Inside the courtyard.

Jiang Ning stands up.

"I'll be leaving for a moment!" he said to Lv Yi.

The next moment.

His figure disappeared from the courtyard, leaving only a swirling airflow in place.

Thirty minutes later.

Jiang Ning appeared within a primitive forest.

This place was several dozen miles away from Guangning City.

His Divine Sense spread out, sweeping several miles around.

He nodded immediately.

"This is the place!"

In his brief scan, although this forest was not particularly remote, it was sparsely populated, with little evidence of human activity.

For him, this place was just right.

Then.

He came to a spacious area of ground.

The ground was lush with greenery, surrounded by trees forming a circle, yet there was no cover overhead, and the midday sunlight fell fiercely from above.

For him, this place was just right.

To draw the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism into his body, and then perform Blood Exchange.

This requires a sufficiently open environment.

The next moment.

He sat down cross-legged.

This Blood Exchange is, for most, for the vast majority of Grandmasters, like passing through the gates of hell.

During the process, the body's Qi-Blood would deplete, the body enters dormancy, and the Life Fire nearly extinguishes.

For ordinary people, a blood loss of just thirty percent would result in shock and blurred consciousness.

Once blood loss reaches forty percent, organs would fail, irreversibly leading to death.

Even for Martial Artists of the Grandmaster Level, complete blood depletion cannot be sustained for long.

At the same time, when the blood is depleted, the body gradually enters dormancy, and the Life Fire is nearly extinguished, it is necessary to complete drawing in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism and then regenerate the blood in the body.

This is a significant challenge, with the difficulty increasing with each subsequent Blood Exchange.

It requires very strong physical endurance as support.

However, transformation through life and death.

From dormancy to revival.

Breaking through and then standing firm.

This will be a transformation of life.

With the integration of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism, the essence of life will transform, becoming evolution of life.

This is a path that rivals the Immortals.

Distracting thoughts slowly dissipated from his mind, leaving only his unwavering, absolute confidence.

It is a confidence that comes from within.

He knows that he is indeed invincible, invincible among his peers, invincible within his realm, and will ultimately be invincible.

This is both an instinctive belief and a reflection of reality.

A few days ago, he, with his Fourth Grade body, directly beat to death Xiao Qiushui, a Third Grade Heavenly Person Master.

This fact before him has already proven the source of his inner confidence.

And this moment of mental transformation is also a necessity for targeting the True Spirit in the cultivation of the True Spirit Nine Transformations Grandmaster Technique.

A few breaths later.

Jiang Ning's eyes shone as brightly as starlight and a bright moon, as he looked up towards the sky.

The great sun hung high; it was currently noon.

The dazzling sunlight fell from above, but had no effect on him at this moment.

Suddenly.

A bright inner core, seemingly emitting a radiant glow, was expelled from his mouth.

The inner core slowly rose.

Wind and clouds moved around him, a strong wind sprung up from the ground.

As the inner core rose, it seemed to be absorbing some material from the heavens and the earth, the emitted light becoming more noticeable, the radiance more intense.

More dazzling.

When it slowly rose three feet above his head, the inner core hung in the space between the heavens and the earth, no longer wavering.

But the surrounding light became intermittently bright and dim.

Even though it was noon, with the great sun high and no obstructions.

The light was intermittently bright and dim.

It was as if something was devouring the surrounding light.

At the same time.

Jiang Ning's tranquil heart began to stir with some emotion.

Because, at this moment, he suddenly realized, the inner core was his great advantage.

He could feel the inner core rising, merging with the heavens and the earth.

Suddenly, there seemed to be invisible gates opening, and as they did, strands of white radiance unseen to ordinary people, but perceivable to him, were drawn in and absorbed by his inner core.

This is the spiritual mechanism, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism.

The Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism was absorbed into the inner core and stored within it.

The current inner core became a vessel, a container for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism.

And this, was his advantage.

A significant advantage.

Because this would greatly shorten the Blood Exchange process for him.

In other words, even if the physical foundation was comparable, with the advantage of the inner core containing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism, he could perform more Blood Exchanges than others.

Thinking of this, he felt completely reassured in his heart.

He then maintained his original state.

Silently waiting as the inner core, three feet above his head, voraciously devoured the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism.

As a result, the surrounding light became intermittently bright and dim, with gusts of howling winds emerging from the ground continuously.

The beasts in the mountains at this moment continued to distance themselves from this place.

For a long time.

"It's almost there!"

Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

At this moment, he could feel that the accumulation of the inner core had reached an upper limit, and if it continued to absorb.

Instinctively, he knew that after reaching the limit, it might eventually explode.

Then, he controlled the rate of the inner core's absorption.

Then his mind concentrated within his body.

He saw the pulsing blood vessels within, like dragon veins meandering.

The scorching blood, like magma rolling.

The heart beat, slow and powerful.

Each beat would accelerate the flow of blood throughout his body, supplying the organs, circulating through the limbs and bones.

The next moment.

The Qi Blood Power within his body erupted, and his body in an instant seemed to transform into a furnace.

A blazing furnace.

The furnace was vigorous, intangible flames seemed to rise, with rolling heat waves emanating all around.

The plants around him quickly turned yellow, the moisture inside evaporated by the continuously spreading heat waves.

And at this moment.

Jiang Ning's body also gradually grew emaciated.
