Chapter 829: Heading to Heavenly Pillar City and Meeting Shen Ruyan
Editor: Henyee Translations
A few years later.
Jiang Chengxuan, who was in his cave abode, suddenly received a message from his Shifu, Qin Shenwu.
He was asked to go to a place called Heavenly Pillar City to provide support.
At that time, his Dao companion, Shen Ruyan, would also go to that place.
Their mission was to ensure that Heavenly Pillar City was not invaded by the demonic path.
Soon, Jiang Chengxuan learned that a huge battle was breaking out between Heavenly Pillar City and the Demonic Path’s Joyous Union Valley.
So far, the Heavenly Pillar City was temporarily at a disadvantage.
However, with the Heavenly Pillar City’s defensive array, there was no risk of being broken through.
Of course, if they could take this opportunity to severely injure or even kill a few cultivators from the Joyous Union Valley, that would be the best.
Jiang Chengxuan naturally had no objections to his Shifu’s arrangement.
Soon, he went to the sect’s Elder Hall to accept his mission.
Then, he flew towards Heavenly Pillar City alone.
At this moment, Shen Ruyan was also going to the Heavenly Pillar City with him.
She had also received a message from her Shifu asking her to go to the Heavenly Pillar City to provide support with her Dao companion, Jiang Chengxuan.
Some days later.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan met tens of thousands of kilometers away from Heavenly Pillar City.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the two of them naturally could not help but engage in a conversation.
However, at this moment, they could not say much.
Because at this moment, the Joyous Union Valley attacked the Heavenly Pillar City.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes narrowed.
The two of them quickly realized that there were a total of five Celestial Radiance stage cultivators and more than ten Void Returning Dharma Form cultivators attacking Heavenly Pillar City.
According to the other party’s lineup, as long as nothing unexpected happened, there shouldn’t be much of a problem in Heavenly Pillar City.
However, the two of them quickly realized that among the many cultivators from the Joyous Union Valley, there was actually a Celestial Radiance stage cultivator who had comprehended the true essence of a rule.
A Celestial Radiance cultivator of this level could almost crush ordinary Celestial Radiance cultivators.
This information had never been mentioned in the previous news.
This also meant that the Joyous Union Valley cultivator who had comprehended the true essence of a rule was very likely to have just arrived here like them.
“Darling, what do you think we should do next?”
Shen Ruyan turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan thought for a moment and said, “If possible, I want to take down all of them. What do you think, Wife?”
Indeed.
With their strength, if they cooperated with the cultivators in Heavenly Pillar City, it would not be a big problem for them to take down all these people from the Joyous Union Valley.
This was because to them, it was only the cultivator from the Joyous Union Valley who had comprehended the true essence of a rule that was slightly troublesome.
As for the rest, there was nothing to be afraid of.
“I have no objections.”
Shen Ruyan nodded.
The couple did not rush into action; instead, they waited for the right moment.
Just like that, time slowly passed.
The Heavenly Pillar City’s side had already activated the protective array.
The five Celestial Radiance stage cultivators from Joyous Union Valley, along with a host of other cultivators, launched a fierce attack on Heavenly Pillar City.
Under normal circumstances, such an attack from Joyous Union Valley would likely yield little success.
However, at this moment, a man from Joyous Union Valley, known as the Divine Lord Celestial Harmony, suddenly showed a look of concern in his eyes. Immediately afterward, the surroundings dramatically transformed.
Countless figures of men and women appeared between heaven and earth, launching a simultaneous assault on Heavenly Pillar City’s protective array. Boom, boom, boom!
In that instant, the protective array of Heavenly Pillar City showed signs of faltering.
The Celestial Radiance cultivators in charge of the city’s defense changed their expressions.
One of them, a man named Fan Tianian, exclaimed, “What’s happening? Since when did Divine Lord Celestial Harmony possess such power?”
“Oh no!”
Another, known as Divine Lord Righteous Sun, turned pale with shock.
At that moment, the attack from Divine Lord Celestial Harmony carried a strange power, causing a brief moment of dizziness among everyone present, and the entire protective array violently shook.
“True essence of a rule, that’s the true essence of a rule!”
Suddenly, a cultivator within Heavenly Pillar City cried out in alarm.
Hearing this, both Fan Tianian and Divine Lord Righteous Sun’s pupils shrank. As Celestial Radiance cultivators, no one understood better than them the vast chasm that existed between a Celestial Radiance cultivator who had comprehended the true essence of a rule and one who had not.
It was no exaggeration to say that if they were to confront Divine Lord Celestial Harmony now, they would have little confidence in their survival.
“Things are getting troublesome now,” was the thought unbidden in nearly everyone’s heart within Heavenly Pillar City.
On the opposite side, the Joyous Union Valley forces were invigorated, especially the Dharma Form cultivators among them.
Before setting out, they had no inkling that their Divine Lord Celestial Harmony had comprehended the true essence of a rule.
With such a revelation, their hesitation vanished, and they all exerted their full strength.
As a result, the lights of the array above Heavenly Pillar City flickered intensely.
Fan Tianian, Divine Lord Righteous Sun, and the others within felt an immense pressure bearing down on them.
“Wasn’t it said that reinforcements would arrive soon? Why haven’t the supporting cultivators arrived yet?” Divine Lord Righteous Sun couldn’t help but voice out.
Hearing his words, Fan Tianian and the others also harbored doubts, but it was clear that this was not the time to dwell on such concerns.
The immediate priority was to stabilize the protective array.
Boom, boom, boom!
As the array’s lights trembled more violently, sweat broke out on the brows of Fan Tianian and Divine Lord Righteous Sun.
Fortunately, at that moment, a massive halberd light from the horizon and a sword light flashing with five-colored lightning swept toward Divine Lord Celestial Harmony and his group with a thunderous roar.
“What?”
Divine Lord Celestial Harmony and the others, who were fully focused on assaulting Heavenly Pillar City, suddenly sensed the danger from behind and were taken aback.
They hurriedly turned around, only to see their vision filled with endless halberd light and sword light.
The terrifying power made many of the Joyous Union Valley cultivators freeze in mid-air, unable to move.
“Rule essence, this is the true essence of a rule!”
Suddenly, among the Joyous Union Valley cultivators, a Celestial Radiance cultivator shouted in horror, recognizing the nature of the attack..
