Chapter 1292: The Serene Profound Valley – Exploring Southern State, Part 1
Editor: Henyee Translations
To vie for the task Jiang Chengxuan offered, several True Immortal cultivators engaged in fierce combat, showcasing a myriad of astonishing powers and techniques that left the onlooking cultivators in awe and amazement.
Ultimately, only four remained standing before Jiang Chengxuan. The most prominent among them was the tall female cultivator, whose immense strength had been evident from the start. With a massive axe strapped to her back, she approached Jiang Chengxuan and his companions, bowing respectfully, her aura exuding confidence.
Despite having endured the brutal fight, she bore few injuries and maintained a calm demeanor. Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both nodded in approval; this candidate was exactly what they were looking for.
“Very good. What is your name?” Jiang Chengxuan asked, his voice carrying the weight of authority.
In a flash of celestial light, Jiang Chengxuan retrieved the promised rewards from his storage ring—two jade bottles containing celestial pills and two distinct celestial treasures, each emanating an overwhelming aura of power. The very presence of these items caused ripples in the surrounding space, their energy sending waves through the void.
The onlookers, witnessing this exchange, were filled with envy. Even the True Immortal cultivators among them couldn’t help but covet such treasures. However, with Jiang Chengxuan’s imposing Earth Immortal presence, no one dared to make a move.
“Thank you, Immortal Lord,” the tall female cultivator responded, her expression softening as she accepted the celestial pills and treasures with a bow. Under Jiang Chengxuan’s guidance, she swore a Dao Heart Oath, pledging her loyalty to Shen Ruyan’s team and vowing to assist in securing the opportunity within the hidden realm.
The remaining successful contenders followed suit, stepping forward to receive their rewards, swear their oaths, and join the team. Within a short time, all four True Immortal cultivators had been enlisted, with none refusing the generous offer.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Chengxuan instructed, his Earth Immortal aura withdrawing as he turned to lead the newly formed team away from the scene, the crowd parting to watch them depart.
…
In a remote section of the Nanhe Stone Forest, heavy rain poured down, but the deluge was halted mid-air by an unseen force, forming a turbulent river in the sky. This celestial river, glowing with mystical light, resonated with the power of Dao, illuminating the surrounding landscape. The towering stone pillars, absorbing this energy, grew at a rapid pace, displaying an eerie, almost terrifying vitality.
Amidst the wildly growing pillars, a group of figures stood, their presence undisturbed by the downpour as the rain simply vanished upon nearing them. The sound of their conversation cut through the roaring river above.
“Ruyan, be careful. Remember, don’t push yourself too hard. Your safety is the top priority,” Jiang Chengxuan urged, his tone filled with concern as he addressed his wife.
“I understand, husband,” Shen Ruyan replied softly, her ethereal glow surrounding her as she reassured him. “Don’t worry. I will return safely.”

After recruiting the four True Immortal cultivators, the group had spent some time familiarizing themselves with one another. Jiang Chengxuan had also provided Shen Ruyan with additional protective treasures, and now the time had come for them to set off.
“Very well,” Jiang Chengxuan nodded, his expression showing a mix of pride and concern.
With a final look at her husband, Shen Ruyan led the team of seven True Immortals into the hidden realm. The entrance, a barely perceptible rift concealed by the rain, swallowed them up, leaving Jiang Chengxuan to watch as they vanished from sight.
This was the hidden realm containing the Celestial Tribulation Lightning. Jiang Chengxuan had tested the realm’s boundaries, confirming that, just as Immortal Jindao had warned, he could not break through the realm’s rules. Thus, after meticulous preparation, Shen Ruyan would lead the team into the unknown to contend for the opportunity against other cultivators.
For Shen Ruyan, who had only recently ascended to the True Immortal stage and had limited experience in battling other True Immortals, this expedition was fraught with danger. Despite the team’s support, the unpredictable nature of hidden realms meant that the advantage of numbers was not always decisive.
As the rain-splashed portal rippled and stilled, Jiang Chengxuan pushed down his unease, refocusing his thoughts on the present. Above him, the celestial river surged with immense power, its rainstorm-like deluge crackling with thunder, shaking the void. The strange stone pillars continued to grow, like some bizarre celestial plants, yet they lacked any sign of life.
“Nanhe Stone Forest… truly a place of profound mystery,” Jiang Chengxuan murmured, marveling at the sight before him.
“Hahaha! The wonders of the Immortal Realm are beyond our comprehension,” Immortal Jindao’s hearty laughter echoed nearby. As a seasoned Earth Immortal of the Xuanyuan Immortal Domain, he had witnessed countless marvels and held a deep respect for the realm’s mysteries.
Though Earth Immortals could dominate vast regions of the Immortal Realm, spanning billions of miles and traversing the Nine Provinces with ease, they were still but a drop in the ocean of the boundless Immortal Realm. Even with their immense power, they remained mere waves in the endless river of Dao.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded in agreement, deeply resonating with Immortal Jindao’s sentiments.
