Chapter 87: Revealing the Secret
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When he came out, Jiang Chengxuan realized that Shen Ruyan had yet to come out of seclusion.
However, from the fluctuations emitted from the quiet room she was in, she should be at a critical moment.
Therefore, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t go anywhere else. Instead, he waited outside Shen Ruyan’s cultivation room and began to guard her.
Half a year later.
Jiang Chengxuan, who was outside the cultivation room, suddenly turned to look at the door.
At the same time.
There was a click.
The door of Shen Ruyan’s cultivation room was slowly opened.
Jiang Chengxuan immediately noticed that the aura on Shen Ruyan’s body suddenly became a little ethereal.
Vaguely, it gave off an indescribable pressure on people.
However, he could clearly sense that at this moment, her cultivation had yet to advance to the Violet Palace Realm.
“Husband…”
Seeing that Jiang Chengxuan was guarding her outside, a smile bloomed on Shen Ruyan’s beautiful face.
“Thank you for guarding me.”
Jiang Chengxuan immediately smiled and shook his head.
“Wife, what are you saying? This is nothing. Besides, there’s no need to be so polite between us.”
“Yes.”
Shen Ruyan nodded with a smile.
It was obvious that she was in a good mood.
“By the way, husband, how’s your harvest?”
“Not bad.”
Jiang Chengxuan didn’t hide it from Shen Ruyan. Instead, he told her everything he had gained from his seclusion period.
When Shen Ruyan heard that, her beautiful eyes lit up.
She looked at Jiang Chengxuan and couldn’t help but praise,
“I really didn’t expect you to gain so much during this period of seclusion.
Right now, you’re only at the seventh level, but you already have the strength to threaten a Violet Palace Realm cultivator. In the future, when your cultivation level increases, you’ll definitely be even more extraordinary.” “Don’t just talk about me. How is your harvest?”
Jiang Chengxuan teased with a smile.
“Just now, I almost thought that you had already broken through to the Violet Palace Realm.”
Shen Ruyan smiled and shook her head.
“Although I haven’t broken through to the Violet Palace Realm, I’ve already successfully fused the Lightning Stone into the Thunderbolt Lightning Fire Sword and completely activated its quality as a Level 3 Dharma treasure.
With it, I’m really not afraid of ordinary Violet Palace Realm cultivators.”
In fact.
During the demon beast riot, she had successfully killed the heavily injured Level 3 demon beast, the Stealthy Bat, with the Thunderbolt Lightning Fire Sword, which was only a Level 3 Dharma treasure embryo.
Now that her Thunderbolt Lightning Fire Sword had completely reached the power of a Level 3 Dharma treasure, her true combat strength should be more than twice as strong as before.
It was just unknown how far she was from advancing to the Violet Palace Realm.
Shen Ruyan didn’t hide it from Jiang Chengxuan.
“Actually, if I want to break through to the Violet Palace Realm now, I can do it at any time.
However, I don’t want to break through to the Violet Palace Realm so rashly. Before that, I still need something.”
“Something?”
Jiang Chengxuan was stunned.
“Yes.”
Shen Ruyan nodded.
“It’s the Lightning Pool under the jurisdiction of the North Cloud Sect.”
“The Lightning Pool under the jurisdiction of the North Cloud Sect?”
“That’s right.
Only by advancing to the Violet Palace Realm there can 1 truly perfectly forge the foundation of my Lightning Body.
Back then, because of my single lightning spiritual root, I could not advance further. In the end, I chose to go through tribulation and re-cultivate.
Before I enter the tribulation, I prepared the Lightning Pool for myself in the next life to open up my potential.”
From then on, she finally revealed a portion of her secrets to Jiang Chengxuan.
Although she was still a disciple of the Shen Immortal Family under the Ganyang Sect of the Yun Nation, after her memories of her previous life were awakened, Jiang Chengxuan knew that many things were completely different now.
This also explained why the current Shen Ruyan was so different from the Shen Ruyan he knew at the beginning.
This was not only a change in personality, but also knowledge, experience, bearing, and all the qualities one obtained from hundreds of years of cultivation. It was definitely not something a mere disciple of the Violet Palace Realm Family could possess.
In short, although the current Shen Ruyan still looked the same, in some aspects, she was no longer the previous Shen Ruyan.
This sounded a little tongue-twisting, but it was the fact.
She was both her and not her.
“In that case, could it be that the reason why you were born in the cultivation world of the Yun Nation back then was related to the arrangements in your previous life?”
Jiang Chengxuan suddenly thought of this question and immediately asked.
“I think so.”
Shen Ruyan nodded slightly.
She continued, “In fact, with my cultivation at that time, I couldn’t control the location at which I wanted to be reborn.”
I could only predict a rough range of my rebirth, but I couldn’t accurately specify where I would be born.
Moreover, there were many uncertain factors.
Even now, some of my memories are still sealed.
For example, among the opportunities I had prepared for this life in my previous life, so far, I only remembered the existence of the Lightning Pool.
Because it concerns the foundation of my cultivation, it was unsealed the moment my memory recovered.”
At this point, she suddenly looked at Jiang Chengxuan and asked,
“Husband, do you know why I told you that you and I are actually the same kind of people?”
“Yes, why?”
He was really curious about Shen Ruyan’s question.
“Simple.”
Shen Ruyan smiled.
“Because you and I are both people who have a chance of becoming immortals in the future.
I can sense the balanced aura of the five elements from you. This is a manifest that only people with true five-element spiritual roots can have. It’s also the best aptitude to become an immortal.
It’s different from those people who have imbalanced five elements, which is called the false five-element spiritual roots.
Because of balance, the five elements can coexist harmoniously and establish a foundation for the Great Dao.
As for me, although I only have a single lightning spiritual root now, I have a backup plan that I had long prepared in my previous life. Moreover, I have yet to break through to the Violet Palace Realm, so I still have a chance to reconstruct my spiritual roots.
As long as I go to the Lightning Pool and use it to absorb the other elements, I can transform my lightning spiritual root into lightning spiritual root with balanced five elements.”
Shen Ruyan’s words were almost identical to the information he had obtained from the system that day.
It had to be known that in the current Nine Essences cultivation world, not many people knew about the true five-element spiritual root.
Even if someone knew the existence of it, they would not be able to identify it, let alone nurture it.
All of this stemmed from the lack of the corresponding cultivation technique.
However, looking at Shen Ruyan now, she seemed to be very confident about everything she said.
This also made Jiang Chengxuan deeply realize a problem. His Dao companion’s identity in her previous life probably far exceeded his imagination.
As if she could tell what her Dao companion was thinking, she couldn’t help but look at Jiang Chengxuan and smile.
“Husband, there are some things that I will naturally tell you when the time comes.
I’m not telling you now because I don’t want to affect your mental state.
I hope you can understand this..”
