Jiang Chengxuan was fully aware of the stakes involved.

After careful consideration, he held up five fingers and said,

“There’s about a 50% chance of success for this plan, including all potential unexpected situations. This even accounts for the possibility of Soul Formation demonic cultivators personally intervening.”

“Fifty percent?” Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s estimate, Su Qingchan and the others fell into deep thought.

A 50% success rate was quite significant, especially considering it included variables like the intervention of Soul Formation demonic cultivators.

Without these variables, Su Qingchan believed the chances might be even higher, reaching 60 or even 70%.

It had to be said that this was indeed a very tempting plan.

Especially if they succeeded, the benefits they would receive would be huge.

It was so big that even a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord could not ignore it.

However, high rewards often come with high risks.

Personally, Su Qingchan was willing to take the risk, but such a significant decision couldn’t be made by her alone.

She needed to consult with other peak Nascent Soul cultivators and report to her Shifu, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, to gauge their stance on the matter.

If they agreed and were willing to let them take this gamble, there would naturally be no problem.

On the contrary, they had to reconsider and discuss other countermeasures.

Su Qingchan did not hide anything and told Jiang Chengxuan her thoughts.

She also inquired about the time he and Shen Ruyan would need to advance to the later stage of Nascent Soul.

After all, the most important part of this plan was that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had to break through to the late-stage Nascent Soul.

Jiang Chengxuan clearly knew this very well. He couldn’t help but think for a moment and say,

“Within thirty years, both my wife and I should be able to advance to the late stage of Nascent Soul.”

“Thirty years?” Su Qingchan nodded slightly. Thirty years wasn’t a long time.

Compared to the hundred-year demonic calamity that they might have to experience, this time was less than half.

Moreover, the next few decades were expected to be a relatively stagnant phase in the war with the demonic cultivators, a so-called ‘quiet period.’

This quiet period didn’t mean an absence of conflict. Battles would continue, but they wouldn’t be as intense as the initial or final stages of the calamity.

So.

Given this timeframe, Su Qingchan and the others could afford to wait..

They tentatively agreed on the plan and made everyone present swear not to disclose it.

After finalizing their agreement, Jiang Chengxuan and Su Qingchan took their leave.

On their way back, Jiang Chengxuan and Su Qingchan engaged in a deep discussion about the demonic calamity, exchanging insights and strategies.

It was not until Jiang Chengxuan approached the Spiritual Island of the Vast River that he bid farewell to Su Qingchan.

When Jiang Chengxuan returned to the Spiritual Island of the Vast River, Shen Ruyan and Dugu Baifei immediately asked Jiang Chengxuan about the situation outside.

Jiang Chengxuan, without any concealment, detailed the events and discussions that had transpired during his journey.

Everyone was surprised to learn about the perilous situation that even Su Qingchan, a Nascent Soul grand cultivator, had nearly faced.

Of course.

What shocked them the most was the plan Jiang Chengxuan and Su Qingchan had tentatively agreed upon.

The sheer audacity of it was almost inconceivable.

They really did not dare to imagine what kind of tragic scene it would be if this plan really began to be carried out.

Yet, they couldn’t deny that it seemed to be the best countermeasure and strategy available to the human race at the moment.

The potential benefits of success were immense for anyone who survived.

“Wife, I apologize for not consulting with you before agreeing to this on your behalf,” Jiang Chengxuan said to Shen Ruyan in their temporary cave abode, a hint of apology in his voice.

However, Shen Ruyan just smiled and shook her head. “Husband, there’s no need for apologies. Your decision is mine as well. I always stand by your choices.”

Touched by her words, Jiang Chengxuan felt a deep sense of gratitude. The couple wasted no time and began their secluded cultivation after entrusting the defense duties to Dugu Baifei and the others.

Meanwhile, as Jiang Chengxuan started his cultivation, he received a system notification in his mind.

[System mission issued. Host, please complete the achievement of killing a hundred Nascent Soul demonic cultivators.]

This system task piqued Jiang Chengxuan’s interest. “Slaying a hundred Nascent Soul demonic cultivators? This is indeed intriguing,” he thought, narrowing his eyes contemplatively.

At the same time.

Su Qingchan, upon returning to her front line, immediately reported the plan discussed with Jiang Chengxuan to her Shifu, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, for further consideration and approval..
