Chapter 118: Shen Mengxue’s Death
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Time passed slowly.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan stayed in the North Cloud Market for another year.
In this year.
Jiang Chengxuan had already used the five-element body-tempering spiritual item to completely perfect the early-stage Infinite Wheel.
At this moment.
His physical strength was already enough to withstand the attack of a high-grade Level 2 Dharma artifact.
Although he was not completely impervious to the damage, it was impossible to seriously injure or kill him.
At the same time, his resistance to the five-element spells had also increased.
At least among Level 2 spells, there were very few five-element spells that could really threaten him.
Most importantly, after he cultivated Infinite Wheel to early-stage perfection, the mission given to him by the system finally reached 100%.
[Congratulations, host. You have achieved 100 cultivations of a body tempering technique. You have obtained a physical divine power, Dragon Elephant Divine Power.]
[Dragon Elephant Divine Power: Also known as the power of the Heavenly Dragon and Divine Elephant. It has an incomparably terrifying power. Its power will increase as your cultivation increases. You can also cultivate it and comprehend it on your own. When cultivated to a profound level, it has the might to shatter the world with a flick of your finger.]
It was naturally impossible for the current Jiang Chengxuan to have such terrifying power.
However, after obtaining this physical divine power, the Dragon Elephant Divine Power, if his physical strength really erupted at full force, he could already truly threaten a cultivator at the Violet Palace Realm.
Unlike before, he could only use the Fire Meteor Sword Technique for once when facing someone above his realm.
At this moment, with the Breakthrough Bead he had obtained from the system previously, he could already attempt to break through to the Violet Palace Realm.
Furthermore,
With the help of the Breakthrough Bead, he might be able to comprehend some special divine powers that only belonged to him from the process of breaking through.
However, just as he was about to adjust his state and make his very first attempt to break through to the Violet Palace Realm in one go, the communication jade talisman he carried suddenly shook violently.
This immediately shocked him.
He took out the communication jade talisman and took a look.
As he read the content, his expression changed drastically.
Just now, their Ancestor Mengxue passed away in her cave abode.
This news undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to him, Shen Ruyan, and the entire Shen family.
All along.
The greatest backer of the Shen family was actually not Shen Yuanlong, who was at the fourth level of the Violet Palace Realm, but Shen Mengxue, who was the first Violet Palace Realm elder of the Ganyang Sect.
With her around, even if Sheng Yuanlong was gone, the Shen family could still hold their fort in the cultivation world.
With her around, the Shen family and Zheng Pelong were associated in a way.
Now that she had passed away, the Shen family had undoubtedly lost a pillar of support.
The blow was heavy.
Especially when the family head, Shen Daoming, had yet to come out of seclusion and the ancestor, Shen Yuanlong, was facing the end of his life, the entire Shen family could be said to have reached the most difficult and even dangerous period.
It was quite possible for others to take advantage of them while they were down.
I have to go back early.
This thought flashed across Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.
He had already walked out of his cultivation room.
Outside, Jiang Chengxuan saw the door of Shen Ruyan’s cultivation room open.
At this moment, there was also a look of solemnity on her face.
Upon seeing Jiang Chengxuan, she immediately said,
“Husband, you should have received the news from the family as well, right?
It seems like we need to go back early.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
“Ancestor Mengxue passed away, and Brother Daoming hasn’t come out of seclusion. We really can’t stay here anymore.
By the way…”
Jiang Chengxuan suddenly thought of something and asked,
“How’s the cultivation of your divine power, the Purple Lightning Flame Saber? Did you succeed?”
At the mention of this, a faint smile appeared on Shen Ruyan’s face. She said with a nod,
“Three days ago, 1 successfully cultivated this divine power. With our strength combined, even if we encounter a mid-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivator now, we have the chance of winning.”
“Good.”
A smile also appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.
At that moment, he told Shen Ruyan about how he had obtained the physical body divine power, the Dragon Elephant Divine Power.
When Shen Ruyan heard this, she couldn’t hide the joy on her face.
“I really didn’t expect you to be able to obtain a physical divine power at the Foundation Establishment Realm. This is really unbelievable.
In that case, we should be able to leave the North Cloud Market without a hitch.”
Actually, the couple knew very well that the enemies they made on this trip wouldn’t let them leave so easily.
Especially Yao Jiangtian.
The two of them had killed his most beloved great-grandson.
At that time, with Huang Wenyu around, he did not dare to make a move.
Now that Huang Wenyu was not around, if the two of them really left the North Cloud Market, he might attack them at any time.
And Chu Baqiang.
With his desire for the Empty Sky Stone at that time and his notorious character, he would probably be ambushing the two of them somewhere on their way back.
Especially when he knew that the two of them might have a lot of wealth.
At this moment.
The couple had already left the cave abode they had rented for the past year.
At this moment, in a restaurant, Yao Jiangtian, who was paying attention to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s cave abode, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Baqiang, who was drinking opposite him.
“Fellow Doiast Chu, stop drinking. The two of them have come out.”
In fact.
At this moment, Chu Baqiang had also sensed that Jiang Chengxuan and his wife were out of the cave abode.
His eyes narrowed as well.
He said, “Fellow Daoist Yao, we’ve already agreed.
After you and I kill that couple, the Empty Sky Stone on that kid will belong to me. The rest will be divided equally between the two of us.
You won’t go back on your word, right?”
“Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word.”
As soon as Yao Jiangtian said this, his face lit up. He immediately said to Chu Baqiang,
“Fellow Daoist Chu, quick, they’re about to leave the North Cloud Market!”
