Subsequently, he mobilized the Qi Blood Power throughout his body, and under the direction of his will, condensed a small Qi-Blood Hammer.
Boom——
The small Qi-Blood Hammer fell, sending a giant shock throughout his body.
Bone Forging is about adding mysterious substances and pounding the bones.
This thunderous sound echoed within him as if a thunderstorm was exploding.
With the first burst of thunder, Jiang Ning continued to activate his Qi Blood Power.
Now, the Qi Blood Power within his body was vast, and with each hammer strike, thunder seemed to explode within him, causing his body to shake and the sand below to tremble.
The roaring inside him was louder than the crashing waves of the sea.
With each hammer strike, the mysterious substances from the Yin and Yang Stones continuously gathered within him.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
The roaring inside was stronger, louder, and faster with each strike.
Quickly becoming as rapid as a raging storm.
When the one hundred and eighth strike fell, the roaring in his body suddenly ceased.
"It's done!!"
Seeing that piece of Jade Bone turned to gold within his body, Jiang Ning was instantly overjoyed.
Yet another step forward, representing another advancement towards achieving Divine Bone.
Then he quietly felt the state of his body.
The intense action of Bone Forging successfully helped him digest some of the energy within.
His body instinctively absorbed this energy, replenishing his physical consumption.
The once overflowing state now decreased slightly, giving him a feeling of being able to eat and absorb more.
"Looks like I was right, the intense cultivation method of Bone Forging is indeed well suited for me to digest the excess Medicinal Power and energy accumulation."
His thoughts flickered through his mind, and then he struck while the iron was hot, continuing to refine the remaining Jade Bone within him.
As time passed, rounds of great suns rose from the east.
The large sun hanging high in the sky continued to increase.
From three rounds of the great sun to four rounds.
From four rounds of the great sun to five rounds.
Quickly approaching the miraculous moment of ten suns together in the sky.
The temperature between heaven and earth had frighteningly risen.
Jiang Ning remained unchanged in expression.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
A series of roars echoed from his body as if there was thunder exploding within.
With each refinement, the Jade Bone turned to gold, and the energy and Medicinal Power previously accumulated in his body were rapidly consumed. Jiang Ning also felt his progress in refining Divine Bone at a tremendous pace.
Quickly, the first Heavenly Gang Yang Stone and Earthly Fiend Yin Stone were completely absorbed by him.
The two stones also turned into transparent blocks.
Jiang Ning then took out two more stones.
...
On the other side.
Outside Shangyang Cave Heaven.
At this moment, it was precisely noon, and the poisonous sunlight spilled from overhead.
Compared to the spectacle three days ago, Yang Lake now seemed somewhat deserted, with many large ships sailing away.
Zhong Yue stood on the deck, gazing at the entrance to the Grotto Heaven above, squinting slightly due to the direct sunlight.
"Grandfather Xuan, are you really going to send me away?" Zhong Ling appeared behind Zhong Yue.
Hearing the voice of his granddaughter behind him, Zhong Yue turned around and nodded at Zhong Ling.
"The upcoming Five Mountains Prefecture will not be peaceful; you'll be much safer beside Jiang Ning than in the Zhong family!"
"Grandfather Xuan, since you know the danger, why not avoid it?" Zhong Ling asked.
"How can I avoid it?" Zhong Yue shook his head earnestly and continued, "Since I've taken up the role of Patrol Envoy of the Five Mountains Prefecture, some things I must do. As they say, when the sky falls, the tall one bears the brunt, and I am that tall one!"
"In my position, I must fulfill my responsibility; this is the path I have chosen for myself, and I cannot betray my choice."
Just then.
The figure of Ye Zhengqi silently appeared.
"Brother Zhong, is the situation in Five Mountains Prefecture really that bad?"
"Bad!" Zhong Yue nodded and continued, "The current situation in the Five Mountains Prefecture is far worse than Guangning Prefecture. I suspect that it won't be long before Five Mountains Prefecture falls into turmoil!"
"They've lain low for so many years, and now they dare to make a move; are they not afraid of being the first to show up and get shot?" Ye Zhengqi frowned slightly.
"Perhaps the one who gets shot isn't necessarily them?" Zhong Yue replied.
"Brother Zhong, do you know something? Have you heard something?" Ye Zhengqi showed a serious expression.
Zhong Yue shook his head: "This is only my intuition, but I trust this intuition!"
"Then who could be the one to get shot first?" Ye Zhengqi asked.
"I don't know!" Zhong Yue shook his head.
...
On the other side.
"Third Brother, why hasn't he come out yet?" Long Xingyun looked at Long Xiaofeng and asked.
"Don't know!" Long Xiaofeng shook his head.
"Third Brother, how did you actually lose to him?" Long Xingyun looked at Long Xiaofeng, finally choosing to voice the question in his heart.
"That Lord Jiang mastered extraordinary power!" Long Xiaofeng said.
"Extraordinary power?" Long Xingyun wondered.
"Second Grade is Divine Realm; do you know why the Peak of First Grade Martial Arts is a realm?" Long Xiaofeng opened.
"Mixed Yuan!" Long Xingyun replied.
"Correct!" Long Xiaofeng nodded: "Mixed Yuan as one, spirit, energy, and essence reach a perfect balance, blending as one; True Yuan fully transforms into Divine Power to achieve Mixed Yuan. It's the real peak of Martial Arts, and Uncle is currently at this level."
"At this level, one can be titled as Immortal in the world and qualify to set their sights on the Martial Saint!"
Hearing this, Long Xingyun couldn't help but show confusion: "What do you mean by these words, Third Brother?"
Long Xiaofeng said: "He has touched this level of power!"
"He has touched this level of power??!" Long Xingyun was taken aback.
Long Xiaofeng noticed Long Xingyun's shock, nodding.
"This… how is it possible!!" Long Xingyun said.
"I also found it unbelievable at first, and still do now, but the experience is truth!" Long Xiaofeng said.
...
Shangyang Cave Heaven.
When the tenth round of the great sun fully rose, this scene of ten suns together appeared.
An invisible fluctuation descended again.
Jiang Ning's thoughts moved, his Heart Spirit merged with heaven and earth.
[I just need a little more time, three two hours!]
[Two two hours!]
[No, one two hours]
Sensing that this fluctuation had not ceased, Jiang Ning quickly changed his words.
When this last request was sent out, the fluctuation suddenly stopped.
[One last concession]
With the descending of the Grotto Heaven's will, the fluctuation suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Ning quickly gathered his Heart Spirit and focused on completing this round's final refinement.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
Roaring within, like thunder exploding, like a windstorm.
Moments later.
The last hammer stroke fell heavily, turning another piece of Jade Bone to gold.
Jiang Ning opened his eyes, jumped up, grabbed his belongings, and rushed toward the island's center.
The Grotto Heaven's will clearly had self-awareness, capable of negotiation and communication. Who knows what kind of situation the external Heavenly Dao of the claimed spiritual aspect is?
Thoughts flashed in Jiang Ning's mind.
He had long heard that the Heavenly Dao had a spirit and consciousness.
But he had never truly witnessed it.
Now, he indeed witnessed the existence of the Grotto Heaven's will within Shangyang Cave Heaven and had communicated with it.
This also led him to think of the external Heavenly Dao.
While pondering, he rushed into the forest.
After just finishing Bone Forging, the stored Medicinal Power in his body was significantly consumed, making him feel capable of absorbing again.
Just like a sponge that was full but now drained of much water, able to absorb more again.
"Luckily, there's room to negotiate with the Grotto Heaven's will, otherwise it would have been a big waste!"
"After leaving this time, who knows how to get in next time!"
"I wonder if by relying on the Shangyang Immortal Sect True Disciple's Identity Token, there might be an opportunity to enter again?"
Another thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.
Then he thought of the previous reference.
Inner Realm.
"I wonder what the Shangyang Inner Scenery holds?"
At this moment, he harbored many doubts.
The Shangyang Immortal Sect is undoubtedly a terrifying power.
Turning the vast Pocket World into a trial ground.
Such might, akin to the creation of the world, fills him with utmost disbelief.
Over the past few days, besides the miraculous ten suns together and the eerie nights seeming different from the outside world.
Every flower, grass, tree, and wood is incredibly real.
Giving him sensory and tactile feelings no different from the outside world.
This is a real world, not a fantasy.
This is a true creation-like might.
"After finishing, I will go to the so-called Shangyang Inner Scenery to take a look!"
Jiang Ning decided within his heart.
