Chapter 1938 - 223: Immortal Monarch of Calamity, the Pinnacle of Heavenly Immortal! (2)

Then said again: "The second strategy, it is heard that within the Nine Heavens, there is a treasure map named the Four-direction Heaven-locking Map. This map can temporarily open a realm, and Immortals can exert fifty percent of their power within this realm."

"What is the third strategy?" asked the figure of the Xuan E Immortal Monarch, surrounded by purple aura, calmly.

"The third strategy is for us to collectively gather a team of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. With the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals out, capturing that King Luoshui would be effortless," said the cyan figure.

Upon hearing this, the Xuan E Immortal Monarch, surrounded by purple aura, fell into a brief silence.

Above the river, there was only the sound of waves crashing and the roaring of river water.

"Do you want me to deploy the Generals first?" asked the Xuan E Immortal Monarch.

"Yes, Xuan E Immortal Monarch!" said the cyan figure respectfully, "Generals, in this era, only exist in the Upper Three Days."

"This plan is to be postponed!" said the Xuan E Immortal Monarch lightly.

"Then...?" said the cyan figure hesitantly.

"First, contact the newborn gods, let them stir up turbulence to force the Martial Saint to appear, and then we shall decide," said the Xuan E Immortal Monarch, surrounded by purple aura.

"Understood!" replied the cyan figure.

"That being the case, I shall return. If you wish to see me again, come here and call directly, I will sense it," said the Xuan E Immortal Monarch.

As the words fell, his figure slowly dissipated.

On the vast and boundless river surface, only four shadows radiating brilliance remained.

Several figures exchanged glances.

"Farewell, everyone!"

"Farewell, everyone—"

"...."

The figures moved majestically, and in an instant, they vanished.

The river, as usual, still surged with great waves, the water turbid.

Amidst the rolling golden sands, it seemed a gold dragon was tumbling on the river surface.

...

Outside the wilderness.

The sun set and rose again.

Far away on the horizon, a thread of dawn broke through the clouds of morning glow, casting golden rays on the distant mountain tops, dyeing the steep peaks with a layer of pale gold.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning stood bare-chested, droplets of sweat accumulating all over his arms, then heavily dripping to the ground.

The sweat droplets burst, reflecting the red sun rising from afar.

As he inhaled and exhaled, golden lines intermittently appeared on his skin.

Hidden, his body looked normal, without any oddity.

Visible, golden light filled the lines, holy and dazzling.

Boom——

He struck another pose.

Qi-blood roared within his body, like great rivers rushing.

The golden lines on his skin became even brighter at this moment.

He could feel that with the explosion of Qi-blood, every inch of flesh was undergoing intensive refining, with membranes being washed repeatedly.

The golden gleam on his skin grew more dazzling.

"Refreshing!!"

Jiang Ning’s expression slightly contorted, but his lips cracked into a smile.

The deep-seated numbness and piercing pain akin to millions of needles intertwined, yet he was accustomed to it.

What made him shout out in exhilaration now was not the physical sensation, but the newly appeared prompt before him.

[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1033]

Then, his gaze swept towards the panel.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Nine times limit-breaking 67.33%→73.11%) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Gold)...)

The progress change on the panel was now clearly visible.

"At this rate, about four days more," he murmured to himself.

Feeling increasingly the strength of that divine flower.

Approximately one-third of the progress accumulation required him a total of five days.

From this, on the Vajra Immortal Body cultivation technique, that divine flower saves him about ten days.

And this is just one cultivation technique.

Factoring in all cultivation techniques, the time saved based on his efficiency might be measured in years.

Because yesterday’s biggest gains came from the Sun Scripture and Taiyin True Scripture.

Either of these techniques breaking through can instantly elevate him to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, rather than like now, only his mental strength reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

A thought flashed in his mind, then he invigorated his heart spirit, dispelling the distractions from his mind.

"Again!" he shouted inwardly.

His arms spread wide like a roc spreading its wings, Qi-blood surged within.

The golden lines extended from his skin to his arms, like gold dragons coiling around them.

This is the Divine Pattern of the Great Sun Divine Body.

Boom——

Another roar within, a surge of Qi-blood.

The deep-seated numbness and piercing pain struck again, his expression unchanged, his eyes gleaming.

Moments later.

[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1081]

Another prompt flashed before him.

He glanced over it, and his heart was shocked, then he looked at the panel again.

He could clearly see the percentage in the progress bar twitching.

The motivation in his heart suddenly became stronger.

...

Three days later.

Above the wilderness.

The rising sun.

The morning glow filled the sky.

The golden light of the rising sun spilled onto his bare upper body, droplets of sweat rolled down along the golden patterns, like pearls imbued with gold.

At this moment, he posed facing the rising sun, like a sculpture, motionless.

His breathing was long and deep, and every inhalation and exhalation caused wild winds to stir in front of him, kicking up dust and sand.

The qi-blood within him surged like rivers and seas, roaring incessantly.

The deep numbness to the bone and the piercing pain like being pricked by a million needles had long made him stop frowning, becoming accustomed to it.

After completing a movement, he slowly adjusted his breath twice.

"Again."

Then he spread his arms like a roc spreading its wings, with the qi-blood inside him roaring nonstop, surging like a volcano eruption.

On his body, the golden patterns spread from the torso to the arms, like golden dragons coiling and winding on his arms, bright and dazzling.

This was the Great Sun Divine Body displaying its divine traits under the stimulation of qi-blood.

At this moment, he felt the stinging and numbness in his body, his eyes glowing more brightly.

A moment later.

[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1081]

The notification of experience value growth appeared on the panel, and he then glanced at his panel.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Nine times limit-breaking 73.11%→95.87%) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Gold)...)

"Almost there!"

Seeing the current progress on the panel, his heart was shaken, and then he felt anticipation.

According to his efficiency, in one more day, the Vajra Immortal Body could be perfected.

And the accumulation of source points had long been satisfied.

In other words, one day later, the Vajra Immortal Body could smoothly break through, and his physical strength and martial arts prowess would greatly increase.

The shackles breaking, getting closer to the Martial Saint, perhaps even reaching the Martial Saint Realm isn’t impossible!

With this thought in mind, his gaze fell on the source points section.

[Source Points]: 2471.7

Then, he closed the panel, once again diving into the state of cultivation.

...

The sun rose higher.

Above the wilderness, the chirping of insects never ceased.

Jiang Ning’s figure, like a sculpture, stood immovable.

The qi-blood inside him surged like rivers, wave after wave washing through, never stopping.

Each wash made his muscles more refined, his skin tougher.

This feeling was like tempering common iron into a divine weapon through countless trials.

Boom——

Boom——

The tides within rose and fell, roaring incessantly.

The patterns on his body glowed with golden light, dazzling and full of mystery.

...

It was night.

The bright moon hung high, its clear radiance like a veil covering the earth.

On Luoshui Lake.

The river surface was hazy, misty with water vapor.

Though the moonlight was bright, under the cover of the river mist, it seemed to transform into an abyss that could swallow all things in the world.

At this moment.

Splash——

On the originally silent and windless, mirror-like river surface, a ripple suddenly spread.

On the ripple, a bare white jade-like foot gently stepped down.

The feet were bare, petite and exquisite, glowing with jade color.

Further up, it was the exquisite figure clad in a black gauze skirt, its curves rising and falling, like a meticulously carved sculpture.

Further up, there was a black gauze veil covering the face, revealing only a pair of bright and alluring eyes.

Those eyes, soul-capturing, able to attract all the gazes of the world.

Splash——

The woman took another step, instantly appearing a yard away.

Her toes lightly touched down, and another ripple spread across the mirror-smooth lake surface.

Then she lifted her foot, a few droplets of water brought up fell like a beaded curtain.

Splash——

The woman’s foot arched down, again appearing a yard away, simultaneously dispersing some of the river mist on the surface.

This scene on the moonlit Luoshui Lake surface was exceptionally eerie.
