Chapter 1256: The Secret of the Celestial Stone, Celestial Insect Valley, Part 1

Editor: Henyee Translations

Within the second layer of the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal Fair, the celestial energy was even more abundant, hidden within multiple celestial arrays designed to condense and harness the energy.

Scattered among the various pavilions were roughly a hundred celestial beings, each adorned in luxurious attire and exuding celestial auras.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan entered, many eyes turned towards them. The aura of these onlookers, though restrained, was immensely powerful. Even Jiang Chengxuan, who had recently arrived in the Profound Underworld Celestial Domain, recognized several sect leaders among them.

Most of these individuals held high positions within respectable celestial sects. Although they were curious about Jiang Chengxuan, they refrained from initiating conversation. They couldn’t identify his status, and his unassuming demeanor led them to believe he wasn’t of significant importance. Only a few nodded politely at him before resuming their discussions.

For these high-ranking sect members, the second layer of the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal Fair was a place to foster inter-sect relationships.

“Are the two esteemed guests here to trade treasures?” A servant of the fair approached Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan with a respectful bow.

...

Jiang Chengxuan nodded, “I am looking for a treasure called the Five Elements Celestial Stone. Is there anyone here who possesses it?”

He had been informed about the procedures of the second layer beforehand. Every trader had to register their treasures with the fair, making it easy to find specific items by asking the servants.

“Allow me to check,” the servant replied, retrieving a jade slip and scanning through its contents. After a few moments, he looked up with a somewhat apologetic expression, “I regret to inform you that none of the esteemed guests on the second layer have brought a Five Elements Celestial Stone for trade.”

Jiang Chengxuan had anticipated this but still sighed in disappointment. The Five Elements Celestial Stone was essential for reaching the Earth Immortal realm. It was so rare that almost no one would trade it unless offered something of equal or greater value. Even Jiang Chengxuan’s Primal Water and Fire Sword wasn’t worth such a loss.

“Dear husband…” Shen Ruyan began, about to comfort Jiang Chengxuan, when the servant’s communication jade lit up. He received a message, and his demeanor became more formal.

“Honored guest, our respected elder of the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal Fair has information regarding the Five Elements Celestial Stone. He wishes to discuss it with you. Would you be willing to meet with him?”

This sudden turn of events surprised Jiang Chengxuan. After a brief moment of contemplation, he nodded. The servant led them deeper into the second layer.

As they walked through corridors illuminated by celestial light, Jiang Chengxuan pondered. The elder must be the Earth Immortal who had made an appearance earlier. But why had he taken an interest in Jiang Chengxuan, and why was he willing to help him obtain the Five Elements Celestial Stone?

These questions occupied Jiang Chengxuan’s thoughts until they reached their destination—a quaint water pavilion where a slightly portly elder sat. The elder, dressed in opulent clothing and holding a staff made of celestial wood, exuded an aura of wealth.

“Welcome, esteemed guests,” the elder said warmly, inviting them to sit.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan bowed and took their seats. “Might I ask about the matter concerning the Five Elements Celestial Stone?” Jiang Chengxuan inquired directly.

The elder stroked his white beard and smiled. “I saw your transaction in the eastern district of the fair. I deduced that you might be seeking the Five Elements Celestial Stone for your breakthrough to the Earth Immortal realm.”

This explanation eased Jiang Chengxuan’s suspicions. The elder had no hidden agenda but was acting on a merchant’s instinct, deducing Jiang Chengxuan’s need from his transactions. This openness was a gesture of goodwill, indicating no deceit.

“Indeed, the Five Elements Celestial Stone is rare and rarely traded. However, I do have information about its whereabouts…” The elder’s words were deliberate.

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed. “What do you require in exchange for this information?”

He knew there would be a price for such valuable information. The elder smiled, appreciating Jiang Chengxuan’s straightforwardness.

“To be honest, this is not a simple matter,” the elder began. “The Five Elements Celestial Stone is rumored to be found in a dangerous place known as the Celestial Insect Valley. It is a perilous region, infested with powerful celestial insects that even true immortals avoid.

I seek someone capable to retrieve a special treasure from there—a Celestial Insect Core. In exchange, I will provide you with the detailed location and necessary information about the Five Elements Celestial Stone.”

Jiang Chengxuan listened intently. The task was dangerous, but the reward was invaluable. He exchanged a glance with Shen Ruyan, who nodded in silent agreement.

“We accept,” Jiang Chengxuan replied firmly.

The elder’s smile broadened. “Excellent. I will provide you with all the information you need. May fortune favor you on this perilous journey.”

With the terms agreed upon, the elder handed Jiang Chengxuan a jade slip containing detailed information about the Celestial Insect Valley and the Five Elements Celestial Stone. Equipped with this crucial intel, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan prepared to embark on their next great adventure.
