Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Imperial Prefecture.

in the courtyard.

As the source points decreased by fifty points in an instant, an invisible and vast power surged from the deepest part of his body.

This power comes from every cell, from the natural sublimation that he has accumulated to the extreme.

He saw countless rays of sunlight burst forth from his cells, radiating dazzling golden light.

"boom--"

A roar resounded within him, as if some kind of constraint had been broken.

The blood and qi surged and roared like the Yangtze River, producing a sound like towering waves that was particularly clear in the quiet courtyard.

His pores opened, and countless strands of pale golden light shone through his skin, illuminating him as if he were bathed in divine fire.

Deep within the internal organs lies a place where countless rays of sunlight converge. As the essence of the great sun accumulated within the body is activated and gathered, it suddenly bursts forth with an unprecedentedly intense radiance.

thump—

His heart pounded like a great bell, causing the surrounding air to ripple slightly.

The pumped blood was no longer pale gold, but transformed into a molten gold-like scorching fluid, carrying immense vitality and pure yang energy, washing over every corner of the body.

His physique underwent a fundamental transformation at that moment.

Jiang Ning could clearly feel that his flesh, bones, tendons, and even the smallest cells were undergoing tremendous changes.

The already incredibly resilient body was further tempered and refined by the pure Yang true fire.

Impurities were completely burned away, and the structure became increasingly dense and perfect, as if every inch of flesh and blood had been transformed into the finest red gold and divine iron, containing boundless light and heat.

The most noticeable changes appear on the body surface.

The pale golden flames gradually subsided, leaving behind naturally formed, mysterious patterns on the skin's surface.

These patterns are not artificially created, but rather are Dao patterns that naturally appear after the pure Yang laws within the body are perfectly integrated with the physical body.

Shaped like a simplified sun wheel, or flowing flame runes, it faintly appeared on his chest, abdomen, back, and limbs, exuding a sacred and majestic aura.

As the lines spread, Jiang Ning's body temperature rose sharply.

Where he sat cross-legged, the bluestone pavement began to soften and melt, turning into crimson magma that flowed outwards.

Even though the plants in the courtyard were several feet apart, they withered and turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into ashes.

Even the air was distorted and deformed by the high temperature, and light would be strangely refracted when it passed by him, as if there was an invisible, scorching force field there.

"The transformation of the physical body and constitution." Jiang Ning realized this in his heart.

He could feel that as the source point was consumed, all the Great Sun Essence that had been stored in his body was completely activated.

That was him repeatedly breathing in the essence of the Great Sun, repeatedly refining the natural treasures containing the essence of the Great Sun, natural treasures containing extremely strong spirituality.

At this moment, all the essence hidden in every corner of the body is completely activated and stimulated.

Countless golden flames burst forth from his pores, and his clothes had long since turned to ashes.

He could feel that his body had transformed into a furnace, and his pores were like the vents of that furnace.

With continuous forging and tempering, the body undergoes a comprehensive transformation, starting from the internal organs and extending to the limbs and bones.

At this moment, he quietly experienced this transformation originating from within his body, feeling the subtle changes in his body.

After a long while.

He slowly opened his eyes.

call--

He exhaled a breath of stale air, a wave of heat rolling in, the air distorting as it went.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique (Six times breaking the limit 58776/70000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Light Gold) Great Sun Divine Body (Light Gold↑) Great Sun Furnace (Dark Purple))

"Great Sun Divine Body!!" His gaze sharpened as he looked at the changes on the panel.

【Great Sun Divine Body (Light Gold)】: A special physique, containing the source of the Great Sun, like the sun fallen to earth.

"His body is imbued with the essence of the Great Japanese Source, like the sun fallen to earth." He murmured to himself, pondering these words in his heart.

Then, he looked down at his body.

With the golden flames erupting from his body, his clothes had already turned to ashes.

He looked at the mysterious, naturally formed patterns on the surface of his skin.

These patterns, resembling a great sun wheel or flowing flame runes, covered his entire body.

At this moment, as time goes by, it slowly disappears into the body and gradually fades away.

Looking at those patterns, inspiration struck him, and a series of insights flooded his mind.

"This is... an innate pattern!!" He was immediately shocked.

My mind drifted to the many precious bones I had come into contact with in the past.

Those precious bones were formed from powerful demonic beasts, such as the thunder serpent he killed in the Luo River.

The patterns on the precious bone originate from the innate nature, which is the innate supernatural power mastered by the demon.

At this moment, similar patterns appeared in his body, emerging on the surface and flowing deep into his flesh.

He could sense that the existence of these patterns was the root of his constitution.

"Great Sun Divine Body!" He murmured in his heart.

Then, he slightly raised his hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

"Om-"

A ball of pure white light, the size of a fist, naturally condenses in the palm of one's hand without any deliberate effort.

The core of the sphere of light was frighteningly hot, and the air at its edges was ionized, emitting a faint crackling sound that illuminated the entire courtyard.

This was not formed from true essence, but rather from the pure yang essence naturally dissipating from his physical body, containing terrifying power capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.

"The energy that naturally dissipates from the physical body has such power..." Jiang Ning dispersed the sphere of light, his heart trembling.

He could feel that the enhancement brought by the Great Sun Divine Body was comprehensive.

First and foremost, it's about strength.

His pure physical explosive power is now a level stronger than before.

At that moment, he had a strange feeling, as if he could smash down mountains with a single punch and crack the earth with a single stomp.

Secondly, there is defense.

The natural Dao patterns hidden on the body's surface are not decorations; they constitute an invisible protective aura.

Ordinary swords and even attacks using true energy would be melted and disintegrated by the high temperature and pure yang power contained in this divine energy before they even touched the skin.

If he were to unleash his full power, he could sense that the resulting force would be even more terrifying, even horrifying.

At this moment, as a fiery red sun rose in the distant eastern sky, he could feel his body constantly absorbing the light and heat emanating from that sun.

The light and heat flowed into his body, transforming into a continuous source of energy that nourished him, allowing him to constantly recover from his depletion.

Without his prompting, he could feel a mysterious connection between himself and the sun in the sky.

Even though they were separated by thousands of miles, he could still sense the blazing sun even as it was just the first rays of dawn.

Across the endless void, a continuous stream of energy flowed into his body like a river, nourishing it.

This means that even without the intake of rare and precious materials in the future, his cultivation speed will be further improved, especially during the day when he will be more efficient.

He then looked down at his own body.

Her skin was as smooth and lustrous as jade, and even as the lines on her skin had not yet faded, her body still faintly glowed with a pale golden luster. With every movement, her muscles were perfectly coordinated, exuding an explosive sense of power.

Then, with a slight thought, the Dao patterns on his body quickly disappeared, and the intense heat subsided, returning to its normal state.

But he knew that this was just an appearance.

When needed, the Great Sun Divine Body can be activated instantly, at which time he will transform into a human-shaped Great Sun, whose light and heat will incinerate all things.

"Now that the Great Sun Divine Body has been achieved, my strength has increased once again. Whether facing Ji Xuan or the Yellow Heaven Sect, I am more confident."

"In a few more days, the primordial spirit will break free of the womb, and the strength will increase once again!"

A thought flashed through his mind. He clenched his fist, feeling the surging, overwhelming power within him, and then slowly stood up.

"Snap—"

A crisp sound came from the ground beneath my feet.

Looking down, the ground that was originally paved with bluestone slabs had now turned into a blackened crystalline substance within a three-zhang radius of where he was sitting. It was a glassy state formed by the rock being melted at extreme temperatures and then cooled.

All the plants and trees in the yard withered and died, and even the soil lost its moisture and became cracked.

The air still held a lingering heat. "That was a bit too much noise."

Jiang Ning shook his head slightly. With a thought, the surging blood and qi in his body gradually calmed down, and the last trace of high temperature overflowing from his body was completely subsided.

He now has a very precise control over his power, but with his breakthrough, the power naturally revealed by the Great Sun Divine Body still inevitably affects the surrounding area.

Just now.

A gentle breeze blew through the courtyard.

next moment.

Su Qingying, dressed in a plain white dress, appeared in the courtyard.

At this moment, her hair was loose, she was barefoot, and half of her calves were exposed under her skirt, as if she had just woken up.

Noticing the commotion, Jiang Ning looked over.

Su Qingying looked at Jiang Ning, her eyes widening in surprise, before her gaze shifted slightly downwards.

Jiang Ning suddenly realized what was happening and glared at her.

Su Qingying immediately turned around.

After a few breaths.

“Turn around!” Jiang Ning said calmly.

He was now wearing a loose-fitting training uniform, revealing half of his chest.

Through the collar of his loose-fitting workout clothes, you could see the clearly defined lines of his muscles.

It looks as if it were carved with a knife and axe.

It doesn't look exaggerated, but you can feel its immense power.

"Congratulations, sir, on your further progress!" Su Qingying offered her congratulations.

Her pure white skirt fluttered slightly in the morning breeze, and her clear eyes fell on Jiang Ning, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

She could clearly sense that Jiangning was very different from yesterday.

Not only was his aura more solid and mountain-like, but a radiant aura, like the sun, also emanated from the depths of his flesh and blood.

It was as if he had transformed into a sun walking among humans, and even with his aura concealed, the surrounding air still subtly distorted.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, not elaborating on the details of this breakthrough, but simply asking, "During my day of seclusion, was there any activity outside?"

Su Qingying took two steps forward barefoot, her toes touching the scorched, crystalline ground, yet not a speck of dust touched her feet.

“There’s been no movement for now!” She shook her head and continued, “The court assembly has not yet convened, and there is still no news from Ji Xuan.”

Jiang Ning nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.

He glanced in the direction of the palace.

The divine sense unfolded silently.

In an instant, the entire capital was enveloped by him.

However, there were several places within the palace that he could not cover, as if shrouded in heavy fog or blocked by a powerful, invisible barrier.

Jiang Ning felt a slight chill and slowly withdrew his divine sense.

Those places that cannot be explored include the Taiji Hall and the Yangxin Hall.

"As expected, even though my Dao Embryo has been formed and my divine sense has undergone some transformation, the palace can still block my perception." Jiang Ning thought to himself, "But this is normal. If I could perceive every part of the palace before I became a Nascent Soul Immortal, then the royal family would have no secrets from the powerful figures in those blessed lands!"

He then turned his gaze away and asked Su Qingying, "What about the Huangtian Sect? Any new developments?"

"The situation in Xisha County is temporarily calm," Su Qingying said.

Jiang Ning nodded.

"What are you planning to do next, sir?" Su Qingying asked.

"Continue in seclusion to consolidate our position," Jiang Ning said. "Respond to all changes with constancy."

"Then please come find me again if you need anything, sir. I won't bother you any longer," Su Qingying said.

Jiang Ning nodded.

Su Qingying then left.

Jiang Ning looked into the courtyard.

Because of his breakthrough, not only did the floor beneath his feet turn into charred crystals, but all the greenery in the courtyard withered away.

next moment.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

An invisible force surged, and the courtyard instantly came alive.

The charred, crystalline ground cracked inch by inch, and tender green grass sprouted from the soil, quickly spreading out in patches.

The dead trees sprouted new green shoots from their branches and quickly returned to their lush state.

In just a few breaths, spring returned to the garden, even more vibrant than before.

He watched this scene and nodded.

He didn't like the desolate, lifeless scenery.

He then unfolded the panel.

[Divine Power]: 2877/8788
"The efficiency has indeed increased a lot. Now we can condense more than two hundred streams of divine power a day!"

Looking at this section on the panel, he nodded to himself.

"My primordial spirit has broken free of its shell, allowing me to become a Supreme Immortal of the Nine Mysteries of Yin and Yang. This achievement will undoubtedly further enhance my efficiency!" he thought to himself.

He was filled with anticipation for this day to come.

He knew that achieving the primordial spirit would cause his spiritual power to surge even further.

The surge and transformation of his spiritual power will also lead to an increase in his true essence and blood.

The three elements of essence, energy, and spirit are inherently interconnected.

The concentration and accumulation of divine power is related to the strength of essence, energy, and spirit.

As all three become stronger, the efficiency of condensing divine power will naturally increase significantly.

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, his gaze shifted downwards.

[Source Point]: 82.1
Looking at this section on the panel, a notification suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Source point +0.1]

He was slightly taken aback when he saw the notification that suddenly appeared.

Then, he came to his senses and looked at the sun rising in the eastern sky.

In the void, he felt a continuous flow of light and heat entering his body, transforming into nourishment for his body.

"Could it be related to this?" He was suddenly filled with disbelief.

But I think it's possible.

Because at this moment, apart from the influence of the Great Sun, no other direction would suddenly bring growth to his source point.

"If it's related to the Great Sun, I wonder how many source points it could bring in a single day?" He had some doubts in his mind.

He wasn't in a hurry after that.

Because he only needs to observe for one day to get the answer.

After stopping worrying about the issue, his attention turned to the "skills" category.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Cultivation Technique (Six times to break the limit 58776/70000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Light Gold), Great Sun Divine Body (Light Gold), Great Sun Furnace (Dark Purple))
Even after the breakthrough, the accumulation of internal alchemy and health cultivation skills remains profound, and the experience points required for the next breakthrough are not far off.

It's just over 10,000 points short.

"In that case, let's focus on this for the rest of the time. It will take some time for the primordial spirit to break free of the womb."

He muttered to himself, having already made his decision.

It takes time for the primordial spirit to break free from the womb and become a Yin-Yang Nine Mysterious Immortal.

The growth of divine power also takes time.

He had nowhere else to go for the rest of his time.

As for Zeshan Prefecture's defenses against the Huangtian Sect, he was not in a hurry.

At his current speed, he can reach Guangning Prefecture in less than an hour. (End of Chapter)
