Su Qingchan was surprised when she received a response from her Shifu, Everlasting Mountain, soon after reporting Jiang Chengxuan’s plan.
The reply was concise, simply stating, “Sure.”
Encouraged by this affirmation, she immediately gathered Sword Lord Azure Blue and Perfected Lord Wind Cloud, who were co-responsible for the defense with her, and briefed them on the plan.
Not long after.
The three peak Perfected Lords immediately began to make arrangements.
Twenty-eight years swiftly passed.
During this time, countless battles, both large and small, took place between the demonic cultivators and the human cultivators of the northern border.
The number of cultivators and demonic cultivators who fell in these battles was astoundingly high.
Even considering only the Nascent Soul cultivators, more than thirty had perished, and the number would be much higher if all casualties were accounted for.
From this, it could be seen that the number of cultivators and demonic cultivators who died below the Nascent Soul realm was definitely even greater.
At this moment.
In Jiang Chengxuan’s secluded cultivation cave abode, his aura had become terrifyingly powerful.
Elemental spiritual Qi furiously converged towards him, filling the space with a strange energy.
Not to mention outsiders, as long as they approached a radius of a thousand feet, they would probably be severely injured by the energy emitted here.
And this was the circumstances of Nascent Soul cultivators.
If it was a cultivator below Nascent Soul, they would probably be crushed into powder by the rampant energy.
Crack—
Finally.
After half a year, a sound like chains breaking echoed within Jiang Chengxuan’s cave abode.
It was also at this moment that the power in his body immediately erupted like a volcano. On the original foundation, it suddenly increased by several times.
With a light clench of his hand, the entire cave abode shook violently involuntarily.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that his strength was not as simple as taking a step forward.
It was a complete and earth-shattering change.
If previously he could easily overpower grand cultivators, now he could do the same to peak Nascent Soul cultivators.
It was not an exaggeration to say that as long as a Soul Formation cultivator did not appear, he would be the undisputed number one Nascent Soul cultivator.
This was the true combat strength that Jiang Chengxuan had after truly breaking through to the late-stage Nascent Soul.
He even suspected that even a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord could not kill him in one move.
Once his cultivation was stabilized, Jiang Chengxuan emerged from his cave abode and discovered that Shen Ruyan had already completed her seclusion, before him.
Sensing the powerful aura coming from the other party, a smile immediately appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.
“Congratulations, Wife. You have successfully advanced to the late-stage Nascent Soul and become a grand cultivator.”
Shen Ruyan rolled her eyes at him.
Soon, they exchanged insights on their cultivation progress.
It had to be said that the two of them had gained a lot from this seclusion.
Not only had their cultivation reached a new height, but even the divine powers they cultivated had increased greatly.
Especially for the future plans.
At this moment, the couple was full of confidence.
As they stepped outside, Dugu Baifei, Situ Xiang, Perfected Lord Vast River, and others congratulated them.
After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan asked about the situation over the years.
In fact, some things over the years were not out of their expectations.
After understanding everything, Jiang Chengxuan finally asked if Su Qingchan had contacted them recently.
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s question, Dugu Baifei and the others immediately nodded.
Perfected Lord Vast River said, “Not long ago, Fairy Su did send us a message to ask about your situation. She said that if you come out of seclusion, please contact her immediately.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
Soon, he took out a special jade talisman that Su Qingchan had given him.
As Jiang Chengxuan sent the message to Su Qingchan informing her of his and Shen Ruyan’s emergence from seclusion, a prompt response was received.
After reading Su Qingchan’s reply, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged a glance.
The two of them did not hide it from Perfected Lord Vast River and the others.
Jiang Chengxuan said, “In a month, Fairy Su, Fellow Daoist Wind Cloud, Fellow Daoist Azure Blue, and some other fellow Daoists will arrive at the Spiritual Island of the Vast River one after another.
At that time, we shall begin executing the plan we formulated almost thirty years ago.”
“Huh… ?”
This announcement surprised Dugu Baifei, Situ Xiang, and the others present. T
They hadn’t expected peak cultivators like Su Qingchan to all convene at their location.
For no reason, they felt an indescribable pressure.
As they waited, the days passed by.
Whoosh—
Finally, after about ten days, Su Qingchan was the first to arrive at the island.
In the following days.
Perfected Lord Wind Cloud, Sword Lord Azure Blue, and even Mo Tiancheng and the others in the Big Dipper Array arrived at the Spiritual Island of the Vast River one after another.
By the end of the month, the island had gathered nearly dozens of Perfected Lords, with nearly half of them being late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
At this moment.
Everyone’s attention turned to Jiang Chengxuan.
Su Qingchan asked, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, according to the plan we made thirty years ago, should we wait here for the demonic cultivators to come to us?”
Jiang Chengxuan, however, shook his head, “The general outline of our plan from thirty years ago remains the same, but the specific operations and details need to be adjusted and changed for the current situation.”
“Huh… ?”
This remark made everyone, including Su Qingchan, slightly surprised.
Jiang Chengxuan then took out a map, pointing out several locations, and explained,
“Fairy Su, Fellow Daoist Wind Cloud, Fellow Daoist Azure Blue.
“Look carefully. Currently, our entire battlefield situation is still in a state of complete defensive passivity, especially in the southwest and northeast areas, where the situation is particularly dire.
If we continue to wait for the enemy as planned thirty years ago, we won’t hold the initiative in this battle.”
“So, Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you suggesting that we join forces to rescue our allies in the southwest and northeast areas?” Wind Cloud speculated.
Jiang Chengxuan again shook his head.
“Not exactly. If we go to those areas now, although it’s slightly better than waiting for the enemy here, we might still end up being led by the nose.
For this battle, we need our own rhythm. Only then can we hope to turn the table.”
With that, he slammed his fist onto a particular area on the map. “Our next target is here..”
