Chapter 992: Utilizing the Advancement Bead, Ascension to an Arcane Treasure

Editor: Henyee Translations

At the moment Jiang Chengxuan laid eyes on that ninth-level supreme spiritual fruit, even the increasingly terrifying aura of the battlefield was ignored. This incredibly precious fruit was the reason for the life-and-death battle between the two ninth-level beasts. It represented the greatest opportunity Jiang had seen since entering this immortal cave abode.

The emergence of a ninth-level spiritual fruit is likely even rarer and more challenging than the emergence of ninth-level beasts. After all, while the fruit embodies rules, it lacks the capability to fight enemies or seize opportunities by force. Cultivating such a fruit to maturity relies solely on nurturing.

This requires not only an exceedingly long period, possibly millions of years, but also a location conducive to its growth and a continuous supply of energy. The immortal cave abode perfectly provides these conditions and has remained hidden for millions of years until now, a fortunate coincidence indeed.

Only a confluence of such coincidences and opportunities could lead to the maturation of this ninth-level supreme spiritual fruit at this moment. This explains why the two ninth-level beasts are battling to the death here, disregarding their millions of years of cultivation and their own lives, likely drawn by the imminent maturation of this fruit.

Perhaps they had discovered the existence of this supreme fruit long ago and had waited countless years for this day. Now that it is finally bearing fruit, they would not easily relinquish it to anyone else.

Faced with the allure of the ninth-level supreme spiritual fruit, Jiang Chengxuan also harbored thoughts of seizing it for himself. Consuming this fruit could advance a Mahayana Daolord’s cultivation by the equivalent of millions of years of training, a terrifyingly powerful effect that even he, with his system, could not ignore.

Now that he had discovered this fruit, there was no reason for him not to try to obtain it. If he missed this opportunity, Jiang Chengxuan was sure he would regret it countless times in the future. Hesitation now might even negatively affect his future path and resolve.

He carefully observed the depths of the chaotic fog where the two colossal creatures were fully engaged in a death battle. This was an excellent opportunity to benefit as the proverbial fisherman.

After calculating all possibilities and running simulations through the Heavenly Calculation Technique, Jiang concluded that he had about a fifty percent chance of success. For such a formidable opportunity, this was an exceptionally high probability, even higher than what the two ninth-level beasts might expect.

After all, he was still hidden from view, and if discovered, his chance of success in s.n.a.t.c.hing the fruit would likely be less than ten percent.

In an instant, he resolved to seize this opportunity.

However, it was not yet time to make his move.

At a crucial moment, Jiang remained patient rather than rash, which is the mark of composure in the face of significant events.

Just then, within the chaotic fog, another tremendously powerful force began to gather, and a vast expanse of the void began to collapse, as if the world itself were crumbling.

In that instant, Jiang sensed danger. The Five Elements Samsara World spun rapidly, even activating the power of the Creation Dao rules, pus.h.i.+ng both sets of rules to their limits.

BOOM!

The next moment, an immensely terrifying wave of energy burst forth, obliterating numerous domains of the void.

This explosion, carrying the force of Dao rules, surpa.s.sed the limits of what a Mahayana Daolord could release—it was clearly the full-force collision of the two ninth-level beasts!

Both beasts unleashed their most powerful attacks, attempting to decide the outcome in that instant and mercilessly kill their opponent.

The impending maturity of the supreme spiritual fruit made them desperate to repel their foe, regardless of the cost. This fruit held extraordinary significance for them, far more than for Jiang Chengxuan. They were native creatures of the immortal cave abode, with all their cultivation resources coming from within it.

They were reluctant to leave the immortal cave abode for the outer world, knowing that while leaving might be easy, returning without special means would be nearly impossible.

The resources outside could never compare to those within the immortal cave abode, which is why they were loath to leave.

Opportunities within the immortal cave abode must be seized; they are not freely given. Limited opportunities meant they had to be fought over, often to the death.

Because of this understanding, each fight for opportunity between them was to the last breath, determining the victor.

What these two ninth-level beasts did not antic.i.p.ate was the silent entrance of an outsider into the immortal cave abode, and one among them was now lurking behind them, watching closely.

Empowered by the seed of the Creation Dao principle, Jiang Chengxuan’s Five Elements Samsara World successfully withstood the onslaught. Other than a slight heaviness in his chest, he sustained no injuries.

His instincts were screaming, aware that the long-awaited moment to act was nearly upon him.

But one last preparation was needed.

Among Jiang Chengxuan’s trump cards, there was one perfectly suited for the current situation. This card, once played, could increase his chances of success by at least another thirty percent.

He reached into his robes and pulled out a bead that radiated an extraordinarily mysterious aura. It was a reward from the system, an Advancement Bead!

The effect of this bead was to instantly elevate a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure to the rank of an Arcane Treasure.

With the critical moment at hand, Jiang Chengxuan intended to use the Advancement Bead to promote his intrinsic spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Diagram, to an Arcane Treasure.

Possessing a weapon transformed into an Arcane Treasure would officially grant him the power to harm a Mahayana Daolord.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan activated the bead. A point of spiritual light burst forth from his forehead as he summoned the Five Elements Diagram.

Under the influence of the Advancement Bead, the Five Elements Diagram immediately began to unleash an immensely mysterious force of Dao rules, which slowly integrated into each component of the map.

The map surged in power, breaking through its original limits. It continuously evolved through the transformations of the five elements—now as the Golden Void Sword, now as the Deep Earth Halberd, now as the Yin-Yang Divine Water Jade, now as the Eastern Azure Dragon Flag, and now as the Eternal Sun Furnace.

In a single breath, it s.h.i.+fted through countless forms, perfectly distributing the power of the Advancement Bead into each transformation.

Each variation ascended towards the level of an Arcane Treasure.
