Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

As long as time is enough, he believes he will eventually reach the day when he becomes invincible.

By then, whether facing Han Qiu of the Qingyang Sect, or encountering Prince Huaian, there would be no need to evade as before.

This trait of turning calamity into fortune obviously invisibly enhances his security, providing him with a more stable environment and safer development time.

If it were in his past life, he would not have believed in the concept of luck, nor in any mysterious explanations of turning calamity into fortune.

But in this life, having witnessed so much, he no longer denies the existence of things he hasn't understood.

With the protection of the Seven Elements Star Lord, bringing the blessing of turning calamity into fortune, he does not think it is illusory.

Great Xia, Nine States, Cave Heaven Blessed Land, Ten Domains, Shangyang Immortal Sect...

The more he knows, the more he understands how insignificant he is.

A moment later.

He calmed his turbulent heart and continued to practice his swordsmanship.

The breakthrough in swordsmanship, the enhancement of talent, is a huge improvement for him.

Especially the growth of his talent in the Sword Dao directly impacts his efficiency in comprehending the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

At the same time, he also feels his Demon Suppression Sword Intent continuously growing.

The boiling Sword Intent makes him almost reach the level of Heavenly Person.

Reaching the rules with Sword Intent, connecting with Heavenly Person, can trigger the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism, allowing him to undergo the seventh blood exchange.

The sword light rolls like a tide, and the sharp aura instantly fills all around him.

At this moment.

The clouds above his head slowly disperse.

The bright moonlight spills everywhere, illuminating the roads in Dongling City as if it were daylight.

The stars in the night sky also emerge.

Each star twinkles in the high sky.

But if you seriously gaze at the starry sky, you can see the Big Dipper shining brighter than usual.

The occasionally flickering starlight seems like eyes blinking.

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +5]

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +6]

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +6]

[...]

After practicing the sword technique once more, Jiang Ning sheathed his sword and stood, making slight adjustments.

Looking at the current sharp reduction in the efficiency of gaining experience value, his heart remains undisturbed.

He understands that the more breakthroughs in swordsmanship, the harder it naturally becomes to gain experience value.

Fortunately, an increase of five or six points already leaves him very satisfied.

It greatly exceeds his expectations.

If it were like the Five Animals Fist, where practicing once only gains one experience value, that would truly be a headache for him.

Compared to the Five Animals Fist, the frequency of gaining experience from the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword is much lower.

Now, such rapid growth relies entirely on the enhancement of his Sword Dao talent.

He can imagine that after breaking through once or twice more, the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword will not have such an efficient acquisition speed.

By then, it might be similar to the Five Animals Fist, gaining only one point of related experience value after practicing once.

From the process of practicing the sword these days, and the changes in derived traits.

He also understands that the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword is outstanding among superior martial arts.

At the same level, there are differences between higher and lower quality.

Between intricacy and simplicity.

Without a doubt, the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword is exceptionally intricate among superior martial arts.

He is not surprised by this.

After all, this sword technique comes from Wang Xuan.

And Wang Xuan is a True Disciple of the Qingyang Cave Heaven of the Qingyang Sect.

As a True Disciple of the Qingyang Sect, how could the martial arts in his hands be ordinary?

After pondering for a moment, he continued to practice his swordsmanship.

...

In the following time, he did nothing but practice his sword in the courtyard.

He only learned about Prince Huaian's departure when Bai Luoyu visited.

"Brother Jiang is truly diligent!" Looking at Jiang Ning's gaze like a sharp sword, Bai Luoyu marveled greatly.

Only upon seeing Jiang Ning today did he realize that Jiang Ning hadn't stepped out, and was practicing his sword at home all this time.

Such diligence left him tongue-tied.

He considered himself already a model of hard work, but found that compared to Jiang Ning, he could only be described as lazy.

Looking at Jiang Ning now, his heart was filled with admiration.

High talent does not impress him, as he has seen many people with talent above his.

However, not many could achieve a higher martial arts accomplishment than him.

The main factor is that many of them squandered their innate talents.

This phenomenon is even more apparent among the scions of noble families.

Living in luxury, having outstanding family backgrounds, it's difficult to engrain martial arts deep into their bones.

Too many temptations, few can completely resist.

Especially when young, this is even more so; it's just human nature.

But in Jiang Ning, he sees no sign of related slack and negligence, nor much indulgence.

He understands this is due to their different backgrounds.

Born at the bottom, facing hardships, grabbing a shred of hope leads to an explosive release of all potential.

However, such characters usually, upon crossing into a higher class, and gaining the right to enjoy life, would rapidly fall into decadence.

This decadence is more exaggerated than that of noble scions.

As if in vengeful enjoyment of things previously unreachable.

Yet, he doesn't see this happening in Jiang Ning.

Instead, he finds that even having come this far, far ahead of him, Jiang Ning has never slackened in the slightest.

These days more than ever.

Meanwhile.

Facing Bai Luoyu's sigh, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

"I don't want to one day regret not working harder in the past!"

Hearing this, Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning.

"Didn't Prince Huaian secretly make a move against you?"

Jiang Ning replied, "It wasn't really a move, just a covert intimidation."

"Covert intimidation!" Bai Luoyu sighed, then said, "No wonder Brother Jiang has been so diligent lately."

With those words, he stood up immediately.

"Brother Jiang, I'll head back first, not to disturb your practice and comprehension of Sword Intent! Someday, I hope to hear of your martial myth achievements, and bask in your glory."

A moment later.

After sending Bai Luoyu out of the mansion, Jiang Ning returned to his courtyard to practice his sword again.

...

In the blink of an eye.

A few days passed.

Jiang Ning sheathed his sword and stood, looking at the panel again.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword+ (Four Break Limits 5000/5000) (Traits: Sword Heart Clarity (Deep Blue) Demon Extermination (Deep Green) Fortune in Calamity (Light Blue))

"Phew—"

He exhaled a long breath: "Finally filled the progress again!"

The next moment.

His gaze swept to the Source Energy Points section.

[Source Energy]: 65011

Compared to a few days ago, the Source Energy Points have slightly increased.

About this, he understands.

The heart of the tree from Shangyang Grotto Heaven is still in his stomach. Although he hasn't refined it, the body's natural absorption also brings a slight increase in Source Energy Points.

"Relying on the intricacies of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword, I hope this breakthrough will let my Sword Intent reach the level of connecting with a Heavenly Person!"

Looking at his panel, he murmured to himself.

Then with a sudden stir of his mind.

The Source Energy Points began to jump rapidly.

[Source Energy]: 64011 (65011→64011)

In an instant, the Source Energy Points reduced by a thousand.

Afterward, he closed his eyes slightly.

Buzz!!!

The Sword Intent around him surged violently.

In his mind.

He suddenly saw seven large stars suspended above his head.

The stars ancient and vast.

A single star easily occupies his sight.

A star hangs overhead, emitting faint purple starlight.

At this moment, he resonated with the seven stars, feeling the countless imprints and information they carried through time.

Outside.

His Sword Intent grew even more intense.

The grass bent on the courtyard ground now stands like sharp swords pointing to the sky.

...

On another side.

Zhao Yulong looked up towards Jiang Ning's location.

"What formidable Sword Intent!!" A strong look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

Though he hadn't visited Jiang Ning's mansion these days, he knew Jiang Ning hadn't stepped out and was practicing an extremely profound sword technique at home.

Now feeling the sudden surge of Sword Intent from Jiang Ning's position, he understood Jiang Ning had achieved something.

That Sword Intent connecting with heaven and earth is the best proof.

....

"Brother Jiang truly succeeded!"

Bai Luoyu looked toward Jiang Ning's courtyard hundreds of meters away, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and continued to practice his sword.

Since returning from Jiang Ning's home last time, he had been deeply inspired by Jiang Ning.

These days, he has been more diligent in martial arts than ever.

With Jiang Ning's current achievements being so diligent, he felt he had no right to slack off.
