He steadied his mind and continued to climb upwards.
A mont later.
Shen Yueru felt the increasingly close footsteps behind her and couldn’t help but quicken her pace.
One hundred eighty-seven, one hundred eighty-eight.
When Shen Yueru reached one hundred eighty-eight, her body was struck by a strong force and disintegrated into countless red lights, drifting away.
"Junior Brother, keep it up!!" Only a few strands of her voice lingered in the air.
Jiang Ning smiled and continued to climb upwards.
He wanted to roughly gauge the level of his spiritual strength.
One hundred eighty-seven.
He took a step down.
Boom—
A roar sounded above, with overwhelming pressure like a mountain and sea crashing down, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.
After two breaths, he finally digested the pressure, and his gaze beca even brighter.
Step by step, tempering over and over, he felt as though his entire body was like glass.
His gaze brightened, his whole body seed to emanate waves of spiritual light.
The limit wasn’t far off!
He looked at the partition looming amidst the clouds ahead and spoke to himself in his heart.
Continuing onward, he felt he could climb a few more steps, surpassing Shen Yueru’s achievents.
"But there’s no need for that!" He shook his head, abandoning the thought.
Reaching this point was enough for him.
He also knew roughly where his limits lay.
His spiritual strength had already reached a level infinitely close to that of an Immortal.
The goal of his visit here was also fulfilled.
He understood why he could progress so rapidly as a Second Grade Great Grandmaster.
In just a few days, he had covered the ground that would take an ordinary Second Grade Great Grandmaster decades, even longer, to accumulate.
The difference in efficiency wasn’t just due to the divine aspect of his status panel, but also because of his profound accumulation and unparalleled spiritual strength.
Since achieving Yang God, he had evidently progressed further, now possessing a spiritual strength almost resembling that of an Immortal.
But now, he wasn’t prepared to challenge his limits any further.
The greatest purpose of climbing the Heavenly Ladder wasn’t to ascend higher, but to refine one’s spiritual body.
After climbing the Heavenly Ladder, one would face repeated spiritual pressure.
With each refinent, his spiritual body had now reached a state resembling glass, and his gaze had beco exceptionally bright.
Returning now and reintegrating with the main body would result in a significant increase in spiritual strength.
He didn’t need to know his absolute limit, only his approximate limit, and that purpose was now achieved.
Forced attempts, like Shen Yueru being dispersed by descending spiritual pressure, would greatly reduce the feedback to the main body.
The next mont.
With a thought, an invisible wave descended from above.
In just an instant, he vanished from the spot.
...
Outside world.
The night was unlit, with scattered snowflakes drifting down gently.
Standing in the snow in the courtyard, that figure suddenly emitted a faint white light.
At that mont, Jiang Ning also saw the Divine Soul on his Spirit Platform emitting a golden light, with his spiritual strength continuously rising.
Dozens of breaths later.
The faint light around him dissipated, and he reopened his eyes.
Though it was nightti, the candlelight reflecting off the snow allowed him to see as if it were dayti.
In the night, his eyes were exceptionally bright.
After absorbing that glass-like spiritual body, he felt a noticeable enhancent in his spiritual strength.
About a five percent increase.
Such an increase on his level was quite remarkable.
Spiritual strength resembling that of an Immortal.
An abrupt five percent increase on this foundation was truly incredible.
"Shangyang Immortal Sect is indeed extraordinary!" Feeling the enhancent of his spiritual strength, he was filled with emotion.
Then, he looked at his panel.
[Source Energy]: 301733
"Enough!"
He glanced at the skill section.
[Skill]: Nine Nether Tribulation Fire True Art Chapter One (Perfection 10000/10000) (Trait: Water and Fire Immortal Clothes (Light Blue), Fire Eye Spirit Eyes (Deep Blue))
The previous Water and Fire True Strength had vanished, replaced by the Nine Nether Tribulation Fire True Art.
As for the traits section, the traits were faintly discernible.
Looking at the changes on the panel, he pondered to himself.
Then, he didn’t rush but first closed the panel.
The next mont, he closed his eyes and then opened them again.
He saw fire igniting in his eyes, and the world before him stood still.
The dazzling colors appeared in his eyes.
Black represents water, white is tal, orange stands for earth, green signifies wood, and red symbolizes fire.
The Qi of the Five Elents stands apart, yet also rges.
What appeared most in his eyes at this mont was black.
Snow covered the Royal Capital, and it snowed the entire day, all representing the Water Elent.
He also saw various radiant hues spread across the sky, saw Geng tal Qi spouting from the direction where Su Qingying was, with flashes of dazzling white light.
"The Fire Eye is still here!" he murmured inwardly.
He dismissed his thoughts.
He closed his eyes again, seeing golden mist filling the Dantian.
The Essence, Qi, and Spirit rged without any repulsion.
"The power of Water and Fire is still mastered," he murmured again.
At this mont, he felt much more relaxed.
The next instant, with a thought.
The grinding plate of red and black colors instantly appeared around him, maintaining a certain balance between the two opposing forces of Water and Fire.
Swish, swish, swish—
Suddenly, the sound of iron chains breaking through the sky rang out.
Crimson and black chains extended from all directions of the grinding plate.
Black stands for water, red symbolizes fire.
The two forces manifested, displaying their own power.
"No problem either!" he murmured inwardly.
Then, with a move of his heart, the Water and Fire Grinding Plate disappeared, along with the extending chains.
"All my power is still intact!"
At this mont, he felt utterly reassured.
Looking at the skill section, he had no hesitation.
The Nine Nether Tribulation Fire True Technique is the thod of the Yin-Yang Tribulation Fire Great Supre.
Though just the first Chapter, not the complete true technique.
Yet he had no doubt about the strength of this true technique.
Looking at the overflowing experience on the panel and the experience value needed for the first Limit Breaking, his heart moved.
Suddenly, the Source Energy Points decreased by ten thousand points.
He closed his eyes and absorbed the insights and perceptions in his mind.
Kan Water as the foundation, purifying the impure decay within the bones.
Li Fire for use, burning away the shadows of the three corpses.
The core essence of the first Chapter of the true technique lies in these two sentences.
Kan Water purifies the impure decay within the bones, Li Fire burns away the shadows of the three corpses.
The key lies in the power of Kan Water and Li Fire.
One water, one fire, purifying the impure decay within the bones, burning away the shadows of the three corpses.
Now, the Nine Nether Tribulation Fire True Technique is constantly strengthening the power of water and fire.
This complents the improvent of Water and Fire True Strength.
Feeling resonant in his heart, he slowly opened his eyes.
[Skill]: Nine Nether Tribulation Fire True Technique First Chapter (First Limit Breaking 20000/20000) (Trait: Water and Fire Immortal Clothes (Light Purple↑), Fire Eye Spirit Eyes (Dark Blue))
Seeing the panel at this mont, his eyes couldn’t help but focus.
Compared to just now, the skill section on the panel has undergone trendous changes.
Water and Fire Immortal Clothes directly transford into a light purple level trait, which is a quintessential change.
[Water and Fire Immortal Clothes (Light Purple)]: Fearless of Water and Fire.
At this mont, the trait description of this line contains only four words, fearless of Water and Fire!
He glanced at it twice and did not pay more attention to this trait.
Having possessed Water and Fire Immortal Clothes for many days, he long understood the effect of this trait.
Now welcoming the transformation, it is rely stronger in effect.
For him, there is no significant enhancent.
Then, his gaze fell on the Source Energy Points section.
[Source Energy]: 291733
After consuming ten thousand Source Energy Points, the total value of Source Energy Points has also dropped below the three hundred thousand mark, leaving just two hundred and ninety thousand.
With this total amount, he felt no panic at all.
With a thought, the Source Energy Points quickly reduced again, decreasing by a full twenty thousand points before stopping.
Monts later.
Feeling complete transformation and insight in his heart, he looked at the panel.
[Skill]: Nine Nether Tribulation Fire True Technique First Chapter (Second Limit Breaking 30000/30000) (Trait: Water and Fire Immortal Clothes (Light Purple), Fire Eye Spirit Eyes (Light Purple↑))
Similar to before, with the breakthrough of the Nine Nether Tribulation Fire True Technique, the original seemingly hidden trait Fire Eye Spirit Eyes also materialized and was completely fixed.
Simultaneously, it welcod a transformation, evolving from a dark blue level to a light purple level.
[Fire Eye Spirit Eyes (Light Purple)]: Possessing the Fire Eye phenonon, able to break illusions and see through deception.
Compared to before, the description is much more concise, with not much change in effect.
But knowing the transformation from a blue level trait to a purple level trait, he knew there must be an enhancent.
