Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 1277

Chapter 1277: Shen Ruyan’s Breakthrough Part 2
Editor: Henyee Translations

Various mysterious fluctuations and energies dispersed as the two cultivated, with nine-colored immortal light swirling endlessly. The powerful force of their Dao principles manifested countless visions, incredibly magnificent.

During their journey to the Immortal Insect Valley and through the transactions at the Myriad Treasures Immortal Fair, they had obtained all the materials necessary for their breakthroughs. Especially for Shen Ruyan, the influence of the Five Elements Immortal Stone had impacted her bottleneck, giving her the opportunity to break through to the True Immortal realm.

As the two settled into their cultivation, countless insights surged into their consciousness like a tide. The enlightenment gained in the Primordial Land, the battle experiences in the Immortal Insect Valley, and the rules of the immortal realm contained within the various immortal materials around them all naturally integrated into their cultivation.

Gradually, the two entered a profound state of enlightenment, their cultivation techniques continuously operating, absorbing the surrounding immortal energy and forming a massive vortex.

Time lost its meaning in this state, quietly slipping by. The cave was extremely serene, with only the sound of immortal energy circulating and the transformation of various visions.

Around Shen Ruyan, the Primordial Divine Thunder transformed into dragon-like shadows, spiraling endlessly, silently roaring and stirring the surrounding Dao principles. The Primordial Wind also swept through, revealing the scenes of the universe and the birth of the world. The laws of life and death extended out, depicting the life and death cycles of countless ancient beings in the immortal realm.

This scene clearly indicated that Shen Ruyan’s state had reached perfection, almost stepping half a foot into the True Immortal realm. Her confidence in breaking through was even greater than Jiang Chengxuan’s during his own breakthrough. After all, her progress was supported by both the Primordial power and the opportunity from the Five Elements Immortal Stone, making it an extraordinary feat in the entire immortal realm.

On the other hand, Jiang Chengxuan’s cultivation seemed relatively calm. The power of the Five Elements, Samsara, and Life and Death Dao principles only slightly manifested, shrouding the surroundings in a hazy scene without particularly strong energy. However, the immortal power emanating from him was immense, enveloping the entire cave. This was because Jiang Chengxuan wasn’t attempting to break through just yet; he was adjusting his state, preparing for the right moment for his true breakthrough.

As time passed, in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had gone by.

One day, in the cave where Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan resided, an extremely powerful force suddenly erupted. In the sky above, the sensing power from the void rapidly surged, and the will of the immortal realm descended, shaking the entire area.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Thunderous roars echoed continuously as massive bolts of lightning tore through the sky, as if the heavens themselves were being ripped apart. Each bolt of lightning carried an overwhelming and terrifying force.

At this moment, all the cultivators within the Scattered Immortals Alliance immediately sensed the disturbance, looking up in shock towards the sky.

“What… What is happening? What’s going on?”

“Could it be an enemy attack?”

Some of the disciples, unaware of the situation, cried out in fear, dumbfounded by the sudden phenomenon.

Soon after, some elders and senior disciples explained:

“This is the core of our Scattered Immortals Alliance, who could possibly invade here?”

“I believe this is the phenomenon of a breakthrough by one of our elders.”

Over the years, as the strength of the Scattered Immortals Alliance grew, elders frequently broke through to higher realms. Therefore, this sudden change was quickly recognized by many as a sign of a breakthrough.

“But… I remember that when Elder He broke through, it wasn’t nearly this terrifying…”

Some disciples, still doubtful, asked with uncertainty, awed by the increasingly intense phenomenon.

Hearing this, the elder who was explaining furrowed his brow and then spoke with reverence:

“This must be… a breakthrough to the True Immortal realm!”

“We are about to have another True Immortal powerhouse in our Scattered Immortals Alliance!”

These words sent a shockwave through the disciples present, followed by a wave of excitement and joy. Undoubtedly, this news was a major cause for celebration among them.

Although the Scattered Immortals Alliance had expanded rapidly, True Immortal-level combat power remained scarce, with only the former alliance leader and the legendary Elder Jiang reaching this level. Now, with another True Immortal joining their ranks, it solidified the Alliance’s position as a major force in the mid-to-upper echelon of the immortal realm.

As a result, this momentous news quickly drew the attention of numerous elders from the Alliance. Beyond the increasingly intense phenomenon, many figures could be seen standing in the void, watching with anticipation.

Among them were Feng Xue and Old Man Su, both well aware of who was undergoing the breakthrough.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Finally, after a long period, a deafening explosion resounded, accompanied by a dazzling burst of mysterious light that caused the heavens and earth to change color.

In the void, a towering manifestation appeared, both sacred and majestic, embodying the form of Shen Ruyan. She was imbued with the power of the Primordial Divine Thunder and stood atop the Profound Wind, an awe-inspiring sight!

This spectacle elicited gasps of amazement from countless members of the Scattered Immortals Alliance. In their eyes, two figures slowly emerged from the center of the phenomenon, draped in immortal light, exuding a natural aura of authority.

“Chengxuan! Ruyan!”

“Brother Jiang!”

“Ruyan!”

Immediately, Qin Shenwu, Feng Xue, and Old Man Su called out in excitement, moving forward to greet them.

Countless disciples and elders of the Scattered Immortals Alliance also followed suit, gathering in droves to witness the immortal presence of the two.

“Congratulations! Congratulations, Elder Ruyan, on breaking through to the True Immortal realm!

You have added another great power to our Scattered Immortals Alliance.”

The elders of the council were the first to offer their congratulations to Shen Ruyan, each taking out various immortal treasures as gifts.

For a while, the entire space was filled with brilliant immortal light and the dense aura of the nine-colored energy, making it a dazzling sight.

“Thank you, elders.”

Shen Ruyan smiled gracefully, accepting the gifts without hesitation and exchanging pleasantries with the group. Although she wasn’t particularly close to these elders, it was customary to maintain proper etiquette.

Thus, the celebrations carried on, taking up the better part of the day.

By the time the sun had set, the congratulations from the elders had concluded, and the disciples who had gathered to watch gradually dispersed, marveling at what they had witnessed.

It was likely that Shen Ruyan’s peerless presence and unrivaled demeanor would become the inspiration for many generations of disciples in the Scattered Immortals Alliance.

“Chengxuan, are you ready?”

As Shen Ruyan continued to chat with Old Man Su and Feng Xue, Qin Shenwu approached Jiang Chengxuan with a serious expression.

He knew that the main event wasn’t Shen Ruyan’s breakthrough to True Immortal but Jiang Chengxuan’s preparations to ascend to the Earth Immortal realm.

“Yes, everything is in place.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled, his eyes gleaming with determination.

During the past hundred years, he had adjusted his state to its peak, refining his power and clearing his mind of all distractions.

All preparations for his breakthrough to Earth Immortal were complete; now, it was just a matter of arranging the final steps before he could begin.

“So… when do you plan to start?”

Qin Shenwu asked with concern.

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes sharpened as he responded,

“In seven days!”

…

Shen Ruyan’s breakthrough to True Immortal was a significant event for the Scattered Immortals Alliance, one that warranted a grand meeting of the elders to celebrate.

Today, in the grand hall of the Scattered Immortals Alliance, all the inner council elders had gathered.

Dozens of figures clad in luxurious robes sat around a long white jade table, their expressions filled with joy and their spirits high.

However, while the main focus of this meeting was on Shen Ruyan, Jiang Chengxuan was also seated at the head of the table.

This detail did not go unnoticed by some of the more astute elders, who began to suspect that, besides celebrating Elder Shen’s achievement, there was likely another important announcement from Elder Jiang.

“Everyone, you all know why we are gathered here today!

Our Scattered Immortals Alliance has been blessed with good fortune as we recently welcomed another True Immortal powerhouse into our ranks!

Congratulations to Elder Shen!”
