Chapter 753: Eve of Breakthrough

Hearing that voice, Jiang Chengxuan immediately turned his head to look. He saw the Sect Master of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, Bai Ziliang, looking at him with a cold and menacing gaze.

A terrifying aura emanated from him, pressing down towards Jiang Chengxuan.

“Bai Ziliang, haven’t you learned your lesson from before?

At that moment, Qin Shenwu’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan.

He addressed the Sect Master of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect with a calm voice,

“So what if we killed disciples from your Five Elements Heavenly Sect?

We had all agreed beforehand that once inside the Thousand River Secret Realm, all matters of life and death are left to fate, and no one is to be held accountable afterward.

What? Could it be that only the disciples of your sect are special? Are you going to break this agreement?”

Qin Shenwu’s words put Bai Ziliang in an awkward position, making his face turn exceedingly ugly.

He knew his actions were somewhat untenable, but he felt stifled and angered.

Unable to vent these feelings, he found it hard to let go.

However, facing Qin Shenwu, who stood in front of Jiang Chengxuan, Bai Ziliang’s expression changed several times before he finally snorted coldly, “Haoran Sect, you’d better watch out and not let us find a chance in the future.

He then turned to his disciples and said,

“Let’s go!”

With that, Bai Ziliang summoned his flying ship, leading the Five Elements Heaven Sect’s disciples away.

Seeing this, Qin Shenwu couldn’t help but sneer.

However, since the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley had secured a significant advantage.

He couldn’t be bothered to argue with Bai Ziliang anymore.

He turned to Jiang Chengxuan and the others, smiling, “Let’s go back too.

Soon, both the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley returned to the Haoran

Sect.

It was not an exaggeration to say that they were able to obtain the Samsara Steles and the herbal garden in the Thousand River Secret Realm because of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

So.

As a result, both sects awarded the couple handsomely.

They were granted access to most of the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion and awarded tens of thousands of contribution points.

In the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley, a hundred contribution points could be exchanged for most Soul Formation techniques and divine powers.

Even Void Returning divine powers cost only a few hundred contribution points.

This shows how generous the reward of tens of thousands of contribution points to them was.

With this wealth of contribution points, the couple wouldn’t need to worry about contribution points for the next thousand years.

Cloud Mist Peak.

Half a year had passed since their return to the Haoran Sect.

During this time, Shen Ruyan stayed by Jiang Chengxuan’s side.

However, today her Shifu, Yun Yizhen, sent her a message indicating it was time to return to Thunderclap Valley.

In the coming years, she was to undergo a significant inheritance process in the valley.

Once this inheritance was completed, it would be time for her to attempt a breakthrough to Void Returning.

Jiang Chengxuan was in a similar situation.

With his current foundation, breaking through to Void Returning was expected to happen within a few years.

Shen Ruyan, looking at Jiang Chengxuan, smiled and said,

“Husband, my Shifu has urged me many times.

Unless something unexpected happens, I will be leaving the Haoran Sect today. The next time we meet, it should be when both of us have broken through to Void Returning.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded.

“Not only your Shifu, but my Shifu has also urged me many times.

I hope both of us will successfully break through.”

“Alright, then I’ll be going now.”

Shen Ruyan smiled and embraced Jiang Chengxuan.

Then, she left his cave abode on Cloud Mist Peak, quickly disappearing from his sight.

After some time,

Jiang Chengxuan visited Shenwu Peak.

There, his senior brother, Zhao Tianfan, suddenly appeared in front of him, handing him a storage ring.

“Junior brother Jiang, our Shifu is currently in seclusion.

However, before he went into seclusion, he asked me to give you this storage ring.

It contains many insights on breaking through to Void Returning, as well as some related resources.

Take it.”

“Ok.”

Jiang Chengxuan accepted the storage ring from Zhao Tianfan, smiling and nodding.

“Thank you, Shifu, and thank you, senior brother Zhao, for passing these on to

me.”

“Ah, junior brother Jiang, you’re too polite,” Zhao Tianfan chuckled, shaking his head.

“We’re both disciples of the same Shifu. There’s no need for so much formality.

Remember, breaking through to Void Returning involves facing three tribulations.

Be careful, and only attempt to break through when you’re fully confident after reviewing all the insights.”

“Understood, I will. Thank you for the reminder, senior brother Zhao,”

Jiang Chengxuan responded with a smile of gratitude.

After that, the two of them continued chatting for a while.

Following their conversation, the brothers parted ways, and Jiang Chengxuan returned to his cave abode on Cloud Mist Peak.

Upon his return, he began his seclusion with the sole aim of breaking through to Void Returning.

According to what his Shifu, Qin Shenwu, had previously explained, transitioning from Soul Formation to Void Returning was essentially a process of strengthening the Primordial Spirit.

It involved transforming the Primordial Spirit, which was about the height of a person, into a Dharma Form.

This form had incredible power with every movement, marking the initial stage of Void Returning, known as the Dharma Form stage.

At this point, one only needed to transcend three tribulations to successfully achieve Void Returning, thereby granting them endless lifespan.

In theory, as long as one could continue to overcome the heavenly tribulations that occur every several tens of thousands of years, they could live indefinitely. However, this was just in theory.

If one’s cultivation did not advance, the power of each subsequent heavenly tribulation they face every several tens of thousands of years would increase. Once the power of a heavenly tribulation exceeded that of the second stage of Void Returning, the Celestial Radiance stage, one would not be able to overcome it and would truly die under the tribulation.

Only when a cultivator successfully broke through to the Celestial Radiance stage, integrating every part of their Primordial Spirit with heaven and earth, would they have the ability to overcome tribulations of corresponding power. Furthermore, after this breakthrough, the interval between heavenly tribulations would extend.

If it was once every twenty thousand years during the Dharma Form stage, it might become once every fifty thousand years after breaking through to the Celestial Radiance stage.

Upon reaching the third stage of Void Returning, the Profound Mystery stage, the interval between heavenly tribulations would extend further.

In summary, while it seemed cultivators had limitless lifespans after advancing to Void Returning, there were still significant crises urging them to never cease their cultivation.

If they stopped cultivating, what awaited them was death after several tens of thousands of years.
