Chapter 619: Merit Golden Lotus, Space Collapse

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chengxuan had anticipated Shen Ruyan’s concerns.

If this secret realm were easy to find, Wu Bingyun would not have offered its location as part of a trade.

Fortunately, they still had ample time.

Utilizing their expertise in arrays, combined with Jiang Chengxuan s calculations and the Heavenly Eye of Insight, they spent about half a year before finally detecting the entrance to the spatial realm in a particular area.

However, this entrance was completely sealed.

Even though they had found it, without the proper method, they still couldn’t

enter.

Shen Ruyan was somewhat anxious about this.

They had spent so much effort and time to finally find this entrance.

It would be incredibly disappointing if they were stopped at this step. “Ruyan, be patient,” Jiang Chengxuan said, his face showing a faint smile.

Seeing Jiang Chengxuan’s expression, Shen Ruyan, who was a little anxious, immediately calmed down.

“Husband, have you thought of a way?” she asked.

“Not exactly,” Jiang Chengxuan replied with a smile and shook his head.

“However, I do have an item that can open this realm’s entrance.”

“A treasure that can open the entrance?

Shen Ruyan was stunned.

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded.

“Yes, exactly.”

He then extended his hand, and a key emitting a special luster appeared in his palm.

It was the Universal Array Breaking Key he had obtained from the system, capable of breaking all seals, barriers, and arrays, as well as opening any sealed entrances or doors.

He had used this key before in the ruins of the Golden Furnace Sect.

With this key, it was clear that the sealed entrance to the spatial realm would no longer be an obstacle for them.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan held the key and gently turned it towards the entrance of the spatial realm.

Crack—

A crisp unlocking sound suddenly resonated.

The next moment, in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, a clear portal materialized within the void.

The portal transitioned from ethereal to tangible, finally forming completely before them.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately said to Shen Ruyan,

“Wife, let’s hurry and enter.

Now that the entrance to this spatial realm is open, I estimate that this portal won’t stay open for long.

Once we’re inside, we need to search for whatever is in there as quickly as possible.”

“Ok.”

Shen Ruyan nodded.

Without any hesitation, the couple stepped through the portal, entering the independent spatial realm.

Buzz!

It felt like passing through a barrier.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked around, they found themselves in a relatively dim space, surrounded by nothing.

It was gray all around, as if the air was covered in a layer of dust. The space wasn’t vast; they were able to explore it in just a short amount of time.

Unfortunately, they didn’t find anything significant.

It was only when they reached the most secluded corner that they discovered something resembling a Buddhist shrine.

The shrine was dark yellow, perhaps due to its age, emanating a strong sense of decay.

Was it possible that their journey here was in vain, without any gain, and even wasting a Universal Array Breaking Key?

Jiang Chengxuan felt a tinge of disappointment.

However, at that moment, they suddenly seemed to hear a sound in their minds, making them both somewhat startled and puzzled.

They looked at each other.

Initially, the sound was vague, as if it was coming from a great distance.

But over time, it grew clearer and closer. Gradually, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan recognized the sound as Buddhist chanting.

The chanting seemed to get closer until it was almost ringing in their ears.

Buzz!

Unconsciously, a vision of a golden ocean appeared before them.

In this golden ocean, countless Arhats sat in meditation, chanting scriptures. From their mouths flew numerous Buddhist seals, slowly forming two tiny golden lotuses in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Whoosh—

Without giving them time to react, the two golden lotuses transformed into streaks of light, merging into Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s foreheads.

Instantly, the chanting in their ears disappeared, and the vision before them dissipated.

Their consciousness returned to their bodies, with only a fleeting mark of a golden lotus at their foreheads.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances, each seeing a mix of surprise and disbelief in the other’s eyes.

They had just obtained something almost unimaginable to ordinary people.

It was a Merit Golden Lotus, formed purely from Buddhist merit.

Though tiny in size, the Merit Golden Lotus bestowed immense benefits upon Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Firstly, as long as the lotus remained with them, their cultivation would progress smoothly, with enhanced comprehension and opportunities. Secondly, the lotus had the property of nullifying all forms of attacks. If activated, any attack directed at them, regardless of the attacker’s strength – even from a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord or a Void Returning Divine Lord – would dissipate on its own.

However, this protective feature was not unlimited.

Each use would cause the lotus to shrink, and if used to block an attack from a Void Returning Divine Lord, the lotus might dissipate instantly.

Lastly, it was the function of blocking the heavenly secrets.

Choosing to consume the lotus could enable a smooth breakthrough into the Soul Formation without triggering the corresponding heavenly tribulation.

However, this would also cause the lotus in their foreheads to vanish. Though the Merit Golden Lotus could be used only a few times, with some abilities being one -time uses, it was undoubtedly a treasure of the highest order, more precious than any other object they currently possessed.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s trip was not in vain.

Even without finding the Green Dragon Divine Wood they were originally seeking, obtaining the Merit Golden Lotus was a substantial and satisfying gain.

Rumble!

just then, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan suddenly felt a violent tremor in the spatial realm.

Roaring sounds echoed in their ears, and they could clearly see black spatial cracks appearing in the void at a distance.

“Not good!

This spatial realm is about to collapse!”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expressions changed.

They knew that it was probably because the two of them had obtained the two Merit Golden Lotuses here that the spatial realm had completed its final mission.

There was no longer a need for it to exist.

Without any hesitation, they quickly headed towards the exit of the realm. Once they emerged, they didn’t pause for a moment and immediately flew towards the distance.

Some time later, after Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had stopped and looked back, they saw an extremely violent spatial storm erupting at their previous location.

The storm obliterated all the arrays and barriers they had set up, along with everything within several miles around it.

Realizing it was unwise to linger, they quickly left the area. Soon after their departure, several powerful figures arrived at the core of where the spatial storm had erupted.

A man dressed in a brocade robe closely inspected the surroundings, his expression turning grave:

“If I’m not mistaken, this place just experienced a spatial storm, likely due to the collapse of a secret realm or an independent space.

It’s unclear if this was caused by human intervention or simply due to the natural degradation of the space over time.”

Under the impact of such powerful spatial collapse, all clues and traces that might have existed were completely eradicated.

They could not deduce any useful information from the remnants they observed.

“Report this to the Ancestor,” a woman with a blue water-pattern mark on her forehead suggested calmly.

“This matter exceeds our capabilities. Only the Ancestor might have a different perspective on this.”

The others, including the man in the brocade robe, agreed without objection, and soon the group left the area.

Tens of days later.

In a magnificent and vast cultivation city in the Western Desert, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan arrived at a massive cross-region teleportation array, hoping to try their luck.

Although the major regions had severed their connections through these large teleportation arrays, there were no threats between the Western Desert and the Northern Border.

So.

With a mindset of giving it a try, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan came to this place..
