Chapter 1044: Returning to the Sect, Taking Stock of the Gains

Editor: Henyee Translations

After a brief examination, Jiang Chengxuan confirmed their location; it was a region in the southern area of the Floodgate Realm. Not far from the Haoran Sect, everyone promptly decided to return to their sect without hesitation.

They had been away for far too long this time due to the opportunities within the Immortal cave abode, and everyone deeply missed their own sect, eager to return to their personal abodes to quietly reflect and settle.

Jiang Chengxuan, with a homeward heart, led everyone as they transformed into streaks of light, speeding towards the location of the Haoran Sect.

With the strength of a Daolord, covering tens of thousands of miles in an instant was effortless, and soon, the characteristic landscapes of the Haoran Sect appeared before Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes.

High peaks soared into the clouds, shrouded in mist around their midsections, standing majestically and distinctively as the Cloud Mist Peak.

“Sect Master! The Sect Master and Elder Shenwu have returned!”

The moment Jiang Chengxuan and others appeared at the entrance of the sect, it triggered exclamations of surprise from the disciples guarding the gate.

Jiang Chengxuan and Qin Shenwu stood with their hands behind their backs, smiling warmly as they nodded slightly towards the disciples of the Haoran Sect.

Their venture into the Immortal cave abode had not been made public, but as time pa.s.sed, the absence of the sect leader could not be completely concealed.

Although this did not cause any turmoil, now that everyone had returned safely, it was natural for them to make an appearance before the disciples and elders to convey that all was well.

These details, essential for managing a sect, were already well understood by Jiang Chengxuan.

As expected, the news of their return quickly spread throughout the sect, and many elders of the Haoran Sect came to greet them, all visibly relieved.

As elders of the Haoran Sect, they were particularly sensitive to the safety and well-being of the sect master and the top powers within the sect. Jiang Chengxuan and Qin Shenwu represented the pinnacle of strength in the Haoran Sect, and their safety was paramount.

Shortly thereafter, the elders responsible for various affairs within the sect reported the recent happenings to Jiang Chengxuan, who was apprised of the situation and gave his directions.

During this time, the entire Floodgate Realm had been peaceful, as nearly all key figures from the top forces had ventured into the Immortal cave abode in search of opportunities.

The Haoran Sect continued its steady and robust development during these tranquil months, with many elders and disciples making breakthroughs. Now that Jiang Chengxuan had returned, he arranged rewards and promotions based on their progress in cultivation.

With the resources currently available to the Haoran Sect, making these arrangements was effortlessly manageable.

Efficiently handling various matters from the sect entrance to the main hall, Jiang Chengxuan wrapped up all affairs in just half a day. This efficiency is why sects are typically managed by powerful beings, as their decision-making speed and success rates are impressively high.

From the bustling activity upon their return to the quiet of the main hall after everyone dispersed, Jiang Chengxuan finally found a moment to rest, settling down in the sect master’s seat to recuperate.

Qin Shenwu, Xie Xiangyao, and others had already said their goodbyes and departed. With the gains from the Immortal cave abode, they all chose to immediately enter seclusion upon returning to the sect, to tally their gains and consolidate.

“Husband, you’ve worked hard.”

Shen Ruyan approached Jiang Chengxuan softly.

While Jiang Chengxuan and others rea.s.sured the sect internally, she had already returned to Thunderclap Valley to report their safety, then hurried to the Haoran Sect.

There was no other reason but to join Jiang Chengxuan in seclusion to organize the gains from the Immortal cave abode.

“It’s nothing; it was merely a trifle compared to the dangers of the Immortal cave abode,” Jiang Chengxuan chuckled and shrugged.

Having dealt with a round of responsibilities as the sect master, he was quite pleased as these matters, given his ability to foresee and strategize, really were as simple as lifting a hand.

“Let’s go, Wife. It’s time for us to enter seclusion as well.”

Jiang Chengxuan quickly composed himself, took Shen Ruyan’s hand, and together they soared out of the main hall towards the highest peaks of the Haoran Sect.

Returning to the long-unseen Cloud Mist Peak, the spirit beasts of the peak were the first to greet them. With every opportunity they had been granted, these spirit beasts had advanced rapidly, now reaching seventh-level, including that spiritual deer.

Among the spirit beasts of Cloud Mist Peak, it remained a favored confidant of Jiang Chengxuan. Upon seeing Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan return, it was the first to approach, enjoying the affectionate touches from the two, visibly content.

Given the treasures they had brought back from the Immortal cave abode, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were not stingy. They distributed a portion of their resources to the spirit beasts, allowing them a moment of tranquility before they turned to enter the cave abode.

Back in their familiar environment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt an immediate sense of peace. Without needing much adjustment, they naturally entered a state of unity with the heavens, a testament to the profound impact of the cave abode for cultivators.

The couple proceeded to the deeper parts of the dwelling, activating the protective spells that enveloped the entire area, effectively sealing off any external influences.

Finding a comfortable spot, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan sat down together. Almost instantly, Jiang Chengxuan’s storage ring flickered with light, and a myriad of treasures began to materialize and settle on the stone table before them.

The radiant light from these treasures brightened the entire cave, emitting an intense aura of precious materials and spiritual items. Each item that appeared was of exceptionally high quality, extravagantly arrayed on the table, causing even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to marvel at the sight.

Without the inheritance from the Immortal, ama.s.sing such a collection would take any power in the Floodgate Realm tens of thousands of years to gather.

Yet, for Jiang Chengxuan, acquiring these treasures had taken merely a century. This haul alone significantly enhanced the Haoran Sect’s resources, surpa.s.sing the contributions of previous sect leaders.

Breathing calmly, Jiang Chengxuan reached out and picked up a radiant fruit from the table—a Life Essence Fruit obtained from the meteorite array.
