Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1360 - 223: The Path to Becoming a Martial Saint

Chapter 1360: Chapter 223: The Path to Becoming a Martial Saint

Leaving the Martial Saint Mansion, Jiang Ning slowly calmed his emotions.

This trip did not yield the results he wanted.

Even Xiao Wuque did not receive any definite plan from the court regarding the rise of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

But this voyage was still fruitful.

Because he met the Martial Saint Spirit Body.

And from the Martial Saint Spirit Body, he learned the method to achieve becoming a Martial Saint.

Break the shackles and see the heavens.

These eight characters were the guidance given to him by the Martial Saint Spirit Body before departing.

"Break the shackles and see the heavens!" Jiang Ning couldn’t help but mutter.

His mind went back to the conversation he just had with Xiao Wuque.

After seeing him off, Xiao Wuque seemed to be entrusted with something, and told him many things.

In achieving the Martial Saint level.

Flesh, muscles, and bones, train the body externally, and strengthen the organs internally.

All of this is laying the foundation.

To take the final step that rivals his teacher, a near-perfect foundation must be forged.

The thicker the foundation, the easier the final step will relatively be.

And that final step is as his teacher said.

Break the shackles and see the heavens.

When Jiang Ning asked what breaking the shackles was and what heavens one would see.

Xiao Wuque could only shake his head and tell him.

His teacher previously did not explain it much to him.

Just informed him that this threshold needed personal effort.

Understand it, achieve it, and if accomplished, the threshold would be crossed.

The more spoken, the more known, the more likely one might fall into the wrong path and encounter mental obstacles.

After the conversation, Jiang Ning could only silently keep this information in his mind.

Waiting for the day he reaches that step, using it as guidance.

Having embarked on the martial path, the Martial Saint is now his goal.

Or rather, if a road lies ahead, his target is not limited to this, and the Martial Saint is merely his starting point.

...

On the other side.

With the departure of the Martial Saint Spirit Body and Jiang Ning, only Xiao Wuque and the blind elder remained in the front hall.

"What a pity!" Xiao Wuque suddenly sighed.

"What is a pity?" asked the blind elder.

"It’s a pity that the teacher currently has no time to guide him, otherwise with his talent, in the future he would have an even better chance than I to catch up to the teacher!" Xiao Wuque spoke.

"Perhaps not!" The blind elder slowly shook his head, then picked up his teacup and took a sip of the hot tea.

"Does the senior have some unique insight?" Xiao Wuque asked.

"Some paths cannot be replicated, relying on oneself might be more likely to succeed! If his path could be replicated, it wouldn’t have stopped at just him over these eight hundred years!" the blind elder said flatly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuque frowned.

"This issue, my teacher discussed with me before."

"What was the result?" asked the blind elder.

"No result!" Xiao Wuque shook his head, continuing, "The road my teacher traveled is the correct path, following the correct path is the way to success. Just like the martial path, if practiced according to the original method, the number of grandmasters would be nine-tenths less than now!"

"Perhaps!" The blind elder said lightly, "But in him, I see something extraordinary!"

"Does the senior believe that without guidance, he could instead catch up to the teacher?" Xiao Wuque asked.

Upon hearing this, the blind elder suddenly smiled, "We’ll see! You and I will ultimately have the opportunity to witness his future!"

"Indeed!" Xiao Wuque nodded in agreement.

...

National Master Mansion.

A quiet courtyard.

Jiang Ning changed into loose clothes and stood under a tree.

A breeze blew, lifting a few fallen leaves.

Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method!

He slowly closed his eyes, beginning to recall the key points.

Nine blood transfusions, making his Third Grade Blood Exchange Realm completely perfect, now his only consideration was stepping into the Second Grade Grandmaster Realm.

To enter the Second Grade Grandmaster Realm, the regular method is to temper the spirit with True Martial Dao.

Allowing the spirit to transform.

Just like a ragtag bunch turning into well-trained, thoughtful, and led elite soldiers.

Once transformed, although the quantity does not change, the essence undergoes an earth-shattering metamorphosis.

With the same intensity, one can unleash several times, or even tenfold power.

Therefore, a Second Grade Grandmaster can create tangible pressure through mere spiritual force.

This pressure cannot be ignored even by top grandmasters, having a huge impact.

Such impact is not only psychological fear but also a comprehensive constraint on speed and strength.

If the power gap is too large, mere spiritual pressure can harvest life.

Furthermore, the transformed spirit can resonate with the heavens and earth, unleashing more powerful True Martial Dao.

In Jiang Ning’s mind, the image of Shen Wenyan’s moves appeared instantly.

Back in Baisha County, Shen Wenyan achieved Great Grandmaster with the Four Seasons Returning to the Origin Realm.

With the Summer Thunder Shock Conception, his spirit resonated with the heavens and earth, directly causing thunder to fall, and in one move, dried up the Blood Pool.

"My path, however, is somewhat different from theirs; seeking inner, not outer," Jiang Ning thought to himself as the thought flashed through his mind.

He pondered for a long time, reflecting on the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method.

Then he reopened his eyes.

Lifting his hand in a gesture, accompanied by a flash of golden light, a roll of unknown beast skin suddenly appeared in his hand.

[Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method]

Seven large characters prominently leapt on the beast skin roll.

Jiang Ning’s gaze slowly swept over.

Over a thousand words, he took a full cup of tea time to read it.

Afterward, he once again stored the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method he held.

His eyes closed once more.

In the next moment.

The space at the center of his brow.

The golden Divine Soul little figure suddenly closed its eyes, sitting cross-legged in the emptiness that surrounded it on all sides.
