Chapter 1477: Breakthrough Location, Three Great Sites – Part 2 Chapter 1477: Breakthrough Location, Three Great Sites – Part 2 Editor: Henyee Translations To ordinary people, this place was a sea of deathaEUR”lifeless and barren, with not a single blade of grass in sight.
Yet, for cultivators, despite its perilous nature, it harbored immensely rich earth spirit energy and wind spirit energy, making it an ideal place for cultivating these paths.
The moment Jiang Chengxuan stepped through the spatial gate, he immediately sensed that the density of immortal energy here was several times greater than in the Western Black Sea.
Even without deploying formations to concentrate the energy, this place was suitable as a breakthrough site.
Without delay, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan began surveying the area, meticulously exploring every corner of this vast desert.
Over seven days, braving the relentless wind and sandstorms, they traversed the entirety of the Golden Kingdom.
Their findings were a mix of promise and challenges.
There was no doubt the site met many requirements: Abundant immortal energy: It provided more than enough spiritual power to sustain a breakthrough.
Stability under power surges: The space was solid enough to handle the immense forces of a breakthrough without collapsing.
However, this was not enough to smooth Jiang Chengxuan's furrowed brows, as a critical flaw became apparent.
“Dear, what do you think of this location?” Shen Ruyan finally broke the silence, turning to Jiang Chengxuan after their final inspection.
After a moment's reflection, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head.
Raising his hand to feel the spiritual sand carried by the wind, he said, “The immortal energy here is exceptional, but we've encountered two groups of cultivators during our exploration.” Clearly, while the Golden Kingdom was a dangerous place, it wasn't a true forbidden zone like the Immortal Insect Valley.
The area was populated with powerful beasts, treacherous terrains, and hidden opportunities, drawing treasure hunters willing to risk their lives.
Encountering two groups of people within seven days indicated the place lacked the seclusion necessary for a breakthrough.
“HmmaEUR ” Shen Ruyan pondered for a moment before suggesting, “The perpetual sandstorms here are sufficient to obscure most investigations.
If we were to set up a few formations, we could deter intruders and keep them wandering at the edges without realizing what lies within.” Her suggestion was a sound strategy, and Jiang Chengxuan's eyes lit up briefly at the idea.
However, after further consideration, he shook his head again: “The Golden Kingdom is under constant erosion from the sandstorms.
The spatial stability here is barely enough to sustain a breakthrough as is.
Adding formations might destabilize the environment, causing unpredictable consequences.” Adhering to his principle of caution, Jiang Chengxuan refused to accept even a minimal risk.
He would rather delay his breakthrough and continue the search, even if it meant venturing beyond the Western Continent.
“You're right,” Shen Ruyan sighed softly, her concern evident.
While she couldn't directly resolve Jiang Chengxuan's predicament, she offered her unwavering companionship.
Sensing her thoughts, Jiang Chengxuan took her hand and smiled warmly, “My dear, there's no need to worry.
All the critical conditions for the breakthrough are already gathered.
How can we not find the perfect location?” “Even if this place doesn't work out, traveling with you is already a journey well worth it.” His reassuring words brought a radiant smile to Shen Ruyan's face, smoothing her furrowed brows.
Her exquisite features lit up with newfound confidence.
“Your composure, husband, is truly admirable.
I ought to learn more from you,” she teased with a playful tone.
The couple shared a few lighthearted remarks amidst the endless sands, their spirits lifted.
Breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm was no trivial matter, and the weight of the endeavor bore heavily on both.
Yet, their companionship eased the pressure, highlighting the profound support of a Dao Companion.
Having shifted their mindset, the two resumed their journey, eventually arriving at the final site Jiang Chengxuan had prepared.
This location was one of great renownaEUR”feared and revered among cultivators of the Western Continent in the Xuanyuan Immortal Domain.
They stood in the void, overlooking the remnants of the final battlefield where a hundred immortals had fought the malevolent tree's avatar.
During the great calamity that threatened the entire Western Continent, Jiang Chengxuan had led countless warriors in a desperate battle, ultimately suppressing the disaster and saving billions of lives.
That battle had left the skies above this place forever scarred.
The spilled immortal blood had dyed the heavens crimson, and the once brilliant stars now dimmed, leaving an oppressive, lifeless void.
This location had suffered destruction comparable to the Western Black SeaaEUR”if not worse, as even the malevolent tree's avatar had perished here.
Despite this, Jiang Chengxuan's unique circumstances made this place a viable option.
His deliberate inclusion of it in his list of candidates suggested it met the conditions he required.
The Ancient Battlefield Beneath the desolate heavens, winds of destruction howled mournfully, and chaotic energy swirled ceaselessly.
In the void, fragments of Dao principles left by fallen immortals occasionally materialized into strange phenomenaaEUR”eerily beautiful yet perilous.
This alone fulfilled the requirement of seclusion.
As an ancient battlefield fraught with chaos, it naturally repelled intruders.
The terror of the great battle had long spread across the Western Continent.
Dozens of immortals had perished here, cementing its reputation as a forbidden zone.
Over the millennia since the calamity, fewer than ten immortals had dared to venture into this place, and many never returned.
“Dear!
The energy here is chaotic but incredibly abundant!” Shen Ruyan exclaimed after sensing the turbulence of the battlefield.
Though she didn't fully understand how Jiang Chengxuan intended to bypass the impurities in the energy, she could tell this site was almost perfect in terms of raw power.
The battlefield's residual forcesaEUR”from the Dao principles of fallen immortals, the malevolent tree's remnants, and the scattered chaos of the shattered heavensaEUR”saturated the vast expanse.
If Jiang Chengxuan could harness this energy, it would surpass the potential of the Golden Kingdom.
“Indeed, this site meets two of the three criteria,” Jiang Chengxuan said, his excitement evident.
He hadn't expected the most unlikely location to emerge as the strongest candidate.
This battlefield, once the site of near death, now held the promise of his rebirth.
“However, the space here is completely fractured.
What can we do about that?” Shen Ruyan asked, her brows furrowing again.
The spatial structure had been devastated by the battle, and even after thousands of years, it remained in ruins.
Jiang Chengxuan's expression remained calm as he smiled and said, “That problemaEUR I can't fully resolve it yet.” Then, pointing deeper into the battlefield, he added, “But if my assumptions are correct, we might find a solution thereaEUR ” Intrigued, Shen Ruyan pulled Jiang Chengxuan forward, eager to uncover the mysterious force he spoke of.
As they ventured further, the remnants of divine powers and Dao principles grew more intense.
Fortunately, their current cultivation was more than enough to endure the chaotic energies as they pressed onward.
