Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning was startled within.

Previously, he believed the scenery displayed by the Preaching Platform was a reflection of past events.

But these words seemed to suggest otherwise.

"Do not be distracted; you embody Pure Yang and have founded your Primordial Spirit upon Taiyin and Taiyang, making you fitting for my inheritance. Today I will pass on the ’Sun’ Scripture to you, to extend my Shangyang lineage!"

As the words fell.

Boom—

Jiang Ning’s heart thundered, seeing a colossal Great Sun rise from his eyes.

The vastness and greatness of that Great Sun was unparalleled in his experience.

Wherever he looked, wherever his mind wandered, all was occupied by endless light and heat.

He could not see the edges of that Great Sun.

Boundless and infinite, the universe knows no bounds.

Staring at this Great Sun, sudden enlightenment bloomed within him, transitioning instantly from obsession to enthrallment.

Meanwhile, within his Primordial Spirit, tens of thousands of golden rays burst forth.

In an instant, the entire landscape of his Inner Realm was enveloped by endless golden light.

Dazzling and piercing light existed everywhere, omnipresent.

It seemed that the entire Inner Realm had fallen into the Great Sun.

Under the illumination of this golden light, the eternally unchanged Great Sun above the Inner Realm also started moving suddenly, as if awakening, scattering endless energy in all directions.

...

Elsewhere.

In a Grotto Heaven, wreathed in clouds, a realm outshining even an immortal paradise.

In a cave dwelling above the clouds.

Hao Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

"How could this be?!!" He couldn’t suppress the astonishment in his eyes.

Just moments ago, he suddenly sensed activity within the Shangyang Inner Scenery, felt the imprint of that Great Sun stirring.

He immediately tried to descend and manifest within the Shangyang Inner Scenery.

Yet found, no matter his efforts, he could not manifest within the Shangyang Inner Scenery.

For the first time after achieving his status as Sun Master and obtaining Sequenced True Inheritance, he was excluded by the Shangyang Inner Scenery.

"Is it because of him?"

At that moment, the figure of Jiang Ning flashed in his mind.

In Hao Yang’s view, only Jiang Ning could affect the Shangyang Inner Scenery now.

Among the ten Sun Masters, now only he and Jiang Ning remained.

His thoughts churning, his complexion shifted unpredictably.

"Besides him, who else could it be?"

"Just after newly assuming control of the Great Sun, he could trigger such a transformation within the Inner Realm, even excluding me!"

He murmured quietly, his tone carrying a trace of undisguised apprehension.

He had witnessed Jiang Ning becoming Sun Master firsthand.

He knew Jiang Ning’s foundation far surpassed his own.

Lost in thought for a long time, he took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, suppressing the turmoil within his heart.

After a long time, he reopened his eyes, now calm, though his brow furrowed imperceptibly.

"The position of Sun Master is singular. With such an opportunity, how can I surrender it?"

At once, he rose and headed toward the entrance of the cave dwelling.

Behind him, the stone door of the cave dwelling closed with a thunderous boom.

...

Shangyang Inner Realm.

On the Preaching Platform, Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on a straw mat, surrounded by endless golden light.

The Great Sun rising from his eyes now completely occupied his Heart Spirit.

He witnessed the birth of that Great Sun, seeing it amidst chaos, at the dawn of void.

He saw it burn, expand, illuminate all ten realms.

He saw its light and heat forming the source of life, sparking vitality in countless worlds.

He saw that giant transformed from the Three-legged Golden Crow, commanding the Great Sun, illuminating all realms, wielding celestial authority over the Ten Domains.

Then.

The voice of the middle-aged man echoed in his ears.

The voice was like a resounding bell, words were precious pearls, yet he could not understand or discern a single word.

Every word that fell was as heavy as Mount Tai, weighing down on his heart as if it was branded deep within his Primordial Spirit, forming the deepest mark, rather than having him understand it through words.

Jiang Ning’s Heart Spirit was immersed in this vast inheritance.

He seemed to see a miniature Great Sun rising within him, shining brilliantly with the boundless sun overhead.

He felt his Primordial Spirit becoming more solid and stronger in the golden light.

The Yin and Yang Qi were madly circulating within his body, yet it seemed to be gradually losing balance.

The more the Yang Qi flourished, the more the Yin Qi declined.

Time seemed to lose its meaning within this Inner Realm.

And the sign of imbalance within him became more apparent.

Although at this moment he was amidst the inheritance, his consciousness was suppressed by the vast Great Sun, he also felt the imbalance in his Primordial Spirit.

Yin and Yang as the foundation, Nine Changes of Profound Light, the most crucial aspect is Yin Yang balance.

Once the two become unbalanced, at best the foundation is damaged and potential greatly reduced, at worst the foundation collapses and death ensues.

At this moment, a strong sense of crisis surged in Jiang Ning’s heart.

And just then.

The voice of the middle-aged man rang out again.

"I say, from extreme Yang births Yin!"

As the words fell, as if laws from heaven were spoken, his words taking effect immediately.

In an instant, the blazing Yang Qi in Jiang Ning’s Primordial Spirit, which was almost consuming everything, suddenly condensed.

From the extremity of Yang, a strand of pure and gentle Yin Qi quietly emerged.

Though this strand of Yin Qi was subtle, it was incredibly resilient, quickly integrating into the foundation of his Primordial Spirit and reweaving and harmonizing the imbalanced Yin and Yang Qi.

The sense of crisis on the verge of collapse receded like a tide, and his Primordial Spirit gradually restored stability, the once fierce fluctuating black and white profound light around him also calmed, continuing to circulate with the ongoing inheritance.

Unknowing how much time passed, the golden light on the Preaching Platform slowly converged, and the avatar of the vast sun in Jiang Ning’s eyes gradually faded.

The middle-aged man’s figure remained sitting atop the high platform, still towering, with the ten suns behind him as dazzling as before.

"As the master of the sun, with Taiyin and Taiyang as the foundation, you have received my ’Sun’ Scripture inheritance. Yet, your Yin Yang is imbalanced. I have, just now, used the power of words to follow the law as a temporary measure. My current state is unusual, and the effectiveness of this method will gradually weaken with time."

He paused slightly, his gaze seemed to penetrate time and space, landing on Jiang Ning: "With Yin and Yang as your foundation, you aspire to become the Nine Profound Immortal. This inheritance has stirred the Sun Origin, causing Yang Qi to become excessive and Yin Qi to diminish. If you cannot harmonize them quickly, once the effect of my words and law dissipates, your Yin Yang will become unbalanced again, leading to the collapse of the foundation, and everything will be lost. In the days to come, you must seek items with Taiyin Origin or corresponding magic techniques to supplement Yin Qi and restore balance. Remember, the Dao of Yin and Yang values balance, imbalance brings danger."

With that said, the middle-aged man’s figure began to fade slowly, along with the entire scene of the Preaching Platform, dissipating like a reflection in water.

"Quickly resolve this affliction, do not fail the inheritance of Shangyang’s path."

Jiang Ning opened his eyes and found himself back in Shangyang Inner Scenery.

Everything around was still empty, and the high platform ahead remained unoccupied.

Just moments ago, it seemed like an illusion.

But at this moment, he could clearly feel the changes in himself, the changes in his Primordial Spirit.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and inwardly observed his Primordial Spirit.

In an instant, he clearly perceived the imbalance in the foundation of his Primordial Spirit.

The Yang was thriving and the Yin declining, the imbalance was quite obvious.

The entire Primordial Spirit, no longer the black and white profound light it once was, but engulfed in golden light.

Within the Primordial Spirit, it seemed a Great Sun was shining through eternity, emitting endless light and heat.

It was precisely this immense power that led to his Yin Yang imbalance, threatening the collapse of his foundation.

Yet, at the same time, he also felt that at the center of this power, at its apex, extreme Yang transformed into Yin.

Extreme Yin constantly streamed, neutralizing this extreme Yang force, allowing Yin and Yang to maintain equilibrium.

But now, even within the Inner Realm.

He could feel this power of extreme Yang transforming into Yin, gradually weakening.

Manifesting in this manner, a certain amount of time later, Yin Yang imbalance will officially arrive.

At this moment, the words of the middle-aged man echoed in his mind.

Yin Yang imbalance, foundation collapse, all will be lost.

And his current condition, was temporarily relieved from crisis by the middle-aged man’s ability with his words following the law, resulting in extreme Yang birthing Yin.

"Balance Yin and Yang to resolve this predicament!" He murmured in his heart, his thoughts racing.

Obtaining this inheritance which caused his Yin Yang imbalance was greatly unexpected.

Yet, he understood it was misfortune within fortune.

As long as he resolves the crisis, he can fully obtain good fortune.

Because the inheritance he just received, comes from Shangyang Sect Master, the exalted Great Sun Golden Crow’s inheritance.

The Sun Scripture, must be the supreme inheritance of Shangyang Immortal Sect.

Next moment.

He opened his eyes and looked toward the horizon.

"I should return! My Primordial Spirit has been away for too long, unexpected changes may occur!"
