Shangyang Cave Heaven.

The token transformed into golden light and vanished between his brows.

Jiang Ning closed his eyes and saw the token appear within his Spirit Platform.

Soon after, he opened his eyes.

[The trial concludes, and you will soon be transported out of the trial grounds.]

He heard this ripple.

Jiang Ning attempted to merge his Heart Spirit with heaven and earth.

The next moment.

He felt a vast will descend upon him.

The height of the sky matched the expanse of this will.

In this instant, Jiang Ning felt like an ephemeral creature gazing at the azure sky.

[What is your request?]

A neutral voice devoid of emotion rang in Jiang Ning's Heart Spirit.

Immediately, Jiang Ning tried to use his Heart Spirit to communicate his desires.

[I need Earth Evil Yin Stone; this item is crucial on my path of cultivation!]

Jiang Ning sent out his request through his Heart Spirit.

The expansive will fell silent.

A long while passed.

[Granted!]

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Ning's initially tense heart instantly relaxed.

Soon after, the will relayed again.

[Request sparingly, do not indulge in greed. This item is the foundation of the grotto heaven.]

[I only need to take two more pieces!]

Jiang Ning communicated through his Heart Spirit.

The next moment.

The will disappeared and the oppressive aura in the void vanished with it.

"Success!" Jiang Ning opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance in his gaze.

Then he set off towards the nearest ocean region.

...

Moments later.

On the island's beach.

The azure waves undulated, the seawater a brilliant blue, appearing serene.

But if one looked a little farther, they'd see the seawater turning swiftly black.

Deep waters reveal chasms, indicating that a cliff in the seabed begins not far off.

Jiang Ning tossed his backpack and his spoils aside, then leaped into the sea.

This trial left him as the sole participant, so he wasn't worried about anyone taking these things.

As for bringing these items into the Yin Sea, it would be cumbersome.

Once entering the Yin Sea, the water quickly surged, enveloping him instantly.

Jiang Ning instantly felt a darkness chill course through him, akin to night.

Soon after, he shifted his internal aura, dispelling the cold, and swiftly advanced towards the seabed.

Moments later.

A purple-glond sea-bottom Yin River appeared in his line of sight.

The river serpentined like a dragon on the seabed, disappearing into the distant horizon.

Within the river, countless purple stones piled together, forming a river sparkling with purple brilliance.

"Reached!" Jiang Ning thought joyfully, and in a flash, stood before the sea-bottom purple river.

Standing before the purple river, he felt an indescribably thick yin energy face him.

The yin energy rising, occasionally morphing into bizarre shapes.

"Based on my previous calculations, two Earth Evil Yin Stones short from completing the forging of all 206 bones in my body, but to be safe, I should take three!" Jiang Ning pondered.

Without hesitation, he reached into the Yin River.

Soon, he extracted three Yin Stones.

Seeing that the grotto heaven's will hadn't descended, he didn't become greedy, holding the three Yin Stones as he swam towards the surface.

In a time less than a cup of tea, he arrived back at the surface.

Feet on solid ground, he felt grounded.

Opening his palm and seeing the three Yin Stones, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He came to this place fundamentally to seek out Heavenly Gang Yang.

Earth Evil Yin was found by chance, a delightful surprise.

Now, both were in hand.

The Bone Forging stage would enable further progress, beyond perfection.

Achieving Divine Bone, his power would ascend to new heights.

And push open the door to Martial Saint.

After slightly calming his turbulent mind, he again glanced up at the sky.

The sky was calm, two suns rising from the east.

"Since the grotto heaven's will hasn't urged me to leave, there's no rush to exit!" Jiang Ning eyed the bag he tossed aside, a thought crossing his mind.

Now he carried vast resources and wealth, his body absorbed nearly to a limit.

The spirit plants and treasures he could carry also reached a threshold.

Yet this place still brimmed with resources.

His earlier scavenging hardly seized everything.

Given time, he could digest the medicinal power and energy accumulated within, taking more with him.

With that thought, he took out a Heavenly Gang Yang Stone and an Earth Evil Yin Stone.

He placed the two stones before him.

Then he grasped the Yang Stone and placed it against his right molar.

The Yang Stone was sturdy, his teeth were the best means to dismantle its structure.

After undergoing five blood transfusions, his teeth fell and regrew, now the hardest part of his body, apt for forging top-tier divine weapons.

The next moment, his jaws exerted force.

Snap—

With that sound, the Yang Stone's structure was swiftly broken, a notch appearing at its side.

With the notch's appearance, strands of gold threads began to seep out and drop.

Observing this, he sent the Yin Stone into his mouth.

Snap—

A clear sound followed as the Yin Stone in his mouth cracked a notch as well.

He placed the two mystical stones before him again, then closed his eyes slightly.

As his mind circulated, the yin-yang stones slowly floated from the ground, hovering before him.

His mouth took a breath.

In an instant.

The yin-yang energies from the stones seemed drawn by a force, converging towards his mouth.

The next moment.

Jiang Ning felt two extreme powers enter his body.

One was utterly yin and cold, the other was fiercely yang and strong.

Immediately he used his mind to guide the two energies entering his body.

With previous Bone Forging experience, he navigated these energies into his body's Jade Bone through intention.
