Su Jingxing had finally gotten rid of the original Su Jingxing’s obsessions, and he didn’t want to experience that again.
Liu Chenglong was a first-grade expert when he was alive.
How the obsessions of the original Su Jingxing compare to his?
If this was how it had to be, regardless of how powerful such a third-grade martial artist was, Su Jingxing didn’t want to be one.
So
“Heaven Trampling Elephant! Suppress!”
roared Su Jingxing. He began to visualize the Heaven Trampling Elephant in his mind.
Pooo!
‘As soon as the majestic and wild Heaven Trampling Elephant appeared in his sea of consciousness, it threw its head back and roared.
The resonant cry of an elephant shook the space within his consciousness, causing it to shake violently.
The will that was drilling into the depths of his consciousness was immediately crushed.
Roar!
The black horned dragon seemed to sense a threat. With a snarl, it pounced at the Heaven Trampling Elephant.
Pooo!
The Heaven Trampling Elephant soared into the air, its trunk sweeping out with terrifying might.
Pa!
The Sishui Horned Dragon was sent flying.
Boom!
Before the Sishui Horned Dragons could react, the “Heaven Trampling Elephant took a step forward in the air and dashed forward. Its massive feet stepped on the Sishui Horned Dragons, preventing it from escaping.
Roar!
The Sishui Horned Dragons roared angrily. It twisted its body and wrapped itself around the front limb of the Heaven Trampling Elephant.
Then, it unleashed a terrifying wave of will power that washed towards the body of the Heaven Trampling Elephant.
Pooo!
Not to be outdone, the Heaven Trampling Elephant unleashed a shockwave as a counter.
The dragon and the elephant unleashed their will and soul powers to clash with one another. Neither of them could do anything to the other, and the stalemate continued.
Su Jingxing who was controlling the Heaven Trampling Elephant took the opportunity to exhale.
Even though maintaining the suppression by the Heaven Trampling Elephant was very taxing, at least he wouldn’t have to passively fuse with the Sishui Horned Dragon.
As for the energy expenditure, he could replenish it with Essence Energy Pills.
Su Jingxing didn’t have much, but he had plenty of Essence Energy Pills and Strength Pills.
“Still not strong enough.”
“If my soul power can be boosted once more, I’ll be able to completely suppress the Sishui Horned Dragon with the Heaven Trampling Elephant!”
Now, they were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other.
However, if his soul power continued to increase, and the Heaven Trampling Elephant also became stronger, he could totally suppress the Sishui Horned Dragons and take control of this Martial Art True Intent from Liu Chenglong for his own use.
For now, the only thing he could do was stall for time.
‘When he first saw the Demonic Heaven Trampling Elephant Diagram, it was recorded that a Demonic Heaven Trampling Elephant Diagram that was visualized could suppress everything, including Martial Art True Intent.
Su Jingxing doubted that.
After this encounter, Su Jingxing believed it.
The Heaven Trampling Elephant could really suppress Martial Art True Intent!
Had it not been for the fact that the Sishui Horned Dragons had been tempered and strengthened by Liu Chenglong for an unknown period of time when he was alive,
had it been an ordinary third-grade martial artist’s Martial Art True Intent the Heaven Trampling Elephant could directly crushed it.
“I still have to increase my soul power!”
murmured Su Jingxing. He produced two Essence Energy Pills and popped them into his mouth.
Even though it was said to increase one’s soul power, it was most troublesome to increase one’s soul power.
For the time being, Su Jingxing wouldn’t be able to realize it.
The Soul Acuity Fruit Tree had to wait until it bloomed, bore fruit, and ripened again.
‘As for Requiem Cards that gave Spirit Accumulation Pills, their chances of extracting them were pathetically low.
In the past few months, Su Jingxing hadn’t been able to extract any more.
After much thought, he decided that he would have to use Essence Energy Pills to maintain the stalemate.
He popped two more Essence Energy Pills into his mouth.
Steadying himself, Su Jingxing took out the other light orb that exuded a strong aura of worldly energy.
After careful sensing, he confirmed that this light orb was purely formed using worldly energy.
Circulating the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven, Su Jingxing wrapped his true energy around the light orb and began absorbing it into his dantian, converting it into Heaven Trampling True Energy.
Strictly speaking, such a pure light orb could also be considered a heavenly treasure. It was rare.
Liu Chenglong had set up an energy-gathering array formation in the mausoleum to preserve his physical body and Martial Art True Intent. In the end, after more than 400 years, an energy orb was also produced.
Had it been any other martial artist, this energy orb would most likely have been used elsewhere.
Su Jingxing was different; he absorbed it directly.
The domineering nature of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven allowed a physical body at the limits of the human body to be unafraid of the stimulation and expansion of one’s body when absorbing energy.
Of course, he had to expend half of his attention while doing so to maintain the suppression of the Heaven Trampling Elephant
Before he completely suppressed the Sishui Horned Dragon, Su Jingxing had to multi-task.
The efficiency of absorption with only half of his attention was naturally greatly reduced.
He spent a total of three full days without sleep, food, or water. He used up more than 40 Essence Energy Pills before he finished absorbing the energy orb.
At that moment, half of the Heaven Trampling True Energy in Su Jingxing’s dantian had already turned into liquid.
True energy turns into liquid ——a fourth-grade martial artist!
‘With the help of the pure energy orb, Su Jingxing finally reached the fourth-grade.
And just as how he reached the fifth-grade, it was an automatic breakthrough.
As for his true energy cultivation
Half of Su Jingxing’s attention was focused on his dantian. He carefully sensed this Heaven Trampling True Energy which was in a semi-liquid and semi-mist state. Moments later, he came up with a rough number.
820 years!
In any case, his cultivation had exceeded 800 years!
“More than 800 years of cultivation…”
The comers of Su Jingxing’s lips tugged up.
Putting aside the Martial Art True Intent of the Sishui Horned Dragons for now,
he had finally reaped some benefits from this trip to the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.
His cultivation had increased by more than 300 years all of a sudden, and he had successfully advanced to the fourth-grade.
At the fourth-grade, true energy turned into liquid and could be used to nourish the spirit!
In other words.
Using the half of his true fluid, Su Jingxing could nourish his spirit and strengthen his soul.
Without consuming Spirit Accumulation Pills or the Concentration Fruit, he could increase his soul power on his own!
This was an unexpected surprise.
Circulating the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven, Su Jingxing tried to use the True Fluid to nourish his spirit.
Moments later, he discovered that his soul power had increased slightly.
He did some calculations and concluded that, without the aid of external items, the Heaven Trampling Elephant could completely suppress the Sishui Horned Dragon within one and a half months at least and half a year at most!
“Hu
Having confirmed this, Su Jingxing let out a breath, his face lighting up with joy.
It wasn’t easy to multi-task.
It would naturally be good thing if he could get rid of the problem of the Sishui Horned Dragon as soon as possible.
Once completely suppressed, Su Jingxing would be able to control the Martial Art True Intent of the Sishui Horned Dragon.
In the realm of the fourth-grade with capabilities of a third-grade martial artist!
The next time he used the alias Jiang Ziya, he wouldn’t have to worry about being exposed anymore.
“Half a month to go…”
Su Jingxing slowed his breathing and clenched his fists.
After a while, he regained his composure.
After three days and nights of not moving, he immediately got up and went to the kitchen to get some food to fill his stomach.
Then, he went to the bathroom to wash up and change into a fresh set of clothes.
Su Jingxing opened the door and windows. Sitting in the courtyard, he took out the card he had extracted from the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.
The card came from the “100-year Great Return Remains”.
It most likely referred to Liu Chenglong’s corpse.
What card could be extracted from the corpse of a first-grade expert?
Excited, Su Jingxing held the card and read its description.
The next instance, his pupils dilated.
His lips curled up uncontrollably, unable to conceal the joy on his face!
