Despite having anticipated it, seeing Shen Ruyan attempting to break through to Soul Formation still caught Jiang Chengxuan off guard.
Instinctively, he heightened his alertness to the maximum and his voice echoed throughout the state of Jiang and its surroundings.
“Fellow Daoists, my Dao companion Shen Ruyan is currently attempting to break through to Soul Formation.
During this period, my Jiang family will refuse all uninvited cultivators. We hope for your understanding.
If anyone is interested in the ruin appearing within our Jiang family’s territory afterwards, I can promise that as long as everyone abides by the rules set by our Jiang family, once my Dao companion successfully breaks through, we can sit down and discuss the exploration of this ruin.
We will certainly not deprive anyone of the chance to explore it.”
Jiang Chengxuan knew well that Soul Formation breakthrough would be an earth-shattering event, impossible to hide from anyone.
Instead of trying to cover it up, it was better to acknowledge it openly.
Next, he addressed the matter of the ruin.
!!..
In Jiang Chengxuan’s heart, nothing was more important than his wife’s safety.
Since everyone was interested in the ruin that had appeared within his territory, fine.
Once his wife broke through, as long as they followed the Jiang family’s rules, everyone would be given a chance to explore it.
But on the contrary, if anyone tried to make a move or cause trouble at this time, sorry, but no matter who it is, they would be considered an enemy by the Jiang family, and a target to be eliminated without mercy.
Everyone could clearly sense the meaning and determination hidden in Jiang Chengxuan’s words.
They did not doubt that if they refused to listen to Jiang Chengxuan and insisted on entering the ruin to take a look, they would definitely provoke his thunderous attack at the first instance.
On the border of the state of Jiang.
Jiang Anran, Tang Baisheng, and Gu Yuefeng, the three of them, looked at several Nascent Soul cultivators opposite them.
Jiang Anran said, “Are you sure you want to continue forward?”
Hearing Jiang Anran’s words, the expressions of the Nascent Soul cultivators present changed.
They exchanged glances and then suddenly declared loudly, “We believe in Fellow Daoist Jiang’s promise. So, we will take our leave first.”
After saying this, the several Nascent Soul cultivators indeed no longer hesitated and disappeared from the sight of Jiang Anran and the others.
At the same time.
All the Nascent Soul forces in the northern border were aware of the events occurring in the state of Jiang.
While they were shocked that Shen Ruyan had started to break through to the Soul Formation realm, they were also extremely curious about the ruin that had appeared in the Jiang family’s territory.
In a quiet and elegant room.
Shui Xianlan, listening to Perfected Lord Glowleaf talking about the events in the state of Jiang, showed a mix of surprise and amazement in her beautiful eyes.
She never expected that one of the two people they met a few years ago had already started to break through to the Soul Formation.
Most importantly, a ruin had actually appeared in their territory.
In comparison, the appearance of a super-large spirit stone mine seemed to be unconsciously ignored by many.
“Junior Sister Shui, do you think we should…?1‘
At that moment, Perfected Lord Glowleaf couldn’t hold back his excitement.
However, a bitter smile appeared on Shui Xianlan’s face.
She shook her head and said, “Haven’t you noticed something going on in Black Sea Pavillion where we are at?”
“Huh?”
Perfected Lord Glowleaf was stunned.
Shui Xianlan continued, “They have already used their mountain protective array to completely seal the entrance.
Especially the area where we are. Our range of activity is further restricted.
Can’t you tell what this means?”
Reminded by Shui Xianlan, Perfected Lord Glowleaf finally realized the situation.
His expression changed slightly.
“What does the Black Sea Pavilion mean? Are they restricting our freedom?”
Shui Xianlan spoke somewhat helplessly, “If you must think so, it’s not entirely wrong.
Anyway, until that Fairy Shen exits her seclusion, it’s likely difficult for us to leave here.”
At the same time.
One, two, three, four…
Four incredibly powerful yet exceedingly subtle auras appeared around Mount Mystic Tai.
Jiang Chengxuan, of course, noticed this.
In fact, the owners of these four auras did not hide their presence from Jiang Chengxuan.
They were Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang, Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean, and Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, who had been invited by him earlier.
What surprised him was the presence of Heavenly Lord Purple Flame from Purple Flame Palace, who had also arrived unexpectedly.
Back then, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t ask him for help, considering that he was badly injured during the Demon Calamity.
“Young Fellow Jiang, I didn’t expect Young Fellow Shen to progress so quickly.
In such a short time, she has already managed to touch the threshold of our realm.
It’s really worth celebrating.”
At this moment, Heavenly Lord Purple Flame’s voice suddenly echoed in Jiang Chengxuan’s ears.
“Don’t worry, with the four of us here, no one in the northern border will disturb Young Fellow Shen’s breakthrough.
The only thing you need to be wary of are the cultivators from the Eastern End and the Central Plain, and those individuals you informed us about earlier.” “That’s right.”
The voices of Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain and Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean also sounded in Jiang Chengxuan’s ears.
“If our guess is correct, the Eastern End and Central Plain should have noticed some anomalies here by now.
Moreover, with their deep foundation, they certainly have some methods unknown to us.
Even if the teleportation array is terminated, they possess the capability to allow cultivators like us to descend into the Northern Border.
This, I fear, is the real human tribulation that Young Fellow Shen has to face this time.”
After hearing the words of the Heavenly Lords, Jiang Chengxuan’s mood instantly became extremely solemn.
He hadn’t expected that the Eastern Border and the Central Plain would have such hidden methods at their disposal.
It’s no wonder these are currently the two most powerful regions in the entire Nine Essences Cultivation World.
At the same time, he felt a bit ashamed about his previous wariness towards Infinite Ocean, Everlasting Mountain, and the others.
It was not hard for him to see that the arrival of these four Heavenly Lords was genuinely intended to help him and Shen Ruyan, without any ulterior motives.
He just didn’t know how long his wife’s breakthrough would take.
Advancing to Soul Formation is not like breaking through Golden Core or Nascent Soul.
From the start of the breakthrough, it could take as short as half a year to a year, and in longer cases, even three to five years wouldn’t be unusual.
He hoped that Ruyan could progress a bit faster and complete the advancement before the real crisis arrives.
Time passed quickly.
Two years had gone by in a blink of an eye.
At this moment.
In a forest, shrouded by giant trees that blocked out all light, creating a dark ambiance, suddenly, a dazzling white light lit up from beneath the ground.
When the light dissipated, three figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.
The aura around these three was incredibly formidable.
Be it Golden Core demon kings or Nascent Soul demon emperors, the moment they sensed the auras emitted by the three of them, they were so frightened that they prostrated on the ground and trembled.
Buzz!
At the same time.
Two figures suddenly appeared opposite these three individuals.
One was a hunched old man, and the other was a man with a stern face.
The hunched old man spoke, “Isn’t your abrupt arrival in our demon race’s territory a bit too disrespectful?
Or do you think just because you’re from the Eastern End and the Central Plain, our demon race wouldn’t dare to do anything to you?”
Hearing the old man’s words, the eyes of the three narrowed slightly.
However, the man in the yellow robe, who seemed to be the leader of the three, soon spoke up.
“Elder Black Tortoise, it’s been many years since we last met. It seems that you’re still the same as before. You like to scare people.
Sure enough.
Although this is the territory of your demon race, a thousand years ago, our two sides made an agreement.
As long as it’s a cultivator from the Central Plain and the Eastern End, when they teleport here, you’ll open a gateway for us three times.
Now we’ve only used one opportunity. Are you planning to break our agreement?”
As the leading man finished speaking, the aura of the three of them subtly interconnected, ready to act preemptively at any sign of aggression from Elder Black Tortoise and the stern-faced man.
This caused a flash of violence in the eyes of the stern-faced man.
However, Elder Black Tortoise quickly raised his hand to stop him and then suddenly spoke with a laugh:
“Be patient.”
Saying this, Elder Black Tortoise turned his attention back to the three men, especially the leader, and said with a smile,
“If I’m not mistaken, you must be Xiao Shenji, the Fourth Prince of the Great Ling Imperial Palace of the Central Plain, right?
That was all a misunderstanding. Since you wish to pass through our territory, please feel free to do so. I assure you that no one will stop you.”
After speaking, Elder Black Tortoise even made a welcoming gesture towards Xiao Shenji.
The other two then looked towards Xiao Shenji.
Xiao Shenji squinted at Elder Black Tortoise for a while, then suddenly burst into a smile.
“In that case, we thank Elder Black Tortoise. Farewell.”
Saying this, Xiao Shenji did not hesitate.
He seemed not to worry about any tricks from the other party, and led his two companions straight away towards the distance.
Once the figures of Xiao Shenji and his companions gradually disappeared, the stern-faced man turned to Elder Black Tortoise and said,
“Why didn’t you give them a lesson just now?
You know, with our strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to teach them a lesson.”
Elder Black Tortoise, however, shook his head.
“There’s no need.
I think you also understand very well why Xiao Shenji and his group are here.
Instead of giving them a lesson, I am more interested in seeing the spectacle of their human race fighting each other with all their might.”
As he spoke, a flash of golden light briefly passed through Elder Black Tortoise’s eyes..
