Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1376 - 230: The Powerful Effects of the Inner Realm! (Part 2)
Earlier, when the Yellow Heaven Sect was rising in Xisha County, the greatest pressure he felt was because of his family.
Once the Yellow Heaven Sect’s army invaded, he knew that with his current strength, he had no ability to resist them.
In the face of such a force as the Yellow Heaven Sect, he was still rather weak.
Thrown into this vortex, amidst chaos and disorder, the safety of his family would be hard to guarantee.
Now, it’s different.
The Royal Capital is certainly the safest place in Great Xia.
Even should turmoil break out across the Nine States, the Royal Capital would be the last place affected by chaos.
Not to mention, this is also the National Master Mansion, one of the safest places in the entire Royal Capital.
He had previously seen firsthand how strong Su Qingying was.
He is capable of briefly sparring with Fu Yuan Saint.
Throughout the Royal Capital, Su Qingying, the State Preceptor, is also one of the foremost formidable figures.
Moreover, the National Master Mansion is Su Qingying’s home base.
From his previous discoveries, he knew the mansion had numerous arrays set up.
With the array’s enhancement, Su Qingying would only become more formidable.
Later, after greeting for a while, Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan’s family chose a vacant courtyard to settle down in, and then he left and returned to his own yard.
...
Standing in his courtyard.
He lifted his head slightly; the sunlight above wasn’t as intense as it had been at noon, now filled with a warm orange hue.
"There are still a few hours until 7 p.m., enough time to accomplish something!"
His thoughts flashed.
Then he looked at his panel.
[Source Energy]: 138585
After breaking through with two sword techniques, the Source Energy Points sharply decreased by forty thousand, but there were still nearly a hundred and forty thousand remaining.
These remaining points allowed him to make a variety of choices.
His thoughts swirled, and he then restrained his eager heart, focusing on the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.
"With further growth in Sword Dao talent, practicing the Taixu Yin Yang Sword should be more efficient!"
"If this sword technique achieves perfection, it’s almost impossible to use the weak to defeat the strong."
At this moment, strong figures of the Yellow Heaven Sect flashed through his mind, as did the Side-by-Side King.
He knew that sooner or later, he would face this level of formidable opponents.
But the specific date was still uncertain.
Whether early or late, fast or slow.
Precisely because of this, his current urgent task is to quickly increase his combat strength.
After thinking clearly.
He raised his hand and summoned, and with a flash of light, a longsword appeared in his hand.
In the next moment.
The momentum of the sword rose.
The sword’s blade sliced through the void, causing faint ripples in the void.
Subsequently, light and shadow intersected, the void flickered unpredictably, and light twisted at this location.
His figure also started to elongate, then transformed into several shadows appearing in all directions of the courtyard.
At times, the sword shadows gathered and became solid.
Even in high-speed sword swings, the blade was plainly visible.
At other times, the sword shadows suddenly moved left and right, leaving no trace of any mid-pass skirmish.
Each swing out seemed to possess the capability of traversing the void, transcending space, making the sword technique more uncanny.
At times, the speed of the sword blade slicing through the air exhibited different variations of fast and slow.
Seemingly extremely fast sword shadows produced countless phantom images, but upon closer inspection, the sword blade had only moved a few centimeters.
At other times, another scene emerged, where the sword was clearly slow, but in an instant, the sword light seemed to divide space.
Speed so fast, it was difficult to capture.

[...]
When he saw the prompt flash before him, he understood.
Compared to before, the efficiency was unarguably increased by a significant margin.
Almost doubled.
He knew that this was indeed due to the growth in Sword Dao talent and insight.
But it was also tightly related to the swift agility of his thoughts.
Entering Second Grade Grandmaster, his mind was keen and his thoughts swift.
His comprehension had thus improved.
All these would reflect in the practice of sword techniques.
His thoughts flashed, and he again looked at his panel.
[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Master 7573/20000)
"At the current pace, it won’t take long! Especially with the acceleration effect of the Inner Realm."
He whispered to himself, then closed his eyes.
...
On the other side.
Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan settled down.
"Brother Li, what do you think is the relationship between that girl and Ah Ning?" Liuu Wanwan quietly pulled Jiang Li aside and said.
"From that girl’s address earlier, she should be Ah Di’s beauty." Jiang Li said.
"Brother Li, I think it’s more than that." Liuu Wanwan said.
"What else do you think it is?" Jiang Li asked.
"Brother Li probably didn’t notice it, but in front of Ah Ning, that girl always positions herself in a lower status! This kind of interaction is not a normal relationship between men and women, but more like a superior-subordinate relationship." Liuu Wanwan shared her thoughts.
"Superiors and subordinates?" Jiang Li expressed surprise: "Impossible, that girl is the Great Xia State Preceptor, an existence above millions! No matter how excellent Ah Di is, he’s currently only a Fifth Grade Official, a Dongling County Patrol Envoy; in the Royal Capital, officials above the Fifth Grade are everywhere!"
"Although that’s the case, there are definitely things we don’t know!" Liuu Wanwan said.
"Should we ask Ah Di later?" Jiang Li suggested.
"No need to ask!" Liuu Wanwan shook her head and continued: "Ah Ning having some secrets when he reached where he is today is normal, as long as he remains our Ah Ning!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li recalled the previous words Jiang Ning had said to him.
Then he smiled lightly: "Ah Ning is definitely our Ah Ning!"
Hearing this, Liuu Wanwan earnestly observed Jiang Li’s expression, and a relieved look appeared on her face.
"Since Brother Li says so, I am at ease!"
...
On the other side.
In Jiang Ning’s courtyard, day and night were alternating, the void undergoing transformations and distortions.
Countless human shadows and sword shadows filled all corners, appearing incredibly ghostly.

[...]
As he continued practicing the sword, digesting the insights and realizations gained from endless time in the Inner Realm, the Taixu Yin Yang Sword experienced increased efficiency in gaining experience value.
Two hours later.
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword Experience Value +72]
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword Experience Value +69]
[...]
The consecutive experience value increase prompts remained consistent with before, and his heart was devoid of sporadic bursts of inspiration.
After practicing the sword technique once more, he slowly stopped.
With one breath in and one breath out.
He could sense his breathing was in harmony with Heaven and Earth’s rhythm.
The energy consumption of practicing sword for two hours was far less than it had been a few days ago.
"Still have some energy left!" He tried to mobilize the golden mist in his dantian again.
Strands of mist like clouds surged, with still half remaining.
"This indeed is the stamina of a Second Grade Grandmaster!"
Sensing his transformation, he inwardly marveled.
Next, his gaze swept to the panel.
[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Master 10133/20000)
"Such high efficiency!!"
Seeing the changes in Taixu Yin Yang Sword’s experience value, he couldn’t help but express amazement.
In just over two hours.
The experience value of Taixu Yin Yang Sword had accumulated over two thousand points, progressing directly over halfway.
At this moment, he genuinely felt the powerful effect of the Inner Realm.
With such formidable efficiency, by tomorrow at the latest, he can achieve small success with this sword technique.
This rapid improvement was a change he dared not imagine before.
Then he closed the panel and gazed toward where Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan were.
"Just right for a break, to recover a little mental fatigue, and go see how Brother and Sister-in-law are!"
With a thought rising in his mind, he then moved.
...
In the evening.
The end-of-year twilight always sets in fast and dark.
"Seventeenth Princess!!"
Jiang Ning looked at Ji Mingyue standing at the gate of the National Master Mansion, eyes filled with surprise.
His gaze then fell on the hands of the maids behind Ji Mingyue.
"This is..."
Under the illumination of two large red lanterns at the door, Ji Mingyue’s face appeared even more tender, glowing with a reddish light, filled with the unique complexion of a young girl.
Ji Mingyue looked at Jiang Ning and smiled.
"I heard that Brother and Sister-in-law have come to the Royal Capital, so I’ve prepared some gifts at the mansion, and came to see Brother and Sister-in-law."
"Later, I can also go with you to attend the Linyuan Small Gathering."
