Chapter 851: Advancing to Level 7 Weapon Master, Reward
As time continued to move forward, at the moment when Saint Skywhite’s heart seemed to sink, Daolord Southbright finally spoke,
“Handle this matter as you see fit, I trust you understand the details and there’s no need for me to elaborate further.”
These words, reaching Saint Skywhite’s ears, immediately filled him with exhilaration.
He quickly nodded in assurance,
Rest assured, Martial Uncle, I will handle this matter thoroughly and will not disappoint you.”
Alright, proceed,” Daolord Southbright concluded, then slowly closed his eyes again.
Seeing this, Saint Skywhite dared not disturb any further. He bowed respectfully to Daolord Southbright and then quietly exited the room.
Once outside, a chilling sneer appeared on Saint Skywhite’s face as he muttered to himself,
“Yun Yizhen, Qin Shenwu, just wait. Soon, a significant ‘gift’ will be on its way to you.”
A few years later.
Within Zi Yang City, a surge of spiritual fluctuation emanated from Jiang Chengxuan’s cave abode, and a shadow of a saber appeared in the sky.
All cultivators who witnessed this scene had their eyes lit up with excitement. Leng Yuehua, who was with Shen Ruyan, smiled and turned to her, saying, “Ruyan, it seems your husband has successfully forged a spiritual treasure.
It’s really worth celebrating.”
Hearing this, Shen Ruyan also smiled.
At the same time.
Inside Jiang Chengxuan’s cave abode, a saber adorned with numerous runes, radiating both red and golden hues, was quietly suspended in front of him.
This sword, the Dark Gold Red Jade Sword, was a newly forged Level 7 spiritual treasure that he had been working on.
It was a culmination of various precious materials, and Jiang Chengxuan had started its forging process a hundred years ago, only achieving success now. [Ding.]
Just as he successfully forged the Dark Gold Red Jade Sword, a system notification suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for advancing to Level 7 weapon master. You will receive a Treasure Advancement Stone and a one-time use top-grade Heaven-connecting Spiritual Treasure, the Slaughter Blade.]
The Treasure Advancement Stone, as its name suggests, is naturally something that can be used to elevate the grade of a treasure.
Jiang Chengxuan plans to use it later to upgrade his Five Elements Diagram to Level 8 Heaven-connecting Spiritual Treasure.
Next is the one-time use top-grade Heaven-connecting Spiritual Treasure, the Slaughter Blade.
This blade has only one chance to be used.
When used, it requires draining all the Dharmic power from the user’s body, and then unleashes an attack powerful enough to kill a saint at Dao Inception stage.
The so-called Dao Inception stage was the first stage of the Dao Integration Realm.
After that, there was the Dao Fusion stage and the Dao Mastery stage. Like the Void Returning Realm, the Dao Integration Realm is also divided into three sub-stages.
The difference in strength between each stage can be described as heaven and earth.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan did not rush to leave his cave abode but took out the Treasure Advancement Stone awarded by the system.
Then, he used the Treasure Advancement Stone on his intrinsic spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Diagram.
Buzz!
As a strange light swept across, the Treasure Advancement Stone in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand quickly merged into the Five Elements Diagram.
Instantly, an extremely strong aura emanated from the diagram.
The entire diagram quietly floated in front of Jiang Chengxuan. Sometimes enveloped in flames, sometimes with waves crashing, and at times with the humming of metal.
Just watching it, Jiang Chengxuan unwittingly entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
Because what the Five Elements Diagram was evolving wasn’t anything ordinary, but the transformation of rules, the direction of the great Dao.
This is a very rare opportunity.
Only at the moment when a spiritual treasure is elevated to a
Heaven-connecting Spiritual Treasure is there a one in a thousand chance of this happening.
And just as Jiang Chengxuan was immersed in this state of enlightenment, outside Celestial Heir City where he was located.
At this moment, many figures had already appeared.
Each of these figures was enveloped in an extremely dense demonic aura. Especially the leading three individuals, whose aura was even more terrifying. They were Saint Dead Soul from the Ghost Hall, Saint Heaven Breaker from the Joyous Union Valley, and Saint Black Lotus from the Sacred Skeleton Sect. They looked towards Celestial Heir City in the distance.
Suddenly, Saint Dead Soul said, “Both of you, the purpose of our visit this time should be very clear to you.
Although I do not know who passed us this message.
But since the accuracy of this message has been confirmed, then we need to seize this opportunity.
We must nip those two in the bud before they truly grow up.
Otherwise, once they break through to Dao Integration, you and I might end up dying by their hands in the future.”
Saint Dead Soul from the Joyous Union Valley said, “Saint Dead Soul, you’re right in what you say, but the problem lies in the fact that they are currently protected by the city’s defensive array in Celestial Heir City.
Just the three of us, it might not be possible to breach Celestial Heir City.”
“Who said we need to breach Celestial Heir City?”
Saint Dead Soul’s face suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.
Saint Heaven Breaker and Saint Black Lotus exchanged glances.
Then, Saint Black Lotus said, “Saint Dead Soul, what do you mean by that?” “Simple,” replied Saint Dead Soul.
“Since our target this time is Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, naturally, we can’t just force our way through.
In my opinion, using the several immortal cities around them as bait is a good choice.
What do you think?”
The implication was to use the assault on other cities surrounding Celestial
Heir City as bait to lure Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan out.
Then, with their combined force, they plan to carry out a lightning strike to resolve the battle in the shortest possible time.
It’s an old but effective method.
Once Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan are lured out of Celestial Heir City, with the strength of these three saints, there’s indeed a great possibility that they could put them at a disadvantage or even in peril.
After all, the advantage of Dao Integration against Void Returning, especially with a semi-ambush approach, is significantly substantial.
Any Void Returning cultivator faced with this situation would likely not stand a chance.
Even for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, if they reacted a little slower, there was a high chance that they would fail.
“I think Saint Dead Soul’s method is workable,” Saint Heaven Breaker was the first to agree.
Saint Black Lotus also nodded at this time.
“I have no objections either.
However, since we’re going to attract them out, naturally, the three of us cannot show ourselves.
Next, we might have to rely on the cultivators under our command..”
