Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 772 The Body Suffering Two Tribulations of Water and Fire, Cursed Kill Altar!

afternoon.

As the warm sun slanted westward, golden rays filtered through the leaves and fell upon the snow in the courtyard, making the ground appear dazzling and glaring.

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the ground in the pavilion, where the ground was dry and clean.

He closed his eyes slightly, his breathing became even, and he began to circulate the first chapter of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique.

slam-la-

Waves of water surged from his body and then flowed to his limbs and bones.

The tide surges, washing away all the impurities from the body.

Water is the foundation, cleansing the body of impurities.

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

With each breath, the Milky Way is drawn upside down into the Purple Palace.

With each breath, it draws in the earth's fiery energy to refine the elixir.

The general outline of the first chapter of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique once again appeared in his mind, and he entered a state of deep concentration.

He already had extensive experience in cultivating the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique.

Although the environment has changed drastically, he is no longer able to draw the Milky Way upside down into his Purple Mansion.

At the same time, no earth vein tribulation fire was drawn into the body to refine the golden elixir.

But they lead to the same goal by different paths.

Based on his previous accumulation of knowledge and experience, he was able to draw the true fire of the Great Sun into his body.

While refining the inner elixir, it can also refine the internal organs, thus improving the progress of the inner elixir health cultivation practice.

At this moment, he began to cultivate the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique and also had the idea of ​​conducting some simple experiments.

next moment.

Fire erupted from within, sweeping across the spiritual realm.

Burn away the greed, anger, and ignorance in his heart, burn away the seven emotions and six desires of man.

In the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique, this behavior is intended to prevent people from being influenced by distracting thoughts and desires, allowing them to concentrate on cultivation.

At the same time, it allows the mind to be more in harmony with heaven and earth.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes and inhaled into the air above his head.

Suddenly, streaks of white light converged in the void.

It gathers into threads, into gas, into mist.

Then it was put into his mouth.

Wisps of white mist filled the air with a cool sensation.

It enters the body, reaching the lungs and viscera, bringing coolness to both body and mind.

But for him, that was all.

He understood that this step was originally intended to draw the Milky Way upside down into the Purple Palace.

The so-called Milky Way is a river formed by the convergence of spiritual energy.

In that era, the environment was suitable, which allowed such power to be generated.

But in this era.

The environment has changed, and it no longer meets the standards of that era.

That's all he can do now.

next moment.

His mind stirred slightly.

It spread in all directions, its thoughts covering an even wider area.

In an instant.

All around, the entire Imperial Preceptor's residence, and even the areas outside the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Wisps of white light began to condense in the void.

Then the white light continued to gather.

Like threads coming together.

When it came to his head.

Countless strands of white light have converged into a white mist as thick as a finger.

He then continuously inhaled the finger-thick white mist into his body.

He immediately felt a refreshing coolness spreading through his body.

He felt physically and mentally refreshed, as if he were floating on air.

"This is the only way I can go now!" he muttered to himself.

After a while.

His mouth was closed, his chest and abdomen rose and fell slightly, and his nasal cavity opened and closed in sync with the pores all over his body.

In the courtyard, the light seemed to be drawn by an invisible force at this moment, slightly distorting and converging towards where he was.

Strands of pale golden light, barely visible to the naked eye, emerged from the sunlight, and as if drawn by some force, they converged into wisps of heat.

It enters the body not only through the nasal cavity, but also through the pores of the entire body.

Infuse fire into the body, and refine the golden elixir with fire!
In an instant, the heat in his dantian manifested as golden flames.

Within the flames was the perfectly round, golden inner core.

laugh--

chi chi-

With the burning of the sun's true fire.

He saw grayish-white vapor occasionally emanating from the golden inner elixir, turning into mist and dissipating.

As the grayish-white aura dissipated, the already extremely dense golden luster on the surface of the inner core solidified even further.

The volume did not increase; in fact, it shrank slightly.

However, the true essence contained within it becomes increasingly pure and profound.

Even more mysteriously, under the burning of golden flames, strands of scorching yet gentle energy are separated from the inner elixir, nourishing the body's blood and qi.

"When vital energy is abundant, essence is strong!"

A thought flashed through his mind.

It has completed the gathering of three flowers at the top, possessing the characteristic of the unity of the three elements.

The three elements of essence, energy, and spirit are no longer clearly distinct.

Instead, they have broken down boundaries and can nourish, transform, and enhance each other.

At this moment, the crimson flower of essence at the heart swayed slightly, and the gushing blood and qi were tinged with a faint golden-red color, making it appear even more intense and full of vitality.

At the same time, my mind is clear and alert, as if it is rising.

The prompt arrived as expected, and the efficiency was slightly improved compared to the morning.

Jiang Ning understood that this was a manifestation of his mastery of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique, and it might also be related to the abundant and active Yang Fire in the world after noon.

He calmed his mind, stopped being distracted, and completely immersed himself in his practice.

Time slips away quietly in the courtyard, and the shadows slowly lengthen.

With each breath, more of the Great Sun's True Fire is drawn into the body.

Each firing brings the essence of the inner elixir closer to perfection.

The three flowers of crimson, gold, and silver sit separately on the spiritual platform, the heart, and the dantian.

With the aid of the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit, they naturally achieve balance and nourish each other.

The Fire Forging Technique not only refines the elixir, but also invisibly tempers the physical body, cleansing the meridians and the last trace of impurity deep within the body.

As a result, Qi and blood flourished, further narrowing the gap with true essence and divine thought.

……

The experience points fluctuated steadily and efficiently.

As his experience deepened, he became increasingly adept at it.

He could clearly feel that the inner core in his dantian was becoming more and more brilliant over time.

Like a miniature sun rising within the body, echoing the silver moon in the spiritual realm, the image of the sun and moon shining together becomes increasingly clear and solid within the inner world.

As the sun sets and the sky glows with orange-red hues,

The experience points for the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique on the panel also reached a critical value, just as he had expected.

[Skill]: Chapter 1 of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique + (Three Limit Breaks to 40000/40000) (Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Robe (Light Purple), Fiery Eyes (Light Purple), Heart Calamity Fire (Light Purple))
"Perfect!"

Looking at the panel, a thought flashed through his mind, but he did not immediately choose to break through.

He slowly finished his practice, completely refining the last trace of true solar fire that had entered his body. The invisible field that had been spreading around him and attracting the yang fire into his body also dissipated.

He opened his eyes, and a golden flame flashed briefly before returning to calm.

He stood up in the pavilion, feeling the surging power within him.

The inner elixir becomes even more refined, with the true essence flowing like molten mercury rolling within the body, becoming solid and profound.

The blood and qi are intensely hot and vigorous, surging with the sound of waves and sometimes accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.

His divine thoughts were clear and transparent, reflecting every detail of his body.

The three elements are in balance and harmony, circulating endlessly.

"The Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique is indeed wondrous. Not only does it bring the cultivation of internal alchemy, but it also tempers the body and makes the essence, qi, and spirit more and more balanced during the tempering process."

"Now that the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique has reached perfection, it only needs the infusion of source energy to complete the next breakthrough." The thought flashed through his mind.

Then he looked at the panel and at the line of energy points.

[Source Energy]: 302337
"There are still 300,000 source energy points left. The next breakthrough of the Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique will only require 100,000 points."

He muttered to himself, and then his mind suddenly moved. In an instant, the number in the Source Energy column on the panel began to jump rapidly, and a full 100,000 points of Source Energy poured into the cultivation technique like a waterfall.

【Source Energy】：302337→ 202337
boom!!!
It felt like a volcanic eruption was happening inside my body, or like the deep sea was churning upside down.

However, all movement was firmly locked within his body by the Primordial Chaos Domain.

However, inside the body, it stirred up a monstrous wave.

An endless flood surged forth, rushing incessantly, into every part of his body, into every bone.

A chilling cold spread, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave that had stood for millennia, and his body temperature plummeted.

In his dantian, the golden elixir that was as bright as a sun began to dim.

It appears frozen, as if trapped in a state of solidification.

ka ka ka-

A series of sounds, as if everything was frozen, echoed within his body.

That was the sound of blood congealing and freezing into ice, and his breath was rapidly declining.

Even the mind seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost and mist.

He felt as if the cells in his body were like billions of stars.

But at this moment, stars are dying out.

"It's about selection!"

He understood.

The cells that have died out are those that were defective or weak in the body.

But as the stars faded away, his aura also began to decline.

The inner world also froze at this moment, and time seemed to stand still.

A long time passed.

Boom—

Another roar echoed within his body.

The golden inner core in his dantian trembled, and a vast expanse of golden flames erupted from it.

It instantly turned into a raging fire, spreading wildly.

The blood thaws and begins to circulate slowly.

The internal organs regain their vitality.

thump—

My heart skipped a beat.

The blood, which had been flowing slowly, suddenly accelerated at this moment, surging and turning into a giant wave.

He suddenly felt a booming sound, like rivers crashing against the shore, resounding within him.

at the same time.

The fire rose straight up to the ninth heaven.

It appeared in his mind.

The flames spread to every corner of his body.

At that moment, the inner world also transformed into a boundless sea of ​​fire.

Amidst the boundless flames, he saw human cells, resembling stars, being ignited and burning into fireballs.

It's as if the stars have transformed into a ignited star.

at the same time.

He felt the energy contained within the human cells being released as they were ignited.

However, the body is a self-contained entity, and the released energy is firmly locked inside, without any leakage.

The dissipated energy was absorbed by the flesh, bones, and muscles.

He saw patterns gradually appearing on his bones.

The large veins appear crystal clear and lustrous.

……

next moment.

The fire is gradually weakening.

slam-la-

An endless torrent surged forth from within the inner world.

Extinguishing all the flames caused his body temperature to drop sharply once again.

"I've narrowly escaped death." The thought suddenly occurred to him.

Then my mind was completely calm and I felt unusually peaceful.

Quietly observe the changes within your body.

A few more moments passed.

As the cold reached its peak, even...

In that instant, it seemed as if even one's divine senses were about to be frozen.

boom!!

A golden-red spark suddenly erupted from deep within his dantian.

Even a tiny spark can start a prairie fire.

In just a moment, it covered every part of the dantian, instantly igniting the frozen and solidified true essence.

Water and fire, two extreme forces, collided violently in his meridians, producing a hissing, burning sound.

Two extreme forces clashed and regenerated in a frenzy, using his physical body as their battlefield.

The situation is fierce, far worse than before.

The battlefield spread from the dantian to every corner of the body.

Every inch of flesh and blood is in a cycle of tearing and healing.

The bones groaned under the strain, yet continued to reshape themselves, becoming denser and more compact.

As the blood surged, the sounds of wind and thunder were faintly heard.

After a long while.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm, like a deep pool.

[Skill]: Nine Netherworld Calamity Fire True Technique Chapter 1 (Four Limit Breaks 67/50000) (Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Robe (Dark Purple), Fiery Eyes (Dark Purple), Heart Calamity Fire (Dark Purple), Water and Fire Dual Calamity Body (Dark Purple))
"The Body Amidst the Dual Tribulations of Water and Fire!"

He stared at his panel, muttering to himself.

The dramatic changes that had just occurred within his body were all observed by his eyes.

He witnessed his body undergo two tribulations, experiencing the extreme conflict and eruption of the two forces of water and fire.

He used his body as a battlefield to complete this tempering process.

【Water and Fire Tribulation Body (Deep Purple)】: A type of acquired physique, the body is like water and fire crystal, clear inside and out.

He clenched his fist lightly, the air popping and crackling in his palm, the air flowing like water between his fingers.

Beneath the skin, a faint golden-blue shimmer could be seen.

"The Body of Two Tribulations of Water and Fire uses the ultimate power of water and fire to temper the body inside and out. The first chapter is indeed a method that leans towards body tempering."

I wonder what effect Chapters Two and Three will have.

Memories of the past, the words spoken by that Great Celestial Venerable, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

The scene from that day resurfaced in his mind once again.

"The first chapter is about laying the foundation with water and fire."

"The profound darkness conceals the truth, and the fire of separation forges its form."

"The Kan River forms the foundation, cleansing the body of all impurities."

"Use the fire to burn away the shadows of the three corpses."

"With each breath, the Milky Way is drawn upside down into the Purple Palace."

"With each breath, I draw upon the earth's fiery energy to refine the elixir."

"Chapter Two is Yin and Yang Transformation into Calamity."

"The Yin Talisman locks the meridians, the Yang Talisman opens the heavens."

"The blazing Yin energy freezes the soul, yet the Daoist heart remains undying."

"The fire of the sun burns away all falsehoods, while true nature endures."

"When calamity strikes, observe water and fire as if they were flowers in the sky."

"At the point of annihilation, understanding Yin and Yang is understanding one's original nature."

"Chapter Three is about Tai Chi proving the Dao."

"Black jade represents yin, while red gold represents yang."

"The two polarities rotate, and the raging flames of the calamity give rise to the Taiji."

"When the thought arises, the Dao fruit will naturally be formed and one will enter the realm of a true immortal."

The indistinct figure's voice, as resounding as a great bell, echoed in his mind once more.

It shocked him so much that his mind was in turmoil.

"Water and fire, yin and yang, Tai Chi."

"It is the path of that Great Celestial Venerable."

Jiang Ning seemed lost in thought, muttering to himself.

the other side.

In a remote corner of the southern part of the Great Xia Dynasty.

A solitary peak pierces through the sea of ​​clouds, its summit flattened to become a vast white jade platform.

At the edge of the platform, the spiritual mist flowed slowly like a milky white ribbon, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, revealing the vast, bottomless abyss below.

Several magnificent buildings are scattered across the platform, their eaves and brackets all carved from warm, lustrous jade. Despite enduring countless ages of wind and frost, they still shimmer with a faint glow.

Between the pavilions, a winding spring flows gently, its clear sound echoing. It eventually converges at the edge of the platform into a silver waterfall, cascading down into the churning sea of ​​clouds below, splashing up thousands of snow-like droplets that dissipate into specks of light as they fall, like a dream.

"Welcome, Head of the Xia Family!"

An elderly woman, looking very frail, greeted Xia Xuanyan with clasped hands.

"Can we prepare the curse altar and make a move against Jiang Ning?" Xia Xuanyan asked directly after landing.

"Reporting to the Xia family head, everything is ready. All that is needed now is his flesh, blood, and hair!" the elderly woman said.
