After achieving Great Success, the true intent of the blazing sun will only grow stronger, and his prowess can correspondingly rise to a higher level.
...
On the other side.
Wanhua Building.
"Father!"
Seeing the elegant middle-aged man appear, Xia Wanqin immediately greeted him respectfully.
As one of the several children of the Xia family head, though she was the youngest, she was not the most favored.
Because she knew that although her mother was her fatherâs rightful wife, she was not the one with the best relationship.
So she dared not overstep in front of her father.
"Wanwan, are your reports exaggerated?" The middle-aged man went straight to the point.
"Not a single exaggeration!" Xia Wanqin replied.
Then she brought over a cup of tea from the table: "Father, sit down and have a cup of tea first."
The middle-aged man nodded and then took the cold tea handed over by Xia Wanqin, sipping it slowly.
"Father, this is about the past records of Lord Jiang!" Xia Wanqin took out records about Jiang Ning from her wide sleeves and handed them to the middle-aged man.
Seeing this.
The middle-aged man put down the tea in his hand, took the information Xia Wanqin offered, and quickly scanned through it.
Xia Wanqin, standing quietly with her hands crossed in front of her abdomen, waited silently without a word.
Several breaths later.
The middle-aged manâs pupils constricted before he continued reading.
After a while.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Xia Wanqin.
"Daughter, is this Jiang Ning as peerless as you say?"
"Only strong, not weak!" Xia Wanqin replied.
"Your evaluation makes me see him in a different light. Iâve never seen you admire any man so highly. Even the descendants of those Primordial Spirit strong persons donât catch your eye, yet, you regard an ordinary man from the secular world so highly."
"Father, he has the potential to become the second Martial Saint after that Martial Saint!" Xia Wanqin said.
Upon hearing this.
The middle-aged man nodded.
"If the records you supplied are correct, he does indeed have such a possibility!"
"At this age, entering the realm of Invincible Grandmaster is too astonishing!"
"Even ordinary Yang God strong persons may not be his match."
"However, in the past eight hundred years, there have been quite a few like him with the opportunity to achieve Martial Saint status! There are several such figures in the current era! Yet over the span of eight hundred years, no second Martial Saint has emerged! One could only think of that figure as extraordinary."
Upon hearing these words from her father, Xia Wanqin immediately spoke.
"Father doesnât think highly of him?"
"Not quite not thinking highly!" The middle-aged man folded the records about Jiang Ning and shook his head: "Itâs just that the difficulty is extremely high! Nearly a thousand years have passed without anyone accomplishing this, and he is unlikely to be an exception! Yet, if true as you said, he is indeed one of the most promising!"
Then, the middle-aged man added: "But I still need to see him in person!"
"Father, Iâll take you there!" Xia Wanqin said.
"Hmm!" The middle-aged man nodded and then stood up.
He then glanced at Xia Wanqin: "You intend to marry him?"
"Father, yes!" Xia Wanqin candidly replied: "Father, I think he is the ideal match for your daughter!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and said no more.
"Letâs go, accompany me to see him! To marry you, whether he has the qualification, I must see with my own eyes."
...
On the other side.
Jiang Ning took a satisfying bath, changed into clean clothes, and immediately felt comfortable all over.
"First, Iâll visit Lord Ye, and then I can head home directly! This trip can be considered Perfection!"
He made plans in his mind.
At that moment.
He inadvertently glanced towards the direction outside the small courtyard.
At this moment, he felt the air like water, and a large-bodied creature suddenly entered the surrounding water, causing the rippling of water waves.
"An apex strong person!!"
His gaze slightly stiffened, a thought flashed through his mind.
The next moment.
He sensed that apex strong person was heading directly towards his small courtyard.
"Theyâre coming for me!" He instantly understood.
Then, he adjusted his emotions slightly and moved towards the courtyard door.
Opening the courtyard door.
He saw a man and a woman walking towards his location.
The manâs face looked to be slightly over forty, dressed in a light yellow robe, with an elegant and easygoing demeanor, carrying a scholarly aura.
As for the woman, he was very familiar with her; she was Xia Wanqin, whom he had met just that morning.
At that moment.
The middle-aged man flashed his body instantly, crossing several meters to appear right in front of Jiang Ning.
Seeing this.
Jiang Ningâs pupils suddenly contracted.
Shrinking Ground to Inches!!
He immediately felt somewhat shocked.
The skills of this middle-aged man before him were strikingly similar to when he himself performed Shrinking Ground to Inches, incredibly natural and expressive, as if it took no effort.
At the same time.
The middle-aged man noticed the changes in Jiang Ningâs eyes and was internally satisfied, nodding his head.
He felt his demonstration of the Shrinking Ground into Inches Divine Power achieved its effect, already intimidating this world-beating genius with the potential to become the second Martial Saint.
Just after scanning the information on Jiang Ning that Xia Wanqin provided, he felt Jiang Ning was worthy of his attention.
Because he understood his daughterâs temperament, not just anyone could catch her eye.
Moreover, to see her using herself as a bargaining chip, intending to marry Jiang Ning and bind him to the Xia familyâs ship of Xuanhuang Great Cave Heaven.
This not only showcased his daughterâs sense of responsibility as a child of the Xia family but also sought a husband.
He trusted his daughterâs choice and judgment because he knew his daughter was intelligent, perfectly inheriting her motherâs wisdom.
"I am Xia Xuanyan!" The middle-aged man introduced himself.
At this moment, Xia Wanqin also arrived at Xia Xuanyanâs side.
"This is my father, the current Master Xia!"
"Master Xia!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands, gazing at Xia Xuanyan.
As Xia Xuanyan approached, he felt a slight change in the surrounding space-time; space fluctuated, making him feel as though he had entered another realm.
In an instant.
His mind recalled what Granny Bai said to Qingyuan Taoist.
A Primordial Spirit is a self-contained small world, placing it in Ancient Era, one wouldnât know how many years itâd take to become immortal.
"Could he be a presence comparable to Qingyuan Taoist!"
Thoughts instantly flashed through his mind.
Considering Xia Xuanyanâs identity, he felt his judgment was likely accurate.
The Xia family head from Xuanhuang Great Cave Heaven, Xia Wanqinâs father, was highly likely to be a Primordial Spirit strong person.
A Primordial Spirit strong person with a self-contained small world.
This coincidentally matched Granny Baiâs previous words.
Various thoughts flashed in his mind.
He heard Xia Wanqinâs voice again in his ears.
Xia Wanqin moved lightly, coming to Jiang Ningâs side.
"Father, this is the Dongling County Patrol Envoy, Jiang Ning!"
"Jiang Ning, Iâve heard my daughter mention you!" Xia Xuanyan looked at Jiang Ning, then glanced at his daughter, and slightly nodded.
"To be in the ears of Master Xia, this Primordial Spirit strong person, is indeed my honor." Jiang Ning smiled.
"Oh?" Xia Xuanyanâs eyes slightly flickered and then said: "I didnât expect you to have such insight, able to recognize I have condensed a Primordial Spirit at a glance."
Jiang Ning replied: "A few days ago, I heard about Primordial Spirit strong persons from a senior. They are strong persons with a self-contained small world, immortal since the Ancient Era!"
With these words.
Jiang Ning stepped aside, making way in the middle of the courtyard.
"Master Xia, please come in!"
"Alright!" Xia Xuanyan looked at Jiang Ning, slightly nodded in satisfaction.
Then he raised his leg over the threshold of the small courtyard.
Xia Wanqin followed closely, came to Jiang Ningâs side, and poked Jiang Ningâs arm with her delicate jade fingers. Her mouth slightly opened and mouthed the words.
"Perform well!!"
Seeing Xia Wanqinâs mouth gestures, Jiang Ning smiled helplessly in his heart and closed the courtyard door.
Afterwards.
In the bamboo pavilion entwined with green, Jiang Ning took out his good wine mixed with Emperorâs Liquid.
This was his first close interaction with a Primordial Spirit strong person, a self-contained small world Primordial Spirit strong person, naturally he dared not neglect.
Moreover, Xia Xuanyanâs visit clearly came with goodwill.
Such a peerless strong person with goodwill, he naturally would not be inattentive.
He also wanted to gather more information from Xia Xuanyanâs words.
Such a person with significant background, high status, and strong power, what he knows must be much more than what Jiang Ning knows.
