As long as there are enough Source Energy Points, any upper limit can be broken in an instant, allowing him to ascend to another realm, to climb another level. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As for ordinary bottlenecks, they are even simpler.

With enough accumulation, it becomes a matter of course, leading to an instant breakthrough.

As thoughts flashed in his mind, he looked again at the Source Energy Points section on the panel.

[Source Energy]: 298755

The accumulation of Source Energy Points over these days made him even more affluent.

Having originally fallen below the 300,000 Source Energy Points mark, after these days, he has once again approached the 300,000 mark.

"After the breakthrough, the remaining Dragon Seal Spiritual Liquid should be sufficient for me to complete a breakthrough of the upper limit as calculated before."

"It would be just right to see how this mysterious cultivation technique performs after the breakthrough."

He thought silently, then looked towards the direction of the front courtyard.

Under Hong Mian’s guidance, a tall and heroic man appeared before him.

The man looked young, around the age of forty.

His face bore the lines of stories.

His brows and eyes were like swords, and his gaze swept through all directions, yet it was extremely fierce.

The snowflakes falling from the sky at the moment were like cotton but did not fall on the man at all.

Watching the Divine Might King pacing towards him, Jiang Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The progress in the Spirit Platform Illuminating True Self Technique had strengthened his spirit further.

He could clearly feel that the Divine Might King, as he approached, had already merged with this realm.

Achieving a state where gods and heaven harmonize, man and heaven become one.

This is an extremely profound realm.

This realm is neither first-grade nor second grade, but a mysterious understanding.

An understanding of the world, a communication with the Heavenly Dao.

In such a state, the power that can be unleashed in every move is not only one’s own power.

There is also the vast Power of Heaven and Earth, which is heavenly might, not human strength.

"Not worthy of being the chief disciple of a Martial Saint, not worthy of being Xiao Wuque’s senior brother!" Jiang Ning’s heart flashed with amazement.

"Greetings, Divine Might King!" Jiang Ning stepped forward two steps to greet him and cupped his hands.

"No need for such formality, Dongling Marquis!" Li Tianwen, the Divine Might King, upon seeing Jiang Ning, laughed heartily and strode forward.

Then he excitedly held Jiang Ning’s shoulder, his brows full of praise and admiration.

"Junior Brother Xiang mentioned you to me many times before, but I was indifferent!"

"Looking at it now, Dongling Marquis truly lives up to his reputation. No wonder the teacher would come out of seclusion for you, showcasing his divine might! Now in the world, no one dares to say that the teacher’s deadline is near!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning felt quite ashamed.

"Thanks to the Residence Master believing in me, coming all this way to support and back me up!"

Divine Might King said, "Though the teacher did this to support you, it also made you stand in the spotlight."

Jiang Ning shook his head: "Even if the Residence Master did not act, the world’s focus would still fall on me, unavoidable and inevitable."

"Indeed!" Divine Might King nodded in agreement: "Reaching this point, Dongling Marquis has no way to retreat! The attention must gather on you."

...

At the same time.

The meeting between Jiang Ning and Li Tianwen, the Divine Might King, had not yet ended when an indescribable tremor swept over the entire capital, and even further regions, without warning.

It was not sound, nor vibration, but a "resonant tremor" from the depths of the essence of heaven and earth.

All martial artists who had reached a certain level of cultivation, especially those second-grade Great Grandmasters and above whose spirit could resonate with heaven and earth, all felt a violent shock in their hearts at that moment and involuntarily looked towards the east.

Jiang Ning and Li Tianwen almost simultaneously stopped speaking, their gazes like lightning, piercing through the pavilions and towers of the National Master Mansion, looking far towards the eastern horizon.

"This feeling..." Li Tianwen frowned tightly, the aura around him that merged with heaven and earth showed subtle disorder: "It is a power surpassing the first-grade boundary that is erupting, and moreover... not just one! In the East, at the coast!"

In Jiang Ning’s Spirit Platform, the True Spirit imprint glowed faintly, and although he did not fully expand his Divine Thought, he could vaguely sense the overwhelming pressure coming from a distance, enough to make the soul tremble.

That pressure was filled with vast water vapor, violent thunder, and a primal, ancient Grotto Heaven aura, as well as another... familiar yet awe-inspiring, majestic and domineering Martial Arts will!

"It’s the Residence Master’s aura!" Jiang Ning blurted out, his eyes shining brilliantly. Although faint and across an unimaginable distance, he would never mistake that unique Martial Arts True Intent belonging to a Martial Saint.

Li Tianwen’s expression was extremely grave, and he nodded slowly: "The teacher... has acted again, it is that spirit body crossing endless miles, directly descending at the East Sea!"

At the same time, in the east, the coastal Sea State.

Here has been the portal to the East Sea since ancient times, with vast sea territories. At this moment, the sky, which should have been overcast in winter, was torn apart by endless divine light and chaotic energy.

Above the sky, a figure stood towering, enveloped in azure water vapor, with an aura so strong it caused the seawater within a thousand miles to roll back, and the clouds in the sky to shatter.

Its pressure had already surpassed the ordinary first-grade realm, reaching an inconceivable level, precisely a peerless expert from an ancient Grotto Heaven!

His entire body carried an aura from within the Grotto Heaven.

That was an aura entirely different and extraordinarily exceptional from this world.

"Martial Saint! Do you truly want to exterminate completely? I am merely seeking ancient legacy in this state, not touching the foundation of your Great Xia!" The figure in the azure water vapor let out a thunderous question, shaking the heavens, like a lightning explosion, causing thousands of creatures within Sea State to tremble with fear.

Then, a sound of the earth and sky leaping responded to him.

Dong——

As the sound rang out, countless strong individuals suddenly stopped, and invisible ripples spread across the distant sky.

Following that, the figure shrouded in dazzling white light abruptly appeared above the East Sea.

At this moment, people in the thirty-six residences of the Nine States, countless Great Grandmasters who have achieved harmony between god and heaven, all witnessed this scene.

They saw a fist thrown out.

As ordinary as the fist was, once launched, a divine light burst forth.

In the next moment, this divine light filled the heavens and earth, transforming into a supreme Martial Arts torrent that split chaos and defined the universe!

"Emerging from the Grotto Heaven, you deserve to be punished!"

The voice of the Martial Saint was calm and indifferent, yet it resonated like a command from the Heavenly Dao, echoing in the depths of every perceptive strong individual’s heart.

This voice did not come from the East Sea, but directly from the essence of Martial Arts, from that eight-hundred-year invincible will.

The Grotto Heaven expert enveloped in azure water vapor was filled with fury and fear, unleashing all his power, summoning the Grotto Heaven’s secret treasure, an ancient world phantom emerging behind him in an attempt to resist.

For a moment, over the East Sea, laws twisted, the void rippled, as if two worlds were colliding.

But all this was futile beneath the Martial Saint’s fist.

Where the fist light passed, the azure water vapor scattered, the Grotto Heaven phantom wailed and shattered, and the protective secret treasure beyond the grade was perforated like paper.

"No—!" The brutal and unwilling roar was abruptly cut off.

As the fist light receded, above the East Sea, the clouds dispersed, and sunlight once again scattered over the waves. The presence of that powerful Grotto Heaven expert had completely vanished, along with all traces of his existence, erased from the world by that supreme punch.

Only on the sea surface, a giant whirlpool, deep and bottomless, with edges smooth like a mirror, slowly rotated, devouring endless seawater, seemingly recounting the terror of that strike.

Furthermore, a trace of lingering, all-subduing Martial Arts True Intent permeated the shores of the East Sea, enduring and undissipated, as if warning all those whose eyes were set upon this realm.

Back in the Royal Capital, front hall of the National Master Mansion.

A short-lived deathly silence.

Li Tianwen exhaled a long breath of impure energy, his eyes complex with shock, pride, and a hint of deep-seated worry. "The teacher... is still as overbearingly unparalleled. Over a distance of thousands of miles, with one blow of his spirit body, he instantly killed a Grotto Heaven expert whose strength was likely not inferior to mine."

Jiang Ning remained silent, seeing more clearly.

The Spirit Platform Illuminating True Self Technique endowed him with powerful spiritual perception, derived from the same lineage cultivation technique as the Martial Saint, allowed him to perceive more clearly the reasoning within that punch— it was the purest power, a Martial Arts will that breaks all rules and suppresses all doctrines.

Indeed, the Martial Saint may be in his later years, perhaps his Qi-Blood is no longer at its peak, but this will, this level of understanding of Martial Arts, seems even more unfathomable and overbearing!!
