Chapter 1886 - 197: Unconventional Cultivation! (Part 2)

Jiang Ning stood upon the heart of the lake, poised on the water, his figure unmoving.

He raised his head to gaze into the void, the Heavenly Eye already open, layers of space appeared in his sight. The golden rift still hid deep within the void, emitting a faint glow and heat, like a portal leading to another world.

"Yang Lake Cave Heaven, ten suns hanging high, is the perfect place for practicing the Sun Scripture." He thought quietly, his gaze slightly focused.

In the next moment.

His figure soared upwards, rushing towards the golden rift.

From the previous entry and his own progress.

His perception was sharper.

No longer needing great effort, he could easily lock onto the entrance to Yang Lake Cave Heaven.

Then, with a flash, he vanished above the tranquil Yang Lake.

Heaven and earth reversed, space transformed.

As the scene before him reconsolidated, he found himself amidst a sea of golden light.

Above, ten great suns hung like burning stars, continuously emitting scorching light and heat.

Below him was the endless vast ocean, its water shimmering under the ten suns, resembling sheets of golden silk.

The air was filled with a dense Pure Yang Qi, every breath felt like flames flowing into his lungs but carried a comforting warmth.

"Such dense Yang Qi!" Jiang Ning deeply inhaled, feeling the operation of the Sun Scripture within him, as if drawn by some invisible force, the efficiency greatly enhanced compared to the outside world.

"Truly a comfortable taste!" His body slightly trembled, sensing the cold within being expelled in waves, leaving him feeling electrified.

After several breaths.

His figure steadied, no more cold emanating from within.

"It seems the level of the Taiyin True Scripture is ahead, already having a certain influence on me! Given that, the progress in the Sun Scripture must not fall behind!" He thought seriously, focused.

Then, he looked up at the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.

In the sky.

Ten suns hanging high.

Ten great golden suns suspended, emitting endless light and heat.

The light and heat distorted the vision, blurring the air.

"Truly comfortable!" He narrowed his eyes, feeling the warmth settling upon him.

A moment later.

His heart steadied, looking into the distance.

Soon, he locked onto a small island.

This island was not as lush as other islands.

It was covered with red rocks.

The island emitted a scorching aura under the ten suns.

He landed in the center of the island, found a flat rock, and sat cross-legged.

"Let’s cultivate here!" He glanced ahead.

The vast ocean spread green waves, glistening with golden light.

Jiang Ning then withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and his heart sank into the depths of the Spirit Platform.

In the next moment.

The profound symbols of the Sun Scripture slowly emerged in his heart.

Golden words, like burning flames, emitted intense light.

According to the Magic Technique, he began to visualize the Great Sun.

In the Spirit Platform, a golden Great Sun rose, radiating ten thousand rays of light.

The light was intense and majestic, carrying a burning aura, yet contained boundless vitality and creation.

As the visualization deepened, time flowed.

Suddenly, he felt an invisible energy above, drawn by him, converging towards him.

Like rivers returning to the sea.

At this moment.

Outside Jiang Ning.

Ten suns hanging high.

Strands of golden radiance gathered in the void, then descended.

The descending golden radiance converged towards his brow.

Entered his brow, merged into his Spirit Platform.

[...]

Hints flashed before his eyes, Jiang Ning remained unaware, his entire spirit immersed in the comprehension of the scripture.

He sensed the profound symbols of the scripture, as if coming alive.

In his spirit, they leapt, rotated, turning into streams of golden light, merging into his Primordial Spirit.

Gradually, he seemed to touch some mystical rule.

About the Great Sun, about light, about life.

The sun represents not only heat and destruction but also life and vitality.

All things rely on the sun to live.

Without the sun, there is no light, no warmth, hence no life.

The origin of life is the sun.

The sun represents the beginning of life.

It is the start of everything in the world.

It is the Yang in Yin Yang.

It is one of the two in the birth of one into two.

At this moment, his understanding of the Sun Scripture deepened again.

[...]

On the island, Jiang Ning sat upon the red rocks, his body emitting a faint golden light, reflecting with the ten suns above.

Within him, the golden leaves on the Immortal Tree slowly grew, becoming more solid, more robust.

The world, along with the flow of time.

Yang Lake Cave Heaven also had alternation of day and night, Yin Yang cycles.

During the day, ten suns in the sky, the Great Sun hung high.

At night, it was endless darkness and cold silence.

When the ten great suns sank beneath the ocean, the last ray of golden light in the world dissipated, replaced by darkness flowing like tides.

The dark tide emerged from the ocean surface where the suns vanished, in moments consuming the whole world.

This world was replaced by profound darkness.

No moonlight, no starlight, only pure darkness and cold.

The entire world seemed dyed with ink, even the air became stagnant and heavy.

Jiang Ning sat on the red rocks, slowly opened his eyes.

The change in the surrounding environment had slowed the operation of the Sun Scripture within him.

The Pure Yang Qi that flooded in waves during the day, now only traces remained within him.

[Skill]: Sun Scripture (Beginner 3.1%)

"Indeed, great progress!" Looking at the panel, his gaze flickered, eyes focused.

How much time had passed, though he couldn’t be entirely precise, he had his own estimation.

He estimated to have cultivated for about over three hours.

Judging by the previous efficiency, three hours would approximately yield thirty thousandths progress.

Yet now, the Sun Scripture progress leaped to 3.1%.

Compared to before, nearly a three percent growth.

Such efficiency improvement was not merely a bit.

"About sevenfold efficiency improvement!"

Jiang Ning secretly estimated, then thought quietly.

In the next moment.

He closed the panel.

Ahead was still pitch black, filled with icy silence.

Occasionally the sound of waves crashing against dark reefs could be heard.

"Time to go back! The nights here are unsuitable for practicing the Sun Scripture, nor the Taiyin True Scripture! Moreover, my Taiyin and Taiyang supreme techniques are still unbalanced, unsuitable for Taiyin True Scripture practice!"

Thought flashed through his mind.

He immediately stood up.

In the next moment, he stepped forward.

The universe inverted, space transformed.

His heart settled, already back above Yang Lake.

The night receded, the sky lightened, the lake like a mirror, reflecting the dim moon in the east.

Jiang Ning stood on the lake surface, his gaze instinctively swept towards the eastern horizon.

He saw the distant skyline, a faint red sun emerging, a ray of dawn casting over the lake.

Instantly.

The breeze blew, the lake rippled with green waves, covered in golden scales.

"The sky is brightening!" Jiang Ning thought, recalling what Lv Yi said yesterday, Ji Minghao inviting him to the morning assembly.

Thought flashed through his mind, he looked towards the direction of the Royal Capital, his gaze focused.

"Not good!" He thought to himself, frowning slightly, "I can’t break my promise! If I hurry now, given my speed, I should make it."

In the next moment.

His figure moved.

Black and white rainbow light instantly shot to the sky.

In but a moment, vanished at the distant horizon’s end, his figure unseen, only the rainbow light crossing Chang Kong, splitting the sky.
