Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Climb the ladder to heaven.

The two of them came to the ladder to heaven once again.

A ladder to the sky stretched out into the air and disappeared into the clouds.

"Junior brother, I'll go ahead this time!" Shen Yueru said.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

next moment.

Shen Yueru stepped onto the stairs, her figure light and graceful, climbing upwards as if walking on an ordinary stairwell, without experiencing any pressure.

In just a moment, Shen Yueru's figure disappeared into the clouds and mist.

"Senior Sister's progress is indeed rapid! It seems that the leader of the Crimson Radiance Cave Heaven represents a more important significance than I understood!" he thought to himself.

After several meetings, he could clearly feel that Shen Yueru was making rapid progress.

He even had the feeling that Shen Yueru's progress was no less than his own.

"The ancient grotto-heavens should not be underestimated!" The thought flashed through his mind.

He could glimpse the power of the Crimson Emperor Cave Heaven from Shen Yueru alone.

If Shen Yueru can improve so rapidly, how could the Crimson Radiance Cave Heaven be weak?

next moment.

He also stepped onto the first level of the heavenly ladder.

boom--

He suddenly felt a mental pressure descend upon him from above.

Although the pressure was strong, it felt like a gentle breeze to him now, posing no threat whatsoever.

"I've indeed improved quite a bit over the past month. This place is a good place to measure my mental strength." The thought flashed through his mind.

He knew the standards of the test here from his previous visit.

Reaching the hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder signifies strength comparable to a Yang God.

The last time he climbed the Heavenly Ladder was two months ago, and he had already reached this level then.

Now, two months have passed, and he is very curious about what level his mental strength has reached.

This place will allow him to have a clear understanding.

Compared to that, he doesn't care much about those rewards now.

soon.

His figure disappeared into the clouds.

He climbed the ladder to heaven and continued onward, feeling much more relaxed than before.

The mental pressure that descended upon him could not shake him in the slightest, nor could it hinder his progress in the slightest.

In just a moment, he saw the cloud barrier in front of him with crystal clarity.

That is the threshold for stepping onto the hundredth step.

Two months ago, when I arrived here, it was already quite an achievement to see the waterfall-like barrier of clouds and mist.

But now he handles it with ease.

Even reaching the last ten steps of the first floor didn't put much pressure on him.

He took a few steps and arrived in front of the cloud and mist barrier that resembled a waterfall.

He took another step forward.

Then, passing through the barrier of clouds and mist, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

There was a platform several tens of square meters in size under my feet.

Above the platform, there is a new level.

The steps extend upwards, disappearing again into the clouds.

"Even Senior Sister can't see her anymore!" Jiang Ning was slightly startled, knowing that Shen Yueru had already entered a higher heavenly ladder.

"The two hundredth step requires a mental strength comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Immortal, symbolizing the potential to become an immortal. I wonder how many points I am still lacking?" The thought crossed his mind, but his feet kept moving.

We arrived at the first step of the second floor.

He took the first step without hesitation.

Boom——

A deafening roar echoed through the void, and he felt an extremely powerful spiritual pressure descend upon him.

He only felt a sinking sensation.

"Not bad, looks like this is far from my limit!"

With that in mind, he decided not to waste any more time.

Get your spirits up and start walking.

Gradually, his pace slowed, and he felt the mental pressure falling on him increasing.

He silently closed his eyes, and as the intensity increased, he paused for a moment after each step.

Without an audience, he remained unmoved.

For him, this path was a path to self-discovery.

With each step he took, he could feel the mental pressure descending upon him, like an iron hammer striking him, repeatedly forging out the impurities within his body.

150. 153. 157
The higher he went, the more immense the pressure he felt, gradually growing as vast as mountains and seas.

"Junior brother!!!" A surprised voice suddenly came from above.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes and saw Shen Yueru wearing a red dress. At this moment, Shen Yueru was holding a long sword, and her long hair was completely loose.

This means that Shen Yue is now in a different state.

Because of the interior scenery here, both of them are spiritual beings.

External changes are a reflection of one's inner spirit.

Shen Yue is clearly in a serious and focused state at this moment.

"Senior sister, I'm catching up with you!" Jiang Ning said with a light laugh.

"Junior brother is really amazing!" Shen Yueru smiled, then raised her chin slightly: "But I can't let junior brother catch up with me, otherwise how can I be a senior sister?"

After saying this, Shen Yueru turned around and took a firm step forward.

Jiang Ning glanced at her and immediately knew which level Shen Yueru was at.

That was on the 181st floor.

This also indicates that Shen Yueru is about to catch up with the Yuan Shen Immortal in terms of mental strength.

"It seems everyone has their own destiny!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

He was neither jealous nor envious.

Because he clearly knows just how much potential he has.

In a sense, he is only just getting started.

He then strode confidently up to the 161st floor.

Boom! !
With a deafening roar in the void, his figure swayed slightly before regaining his balance.

After holding his breath for two breaths, he took another step.

Boom! !
Another booming sound came from above, and his body swayed again.

He steadied himself and continued climbing.

After a while.

Shen Yueru felt the approaching footsteps behind her and quickened her pace.

One hundred and eighty-seven, one hundred and eighty-eight.

When Shen Yueru reached the 188th floor, her figure was impacted by a powerful force and turned into countless red lights that scattered.

"Junior brother, keep it up!!" Only a few wisps of voices remained, lingering in the air.

Jiang Ning smiled and continued climbing.

He needs to have a general idea of ​​his mental strength level.

187.

He landed in one step.

boom--

A deafening roar erupted overhead, and an oppressive force descended like mountains and seas, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.

It took him two breaths to process the oppressive aura, and his eyes became even brighter.

Step by step, through repeated trials and tribulations, he felt as if his entire body was made of crystal.

His eyes were bright, and his whole body seemed to radiate spiritual light.

We're not far from the limit!

He looked at the partition that was faintly visible in the clouds ahead and muttered to himself.

He felt that if he continued, he could climb a few more steps and surpass Shen Yueru's achievements.

“But there’s no need for that anymore!” He shook his head, giving up on the idea.

For him, getting to this point is enough.

He already knows roughly where his limits are.

His mental strength has reached a level that is almost indistinguishable from that of a primordial spirit immortal.

He had achieved his goal in coming here. He also understood why he had been able to reach the second-grade Grandmaster level so quickly.

In just a few days, he accomplished what an ordinary second-grade grandmaster would take more than ten years to accumulate.

The difference in efficiency was not only due to the panel's extraordinary nature, but also to his profound accumulation and unparalleled mental strength.

Since achieving the Yang Shen (spiritual deity) status, he has clearly taken another step forward, now possessing a spiritual strength approaching that of an immortal.

But now he has no intention of pushing his limits.

The greatest purpose of climbing the ladder to heaven is not to ascend to higher steps, but to temper one's own spirit.

After ascending the Heavenly Ladder, one will be subjected to repeated mental pressure.

With each tempering, his spiritual body has now reached a state as clear as crystal, and his eyes have become exceptionally bright.

Returning to this state and integrating into the main body will bring about a significant increase in mental strength.

He doesn't need to know his limits, just his approximate limits, and now that goal has been achieved.

If one forces an attempt, like Shen Yueru, and is blasted away by the descending spiritual pressure, the feedback to the body will be greatly reduced.

next moment.

As soon as he had a thought, an invisible wave descended from above his head.

In a mere instant, he vanished from that spot.

outside world.

The night was dark, and snowflakes drifted down.

The figure standing in the snow in the courtyard suddenly emitted a faint white light.

At this moment, Jiang Ning also saw the divine soul in his spiritual platform radiating golden light, and its spiritual strength was constantly increasing.

After dozens of breaths.

The faint light around him dissipated before he reopened his eyes.

Although it was night, the candlelight reflecting off the snow through the window made it seem like daytime to him.

Even in the darkness, his eyes shone brightly.

After digesting the crystal-like spiritual entity, he also felt a significant increase in his mental strength.

There was an improvement of about 5%.

Such a level of improvement is extremely exaggerated when applied to him.

Its spiritual strength is similar to that of a primordial immortal.

It is extremely incredible that it suddenly increased by half a percent on this basis.

"The Shangyang Immortal Sect is truly extraordinary!" He was filled with emotion as he felt his spiritual strength increase.

Then, he looked at his control panel.

[Source Energy]: 301733
"enough!"

He then scanned the skills section.

[Skill]: Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique Chapter 1+ (Perfect 10000/10000) (Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Robe (Light Blue), Fiery Eyes (Dark Blue))
The original Water and Fire True Energy technique, a superior method, disappeared and was replaced by the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique.

As for the characteristics in the characteristics section, they are only vaguely mentioned.

Looking at the changes on the panel, he seemed to be deep in thought.

He wasn't in a hurry, but instead closed the panel first.

The next moment, he closed his eyes, then opened them again.

Flames rose from his eyes, and the world before him remained completely still.

Vibrant colors appeared before his eyes.

Black represents water, white represents metal, orange represents earth, green represents wood, and red represents fire.

The five elements exist separately, yet they also merge.

At this moment, what he saw most was black.

Snow covered the capital, and it snowed all day long, all of it being waterborne.

He also saw various wisps of rosy light distributed in the sky, and saw the Geng metal energy spewing out from the direction where Su Qingying was located, with bursts of dazzling white light.

"The Fire Eye is still there!" he thought to himself.

I gave up on the idea.

He closed his eyes again and saw golden mist filling his dantian.

The essence, energy, and spirit blend together seamlessly without any rejection.

"The power of water and fire working together is still under his control," he murmured to himself.

At this moment, he also relaxed a lot.

The next moment, a thought came to my mind.

Red and black millstones instantly appeared around him, and the two opposing forces of water and fire maintained a certain balance.

Hua Hua Hua——

Suddenly, the sound of iron chains striking the air rang out.

Red and black chains extended from all sides of the millstone.

Black represents water, and red represents fire.

Two forces manifest, each displaying its own power.

"No problem!" he thought to himself.

Then, with a thought, the water-fire millstone vanished, and the extending chains disappeared at the same time.

"My power still exists!"

At that moment, he was completely relieved.

Looking at the skills section, there was no more hesitation.

The Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique is the method of the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire.

Although this is the first chapter, it is not the complete true secret.

But he did not doubt the power of this true technique.

Looking at the overflowing experience points on the panel, and the experience points required for the first breakthrough, an idea struck him.

Suddenly, the energy points decreased by 10,000 points.

He closed his eyes to process the insights and feelings in his mind.

Water is the foundation, cleansing the body of impurities.

Using fire to burn away the shadows of the three corpses.

The core essence of the first chapter's true secret lies in these two sentences.

The Kan water cleanses the body of all impurities, while the Li fire burns away the shadows of the three corpses.

The key lies in the power of Kan water and Li fire.

Water and fire cleanse the body of all impurities and burn away the gloom of the three corpses.

The current Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique is to continuously strengthen the power of water and fire.

It has a similar effect to improving the true strength of water and fire.

Moved by what he saw, he slowly opened his eyes.

[Skill]: Chapter 1 of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique + (Break the limit by 20000/20000 in one go) (Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Robe (Light Purple↑), Fiery Eyes and Spiritual Gaze (Dark Blue))

Upon seeing the panel, his gaze involuntarily sharpened.

Compared to before, the skills section on the panel has undergone a significant change.

The Water and Fire Immortal Robe underwent a qualitative leap, directly transforming into a purple-level garment.

【Water and Fire Fairy Robe (Light Purple)】: Fearless of water and fire.

At this moment, only four words remain to describe its characteristics: fearless of water and fire!
He glanced at it twice and then stopped paying attention to this feature.

Having possessed the Water and Fire Immortal Robe for many days, he already understood the effect of this characteristic.

The transformation we've witnessed now simply means that the effects are even more powerful.

For him, there was no significant improvement.

Then, his gaze fell on the Energy Points column.

[Source Energy]: 291733
After consuming 10,000 Source Energy Points, the total value of Source Energy Points also dropped below the 300,000 mark, leaving 290,000.

He remained completely unperturbed by this total amount.

With a thought, the energy points decreased rapidly again, dropping by a full 20,000 points before stopping.

After a while.

After he had finished reflecting on and understanding the changes in his mind, he looked at the panel.

[Skill]: Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique Chapter 1 + (Second Limit Break 30000/30000) (Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Robe (Light Purple), Fiery Eyes (Light Purple↑))

Similar to before, with the breakthrough of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique, the previously faint characteristic of the Fiery Eye Spirit Eye has become real and completely fixed.

At the same time, it also underwent a transformation, changing from the blue level to the purple level.

【Fiery Eyes (Light Purple)】: Possesses the extraordinary ability of fiery eyes, which can break illusions and see through falsehoods.

Compared to before, the description has been simplified considerably, but the effect remains largely unchanged.

But the transformation from a blue-level trait to a purple-level trait indicated an improvement. (End of Chapter)
