Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This is a currency commonly used among Soul Formation Heavenly Lords.
Unlike the low, mid, and top-grade spiritual stones, the supreme-grade spiritual stones not only contain a large amount of pure spiritual energy but also have the effect of helping with breakthroughs.
That is, a Nascent Soul cultivator, if fortunate enough to obtain a supreme-grade spiritual stone, can use it to break through a critical bottleneck in their cultivation.
Furthermore, unlike low, mid, or top-grade spiritual stones, which turn to dust once their spiritual energy is depleted, the structure of supreme-grade spiritual stones is incredibly stable.
Even if their spiritual Qi is completely exhausted, the stone itself remains undamaged.
In fact, if placed in a mid-grade or higher mine, over hundreds of years, these depleted supreme-grade spiritual stones might even be recharged with spiritual Qi.
In other words, supreme-grade spiritual stones are not one-time-use but can be recharged and reused.
Besides these spiritual stones, the storage treasures contained many Dharma treasures and true treasures.
However, these items were of no use to Jiang Chengxuan and his companions.
They planned to melt down these demonic treasures and extract useful materials for redistribution when they had time.
Next, they found some pills and jade slips containing cultivation techniques.
These too were of no practical use to them, except for a few untainted spiritual items which were somewhat useful.
After Jiang Chengxuan and the others had divided the contents of the storage treasures, they did not lower their guard.
They knew that following Tian Luo and his companions, there were two more grand demonic cultivators.
However, days passed without any sign of the fleeing Blood River and Dry Bone.
Even after several months, there was still no trace of them, leading Jiang Chengxuan and his companions to suspect that these two had chosen to retreat upon learning of the battle situation.
This was a likely scenario, as nothing is more important to a demonic cultivator than their own life.
Even if they felt that they already had a certain trump card.
However, before they had absolute confidence, they would not choose to take the risk.
And that was the truth.
Upon learning of the fall of Tian Luo and his companions, Blood River and Dry Bone immediately retreated.
Even though they had borrowed the Slaying Wheel from Demon Illusionist, they chose not to engage Jiang Chengxuan and the others lightly but went to other areas to join forces with other demonic cultivators and attack weaker arrays.
On this side.
As time passed, Jiang Chengxuan and his companions could almost be certain that Blood River and Dry Bone would no longer come to their area.
However, despite this, they knew they couldn’t just stay put and do nothing.
Through various channels, they had learned that other array eyes had been breached, which was a very serious matter.
Although the breach of a few or even dozens of small array eyes would not have a substantial impact on the overall Nine Heavens Star River Array in the short term, as more array eyes were broken, an avalanche effect could accumulate.
When that time came, even the intervention of Soul Formation Heavenly Lords might not be able to reverse the disadvantage.
So.
If possible, it was best to preserve the existing and important array eyes now and eliminate as many enemies as possible.
However, before that, Jiang Chengxuan had another task to undertake.
That was to use the supreme-grade spiritual stone he had obtained this time to break through.
Shen Ruyan, the two South Sea Immortals, and Perfected Lord Vast River had no objections.
Time flew, and half a year passed.
On this day.
Shen Ruyan, Dugu Baifei, Situ Xiang, and Perfected Lord Vast River were discussing something seriously.
At that moment, they suddenly felt an extremely powerful aura emanating from the place where Jiang Chengxuan was temporarily in seclusion.
An overwhelming presence that made Dugu Baifei, Situ Xiang, and Perfected Lord Vast River feel extremely oppressed appeared in their hearts.
“Could that be … ?”
Dugu Baifei, Perfected Lord Vast River and the others immediately turned around.
They saw a somewhat blurred figure gradually becoming clear. Who else could it be but Jiang Chengxuan, who had gone into seclusion for a breakthrough in cultivation?
“Fellow Daoist Jiang…”
Their expressions immediately brightened upon seeing Jiang Chengxuan approaching them.
Jiang Chengxuan slowly walked up to them.
He first nodded with a smile at Shen Ruyan, then turned to Dugu Baifei and the others, saying, “My friends, thank you for protecting me during this time. Fortunately, I have not disappointed you; this seclusion has indeed led to a new breakthrough.”
“Really?”
Joy appeared on the faces of Dugu Baifei and the others.
They were genuinely happy for Jiang Chengxuan.
After all, they were well aware that in the current situation, any increase in their side’s strength was a good thing..
