Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint Chapter 1583 - 47: New Trait, Whale Swallowing! (Part 2)

His whole body’s tendons and bones rang together; he felt his physique becoming even stronger, and his strength had increased quite a bit compared to before.

"Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill truly deserves to be a top-tier supre art!"

He sighed inwardly.

Before reaching Perfection, the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill had indeed given his physique a certain enhancent.

But that kind of effect, compared to the intensity his body already possessed, wasn’t worth ntioning.

The so‑called enhancent had been negligible.

After Perfection, once he completed a breakthrough, it beca completely different.

The increase in physical strength was clearly noticeable.

The rise in power was also extrely obvious.

Compared to before, his physique was about ten percent stronger.

Ten percent might not sound like much.

But what level had his physique reached now?

The Vajra Immortal Body that had undergone Five tis limit-breaking let him understand that his fleshly body could be said to have beco saintly.

In that battle with Chen Canghai, he hadn’t been able to display the might of a First Grade Mixed Yuan Domain; relying only on the strength of his flesh, he had effortlessly suppressed Chen Canghai.

A ten percent increase was already an extrely exaggerated improvent.

After that, he swept a glance at the remaining resources in the box before him.

With surplus grain at ho, there wasn’t the slightest trace of panic in his heart.

During the day he had bought a total of ten chests of cultivation resources from Wanhua Building.

Right now he hadn’t even used up one chest.

Moreover, within Guangning Prefecture, there were still several Sects with deep foundations waiting for him to sweep clean.

Cross Immortal Gate and Chaosheng Pavilion were only the beginning; the spoils from the subsequent sweepings would be delivered to him continuously.

Any Sect with a history of several hundred years had an accumulation that could not be underestimated.

Then he looked toward the panel.

[Source Energy]: 727788

The breakthrough just now had consud ten thousand points, leaving more than seven hundred and twenty thousand.

His gaze shifted downward.

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (one ti Break Limit 38/20000) (trait: Whale Swallowing (Deep Purple))

After closing the panel, he imdiately lifted his head again.

Though the sky was covered with dark clouds, with the bright moon blocked by the black clouds Above the Clouds, he could still feel that it was not yet late in the two hours.

The next mont.

He cald his Heart Spirit and began circulating the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill.

As vigorous Power rose from his abdon, it was like a wandering dragon that was no longer constrained, roaming freely through his tendons and bones, flesh and blood, and skin mbrane.

With every movent, it swept away large amounts of Qi Blood Power, causing his physical state to begin declining.

But at the sa ti, he could feel his tendons and bones, flesh and blood, and skin mbrane all being tempered by this Power.

It was different from the Vajra Immortal Body.

The strength of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill was all‑encompassing.

It did not, like the Vajra Immortal Body, focus on the body’s surface and on physical defense.

"I truly didn’t choose wrong!" Feeling the feedback from his body, he was secretly excited.

When the fleshly body strengthens, the fra becos robust, and Qi-Blood rises.

With robust fra, both Qi and Spirit grow strong.

As Essence, Qi, and Spirit all improve, the efficiency with which his body condensed Divine Power also increased.

[Divine Power]: 11/8788

His Heart Spirit dispersed, a thought flashed, and one column of the panel flickered before his eyes.

As for the amount of Divine Power, he had now accumulated an eleventh strand, and according to his current efficiency, he condensed roughly three strands of Divine Power per day.

And by his estimation, once he had condensed eight thousand seven hundred and eighty‑eight strands of Divine Power, that would signify him stepping into the Unity Realm Great Success Realm.

Unity Realm Great Success, its sole mark was Divine Power perating every inch of flesh and blood throughout his entire body, every corner, leaving no dead angle anywhere.

After that, he devoted himself fully to the cultivation of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill.

Only at Unity Realm Great Success could he truly stand at the pinnacle of Martial Arts.

In terms of realm, he would be on par with the likes of Prince Huai’an Lu Zhan.

Only then could he look toward that once‑in‑a‑millennium realm, Martial Saint.

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value 178]

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value 175]

[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value 181]

[...]

Compared to before the breakthrough, the efficiency at which the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill gained Experience Value was slightly lower.

But in his view, the efficiency was still soaring.

Among all his current supre arts, it was the one with the highest cost‑performance for investing ti.

...

The next day.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

The weather was slightly cold, the air icy to the bone.

He looked out the window; fine snowflakes were drifting down, and the world had turned a faint white.

Then he put on a thin Practice robe, pushed open the door, and walked out of the room.

On the ground outside, fine snow had fallen on the stone bricks, spreading a shallow layer of accumulation.

The snow layer was very shallow; the bluish‑brown stone bricks beneath could still be seen through it.

The cold wind poured back in, blowing into the room through the open door.

The instant it scraped past his body, he could feel the chill wrapped within the wind.

"For the Heavenly Phenona and Climate to change so greatly, so violently—eight or nine tis out of ten, this is another man-made natural disaster!" Staring at the sky overhead, thick with gloom, watching the fine snowflakes drifting down.

Jiang Ning murmured inwardly to himself.

Then, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Even with his current strength, he still could not alter large-scale Heavenly Phenona and Climate.

What he could do was only to change the Heavenly Phenona and Climate within a limited area.

Relying on the Four Seasons Reincarnation Scripture, he could reverse spring, sumr, autumn, and winter in a local region.

But he could not bring about a large-scale impact.

He shook his head and walked toward the nearby well.

Coming to the well, he hauled up a bucket of water.

Compared to the present bitter cold, the well water was still sending up faint threads of steam.

Like light smoke floating over the surface of the water.

Using the warm well water to rinse his mouth and wash his face, he then walked toward the backyard.

It was still early, and he did not wish to disturb Ji Mingyue’s sleep.

He arrived in the backyard.

He stopped, standing in the thin layer of accumulated snow.

His gaze fell upon the panel.

[Divine Power]: 12/8788

Compared to last night, Divine Power had once more increased by a thread.

"At my current rate, it will probably take twenty-odd years to reach Unity Realm Great Success."

The thought flashed through his mind, and his gaze shifted downward.

[Source Energy]: 783772

Compared to yesterday, the Source Energy Points had once again surged.

An increase of tens of thousands of Source Energy Points.

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (one-ti Break Limit 1837/20000) (trait: Whale Swallowing (Deep Purple))

His gaze swept across the panel, and he closed it.

The accumulation of over eighteen hundred points of Experience Value was the fruit of his toil last night.

After that, he once again stilled his eyes and began circulating the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill.

Vigorous Power rose from his abdon, coursing through his body like a swimming dragon, threading through his tendons and bones, flesh and blood, skin and mbranes, internal organs, and every bone.

Wherever the vigorous Power passed, his physique slowly strengthened, his cells becoming more active and more resilient.

This was a kind of tempering, and also a kind of evolution.

At the sa ti—

His body also beca the center of a vortex, the falling wind and snow converging toward him.

The moisture in the courtyard, the Earth Elent in heaven and earth, the thin Spiritual Energy, all followed the snowflakes and gathered toward him like rivers flowing into the sea.

The mont these energies neared him, they were all drawn into his abdon.

Replenishing what he expended, restoring his state.

But compared to his current consumption, this replenishnt was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

After two hours—

The dim light of the sky grew brighter.

The falling snowflakes also beca larger.

The ground was already a vast stretch of white; the bluish-brown stone bricks beneath the snow could no longer be seen.

Hu—

With a drumming sound echoing from his abdon, he slowly opened his eyes and lightly exhaled a breath of impure energy.

His breath turned to mist, the white mist like a sword.

Cutting through the air for thirty feet, stirring up the wind and snow.

He then opened the iron chest and began using resources to restore his state.

Under the blessing of the Whale Swallowing Attribute—

The speed of devouring and refining soared several tis over.

And he also found that his utilization rate of resources had clearly improved.

Only after restoring his state did he go to the kitchen to start cooking porridge.

The daily food, clothing, shelter, and routine were usually arranged and managed by Ji Mingyue.

So he naturally took it upon himself to handle the morning al.

After putting the porridge on to cook, he went back inside the house and set up a charcoal fire.

The temperature had plumted; although, to him, who was already Immune to Cold and Heat, it made no difference.

But he knew Ji Mingyue’s Martial Arts were diocre, and she was far from achieving the sa immunity to cold and heat as he had.

After doing these two things, he went back to continue Practice.

Ti flowed on like plain, unhurried water.

...

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

At this mont, the snow in the courtyard was a full ten centiters thick.

After two consecutive days of overcast skies, the climate was finally beginning to show signs of clearing.

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (one-ti Break Limit 20000/20000) (trait: Whale Swallowing (Deep Purple))

Two days of steady accumulation, two days of painstaking cultivation, plus the aid of resources, had once again brought the accumulation of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, this Cultivation Technique, to Perfection.

For the next breakthrough, what he needed was rely a small sum of twenty thousand Source Energy Points.

[Source Energy]: 987633

His gaze swept over the Source Energy Points column.

After many days of accumulation, the Source Energy Points were only a sliver away from the million mark.
