Chapter 434: Breaking Limits in Movement, Mastering the Spatial Minor Divinity!

March 7th, 2025

Within the Dongling Mountains.

Jiang Ning demonstrated the Gale Thunder Step, moving as swiftly as the wind.

His figure resembled a gentle breeze at times and a flash of thunder at others.

【Gale Thunder Step Experience +2】

【Gale Thunder Step Experience +3】

【Gale Thunder Step Experience +3】

【.】

After more than two hours.

He halted his steps.

His gaze fell upon the panel.

【Yuan Neng】: 2443

【Technique】: Gale Thunder Step + (4 Limit Breaks 5000/5000) (Attributes: Wind's Breathing, Swift Gale and Thunder, Chase Wind and Lightning, Wind's Rhythm)



As he examined his panel, Jiang Ning's gaze became fixed.

After maxing out the experience value, his Yuan Neng points also met the requirements for breaking the limit.

There was no longer any hesitation in his mind.

The importance of movement skills was beyond doubt.

With speed as an advantage, he could advance or retreat as he pleased, having the choice to engage or withdraw.

Moreover, exceptional movement skills greatly enhanced one's strength.

The next moment.

His mind stirred with sudden realization.

The Yuan Neng points rapidly decreased.

【Yuan Neng】: 443 (2443→443)



At the same time.

He slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, the scene before him changed.

Within his vision, there was endless darkness.

In the darkness.

He saw countless golden runes fluttering, golden threads, and golden patterns.

The runes, threads, and patterns swirled around him.

As he gazed at the profound mysteries swirling in the infinite darkness, he seemed to understand something, yet it was like trying to grasp the moon's reflection in water or flowers in the mist, intangible and illusory.

Suddenly.

The golden shadows rushed into his body.

Various profound mysteries emerged in his mind.

The depth of the information they contained was beyond his comprehension.

In the end, these incredibly profound pieces of information transformed into four words of enlightenment in his mind.

Shrink Earth to an Inch.

As he comprehended everything, his eyes snapped open.

His first instinct was to look at his panel.

【Yuan Neng】: 443

【Technique】: Gale Thunder Step (5 Limit Breaks 2/6000) (Attributes: Wind's Breathing, Swift Gale and Thunder, Chase Wind and Lightning, Wind's Rhythm, Shrink Earth to an Inch)



Shrink Earth to an Inch.

Upon seeing these four words.

His eyes narrowed, and his pupils contracted.

【Shrink Earth to an Inch】: Spatial Minor Divinity.

As he read the description on the panel, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Spatial Minor Divinity? he wondered silently.

Then, he looked ahead, slowly lifting his right foot.

As he lowered it, his figure instantly appeared several zhang away.

Glancing back at his original position, Jiang Ning was stunned.

He had truly relied on his instincts to use the Shrink Earth to an Inch minor divinity.

With a casual attempt, he took a step and instantly appeared several zhang away.

Such an incredible ability left him feeling amazed.

Even though he had successfully executed it, he still didn't understand how he had managed to do so.

It was as if walking, sitting, and lying down were all innate to the body.

Subsequently.

He tried again.

His figure constantly appeared and disappeared on the peak of the mountain.

Sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes up, sometimes down.

Sometimes he would appear several zhang away, and other times over ten zhang.

At times, he would even appear in the air several zhang above the ground.

As Jiang Ning became more proficient, one figure would barely disappear before another appeared.

Afterimages overlapped, as if countless figures were appearing simultaneously from all directions.

Moments later.

When Jiang Ning's figure came to a stop.

Several afterimages slowly dissipated from all directions behind him.

At this moment, he felt his body turning weak.

The brief experiment of repeatedly using the Shrink Earth to an Inch minor divinity had nearly exhausted his spirit, energy, and stamina.

However, at this moment, his face showed no signs of fatigue; instead, his eyes shone brightly, and his entire being radiated a feeling akin to the rising sun.

The fifth limit break of Gale Thunder Step had granted him mastery over a minor divinity.

Such a harvest was beyond his expectations.

Its power lived up to the name of a minor divinity.

Through his experiment.

It was a true spatial minor divinity.

With a single step, he could shrink the earth to an inch.

At his limit, he could instantly cross a distance of over ten zhang.

Even with rocks or giant trees in the way, as long as they didn't completely block his line of sight, he could use the Shrink Earth to an Inch minor divinity and appear on the other side.

If he used it with full force, his speed could increase by tenfold or more.

However, as his experiment showed, the consumption was also astonishing.

But compared to its effect, that level of consumption was negligible.

Crossing Space, a divine ability.

It could instantly turn him into a top-tier assassin.

One strike to kill, and escape far beyond.

If he were to use this technique at full power, he would be able to shrink the earth into an inch and flee.

In his eyes, with his current understanding, not to mention a Master, even a Great Master would only sigh in admiration and would never be able to catch up to him.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

Mastering the art of shrinking the earth into an inch.

Although it didn't directly enhance his strength, its indirect impact on his abilities was evident.

With this divine ability, Xiao Qiushui no longer had any advantage in movement techniques in his eyes.

Shrinking the earth into an inch.

It could be used not only on the ground but also in the air.

With this divine ability, even a Divine Human Master who could traverse the skies would lose their ability to fight or retreat before him.

This also resolved one of his worries.

At the same time, it made him realize that breaking through the limits of any cultivation technique should never be underestimated.

Before, he had never thought that breaking through the limits of Gale Thunder Step would grant him mastery over a divine ability, one that would be of immense help to him.

【Yuan Neng】: 443

Afterward, he looked at his panel and saw only a few hundred Yuan Neng points remaining.

He shook his head, feeling it was a pity.

He only had a little over four hundred Yuan Neng points left, not enough to break through the limits of any other cultivation technique.

"But I still have the contribution points from killing the Demonic Cultist, and the gifts from the city's officials and nobles in a few days should give me another big boost in Yuan Neng points!"

With this thought, Jiang Ning looked at the Techniques section of his panel again.

His gaze quickly locked onto three techniques.

【Techniques】: Goldenvolution Invencible (Perfection 1013/10000)



Tirada del Viento y el Rayo (3 Breaks 63/4000) (Characteristics: Wind-Thunder Breath, Heart's Arrow Technique, Wind-Thunder Arrow)



Nourishing Life with Inner Dan (5 Breaks 6000/6000) (Characteristics: Water-Fire Immortal Garment (1st Break), Control Water and Fire, Boil Stones, Water-Fire Harmony)



Currently, these were the only three techniques suitable for him to improve.

Among them, Nourishing Life with Inner Dan required 5,000 Yuan Neng points.

Breaking through the limits of Tirada del Viento y el Rayo required 1,000 Yuan Neng points.

As for Goldenvolution Invencible, the required Yuan Neng points to break through its limits were unknown.

This was the only technique beyond the superior level that he could fully cultivate in a short time.

This was also the aspect he valued the most.

Ordinary martial arts, in his eyes, always belonged to the realm of martial arts.

Martial arts that surpassed the superior level, in his view, could be considered part of the martial path.

Just like Goldenvolution Invencible.

After reaching perfection, it allowed him to crush Thousand-Forged weapons with his bare hands.

Such an external manifestation was far beyond the realm of martial arts.

Similarly, Nourishing Life with Inner Dan also transcended the superior level of martial arts.

Swallowing and exhaling the essence of the sun, strengthening the five organs.

After reaching perfection, one could swallow a golden pill, taking control of their destiny.

Such a state was also beyond the realm of martial arts.

Therefore, in Jiang Ning's heart, the technique he most wanted to break through was undoubtedly Goldenvolution Invencible.

As the saying goes, life brings infinite possibilities.

If Goldenvolution Invencible could successfully break through its limits, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on his survival abilities.

It would put him in a state of innate invincibility.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

Huff—

He exhaled a long breath of turbid air from his stomach.

Instantly, the wind and sand before him stirred, and the scorching breath he exhaled distorted and blurred his vision.

[This time, swallowing and exhaling the essence of the sun, Nourishing Life with Inner Dan Experience increased by 108 points]



A prompt appeared before his eyes, and he then looked at his panel.

【Technique】: Nourishing Life with Inner Dan (Great Accomplishment 3477/10000)



"The progress has exceeded three-tenths!"

A glimmer of brilliance flashed through Jiang Ning's eyes.

Seeing the progress, he couldn't help but feel secretly excited.

Once he perfected Nourishing Life with Inner Dan, he would possess the key to becoming a Celestial Master.

After witnessing Xiao Qiushui's strength, he understood that realm was the foundation.

The breakthrough in his technique gave him a significant advantage.

However, when it came to Xiao Qiushui, a Celestial Master, he lacked that confidence.

It was like the difference between heaven and earth, akin to the distinction between clouds and mud.

No matter how confident he was, he couldn't guarantee a victory.

Not to mention completely defeating Xiao Qiushui.

"If all goes well, it'll probably take another two months!"

Jiang Ning spoke to himself.

He knew that he couldn't rush this crucial step.

Xiao Qiushui's talent was exceptional, but it took her over a decade, sacrificing her family, to finally break through and become a Third Grade Celestial Master.

She was the only Celestial Master in Dongling County in recent years.

This alone demonstrated the immense difficulty.

Yet, in recent years, only Xiao Qiushui had successfully joined their ranks.

And now, Jiang Ning needed just over two months to achieve the same.

This fact alone was enough to shock anyone.

After the missed opportunity at the Heaven Dragon Hall, he knew that for now, his path to becoming a Celestial Master relied solely on perfecting Nourishing Life with Inner Dan.

As for achieving the state of Union with Heaven, he had no clue at all.

This involved a profound understanding of one's state of mind.

It required both enlightenment and the right opportunities.

Jiang Ning couldn't force it either.

As for entering the Third Grade by comprehending Knife Intent, he knew the concept but not the method.

He didn't understand how to reach the state of perfection, and for now, he had no way of learning it.

After that, Jiang Ning closed the panel and headed home.

In the afternoon, he arrived at Bai Luoyu's mansion.

Jiang Ning visited again.

"Brother Jiang!"

Seeing Jiang Ning, Bai Luoyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly got out of bed.

"I'm sorry to disturb your afternoon rest, Brother Bai," Jiang Ning apologized.

"It's fine!" Bai Luoyu, barefoot and wearing a loose-fitting robe, approached Jiang Ning. He waved his hand, indicating it was no trouble.

"Brother Jiang, please sit down and talk," he said, sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion with a low tea table in front of him. He gestured for Jiang Ning to sit opposite him.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

He went to the window, took off his shoes, and sat on the meditation cushion next to the window.

The afternoon breeze blew in through the window, carrying a coolness from the nearby forest.

"When did you return, Brother Jiang?" Bai Luoyu poured tea for Jiang Ning and asked.

"This morning," Jiang Ning replied.

"Your return is quite timely, Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu smiled.

He didn't delve further into this topic.

Previously, Jiang Ning had sent a message through Heaven's Seal, informing Bai Luoyu that he was seeking an opportunity.

Since it was an opportunity, Bai Luoyu understood that it involved personal secrets.

Then, Bai Luoyu pushed the teacup filled with tea towards Jiang Ning.

"Brother Jiang, how about we visit Ye Fu Shi together later?"

"That would trouble you, Brother Bai," Jiang Ning said.

"It's no trouble!" Bai Luoyu smiled and continued, "With you as the Patrol Commissioner, I won't be fighting alone in Dong Ling Cheng!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning said, "I heard that besides you, there's another Patrol Commissioner in Dongling County?"

"Yes," Bai Luoyu nodded.

Then he said, "I'm the public one, and he's the secret one. One public, one secret—this is the normal system. So, I don't know who he is."

At this point, Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning.

"Speaking of which, your appointment as the Patrol Commissioner seems to break this system, which is a bit puzzling. However, I'm sure there's a reason for it."

Unlike Bai Luoyu's confusion, Jiang Ning had some speculations.

The secret of the Holy Temple flashed through his mind.

Worshipping the statue in the Holy Temple was equivalent to ordinary people consuming his blood, thus coming under his control.

But these were merely his speculations.
