Chapter 908 The Transcendence of the True Spirit, Stepping into the River of Time!
Lishui Imperial Palace.
Jiang Ning's gaze fell on the last two rare and precious materials.
A box made of ice and jade, a piece of amber.
His gaze first fell on the icy jade box.
Although the jade box was tightly sealed, he could still feel the intense heat contained within it.
This contrasts sharply with the coldness emanating from the jade box itself.
Then, he reached out and lifted the lid of the box.
boom--
Flames seemed to rise in the air, and a scorching heat rushed towards us.
He looked closely and saw a bright red Ganoderma lucidum lying quietly in the box.
The roots of the Ganoderma lucidum are curled up like dragon whiskers, and there are faint red flame patterns flowing on the cap of the mushroom, radiating waves of heat.
"Good stuff!" He looked at the red Ganoderma lucidum in front of him with satisfaction.
With just one glance, he could sense the immense and turbulent energy contained within it.
He then reached out, picked it up, and put it directly into his mouth.
He opened the jade box and put the red Ganoderma lucidum inside into his mouth.
The Ganoderma lucidum melts in your mouth, turning into a hot, warm current that slides down your throat and into your stomach.
In an instant, this warm current suddenly erupted within his body, bursting forth like a volcanic eruption.
A fiery and violent energy surged within him, his blood boiled, his body burned, and glowed red.
He immediately calmed his mind, circulated his qi and blood, and refined this powerful and violent energy.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
[Source point +20.2]
"good!!"
Looking at the source point prompt that appeared before him, he nodded in satisfaction once again.
The growth brought to his source points exceeded twenty, which deepened his source point accumulation.
His gaze then fell on the last treasure.
A piece of amber.
The amber is translucent, with a single drop of crimson blood sealed inside, radiating an even more alluring red glow under the sunlight.
"A drop of the essence blood of a powerful beast!" The thought flashed through his mind. "I wonder if refining this drop of essence blood can help me break through the two hundred mark of Origin Points? In terms of increasing Origin Points, acquired treasures are always less effective than treasures contained in nature."
He muttered to himself, then pinched the amber between his fingertips and applied slight pressure.
click-
Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the amber, which then crumbled inch by inch.
The crimson, alluring drop of blood broke free from its restraints and hovered in mid-air, radiating an intense aura of power.
It was an aura of domineering ferocity, carrying a violent pressure.
In an instant, he sensed a fierce tiger with pure white fur, lightning-like eyes on its forehead, and wings on its back pouncing towards him.
The gaping maw looked as if it wanted to swallow him whole.
at the same time.
The drop of blood essence seemed to possess its own will; it suddenly moved, transformed into a crimson stream of light, and entered his mouth.
boom--
The moment his essence and blood entered his body, he felt an incomparably violent will surge into his mind.
Within his spiritual realm, the lingering spirit of an ancient ferocious tiger manifested, roaring and lunging at him.
The ferocious tiger had thunderous eyes on its forehead and spread its wings on its back. Its aura was so overwhelming that it wanted to completely crush his consciousness and take its place.
"Hmph!" Jiang Ning snorted coldly, and suddenly golden light shone brightly in his spiritual platform.
The primordial spirit sat cross-legged in the void, its left eye radiating the sun and its right eye radiating the clear moon. The yin and yang energies intertwined and flowed, transforming into an invisible barrier that firmly suppressed the fierce will.
The ferocious tiger roared in resentment, struggling to break free of its restraints, but it was defeated step by step by this vast divine pressure.
"You mere remnant soul dares to be so presumptuous before me!" Jiang Ning shouted.
A burst of light suddenly erupted from his primordial spirit, like the sun descending, radiating boundless golden light and instantly burning away the remnant spirit of the ferocious tiger.
As the lingering resentment dissipated, it transformed into a pure spiritual energy, which then nourished and merged into Jiang Ning's spiritual platform.
Within the physical body, the energy of that drop of essence blood also began to erupt completely.
Blood surged through my body like magma, and my muscles and bones trembled.
He felt that every inch of his body was being reshaped and tempered. At this moment, it was as if countless invisible hands were pounding his bones and stretching his tendons.
Crimson lines appeared on the skin's surface, crisscrossing like tiger stripes, before slowly disappearing as the blood and qi circulated.
After a long while, he let out a long breath.
The turbid air, like an arrow, pierced the surface of the lake, creating splashes three feet high.
He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. Compared to before, his aura was less gentle and more domineering.
That was the aura contained in the blood essence of the ferocious tiger, which still lingered on his body.
He looked down at his hands, gently clenched his fists, and a crisp popping sound came from his knuckles.
He could clearly feel that his physical strength had been enhanced by this drop of essence blood, making his bones and muscles more resilient and his blood and qi more abundant.
[Source point +16.5]
"An incredible growth rate!" He was secretly surprised as he looked at the notification that appeared before him.
Based on his previous experiments, for the same value, the acquired products of essence and blood contributed far less to the growth of his Origin Point than those natural treasures nurtured by heaven and earth.
The fact that this drop of essence blood could bring him so much growth in source points has far exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought that it would only bring a single-digit increase in source points at most.
In reality, they are almost catching up with the other four rare and precious materials.
"No wonder this drop of essence blood has such a great effect!" He clenched his fist again, feeling the surging power within his body.
Under the influence of this drop of essence blood, he could feel a significant increase in the strength of his physical body.
For him now, any noticeable improvement that he can feel is extremely rare.
Because his foundation was too solid, his physical body was already extremely strong.
Given such a high baseline, any significant improvement in physical sensation would have to be substantial.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he looked at the panel again, looking at the Source Point column.
[Source Point]: 199.2
"It's a pity, I'm still a little short of breaking the two hundred mark!" he muttered to himself.
I felt a little disappointed, but I wasn't discouraged.
Because his gains today have already been considerable.
Five kinds of rare and precious materials temper the body, nourish life force, and enhance mental and physical strength.
The progress made in half a day of practice can be equivalent to a year and a half of arduous practice for others, or even more.
Then, he looked up at the horizon.
The sun had long passed its zenith and was gradually beginning to set in the west.
He glanced at it, then looked away, trying to clear his mind.
"Now that we have enough source points, it's time to continue our breakthrough using the Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method!"
"The experience points of the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method are complete. With my current accumulation of source points, I can break through the limit again, thereby causing my spiritual power to surge once more."
"Based on my current cultivation level and observation efficiency, it will take me a little over a day to complete the progress of experience points."
After making a decision, he didn't delay any longer.
He sat down cross-legged again, focused his mind on his spiritual practice, and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
Above the waterside pavilion, the figure fell silent once more, merging with the heavens and earth. The chirping of insects and birds by the lake gradually subsided into tranquility, as if even this world did not wish to disturb the cultivator who was ascending to a higher level.
That night.
He interrupted his meditation and went home for dinner.
It was late at night.
The soft, melodious sounds gradually rose again from Lin Qingyi's courtyard.
The following evening, a red sun slowly sank into the lake.
Thousands of golden scales are reflected on the lake surface.
time flies.
The sun continued to slowly sink.
As the last rays of sunlight completely sank into the lake, the world returned to the silence of twilight.
On the waterside pavilion, Jiang Ning sat cross-legged like a stone, his body radiating a faint, hazy glow.
The radiance did not bring any brightness to the surroundings, but it allowed people across the lake, through the lush trees, and through the towering buildings to feel his presence.
Within the spiritual platform, the primordial spirit sat upright in the void, and countless fragments of true spirit, like white specks of light, appeared out of thin air in the depths of the spiritual platform, and then flowed into his primordial spirit like rivers flowing into the sea.
With each fusion, the radiant glow surrounding his primordial spirit became more real, and his aura became more transcendent.
Finally, the moment arrived.
As he looked at the progress of his experience points, which was already at a perfect level, a thought suddenly struck him.
In an instant.
The source flowed out like a flood.
boom!!
Within the mind, a roar resounded, as if an invisible barrier had shattered in an instant.
A vast and boundless spiritual force erupted from the depths of the primordial spirit, sweeping across the entire spiritual space like a tidal wave.
Within the spiritual platform, the silver flower bloomed completely at this moment, radiating brilliant light and illuminating the entire platform as if it were daytime.
Then, one piece, two pieces.
Two petals slowly increased, gradually bloomed, solidified, and appeared on the silver flower.
In an instant, the flower bloomed with nine petals, each petal being one of nine.
At this moment, Jiang Ning's consciousness was also being elevated infinitely, as if he had broken free from the shackles of his physical body and the constraints of space, and was rushing straight into an indescribable dimension.
He saw a river.
It is not a river in the ordinary sense, but a long river woven from endless time, infinite cause and effect, and the past, present, and future.
The river flows on and on, each wave a fleeting moment, each ripple a magnificent historical trace.
Countless lights and shadows floated and sank in the river, fragments of all spirits, mixed with the past and the future.
Seeing this scene before him, he naturally gained a lot of knowledge in that instant.
Countless people explained and elaborated on it to him, and he naturally learned a lot about the existence of this long river.
At that moment, he knew that he had truly seen the true face of the river of time that had been repeatedly recorded in ancient books.
It is no longer an illusory projection, nor a reflection of spiritual perception, but the very river of time that truly exists in a higher dimension!
He stood in the river, in the dim water.
All around were golden sands as numerous as billions of stars.
He looked at the golden sand around him, which was relatively still, level, and undisturbed by him.
A great terror and a sense of crisis arose in his heart.
He knew that if he made any movement at this moment, he would break this state.
It is relatively still and parallel to the golden sand in the river, in a state of non-interference.
He will be struck and impacted by the golden sand.
It will be inevitable!
Because the amount of golden sand mixed in the river was so great, it was like the stars in the sky, numbering in the hundreds of millions.
Any movement will inevitably result in a collision.
He knew that if he were to encounter it, he would instantly perish, his true spirit would dissipate, and he would be reborn into the river of time.
Although he had tried it himself and never seen it, he had no doubt about the feeling in his heart.
Because of his arrival here, a lot of information naturally came to mind.
He stood in the river of time, looking at everything around him, watching the bubbles appear in the water, and countless images flashed before his eyes.
That's what's happening somewhere, right now.
The golden sand around him floated like billions of stars, and he dared not make a move.
That's a force he can't contend with now.
Every collision will only have one outcome.
The true spirit dissipates, the body dies and the Dao vanishes, all that has passed is vanity.
He carefully sensed everything around him, knowing that this was something an ordinary person could never experience in a lifetime.
The long river of time recorded in ancient books.
The origin of heaven and earth, the origin of the world, and the meaning of everything that exists today are all due to the existence of this long river of time.
At this moment, he was in a state of relative stillness with everything around him.
After a long while.
He felt a wave of exhaustion, and his mind went blank for a moment, as if he had fallen from the highest heavens.
His consciousness quickly receded, and the vast and boundless river of time before him receded like the tide. The golden sand and countless lights and shadows blurred in his vision and then disappeared.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
Before his eyes was the familiar Lishui Imperial Palace pavilion. The last rays of twilight had sunk into the lake, replaced by a crescent moon hanging in the sky. The silvery moonlight shone through the eaves of the pavilion, casting dappled shadows on him.
call--
He exhaled a long breath, feeling an unprecedented clarity in his mind. His spirit spread like a tide, covering the entire island and even crossing the lake to reach the patrolling guards and palace servants in the distance.
It then covered the entire capital and spread outwards.
Official roads, post stations, ancient forests, high mountains, rivers, and cities.
They are all presented in his spiritual world.
"Is this the spiritual realm after breaking through the limit for the seventh time?" he muttered to himself, his gaze then falling on the panel.
[Skill]: Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method (Seven Limit Breaks 6/80000) (Characteristics: True Self Unique [Deep Gold], Insight into True Spirit [Deep Purple], Three Elements United [Light Gold], Foresight [Deep Purple], Spiritual Wisdom [Deep Purple])
【The True Self is One】: Past lives and the past exist only in the present. The true spirit is not obscured, the true spirit is immortal, the true self is one.
At that moment, he looked at the instructions on the panel, his eyes thoughtful.
The scene from just now flashed through his mind.
That incredibly real river of time, those golden grains that filled him with immense fear.
"Was everything that just happened because of the enhancement of this trait? Or was it just my imagination?"
A thought flashed through his mind.
He then slowly closed his eyes and focused on himself.
Deep inside, an indescribable sense of weariness welled up inside me.
That feeling of exhaustion came from the deepest part of him, something he had never experienced before.
After a long while.
He opened his eyes, his gaze filled with deep weariness.
But amidst the exhaustion, there was an indescribable excitement.
Because at this moment he was certain that everything that had just happened was not a hallucination.
That was his recent personal experience, his past. (End of Chapter)
