Chapter 876: Guardian Spirit, Sudden Madness

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Huh… ?”

just when everyone’s attention was mainly on Jiang Chengxuan, the natural barriers of the medicinal garden, predicted to dissolve on their own in half a year, suddenly began to ripple.

This unexpected development quickly shifted everyone’s focus.

“What’s happening with the natural barriers of this medicinal garden?” Confusion flashed through everyone’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by shock as they noticed something.

“Look! What is that?”

At that moment, the ground within the natural medicinal garden began to tremble, and a terrifying aura slowly emanated from the source of the rumbling.

Suddenly, a creature resembling a giant dragon appeared before everyone’s eyes. ³

“That… what is that?”

A wave of horror spread across the faces of those present.

Someone recognized the creature and exclaimed in shock.

“It’s… it’s the guardian spirit of the garden!”

“Guardian spirit?”

The mention of this stunned many, but their expressions quickly changed as greed filled their eyes, impossible to conceal.

They all remembered a legend.

Any natural medicinal garden with a guardian spirit was bound to contain immortal-grade spirit medicines.

What does immortal-grade spirit medicine signify?

Even immortals in the Immortal Realms would be tempted by such treasures.

If they were lucky enough to obtain it, wouldn’t that mean…

At the thought of this, no one present could remain calm.

This was especially true given that the information of this place could not be transmitted back to the Celestial Floodgate Realm.

If it could be, there was no doubt that they would have already informed the higher-ups and ancestors in the Celestial Floodgate Realm, disregarding any previous agreements.

Boom!

Suddenly, a dazzling burst of light exploded on the natural barriers of the medicinal garden.

Everyone’s gaze sharpened.

Someone had launched an attack on the natural barriers ahead of schedule!

Who could it be?

As everyone turned their attention towards the source of the explosion several other areas within the natural medicinal garden erupted with thunderous noises.

Strong attacks consecutively hit the natural barriers of the garden.

Seeing this scene, everyone present knew that they could not wait any longer. Since someone had already broken this tacit agreement, they might as well… Rumble!

It was also at this moment that more concentrated, fierce, and powerful attacks landed on the natural barriers.

It was clear that the crowd had nearly lost their sanity, their eyes brimming with greed and desire.

Even Jiang Chengxuan felt an inexplicable stirring in his heart.

However, the Vast Heaven Divine Jade within the depths of his sea of consciousness soon emitted a gentle white light, instantly calming the tumult within him.

This immediate shift brought a sense of clarity and caution to his mind.

Turning to look at those around him, including Shen Ruyan and Leng Yuehua he noticed their longing eyes growing increasingly intense.

No, that’s not right.

There’s something wrong with the guardian spirit of the garden!

Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze sharpened on the guardian spirit within the garden. He observed, in places difficult for divine senses to penetrate, wisps of dark green smoke leaking from the garden’s barriers, stirring the deepest desires in those exposed to it.

If his suspicions were correct, this dark green smoke leaking from the garden’s barriers was a substance capable of awakening the deepest desires in a person. Paired with the potential presence of immortal-grade spiritual herbs within the garden, it completely unleashed the suppressed desires in everyone making them manifest openly.

What was terrifying was that almost everyone present seemed to have lost their rationality, launching into a frenzied attack on the garden’s barriers heedless of the consequences.

If this continued, their energy would soon be depleted.

Given the strength of the garden’s barriers and the collective power of those present, breaking through in a short time seemed almost impossible.

It appeared that the guardian spirit of the garden was not simple at all.

It was unclear whether its actions were instinctual or deliberate.

If it were the latter, the situation could become significantly more complicated. With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Jiang Chengxuan expanded his domain to encompass Shen Ruyan and the others, immediately clearing the confusion and uncontrollable urges from their minds.

Once sober, a sense of alarm washed over them.

Observing the others, now frenziedly attacking the garden’s barriers, a chill ran down their spines.

“Husband, this is…?”

Unconsciously, Shen Ruyan and the others turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan.

Jiang Chengxuan’s expression was a little solemn.

He shared his suspicions about the guardian spirit of the garden with them.

When everyone heard this, they could not help but gasp.

If his suspicions held true, the dangers they faced were not limited to the guardian spirit of the garden.

Among those present, there were individuals filled with killing intents towards them, not just a desire for the spiritual herbs within the garden.

Slash!

As expected.

They barely had time to process this thought when multiple streaks of piercing sword light suddenly appeared from the void, aimed directly at them.

The attackers were cultivators from the Qiankun Hall and the Ghost Hall, all launching an offensive towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

A chill ran through Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan as they saw the attacks coming their way, their eyes flashing with a cold light.

There was no doubt that these people who attacked them were bent on taking their lives.                              ^&

Even without the current situation, an inevitable confrontation would have arisen eventually.

Faced with such hostility, there was no longer any reason to hold back. Swoosh!

Jiang Chengxuan suddenly opened his fingers.

Atop each finger, vibrant hues of green, red, yellow, white, and blue swiftly emerged, each representing a different elemental attribute.

These colors coalesced into five massive sword qi, each slashing down towards the incoming attacks with decisive force..
