Because he saw a small blade of grass burning with flames on the ground.

"This is... Flame Grass!"

His heart stirred slightly, based on his understanding from books.

Flame Grass was a product that only existed in ancient times.

It grows in extremely hot areas, filled with Fire Spiritual Energy.

It provides great assistance to those cultivating fire attribute techniques.

In the current era, it has virtually vanished.

Even if found, it no longer contains spiritual material, becoming an empty shell.

With thoughts flashing through his mind, his figure flickered and he arrived before the strange phenomenon wrapped around the grass.

Then he uprooted it; as the Flame Grass entered his hand, waves of heat emanated, clearly showing that the surface temperature was extremely high.

He immediately threw the Flame Grass into his mouth and chewed it.

In an instant, waves of warmth surged into his abdomen.

The warm flow contained extremely strong Yang energy, burning his heart and lungs.

"It's a good thing, but not something ordinary people can enjoy!" As he felt the feedback from his body, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The high temperature was enough to make ordinary people combust spontaneously, turning into ash.

Even a general Martial Artist with insufficient tempering of the internal organs would have their five organs incinerated and heart meridians shattered.

It was then that, as his body digested the Flame Grass, a notification suddenly flashed before his eyes.

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill experience +3]

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill experience +2]

[...]

This... something's not right!

His gaze sharpened.

He quietly stared at the void in front of him.

As his body digested the Flame Grass, notifications appeared sporadically.

After a moment, he had confirmed this fact.

"Ten suns in the sky, the Flame Grass actually contains Great Sun Essence Qi!!"

Jiang Ning looked up at the sky, where ten suns hung, causing his eyes to narrow slightly.

Given the changes before and after, he could confirm his suspicion.

What would happen if he performed the Breathing and Exhaling Method of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill to breathe and release the Great Sun Essence Qi here?

The thought arose in his heart, causing his eyes to become incredibly bright.

But after a brief contemplation, he abandoned the risky idea.

Ten suns in the sky.

Even the Flame Grass, a Spirit Plant, contained the Great Sun Essence Qi; once he inhaled, he feared that he couldn't endure the Great Sun Essence Qi entering his body, leading to irreparable danger.

This is a Grotto Heaven world, developed by Ancient Great Divine Power, not a secret realm.

With ten suns in one sky, the strength of the Great Sun Essence Qi reached an unpredictable level.

Such a risk, in his view, was entirely unnecessary to take.

Steadily progress, with his abilities, he would eventually become invincible.

"It's more prudent to seek the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!" His heart promptly turned to other thoughts.

Then he closed and opened his eyes, activating the Fire Eye; the flow of energy between heaven and earth became instantly clear to him.

He saw threads of golden lines falling from overhead, numbering in the billions, falling everywhere and merging into all things.

Jiang Ning then withdrew his gaze, looking around, quickly seeing the direction of the energy flow and where it converged.

Meanwhile, he also felt his eyes being stimulated by an external force, with slight heat, as if energy was surging into his pupils.

...

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

He paused on the beach, holding a Spirit Fruit the size of an apple, biting into it as its juice dripped on the ground from his mouth.

Sizzle!

White smoke immediately rose from the ground, indicating the fruit juice was either highly hot or strongly corrosive.

Jiang Ning swallowed the flesh, his entire body filled with waves of warmth.

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill experience +3]

[...]

With the Fire Eye, he could swiftly locate various special Spirit Plants.

Each Spirit Plant with a high energy density provided him varying amounts of experience value bonuses.

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (one-time Break Limit 4873/20000) (trait: Longevity Species (light purple))

He then glanced at the panel.

Within a brief time of a tea cup's worth, aided by the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill had already grown by over a hundred experience points.

"The Pocket World, truly a wonderful place, no wonder everyone flocks to it!" Jiang Ning looked at the vast sea ahead, filled with emotion.

After nearly an hour of searching and exploring.

He could more confidently assert that this place was a Pocket World, not a secret realm.

Because this place had unique conditions, ten suns in one sky.

The rules were distinctly different from the outside world.

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures presented themselves distinctly differently than those outside.

Most critically, he sensed a strong suppression here.

In this place, the faster he moved, the more overwhelming the pressure felt.

At full speed here, he traveled less than one-tenth the speed he would outside.

That is, one breath traversed thirty feet.

The speed seemed daunting, but at full speed outside, he had long reached a pace exceeding three hundred feet per breath.

Maintaining such speed was difficult because of the substantial consumption and strain on his body.

Like a person sprinting at full speed, how long could they sustain?

And this phenomenon was even more evident here.

The suppression was greater here.

Even if he merged into the wind, unhindered by the resistance of heaven and earth, it had little effect here.

Because only at higher speeds did resistance from heaven and earth become apparent and substantial.

If speed was inadequate, there was little resistance from the environment.

Simultaneously, he noticed that height was similarly severely suppressed here.

When he leaped, the gravitational pull from the ground was much greater than outside.

And the Heaven-Person Grandmaster's unique abilities were completely ineffective here; one couldn't control the Power of Heaven and Earth and walk on air.

Curious what changes would occur if a Second Grade Great Grandmaster came here?

Jiang Ning recalled Zhong Yue's previous words, contemplating inwardly.

Then he looked towards the vast waters.

After recent exploration, he realized he was on an island.

However, he wasn't certain how large the island was, although he hadn't fully explored it, from his senses, it didn't seem particularly large.

On the island, there wasn't life or living creatures, only some Spirit Plants condensed from the essence of heaven and earth.

But their medicinal properties were ordinary, not very precious.

Just then.

As he looked over the vast water surface, a wave surged in.

The wave lapped against his shoes, soaking inside, an extreme cold sensation penetrated his feet, surging along his Qi-blood and meridians.

His body involuntarily shivered.

He immediately looked down, the lake water was clear and transparent, appearing no different from the water of Yang Lake outside.

Yet he had just felt the coldness of the water exceeding what ordinary people could endure.

Just a wave washing over his feet caused his body temperature to drop even slightly.

"Ten suns in the sky, yet the lake water is extremely Yin and cold, indeed the Pocket World is different!"

He then slowly moved forward.

Preparing to test if he could endure the lake water here.

The next moment, his right leg stepped into shallow water.

Cold surged like a tide from below upward to his heart, but this momentarily lasted as his body instantly returned to normal.

The sudden drop in body temperature began to rise, quickly restored to its original state.

"Sure enough! With multiple breakthroughs in swimming, the various traits derived allow me to withstand the extreme Yin and cold water here!"

"If anyone else entered the lake, even if Qi-blood vitality was strong like a Grandmaster, it would be difficult to persist long!!"

Thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

Then he took a few more steps until he completely entered the lake, still feeling normal; only then did he retreat back to the shore.

After briefly exploring, he confirmed his ability to freely move in this extreme Yin cold water.

As for crossing the water, there was no need for now.

He hadn't fully searched the island behind him.

This Pocket World with ten suns in the sky, where Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures all contained Great Sun Essence Qi, was highly beneficial to him, able to greatly advance the process of Inner Elixir Cultivation with simple refinement.

Suddenly.

[Shangyang Immortal Sect Trial Initiated!]

Accompanied by the sound, heaven and earth roared, void trembled.

A flood of information surged into his mind.

Upon receiving this information, Jiang Ning suddenly understood.

On the island he was on, including him, a total of ten people landed.

When he became the last person remaining on the island, he would pass the first round of the trial.

"The Yingtian Alliance wanting trouble with me, they overthought!"

Knowing the rules here, Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle.
