Chapter 331 – Harvest from the Pavilion of Sutras, Seeing True Lord Xuanyang, Returning to Jiang

Chapter 331 – Sutra Pavilion Harvest, Goodbye True Monarch Xuan Yang, Return to Jiang Guo

The next moment, he saw a key suddenly appear in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand.

Seeing this key, a flash of doubt immediately appeared on Shen Ruyan’s face at the side.

“Husband, this is ……?”

Jiang Chengxuan immediately laughed.

“Ma’am, just watch for now.

If nothing unexpected happens, this formation in front of us shouldn’t be able to stop us.”

With that said, Jiang Chengxuan took this key and directly was walking towards that Scripture Pavilion.

Buzz!
As expected, as soon as he approached that Scripture Pavilion, inside the Scripture Pavilion, a light suddenly lit up.

That light blocked Jiang Chengxuan’s path.

No matter what method he used, he could no longer advance by half a point.

Sure enough.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chengxuan no longer hesitated, and immediately, he was sending the key in his hand, gently forward.

Ka-ching-

Something unbelievable happened.

Right at the moment Jiang Chengxuan, sent the key in his hand forward.

In mid-air, a sound that sounded like a lock being unlocked suddenly came out.

In the next moment, the light that was originally blocking Jiang Chengxuan’s path suddenly began to dissipate bit by bit.

Along with the entire Sixth Order Formation in this place, it all began to dissipate.

“This ……?”

Shen Ruyan instantly looked shocked.

What kind of treasure was that key in her own husband’s hand?
It was actually able to break even a sixth-order formation so easily.

It was inevitably too unbelievable.

At the same time, the key that was still in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand had similarly begun to dissipate after breaking that sixth-order formation for him.

Jiang Chengxuan’s heart slightly ached.

This was the universal key that the system had rewarded him with, which could help him open any restriction or formation.

Now it was just used by him.

But when he thought about it, using this key here was really not a loss.

Although the efficacy that could be realized by saving this key for later might be even greater.

But for him now, the future will be too far away, and there are too many uncertainties, far less than the real benefits that can be seen right now.

Moreover, since the system was able to reward him with this kind of key in the first place, who could guarantee that in the future, the system would not reward him with a second such key?
With these thoughts in his mind, Jiang Chengxuan’s person, on the other hand, was already pulling Shen Ruyan along with him, walking into that hidden scripture cabinet.

When they were outside, they could only see a part of the interior of the Scripture Pavilion.

Now that people had personally come in, what they saw was naturally more.

In addition to some of the other large batch of jade sketches that they hadn’t seen outside, they had actually seen more than a dozen humanoid puppets inside this Tibetan scripture cabinet.

Among them, there were a total of twelve puppets of the fourth rank.

This could be twelve combatants comparable to the Jindan level.

It was enough to make up for their Jiang family’s current dilemma of not having enough Jindan.

Of course.

This was not the most important thing, what really made Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan care was still the two fifth-order humanoid puppets located in this room.

Looking at their color, they seemed to be three times stronger than the ape puppet they had previously obtained.

And when this was added up, it was a full three YuanYing level combatants.

If all of them were given to Jiang Rendao, Jiang Anran, and Shen Yuanlong to be refined.

Then in the future, even if they were away from the Jiang family and the Jiang Kingdom for a long time, they wouldn’t need to worry too much.

At this moment.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan glanced at each other, and they both saw in each other’s eyes a flash of surprise.

At that moment, they didn’t hesitate, and immediately, they were quick, and put away everything in this Scripture Pavilion, to all of them.

Buzz!
Just as they were scavenging everything within the Scripture Pavilion, an extremely strong teleportation force once again descended upon them.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both a little startled in their hearts.

Where were they being sent this time?
A hidden treasure vault, or perhaps ……?
Without waiting for them to think further, the two of them suddenly felt their bodies lighten.

In the next moment, when they opened their eyes and looked again, their pupils could not help but shrink slightly.

Only to see that in front of them, there was a gust of dense fog surging.

Even with their divine sense as YuanYing level, they were unable to easily penetrate through those thick mists in front of them.

Is this place ……?
The couple could not help but look at each other once again.

A somewhat absurd feeling suddenly rose in both their hearts.

That teleportation just now, it couldn’t be that it directly teleported them out of the Golden Cauldron Mansion, right?
Not to mention.

The familiar environment in front of them, especially those thick fogs.

If this isn’t the periphery of the Cape Bend Cliff Sea, where else could it be?
It really did teleport them out.

Just as this thought flashed through the couple’s minds, in their ears, they suddenly heard a loud bang.

Immediately afterward, the dense fog in front of them began to roll violently.

Vaguely, they seemed to see that the ancient and simple stone door, which was originally still sturdy and tall, suddenly began to collapse.

Along with everything in it, it quickly fell towards the unknown sea below.

This ……?
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts couldn’t help but both be a little surprised.

They weren’t sure what was going on with all of this.

But they knew that since then, that so-called Golden Cauldron Alien Mansion would, I’m afraid, completely disappear from this world.

Standing silently in the same spot for quite a while.

Waiting until those thick mists in front of them began to block their divine sense again, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the two of them, only then did they make a solemn salute in the direction of that Golden Tripod Mansion.

After a while, the two of them continued to stand quietly for a while, before they drove up together and disappeared in this place.

Several months later.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan once again came to the Hidden Sword Palace, found True Lord Xuan Yang, and told him about their earlier discovery in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea.

After True Lord Xuan Yang heard this, his expression instantly was became very grave.

Obviously, there was something about the incident that happened in the Ten Thousand Star Sea that True Lord Xuan Yang was still unaware of.

At this moment, when he heard the couple’s words, he immediately realized that this time, I’m afraid that the Demonic Tribulation was going to be trickier than the previous times.

At that moment, he looked at the two of them and said with an extremely serious expression:
“Fellow Daoists, this news you are talking about is very important, in a moment I will summon this matter to the Violet Sun Palace.”

As the words came to this point, True Lord Xuan Yang seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but continue to open his mouth and say to the two of them:
“By the way, when I went to that Violet Sun Palace earlier and met with the Violet Yan Heavenly Monarch, the Violet Yan Heavenly Monarch asked me about you guys.”

“Hm?”

Hearing True Monarch Xuanyang’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts couldn’t help but both be startled.

How could a Heavenly Monarch of Transformation suddenly ask about them?
Could it be that Shen Ruyan’s identity from her previous life had been exposed?
But that wasn’t possible either.

Not to mention the fact that when Shen Ruyan was still a Transformation God Heavenly Monarch, that Violet Yan Heavenly Monarch still didn’t know where she was.

Just her now, after experiencing reincarnation, she had already severed many karmic ties with her previous life.

Even if the other party was proficient in the art of deduction and divination, it was absolutely impossible for them to truly figure out her specific footsteps.

But they also knew that as a Heavenly Monarch of Transformation, they would never ask True Lord Xuanyang about them for no reason.

There must be something going on, or some special reason.

As if he could see the concerns in the hearts of the two, True Lord Xuanyang could not help but smile slightly and say:
“The two of you don’t need to worry too much, the reason why Senior Purple Inferno Heavenly Monarch asked me about you guys is because I had mentioned you guys many times in front of him in the past.”

“Uh……”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had completely failed to realize that the reason why that towering Violet Flame Heavenly Monarch would ask True Lord Xuanyang about them was actually for this reason.

But they were also quick to react.

Looking at it this way, between True Monarch Xuan Yang he and that Violet Flame Heavenly Monarch, the relationship must be quite uncomplicated as well.

At this moment, they heard True Lord Xuan Yang once again say:

“Especially after this time, Senior Violet Flame Heavenly Monarch he has also taken a great interest in the two of you.

So he specifically instructed me that when I have some free time, I hope that the two of you can go to the Violet Sun Palace together.

He wants to meet you in person.”

“The Violet Flame Heavenly Monarch wants to meet us in person?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were truly surprised this time.

Everyone knew that a Transformation Heavenly Monarch was the highest ceiling of cultivation in this realm.

For any God Transformation Heavenly Monarch, that time was incomparably precious.

Not to mention cultivators like them who had just been promoted to YuanYing not long ago and were not from the Violet Sun Palace, I’m afraid that even if they were YuanYing True Monarchs of the Violet Sun Palace, wanting to personally meet that Violet Yan Heavenly Monarch would probably be an extremely difficult, if not unlikely, thing to do.

How could they be so virtuous as to be personally named by the Heavenly Monarch of God Transformation?

At this moment, the two of them could not help but have a new understanding of the relationship between True Lord Xuanyang and that Violet Flame Heavenly Monarch.

At that moment, they heard Jiang Chengxuan say:
“Senior Xuan Yang, I don’t know that Senior Violet Flame Heavenly Monarch, did he explicitly say when he wanted us to go over?”

Right now, even though both he and Shen Ruyan’s cultivation levels had already reached the YuanYing realm, in the face of True Lord XuanYang, the two of them still referred to themselves as juniors.

Even though True Lord Xuan Yang had reminded them more than once that they only needed to refer to each other as Dao Friends in the future, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan still had no intention of changing their attitude.

Including Zheng Beilong, who was still at Jindan cultivation level, the couple still referred to each other as seniors.

At this moment, True Lord Xuanyang heard Jiang Chengxuan’s words and could not help but smile and shake his head:
“This is not true, but in recent times, he definitely does not have the time to see you guys.

It’s because that Pure Yang True Treasure that can shine a light on the devil-stained objects is already at the final stage of refining.

I suggest that it would be best for you all to head to that Violet Sun Palace within ten years after that Pure Yang True Treasure has been successfully refined, and just meet with Senior Violet Flame.”

Hearing these words from True Lord Xuan Yang, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but both nod their heads.

Continuing, the three of them continued to speak some more.

During that time, Earthbound Sword Monarch and Yan Wushuang also came over to meet with Jiang Chengxuan and the others.

Only when it was about time did the couple offer their farewells.

Two months later.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finally returned to the Jiang Kingdom.

On the third day after returning to the Jiang Country.

Jiang Chengxuan then summoned all the Jiang Kingdom’s senior management, all of them, to Mount Taixuan.

Afterward, he informed everyone present about the matter of the Demonic Scourge.

In an instant, a look of shock and disbelief couldn’t help but appear on everyone’s faces.

Obviously, everyone had not expected that a demonic calamity similar to that of the Seven Lotus Demon Sect back then would be imminent.

This was a disaster that was many times greater than that Demonic Beast Rebellion.

If it was not done properly, not to mention them, I’m afraid that even the Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarchs might fall because of this.

At this moment, the faces of everyone present couldn’t help but become grave, the pressure in their hearts doubling.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but gently tap the armrest beside him, turning to speak to the crowd once again:
“Gentlemen, this time when I inform you of this matter, it is not because I intend to increase the pressure on you, but rather I want you to know what you will be facing in the near future.

Instead of turning into robbed ashes in confusion at that time, it would be better to fight for it plainly.

As the saying goes, crisis crisis, since there is danger, then there must be opportunity in it, it depends on yourselves whether you can grasp it.

Here, I do not want to say anything more.

I only want to ask you all, in this future calamity, are you willing to advance and retreat together with my Jiang Kingdom, the cultivators of the entire Jiang State?

If any of you are unwilling, you can come forward right now, and I will allow you to take your people and leave the boundaries of my Jiang Country.

Don’t worry, if you choose to leave at this time, my Jiang Clan will never pursue the matter.

But ……”

As the words came to this point, Jiang Chengxuan’s tone, suddenly became incomparably stern.

“If you choose to stay, then at that time, if there is another situation where you run away from the battlefield, or don’t listen to orders, or even cower, then I will not blame my Jiang Clan for being merciless.

I will even personally take action to kill the chicken to make an example of you, and even break the Dao lineage that you are in, I still hope that you will think about it, and do not come back with regrets at that time, but it will really be too late.”

A few words, could not help but make all the hearts in the arena flinch.

They knew that Jiang Chengxuan’s words just now were definitely not joking with you.

If the aforementioned situation he mentioned really occurred, there was no need to doubt that he, Jiang Chengxuan, would definitely not show the slightest bit of mercy.

At this moment, most of the people couldn’t help but show a look of struggle and hesitation on their faces.

Obviously, they were all seriously considering those words that Jiang Chengxuan had just said.

In that calamity that was coming afterward, whether these people of theirs would go or stay.

Jiang Chengxuan also didn’t rush, just waiting so quietly for the crowd to decide.

Just like that.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, a quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, and there was never a single voice.

This also meant that all the people present had no intention of leaving the Jiang Country.

Think about it.

Their respective Dao lineages had been passed down here for thousands of years, so how could they just give up?
Most importantly, even if they left the Jiang Country, where could they go?

One must know that this calamity, that was the calamity of the entire Nine Elements Immortal Cultivation World.

They wouldn’t be able to avoid experiencing that demonic calamity as well, even if they left the entire Northern Territory, not to mention leaving the Jiang Country.

Unless they had the ability to escape to another Immortal Cultivation Realm.

But was that possible?
Obviously it was impossible.

So.

Since no matter where he went, he could not hide and escape this demonic calamity, it would be better to continue to honestly stay in the Jiang Kingdom.

That way, at least there were still Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the two YuanYing True Lords, to rely on.

After all, with their understanding of these two, they weren’t the kind of people who would casually use their own people as cannon fodder.

On the contrary, what the duo had done along the way was there for all to see.

Whether it was using their bodies as bait, using it to kill a fifth-order Demon Emperor, as a way to pacify the Demon Beast Rebellion in advance.

Or the fact that they had set the appropriate cultivator laws and established the appropriate order within the entire Jiang Kingdom, they had all strayed away from their entire group of cultivators as well as the human race.

May I ask what else they have to take into consideration when following such a person?

Even if they were really defeated by those demonic cultivators, they would still die in the hands of their enemies in a dignified and clear manner, rather than in the calculations of their own people.

Seeing that more than half an hour has passed.

There was still not a single person present who wanted to come forward.

On Jiang Chengxuan’s face, a smile finally emerged.

He nodded at the people present.

“It seems that all of you do not intend to leave.

Since that’s the case, then in the time to come, I still hope that you will cooperate with me and my wife’s request to conduct a thorough purge of all the places where demonic cultivators may exist within the territory of my Jiang Country, and try to do our best to completely clear all the demonic cultivators within the territory of my Jiang Country before that true demonic calamity arrives.”

“Yes, we will honor True Lord’s decree!”

The crowd of cultivators immediately led the order in a loud voice.

Next, Jiang Chengxuan made some more detailed arrangements for the people present.

Waiting for the crowd to leave, Jiang Chengxuan had left the three Jiang Renyi brothers, Liu Linglong, Jiang Yuncheng, Jiang Yunru, Shen Yuanlong, as well as Shen Daoming and a few others who were closest to him.

Afterwards, it was only then that he joined Shen Ruyan and took out some of the harvests from their trip to that Golden Cauldron Other Mansion.

In particular, it was about the inheritance jade slip of that Golden Cauldron Mansion.

When those people present, after seeing those jade slips, each individual’s face could not help but reveal a look of shock and ecstasy.

Obviously, all of them were very clear that the things that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had taken out right now had a huge significance for them.

“Uncle, are you guys really going to let us pick the contents of these jade sketches at random to learn from?”

Jiang Renyi and the rest of the crowd were still in a bit of disbelief, and subconsciously inquired.

Jiang Chengxuan instantly nodded his head with great certainty and laughed:
“That’s natural.

Right now, since Ruyan and I have taken out these things, we are letting you guys pick them yourselves.

How you choose is all up to you.

Of course.

This matter is currently limited to those of us present, and before the end of this demonic calamity, I will only choose a portion of them and place them into the family’s hidden scriptures, as well as the treasure vault.

As for those remaining, we will have to wait until the right time to deal with them.”

Indeed.

Such a large amount of inheritance, once all of it was placed into the clan’s treasury, or the hidden scripture pavilion, it would definitely cause an incomparably huge stir.

Especially those cultivation techniques that could go straight to the ninth level of YuanYing, as well as the inheritance of the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation such as the Puppet Art.

Once the news was leaked out, I’m afraid that without waiting for the demonic calamity to arrive, there would be many YuanYing sects or clans that would be eyeing their Jiang family and even the entire Jiang Kingdom.

This was not what the current Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan wanted to see.

The people present were obviously well aware of this point as well.

At that moment, they didn’t wait for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to open their mouths, so they each swore to guarantee that they would never leak half of this matter to the outside world.
