Chapter 834: System Reward, Comprehending Rule-based Divine Power, Shen Ruyan Advances to Seethrough Stage

Editor: Henyee Translations

[Ding.]

The moment Jiang Chengxuan fully comprehended the True Essence of the Five Elements, a system notification echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, for achieving the comprehension of the Five Elements’ True Essence. You have obtained one Rule-based Divine Power Seed.]

[Rule-based Divine Power Seed: When used, it can enhance one of your existing divine powers with rule-based augmentation, transforming it into a Rule­based Divine Power.]

Jiang Chengxuan hadn’t expected such an additional reward from comprehending the True Essence of the Five Elements.

This meant he could transform one of his existing divine powers into a Rule­based Divine Power simply by applying this seed.

Thinking this, Jiang Chengxuan wasted no time using the Rule-based Divine Power Seed on his most powerful divine power, the Great Five Elements Extermination Divine Light.

He chose this divine power over the Five-Colored Divine Light because the latter was his intrinsic divine power and an extremely special one at that.

It had already surpassed Rule-based Divine Powers and even some specific limitations.

Even a Mahayana Daolord affected by this divine power would find it difficult to escape its influence.

So.

Using the Rule-based Divine Power Seed on the Five-Colored Divine Light would have been a waste.

Buzz!

The moment Jiang Chengxuan applied the Rule-based Divine Power Seed to his Great Five Elements Extermination Divine Light, he immediately attempted to cast this divine power.

Instantly, endless annihilation rules surged, accompanied by the cycle of the Five Elements.

A wall in front of him silently turned into nothingness without making a sound.

Quickly, Jiang Chengxuan understood that his Great Five Elements Extermination Divine Light, with the enhancement of the Rule-based Divine Power Seed, was now primarily based on the silent annihilation rule.

The power of the Great Five Elements served as an auxiliary force.

To fully unleash the power of both aspects, he realized he would need further comprehension.

Nevertheless, this Rule-based Divine Power was now potent enough to threaten, even directly slay, a Seethrough powerhouse.

Exiting his cultivation chamber, Jiang Chengxuan was surprised to find Shen Ruyan had already come out of her seclusion.

They soon began to share their experiences.

Jiang Chengxuan learned from Shen Ruyan that she had reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Radiance stage and was on the verge of needing to transform her understanding of the true essence into a domain, a process that couldn’t be achieved through seclusion alone but required sufficient accumulation or a moment of enlightenment.

Therefore, they decided not to continue staying at Cloud Mist Peak and soon headed to the sect’s mission hall.

Given the close alliance between the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley during the war, the tasks and contributions were temporarily interchangeable between the two sects, meaning Shen Ruyan could also take on corresponding missions within the Haoran Sect.

Over the next few decades, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan together undertook numerous missions.

These missions presented little difficulty for them at their current level, and they were able to complete one after another in regular intervals.

After completing several missions consecutively, Shen Ruyan suddenly said to Jiang Chengxuan,

“Husband, I believe the opportunity for my breakthrough has arrived.

I will need you to protect me during this time.”

Hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan’s face immediately lit up with joy.

“Really? Are you confident?”

“Yeah.”

Shen Ruyan nodded with a smile.

“If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to succeed in as soon as half a year or, at most, a few decades.”

“That’s wonderful!”

Jiang Chengxuan was overjoyed.

They then declined all invitations from their fellow sect members and submitted a request to the sect for a seclusion period to focus on Shen Ruyan’s breakthrough.

During this time, unless it was a matter of the sect’s survival, the sect would not disturb them for any reason.

Soon after, Shen Ruyan entered a cave abode on Cloud Mist Peak, with Jiang Chengxuan standing guard outside.

Days passed, and almost a year later, a tremendously vast aura suddenly emanated from the direction of Shen Ruyan’s cave abode.

The sky seemed to flicker with startling lightning.

Standing outside, Jiang Chengxuan distinctly felt a tingling sensation of lightning wrapping around his body, giving him the illusion of being in the midst of a sea of lightning.

“Mm?

Has Ruyan succeeded in her breakthrough?”

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he saw a majestic figure, resembling the Mother of Thunder, flash across the sky.

Immediately afterward, Shen Ruyan, wearing a long purple dress, appeared before Jiang Chengxuan with a joyful smile.

“Ruyan, you did it!”

Jiang Chengxuan exclaimed in surprise and delight.

Shen Ruyan smiled and nodded at him.

“Yes, thanks to your protection, I’ve successfully advanced to the Seethrough stage.”

As she spoke, she released her Five Elements True Thunder domain.

Instantly, five different types of lightning converged around Jiang Chengxuan.

The power, enough to make any Seethrough cultivator tremble, brought an extremely joyous smile to Jiang Chengxuan’s face.

“Ruyan, I didn’t expect your Seethrough domain to be so formidable.

Even I would struggle to withstand it without using my full strength.

And this is just you releasing it casually.

If you were to unleash it with all your might, even I probably couldn’t resist.”

Jiang Chengxuan’s words were no exaggeration.

Given the domain power Shen Ruyan had just demonstrated, an ordinary Seethrough cultivator would indeed stand no chance against her.

Only those Seethrough cultivators who had comprehended rule-based divine powers might have a chance to withstand it.

“Hehe, you flatter me, husband.

I believe that once you advance to the Seethrough stage, the domain you manifest will be even stronger than mine,” Shen Ruyan responded.

After both had advanced to Void Returning Realm, Shen Ruyan could clearly sense Jiang Chengxuan’s terrifying potential.

The gap between them might not seem significant now, but Shen Ruyan, who knew Jiang Chengxuan well, understood that as their cultivation levels increased, the disparity between them would only grow larger.

“Huh?”

It was then that both their gazes simultaneously shifted towards the exterior of Cloud Mist Peak.

A figure flashed in the sky for just a moment before appearing right in front of them.
