Demon Kings. Shen Ruyan Is Preparing to Condense the Nascent Soul and Upgrade Her Spiritual Root (2)

At this point, Shen Ruyan deliberately furrowed her brows.
She said in a calm tone, “Even if it hasn’t harmed anyone, keeping it is still a hidden danger. It’s better to kill it.”
As soon as Shen Ruyan said this, the body of the Golden Ape immediately shivered, and it hurriedly bowed towards the two again, kowtowing rapidly: “Seniors, spare me! Seniors, spare me! I promise, I absolutely won’t have any rebellious thoughts, and I won’t be a threat to you.
“Is that so?”
A half smile appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.
“But we still don’t believe you.
Besides, what’s the point of keeping you?
If we kill it, we can take your core to refine pills and Dharma treasures.
I think what my wife said makes sense. Instead of keeping you, it’s better…
“I’m useful!
I’m useful!”
Before Jiang Chengxuan could finish speaking, the Golden Demon Ape shouted
in fear.
“I can guard the door for you!
I can be a mount!
In short, I’ll do anything. As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything.
I’m willing to open my sea of consciousness and let you impose restrictions on me, making me your servant. Please don’t kill me.”
Towards the end of his plea, the Golden Ape Demon started crying pitifully.
Such a cowardly Demon King was never heard of.
Seeing its reaction, everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other, somewhat
speechless.
This demon king was really…
Frightened to the point of having no dignity.
Jiang Chengxuan said, “In that case, open your sea of consciousness and let me
plant a Primordial Spirit restriction on you.”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, the Golden Ape was not shocked but happy.
It nodded repeatedly.
“Alright, alright, Master. I’ll do it now.”
As soon as it finished speaking, the Golden Ape did not hesitate at all. In front of everyone, it opened its own sea of consciousness.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t hesitate either. He immediately imposed a restriction in its consciousness.
With this restriction, as long as the Golden Ape dared to betray him or have any bad thoughts, Jiang Chengxuan would be able to sense it immediately.
And with just a thought, he could instantly annihilate this Level 4 demon king. In the following time, Jiang Chengxuan and the others didn’t idle. They quickly started arranging the cultivators to besiege the remaining demon beasts. At the same time, they began to send messages to various parties, asking everyone to try to reclaim the lost territories.
Without the presence of the Level 5 Demon Emperor and with the elimination of most of the Level 4 Demon Kings, the demon beast riot was no longer a threat.
After all, for high-level cultivators, the number of low-level demon beasts didn’t have much significance.
That was indeed the case.
About a few months later.
The chaos caused by the demon beasts that swept through the entire Cangnan
Region was completely quelled by Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
After handling all the follow-up matters related to this demon beast not, some more months passed.
On this day.
Jiang Chengxuan was using his Dharmic power to nourish his three intrinsic
Dharma treasures.
The Golden Void Sword, Deep Earth Halberd, and the Yin Yang Divine Water
Jade.
At this moment, Shen Ruyan found him and informed him that she had sensed the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul. She planned to enter seclusion to attempt a breakthrough.
This made Jiang Chengxuan delighted.
He knew that advancing to Nascent Soul was a crucial bottleneck in cultivation. It required sufficient resources, opportunities, and favorable conditions, all of which were indispensable.
Right now, Shen Ruyan had accumulated enough cultivation.
There was no lack of resources.
With the supreme-grade Golden Core she had condensed, as long as she sensed the arrival of the opportunity to condense her Nascent Soul, she was more than 80% confident that she could reach Heaven Nascent Soul without any external help.
Coupled with the Origin Qi, even if she tried to condense the legendary Flawless Nascent Soul, she had more than a 50% chance of success.
The only problem was the condition.
The only problem was the favorable conditions.
They didn’t have a Level 5 spiritual vein.
The best way to nurture a level 5 spiritual vein was to try to nurture a Level 4 spiritual root to level 5.
Coincidentally, the Water Apricot Tree on Mount Mystic Tai had already reached the peak of Level 4-
With the resources accumulated by the Jiang family over the years and the various treasures obtained in this demon beast riot, there was a good chance of successfully cultivating the Water Apricot Tree to Level 5.
[Ding.]
At this moment, a system notification suddenly sounded in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.
[An achievement mission has been issued. Host, please complete cultivating the spiritual root a thousand times.]
Jiang Chengxuan could almost envision that after completing this achievement mission, the Water Apricot Tree on Mount Mystic Tai would smoothly advance to Level 5.
Jiang Chengxuan said to Shen Ruyan,
“Ruyan, since you have already sensed the breakthrough opportunity, don’t waste this chance. Go into seclusion. During this period, I will certainly elevate our family’s spiritual vein to Level 5.”
Although she didn’t know why her husband had such confidence, Shen Ruyan had always trusted Jiang Chengxuan unconditionally. She smiled and nodded, saying, “Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, Husband.”
After saying that, Shen Ruyan didn’t hesitate any longer and went to her own cave abode to begin seclusion, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
At the same time, Jiang Chengxuan gathered a large number of spiritual materials from the family and various places. He went to the back mountain, where the Water Apricot Tree was planted, and started cultivating the spiritual root in his own way.
Days passed like this.
When Jiang Chengxuan completed cultivating the Water Apricot Tree, three years passed.
At this moment, the system notification sounded in his mind again. [Congratulations, host. You have achieved cultivating the spiritual root a thousand times. You have obtained a wisp of Purple Qi and a Heaven and Earth Lightning Seed.]
The wisp of Purple Qi was used to advance the grade of spiritual root.
However, the Heaven and Earth Lightning Seed was quite interesting. According to the system’s description, this could be used to absorb lightning tribulation.
The stronger the lightning tribulation absorbed at once, the higher the grade of the spiritual root the seed would grow into.
That’s right.
This was a seed of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.
However, its planting method was rather special.
If you wanted to plant it, you had to bathe in the lightning tribulation.
It would absorb the power of a single tribulation lightning, thereby unlocking its vitality.
In other words, this seed could also be used as a treasure for ascending tribulations.
Not bad, not bad.
Jiang Chengxuan had already figured out that if nothing unexpected happened, he planned to use this seed during his Nascent Soul tribulation and used it as an opportunity to unlock its vitality.
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan did not waste any time.
Looking at the Water Apricot Tree in front of him, Jiang Chengxuan did not hesitate anymore. He immediately took out the wisp of Purple Qi and used it on the Water Apricot Tree.
Buzz!
After receiving the wisp of Purple Qi, the Water Apricot Tree, which was stuck at the peak of Level 4, immediately broke through the level restriction.
In an instant, endless azure light burst forth from the Water Apricot Tree.
Rustle—
The branches swayed.
The entire tree suddenly exuded extremely vigorous vitality.
In just a moment, the Water Apricot Tree leaped from the peak of Level 4 to Level 5-
