Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Li River Palace, above the floating pavilion.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, looking towards the horizon.

He saw the bright moon sinking in the west, as a pale gray light began to spread from the eastern sky, heralding the approaching dawn.

"Having stayed in the Red Flame Cave Heaven for a while, almost a night has passed in reality." He mused, "The flow of time between the two realms is almost identical."

He collected his thoughts and focused inward.

Returning after several hours.

The physical body was unharmed and still vibrant with life, with the Primordial Spirit and the body remaining perfectly aligned.

"It seems the duration the Primordial Spirit can remain detached is longer than I imagined!" A thought crossed his mind, and then he cast his consciousness into the Spirit Platform, observing his Primordial Spirit.

Within the Primordial Spirit, golden light flowed, as if a miniature Great Sun hung within, radiating.

Intense Yang Qi filled the space, even reflecting through the Primordial Spirit to illuminate the Spirit Platform, with Yang Qi boiling, filling all directions.

Yet within this glorious Yang Qi, there was a trace of disharmony.

Imbalance of Yin and Yang!

The originally intertwined black and white, layers of profound light forming the foundation of the Primordial Spirit, now leaned heavily towards Yang, with excessive golden light suppressing the dark Taiyin Qi, leaving only a faint trace, flickering like a candle in the wind.

"Extreme Yang generates Yin! The Sect Master used his authority to extend a thread of balance for me, but this method will eventually fade."

Jiang Ning could clearly sense the fragment of Yin Qi emerging from the extreme Yang within the depths of the Primordial Spirit, gradually dissipating as time passed.

If the Taiyin is not replenished timely, restoring the balance of Yin and Yang, once the Yin Qi is fully exhausted, the Yang Fire will ignite the spirit, and the foundation collapse will be imminent.

"I need to find something containing Taiyin Origin, or the corresponding magic technique!"

He recalled the words of Chi Huang Ancestor and also thought of the woman in the Moon Palace, who held authority over the Taiyin, perhaps with a solution.

Then, he looked at his status panel.

[Origin Points]: 97.8

The Origin Points had slightly increased, bringing him closer to a perfect hundred.

He understood this was the effect of the tea from Chi Huang Ancestor.

The main source of Origin Point growth was a certain energy contained within the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Then, his gaze shifted downward.

[Skill]: Sun Scripture (Novice 112/100000)

"A hundred thousand!!" He focused on the experience value column, he gazed sharply, "Indeed, this is the Shangyang Immortal Sect’s legacy, undoubtedly superior to the Taixu Yin Yang Sword."

The next moment.

He closed his eyes slightly, preparing to take advantage of the momentum to cultivate.

Sitting cross-legged on the floating pavilion of Li River Palace, his Heart Spirit sank into the Spirit Platform, beginning to comprehend the newly acquired legacy.

The Sun Scripture.

The next moment, as his thoughts gathered, ancient and profound characters emerged within his mind.

These characters, neither seal script nor clerical, with strokes leaping like flames and rotating like sun wheels, were shapes he had never seen before.

Strangely, although he didn’t understand the forms or meanings of the characters, their conceptions naturally flowed into the depths of his consciousness once they entered his Heart Spirit.

Some characters resembled the breaking dawn, nurturing the vitality of all things.

Some characters shone like brilliance, cleansing all impurity.

Some characters concealed within, harboring the chance for Nirvana and rebirth.

Every character seemed to be a fragment of the sun, carrying the full dao resonance of the Great Sun from birth to glory, from cycle to eternity.

Though he did not recognize their forms, he peered directly into their essence, his Primordial Spirit slightly trembled in resonance with the virtual image of that Great Sun.

Gradually, the Great Sun in his heart no longer remained just a shadow, but began to rise gently with the flow of his thoughts.

Initially, it was like a sliver of light on the horizon, illuminating the corners of the Spirit Platform.

Then it broke through the clouds, its radiance permeating every inch of the Primordial Spirit.

Ultimately, it seemed to hang at the peak of the Spirit Platform, blazing and magnificent, illuminating all directions.

And in this immersion of heart and spirit, deep in resonance with the Great Sun.

"Buzz!!!"

Outside, in the Li River Palace, a sudden transformation occurred!

Seated at the center of the floating pavilion, Jiang Ning’s pores suddenly erupted with endless golden light.

The light condensed into substantial daylight, fierce and vast, yet not harming people or scenery, as though unreal.

Numerous golden rays surged from his body, instantly engulfing his figure.

He himself transformed into a Great Sun, illuminating the whole island as if daylight had just arrived.

Even at this moment, people in the Royal Capital could see a Great Sun rising from the Li River Palace’s location.

At that moment, the lakeshore shimmered with waves, reflecting this spontaneously born Great Sun, while fish leapt in surprise, water glimmering.

Guards and palace attendants patrolling in the distance paused in astonishment, looking towards the island, eyes filled with tears, blinded like staring directly at the noon sun.

Now, the Linglong rainbow tail in the lake gently swayed, gazing at the Great Sun on the lake’s surface, eyes revealing awe.

And Jiang Ning’s heart and spirit were now completely filled with that Great Sun.

It did not only illuminate the Spirit Platform, but also seemingly encompassed his consciousness, flesh, and everything within.

At this moment, he seemed to transform into a small particle, suspended in the core of the vast sun, feeling the creation and destruction, cycle and eternity woven within the boundless light and heat.

Just as heart and spirit reached the pinnacle of resonance with the Great Sun.

[Sun Scripture Experience Value +1]

A clear prompt appeared before his eyes.

Jiang Ning’s heart and spirit stirred slightly and he attempted to continue deeply immersing in visualization, propelling the scripture’s operation.

However, though the Great Sun remained high above, the circulation of the scripture became incredibly arduous, each insight felt like carving flowers on a stone, consuming immense spirit.

About the time it takes for a cup of tea later, a prompt appeared again.

[Sun Scripture Experience Value +1]

Thereafter, no matter how intensely he focused on comprehension and activated his Primordial Spirit, the growth of experience value remained at such an extremely slow pace, each time only increasing by one point.
