Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Dark as ink.

The snow fell softly, and all around was silent, except for the occasional sound of snow-laden branches breaking.

in the dark.

Suddenly, a pair of fiery eyes appeared.

In an instant, the sky cleared and the earth brightened.

Wherever the gaze falls, nothing can hide.

He saw countless streams of air flowing between heaven and earth.

A golden dragon was seen circling above the palace.

Above the golden dragon, crimson clouds surged and sank.

“This is…” Jiang Ning’s eyes narrowed instantly.

"Is this a manifestation of royal fortune and calamity?" he murmured thoughtfully.

A moment later, he closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again. The raging flames had disappeared, and there were no more strange phenomena in his eyes; he had returned to normal.

"With the upgrade in trait level, the effect of Fiery Eyes has indeed been enhanced. It can see more forms of Qi, and its ability to see through illusions has also improved!" He nodded slightly.

My gaze fell on the panel again.

Even after breaking through twice in a row, the experience points for the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique are still overflowing, which means that he can continue to break through to higher levels in this technique.

He glanced at the energy points again.

[Source Energy]: 271733
With over 200,000 energy points remaining, he had no hesitation whatsoever.

Then, with a thought, the energy points decreased rapidly.

boom--

A sudden roar filled his mind, making him lose consciousness.

next moment.

He saw endless flames swirling in the sky, the flames were blood red, constantly surging, vast and boundless, like the might of heaven.

这 是
He was startled, and the feelings he had just experienced in the interior scene came to mind.

When the Great Celestial Venerable of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire imparted the Great Dao and developed the Daoist Rhyme, he saw this magnificent and extraordinary scene in his mind at that time.

at this time.

He saw the crimson flames above his head begin to sink, and an immense pressure instantly enveloped his heart.

He was calm and fearless, and instead looked up to face the ever-sinking flames.

After a while.

The vast, boundless crimson flames completely subsided.

As far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was an endless sea of ​​crimson flames.

The world was filled with monotonous crimson flames.

Flames enveloped his body, and he felt as if countless flames were surging into his body.

Heart-Burning Flames!
These three words instantly came to mind.

Then, a sudden realization arose, like countless bursts of starlight.

for a long time.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

Two flames flickered and burned in his eyes, one on the left and one on the right.

[Skill]: Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique Chapter 1 (Three Limit Breaks 37888/40000) (Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Robe (Light Purple), Fiery Eyes (Light Purple), Heart Calamity Fire (Light Purple))
【Heart Tribulation Fire】: A supernatural power containing the power of the origin of the Dao.

Supernatural!
Upon seeing these two words, Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was secretly delighted.

This means that he has now mastered another supernatural power.

Mastering supernatural powers greatly enhances his strength.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he closed the panel, his eyes slightly shut.

He saw a flame burning fiercely in his heart.

"Is this the Heart's Calamity Fire?"

Looking at the pulsating crimson flame in his chest, he murmured to himself.

next moment.

His thoughts touched the leaping flame.

In an instant.

He then saw endless crimson flames.

All around, in all directions, above and below, left and right, was filled with endless crimson flames.

Everything that the eye can see and everything that the heart feels is like this.

Clusters and clumps of flames converged into an endless, boundless flame.

Each surging flame made him feel both life and destruction.

In just a moment, his consciousness returned.

Looking at the flickering flame at his heart, he had already understood the mystery of the Heart Tribulation Fire in that brief moment of contact.

This is an extremely advanced and mysterious supernatural power.

Once the fire of inner turmoil is ignited, this flame will spread throughout the limbs, bones, and internal organs.

It permeates every corner, spreads in every drop of blood, and in every hair.

In an instant, it will ignite everything and unleash incredible power.

This power is beyond imagination.

The profound mystery within it reminded him of knowledge from his past life, and the concept of fission.

In purely theoretical terms, the energy released by a drop of water is equivalent to that of 150 tons of coal.

This is an extremely exaggerated exponential gap.

The Heartfire can achieve a similar effect.

A thought came into my mind.

boom--

It was only for a fleeting moment.

The fire in his heart stirred, and the crimson flames instantly filled his limbs, his internal organs, and every hair on his body.

In the originally dark courtyard.

A burst of crimson flames erupted instantly.

this moment.

Jiang Ning was surrounded by crimson flames, and flames could be seen dancing in his hanging hair.

At that moment, his pupils transformed into two fireballs, burning fiercely.

It seemed as if flames were erupting from his eye sockets.

However, under the shroud of crimson flames, the snow beneath their feet remained completely unchanged.

Snowflakes drifted down, passing through the flames, landing on his shoulders, landing on his head.

His thin clothes touched the flames without causing any change, as if the crimson flames on his body were merely an illusion.

But Jiang Ning could clearly sense it at that moment.

As the Heart Tribulation Fire erupted, an indescribable flame filled his body.

This power gave him a strong sense of self-confidence.

He is confident that in his current state, he can knock his former self away with a single punch.

Moreover, he could sense that with the eruption of the Heart Tribulation Fire...

His entire body was burning—his skin, flesh, bones, and every hair was burning; even his spirit and energy were now burning.

He knew that the power of the Heartfire originated from his life.

The eruption of the Heartfire comes at the cost of life.

If he continues in this state without ending, the Heart Tribulation Fire will continue to burn, eventually draining everything from his body, leaving him as nothing more than an empty shell.

In a sense, the Heartfire Divine Power is a forbidden technique, an incredible energy that is unleashed by burning oneself.

It could allow him to transform into dazzling fireworks and burn himself out.

But this power is controllable.

The human body experiences death and rebirth every day.

Cells die every moment.

A short-term ignition of inner turmoil does not cause any substantial harm to the body.

The depletion of energy and spirit, as well as the overexertion of the body, can be recovered with just a little rest.

As for the moment when he truly needed to burn his own life, in that situation there were no means to fight to the death, but rather a sense of despair.

"It is both burning energy and spirit, and also a comprehensive enhancement of energy and spirit."

He muttered to himself.

Because at this moment, with the burst of his spirit, the divine thought formed by his spiritual power covered the entire capital in just a moment.

Compared to before, it is a multiple improvement.

The burning Heart Tribulation Flame not only amplified his physical strength by several times, but also his mental strength and internal energy by several times. "As expected of the methods of the Nine Netherworld Tribulation Flame Grand Venerable!" He thought to himself as the crimson flames on his body slowly extinguished.

After trying it out, he understood the effects of the Heart Calamity Fire supernatural power.

This is a huge boost to his current strength.

The divine power originating from the Great Celestial Venerable of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire contains the power of the Dao's origin.

Once unleashed, his power can increase exponentially.

Even if it doesn't last, it won't affect him at all.

A true life-or-death battle is decided in a short period of time.

A close, protracted battle is ultimately a low-probability event.

At this moment, he was in a great mood.

Having mastered a more powerful method and supernatural ability, the pressure in his heart immediately lessened a lot.

Once he uses the Heartfire, he can unleash a power that is not what he is now.

In addition, there are supernatural powers such as the sixteen-foot golden body.

His true strength instantly reached a level he could not have imagined.

"Perhaps I can finally have a head-on confrontation with a first-grade expert!" he thought to himself.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at the panel again.

[Skill]: Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique Chapter 1 (Three Limit Breaks 37888/40000) (Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Robe (Light Purple), Fiery Eyes (Light Purple), Heart Calamity Fire (Light Purple))
"We don't have many experience points left, so let's try to break through again and see how it goes."

Looking at the progress on the panel, an idea came to him.

Then, he stomped his foot slightly.

In an instant.

A wave of energy burst forth from beneath his feet, surging outwards like a tidal wave.

When his feet touched the stone slab, he fell as lightly as a feather, but the snow under his feet was swept away by the air current, revealing a clean and refreshing surface, free of dust and grime.

He then sat cross-legged on the ground.

"The Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique should be practiced in this way," he muttered to himself.

They began to mobilize the forces of water and fire.

Just then, he saw that on the fairy seedling, two leaves, one red and one black, seemed to be swaying slightly in the breeze.

His gaze instantly fell upon this spot.

Then his eyes fixed.

Because he saw that where the two leaves had just been red and black, a branch had sprouted.

The branches are now over two inches long.

The two leaves at the tip of the branch are now much wider.

"Red and black, red represents fire and black represents water! It seems to be the effect of breaking through the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique! I didn't expect it to have such a change."

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

He then continued to circulate the water and fire energies within his body, and the two forces erupted from his dantian.

In an instant, he felt a cool and pure aura surge and spread throughout his body.

Water is the foundation, cleansing the body of impurities.

This sentence instantly came to his mind.

At this moment, he felt the impurities that seemed to be present or absent in his body being carried away by this cool and pure aura.

Even though the body has been tempered and refined, impurities still remain.

Then, he felt a scorching heat rising from his lower dantian.

A surge of scorching heat reached the middle dantian in the chest and stopped, while another surge of scorching heat continued to rise.

When it rises to the upper dantian.

boom--

The three auras instantly erupted like raging fire in three different places.

The various desires in my heart gradually faded away in an instant.

Use the fire to burn away the shadows and afflictions of the three corpses.

This sentence came to mind again.

Based on what he had learned from books.

The Three Corpses mainly exist in Taoist theory and are also known as the Three Corpse Gods.

The upper corpse resides in the upper dantian, named Pengju, and is in charge of selfish desires and thoughts.

The middle corpse resides in the middle dantian, named Pengzhi, and is in charge of appetite and greed.

The lower corpse resides in the lower dantian, named Peng Jiao, and is in charge of sexual desire and lust.

The fire burns away the three corpses, making one's spirit calm and mind clear.

At this moment, he felt himself gradually becoming calm and free from desires, and no more distracting thoughts arose in his mind.

A moment later, the water cleansed his limbs and bones, and the fire in his three dantian was completely extinguished.

[Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique Experience Points +7]

Upon seeing the prompt in front of him, he couldn't help but do some mental calculations.

In about fifteen minutes, I gained seven experience points.

One hour is divided into eight quarters, which is about fifty-six experience points.

A day has twelve two-hour periods, which amounts to more than six hundred points.

We're still short by a little over two thousand points. At this rate, it will take about four more days.

It hasn't been that long, though.

But for him, spending four days on it seemed a bit wasteful.

Especially now that he has accumulated a great deal of mental strength, it won't be long before he reaches the final step of the first rank.

His near-immortal mental strength was enough to support him in quickly completing the final stage and then entering the ranks of the first grade.

The more he learns, the clearer he understands.

If one cannot attain the highest rank, one will ultimately not be among the heroes of the world.

In terms of martial arts level and foundation of strength, the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire technique is much less important.

sleep!!
He immediately got up, too lazy to continue practicing this technique.

It will take a full four days, and if you include rest and meal breaks, it will probably take another week.

His mind went completely blank for a moment.

Dongling City.

"Yun Shanhe, is this his residence?" Two figures landed on the snow on the eaves, their movements as light as feathers, leaving no trace on the snow.

"According to the intelligence records, this is the place!" Yun Shanhe nodded calmly.

Compared to the man in the black cloak beside him, Yun Shanhe was dressed in a long white robe, revealing his true identity.

He looked down at the silent mansion below, his eyes flickering slightly.

At this moment, heavy snow was still falling overhead, and the entire Dongling City was transformed into a silver-clad landscape.

The thick snow made Dongling City exceptionally quiet in the dead of night.

The only sounds were the occasional crackling of snow breaking branches and the rumbling of falling snow.

“There are only two women in this courtyard now!” said the man in the black cloak standing to the side.

“He was just granted the title of Marquis of Dongling in the capital, so he is still in the capital and won’t be back so soon!” Yun Shanhe said.

"Shall we go to the capital?" the man in the black cloak asked.

Yun Shanhe shook his head: "The capital is a den of dragons and tigers. If we go there, we will surely die! Since he has been granted the title of Marquis of Dongling and his fief is Dongling County, he will definitely return to this place!"

"Besides, he is now the Inspector of Zeshan Prefecture. As one of the Inspectors of the Nine Provinces, how can he stay in the capital for long? He will surely return here!"

"We just need to wait here for him to return!"

"Brother Dao, you can also set up a formation here to invite me into the trap."

Upon hearing this, the man in the black cloak nodded.

"It makes sense!"

"With the support of the formation, let alone someone who has only just entered the Grandmaster realm, even a first-grade Hunyuan realm expert would find it difficult to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Shanhe said, "Then I'll leave the rest to you, fellow Daoist!"

“No problem! Now that this person has come this far, he should rest in peace! With the fall of the two Nine Provinces Inspectors, Zeshan and Nan'an, the Luo Tian Pan was fully activated and connected to the Heavenly Dao. Now, the actions of experts above the first rank are being monitored. If this person is allowed to grow further, then we can only let him go like Xiao Wuque did.” The man in the black cloak said.

Yunshanhe said, "Then we'll leave the rest to you, fellow Daoist. We must finish this in one fell swoop!"

"Let's finish this in one battle!" said the man in the black cloak.

next moment.

The man moved and disappeared into the darkness.

Then, Yun Shanhe looked down at the scene below, speechless.

The black cloak stood out starkly against the snow.

But considering that only two ordinary women remained here, he didn't bother to say anything more.

An ordinary woman would have no chance of discovering their existence. (End of Chapter)
