“Senior Brother, what should we do now?”

Tianhe’s expression turned ugly.

However, a fierce light flashed in Tianfu s eyes.

“Let’s conceal our aura completely and wait for them to pass by us, then strike them with full force.

I don’t believe that two cultivators, at most in the late-stage of Nascent Soul, can withstand a full blow from us at the peak of Nascent Soul.”

As he spoke, Tianfu produced a talisman that could conceal their presence.

With its activation, he and Tianhe seemed to vanish into thin air, becoming undetectable.

At the same time.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were about a thousand miles away from Tianfu and Tianhe, they immediately sensed their presence.

Despite their concealed auras and the use of the talisman, they couldn’t hide from the couple.

The couple even had a rough idea of what Tianfu and Tianhe were planning to

do.

Therefore, in the next moment,

When the distance between them was about seven hundred miles, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged a glance.

Suddenly.

Two sword lights, radiating endless sharpness, slashed towards the hidden Tianfu and Tianhe from both sides.

Boom!

A terrifying surge of energy erupted.

Tianfu and Tianhe, despite their concealed presence, were shocked that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had found them.

More importantly, the couple’s attack was swift and merciless. Just one strike nearly caused them severe injuries.

How could this be?

The couple’s cultivation and strength were clearly not that of ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

“You…”

Just as Tianfu and Tianhe were about to speak, the power of the sword lights from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan suddenly intensified.

There was a rumble.

The sword lights, like a reversed galaxy, tore through the protective treasures of Tianfu and Tianhe Zhenjun, slicing their physical bodies into shreds.

“Arghhhh!”

Such a brutal end was something neither Tianfu nor Tianhe had anticipated.

Their Nascent Souls quickly escaped from their shattered bodies, not having a moment to think of anything else.

Their plump Nascent Souls began to burn their essence, attempting to flee far away.

However, at this moment, terrifying fist shadows and lightning landed on Tianfu and Tianhe’s Nascent Soul.

just as their Nascent Souls flew a hundred miles, they exploded into nothingness in mid-air.

A violent surge of spiritual Qi suddenly spread out across the sky.

Wu Bingyun and Perfected Lord Nether Star, who were in the Ice Jade Palace, gasped upon seeing this scene.

One had to know that Tianfu and Tianhe were both Peak Nascent Soul cultivators.

And what happened?

They couldn’t even withstand a few moves against Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, effectively being annihilated instantly.

This level of strength and cultivation clearly surpassed the ordinary Nascent Soul level.

Wu Bingyun couldn’t help but ask Perfected Lord Nether Star, “Fellow Daoist Nether Star, could it be that Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Shen have already taken that step?”

Perfected Lord Nether Star nodded.

“I think so.”

After a pause, Perfected Lord Nether Star continued,

“And perhaps even beyond that.”

At the same time.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, after collecting the storage rings of Tianfu and Tianhe, headed straight for the teleportation array that led directly to the Abyss of Celestial Beasts.

Upon reaching the site and using the teleportation token given by Perfected

Lord Nether Star, the teleportation array lit up brilliantly.

There was a whoosh.

in an instant, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan vanished from their original location.

At the same time.

Two equally formidable figures suddenly appeared at the site of Tianfu and Tianhe’s demise, their faces revealing shock.

“Tianfu and Tianhe have fallen?”

“Who could have done this?”

For a moment, their expressions fluctuated.

They looked in the direction of the Ice Jade Palace in fear. After pondering for a moment, they did not stay here any longer and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the same time.

Over a vast blue sea, two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.

These were none other than Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

They looked around, confirming that this was indeed the Abyss of Celestial Beasts.

It seemed that Perfected Lord Nether Star was not fooling around with them. The journey to the Western Desert from here would take several years, even at their speed.

In the past, the Abyss of Celestial Beasts was considered a dangerous area, filled with numerous aquatic demons and bizarre sea monsters.

But now, in the aftermath of the recent Demon Calamity, even if the aquatic demons in the sea below detected them, they likely wouldn’t dare to attack, fearing the backlash that they couldn’t withstand.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan only needed to be cautious of the less intelligent sea monsters.

Swoosh, swoosh—

Gliding over the sea, they soon left long white trails in the sky. And so, seasons changed, and years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day.

As the couple was about to leave the Abyss of Celestial Beasts, they suddenly detected a series of majestic palaces in their supreme senses.

These palaces radiated brilliant spiritual light, with ethereal celestial music lingering around them.

It was almost as if they were remnants of an ancient celestial palace. However, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, as if they hadn’t seen these palaces, continued forward without any pause or intention to turn towards them.

Finally.

After several more days, they emerged from the Abyss of Celestial Beasts and arrived on a landmass.

“This place, a million miles further west, should be the border of the Western Deserts,” Shen Ruyan observed, looking at the surrounding environment and then turning to Jiang Chengxuan.

“Yeah.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“Then let’s continue moving forward.”

As they spoke, the couple continued to fly into the distance. Shortly after their departure, several powerful and immense figures arrived at the spot where they had just been.

Among them, a silver dragon gazed in the direction where Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had disappeared, its voice tinged with regret.

“It’s a pity that they weren’t influenced by the mirage.

If they had been lured into it, no matter how strong they were, they would have been trapped there forever.”

“What a pity.”

The other enormous creatures present also sighed deeply at this missed opportunity.

A week later.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finally entered the Western Deserts. The spiritual Qi density here was similar to that of the Northern Border and the Southern Wilderness.

The notable difference was the temperature, significantly higher than in other regions of the Nine Essences Cultivation World, and the extent of desertification was much greater.

It was said that this was once a holy land for Buddhist cultivators.

Home to many monastic and lay Buddhist practitioners.

However, a long time ago, when the barriers of the Nine Essences Cultivation World were breached, external Demonic Beings descended into the Western Deserts, particularly targeting the then-dominant Buddhist sect, Temple of Serene Blossoms.

A fierce battle ensued, and the temple enveloped hundreds of thousands of miles in a sea of golden Buddhist light.

However, what the Temple of Serene Blossoms and the entire Western Desert Buddhist cultivators did not expect was that this battle would become the ultimate battle of all Buddhist cultivators.

Among the Demonic Beings were several late-stage demon lords. The Temple of Serene Blossoms called for reinforcements from all surrounding Soul Formation forces while using their foundation to summon the Dharma image of the Tathagata.

With great Dharmic powers and great supreme powers, the Tathagata forcefully exorcised the three late-stage Soul Formation Demon Lords.

However, the remaining demon lords burned their essence, eventually managing to connect to supreme beings beyond the realm.

In the final clash, the Temple of Serene Blossoms sacrificed the destiny of the Buddhist lineage, burning the foundation of all Buddhist cultivators in the Western Deserts to bury the invading Demonic Beings.

When other Soul Formation Heavenly Lords from different regions arrived, they found only ruins.

The Temple of Serene Blossoms, the once dominant power in the Western Deserts, was buried in that battle.

Since then, the lineage of Buddhist cultivation seemed to have lost its foundation.

Despite practicing Buddhist techniques, practitioners could no longer sense any Buddhist power or make progress.

Over time, the great battle faded into history.

The cultivation heritage of the Western Deserts evolved, and the Buddhist lineage disappeared.

The current dominant power in the Western Deserts was no longer Temple of Serene Blossoms but a sect called Sect of Infinite Boundaries, housing two Soul Formation Heavenly Lords, and was the unchallenged authority in the region.

At this moment.

At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, following the directions recorded in the jade slip given by Wu Bingyun, spent several months traveling and finally arrived at a gray-white valley- their destination, the Fallen Dragon Valley.

The spiritual Qi here was sparse, indicating that few cultivators visited this place.

Had they not known that Wu Bingyun’s information was accurate, they would have doubted the existence of any opportunity in such a place.

The couple searched the entire valley for several days but found nothing. It was only after several more days that they detected a very subtle spatial fluctuation in an inconspicuous location.

Could this be the entrance to a secret realm?

The couple looked at each other.

in the next moment, hundreds of array flags suddenly appeared in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand.

He placed these array flags in different directions.

In an instant, the hidden spatial fluctuations became more and more obvious. Without another word, Shen Ruyan took out several array discs and sealed off all the aura in the area. Then, she turned to Jiang Chengxuan and said, “Husband, if I’m not wrong, there should be an independent secret realm here. However, according to the current situation, we still have to spend some time to study how to open this mystic realm or find the entrance..
