Chapter 1948: The Great Dao Scripture, Insight into the Mortal World (Part 1)

Having finally suppressed the root of the rebellion, Jiang Chengxuan and Zhe Chuan were suddenly subjected to the probing will of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. This sudden intrusion was like a cold shower poured over their hearts, swiftly cooling their spirits.

“A trace of Primordial Chaos energy? So this is the purpose of those Great Luo Golden Immortals in this forbidden zone…”

In silence, Jiang Chengxuan brushed away the haze in his mind, looked up at the sky, and spoke solemnly. After experiencing this recent event, he felt that he had vaguely grasped the significance of the special existence within the forbidden zone.

“Within the Ancient Realm, Primordial Chaos energy has vanished. The attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage can only find a sliver of opportunity inside these forbidden zones.”

“Therefore, these active forbidden zones have long since been divided and controlled by Great Luo Golden Immortals from all factions. They have never intended to completely suppress these places that cause disasters…”

At this point, Zhe Chuan also sighed, seemingly perceiving the shift in Jiang Chengxuan’s mood. He slowly spoke, revealing more secrets.

These were truths only known to those who had reached the pinnacle of this boundless world of the Ancient Realm. Even sects as grand as the Tianxuan Sect must abide by these rules.

“Let us go. The matter is finished.”

After a brief pause, Zhe Chuan accompanied Jiang Chengxuan as they returned to the edge of the forbidden zone. Along the way, Jiang Chengxuan no longer showed much interest in the affairs of the forbidden zone.

This was not due to being intimidated by the will of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. In fact, shortly after leaving that place, Jiang Chengxuan had already cast those concerns aside.

For his long cultivation path, such matters were trivial. He had always known that there are always greater heavens and stronger people beyond.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host! Achievement unlocked: Suppress the root of the rebellion!]

What truly caught Jiang Chengxuan’s attention was the system’s notification.

Amid the gradually calming chaos, his eyes gleamed with joy.

[System Reward: Great Luo Dao Scripture acquired!]

[This is a supreme entity’s insight into the Great Luo Dao, transcending this world!]

The system’s voice slowly sounded, and a simple yet ancient tome silently appeared in Jiang Chengxuan’s arms.

He was somewhat surprised, because the system’s description of the scripture was rather vague.

However, this did not mean the scripture lacked value. Jiang Chengxuan also sensed a mysterious and unfathomable intent within it, vast and ancient.

Needless to say, this was undoubtedly an extraordinary treasure.

Moreover, the fact that the system rated its origin as from an unsurpassed entity made Jiang Chengxuan eager to explore it.

But before he could get too excited, with the ominous rebellion’s power no longer obstructing them, the two had already arrived at the edge of the forbidden zone.

“Big brother!”

“Young friend Chengxuan!”

Nearby, Zhe Ri, Elder Yun Shi, and others–though somewhat battered–were waiting.

Upon seeing their approach, they all smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially for Zhe Ri and Elder Yun Shi, seeing them unharmed made them feel even more reassured.

“Everyone! You have worked hard!”

Zhe Chuan arrived and surveyed the devastation around. He cupped his hands and respectfully greeted the immortals.

“To serve one’s lord faithfully and loyally, Elder, you are too polite.”

“That is true. Since the Tianxuan Sect is so sincere, it is only right to be rewarded for our efforts!”

Upon hearing this, Hao Shen and the other Great Immortals replied firmly and solemnly.

With this battle concluded, the matter of their reward was at hand. Whether their contributions were sufficient depended solely on Zhe Chuan’s word.

“Hehe, everyone fought bravely in this battle. Come back with us to the Zhetian Immortal Sect, and we will treat you well!”

Understanding their thoughts, the crafty Zhe Chuan first glanced at Jiang Chengxuan, then smiled and loudly addressed the group.

Hao Shen and the others were momentarily stunned, then overjoyed.

Clearly, Zhe Chuan’s words acknowledged their contributions in this battle.

In truth, as long as the rebellion was suppressed, Zhe Chuan would not be overly demanding.

Especially since the rebellion was far more terrifying than he had expected, preserving the forbidden zone’s edge without breach was already enough to satisfy him.

Not to mention that Jiang Chengxuan’s role in this battle might have even surpassed his own.

Considering Jiang Chengxuan’s reputation, Zhe Chuan would not make things difficult for him.

Thus, under the leadership of Zhe Chuan and Zhe Ri, the immortal army of the Zhetian Immortal Sect regrouped.

Jiang Chengxuan and the others followed in triumph, returning to the sect’s mountain gate.

This battle had cost the Zhetian Immortal Sect dearly, with many elders and disciples falling.

But suppressing the rebellion made it all worthwhile.

The forbidden zone’s edge remained unbreached, and the soul beast tide did not rage into the Tianxuan world — the best possible outcome.

Several days later, the entire Zhetian Immortal Realm celebrated together, immortals and mortals rejoicing at the end of the calamity.

Countless related immortal sects also breathed a sigh of relief.

This was truly a grand event that moved the entire Ancient Realm.

…

Jiang Chengxuan did not stay long at the Zhetian Immortal Sect.

After exchanging some formalities, he bid farewell to Zhe Chuan, Zhe Ri, and the others.

He left the sect alone and returned to the Haoran Immortal Realm.

At this moment, Shen Ruyan was still in seclusion.

Not much time had passed.

Although the suppression of the forbidden zone rebellion had come suddenly and swiftly, the time elapsed was not long–
