus tree behind the woman created a visually striking effect, obscuring the sky and covering all vision.

On the osmanthus tree, fruits hung one after another.

"Sister?"

"Senior sister??"

"..."

With each call, Jiang Ning felt the connection being interrupted.

He opened his eyes and saw Shen Yueru panting heavily.

"Senior Sister Shen?" Jiang Ning asked.

Shen Yueru looked at Jiang Ning, and you could see that she still had lingering fear in her eyes.

“Junior Brother Jiang!” Shen Yueru looked up at Jiang Ning.

"Senior Sister Shen, what just happened?" he asked.

"Junior Brother Jiang, the scene you showed me was terrifying!" Shen Yueru said, recalling the scene from just now, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"Senior Sister Shen, what kind of terrifying technique is this?" Jiang Ning asked.

"That woman, in Junior Brother Jiang's image, was like a flower blooming in the mist, her face impossible to see clearly. Her strength is beyond that of a giant!" Shen Yueru said.

"What level is that?" Jiang Ning asked, his eyes filled with doubt.

“I don’t know!” Shen Yueru shook her head and continued, “Even in the Crimson Emperor Cave Heaven, there are no detailed records about this level. It is only briefly mentioned that it is a level where one’s thoughts and ideas are immortal and indestructible!”

"Based on my guess, this might be an existence at the Dao Ancestor level!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning looked surprised.

"Daozu?"

“Yes!” Shen Yueru nodded and continued, “The Dao Ancestor is an existence that can open up a spiritual world in the inner realm. He has completely mastered a Great Dao, is at the end of the Dao, and is not bound by the Heavenly Dao.”

"It is an existence that can be returned by someone who still remembers, still thinks about, and still recalls it!"

"It is something whose true appearance cannot be remembered!"

Jiang Ning was deeply shocked by Shen Yueru's words.

Based solely on Shen Yueru's description, he could imagine how terrifying this being was.

You can return simply by thinking about it.

This was completely beyond his comprehension!

He immediately understood why, after seeing her true appearance, he had indeed forgotten it as soon as he turned his head.

He didn't understand before, but he does now.

This is a characteristic of this existence.

The characteristic of being unable to remember one's appearance.

"Senior sister, according to your description, what level would this kind of person be in ancient times?" Jiang Ning asked.

"The first tier! A level where you can ignore the orders of the ancient Heavenly Court and live freely," Shen Yueru replied.

"I understand!" Jiang Ning nodded. "Thank you for your explanation, Senior Sister!"

"No need!" Shen Yueru shook her head and continued, "In the future, when you encounter similar beings, you must never act rashly! If you offend such a being, even the illusory may become real!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister!" Jiang Ning said.

He suddenly understood why, despite having seen her face several times before, he still couldn't remember it today, even with his memory.

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the panel.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Mastery 7373/20000)

Seeing the changes on the panel, he was immediately overjoyed.

The mere moment of spiritual communion brought him such a significant increase in experience points for the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

He immediately understood why Shen Yueru was so confident in saying that she had the best talent in swordsmanship.

As he observed the progress of the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword on her body, he realized that Shen Yueru's Taixu Yin-Yang Sword was not only at the minor completion stage, but was probably not far from the major completion stage.

Otherwise, how could it have brought him such great growth?

"The number one talent in swordsmanship, I wonder how much stronger he is than me?" The thought flashed through his mind once again.
