Chapter 622: Jiang Anran’s Life and Death Crisis

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness.

Since when did their human race need the demon race to achieve “peace”?

However, looking at the current situation, it seems that this is their only way out.

After leaving the Hidden Sword Palace, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan visited the Purple Sun Palace, Everlasting Palace, and Black Sea Pavilion in succession.

From the mouths of several Heavenly Lords, both of them received the same answer.

This further emphasized to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan the importance of their own strength.

Sure enough.

With their current strength at Nascent Soul, they could be said to be unmatched.

But on the level of Soul Formation, they were far from enough.

If the opponents sent two Soul Formation Heavenly Lords, or if Heavenly Lord who came was above third level, they would be in big trouble.

!!..

At that point, not only defeating the opponent would be difficult, but even escaping would become extremely hard.

So.

Their top priority was to quickly enhance their cultivation and strength.

Without lingering outside, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan returned to Mount Mystic Tai and entered seclusion.

Especially Shen Ruyan.

She was on the verge of Soul Formation.

She intended to break through this bottleneck during this seclusion.

Although Jiang Chengxuan had not yet reached the bottleneck of Soul Formation, it wasn’t impossible for him to touch this threshold during the seclusion.

Time pa.s.sed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, four years had pa.s.sed.

Meanwhile, on the Sky Plains, Jiang Anran, armed with a single sword, fought against five ninth level Golden Core cultivators alone.

Not only did she defeat them all, but she also successfully s.n.a.t.c.hed a strand of Origin Qi from them.

With this Origin Qi, she could attempt to form her Nascent Soul directly upon returning.

It seemed that forming a Heaven Nascent Soul wouldn’t be difficult.

However, it was strange that this time, the Heaven and Earth connection only produced a single strand of Origin Qi.

Moreover, there were rumors that the chances of producing Origin Qi would decrease over time.

She wondered if there was some hidden reason behind this.

Upon returning, she planned to inform her s.h.i.+fu about this to see if they had any insights.

With these thoughts in her mind, Jiang Anran didn’t stay long on the Sky Plains and quickly left for the State of Jiang.

Swoosh, swoosh—

Light flashed.

As Jiang Anran was flying rapidly through the sky, a sudden and immense sense of crisis appeared in her heart, casting a shadow over her clear and bright divine sense.

Not good!

Jiang Anran’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

She knew that such a crisis was beyond her ability to resist.

If she wasn’t careful, she might fall here today.

Swoos.h.!.+

Without any hesitation, Jiang Anran immediately tore a Level 5 talisman.

Subsequently, her figure flashed repeatedly, and she tore several more Level 5 talismans.

These talismans could be activated without the need for Dharmic power.

The cultivator just needed to tear them to unleash their effects.

In an instant, several halos appeared around Jiang Anran.

Layers of Level 5 protective spells enveloped her, layer upon layer, like clothing.

However, even so, the shadow in Jiang Anran’s heart did not dissipate. It was still like a maggot in her bones, chipping her away bit by bit.

No, if this continues, I won’t be able to escape the crisis.

A trace of determination flashed across Jiang Anran’s eyes.

Her index and middle fingers were put together as she pointed at the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows.

Buzz!

In that instant, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared on her body, and Jiang Anran disappeared from the spot.

“What?”

Only then, from somewhere in the void, a light exclamation was heard.

But in the next moment, Jiang Anran, who had just disappeared, reappeared in another part of the void, looking very disheveled.

With a series of crackling sounds, the layers of protection on her body shattered like paper.

Jiang Anran’s body shook violently.

She couldn’t hold back anymore and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Her aura rapidly weakened.

Only at this moment did she clearly see the figure in a hooded cloak that had appeared in front of her at some unknown time.

The person’s face was completely hidden under the hood, impenetrable to both eyes and divine sense.

“Who are you? Why attack me without cause?”

Jiang Anran asked the hooded man coldly, suppressing the weakness in her body.

“Do you know who I am? Aren’t you afraid that my s.h.i.+fu, Jiang Chengxuan, will come after you for this?”

“Hehe, if he can come, I would welcome him,” the hooded man replied, his voice accompanied by no further hesitation.

In midair, a dark light descended.

The speed of the dark light was so fast that Jiang Anran had no time to react.

There was a bang.

Jiang Anran’s body was completely engulfed by the dark light.

Following that, there was no longer any aura that belonged to Jiang Anran.

However, the man in the hood did not show any joy of success on his face. Instead, he frowned deeply.

“Not bad for someone who can face a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord. The trump card Jiang Chengxuan left on his disciple exceeded my expectations.” Buzz!

In some part of the void, tens of thousands of miles away.

s.p.a.ce suddenly ripped open out of nowhere.

Immediately after, Jiang Anran, appearing somewhat disheveled, tumbled out from it.

Just at that moment, as the dark light hit her, a jade pendant she was carrying was suddenly activated with full force.

In just an instant, it whisked her away from the scene.

This method, involving spatial teleportation, was not something a mere Level 5 talisman could accomplish.

It was, in fact, the renowned Great Teleportation Talisman.

Even Jiang Chengxuan himself did not possess a third one.

As his disciple, Jiang Anran could never have imagined that the jade pendant Jiang Chengxuan insisted she always carry would have such powerful teleportation abilities, truly saving her from a deadly peril.

Without daring to stay any longer in that place, Jiang Anran quickly found a direction and hurried back towards the State of Jiang at high speed.

A month later.

When Jiang Anran returned to Mount Mystic Tai with injuries all over her body, it immediately caused a stir among everyone.

No one expected that after her trip, she would return in such a battered state.

One could imagine what Jiang Anran had experienced before this.

“Who? Who is it? How did you end up like this?”

After the initial shock, everyone was outraged.

Everyone knew that Jiang Anran was the only direct disciple of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, and she was highly valued by them.

If it wasn’t for seeking a Heaven Nascent Soul, she would have been confident in forming her Nascent Soul decades ago.

Didn’t the a.s.sailant know who Jiang Anran’s s.h.i.+fu was?

While everyone was angry, a person was seen approaching from a distance.

Seeing that person, everyone’s expressions could not help but turn solemn. They hurriedly bowed and said,

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

“Mhm, rise. I am already aware of this matter and will handle it later.”

It was Jiang Chengxuan.

He then turned to Jiang Anran and said, “Anran, come with me to Xuanming Peak.

Your s.h.i.+fu Shen is in a critical period of her seclusion; let’s not disturb her.

I will seek justice for you.”

There was not much emotion in Jiang Chengxuan’s words. Yet precisely because of this, everyone present instinctively held their breath.

They knew that Jiang Chengxuan in this state was the most scary.

On the surface, he appeared calm, but deep in his heart, a storm of anger was brewing.

Any slight provocation might invite his thunderous wrath.

Soon.

Jiang Chengxuan took Jiang Anran back to Xuanming Peak.

After returning, instead of immediately inquiring about her experiences, he first allowed her to heal her wounds.

Based on Jiang Anran’s injuries, although her fundamental strength was not damaged, the injuries were definitely not light.

If not treated in time, it could lead to future complications.

Half a month later.

When Jiang Anran’s condition had stabilized, Jiang Chengxuan finally asked her about the events.

As for Jiang Anran, she naturally wouldn’t hide anything. She immediately told Jiang Chengxuan about her trip to the Sky Plains and the sudden attack.

Jiang Chengxuan, upon hearing this, instinctively felt that there might be more to the incident than meets the eye.

There seemed to be a situation that he and even the Soul Formation Heavenly Lords did not know.

Originally, he had planned to use the Deduction Bead to deduce the subsequent content of the Five Elements True Technique.

However, now it seemed that completing the Heavenly Calculation Technique was the most pressing task.

Firstly, he could use this to deduce some secrets hidden in this matter.

Secondly, he could also use this technique to deduce the subsequent content of the Five Elements True Technique.

Although it might not be as effective as directly using the Deduction Bead, completing the first half of the Soul Formation chapter of the Five Elements True Technique with the completed Heavenly Calculation Technique should not be too difficult.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan no longer hesitated. He immediately chose to use the Deduction Bead to deduce the subsequent content of the Heavenly Calculation Technique.

[Ding.]

However, at this moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[System mission issued. Host, please complete 500 deductions.]

Huh?

500 deductions?

Why was the number not following the usual pattern?

However, it seemed like a blessing in disguise.

By completing this task, the subsequent rewards from the system were likely to be significant.

Slowly.

The content of the continuation of the Heavenly Calculation Technique began to emerge in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.

He immediately started comparing this new information with what he already knew.

In a short time, a series of enlightenments dawned on him..
