Chapter 649: A Hundred Years of Seclusion

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

[Congratulations, host. You have successfully refined five five elemental intrinsic Dharma treasures. You have obtained the Five Treasures Fusion Technique and the refinement method of the Universe Five Elements Diagram.]

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected that refining five elemental intrinsic Dharma treasures would bring such a delightful surprise.

According to the system, the Five Treasures Fusion Technique was specifically created to craft the Universe Five Elements Diagram.

This Diagram was a unique artifact that combined five different elemental properties: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

To forge this extraordinary treasure, one must use the Eastern Green Dragon Flag, Golden Void Sword, Eternal Scorching Sun Furnace, Deep Earth Halberd, and Yin-Yang Divine Water Jade as materials, merging them into one to finally create the Universe Five Elements Diagram.

Upon its completion, this artifact would automatically reach the level of a Spiritual Treasure.

Moreover, it possessed the ability to transform.

It could revert to any of its original forms, such as the Deep Earth Halberd or the Eastern Green Dragon Flag.

Most importantly, once crafted in this manner, it would truly qualify as an Immortal Treasure.

In other words, it could be a treasure that could truly accompany Jiang Chengxuan on his journey ahead.

Moreover, its power would surpass all spiritual treasures, second only to the Heaven-connecting Spiritual Treasures.

To Jiang Chengxuan, this was definitely great news.

It was an opportunity for him to truly possess his own spiritual treasure.

After all, possessing such artifacts was unheard of, given their rarity and value.

Spiritual treasures were simply too rare and precious.

Each Spiritual Treasure was unique, with its distinct characteristics, impossible to replicate.

Not to mention Soul Formation cultivators like them, even the Void Returning Divine Lords of the upper world might not have a treasure like a Spiritual Treasure.

Thinking this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately reviewed the entire content of the Five Treasures Fusion Technique.

After reading it, Jiang Chengxuan immediately had many plans.

Sure enough.

It was indeed not easy to refine the Spiritual Treasure, Universe Five Elements Diagram.

Although he already had the foundation to refine this Spiritual Treasure,

However, there were a few prerequisites.

First of all, his five intrinsic Dharma treasures had to all reach Level 6 Pure Yang True Treasure level.

Secondly, and most importantly, he had to awaken their spirituality.

Only by activating its spirituality could a treasure truly be called a Spiritual Treasure.

Right now, what he needed to consider the most was still to think of a way to raise the other three Intrinsic True Treasures to Level 6 before he could truly start considering the fusion of the five treasures.

However, such a task could not be completed in a short period of time.

The most important thing now was to think of a way to increase his body tempering cultivation.

He wanted to see if he could use this opportunity to raise his body tempering cultivation to Level 6.

If he could, his battle prowess might increase once again.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately took out the bottle of Primordial Chaos Heavenly Water from his body.

This water was an extremely rare Level 6 body tempering material.

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan applied the water on his body, he immediately felt its extraordinary effects.

At this moment.

He sensed a rapid transformation in his body – his blood, bones, and meridians seemed to be undergoing a swift change under the influence of a special power.

This transformation intensified significantly when he circulated the Infinite Wheel.

In just a few months, Jiang Chengxuan felt a significant improvement in his physical constitution compared to before.

Continuing at this rate, he pondered that by the time he finished using the entire bottle of water, there was a real possibility of elevating his body tempering cultivation to Level 6.

Drip—drip-

While Jang Chengxuan was rapidly improving his body tempering cultivation, somewhere in the depths of the demon beast forest in the Northern Border.

Droplets of black liquid slowly oozed from a fractured cliffside.

A demon bird, with wings spanning four meters, had just flown over this cliff.

Its previously sharp amber eyes slowly turned as dark as ink.

Threads of visible and invisible black lines extended from the dripping black liquid, swiftly embedding into the bones and flesh of the demon bird.

Instantly, the bird’s body began to grow rapidly.

Pus-like tumors sprouted on its wings, head, and torso.

There was a splash.

Slimy black tentacles emerged under its abdomen, gruesomely twisting and writhing in the air.

Sharp barbs grew on its talons, exuding an aura of brutal ferocity.

With a piercing shriek, the sound was harsh, violent, and eerily sinister.

There was a whoosh.

A patterned python just emerging below was instantly killed, its head crushed by the bird’s sharp, barbed talons.

In a flash, threads of black lines emerged from within the bird and merged into the corpse of the python.

In just a short time, a bizarre transformation occurred.

The patterned python, previously lifeless with a shattered head, abruptly rose up.

Hiss—hiss—

The sound of a venomous snake hissing filled the air.

The python’s previously colorful body was rapidly enveloped by a layer of ink-like darkness.

Its skin under the scales writhed rapidly, forming irregular bulges.

Soon, these bulges turned into disgusting tumors, accompanied by the emergence of numerous black, slimy tentacles from its belly.

The python had completely changed in appearance, its eyes now a sinister and cold, emitting a brutal and icy glow.

In silence, the snake and the demon bird moved towards their next prey.

Back at the cliff, a large pool of black liquid had accumulated on the ground.

This liquid, as if possessing its own consciousness, formed into droplets and shot out in all directions.

Time flew swiftly, and thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day.

Jiang Chengxuan sighed as he looked at the empty bottle of Primordial Chaos Heavenly Water.

He was so close to reaching Level 6 in body refining.

Unfortunately, he had run out of the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Water.

Though he was only a step away from the threshold, it was obviously not so easy to cross it without a body tempering precious item.

It could potentially take hundreds or even a thousand years.

Deciding to look for similar precious items in the future, Jiang Chengxuan realized it had been almost a hundred years since he began his seclusion. It was time for him to emerge.

Thinking so, he stepped out, instantly arriving outside his cave abode.

He wondered if Shen Ruyan had yet to leave her seclusion.

Scanning the area with his divine sense and not detecting her presence, he decided not to disturb her.

Instead, he called upon Jiang Renyi and others to catch up on the events of the past century.

It turned out that the Nine Essences cultivation world had been relatively peaceful during these hundred years, with no major events.

However, the Jiang family had developed rapidly, thanks to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

One of the most noteworthy things was that Jiang Rendao had successfully advanced to Nascent Soul eighteen years ago.

Others in the family also saw significant improvements in their cultivation levels, with the number of Golden Core cultivators in the family increasing by four.

However, Jiang Chengxuan did not know those four people.

He had only heard of their names.

Jiang Chengxuan had no intention of meeting them.

After all, at his current realm,

Ordinary Golden Cores were really not worthy of his attention.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators would not be able to attract his attention unless they had a special identity or something special.

In the end, reaching the realm of Soul Formation had changed his perspective on many things.

“By the way, Granduncle…”

At this moment, Jiang Renyi seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became slightly solemn.

Jiang Chengxuan noticed the change and looked at him intently.

“Is there something special?” he asked.

At that moment, Jiang Renyi felt an indescribable pressure, as if he was carrying an invisible weight, instilling a sense of awe in him.

He thought to himself that his granduncle’s presence seemed to grow more imposing by the day.

Although Jiang Chengxuan’s attitude towards them remained the same, his status as a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord inevitably brought a different kind of pressure.

“There is something I need to report to you, Granduncle.”

Jiang Renyi tried his best to adjust his state and replied in a calm tone,

“A few years ago, there were a few instances where it seemed like the Demon Race was probing us.”

“Hmm? Probing?”

When he suddenly heard this news, Jiang Chengxuan’s originally calm eyes immediately narrowed.

He knew very well that the protection period of the human race was not over yet.

If the demons attacked the human race at this time, even if it was just a probing attack, it would bring unimaginable negative consequences to the demons.

Black Tortoise and the others shouldn’t be so unwise.

There should be something else going on that they did not know.

With that in mind, Jiang Chengxuan said to Jiang Renyi,

“Tell me about it in detail. What exactly happened?”

Jiang Renyi nodded and immediately told Jiang Chengxuan everything he knew..
