Chapter 1009: Reunion with Shen Ruyan, Shen Ruyan’s Discovery
Editor: Henyee Translations

A vision of a valley appeared in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind, where, above the valley amidst layers of clouds, divine lightning flickered.

Jiang Chengxuan immediately showed a delighted expression. Without further ado, this sign clearly indicated the current location of Shen Ruyan.

Employing the power at the peak of Dao Mastery for divination, he was finally able to deduce a clear result rather than just a vague direction.

Moreover, from the divination, Jiang Chengxuan could tell that there was no danger surrounding Shen Ruyan, which undoubtedly was even better news.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan transformed into a streak of multicolored light, speeding towards the valley indicated by his divination.

In just a moment, under the full-speed flight, the valley abruptly came into view before Jiang Chengxuan.

Standing at the entrance of the valley, Jiang Chengxuan felt a surge of excitement and joy, believing that Shen Ruyan was similarly longing for him.

The valley was bathed in warm sunlight, appearing as a sacred place rejuvenated after a storm.

Just as Jiang Chengxuan was about to enter, a soft and familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came through.

A figure slowly emerged from the valley, bathed in sunlight, descending like a celestial being.

At that moment when they appeared in each other’s view, both of their gazes locked onto each other’s eyes instantly.

Looking at each other, the hearts of these two mighty beings of the Tianhong Realm simultaneously surged with warmth.

“Husband!”

“Wife!”

Both called out simultaneously, running towards each other in the most ordinary manner, their shadows quickly merging in the sunlight, then becoming one.

They embraced quietly, without words.

Holding Shen Ruyan’s slender body in his arms, Jiang Chengxuan finally felt immense peace and tranquility.

Shen Ruyan also felt completely relaxed, as if this embrace was all that existed in the world at that moment.

After a long while in each other’s arms, they finally stepped back, and only then did Jiang Chengxuan notice the change in Shen Ruyan, commenting, “Wife, you’ve broken through to the peak of Dao Fusion! Congratulations!”

His face was filled with joy as Shen Ruyan’s aura had reached the threshold of Dao Mastery.

“Thank you, husband!” Shen Ruyan smiled gently, her expression sweet.

“And you, husband, your aura is even more unfathomable to me now,” she inquired of Jiang Chengxuan, knowing he must have gained significantly during his time in the Immortal cave abode.

“Ha, your husband has also made some gains; now, I am at the peak of Dao Mastery,” Jiang Chengxuan replied with a gentle laugh, his tone light.

However, this statement slightly shocked Shen Ruyan before she felt immense joy.

“Congratulations, husband. I thought my achievements were not small, but compared to yours, they seem insignificant,” she chuckled, her heart swelling with pride, playfully teasing him.

In response, Jiang Chengxuan simply smiled, sharing the events of his journey with Shen Ruyan in detail.

From entering the Immortal cave abode and facing the meteorite array to the ancient stone platform where he battled the Four Elemental Giants and contended with ninth-level beasts for the Spiritual Fruit.

Then to the most perilous Seven Kills Array, and afterwards, his breakthrough to the peak of Dao Mastery and his extermination of the disciples of the Sacred Skeleton Sect.

Jiang Chengxuan always shared everything with Shen Ruyan without reservation.

Listening, Shen Ruyan’s heart clenched, especially when hearing about the Seven Kills Array, which almost claimed Jiang Chengxuan’s life, prompting her to grasp his hand tightly.

As a fellow cultivator, Shen Ruyan knew all too well the dangers of what Jiang Chengxuan described so casually.

Sensing his Dao companion’s concern, Jiang Chengxuan gently squeezed her hand to comfort her, and she finally felt reassured.

“Wife, tell me about your experiences too.”

As they walked through the sun-drenched valley, for the moment, they forgot everything else but each other.

As it turned out, Shen Ruyan had been transported to a remote area upon arriving in the Immortal cave abode, spending much time traveling without notable incidents.

Until she encountered the Spirit of Thunder of Lightning and the disciples of the Ghost Hall Hall, it had been the most significant danger of her trip to the Immortal cave abode.

Her adventures, compared to Jiang Chengxuan’s, were relatively smooth and straightforward, although Jiang Chengxuan’s expression turned sharp when he heard of the Ghost Hall disciples’ attack on Shen Ruyan.

“These demonic cultivators, using unknown means to infiltrate the Immortal cave abode, should they meet me, none would leave alive,” Jiang Chengxuan remarked with a hint of menace in his eyes.

“Indeed, these demonic cultivators have become utterly lawless,” Shen Ruyan agreed, reflecting a shared resolve to eliminate these threats.

The couple then spent considerable time forgetting their disputes, deeply engrossed in conversation within the idyllic valley.

It wasn’t until Shen Ruyan brought up another crucial piece of information that they considered leaving their temporary haven.

“Husband, on my way here, I spotted a mysterious region where the energy was bizarrely intense, suggesting the presence of a tremendous opportunity,” Shen Ruyan suddenly reminisced, sharing the details with Jiang Chengxuan.

Initially, she was wary of this remote area because the discoveries there were too eerie, and even with her strength, she dared not explore carelessly.

Even now, having advanced nearly to Dao Mastery, she remained uncertain about venturing there.

If it weren’t for hearing about Jiang Chengxuan’s formidable achievements in the Immortal cave abode, she might have hesitated even to mention it.

Jiang Chengxuan listened intently as she continued.

“In that remote place, the spirit force was exceptionally weak, and there was no sign of vigorous life, leading me to suspect that the presence of this opportunity might be the cause.

It’s unusual for the Immortal cave abode to have such a vast, barren area.

And on my way out, I noticed several enormous runes, as if hidden underground, revealing just a corner,” Shen Ruyan added.

“These runes, massive and containing mysterious Dao rules, might be there to suppress a significant opportunity.”

Jiang Chengxuan understood her deductions must be accurate.
