Chapter 1601: Chapter 56: Heavenly Cry Saintess!_2
In an instant.
He felt the powerful qi-blood transform into a dragon form, rushing towards his entire body and skin.
Within a few breaths.
Large beads of sweat appeared on his face and slid down, his muscles constantly aching.
Pain, numbness, itchiness...
Various indescribable sensations intertwined and assaulted him, causing him to clench his teeth tightly.
Compared to before, this feeling was several times more intense.
[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +17]
When he saw the first experience value notification appear on the panel, a smile instantly emerged on his tense face.
The efficiency compared to before had increased geometrically.
This cultivation technique was so profound that practicing it usually only increased the experience value by one point.
Only during the last practice did it surpass the minimum experience value threshold, bringing a growth of two experience points.
This time, however, it was seventeen experience points.
Efficiency had increased several-fold.
"Based on the efficiency of experience value gained last time, it would take about seven days to accumulate the experience value."
"Now it’s roughly one day!"
He was suddenly reassured in his heart, understanding that the improvements in these days had made his qi-blood and physique far stronger.
The multiple breakthroughs with the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill had enhanced his physical strength several times.
The dragon body and dragon tendons derived from it also significantly increased his physical strength.
The Dantian doubled his True Yuan total amount, and the capacity of the Dantian greatly increased.
In the state of essence, qi, and spirit as one, the increase in True Yuan also led to further growth in qi-blood.
Add to that the recent upgrading of the grade of the Dragon Elephant Power trait.
Such accumulations allowed him to achieve a significant enhancement in a short period.
This reached the current efficiency, where within a day and night, the Vajra Immortal Body could achieve the next breakthrough.
[Source Points]: 12.7
"It’s a pity I couldn’t save enough source points."
He glanced at the source points section again, feeling a bit regretful in his heart.
With the grade of Vajra Immortal Body cultivation technique, completing the next breakthrough requires 50 source points.
But now he has only accumulated twelve point zero seven.
Then, his gaze passed over the skill section.
[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Five times limit-breaking 4150/60000) (Traits: Dragon Elephant Power (light gold), Leakless Body (deep blue), Ten-Zhang Golden Body (light gold), Golden Body (light gold))
After a glance at the accumulation of experience value, he wholeheartedly devoted himself to practicing this cultivation technique.
[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +18]
[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +19]
[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +17]
[...]
The qi-blood repeatedly scoured and tempered the skin and membranes all over his body, with even the bones producing a clanging sound, like bowstrings vibrating, like metal clashing.
The experience point increase notifications appeared before him like a waterfall.
This cultivation technique focuses on defense of the skin and body.
However, the body is one whole, and although there is emphasis, strength, bones, and muscles are likewise enhanced due to it.
...
The sun rose high and midday hung in the sky.
Hu—
Jiang Ning slowly exhaled a breath of impure energy from his abdomen.
As the gas exhaled, the air slightly twisted.
[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Five times limit-breaking 13117/60000)
In less than two hours, the experience value had surged by nearly ten thousand points.
"The efficiency is indeed different! With this kind of efficiency, a day’s work could complete the accumulation!"
His heart was filled with excitement.
This efficiency is enough for him to further increase his strength before heading to the Royal Capital.
And this efficiency also implies that this cultivation technique holds great potential for him.
A short enough accumulation time means that as long as he accumulates enough source points, he can continue to break through.
On the martial way, the physical body is crucial.
He presently values the physical body the most.
A physically strong body can innately stand undefeated, with extremely high survival ability.
As long as he doesn’t die, there’s infinite possibility.
His greatest reliance now is also the physical body.
Concerning the traits of the physical body, there are also several golden ones.
Deep in thought.
He glanced in the direction where Ji Mingyue was, secretly communicating, then returned to a state of cultivation.
...
It was night.
The coldness was like a knife, and the bamboo leaves condensed frost.
Jiang Ning glanced into the distance.
Chen Canghai returned to the city and was sensed by him at the first moment.
He once again used secret communication.
Meanwhile.
Just appeared on the empty and cold street, Chen Canghai paused in his heart and glanced in the direction of Jiang Ning’s residence, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
Then, he walked towards the direction of a guesthouse.
Because Jiang Ning communicated to him to come again tomorrow morning.
...
On the other side.
Southern end of the Great Xia.
Heavenly Cry Mountain.
A solitary peak pierced through the sea of clouds, and the summit was forcibly leveled, transformed into a vast white jade platform.
On the edge of the platform, spiritual mist flowed like milky white ribbons, sometimes gathering and dispersing, revealing the endless mysterious abyss below.
Several Qiong Buildings scattered on the platform, with flying eaves and carved archways made of warm spirit jade.
"Welcome, Master Xia!" A middle-aged woman saluted Xia Xuanyan.
"Call out your family’s elder." Xia Xuanyan said.
"Yes!" The middle-aged woman bowed her head.
Then, she pinched a spiritual formula, and a stream of light shot skyward, instantly disappearing into the boundless void.
After several breaths.
A purple stream of light like a star breaking through the sky, instantly plunged from overhead.
In a moment, the purple stream fell in front of Xia Xuanyan.
The purple light exploded, and the visitor wore a purple long dress, looking about forty years old, yet her skin was tender like a girl in her late teens, her waist slender and small enough for an ordinary person’s palm.
The visitor was the Heavenly Cry Sect Leader.
"Master Xia, long time no see!" The Heavenly Cry Sect Leader spoke, her voice ethereal and sweet like a girl’s.
"Is the Sect Leader doing well lately?" Xia Xuanyan exchanged pleasantries and couldn’t help but pay more attention to the Heavenly Cry Sect Leader’s face.
Compared to last time they met, the Heavenly Cry Sect Leader looked ten years younger.
"Quite well!", "The Heavenly Cry Sect Leader nodded, "Thanks to the Mystic Yellow Qi Pill sent by Master Xia previously."
She then said, "Master Xia’s sudden visit this time, is there another matter?"
"I need the Sect Leader to increase the curse-killing power against Jiang Ning." Xia Xuanyan said.
Leaving Guangning Prefecture just this morning, he understood why Jiang Ning could calmly refuse his recruitment.
Clearly, the curse-killing skill failed to pose a life-threatening threat to Jiang Ning.
After thoughtful consideration, he decided to visit Heavenly Cry Mountain again.
"Increase the curse-killing power?" the Heavenly Cry Sect Leader showed surprise, "Master Xia has met that Dongling Marquis?"
"I’ve met him!" Xia Xuanyan nodded slightly, "This person might be hiding, the curse-killing skill isn’t as threatening as imagined against him."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Cry Sect Leader frowned.
Then looked at Xia Xuanyan: "Master Xia makes such a request, it can certainly be done, but to increase the curse power, we need to send the Heavenly Cry Saintess to support, the causal backlash will also be greater, requiring more cost."
"Naturally, I understand!" Xia Xuanyan nodded: "I’ll add two strands of Profound Yellow Mother Qi, pay one upfront."
"Okay!" The Heavenly Cry Sect Leader replied.
In the next moment.
Xia Xuanyan raised his hand, and a hazy yellow light appeared in his palm.
He waved his hand, and the light flew towards the Heavenly Cry Sect Leader.
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Cry Sect Leader extended a slender wrist, raised her hand to beckon.
The hazy yellow light instantly wound around her wrist, forming a bracelet-like object.
Feeling the abundant vitality and Dao charm contained in the Profound Yellow Mother Qi on the wrist, the Heavenly Cry Sect Leader immediately smiled.
Her brows and eyes relaxed.
"Master Xia is generous!"
"The other strand, will be delivered after the matter is done!" Xia Xuanyan said.
"Pleasant cooperation!" The Heavenly Cry Sect Leader smiled.
Then, she said, "Please wait a moment for me to通知我教圣女."
"Hmm!" Xia Xuanyan nodded.
After a dozen breaths.
Another purple stream of light suddenly appeared in the sky, then accelerated to where the two were.
Only a breath’s time.
The light fell and then unfolded.
In the purple light, out walked a young woman also wearing a purple dress, slender in stature, with a waist thin enough for a gentle grip.
Just looking at her figure, she seemed carved from the same mold as the Heavenly Cry Sect Leader.
Yet looking at her face, it was completely different.
Her eyes shone like peach blossoms, her face chiseled, with a slightly pointed chin, a true face of a girl in her late teens.
