Chapter 983: The Primordial Fruit and the Cosmic Crystal
Editor: Henyee Translations

“This appears to be the Primordial Fruit!”

Jiang Chengxuan exclaimed, finally recognizing the origin of this fruit.

This fruit, nearly a level 9 spiritual item known as the Primordial Fruit or the Life Origin Fruit, is imbued with abundant vitality and a touch of the creation aura. Consuming it can extend a cultivator’s lifespan and help them avoid calamities.

Moreover, it has another formidable use—it can help Dao Integration cultivators transcend tribulations!

The Primordial Fruit is inherently able to communicate with heaven and earth, influencing all natural beings. Its abundant vitality can even obscure the heavenly secrets, shielding cultivators from tribulations.

Such a treasure is exceedingly rare even in the long history of the Floodgate Realm, making it extraordinarily precious!

Holding the Primordial Fruit in his hand, Jiang Chengxuan instantly felt all his efforts were worthwhile. Having an almost level 9 spiritual item as a reward could understandably lead to life-and-death struggles among masters of the Dao.

If this item appeared in the Floodgate Realm, it would likely trigger a desperate battle among numerous Dao Mastery cultivators. After all, for those above the Void Returning realm, prolonging life to avoid tribulations is of utmost value.

Without a breakthrough, no matter how powerful one is, even if one can fight Mahayana using the power of Dao Mastery, the end of one’s extended lifespan means inevitable destruction by the natural calamities.

Such a near level 9 item as the Primordial Fruit, capable of extending life to avoid tribulations, is naturally extremely attractive to established powers. Perhaps, with this additional lifespan, one could transform decay into magic, defy fate, and step into greatness.

Indeed worthy of being from an immortal cave abode, the first opportunity he encountered was so thrilling, Jiang Chengxuan praised inwardly.

After carefully examining it for a while, Jiang Chengxuan stored the Primordial Fruit and once again initiated the Heavenly Calculation Technique.

In the world he calculated, the sense of danger was still subtle, and the sign indicating the presence of treasures had not diminished much.

This indicated that more treasures, likely of comparable nearly level 9 quality, still existed ahead. Such an opportunity was hard to resist, so Jiang Chengxuan immediately calmed his mind and decided to challenge the meteor formation once again.

He transformed into a five-color light, flying towards the source of the meteors.

As expected, at the distant horizon, another vast sea of fire slowly spread—his all-too-familiar meteor shower, still carrying the might of Dao Integration.

It seemed that the meteor showers of Dao Integration, Dao Fusion, and Dao Mastery were part of a complete cycle, and within the last Dao Mastery meteor shower, there must be a nearly level 9 treasure.

Jiang Chengxuan felt he was gradually understanding the pattern of this place.

The next moment, the Deep Earth Halbert was immediately deployed, creating a series of explosions and fireballs.

This time, it took just a few days for him to clear the first wave of Dao Integration meteors, and then the more terrifying Dao Fusion meteors struck again.

Without any chance to breathe, Jiang Chengxuan transformed the Deep Earth Halbert into the Golden Void Sword, slashing through the void once more.

As before, he manifested the Five Elements Samsara Dao in the meteor shower, wreaking havoc and after seven days, the last batch of Dao Fusion meteors was also annihilated by his sword.

Rumble!

The void vibrated incessantly, and the meteors bearing the might of Dao Mastery finally struck again.

Jiang Chengxuan’s expression turned serious, his mental state instantly adjusted to its peak.

The Five-Color Annihilation Light, the Hand of Samsara, both were ready to be deployed; the world of the Five Elements Samsara propped up a massive canopy once more.

Jiang Chengxuan, displaying his full prowess, let the power of the Dao Mastery manifest unmistakably.

A five-colored long river of annihilating light instantly spanned thousands of miles across the void, fiercely slamming into the approaching Dao Mastery meteor.

In an instant, the void shook, the divine light illuminated the darkness, and the Dao Mastery meteor burst apart, the Five-Color Annihilation Light overwhelmingly powerful.

Yet, Jiang Chengxuan did not relax. His Dharmic power surged out, manifesting the laws to their extreme, silently awaiting the arrival of the next Dao Mastery meteor.

Then, another earth-shattering collision commenced…

A few days later, this void battlefield fell once again into silence.

Standing with his hands behind his back amidst the peaks formed by huge meteor fragments, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes sparkled with insight.

This time, it had taken just a few days to shatter the last wave of Dao Mastery meteors. The dangers involved went without saying, but with his formidable strength, Jiang Chengxuan successfully turned danger into safety, seizing the opportunity.

This second challenge had finally yielded another nearly level 9 treasure from the meteors—a Cosmic Crystal.

This item, like the Primordial Fruit, was formed at the dawn of creation and was also Level 9.

Its function was extremely pure yet overwhelmingly powerful: providing the cosmic energy needed for breakthroughs.

Just a small piece of Cosmic Crystal contained more energy than the crystal mines of an entire world!

It was as if using the power of creation to condense a small world into a Cosmic Crystal—utterly terrifying.

Storing the Cosmic Crystal in his bag, Jiang Chengxuan undoubtedly felt immensely satisfied again.

This immortal cave abode was truly one of the foremost opportunities in the world, where nearly level 9 treasures were seemingly commonplace.

However, the dangers involved were also terrifyingly real.

If it were not Jiang Chengxuan here but another sect’s Dao master, securing even one nearly level 9 treasure would already be their limit.

Moreover, despite obtaining the treasures, how to leave remained a significant challenge.

This place seemed like an endless formation; as long as one ventured forward, meteors would obstruct the path.

While these meteors held opportunities, their number was vast, seemingly endless.

Thus, Jiang Chengxuan calmed his spirit and once again initiated the Heavenly Calculation Technique.

However, this time, the intuition from the Heavenly Calculation Technique told him not to stay any longer.

Otherwise, something truly terrifying might occur.

After breaking through two meteor showers, the Heavenly Calculation Technique finally successfully divined an exit path.

Just three more meteor showers to go, and he could successfully leave this area.

For this, Jiang Chengxuan naturally harbored no reluctance nor resistance.

Having secured two nearly level 9 treasures, he had already reaped significant gains. Moreover, staying further might endanger his life, leaving no room for hesitation.

Opportunity was important, but there was no need to risk life for it, especially when he had already gained enough. It was time to know when to stop.

Greed is often a fatal flaw, a lesson Jiang Chengxuan had long since internalized.
