#42 - Chapter 42 Xiao Li's Crying
“Void Saint Intent… I’ve condensed Saint Intent. Does this mean I can attempt to reach the Saint Realm?”
Jiang Ning was incredibly excited at this moment.
Currently, his realm could be considered Quasi-Saint.
Comprehending Saint Intent without becoming a Saint is the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Quasi-Saint is a step towards transcending into Sainthood.
Jiang Shang was at this realm back then, but no matter what he did, he couldn't take that final step.
He could only wait for his lifespan to end and pass away in disappointment.
This is the ultimate fate of most Quasi-Saints and Grand修士 in the Celestial Human Realm.
“Senior Taixu, I am grateful for your great kindness. Back then, comprehending your Void Sword Intent allowed me to avoid the pain of ten thousand Gu devouring my heart.”
“Now, obtaining the Void Saint Intent has given this junior the opportunity to become a Saint. I will never forget your immense virtue.”
Jiang Ning respectfully bowed towards the Taixu Sword as a sign of respect for Jiang Taixu.
This Saint Sword of Dao Proving was the love token that woman from the Emotion Severing Hall gave to Jiang Taixu back then.
Therefore, he buried it outside the bamboo house and didn't take his Saint Sword of Dao Proving with him.
This ultimately benefited Jiang Ning.
《Void Saint Codex》was the Saint Codex created by Jiang Taixu after he became a Saint.
Mastering the true meaning of the Void, the extreme of space, its power is boundless, and its methods are heaven-defying.
Compared to the Void Sword Intent, it was many times more profound.
After fully comprehending 《Void Saint Codex》, Jiang Ning realized how monstrous Jiang Taixu was.
Once he grew up, he would definitely be a terrifying freak capable of suppressing a world.
It's a pity that he ruined his life because of a woman.
Void Saint Intent and 《Void Saint Codex》opened a door for Jiang Ning.
He could sense that he was not far from transcending into Sainthood.
The power of a Saint is simply incomparable to that of ordinary mortals.
Only by becoming a Saint could Jiang Ning truly gain a foothold in this different world.
At this moment, the little fox, with its delicate paws carrying a fish basket and another paw carrying a fishing rod, came to Jiang Ning with an incredibly comical appearance.
“Look, I caught a lot of big fish. You have to roast them all for me tonight.”
The little fox said, constantly swallowing its saliva.
Thinking of the deliciousness of roasted fish, it was so greedy that its heart was in a panic.
“You little glutton, I'll let you eat your fill.”
Jiang Ning affectionately touched its head.
Suddenly, the little fox wrinkled its nose slightly and said, “Why do I suddenly feel like you’re different?”
“Is that so? Maybe.” Jiang Ning smiled slightly.
Containing Void Saint Intent within his body gave Jiang Ning a trace of the temperament of transcending into Sainthood, naturally making him look a little different.
Dressed in a white robe, he was like an immortal descending to earth, with unparalleled majesty, bright eyes, and awe-inspiring power.
His otherworldly temperament gave people the illusion that he was about to ascend to immortality.
Where in the world could there be such a person, a peerless young master.
Taking the little fox, Jiang Ning returned to the bamboo house.
“Young Master, you are becoming more and more handsome…”
Looking at the different Jiang Ning, Xiao Li couldn't help but say.
Then, she blushed with embarrassment, extremely shy.
“Xiao Li, are you in love?” The little fox asked innocently.
“A’Li, you’re asking for a beating, daring to make fun of your sister.”
Xiao Li was so ashamed that she lowered her head even further, not daring to look up at Jiang Ning.
One man, one woman, and one fox, lit a bonfire, happily having a picnic, and enjoying the deliciousness of roasted fish.
Jiang Ning was also very satisfied with such a leisurely life.
The next day, Jiang Ning surprisingly did not go to the Stele Forest.
He began to plan to seclude himself and fully attempt to reach the Saint Realm.
Therefore, Jiang Ning also prepared to reveal his secret to Xiao Li: Your young master is a Quasi-Saint!
Anyway, he would soon transcend into Sainthood, and Xiao Li was one of the closest people to him in this world.
It was time to let her know his secret.
“Young Master, why didn't you go to the Stele Forest today?”
Xiao Li asked curiously.
Jiang Ning smiled and didn't explain, but instead said, “Hit me with your full strength.”
Xiao Li was startled. What's wrong with Young Master today?
Is he a fool?
“Young Master, I… I don't dare to attack you.” Xiao Li shook her head repeatedly.
Wouldn't she kill Young Master with one punch?
“It's okay, just punch me. This is my order, you can't refuse, a full-strength punch.”
Jiang Ning said with a smile.
“This…” Xiao Li looked worried, hesitant.
“What's wrong?” Jiang Ning asked.
Xiao Li told the truth, “Young Master, I… I'll kill you with one punch.”
Her voice became smaller and smaller, fearing that she would hurt Jiang Ning's self-esteem.
“It's okay, just come.”
Jiang Ning said nonchalantly.
“Okay, Young Master, here I come.”
Seeing Jiang Ning's firm attitude, Xiao Li could only attack.
However, she didn't use any strength, weakly punching towards Jiang Ning.
As soon as her fist approached Jiang Ning, a terrifying force sent Xiao Li flying.
“This…”
Xiao Li couldn't believe it. Wasn't Young Master unable to cultivate?
She, a dignified Distance Ignoring Realm cultivator, was actually sent flying.
“Use your full strength.” Jiang Ning said.
Xiao Li no longer held back at this time, punching towards Jiang Ning with all her strength.
Bang!
She felt that her punch was like a clay ox entering the sea.
Jiang Ning was completely fine, looking at her with a smile.
“Yo… Young Master, what's going on?”
Xiao Li asked in shock.
“Everyone thinks your young master is a cripple, it's just that the world is foolish.”
“Your young master has already stepped into the Saint Realm with half a foot.”
Jiang Ning said calmly.
Boom!
The Void Saint Intent erupted, instantly turning Xiao Li's face pale.
“Sa… Saint Intent!”
“Young Master, you are already a Quasi-Saint.”
Xiao Li was extremely surprised. How could the person she lived with day and night silently become a Quasi-Saint?
“Quasi-Saint? That's what I am now. But in a few days, your young master will be able to transcend into Sainthood.”
Jiang Ning said confidently.
“Transcend into Sainthood?”
“Yo… Young Master, you are going to become a Saint?”
Xiao Li was completely shocked by this news.
The Jiang Clan had not had a Saint for tens of thousands of years.
In Xiao Li's eyes, a Saint was no less than a god.
Heavens, such a god-like existence was about to be reached by her young master.
Was she dreaming?
Xiao Li had an unreal feeling.
She slapped herself hard.
“It hurts~ Wuwu, it's real.”
“Young Master, the Empress Dowager will definitely be very happy when she finds out.”
“Her son is about to become a Saint.”
Xiao Li shed tears.
Thinking of a mother who went to a place with nine deaths and one life to save her son.
Perhaps, she would never see the Empress Dowager again.
Tears flowed out uncontrollably.
The sad Xiao Li couldn't help but throw herself into Jiang Ning's arms and cry loudly.
She was raised by the Empress Dowager and had deep feelings for her. At this moment, she missed Li Muqing very much.
“Don't cry, I have already ordered people to inquire about the Empress Dowager's whereabouts.”
Jiang Ning gently stroked Xiao Li's back and comforted her softly.
After a long time, Xiao Li's emotions recovered.
“Xiao Li, you and A’Li will protect me, I want to fully attempt to reach the Saint Realm.”
Jiang Ning instructed.
“Young Master, don't worry, anyone who dares to disturb you will have to step over my corpse.”
The little girl had a look of determination on her face.
The little fox also raised its head and puffed out its chest.
After that, Jiang Ning entered seclusion and began to attempt to reach the Saint Realm.
