Chapter 1502: Chapter 7: The Unexpected Effects of the Nine Netherworld Tribulation Fire True Technique

National Master Mansion.

"Prince Pingjian!" Jiang Ning murmured softly.

He then closed his eyes.

Inside his body.

Swish——

He saw waves of cold, dark water gushing from within, transforming into tides that surged towards every corner of his body.

Veins and vessels became mighty rivers.

The tides washed away the residual impurities in his body.

When the tides reached their peak, they surged back, vast and mighty.

They were like torrents scouring the silt settled at the riverbed.

This was a tidal wave of accumulated energy.

An energy tide originating from his inner world.

When the tide returned to the center of his body, it suddenly vanished without a trace.

But at this moment he could clearly see that, after the cleansing, his body looked like pure, flawless glass.

His body and mind seemed to have been purified, with a lingering sense of the yin and yang fusion from last night.

"Indeed, it’s the inheritance of the Great Heavenly Venerable!" A sigh passed through Jiang Ning’s heart.

The next moment.

Boom——

Suddenly a Li Fire erupted from within him, spreading wildly.

In an instant, it filled every part of his body, even burning fiercely within the Spirit Platform.

Within the fierce flames, he felt various thoughts of distraction, desires, greed...

Countless negative elements of the human body were burned away, turning to nothingness in the fire.

But at this moment, he continuously restrained himself inwardly.

After a long time.

The Li Fire in his heart receded, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow, calm and still, as if all emotions and desires had vanished from his heart.

But after just a few breaths.

His eyes regained their spirit, and his desires returned to his heart.

"That’s a relief!" The worry hanging in his heart disappeared.

Although he pursued power.

He didn’t want to abandon his human emotions and desires for it.

In his view, he was ultimately a normal person, not chasing the emotionless Dao, the illusion of Unity of Heaven and Man.

In his heart, if a person has no emotions or desires, then living is no different from being dead.

The heart’s desires are what make someone human.

He didn’t want to sever his emotions and desires.

So he always steadfastly held onto them, aiming always to remain human, not a celestial or a deity!

Such thoughts flashed swiftly through his mind in an instant.

Then, he tilted his head back to breathe towards the sky.

"One breath in, one breath out, drawing the Heavenly River to hang in reverse into the Purple Mansion."

A thought flashed through his mind, resonating with heaven and earth, as he began to attempt breathing in harmony with the celestial powers.

With each breath in and out.

A few wisps of white mist reluctantly coalesced in the void.

The white mist, like threads and lines, merged into his body with his breath, dissipating within.

The threads of mist that entered his body instantly brought a faint sense of coolness and comfort.

But that was all.

The so-called reverse hanging of the Heavenly River did not occur.

"Could this be a side effect of the change in the world environment?"

After more than ten breaths, Jiang Ning mused to himself.

He then persisted for another dozen breaths, with the same result.

Still, strands of white mist flowed into his body.

Entering his body, they were like raindrops falling on the desert, disappearing in an instant, leaving no trace.

A short while later.

"Exhale and intake, harness the Earth Vein Tribulation Fire to refine the Golden Core!"

Twelve words flashed in his mind, and then he closed his nose, opened his mouth to breathe.

As he inhaled, the golden light in the world gathered into a flame, which promptly surged into his mouth and entered his abdomen. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

In an instant.

Golden flames appeared in the Dantian, beginning to smelt the inner core.

"Fire refining the Golden Core!"

Noticing the scene in the Dantian of his abdomen, Jiang Ning felt a stir in his heart, greatly pleased.

Initially, he was worried about being unable to achieve the next step after failing to draw the Heavenly River in reverse into the Purple Mansion.

Unexpectedly.

Though he didn’t draw the Earth Vein Tribulation Fire to refine the Golden Core.

He nevertheless drew the True Sun Fire to refine the inner core.

The two have a unique similarity.

"Indeed, the Dao has no fixed form! There are many paths that can be taken!"

He mused inwardly and then felt another thought arise.

"However, perhaps I am naturally different!"

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill experience +23]

Suddenly, a notification flashed before his eyes, causing his heart to tense.

"The progress of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill has increased?"

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Four Times Limit Break 1277/50000) (trait: Longevity Species (Deep Purple) Pure Yang Body (Deep Purple) Great Sun Furnace (Deep Purple))

Immediately, he looked at his own panel.

The experience value that had long been dormant increased once more at this moment.

And the growth was considerable.

Just one leap brought twenty-three points of experience.

"Higher efficiency than before, comparable to the Yanghu Cave Heaven!" A thought flashed across his mind.

Instantly understanding why this was so.

Because previously he had mastered the Summer Treasure Manual, and after breaking the limit, he mastered the Yangyan True Fire.

Now operating the Nine Netherworld Tribulation Fire True Technique, the energy he inhaled was not Earth Vein Tribulation Fire, he currently didn’t have that condition.

Thus, he absorbed Yang Fire into his body to refine the Golden Core.

Unexpectedly, it brought such a surprising delight.

A moment later, another notification flashed before him.

The successive notifications made him quietly joyful.

In his view, this was an unexpected harvest.

Moreover, it showed him new directions and paths.

If he continued the original direction, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill could only absorb the Great Sun Essence Qi during noon to refine the organs and inner core.

For his current foundation, this efficiency was too low.

Essence Qi was just energy, for him now, it was difficult to cause much impact.

But the True Sun Fire he ingested at present was different.

Fire refining the Golden Core brought surging energy.

After another short while, the flames diminished.

When the third notification flashed.
