Hearing Zhongxuan’s words, Yan Zhengying, the eunuch from the Great Ling
Imperial Palace, produced a faint smile on his cold face.
He nodded to Zhongxuan, indicating his readiness to assist.
“Rest assured, Daoist Zhongxuan. This person dared to blatantly kill members of your sect, which is not only a challenge to your sect but also to our Great Ling Imperial Palace.
I will help you reconstruct the scene to identify the killer.”
Yan Zhengying then took out a white Ruyi, a sacred artifact, and placed it at the
crime scene.
As he channeled his Dharmic power into it, the Ruyi emitted a milky light, and
a vague image began to emerge.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
However, at that moment, an immense force seemed to strike the Ruyi, causing its light to flicker and tremble.
Then, Yan Zhengying, Zhongxuan, and Wuchen saw something shocking.
Cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the white Ruyi.
Crack
There was an ear-piercing sound.
The entire white ruyi shattered into a pile of powder in front of Yan Zhengying.
“My Flowing Light Spiritual Jade!”
Yan Zhengying cried out in pain, as the Ruyi was a precious treasure from the Emperor of the Great Ling Imperial Palace.
It was able to reveal what had happened in the past.
But now, such a treasure had shattered just like that.
It simply made Yan Zhengying’s heart ache so much that he could not breathe. Zhongxuan and Wuchen from Heaven’s Gate Sect were equally stunned by the sudden destruction of the Ruyi.
They wondered who could have the power to cause such severe backlash to Yan
Zhengying’s treasure.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, unaware of these developments, continued their journey.
After about half a month, they finally arrived at the State of Duo Deity in the
Southern Wilderness.
It had to be said that the current Southern Wilderness had indeed fallen into an extremely low and desolate state.
Along the way, almost all the cultivators they saw were the same as the ones they first saw.
They were listless and numb.
Other than mining and refining artifacts every day, there was nothing else they were allowed to do.
In fact, even cultivation had become a very extravagant thing.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan found it hard to imagine that the Great Ling
Imperial Palace and the other Soul Formation forces would do such a thing to their fellow cultivators.
How was this different from those demonic cultivators who did not treat people as humans?
Moreover, these things were just a microcosm of it.
There was no telling how many more ugly things were taking place in the dark.
Fortunately, they had already arrived at the State of Duo Deity.
The atmosphere and environment here were significantly better than other areas they had passed through.
Including the concentration of spiritual qi in the world, it was stronger than other places.
Soon, the couple settled down in an immortal city called Twin Snow City.
This immortal city was also one of the largest immortal cities in the entire
State of Duo Deity.
It also had the support of a Nascent Soul sect like the Ice Jade Palace.
It was said that the first supreme elder of the Ice Jade Palace, Perfected Lord Ice Sea, had reached the late-stage Nascent Soul.
It was one of the few large sects that followed Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan came to Twin Snow City seeking a stable environment to break through to the ninth level Nascent Soul.
At the same time, they also wanted to find out if there was a chance to find the level 5 Armored Wood Vine in the Southern Wilderness.
Like the Wood Earth Ganoderma that Jiang Chengxuan had obtained previously, it was one of the most important materials to refine the Eastern Green Dragon Flag.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
On this day.
Within a cave Abode in Twin Snow City, Jiang Chengxuan was surrounded by mist produced by the Spiritual Spring Marrow.
As he circulated his technique, the Spiritual Spring Marrow seemed to be pulled by some force and rapidly surged into his body.
Once all the Spiritual Spring Marrow was absorbed, Jiang Chengxuan heard a cracking sound in his ears.
A surge of Dharmic power, much stronger than before, burst forth from his body, significantly increasing his aura.
At the same time.
On his body, black and white air currents rotated.
It actually made his body suddenly grow taller.
30 feet, 50 feet, 70 feet, 80 feet…
After reaching 80 feet, it slowly stopped.
He clenched his fists lightly.
Jiang Chengxuan immediately felt that his physical strength was also several times stronger than before.
Especially his defense.
At this moment, even ordinary level 5 True Treasures would find it very difficult to cause any substantial damage to his body.
This seclusion actually allowed his cultivation and body to break through.
They both reached the peak of Nascent Soul.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan finally had some confidence.
Previously, if he did not use the Tenfold Pill, he could only survive against a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord.
But now, he felt that he had the ability to fight a Soul Formation Heavenly
Lord.
With the addition of the Tenfold Pill, it was very likely that he would be able to defeat one.
Although Jiang Chengxuan was not a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord yet, he already had the ability to challenge a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord.
When he came out of his cave abode, Jiang Chengxuan saw that Shen Ruyan had not come out of seclusion. He was not in a hurry and waited outside.
About half a year later.
Jiang Chengxuan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly looked in Shen Ruyan’s direction.
The door of the seclusion room slowly opened.
Shen Ruyan, who was wearing a light green dress, walked out.
Jiang Chengxuan immediately sensed a profound and immeasurable aura emanating from her, significantly more robust than before.
He couldn’t help but smile and greeted her, “Congratulations, wife.”
“Thank you.”
Shen Ruyan replied with a smile, “Congratulations to you as well.” As they sat together, they began to share their insights from the years of seclusion.
Jiang Chengxuan learned that not only had Shen Ruyan successfully broken through to the ninth level of Nascent Soul, but she had also touched upon the threshold of Soul Formation.
This meant that if she had the right spiritual material, she could potentially advance to Soul Formation.
This was something Jiang Chengxuan did not expect.
Although his own cultivation and physical strength had reached the peak of Nascent Soul, he had no confidence in advancing to Soul Formation at all.
The main reason was the cultivation technique he was currently cultivating.
Five Elements True Technique.
He currently did not have the content of the Soul Formation section of the Five Elements True Technique.
Although in the past, he had been trying his best to find information about the Soul Formation section of the Five Elements True Technique,
However, after so many years, he did not find anything.
It was as if Soul Formation section of this cultivation technique was non-existent.
Now he was considering that if he still couldn’t find it, he could only deduce the content of the Soul Formation section of the Five Elements True Technique himself.
Fortunately, he still had a deduction bead in his hand that was enough to support his deduction of the Soul Formation section.
When the couple was almost done talking and were about to go out for a walk, the restriction of the cave abode they were in was suddenly triggered.
Then, a voice transmission was transmitted through the restriction of the cave abode.
“I’m Wu Bingyun from the Ice Jade Palace. May I ask if Fellow Daoist Jiang Chuan and Fellow Daoist Shen Yan are here?”
If possible, I want to visit the two of you.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were stunned when they heard the voice transmission.
wasn’t Wu Bingyun of the Ice Jade Palace the current first elder of the Ice Jade Palace, Perfected Lord Ice Sea, who was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?
Why was she here?
The two of them looked at each other and quickly understood.
True.
It was impossible for them to hide from a big sect like the Ice Jade Palace.
Especially when the two of them were cultivating in their territory.
It was even more impossible to hide from their divine senses.
However, the first supreme elder of the Ice Jade Palace was also quite polite.
Although she had triggered the restrictions on their cave abode, it would not affect them.
Including that voice transmission, it was also sent in as a message.
Which meant…
If the two of them were still in seclusion, the actions of the Ice Jade Palace s first supreme elder would not affect their seclusion.
At that thought, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan decided to go out and meet Perfected Lord Ice Sea.
Firstly, it was out of courtesy. Secondly, they wanted to see if they could find what they wanted in the Southern Wilderness through this grand cultivator. Immediately, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan lifted the restrictions of the cave abode.
Outside their cave abode stood a beautiful female cultivator in an azure dress. It was Ice Jade Palace’s first supreme elder, Perfected Lord Ice Sea, Wu Bingyun.
“I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Wu would actually come personally.” Jiang Chengxuan immediately smiled and took the initiative to speak. “Fellow Daoist Wu, I hope you don’t mind if I’ve neglected you this time. With that, Jiang Chengxuan smiled and gestured for Wu Bingyun to enter..
