Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177: Gaining Opportunities and Two Sides in Conflict
Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chengxuan took a deep breath and spoke. After the initial excitement, he felt a sense of concern. He understood that the power of this bottle was far more terrifying than he had imagined. If it were to fall into the hands of others in the celestial realm, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar.

“As long as I am careful.”

“With this item, I’ll never lack cultivation resources again…”

Finally, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression turned serious as he steadied his mind. With such a fortune at hand, he couldn’t afford to give it up. As an alchemist, he could discreetly utilize this item’s power without attracting attention.

With that thought, Jiang Chengxuan safely stored the bottle and left the treehouse, which had now transformed into a tree cavity. Thus, he finally finished exploring the vast forest and, with his newfound treasure, departed under the farewell of countless giant trees.

…

Months later, in a mountain range, Jiang Chengxuan concealed his aura, appearing like an ordinary cultivator. Since leaving the forest of giant trees, he had been traveling in one direction, slowly seeking opportunities.

During these few months, he hadn’t found much. However, along the way, Jiang Chengxuan had encountered numerous sect cultivators, even spotting lone disciples from the Phoenix Heaven Sect. As a result, he chose the safest way to travel, avoiding any conflicts.

Yet, as if fate were toying with him, Jiang Chengxuan, walking along a mountain path, encountered cultivators from other sects. Suddenly, spatial fluctuations erupted above him, and to his surprise, dozens of powerful sect cultivators appeared, brimming with intense energy.

The two groups clashed immediately, releasing powerful divine abilities and enveloping the area with spiritual pressure. Blinding celestial light beams shot across the sky, striking at each other relentlessly.

“Boom!”

A massive spatial storm erupted overhead, chaotic energy shattering the void, causing countless towering peaks to collapse.

“What’s happening?”

Even Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but gasp at the sight. The sudden turn of events left him no time to react. Fortunately, the cultivators were too focused on their battle to notice him. Thanks to his concealed aura and the chaotic battle’s cover, he remained unnoticed for now.

However, being in the middle of this fierce battleground, there was no way for him to leave unnoticed. Reluctantly, Jiang Chengxuan found a ruined area to hide in, using his celestial techniques to shield his aura, silently waiting for a chance to escape.

In the sky above, the battle intensified rapidly. Both sides displayed their Daoist powers and wielded celestial treasures, launching relentless attacks at each other.

Observing closely, Jiang Chengxuan recognized one of the factions–he had encountered them when he first entered the ancient relic and ventured into the swampy forest. They had almost discovered him during his fight with the poisonous vines.

However, their situation had now reversed. Back then, Jiang Chengxuan was in a precarious position due to the swamp forest’s dangers and their pursuit. Now, this faction was being overpowered by their stronger opponents, retreating miserably.

Among the leaders of the losing faction were two Transformation Immortal cultivators: a white-haired elder and a burly man resembling a bear, both severely wounded and unstable in their auras. Their opponents, on the other hand, had three Transformation Immortal cultivators, clearly superior.

“Hmph! Did you think activating the mechanism would allow you to escape?!”

“Tell us everything you know, or you’ll all die here today!”

In the midst of the brutal battle, the opponent facing the burly man coldly demanded.

“What are you talking about? We don’t know anything!” the burly man responded, barely fending off the attack, his voice filled with frustration.

“You’ve already taken the treasure. Why are you still pursuing us? This is outrageous!”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan began to understand the situation. It seemed that the faction he had previously encountered had discovered some opportunity within the ancient relic and went to seek it out. However, at a critical moment, their opponents intercepted them, seizing the treasure.

During the process, the interceptors apparently gleaned some information, believing that the faction Jiang Chengxuan had met knew more about the ancient relic’s secrets. Despite activating a mechanism to teleport away, the interceptors pursued them relentlessly, determined to uncover the secrets.

“Hmph!”

While Jiang Chengxuan was pondering, the leader of the pursuers did not accept the explanation. His eyes filled with a sinister gleam, he unleashed even more terrifying power.

“If you won’t talk, I’ll cripple you first and see if you can still lie!”

With that, the Transformation Immortal cultivator revealed his full strength, his aura surging to the peak of the Transformation Immortal stage, nearly touching the Ascendant Immortal level.

Seeing this, the white-haired elder and the burly man turned pale, their expressions grim. Before they could react, the powerful enemy attacked again.

Blood seas materialized in the void, exuding Daoist power, corroding everything they touched.

“Crush them!”

Under the command of the half-step Ascendant Immortal, the blood seas surged violently, forming three colossal waves, crashing down on the white-haired elder’s group like descending heavens.

The terrifying celestial power filled the entire area, enveloping everything in blood seas. The white-haired elder’s faction wore expressions of despair, their spirits crushed. Even the white-haired elder and the burly man felt overwhelmed, forced to summon their celestial treasures, desperately counterattacking.

“Boom!”

Under Jiang Chengxuan’s watchful eyes, the two forces collided, creating a massive shockwave, filling the void with blinding energy. The ruins where Jiang Chengxuan hid were further destroyed, collapsing more peaks.

“Ah!”

The force was too overwhelming for any cultivator below the Transformation Immortal stage to withstand. As the blood seas swept over the white-haired elder’s defenses, several pinnacle Immortal cultivators screamed, killed instantly, becoming part of the bloody waves.

The blood seas did not stop, surging back and forth under the half-step Ascendant Immortal’s control, bringing more screams.

“This is the price for defiance! Hahaha!”

The half-step Ascendant Immortal laughed maniacally as his terrifying power crushed the opposing faction. Only the two Transformation Immortal cultivators remained alive, their disciples slaughtered, leaving no trace of their bodies.

The brutal sight made the white-haired elder and the burly man furious beyond measure. They glared at the enemies with eyes filled with rage and sorrow. The disciples who had just fallen were the hope of their sect, the pillars that supported their future.

They had intended to take these disciples out for training, hoping to gain some fortuitous opportunities. Yet, in the blink of an eye, they had all perished.
