Chapter 1455: Treasures in Hand, the Final Condition (Part 2) Chapter 1455: Treasures in Hand, the Final Condition (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing the object in Elder Star Hu's hand, Jiang Chengxuan knew it was exactly the Transmutable Heavenly Stone he was after.
For most Celestial Immortals, such a stone would be difficult to fully grasp due to its complexity, making it valuable only for its raw elemental essence or a few law traces.
However, for Jiang ChengxuanaEUR”already standing on the threshold of becoming a Celestial ImmortalaEUR”the Transmutable Heavenly Stone was far more precious.
The stone held a microcosm of celestial laws, and unlocking its boundless transformations was precisely what Jiang needed to make the leap to true immortality.
“Oh?
And what might this be?” Jiang asked nonchalantly, feigning curiosity.
“What a strange energyaEUR”it seems Elder Star Hu has quite the collection!” “Isn't that the legendary Transmutable Heavenly Stone?” murmured someone among the crowd, sparking discussion as immortals speculated, admired, or recognized the stone's identity.
Elder Star Hu, watching Jiang's face closely, could barely conceal his anxiety.
He feared Jiang might again dismiss the offering, as he had done with the pseudo-Celestial Immortal artifact.
Little did he know, Jiang was already celebrating internally, having achieved his objective.
“Very well, I'll accept this,” Jiang finally replied, feigning reluctance as he nodded and reached for the stone.
With a simple gesture, he cast a wave of gentle immortal energy toward Star Hu, collecting the Transmutable Heavenly Stone, the Origin Essence Tree, and the Heavenly Elixir in a single sweep.
Around him, the other immortals looked on with blazing envy and fascination, especially the disciples and elders of the Starry Celestial Sect, who could only watch helplessly as their sect's treasures left with Jiang.
No one dared try to seize the treasures.
Doing so would risk offending not only Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan but also Elder Star Hu, Elder Star Fall, and Elder Star ScourgeaEUR”a certain death sentence.
“Let us consider matters in Qingyun Prefecture resolved, then,” Jiang declared, his voice reverberating.
“Until we meet again.” With that, he and Shen Ruyan unleashed a surge of celestial energy, activating a vast spatial force that rocketed them toward the heavens.
The massive formation covering hundreds of miles began to recede, folding inward as beams of silver light streamed back toward Jiang, merging into his own domain.
High above, the colossal silver city that had loomed over Star Fragment Plain slowly dissipated, revealing the clear sky once more.
Elder Star Hu and the others let out a collective sigh of relief as they looked around, realizing Jiang and Shen had already departed.
For many witnessing the event, the upheaval had finally ended.
But Jiang Chengxuan's exploits, along with the power of the Western Continent, had firmly placed them in the minds of Central Continent's mighty factions, the battle's tale already spreading through the realm.
aEUR Afterward, within the Reclusive Immortal Alliance's mountain domain, silvery waves rippled in the air as a portal opened, and two figures stepped out.
“Congratulations, husband, on acquiring the treasure!” Shen Ruyan beamed, slipping her arm through Jiang's as they entered.
Jiang laughed, his eyes sparkling.
“Indeed, the Transmutable Heavenly Stone was with Star Hu all alongaEUR though it took some effort to secure it.” Of course, he didn't mean the physical battle but the mental game of drawing out Star Hu's willingness to offer up the stone without arousing suspicion.
For Jiang, overpowering the three elders was simple, even while restraining his strength to the Celestial Immortal stage.
Yet drawing them into his plan and nudging them to voluntarily offer such treasures was a true test of wit.
“But it's all over now, and everything went smoothly,” he mused.
“Not only did I secure the Transmutable Heavenly Stone, but we've also shown Central Continent the strength of the Reclusive Immortal Alliance.” “Did this battle inspire any new insights for you?” Jiang asked Shen Ruyan after they chatted a while.
Smiling, he retrieved the Origin Essence Tree and Heavenly Elixir from his storage ring, filling the chamber with a vibrant glow and pure essence.
The cavern transformed, becoming a dreamlike realm.
“Here, these are yours,” he said.
Shen Ruyan's eyes widened as she took in the treasures, her eyes shimmering with gratitude.
“HusbandaEUR thisaEUR ” The Origin Essence Tree and Heavenly Elixir were no ordinary items.
Each was a coveted artifact across the immortal realm, the likes of which even Jiang Chengxuan had rarely encountered.
Though they were dao companions, the weight of such a gift left her speechless.
“There's no need to hold back between us,” Jiang said softly, stroking her hair.
“Besides, you've done your part in the great disaster and in this recent battle.
I'd be stingy not to reward your efforts.” Shen Ruyan blushed at his words, letting out a laugh before she promised, “Then I accept your gifts and will do everything to repay you.” She gently took the treasures, marveling at the power contained within.
The sheer essence within the Origin Essence Tree alone would sustain her cultivation to the mid-Celestial Immortal stage.
Time passed, and soon, Shen Ruyan entered closed-door meditation to process her newfound treasures and elevate her cultivation further.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chengxuan found himself with some idle time, as his breakthrough required one final piece.
Between his cultivation sessions, he dispatched people to track down the last item needed for his ascent to Celestial Immortal, spending his time perfecting his alchemy skills in the meantime.
He focused on creating Celestial-grade pills, distributing them among the alliance's elders to strengthen their ranks.
For him, concocting Celestial-grade pills had become almost effortless, the ancient alchemy methods he had studied now mostly mastered.
Only a few arcane recipes still eluded him, as they required rare ingredients not currently within his grasp.
The days slipped by, with Jiang's alchemical expertise growing ever sharper, until a century later, the news he had been waiting for finally arrived.
To his surprise, the final item was located in a place he knew all too wellaEUR”a familiar destination that he had once visited.
