This is also the reason he asked Xie Xiaojiu to come over.

The next moment.

Jiang Ning held Sword Nine, and the long sword in his hand instantly became very obedient.

At this moment, Sword Nine could feel the stronger sense of oppression Jiang Ning brought to it.

Facing this master, Sword Nine dared not misbehave in the slightest.

It knew that Jiang Ning had the ability to erase its spirituality at any time.

Afterward.

Jiang Ning held Sword Nine.

"Help me comprehend the swordsmanship!" he said quietly to himself.

"Yes, master!" Sword Nine responded.

Since he refined the spiritual weapon Sword Nine last time, his heart spirit had been connected with the spirituality of Sword Nine.

Afterward, he began to practice the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword.

In an instant.

Sword intent spread all around, as if starlight appeared in the sky, with intermingling sword glows that were mesmerizing and dazzling.

At this moment, holding Sword Nine and practicing the Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Sword Technique, Jiang Ning felt himself blending with the spirituality of the sword, instantly feeling different.

Brilliant flashes kept passing through his mind, bringing moments of enlightenment.

Never before had it been so clear.

Every move he made brought fresh insights.

[...]

After a moment.

Jiang Ning sheathed his sword and stood, eyes slightly closed, with numerous new insights colliding in his mind.

After a long time, he opened his eyes.

Looking at Sword Nine in his hand, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

Holding Sword Nine and practicing the Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Sword Technique, he acquired nearly double the corresponding experience value.

"Perfection is not difficult!" he murmured to himself.

On the other side.

Inside Xie Xiaojiu's body, torrents echoed intermittently.

This was the sound produced by Xie Xiaojiu's unique Bone Forging Method.

Jiang Ning glanced twice, then withdrew his gaze and continued practicing the Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Sword Technique. He felt that with his current efficiency, he had the opportunity to achieve perfection in this sword technique within a day.

...

In the blink of an eye.

The moon was bright, stars were sparse, and the sky was cloudless.

The bright moonlight spilled over Dongling City, enveloping the east and west major districts on both sides of the Nu River.

As the night deepened, this county town built adjacent to the Dongling Mountain Range gradually quieted down, and the people slowly drifted into dreams.

On the other side.

In the east courtyard of Jiang Ning's residence.

Sword glows intersected vertically and horizontally, with Cold Light constantly flashing, casting a chilling illumination all around.

Not far away.

Inside Xie Xiaojiu's body, torrents continued to echo, sometimes evolving into roars of mighty rivers and streams.

Until the moon reached its zenith.

Jiang Ning's sword momentum shifted.

Looking up from the courtyard, one could see the seven major stars above suddenly becoming brighter, followed by falling starlight.

The sword light suddenly became more sharp, and the air was thick with a strong killing intent.

Suddenly, the power of each move soared, advancing by several levels.

"Perfection!!"

Jiang Ning instantly realized.

Then, he did not falter, and the sword light still surged like a tide.

He was also carefully understanding the intricacies of the Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Sword.

According to the legacy in his mind.

With the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword perfected, when this sword technique is performed at night, it can summon the Northern Dipper stars, with starlight falling to drastically increase the sword technique's power.

More crucially, with the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword perfected, one can comprehend the Demon Suppression Sword Intent.

Demon Suppression Sword Intent, conquers the inner demons.

From now on, there will be no returning to demonic paths.

In his understanding, this sword intent could cut off inner distractions and strands of annoyance, to maintain a pure heart like a newborn child.

A pure heart is a talent that countless martial artists dream of.

The human heart is full of distractions; no matter what one does, it is difficult to maintain true focus, always influenced by numerous external factors and inner distractions.

This thus leads to inefficient results.

The same applies to practicing martial arts.

Even people with firm willpower find it difficult to maintain prolonged focus.

But being able to focus, and devote oneself entirely to something, can yield amazing results even for those with ordinary talent.

The Seven Star Demon Suppressing Sword suppresses exactly this kind of inner demons.

Demon Suppression Sword Intent also cuts this kind of inner demon.

Cutting off inner distractions and strands of annoyance, thus achieving prolonged focus and undistracted attention.

This is of great benefit to martial arts.

After a long time.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally... perfection!!" He looked at his panel and exhaled a breath of impure energy from his belly.

Then, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"To have practiced a superior sword technique to perfection in a single day, though there are many factors involved, a sense of accomplishment still arose in his heart."

He gripped his sword again.

"Next is to break the limit! I wonder what trait will be derived from the first limit break!"

Subsequently.

The sword light in the courtyard once again spread in all directions, filled everywhere with a murderous atmosphere.

Jiang Ning fused with the spirituality of Sword Nine in his hand, as if his sword dao talent had increased by a margin out of thin air, and his understanding of sword intent deepened.

The Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Sword Technique in his hand was superbly executed, countless starlights descended from above him, seemingly spanning thousands of miles in an instant, falling onto his courtyard.

Jiang Ning's practice grew increasingly smooth, his sword moves executed with more harmony and ease.

[...]

However, as the realm of the Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Sword technique improved, the efficiency in gaining experience value still suffered a significant decline.

The moon sword sank to the west.

Only then did Jiang Ning stop practicing his sword.

Holding the spirit sword, he recollected the feeling he had just experienced.

His heart was clear, the sword technique flowed effortlessly without the slightest obstruction.

This feeling made him feel extremely pleasant.

He glanced at the panel again, then closed it, and his gaze finally fell on Xie Xiaojiu.

At this moment, the sound of waves still echoed within Xie Xiaojiu's body.

After a short break.

Xie Xiaojiu opened her eyes, looking at Jiang Ning.

"Sir, have you finished practicing your sword?"

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded, and then asked, "How is the progress?"

"Halfway through the Jade Bone!" Xie Xiaojiu replied.

"Good!" Jiang Ning immediately nodded in approval.

"Is the sir going to sleep now?" Xie Xiaojiu was dressed in a tight black long dress.

Jiang Ning nodded again.

"Then I'll return first!" she said.

With those words, she rose to leave.

"It's too dark, stay here for the night, and tomorrow I'll help you break through the Jade Bone Realm."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaojiu looked at Jiang Ning with a startled expression.

"There's a bed in the room next door, make do for the night!" Jiang Ning said.

"Alright!" Xie Xiaojiu nodded slightly.

...

Later.

Xie Xiaojiu washed herself briefly in the lake and, after dressing, headed to the room next door that Jiang Ning mentioned.

At this moment, Jiang Ning had already placed his quilt on Xie Xiaojiu's bed.

To him, bedding was not a necessity.

Unable to find a new quilt, he simply took the quilt from his bed to the room next door for Xie Xiaojiu's use.

A moment later.

Smelling the familiar scent on the quilt, Xie Xiaojiu felt at ease and soon fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day.

As the first strand of morning sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell beside Jiang Ning through the window, Jiang Ning opened his eyes as well.

Seeing the sunlight pouring in, he habitually covered his eyes.

He then relaxed his eyes, turned over, and got out of bed.

After donning loose practice clothes, he pushed open the tightly closed door.

In an instant, the morning sun filled the room, which became bright.

As the morning mountain wind blew, he took a deep breath of the morning mountain air and felt instantly refreshed.

[Source Energy]: 65431

Looking at the number on his panel, he suddenly felt confident.

With over sixty thousand Source Energy Points, it was enough to support him to complete multiple limit breaks of the Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Sword.

After multiple limit breaks, the Demon Suppression Sword Intent will touch rules, the sword intent will connect to the Heavenly Person, and he can also complete the seventh Blood Exchange, thus greatly enhancing his strength to secure a position.

At this moment, he thought of the Great Demon in the Luoshui River.

Recalling the eight words Zhao Yulong said yesterday.

Remain silent, observe the changes!

Clearly, those above do not want to deal with the Great Demon Bai Chi with the Human Emperor Sword within its belly right now, but rather wish to first expose the person behind that Great Demon.

"Wonder when the situation will descend into chaos."

He murmured softly, his heart calm.

Previously, when Shen Wenyan made a move, he returned injured without even seeing the enemy.

It's clear that the strength of the unseen adversary and Shen Wenyan, a Second Grade Grandmaster, are not on the same level, most likely the Peak of First Grade Martial Arts.
