This included another Dharma treasure with a fire attribute that he had not yet refined, the Eternal Blazing Sun Furnace.
The collection of information about the Eternal Sky Crystal should also be expedited.
Next is the collection of Level 5 five-element spells.
Like searching for those materials, he needed the Jiang family to investigate information for him.
When there was concrete information, either he or Shen Ruyan would personally take action.
Apart from these, there was also the matter of the protective array.
When the time was right, he also needed to consider upgrading the current mountain protection array to Level 5-
After sorting out all these matters in his mind, Jiang Chengxuan was just about to assign these tasks to Jiang Renyi when Shen Ruyan, who had been in seclusion, suddenly appeared behind him.
This made Jiang Chengxuan’s expression instantly joyful. He turned his head and smiled, “Wife, you’ve come out of seclusion? How was it? What did you gain?”
“Yes, the gains are not bad.”
Shen Ruyan smiled and nodded at Jiang Chengxuan, then raised her hand.
A large umbrella, emitting a purple electric light all over, appeared in Shen
Ruyan’s hand.
“Hmm, what is this?”
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed.
He saw Shen Ruyan smiling and nodding again, saying, “This is Level 5 lightning-type True Treasure formed using the Earth Lightning Fruit, named the Thundercloud Electric Umbrella. It is a True Treasure that combines defense and attack.”
According to Shen Ruyan, when this Thundercloud Electric Umbrella was fully activated, it could erupt with extremely powerful thunderous energy. It could be used to defend against attacks and could transform into a formidable purple thunderbolt for offensive purposes.
In addition, the consumption of the Heaven Lightning Fruit yielded even greater gains. It not only enhanced her existing divine power, the Five Elements Divine Lightning, by several degrees but also elevated the power of her Thunder Spirit True Body to another level.
Moreover, she also comprehended a new lightning-type divine power named the Seven Star Thunder God Spear.
By using the power of the seven stars in the sky, she could transform it into a thunder spear. It was currently her strongest offensive means besides the Five Elements Divine Lightning, Thunder Spirit True Body, and the True Lightning
Divine Seal.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the two fruits almost raised Shen Ruyan’s overall strength by several levels.
As expected of fruits that only appeared every eight hundred years; its effects were truly extraordinary.
While the couple was communicating, a communication talisman from the family leader, Jiang Renyi, suddenly fell into Jiang Chengxuan’s hands.
After looking at the message, Jiang Chengxuan smiled and said to Shen Ruyan, “People from various sects have arrived. They want to congratulate us on advancing to Nascent Soul. Let’s go and see them together.
Upon hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Shen Ruyan nodded.
Soon, the couple arrived together in the meeting hall of the Jiang family.
At this moment in the hall.
Almost all the high-level figures of the Cangnan Alliance had gathered here.
In fact.
Since the day they felt Shen Ruyan advance to Nascent Soul, they had wanted to come here to congratulate her.
However, at that time, neither Jiang Chengxuan nor Shen Ruyan had time to receive them. Therefore, this matter had been delayed until now.
At this moment, when everyone saw the two Nascent Soul Perfected Lords, each and every one of them respectfully bowed and said, “Greetings, Perfected Lords!
Congratulations on condensing a Nascent Soul. From now on, Immortality is within your reach.”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and raised his hand, lightly helping the bowing people
up.
In an instant, everyone present felt a very gentle but irresistible Dharmic power falling on them, making them involuntarily straighten their bodies.
They were somewhat shocked.
Especially those cultivators who encountered Perfected Lords for the first time were even more astonished.
Is this the strength that Nascent Soul Perfected Lords possess?
Simply…
Unfathomable!
Following that, they immediately presented their congratulatory gifts.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan naturally would not refuse.
Even though the gifts sent by them had no use to the current Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the couple wouldn’t decline their good intention.
When all the gifts were given, Hou Dongbai from the Jade Water Sword Pavilion took the lead in speaking.
“Perfected Lords, now that you have reached Nascent Soul, it is truly a great thing for our entire Cangnan Region and also a great thing for the Cangnan Alliance.
However, forgive me for being bold to suggest. In my humble opinion, since we now have you two, it is not suitable to continue as an alliance.”
When these words were spoken, the expressions of some people present immediately changed.
Obviously, they were not entirely sure what he meant.
Even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but glance at each other, revealing a hint of interest in their eyes.
At this moment, Hou Dongbai continued,
“In my humble opinion, now that we have two seniors in the Cangnan Region, I suggest establishing a state!”
BOOM!
As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone present changed, one after another. Many people started looking at each other and whispering among each other.
Apparently, they did not expect that Pavilion Master Hou would propose such a matter to the couple.
Establishing a state was an extremely significant matter.
Once established, it meant, as Hou Dongbai expressed, that the entire Cangnan Region would truly be united as one, rather than just being loosely united as an alliance.
All the people present would have to genuinely consider Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan as their masters unconditionally.
If, in the past, the Cangnan Alliance was still a relatively loose organization, then once the state was established, the entire Cangnan Region would truly form a complete and unified territory.
When outsiders mentioned it, it would no longer be called an alliance, but rather a certain state, just like the state of Yu, the state of Kang, and the state of Hai.
Moreover, for Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and even their entire Jiang family, establishing a state had an advantage that they couldn’t ignore.
That advantage was the heavenly opportunity.
By consolidating the previously scattered Cangnan Region into one, it would undoubtedly attract a large amount of heavenly opportunity.
In the future, as long as the integrated Southern Region developed better, the more people there were and the more prosperous it was, the more heavenly opportunities would descend.
This was something that any cultivator aspiring for Immortality and ascension could not ignore or give up.
In other words, from the moment Hou Dongbai proposed it, this matter was already decided.
To put it even more bluntly, even if Hou Dongbai didn’t bring it up today, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would undoubtedly not allow the current situation to continue.
They were definitely going to establish a state.
At this moment, many cultivators present couldn’t help but look at Hou Dongbai with envy and jealousy.
Why was it him who said those words just now, and not themselves?
They regretted it terribly..
