Chapter 466 - 466: The Crisis of the Nine Essences Immortal Cultivation World, End of the Demon Beast Riot, Jiang Chengxuan Condensing Nascent Soul (2)
Also, regarding this matter that concerned the survival of the world, did the other Soul Formation Heavenly Lords know about it?
What about the demons?
If the Level 6 demon sovereigns were aware of this hidden crisis, why didn’t they join forces with the human cultivators? Instead, they continued to harass the human race relentlessly.
Thinking about this, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but ask Shen Ruyan again.
However, this time, Shen Ruyan shook her head slightly.
“As far as I know, when I ascended, it seemed that everyone was not very clear about the true situation in the outer world. There were only vague speculations.
Over these years, I can’t be sure if their understanding of this matter has grown deeper.”
As for the demons…”
At this point, Shen Ruyan’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
“Before, I wasn’t sure, but now, I have some speculations.
It’s very possible that the demons have long known about the true situation of the outer world.
The reason they initiate the demon beast riot every hundred years and occasionally collude with those demonic cultivators, I suspect they might have already pledged allegiance to the other side.
Of course, these are just my speculations and cannot be confirmed.
But based on my insights and understanding from two lifetimes, there is a probability of over sixty percent that I’m right.”
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s mood suddenly became extremely heavy.
If what Shen Ruyan said was true, especially about the terrifying existence in the outer world, then would their world have a chance of surviving all this?
Suddenly, Jiang Chengxuan felt a soft hand gently placed on his shoulder.
Shen Ruyan had already stood up from his embrace, looking at him with an unprecedented serious expression.
“Husband, regardless of what the future holds, we must continue on.
Do our best.
At least this way, neither you nor I will have regrets.”
Upon hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, he finally truly understood why, at the beginning of becoming Dao companions, no matter what, Shen Ruyan refused to explain these things to him.
Even after they both broke through to the Golden Core, Shen Ruyan had no intention of telling him about these matters.
It was only today, after their strength reached the Nascent Soul, that Shen Ruyan revealed these to him.
Fortunately she chose to do this.
Otherwise, when he was still weak and vulnerable, if he learned the truth about the world, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t guarantee that his Dao heart wouldn’t collapse.
At this moment, he looked at Shen Ruyan and nodded heavily.
“Yes, wife, I understand.”
Indeed.
No matter how the future unfolds, they only need to do what they can do at present.
Even if they worry about it, it will be of no use and meaning.
It will only add unnecessary anxiety.
Time passed in a flash.
After a few more years.
At this time, the demon beast riot in various parts of the Northern Border had completely ended.
Due to the unprecedented scale of this demon beast riot, the losses on the human side far exceeded those of the past.
According to the information Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan received, the number of Nascent Soul Perfected Lords who fell among the human cultivators exceeded a dozen.
This was something unimaginable in previous years.
The number of cultivators who died in the demon beast riot, including those in the Golden Core and Violet Palace, was several times or even dozens of times more than in the past.
Large areas of human territories were occupied by demon beasts.
Billions of mortals became their food.
All the cultivators in the Cangnan Region were grateful that they had Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Not only did they kill the Level 5 demon emperor, but they also stopped the demon beast riot several years in advance.
Otherwise, they couldn’t imagine what the outcome would be for the Cangnan Region that didn’t have a Nascent Soul Perfected Lord presiding over it.
It might have ended up like those small regions or states without Nascent Soul Perfected Lords, completely collapsing under the fangs of those demon beasts.
That would be truly terrifying.
At this moment.
In the cave abode of Jiang Chengxuan on Mount Mystic Tai of the Jiang family.
After years of dedicated cultivation, Jiang Chengxuan had reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core.
At this point, he could clearly feel that he was a step away from entering Nascent Soul.
The feeling was as if he only needed a gentle push, and he could easily cross the threshold.
However, he did not rush to do so.
Instead, he continued to refine his Dharmic power, contemplating the changes in his Dao.
Finally, after a few more years had passed.
Jiang Chengxuan suddenly felt that his opportunity to break through had arrived.
Therefore, he no longer deliberately delayed.
The divine-grade Golden Core inside him trembled slightly.
The Dharmic power in his body immediately surged like a river.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
With the circulation of the Five Elements True Technique, Jiang Chengxuan’s body suddenly displayed white, blue, red, green, and yellow colors, which then merged into one and rotated like a wheel.
A mysterious and powerful aura, accompanied by extremely strong pressure, suddenly erupted from Jiang Chengxuan’s body.
It could be clearly seen that the surface of Jiang Chengxuan’s Golden Core now had protrusions appearing.
This was the most crucial stage of forming the Nascent Soul.
Contrary to what many people thought, cultivators do not need to shatter their original Golden Core to condense the Nascent Soul. Instead, on the basis of the original Golden Core, Their Golden Core grows limbs and facial features like a newly hatched chick. This was the correct way to condense the Nascent Soul.
There was no overly difficult process.
Jiang Chengxuan’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul this time was extremely smooth.
In just a moment, distinct facial features appeared on the surface of his divine-grade Golden Core, followed by hands and feet.
Finally, the entire Golden Core transformed into a miniature figure exactly resembling Jiang Chengxuan, about half a foot in size.
He opened his mouth and inhaled.
In an instant, numerous Five Elements spiritual objects that Jiang Chengxuan had prepared in advance were all sucked into his body.
A stream of rich spiritual Qi, like liquid, quickly flowed into his body.
It could be clearly seen that the facial features of Jiang Chengxuan’s Nascent Soul became clearer, and its size began to gradually increase.
However, this was not enough.
Jiang Chengxuan flipped his hand.
The Origin Qi was taken out and directly refined into his body.
As he refined the Origin Qi, Jiang Chengxuan could clearly feel that his Nascent Soul was starting a new round of transformation.
On the surface of his body, white, blue, red, green, and yellow lights appeared.
And these lights gradually merged into his body.
BOOM!
Unconsciously, Jiang Chengxuan felt as if his consciousness had entered a world filled with only five-colored brilliance.
All kinds of comprehension about the Five Elements Intent kept entering his mind.
In the outside world.
The Jiang family cultivators, who were busy with their own matters, suddenly saw a five-colored light rise from the direction of Xuanming Peak.
Accompanied by this, there were whirlwinds of rich spiritual Qi madly converging towards that direction.
This made Jiang Renyi, Jiang Rendao, and other leading figures of the Jiang family immediately realize something. Joy and anticipation appeared on their faces.
Without any hesitation, the group of elders led by Jiang Renyi and Jiang Rendao swiftly flew towards Xuanming Peak.
Upon their arrival at Xuanming Peak, they found that Shen Ruyan had been waiting there for a long time.
The group of people did not dare to be negligent and immediately approached to pay their respects.
After a while.
Jiang Anran, a disciple of Shen Ruyan, took the initiative to step forward and asked,
“Shifu Ruyan, is Shifu Chengxuan…”
