Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278: Breaking Through to the Earth Immortal Realm – Part 1
Editor: Henyee Translations

Within the grand hall, the assembly of elders from the Scattered Immortals Alliance had gathered, with the most senior among them announcing the news of Shen Ruyan’s breakthrough.

Immediately, everyone erupted into applause, offering their praises without reservation:

“This is wonderful! Congratulations, Elder Shen! Congratulations!”

“It seems the heavens are truly blessing our Scattered Immortals Alliance! Such great fortune!”

“Elder Shen is indeed a true blessing to our alliance!”

Amidst the chorus of admiration, Shen Ruyan, dressed in an immaculate immortal robe, slowly stood up. Bathed in celestial light, her appearance was both sacred and untouchable, exuding an extraordinary aura as she gently nodded toward everyone.

This scene left the assembled elders utterly amazed, filling their hearts with awe and giving them even more confidence in the future of the Scattered Immortals Alliance.

Following this, under the reverent gazes of the elders, Shen Ruyan spoke in a voice as clear and cool as moonlight. She casually shared her insights on cultivation and her vision for the future of the alliance.

When she finished speaking, the hall once again filled with voices of agreement, with everyone uttering pleasantries and polite expressions.

The purpose of this assembly was precisely this–to give the elders a chance to familiarize themselves with Shen Ruyan, so that in the future, they might have an established relationship when seeking her help. After all, the Scattered Immortals Alliance was not like a sect or clan where blood ties naturally maintained bonds among its members.

“Everyone, I also have an announcement to make.”

A short while later, when the congratulatory voices had almost subsided, a solemn voice suddenly resonated through the hall.

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, turning their attention to the figure who had just stood up. When they saw the tall and imposing figure of Jiang Chengxuan, they all adopted a more respectful demeanor and said:

“Elder Jiang, whatever you command, we will do our utmost to fulfill it and relieve you of any concerns.”

Jiang Chengxuan’s reputation was built upon the rise of the Scattered Immortals Alliance. Everyone knew that the alliance’s success was largely due to his efforts. Without his sudden emergence, the alliance would have long since crumbled, destroyed by the combined forces of other sects and factions, never reaching the heights it had achieved today.

“Thank you. I appreciate everyone’s dedication,” Jiang Chengxuan began, his expression serious. “But what I’m about to share isn’t something that requires great concern. Recently, I’ve felt a shift in my cultivation, an opportunity for a breakthrough. During this time, there may be some disturbances, and I hope the alliance can prepare accordingly.”

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan spoke, the entire hall fell into a stunned silence, with countless elders of the Scattered Immortals Alliance gasping in shock.

A breakthrough?

There was nothing unusual about that, except that everyone knew Jiang Chengxuan was already at the True Immortal level. If he were to break through again, wouldn’t that mean he was advancing to the Earth Immortal realm?

The title of Earth Immortal was a symbol of unparalleled power, representing the pinnacle of cultivation within the Xuanming Immortal Realm and beyond. An Earth Immortal could single-handedly establish a powerful sect overnight, commanding respect and allegiance with ease.

In any sect, no matter how powerful, an Earth Immortal was a rare and highly esteemed figure, someone that every faction would strive to retain and recruit.

If the Scattered Immortals Alliance could boast an Earth Immortal among its ranks, it would truly soar to unprecedented heights, becoming a force to be reckoned with on a much larger scale. Even if their territory expanded tenfold, no one would dare oppose them. Such was the awe-inspiring influence of an Earth Immortal.

This power stemmed, in part, from the concept of “destiny,” though ordinary cultivators were unaware of its true significance. In the immortal realm, anything associated with destiny was extraordinary.

“This… this…”

For a moment, the most senior elders of the Scattered Immortals Alliance were at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond. An Earth Immortal was a figure they had never expected to encounter in their lifetimes, and the idea of someone within their own ranks ascending to such a level left them momentarily speechless.

“This is a tremendous blessing! Elder Jiang, please do not worry. We understand the gravity of the situation.”

“Focus on preparing for your breakthrough. Leave everything else to us.”

After a brief silence, a white-bearded elder finally composed himself, speaking with utmost sincerity.

As his words echoed through the hall, everyone’s gaze turned fervent, filled with respect and reverence as they looked at Jiang Chengxuan.

In response, Jiang Chengxuan remained calm, nodding slightly. He then proceeded to outline the arrangements and preparations necessary for his breakthrough, ensuring that everything would run smoothly without causing chaos.

…

West Moon Immortal Mountain.

Located in the extreme northern region of the Xuanming Immortal Realm, this was a place of great spiritual significance. It once belonged to a mid-level sect but had gradually fallen into decline due to various reasons and was eventually taken over by the Scattered Immortals Alliance, led by Jiang Chengxuan.

Since then, West Moon Immortal Mountain had become part of the alliance’s territory. At this moment, the entire area spanning tens of thousands of miles around the mountain was eerily deserted, with all of the alliance’s installations dismantled.

By Jiang Chengxuan’s order, all elders and disciples had withdrawn from the area, strictly warned not to approach. Only two figures remained atop the crescent-shaped peak of West Moon Immortal Mountain.

Their presence blended seamlessly with the heavens and earth, and despite the mountain’s grandeur, it could not overshadow their aura. Instead, it served as a backdrop, highlighting their imposing presence.

These two figures, needless to say, were Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
