Chapter 1784: Subduing the Treasure, Continuing the Exploration (Part 1)

The Cosmic Core itself possessed a remarkably formidable power.

Ordinary methods could not hope to subdue it, which was why an ancient Golden Immortal had sought out a being like the Bixi Colossus to suppress it, sealing it deep within the desert of this ancient Golden Immortal’s cavern.

However, this so-called formidable power appeared rather insignificant before Jiang Chengxuan.

With the aid of the Ninefold Bodhi Lotus Lantern, he had already half-stepped into the Golden Immortal realm.

Within the grasp of his hand, with the combined might of absolute suppression and the binding power of the Eternal Manifestation Sutra, the Cosmic Core could hardly stir up the slightest resistance.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the object in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand glowed like a golden sun.

Dense binding force completely sealed the Cosmic Core, preventing even the faintest trace of its aura from escaping.

“Roar—!”

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, amidst the raging sandstorm,

the Bixi Colossus, which had been relentlessly chasing after Yun Tian and Yun Di, suddenly sensed something and let out a low, thunderous roar.

A complicated and conflicted expression flickered across its eyes.

On one hand was the long-coveted Immortal Medicine King; on the other, its duty and mission.

For the Bixi Colossus, whose intelligence was limited, this was an agonizing choice.

At this moment, Yun Tian and Yun Di also furrowed their brows, quickly noticing the abnormal behavior of the giant creature behind them.

Without hesitation, they slowed their pace and lifted the Immortal Medicine King high into the air.

Like a shining star, the Immortal Medicine King radiated an irresistible temptation,

vowing to completely destabilize the guardian beast’s will.

Unsurprisingly, their actions were effective. Feeling the vibrant life force and energy from the Immortal Medicine King,

the Bixi Colossus wavered once more, the enormous dragon-beast shifting its gaze restlessly from side to side.

Its conflicted appearance made Yun Tian and Yun Di both inwardly amused and curious.

Thus, amidst the sandstorm, the two cultivators and the colossal beast found themselves locked in a strange standoff.

Time slowly passed as the Bixi Colossus stood there stiffly like a punished child, constantly glancing at Yun Tian and Yun Di,

yet refusing to take even a single step forward.

This situation, of course, pleased Yun Tian and Yun Di.

Holding the Immortal Medicine King, they quietly accompanied the beast in the desert, remaining motionless.

“Roar—”

No one knew how much time had passed before the Bixi Colossus seemed to finally make up its mind.

With an incredibly heavy roar, it turned around and began to leave.

Amidst the thunderous collapse of earth and stone, it tread across the surging sands, heading back toward its original position.

“Not good! It figured it out!”

Seeing this, Yun Tian and Yun Di both exclaimed in alarm, anxiety rising in their hearts.

They had no way of knowing whether Jiang Chengxuan had successfully subdued the Cosmic Core — this matter was of utmost importance.

If they failed this time, it would be almost impossible to attempt the same trick again.

With this in mind, the two hesitated no further.

They immediately turned and followed closely behind the departing Bixi Colossus,

the fragrance of the Immortal Medicine King wafting through the air, imbued with immortal energy, constantly trying to lure the beast.

Yet, the Bixi Colossus seemed as immovable as stone.

Once it had made a decision, it was utterly resolute.

Even the once-tempting Immortal Medicine King no longer stirred its heart; instead, it moved forward with unwavering determination.

Even when Yun Tian and Yun Di risked approaching it extremely closely, the beast showed no reaction.

Realizing this, the two cultivators sighed, understanding that the creature’s mind was made up, and ceased their attempts.

Now, whether the Cosmic Core could be subdued depended entirely on Jiang Chengxuan’s fortunes.

“Boom… boom… boom…”

Before long, under the powerful thrust of the flowing sands, the towering figure of the Bixi Colossus reappeared at the original site.

Following it closely, Yun Tian and Yun Di craned their necks anxiously,

peering through the sandstorm towards where the Cosmic Core had been.

“There’s no need to look anymore — it’s already gone.”

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside them.

Startled at first, then overjoyed, they turned toward the familiar figure.

Who else could it be but Jiang Chengxuan?

In his hand, he held a golden orb that slowly spun, radiating golden light,

occasionally leaking a trace of a terrifying aura.

Seeing this, Yun Tian and Yun Di both broke into smiles, immediately understanding that Jiang Chengxuan had successfully subdued the Cosmic Core.

“Hahaha! Congratulations, Daoist Friend!”

They both congratulated Jiang Chengxuan and handed the Immortal Medicine King back to him.

“Heh, thank you both. Here’s a small token of appreciation — consider it traveling expenses.”

Jiang Chengxuan accepted the Immortal Medicine King, storing it once again within his inner world,

and with a courteous gesture, offered two treasured immortal pills to Yun Tian and Yun Di as a gesture of gratitude.

However, the two refused the gifts without hesitation, replying:

“Ah, there’s no need for that. This was all your arrangement, Daoist Friend. We merely followed instructions — we don’t deserve a reward!”

“Indeed! Daoist Friend has done a great service to our Yunlan Immortal Sect. Lending a small hand is the least we can do.”

No matter how Jiang Chengxuan tried to persuade them, they firmly declined with righteous sincerity.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan did not insist, respecting their heartfelt gratitude.

Thus, this small interlude came to an end.

By a twist of fate.
