Chapter 1115: After the Great Catastrophe
Editor: Henyee Translations
In that final, life-and-death moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart was anything but calm.
That single slash carried the fate of all living beings in the Floodgate Realm. It was the heaviest strike of his life.
Naturally, the blade that slew the Demon Immortal was no ordinary weapon.
It was the reward granted by the system when Jiang Chengxuan killed the wisp of the Demon Immortal’s true spirit: the Immortal-Slaying Blade.
This blade contained a singular rule—slay immortals. It could not harm anything other than the essence of beings at the immortal level.
Thus, it was useless against anything but immortal spirits; however, it was lethal to immortals.
When the Demon Immortal began his desperate threats, Jiang Chengxuan conceived this plan. By misleading his opponent with psychological tactics, he finally found an opening to strike.
Hence, the legend of “Immortal-Slaying with One Stroke” began to spread throughout the Floodgate Realm.
Now, everyone surrounded Jiang Chengxuan, their faces beaming with joy.
Tears of relief flowed freely, appearing on nearly every face. After enduring so many trials, they had finally overcome the great catastrophe, and it all began with Jiang Chengxuan.
From the strategic deductions to the battle with the Sacred Skeleton Sect, from navigating the Absolute Heaven Array to resolving the crisis of the Eastern Sea, and finally to slaying the Demon Immortal and safeguarding the barrier—each feat seemed impossible, yet Jiang Chengxuan turned them into reality.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
All eyes were on him, filled with gratitude and reverence.
“Husband, we truly did it!” Shen Ruyan rushed into Jiang Chengxuan’s arms, finally releasing the anxiety and fear that had plagued her throughout the ordeal. She had been terrified of losing him, but now, she could let go of that fear.
“Master Jiang!” “Daoist Jiang!” “Chengxuan!” The crowd gathered around Jiang Chengxuan, their voices calling out in unison, bowing deeply to him.
This sight of hundreds of high-level cultivators paying homage was unprecedented in the history of the Floodgate Realm.
Jiang Chengxuan, however, did not revel in the glory. Using his power, he gently lifted everyone with a soft breeze and spoke calmly, “This battle was not won by me alone. You all have worked hard.”
His words moved many to tears. In the overwhelming joy, they found themselves at a loss for words. Just then, a voice echoed in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind, bringing a sense of deep relief.
Ding!
Congratulations to the host for achieving the feat of slaying the Demon Immortal’s true spirit.
Reward: One Immortal Treasure Ascension Talisman. Use this talisman to upgrade a Heavenly Treasure to an Immortal Treasure. This item can only be used after entering the Immortal Realm.
The system finally confirmed the death of the Demon Immortal’s true spirit. The reward brought immense joy to Jiang Chengxuan—an Immortal Treasure Ascension Talisman!
This item was as valuable, if not more so, than receiving an immortal treasure directly. It allowed him to upgrade his Life-bound Heavenly Treasure, the Five Elements Universe Diagram, into an immortal treasure. This meant he could ensure compatibility and maximize his power.
Satisfied, Jiang Chengxuan tucked away the talisman and turned his attention back to the cultivators, ensuring their emotions were settled.
Then, they began clearing the battlefield. The Demon Immortal’s belongings, unsuitable for normal cultivators and hazardous due to their dark nature, were entrusted to Jiang Chengxuan for safekeeping.
After securing the remains and ensuring the Demon Immortal’s true spirit could not revive, their focus shifted to the Eastern Sea barrier.
They did not know what lay within, but it was undeniably a threat to the Floodgate Realm. Having witnessed the barrier’s fragility, their immediate task was to reinforce it.
“Let’s begin!” Jiang Chengxuan commanded. The leaders of various sects activated their celestial treasures, sending beams of dazzling light skyward.
These beams intertwined under Jiang Chengxuan’s direction, forming layers of protective runes over the barrier.
Under this power, the Eastern Sea entered an unprecedented state of peace. The surface became as calm as a mirror, and the sea beasts, usually bloodthirsty, grew tranquil.
Jiang Chengxuan’s repair of the barrier reduced disasters in the Eastern Sea for millennia, and the local inhabitants began to worship him as a deity, holding annual ceremonies to pray for safety.
With the barrier secure, the great catastrophe officially ended. Jiang Chengxuan’s name was etched into history, his deeds immortalized in legend.
