Chapter 1419: Both in Seclusion, Visitors from the Azure Province (Part 2) Chapter 1419: Both in Seclusion, Visitors from the Azure Province (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations Moreover, attaining the status of an Earthly Immortal is a matter of fixed destiny within the Immortal Domain.
No matter how prepared one might be, if the right position is unavailable, they will never achieve the rank of Earthly Immortal.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan had already paved the way for his beloved Shen Ruyan.
Whether it was the Celestial Tribulation Thunder or the Five Elements Celestial Stones necessary for refining an Earthly Immortal Inner World, Jiang Chengxuan had painstakingly gathered everything over the last millennium.
The most valuable of these materials was, without a doubt, the Five Elements Celestial Stones.
Even for Jiang Chengxuan, acquiring them had required tremendous effort.
He had negotiated a deal with Fuguang Immortal, ventured into the perilous Immortal Worm Valley, and survived countless life-threatening dangers to secure them.
The Five Elements Celestial Stones were the hardest part to obtain, and once Jiang Chengxuan had them in hand, the other necessary materials came easily.
Now, Shen Ruyan patiently waited for the right moment.
At that decisive moment, Shen Ruyan's eyes snapped open, and a sharp, thunderous light flashed.
With a soft yet commanding shout, her delicate hands moved, and a surge of vast celestial power poured forth, summoning several celestial materials into the air.
Then, in the surrounding void, the Laws of Life and Death, as well as the Primeval Wind, manifested, creating layers of mystical phenomena that enveloped the celestial materials.
These forces began to refine and awaken the materials' inherent power, imprinting Shen Ruyan's aura into them.
The process was long and tedious, but Shen Ruyan was used to it.
She could sense, deep within her spirit, that her husband Jiang Chengxuan was also in seclusion, his power growing rapidly.
This time, he was likely to reach an unfathomable level of strength.
As his Dao companion, Shen Ruyan didn't want to hold him back, nor did she want to be merely a decorative figure by his side.
She had her own pride, her own path to walk.
Giving up was not an option.
No matter what, she was determined to chase after Jiang Chengxuan's footsteps, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him, even if that meant facing the dangers of the vast universe and the multitudes of heavens.
She would never leave his side.
“I have my own road to travelaEUR ” Shen Ruyan whispered to herself, her eyes shining with determination.
Gradually, the celestial materials necessary for refining her Inner World began to emit radiant light as they fused.
Time passed steadily, and the crucial moment of the Inner World's formation finally arrived.
Without hesitation, Shen Ruyan took out the most vital itemaEUR”the core celestial crystalaEUR”gently suspending it in the dense celestial aura.
It was none other than the crystal Jiang Chengxuan had seized from the battlefield at Liuyun Immortal Valley in the Central Province, at the dawn of the great calamity.
Back then, the great calamity had just begun, and the Avatar of the Calamity had made its first appearance, consuming the powerful Heavenfall Immortal and turning him into a puppet, driving the various factions to the brink of despair.
At that crucial moment, Jiang Chengxuan had divined Shen Ruyan's opportunity for a breakthrough and pinpointed it in the battlefield of Liuyun Immortal Valley.
He carved his way through, first slaying Qingfeng Immortal, then saving numerous allies, and finally using the power of the Calamity Blade to suppress the Avatar of the Calamity, prying the celestial crystal from Heavenfall Immortal's brow.
This crystal was, in fact, the essence of the Five Elements Celestial Stones, a rare item of similar nature that could also be used to refine an Earthly Immortal Inner World.
Now, it was Shen Ruyan's critical moment, as foretold by Jiang Chengxuan's divination.
The great calamity had disrupted the balance of heaven and earth, causing countless Earthly Immortals to fallaEUR”far more than in the previous hundred thousand years.
The positions of Earthly Immortals were vacant, making this the most opportune time to ascend.
Shen Ruyan understood that her chance was now or never.
With a thunderous roar, Shen Ruyan activated the Five Elements Celestial Crystal, which erupted with five primeval elements, instantly enveloping the celestial materials she had prepared, initiating the merging and refining process.
Within this display, the essence of Shen Ruyan's Dao was firmly engraved, and the laws of the Immortal Domain began to reflect upon it.
Above, the invisible will of the Immortal Domain descended, imbuing its presence into this burgeoning Inner World, testing and acknowledging its legitimacy.
Only through this process could a flawless Inner World be formed.
Thunder roared endlessly in the void as the lightning surrounding Shen Ruyan grew increasingly chaotic.
Her entire grotto was awash with the hazy light of the primeval elements, concealing everything from sight.
“She's startedaEUR Truly, the younger generation is full of surprises,” Xuanhan Immortal said with a wry smile, seated beneath an ancient pine tree atop one of the peaks of the Loose Cultivator Alliance's mountain.
His greatsword lay across his knees as he stared off into the distance.
Opposite him, Fuguang Immortal sat across a stone table with a tea kettle steaming with celestial mist, sighing in agreement.
At this moment, the two Earthly Immortals were present to stand guard for Shen Ruyan.
They had known about her attempt to break through to Earthly Immortal long beforehand.
“A chaotic era indeed produces prodigies.
We might be witnessing the rise of two extraordinary beings,” Fuguang Immortal said, his tone carrying an air of inevitability.
Xuanhan Immortal nodded solemnly, fully agreeing with Fuguang Immortal's words.
The battle against the Avatar of the Calamity had gone beyond their comprehension.
Even in the vast history of the Immortal Domain, such occurrences were exceedingly rare, with few records save for the ancient and unknowable eras.
Though Shen Ruyan had always been overshadowed by Jiang Chengxuan, the Loose Cultivator Alliance had long recognized her as a remarkable genius.
In a short time, she had reached the threshold of the Earthly Immortal realm, and her combat prowess was unmatched among her peers.
Her talents would have already earned her a legendary reputation if not for Jiang Chengxuan's more astonishing accomplishments.
The fact that they were Dao companions only made the two Earthly Immortals more incredulous about what the future held.
They couldn't imagine the heights these two would reach.
Meanwhile, as Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan focused on their cultivation within the safe confines of the Western Province, the rest of the Immortal Domain was consumed by chaos.
Across the provincesaEUR”East, North, and SouthaEUR”legendary battles raged.
The Earthly Immortals and top factions fought over the remaining Inner Worlds left after the great calamity.
Earth-shaking battles erupted almost constantly, far more frequently than any time in the past tens of thousands of years.
Earthly Immortals clashed over every available Inner World, and the relics left behind by the great calamityaEUR”like the Celestial Tribulation ThunderaEUR”were hotly contested.
At the same time, a significant contingent of cultivators was making their way from the Central Province to the Western Province.
“HmmaEUR So this used to be the Azure Province, home to the Azure Cloud Sect.
What a tragic fate it met,” a group of red-robed cultivators muttered as they walked through the ruins.
The leader, striding through the air and scanning the surroundings, was none other than Red-Beard Immortal, one of the three Earthly Immortals who had escaped the seal.
As a witness to the great calamity, he felt a twinge of sorrow seeing the devastation left behind by the calamity.
Yet he remained unaware that the Azure Cloud Sect had survived the calamity, having sought shelter under the Loose Cultivator Alliance's wing, and that the Western Province was not nearly as ravaged as he presumed.
It was, in fact, the only province in the Immortal Domain that had managed to suppress the calamity.
“Well, that just makes it easier.
The Azure Province is ours now,” Red-Beard Immortal said, his tone shifting to one of satisfaction.
This was the real reason he had come to the edges of the Western ProvinceaEUR”the vast lands of the Azure Province, millions of miles wide, were ripe for the taking, a prize that would greatly enhance his faction's strength.
