Chapter 818: Comprehending Runes, Terrifying Price

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

During this period of time, both Divine Lord Frostblade and Yue Chanjuan had gained a certain understanding of Jiang Chengxuan’s abilities.

Therefore, for the next course of action, they were both keen to hear Jiang Chengxuan’s suggestions.

Jiang Chengxuan did not hold back.

After some rough calculations and combining his passive talent, Intuition of the Heavens, he quickly determined a direction, pointing towards the northeast and said,

“Senior Sister Frostblade and Senior Sister Yue, I think we should check out that place next.”

“Hm?That place?”

Following the direction Jiang Chengxuan pointed, Divine Lord Frostblade and Yue Chanjuan turned to look.

In the northeast, there was a continuous mountain range.

Apparently.

The cave abode they had entered was not much different from a small world.

They nodded in agreement.

“Then let’s head in that direction to have a look. Junior Sister Shen, what do you think?”

Shen Ruyan immediately answered with a smile.

“Of course, I have no objections.”

Thus, Jiang Chengxuan and his group of four sped off towards the northeast direction.

A few days later.

They found themselves atop a large mountain and were astonished to discover that many places on these mountains were inscribed with mysterious runes.

Just by briefly contemplating these runes, Jiang Chengxuan and his team were amazed to find that their understanding of the rules they each cultivated had improved slightly.

“How… How is this possible?”

The few of them couldn’t help but look at each other. They could see the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

They all knew too well what such a miraculous place signified.

To put it not exaggeratedly, based on the gains they had just made.

If they continued to stay here, their comprehension of the rules they cultivated could be infinitely enhanced.

It might even be possible to advance to the point of transforming these rules into a Dao.

And what does transforming rules into a Dao signify?

It represents the threshold for advancing to the Dao Integration Realm.

Once that step is taken, the achievement of the Saint status may not be far off.

With such a powerful temptation, who among them could resist?

Almost instantly, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Divine Lord Frostblade, and Yue Chanjuan all plunged into the state of comprehending the mysterious runes before them.

Three days passed in a blink.

In these three days, their comprehension of the rules they each cultivated had noticeably leaped forward.

Jiang Chengxuan even faintly grasped the essence of the Earth Rule.

However, it was at this moment, while immersed in comprehending the mysterious runes, that Jiang Chengxuan felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

Following this, he felt a cool sensation in his mind.

The next moment, he abruptly withdrew from that state of comprehension.

Yet, what shocked him the most was not the abrupt end of his contemplation, but rather, in the depths of his consciousness, the equivalent of a golden lotus of merit had inexplicably vanished.

“What…?”

Jiang Chengxuan’s expression turned grave in an instant.

He quickly realized the truth.

Comprehending these mysterious runes was probably not as simple as they had thought.

Once surpassing a certain time limit, or rather, as soon as one enters the state of comprehension, a corresponding price must be paid.

And his price was precisely a golden lotus of merit.

“Husband…”

At the same time.

Shen Ruyan, who was beside him, also emerged from her state of comprehension.

Her face bore a trace of shock.

She looked towards Jiang Chengxuan and said, “I just lost a golden lotus of merit out of nowhere.”

“You lost a golden lotus of merit too?”

Jiang Chengxuan’s expression tightened abruptly.

Shen Ruyan was immediately surprised and asked, “What? Husband, did you also expend a golden lotus of merit just now?”

“Yeah.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“I’m afraid this place is not as simple as we thought.

Comprehending it might well come with a certain cost.”

“Then, Senior Sister Frostblade and Senior Sister Yue…”

Shen Ruyan suddenly thought of the two of them and immediately turned her head along with Jiang Chengxuan to look.

At that moment, Divine Lord Frostblade and Yue Chanjuan were still deeply immersed in their own states of enlightenment.

“This isn’t right!”

Jiang Chengxuan suddenly stepped forward, intending to awaken the two.

But as he approached, a shield of light appeared around each of them, directly blocking his path.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expressions changed dramatically.

“Not good!

There’s something wrong with this place; we can’t let them continue comprehending!”

Without further ado, both of them acted immediately.

In an instant, the true essence of the rules each had comprehended suddenly spread out.

Boom, boom, boom!

Loud booms like thunderclaps suddenly erupted on the shields of light surrounding Divine Lord Frostblade and Yue Chanjuan.

This caused Divine Lord Frostblade and Yue Chanjuan, who were immersed in their states of enlightenment, to twitch their eyelids slightly.

But they had not fully awakened yet.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged a glance.

Immediately, the couple struck again.

And this time, the intensity of their attack was clearly on a higher level than before.

The sound of booming was incessant.

The strong fluctuations finally caused Divine Lord Frostblade and Yue Chanjuan, who were in the state of enlightenment, to slowly open their eyes.

And just as they opened their eyes, the shields of light that were originally around them vanished into thin air in an instant.

“Huh…?”

Both of them instantly noticed the residual energy fluctuations around them.

They turned their gaze towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Divine Lord Frostblade said, “Junior Sister Shen, Junior Brother Jiang, what happened?”

Both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan nodded with grave expressions.

“This place, there seems to be some issues.”

“Some issues?”

Divine Lord Frostblade and Yue Chanjuan both were taken aback.

“That’s right.”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not hide anything and shared their suspicions with the two.

In the end, Jiang Chengxuan continued,

“Senior Sister Frostblade, Senior Sister Yue, you should quickly check carefully now to see if there is anything abnormal about yourselves.”

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Divine Lord Frostblade and Yue Chanjuan also sensed something off.

With serious expressions, they immediately began to inspect their own conditions as Jiang Chengxuan had suggested.

But this inspection only served to change their complexions drastically.

“How could this be…?

My Dharmic powers…”
