Chapter 1841 - 175: King Versus King!

Prince Mansion.

In front of the council hall.

Jiang Ning withdrew his heart and mind, quietly observing himself internally and externally, watching the blurred shadows within his body.

He realized that no matter how he concentrated his heart and mind, he couldn’t perceive those blurred shadows any clearer.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, a trace of deep thought in his gaze.

"The great secret of the human body..."

Warmth filled his heart, but then he secretly shook his head.

"It should be that both my spirit and body are still insufficient."

He calmed his mind, and another thought flashed through his mind, "Could it also be... that my perception is not yet strong enough?"

"If my perception becomes stronger, would those shadows become clearer? Would they cease to be mere vague outlines, and instead reveal their true appearance?"

After a moment of contemplation, he had no definite answer in his heart.

But he knew that the path had appeared.

He was no longer as before, not knowing where the path lay or what direction to follow.

"If what the Martial Saint said is true, then I only need to continue strengthening my body and elevating my mind to truly discern the appearance of those shadows!"

Various thoughts swiftly flitted through his mind.

Afterwards, he looked at the panel again.

[Source Points]: 433.3

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (Nine times limit-breaking 100000/100000) (Traits: Whale Swallowing (Dark Gold) Dan Sea (Light Purple) Dragon Tendon (Light Gold) Dragon Body (Dark Gold) Innate Spiritual Light (Light Gold))

Spirit Platform True-Self Observing Method (Nine times limit-breaking 32/100000) (Traits: True Self Only (Dark Gold), True Spirit Perception (Light Gold), Three Elements Unification (Light Gold), Foreknowledge (Dark Gold), Spiritual Wisdom (Light Gold))

Both cultivation techniques had reached nine times the limit.

As for source points, there were only a little over four hundred left.

Far from sufficient to break through in these two cultivation techniques.

A thought flashed in his mind, and he looked at the Vajra Immortal Body cultivation technique again.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Seven times limit-breaking 31077/80000) (Traits: Dragon Elephant Power (Light Gold), Leakless Body (Deep Blue), Ten-Foot Golden Body (Light Gold), Golden Body Imperishable (Light Gold), Qi Blood Furnace (Dark Purple) Unfinished Spine (Light Gold))

"Still at seven times. Next breakthrough requires two hundred source points, the one after requires five hundred."

"I can give it a try! See if breaking through this technique can make the changes happening in my body more apparent!"

"Just right, the Vajra Immortal Body is of extremely high grade, perfectly matching the path of infinite physical power. However, based on past experience, accumulating experience value for this technique has limited efficiency, far less than the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill with the help of abundant cultivation resources!"

At this time, Prince Zhenbei and Beicang King watched Jiang Ning’s thoughtful demeanor without daring to breathe.

The next moment.

They saw Jiang Ning return to his senses and rise slowly.

"Your Highness!" The two cupped their hands towards Jiang Ning.

"I still need to continue my cultivation!" Jiang Ning said.

"Then we shall take our leave first!" Beicang King bowed to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning nodded.

Then, the two bade farewell and left Jiang Ning.

Leaving the Prince Mansion.

Beicang King and Prince Zhenbei immediately exchanged glances.

"Brother Xu, did you notice that gaze just now?" Beicang King asked.

Prince Zhenbei, Xu Zhen, nodded solemnly, "That day, internally and externally, as if everything was laid bare, leaving no secrets!"

Hearing this, Beicang King nodded solemnly as well.

Then he said, "Brother Xu, what level do you think this King Luoshui has reached?"

Prince Zhenbei, Xu Zhen, narrowed his eyes slightly, then slowly shook his head.

"I don’t understand, I can’t fathom, I can’t see through it!"

"But just now, with that gaze, coupled with what just transpired, and usually when practicing, the reflection that we see in our minds like a godlike halo, it indicates that his recent cultivation focus is on the spiritual level."

Beicang King nodded in agreement.

Then he lamented, "It’s a pity he was born at the wrong time!"

At these words, Prince Zhenbei showed a look of agreement.

"Indeed, at this age, having reached the Immortal Realm, coupled with his recent demonstration, if placed in the era when Ancient Immortal Dao flourished, he would undoubtedly be a great existence whom we couldn’t even look upon! It is only in this era that we can walk alongside him!"

Beicang King nodded nostalgically.

...

On the other side.

In front of the council hall.

Jiang Ning set his stance, performed the corresponding movements, and began cultivating the Vajra Immortal Body.

The circulation of Qi-blood instantly turned his body into a furnace, with waves of heat surging all around, his muscles faintly glowing with a golden-red hue, with pale golden patterns occasionally flickering.

[Vajra Immortal Body experience value +173]

Upon seeing the first experience value increment displayed before him, Jiang Ning’s brows furrowed slightly.

Then, calming his mind, he re-entered the cultivation state.

[Vajra Immortal Body experience value +181]

[Vajra Immortal Body experience value +177]

[...]

One prompt after another appeared before him, and he also noticed that the efficiency was much higher than before.

Not only was there an increase in the single-time values, but the frequency had also increased.

In almost the time of half a tea’s worth, a prompt for experience value increment appeared.

...

At dusk.

A figure quickly arrived at Beicang King’s mansion, it was a trusted guard under his command.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is movement in the northern barbarians’ camp!"

Beicang King frowned, "What movement?"

"They sent an envoy, shouting from below the city that... tomorrow morning at dawn will be the time to break the city, and telling the city’s people to clean their necks and wait." The guard said, bowing his head.

Upon these words, Prince Zhenbei’s brow furrowed sharply within the hall.

"Alright then, you may withdraw!" Beicang King waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guard saluted, keeping his head down, his eyes on his toes, and retreated backwards.

Not until he crossed the threshold did he turn around and quickly leave.

Now, inside the hall, Beicang King looked at Prince Zhenbei.
