Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 690 The Yellow Heaven Sect Rebellion, the Birth of the Human Emperor Sword!
Nine Heavens Tower.

Standing upstairs, Jiang Ning watched Ji Mingyuan's figure slowly disappear into the distance.

"Xie Feiyan is his person! The vendors at the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion are also his people!" The thought flashed through his mind.

Upon seeing the face of the man standing next to Ji Mingyuan, he understood completely why Ji Mingyuan had suddenly changed his mind and come to see him in person.

Or was it a deliberate attempt to show such sincerity?

As a prince, he waited outside early in the morning, hoping to be noticed.

Just as his thoughts were racing, he saw Ji Mingyuan stop and turn to look at him.

She waved to him, a kind smile on her lips, and then turned and left again.

Then, only after Ji Mingyuan had completely disappeared at the end of the street did he turn his gaze away and close the window.

I picked up the ceramic jade bottle that had just been placed on the table; it was completely blank.

He looked down at the bottom of the bottle and saw the writing left on it.

Bodhi Mind-Enlightening Elixir.

Upon seeing these five words, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

If it had been a few days ago, before he came to the Dao Palace in the capital, he wouldn't have recognized what this elixir was.

However, after spending so many days in the Dao Palace's library, his knowledge was far beyond what it used to be.

Bodhi Mind-Enlightening Elixir.

It is a top-grade elixir originating from Buddhism.

It has the effect of enlightening, awakening wisdom, realizing one's true nature, and wiping away the dust from one's mind.

One dose of this pill will cleanse both body and mind.

It has the effect of enhancing comprehension, increasing wisdom, and improving natural talent.

As for the improvement in mental strength, that is only a side effect.

"This Fifth Prince is quite generous!" Jiang Ning exclaimed, looking at the emerald green and pale gold pill in his palm.

next moment.

He swallowed the pill in his palm in one gulp.

After completing this task.

He walked straight out of Jiuxiao Tower and checked out of the room.

Imperial Prefecture.

"Lord Jiang, you've arrived!" The young woman greeted Jiang Ning with utmost respect.

"Please inform the Imperial Preceptor that I wish to stay at his residence for a while!" Jiang Ning said.

After much thought, he realized that only the Imperial Preceptor's residence had enough space and facilities for him to practice his skills.

"Lord Jiang, please come in!" The young woman quickly stepped aside and continued, "The Imperial Advisor said that all your requests will be fulfilled unconditionally, without any need for reporting! Especially such a small matter! I'll prepare a courtyard for you in a moment!"

"Thank you very much, young lady!" Jiang Ning said.

"You're too kind, sir!" the girl said respectfully.

After a while.

An empty courtyard.

Looking up, one can see the lush branches of the ancient tree next door.

He swept his yard.

The courtyard was spacious, with few displays or decorations.

"This is the perfect place for me to practice my swordsmanship!" he thought to himself.

next moment.

A golden light flashed in his hand, and a long sword appeared in his grasp.

When the sword's momentum arises.

The sword light surged like a rolling tide in an instant.

In the open courtyard, he no longer needed to suppress his sword techniques and could practice swordsmanship at will.

In an instant, he felt himself enter a mysterious state.

My heart is like an ancient well, calm and undisturbed.

With a clear and tranquil mind, the many insights gained from the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword collided at this moment.

Each collision was accompanied by a flash of inspiration.

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +433]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +666]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +777]

【.】

now.

Each prompt that appears in front of you brings a huge boost to your experience points.

But at this moment he had no time to pay attention to that, having completely entered an incredibly mysterious state.

I do not know how long it has been.

The sudden physical exhaustion and mental depletion brought Jiang Ning back to his senses.

"call--"

He let out a long breath and then he felt the discomfort in his body.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword + (Seven Limit Breaks 8000/8000) (Traits: Sword Heart Clarity (Light Purple), Evil Extermination (Dark Green), Turning Misfortune into Good Fortune (Dark Blue), Seven Star Lamp (Light Purple))
His gaze swept across the panel, and upon seeing the changes on it, he was first secretly startled, then overjoyed.

"A single sword practice session brought the Seven Star Demon Subduing Sword to its perfect level. This must be due not only to the profound accumulation of inner realm techniques, but also to the effect of the pill Ji Mingyuan gave me!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he roughly understood why there had been such a significant improvement.

Just now, he entered a profound state of enlightenment.

In addition, there were countless times he practiced swordsmanship in the inner landscape and the insights he gained from contemplating it for a long time.

Then, the Bodhi Mind-Enlightening Pill given to him by Ji Mingyuan also acted as a catalyst.

Multiple factors combined to bring his Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword to a state of perfection.

Now, if he wanted to, he only needed to consume a portion of his source energy points to allow this sword technique to achieve another breakthrough.

But he only considered it for a moment before giving up the idea.

The last breakthrough of the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword consumed 10,000 source energy points.

According to established patterns and experience, when the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword breaks through to a new level, the energy points it consumes will no longer be 10,000, but 20,000.

With that in mind, his gaze swept over the energy points column on the panel.

[Source Energy]: 203377
Two hundred thousand energy points constitute his current accumulation.

The next breakthrough in the Vajra Indestructible Body will require a full 200,000 energy points.

Compared to this technique, all other priorities must take a backseat.

Because of his breakthrough in the Indestructible Vajra Body, he has a higher chance of completing the ninth blood transfusion and officially entering the realm of martial arts legend.

This feeling intensified the moment he met Ji Mingyuan.

Although he was unwilling to participate in the struggle among the princes for the throne and the dispute over who would succeed to the throne.

But he also found that sometimes, no matter how much you don't want to, it's hard to truly escape this vortex.

Just like him now, it's not just Ji Minghao who has this thought.

Today, the Fifth Prince Ji Mingyuan also came to visit, hoping to recruit him, win him over, and test his thoughts.

Many things, once they start, tend to escalate and become difficult to stop.

Ji Minghao and Ji Mingyuan have their eyes on him, so how could the other princes ignore him?

When embroiled in such disputes, one's own strength is the greatest asset, the asset that allows one to act as one pleases.

By now, he has already completed eight blood transfusions, and is fully prepared for the final one.

As he pondered this, he closed the panel.

Coming to his senses, he then noticed Su Qingying, who had been silently standing in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty!" Su Qingying finally spoke up when she saw Jiang Ning looking over.

"I'll be staying at the manor for a while now, is that alright?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Of course I don't mind! In fact, I'm quite happy!" Su Qingying smiled, seemingly in a good mood.

Then she added, "If Your Majesty wishes to sleep tonight, you may come to my room!"

"Of course!" Jiang Ning smiled.

In recent days, he has also discovered that sleeping on Su Qingying's bamboo bed not only provides a better rest, but also increases his energy points by several hundred points per night.

This number may not seem like much to him now, but it's all extra, obtained for free without any cost.

Subsequently.

He then seized some of the accumulated divine points from Su Qingying and arbitrarily added them to his own authority.

After doing this.

He took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined, muscular physique.

Although these muscles don't look exaggerated, you can feel the terrifying power they contain when he moves his arm.

After taking off his clothes, Jiang Ning went to the courtyard.

call--

He exhaled slowly.

He then assumed the posture corresponding to the Vajra Indestructible Body, and then mobilized the Qi and blood throughout his body.

In an instant, his blood and qi rushed through every inch of his skin.

All over my body, inside my skin, I suddenly felt as if millions of ants were crawling inside.

Along with the tingling sensation, he also felt waves of fine, continuous stinging pain.

After a while.

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

【.】

As time passed, the experience points of the Vajra Indestructible Body also began to increase anew.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Jiang Ning hasn't stepped out of the Imperial Preceptor's residence in days.

Every day is spent practicing, practicing the Vajra Indestructible Body, and increasing the progress of the Vajra Indestructible Body.

call--

He exhaled a long breath of stale air, and beads of sweat rolled down his body like raindrops.

"My lord, wipe your sweat!" The girl beside him saw Jiang Ning stop practicing and immediately ran over to hand him a towel that was wet with well water.

"Has anything happened in the city these days?" Jiang Ning asked, taking the towel.

"Reporting to you, sir, it's nothing serious. It's just that because the martial arts examination was postponed, some core members of powerful families held a few banquets and invited some prominent figures. The one with the most fame right now is Wan Jianyi!" the girl said.

Jiang Ning nodded, not at all surprised.

Wan Jianyi is the newly crowned number one on the Heavenly Ranking.

With the military examination just around the corner, he is naturally a prominent figure in the capital.

In the eyes of the world, Wan Jian is most likely already the champion of this year's martial arts competition.

The martial arts champion of the Great Xia Dynasty held a very special status.

It is held every three years, and a martial arts champion is awarded every three years.

Based on past experience, over 90% of the martial arts champions eventually attain important positions of the third rank or above.

They were all high-ranking officials with real power.

Furthermore, winning the title of Martial Arts Champion signifies unparalleled talent in martial arts.

Historically, 99% of martial arts champions eventually became masters of the third rank or higher.

Thirty percent of them have entered the realm of second-grade Grandmaster.

Among them are many who have reached the pinnacle of first-grade martial arts.

From any perspective, any martial arts champion would be a prominent figure for decades to come.

Therefore, it is natural for some people to make early contact with such individuals and show them goodwill.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Ning scanned his own panel.

[Skill]: Indestructible Vajra Body (4-time limit break 13766/50000) (Characteristics: Dragon Elephant Power (Dark Purple), Flawless Body (Dark Blue), Sixteen-Foot Golden Body (Light Purple))

After accumulating progress over the past few days, the experience points for the Vajra Indestructible Body have reached over 13,000.

As for the increase in strength brought about by his breakthrough to the Vajra Indestructible Body last time, he has never had the opportunity to verify it.

Especially his strength, which was greatly enhanced due to the transformation of his characteristics.

Compared to before, the force has increased many times over.

Although nowadays, the strength of force cannot be directly used to measure the strength of an individual.

But there is no doubt that it will have a great impact on the strength of the team.

With the increase in strength, coupled with the Vajra Indestructible Body that broke through limits four times, he believed that if he were to face Fang Daoquan, who was a half-step Grandmaster and whose spiritual power had undergone a transformation, he would be able to do so.

It's no longer as troublesome as before, requiring the activation of the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword to kill it.

With his current physical strength, he could kill him in just a few punches.

"Imperial Preceptor!" Just then, the young girl spoke respectfully.

Jiang Ning looked up and saw Su Qingying standing in front of him in a plain white dress.

"Xiaoying!" Jiang Ning greeted her with a smile.

Upon hearing this address, Su Qingying glanced down at her feet, then remained expressionless.

These days, she has come to understand the meaning of the word "small," but she doesn't care.

"Your Majesty!" Su Qingying said respectfully.

"Xiaoying, what brings you here? Have you recovered from your injuries?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm completely healed now!" Su Qingying nodded.

As soon as she finished speaking, she spoke again: "Your Majesty, it seems that something has happened to Luoshui!"

"Luoshui?!" Jiang Ning was taken aback at first, then his gaze sharpened.

"Yes!" Su Qingying nodded and continued, "The Observatory just sent me a message!"

"What happened?" Jiang Ning asked.

"I don't know yet!" Su Qingying shook her head.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning couldn't help but look towards the Luo River.

The scenes I had witnessed in Luoshui flashed through my mind.

"Could it be the white dragon stirring up trouble?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and then he shook his head secretly.

"That's impossible!"

"No matter how strong the White Dragon is, it is still just a great demon. Its strength is not as great as that of an ordinary second-grade grandmaster, so it is impossible for it to cause a stir in the Celestial Surveillance Bureau."

"Xiaoying, let me know if there's any more news about Luoshui New Land!" Jiang Ning looked up at Su Qingying and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Su Qingying replied respectfully.

Then, Jiang Ning walked to the side, scooped up some cool well water and drank several large mouthfuls, before continuing to work on improving his Undying Body experience.

A sudden incident occurred in Luoshui, although the specifics are still unknown.

But the sudden news made him instinctively feel that something was wrong.

Especially when he thought of the Human Emperor Sword inside the belly of the great demon Bai Chi, and the news that Zhao Yulong had told him before he came to the capital.

At that time, the people of the Yellow Heaven Sect gathered around the Chaoluo River.

If the place of convergence were not so far from Luoshui County, and even further from Dongling Prefecture, he would not have dared to leave his family in Dongling City and come to the capital alone.

"I hope it's not the Yellow Heaven Cult starting a rebellion!" he thought to himself, as various speculations began to form in his mind.

He then banished his distracting thoughts and devoted himself entirely to ascetic practice.

A blink of an eye.

Another few days passed.

On this day, news spread like wildfire throughout the capital.

The Yellow Heaven Sect has rebelled.

Huang Tian Dao Ren slew the great demon Bai Chi on the banks of the Luo River and found the Human Emperor Sword inside the demon's belly.

With the Emperor's Sword in hand, he is destined by Heaven.

Today, with constant natural disasters and man-made calamities, people are living in misery. The shifting of the Purple Star (a star in Chinese astrology) is a sign that the nation's fate is sealed, its destiny lost, and a change of dynasty is imminent.
The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the capital and the ears of all the city's residents.

For a moment, people were panicked.
