When the four rounds of the great sun rose, the temperature became even hotter.

Jiang Ning looked at the golden glow in his hand, then closed his eyes for inner inspection.

He saw Qi-Blood and Divine Thought continuously flowing into the golden inner core, and then strands of golden energy spewed out, gradually turning into mist and swirling in the Dantian.

"The product of the fusion of Essence, Qi, and Spirit!"

Gazing at the product in the Dantian, Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

Instinct told him that the grade of this energy was extremely high.

"I must find an opportunity to try it!" The thought flashed in his mind.

After observing for a moment and seeing no further changes in the Dantian, only the accumulation of golden mist, he opened his eyes again.

[Source Energy]: 11374

His gaze swept across the panel, and after some digestion, the Source Energy Points left were over ten thousand, making him sigh at the extravagant consumption.

Sixty thousand Source Energy Points, a few months ago, was an astronomical figure to him.

Now, just breaking through the Inner Elixir Cultivation had directly reduced it to ten thousand points.

Moreover, if the Inner Elixir Cultivation wished to break through to the next level, the consumption would skyrocket again, reaching a requirement of a hundred thousand points.

Thinking of this, he secretly gasped.

A hundred thousand Source Energy Points, if extracted from ordinary herbs, could make him sick of eating.

It was also unknown how long it would take.

Shaking his head, he dispelled the distractions in his mind.

Then, he looked at the panel again, focusing on the Skills section.

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation (Three times limit-breaking 2871/40000) (Traits: Longevity Species (↑Deep Purple) Pure Yang Body (Deep Purple))

[Longevity Species]: Born extraordinary, with a strong life source, vigorous vitality, and extended lifespan.

Seeing the change on the panel, Jiang Ning's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

"Longevity Species has been upgraded!"

"Strong life source!"

He muttered as he read the description of the Longevity Species trait, contemplating.

After a moment, he shook his head again.

Though he had a hypothesis in his heart, he couldn't verify it.

But he also knew that all in all, his lifespan far exceeded that of ordinary people, and it was not just a simple matter of enhancing Martial Arts Realm to extend life.

In his speculation, perhaps it was the fundamental difference in the lifespan of species.

Just like the mayfly, which lives for only one day.

While cats and dogs, have a lifespan of over ten years.

Humans, have a lifespan of nearly a hundred years.

A turtle, its lifespan can easily surpass a hundred years.

The key to the difference in lifespan, he felt, might be related to the life source.

And those life-extending Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, perhaps could supplement this key mysterious substance.

After pondering for a long time, he closed the panel.

In any case, he knew that this was a good thing.

His lifespan had increased once again, and his future held infinite possibilities.

Now he even saw the possibility of near-immortality solely through trait enhancement.

Just the thought of it brought him some joy.

Without obtaining immortality, no matter how extraordinary the talent, there will ultimately come a day when one turns to dust.

Just like the present, the only Martial Saint under the heavens.

Suppressing the world for eight hundred years, keeping the Cave Heaven Blessed Land hidden.

Forcing all the sects to bow down.

Also bringing peace to the world for more than eight hundred years.

But now, as the lifespan of that Martial Saint was nearing its end, rumors spread under the heavens.

All forces were probing, eager to try their hand.

From his understanding alone, he knew that the years of drought, as well as last winter's snow disaster, were all man-made, not natural disasters.

He also witnessed the existence of two Grotto Heavens.

The Qingyuan Cave Heaven in Dongling County and the Qingyang Cave Heaven under the Qingyang Sect.

All of these were because the lifespan of that Martial Saint was nearing its limit, causing all the forces to become active and constantly testing the waters.

This was undoubtedly a lament of the king's fall and the gathering of wolves.

If that Martial Saint's life source were strong, with another hundred years of life, how could the world's situation come to this?

...

Then.

Jiang Ning closed his eyes again.

The next moment.

He abruptly opened his eyes.

"There are about six or seven people left, all in that direction!" He looked towards the direction where the river was before with a surprised expression.

On the entire island, except for him, everyone was in that direction.

"It seems it wasn't just me who had this thought, they did too!" Jiang Ning realized, the thought flashing by.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly moved.

Those people had already gathered, so he had no reason not to go.

...

Beside the Yang River.

On a hilltop.

Seeing the two people walk out from the forest, a look of joy flashed in Xie Yang's eyes.

"Indeed, the strong are always confident and proud!"

Feeling the Four Spirits Array base and the formation set up with Spirit Crystals, his heart was at ease.

Yesterday, after walking from a mine to the Spirit Crystals, he came up with today's plan.

Laying down the Array Base Stones in advance, when needed, a mere thought would activate the array.

The same formation, with Spirit Crystals as supplements and without, would result in entirely different effects.

This time, with the aid of Spirit Crystals, the power of the Four Spirits Array would be incomparable to before.

Facing Jiang Ning again, within the array, he had complete confidence in victory.

Hence, he devised today's plan.

Setting the Four Spirits Array Base in advance, causing a sword cry, attracting strong figures from all directions to gather.

He knew that those who survived after entering the Shangyang Cave Heaven were truly strong individuals.

And the strong, were confident and proud.

Faced with such an invitation, any strong men with ideas would surely come.

By then, he only needed to wait for everyone to gather, then activate the Four Spirits Array, eliminating all strong men who came to honor the invitation.

In this way, he could become the sole winner of the trial within three day-night cycles.
