A hundred years of cultivating immortals, I'm dying, and Goldfinger came here

The treasures of Golden Immortals are certainly an important factor influencing battles between Golden Immortals.
However, this doesn't mean that the more the better. After all, even a Golden Immortal has a limit to the amount of immortal power they can unleash.

There is also an upper limit to the number of Golden Immortal-level treasures that can be used simultaneously.

Jiang Chengxuan himself already possessed the Myriad Ages Manifestation Scripture, the Primordial Chaos Sword, and the Nine Wonders Bodhi Lotus Lamp.

Even the four Golden Immortal treasures, including the dilapidated Heavenly Light Scroll, combined with each other, are enough to push combat power to its peak!
Two more items would have negligible effect; it would be better to give them to Shen Ruyan to maximize their utility.

As for Shen Ruyan herself, who is only at the Xuanxian realm, how to use the three Golden Immortal treasures, there is already a solution.

Jiang Chengxuan had already realized that Shen Ruyan had cultivated to the peak of the Xuanxian realm.

You can try to break through to the Golden Immortal realm!
And with the spoils left behind by the Blood Demon Immortal, and the current strength of the Vast Profound Sect,

Helping Shen Ruyan break through to the Golden Immortal realm would not be a problem.

"Since my husband has said so, I can only accept it with gratitude."

Finally, Shen Ruyan softly put away both Golden Immortal treasures.

The two spent a little more time together in the main hall, finished their business together, and then left the hall.

In the time that followed, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan naturally enjoyed another period of peace and quiet.

Jiang Chengxuan imparted his insights and understanding of the Golden Immortal realm to Shen Ruyan every day, helping her prepare for breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.

"I feel I am absolutely certain."

Until one day, Shen Ruyan said to Jiang Chengxuan with resolute eyes, "After experiencing this period of time..."
She has completely adjusted herself to her peak condition and is ready to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

"Very well! Since Madam is satisfied, then so be it!"

Jiang Chengxuan didn't say much in response, only expressing his complete trust.

Breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm is just an ordinary thing in cultivation.

So, accompanied by Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ru entered the place where he had previously broken through to the Golden Immortal realm.

Within it, both protective formations and spiritual energy-gathering arrays were already fully prepared.

"Madam, please don't push yourself. If anything unexpected happens, try again next time."

"No, my husband, just wait for my good news."

"Hehe! Of course, I have always believed that your talent is no less than mine."

They knew that this seclusion would be followed by a separation of thousands of years, so before Shen Ruyan began her attempt to break through,
The two remained dependent on each other for a long time before finally saying goodbye.

Several days later, when the immense immortal energy covered the entire heartland of the Vast Profound Sect,

Jiang Chengxuan was left all alone, quietly waiting within the sect.

"Ancestor! People from the Heavenly Profound Sect have arrived!"

However, a sudden piece of news shattered Jiang Chengxuan's tranquility.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chengxuan frowned slightly as he looked at the Haoran Xuanzong elder who had come to report the news.
The delegation from Zhetian Xuanzong had already left this territory long ago, so why would someone suddenly come to visit?

"okay, I get it."

Without much hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan waved his hand, dismissing the elder who had reported.

Although this visitor was unusual, the two sides did have some connection, as they were both from major sects who frequently encountered each other.
The other party is even stronger, and if they have any requests, Jiang Chengxuan should meet with them.

Passing by palaces and towers, amidst celestial forests and rosy clouds, and jade mountains and precious pavilions, Jiang Chengxuan stood alone.
They arrived at the welcoming hall of the Haoran Xuanzong sect.

Inside the main hall, three elders of their own clan were seated, conversing with an immortal they had never met before.

Needless to say, he was a visitor to the Zhetian Xuanzong sect.

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan arrived, the attention of everyone in the hall was immediately drawn to him.

The three elders of the Vast Profound Sect immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Welcome, Ancestor!"

"Ah."

Jiang Chengxuan nodded, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. They bowed to the unfamiliar immortal and then withdrew.

Thus, in this vast palace, only Jiang Chengxuan and that immortal from the Zhetian Xuanzong remained.

"Hehe, Ancestor Haoran, it's been a long time."

At this moment, the immortal from the Zhetian Xuanzong sect spoke up, smiling as he stood up and bowed, breaking the silence.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan, not one to mince words, cut straight to the point and asked with a smile:
"Your Excellency, envoy of the Zhetian Xuanzong, have graced my Haoran Xuanzong with your presence. May I ask what brings you here?"

The person in front of me was someone I had met with Jiang Chengxuan once before, in the delegation that was selecting disciples for the Zhetian Xuanzong.

"Alas! I have come on orders and have disturbed Patriarch Jiang's meditation. Please forgive me!"

During this exchange, the messenger displayed an extremely obsequious expression, speaking with great emotion and eloquence.

Upon seeing his demeanor, Jiang Chengxuan immediately understood that he had indeed come with a request.

So he didn't say much, just smiled calmly, looked at the envoy, and found a place to sit down.

This gesture was clearly intended to let the messenger continue speaking, implying that he did not want to waste any more time.

"Well, I've come here today to discuss the matter of the Deep Earth Forbidden Zone. I wonder if Jiang Zu has received any news about it?"

The envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong sect was also a keen observer of people's expressions. Seeing Jiang Chengxuan's reaction,

He gave an awkward laugh, but didn't waste any time, and stated the purpose of his trip directly.

"Oh?"

This sentence piqued Jiang Chengxuan's interest, and curiosity appeared in his eyes.

He had only recently returned from the ancient Golden Immortal's cave and hadn't had time to deal with recent events.
Listening to what the immortal from the Heavenly Profound Sect said, I had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.

Under these circumstances, the envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong sect became interested in Jiang Chengxuan.

Thinking of his mission, he smiled broadly and poured out everything at once:

"The ancient forbidden zone should be familiar to Jiang Zu. It is an incredibly mysterious and strange place that has existed since the beginning of the entire ancient world."

"Within the forbidden zone, all the laws of the universe are distorted, especially in its depths. Even if a Golden Immortal forces his way in,..."

They will also encounter enormous dangers.

"And the Deep Earth Forbidden Zone is the closest forbidden zone to our ancient territory, just the nearest one,"
"Our ancestors of the Heavenly Profound Sect seem to have discovered some problems."

It was only after the envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong explained that Jiang Chengxuan finally understood why the Zhetian Xuanzong had sent someone to find him.

It turns out that there have been frequent riots and strange occurrences recently in that deep, forbidden area.

So the Tianxuan Sect sent people to investigate, but they suffered repeated losses.

The forbidden zone is the most taboo and mysterious place in the ancient world, its dangers unimaginable.

However, opportunities often arise, frequently attracting desperate criminals to break in.

Even the Zhetian Xuanzong sect has benefited greatly from the forbidden zones, and has a dedicated organization responsible for exploring them and obtaining resources from them. Therefore, they are quite familiar with the forbidden zones.

In this context, facing the successive losses within the forbidden zone, the Zhetian Xuanzong sect clearly sensed a certain signal.

Immediately afterwards, they dispatched Golden Immortals from within the sect to suppress the strange phenomenon within the forbidden zone.

But to everyone's surprise, the Golden Immortal expert in the sect almost didn't return after being sent there!
When he returned to the sect, he was severely injured and had also been infected by some strange phenomenon within the forbidden area.

Being in a coma is equivalent to becoming a puppet!
Immediately, the entire Zhetian Xuanzong sect was shaken, and the high-ranking elders felt a great sense of foreboding.

That forbidden zone isn't too far from the Zhetian Xuanzong Sect. If any calamity were to erupt, it would be a terrible destruction!

You must know what kind of power a Golden Immortal possesses, yet even he was defeated in this strange event in the forbidden zone!
Throughout the history of the ancient realm, countless immortal sects have been destroyed due to riots in forbidden zones!
That's a place where miracles can happen, and it can also cause destruction!

"So, you now want to gather Golden Immortal cultivators from various nearby immortal sects to suppress the riot in the forbidden zone?"

With a solemn expression, before the envoy could finish speaking, Jiang Chengxuan asked the envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong sect in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, the envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong sect was initially shocked, then nodded somewhat helplessly and said with a wry smile:
"Jiang Zu is indeed wise; this is indeed the purpose of my visit."

But soon, he rallied himself, his eyes gleaming, and he said with unwavering conviction:
"However, our ancestor was very sincere! He didn't intend to force us or anything!"

"If Ancestor Jiang is willing to help, then my Tianxuan Sect will certainly be able to pay a price that satisfies Ancestor Jiang!"

His sudden change of attitude was understandable, given the formidable strength of the Tianxuan Sect.

Such words are indeed tempting and attractive enough.

"Um"

Even Jiang Chengxuan, in his current state, couldn't help but ponder and consider this mission.

Jiang Chengxuan had been to the restricted area before, but it was only a small restricted area, and he only went to the outer perimeter without going deep inside.

In reality, Jiang Chengxuan was quite wary of the strangeness of the forbidden zone, because when he was still in the Xuanming Immortal Realm...

I have seen people die because of the strange occurrences in the forbidden zones.

That is, the previous owner of the Eternal Manifestation Scripture and the Nine Wonders Bodhi Lotus Lamp, the mysterious Xuanxian who wanted to break into the Xuanming Immortal Realm from the Ancient Realm.

At that time, when Jiang Chengxuan went to subdue the fragments of the Xuan Realm, he learned that it had been harmed by the forbidden zone and thus perished.

After that, the eerie and ominous aura emanating from the forbidden zone also brought some trouble to Jiang Chengxuan.
It nearly destroyed the entire Xuanming Immortal Realm! Extremely terrifying!
All these things made Jiang Chengxuan quite wary of the Ancient Realm Forbidden Zone.

This is why, even after ten thousand years in the ancient realm, he has never considered scheming for any treasures within the forbidden zone.

"With my current strength, perhaps I can give it a try."

But right now, Jiang Chengxuan has to consider the possibility of him going to the restricted area.

Firstly, because his strength is now different from before; he has already taken a half-step into the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and has strong self-confidence.

Secondly, the opportunity required to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is extremely rare and difficult to come by.

It's extremely difficult to obtain without venturing deep into restricted areas!
Jiang Chengxuan understood the principle that fortune favors the bold, especially in the ancient realm.

Many Golden Immortal cultivators have also lived another life at their peak because of the forbidden zone! Therefore, he must also consider it.

This opportunity is quite rare; if we can use it to explore the forbidden zone more deeply...

They can also get help from a behemoth like the Zhetian Xuanzong.

However, Jiang Chengxuan also understood the dangers involved.

Although it is said to be a cooperation with Zhetian Xuanzong, there is no foundation of trust between them. How much power can this so-called cooperation actually bring?
The matter of that forbidden zone was thorny; even a Golden Immortal was left half-dead, and even the Zhetian Xuanzong sect was at a loss for what to do.
It's definitely not something that can be easily resolved.

For a moment, the entire hall fell silent, and the envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong dared not utter a word.

He could only glance at Jiang Chengxuan out of the corner of his eye from time to time, waiting with extreme tension.

This time, even the Zhetian Xuanzong sect needed to request external assistance, which shows how dire the situation truly was.
He came here to ask for help, carrying with him a pledge of loyalty.

"Very well, since your clan is so eager, how can we, as friends, turn a blind eye!"

Fortunately, after much deliberation, Jiang Chengxuan finally spoke earnestly and solemnly.

This immediately relieved the envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong sect, who was overjoyed and nodded vigorously, laughing as he said:

"Jiang Zu's righteousness is truly admirable! I admire him immensely, like a mighty river that flows endlessly!"

"Please rest assured, Ancestor Jiang, my Zhetian Xuanzong will never mistreat any of our friends!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan adopted a righteous and awe-inspiring expression and chuckled as he asked:
"When will your esteemed clan depart to suppress the forbidden zone?"

"How many more Xuanzong patriarchs are preparing to join the attack?"

Having promised the Zhetian Xuanzong, these were the things Jiang Chengxuan cared about most.

Given the connections of the Zhetian Xuanzong sect, he believed that quite a few Golden Immortals would agree to help in the battle.

This is also why he chose to agree.

"Hehe. To be honest, Ancestor Jiang, I've visited several Xuanzong sects, and you're the first one to agree!"

The envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong sect smiled awkwardly and said humbly.

These words startled Jiang Chengxuan, who stared wide-eyed.

It seems I underestimated the deterrent effect of the forbidden zone on the people of the ancient realm.

He thought he had already witnessed the terrifying darkness and ominous nature of the forbidden zone, and was therefore extremely cautious.

Unexpectedly, these immortals, who were born and raised in the ancient world, were far more afraid of the forbidden zone than he was.

"But surely someone will be willing to step in later, Jiang Zu."

Seeing this, the envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong sect hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, fearing that Jiang Chengxuan might suddenly change his mind.

But Jiang Chengxuan raised his hand to interrupt the latter, saying:

"Since I have agreed, I will not go back on my word. In that case, send me a message again after everyone has arrived."

Although Jiang Chengxuan was surprised, he did not intend to give up.

The more others feared, the more anxious the Zhetian Xuanzong became.

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

Under these circumstances, in order to get Jiang Chengxuan to do his best, Zhetian Xuanzong will definitely increase its stakes.

The better the reward he receives.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Jiang Zugao's righteousness is admirable! I admire him greatly."

"Alright, that's settled then. You may go now."

And just as the envoy from the Zhetian Xuanzong was about to launch into another long string of flattery,

Jiang Chengxuan reached out and interrupted him again.

The latter, feeling both embarrassed and grateful, quickly bowed in thanks and hurriedly left. (End of Chapter)
