Chapter 1047: The New Divine Power, the Void Wheel of Rules

Editor: Henyee Translations

In the Haoran Sect, at the Cloud Mist Peak, time in the cave abode flows indifferently to the changes of seasons outside, with the years passing relentlessly.

It has been a hundred years since Jiang Chengxuan and others returned from the Immortal cave abode and entered seclusion. Throughout these centuries, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan have not left their meditation, but the phenomena of Dao rules at Cloud Mist Peak are continuously manifested, creating a mysterious spectacle.

Sometimes, lights of the Five Elements enshroud the peak, transforming it into a multicolored divine mountain visible from the entire region.

At other times, the peak appears as an ink painting with black and white forces, as if painted by an immortal.

Occasionally, thunderstorms descend from the heavens, with black and white clouds gathering into storms, as if the sky itself might fall…

The phenomena at Cloud Mist Peak are enduring and awe-inspiring, drawing the eyes of the sect members whenever they have leisure time, and they regard it as a magnificent sight.

…

At a certain training platform in the Haoran Sect, disciples are sparring and exchanging insights. The area below the platform buzzes with noise as disciples in Haoran robes watch the fight intently.

Among them, a woman stands out, commanding the Five Elements with divine brilliance – she is Jiang Anran, the disciple of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan. She and her opponent, both manifesting their domains, unleash astonishing power, nearly reaching the level of Dao Fusion.

This is merely a contest among the younger generation of the Haoran Sect, yet it has already reached such levels, reflecting the sect’s development over the years.

In the arena, Jiang Anran dominates her opponent with ease, her domain manifesting various divine powers. Amidst the cheers of numerous admirers, she unleashes a beam of Five Elements light, decisively defeating her opponent with grace and poise.

Her performance elicits cheers from many disciples and praise from the elders, enhancing her reputation immensely.

At that moment, watching Jiang Anran, many naturally remember the legendary figure of the Haoran Sect, Jiang Chengxuan, who has been in seclusion for a hundred years.

Despite his century-long absence, no one has forgotten his presence or his strength, and everyone speculates whether he might advance further this time.

If so, the Haoran Sect might soon boast two Mahayana Daolords, creating a spectacle for all to behold. Everyone in the sect looks forward to this possibility.

Jiang Anran, standing alone on the high platform, gazes towards Cloud Mist Peak, her eyes revealing deep longing.

…

The interest in Jiang Chengxuan’s seclusion is not limited to the Haoran Sect. After numerous dangers and hardships, those who entered the survival passage of the Immortal cave abode have finally returned to the Floodgate Realm.

Leaders of the Pantheon Sect, Infinite Sect, and Divine Shadow Gate, still shaken by their experiences, have returned to their respective sects.

Only then do they learn that Jiang Chengxuan and his group had returned to the Haoran Sect a hundred years ago.

For a moment, many Daolords are stunned, their feelings mixed. They could never have imagined that the collapse of the Immortal cave abode was essentially triggered by Jiang Chengxuan.

“This Haoran Sect master, his luck is truly consistent…” is the only way they can describe Jiang Chengxuan and others’ fortune.

These individuals had entered the survival passage as the cave collapsed and were transported to a remote other realm after a lengthy journey.

As outsiders there, they faced numerous dangers, battling local cultivators and competing for resources to restore their strength while also struggling under the suppression of that realm’s destiny to find a way back.

Thanks to the protection of a peak Daolord and the fortunes they carried from the Immortal cave abode, they managed to return; otherwise, it is likely none would have survived.

Hence, upon hearing that Jiang Chengxuan and his party had returned a century ago, numerous sect leaders felt a sense of injustice in their hearts, lamenting the unfairness of fate.

Particularly, Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost, who had managed to return to the Floodgate Realm, found their cultivation greatly diminished. After repeated devastations, it’s possible they will never recover to their full strength.

This situation has undoubtedly deepened their hatred towards the Haoran Sect to a point of no return.

Yet, upon hearing of Jiang Chengxuan’s century-long seclusion, they can only keep their feelings hidden.

The Daolords of various sects, upon learning of Jiang Chengxuan’s seclusion, immediately understand that the Haoran Sect’s group must have gained significant opportunities within the Immortal cave abode.

It’s very likely that, in the near future, the Haoran Sect will establish itself as the biggest sect in the Floodgate Realm.

Such speculations stir a whirlwind of emotions among many, and they watch the developments regarding Jiang Chengxuan’s seclusion with intense interest.

Meanwhile, back in the Cloud Mist Peak’s cave abode, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan continue to delve into and assimilate their insights, making steady progress in their cultivation.

At this point, Jiang Chengxuan has completely mastered the rules of the Five Elements, Samsara, and Life and Death Dao. These powerful forces have become incredibly stable within him, thanks to the heritage of Immortal Eastern River which he has been meticulously studying.

Time passes, and hundreds more years slip by.

Jiang Chengxuan sits in meditation like a stone Buddha, undisturbed for centuries, his presence devoid of any overt manifestation of Dao rules.

This is not to suggest any flaw in his cultivation, but rather the opposite; at this stage, Jiang Chengxuan has thoroughly comprehended and unified the rules of Life and Death, Samsara, and the Five Elements, returning to a state of simplicity and purity.

Even a Daolord would be unable to discern his cultivation level unless he chose to reveal it himself, such is the depth of his mastery.

Life and Death, Samsara, and the Five Elements are now completely under his control. When he manifests his power, a profound aura of nothingness expands from him, enveloping him in a barrier of void where all rules are nullified, capable of negating all forms of energy.

This new divine power, which Jiang Chengxuan has named the “Void Wheel of Rules,” harnesses the power of nothingness to consume everything. Inspired by the final desperate attack of the ninth-level beasts he once faced, this technique is even more formidable.

The Void Wheel of Rules utilizes the cyclic forces of the Five Elements, Life and Death, and Samsara to absorb all existence instantaneously, forcibly drawing everything into a cycle of obliteration.

Moreover, this force of nothingness is continuously self-sustaining and completely controllable by Jiang Chengxuan.
