Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 1420

Chapter 1420: The Empty Remains of Azure Cloud Sect (Part 1) Chapter 1420: The Empty Remains of Azure Cloud Sect (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations In any Immortal Domain, the Central Region is always the most prosperous.

Since ancient times, it has been said that to rule the heartland is to control the Immortal Domain.

The Central Region, being at the center, provides easy access to the entire domain, gathering the fortunes, resources, and Dao teachings of the hundred provinces, fostering the growth of immortal paths.

Thus, in the vast Xuanming Immortal Domain, the sects of the Central Region are the strongest, boasting the most Earthly Immortal experts and mysterious ancient factions.

In this recent calamity, aside from the anomaly of Jiang Chengxuan’s Western Province, the Central Region was the first to recover from the disaster.

Compared to the other provinces, they sustained the least damage, second only to the Western Province.

Despite the catastrophe, most Earthly Immortal forces in the Central Region were barely harmed.

Though they lost some resources, no Earthly Immortal or higher-level cultivators perished.

The deep-rooted foundations of the Central Region, fortified over countless ages, included mysterious forces and powers capable of handling even the most dangerous situations.

For these reasons, when the calamity dissipated, the turmoil in the Central Region rose quickly but also settled just as fast.

Many top factions reacted swiftly, rapidly seizing precious lands and rare treasures.

Although there were numerous intense battles, these factions rarely dealt lethal blows to each other, maintaining a subtle, mutual understanding.

If a side could not gain an overwhelming advantage, they would decisively retreat, shifting their focus elsewhere.

Given the vastness and richness of the Central Region, there was no need to fight to the death over any particular spot.

The benefit of not losing any Earthly Immortal experts quickly became evident.

A delicate balance remained in place, with the various top factions maintaining a mutual deterrent.

It was during this period that Red-Beard Immortal, leading his sect’s forces, arrived in the Azure Province.

In the Central Region, the prime resources were mostly divided among the leading factions.

Even if there were lingering discontents, they played out in a series of cautious probing maneuvers.

As a result, many began to cast their gaze beyond the Central Region.

Conveniently, the Scarlet Dragon Sect, led by Red-Beard Immortal, was positioned close to the Western Province.

“Search every corner.

See if there’s anything left behind by the Azure Cloud SectaEUR”any hidden treasures or artifacts.

Whoever finds a valuable item will be granted three hundred years of cultivation within the Scarlet Dragon Pagoda,” Red-Beard Immortal ordered as he walked among the ruins of the Azure Province.

His words caused a ripple of excitement among the disciples.

At once, numerous red-robed disciples, their eyes shining with eagerness, bowed and scattered like birds, streaking off in all directions to begin their search.

The Scarlet Dragon Pagoda was a treasure of the Scarlet Dragon Sect, standing firm even during the great calamity.

Cultivating within the pagoda allowed for rapid comprehension of the sect’s unique Dao techniques, with an abundance of celestial energyaEUR”dozens of times richer than typical cultivation sites.

Ordinary disciples were allowed only a single day inside for every year of service, highlighting just how precious the promise of three hundred years was.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The air was filled with the sound of rushing wind as countless red-robed disciples scoured the barren remains of the Azure Province, diligently searching for any sign of lingering treasures or remnants.

Time passed quickly, and though the Azure Province was vast, the fervent disciples covered it swiftly.

To their surprise and frustration, however, the province was almost entirely barren.

Not a single significant artifact or celestial material could be found.

Occasionally, remnants of broken treasures appeared, but they crumbled to ash at the slightest touch, long since drained of all power.

“How can the Azure Province be so barren?

It was supposed to be a top-tier force!” one disciple complained bitterly as he sifted through the rubble.

“Damn it!

I’ve turned this whole mountain upside down and not a trace of celestial energy!

What a worthless place!” another exclaimed, clearly exasperated.

“These fallen Azure Cloud Sect disciples must have been dirt poor.

There’s not a single decent treasure left behind!” echoed yet another frustrated voice from among the ruins.

The general sentiment was one of disappointment and confusion.

How could a sect that once boasted an Earthly Immortal leave so little behind?

The disciples found it hard to believe, especially when compared to the Central Region.

Even in places heavily devastated by the calamity, some remnants of hidden treasures were still found.

Great sects usually had powerful wards that could protect certain artifacts from destruction.

Yet, despite digging through the Azure Province, they found nothing of note.

In the ruins of what used to be the main hall of the Azure Cloud Sect, Red-Beard Immortal stood amidst the rubble, his face dark with frustration.

How could this be?

He had negotiated intensely with the other sects, making significant concessions just for the opportunity to explore the Azure Province.

He had staved off many ambitious rivals to claim this opportunity.

Yet now, faced with the barren wasteland of the Azure Cloud Sect, he realized his efforts might have been for nothing.

This would be a severe loss for the Scarlet Dragon Sect, perhaps even a blow to his reputation.

“Keep searching!

There must be some hidden remnants or ancient ruins.

They’re here, somewhere!” Red-Beard Immortal roared angrily, his voice echoing across the ruins.

Infuriated, he unleashed his formidable Earthly Immortal aura.

A powerful surge of spiritual sense and celestial energy flooded the surroundings, combing through the rubble within thousands of miles, leaving no stone unturned.

His desperate efforts paid off.

After a few moments of probing, he detected several peculiar areas, places that seemed to hold some remnants of hidden secrets or artifacts.
