As he spoke, the Five Elements Diagram suddenly flashed with light.
In the next moment, it transformed into a sword shimmering with a metallic luster, the very same Golden Void Sword from before.
Then, the form of the Golden Void Sword shifted again, morphing into the Deep Earth Halberd, the Eternal Sun Furnace, the East Green Dragon Flag, and the Yin-Yang Divine Water Jade, cycling through these transformations.
Eventually, it reverted back into a scroll and merged into Jiang Chengxuan’s forehead.
At the same time, a message suddenly came through the elder token Jiang Chengxuan carried.
The message urgently summoned all elders present within the sect to convene at the Elder Hall for a meeting.
“What’s happened now?” Jiang Chengxuan wondered, somewhat puzzled.
Without hesitation, his figure turned into a streak of light, flying directly towards the Elder Hall.
Along the way, Jiang Chengxuan did not conceal his aura.
Many disciples within the sect, sensing the distinct aura of the Celestial Radiance stage emanating from him, couldn’t help but show a look of awe on their faces.
If the Dharma Form stage’s Void Returning cultivators represented the middle to high echelons within the Haoran Sect, then the Celestial Radiance stage’s Void Returning cultivators stood as the true upper echelon and core strength of the sect.
Upon entering the Elder Hall, some familiar elders from the sect cast surprised looks towards Jiang Chengxuan.
“Junior Brother Jiang, you’ve broken through to the Celestial Radiance stage?”
Wen Tao, who had previously defended Heavenly Edge Immortal City alongside Jiang Chengxuan, approached him with a hint of astonishment.
“Yes, I encountered some opportunities during my travels outside and was fortunate enough to break through to the Celestial Radiance stage,” Jiang Chengxuan responded with a smile and a nod.
Hearing his words, Wen Tao, along with Hong Mei and others who were approaching, all displayed expressions of disbelief.
It seemed like it hadn’t been that long since Jiang Chengxuan had broken through to the Void Returning stage, and now he had already advanced to the Celestial Radiance stage?
Buzz!
While everyone was still marveling at Jiang Chengxuan’s breakthrough, two formidable presences suddenly descended upon the Elder Hall.
They were none other than Yuan Feng and Chi Yan, whom Jiang Chengxuan and others had seen before.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Yuan Feng and Senior Brother Chi Yan!”
Everyone immediately bowed respectfully.
The two Elders of the Seethrough stage, Yuan Feng and Chi Yan, nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Their gazes eventually settled on Jiang Chengxuan, both showing a hint of a smile and nodding towards him.
“It’s surprising that after a few hundred years, Junior Brother Jiang’s cultivation has reached the Celestial Radiance stage.
This is indeed a joyous occasion.
From now on, Junior Brother Jiang, your treatment will be in accordance with that of an elder of the Celestial Radiance stage.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan promptly expressed his gratitude, to which Yuan Feng and Chi Yan both shook their heads with a smile before moving on to the matter at hand.
“You must all be curious why we have summoned you here,” they began, piquing the interest of everyone present, including Jiang Chengxuan, Wen Tao, and Hong Mei.
Indeed.
At this moment, they were a little curious.
Why did Yuan Feng and Chi Yan gather all of them here?
Yuan Feng and Chi Yan’s expressions grew solemn as they revealed the reason for the gathering.
“We have summoned you all because our Haoran Sect has discovered a large Heavenly Crystal mine on the Xichuan Plains.”
“What? A large mine of Heavenly Crystals?”
The faces of everyone present showed a sudden change, clearly understanding the significance of such a discovery.
In the Spiritual World, Heavenly Crystals are the universal currency for all cultivators above Void Returning.
More importantly, within any large Heavenly Crystal vein, there is a likelihood of finding Heavenly Mystic Crystals, which are extremely valuable tribulation-averting treasures.
Yes, Heavenly Mystic Crystals are tribulation-averting treasures, typically valued between thirty thousand to fifty thousand Heavenly Crystals.
They are a precious resource that many ordinary Void Returning cultivators dream of acquiring but often cannot afford.
Moreover, every large Heavenly Crystal mine can be considered a sustainable, renewable resource.
As long as mining is conducted responsibly, without depleting the resource completely, new Heavenly Crystals will naturally regenerate within the mine over time.
This means that as long as there are no issues with the large Heavenly Crystal mine, the Haoran Sect could continuously obtain Heavenly Mystic Crystals, despite the long regeneration cycle.
For Void Returning cultivators, who only face heavenly tribulations every tens of thousands of years, waiting for this cycle is not a problem.
“But…” Elder Yuan Feng continued,
“We were not the only ones who discovered that large Heavenly Crystal mine.
Although our Haoran Sect was the first to find it, unfortunately, cultivators from other sects arrived afterward.
The exposure of this matter thus became inevitable.”
“What? Other sects have discovered the large Heavenly Crystal vein too?”
Jiang Chengxuan, Wen Tao, Hong Mei, and the other elders present all showed a change in expression.
No one understood better than them the magnitude of disturbance a large Heavenly Crystal mine could cause.
“May I ask Elder Yuan Feng, which other sects have discovered this large Heavenly Crystal mine?” asked an elder named Chen Fan, who was at the Celestial Radiance stage.
Hearing his question, everyone else’s gaze also turned towards Elder Yuan Feng.
“It was cultivators from the Eternal Sword Sect,” Elder Yuan Feng replied slowly.
“The Eternal Sword Sect’s cultivators?”
Upon hearing this name, all present slightly furrowed their brows.
Everyone was quite familiar with the Eternal Sword Sect.
It was also a super sect.
Although its foundation and overall strength were not as formidable as the Haoran Sect’s, they had a close relationship with the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, similar to the relationship between the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley.
If the Eternal Sword Sect were the only ones to have discovered the large Heavenly Crystal mine, they might not have disclosed this information to others, not even to the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.
But now, with the Haoran Sect also discovering the large Heavenly Crystal mine, and not being the first to do so, they had no right to claim it as their own.
Under these circumstances, everyone present was almost certain that the Eternal Sword Sect would inform the Five Elements Heavenly Sect about the discovery..
