Then, the couple continued to chat with Hou Dongbai about some related topics.
When it was about time, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan bade farewell and returned to Mount Mystic Tai with Jiang Rendao and the others.
As soon as they returned to Mount Mystic Tai, Jiang Chengxuan called Jiang Rendao, Liu Linglong, Jiang Renyi, Jiang Renchuan, and the other core figures of the family over. He told them what Hou Dongbai said.
When the others heard that, their expressions changed drastically.
Clearly, they did not expect that the final outcome of the matter regarding the Wolf King would turn into a war.
Although it wouldn’t take place in ten years and that there was a small chance that a war would not take place, as experienced cultivators, they tended to think of the worst just so they could be well-prepared when the worst came.
Therefore, at this moment, Jiang Renyi said,
“Granduncle, do you have any special arrangements for us in the coming days?” Or rather, what does our Jiang family need to do?”
Jiang Chengxuan said slowly, “I only have one request, and that is to make the best use of the time we have to increase the overall strength of the family as soon as possible.
In addition, your Grandaunt and I plan to go out to find an opportunity to form our Gold Core.
During this period, if anything happens, you can contact us through voice transmission.”
“Huh? Granduncle, are you and Grandaunt planning to go out?”
Jiang Renyi and the others were shocked because this was a sensitive period.
Once the news of the two of them going out was leaked, the Jiang family might be targeted.
Especially the Marquis of Dingyuan and the demon beasts, they definitely wouldn’t miss out on such a good opportunity.
However, Jiang Chengxuan had also said that the goal of him going out was to seek opportunities to form the golden core. Jiang Renyi, Jiang Rendao, and the others knew that it wasn’t right for them to dissuade him.
Therefore, the only thing they could do was to seal this piece of news from leaking out.
They couldn’t let anyone else know that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were away.
At the same time, they were looking forward to the day Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan returned.
If the two of them could really find the opportunity to form their Gold Core, the Jiang family would be able to return to their former glory as a Gold Core Immortal Family.
Every time they thought of this, even the usually calm Jiang Renyi could not help but feel excited.
Just like that.
After staying in the family base for about a week, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan set off.
About a few days later, the two of them quietly left the Liang Nation and flew towards the Zheng Nation without alerting anyone.
Because they wanted to keep a low profile, the two of them did not plan to take the teleportation array.
Moreover, they had every reason to believe that with the current relationship between the two nations, it was very likely that the teleportation array was already in a state of discontinuation.
It was quite a long distance from the Liang Nation to the Zheng Nation.
When they entered a place called the Whitespirit Swamp, Shen Ruyan’s expression suddenly changed.
Jiang Chengxuan looked at her and asked,
“Did you find anything?”
“Yeah.”
Shen Ruyan nodded and a smile slowly appeared on her face.
“Looks like we’re in luck this time.
I didn’t expect to find my destination as soon as I arrived in the Zheng Nation.”
“Really?”
Jiang Chengxuan was also excited.
If things could go so smoothly this time, it would indeed be a good thing.
This way, they could save a lot of time and energy.
Then, Shen Ruyan brought Jiang Chengxuan deep into the Whitespirit Swamp, a place traversed very rarely by human cultivators and demon beasts.
Only a demon beast called the Spirit Devouring Frog would come here from time to time to search for some remnant spirits.
Because most of the remnant spirits here were white in color, this place was called Whitespirit Swamp by the Zheng Nation.
At this moment, the couple didn’t stop and continue deeper into the swamp.
After flying for more than six hours, Shen Ruyan stopped above an area with hundreds of remnant spirits.
Looking at the hundreds of wandering remnant spirits in front of him, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but turn to Shen Ruyan.
“Ruyan, is this the place we’re looking for?”
Shen Ruyan nodded.
“That’s right, it’s here.”
As she spoke, she sat down cross-legged and slowly chanted a sutra.
Slowly.
As she chanted, a gentle golden light gradually spread out from her body.
The golden light swept across the hundreds of remnant spirits.
In the empty eyes of the remnant spirits that were floating back and forth, a trace of clarity suddenly emerged,
Then, they turned to look at Shen Ruyan and knelt down.
Buzz!
At the same time, an obscure array seemed to be activated.
Just as the remnant spirits who were kneeling were gradually exorcised, an illusory door of light appeared on the ground.
It gave people a feeling that it had seen the passage of time.
Shen Ruyan stood up slowly.
She looked in the direction of the door of light and said to Jiang Chengxuan with a smile,
“Husband, let’s go.”
With that, she took the lead and stepped into the door of light.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately followed and soon disappeared behind the door of light.
The moment Jiang Chengxuan was nowhere to be seen, the door of light suddenly scattered and disappeared into thin air.
The surroundings returned to silence, not leaving any traces or aura.
At the same time.
After Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan entered the door of light, they arrived in a space that was topless and bottomless and was completely empty.
There were only dense lightning elements.
In addition, three balls of light floated in front of them.
Through the ball of light, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could clearly see what was inside.
They were a letter, a lightning seal that flickered with five-colored lightning, and a bottle of blue liquid with traces of lightning.
Jiang Chengxuan had never seen these three things in the past.
He looked at Shen Ruyan inquisitively.
Shen Ruyan waved her hand, guiding the three things into her palm.
She slowly said, “This letter records the method and requirements to condense a supreme-grade Golden Core.”
“What?”
Hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed.
He knew very well what the supreme-grade Golden Core Shen Ruyan mentioned meant.
In the cultivation world, the Golden Core condensed by cultivators could be roughly divided into nine levels.
From the first to the third level, it was considered a low-grade Golden Core. From the fourth to the sixth level, it was considered a mid-grade Golden Core. From the seventh to the ninth level, it was considered a high-grade Golden Core.
Generally speaking, someone with a low-grade Golden Core would never have the possibility of reaching the Nascent Soul.
The highest achievement they could accomplish was the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Occasionally, there was hope of breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
Someone with a fourth-level Golden Core had a small chance of breaking through to the False Nascent Soul.
A fifth-level Golden Core had a high chance of reaching the false Nascent Soul and a small chance of eventually reaching the Nascent Soul.
As for the sixth-level Golden Core, there was a small chance of reaching the Nascent Soul.
Only someone with a true high-grade Golden Core was qualified to take the path towards the Nascent Soul.
In the various Nascent Soul sects and families, any cultivator who condensed a high-grade Golden Core would be nurtured as a Nascent Soul seedling.
However, as far as Jiang Chengxuan knew, the quality of the Golden Cores condensed by the Golden Core cultivators of the five nations of Cangnan Region was mostly low-grade.
Only a very small number could condense a mid-grade Golden Core.
High-grade Golden Cores were even rarer.
As for the supreme-grade Golden Core mentioned in the letter, it was even more unheard of..
