Chapter 1271: Earth Immortal Insect Demon, Re-entering the Insect Valley (Part 2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Like a star exploding, Jiang Chengxuan’s Taichu Water-Fire Sword forced open a space within the crushing force. The intertwining powers of Taichu water and fire were unleashed with a mighty slash, piercing through the invisible force, creating a rift in the void.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The endless sound of explosions echoed. Red Ridge Immortal and the others could only use their immortal power to form protective barriers, shielding themselves from the aftermath of the clash between two Earth Immortal-level powers. Since becoming true immortals, this was the first time they felt so powerless, like a leaf in a storm, helplessly tossed by terrifying waves.
This clash shook the entire Immortal Insect Valley. When the boundless power of Taichu and the invisible force finally dissipated, a massive fissure appeared within the valley. At the entrance of the valley, mountains had collapsed, the terrain obliterated, transforming what was once a valley into a bottomless abyss.
A vast expanse of void churned within, showcasing the extent of the devastation it had endured. Yet, amidst this desolation, Jiang Chengxuan and his companions were nowhere to be seen.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
...
Accompanied by thunderous roars, a colossal figure twisted through the rift in the void of the Immortal Insect Valley. This figure, ten times larger than the Demon Spider Immortal, was hidden within the void, causing countless insect demons to bow and cower.
Its appearance caused the valley’s very laws of nature to tremble and boil.
“Roar——!”
However, the target it sought had already left. Bound by certain constraints, it could not leave the Immortal Insect Valley. Even such a fearsome existence could only roar in frustration before departing. The valley trembled once more due to its rage.
…..
At this moment, in a dense forest outside the Immortal Insect Valley, a spatial gate gradually materialized, shimmering with silver energy. From within, figures stepped out, their faces filled with lingering fear.
“Whew——!”
“What a terrifying aura, we owe our lives to Daoist Jiang’s intervention.”
These people, needless to say, were Jiang Chengxuan, Red Ridge Immortal, and their companions. When faced with the obstruction of the Earth Immortal-level insect demon, Jiang Chengxuan had used the power of Taichu Water-Fire to neutralize the attack. Without hesitation, he then utilized his mastery of spatial manipulation to teleport everyone outside the valley.
Once again, Jiang Chengxuan had single-handedly turned the tide, saving everyone’s lives.
“Thank you, Daoist Jiang.”
“Thank you, Daoist Jiang.”
Even the typically aloof Heavenly Clear Immortal and the previously contentious Thick Earth Immortal Elder expressed their gratitude to Jiang Chengxuan after this ordeal. Absolute power commanded absolute respect. Witnessing Jiang Chengxuan’s true strength, they now regarded him as a venerable elder.
“It’s nothing. Since we are a team, we naturally help each other,” Jiang Chengxuan replied with a calm smile, undisturbed by praise. Although he had his own motives for this expedition, he never intended to use his companions as mere pawns. He was not the type of cultivator who resorted to such cruel methods.
Hearing this, the others showed expressions of gratitude and admiration for Jiang Chengxuan.
“Sigh, it seems we should avoid these forbidden lands in the future.”
“Indeed. Opportunities are valuable, but one must survive to enjoy them.”
Holding the fragments of the Primal Sky Pillar, Red Ridge Immortal and Heavenly Clear Immortal sighed in agreement. Despite the perilous journey, they had ultimately acquired the Primal Sky Pillar.
Though some immortal treasures were lost, the gain was still worthwhile. Only the Thick Earth Immortal Elder appeared mournful, for the Primal Sky Pillar, while precious, was not worth the life of a true immortal.
…
“Daoist Jiang, Daoist Shen, we must take our leave now.”
“Sister Shen, until we meet again.”
“Daoist Jiang, farewell, and thank you!”
Several days later, in a secluded area outside the Immortal Insect Valley, the group, having rested and recovered, prepared to leave. Before Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan stood Red Ridge Immortal and the female cultivator from Feng Tian Immortal Sect, expressing their gratitude with gentle words.
Heavenly Clear Immortal also bid farewell solemnly. The Thick Earth Immortal Elder had already left earlier to report the news of his fellow elder’s demise to their sect.
“Safe travels, everyone,” Jiang Chengxuan said with a calm farewell gesture, and Shen Ruyan smiled and bid them goodbye. Soon, the trio of Red Ridge Immortal transformed into streaks of light and flew into the distance.
As the mountain breeze blew, only Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan remained.
“Husband, about the Five Elements Immortal Stone…” Shen Ruyan asked softly after the others had departed. Despite acquiring the Primal Sky Pillar, they had yet to find the Five Elements Immortal Stone they sought.
“Don’t worry, my dear. I have made preparations. We should soon discover its location,” Jiang Chengxuan replied confidently with a smile.
No sooner had he spoken than he sensed a subtle disturbance. With a joyful expression, he activated his immortal power. Before Shen Ruyan’s curious eyes, a ripple formed in the void, revealing the figure of a wolf-like creature—Jiang Chengxuan’s spatial puppet from the ancient relic.
“This is…”
Seeing this, Shen Ruyan’s eyes brightened with realization.
Jiang Chengxuan retrieved the spatial puppet, and a mysterious light emerged from its body, entering his brow.
“Heh, just as I thought,” Jiang Chengxuan chuckled, seeing the images in his mind—scenes from within the Immortal Insect Valley. The final image was of an unremarkable large black stone sitting in a deep pool.
Only the surface cracks hinted at its extraordinary nature, as it emitted pure Five Elements Divine Light. There was no doubt it was the Five Elements Immortal Stone!
During their previous battle with the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal, Jiang Chengxuan had left the spatial puppet in the valley to search for the stone. Their escape and the ensuing chaos had drawn the attention of countless insect demons, allowing the stealthy puppet to explore without hindrance.
Over several days, the puppet had fulfilled its mission, bringing back crucial information about the Five Elements Immortal Stone.
“Wonderful! Husband, your foresight is truly remarkable!” Shen Ruyan exclaimed, now understanding everything.
“Let’s go, dear. The Insect Valley is currently lax. We’ll get the stone and leave quickly,” Jiang Chengxuan said, smiling as he took Shen Ruyan’s hand. They transformed into shadows and re-entered the valley.

With the valley recovering from the previous onslaught, the insect demons believed the intruders had left for good, unaware that Jiang Chengxuan’s true target remained within. Using the intelligence gathered from their previous incursion, Jiang Chengxuan mapped a covert route.
Utilizing his spatial mastery, he and Shen Ruyan moved almost unhindered, delving deep into the valley and reaching the subterranean world once more. Guided by the spatial puppet’s information, they soon found themselves before an unremarkable deep pool.
