Chapter 827
Enlightenment and Transcendence!
Imperial Prefecture.
In the courtyard.
Looking at the Saint King Pill in front of him, Jiang Ning was tempted.
He picked up one of the Saint King Pills and his gaze fell on it.
The elixir was as white as jade, with faint golden patterns.
Smelling the medicinal fragrance so close at hand, his blood and qi stirred within him, and a feeling of longing arose in his heart.
It's a primal bodily desire, like a thirsty person in the desert suddenly finding a clear spring, or someone who's been starving for three days and three nights seeing a delicious roast chicken.
He suppressed the rising desire within him.
"Now that the King of Beicang has entered the capital and the King of the First Rank is about to emerge from seclusion, I must increase my strength as much as possible," Jiang Ning murmured to himself.
Without further hesitation, he put the Saint King Pill in his mouth.
As soon as the pill enters the mouth, saliva is secreted, and the pill coating dissolves rapidly.
The next moment, a warm yet powerful medicinal force exploded in his mouth, flowing down his throat into his abdomen and into his limbs and bones.
"What a powerful effect!" He sighed inwardly as he felt his body react and his cells rejoice.
Then, he closed his eyes slightly and his throat moved.
goo-dong-
With a gulp, the Saint King Pill in his mouth fell straight into his stomach.
In an instant.
As the Holy King Pill entered his stomach, it was like an ice ball falling into boiling magma, immediately triggering a violent reaction.
The solidified pill decomposed wildly in his abdomen, transforming into countless torrents of medicinal power.
The medicinal power surged forth along its previous trajectory, sweeping powerfully into every part of the body.
The medicinal properties penetrate the internal organs and the muscles and bones.
The blood and qi in the body immediately began to boil.
The dantian was no longer calm. The great sun in the dantian seemed to be supported by some kind of energy, emitting light and heat that were far more intense than usual.
Simultaneously.
Wisps of pure energy rose up, ignoring the obstruction of flesh, blood, and bones, and flowed directly into the spiritual platform.
With a clear mind and consciousness, one instantly enters a state of clarity and lucidity, and one's thinking becomes more acute than usual.
Many of the difficulties I had encountered in my past practice suddenly became clear, and my understanding of the techniques deepened.
At that moment, he felt as if a hidden switch in his mind had been flipped, the shackles were broken, and countless flashes of inspiration exploded in his mind.
"Is this the state of transcending the ordinary and entering sainthood?" he wondered to himself.
In just a moment, a thousand thoughts flashed through my mind.
"This state is not suitable for the Vajra Indestructible Body and the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique!" he realized.
The Vajra Indestructible Body and the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique are techniques related to the physical body.
This kind of practice involves the physical body and emphasizes diligence and perseverance. It requires taking one step at a time and cannot be achieved overnight or by making rapid progress.
However, some methods of practice are different.
For techniques that involve artistic conception, skill, and philosophy, and that rely purely on comprehension, one can achieve enlightenment in a single day and progress rapidly.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
The panel then appeared in front of him.
[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Mastery 23747/100000)
These days, he almost always completes the cultivation of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword through the inner realm.
But even in the interior scenes, he dared not linger for too long.
If the time continues for too long and the interior remains unchanged, the passage of time will gradually cause him to feel a sense of emptiness.
This feeling can trigger mood swings and lethargy.
Now that he has entered the realm of Oneness, what he needs to do most is to maintain the unity of essence, energy, and spirit, and not to break the balance among the three.
Once the balance is completely broken, one will fall to the state of Black Dragon King Chen Canghai, dropping from the first rank to the second rank.
"This state is perfect for the Taixu Yin Yang Sword, which places great emphasis on comprehension," Jiang Ning muttered to himself as he closed the panel.
next moment.
He raised his hand and a long sword appeared in his hand.
The longsword was not sharp, nor did its surface gleam; instead, it was rough and utterly blunt.
This is the embryo of a sword.
Holding the sword embryo, he made a movement.
In an instant, the sword light surged like a rolling tide.
The sword light immediately caused the surrounding void to twist, and the light also distorted, separating light and darkness.
At this moment, it was clearly bright daylight with the sun shining brightly, but as the sword light split, the surrounding light gradually became divided into yin and yang, separating the light and darkness.
Half of it was dark, as if entering twilight.
Half of it was bright, like the sun high in the sky, its sunlight dazzling.
The two constantly converged around him.
The sword shadows in his hand split in all directions, spreading out in layers.
Each sword shadow that appears gives rise to a human figure.
The man follows the sword, and the sword moves with the man.
In just a moment, countless copies of him filled the courtyard.
It can be chopped, flicked, sliced, or sliced.
The angles at which the swords are drawn are all different, and the sword techniques are also different.
The void itself became distorted.
The figures and sword shadows rose and fell, arranged in a staggered and varied manner.
[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +1123]
Upon seeing the first notification flash before him, his heart stirred, and his attention was momentarily distracted.
"Is this the terrifying efficiency brought about by the transcendent state?!"
He was amazed.
[Source point +3]
At this moment, the powerful medicinal force surged through his body, causing his bones and muscles to throb, his flesh to writhe, and his body cells to cheer. It also caused a notification of the growth of the source point to flash before their eyes.
"So strong!" he couldn't help but praise in his heart.
At this moment, he truly felt the power of the Saint King Pill.
Then, all his distracting thoughts vanished.
He was completely immersed in the profound mystery of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword technique.
Accompanied by a state of mental immersion.
The number of sword shadows and human figures in the courtyard increased, and the layers of sword light resembled the convergence of rivers or the explosion of stars.
Jiang Ning was completely immersed in the transcendent state induced by the Saint King Pill, his mind was as clear as a mirror, and his comprehension of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword was rising at an unprecedented speed.
Although the blade in his hand was not yet sharpened, it moved at will, and his moves were casual and seemingly chaotic.
However, he has reached a point where he is not bound by fixed moves; every move he makes subtly embodies the changes of Yin and Yang.
Light and darkness intertwine, reality and illusion coexist; wherever the sword intent passes, space seems to be folded and stretched by an invisible force.

【.】
A notification pops up every now and then, indicating that the experience points for the Taixu Yin Yang Sword are increasing.
Each notification that appeared was fluctuating at an unprecedented number.
At the same time, there are occasional notifications of source point growth.
But Jiang Ning's attention is no longer on that.
He gradually entered a state of complete absorption, his mind and body immersed in the moment, and countless flashes of inspiration burst forth in his head.
Those countless flashes of inspiration were like stars exploding in his mind, and each explosion of light brought even stronger insights.
He forgot the passage of time and the approaching crisis.
I don't know how much time passed.
[Enlightenment complete. Taixu Yin Yang Sword experience points +27233]
He was momentarily distracted, then his consciousness returned, and he felt utterly exhausted. The sword in his hand returned to its original form, and his figure vanished as well.
call--
He stood there, sword in hand, his eyes regaining their clarity, and exhaled a long breath.
The foul air swirled back, creating a gust of wind in the courtyard.
"There's absolutely no trace of the medicine left in my body!" He was astonished as he realized his current physical condition.
He could clearly feel the intense changes brought about by the Saint King Pill just now entering his stomach.
But now, his body is completely empty, and even his vital energy and spirit have been completely depleted.
He then unfolded the panel. [Source Point]: 37.5
His gaze sharpened as he looked at the numbers on the panel.
"Previously, I had less than thirteen Origin Points accumulated, but now I have directly reached thirty-seven and a half Origin Points accumulated. Is this the Saint King Pill?"
His emotions surged suddenly.
Then his gaze shifted downwards.
[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Mastery 71377/100000)
"Seventy-three thousand??!"
"The growth is so huge!!"
Looking at the Taixu Yin Yang Sword section and seeing the accumulated experience points, he was somewhat incredulous.
Then, the prompt that had just flashed before my eyes came back to my mind.
[Enlightenment complete. Taixu Yin Yang Sword experience points +27233]
"The epiphany is over!" he murmured, suddenly understanding something in his heart.
The reason we just achieved such an unprecedented increase in efficiency is because...
It is a superposition of two states.
The state of transcendence and enlightenment.
His previous exceptional comprehension trait, when upgraded to a higher level, eventually evolved into a trait effect that gave him a chance to enter a state of sudden enlightenment.
This effect has not been triggered for some time.
However, while practicing swordsmanship after swallowing the Saint King Pill and entering a state of transcendence, he unconsciously entered a state of enlightenment.
As for the state of transcendence, it gave him an unprecedented experience.
It was as if the shackles of my brain had been broken, and a flash of inspiration struck, making my thoughts run many times faster than usual.
This was a field he had never ventured into before.
The combination of these two factors resulted in such a terrifying increase in his experience points.
"In that case, let's strike while the iron is hot! There are still two Saint King Pills left. Even if I can't trigger the enlightenment state, they can still help my swordsmanship break through another realm. Moreover, the accumulation of Source Points can also meet some of my current needs."
Having thought this through, he no longer hesitated.
He then took out the second Saint King Pill and swallowed it.
The pill entered the mouth, the cinnabar-like coating dissolved, and then it was swallowed. The familiar torrent swept through the body once again, the muscles and bones resounded like thunder, and the blood and qi surged like a river.
His listless body was like a deflated balloon being inflated; in just a moment, his physical condition returned to its peak.
During this process, the mind becomes clearer.
next moment.
Sword light flashed again in the courtyard, light and darkness shifting like the alternation of day and night, sword shadows layered upon each other, seemingly real yet illusory.
Each sword rank subtly harmonizes with the rhythm of heaven and earth, adding a touch of variation.

[Source point +2.9]
【.】
Time continued to pass, and Jiang Ning had entered a state of complete absorption.
Only after the effects of the medicine wore off and his muscles and bones felt weak did Jiang Ning sheathe his sword and stand still.
He looked at the panel again.
[Source Point]: 63.1
Compared to before, the increase in source points is still significant, reaching over sixty points, which meets the requirements for his breakthrough to the Vajra Indestructible Body.
Then he looked at the skills section.
[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Mastery 93777/100000)
"This time, there was no sudden enlightenment, but the increase of more than 20,000 experience points is exactly as expected!"
Looking at the experience points accumulated by the Taixu Yin Yang Sword, he felt no emotion.
This time, he did not enter a state of enlightenment despite being in a state of transcendence.
Therefore, the experience value obtained is completely incomparable to the previous one.
"But such efficiency is already quite astonishing; the Saint King Pill truly lives up to its name." He was certain of this.
Scanning the remaining experience points on the panel, the perfection of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword is within reach.
Then, I looked up at the sky.
As the sun gradually sets in the west, its glare fades, replaced by a slightly orange-red hue—a change that comes with the approach of evening.
"Strike while the iron is hot! Ji Xuan must have already come out of seclusion and met with Emperor Changning. He'll probably come looking for trouble at any time!"
Thinking about what he had seen during the day, he suddenly felt a bit more pressure.
Then, without stopping, he took out the last Saint King Pill.
As the pill entered his stomach, its immense medicinal power erupted once more, causing his blood and qi to boil, his muscles and bones to resonate, and his mind to become increasingly clear.
Sword light rose again in the courtyard, light and darkness intertwined, reality and illusion intertwined, and the profound mystery of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword became more and more perfect and free in his hands.
[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +1221]
[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +1303]
[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +1189]
【…】
As the sword flashed, experience points accumulated rapidly.
After a long while, the light on the sword in his hand suddenly changed.
The panel also changed accordingly.
[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Perfect 68/100000)
The Yin-Yang Sword of the Void, perfected!!
In an instant, countless insights flooded his mind, and countless flashes of inspiration vanished like stars.
The sword shadows in the courtyard also changed accordingly.
The black and white energies circulated in the courtyard.
It resembles both qi and sword, and is ever-changing.
Black and white figures were also present in various corners of the courtyard.
Black is ghostly, white is elusive.
next moment.
Countless streams of air converged towards his hand, flowing into the sword embryo in his hand.
Infused with the black and white energies, the longsword in his hand displayed a change between black and white.
Then Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, and black and white energy swirled in his pupils.
"The Taixu Yin-Yang Sword is actually a sword technique that uses the sword to attain enlightenment!"
As his swordsmanship reached perfection, he gained a clear understanding.
Before this sword technique was perfected, everything was related to swordsmanship.
However, once perfected, it is no longer just a simple sword technique, but involves the ultimate principles of the fundamental rules of heaven and earth.
The principles of space and yin-yang are profound.
This is a method of attaining enlightenment through the sword.
He understood.
In ancient times, it was an era when the path of immortality flourished.
In that era, great power originated more from heaven and earth.
The path to immortality is more about analyzing the profound principles of the rules of heaven and earth, and learning from heaven and earth.
All paths, though different, lead to the same destination: the Great Way of Heaven and Earth.
The Taixu Yin-Yang Sword originated from the swordsmanship of that era and was also influenced by the ideas of that era.
"Not bad at all!" he muttered to himself.
He raised his hand and waved it, and the sword energy burst forth like a waterfall. Yin and Yang energies burst forth from the sword embryo in his hand, like a torrent erupting.
This is the unity of Yin and Yang.
It is also a deadly move mastered by the Taixu Yin Yang Sword Master.
Under the unified energy of Yin and Yang, all things dissolve and nothing can stop them.
"With just this one sword strike, his strength has improved further, not to mention the ability to manipulate space."
A thought flashed through his mind, and he took a step forward.
next moment.
His figure suddenly disappeared in the courtyard.
At this moment, he felt as if he were independent of heaven and earth, quietly observing everything in the courtyard.
He looked up again, gazing into the distance.
Without resorting to any means, his eyes were completely unobstructed, allowing him to clearly see everything in front of him.
He saw Liu Wanwan busy in the kitchen, and his older brother Jiang Li chopping firewood in the kitchen.
Then, looking in another direction, he saw Su Qingying sitting cross-legged in the bamboo house, eyes closed and concentrating. (End of Chapter)
