Chapter 1596: Chapter 54: Golden Divine Skills, Divine Beings, One Punch Shatters Mountains!
Backyard.
In just a brief moment, the Spirit Fruit he had just received from Xia Xuanyan was already in his stomach.
[Source Points]: 232.7
Looking at the panel before him, he nodded quietly.
The arrival of Xia Xuanyan brought over twenty points of enhancement to his Source Points directly.
This enhancement is tantamount to the accumulation of a small sect over many years.
"Immortal Grotto Heaven, truly is Immortal Grotto Heaven! Even a slight bit that leaks out between the fingers is extraordinary!" Reflecting on the benefits he received from Xia Xuanyan, Jiang Ning secretly felt emotional.
It was merely a piece of tea leaf and a plate of Spirit Fruit.
Yet, it made his Source Points accumulate an impressive increase of over twenty points.
Its value can easily be equated to thousands of taels of gold.
What next?
He quietly pondered.
The greatest news brought by Xia Xuanyan’s arrival was that the Changning Emperor had fallen into unconsciousness.
This matter involves the entire Great Xia Dynasty, if it were to get out, it could bring even greater turmoil to the already teetering Great Xia.
"It’s not advisable to return to the Royal Capital for now!" He made up his mind after pondering for just a moment.
The current Royal Capital is a huge vortex.
If he were to return to the Royal Capital, with the Changning Emperor’s passing and the contest for the throne, he too would inevitably be entangled.
Getting swept into this vortex does him no good.
Then he looked towards Ji Mingyue’s room.
"But if she knows, she would surely rush back to see her father one last time."
After a moment of consideration.
"Forget it!"
Jiang Ning shook his head, a decision already made in his heart.
Knowing about the Changning Emperor’s critical condition, he couldn’t hide it from Ji Mingyue.
If this were to happen and she didn’t rush back, it would be a lifelong regret for him.
"Once she wakes up, I’ll inform her, and today we’ll set off for the Royal Capital together."
"Even though the Royal Capital is now a place of disputes, with my strength, I should be able to assert myself there and protect her thoroughly."
He stood quietly in the courtyard, organizing his thoughts.
Then he opened his panel.
[Source Points]: 232.7
[Divine Power]: 127/8788
[Skills]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (Five times limit-breaking 27833/60000) (Traits: Whale Swallow (Dark Purple) Dantian Sea (Light Purple) Dragon Tendon (Dark Purple) Dragon Body (Dark Purple))
Looking at the numbers in the [Source Points] column, he pondered quietly.
Accumulating over two hundred Source Points is a huge fortune.
Previously investing Source Points into auxiliary traits, Outstanding Comprehension and Unity of Knowledge and Action, already proved to significantly enhance his cultivation efficiency.
This was an act of sharpening the knife.
But now, with impending strife looming, heading to the Royal Capital will inevitably encounter disputes and conflicts.
He has yet to reach Great Success in the Unity Realm.
There remains an accumulation gap between him and those transcendent beings.
Divine Power augmenting his fists allows him to erupt with several times the might, and his fists remain indestructible.
With Great Success in the Unity Realm, Divine Power envelops the body.
The body becomes indestructible, every movement can unleash immense power.
The martial arts skills unleashed resemble those of immortals.
The other day, Prince Huaian’s Great Heaven Hand’s strike seemed like a mountain.
Enough to dam rivers and break mountains.
The power displayed is yet beyond his reach.
Others know that even in Prince Huaian’s rank, he can only be considered a late bloomer.
Martial Arts First Grade, the longer one stays, the deeper the accumulation and the stronger the combat power.
Divine Power condenses, growing daily, year after year.
Those aged monsters, he dare not underestimate.
Until engaging them in battle, paying close attention is warranted now.
Because he can’t afford to lose.
He hasn’t forgotten, several owners of the Primal Source Stone before him all fell midway, allowing such fortune to land on him.
Subsequently, his gaze wandered among the various traits and memories.
The Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, being a superior ultimate skill, and having completed five times limit-breaking, currently influences his strength the most.
The subsequent breakthrough’s enhancement and potentially derived new traits are undoubtedly the most cost-effective for him.
But the next breakthrough still requires a substantial accumulation of Experience Value.
Then his gaze fell on the Dragon Tendon and Dragon Body traits.
These two traits directly relate to his physical strength and combat power.
But currently, the trait grades are already dark purple.
Further enhancement can only be to gold.
One gold upgrade requires a hundred Source Points.
After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head quietly.
For purely improving combat power, these two traits aren’t the optimal solution.
His gaze flickered over the Nine Netherworld Tribulation Fire True Skill, over Vajra Immortal Body, over Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.
He has long noticed, the higher the grade of the Cultivation Technique, the higher the grade of the derived traits often are.
Innately high-grade traits often have stronger potential and effects.
Just like the white-grade trait of unforgettable.
Even upgrading to blue-grade, its effect remains unspectacular.
But from the personal experience of the Outstanding Comprehension trait, he discovered another truth.
Suitability is what’s best.
Though the innate grade of Outstanding Comprehension isn’t high, for him it’s an extremely practical trait.
After multiple upgrades, the support it has provided during this time is by far the greatest.
"Now, I need combat power, but other aspects can’t lag behind either."
He said silently in his heart.
His gaze flickered over these few skills, and then over other skills.
With an accumulation of two hundred Source Points, he’s not planning to continue saving them.
For now is a critical time.
Moreover, sweeping the major sects in Guangning Prefecture and eliminating the Yingtian Alliance members continues.
Disposing of fixed resources such as fields acquired from sect extermination, sect estates, mines, taverns, etc., requires some time.
