Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 777 Leaving You an Offspring!

Imperial Prefecture.

As night fell, the temperature plummeted, and a cold wind howled.

At this moment, in the quiet corridor, Jiang Ning and Ji Mingyue walked side by side.

"Tell me, how did things suddenly turn out like this!" Ji Mingyue's tone was somewhat sorrowful.

Jiang Ning smiled faintly: "Don't worry."

"How could I not worry!" Ji Mingyue shook her head and said, "I watched with my own eyes as my father's body gradually deteriorated to the point of exhaustion."

As she spoke, Ji Mingyue suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Ning.

Noticing Ji Mingyue's movement, Jiang Ning also stopped and looked at him.

"While you're still healthy, I want to have a child for you and leave you an heir."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning looked at Ji Mingyue with a wry smile.

"How did you suddenly come up with this idea?"

"Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring!" Ji Mingyue said.

“That’s not what you meant!” Jiang Ning shook his head.

“That’s not important!” Ji Mingyue shook her head firmly and said, “I only know that I have to leave something for you. I want people to sweep your grave ten or a hundred years from now.”

As she spoke, large tears rolled down Ji Mingyue's cheeks.

"Silly girl!" Jiang Ning smiled with heartache as he looked at Ji Mingyue, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and then wiped away her tears.

He continued, "I'm still alive and well! I'm tough as nails, I'm not going to die so easily!"

"And another thing," Jiang Ning added, "Don't even think about having children! I've come this far, and if you really wanted to get pregnant, it wouldn't be that easy! But don't worry, I'll definitely survive, and I won't let you live a life of widowhood."

"Don't try to comfort me!" Ji Mingyue looked up at Jiang Ning stubbornly, "I have a treasure that can help me get pregnant with your child quickly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning gave a wry smile.

Then he said, "It's really not necessary. I'm actually lying to everyone. You'll see if you don't believe me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ning's body stirred slightly, and his previously unguarded body suddenly changed abruptly.

It forms a separate entity, isolated from the outside world.

In an instant, Ji Mingyue sensed the change in Jiang Ning's aura.

Looking at Jiang Ning, who was so close, she felt as if she were separated from him by a vast distance, as if they were from different worlds.

“First-grade. Hunyuan!” Her gaze sharpened.

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded: "Are you relieved now? I can isolate most of the power of the curse by forming a domain around my body. But now I am unguarded. With your quick wit, you should understand why I did this."

"Did you do this on purpose?" Ji Mingyue asked.

"Of course!" Jiang Ning nodded with a smile.

"Why?" she asked again, looking at Jiang Ning.

"Of course, I was just creating an illusion." Jiang Ning smiled and then said, "Now you can rest assured! If I wasn't confident, why would I let the power of the curse erode my body like this?"

Seeing that Ji Mingyue still looked worried, he reached out and rubbed her brows.

"Alright! Don't worry!"

She glanced at Jiang Ning again, their eyes met, and she slowly nodded.

Then he added, "I'll believe you for now! But when your body can't take it anymore, remember to let me know! Even if you're gone, I want to leave you an heir."

"Alright!" Jiang Ning smiled as he looked at Ji Mingyue's stubborn face.

Then, he led Ji Mingyue back.

After a while.

At the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

"Lord of the Prefecture, King Wu. Please take care!" Jiang Ning said, bowing.

"Take good care of yourself these days," Xiao Wuque instructed.

“I will!” Jiang Ning nodded.

Then, Xiao Wuque and King Wu left first.

"Eighth Prince!" Jiang Ning bowed.

"In these final days, let's not leave any regrets, and let's not let Little Seventeen leave any regrets either!" Ji Minghao said meaningfully.

"Your Highness is too kind!" Jiang Ning said.

Ji Minghao's face remained calm and expressionless: "I don't ask for much. There is only one person I care about in this life, and that is Xiao Shiqi. I hope you can understand this."

After saying this, he turned and left with Ji Mingyue.

The two quickly boarded the carriage.

As a corner of the carriage curtain was swept open, Ji Mingyue's pretty face was revealed once again.

She stretched out her right hand and waved to Jiang Ning, then the carriage slowly started moving and drove away.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was recalling Ji Minghao's words and actions while watching the carriage disappear into the distance.

He only looked away when the carriage disappeared at the end of the street in the distance.

"He's a pure person, I might have misjudged him before!" he murmured to himself, then turned and went back into the house.

After returning to his own courtyard.

Jiang Ning sat alone in the courtyard.

At this moment, a small world rose within his body, forming its own domain, instantly isolating him from most of the curse's power.

He immediately closed his eyes and saw himself, both inside and out.

Suddenly, he saw that cold, hidden energy in his heart, still eroding his internal organs from who knows where.

Meanwhile, the Vitality Pill within his body continued to release boundless vitality.

The life force spontaneously surged into his heart, repairing the areas eroded by the cursed power and allowing his body to heal itself.

Under the influence of this force, the erosion of the curse power not only failed to achieve any effect, but the places that were originally eroded were also healing and repairing themselves.

"Such a potent medicine! No wonder Emperor Changning was able to hold out for so long despite facing an irresistible curse!"

Looking at the movements inside his body, he was filled with amazement.

Then, he moved the qi and blood.

Boom—

A roar resounded within his body, and all movement was locked within his own little world.

Blood and qi surged, rushing into the abdomen.

In an instant, the Vitality Pill in his abdomen seemed to be ignited, releasing a vitality power dozens or even hundreds of times greater than before.

A surge of immense vitality erupted, flowing into every part of his body, where it was rapidly refined and absorbed.

The power of Qi and blood increases accordingly.

Then, the crimson flower at the heart swayed slightly, scattering specks of blood-red light.

The golden flower in the dantian and the silver flower in the spiritual platform swayed slightly, and the three resonated and circulated within the body.

At this moment, he also felt that after many days of settling down, his essence, energy, and spirit had reached a balance within him.

There will no longer be a situation where "spirit" is strong, but "essence" and "vital energy" are weak.

[Skill]: Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method (Four Limit Breaks 133/50000) (Characteristics: True Self Unique (Light Gold), Insight into True Spirit (Dark Purple), Three Elements United (Light Gold))

【Three Elements in One (Light Gold)】: The essence of essence, qi, and spirit resonates, the boundaries dissolve, and they can be transformed naturally at will.

His gaze swept across the panel.

The reason we have achieved this state, where essence, energy, and spirit are in a near-perfect balance, is because of this characteristic.

At this moment, his essence, energy, and spirit were in balance, and his first-grade Hunyuan realm was completely stabilized.

His mind raced as he continued to circulate his qi and blood to refine the life-giving pill within his body.

He didn't need to suppress the power of the curse with the power of life.

In his eyes, such a waste would be less worthwhile than turning it into resources for his own vital energy.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Vitality Pill, which he had suppressed for several days, was completely refined by him and transformed into resources for the growth of his Qi and blood.

At the same time, the increase in Qi and blood also leads to the growth of Qi and Shen after transformation.

He opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The six crimson flowers at the heart swayed slightly, their energy surging, constantly eroding the curse power that had been born out of thin air.

He was secretly pondering to himself.

Reflecting on the events that suddenly happened today.

He had worried about the curse before.

Because for someone like Emperor Changning, who doesn't leave the capital, a curse is the best way to kill him.

He already knew something about this. To curse a martial arts master to death, one needs more than just flesh and blood containing vital energy.

At the same time, it will come at a great cost, and there will be a backlash from Heaven.

After the great changes in the environment, things related to immortality were suppressed.

In particular, the path of curses involves cause and effect and karma, which is too profound. Once it is used, the backlash will be enormous.

After fully understanding the situation, he put the matter aside.

Unexpectedly, the consequences ultimately fell on him, and his worries became a reality.

Thinking about this, he felt somewhat fortunate.

If it weren't for his previous dedicated cultivation, his strength would have greatly improved.

When a curse descends upon you, you are powerless to resist.

But now it's different. Even without external aids or the ice coffin to block the curse, he can resist the dark and corrosive power of the curse on his own.

So even to outsiders, it seemed he was doomed.

But he understood that this was not a bad thing at all, but rather a good thing.

This would allow him to fade from the public eye, causing those people to lower their guard and become less wary of him.

Lost in thought, he lowered his suppression of the curse's power, allowing it to slowly erode his internal organs.

Then he slowly opened his eyes.

"At this point, further advancement in one's realm requires time and the patience of perseverance."

He muttered to himself.

Having left the Martial Saint's thatched cottage, he had learned where the path to first rank should lead.

First, one must first achieve primordial chaos, then unite into one.

When one's essence, energy, and spirit are in balance, a microcosm is created within the body, forming its own domain, which is the state of Hunyuan.

When one reaches this level, not a single bit of energy leaks out; instead, every bit of energy circulates within the body, endlessly regenerating, and one almost never experiences exhaustion.

As for the next step, it's the Unity Realm.

That would be even more different.

It requires the continuous strengthening of essence, energy, and spirit, making one's inner world more stable. Subsequently, the three forces are compressed, merged, sublimated, and transformed within the inner world.

After its transformation, it evolved into golden energy, which is divine power.

When this power permeates every cell and every corner of the body, it signifies the true attainment of the state of oneness.

To achieve these things...

Besides the meticulous, grinding practice, it also involves strengthening one's vital energy and spirit, which can increase the speed of progress towards the perfect state of unity.

There are no shortcuts or methods other than this.

A variety of thoughts flashed through my mind.

So he wasn't in a hurry.

Now possessing the characteristics of the three elements, essence, energy, and spirit have broken through their boundaries. Strengthening just one of these elements is equivalent to strengthening all three.

Therefore, he wants to enter the state of oneness.

Besides time, one needs to cultivate one's own energy and spirit.

As for the combination of essence, energy, and spirit, it was the simplest thing for him.

Because he had already taken that step.

"So now, to improve my strength, I should focus on martial arts techniques," he muttered to himself.

Having reached this point in just two years, he knows where his strengths lie.

He also knew that although his knowledge was profound, in some areas he was still no match for those old monsters who had lived for over a hundred years, or even longer.

For example, the strength of one's spirit and energy is extremely formidable.

The improvement is also fast enough, progressing by leaps and bounds.

However, the time span is too short.

Those top experts who have been famous for a long time and are invincible have a time span a hundred times longer than him.

For example, the old prince of the Qi Prince's Mansion.

The image of that old prince immediately came to mind.

One word, side by side with the king.

The pillar of the Great Xia royal family.

He is known as the second strongest person in the world today, ranking alongside many others.

Among them was Huang Tian Dao Ren.

Moreover, they had already risen to the ranks of the strongest.

It is over two hundred years old.

Thinking of the various accolades bestowed upon the King of the First Rank, he felt immense pressure.

Because it won't be long before this old prince comes out of seclusion and will inevitably come knocking on our door.

Because Lin Qingyi is currently at the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

next moment.

His gaze swept across the panel.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Minor Completion 8937/50000)

Upon seeing this section, his eyes lit up.

The Taixu Yin-Yang Sword has reached a minor level of mastery.

He was also well aware of the power of this sword technique.

In the martial arts arena, if he didn't have this minor-level sword technique, defeating Mingxin wouldn't have been so easy.

This sword technique is now in his hands and is one of his most relied-upon skills.

Not only is he skilled at killing and defeating enemies, but his movement techniques also allow him to ignore collisions with objects and the obstruction of air. The mystery of his movement techniques gives him an innate advantage over others of the same level, making him virtually invincible.

Now, the experience points for this sword technique have accumulated quite a bit.

He also understood that the main reason was that Shen Yueru had passed on her insights into swordsmanship to him last time.

After digesting those insights and experiences in swordsmanship, the progress of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword also increased.

"Judging by the time, isn't it almost time for the one-month deadline again?" he thought to himself, the thought flashing through his mind.

Then, he saw the Shangyang Immortal Sect's true inheritance token floating in his mind's eye once again filled with radiance.

This indicates that he can activate the token of a true disciple and go to the Shangyang Inner Realm once again.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind before he put it aside for the time being.

At this moment, he was overcome with a desire to practice swordsmanship, specifically the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword.

The Taixu Yin-Yang Sword, at the minor completion stage, had such a significant impact on his strength.

They have even greater expectations for future success and fulfillment.

Then, he opened his eyes.

next moment.

A sword embryo appeared in his hand.

In the darkness, the sword in his hand emitted a faint sunlight.

Looking at the rough sword blank in his hand, his thoughts drifted.

The predecessor of this sword embryo was originally the spirit weapon Longyuan, which was a blade.

However, he later discovered that the spirit in the Dragon Abyss was inherently evil, so he reforged it and transformed it into a blade embryo state.

It no longer relies on the spirit of the knife, but solely on the material of the knife.

Later, after learning swordsmanship, he used the Yangyan True Fire to reshape the blade embryo and reforge it into a sword embryo.

To him, swords and knives were irrelevant.

They are all weapons for killing enemies.

He uses whatever works well.

For him now, swordsmanship is far superior to knife skills.

The Taixu Yin-Yang Sword is his strongest technique, his strongest swordsmanship, and his most powerful offensive art.

The improvement of this sword technique is not limited to enhancing its offensive and killing abilities.

It further enhanced his understanding and mastery of space and yin and yang.

This allowed his movement techniques to undergo a transformation.
