“For the life-saving grace you have shown me and the kindness towards Xue’er, I would find it difficult to be at peace if I didn’t repay you.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both felt their hearts tremble upon hearing this. Their eyes widened in surprise.
“This…”
For a moment, Shen Ruyan didn’t know how to respond, simply looking at Elder Su in astonishment.
“Please, do not refuse this old woman’s goodwill,” Elder Su continued, her expression serious. “This Immortal’s Blessed Land has existed for a long time and will inevitably reveal itself in due time. My daughter and I lack the cultivation to seize it. Rather than let others benefit, it’s better to entrust it to you two.”
Feng Xue immediately chimed in, “Yes, Brother Jiang! Elder Shen! If you don’t accept, I will also be troubled.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances, their brows furrowed. After a moment of consideration, they solemnly nodded to the mother and daughter.
“The secret of the Immortal’s Blessed Land is indeed significant. Even for me, it represents a great opportunity. Although it is such, I still feel unworthy. These elixirs will serve as my repayment. Please, do not decline.”
With that, Jiang Chengxuan generously took out several high-grade elixirs and presented them to the pair, summoning a breeze to carry the glowing, radiant pills and jade bottles into their hands.
“This… this is too much…”
Elder Su hesitated.
“Elder Su, please accept it,” Shen Ruyan said softly. “Otherwise, we would feel guilty for accepting your kindness.”
Relenting, Elder Su nodded and began to recount the secret. The key to the Immortal’s Blessed Land lay within the mysterious artifact Feng Xue had.
It was the same artifact that had led to Feng Xue being abandoned in the Wanxing Immortal Domain when Elder Su and her partner discovered it. This artifact had enabled their rise from mere mortals to celestial beings.
Upon discovering more about the artifact, they learned about the Immortal’s Blessed Land. However, their possession of the artifact brought disaster.
A mysterious force sought to steal it, leading to constant assassination attempts. Elder Su’s partner died protecting her, and their newborn daughter, Feng Xue, was sent away with the artifact for safety. This event shattered their family, and Elder Su had to hide her identity while Feng Xue wandered alone until their recent reunion.
“Succeed or fail, all because of this artifact…”
Elder Su sighed, her expression a mix of nostalgia, relief, and acceptance. The events were so distant that she might have never revisited them if not for Feng Xue’s sudden reappearance.
“Elder Su…”
Moved, Shen Ruyan held Elder Su’s hand in comfort. Elder Su smiled and shook her head, signaling that there was no need to worry.
“This is the artifact related to the Immortal’s Blessed Land.”
Feng Xue solemnly took out a nine-colored mysterious stone. It was inscribed with ancient runes and emitted an aura reminiscent of primordial times. Even with Jiang Chengxuan’s cultivation, he could sense countless changes occurring within it, hinting at the power of the primordial era.
“What information does this artifact contain about the Blessed Land?”
“There is a seal within the artifact that has been fluctuating recently. The information is likely hidden there.”
Feng Xue handed the artifact to Jiang Chengxuan, who accepted it and carefully examined it. Channeling his divine sense into the nine-colored stone, he saw a primordial universe, with lands forming from chaotic explosions.
Rules of creation emerged, birthing the cosmos. Suddenly, a primordial gate appeared, blocking further insight. Realizing the seal wasn’t too powerful, Jiang Chengxuan activated the ancient runes with his celestial power. Soon, a mystical wave erupted, and the gate opened, releasing primordial energy and celestial light into his consciousness.
“Humm—”
A flood of information about the Immortal’s Blessed Land surged into Jiang Chengxuan’s mind. After a while, he withdrew his consciousness and returned to the present.
“How was it, husband?” Shen Ruyan asked with concern.
Jiang Chengxuan smiled, returning the artifact to Feng Xue before explaining, “The information is indeed within. The Blessed Land was left by an ancient celestial being named Chuxuan. It wasn’t created by him but is a fragment from the beginning of the universe that fell into the Xuanyuan Immortal Domain, discovered by Chuxuan, who used it as a training ground. The nine-colored stone originated from there.”
Jiang Chengxuan’s explanation answered everyone’s questions. The mention of primordial forces left the three women in awe, their eyes shining with excitement.
For Elder Su, this revelation solved the mystery that had shaped her life.
…
After learning about the Blessed Land, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan began meticulous preparations, gathering elixirs and treasures. A few years later, without a sound, the two left the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, heading toward a place called the Western Black Sea, on the western edge of the Xuanyuan Immortal Domain.
The Western Black Sea was infamous for its danger, composed of a black ocean made from a mysterious liquid filled with countless erratic and malevolent dao laws, birthing numerous strange and evil beings. Many cultivators had explored it, but few returned.
It was said that at the sea’s edge lay a void, with a waterfall leading to another world. Falling into this abyss meant being engulfed by the black sea, unable to escape, destined for reincarnation.
Before setting out, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had thoroughly investigated these tales, suspecting that the origins of the Western Black Sea were linked to the primordial fragment.
