Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Noon.

The sun blazes high.

In Jiang Ning's yard, it's eerily quiet at this moment, with an oppressive atmosphere lingering in the air.

Not even the sound of birds or insects can be heard from the surrounding yards.

At this point, ripples seem to be stirring in the void.

On the lake's surface.

Suddenly, a seven-colored Dragon Carp emerges from the water.

Its gold-red scales shimmer with brilliance under the sunlight.

The next moment.

Buzz!

A sudden sound of sword resonance echoes in the void.

A long sword then rises into the air, floating a few feet above the ground, constantly vibrating.

On the other side.

Hundreds of meters away in Bai Luoyu's mansion.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

The long sword on the stone table keeps vibrating.

Bai Luoyu immediately retracts his gaze from Jiang Ning's location and looks at the long sword on the stone table.

At this moment, the long sword quivers as if affected by some force, ready to unsheathe at any moment.

Seeing this, Bai Luoyu swiftly leaps.

In an instant, he arrives at the stone table.

"Clang!"

He draws the sword from its sheath and immediately feels it violently shaking in his hand.

He can sense an invisible force guiding the sword in his hand, the source of which is the direction where Jiang Ning is located.

"Such astonishing Sword Intent! Is this the Heaven-human connection through Sword Intent?"

Looking at the trembling sword in his hand, Bai Luoyu murmurs, his face revealing a look of surprise.

He then grips the sword tightly and looks towards Jiang Ning, his eyes unconsciously revealing a touch of envy.

He understands that the Heaven-human connection through Sword Intent allows the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism to enter the body, and achieving Fourth Grade Perfection means stepping into the Third Grade Heavenly Person Grandmaster Realm.

This will enable Jiang Ning to undertake another blood transformation.

"With Brother Jiang's talent, perhaps he truly could achieve the martial myth!" Bai Luoyu murmurs, looking in Jiang Ning's direction.

At that moment.

The constantly vibrating sword in his hand suddenly calms down.

...

East courtyard.

The previously almost solidified air now flows again, and the sound of insects and birds returns from all directions.

Jiang Ning slowly opens his eyes.

He lifts his hand to summon the sword hovering in mid-air, which immediately transforms into a sword light and returns to his hand.

Buzz!!!

The sword in his hand hums softly, and immediately waves of air surge, causing the grass and trees to bow, falling in all directions.

The explosive Sword Intent reaches the Heaven-human connection Realm.

"I've done it!!" A smile instantly appears on his face.

With the Sword Intent reaching the Heaven-human connection Realm, he can complete the seventh blood transformation.

Thinking of this.

He gives simple instructions to Linglong in the lake before his figure moves and disappears from the courtyard.

...

A moment later

Jiang Ning arrives in the depths of the Dongling Mountain Range.

Ancient forests tower all around, green trees form a canopy, yet beside him is a lake like jade and emerald.

The lake is calm and motionless, like a perfectly smooth mirror.

No large trees exist within a few feet nearby, allowing sunlight to easily fall on the lake's edge.

"This is a great place!!" Jiang Ning surveys the surrounding environment and layout, then nods in satisfaction.

Then, he looks at his status panel.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword (Five times Break Limit 7/6000) (Trait: Sword Heart Clarity (Dark Blue) Execute Evil (Dark Green) Turn Misfortune into Fortune (Light Blue) Seven Star Lamp (Light Purple))

[Seven Star Lamp (Light Purple)]: Capture starlight as the core, Three Souls and Seven Spirits as the oil, thus it becomes the Seven Star Lamp.

Light Purple??

Seeing the trait's derived level indication, Jiang Ning's expression becomes surprised.

Purple level is, to date, the highest level among all his derived traits.

"Seven Star Lamp!"

Looking at the annotation on the panel, he murmurs again.

Scanning the complete annotation, he still feels puzzled.

The panel's explanation for this trait is not straightforward.

But from the dozen words of explanation, he can roughly discern that this is a trait used for desperate situations.

Capturing starlight as the core, based on the trait's name, he can roughly infer that the so-called core is the lamp core.

The Three Souls and Seven Spirits as oil, unquestionably means burning his Three Souls and Seven Spirits as lamp oil.

This shows this is a divine skill method that burns his Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

As for the consequences, although he hasn't tried it, he can imagine it wouldn't lead to a good outcome.

Igniting the Three Souls and Seven Spirits would inevitably cause him great harm.

"Cannot attempt, and no need to attempt!" Looking at this new trait, he immediately shakes his head, having silently made a decision in his heart.

Unless in a desperate situation, he should not attempt this.

Afterward, he closes the panel and grips the sword in his hand.

"The swordsmanship has broken through, but the talent hasn't grown; I don't yet know how efficient it is to gain Experience Value post-breakthrough."

As the thought flashed through his mind, he began practicing the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword.

As the sword strikes move, the surrounding calm is suddenly broken.

Waves rise sharply on the lake surface, surrounding vegetation lifts.

Instantly, threads of Sword Intent fill every inch of space around, turning it into a deadly ground for ordinary living beings.

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +2]

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +1]

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +1]

After merely one run-through of swordsmanship, he stops.

"The efficiency of gaining Experience Value has plummeted too quickly!" He furrows his brow involuntarily.

He remembers that each time a prompt appeared before breakthrough, it brought an increase of about five or six points of Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value.

Now the breakthrough is complete, the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword has reached its sixth limit break.

Each time relevant swordsmanship Experience Value acquisition is directly reduced to one or two points.

In light of the demand for six thousand Experience Points, this rate suddenly seems insignificant.
