Chapter 741 - Senior Sister Xie Xiangyao
In just a few days, Jiang Chengxuan felt a significant improvement in his understanding of the Five Elements.
He finally started to grasp the essence of a water-elemental divine power that had eluded him for so long.
His cultivation progressed rapidly, and by the end of a month on the mountain, his cultivation had astonishingly reached the eighth level of Soul Formation.
Half a year later, his cultivation broke through once again, reaching the ninth level of Soul Formation.
Moreover, the water-elemental divine power he had been struggling to comprehend was fully mastered.
Time flies.
The water-elemental divine power that Jiang Chengxuan had comprehended this time was actually related to time.
Jiang Chengxuan named this divine power “Years,” which was related to the aspect of time.
After this breakthrough, Jiang Chengxuan chose not to leave the mountain immediately but continued his cultivation, focusing this time on his body.
With the body tempering cultivation resources provided by Qin Shenwu, he was confident in advancing his physical body to the peak of Level 6 without even needing to use the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Liquid given by Shen Ruyan’s master, Yun Yizhen.
He planned to save this body cultivation treasure for breaking through to Level
6.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
On a hillside where Jiang Chengxuan was cultivating, the void around him buzzed continuously.
Waves of qi and blood surged from him like a tsunami, indicating the intensity
of his cultivation.
At this moment, nearly four months had passed since he started focusing on tempering his body, and he had finally achieved a breakthrough to the peak of Level 6.
Jiang Chengxuan could feel his own strength immensely.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if the current him were to face the previous him, he could easily defeat the previous him.
He now had enough confidence that if he were to return to the sixth level of Mystic Sky Cave, he wouldn’t be instantly defeated without even seeing his opponent.
He believed he could at least put up a fight or exchange a few blows.
Realizing his time on the Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation was nearly over, Jiang Chengxuan decided it was time to leave.
As Jiang Chengxuan stood up and stretched, a series of crackling sounds echoed, causing the leaves around him to rustle and fall.
It was undeniable that Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation was a great help to his cultivation.
However, he was aware that this was largely because it was his first time entering the mountain, which naturally offered significant assistance.
After that, as he entered more and more times, its help to him would slowly weaken.
This didn’t mean that this was all that the Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation could do.
It was because the area that Jiang Chengxuan could access at the moment could only do so much.
The more he came, the more enlightenment he gained. The help this area provided him would naturally be less effective.
If he wanted to go to a higher and deeper area, it would not be once every ten years, but once every hundred years or even a thousand years.
Or he could use the corresponding contribution points to exchange for such chances.
Jiang Chengxuan had roughly calculated that the area he was currently in would probably lose its effect after two or three more visits.
Next, he had to go to the area that he could only enter once every hundred years to cultivate. Only then would it be of great help to him.
Never mind.
I’ll use what is helpful to me first.
When these places are really useless to me, I’ll accumulate contribution points to exchange for areas that can only be accessed once every hundred years.
As he thought about this, Jiang Chengxuan had already left Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation and headed towards the Shenwu Peak where his Shifu Qin Shenwu resided.
Qin Shenwu had instructed him to visit after leaving the mountain before returning to his own Cloud Mist Peak.
Whoosh—
The streak of light descended.
Jiang Chengxuan’s figure appeared on the Shenwu Peak.
Huh?
As soon as he arrived at Shenwu Peak, Jiang Chengxuan saw a stranger.
It was a beautiful woman in a tight outfit.
She was very tall and had shoulder-length black hair.
Perhaps sensing Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze, the beautiful woman immediately turned to look at him.
When their gazes met, Jiang Chengxuan felt his head buzz.
In an instant, countless illusions seemed to appear.
This made his heart tremble.
Without another word, the Vast Heaven Divine Jade in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness shook slightly.
In the next moment, all the illusions disappeared.
“Huh?”
At the same time, the beautiful woman let out a surprised sound.
Then, she smiled and looked at Jiang Chengxuan.
“If I’m not wrong, you’re the new Junior Brother that Shifu mentioned, right?
Just as Shifu said, your Primordial Spirit is very strong. You escaped from my dream so quickly.
Oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Xie Xiangyao. I’m your senior sister. I just came back from outside today.”
Huh? Senior Sister? Xie Xiangyao?
Hearing this name, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart immediately skipped a beat.
He had long heard of this Senior Sister whom he had never met.
He did not expect to meet her here today.
Without a word, he immediately smiled and cupped his fists.
“It is truly an honor to meet Senior Sister in person.
I have always heard that Senior Sister is the strongest among our Shenwu Peak lineage. Seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved.” Jiang Chengxuan was well aware that Xie Xiangyao’s illusion just now wasn’t meant with any ill will but was simply a subconscious action on her part.
After all, from what he knew, his senior sister cultivated the Five Elements Illusion Technique.
Even if she did nothing, her mere presence was an illusion.
Ordinary people would fall into a dream state within moments of encountering her.
Even cultivators of the same level, if they harbored any ill intentions, might be ensnared by her illusions.
This was why Jiang Chengxuan didn’t take offense.
In other cases, such an action upon first meeting, regardless of the intent, would naturally be annoying.
However, Xie Xiangyao’s case was different.
The illusions she carried weren’t due to her subjective will.
Anyone seeing her, whose cultivation was below hers or who couldn’t resist her type of illusion, would more or less be affected by it.
So.
Under normal circumstances, Xie Xiangyao seldom appeared in crowded places. But if she did appear, it was certain that something was happening.
“How is it? What do you think of your senior sister’s illusory dream?”
Just then, a voice filled with a hint of amusement suddenly appeared in their ears.
Hearing this voice, both Jiang Chengxuan and Xie Xiangyao were startled and immediately turned around and bowed in the direction of the voice: “Greetings, Shifu!”
