Chapter 1576: Chapter 44: Arrangements and Plans
Chaosheng Cliff.
Jiang Ning slowly raised his arms, as if embracing the rivers and seas.
Behind him, the sound of surging tide and roaring waves echoed.
In the void behind him, countless water droplets appeared out of thin air.
They then rose and gathered into a hazy sea of fog.
Chen Canghai, Chen Wang, and Jing Wuming kept retreating until they exited the area covered by the fog sea.
Looking at the churning fog sea ahead, their gazes shrank again and again.
Just at this moment.
The fog sea surged, quickly solidifying, and in the blink of an eye, turned into a vast ocean, with a huge wave phantom reaching ten zhang high.
At this moment, it seemed like an earthly sea appeared on Chaosheng Cliff.
Jiang Ning pushed his arms forward, as if exerting the force of ten thousand acres.
Boom——
Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the giant wave moved in response, crashing down like a mountain tipping over a sea, carrying the power of heaven and earth, smashing towards the void ahead.
Before the wave fell, the strong wind already swept through the heavens and earth, causing the void to churn, and air currents to surge.
As the wave crashed down, the heavens and earth roared, and the void shook.
The violent airflow exploded in the sky and earth, with the resulting wind pressure causing the trees below to bend and break, and the river surface to suddenly sink several zhang.
The next moment.
Everything gradually calmed.
The fog sea slowly dispersed, revealing Jiang Ning’s figure standing at the cliff edge.
In the void ahead, under the sunlight, a rainbow arced across the sky.
"Congratulations, Marquis!" Chen Canghai stepped forward, his expression complex as he offered congratulations.
From this single move, he saw Jiang Ning had brought the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill to Great Success.
To reach this step, he had spent decades of his life.
Yet now, for Jiang Ning, it took merely a day.
At this moment, he realized just how absurd the gap between himself and Jiang Ning was.
This kind of natural talent and comprehension, he had only read about in mythic legends.
Jiang Ning turned and looked at Chen Canghai.
"The day’s period is over, how is the evacuation of Chaosheng Pavilion?"
Chen Canghai restrained his turbulent emotions and replied seriously, "Returning to Marquis, all disciples of the pavilion have descended the mountain, not taking a single flower or leaf, and the wealth, books, pills, and spiritual materials are sealed in the pavilion."
Jiang Ning nodded and then looked at Jing Wuming.
"The recruited Cross Immortal Gate members should have arrived at the camp. Go down the mountain and summon them up, secure important places, and let Liu Teng lead the troops up the mountain to take over Chaosheng Pavilion."
"Throughout the process, anyone who defies orders, take them down directly, without concern for anyone’s face. If any issues arise that can’t be resolved, come to me!"
Upon hearing these words, Jing Wuming bowed and saluted.
"Rest assured, Marquis, I will not let you down!"
After saying this, he turned and headed down the mountain.
Chen Wang stepped forward at this moment too.
"Marquis, here is a rough list compiled overnight, please have a look."
Jiang Ning nodded slightly and took the list Chen Wang handed over.
As he scanned it, he felt satisfied and nodded.
The resources he consumed last night were only a part of the accumulation of Chaosheng Pavilion over the centuries.
This meant there were plenty of resources to support his future cultivation.
He also realized that the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill was a cultivation technique heavily reliant on resources.
Without resource supply, progressing with this technique was nearly impossible.
But with resources, it’s different.
Whether rare minerals or heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they all contain energy and can be swallowed and absorbed by him, turning into his own strength.
The essence of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill lies in the word "swallowing."
Internally, it allows him to refine and swallow substances, whether rare minerals, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, or animal bones.
Unlike ordinary people who can only supplement their cultivation through heavenly materials, earthly treasures, or spiritual pills.
Externally, the true might of "swallowing" can only unfold at the Perfection level.
Reaching the Perfection, understanding the true meaning of swallowing.
Transforming into a vortex, devouring the heavens and earth.
Grasping this truth, most non-materialistic attack methods can be absorbed by him, for his use.
"Have Jing Wuming assist you in loading the books and resources into carts and send them to my residence, as for gold and silver, leave a portion to Liu Teng."
"How much to leave?" Chen Wang asked.
"Use your judgment!" Jiang Ning said indifferently.
With these words, Jiang Ning walked down the mountain.
Chen Wang and Chen Canghai immediately followed.
With Jiang Ning leading and the other two behind, they descended the stone steps.
All the way down the mountain, through orderly buildings, the vast Chaosheng Pavilion was now empty and silent.
However, the structures were perfectly preserved, with no damage apparent, clearly the disciples of Chaosheng Pavilion withdrew in an orderly manner.
"How does it feel?" Jiang Ning asked casually as they passed through the buildings.
"Thank you, Marquis, for granting Chaosheng Pavilion a way out!" Chen Canghai’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Feeling a bit unwilling, aren’t you?" Jiang Ning said indifferently.
"I wouldn’t dare!" Chen Canghai said.
Jiang Ning chuckled and didn’t say anything more.
He didn’t need Chen Canghai’s heartfelt allegiance and knew it wasn’t possible.
He only required Chen Canghai to be of temporary use and be smart about it.
Guangning City is large; he didn’t want to handle everything personally, as that would be too time-consuming.
Chen Canghai’s strength was adequate; though now just a Second-Grade Grandmaster.
He once fell from the Secondary First Grade Unity Realm.
Despite his current decline in power, with the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill at Great Success.
Ordinary three to five Grandmasters couldn’t stand against him.
Especially as he grasped more of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, he understood it as an exceptionally intricate cultivation technique.
In mastery, there are different levels.
