Chapter 1840 - 174: The Great Secret of the Human Body, Touching a New World! (Part 2)

Otherwise, if conflicts break out in both the north and the south, with the Martial Saint currently unable to intervene, the entire Great Xia could be overturned in an instant.

But for him, these accumulated Source Points cannot bring immediate improvement.

In his mind, he contemplated, and his gaze fell upon the Spirit Platform’s Illumination True Self Technique.

The next breakthrough for this Cultivation Technique would consume five hundred points.

The consumption of five hundred points is entirely sufficient for him at this moment.

Moreover, after the last breakthrough of this Cultivation Technique, all traits have been elevated to the golden tier. Continuing to break through, whether it brings about new golden traits or further enhances the existing traits, wouldn’t be a loss.

He had already laid the groundwork beforehand.

Thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind, and without the slightest hesitation, he made a decision.

The next moment, he willed his mind into action.

Source Points rapidly decreased, instantly consuming a full five hundred points.

Boom—

Within the Spirit Platform, a roar resounded once again.

Rustling—

Immediately following was the sound of rushing river water.

Subsequently, he saw a long river’s shadow reflected within his Spirit Platform.

The shadow coiled around like a mighty dragon, endless and without beginning or end.

Then, countless white micro-lights emerged from the shadow, suddenly stirring.

Instantly, like a floodgate opening, they surged toward his consciousness.

At this moment, the Prince Zhenbei and King Beicang, still in the courtyard, immediately saw a faint white halo appear around Jiang Ning.

The halo expanded, growing more intense.

Witnessing this scene, the Prince Zhenbei slowly closed his eyes.

However, that figure remained reflected in his vision, in his mind, unshaken by any turn of thought.

Majestic and grand, like a god or an underworld being!

Eight words flashed through the Prince Zhenbei’s mind.

At that moment.

Within Celestial Palace City.

Outside the Prince Mansion.

Figures turned their heads, looking toward the direction of the Prince Mansion, where the ground had shaken days ago.

In their eyes, in their hearts, a figure was mirrored.

A figure majestic and grand, unlike any mortal.

Instantly, some knelt and worshiped in the direction, calling out their faith aloud.

And this commotion, from the outskirts of the Prince Mansion, spread continuously farther.

The commotion spread like tidal waves.

A short moment later.

Outside Celestial Palace City, on the northern mountain.

A red lama emerged from the tent, gazing ahead at the towering, magnificent city walls.

Behind him were a few bald strong men in beast pelts, their chests half-exposed.

"State Preceptor, there have been some disturbances in Celestial Palace City these past few days!" spoke a man with a bare, muscular chest and thick arms comparable to thighs.

"I am aware!" the red lama nodded slightly, saying, "Though news in the city is sealed and nothing has leaked, the disturbances cannot be hidden! There should be strong reinforcements! They just haven’t revealed themselves proactively!"

"Since the State Preceptor has noticed, why do you still let us hold our position?" asked another Barbarian strongman, puzzled.

"I keep my word. Since I’ve given them half a month, let them make their preparations!" the red lama replied calmly, his face full of confidence.

"State Preceptor, who do you think the reinforcements might be?" the Barbarian strongman behind him asked again.

"It’s probably one of them; either Ji Xuan, that Qingxu Taoist, or the old monk Ku Hai!" the red lama replied with a harmonious expression and added, "It’s also possible that it’s the young King Luoshui."

"State Preceptor, is there a possibility that in today’s Celestial Palace City, there are not just one, but two figures?" the Barbarian warrior in beast clothes with a half-exposed chest said.

Upon hearing this, the red lama smiled serenely, "Whether it’s one or two, it makes little difference! The only one I truly fear is that Huangtian Daoist, who hides very deeply! But he cannot be our enemy now, so there’s no need to worry about that!"

After speaking, the red lama paused for a moment.

Then said, "Pass on my order!"

"Yes, State Preceptor!" A Barbarian warrior behind him immediately knelt onto one knee, signaling acknowledgment.

"Give the Celestial Palace City a final ultimatum, tell them since they are here, don’t delay further. Tomorrow morning, we will break the city, let them prepare and wash their necks."

"Yes, State Preceptor!!" Hearing the red lama’s words, the Barbarian warrior behind him trembled with excitement.

.....

The other side.

Endless radiance filled the Spirit Platform.

And Jiang Ning’s consciousness was swept up by that force, instantly elevating, infinitely elevating, and once again charging into that indescribable dimension.

The river of time appeared before his eyes once again.

The river roared, and he watched the bubbles ahead.

Countless images appeared in his consciousness.

Among them were familiar scenes—Luoshui’s clear waves, an old man slowly practicing boxing in a martial arts hall, each move seemingly weightless yet brimming with the profound essence of returning to the basics.

He also saw Dongling County, a woman in a golden-red long dress, followed by a young girl with a delicate face, both standing on a high wall, looking at the endless Nu River below.

He saw, too, in the depths of the palace, a young girl leaning against the windowsill, gazing into the distance.

He saw....

Familiar and unfamiliar scenes were presented in his consciousness simultaneously.

In total, there were more than thousands of images.

He knew that this was every corner of this world at this moment.

For ordinary consciousness to be bombarded by an overwhelming number of images like stars at the same time, they would instantly fall into a daze, confusion, or even crash, but for him, processing these images was not a problem in the slightest.

The next moment.

He slowly retracted his heart spirit, his consciousness receding like the tide.

When he opened his eyes, his gaze was indifferent and ordinary, like that of a common person.

But Prince Zhenbei and Beicang King standing not far away simultaneously felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

It wasn’t an oppression of power, but a mental pressure, as if Jiang Ning stood before them and with just one glance, saw through them completely.

"Has the Prince... broken through?" Prince Zhenbei asked tentatively.

Jiang Ning slowly nodded, his gaze slightly lowered, focusing on the panel.

[Skill]: Spirit Platform Reflections of True Self Technique (Nine times limit-breaking 32/100000) (Traits: True Self Uniqueness (Deep Gold), True Spirit Perception (Light Gold), Three Elements Unification (Light Gold), Foreknowledge (Deep Gold↑), Spiritual Wisdom (Light Gold))

His gaze settled on the Foreknowledge trait.

[Foreknowledge (Deep Gold)]: Before the wind stirs, the spirit perceives; before the thought moves, the heart knows. Anticipate the enemy’s moves, understanding the world’s mysteries.

"Deep Gold trait." he murmured in his heart, observing the changes on the panel, satisfied internally.

Spending five hundred Source Points, the enhancement was exactly as he expected.

The breakthrough in Spirit Platform Reflections of True Self Technique, at the moment of breakthrough, allowed the True Spirit to transform again, and spiritual power greatly increased.

At this moment, if he were to unleash the might of his Primordial Spirit, it far exceeded when he first became an Immortal.

He felt that solely with the explosion of his Primordial Spirit, he was enough to rival the former Ji Xuan.

Thoughts flashed in his mind, he closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in his body and spirit platform after the breakthrough.

The next moment.

He saw, under his current perception, there existed shadowy outlines throughout his body, limbs, and bones.

That was something he had never seen before.

These existences neither resided in the flesh nor in the spirit, seeming to be in a higher dimension, yet were now being reflected by his spiritual sense.

His heart suddenly trembled.

This was a change he had never seen before.

Since he began cultivating, he had undergone countless Break Limits and breakthroughs, gaining an extremely precise understanding of his physical body. He could even clearly perceive the vitality and state of each cell within.

But these shadowy outlines, he had never seen before.

They seemed to have always existed within him, only previously untouched by his perception.

"This is!!!"

A phrase once spoken by the Martial Saint suddenly emerged in his mind.

"The body is limitless, the spirit unbound, infinitely growing, infinitely elevating, and one day, will reach a new world."

The legendary realm, the realm countless people in the world yearned for.

Is the new world that the Martial Saint spoke of referring to these?

Thoughts raced in his mind, a realization slowly emerged.

Within the human body lies some deeper-level secret.

That which transcends muscles, bones, blood, and spirit Primordial Spirit secrets. It is only when the body and spirit are fused to the utmost that one might touch upon the great secret of the human body.

And at this moment, through the breakthrough in Spirit Platform Reflections of True Self Technique, through the elevation of spirit, through the metamorphosis of the Foreknowledge trait, he preemptively sensed the existence of these shadowy outlines.
