After returning, Jiang Chen quickly found a tranquil chamber to rest and recover.
The secret arts chosen for him by Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were self-damaging in nature, though the effects were relatively mild. By using them wisely, he managed to keep the repercussions to a minimum.
He didn't need pills to restore himself; the Burning World Red Lotus's natural healing abilities were more than enough.
As he recuperated, Jiang Chen even found the strength to purify the impurities within the Nether Soul Crystals.
Time slipped by unnoticed.
Three hours later, a message of good news arrived through Jiang Chen's transmission jade token.
The conflict at Verdant Leaf Giant Peak had come to an end.
Dong Yuanzheng and three deputy palace lords from the Imperial Extreme Heavenly Palace had met their demise, leaving only Deputy Palace Lord Gan Xiangwen as the sole surviving Dao Palace realm powerhouse.
