Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

In the forest.

The blazing sun awakened this piece of heaven and earth.

The once silent mountain forest became vibrant with life.

From time to time, birds chirped, and occasionally, the roars of beasts could be heard.

Jiang Ning, after closing the panel, couldn't help but think of Li Sixiang from yesterday.

He knew well that even though Xiao Qiushui could no longer threaten him,

it couldn't be considered truly safe.

Those who do not plan for the future will have immediate troubles.

He did not want to find himself in a predicament in the future due to insufficient strength.

Currently, he was relatively stable in Dongling City, but the environment was not ideal.

In the Luoshui River, a Great Demon was causing chaos that even Ye Zhengqi couldn't subdue.

At Cross Immortal Gate, two Second Grade Grandmasters had emerged.

This would mean that the sect forces from Guangning Prefecture would completely overpower the court's official forces.

Whether it was ordinary martial officials or the Inspection Office, both would be affected.

The future of Guangning Prefecture would only be more turbulent.

Dongling County, located within Guangning Prefecture and not far from Cross Immortal Gate, couldn't possibly remain unaffected.

Additionally, the recent upheaval in Baisha County and Shen Wenyan's appointment aimed at completely eradicating the God Worship Sect—

the God Worship Sect had a resurrecting God backing it. If really provoked, who knows what might happen.

Previously, he thought that breaking through to Third Grade and becoming a Heavenly Human Grandmaster would suffice.

Now, the more he understood and saw, the less simple it seemed.

Even with the strength surpassing Xiao Qiushui, a Heavenly Human Grandmaster, he knew he couldn't rest easy.

Within the rank of Heavenly Human Grandmasters, there were both strong and weak ones.

The weak ones, newly entered, like Xiao Qiushui, had only completed one Blood Exchange, with little transformation of the flesh.

Thus, when he was close, he was able to suppress Xiao with his Undying Golden Body after Breaking the Limit, leading to Xiao's death.

But the strong ones were different.

Like Ye Zhengqi, who had undergone four Blood Exchanges, completed the path of Six Harmonies, and understood the mysteries of space.

His strength far surpassed Xiao Qiushui, and his flesh after four Blood Exchanges must have been incredibly formidable.

This was evident from yesterday's battle.

Taking a heavy hit from Li Sixiang, tearing the earth, with aftershocks as if an earth dragon was turning.

Yet despite such a heavy blow, Ye Zhengqi did not lose his ability to retaliate like Xiao Qiushui.

With a single sword strike, he briefly restricted Li Sixiang's freedom, then quickly left with Zhong Ling.

Such vitality is indeed astonishing.

And Ye Zhengqi was merely a Four Blood Exchanges Grandmaster.

Above, one could achieve up to Nine Blood Exchanges.

Among Heavenly Human Grandmasters, there were also those like Li Sixiang, a newly entered Second Grade Divine Realm Grandmaster, who easily defeated Ye Zhengqi.

Even the Vice Sect Leader Li Sixiang of Cross Immortal Gate was just a newly entered Second Grade Divine Realm Grandmaster.

Not to mention those First-grade above Second-grade.

Simply calculating, Jiang Ning saw countless great mountains standing majestically across the world.

He had not yet entered Third Grade or become a Grandmaster and was insignificant for now.

Then.

Jiang Ning collected his scattered thoughts.

He knew that as long as he stood firm and improved step by step, he would eventually become the highest mountain in the world.

...

The great sun slowly ascended.

A figure continuously practicing boxing in the forest.

Sometimes moving like a tiger, sometimes like a bear, or an ape...

This person was Jiang Ning.

Today, he did not plan to return.

Because it was still too early.

Going back to Dongling City before Zhao Yulong had no advantage for him.

So, he continued practicing boxing here, continuing to grind the Five Animals Fist Experience Value, consolidate Qi-Blood, strengthen his foundation, and increase his depth.

At the same time, he needed to practice boxing to consolidate Qi-Blood and aid in digesting the treasures obtained from the Water Moon Sword Palace, especially the Hundred Spirit Blood, Thousand Spirit Blood, and a small reserve of Ten Thousand Spirit Blood.

Originally, these should have been stored as sect foundations.

After all, these are aids to step into the Grandmaster level. Sects like Water Moon Sword Palace naturally need to prepare such important resources.

Even if not prepared for Xiao Qiushui, they must be prepared for the Sword Palace elders below her.

When a sect of this level produces any Grandmaster, it can elevate the sect's influence to the next level.

Now, these things had fallen into Jiang Ning's hands.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

After one round of boxing, Jiang Ning looked at the prompt before him and could not help but smile knowingly.

He then took out a blood vial containing Hundred Spirit Blood and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the blood entered his stomach, he could feel his thirsty body frantically absorbing the energy contained within.

The energy consumed during the recent consolidation of Qi-Blood was quickly replenished.

Then.

He continued practicing boxing.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[...]

...

In the blink of an eye.

It was already noon.

Jiang Ning stopped practicing boxing and slightly adjusted his state.

Then began Breathing and Releasing the Essence of the Great Sun.

The progress of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill concerned his achievement of being a Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

After returning, he would definitely need to prepare to step into Third Grade, to achieve the status of a Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

This journey allowed him to genuinely witness the importance of the Martial Arts Realm.

The path of Martial Arts, especially as it progressed.

The differences between each level were extremely striking.

Even someone as strong as Ye Zhengqi, a top Heavenly Human Grandmaster, had no power to fight back against Li Sixiang, a newly entered Second Grade Divine Realm Grandmaster.

And even within the same grade, the differences between small levels were also significant.
