Chapter 1900 - 204: Surging Progress, the Strength of Immortal Materials! (Part 2)

"No wonder he’s considered second to the Martial Saint." He mumbled softly to himself.

Though the sound was low, Ji Minghao caught it instantly.

His mood was excellent now.

The Human Emperor Sword was back in place, and he had seen through its mysteries.

He also understood why the Great Xia Ancestor was considered invincible back then.

"Did Prince Wang Yu see something?" Ji Minghao spoke up, changing how he addressed Wang Yu.

"Didn’t the Emperor see it?" Wang Yu said indifferently.

"See what?" Ji Minghao was a bit confused.

Wang Yu smiled calmly: "On the island of a palace, someone transformed into a Great Sun, illuminating the night sky, certainly practicing a Supreme Scripture."

"Supreme Scripture?!!" Ji Minghao’s eyes flickered.

"I suspect that person is the King Luoshui, mentioned by the Emperor just now," Wang Yu added.

"Looking at the islands of the palace, in the entire Royal Capital, there is only Li Shui Palace!" Ji Minghao said softly, yet his tone was filled with emotional fluctuation.

"What an impressive King Luoshui!" Wang Yu gazed in the direction of Li Shui Palace, once again exclaiming.

In his pupils, two brilliant Great Suns were reflected.

One Great Sun in the left and one in the right, dazzling and imposing, with extraordinary might.

...

Elsewhere.

In Li Shui Palace.

[Sun Scripture Experience Value +1077]

[Sun Scripture Experience Value +1122]

[Sun Scripture Experience Value +1273]

[...]

A series of prompts appeared before Jiang Ning.

And with the appearance of these prompts, the Experience Value kept increasing.

At the same time.

Many profound insights emerged in his mind.

In the Sun Essence Gold, he sensed endless mysteries surfacing in his consciousness.

Suddenly he understood, it was the symbolic markings of the Sun Star inscribed on the Sun Essence Gold, the rules and order.

As the refining process increased, the efficiency of refining kept improving.

Within the Spirit Platform.

The ethereal Great Sun there had the golden crow spread its wings, flames roaring, as if to ignite the entire Spirit Platform.

[Sun Scripture Experience Value +1573]

[Source Points +11.2]

[Sun Scripture Experience Value +1621]

[Sun Scripture Experience Value +1688]

[...]

The efficiency of Experience Value growth accelerated once again.

Among them, occasionally mixed with prompts for Source Points growth, which were also considerable.

...

After a long time.

The golden light rapidly faded, and the heat waves vanished into thin air.

On the central island.

Everything returned to calm.

The night once again enveloped the land, moonlight pouring down like water onto the scorched black isle.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, a trace of golden light flashed in his pupils, then subsided.

He looked down at himself.

His clothes had long since turned to ashes in the heat, revealing his well-defined body.

On his skin, faint golden patterns flowed like the markings of the Great Sun, imprinted in flesh and blood, then slowly faded and returned to normal.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him.

A wave of scorching energy surged within him, his body temperature still high, like a hot iron.

"Sun Scripture..." He murmured to himself, his mind stirred, and a panel appeared before him.

[Skill]: Sun Scripture (Entry 27.1%)

"So much progress!!" His heart surged with emotions, difficult to calm for a moment.

The Sun Scripture, its cultivation was challenging.

He had already personally experienced it before.

Normally, even for him, to break through a small realm to reach Master would require a long time.

Only within the Yang Lake Cave Heaven, with the phenomenon of ten suns together, did the efficiency seem decent.

Yet now, in a relatively short period, the progress unexpectedly rose over two tenths.

Such efficiency greatly exceeded his expectations.

"Sun Essence Gold!" The thought flashed across his mind again, he secretly noted down this immortal material, these four words.

"I wonder how much the Source Points have grown?" Another thought flashed in his mind.

The sudden increase in Sun Scripture progress raised some anticipation in his heart.

Anticipation for the growth of Source Points.

In the next moment.

His gaze fell upon the Source Points section.

[Source Points]: 1311.3

"Indeed! The amplification is equally exaggerated!!" His eyes slightly narrowed, and his lips curved in satisfaction.

The Source Points he had consumed earlier returned at this moment.

The accumulation of Source Points once again broke through a thousand points.

"My previous choice was indeed correct!"

"Solar Gold Essence, also worthy of being Immortal material for forging the Immortal Sword, has provided tremendous help to me!"

In his heart, he silently mused, his gaze filled with satisfaction.

This harvest was far beyond his expectations.

Then.

He glanced at the lake ahead.

The surface gently rippled, shattering the moon’s reflection into fragments.

He looked up again, seeing the bright moon hanging high, the night sky clear and bright.

"Time has passed!" His eyes narrowed slightly,

recalling the letter Ji Mingyue had entrusted a palace maid to deliver earlier today, his heart stirred.

In the next moment.

He immediately rose, and as golden light flashed, a set of clothes appeared in his hands.

He quickly dressed neatly, then moved.

Transforming into a black and white rainbow that soared into the sky.

In the backdrop of night, it was almost invisible.

...

A moment later.

At Vermilion Bird Gate.

Beneath the night sky, the tall city gate was already closed, leaving only the side gate for passage.

Guards of the Forbidden Army were stationed on either side of the side gate.

Behind them, a lantern swayed in the night breeze.

The lantern was held by a slender, graceful maiden.

The maiden was the same palace maid who delivered the letter to Jiang Ning during the day.

At this moment, the orange glow of the lantern cast light on her charming face, revealing some anxiety.

Suddenly.

A rainbow light descended in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate.

As the light faded, a tall figure emerged, none other than Jiang Ning.

He glanced around and saw the palace maid holding the lantern, anxiously scanning from the side gate.

"Prince!" The palace maid, seeing Jiang Ning, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached, "You’ve finally arrived!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Jiang Ning spoke.

"Not long at all, it’s good that you’ve come!" The palace maid shook her head repeatedly, then whispered, "Your Highness, the Princess has been waiting for quite some time now, please follow me."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, following the palace maid through the side gate and down a corridor, then boarding a carriage.

The night wind gently blew, and within the palace walls, the moonlight fell, tracing various shadows on the ground.

Clack, clack, clack—

The carriage wheels rolled over the stone pavement, their sound gradually fading into the distance.

Seated within the carriage, Jiang Ning closed his eyes to rest his mind.

In the Spirit Platform.

Yin Yang alternated and flowed.

With the cleansing effect of the moonlight, remnants of energy within his body slowly dissipated.

Clack, clack, the speed of the carriage grew faster.

Approximately thirty minutes later, the carriage slowly came to a stop.

"Your Highness, we’ve arrived." The palace maid’s voice sounded from outside the curtain.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes, lifted the curtain, and was met with the sight of a tranquil palace.

A few sweet olive trees were planted in front of the hall.

Under the moonlight, the fragrance of the sweet olives subtly mingled with the night breeze.

Beneath the eaves, several palace lanterns were hung.

The orange light swayed in the night, adding a trace of warmth.

"The Princess is inside waiting, Your Highness, please follow me!" The palace maid lifted the lantern, guiding Jiang Ning through the courtyard and along the corridor.

As they walked, Jiang Ning also noticed.

Ji Mingyue’s residence at Lanyue Pavilion was particularly quiet.

Throughout, he saw no palace maids moving around, making it seem very desolate.

Thinking of Ji Mingyue residing here all these days, his heart stirred with a trace of sourness.

Such an environment was enough to indicate Ji Mingyue’s current mood.

He remembered back when Ji Mingyue was so innocent and carefree, unfettered by convention, directly grabbing his hand.

A moment later.

The palace maid pushed open the door ahead, with a subtle sandalwood scent wafting inside.

The interior of the room was brightly lit, with almost no shadows in sight.

Yet there was only one person, a slender figure standing alone by the window, facing away from the door, gazing upon the bright moon outside.

The moonlight fell upon that figure, glancing across the hair strands, yet it couldn’t penetrate into the brightly lit room.
