Chapter 67: The Eve of the Battle

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

What did that mean?

This meant that on the high-level battlefield, the human race was at an absolute disadvantage against the demon race.

Otherwise, if the demon beast violated the agreement, the human race on the high-level battlefield would have interfered.

“So…”

Shen Yuanlong continued, “We need to gather all our strength to deal with the demon beast riot.

As for the industries we have outside, let’s take them back while we can. If we can’t take them back, we have to try our best to sell them for resources useful for war.”

At this point, Shen Yuanlong looked at Xu Qianhe and thought for a moment before saying,

“As for the Crimson Gold Mine you’re in charge of, Elder Xu, I’ll go with you to hide it. Don’t tell the other clansmen for the time being.

After the demon beast riot is over, we will officially begin mining it.”

Next, Shen Yuanlong discussed some things with everyone present.

Half a month later.

All the resources useful for fighting the war in the markets and towns under the Shen Immortal Family were taken back.

At the same time, the Shen Immortal family sent a letter to all the Foundation Establishment families in Flat Land County, telling them and independant cultivators in Flat Land County to gather at the Shen Immortal Family’s base, Splendid Jade Mountain, three years later to listen to their arrangements.

If anyone dared to disobey the order, they would be expelled from Flat Land County and be blacklisted by the Shen Immortal Family.

This was unacceptable for some cultivation families that had taken root in Flat Land County for countless years.

Once they were really expelled from the Flat Land County, they would lose many things they currently had.

The first was the spirit vein that their family relied on to survive, as well as the connections established here.

Therefore.

After the Shen Immortal Family sent out the letter, not long after, they received replies from the various Foundation Establishment Realm families from all directions.

They all promised that they would definitely follow the lead of the Shen Immortal Family and listen to all their arrangements.

In addition, cultivators from other sects also began to leave Flat Land County and return to their respective sects to prepare for the demon beast.

This included the people from the Pure Treasure Pavilion.

Looking at the White Jade Market that was gradually becoming deserted, Hong Wentao couldn’t help but sneer.

“This time, I want to see how long the Shen Immortal family can hold on.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, hmph, I hope you die in the mouths of those demon beasts!”

He led a group of cultivators from the Pure Treasure Pavilion and quickly flew out of Flat Land County.

A few months passed.

The shadow of war seemed to have enveloped the entire Flat Land County.

From mortals to Qi Refinement cultivators, from Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment cultivators, almost everyone was preparing for the upcoming demon beast riot.

One could clearly see that at almost every second, there were cultivators flying through the air.

They were transporting the resources to the front line of Flat Land County.

At the same time, many cultivators were constantly strengthening protective array formations for their families and sects to guard against any possible sneak attacks of demon beasts.

It was not an exaggeration to say that almost everyone’s heartstrings were pulled taut.

Including Jiang Chengxuan.

At this moment, he was in his cave abode, attempting to break through to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

At this moment, if his strength could increase a little more, he would have a higher chance of survival in the near future.

To be honest, in such a calamity that affected all the humans, he could not say for sure if he could’ve survived in the end.

The only thing he could do was to constantly improve himself before that.

More than a year later.

A faint fluctuation suddenly came from the cultivation room in Jiang Chcngxuan’s cave abode.

Jiang Chengxuan, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and a smile finally appeared on his face.

After nearly two years of breakthrough, he finally made it.

At this moment, he had already become a fifth level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Compared to before, his total True Essence had increased by about 30%.

In the past, he could only slash out one Fire Meteor Sword. Now, he could slash out two Fire Meteor Swords while still having some True Essence left.

This was crucial.

Otherwise, after the two Fire Meteor Sword slashes, he would collapse. If the enemy was not dead, or if there were other enemies beside him, wouldn’t he be finished in minutes?

At this moment.

Jiang Chengxuan was not in a hurry to come out of seclusion. Instead, he took out all the talisman-making materials he had exchanged previously.

Yes.

He planned to make another batch of talismans before the war broke out.

When he fought the Crimson Fire Fiend King, he learned the benefits of having plenty of talismans.

In the face of dozens of talismans, not to mention ordinary enemies, even late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm enemies would suffer a serious blow.

After he finished reading the second half of the Level 2 talisman book, Jiang Chengxuan already had a plan for what talisman he would make next.

First, he had to make some offensive talismans.

They were all mid-grade Level 2.

For example, the Divine Wind Talisman that Jiang Chengxuan had used previously as well as a talisman called the Big Dipper Golden Sword Talisman.

Once it was used, it could transform into a golden sword light that was more than 100 feet long. It was useful in cleaning the battlefield.

There were also some supportive talismans.

For example, the Binding Talisman that had been used before.

A year later, Jiang Chengxuan walked out of his seclusion room and immediately realized that Shen Ruyan was already waiting for him outside.

After not seeing her for nearly three years, he noticed that her cultivation level had already reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Moreover, there was a faint unfathomable aura spreading out from her body. It was actually somewhat similar to that of the ancestor, Shen Yuanlong.

This surprised Jiang Chengxuan. He couldn’t help but ask,

“Ruyan, the aura on you…”
