Chapter 944: System Reward, Hundred Arts of Cultivation Pill
Editor: Henyee Translations
The battle to exterminate the abyssal demons lasted for several days, turning the skies different colors.
With the human cultivators’ army already holding the advantage in strength against the demoralized demon army, the outcome of this war, under such favorable conditions, was naturally without any suspense.
As the last Dao Fusion demon leader fell to Shen Ruyan’s Five Lightning Immortal Slayer, not a single complete demon could be seen in the area anymore.
On the scarred land, pieces of demonic flesh were scattered everywhere, with black blood pooling into rivers, and various sinister remnants from the abyss lying across the battlefield, emitting eerie auras.
The corpses of the five Dao Fusion demon leaders were particularly conspicuous, all heavily wounded, resembling mined-out mountains, with only their demonic auras unwilling to dissipate and still proclaiming their once-glorious existence.
Countless Haoran Sect and New World garrison cultivators found this scene surreal, hard to believe.
After battling the abyssal demons for years, they knew all too well the cruelty and ferocity of these demons, which was hair-raising.
Yet now, those demons who had killed countless human cultivators and plundered numerous treasures of the New World were slaughtered and eradicated.
Tens of thousands of demon troops, with not a single survivor, were all annihilated!
Even after battling the abyssal demons relentlessly for over a decade, they had never achieved such miraculous results as they did today.
Moreover, this tens of thousands-strong demon army was originally planning a secret retreat from the battle zone.
Had they managed to pull back to their demonic fortresses, the difficulty of exterminating them would have increased tenfold.
Regardless, in this battle, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan played pivotal roles, creating a miraculous outcome in the New World’s war against the abyssal demons.
However, at this moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s attention was drawn to the system’s voice in his mind.
After eradicating the abyssal demon army, completing the task of slaying a thousand abyssal demons naturally followed, he received his reward.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the feat of slaying a thousand abyssal demons.]
[Receive system reward: three Hundred Arts of Cultivation Pills. Upon consumption, any one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation skills will breakthrough.]
[However, the Cultivation Art that achieves breakthrough via this method will not be eligible for system rewards again.]
Upon hearing the system’s announcement, Jiang Chengxuan knew he had stumbled upon something valuable.
Hundred Arts of Cultivation Pills, pills that could directly enhance the level of Cultivation Arts, were utterly astonishing.
Every Cultivation Art requires one’s own understanding and practice to reach a higher level.
Unlike minor thresholds in cultivation, which just need a bit of insight and can be overcome with the accumulation of Dharmic power and Dao, breaking through in Cultivation Arts often requires a breakthrough in self-awareness, achieving a higher level naturally.
Yet, the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Pill could defy common knowledge. How could Jiang Chengxuan not be surprised?
Even though the breakthroughs achieved with this pill won’t be eligible for system rewards, their value is still immense.
As one advances to higher realms, breakthroughs become increasingly difficult, sometimes taking hundreds of years just to nudge slightly.
Going forward, as his realm increases, it would be challenging for his Cultivation Arts to keep pace with his cultivation progress.
The Hundred Arts of Cultivation Pill rewarded by the system undoubtedly solves a significant future problem for Jiang Chengxuan.
Currently, his mastery in the Cultivation Arts, such as alchemy, artifact refinement, array making, and talisman making, are all at the seventh level.
They would probably only be of great help to cultivators below the Dao Integration realm.
Now at the Dao Fusion level, his existing skills undoubtedly became somewhat insignificant.
However, advancing these skills to the eighth level with the Cultivation Arts Pill would change everything.
With the various Cultivation Arts complementing each other, his path of cultivation would surely surpass others at the same level.
Gradually refocusing his mind, Jiang Chengxuan then put away the Cultivation Arts Pills and turned his attention back to the outside world.
By this time, the battle had completely subsided, and all the human cultivators were looking at Jiang Chengxuan, waiting for his instructions.
Seeing Jiang Chengxuan finally make a move, they immediately showed hopeful expressions.
“Vice Sect Master, the demon army has been completely annihilated! What shall we do next?”
At this moment, the leading Saint from the Haoran Sect who came to support stepped forward and spoke.
His expression was very excited, and his voice trembled with reverence.
Initially skeptical about this newly appointed Vice Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, especially since Jiang Chengxuan had not been seen upon their arrival, only sending messages to deploy the troops.
If it weren’t for Jiang Chengxuan’s reputation within the Haoran Sect and having a Mahayana Daolord as his Shifu, he would not be able to command so many people for support.
Only now did he realize how terrifying Jiang Chengxuan’s strength truly was, shuddering at the thought of the consequences of neglecting his orders.
If he had delayed this miraculous battle, he would have been a sinner to the Haoran Sect and even to the human world.
But Jiang Chengxuan was unaware of his thoughts, assuming he was just overly excited, so he said,
“Now that it’s over, let’s clean up the battlefield. We’re not aware of the other demonic forces, so we won’t venture into battle recklessly.”
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan became quite cautious.
He knew that the tens of thousands of abyssal demons he had exterminated represented several garrisoned areas’ forces.
It was equivalent to liberating four or five human garrisoned areas at once.
This single battle could essentially cause the abyssal demons’ arrangements to collapse. There was no need to take any more risks.
Hearing his words, the initially ecstatic army of cultivators also calmed down.
This was indeed the case. At this moment, they couldn’t help but respect Jiang Chengxuan even more.
After all, a good leader not only needs courage and vigor but also knows when to retreat and advance.
Staying put was clearly the best option at this time.
So, the following time was spent cleaning the battlefield.
Besides seizing the resources and treasures plundered by the abyssal demons, their corpses also needed to be cleaned.
The existence of abyssal demons is a contamination, even in death.
The demonic rules left in the New World by the abyssal demons also had to be gradually cleared away.
As for the five abyssal demon leaders, three were dealt with by Jiang Chengxuan, one by Shen Ruyan, and the remaining one by the high-level human cultivators.
They manifested their own Dao to destroy the corpses of the demon leaders and sealed the demonic artifacts they used with their Dao.
This battle, which eradicated tens of thousands of abyssal demons, was immensely fruitful.
