Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

In this era, although born with Unity of Heaven and Man, easily reaching the Heavenly Human Unity Realm.

But limited by the times, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism is not abundant, and can only follow the path of Martial Arts.

With such a talent, only a fraction of its potential can be realized.

He silently shook his head and sighed.

At this moment.

Bai Luoyu turned his head to look in another direction.

Only to see Jiang Ning's upper body already appear in his view.

As the steps ascended, Jiang Ning slowly revealed his full appearance.

"Lord Jiang, come here!" Ye Zhengqi called and waved his hand.

The middle-aged man named Elder Zhong in the pavilion and the young girl immediately looked over upon hearing the voice.

The moment they saw Jiang Ning.

The girl's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, her mouth slightly open.

"Truly a young talent!" The middle-aged man named Elder Zhong praised.

Ye Zhengqi, hearing this, slightly smirked at the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Ning, as the Dongling County Patrol Envoy, and he as the Guangning Prefecture Residence Envoy.

Dongling County is under the jurisdiction of Guangning Prefecture, and Jiang Ning's Patrol Envoy banquet is hosted and presided over by him, so Elder Zhong's recognition of Jiang Ning made him secretly delighted.

"Greetings to Lord Ye!" Jiang Ning came to the pavilion, cupped his hands towards Ye Zhengqi.

"This is Elder Zhong!" Ye Zhengqi said.

Hearing this title, a touch of surprise flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.

Being addressed as Elder Zhong by someone like Ye Zhengqi, Jiang Ning knew this person was not simple.

Especially upon getting closer, the aura of the man named Elder Zhong was as thick as a mountain.

This further revealed this person's extraordinary nature.

And in appearance looking only about forty or fifty, yet was addressed by Ye Zhengqi as Elder Zhong.

Clearly, the actual age was much greater than Ye Zhengqi's, which was even more remarkable!

"Greetings to Elder Zhong!"

"Lord Jiang, come have a seat!" The middle-aged man named Elder Zhong said, gesturing for Jiang Ning to sit.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning then took a seat.

"Lord Jiang, do you know the background of Elder Zhong?" Ye Zhengqi asked.

"I do not know!" Jiang Ning shook his head: "Please, Lord Ye, enlighten me!"

Ye Zhengqi said: "When I was cultivating at the Daoist School, Zhong was already a leading figure, an existing Grandmaster, helping me greatly."

"Now, Elder Zhong also serves as a Patrol Envoy of the Five Mountains Prefecture."

Five Mountains Prefecture Patrol Envoy.

Hearing this title, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.

Five Mountains Prefecture, though next to Guangning Prefecture.

But such a vast place.

He did not expect this Patrol Envoy of the Five Mountains Prefecture to come all the way to Dongling County's Water Moon Sword Palace to attend Xiao Qiushui's Grandmaster banquet.

This was somewhat perplexing to him.

"Lord Ye and Elder Zhong, I have a question!" Jiang Ning suddenly spoke.

Ye Zhengqi and Elder Zhong glanced at each other upon hearing this.

"Lord Jiang, feel free to speak!" Elder Zhong said.

"Is Xiao Qiushui's achievement of Heavenly Human Grandmaster such a significant event to make Lord Zhong travel a long distance to attend Xiao Qiushui's Grandmaster banquet at the Water Moon Sword Palace?" Jiang Ning asked the question in his heart.

Elder Zhong chuckled lightly.

"The Heavenly Human Grandmaster, represents a different meaning! And this Xiao Qiushui, is somewhat special, having entered Third Grade, achieving Heavenly Human Grandmaster at just over forty!"

"With Xiao Qiushui's talent, decades later, there is a high probability he will be a Heavenly Human Grandmaster!"

"Of course, the main reason is to meet Brother Ye!"

"Back in the Daoist School, I was a leading figure, and Brother Ye had just joined, barely entering Fifth Grade back then!"

"And now, so many years have passed, I didn't expect Brother Ye has caught up with me!"

Speaking of this.

Elder Zhong's words and expression inevitably revealed some emotional sighs.

"This might be the big gap still existing between talents!"

"Elder Zhong, please don't flatter me to death!" Ye Zhengqi continued: "Who doesn't know that Elder Zhong has become the Five Mountains Heavenly Person, already a pinnacle powerhouse among Heavenly Human Grandmasters, soon to step into the Second Grade Great Grandmaster's level."

Elder Zhong shook his head.

"Although I completed five blood exchanges, achieving a true Five Mountains Celestial Person, your Six Harmonies is so intricate!"

"Harmonizing Heaven, Earth, and the Universe!"

"That is a path that can touch the mysteries of space."

"I have one more blood exchange than you, but if we really fight, the outcome might only remain undefeated."

Hearing this, Ye Zhengqi did not refute.

But slowly shook his head: "The Six Harmonies Celestial Person, only upon truly entering it does one realize how difficult it is to harmonize Heaven and Earth, these last two Harmonies!"

"In my lifetime, I do not know if I can truly comprehend the mysteries therein, achieving harmony between Heaven and Earth, and then stepping into the Second Grade."

"Elder Zhong is different from me, Second Grade is just a step away!"

"Entering Second Grade, Elder Zhong might live longer than me!"

Elder Zhong said: "I don't have such high aspirations as you, choosing Five Mountains as its intent is naturally simpler!"

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ning listening to the two's conversation, immediately understood many things in his mind.

Elder Zhong from Five Mountains County is an experienced Heavenly Human Grandmaster, and a Heavenly Human Grandmaster who completed five blood transfusions.

The age is probably not young either.

But having reached the peak of Heavenly Human for a long time, clearly only the last short step to entering the Second Grade Great Grandmaster level.

Once entering Second Grade, becoming a Second Grade Great Grandmaster.

Life level sublimation, lifespan will only extend by many years.

And Ye Zhengqi back then had ambitions set too high, choosing the Six Harmonies path harmonizing the four directions.

This path, although having greater potential and stronger power.

The difficulty is equally much higher.

Clearly Ye Zhengqi finding it truly finishing Six Harmonies and reaching the peak of Heavenly Human is not so simple.

But this is just his words.

As for the reality, perhaps only he knows.

Yet from the events happening to Ye Zhengqi, it made Jiang Ning ponder on how to choose his future path.

If setting the goal lower, using his talent and accumulation, he could quickly reach the peak of Heavenly Human, thus stepping into the Second Grade Great Grandmaster category.

If setting the goal higher, naturally this path contains many obstacles, not a single smooth path.

Time needed is also much more.

The falling Great Xia, he does not know when real chaos will erupt.

The more he understands, the more he realizes that this world will fall into chaos.

Perhaps no one can avoid getting involved.

This world's depths are too deep.

Even achieving Heavenly Human Grandmaster, he does not feel assured to rest easy.

As his thoughts drifted.

He grabbed a pastry on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

From the moment he woke up until now, he hadn't eaten a drop.

At this moment.

Elder Zhong's voice interrupted Jiang Ning's thoughts again.

"Ling'er, can you discern the immortal root qualification of this Lord Jiang?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning woke from his reflections.

He couldn't help but look at the young girl standing behind Elder Zhong.

The young girl with a pleasing appearance, clearly from a wealthy family.

Not particularly tall, or perhaps on the short side.

Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, the young girl's face slightly flushed.

Then she said, "Grandpa Xuan, I can see it!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's eyes were even more extraordinarily surprised.

Immortal root, he had heard it mentioned countless times.

He also knew that he possessed decent talent in this aspect.

If placed in ancient times, with his immortal root qualifications, he would have fared quite well.

But he did not know specifics of this qualification.

Now from the conversation between Elder Zhong and his great-granddaughter, a clear conclusion could be drawn.

Elder Zhong's great-granddaughter seems to have unusual abilities, able to see others' immortal root qualifications.

"Ling'er sees that this Lord Jiang's immortal root light is like a great sun suspended in the sky!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man named Elder Zhong and Ye Zhengqi both showed changes in expression.

"A great sun suspended?"

"A great sun suspended?"

Their tone contained deep surprise.

"Yes, like a great sun suspended!" The young girl nodded affirmatively.

Hearing the affirmation from his great-granddaughter, Elder Zhong's gaze towards Jiang Ning carried deep regret.

Ye Zhengqi's gaze was equally filled with regret.

"What does this imply?" Jiang Ning asked, with a faint guess in his mind.

Ye Zhengqi said: "Lord Jiang, this great-granddaughter of Elder Zhong, named Zhong Ling's physique is special, and she can easily see the light of everyone's immortal root, thereby discerning the potential of individuals on the Immortal Dao path."

Then, he pointed to himself.

"Do you know what my immortal root qualification is in Miss Zhong Ling's eyes?"

"I don't know!" Jiang Ning shook his head.

"Like starlight brilliance!" Ye Zhengqi said.

"In my great-granddaughter's eyes, merely like the light of a grain of rice!" Elder Zhong also spoke.
