Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, both Jiang Chengxuan and Jiang Renyi recognized that the phenomenon appearing above the massive spirit stone mine was an indication that it was a ruin.
It was beyond their wildest dreams that such a second “surprise” awaited them so close to Mount Mystic Tai, following the discovery of the massive spirit stone mine.
Given the scale of the commotion, they knew that the size of this ruin was definitely not small and might even be a ruin surpassing the Soul Formation level.
If that was true, the Jiang family might be facing a real challenge this time…
Jiang Renyi looked anxiously at Jiang Chengxuan.
The excitement and thrill he had felt upon discovering the massive spirit stone mine were gone, replaced by unease and fear.
He was well aware that the combination of such a ruin and a massive spirit stone mine would likely bring disaster, not opportunity, to the Jiang family. “What should we do now, Granduncle?” he asked.
At this point, everyone in the Jiang family, as well as the whole state of Jiang and its surrounding states, must have noticed the anomaly.
Jiang Chengxuan knew that it wouldn’t be long before countless people would flock to their location.
“Go and prepare everyone. Activate all of our family’s major arrays at full strength,” Jiang Chengxuan instructed firmly.
“Also, inform Elder Tang, Anran, and our friends from Jade Water Sword Pavilion to seal off all the key routes around here.
Without my command, no one is allowed in.
If anyone dares to defy this… they will be killed without mercy!”
Jiang Chengxuan was aware that he needed to adopt a tough stance at this time.
If they really allowed everyone to approach the ruin or even their state of Jiang.
That way, not only would the scene become chaotic, but it would also bring a loss of order.
Most likely, it would affect Shen Ruyan’s seclusion.
Hmph!
At this moment, Shen Ruyan’s Human Tribulation had actually already begun.
So.
Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t allow any situation beyond his control to arise during this critical period.
Once there was, he would disregard everything and nip it in the bud.
Jiang Renyi, understanding the gravity of the situation.
Therefore, after receiving Jiang Chengxuan’s instructions, he did not dare to be negligent at all. After agreeing, he quickly disappeared from Xuanming Peak.
Looking in the direction where Jiang Renyi had disappeared, Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze suddenly became abnormally deep.
Let me see what kind of monster will jump out this time.
As he pondered, he had already summoned the Spirit Devouring Beetle King and the earth dragon, the two extraordinary creatures he had acquired in the Sunset Secret Realm.
He said to the beetle and the dragon, “From now on, no one except me is allowed to enter this Xuanming Peak.
You have to make sure my wife is not disturbed.
Do you understand?”
ROAR!
Squeak, squeak, squeak…
The Spirit Devouring Beetle King and the earth dragon immediately responded.
Rustle-
Under the command of the Spirit-Devouring Beetle King, countless beetles swarmed like a sandstorm, covering every area of Xuanming Peak.
The Primordial Earth Dragon positioned itself at the entrance of Shen Ruyan’s cave abode, its eyes wide and tail raised, ready for any threat.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan nodded in approval.
He then vanished from the peak without hesitation; there was much he needed to do.
Firstly, he had to contact various parties, especially Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang from Hidden Sword Palace.
In the current situation, Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang was undoubtedly the most trustworthy person he could find.
Secondly, and most importantly, he needed to personally visit the site of the ruin, which was also the location of the massive spirit stone mine.
He needed to see for himself what the situation was and what kind of ruin it was.
BOOM!
The light was like a dragon streaking across the sky.
In just the blink of an eye, Jiang Chengxuan appeared above the massive spirit stone mine.
He could clearly see that not far from him, a grand entrance was slowly opening.
From inside, a vast and distant aura assaulted his face.
Jiang Chengxuan’s expression was solemn.
He observed the entrance carefully, not rushing to enter.
Everyone knew that newly discovered ruins could hold unimaginable fortunes but also potentially great dangers.
Rushing in could lead to unexpected and possibly catastrophic consequences.
Right now, his priority was not to explore the ruin but to block anyone attempting to claim it for themselves.
Hmph!
There are really bold people who are not afraid of death.
Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.
He suddenly turned to the right, looking in a direction about ten miles away.
There, a few Golden Core cultivators rushed towards the entrance of the ruin with fervent expressions.
Shriek—
However, at this moment,a swift and domineering streak of sword light flashed by, and in an instant, the bodies of those Golden Core cultivators exploded, struck down by Jiang Chengxuan.
At that moment, those observing from the shadows couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Those who, like the Golden Core cultivators, had recklessly planned to rush toward the ruin, were jolted back to reality by Jiang Chengxuan’s decisive action.
They were immediately soaked in cold sweat from fear.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Chengxuan’s cold voice slowly sounded.
Everyone, within three thousand miles here is the territory of my Jiang family.
I am giving you a chance now to leave our territory immediately.
Within ten breaths, anyone not belonging to the Jiang family who remains will be killed without mercy.”
His words sent a chill through the hearts of all the cultivators still lurking in the shadows.
Remembering Jiang Chengxuan’s ruthless and decisive actions just moments ago, many of them immediately decided to retreat.
They knew Jiang Chengxuan was not someone they could afford to provoke, being the ruler of this state.
Provoking his anger could bring calamity not just to them but also to their backing powers.
In an instant, many cultivators chose to leave, with numerous streaks of light fleeing into the distance.
However, there was also a small number of people who still wouldn’t give up.
Jiang Chengxuan did not know what these people were thinking.
Did they really think that he would not dare to start a massacre?
The moment he counted down to ten.
The sky suddenly filled with countless sword lights, each carrying an intense killing intent.
There was a series of pops as those who had not left, or who had chosen not to leave, were pierced by the sword lights.
Blood blossomed in the air, and those who had gambled on their luck met their ends with eyes wide open in disbelief.
They couldn’t fathom that Jiang Chengxuan would actually carry out his threat.
One had to know that among these people were many from various Nascent Soul sects.
By acting so ruthlessly, Jiang Chengxuan had offended them all.
Even with his formidable strength, this move was somewhat extreme.
Meanwhile, those who had heeded the warning and left in time felt a sense of relief.
Indeed.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan was not showing any mercy.
Anyone who defied his orders was left behind forever.
Unconcerned with the reactions of others, Jiang Chengxuan, after dealing with those who defied him, turned his attention back to the ruin.
However, some time passed.
Jiang Chengxuan did not see anything special from the entrance of the ruin in front of him.
It seemed that if he wanted to truly understand this ruin, he could only know after entering it personally.
However, if he went in at this time, the risk was too great.
What if he was trapped inside?
If that happened, something that he did not want to see might happen to the Jiang family or even the entire state of Jiang.
Boom!
Suddenly, intense rumblings erupted at several key routes in the state of Jiang.
The clash of Nascent Soul-level powers stirred up the spiritual Qi within hundreds of miles, creating chaos.
Jiang Chengxuan realized that this was likely the result of Nascent Soul cultivators from outside the state of Jiang attempting to enter and being stopped by Jiang Anran, Tang Baisheng, and others.
While Jiang Anran and the others could handle a few Nascent Soul cultivators trying to infiltrate, they would struggle if the numbers increased significantly.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression grew colder.
Just as he was considering making an example of some Nascent Soul cultivators to deter others, an immense and majestic aura suddenly surged from the direction of Shen Ruyan’s cave above on Mount Mystic Tai.
The aura was like thunder, divine might, bright moon, and fierce sun, instilling awe in everyone who felt it.
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed sharply.
Shen Ruyan had officially started her breakthrough to Soul Formation!!!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
At this moment, all the spiritual Qi within a thousand miles began rapidly converging towards Shen Ruyan’s cave abode.
The sky displayed various phenomena: dense clouds, flashing lightning, and torrential rain.
This was the phenomenon that cultivators triggered when they made their attempts to Soul Formation..
