Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Trendy Life.

The roar of the waves never ceased.

The cliff was completely silent.

"Let me give Chaosheng Pavilion a way out, I'll do it! But I have one condition," Jiang Ning said.

"Please speak, my lord!" Chen Canghai lowered his head, suppressing his discomfort, and said.

He knew that now not only his life and fortune, but also the entire Chaosheng Pavilion, were at Jiang Ning's mercy.

After a brief exchange, he had no doubt that Jiang Ning had the strength to crush Chaosheng Pavilion.

Both the Buddhist supernatural powers he had just displayed and the mysterious and inexplicable strength were beyond his imagination.

“You have served me for ten years, so I will spare your life and also spare Chaosheng Pavilion’s life,” Jiang Ning said.

Upon hearing these words, Chen Canghai's expression turned solemn.

"My lord, please allow me a moment to consider this," Chen Canghai said again.

“I can give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to consider it,” Jiang Ning said.

The words fell.

The river suddenly fell silent, with only the roar of the raging waves below.

Jing Wuming stood behind Jiang Ning, remaining silent.

Chen Wang was extremely uneasy.

This was the first time he had experienced the feeling that his life and death were in the hands of others.

However, considering the strength Jiang Ning had just displayed, he felt no desire to resist.

That power was completely beyond his domain.

"My lord, given my current physical condition, I can only live for three to five years at most!" Chen Canghai suddenly spoke up.

“I know!” Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Hearing Jiang Ning's expression, Chen Canghai felt helpless.

“My lord, I am willing to obey your orders and serve you for ten years.”

“In that case, swallow this drop of blood.” Jiang Ning said, flipping his palm over, and a drop of golden blood floated in his palm.

This drop of blood originated from his heart; it was heart blood.

“Okay!” Chen Canghai nodded without hesitation.

Once he made the decision, he had no hesitation whatsoever.

next moment.

He opened his mouth as the golden blood flew towards him from afar.

He knew that this was a way for Jiang Ning to restrict him.

He also understood that without restrictive measures, Jiang Ning would not trust him.

Having chosen to bow his head, he knew this scene would unfold.

Then, the golden blood entered his mouth and merged into his body.

His eyes immediately lit up.

He felt a surge of energy explode within his body.

This energy, brimming with vitality, caused his withered body to begin to rise steadily, and his body was rejuvenated.

Like withered trees blossoming in spring, like an old tree flowering.

crackling-

His bones and muscles cracked and popped.

His back, which was originally slightly hunched, is now as straight as a pine tree.

His eyes shone brightly, radiating brilliance.

at the same time.

Feeling the rising aura emanating from Chen Canghai.

Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

That drop of blood contained both the means of control of divine authority and the power of glory.

Withering and flourishing.

One withers, the other flourishes.

The withering caused Chen Canghai to dry up and enter old age more quickly.

Rong revitalized Chen Canghai, like an old tree blossoming, giving him a second chance at life.

After the simple trial, his understanding of these two forces deepened.

He also realized that the Four Seasons Reincarnation Scripture was more powerful than he had imagined, exceeding his previous expectations.

The cycle of withering and flourishing is truly imbued with the immense power of creation.

This power has already touched upon the rules governing the world's operation, the rules inherent in the changing seasons.

Chen Canghai felt the vitality within his body, and his eyes shone brightly.

His body was now two sizes larger than before.

Her hair, which had been gray and white, returned to a black and gray mix.

Even compared to when we first met, she looks about ten years younger.

Judging from his appearance, Chen Canghai is only in his fifties.

"Thank you for your life-saving grace, Lord Marquis!" Chen Canghai looked at Jiang Ning, knelt on one knee, and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

His eyes were filled with excitement.

The return of his physical functions and abundant energy gave him a false sense of security.

It's the illusion that I've returned to my youth.

This feeling was wonderful; he had long forgotten the past.

Now I'm experiencing it again.

"Get up!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Chen Canghai stood up.

"I'll leave the rest to you!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Chen Canghai replied again.

“Chen Wang!” he then added.

“Uncle!” Chen Wang, standing behind Chen Canghai, responded.

"You are now in charge of Chaosheng Pavilion. All members must leave Chaosheng Pavilion today. Not a single blade of grass or tree can be taken away. You must investigate this matter thoroughly. If anyone takes away any of the Marquis's belongings without permission, kill them on the spot," Chen Canghai said sternly.

"Yes, Uncle!" Chen Wang replied, bowing his head.

He understood that this was Chaosheng Pavilion's only way out, a chance for survival that his uncle had bought by sacrificing ten years of his freedom.

He didn't want the centuries-old tradition to end in his hands.

Therefore, he understood that he couldn't afford to have any ulterior motives this time.

"My lord!" Chen Wang looked at Jiang Ning and bowed respectfully. "I will promptly catalog all the martial arts manuals, elixirs, spiritual materials, gold, silver and valuables in the storehouse, without concealing a single item."

Jiang Ning nodded, without saying anything more.

"Chen Wang, you must keep a close eye on this matter! At this critical juncture, people's hearts can be unpredictable," Chen Canghai reminded him.

"Uncle, I understand!" Chen Wang replied in a somewhat heavy tone.

Immediately, he took a deep breath.

"Uncle, I will certainly not let you down!"

After bowing to Jiang Ning, he walked towards Chaosheng Pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

He understood that from this moment on, Chaosheng Pavilion's centuries-old foundation and accumulated wealth seemed to be handed over to others.

In reality, they seized the only chance of survival in a desperate situation.

He had witnessed the entire battle just now.

He understood Jiangning's power.

He possessed the ability to overpower his uncle through Buddhist supernatural powers.

As for that final method, it was like something out of a legend, like something from a god.

Even now, he still doesn't understand it.

And just now, he restored his uncle's physical functions, making him look ten years younger.

Such methods were beyond his comprehension.

He understood that if Jiangning truly wanted to, the Chaosheng Pavilion, with its centuries-old heritage, would be buried tonight.

On the trend of life.

Chen Canghai readily surrendered his Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique.

Jiang Ning took the cold, snakeskin-like leather scroll that Chen Canghai handed him.

The scroll was quite heavy and substantial, clearly not an ordinary item.

"You're quite decisive," Jiang Ning said calmly.

Chen Canghai's expression was respectful, showing no sign of reluctance.

"If the Marquis wants it, then of course it must be handed over."

"Where did this come from?" Jiang Ning asked again.

"It was gained through experience and by chance!" Chen Canghai said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Then, his gaze fell on the snakeskin in front of him.

The leather scroll has a unique texture; it feels cool to the touch, as if it were alive.

He could vaguely sense a fierce aura emanating from the scroll in his hand.

On the leather scroll, the characters are as sharp as knives and as winding as snakes, full of beauty.

Every black character that fell into his eyes was like a black dragon baring its fangs and claws.

The entire manual is only a little over a thousand words long, and the text is obscure and profound, especially with the strange font, making it even more difficult to understand.

"Luckily, I'm well-read!" The thought flashed through his mind.

His gaze was sharp as he slowly swept over the characters on the scroll, which resembled dragons and serpents.

With his mind racing, he could instantly understand and digest texts that were difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.

His gaze swept down line by line, and he gradually understood. [Character Recognition Experience Points +101]

【.】

A series of prompts appeared rapidly before his eyes, at an extremely high frequency and speed.

He digested the more than a thousand obscure and difficult words in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The notification that the character recognition experience points were increasing was also paused.

His gaze then fell on the three pictures on the scroll.

A diagram of human movement, standing still as an abyss.

It resembles a black dragon churning the river, possessing the power to overturn the sea.

A body transformed into a raging wave, swallowing up the world.

Look at the first picture.

Boom—

A thunderous roar filled his mind.

My mind seemed to sink into the scroll, seeing images that were as real as reality.

It was a person, standing still as an abyss, with two dragons slightly separated, and his hands held loosely in front of his dantian.

The body's internal circulation does not follow the twelve regular meridians or the eight extraordinary meridians, but rather a series of strange pathways.

Starting from the dantian, it's like a dragon emerging from the abyss, soaring straight up into the sky.

After completing one cycle, the energy returns to the dantian.

But what caught his attention most was not the trajectory of the movement, but the abdomen.

His abdomen resembled a gaping maw of an abyss, a bottomless black hole, devouring his gaze and his attention.

The Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique—another thought arose in his mind.

Jiang Ning's mind naturally focused on his body.

A stream of energy rises from the dantian, travels through the body, passes through various checkpoints, completes a cycle, and then returns to the dantian.

In an instant.

He felt an empty stomach and an inexplicable hunger.

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Points +88]

He suddenly opened his eyes, which seemed to glow green.

That was the feeling of an empty stomach, of hunger.

At this moment, he understood why this technique contained the words "swallowing whales."

He felt inexplicably hungry and could easily eat a whole cow.

"My lord, these are the Essence Pills I prepared!" Chen Canghai saw that Jiang Ning was in a familiar state and immediately took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning took the pill bottle, poured out a few essence pills into his hand, and then popped them into his mouth.

As several essence pills were consumed, the hunger in his stomach gradually subsided.

"The phrase 'swallowing a whale' is truly apt!" Jiang Ning exclaimed emotionally.

Chen Canghai nodded in agreement: "Lord Marquis, in my opinion, the key to this technique is the Devouring Whale Technique. It is precisely because of the Devouring Whale Technique that I can devour and digest all things to fuel my growth! As long as I circulate the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique, even a mountain of food can be quickly devoured."

Jiang Ning nodded.

He also understood that Chen Canghai's statement was correct.

Swallowing whales is the fundamental principle.

A martial artist's progress is greatly influenced by their exposure to external stimuli.

Poor scholars, rich warriors.

In fact, from the very beginning of martial arts training, it takes a lot of resources to even get a basic understanding.

And the consumption of resources comes from eating.

Whether it's elixirs, meat, or rare and precious herbs, everything needs to be consumed and digested in order to grow.

The Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique is the ultimate expression of the word "eating".

It can eat anything, digest anything, and turn anything into energy for itself.

The most direct effect is the fundamental improvement of martial artists.

This is the Way, not a skill.

As he pondered this, his gaze swept over the "skills" section.

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique (Beginner Level 88/1000)

"It's also a unique skill!" Looking at the experience points on the panel, he wasn't surprised.

The Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, which became the signature martial art of Chen Canghai, the Black Dragon King, naturally deserves to be listed in the category of ultimate skills.

Having just read and understood the more than a thousand words on the scroll, he realized the domineering and powerful nature of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique.

To activate this technique, one must first achieve unity of essence, energy, and spirit, and condense divine power.

Divine power is the source that drives the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique.

They haven't reached that stage; they only possess the power to swallow whales and the effects of the Black Dragon Force.

It would be impossible to fully unleash the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique and unleash its earth-shattering power like Chen Canghai did.

Based on this alone, the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill must have transcended the category of superior martial arts and entered the ranks of ultimate skills.

Therefore, he was not surprised.

His gaze then fell on the second image on the scroll.

A black dragon overturns the river.

Boom—

As he focused his entire being, a roar resounded in his mind.

In a daze, I entered a world, a virtual world of the mind.

He saw a blurry figure standing atop a towering wave, arms outstretched, waving like a dragon, as if stirring up the entire ocean.

Countless fine lines of air shot out from the figure's hands, feet, and even his entire body.

Intertwined closely with the raging waves, it transformed into a ferocious, roaring black dragon.

Looking at this picture, the image of Chen Canghai's earth-shattering first strike immediately came to mind.

That's a killer move!
He understood.

I carefully contemplate the scene unfolding before my eyes.

【.】

A series of prompts appeared before his eyes.

A moment later, he opened his eyes.

Countless lines of air suddenly appeared around him, intertwining with his figure.

Upon seeing this, Chen Canghai was immediately horrified.

He had mastered the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique.

Therefore, he understood the profound mystery of this technique.

To unleash this deadly move, one needs to condense the first wisp of divine power.

Only with divine power, this special force, can this killing move be unleashed.

"Could it be that he..." A crazy thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't believe it.

Jing Wuming's pupils dilated in shock at the sight.

He also witnessed the entire scene just now.

This move was Chen Canghai's all-out attack.

He was defeated by this very move back then.

When the black dragon appears, it is incomparably domineering, enough to collapse mountains and sever rivers.

Just then.

Suddenly.

The air currents around Jiang Ning vanished in an instant, as if the scene had just occurred as a phantom.

But seeing what just happened, both Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming knew that it was not a figment of their imagination, but a real event.

After quieting down, Jiang Ning's gaze fell on the third picture on the scroll.

The body turns into a raging wave, swallowing up the world.

As my mind became absorbed into the painting.

Boom—

A thunderous roar filled his mind, and he was instantly immersed in the image.

Before me stretched waves that blotted out the sky.

It was more than ten thousand times more powerful than Chen Canghai's final strike.

The waves connect heaven and earth, reaching an immeasurable height.

boom!!!
As the waves receded, the billowing waters, like a giant maw, swept across the heavens and earth, swallowing everything in their path.

In an instant, there was no longer heaven and earth before him, only a chaotic, pitch-black vortex that twisted and contracted continuously.

At the center of the vortex was a point of light, a light that resembled the dawn, hope, and a world unto itself.

The body turns into a raging wave, swallowing up the world.

Eight words resurfaced in his mind.

"It turns out that Chen Canghai had fully comprehended the first four words, but as for swallowing the heavens and earth, Chen Canghai had not yet mastered them."

At this moment, he also understood that the ultimate meaning of this picture was to swallow the heavens and the earth.

It is also the most powerful place.

Clearly, Chen Canghai had not mastered this step. (End of Chapter)
