If the blood exchange is incomplete, the foundation will be damaged.
In severe cases, one might pass away on the spot, leaving all past efforts in vain.
And the consumption during the entire process increases with each exchange.
Once past three blood exchanges, ninety percent of the Grandmasters in the world cannot withstand such depletion.
It can be said that choosing this step is crucial.
If the target is set low, completing three blood exchanges would make one mediocre among Grandmasters.
Because the upper limit of the world’s Grandmasters is at least three blood exchanges.
Even an ordinary Human Dao Grandmaster considers three blood exchanges as perfection.
The same goes for an Earth Carrying Master.
However, there is no lack of change in between.
A Human Dao Grandmaster, upon completing one blood exchange,
can still reach the Heavenly Human Grandmaster realm after comprehending Unity of Heaven and Man; further completing Water and Fire Profound Transformation would also result in becoming a Blood Exchange Master with three exchanges.
For any Grandmaster, achieving three blood exchanges isn’t difficult.
For the exceptional, even four blood exchanges are manageable.
But if the target is set too high and the ambition too deep and cannot be achieved in one’s lifetime, one will remain at Third Grade indefinitely, with no hope of becoming a Second Grade Grandmaster.
In fact, not few martial artists fit this description.
Among them, most aren’t mediocre Grandmasters but are talented young prodigies with hopes of reaching First Grade.
However, precisely because of their exceptional talent, high aspirations, and difficult choices, they remain at the Third Grade forever.
He himself is about to face this step and has been contemplating it for a long time.
This concerns his future achievement limits.
Undoubtedly, the more times blood is exchanged, the stronger the foundation, and the further one can advance in martial arts.
This step is also related to achieving Second Grade.
Third Grade focuses on blood exchange, Second Grade focuses on Divine Intent.
"Spirit" nurtures the mind, and "intent" represents the true meaning of martial arts.
Various thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning’s mind, and he silently shook his head.
Second Grade is still too far for him now; what he truly needs to consider is the Third Grade.
Regarding Third Grade blood exchange, he must consider what method he will pursue.
He does not consider the four seasons.
The four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, winter, imply four blood exchanges; only then can perfection be achieved.
The Five Elements, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, signify five blood exchanges; only then can perfection be achieved.
He understood the mysteries involved long ago.
But his ambitions are far greater than that.
Four times, five times, in his view, are still too few.
The strength of his physical foundation has already surpassed worldly understanding.
Especially after the Vajra Immortal Body broke its limits, bringing significant changes to him.
Even though he is a Third Grade now, he is confident he could easily crush an ordinary Grandmaster with just his fists.
Not to mention his current physical body, which is not his limit.
With the Vajra Immortal Body breaking its limits, his physical body will only grow stronger.
Therefore, his goal is set very high.
According to what he knows.
The Eight Trigrams Transformation.
Divided into Heaven and Earth, Wind and Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Marsh.
Eight blood exchanges in total, achieving perfection at Third Grade with eight exchanges.
This requires terrifying physical strength to support such a level of blood exchange.
In his view, this is entirely feasible. Thɪs chapter is updated by noveⅼfire.net
Eight blood exchanges, though rare,
have appeared numerous times in the over eight hundred years of Great Xia’s history.
After all, if the Eight Trigrams Transformation is recorded in history books, it means someone has accomplished it.
Those people managed it, and he is confident he can do the same.
However, compared to the Eight Trigrams Transformation of eight blood exchanges, he is more eager to try nine blood exchanges.
Nirvana Nine Transformations.
Star Quenching Nine Refinements.
Mortal Blood Nine Transmutations.
Thunder Tribulation Nine Transformations.
Those are methods to complete nine blood exchanges.
Throughout history, there have been those who achieved it.
Based on his recent investigations,
the Martial Saint accomplished nine blood exchanges.
Nine is the extreme number.
Also the upper limit recorded through history for blood exchanges.
Undoubtedly, to step into the realm of the Martial Saint,
one must complete nine blood exchanges to qualify for even a glimpse.
This is the goal he truly wishes to attain.
But to this day, even in his position as Dongling County Patrol Envoy,
he hasn’t been able to acquire any method of nine blood exchanges.
There have only been mentions and introductions.
After contemplating for a while,
he shook his head silently.
"Let’s not think about this for now!"
"Only when the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill reaches perfection can I step into Third Grade."
"If I am to become a Third Grade Grandmaster, I will become the strongest Grandmaster!!"
Jiang Ning clenched his fist, firming his resolve.
he exhaled a breath of impure energy from his abdomen.
Assuming the Five Hearts Facing Heaven stance,
at this moment, it was noon.
he breathed towards the great sun overhead.
A wisp of fiery red radiance fell from the sky, directly entering his abdomen.
[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]
[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]
[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]
As he breathed and released the Essence of the Great Sun, the experience value of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill steadily increased.
he exhaled a long breath of impure energy.
The air in front of him instantly distorted, and the vegetation turned yellow.
[This breathing and releasing of the Essence of the Great Sun, Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +108]
[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Great Success 5575/10000)
He glanced at the panel and then closed it.
Subsequently, he leaped down from the rooftop and entered the carriage.
"The Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill has reached great success?" Wang Jin asked.
"It has!" Jiang Ning nodded.
"Hiss!" Wang Jin drew in a sharp breath.
He had watched Jiang Ning’s entire journey of growth step by step.
When he first joined the martial arts school, he was just an ordinary disciple, at most with a slightly superior memory.
At that time, Wang Jin didn’t think much of him either.
It was later that he realized Jiang Ning’s progress was astonishing, which greatly piqued his interest, leading him to cultivate Jiang Ning attentively.
Upon discovering that Jiang Ning had a good nature, Wang Jin even considered grooming him as a closed-door disciple to inherit his teachings and take care of him in his old age.
