Chapter 318 – Crowd Congratulation, Hou Dongbai’s Proposal, Statehood

Chapter 318 – Crowd Congratulation, Hou Dongbai’s Proposal, Statehood!

It is important to know that after a cultivator breaks through the YuanYing, every time he advances in cultivation, that time, is almost always counted in hundreds of years.

Especially those cultivators who had only condensed the yellow level YuanYing, even if they reached the end of their lifespan, they might not be able to break through to the peak of the early YuanYing stage, which was the third level of YuanYing.

In other words, even with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s qualifications, under normal circumstances, if they wanted to raise a small layer of realm, they would similarly not be able to accomplish it without several decades of hard cultivation.

From this, it could be seen just how helpful the dual cultivation of the two at the moment was in terms of raising their cultivation levels.

At this moment.

Whether it was Jiang Chengxuan or Shen Ruyan, neither of them were in a hurry to leave the gate.

Especially Shen Ruyan.

This would be her, and she had clearly taken out the Purple Text Heavenly Thunder Fruit and Purple Text Landmine Fruit, and then turned her head to Jiang Chengxuan and said:
“Husband, next, I’m going to use this Purple Text Heavenly Thunder Fruit and Purple Text Landmine Fruit to see if I can boost the power of my existing divine abilities, and by the way, get another fifth-ranked Thunder System True Treasure.”

Jiang Chengxuan naturally expressed his support for this idea of Shen Ruyan’s, but he still asked with a smile.

“What? No plans to use that Purple Man Thunder Fruit to raise your cultivation again?

Three hundred years of hard cultivation might be able to directly allow you to break through to the mid YuanYing realm in one fell swoop.”

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but smile and shake her head.

“Not for the time being, at the moment my cultivation has not yet reached the peak of the early YuanYing stage, using that Purple Man Thunder Fruit hastily would inevitably be a bit of a waste.

If I can, I still want to use it at a more appropriate time.”

At this, Jiang Chengxuan expressed his understanding.

Next, Shen Ruyan began to take that Purple Man Heavenly Thunder Fruit, preparing to use it to further comprehend her existing lightning divine abilities.

Jiang Chengxuan, on the other hand, took out the two Fifth Order Five Elemental Techniques he had previously obtained and began to study them.

These two techniques were the Roaring Inferno Dragon Technique of the fire system, and the Heavenly Meteor Chaos Technique of the earth system.

When the former was cultivated to a high level, it could condense a Roaring Inferno Dragon, turning tens or even hundreds of miles in a radius into magma.

The latter, on the other hand, could summon the Heavenly Meteorite to attack your enemies without discrimination, a rather strong attack-type earth system spell.

Generally speaking, after a cultivator breaks through to the YuanYing realm, very few people will still be able to specialize in such things as spells.

After all, the power of a spell is still quite a bit worse compared to a divine ability.

Most of the time, when YuanYing cultivators fought against each other, what they used was either a fifth-ranked true treasure or a fifth-ranked divine ability.

Although the two can’t do the real sense of instantaneous, but compared to the need to pinch the incantation spells, speed, or to be much faster.

This could easily be caught in a real life and death battle, and it was even very easy to get oneself into a passive state.

And this, too, was another reason why YuanYing cultivators were unwilling to use their magic spells against their enemies, and also a more important reason.

Moreover, regardless of whether it was using techniques against the enemy, or using divine powers or true treasures against the enemy, the amount of mana they had to consume was basically the same.

Under such circumstances, art techniques, it seemed, had become a bit of a chicken rib.

However, for Jiang Chengxuan, who possessed the innate magic treasure Yin Yang Divine Water Jade, as well as the passive divine ability, the five elemental arts that were instantaneous, these problems weren’t really a problem.

Especially in the future, after he raised his Yin Yang Divine Water Jade, to the fifth rank.

The more fifth rank five elemental techniques he mastered, then the greater the increase in his personal strength would be.

Imagine if he was able to master more than ten Fifth Order Five Elemental Techniques at once in the future, then when battling others, throwing out ten Fifth Order Five Elemental Techniques in a single breath, what kind of a scene would that be.

Even if the power of a spell was a step weaker than a divine ability, throwing out ten, or even more than ten, fifth-order spells at once would definitely explode with unimaginable and horrifying power.

In other words, even if it was the same spell, if it could be instantaneously released one after another, the power would also not be underestimated.

Therefore.

For Jiang Chengxuan nowadays, researching the corresponding five elemental arts seemed to have become an inevitable trend.

Just like that.

The greater half of the year passed.

Jiang Chengxuan, with the qualification of the Great Yin-Yang Five Elements Spiritual Root, as well as the talent in various aspects such as the heel that had been upgraded by the system many times, had heuristically already cultivated those two Fifth Order Arts, the Roaring Inflammatory Dragon Art and the Heavenly Meteorite Chaos Skill, to an extremely profound level.

At this time, he only needed a slight movement of his mind to instantly explode more than 70% of the power of these two spells.

Looking not far away, Shen Ruyan, who was still in seclusion, Jiang Chengxuan did not continue to stay in the cave, and immediately got up and left the cave.

Coming outside, Jiang Chengxuan began to think about what he was going to do next.

First of all, it was those magic treasures on his body.

Such as the Gengjin Void Sword, the Thick Earth Desolate Heaven Halberd, the Yin-Yang Divine Water Jade, and the Bipolar Yuanmagnetic Divine Mountain, all of them had to be managed to bring them up to the fifth rank level.

Although the first three magic treasures were all his original magic treasures.

Even if he didn’t use any spiritual objects or materials, just relying on the warmth of the mana in his body, he could still slowly raise them to the fifth rank level.

However, I’m afraid that the time it would take to do so would be rather long.

Jiang Chengxuan didn’t intend to do that.

If he could, he still wanted to collect the relevant materials as soon as possible, so that those magic treasures of his could be upgraded to the fifth rank level as early as possible.

This included the other fire-attributed innate magic treasure he had yet to refine, the Eternal Blazing Sun Furnace.

With regards to the collection of that Eternal Heavenly Crystal material, it was also necessary to speed up the progress.

Secondly, there was the collection of fifth-order five elemental techniques.

In this matter, just like finding those materials, he needed the Jiang family to help him to explore the relevant information first.

When there was definite information, he or Shen Ruyan would be able to personally go out.

Other than that, it was about the matter of the protective grand formation.

When it was appropriate, he would likewise have to consider, upgrading the current protective mountain formation, to a fifth-order level.

After sorting out all these things in his mind, Jiang Chengxuan was planning to send these tasks to Jiang Renyi, when Shen Ruyan, who was still in seclusion, suddenly appeared behind him.

This made Jiang Chengxuan’s face instantly happy, turning his head to look behind him, smiling:
“Ma’am, you’ve come out of seclusion?

How was it? How was the harvest?”

“Uh, not bad.”

Shen Ruyan instantly smiled and nodded at Jiang Chengxuan, then she saw her raise her hand and flip it.

A large umbrella that was glowing with purple electric light appeared in Shen Ruyan’s hands.

“Uh, this is?”

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes instantly condensed.

Then he saw Shen Ruyan nodding with a smile once again and said, “Not bad, this is the Fifth Order Thunder System True Treasure called Thundercloud Purple Electricity Umbrella that was transformed from that Purple Man Landmine Fruit, using that Purple Man Landmine Fruit.

It is a True Treasure that gathers defense and attack.”

According to Shen Ruyan, this Thundercloud Purple Electricity Umbrella, when activated at full power, could erupt into an extremely powerful Purple Man Thunder Gang.

It could be used to defend against other people’s attacks, and it could also turn this Purple Man Thunder Dipper into an extremely powerful purple thunderbolt to attack the enemy.

It is extremely powerful.

In addition, when she took the Purple Man Heavenly Thunder Fruit, the harvest was even greater.

Not only did it allow her existing divine ability, the Small Five Elements Divine Thunder, to enhance its power by several layers, it allowed her Thunder Spirit True Body to rise in power once again by a step.

Furthermore, she had also comprehended a new lightning divine ability.

It was named the Seven Star Thunder God Gun.

Utilizing the power of the seven stars in the sky, she transformed them into a True Thunder Lance, thus erupting with a terrifying power second only to the Lesser Five Elements Divine Thunder.

It was currently Shen Ruyan’s strongest offensive means other than the Small Five Elements Divine Thunder, the Thunder Spirit True Body, and the True Thunder Divine Seal.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the two Heaven and Earth Spirit Fruits have almost raised Shen Ruyan’s overall strength by several steps.

It was worthy of being a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fruit that could only produce three every eight hundred years, and its utility was truly extraordinary.

Just as the couple was communicating with each other, a transmission talisman from family head Jiang Renyi suddenly fell into Jiang Chengxuan’s hands.

Taking out the transmission and looking at it, Jiang Chengxuan immediately smiled and said to Shen Ruyan:
“It’s the fellow disciples from the other sects who have come, saying that they want to congratulate you and I on our achievement of Yuanying.

In that case, you and I will go over together to take a look.”

“Uh-huh.”

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but nod.

Soon, the couple was together, arriving in the middle of their Jiang family’s hospitality hall.

At this time, within this hospitality hall.

Almost all of the Cangnan Alliance’s executives were gathered here.

In fact.

As early as the day they sensed Shen Ruyan’s achievement of being a YuanYing, they had already wanted to come here to offer their congratulations.

Only at that time, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan clearly did not have the time to receive them, so this matter had been delayed until now.

At this moment, when the people present saw the two YuanYing True Monarchs appear, one by one, they all immediately bowed respectfully, and with their mouths rising high, they said:

“We have met the two True Lords!
Congratulations to the two True Monarchs for achieving the Gen-Ying, since then the Immortal Path has prospered and there is hope for immortality!”

“You all are welcome.”

Jiang Chengxuan instantly smiled and raised his hand, giving a gentle support to the bowing crowd.

In an instant, the people present immediately felt an extremely soft, yet irresistible, thick mana fall on their bodies, causing them to involuntarily stand up straight.

The hearts of the crowd were all somewhat shocked.

Especially those cultivators who had come into contact with a YuanYing True Lord for the first time were even more appalled.

Was this the strength possessed by a YuanYing True Lord?

It was simply ……

Unfathomable ah!
Despite the shock in their hearts, there was hardly a single person present who was slow to react, and one by one, they immediately offered the congratulatory gifts they had come to congratulate.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Although their cultivation strength had reached their current realm, these congratulatory gifts sent by the crowd were no longer of much use to them.

However, for one thing, it was the crowd’s intention, and for another, although these congratulatory gifts were useless to them, they were still of great use to the other sons and daughters of their Jiang family.

When Jiang Renyi, Jiang Rendao, and Jiang Anran, who were present, accepted these congratulatory gifts one by one on behalf of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, Hou Dongbai from the Aqua Sword Pavilion couldn’t help but take the lead in speaking.

“Both of you True Lords, now that you are able to achieve Yuanying, it is truly a blessing for our entire Cangnan Domain, and likewise a blessing for our entire Cangnan Alliance.

But forgive me for being so bold, in my humble opinion, now that my Cangnan Domain, since there are already two seniors in it, then again, in the form of an alliance, it is already somewhat inappropriate for my Cangnan Domain to be so reluctantly united together.”

As soon as his words fell, the faces of some of the people present immediately changed subtly.

Clearly, with regards to Hou Dongbai’s words, the ones present were not clear about it before.

Even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but glance at each other, and in each other’s eyes, they couldn’t help but show some color of interest.

At that moment, Hou Dongbai was heard to continue:
“In the opinion of my juniors, nowadays, my Cangnan Domain should be honored by the two seniors.

I suggest that the two seniors can consider the matter of establishing a state!”

Boom!
As soon as his words fell, there was a count of one in the room, and on everyone’s face, a look of surprise could not help but spread.

Soon there were many of them that began to look at each other.

Obviously none of them had expected that they had come to congratulate Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan this time, and that the Contemporary Pavilion Master of the Aqua Sword Pavilion would even make such a suggestion to the two of them.

One must know that establishing a state was definitely considered a very significant matter.

Once it was established, it was as what Hou Dongbai was trying to express before, it was combining their entire Cangnan Domain, in the true sense of the word, rather than uniting it.

All of them present should also, as Hou Dongbai had said, truly and unconditionally take Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan as their honors, without any disobedience.

If the previous Cangnan Alliance was still just a relatively somewhat loose organization, then once the State Establishment was established, then their entire Cangnan Domain would truly form a complete and unified territory.

When outsiders talk about it, it will no longer be an alliance or something like that, but so-and-so state, so-and-so country.

Just like the current Yu State, Kang State, and Hai State.

Moreover, for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, and even their entire Jiang family, there was another benefit to establishing a state that they simply couldn’t ignore.

That was Qi Luck.

Integrating the originally loosely organized Cangnan Domain into one, this move would definitely be able to gather in a large amount of humane qi.

In the future, as long as the integrated Cangnan Domain developed better and became more populous and prosperous, the more abundant the Qi Luck that Jiang Chengxuan and the others would be able to gather from it would be.

This was something that any cultivator who hoped to live a long life and ascend could not possibly ignore.

It was even more impossible to give it up.

In other words, this matter was actually impossible to change the moment Hou Dongbai brought it up.

Or rather, it was determined.

It was not even an exaggeration to say that even if Hou Dongbai did not bring it up today, in the future, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who had already attained the status of YuanYing, would certainly not allow the current status quo to continue.

They, for sure, were also going to build a state and establish a country.

The only difference, is that this “from the dragon’s merit”, by him Hou Dongbai to put forward only.

At this moment, the gazes of many of the cultivators present looking at Hou Dongbai could not help but add a few more points of envy and jealousy.

Why was it him, and not himself, who had just said those words?
It was really a “damnable” ah.
