Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

At the same time, Hao Yang looked at the enlightening gleam in Jiang Ning’s eyes and smiled faintly.

"Brother Dao, you must have already understood the authority of the Sequenced True Inheritance. To be honest, my previous gatherings were aimed at leveraging the status of Sequenced True Inheritance to consolidate the power of the Ten Domains’ true inheritance. Now that you’ve joined, our Heavens Alliance will become even more formidable! Perhaps one day, under our hands, the glory of the Ancient Era’s Immortal Sect will be restored!"

Jiang Ning stood within the Great Sun and nodded to Hao Yang: "What Brother Hao Yang says makes sense!"

In the next moment, he stepped out, exiting the coverage of that Great Sun, appearing beyond it.

The Great Sun he had just occupied moved, and an intangible energy spread, making it appear similar to before.

Upon closer inspection, one could feel that within this Great Sun, darkness and light coexisted, Taiyin and Taiyang were present, a mark of his will, traces of his own existence.

From now on, within the Inner Realm, his marks would always be present.

Once stirred, he could instantly descend here.

Subsequently, he looked down at the world below.

The ruins of broken buildings, the golden Yang Pool, the staircase disappearing into clouds and mist, and the seemingly unassuming Preaching Platform—all these unfolded before his eyes.

At this moment, having become a Day Master, being positioned among the top ten Sequenced True Inheritance, he was now one of the rulers of this realm.

Jiang Ning’s heart also became clear.

The last time Hao Yang True Inheritance achieved those incredible feats with such ease, it was precisely because in this Shangyang Inner Scenery, Sequenced True Inheritance itself was a part of the rule.

They were not guests, but one of the hosts.

"Brother Dao, having newly grasped authority, you must have feelings." Hao Yang True Inheritance’s voice carried a smile of understanding as he looked at Jiang Ning’s gaze and expression, "Having been positioned in the sequence, you can feel free to try anything."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning’s mind stirred slightly.

In the next moment, the vast sea of clouds surged and transformed.

Boom!

Before Jiang Ning and Hao Yang True Inheritance, the originally empty sea of clouds drastically altered its appearance!

Nine mighty Heavenly Palaces rose from nothing, glazed tiles acting as eaves, White Jade forming steps, rays of light in myriad colors, and auspicious energy in countless threads.

Each layer of the Heavenly Palaces emitted an ancient and solemn aura, Qiong Building and Jade Tower hidden amidst ethereal immortal clouds.

Ethereal and distant immortal music arose from the void, echoing between the Nine Heaven Spirits.

In the center of the highest Heaven Spirit, a massive Turquoise Pool emerged.

The water in the pool was clear like a mirror, reflecting the immortal light of the Heaven Spirit, golden lotus swayed within the pool, immortal energy rising.

Around the Turquoise Pool, meditation mats formed of pure spiritual light and Dao rhythm appeared out of thin air, arranged on both sides, as if waiting for immortals to sit.

This was precisely the scene Jiang Ning had envisioned in his mind: Nine Heaven Spirits, surrounded by celestial music, with immortals seated by the Turquoise Pool!

The entire process was fluid like clouds and flowing water, as if naturally generated by heaven and earth, without the slightest hindrance.

Jiang Ning felt no difficulty; his heart’s thoughts were easily drawn within moments.

"Great! Such a magnificent Nine Heaven Spirits and Turquoise Pool Immortal Gathering!" Hao Yang True Inheritance beheld the scene, his voice full of admiration and a trace of subtle complexity, "Brother Dao’s understanding and application of power is indeed so fast and ingenious! By stirring the origin of the Inner Scenery and manifesting the scene within his mind, with no trace of mortal turbidity, Yin Yang as the foundation, layers of profound light overlapping, Brother Dao’s Immortal Foundation should indeed be the Yin Yang Nine Profound Immortal Foundation, right?"

Hao Yang’s words seemed full of praise and compliment, yet subtly probing what kind of foundation Jiang Ning had established.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning stood below the Nine Heaven Spirits, black and white profound light flowing around him, and he glanced at Hao Yang faintly, without directly responding to Hao Yang’s probing intention.

Instead, he simply turned his mind, manifesting various visions, all dissipating like dreams and illusions.

"It was merely a fortuitous happenstance and a lucky achievement." Jiang Ning spoke calmly, neither denying nor acknowledging, simply shifting the topic, "Brother Hao Yang has long been positioned within the sequence, and surely your mastery of the Inner Realm surpasses mine by far. If there’s an opportunity in the future, I hope Brother can teach me generously."

When Hao Yang True Inheritance heard this, he smiled slightly, his moon-white Daoist robe gently swayed in the rosy glow: "Brother Dao is too modest. With Yin Yang as the foundation, one achieves the pinnacle existence among the top Immortal Foundation, which is indeed rare even when looking at the true inheritances throughout the generations of the Shangyang Immortal Sect. You and I are both Day Masters, and we should support each other and jointly explore the Dao."

He paused, his gaze piercing through the clouds, falling upon Jiang Ning, his tone becoming solemn: "Since Brother Dao has entered the Great Sun and joined the ranks of Day Masters, what title do you intend to use?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.

The matter of a title was something he had not deeply considered before.

Within the Shangyang Immortal Sect, for the Day Masters among the top ten Sequenced True Inheritance, each had a unique title to signify the foundation of their path.

He pondered briefly, a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind.

Relying on Yin Yang as his foundation, he had achieved the utmost superior Immortal Foundation.

Having also experienced the Nine Changes of Profound Light, his insights into the Dao were inseparable from Taiyin and Taiyang, and the sword he cultivated also involved Yin Yang.

Subsequently, he slowly spoke, "Let it be Xuan Yang."

"Xuan Yang..." Hao Yang True Inheritance repeated these two words, his eyes flickering, seemingly savoring the inherent implications, "Xuan, deep and profound. Yang, bright and blazing. Yin hidden within Yang, Yang containing Yin, it indeed aligns with Brother Dao’s path. A good title!!"

His tone carried a trace of genuine admiration as he continued, "Since you’ve entered the Great Sun, you must know that once all ten sequence positions are filled, it will be possible to initiate the opportunity to contest for the Great Sun Master. The singular inheritance position of the Sect Master, I wonder what Brother Dao thinks?"

Jiang Ning’s expression remained calm, speaking indifferently: "Opportunities come as they may. If there’s a chance, one will naturally strive for it. If not, forcing is futile."

Hao Yang True Inheritance chuckled, no longer continuing this topic.

Instead, he said, "Brother Dao, if you have time, you can visit our Da Chi Immortal Sect. We are both Day Masters, having achieved the Primordial Spirit Immortal realm, and leveraging the wondrousness of the Shangyang Inner Scenery, we can manifest before any place anchored by the true disciple within various worlds. Coincidentally, someone recently joined the Shangyang Immortal Sect and is positioned as true inheritance at my Da Chi Immortal Sect. Brother Dao may come and visit."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning’s eyes slightly narrowed, his mind whirling with thoughts.

Da Chi Immortal Sect, a name he had encountered in some ancient texts, though only in brief mentions, was an ancient Immortal Dao sect and had been exceptionally glorious during the Ancient Era. Its lineage was considerable because the ancient texts mentioned a term.

Tai Qing Realm Da Chi Heaven.

Looking at it now, though it had undergone a great calamity unknown to him, Da Chi Immortal Sect’s lineage still continued to this day, hidden within Cave Heaven Blessed Land, never truly revealed to the world.

Hao Yang True Inheritance presented the invitation, appearing polite on the surface, but perhaps it held ulterior motives.

Having reached this level, he wouldn’t naively assume everyone harbors goodwill towards him; he’s never scant to suspect malice.

Especially knowing that he and Hao Yang were actually competing for interests.

Once all ten True Inheritances are positioned, it will be possible to open the opportunity to contest for the Great Sun Master.

Although the Shangyang Immortal Sect is in ruins now, just the opportunity gained from the Preaching Platform is enough for him to realize the Shangyang Immortal Sect remains a tremendous opportunity.

If he rashly ventures to Da Chi Immortal Sect, even with the Shangyang Inner Scenery’s mystical assistance, allowing him to leave with a thought, he still cannot guarantee safety.

Jiang Ning’s mind was internally active, yet outwardly remained calm, slightly bowing to Hao Yang True Inheritance: "Brother Hao Yang generously invites, and I should readily visit. However, I’ve just entered the top ten sequence and still have many authorities to familiarize and comprehend. Once I’ve absorbed what I’ve gained, I will set aside time for a visit, and hope Brother can teach me generously then."

Hao Yang True Inheritance heard this without minding, smiling lightly: "What Brother Dao says is reasonable. Having newly grasped the Great Sun, requires time to settle indeed. Then I shall await at Tai Chi Heaven, patiently awaiting Brother Dao’s arrival."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Hao Yang True Inheritance’s figure gradually faded away, disappearing into the rosy glow.

Within the Inner Realm, only Jiang Ning remained, standing beneath the Nine Heaven Spirits, a Great Sun’s shadow slowly rotating behind him, exuding an aura of interwoven black and white light.

"Da Chi Immortal Sect... Tai Qing Realm Da Chi Heaven..." Jiang Ning murmured, a contemplative look in his eyes.
