Chapter 241 – Golden Dan Ninth Grade

Chapter 241 – Golden Dan Ninth Grade
“Hm?”

Hearing Hou Dongbai’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but be surprised once again.

They didn’t expect that such an important matter would not even be the most important matter of this conversation yet.

Then what would be the thing that Hou Dongbai really wanted to say to them this time?
Then they saw Hou Dongbai take a slightly deep breath before he looked at the two of them and said once again:
“I am sure that you all should know about the origin of that Fushan Wolf King, right?
That’s right.

It was originally a fourth-order demon king within the territory of the Zheng State, and this time, the demon beast chaos, theoretically, should also be on the side of the Zheng State, to cope with this demon.

However, this demon appeared in my Liang Kingdom’s territory and almost let it break through Gu Yuan City, thus entering my Liang Kingdom’s Northern Forest generation.

We have basically clarified this matter.

It was precisely the Zheng Kingdom’s Ding Yuan Marquis House that messed up.”

“The Marquis of Zheng Province?”

Hearing this name, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes couldn’t help but both condense.

Neither of them had forgotten the grudge between their own families and that Marquis Ding Yuan’s House.

That other party’s son, Shangguan Sheng, who was the most valued son of the contemporary Marquis of Ding Yuan, was the one who almost died in the hands of the couple back then.

For this reason, the Marquis of Ding Yuan had even summoned the Bishui Sword Pavilion, asking them to hand over the two of them.

The result was that the Bishui Sword Pavilion had blocked them.

Now, that Marquis Ding Yuan’s residence, even made that kind of thing, is simply is openly trampling on their five countries initially formulated under the anti-demon beasts treaty.

This has obviously touched the fundamental interests of their Liang Country and even the other two countries.

Even the bottom line.

After all, if something like this happened once, there would be a second time if it was messed up.

This time, it was fortunate that the couple was there, along with that fourth-order array disk, to fend off that Fushan Wolf King’s attack.

But what about the next time?

Who could guarantee that something similarly lucky could happen a second time?

Once a certain unanticipated fourth-ranked Demon King was allowed to intervene in the battlefield, then whether it was for their Liang Kingdom, the Cloud Kingdom, or the Yan Kingdom, the blow would be fatal.

Therefore, such a thing must not happen a second time.

Including this time, the Zheng State’s Ding Yuan Marquis House, and even the Zheng State itself, must give their Liang State a statement.

Just for this kind of thing, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were not very optimistic.

Zheng Guo Ding Yuan Marquis House, or rather, what kind of virtues Zheng and Shu countries were, they were already looking at it very clearly.

Wanting them to give a statement or an explanation, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be that easy.

At that moment, the husband and wife did not choke and hide, directly is Jiang their own ideas to say out.

Upon hearing this, Hou Dongbai’s eyes immediately narrowed.

His face suddenly became so much more morose.

“If that’s really the case, then there’s no other way to say that between this country and their Zheng country, they’ll have to bump into each other.

Otherwise, if we really let them think that we, Liang, and even the three kingdoms will acquiesce to this matter, then it is conceivable that in the future, there will definitely be a second time for something similar.”

A few words, immediately made Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts both flinch.

Listening to Hou Dongbai’s meaning, it seemed that he had the intention of going to war with the other party.

If that was the case, then the entire Cangnan Five Kingdoms might be involved.

At that time, it would not be a matter of one country or one clan.

If it really developed to that point, unless there was a forceful intervention from outside, if one wanted to stop, it would never be up to a family or two to say.

At that time, I’m afraid that if we don’t have a winner and a loser, this so-called war will never be able to stop so easily.

However, they also had to admit that something like the Fushan Wolf King’s kind of thing was indeed something that could not be compromised.

Therefore.

Looking at it this way, I’m afraid that this war between the two sides would be very difficult to avoid.

Thinking about this, even with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s two people’s state of mind, they could not help but feel some pressure for a moment.

Now that the Demon Beast Rebellion had just ended, as a result, within their human race, a new war was about to begin.

This matter no matter how you look at it, there is a feeling of that.

As if he could see the two’s thoughts, Hou Dongbai slightly converged some of the coldness in his eyes, and turned to gently sigh and said:
“To be honest, such a thing, if it is possible, we don’t want this either.

But as you all know, this matter, is already beyond our control.

Of course, if the Marquis Ding Yuan’s side is willing to back down and give a corresponding explanation, then this matter today, there should still be something to talk about.”

It’s just that this kind of thing, whether it’s Hou Dongbai himself, or Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, it’s obvious that they are all very aware of how low the probability of that being the case really is.

“But you guys don’t have to worry too much.”

At this time, Hou Dongbai spoke again:

“According to the rules given by the major YuanYing forces, within ten years after the Demon Beast Rebellion, no matter who it is, they are not allowed to start any large-scale wars.

Therefore.

Even if our three kingdoms, at that time, would have a war with their Zheng Kingdom or even Shu Kingdom, it would never be within these ten years.”

After all, the rules issued jointly by the major YuanYing powers, they, the following Jindan clans and families, still had to abide by them.

Unless you want to die.

This caused Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, to let out a slight sigh of relief in their hearts.

If there was a ten year buffer in the middle of this, then it would be slightly better.

At least for the two of them, within ten years, they were bound to be able to ascend to Jindan.

At that time, even if a large-scale Jindan battle did occur, they should still be the top tier of existence.

The ability to save their lives would inevitably be greatly enhanced.

It was just that since it was a war, then it was a situation where anything could happen.

They still needed to take advantage of this time to enhance their own means and strength as much as possible.

Moving on, the couple continued to chat with Hou Dongbai on a number of related topics.

Only after it was about time did Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan offer their farewells and returned to Mount Taixuan with Jiang Rendao and a group of other Jiang Clan members.

Just after returning to Mount Taixuan, Jiang Chengxuan once again called Jiang Rendao, Liu Linglong, Jiang Renyi, and Jiang Renchuan, who were the most central figures in the clan, and spoke to the few people present about what Hou Dongbai had said to the couple earlier.

Jiang Rendao and Liu Linglong Yi and the others couldn’t help but have their faces change after hearing this.

Obviously, they also did not expect that the eventual outcome of that matter that there was about the Wolf King of Fushan in the first place, could potentially evolve into a war between the two countries, or even the five countries.

Although the matter would have to be at the earliest ten years later.

And there was a tiny, tiny probability that a war would not occur.

But, everyone is a very mature Immortal Cultivator, considering the issue, naturally, will not be so simple and naive, and will inevitably consider the worst aspects.

Therefore, it was at this time that they heard family head Jiang Renyi say:
“Uncle, I wonder if you have any special arrangements for us, in the time that follows?

Or rather, what does our Jiang family, need to do?”

As soon as his words fell, the gazes of the crowd, all of a sudden, turned to Jiang Chengxuan.

Then he heard Jiang Chengxuan slowly say, “What needs to be done, what arrangements to set up in advance, these things, you guys can just watch yourselves when the time comes.

I only have one request, and that is to take advantage of this time to improve the overall strength of you and our Jiang family as soon as possible.

In addition, your aunt and uncle and I plan to take a trip out in the near future to seek the opportunity to attain dan.

During that time, if there is anything special, you may summon to contact us.”

“Hm? Uncle, you and your uncle and mother are planning to go out?”

Jiang Renyi and the rest of the crowd were all taken aback.

But they knew that this time right now was the most sensitive period for all parties.

Once the news of the two of them going out was leaked, it might attract the targeting of certain people.

Especially the Zheng Kingdom’s Ding Yuan Marquis, as well as the Demon Beast side, would definitely not mind doing something to them.

However, Jiang Chengxuan himself had also said that this time out, it was about the opportunity to form a dan, so Jiang Renyi and even Jiang Rendao had no way to persuade them.

Therefore, the only thing they could do was to block the information.

Definitely can’t let the news of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan going out be known by anyone other than them.

At the same time, within their hearts, there was a hidden hint of anticipation.

If the two of them went out this time, and were really able to seek out the opportunity to form a dan, and thus achieve a golden dan, then their Jiang Clan would also become a golden dan immortal clan in one fell swoop.

In the future, they would be able to use this to restore the glory of the Ancestral Immortals.

Whenever he thought of this, even if he was as calm as Jiang Renyi and the others, he couldn’t stop a burst of excitement in his heart.

Just like this.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, after staying within the clan for about a week, they set off together once again, and soon left the Jiang Clan Immortal Clan.

About a few days later, the two of them even quietly left the boundaries of Liang Country without alerting anyone, and sped off in the direction of Zheng Country.

Because they wanted to keep a low profile, this time the two didn’t intend to take the teleportation array between the two countries.

And they also have every reason to believe that with the current relationship between the two countries, the transmission array that both sides use to travel to and from each other is most likely already in a state of suspension at this time.

Go.

Even if Liang’s side would open a back door for them.

But by the time they reached the Zheng side, they would inevitably be noticed by the relevant cultivators in charge as well, thus increasing the chances of them being exposed.

It was indeed an unwise move.

The distance from Liang to Zheng was really not close.

Even with the speed of the two of them nowadays, it was enough to fly for some days.

When they came together and entered a land called the White Spirit Swamp within the territory of Zheng Kingdom, Shen Ruyan’s complexion suddenly moved slightly.

Jiang Chengxuan looked at her and asked:
“Did you discover something?”

“Uh-huh.”

Shen Ruyan nodded, a smile slowly surfacing on her face.

“It seems that you and I were lucky this time.

I can’t imagine that we’ve just arrived in Zheng’s territory and found our destination.”

“Really?”

Jiang Chengxuan was also somewhat elated.

If it really went this smoothly this time, it would indeed be a good thing.

In that case, it would also save them a lot of time and effort.

At that moment, they saw Shen Ruyan leading Jiang Chengxuan deeper into this White Spirit Swamp.

This White Spirit Swamp, unusually few cultivators frequented it.

Even demonic beasts would rarely come here.

Only a demonic beast named Spirit Devouring Frog would come here from time to time to look for some broken souls scattered here.

It was also known as the remnant souls.

And because most of the remnant souls here, they were all white in color.

So this place was called the White Spirit Swamp by the people of Zheng.

At this moment, the couple traveled all the way.

After flying for about three hours or so.

Shen Ruyan was suddenly stopped in front of an area with hundreds of remnant spirits.

Looking at the hundreds of wobbling remnant spirits in front of him that had completely lost their self-consciousness, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but turn his head to Shen Ruyan and say:

“Ruyan, is this the place we’re looking for?”

Shen Ruyan nodded.

“That’s right, this is the place.”

As she spoke, she was already sitting down on her knees, and then her mouth began to slowly recite a passage of superlative scriptures.

Slowly.

As she recited, a soft golden light gradually swept out from her body.

Those golden lights swept over those hundreds of remnant spirits.

Those hundreds of remnant spirits that were originally still swaying and in a state of complete bewilderment suddenly flashed a trace of clarity in their empty eyes.

Immediately, they all looked towards Shen Ruyan, and towards her, they directly knelt down.

Buzz!
At the same moment, a hidden spell formation seemed to be activated.

Just as those residual spirits that were kneeling in gratitude to Shen Ruyan, their figures were gradually dispersed by the supernatural, an illusory light door suddenly appeared above the ground.

And it emitted a long and heavy aura.

Shen Ruyan slowly stood up.

She glanced in the direction of the light door and turned to Jiang Chengxuan with a smile:
“Husband, let’s go.”

After saying that, she was the first to take the lead and stepped into that light door with a single step.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately followed with quick steps.

Soon his figure disappeared behind that light door.

Just as Jiang Chengxuan’s figure disappeared behind the light door, the entire light door suddenly disappeared into thin air.

The surroundings returned to silence, and did not leave the slightest trace or breath.

At the same time.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, after entering that light door, immediately arrived in a completely empty space.

There was no top to be seen above, and no bottom to be seen below.

The only thing that filled the entire space was a dense thunder elemental aura.

On top of that, in front of them, there were three clusters of light hovering.

Through the light clusters, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, could completely see what was in them.

A handwritten journal, a lightning seal that shimmered with five-colored thunder light, and a bottle of blue liquid that flowed with hints of thunder light.

These three things, Jiang Chengxuan had obviously not seen in the past.

So he then Jiang looked at Shen Ruyan with a curious gaze.

Shen Ruyan raised her hand and made a move.

Instantly, the items in those three clusters of light all fell into her hands one by one.

Only to hear her slowly say, “This handwritten journal records the methods and requirements of how one should condense the Super Grade Golden Dan.”

“Hm?”

Hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes immediately just stared.

He knew very well that the Super Grade Jindan that Shen Ruyan was talking about here, what exactly did that imply.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, the Jindan that cultivators condensed could be roughly categorized into nine grades.

First to third grade, is the lower grade Jindan. From the fourth to the sixth grade, it was the Middle Grade Jindan. From the seventh to ninth grade, it was the Superior Grade Jindan.

Generally speaking, a lower-grade Jindan has no hope of ever reaching the YuanYing realm in its entire life.

The highest achievement is the middle Jindan stage, with the occasional hope of breaking through to the late Jindan stage.

A mid-grade fourth-grade Jindan, on the other hand, had a smaller probability of breaking through to the False Infant realm.

The fifth grade had a greater hope of achieving False Infant, and occasionally had a chance of being able to achieve Yuan Ying.

For the sixth grade, there was a smaller probability of achieving YuanYing.

Only a true upper grade Jindan would qualify to be called a YuanYing.

Among the major YuanYing clans and families.

However, any cultivator who had condensed a Upper Grade Jindan would basically be cultivated as a YuanYing Seed.

But as far as Jiang Chengxuan knew, nowadays, the quality of the Jindan cultivators in their Cangnan Five Kingdoms, the quality of the Jindan they had condensed was basically a lower-grade Jindan.

Only a very small portion of them were able to condense a middle-grade Jindan.

The upper-grade Jindan, that was even more of a rare existence.

As for the Super Grade Jindan mentioned in the handbook, it was even more unheard of.
