Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

King's capital.

The residence of the Marquis of Dongling.

As the sun slowly set in the west, boxes of resources flowed into Jiangning.

[Source point +0.4]

[Source point +0.2]

[Source point +1.1]

【.】

As he refined each ore and each rare and precious herb, a notification of the increase in source points appeared before him.

When Jiang Ning swallowed the last Ganoderma lucidum and refined it in an instant, he slowly finished his practice and then looked at the panel.

[Source Point]: 181.3
The total number of source points reached a staggering 181.3.
"enough!"

Looking at the numbers in the Energy Points column, Jiang Ning's eyes instantly lit up with a dazzling light.

The next breakthrough in the Vajra Indestructible Body and Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique requires one hundred Source Points.

The number of source points has now reached nearly two hundred.

This is enough to allow one of these two techniques to achieve a breakthrough.

This means his abilities can be further improved.

The battle with the head of the Eighteen Dragon Heads made him realize that his current strength was not enough.

The mere fact that a mere leader who had recently entered the first rank made him feel the pressure meant that he dared not underestimate the other first-rank martial artists.

next moment.

His gaze fell on the skills section, specifically on the Vajra Indestructible Body and the Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise.

He hesitated for only a moment, but had already made up his mind.

To enhance combat power, there is no doubt that the Vajra Indestructible Body has a greater impact on strength than the Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique.

Then, he looked at the skills section on the panel and then at the Vajra Indestructible Body technique.

With a thought in his mind.

The source points on the panel decreased by one hundred points instantly.

Almost at the same moment.

Rumble!!

A roar reverberated within him, as if thousands of thunderbolts were exploding simultaneously.

In an instant, the pale golden patterns around him suddenly lit up, and the golden light shone brightly, making him look as if he were cast in gold, like a god.

A terrifying surge of blood energy, more powerful and domineering than before, erupted from his body, transforming into a visible plume of crimson-gold blood energy smoke that shot straight into the sky.

The next moment, they were suddenly locked in the courtyard.

Click click
A booming sound reverberated within his body, the stone slab beneath him shattered inch by inch, and the flowers and plants within several feet around him were pressed flat against the ground by the invisible shockwave.

His clothes were torn to shreds, turning into rags that flew everywhere.

The muscles, which were originally perfectly streamlined and full of power, now swelled and contracted slightly again.

It becomes more harmonious and denser.

The skin has a smooth, jade-like texture that is also incredibly strong, with a subtle golden sheen flowing beneath it.

The bones inside the body emitted a roar like the cries of dragons and tigers, becoming even harder and denser.

At this moment, the most noticeable change comes from his spine.

The great dragon of the spine seemed to have fully awakened, with each vertebra imprinted with complex and ancient golden runes, forming a mysterious pattern that seemed to carry some kind of power of heaven and earth.

A profound sense of spirituality, originating from the very source of life and supporting the universe, spread from his spine throughout his entire body.

His body became increasingly upright, and the rolling of his spine could be seen on his back.

All sorts of changes come and go quickly.

In just a moment, all the commotion subsided into silence.

The courtyard has been restored to its previous state.

It all seemed like a dream.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

[Skill]: Vajra Indestructible Body (Seven Limit Breaks 21377/80000) (Traits: Dragon Elephant Power (Light Gold) Buzhou Spine (Light Gold))

【Buzhou Spine (Light Gold)】: The body is like the heavens, the spine is like a pillar of heaven. If the pillar of heaven is not injured, the golden body will not be broken.

"Uneven spine." Jiang Ning muttered to himself as he looked at his panel.

Then, he closed his eyes slightly and instantly felt the spine running through his body.

At this moment, the spine is like a pillar of heaven, becoming the core of the body's stability, twisting all the body's strength together and coordinating its movement. The upper limit of the body's endurance has also been raised to a new level because of the existence of this spine.

"It's about a fundamental improvement to the human body!" He opened his eyes, the thought flashing through his mind.

This characteristic, while not as fully realized as some others, is not as prominent.

This trait wasn't very obvious, but he could sense that its improvement was a fundamental enhancement to his physical body and would have a profound impact on his future path.

He stretched his body and then gently clenched his fist.

boom!
The air was squeezed and exploded, producing a sonic boom.

He could clearly feel that the power emanating from his hands had made considerable progress.

"With my current physique, if I were to fight the Dragon Head again, I would surely be able to suppress him within ten moves!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Feeling the strength of his physique now, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"If I continue to progress at this rate, I may soon have the strength to conquer the world."

Then, he closed his eyes slightly, focused his mind on his body, and looked inward at his spiritual platform.

In the mind.

The Dao Embryo, enveloped in Yin-Yang Mystic Light, was now shining even brighter.

"These three drops of three-thousand-year-old spiritual essence have shortened the time it takes for the primordial spirit to mature!" He muttered to himself as he looked at the increasingly dazzling Yin-Yang Profound Light Dao Embryo in his spiritual platform.

Thinking that in three to five days, his Dao Embryo would break through and his Primordial Spirit would be born, giving him a superior Immortal Foundation and allowing his strength to greatly improve, he couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

For the past three days, the capital has been unusually calm.

The morning assembly still has not started.

The current King, who is also the Regent, remains in seclusion and has not yet appeared in public.

The residence of the Marquis of Dongling.

The sun hangs high in the sky.

Jiang Ning stood beneath an ancient pine tree in the east courtyard, holding a long sword in his hand, sweat dripping from his forehead, before slowly exhaling a breath of stale air.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Perfect 5327/100000)

He glanced at the panel and slowly closed it.

These past few days, he has been quietly waiting for his primordial spirit to emerge from his womb while practicing the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

However, because the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword is too profound and obscure, using the sword to enter the Dao, and the Dao refers to Yin and Yang and space, his progress is slow.

In three days, I barely managed to gain 5,000 experience points.

At this rate of efficiency, it will still take two months for this technique to reach its first breakthrough.

"If the primordial spirit breaks free from its embryonic state, comprehension will greatly increase, the speed of thought will be faster, and efficiency may be even higher!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Then, he frowned and looked at the street outside the mansion.

Even though he was in the East Courtyard, he could still hear the unusual commotion outside the mansion.

And this noise has been going on since early morning without stopping.

He frowned, then his lips moved slightly.

It only lasted a moment.

Green Ripple appeared in his courtyard.

"Greetings, Lord Marquis!" Upon entering the courtyard, Lüyi bowed respectfully to Jiang Ning.

"What's going on outside?" Jiang Ning asked.

"My lord, I am unaware of this. Shall I go out and inquire about the situation?" said Lüyi.

Jiang Ning nodded. After Lü Yi left, he picked up an ordinary longsword and began practicing the Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword technique again.

With a ripple of sword light, countless sword lights spread out like waves, rolling like a tide.

The surrounding darkness and light began to intertwine.

The courtyard was sometimes as bright as day, and sometimes as dark as night.

The void distorted before him, reflecting figures and sword shadows.

In an instant, endless killing intent filled every corner of the courtyard.

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +23]

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +22]

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +25]

【…】

Seeing the prompts appearing in front of him, he remained completely unmoved.

While the efficiency isn't high, it's still above the minimum efficiency for gaining experience points.

Compared to before, there has undoubtedly been some progress.

A moment later.

Luyi hurriedly returned to the East Courtyard.

Jiang Ning sheathed his sword and stood still.

"My lord, I have found out the details. The reason why the capital is so noisy today is that the once-every-ten-years delegation from the Demon Kingdom has arrived outside the city and is making its way through the streets and alleys to the Honglu Temple to stay. I heard that this delegation from the Demon Kingdom is very large, with not only many demon envoys, but also many rare and exotic beasts and tributes, which has attracted crowds of people to watch, hence the commotion."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's eyebrows twitched slightly: "An envoy from the Demon Kingdom?"

Bai Li's image instantly flashed into his mind.

Inside the Shangyang Immortal Sect, Bai Li revealed that she came from Qingqiu and the Demon Kingdom.

To the south, beyond the Great Xia, lies a demon kingdom.

But he knew very little about this demon kingdom.

"It shouldn't be from the same realm as me, after all, there are nine realms beyond this world. There are heavens beyond heavens, and the so-called demon kingdom may be in other realms!"

He secretly thought.

But this also piqued my interest.

He himself kept two demons at home, but he rarely saw them.

At that moment, his gaze unconsciously drifted to the center of the lake in his courtyard.

In the lake water, a rainbow of light moves, and that is Linglong.

Since the whole family moved into his mansion, Linglong and Laobie naturally lived in his courtyard.

Their former mission is no longer necessary.

With him around and Su Qingying next door, the safety of their family members no longer needs to be protected by Linglong and Lao Bie.

Moreover, when faced with a real threat, Linglong and Laobie's strength is no longer sufficient.

His gaze swept over Linglong in the lake and the old turtle on the shore, then he put down his long sword, turned and walked out of the courtyard: "I'm going out to take a look."

Seeing this, Lüyi quickly followed.

……

Stepping out of their own residence, the once deserted streets were now bustling with people, all running in one direction.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning followed the direction of the crowd.

When you reach the main street of the capital, Zhuque Avenue, it is already packed with people and bustling with noise.

The windows of the pavilions on both sides were all open, and they were crowded with curious commoners and the families of the powerful and wealthy who were looking around.

In the middle of the avenue, a large procession was slowly moving forward.

At the head of the procession were dozens of Great Xia Imperial Guards clad in black armor, exuding a chilling aura, followed by the Demon Kingdom delegation.

The members of the delegation had different appearances, but most of them retained some characteristics of the demon race.

They may have fuzzy ear tips, unusual eye color, or a long, fluffy tail hanging down behind them.

Their clothing was bold and exuded exotic charm.

In the middle of the procession, several strange beasts, each over ten feet tall, pulled a magnificent carriage adorned with jewels and feathers.

The strange beasts resembled giant lions, but had dragon horns, their bodies covered in green scales, and their steps were steady. The ground trembled slightly wherever they passed, causing the onlookers to gasp in hushed tones.

Inside the carriage was a woman whose face was covered with a silver silk veil.

The woman sat sideways on the ground, wearing a long silver-threaded dress.

Her long skirt spread out like a flowing Milky Way.

Her silver hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, with a few strands escaping from the edge of her face mask and fluttering gently in the wind.

Although her face was half-hidden, her icy blue eyes, which were revealed, were as clear as a cold pool, and the slight upturn at the corners of her eyes naturally gave her a cool yet alluring charm.

A few strands of silver fur peeked out from behind the hem of the skirt.

"My lord, the lady in the carriage is said to be a daughter of the royal family of the Demon Kingdom. The reason why the capital is so lively today is because of everyone's curiosity."

Jiang Ning looked at the woman in the carriage and nodded.

The woman in the carriage, though her face was covered by a silver scarf, gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

at the same time.

The woman in the carriage seemed to sense something; her icy blue eyes shifted slightly, landing precisely in the direction of Jiang Ning.

The instant their eyes met across the distance.

A faint hint of surprise flashed across the silver-haired woman's eyes as she sat in the carriage, before she regained her composure.

The carriages did not stop, and the procession continued slowly toward the Honglu Temple.

At that moment, Jiang Ning's gaze had already fallen on a middle-aged, sinister-looking man beside the carriage.

The sinister-looking man was dressed in a long black robe, with a face like a stork and was unusually thin.

But it gave him a subtle sense of oppression.

He did not believe that this feeling was a figment of his imagination.

Once you reach this point, no feeling arises out of nowhere.

"This demon must be extremely powerful!" he thought to himself.

Just then, the sinister-looking man in the black robe glanced indifferently at Jiang Ning.

His eyes flashed like lightning, like golden light exploding in the darkness.

Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened slightly as he caught a glint of golden light flashing in the sinister man's eyes.

At this moment, the sinister-looking man in the black robe also paused his gaze on Jiang Ning, giving him another look.

Then, as the carriage slowly moved forward, the man withdrew his gaze.

Jiang Ning stood still, watching the convoy disappear into the distance, lost in thought.

At this moment, the sudden arrival of the demon kingdom's delegation stirred up a few thoughts in his mind.

The Martial Saint has not appeared for many years, and has only made two moves recently, but these were merely to intimidate the world; his true form has not yet been revealed.

With Emperor Changning's fate unknown, the Great Xia court is now being managed by Princess Xuan, who is on par with him.

The entire Great Xia gave him a feeling that a storm was brewing.

the other side.

"Princess! Since entering the city, we have encountered the first powerful figure!" The sinister-looking man in a black robe spoke softly, his voice ringing in the ears of the silver-haired woman in the carriage.

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired woman turned her icy blue eyes to the right side of the carriage, looking at the middle-aged man in the black robe, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She knew the strength of her elder, who was a demon king whose true form was a three-headed golden crow, extremely ferocious. Although his bloodline was not pure, it still possessed the bloodline of the ferocious golden crow.

Demon kings with such bloodlines are even stronger than ordinary demon kings.

This trip to the capital was also a special stunt to awaken this being and have him accompany me to the capital to investigate the truth.

The current state of that Martial Saint is of great importance not only to various forces in the Great Xia Dynasty, but also to the Demon Kingdom.

Back then, that Martial Saint also made a trip to the Demon Kingdom.

They truly witnessed the terror of the Martial Saint.

"With Uncle Hei's strength, there aren't many in the thirty-six prefectures of the Great Xia Nine Provinces who can be called a strongman by Uncle Hei! How could such a strongman suddenly appear?" The silver-haired woman transmitted her voice to the sinister middle-aged man beside the carriage.

"There are always people more powerful than you, and heavens beyond heavens. It's not surprising! Back then, no one could have imagined that such a powerful being would emerge from this world!" said the sinister-looking man with a stork-like face. (End of Chapter)
