Chapter 1413: After the Great Catastrophe, the Celestials Return in Triumph (Part 2) Chapter 1413: After the Great Catastrophe, the Celestials Return in Triumph (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations In an instant, the tribulation energy dissipated like smoke, disappearing as swiftly as it had appeared.
After experiencing death and resurrection, Jiang Chengxuan's inner Fudi (celestial domain) had absorbed two mysterious powers.
One of these came from the Tribulation Weapon, and the two forces seemed to be slowly merging.
As a result, Jiang Chengxuan now wielded the weapon with unparalleled ease and control.
Under Jiang Chengxuan's careful healing, Shen Ruyan felt an immediate relief wash over her, as the pain and blockages in her body dissipated like morning mist under the sun.
She sighed softly with a smile, “Thank you, my husband.” Jiang Chengxuan smiled back, shaking his head.
“It is thanks to you and the others holding the battlefield that we were able to protect Western Celestial Lands.” This statement brought smiles not only to Shen Ruyan but to the surrounding celestials, who nodded in agreement.
Jiang Chengxuan then turned to address the crowd in a booming voice: “This battle was won through your selfless dedication.
Western Celestial Lands is now safe, and I am deeply grateful!” “The great catastrophe has been suppressed!
You may return to your sects with this triumphant news!” His voice echoed across the vast battlefield, stirring the hearts of everyone present.
For a brief moment, the surviving celestials stood still, processing the magnitude of the victory.
Some wept openly, tears streaming down their faces, while others laughed with joy, overwhelmed by relief.
Still others hugged one another, celebrating their hard-fought success.
At that moment, after Jiang Chengxuan's decisive declaration, the tense atmosphere finally dissolved.
They all knew that the cruel and dangerous battle had ended at last.
Though they had secured a great victory, it had come at a heavy cost.
Many had fallen, and the pain of those losses mixed with their relief and joy.
Both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan remained silent, observing the mixed emotions of those around them.
Only after the celestials had collected themselves did they approach Jiang Chengxuan, Xuanhan Immortal, and Fuguang Immortal, bowing deeply and solemnly.
“To stand against the great catastrophe and protect Western Celestial Lands is the duty of every cultivator,” one of them said, speaking for the group.
“We are deeply honored to have fought alongside you, Celestial Lords, to protect our land.” “For the protection of Western Celestial Lands, we represent all the sects in offering our deepest gratitude,” another added, bowing even lower.
Jiang Chengxuan, Xuanhan Immortal, and Fuguang Immortal were moved by the collective respect from the group of surviving celestials.
Jiang Chengxuan was the first to respond, raising his sleeve and sending a gentle gust of celestial wind to help them stand.
“In facing this catastrophe, we all fought together.
No one is above another in this effort,” he said humbly.
“Now that the great catastrophe has been suppressed, I urge you to return to your sects and rest.
If any difficulties arise, do not hesitate to call upon us for aid.” His words brought stability to the group, and the mood lightened further as everyone nodded in agreement.
The time for celebration was close, but there were still tasks at hand.
“Gather the bodies of our fallen comrades, and let us return to Western Celestial Lands!” Jiang Chengxuan commanded.
With that, the remaining celestials began the solemn task of collecting the bodies of their fallen brothers and sisters.
Once ready, they ascended into the sky, streaking toward Western Celestial Lands as a trail of glowing clouds.
Back in the Scattered Immortals Alliance within the Western Celestial Lands, Qin Shenwu, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan's master, stood atop a mountain peak, staring into the distance where the battle had taken place.
Though the distant battlefield had long since fallen silent, his heart remained anxious.
The outcome of that battle would determine the fate of the entire Western Celestial Lands, and more personally, the safety of his two most prized disciples.
Across the vast expanse of the Western Celestial Lands, countless others felt the same anxiety as Qin Shenwu.
Every cultivator, and even many mortals, anxiously awaited news of the battle's result, hoping for a victorious conclusion.
Suddenly, from the far horizon, a radiant flash of celestial light appeared, forming clouds of iridescent mist that drifted toward the mountain at remarkable speed.
Seeing this, Qin Shenwu's spirit surged, his eyes brightening.
He leaped into the air, racing toward the incoming celestial clouds.
Within moments, the landscape sped past beneath him, and the figures within the clouds became visible.
“Master!
Your disciple has returned!” Jiang Chengxuan's voice rang out, carrying a smile that immediately brought joy to Qin Shenwu's face.
“Hahaha!
Excellent!
Wonderful!
You've returned!” Qin Shenwu laughed heartily, his joy palpable.
Even before hearing the details, he could sense from Jiang Chengxuan's expression that the battle had been won.
As the rest of the Scattered Immortals Alliance's elders and members arrived, they greeted Qin Shenwu with deep bows.
“Elder Qin, we were victorious!
Western Celestial Lands is saved!” Tears brimmed in the eyes of many, and even Qin Shenwu found himself growing misty-eyed.
The overwhelming sense of relief at seeing his disciples and fellow cultivators safe washed over him.
His heart, which had been filled with unease, finally settled into peace.
His disciples were safe.
His fellow cultivators were safe.
That was all he had ever wanted.
After exchanging a few words of celebration, the group continued their journey.
They traveled through endless mountains and rivers, accompanied by brilliant celestial light, returning to their starting point at the Scattered Immortals Alliance.
When the grand formation protecting the Scattered Immortals Alliance opened with a thunderous roar, it revealed a sea of people gathered below and in the sky above.
There were disciples of the Alliance, as well as ordinary cultivators and mortals who sought refuge under their protection.
Yet all shared the same reaction when they saw Jiang Chengxuan and his companions return: pure elation.
“They're back!
The Celestial Lords have returned!” “Could it be?
Has the great catastrophe been suppressed?” “Hahaha!
This is amazing!
We can go home!” “Praise to the Celestial Lords!
They've safeguarded our lands and protected us all!” “Praise to the Celestial Lords!
They've safeguarded our lands and protected us all!” The voices of countless grateful souls echoed across the landscape, shaking the mountains and causing the clouds above to ripple.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others heard the outpouring of gratitude, and a deep sense of pride swelled within them.
As celestial beings devoted to the path of righteousness, saving the world from calamity was not only their duty but also a reflection of their commitment to the Dao.
And in return, the heavens themselves bestowed upon them unseen merits, further strengthening their connection to the Dao.
“The great catastrophe has been suppressed!
The Western Celestial Lands are free from disaster!” The celestial lords declared their victory to the masses below, their voices ringing out like bells, resounding through the mountains.
Upon hearing this, the vast crowd erupted in cheers once again, their voices carrying the joy and relief of countless souls.
Many wept openly, their eyes blurred with tears of happiness.
For hundreds, even thousands of years, the people of the Western Celestial Lands had lived under the shadow of the great catastrophe, their hearts never at peace.
Entire sects had been annihilated, sacred lands reduced to ruins, countless lives lost, families torn apart, sects destroyed, and dreams shattered.
The catastrophe had tested them beyond measure, pushing many to their breaking point.
But now, at last, the nightmare was over.
How could they not rejoice?
It was as if the condemned had been granted a new lease on life.
Soon, the news of Jiang Chengxuan and the celestial lords' victory spread throughout the entire Western Celestial Lands.
The leadership of every sect and faction received the triumphant news, their hearts swelling with joy as they passed it on.
With the great catastrophe finally suppressed, the Western Celestial Lands could now look forward to a period of revival.
After destruction comes rebirth, and new, unimaginable changes would soon sweep through the land, bringing forth a new era of prosperity and growth.
