In the past few days, he has been quietly waiting for his primordial spirit to emerge, while practicing the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.
However, because the Taixu Yin Yang Sword is too profound and esoteric, it forces one to enter the Dao through the sword, where the Dao involves Yin and Yang and space, causing his progress to be slow.
In three days, he merely gained 5,000 points of experience value.
At this rate, it will still take two months to reach the first limit break of this cultivation technique.
"If the primordial spirit emerges, my comprehension will greatly increase, my thought process will accelerate, and efficiency might be higher!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.
Then, he frowned slightly and looked towards the street outside the mansion.
Even though he is currently in the east courtyard, he can hear the unusual commotion coming from the street outside.
This kind of clamor has been going on intermittently since early this morning.
With a frown, he moved his lips slightly.
Just a moment later.
Lv Yi appeared in his courtyard.
"Greetings, Marquis!" As she entered the courtyard, Lv Yi respectfully saluted Jiang Ning.
"Outside, has something happened?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Marquis, I am yet unaware. Should I go out and gather information?" Lv Yi responded.
Jiang Ning nodded.
After Lv Yi left, he grasped an ordinary long sword again and continued practicing the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.
As the sword light swept, the sword light swirled like a tide, countless sword lights spread like waves.
The surrounding darkness and brightness began to intertwine.
The courtyard sometimes shone like daylight, sometimes was as dark as ink.
The void began to twist before him, refracting a series of figures and sword shadows.
In just an instant, endless killing intent filled every corner of the courtyard.
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword experience value +23]
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword experience value +22]
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword experience value +25]
[...]
Upon seeing the prompts floating before him, his heart remained unfazed.
Though the efficiency isn’t high, it has moved beyond the lowest experience value acquisition efficiency.
Compared to before, there has undoubtedly been some progress.
A moment later.
Lv Yi hurriedly returned to the east courtyard.
Jiang Ning stood holding his sword.
"Marquis, I have found out that the commotion in the royal capital today is because the ten-yearly Demon Country delegation has arrived outside the city. They are passing through the streets, heading to Honglu Temple to stay. It’s heard that the scale of the Demon Country delegation is large this time, with many demon clan envoys bringing along many rare beasts and tribute gifts, attracting the crowd to watch and hence causing the continuous clamor."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning’s eyebrow arched slightly: "Demon Country delegation?"
Instantly, Bai Li’s figure appeared in his mind.
In the Shangyang Immortal Sect’s scenery, Bai Li spoke of her origin from Qingqiu, from the Demon Country.
South of the Great Xia lies a Demon Country.
But he knows little about this Demon Country.
"It should not be part of my realm, for beyond this heaven and earth, there are still nine domains. Beyond the sky, so-called Demon Country, perhaps exists in other realms!"
He thought to himself.
But it piqued a bit of his interest.
Though he has two demon clan members in his family, he rarely sees them.
At this moment, he instinctively gazed towards the heart of the lake in his courtyard.
In the lake water, a rainbow light was swimming, it was Linglong.
Ever since the family moved to Marquis Mansion, Linglong and Old Turtle rightfully stayed in his courtyard too.
Their past duties were no longer needed.
With him around, and Su Qingying next door, family safety no longer relied on Linglong and Old Turtle for protection.
And facing genuine threats, Linglong and Old Turtle’s strength was already falling behind.
His gaze swept over Linglong in the lake and the Old Turtle by the lake, then he laid down the long sword in his hand, and turned to walk outside the courtyard: "I’ll go out and see."
Lv Yi hastily followed.
...
Exiting his mansion, the once quiet street now had much more foot traffic, all running towards one direction.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning followed the flow of people.
Arriving at the Vermilion Bird Avenue, the main street of the royal capital, it was already a sea of people, full of clamor.
The windows of tall buildings on both sides were fully open, crammed with curious onlookers and aristocrats’ family members.
In the middle of the avenue, a grand procession was slowly marching.
Leading the procession were dozens of Forbidden Army soldiers in Xuan Armor with murderous aura, followed by the Demon Country delegation.
Members of the delegation varied in appearance but retained some demon clan features.
Some had pointed ears with fluff, some had uniquely colored irises, and some had furry long tails.
Their attire was bold, exuding exotic charm.
In the middle of the procession, several beasts of exceptional size, resembling giant lions but with dragon horns, scaled in azure, firmly stepped forward, causing the ground to tremble slightly, exciting low murmurs from the watching crowd.
In the carriage, a woman with a silver veil covering her face.
The woman reclined inside, wearing a silver long dress.
The dress spread out like a flowing galaxy.
Her silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, a few strands fluttering gently at the edge of the veil in the wind.
Though her face was half-covered, her revealed ice-blue eyes were as clear as a cold pond, with a natural cold yet alluring charm in their slightly upward slant.
Behind the hem of her dress, some silver fur peeking out.
"Marquis, the lady in the carriage, is said to be the princess of the Demon Country royal family. Today’s excitement in the royal capital is also because of everyone’s curiosity."
Jiang Ning looked at the woman in the carriage and nodded.
Even though the woman in the carriage had her face concealed by a silver veil, she inexplicably brought a familiar sensation to him.
At that moment.
The woman in the carriage seemed to sense something, her ice-blue eyes turned slightly, precisely looking in Jiang Ning’s direction.
In the instant their gazes met across the distance.
A faint trace of astonishment flashed in the silver-haired woman’s eyes in the carriage, then she returned to calm.
The carriage didn’t stop and continued to move slowly towards Honglu Temple with the procession.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning’s gaze already fell upon a middle-aged sinister-looking man beside the carriage.
The sinister-looking man wore a black long robe, his face resembling an auk, extremely emaciated.
Yet he gave him an indistinct sense of oppression.
He didn’t believe this feeling was just a misconception.
At this level of cultivation, any sensation wouldn’t occur for no reason.
"This demon’s strength must be extremely powerful!" he thought to himself.
Coincidentally, the sinister-looking man in the black robe glanced over at Jiang Ning, his gaze touching Jiang Ning.
Eyes like lightning, as if golden light burst in the night.
Jiang Ning’s gaze slightly tightened, noticing the fleeting golden gleam in the sinister man’s eyes.
At this time, the sinister-looking man in the black robe also paused his gaze on Jiang Ning for a moment, giving Jiang Ning another look.
Then, as the carriage slowly moved forward, the man withdrew his gaze.
Jiang Ning stood still, watched the convoy leave, lost in thought.
At this moment, the sudden arrival of the Demon Country delegation prompted many thoughts in his mind.
The Martial Saint hasn’t emerged for years, recently acting only twice though merely to threaten the world, his true form not shown.
The Changning Emperor’s life or death remains unknown, with the Great Xia Court now governed by Prince Pingjian Ji Xuan.
The whole Great Xia gives him a feeling of an impending storm.
...
On the other side.
"Princess! Since entering the city, I’ve encountered the first strong one!" The sinister-looking man in black robes slightly moved his lips, his voice reaching the silver-haired woman in the carriage.
Hearing this, the silver-haired woman’s ice-blue eyes turned towards the right side of the carriage, towards the middle-aged sinister-looking man in the black robe, her eyes slightly filled with surprise.
She knew the strength of this elder was a Demon King with a three-headed Golden Crow as his true form, extremely fierce, though his bloodline wasn’t pure, he still had the blood of the great fierce Golden Crow.
The Demon King’s strength with such bloodline is above the regular Demon Kings.
During this royal capital trip, she specially awakened this one to accompany her in seeking the truth.
The condition of that Martial Saint nowadays isn’t only a concern of the Great Xia forces, but equally crucial to the Demon Country.
Years ago, that Martial Saint also visited the Demon Country.
They truly witnessed the terror of the Martial Saint.
"With Uncle Hei’s strength, within the Thirty-Six Prefectures of the Nine States of Great Xia, not many would be called strong by Uncle Hei! How could such a powerhouse suddenly emerge?" The silver-haired woman transmitted her voice to the sinister-looking middle-aged man by the carriage.
"There are always stronger people beyond, no surprise! Back then, no one thought, from this heaven and earth, the human clan could produce this mighty existence!" The sinister-looking man with an au...
