Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1367 - 226: Now, We Can Have a Child!

Inner Realm.

Jiang Ning once again returned to this place.

As he opened his eyes, his face instantly showed a look of surprise.

Because the Inner Realm had grown larger compared to when he had just left, and an undulating mountain range appeared at its border.

With a single movement, he traversed half of the Inner Realm and appeared atop the mountain range.

"Indeed, this is the newly expanded territory!" He reached out to touch the hard rock beneath his feet and looked ahead at the boundless world shrouded in mist.

Behind the white mist, there was still an endless surge of fog.

After watching for a moment, he lost interest in continuing to look.

The monotonous white mist could not capture his attention.

Although he could enter the vast white mist from the Inner Realm to explore the Mist World,

he was aware of its dangers and had no desire to do so.

He just wanted to quietly develop in his own small plot of land.

Only when he had grown stronger would he qualify to explore more unknown territories, more new worlds.

In the next moment.

He withdrew his gaze from the mist, stepped several paces out, and arrived at the border of the Inner Realm, bending down to pick up the unknown beast bone from the ground. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As the beast bone landed in his hand, he weighed it.

"It’s a full tael!" His eyes flashed with surprise, then instinctively glanced at the surging white mist ahead.

Instantly.

An inexplicable sense of foreboding arose from the depths of his heart.

"There’s movement beyond the mist!!" His eyes narrowed, his expression solemn as he looked forward.

Thump, thump, thump—

At this moment, though he was merely a spiritual presence, he seemed to hear the beating of his own heart.

After a dozen breaths.

The inexplicable sensation of creeping unease slowly faded.

Phew—

He exhaled deeply, his expression relaxing once more.

He looked again at the beast bone weighing a full tael in his hand.

"Is this the remnant of a creature from within the mist?" Thoughts flashed through his mind.

Then he glanced skyward; at that moment the bright moon hung high, the sun did not appear in the sky.

"No rush!" Seeing the sky was wrong, he muttered, feeling not the least bit anxious.

Time seemed unimportant in the Inner Realm.

Even if ten days or half a month passed here, it would only be a brief passing of time in the outside world.

After a long while.

The bright moon sank into the horizon, and a round sun slowly rose.

"It’s time!" He looked at the rising sun, then threw away the unknown beast bone in his hand.

The beast bone broke the air and fell into the newly risen sun.

Then, he saw that sun suddenly emit an invisible wave.

Like a furnace transitioning from dormancy to active burning.

A moment later.

He saw a pure elixir rain drop from the sun, falling straight onto him.

The elixir rain cleansed, washing over him.

In an instant, he felt his body and mind becoming incredibly clear, his heart immensely tranquil.

When he absorbed this sensation and opened his eyes, his gaze became brighter.

At this moment, he clearly felt his mental strength distinctly increase.

"This may be why predecessors ventured into the Mist World!" Sensing his noticeably enhanced mental strength, he gained insight at this moment.

Just by refining and absorbing an unknown beast bone weighing a mere tael, he could bring about a significant enhancement in mental strength.

If he hunted a complete life form within the mist, the potential increase in mental strength was enough to make one shiver at just the thought.

"But this is not suitable for me! If I proceed steadily and surely, I’ll inevitably become unrivaled in the world! With a safe path available, why take a dangerous one?"

Jiang Ning muttered to himself, then shook his head, dismissing the thought that had just arisen.

He then returned to the center of the Inner Realm.

Sitting cross-legged, facing the newly risen sun.

Moments later, he adjusted his state and entered cultivation of the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method.

All in the world is illusion; only I am real, only I am eternal.

This is the core concept of the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method.

This cultivation method, when practiced to Perfection, becomes one with the True Self.

Integrating the True Spirit Mark completely with oneself, fully mastering oneself, mastering the True Self.

Thoughts rapidly flickered through his mind, then he thoroughly entered a peaceful state of mind.

With a clear heart like ice, even heaven’s collapse wouldn’t faze him.

This is his current Heart Spirit state.

After a long while.

[Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method Experience Value +13]

As he saw the first prompt flash by, his mind inevitably wavered somewhat.

Then, he quietly suppressed the tumultuous feelings within and continued cultivating the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method.

...

At night.

The moon hung high.

Jiang Ning lay in the bamboo tub, looking at the cold moonlight streaming through the cracks of the bamboo house above, his heart utterly tranquil.

[Skill]: Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method (Master 1799/2000)

He glanced at his panel.

In just a day, he was a mere step away from achieving Second Grade Grandmaster.

Reaching this step, he was no longer in a hurry.

Over the course of a day, he entered the Inner Realm multiple times, feeling the passage of time as if it stretched long, leaving him somewhat dazed and almost leading to confusion about his perception of time.

"Rest well for a day, reaching Second Grade Grandmaster tomorrow!"

Thinking this, a sense of excitement arose within him.

Becoming a Second Grade Grandmaster, if he chooses to reveal his strength, he could earn the reward of a marquis title.

Being granted a title and land.

In the face of such honors, even the title of Martial Arts Examination Champion would pale.

This is an honor capable of establishing a family, passing down through generations.

A moment later.

He stood up from the bamboo tub, dressed in sleek loose clothing, and walked barefoot towards Su Qingying’s bamboo house.
