Water Palace, inside the Starry Sky Hall.

  Inside this Starry Hall, the space is sometimes filled with howling winds, sometimes with flames that fill the sky, and sometimes with rainwater drifting down.

  Ji Ning summoned the wind and rain, as if nothing was impossible for him.

  "He's truly a genius." Huang Mao the Great Bear stood inside the thatched hut, gazing afar and couldn't help but exclaim, "To have made such progress in just four short years."

  "It's impressive." The black old cow's pair of ox eyes were even more rounded, "As long as this kid doesn't make any mistakes and doesn't die in the meantime, he will definitely reach the height of the great Huahua Xianren without a doubt."

  The yellow-haired big bear glanced at the black old cow: "Don't boast about your master, your master was stuck on the seventh floor of the War God Temple in the Earth Immortal stage... With the help of the Water Mansion, he finally became a scattered immortal. What kind of talent can compare to Ji Ning? Whether it's comprehension or temperament, Ji Ning is far superior to your master."

  The old black cow smiled foolishly.

  "Look." The black old cow said continuously, "Ji Ning has begun to comprehend the way of the sword."

  The big yellow bear also looked over...

  Only to see Ji Ning standing on the rocky beach, the original fierce wind and rain, fierce fire all disappeared, around began to appear a sword energy, a visible sword energy... began to ravage around Ji Ning, the sword energy shuttling back and forth, naturally contains the mystery of 'Sword Dao'. Constantly evolving Ji Ning's epiphany.

  Ji Ning himself was one of those glittering stars in the sky that people looked up to.

  That is the star containing the complete great way 'Sword Way'.

  Before, the way was like a blind man touching an elephant, slowly advancing step by step... But the star that contained the complete great way was like a lighthouse in the dark night, letting Ji Ning see the direction. Ji Ning's accumulation on the sword path also naturally began a 'thin hair' process.

  "The insight into swordsmanship is quite high." The black old cow exclaimed, "Ji Ning's insight into swordsmanship has long surpassed the level of Mingwu Sword Heart."

  "Hmm, better than I expected." Yellow Fur Big Bear also praised with a smile, "It seems that the master finally has a true successor."

  ……

  Time flies second by second.

  The sword energy around Ji Ning became even more mysterious and refined.

  The black old cow and the yellow-haired big bear, two spirits of the law, had also been watching Jining's enlightenment with great leisure. This one look was enough to pass half a month.

  "It's truly mysterious and unpredictable." Ji Ning suddenly exclaimed, and the surrounding sword energy completely disappeared without a trace.

  "Has your enlightenment been completed?" The black old cow shouted.

  Ji Ning turned his head to look, and saw the black old cow and the yellow-haired big bear inside the thatched hut. He nodded in surprise: "Being able to glimpse the entire complete sword path so freely is something that any swordsman would dream of. This time, I have discovered the entire sword path... I just realized that even the 'Three Chi Sword' of the Northern Journey Elders of the Black and White Academy is only a small part of the entire sword path. The road to immortality is indeed winding and far away."

  "Ji Ning." Huang Mao's face also had a hint of a smile, "What level has your swordsmanship reached now? Show me."

  "Please advise me, senior."

  Ji Ning's hand directly condensed into a primordial longsword.

  Jing Ning drew out a calm and tranquil sword.

  Yes. It's like 'drawing', as if a painter is waving his brush on the wall, so leisurely and carefree that he drew out a sword.

  "Whoosh!"

  When the yuan force long sword traversed the sky, a faint light suddenly appeared, leaving behind a visible mark of the sword in mid-air... as if a brush had left its mark on the void.

  The third move of the Three Chi Sword - Sword Tip Flash!

  "What a wonderful and reserved sword move. What an astonishing sword move." Huang Mao Da Xiong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise, "The person who can create such a sword technique is indeed exceptionally talented. I'm afraid they're even stronger than Yun Hua."

  The black old cow suddenly became angry: "Big brother, what is called stronger than Jiu Hua? My master Jiu Hua in the entire Daxia Dynasty's rule over this vast land, also has a reputation as a powerful loose immortal."

  Ji Ning said, "This sword technique is called 'Three Chi Sword', and it has a total of nine forms. The one I just used was the third form, 'Sword Tip Suddenly Appears', which is also my strongest sword move at present. This set of sword techniques was created by Beixing Xianren, the strongest sword immortal in the history of Heibai Academy in Anping County, who lived for over a million years... Of course, just talking about lifespan, it's not as long as that of Yun Hua senior."

  "Has he lived for over a million years?" Yellow Fur Great Bear looked at Black Old Cow, "Black Cow, this Northern Journey Immortal is just an immortal within the Anping County. To have achieved such accomplishments, I say his innate talent surpasses that of Yu Hua, shouldn't be wrong, right?"

  "Hmm, perhaps he has even more extraordinary adventures." The black old cow hummed.

  "You black cow! You're still arguing with me!" Huang Mao Da Xiong glared, "Is it because I locked you up for tens of thousands of years that you're feeling pleased?"

  "Big brother, let's talk it out, no need for violence!" The black old cow retreated two steps.

  Ji Ning couldn't help but secretly laugh at the sight.

  These two...

  One is the Ling of Xian Grade Treasure of Yunhua Immortal, and the other is even more so the creation of San Shou Dao Ren's this cave abode's Ling. Two Lings of Treasures can actually fight to such an extent.

  "Big brother, let's not make Jining laugh at us, right?" said the black old cow with a puffed face.

  Huang Mao Da Xiong lazily looked at the old cow, but instead spoke to Ji Ning: "Ji Ning, you've already comprehended the Dao in the Starry Sky Pavilion... even if you comprehend more, it won't be of use. You need to have a sufficient amount of Dao insight and accumulation in your daily life! What do you plan to do now?"

  "Senior," said Ji Ning, "I don't know how much of a chance I have of making it through the third level of the War God's Temple right now."

  "What about you now?" Huang Mao Da Xiong hesitated, "Your swordsmanship is indeed higher than I expected, especially this set of sword moves, called 'Three Chi Sword', it's really formidable! Hmm, you've also obtained my master's strongest divine ability... You should have a 30% chance of success if you go to the third floor of the War God Temple now."

  "Three successes?" Ji Ning was secretly shocked.

  The way of rainwater, the way of fierce fire, the way of strong wind... These three paths have made great progress.

  The way of the sword has also made extremely high progress and has grasped the third form!

  Ji Ning felt his strength had increased greatly! But unexpectedly, he only had a 30% chance of winning?

  "Are you going in?" asked Big Yellow Bear.

  "Charge!" Ji Ning nodded without hesitation.

  "Huh? You've decided to rush in again?" Huang Mao Da Xiong asked in puzzlement, "Don't you want to wait until your strength is a bit stronger and you have more confidence?"

  Ji Ning shook his head: "I have a feeling, my 'Vermilion Mark of the Ninth Heaven' should soon break through to the tenth level. Once it breaks through to the tenth level, it will be considered as having reached the Divine Demon Refining Body's Wànxiàng level. At that time, I will gain two new opportunities to venture into the God Palace, and the previous opportunity will have been wasted."

  At the time of the Divine Demon's Body Refining, Ji Ning had two opportunities. The first time he broke through the first floor of the War God Temple, and the second time he failed to break through the second floor of the War God Temple.

  When Shenmo refined his body in Zifu, Ji Ning also had two chances and only used one to pass through the second floor of the War God Temple.

  If this opportunity is missed...

  It will soon break through to the Wanxiang level, which is equivalent to a complete waste.

  "Let's go," said Yellow Fur Great Bear, "Follow me to the Temple of War God."

  ……

  Walked out of Xingchen Hall, along that wide corridor, soon arrived in front of Wargod Hall.

  His hand directly touched the bronze gate of the Temple of War, which had a layer of blood light on it. Whoosh, that layer of blood light directly engulfed Ji Ning and moved him away.

  On the vast and endless land, the soil seemed to be stained with blood, while in the distance stood a towering high tower.

  "Senior." Ji Ning saw a big yellow bear suddenly appear beside him.

  "Go to the third floor?" Huang Mao Da Xiong looked at Ji Ning.

  "Uh-huh." Ji Ning nodded.

  "Go!" Yellow Fur Great Bear pointed to the distant high tower, "Enter through the gate of the tower and you will directly enter the third floor. Remember, once you feel hopeless, immediately transfer out through the token, your opponent won't show mercy, if you accidentally lose your life it's not worth it."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  Whoosh!

  In a flash, he traversed hundreds of feet and arrived at the entrance of the tower shrouded in a hazy white light. With one step forward, space shifted.

  "The third layer?" Ji Ning looked around, this was a vast white space with a height of thousands of feet and a circumference of several thousand feet.

  "What is the third trial?" Ji Ning's hand suddenly appeared with the North Ming Sword, carefully observing his surroundings.

  Suddenly——

  A golden light appeared, and began to condense, soon this golden light condensed into a golden armored general. This golden armored general had a cold face, the armor on his body was extremely beautiful, and he held two large hammers in his hands.

  "Huh?" The Golden Armor soldier looked around, a hint of joy on his face, and quickly fixed his gaze on Ji Ning.

  Ji Ning felt his heart skip a beat.

  Danger!

  Danger!

  A faint sense of foreboding told Ji Ning that the golden-armored general before him would be extremely terrifying. The intuition of his divine soul had never been wrong, and Ji Ning's heart instantly tightened to its limits: "Didn't the Spirit of the Cave say I have a 30% chance of winning? A 30% chance is actually quite good, so why does this golden-armored general give me such an intense sense of threat? Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators don't give off such a terrifying aura."

  "Little guy, you feel pretty weak. Your divine body's aura isn't very powerful." The Golden Armored Warrior gazed at Ji Ning, "Although I've only condensed a single thread of divine power into this incarnation, defeating you... is too easy."

  Divine power?

  Doppelganger?

  Ji Ning naturally knew about the several major stages of the Divine Beast Physique.

  The Zi Fu stage is reborn from dripping blood.

  The Wanxiang stage is the appearance of facial features and external form.

  At the stage of Yuanshen, it is possible to separate a part of the flesh and blood to form an avatar. However, the 'avatar' separated at the Yuanshen stage cannot act independently, but must act together with the main body, under its influence. It does not possess **sex**.

  With just a thread of divine power, it can create a separate entity that can act on its own... That is absolutely an extremely powerful divine demon!

  "Divine demon?" Ji Ning held her breath. "At least it's a divine demon at the level of Return to Void, how can a divine demon's clone be moved out from the Temple of War Gods?"

  "What secrets does the Water Palace hold, anyway? Even back then, Jiuhua Immortal had already refined the palace to be portable. And that black cow said... Jiuhua Immortal always thought there were still secrets hidden within the palace." Ji Ning cursed inwardly, "After running into a divine demon's avatar in the Temple of War, even an idiot could guess that the Water Palace is hiding secrets."
