Upon witnessing this, Qin Shenwu let out a cold snort from his nose.
The next moment, a gigantic hand radiating five-colored brilliance appeared behind him, striking towards Demon Lord Bone Face who was desperately attempting to flee.
Rumble!
The ground shattered and the sky collapsed.
Transforming into countless avatars to escape in all directions, Demon Lord Bone Face suddenly let out a scream.
In that moment, all his avatars shattered into nothingness, filling his heart with terror.
Without the slightest hope left, he summoned towering demonic flames around him, igniting his millennia of cultivation in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, several avatars shot out, covering billions of miles.
Yet, in the end, most were still obliterated by Qin Shenwu’s five-colored hand, a testament to his terrifying strength.
“Hmph!
“Hmph! Consider yourself lucky today. Next time I encounter you, you will be slain!”
Sensing Demon Lord Bone Face’s aura completely vanish, Qin Shenwu once again let out a cold snort and then appeared within Celestial Heir City.
All those within Celestial Heir City bowed respectfully at his arrival, even Leng Yuehua stepped forward with a fist salute.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Qin.”
Qin Shenwu nodded with a smile.
“Junior Sister Leng, you may need to exert a bit more effort for a while longer. Once the situation on our front stabilizes, you can return to the sect.” Leng Yuehua’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Qin Shenwu’s words. “Senior Brother Qin, you mean…?”
“That’s right.”
Qin Shenwu affirmed with a nod.
“If nothing unexpected happens, the war between the righteous and demonic paths should be coming to an end soon.
Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to my disciple and his Dao companion.” As he said this, Qin Shenwu and Leng Yuehua’s gazes naturally turned towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who both looked somewhat puzzled.
Qin Shenwu chuckled, “Don’t underestimate the impact of your actions.
The disappearance of the three, including Saint Dead Soul, is the final straw that decides the outcome of the current battlefield between the righteous and demonic paths.
The righteous path already had the upper hand, and now, with the three responsible for a key component of the Level 8 array permanently absent from the battlefield, their vacancies are not easily filled.
Under these circumstances, it’s unlikely the demonic path can hold out for much longer.
Unless they wish to escalate the war further, which is improbable.
Doing so would disrupt the balance of power our human race holds in the Celestial Floodgate Realm.
The Deepsea nomads, demons, and eldars would not sit idly by and do nothing. This is something neither we nor the higher realms would allow.
So.
This war will end soon.”
Hearing Qin Shenwu’s explanation, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Leng Yuehua all had moments of realization.
It was at this moment that Qin Shenwu turned his attention back to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“Alright, it’s no longer suitable for you two to stay here. Let’s return to the Haoran Sect together with me,” he said.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged a glance and then simultaneously agreed.
“Yes!”
Soon after, Qin Shenwu led them back to the Haoran Sect in the blink of an eye. “For the time being, you should not venture out again.
Stay within the sect and focus on your cultivation.
Once the war is over, then consider your next steps.
Ideally, wait until you have broken through to the Dao Integration realm before venturing out again.
After all, there are many now who wish to harm you,” Qin Shenwu advised with a smile upon their return to the Haoran Sect, reminding them gently.
This left Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan feeling somewhat awkward.
Indeed.
They had stirred quite a commotion during the war.
Aside from the demonic path seeking their demise, forces like the Qiankun Hall and the Five Elements Heavenly Sect probably wished for their downfall as well. It was no wonder that Qin Shenwu personally intervened to bring them back to the Haoran Sect and specifically warned them.
However, the turmoil of the war also brought them significant gains.
It was indeed time to assimilate their experiences and cultivation.
Hopefully, by the time they emerged from seclusion, the war would be over. Qin Shenwu’s avatar didn’t stay long with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan. After he departed, the couple took some time to rest before attempting to access the storage rings of Saint Black Lotus and Saint Heaven Breaker. Opening the storage rings of two Dao Integration Saints was not an easy task. The rings were imprinted with the Dao insights of their owners, requiring time and effort to unlock.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were no ordinary Seethrough cultivators.
After spending approximately three to four months, they finally managed to unlock the storage rings of the two saints.
Upon opening them, their eyes lit up with excitement.
Contained within the two storage rings were numerous precious resources, including the Linglong Heavenly Liquid that Jiang Chengxuan urgently needed. This top-grade level 7 medicinal elixir for body refining could help Jiang elevate his physical cultivation to the late-stage of Level 7.
Additionally, there were valuable materials for artifact crafting, pill concoction, and talisman making.
Jiang Chengxuan had been pondering how much effort it would take to accumulate the resources needed to advance to a Level 7 talisman master.
Now, with the contents of these storage rings, he could save that considerable effort.
Lastly, there were several Level 8 treasures, various ores, several spiritual herbs, and a Level 8 heaven-connecting spiritual treasure embryo.
The value of these items was extraordinarily high, easily worth more than the combined value of most of their current possessions.
The Level 8 heaven-connecting spiritual treasure embryo, in particular, was something any newly advanced Dao Integration cultivator would find hard to resist.
If brought to auction, it would undoubtedly fetch a high price.
Of course.
No one in their right mind would sell such an item.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were no exception.
Jiang Chengxuan then handed the Level 8 heaven-connectin spiritual treasure embryo to Shen Ruyan, saying,
“Ruyan, take this embryo. With your current strength, you should be able to start refining it.
Once you break through to Dao Integration, it won’t be long before you can turn this embryo into a genuine heaven-connecting spiritual treasure.”
