Within the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Inside Jiang Chengxuan’s secluded chamber.
In the vast alchemy room, a strange and wondrous sight filled the air.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
Ethereal visions of celestial mountains and rivers shimmered in the void, as though an entire world had manifested in the space.
A tranquil river flowed, and mountains bathed in divine sunlight rose, surrounded by mist and clouds.
The scene was so lifelike, one could hear birds singing and see serpents slithering among the trees.
Even more remarkable, these illusions moved with a rhythm of their own, sometimes stretching, sometimes contracting, as if unseen hands were guiding their flow.
In reality, this miraculous display was the result of flames burning within the room.
The space was filled with an endless sea of alchemical fire.
These flames, undoubtedly controlled by Jiang Chengxuan, radiated from the center, where the towering Mountain and River Furnace glowed a deep crimson.
The furnace was fueled to its utmost capacity by Jiang Chengxuan’s immortal energy.
For days without rest, Jiang Chengxuan had been solely focused on refining a vast quantity of pills.
His goal was to complete this process in one sitting, to ensure he wouldn’t need to be distracted later by further alchemical tasks or unexpected interruptions.
Since the day he began his secluded session, the Mountain and River Furnace had burned ceaselessly, with its entire structure now gleaming with a nearly transparent brilliance.
The fragrant aroma of countless medicinal herbs permeated every corner of the room, as though it had seeped into the walls and floor itself.
“Rise!”
At a certain moment, Jiang Chengxuan, still seated amidst the roaring alchemical flames, softly commanded, his eyes snapping open and sending a ripple through the air.
His hands moved fluidly, forming dozens of seals in the blink of an eye, each striking the furnace with resounding force.
The Mountain and River Furnace responded instantly, emitting a brilliant flash of divine light that shot toward the heavens.
The illusions of mountains and rivers twisted and contorted wildly in the space around the furnace, taking on a more profound and mystical appearance.
Within the light, a single streak of multicolored brilliance soared into the air, accompanied by a thunderous boom.
This speck of radiant light descended slowly into Jiang Chengxuan’s awaiting hands.
“Phew—”
Seeing the fruit of his labor in hand, Jiang Chengxuan let out a long breath, his tense expression easing.
Gently, he lifted the newly refined pill between his fingers and examined it for a few moments before retrieving a five-colored box.
As the box opened, a powerful aura surged forth, filled with the essence of pure origin energy.
Inside the box lay a collection of pills, each gleaming with an otherworldly glow, unmistakably extraordinary in quality.
These pills were the culmination of Jiang Chengxuan’s secluded refinement process.
He had poured all the remaining primordial energies and rare ingredients into them, ensuring that they would suffice even if the great tribulation lasted for tens of thousands of years.
As the furnace’s brilliance gradually dimmed, and the flames began to die down, a ripple of energy pulsed through the protective formation surrounding Jiang Chengxuan’s chamber, manifesting as a beam of light that swiftly flew toward him.
Unperturbed, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression remained calm.
With a slight gesture, he caught the incoming light, which revealed itself to be a message transmission imbued with the aura of Shen Ruyan.
“It’s just a message from Ruyan,” Jiang Chengxuan muttered softly as he opened the transmission.
“Husband, important events have occurred in Zhongzhou.
Rumors are spreading of an Earth Immortal treasure’s emergence.
I have already departed to investigate and have brought enough people.
Do not worry.”
The message was brief, but upon reading it, Jiang Chengxuan’s brows furrowed in thought, his expression becoming serious.
An Earth Immortal treasure had appeared!
Such news was far from a cause for celebration.
In the Immortal Realm, seven or eight out of every ten conflicts could be traced back to disputes over treasures or fortuitous opportunities.
The term “treasure” was often more synonymous with “peril” than with “opportunity.”
Furthermore, Shen Ruyan’s message specifically mentioned an Earth Immortal treasure, which heightened Jiang Chengxuan’s concern.
For news of a Zhongzhou treasure to reach even Shen Ruyan in Xizhou meant one of two things: either the treasure was closely linked to the Loose Cultivator Alliance, or the secret of its existence had already spread far and wide, making it common knowledge.
This, in turn, signaled even greater danger.
From this short message, Jiang Chengxuan could already deduce that intense battles had likely erupted in Zhongzhou between various factions.
The implications were clear.
“I have a bad feeling about this,” Jiang Chengxuan murmured to himself, feeling a persistent sense of unease.
“Let me divine the situation.”
Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan summoned a circular celestial artifact—the Heavenly Dao Compass—into his hand.
His immortal energy surged, activating the divination powers of the artifact.
As the energy gathered, it formed a vortex that enveloped him.
Jiang Chengxuan sat cross-legged once more, sending the compass floating above his head.
A soft light descended from the compass, shrouding his figure in a veil of mist.
As the power of divination deepened, the threads of fate hidden within the heavens began to reveal themselves, connecting the lines of causality that would illuminate the path ahead.
