Chapter 1445 Negotiations Break Down, Three Celestial Deities (Part 2)

Chapter 1445: Negotiations Break Down, Three Celestial Deities (Part 2) Chapter 1445: Negotiations Break Down, Three Celestial Deities (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations Naturally, Jiang Chengxuan knew very well that the Starshatter Plain held significant strategic value.

Releasing it was unimaginable for the Starry Celestial Sect unless the Wandering Immortal Alliance’s forces themselves were on the doorstep.

However, such a move would be a direct affront to the Zhongzhou cultivation world and would attract not only the Starry Celestial Sect’s wrath but that of many other powers.

The situation was more complex than it appeared.

“Since you two are so domineering, don’t expect my Starry Celestial Sect to show mercy!” Star Demon Elder snapped coldly, swinging his sleeve as he led the four elders away without looking back.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances, understanding passing between them without words, and made no effort to stop him.

Time passed slowly, each day adding refinement to the massive spatial array Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had set up.

The resplendent silver city of light grew ever more dazzling, drawing the attention of countless cultivators and sparking widespread curiosity about how the Starry Celestial Sect would respond.

As days went by, rumors spread rapidly, and other sects caught wind of what was happening.

“Has the Wandering Immortal Alliance gained another celestial deity?

Could it be that the Western Continent somehow avoided the full brunt of the Great Calamity?” some whispered.

“Investigate!

Find out what’s been happening in the Western Continent post-calamity!” commanded others.

“If he dares act so brazenly, Jiang Chengxuan must be certain of his strength,” mused others still.

Many sect leaders harbored growing unease, piecing together the information they could gather.

Notably, they learned that Shen Ruyan, too, had attained the status of celestial deity, a revelation that sent ripples across the Zhongzhou powers.

And as these factions sent intelligence operatives to investigate conditions in the Western Continent, they were shocked by the reports that returned, sparking upheaval in Zhongzhou.

“The Western Continent managed to suppress the calamity a thousand years ago?” “Impossible!

How could that be?” “Defeating the calamity… who could accomplish such a feat?” exclaimed many.

“Unbelievable!

Even combined, Zhongzhou’s sects couldn’t accomplish that.

How could a remote place like the Western Continent manage it?” Even among the most powerful in Zhongzhou, celestial deities who had faced the horrors of the accursed Tree of Calamity could scarcely believe it.

They knew that the Tree’s power surpassed even that of the celestial deities.

That the Western Continent managed to overcome such a force seemed absurd.

They concluded that the Great Calamity must have unfolded differently in the West, leaving Jiang Chengxuan and his allies with a unique advantage.

Whatever the explanation, the Western Continent’s unprecedented success demanded respect and caution.

It was undeniable that the Western Continent was now no longer an ordinary territory.

The once peripheral land was on the rise, destined to play a major role among the Five Immortal Domains.

… “So, that Jiang fellow dares to be so obstinate!” Star Demon Elder muttered as he received the latest report in his residence.

Upon hearing that the Western Continent had somehow achieved this feat, he realized why the Wandering Immortal Alliance had come so assertively to Zhongzhou.

“This is troubling news indeed…” Star Demon Elder sighed deeply, a frown darkening his brow.

It was clear to him now that his sect was just the first obstacle in the Western Continent’s path to prominence.

Then, with a surge of anger, he cursed the Scarlet Dragon Elder, blaming him for dragging them into this predicament.

The Western Continent’s powers had already laid their plans, and it was impossible to imagine they could reverse this situation without an open confrontation.

Losing a battle with Jiang Chengxuan and his people would severely weaken the Starry Celestial Sect.

“Have we heard anything from the Tianhai and Hua Ji sects?” Star Demon Elder asked after a long, brooding silence.

One of the disciples below him shifted nervously before stammering, “No reply, Elder.” The Tianhai and Hua Ji sects had always maintained close ties with the Starry Celestial Sect, and after negotiations with Jiang Chengxuan broke down, Star Demon Elder had sent messengers asking for their support.

But after learning of the Western Continent’s accomplishments, none of these sects had been willing to get involved.

No one wanted to wade into these dangerous waters.

“A bunch of short-sighted fools!” Star Demon Elder thundered, his voice shaking the residence.

“Do they not see that Jiang will inevitably bring war to Zhongzhou?

Their apathy only serves to deceive themselves!” The news of his allies’ refusal left him enraged, his face flushed with barely-contained fury.

“Elder Star Demon.” Just then, a new figure stepped quietly into the hall, calling his name.

The disciple on the floor bowed deeply.

“Greetings, Elder Star Waste.” The arrival was none other than Elder Star Waste, one of the Starry Celestial Sect’s other celestial deities.

Seeing him, Star Demon Elder’s eyes brightened with relief.

“Elder Star Waste, you’ve returned!” But Star Waste shook his head with a cryptic smile.

“Not just me…” Following his words, another figure emerged, an elderly man with a composed expression and dignified air.

“Elder Starfall!

You… you succeeded?” Star Demon Elder’s expression shifted from shock to uncontainable delight as he sensed the celestial aura emanating from the elderly figure.

Previously a peak True Immortal, Starfall Elder had now broken through to the celestial realm, his aura unmistakable.

The earlier transaction with the Scarlet Dragon Sect had provided the resources needed for Elder Starfall’s attempt to advance, but his success had been uncertain.

Now, after ten thousand years of cultivation, he had finally transcended the True Immortal realm.

“Ha ha ha!

The heavens favor our Starry Celestial Sect!” Star Demon Elder laughed loudly, his worries melting away in his laughter.

The presence of three celestial deities—himself, Star Waste, and the newly risen Starfall—meant they now had the strength to face Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan on equal footing.
