Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1429 - 257: Cultivation, Spirit Platform True Self Technique Advancement
Royal Capital.
Walking on the road.
Jiang Ning pondered deeply along the way.
This journey to the Royal Capital has taught him much and made him see the current situation clearly.
The world, though vast, is very small.
Before coming to the Royal Capital, even if he was not very active and spent most of his time diligently practicing martial arts, his name was already renowned across the thirty-six provinces of the Nine States.
Now, after winning the title of Martial Champion, being granted the title of Dongling Marquis, and appointed as Zeshan State Patrol Envoy.
It can be said that soon his fame will spread across the thirty-six provinces of the Nine States, and his reputation can no longer be contained.
And as he reached this stage, even if he does not fight or compete, or make enemies.
He has walked onto the opposing side of many great powers.
Because, as that person said, this world no longer wishes to see anyone reach such heights.
It is like a celestial mountain pressing down upon the people, leaving them with only one choice, which is to bow down.
The more he learns now, the more he understands what this represents.
This crisis is irresistible, unavoidable, and cannot be mitigated.
It is a struggle against destiny.
Perhaps now, he does not yet give those existences such a strong sense of crisis.
But as he continues to grow, he will inevitably reach that level.
After over eight hundred years of dormancy, countless mighty figures can no longer endure such a life of bowing and bending.
He also understands that he will inevitably walk that path.
The road ahead is clear.
As long as he remains diligent, the Heavenly Dao rewards the diligent, and he will eventually reach that level.
Before that, if the world knows of his strength, naturally, the hostility towards him will only increase.
This contradiction cannot be mitigated.
As he pondered this, he gradually arrived at the gate of the National Master Mansion.
He raised his head to look at the front.
The ground that was once filled with ceremonial cannons has now been swept clean.
Don, don, don—
He stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the National Master Mansion.
Su Qingying, this State Preceptor, always favored tranquility.
The vast mansion only had two maids.
Therefore, the gate of the National Master Mansion was usually tightly closed and rarely opened.
Even after his eldest brother and sister-in-law moved in, it remained the same.
...
A moment later.
Fragmented footsteps could be heard from behind the door.
"Sister-in-law?" As the gate opened, Liuu Wanwan’s figure appeared from behind the door.
"Ah Ning!" Seeing it was Jiang Ning, Liuu Wanwan smiled.
Then she said, "Ah Ning, you came back just in time, someone from the palace just sent an invitation and asked me to deliver it to you."
As she spoke.
Liuu Wanwan wiped her hands on her apron and handed the invitation she was carrying to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning took the invitation and quickly glanced through it, immediately understanding the whole story.
The royal banquet tonight.
It’s a banquet specifically for the new successful candidates, the champion, the second place, and the third place.
According to usual customs, all newly successful candidates need to attend the royal banquet tonight, and civil and military officials as well as princes and princesses will almost all be present.
This is a grand banquet and a place for new successful candidates and civil and military officials to become familiar.
As the protagonist of this banquet, he cannot be absent.
After reading the invitation, he nodded slightly and held the invitation in his hand.
"Sister-in-law, no need to cook dinner for me tonight!"
"Okay!" Liuu Wanwan nodded and then said, "Lunch will be ready in about thirty minutes, remember it later."
"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded and smiled.
He knew that his elder brother and sister-in-law intentionally delayed lunch to wait for him.
At this moment, the time was about 11:30.
According to the usual mealtime, they would have already started and finished eating by now.
The fact that it would still take thirty minutes must mean they were waiting for him to return.
...
A moment later.
He returned to his yard.
After a brief adjustment, with a flick of his hand, a small ceramic bottle containing Dunhuang Spiritual Liquid appeared in his hand.
Opening the bottle, he took a sniff.
The mist shaped like a dragon flew into his nose.
Then he closed his eyes, and with a single thought.
He once again arrived in the Inner Realm.
"State perfect, inner resolve firm enough to maintain one’s essence amidst the passage of long and void time!" A thought flashed through his mind.
The next moment.
Enter into a state of cultivation.

Time passed, and Jiang Ning emitted a faint glow, this light could be seen without eyes.
Even with his eyes closed, in endless darkness, the faint glow around Jiang Ning could be clearly seen.
This glow comes from the heart, originating from the will.
In the Inner Realm, who knows how long passed.
The passage of time lacked a reference point.
Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze appeared aged.
He looked up at the sky above.
The sun had only shifted slightly towards the west compared to before.
Feeling the cool breeze and smelling the varying scents of soil, lush grass, flowers in the air... gradually made him feel how real this world is.
Rather than an illusion.
After several breaths, his gaze gradually regained clarity, his pupils became vivid.
[ Skill]: Lingtai Dongzhao True Self Method (small success 3011/5000)
Looking at the panel, he immediately smiled.
Thanks to the mysterious nature of the Inner Realm, the experience value of the Lingtai Dongzhao True Self Method increased by several hundred points in just a short while.
Such rapid efficiency, although he cannot continuously stay in the Inner Realm, as overly prolonged passage of time in there could cause his inner resolve to waver.
But with such results, he can greatly shorten his cultivation time.
Combined with the effect of the Dunhuang Spiritual Liquid, he is confident that within two days he can achieve the Great Success Realm of this cultivation technique.
Reaching the Great Success is only one step away from Perfection.
Once the cultivation technique is perfect, achieving Second Grade Perfection.
Reaching First-grade will not be difficult.
