Chapter 815
A Time Span, A Significant Increase in Strength!
More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
[Source point +0.2]
[Source Point]: 213.1
"Cool!"
Jiang Ning looked at his panel, a look of joy in his eyes.
After more than half a month of secluded cultivation, the source energy not only did not decrease, but instead reached a new level.
A little over two hundred.
If converted to the previous unit of measurement, that would be more than two million energy points.
But compared to before, the source points are undoubtedly more precious now.
Now, if he wanted to, he could upgrade his two purple traits to gold traits in a short time.
Placing it in the auxiliary attribute is equivalent to greatly enhancing his talent.
If he focuses on offensive and magical abilities, his combat power will increase dramatically in an instant.
His decision to elevate someone to any level is entirely up to him.
"No rush!" He suppressed his thoughts and calmed his mind.
Theoretically speaking, enhancing the characteristics of auxiliary classes is more beneficial to him in the long run.
But no matter how great one's talent and potential, if it is not realized, it will all be for nothing in the end.
In times of crisis, only strength can guarantee that we will get through it.
"But investing the source point like this would be too wasteful!"
He shook his head secretly again.
After breaking through one hundred points in the source point, he confirmed it through testing.
Upgrading a purple trait to a gold trait requires accumulating 100 Source Points.
The more than two hundred source points currently accumulated on the panel represent most of the accumulation of various sects in Guangning Prefecture over the years.
In just over half a month, Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming joined forces and almost swept through all the major sects in Guangning Prefecture.
Anyone who had previously joined the Yingtian Alliance or had close ties with it was almost entirely wiped out in this sweep.
As a result, a large amount of resources were delivered to him.
The foundation, farmland, mines, and other assets were all handed over to Shen Wenyuan to handle.
They were delivered in gold and silver instead.
Those possessions were transformed into various resources for his spiritual practice.
Faced with his ability to devour everything, most of these resources have now entered his belly, becoming his source points for accumulation and for the consumption of the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique.
In just over half a month, his Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique made a great breakthrough, reaching a new level.
[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique (5 times breaking the limit 27833/60000) (Traits: Whale Swallowing (Dark Purple) Dan Sea (Light Purple) Dragon Tendon (Dark Purple) Dragon Body (Dark Purple))
Looking at the skills section on the panel, he nodded to himself.
In just over half a month, the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique achieved two breakthroughs.
These two breakthroughs not only made his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh stronger, increasing his physique and strength, but also upgraded the rank of one of his special traits.
The dragon tendons have been upgraded from light purple to dark purple.
This increased the power he could unleash by several times.
This has taken our combat capabilities to a new level.
The next breakthrough led to a new characteristic.
【Dragon Body (Dark Purple)】: The physique resembles that of a dragon, born extraordinary.
Although the explanation for this feature is only eight words long, he had already figured it out in the past.
This characteristic affects the internal organs, bones, fascia, and skin.
This grants him vitality, recovery, and defense far exceeding those of martial artists at the same level.
He even felt that his lifespan might be extended as a result.
After this characteristic was developed, he clearly felt that his physical body became stronger and his qi and blood were increasing on their own every day.
A strong physique is sufficient to generate stronger qi and blood.
These days, his energy and spirit have also improved significantly.
Consequently, he now condenses eight strands of divine power each day, and his accumulation of divine power has reached three digits.
[Divine Power]: 127/8788
More than a hundred streams of divine power were distributed throughout his body, nourishing countless cells.
These hundred-plus streams of divine power spread out and fell, enough to cover every inch of his fist.
The divine power amplified the strength of his punches exponentially.
Now, facing Chen Canghai again, he was confident he could defeat him with a single punch, without needing to use his Sixteen-Foot Golden Body technique.
Now, when he uses the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique again, whether he unleashes the Black Dragon Overturning the River or the Body Transforming into Raging Waves, the power he can unleash is incomparable to what he used to have.
Each breakthrough in the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique elevates the Azure Dragon Strength to a new level.
The power that the moves can unleash has also reached a new level.
Compared to before, the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique has achieved five breakthroughs.
This is equivalent to building five floors higher than the original.
In addition, the number of divine powers has increased from ten to one hundred and twenty-seven.
With an increase in the total amount of divine power, the techniques that can be unleashed will also be stronger.
Two-way superposition.
Its power is immeasurable.
He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and confidence welled up within him.
Compared to before he came to Guangning Prefecture, his strength has improved dramatically.
a long time.
call--
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air from his stomach.
Close your eyes again and enter a state of meditation.
[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Points +137]
Compared to before, the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique has achieved two more breakthroughs, but its efficiency has decreased significantly.
But in his hands, it is still the most efficient and cost-effective technique.
It also greatly helps him enter the realm of unity.
A strong physique leads to increased blood and energy, which in turn enhances one's spirit and vitality.
Now his efficiency in gathering divine power has reached ten strands a day.
Compared to before, it is also a several-fold improvement.
Furthermore, as this continues, the body's energy and spirit will continue to increase, and the efficiency of condensing divine power will only become higher and higher.
Gradually, all the distracting thoughts in my mind disappeared, and I returned to peace.
Guangning Prefecture.
A middle-aged man dressed in a pale yellow robe, with silver temples and an elegant demeanor, appeared at the city gate, resembling a well-read scholar.
He looked up at the three characters above the city wall and then walked towards the city gate.
As they passed by, the crowd naturally parted, yet no one sensed anything amiss; everything seemed so natural and harmonious.
He passed through the city gate, and the guards at the gate ignored him.
It was as if he couldn't be seen at all.
After passing through the city gate, he glanced around and then walked straight in one direction.
After a while.
He arrived at the mansion in Jiangning.
Looking at the house in front of me.
"It's been too long since Chaosheng Pavilion. No matter how much external assistance he has, I don't believe the situation will be good. By now, he should be able to change his mind."
He smiled slightly, then stepped onto the stairs and knocked on the mansion's door.
dong dong dong-
The three knocks on the door were particularly clear in the quiet morning.
at the same time.
Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes in the backyard.
He looked towards the gate.
His gaze immediately sharpened.
"It's him, Xia Xuanyan!" He frowned slightly. With his current strength, there were few in the entire world that he could be wary of.
But Xia Xuanyan was undoubtedly one of them.
Xuanhuang Great Grotto-Heaven is one of the most outstanding among all the blessed grotto-heavens.
As far as he knew, the Xuanhuang Great Cave Heaven was controlled by the Xia family, who held a very significant position within it.
Xia Xuanyan is also the head of the Xia family.
Moreover, he is an existence that transcends the limits of humanity, and is known as a Primordial Spirit Immortal.
Such people, if not for the constraints of their environment and the limitations imposed by heaven and earth, would have already become immortals on the spot.
Their strength is so great that it is unfathomable.
"Why did I come here?" The thought flashed through his mind, and then he set off.
Silently, his breath receded like the tide.
In the blink of an eye, his complexion worsened considerably, turning deathly pale, with his white lips tinged with purple.
After a while.
He put down the door knocker, opened the gate of the mansion, and a familiar face immediately appeared before him.
His face was refined and scholarly, exuding the air of a learned man.
He wore a pale yellow robe and had a calm expression.
"Lord Dongling, it's been a long time!"
"So it's the head of the Xia family. I was wondering who would come at this time!" Jiang Ning said.
"This statement seems to indicate that the Marquis of Dongling is not very welcoming to me!" Xia Xuanyan looked at Jiang Ning and smiled faintly.
With just one glance, he could tell that Jiang Ning was not in good condition.
He was weak and listless, his pale lips tinged with purple.
This is clearly a sign that the power of the curse has penetrated the internal organs.
"With Patriarch Xia here in person, how could we not welcome him? Please come in!" Jiang Ning stepped aside to make way, gesturing for him to enter, his voice slightly hoarse compared to before.
At this moment, as he looked at Xia Xuanyan, he also had some thoughts in his mind.
During the previous battle at the Immortal Crossing Gate, he met a figure from the Flying Immortal Sect known as Ling Xuzi.
The appearance of Ling Xuzi at that time greatly shocked him.
Because what Ling Xuzi displayed at that time was the ability of the Immortal Path, the true ability of the Immortal Path.
The illusory image of the immortals appeared, and the pressure of the immortal path descended, causing heaven and earth to retreat.
If the Martial Saint hadn't intervened from thousands of miles away and killed Ling Xuzi in one move, the outcome of his fight with Ling Xuzi would still be unknown.
Looking back on it later, and thinking about it carefully, he always felt that Ling Xuzi's state at the time was very problematic.
The environment has changed drastically, making it impossible to become an immortal.
Even someone as powerful as Xia Xuanyan, the head of the Xia family, whose realm has surpassed the human realm and who is known as a Primordial Spirit Immortal, cannot step into the true realm of immortality.
Not to mention a disciple sent by the Flying Immortal Sect.
He didn't believe that the Flying Immortal Sect had such power to make people immortal in this era.
If that were truly possible, the world would have changed long ago.
Now that someone truly possesses the strength of an immortal, it's impossible for a Martial Saint to make a move from tens of thousands of miles away, wiping out Ling Xuzi's life with just a beam of light that pierced through tens of thousands of miles.
He didn't know the exact reason.
However, he believed that, given Xia Xuanyan's status and position, he most likely knew the reason behind it.
at this time.
Xia Xuanyan smiled as he watched Jiang Ning make way for him.
He then voluntarily crossed the threshold.
The two walked into the front yard.
Snowflakes began to fall again, silently and densely.
When it floated down beside the two of them, it separated on its own.
"Your Excellency has such refined taste! In this bitterly cold weather, you have created a vibrant spring scene where all things are thriving!" Xia Xuanyan looked at the spring scenery in the front yard, a scene that was still in full bloom even in the snow, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Just finding joy in hardship!" Jiang Ning said calmly.
"What hardship does the Marquis have? I've heard that Guangning Prefecture has been almost completely wiped out by the Marquis's men. Even Chaosheng Pavilion has abandoned its gates and moved to Hexi Prefecture." Xia Xuanyan said as he walked with Jiang Ning toward the backyard.
Jiang Ning shook his head: "Since I'm in this position, I have to do something!"
"Lord Marquis, you are truly righteous!" Xia Xuanyan complimented.
Jiang Ning smiled.
Then his gaze swept over Xia Xuanyan.
"I wonder what brings the Xia family patriarch here today?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xuanyan did not choose to answer, but instead asked a question in return.
"The Marquis doesn't seem to be in very good condition these days?"
"For now, I can hold out for a while!" Jiang Ning said calmly.
"Hasn't Your Excellency thought of any solution?" Xia Xuanyan asked again.
“I’ve thought about it!” Jiang Ning said, then shook his head: “But nothing works. I haven’t found a solution using immortal techniques or curses.”
"That's true!" Xia Xuanyan nodded, then added, "If it could be resolved so easily, the one in the main hall wouldn't be unconscious right now!"
"Unconscious?" Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened as he looked at Xia Xuanyan.
Xia Xuanyan nodded: "The one in the main hall, it seems, won't last much longer! The ruler of Great Xia may have to be replaced! Great Xia is about to undergo a change!"
As he said this, he gave Jiang Ning a meaningful look.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's heart sank, and he glanced in the direction of Ji Mingyue's room.
At this hour, he knew that Ji Mingyue was still sleeping.
He also knew that Ji Mingyue had a deep affection for her father, the emperor.
He also knew that Ji Mingyue would be extremely saddened once the emperor passed away.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
The curse technique, though ineffective, could not harm him.
But he had no solution.
Even if one has the will, one is powerless.
During their conversation, the two walked through the three-courtyard house and arrived at the backyard.
"Please have a seat, Patriarch Xia!"
Jiang Ning waved goodbye.
The snow that had fallen on the stone table was swept away, leaving it looking brand new.
Xia Xuanyan then sat down.
"I'll do it!" he said quickly as he watched Jiang Ning take out the tea set and teapot.
Immediately, he waved his hand, and a flash of light appeared.
Suddenly, a small red clay stove appeared on the table, the charcoal inside glowing red and radiating heat, yet without a trace of smoke, only a faint, calming fragrance spreading out.
Clearly, the charcoal in the red clay stove was not ordinary charcoal, but spiritual charcoal made from spiritual wood.
It burns stably, possesses strong internal firepower, reaches extremely high temperatures, and is quite valuable.
The various spiritual fruits displayed on the plate were shimmering with light and emitted a faint fragrance.
Jiang Ning glanced at it and recognized it immediately, knowing it was no ordinary person.
The Crimson Glow Fruit has an amber-like sheen on its skin and is surrounded by fire-elemental spiritual energy. It is a celestial fruit that also has the effect of increasing blood and qi.
The Ice Marrow Jade Pear is translucent like solidified ice, exuding a pure, cold aura, and is said to have the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow.
Longan Bodhi seeds have the effects of calming the mind, nourishing the spirit, and increasing mental strength.
Each one is extremely expensive and contains a rich sense of wonder.
As for spiritual energy, in today's environment, it can only be nurtured by rare and precious materials found in blessed lands and grottoes.
It is the key to an ordinary martial artist becoming a grandmaster.
Xia Xuanyan lightly flicked his sleeves and personally picked up a purple clay teapot.
The tea leaves in the pot are dark yellow and curled up like dragons.
Even before brewing, it exudes a profound and enduring Daoist charm, as rich as the earth itself.
"This tea is a unique Xuanhuang Mother Qi Tea from the Hou Tu Peak of the Xuanhuang Great Cave Heaven," Xia Xuanyan said calmly as he brewed it. "The tea leaves mature only once every three hundred years, and must be brewed with water from a spiritual vein spring to preserve its flavor." (End of Chapter)
