The Divine Wonder Above the Clouds, Zhang Wangdu!
Chapter 821 The Divine Wonder Above the Clouds, Back to the Capital!
Before dawn, a deep blue hue still hung on the horizon.
In the backyard, Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.
[Skill]: Vajra Indestructible Body (5 times breaking the limit 60000/60000) (Characteristics: Dragon Elephant Power (Light Gold), Flawless Body (Dark Blue), Ten-Zhang Golden Body (Light Gold), Indestructible Golden Body (Light Gold))
He looked at the panel; the progress of the Vajra Indestructible Body had finally reached completion at this moment.
His gaze then fell on the Energy section.
[Source Point]: 12.7
Compared to yesterday, the source point remains unchanged and is not sufficient for the next breakthrough of the Vajra Indestructible Body.
He then closed the panel, clenched his fist, and could clearly feel that although the Vajra Indestructible Body had not broken through to a new level, it was still the same as before.
However, he could clearly feel that the physical tempering brought about by the completion of the cultivation technique alone had made his body several times stronger than yesterday.
Qi and blood surged through the meridians like a long river, and a faint vibration, like the roar of dragons and elephants, could be heard between the muscles, bones, and skin, as if every inch of flesh contained a great power that could be unleashed at any moment.
He stood up and casually moved his hands and feet, causing the air to distort slightly with his movements and emit a low hum.
"Only fifty source points short." A trace of regret flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.
If he has enough source points, he can immediately break through to the Vajra Indestructible Body, and his strength can also reach a new level.
He quickly calmed down.
His current strength gives him the confidence to deal with the potential undercurrents in the capital.
Moreover, the supplies from Guangning Prefecture are still being sold and transferred continuously, so the accumulation of resources will not stop.
Just as he was calming down and preparing to go back to his room to tidy up, two familiar auras appeared outside the mansion.
He glanced up at the direction of the mansion's main gate, took a step out, and his figure instantly appeared in the central courtyard.
With another step, he arrived at the front gate of the yard.
next moment.
The mansion gates opened.
"Lord Marquis," Chen Canghai said calmly, looking at Jiang Ning before him.
"My lord," Jing Wuming said, his respect even greater.
"Come in!" Jiang Ning said.
"Yes, Lord Marquis!" The two followed Jiang Ning into the front courtyard.
"You two have worked hard these past few days," Jiang Ning nodded.
“It is what we should do,” Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming said.
Jiang Ning nodded, then said, "Do you know why I summoned you two here?"
“I already know from the letter the Marquis sent!” Jing Wuming said.
"I already know!" Chen Canghai replied.
"Do you two have any objections to coming with me to the capital?" Jiang Ning asked again.
"I am at the Lord's beck and call!" Chen Canghai cupped his hands, his expression composed.
Jing Wuming also cupped his hands in greeting: "I will obey your orders, Lord Marquis."
Jiang Ning nodded, not surprised.
"My lord, the capital is in deep trouble right now, with various forces deeply entrenched in their own power struggles. Is there anything we should do on our way to the capital?"
"No need!" Jiang Ning shook his head: "You just need to pack your things now, and then we'll set off together later!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis!" the two replied.
"Go and prepare. We'll depart in an hour," Jiang Ning said.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately withdrew.
One hour later.
As the sun rises, a fiery red sun hangs in the east.
Jiang Ning and Ji Mingyue walked ahead on the still quiet street, followed by a tall crane whose body undulated and leaped.
Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming were further back.
The group walked along the street toward the Marquis of Wenyuan's residence.
After a while.
The Marquis of Wenyuan's residence.
The courtyard was solemn.
Four gatekeepers stood on each side.
Shen Wenyuan was already standing on the stone steps.
Seeing Jiang Ning and his group approaching, he smiled gently and took two steps forward.
"Brother Jiang, are you about to set off?"
Jiang Ning stopped and nodded slightly: "Now that the matter of Guangning Prefecture is settled and there is little trouble left, it is time for Little Seventeen to return to the capital after being away for too long."
Shen Wenyuan's gaze swept over Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming behind Jiang Ning, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
In previous letters, Jiang Ning had also revealed some information about the changes in the capital, so he understood the reason why Jiang Ning was going to the capital.
He then nodded: "With the Black Dragon King and the Drunken Yama by your side, Brother Jiang should be able to handle the journey to the capital with ease."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Brother Shen will still need to take care of the follow-up affairs of Guangning Prefecture."
"Brother Jiang, rest assured, leave everything else to me. I will have your three subordinates transport the acquired wealth and resources to the capital and hand them over to you, without missing a single penny," Shen Wenyuan said.
"Then thank you very much, Brother Shen!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in thanks.
"It's nothing!" Shen Wenyuan waved his hand.
Then, he looked at Jiang Ning, his expression suddenly becoming more serious.
"Given the current situation in the capital, Brother Jiang shouldn't be going back."
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head: "I have a reason to go back."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenyuan glanced at Ji Mingyue beside Jiang Ning.
As the ancients said, "Even heroes find it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman," and that's certainly true!
Jiang Ning smiled.
"Very well!" Shen Wenyuan waved his hand. "I won't keep Brother Jiang any longer! Brother Jiang must have a plan to get to where he is today! And with Brother Jiang's strength, the turmoil in the capital should not affect him. Moreover, Brother Jiang now has the Black Flood Dragon King and Drunken Yama to help him."
"I won't keep Brother Jiang any longer!" Shen Wenyuan said, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Jiang Ning, "Brother Jiang, take care on your journey!"
"Take care!" Jiang Ning bowed.
Then, he picked up Ji Mingyue, and with a leap, the two of them soared high into the air and landed on the crane's back.
"Brother Shen, farewell!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in farewell once more.
Shen Wenyuan cupped his hands in greeting.
next moment.
-
With a long cry, the crane flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
Below, Shen Wenyuan watched until the crane disappeared behind the buildings before turning his gaze away.
He then looked at Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming.
"Take care on your journey, both of you!"
Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming bowed to Shen Wenyuan in unison.
next moment.
The two of them instantly turned into two afterimages and disappeared before their eyes.
the other side.
The crane soared straight into the azure sky, and moments later, it passed through the vast clouds and rose above the clouds.
The sky was clear, and the sea of clouds surged like snow waves.
The blazing sun hangs high in the east, casting down boundless light and heat.
Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the back of the crane, feeling the purer and more intense essence of sunlight high in the sky. His mind stirred slightly, and he sat cross-legged on the crane's back, gazing at the great sun in the distant east.
Unlike on the ground, above the clouds, he felt the bubbling, life-giving energy permeating the entire world.
With a slight thought, he slowly inhaled, facing the direction of the sun.
In an instant.
Like a whale swallowing its prey, he saw wisps of crimson light gathering in the sky and converging towards his mouth.
That's amazing!!
His mind changed.
I suddenly felt my internal organs boiling, as if oil were being cooked over a raging fire.
Compared to last time, the intensity was immeasurable.
The next moment, he felt the subtle, cold aura within his internal organs being rapidly driven away.
A warm feeling flowed through his body, and fine beads of sweat gathered on his forehead.
Behind her, Ji Mingyue looked at Jiang Ning's back and immediately saw crimson light emanating from the pores of Jiang Ning's body, forming a halo that spread outwards.
She stared at this divine scene, her pupils dilating slightly.
On her way to Guangning Prefecture last time, Jiang Ning exhaled the essence of the sun all the way, which she saw.
However, Jiangning at that time did not show any special abilities; it looked ordinary and unremarkable.
This time, however, an extraordinary phenomenon appeared, as if it were a divine manifestation.
"His progress is so fast!" Ji Mingyue thought to herself, quietly watching Jiang Ning breathe in the essence of the great sun.
At this moment, the aura emanating from Jiang Ning displayed seven different colors, representing the layers of a rainbow.
At this moment, Jiang Ning felt extremely intense inside, as if his internal organs were burning with raging fire.

[Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise Experience Points +103]
[Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise Experience Points +99]
【.】
A series of prompts appeared until the boiling heat in his body subsided, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise (Breaking Limits Four Times 6211/50000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Dark Purple), Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple), Great Sun Furnace (Dark Purple))
"Such high efficiency!"
Looking at the progress on the panel, a hint of confidence flashed in his eyes.
"It's several times faster than before. At this rate, it would take at most a day to advance the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique in the Clouds!"
"When the functions of the five internal organs are enhanced, the Qi Sea naturally expands, and when the Qi expands, the 'essence' and 'spirit' naturally become abundant!"
He secretly thought.
Then, he took another slow breath facing the great sun in the distant east.
The void in front of him instantly boiled, and wisps of crimson light condensed out of thin air, converging once again into his abdomen, as if a whale were swallowing and absorbing it.
He understood why it had achieved such an effect.
It's because of the "whale swallowing" characteristic.
It was the combination of these unique traits that gradually made him extraordinary, stand out from the crowd, and become different from others, allowing him to stand out even among the most outstanding talents.
But he also understands that precisely because of this, he needs to be even more cautious.
A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind; this is an age-old truth.
Especially now that we've come this far, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
Once the world knows his true potential, it is unknown how much malice will erupt against him.
As he pondered, he quietly sensed the functions of his internal organs, circulated his internal alchemy exercises, and slowly felt the essence of the sun refining his organs.
Feeling his body grow little by little, he felt an extraordinary sense of peace.
Two days later.
"That's the capital city!" Ji Mingyue stood on the crane's neck, looking at the city walls that stretched out in the distance like a black dragon swimming, her eyes bright.
At this moment, Jiang Ning had already gotten up.
A howling wind scattered Ji Mingyue's long hair.
Her long, black hair was whipped up by the gale, resembling a waterfall cascading down from the sky.
His long skirt was also lifted halfway by the strong wind, constantly slapping against his body.
Beneath the long skirt were plain white trousers that clung tightly to her legs.
Watching her retreating figure, Jiang Ning revealed a faint smile.
He wouldn't have been able to get to where he is today without Ji Mingyue's support.
It was also inseparable from Ji Minghao's help to him in the beginning.
Many people have helped him along the way.
He always kept it in his heart.
He then opened the panel.
[Source Point]: 12.8
Compared to two days ago, the source point remained unchanged, only increasing by 0.1.
[Divine Power]: 217/8788
[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise (Breaking Limits Four Times 50000/50000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Dark Purple), Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple), Great Sun Furnace (Dark Purple))
The most significant changes are in the accumulation of divine power and the progress of internal alchemy health cultivation.
More than two hundred streams of divine power could cover nearly half the size of his arm.
Wherever divine power is applied, the physical body becomes indestructible, and the power increases dramatically, making it extremely extraordinary.
This is a higher level of power resulting from the condensation, high unity, and transformation of essence, energy, and spirit.
Every increase in divine power has a certain impact on his strength.
The more accumulated power one has, the stronger any move can unleash, combining offense and defense into one.
In addition, the progress in the Neidan health cultivation exercise is encouraging.
Several hours ago, the progress of the Neidan Health Cultivation Exercise reached its current perfection.
The only thing missing for Neidan Health Cultivation to reach the next level is the catalyst of the source point.
"The breakthrough in Neidan Health Cultivation Exercise requires twenty Source Points, while the breakthrough in Vajra Indestructible Body requires fifty points. We are still more than sixty points short."
Looking at the mere ten or so points on the panel, he felt a sudden sense of urgency.
Both of these techniques are at the level of ultimate skills.
Each breakthrough significantly boosted his abilities.
While martial arts realm is paramount, the influence of the grade of the technique and the realm itself should not be underestimated.
"After entering the city, I will first try to accumulate source points. If I can achieve breakthroughs in both the Vajra Indestructible Body and the Inner Alchemy Nourishing Technique, my strength will be even greater."
"Strength is the foundation of my confidence!"
He muttered to himself.
The crane soared through the air and landed directly at the city gate of the capital.
"Greetings, Your Excellency! Greetings, Princess!"
The moment the crane landed, it had already attracted the attention of the city guards. Immediately, a small team of men rushed over, and the crowd dispersed in a commotion.
"Open the city gates and enter the city!" Ji Mingyue leaped down from the crane, her youthful face bearing the majesty of royalty.
"Yes, Princess!" The city guard bowed his head respectfully.
Then, he waved to the guards behind him who were watching over the central gate of the city.
"Open the city gates!!"
As his voice faded.
Kaka-
The sounds of gears and bearings turning and iron locks rolling echoed in the center of the city wall, and the heavy black gate in the middle slowly opened, making a rumbling sound as it rubbed against the ground.
As members of the royal family, they enter the city through the main gate in the center; this is the rule and etiquette of the royal family.
Once the main gate in the middle is fully opened.
Jiang Ning and Ji Mingyue walked into the capital side by side.
The crane from the royal family hopped and skipped behind Jiang Ning, passing through the wide city gate and disappearing from everyone's sight.
Only after Jiang Ning and Ji Mingyue had gone far away did a commotion arise at the city gate.
"The fact that the Marquis of Dongling chose to return at this time, could it be that the rumors in the city are true?" some people whispered.
"Perhaps it's true, that person might really have vomited blood and fallen into a coma." Some people whispered among themselves, their words carrying a hidden meaning.
"So, does this mean the situation in the capital is about to change?"
"If it's true, perhaps the world is about to change!"
"..."
Conversations rang out at the city gate.
Then, a figure quickly disappeared into the shadows, and news spread rapidly.
Suddenly, undercurrents surged in the capital.
“Returning to the capital like this will surely attract attention from all sides,” Ji Mingyue said, glancing back at the dark alleys on either side.
"It's alright," Jiang Ning said calmly. "We've already gone back; they'll find out sooner or later anyway."
