Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 700: The Method to Achieve Martial Sainthood!

After leaving the Martial Saint's Mansion, Jiang Ning slowly calmed his emotions.

He did not get the result he wanted on this trip.

Even Xiao Wuque did not receive a definite arrangement from the imperial court regarding the rise of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

But the results in this field have been remarkable.

Because he saw the Holy Spirit's body.

Furthermore, he obtained the method to achieve the status of a Martial Saint from the Martial Saint Spirit Body.

Break free from shackles and you will see the world for yourself.

These eight words were the guidance that the Martial Saint Spirit gave him before he left.

"Break free from shackles and see the world for yourself!" Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

His mind drifted back to his conversation with Xiao Wuque.

After Wu Shengling saw him leave, Xiao Wuque seemed to have received some kind of entrustment and said a lot to him.

On the hurdle of becoming a Martial Saint.

Strengthen the skin, flesh, muscles, and bones; train the body externally and invigorate the internal organs internally.

All of this is laying the foundation.

To take that final step and become as good as his teacher, one needs to build a near-perfect foundation.

The stronger the foundation, the simpler this final step becomes.

And this final step was just as his teacher had said.

Break free from shackles and you will see the world for yourself.

When Jiang Ning asked what it meant to break free of shackles and what kind of world he would see.

Xiao Wuque could only shake his head and tell him.

His teacher hadn't explained it to him in much detail before.

I just told him that he had to overcome this hurdle on his own.

Once you understand, know how, and do it, you've overcome this hurdle.

The more you talk and the more you know, the more likely you are to go astray and fall into mental traps.

After the conversation, Jiang Ning had no choice but to keep this information to himself.

I will wait until I reach that point in the future and use it as a guide.

Having embarked on the path of martial arts, becoming a martial saint is his current goal.

Or rather, if there is still a road ahead, then his goal is far more than this; becoming a martial saint is just his starting point.

……

the other side.

With the departure of Wu Sheng Shen and Jiang Ning, only Xiao Wu Que and the blind old man remained in the front hall.

"What a pity!" Xiao Wuque suddenly sighed.

"What's a pity?" the blind old man asked.

“It’s a pity that the teacher doesn’t have time to teach him now, otherwise, with his talent, he would have a better chance of catching up with the teacher than I do in the future!” Xiao Wuque said.

"Not necessarily!" The blind old man slowly shook his head, then picked up his teacup and took a sip of the scalding hot tea.

"Does Senior have any unique insights?" Xiao Wuque asked.

“Some paths may not be replicable, and it’s more likely that you can find your own way! If his path could be replicated, it wouldn’t have stopped with just one such individual over the past eight hundred years!” the blind old man said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuque frowned.

"My teacher and I discussed this issue of seniors before."

"What was the result?" the blind old man asked.

"No result!" Xiao Wuque shook his head and continued, "The path our teacher took was the right one, and following the right path is the way to success. Just like the path of martial arts, if we had followed the original way of cultivation, there would be 90% fewer grandmasters than there are now!"

"Perhaps!" the blind old man said calmly, "but I see something unusual in him!"

"Does the senior think he can catch up with his teacher even without any guidance?" Xiao Wuque asked.

Upon hearing this, the blind old man suddenly smiled: "We'll see! You and I will eventually have the chance to see his future!"

“That makes sense!” Xiao Wuque nodded in agreement.

……

Imperial Prefecture.

A quiet courtyard.

Jiang Ning changed into loose clothing and stood under the tree.

A gentle breeze blew by, stirring up a few fallen leaves.

The Lingtai Cave illuminates the true self!
He slowly closed his eyes, and began to recall the relevant key points in his mind.

After nine blood exchanges, he has reached the complete perfection of the third-grade blood exchange realm. Now, his only goal is to advance to the second-grade grandmaster realm.

To reach the level of a second-grade Grandmaster, the normal way is to temper one's spirit with the true meaning of martial arts.

It allows the spirit to be transformed.

Just like a disorganized mob transformed into well-trained, thoughtful, and well-led elite soldiers.

Once the transformation is complete, although the quantity remains the same, the quality undergoes a dramatic transformation.

The same intensity can unleash several times, or even ten times, more power.

Therefore, a second-rank Grandmaster can exert a pressure that is almost tangible simply through mental pressure.

Even top masters cannot ignore this kind of pressure; they will be greatly affected by it.

This effect is not just a sense of fear, but also a complete restriction on speed and power.

If the difference in strength is too great, the mental pressure alone is enough to take a life.

Moreover, the transformed spirit can resonate with heaven and earth, unleashing an even more powerful martial arts essence.

At that moment, Shen Wenyuan's attack flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

At that time in Baisha County, Shen Wenyuan achieved the status of a grandmaster by embodying the concept of the four seasons returning to their origin.

With the intent of Summer Thunder, his spirit resonated with heaven and earth, and he directly unleashed a thunderous descent, instantly drying up the blood pool.

"My path is somewhat different from theirs; I seek within rather than without," Jiang Ning thought to himself, the thought flashing through his mind.

After pondering for a long time, I reviewed the Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method.

He opened his eyes again.

With a wave of his hand, accompanied by a flash of golden light, an unknown animal hide scroll appeared in his hand.

【The Dharma of Illuminating the True Self in Lingtai Cave】

Seven large characters stood out prominently on the animal skin scroll.

Jiang Ning's gaze slowly swept over them.

It took him the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to read those few thousand words.

Then, he once again put the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method into his pocket.

Her eyes closed again.

next moment.

The space of the brow and heart.

The golden, divine figure suddenly closed its eyes and sat cross-legged in the void where there was nothingness above, below, left, and right.

The already bright radiance between his brows now shone even brighter.

"The primary condition for practicing the Lingtai Dongzhao Zhenwo Fa is to absorb the true spirit imprint into the body."

"No wonder the Martial Saint said before that this method was just right for his lineage!"

Jiang Ning sensed the changes within himself, and a thought flashed through his mind.

next moment.

Moonlight suddenly rose from the previously illusory spiritual space.

Suddenly, light appeared in the darkness.

Then, the moonlight faded, and a bright sun rose.

The world was thus illuminated.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was also recalling the core concepts of the Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method.

All things in heaven and earth are illusory, false, and fleeting in their brilliance.

Only by being alone can one be real, true, and eternal.

Subsequently, earth, wind, fire, and water appeared in the spiritual platform, and all things in heaven and earth took shape, with the changing seasons of spring, summer, and winter.

Celestial bodies combine and transform into stars.

The stars then transformed into fireworks, then into a blazing sun, before returning to nothingness and extinction.

Amidst the constantly flashing, chaotic images.

Everything will return to nothingness and oblivion, except for that golden phantom radiating dazzling light between his brows, which will remain an eternal and unique existence.

As time goes by, the experience points of the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method continue to increase.

At the same time, the experience points for this skill will occasionally show a notification that they are increasing.

After what seemed like an eternity, he slowly opened his eyes when he felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows.

“It really works!!”

He rubbed his temples, muttering to himself.

Then he looked at his own control panel.

[Skill]: Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method (Entry-level 347/1000)

"Truly domineering!!"

Seeing the prompt on the panel, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method, a seemingly miraculous method, is still included in his panel.

As long as his work is included in the panel, his efforts will surely be rewarded.

Through his efforts, he can enable the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method to quickly achieve a breakthrough, ultimately reaching the perfect level, or even surpassing the perfect level.

In his view, these steps wouldn't take too long.

Judging from the experience points required for the first breakthrough, the Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method is an internal alchemy health cultivation exercise, similar to the Vajra Indestructible Body and other similar techniques.

The experience points required for this level of skill are not particularly excessive, especially for him now.

His current mental strength has far surpassed the level of a third-grade grandmaster and has already reached a level comparable to that of some second-grade grandmasters.

And this was before their mental strength had undergone a transformation and improvement.

From this point of view, it is clear that the accumulation of his essence and strength is already incredibly profound, far exceeding the scope of what people can understand.

Therefore, he had long known that the second-grade Grandmaster level wouldn't hold him back for long.

His past accumulations will become the resources for his current soaring success.

It was precisely for this reason that his first improvement in practicing the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method was not achieved through gradual accumulation and improvement.

Instead, it represents a leapfrog and rapid improvement.

"I wonder if efficiency will be further improved once we enter the interior."

Thinking of this, he was immediately filled with motivation and got up.

Based on his previous understanding, the biggest effect of the inner landscape was to act as a cultivation accelerator.

It has a mysterious effect of dreaming for eternity.

It has an unparalleled effect on the growth of mental strength.

After a while.

He arrived at the bamboo grove where Su Qingying was.

He walked through the bamboo leaves and arrived at the bamboo house.

Climb the steps and enter the bamboo house.

"Your Majesty!" Su Qingying sat cross-legged on the jade bamboo bed, opening her eyes to look at Jiang Ning.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" As soon as she opened her eyes, she noticed that Jiang Ning's spiritual power was weak.

“I need to get some sleep!” Jiang Ning said.

Another moment passed.

Jiang Ning lay fully clothed on the jade bamboo bed, while Su Qingying stood barefoot below.

Seeing that Jiang Ning had fallen into a deep sleep, she tiptoed out of the room.

In sleep.

Jiang Ning felt extremely exhausted, his consciousness sinking endlessly.

suddenly.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

In the distance lay a tranquil lake illuminated by the moonlight.

She saw a woman in a plain white dress standing with her back to her by the lake, her long, black hair cascading down to her waist.

"Senior?" Jiang Ning asked slowly.

As the sound rang out, the woman in the seamless white dress slowly turned around.

When half of her profile and delicate nose came into view, Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with amazement once again.

No matter how many times he saw that profile, he felt that it was a face that no mortal could possess.

Memories that had vanished from his mind returned at this moment, and he once again recalled the face of this woman who resembled a fairy from the moon palace.

Memories that had been forgotten due to some force surged back at this moment.

In an instant, he clearly remembered the woman's face.

"Long time no see!" the woman greeted Jiang Ning, her voice ethereal and devoid of any worldly warmth.

"Senior, am I dreaming?" Jiang Ning asked.

"What do you think?" the woman said calmly.

“I think so!” Jiang Ning nodded, then continued, “I was mentally exhausted just now, so I went to sleep! I must be dreaming to see you now, senior.”

As he spoke, Jiang Ning strode over, his gaze calm.

"Unfortunately, you've misjudged the situation!" the woman said calmly.

She remained unmoved as Jiang Ning approached, and continued, "I brought you here from thousands of miles away because I need you to complete her final step!"

at the same time.

Imperial Prefecture.

Su Qingying flashed and appeared in her room.

"Disappeared!!!"

She looked at the empty jade bamboo bed in the room, and an incredulous look flashed in her eyes.

"They still disappeared amidst the overwhelming array!!"

Her expression immediately became extremely serious, and then she scanned her surroundings.

But no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't figure it out.

Without any disturbance or trace, it simply vanished from her house.

"What kind of method is this?!" Su Qingying was filled with doubts, her brows furrowed.

Moon Lake Scenic Area.

The woman looked up at the bright moon in the sky above the lake.

Originally, there was only the figure of a petite woman in the bright moon, but now there is also the figure of a tall man.

"Yin alone cannot grow, Yang alone cannot produce; only through the fusion of Yin and Yang can creation be achieved!" The woman's ethereal voice echoed by the lake, and then she added, "I hope she can forge a different path!"

Under the bright moon.

"Why are you here?" Lin Qingyi was taken aback when she saw Jiang Ning, then quickly closed her eyes and asked, "Why are you naked?"

“Sister Lin, you are too!” Jiang Ning said without any hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyi suddenly opened her eyes and met Jiang Ning's intense gaze.

She looked down and immediately hugged her chest. Just as she was about to speak, the voice of the woman by the lake rang in their ears.

"You two are so slow!"

The words fell.

Jiang Ning felt his blood and qi surge, his desire soared, and his eyes instantly became extremely aggressive.

Lin Qingyi, who was standing close by, also blushed, her eyes sparkling with desire.

"Sister Lin, I can't hold back anymore!" Jiang Ning's hand suddenly landed on Lin Qingyi's shoulder, his palm burning hot.

At this moment, he understood that this was neither an illusion nor a dream.

Instead, it was the mysterious woman below who used her powers to bring him here from the capital city thousands of miles away.

"Then let's not hold back!" Lin Qingyi opened her arms, her expression relieved.

After a while.

The woman by the lake looked up at the bright moon overhead and saw two people pressed tightly together in its light.

"So this is the way of yin and yang in harmony, this is the joy of love between men and women!"

After looking for a while longer, she looked away somewhat uncomfortably and silently gazed at the calm lake in front of her.

But the mirror-like lake also clearly reflects the bright moon overhead.

The moonlight reflected the silhouettes of the two people intertwined.
