Chapter 625: Blessing and Curse, A Massive Spirit Stone Mine

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The so-called Dustless Lower Sphere was one of the various realms.

Despite being a lower sphere, its expanse was vast.

The lower sphere was divided into many different realms based on size, resources, and other factors.

Jiang Chengxuan knew that besides their own Dustless Lower Sphere, there were others like the Broadened Mortal Sphere and the Four Extremes Lower Sphere.

Each of these divided lower spheres contained many worlds.

Among them,

Their Nine Essences Cultivation World and the Astral Origin Cultivation World mentioned by Huang Ling’er were part of the Dustless Lower Sphere.

However, for reasons unknown, as per Huang Ling’er’s information from her father, all worlds within the Dustless Lower Sphere had lost their ascension passages.

This news was undoubtedly a calamity for all cultivators in the Dustless Lower Sphere.

“Ling’er, have you told anyone else about this?”

!!..

Jiang Chengxuan suddenly thought of this question.

Huang Ling’er shook her head and said, “No, so far, I’ve only told you, Brother Jiang.”

“Good,’1 Jiang Chengxuan nodded, “Then let’s keep this information between you, me, and your sister Shen. We shouldn’t let others know about it for now.” After a pause, Jiang Chengxuan continued,

“Moreover, from what you’ve told me, it seems your father has somehow entered the Astral Origin Cultivation World and likely found a great opportunity there.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to send you messages across different worlds.

Even if there is a special bloodline connection between you two, such communication shouldn’t be possible.

So.

For now, your father seems to be safe.

In the future, if he sends you any more messages, you can share them with me and your sister Shen, depending on the situation.

Of course, if it’s not convenient, you don’t have to.

Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

Huang Ling’er nodded.

But soon, she shook her head.

“Brother Jiang, no matter what message my father sends me in the future, I will inform you and sister Shen as soon as possible.”

Jiang Chengxuan felt a warmth in his heart, knowing how rare and valuable Huang Ling’er’s trust in him and Shen Ruyan was.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the secrets she carried could attract the covetous attention of countless people if not hidden well.

Jiang Chengxuan believed that when she received the information from her father, she must have been told to keep it a secret.

No matter how much she trusted someone or how close she was to someone, she couldn’t reveal it easily.

However, at this moment, Huang Ling’er really didn’t hold back at all.

Not only did she choose to inform him immediately, but she also told him that if there was similar information in the future, she would still inform him immediately.

Jiang Chengxuan didn’t say anything else. He only told her that if she needed anything in the future, she could come to Xuanming Peak to look for him and Shen Ruyan.

After Huang Ling’er left, Jiang Chengxuan looked in the direction of Shen Ruyan’s cave abode, his expression turning grave.

It seemed that a lot was happening at once, with various matters piling up together.

Jiang Chengxuan wondered where Shen Ruyan’s human tribulation for her Soul Formation breakthrough would occur.

As far as he knew, the demon race wouldn’t dare to interfere under the watchful eye of the heavens during her breakthrough.

This was her biggest advantage in advancing to Soul Formation this time.

Regarding the demonic cultivators, he didn’t believe these rats, who still dared not show themselves openly, would dare to make a move.

As for the cultivators from the Eastern End and the Central Plain, although they had made some enemies there, it was unlikely they were fully aware of his and Shen Ruyan’s true identities.

The likelihood of them intervening was there, but probably not significant.

Considering all this, Jiang Chengxuan wasn’t sure how Shen Ruyan’s human tribulation would manifest, but he was certain it would occur.

Regardless, finding people to guard Shen Ruyan during her breakthrough had to be put on the agenda.

He also planned to share his observations and suspicions with others.

With these thoughts, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t stay long on Mount Mystic Tai. He visited the Hidden Sword Palace, Everlasting Palace, and Black Sea Palace.

After some careful hesitation, he also decided to visit the Purple Sun Palace.

But instead of meeting with Heavenly Lord Purple Flame, he conveyed his observations to Heavenly Lord Purple Flame’s disciple, Perfected Lord Wind Cloud.

After completing these tasks, he returned to Mount Mystic Tai to guard Shen Ruyan as she attempted her breakthrough.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.

During these years, Jiang Chengxuan used the supreme-grade spirit stones he had acquired to set up a spirit gathering array around Shen Ruyan’s cave abode, compensating for the lack of a Level 6 spirit vein.

This ensured that there would be enough spiritual Qi available when Shen Ruyan started her actual breakthrough to Soul Formation.

Just like that.

Time passed day by day.

On this day.

Jiang Chengxuan was on Xuanming Peak, contemplating and refining his divine powers, looking for ways to improve them.

During this time, the family head, Jiang Renyi, suddenly arrived at Xuanming Peak in a rush and sought out Jiang Chengxuan, who was immersed in his research of divine powers.

“Granduncle!”

“Huh?”

Seeing Jiang Renyi arrive in such a hurry, Jiang Chengxuan immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

“Renyi, did something happen?”

Jiang Renyi’s expression was a mix of excitement, tension, exhilaration, and a bit of unease.

He spoke hurriedly, “Our people have discovered a massive spirit stone mine about three hundred miles away from Mount Mystic Tai.”

“What did you say?”

Hearing Jiang Renyi’s words, even Jiang Chengxuan, who was usually calm, could not help but look shocked.

“That’s right, Granduncle.”

Jiang Renyi hurriedly nodded.

“Our people discovered a massive spirit stone mine about 300 miles away from Mount Mystic Tai.

This is true.”

Seemingly worried that Jiang Chengxuan might think he was joking, Jiang Renyi emphatically repeated his statement.

This made Jiang Chengxuan’s heart beat faster.

No one knew better than him what a massive spirit stone mine meant.

It would bring a continuous supply of spirit stones, sufficient to support the Jiang family for hundreds or even thousands of years.

More importantly, a massive mine like that would undoubtedly contain a vast amount of high-grade spirit stones, and even supreme-grade spirit stones in significant quantities.

This was a wealth that could make any Soul Formation Heavenly Lord envious.

When Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean and Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain heard this news, would they be tempted?

Jiang Chengxuan suddenly realized something, his expression changing dramatically.

He now understood what the human tribulation Shen Ruyan would face in her Soul Formation breakthrough was.

It was likely related to this massive spirit stone mine.

The scale of this tribulation could potentially impact the entire Jiang family.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

When faced with immense benefits and gains, a great disaster might also be silently approaching.

If you can overcome it, it will prove that you are qualified for the benefits.

But if you fail, then the immense benefits and gains you’ve obtained will become the root of your destruction.”

“Who knows about this so far?” Jiang Chengxuan asked Jiang Renyi with a very serious tone.

Seeing Jiang Chengxuan’s demeanor, Jiang Renyi finally calmed down from his mix of excitement, tension, and anxiety.

However, as he calmed down, his face turned somewhat pale.

He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and said, “Granduncle, quite a few people know about the discovery of the massive spirit stone mine.

Although I have already ordered all related personnel to be temporarily controlled and have set up isolation zones and blockades around the area, some traces of energy were still leaked at the moment of discovery.

I suspect that we, the Jiang family, won’t be able to keep this a secret for long.”

Jiang Renyi’s quick realization of the gravity of the situation and his reaction to handling the matter were commendable.

But Jiang Chengxuan’s concerns went beyond just this.

He had a vague feeling that the situation was not as simple as it appeared.

Not to mention anything else, just the location of this massive spirit stone mine raised many questions.

It was near impossible that such a mine, so close to Mount Mystic Tai, could have existed without their knowledge.

It seemed unlikely that the Jiang family, despite exploring the surrounding areas over the years, would have missed such a significant discovery.

This was simply impossible.

So.

There was definitely something wrong with this super-large spirit stone mine that suddenly appeared.

Perhaps there was something they did not know yet.

BOOM!

Just then, a brilliantly dazzling, magnificent, and blinding streak of light suddenly shot up into the sky about three hundred miles away from Mount Mystic Tai.

Accompanying it was an ancient and vast aura slowly emanating from the light streak.

Most importantly, behind this towering light, there appeared to be the vague outline of what seemed like a heavenly paradise.

“What is that?”

Both Jiang Chengxuan and Jiang Renyi’s pupils constricted, their expressions drastically changing as they witnessed this unexpected and astonishing scene..
