Chapter 620: Returning to the Northern Border
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, traveling across regions by flight would take too much time and carried the risk of encountering dangers.
So.
If possible, they preferred to return to the Northern Border via a super large cross-region teleportation array.
Unexpectedly, shortly after their arrival at the teleportation array, a group of more than ten people, led by the brocade-robed man and the woman with a water-pattern mark on her forehead they had seen near the spatial realm, approached them.
Both of them, members of the Sect of Infinite Boundaries, were at the peak of Nascent Soul.
They immediately noticed Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, and a look of surprise flashed across their faces.
It was because the two of them sensed a faint threat from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
As peak Nascent Soul cultivators, they knew very well what this feeling meant.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were also surprised to encounter cultivators from the Sect of Infinite Boundaries here.
This was not to say that they knew each other. It was just that the clothes worn by the brocade-robed man and the others were the unique outfit of the Sect of Infinite Boundaries.
“Fellow Daoists,
I am Shui Xianlan of the Sect of Infinite Boundaries.
Are you guys trying to take the teleportation array to the Northern Border?”
The woman with the water mark between her eyebrows was the first to speak.
She looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and introduced the others with a smile.
“By the way, these are my junior brothers and sisters.
Perfected Lord Glowleaf, Liu Ling’er, and Perfected Lord Flying Crane.”
“So it’s Fellow Daoists from the Sect of Infinite Boundaries. Nice to meet you.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately smiled and returned the greeting.
“I’m Jiang Chuan. This is my Dao companion, Shen Yan.
We have indeed come here to see if we can use this teleportation array to go to the Northern Border.”
“I see.”
Shui Xianlan replied with a nod and a smile.
“It’s quite a coincidence, as we are also here to travel to the Northern Border.
If the two of you don’t mind, why don’t you join us?”
Upon hearing Shui Xianlan’s words, Perfected Lord Glowleaf, the brocade-robed man, and the others following her showed a slight change in their expressions, though they didn’t say anything.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were somewhat surprised.
They did not know why Shui Xianlan and the others were heading to the Northern Border.
Nevertheless, the opportunity to travel with them was a welcome surprise for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Jiang Chengxuan did not stand on ceremony and immediately cupped his fists in gratitude.
“In that case, thank you, Fellow Daoist Shui and Fellow Daoists.
I am just curious if there are any specific requirements for using this teleportation array?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were well aware that operating a super large cross-region teleportation array required a significant amount of spirit stones and resources.
Although she said that she was willing to let them take this super-large teleportation array with her, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were not shameless enough to take this teleportation array for nothing.
Shui Xianlan suggested, “Since we’ve met by fate, why not just give a symbolic amount, say thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones?”
“Thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were visibly taken aback, not because the amount was too much but because it was surprisingly low.
They knew that using such an array in the Northern Border would easily cost each person at least one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Right now, the other party only asked them to pay a total of thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones. This was actually not much different from letting them use it for nothing.
“Fellow Daoist Shui, you’re being too generous.
We’re already grateful to be able to use your sect’s teleportation array. How can we take advantage of this generosity?”
Seeing this, Shen Ruyan took out a storage ring containing two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones and handed it to Shui Xianlan and her group.
Seeing this, Shui Xianlan did not insist. Instead, she smiled and gestured for the person beside her to take it.
At their level of cultivation, two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, while not insignificant, were not excessively unaffordable.
Soon, the entire group ascended the super large cross-region teleportation array.
As the array activated, an incredibly bright light burst forth.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan experienced a blur in their vision, followed by a slight dizziness.
After a short time, when the teleportation ended, they reopened their eyes to find themselves back in the Northern Border, standing on the arrival platform.
Several Nascent Soul Perfected Lords from the Black Sea Pavilion were waiting for them, including Sword Lord Azure Blue, a direct disciple of Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean, who was surprised to see Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan appear with Shui Xianlan and her group.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fairy Shen, what are you…?”
Seeing Sword Lord Azure Blue greet Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, Perfected Lord Glowleaf and the others looked at each other in confusion.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t intend to hide it. Instead, they openly explained their encounter with Shui Xianlan and the others.
Sword Lord Azure Blue finally understood.
He nodded at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“I see.
By the way, Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fairy Shen, are you planning to go back next?
Or…?”
“Yes, we plan to go back first.
What’s wrong? Fellow Daoist Azure Blue, is there something at Black Sea Pavilion that requires our attention?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan knew that if there was nothing else, Sword Lord Azure Blue would definitely not ask them this.
Sword Lord Azure Blue thought for a moment and said,
“There are indeed some matters.
But since you’re heading back first, you can visit our Black Sea Pavilion when you have time.
My Shifu also wishes to meet you.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan nodded.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jiang and Shen bid farewell to Sword Lord Azure Blue and Shui Xianlan’s group.
Watching Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan leave, Sword Lord Azure Blue immediately turned to Perfected Lord Glowleaf and the others and smiled.
“Fairy Shui, Fellow Daoist Glowleaf, you’ve come from afar. Why don’t you come with me to my Black Sea Pavilion first?
It just so happens that my Shifu also wants to see you.”
“Since Senior Infinite Ocean invited us, we should naturally pay him a visit.”
Shui Xianlan immediately replied with a smile.
After some time, Shui Xianlan and her group, accompanied by Sword Lord Azure Blue, were heading towards the Black Sea Pavilion.
On the way.
Shui Xianlan couldn’t resist her curiosity and asked Azure Blue,
“Fellow Daoist Azure Blue, I wonder where Fellow Daoist Jiang Chuan and Fellow Daoist Shen Yan came from?
Senior Infinite Ocean actually thinks so highly of them.”
“Jiang Chuan? Shen Yan?”
Hearing how she addressed Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, Sword Lord Azure Blue’s expression immediately became a little strange.
However, he didn’t expose the couple. Instead, he smiled and said,
“As you must have sensed during your journey with them, Fellow Daoist Jiang and Shen are no ordinary Peak Nascent Soul cultivators.
At least, my Shifu regards them as equals.”
“What?”
Hearing Sword Lord Azure Blue’s words, shock appeared on the faces of Perfected Lord Glowleaf and the others.
They were well aware that being regarded as an equal by a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord meant that Jiang and Shen were extraordinary.
It was possible they were individuals who had already taken a significant step into Soul Formation.
They did not expect the two people they met by chance to be so extraordinary.
Fortunately, from the beginning to the end, their attitude was relatively good.
Letting them ride the teleportation array was more or less a form of good karma.
Shui Xianlan, Perfected Lord Glowleaf and the others could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
They had already made up their mind that if there was a chance, they would take the initiative to visit those two.
At the same time.
After parting ways with Shui Xianlan’s group, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan began their journey back to the state of Jiang.
Using various teleportation arrays and their own speed, they didn’t take long to reach the State of Jiang.
The couple’s departure did not seem long, but in total, it had been decades.
Over the decades, the State of Jiang had undergone significant changes.
There were more cultivators coming and going, and the number of shops opened had clearly increased.
Most importantly, the essence, qi, and spirit in everyone’s bodies had increased significantly compared to the time when the Demon Calamity had just ended.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could clearly feel that the foundation of the entire State of Jiang had more than doubled compared to before.
From this, it could be seen that in the past few decades, the Jiang family had not relaxed their governance.
The couple walked around the entire state.
When they returned to Mount Mystic Tai, there was already a group of Jiang family cultivators waiting on Xuanming Peak.
Clearly.
Previously, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not deliberately hide their auras when they were inspecting the state.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at the group of Jiang family cultivators who had appeared in front of them.
They were especially glad to see the developments that had taken place on their personal disciple, Jiang Anran.
“It seems that you haven’t slacked off in your cultivation all these years.
Everyone has improved to varying degrees.
Especially you, Anran…”
At this point, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but look at Jiang Anran..
