Chapter 45: Third Level of the Foundation Establishment Realm

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This Dharma artifact was called the Green Wood Heavenly Light Shield.

It was refined from Level 2 precious materials, the Armored Wood Crystal and the True Wood Jade.

It contained many defensive array runes.

When being attacked, this shield would automatically release a layer of green light. It could be used to block the attack from one angle or from all angles.

However, when using this shield to defend from all angles, its defense would be greatly weakened.

Even so, it was still a rare defensive Dharma artifact.

Compared to Jiang Chengxuan’s Purple Gold Spirit Shield, it was countless times stronger.

…..

After that, Jiang Chengxuan spent another 3,500 Spirit Stones to buy a mid-grade Level 2 Dharma artifact called the Shadow Splitting Light Blade.

The main function of this Dharma artifact was to sneak attack.

It was particularly useful in breaking protective spells and had an extremely powerful stealth ability. It was very difficult for the enemy to detect it.

In the end, Jiang Chengxuan spent thousands of spirit stones to buy a large pile of talisman-making materials.

Coupled with the talisman-making materials he had obtained from the storage bags of many demonic cultivators, they were already enough for him to make nearly a hundred low-grade Level 2 talismans.

Or even more.

At that time, even if he could not defeat his opponent in terms of strength, he could use these talismans to take down the opponent.

When Jiang Chengxuan had exchanged what he wanted, he stopped lingering outside.

After bidding farewell to Shen Ruyan, he returned to his cave abode.

He took out the Level 2 Invisibility Disk he had obtained from the spoils from his storage bag.

After Jiang Chengxuan refined it, he placed it outside his cave abode.

After doing this, Jiang Chengxuan began to think about what he was going to do next.

The first was naturally cultivation.

With the bottle of Earth Essence Pills that Shen Mengxue had given him previously, it should not be a problem for Jiang Chengxuan to raise his cultivation to the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The only thing he needed to consider was whether he could break through to the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, which was also called the mid-stage, before the demon beast riot broke out.

Next was to refine the Dharma artifacts he had obtained.

The most important one was the high-grade Level 2 flying sword that the Shen family’s ancestor, Shen Yuanlong, had given him.

It was called the Void Dragon Sword with the element of metal.

There was a pattern of a flood dragon engraved on it.

Its strength was its speed and sharpness. It could cut through all tangible and intangible things in an instant.

As of now, It was considered Jiang Chengxuan’s greatest trump card.

Once it was taken out, even cultivators at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm would be awed.

Then, it was the Green Wood Heavenly Light Shield and the Shadow Light Splitting Blade.

The former was his protective item and was very important. The latter could assist him in time of dire need during a tough battle, which was also quite important.

Apart from refining these three Level 2 Dharma artifacts, Jiang Chengxuan also needed to cultivate the two Level 2 spells he had exchanged from the Shen Immortal Family’s Sutra Depository.

One was the Sea Burning Flame Explosion, and the other was the Tortoiseshell Earth Spirit Shield.

They were all things that could strengthen his foundation.

And lastly, he needed to make Level 2 talismans.

Needless to say, the first one to make was the golden-armored puppet talisman rewarded by the system.

With the three Extreme Yellow Jades and four bottles of Heavenly Spiritual Dew in his hands, Jiang Chengxuan could almost make three Golden Armor Puppet Talismans.

Three Golden Armor Puppet Talismans meant three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Although the puppet could only last for ten minutes, if it was used well, it would definitely be a rather powerful trump card.

And that was because at the critical moment, the puppet could self-destruct.

If the opponent was not prepared, even a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator might be seriously injured or even die.

In addition to making this golden-armored puppet talisman, Jiang Chengxuan also wanted to try making mid-grade Level 2 talismans.

Among them, the most useful was a talisman called the Binding Talisman. It could bind the enemy and temporarily immobilize them.

If it was used well, it could definitely catch the opponent off guard.

However, if he wanted to make such a talisman, Jiang Chengxuan had to raise his talisman-making cultivation to the mid-grade Level 2.

All in all, Jiang Chengxuan had a lot to do next.

Jiang Chengxuan estimated that it would take at least eight to ten years to complete all the things above.

On the other side, Shen Daoming was sumoned to Huawu Peak again by Ancestor Shen Yuanlong.

At this moment, Shen Yuanlong was sitting at a stone table.

When he saw Shen Daoming coming over, he immediately nodded at him.

“I already know what happened. I called you over this time to ask you something, what do you think about betrothing your sister, Shen Ruyan, to Jiang Chengxuan?”

“What?”

Hearing his ancestor’s words, Shen Daoming was shocked.

He did not expect his ancestor to call him here to tell him about this.

“Why? Is there a problem?”

“Ancestor, isn’t this decision too abrupt?”

After a pause, Shen Daoming hurriedly continued,

“Also, I have a question. You and Ancestor Mengxue seem to value Elder Jiang very much. Can you tell me why?”

However, Shen Yuanlong shook his head.

“It’s a heavenly secret. Ancestor Mengxue has already lost a lot of her lifespan to peek at the secret. If I tell you, she will probably suffer a second blow.”

At this point, Shen Yuanlong couldn’t help but look at Shen Daoming and say,

“I think with your understanding of Elder Jiang, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to guess why.”

These words made Shen Daoming’s heart skip a beat.

He found it unbelievable, but he knew very well that his two ancestors would never joke about such a thing.

He immediately nodded and said, “Ancestor, I have no objections to this matter. I just don’t know if my sister and Elder Jiang will agree to it.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

A smile appeared on Shen Yuanlong’s face.

“At that time, you just have to bring them to me.”

• •

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, it was already three years later.

At this moment, a surging aura suddenly rose in Jiang Chengxuan’s cave abode.

Jiang Chengxuan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and smiled.

He had finally reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

After more than three years of continuous cultivation, coupled with the bottle of Earth Essence Pills that Shen Mengxue had given him, Jiang Chengxuan finally broke through from the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the third level..
