Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Dongling Marquis Mansion.

Beside the ancient pine by the lake.

It is now morning, sunlight falls on the lake like golden splendor.

As the breeze blows, the lake surface sparkles with ripples.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword+ (Perfection 100000/100000)

"The breakthrough conditions are met. This confirms my previous guess was correct. Although the Taixu Yin Yang Sword is of high grade, the required Source Energy Points should still be within a reasonable range." Jiang Ning’s thoughts flashed as he looked at the skill section of the panel.

Then, his gaze fell on the Source Energy Points section.

[Source Points]: 173.1

"Next, let’s break through!" The thought flashed through his mind.

Then his mind moved.

In an instant.

The Source Energy Points rapidly decreased, a full hundred points, like a hundred rivers converging into the sea, were poured into the bottomless breakthrough progress of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

Subsequently, there was no earth-shattering roar, no violent energy leakage; all the changes occurred within the sea of awareness.

In the depths of his awareness, countless sword principles converged, forming numerous pathways, he saw a dazzling sword, emanating a bright white light, beginning to condense in his sea of consciousness.

With the enlightenment of the sword principles, the brilliance of the Sword Dao flickered like a tide, and the "Heart Sword" in his sea of consciousness became more solid and tangible.

Every strand of Sword Dao enlightenment pouring in made the sword in his heart more solid, the flashing light more brilliant white.

A long time later.

When the brilliant white light reached its peak, endless dazzling sword light filled every part of his heart, every corner of his sea of consciousness.

Omnipresent, omnipervasive, leaving no hiding place.

Under the illumination of the endless brilliant white sword light, he "saw" himself.

Both the physical body and the Primordial Spirit.

The sword light was like a mirror, reflecting every subtle fluctuation in the depths of his Primordial Spirit, every thread of Dao rhythm flowing.

Reflecting every subtlety within the physical body, every cell, he saw things that he could not see before now revealed under his sword light.

A flame, a dark red crystal.

He knew in an instant that the flame was the Authority from Wang Qintan.

And the dark red crystal was the Authority mastered by the God of Flesh he had slain.

At this moment, he could feel that as long as he wanted, these two Authorities could be cut off from himself, stripped out of his body.

"Not in a hurry!"

The thought flashed through his mind.

The Authority of Flesh, augments his current strength.

And he still needs this augmentation now.

Then, the panel appeared before his eyes.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (One Break Limit 48347/200000) (Trait: Heart Sword (Pale Gold))

[Heart Sword (Pale Gold)]: The Heart Sword takes shape, reflecting oneself, reflecting the external world.

Looking at the trait on the panel, Jiang Ning felt his Heart Spirit was clear and bright.

The previously vague and indistinct bottlenecks in cultivation, the subtle disharmonies in the operation of Cultivation Technique, became clear and visible under the reflection of the "Sword Heart," even instinctively deducing directions for adjustment and optimization.

Not only the Sword Dao, but even the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, Vajra Immortal Body, and other cultivation techniques’ practice, previously sluggish, seemed to clear up under this "Heart Sword" light.

With a slight movement of his mind, a strand of Sword Intent rose from his Primordial Spirit, not released, but instead "observed" internally.

In an instant, the circulation of Qi-Blood, the flow of True Yuan, the strength and coordination at every point of muscles, bones, and skin-membrane, even the balance state of Yin and Yang Qi in the Primordial Spirit, all appeared like an extraordinarily detailed painting in front of the "Heart Sword."

He glanced over his internal and external self, instantly understanding.

Sword Heart is not just a reflection of the Sword Dao, but also a clear mirror for one’s cultivation.

By seeing oneself clearly, one can address gaps and solidify the Dao Foundation.

With this trait, he knew his cultivation efficiency of various techniques would certainly rise.

He slowly opened his eyes, in his pupils, a flash of sword light appeared then disappeared swiftly.

Looking up, every leaf vein of the old pine, every ripple on the lake surface, the trajectory of floating dust in the air, all became exceptionally clear in his perception.

He could even see their most subtle structures and energy flows, seeing how all things in heaven and earth were in mutual traction.

All things in the world exist in an invisible net.

And this insight wasn’t merely an enhancement of vision, but resulted from the "Sword Heart’s" reflection of the intrinsic states of worldly existence.

"Heart Sword, pale gold trait. As expected, it is truly the ability derived from a high-grade cultivation technique’s Break Limit." Jiang Ning nodded inwardly.

He knew that with this trait’s support, his subsequent cultivation path would proceed more smoothly, his foundation could be honed to be even more perfect and solid.

Then, he scanned the panel again, looking at the experience value required for the next Break Limit of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

Two hundred thousand.

While it is a massive number.

But with the Heart Sword’s support, the efficiency of comprehending any cultivation technique would surely increase, coupled with the growth in enlightenment and thinking speed brought by reaching the realm of the Immortal, the progression of cultivation techniques was no longer a problem for him now.

He knew that the bigger issue was the accumulation of Source Points.

As the thought flashed through his mind, he once again glanced at the Source Points column on the panel.

[Source Points]: 73.1

After the breakthrough of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword, a full one hundred points were consumed, leaving only seventy-three points now.

He knew that to support the breakthrough of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword, the next time requires two hundred Source Points.

The gap is over a hundred points.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ning shook his head silently.
