Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 837

Chapter 837: Advancing to the Seethrough Stage,

Everyone’s Congratulations

Editor: Henyee Translations

As time passed, fifty years had elapsed since Jiang Chengxuan entered seclusion.

Within the cave abode where Jiang Chengxuan was cultivating, swirls of green, red, yellow, white, and blue lights continuously orbited around him, intertwining.

Faintly, sounds resembling the crashing of waves, the burning of flames, the shaking of the earth, the sprouting of vegetation, and the resonance of metals could be heard.

These sounds, initially chaotic and even jarring, gradually harmonized into a single, cohesive melody over time.

The elemental glows, once distinct and radiating their own light, began to merge.

Eventually, they formed a five-colored aureola.

This aureola, not a manifestation of Jiang Chengxuan’s Five Elements Aureola supreme power, originated from the fusion of the Five Elements rules.

Hovering above Jiang Chengxuan’s head, it exuded strands of rule-based essence.

Days turned into years, and after three years, the five-colored aureola slowly integrated into Jiang Chengxuan’s body.

Buzz!

At that moment, dazzling five-colored radiance burst from every inch of his

skin and every pore.

His aura surged dramatically under this influence.

There was a click.

It was as if some shackles were shattered from within Jiang Chengxuan. Simultaneously, a domain radiating five-colored brilliance rapidly expanded from his body, extending beyond the cave abode, the mountain peak, and countless forests.

Outside, Shen Ruyan, along with the many spiritual birds and beasts living on Cloud Mist Peak, all looked up in unison towards the location of Jiang Chengxuan’s cave abode.

A look of irrepressible joy appeared on Shen Ruyan’s face.

“My husband… he has broken through!”

Crash!

At this moment, the sky above the cave abode on Cloud Mist Peak suddenly burst into a display of five-colored brilliance.

Layers of spiritual clouds appeared overhead, and with them came a gentle shower of spiritual rain, instantly casting the surroundings of the cave abode in a magnificent, hazy glow.

Outside Cloud Mist Peak, many elders engaged in discussions couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards the peak. Surprise was evident on their faces.

“Spiritual clouds spanning the sky, heavenly colors descending, this signifies that an elder with the potential of ascension has advanced to the Seethrough stage!” an elder exclaimed excitedly within the hall.

“It remains to be seen which of our elders has made the breakthrough to the Seethrough stage. Why don’t we go together to see and offer our congratulations?”

Suddenly, Elder Yuan Feng and Elder Chi Yan, who were in charge of this meeting, could not help but suggest.

“Let’s go! Let’s go!” Many elders quickly agreed.

Some time later.

Several streaks of light landed outside Cloud Mist Peak, patiently waiting without intruding.

Not long after.

Several more streaks of light approached from afar, one of whom was Jiang Chengxuan’s senior sister, Xie Xiangyao. S

Seeing her, many of the gathered elders greeted her warmly.

Apparently.

By now, they had come to understand that the individual responsible for the grand spectacle was none other than Xie Xiangyao’s junior brother, Jiang Chengxuan.

It was said that he had ascended from the lower realms, cultivated the way of the Five Elements, and was the most cherished disciple of their esteemed Supreme Elder Qin Shenwu.

As the crowd was discussing among themselves, the clouds above Cloud Mist Peak suddenly dispersed, revealing two figures—Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

After nodding towards Xie Xiangyao, they turned their attention to the gathered crowd.

Jiang Chengxuan greeted everyone with a fist and palm salute, smiling politely, “I just made a breakthrough in my cultivation today, so please forgive me for not coming out to receive you on time.”

“Senior Brother Jiang, you’re being too modest. It is we who have arrived uninvited,” one elder responded.

“Indeed, it is we who should ask for your forgiveness for intruding so suddenly,” another added.

The crowd responded politely, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jiang Chengxuan smiled and extended an invitation.

“Everyone, please don’t stand outside. If you don’t mind, come and sit inside my cave abode.””

Naturally, no one declined the invitation.

Soon, the group was led by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan into Cloud Mist Peak, where polite exchanges and conversations were inevitable.

After all the visiting elders had departed, Xie Xiangyao took out three gifts and handed them to Jiang Chengxuan, saying,

“Junior brother, these are gifts from me, Shifu, and Junior Brother Zhao.

Shifu left the sect not long ago, so I’m here to congratulate you on his behalf.”

“Shifu left the sect?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both expressed their surprise.

Xie Xiangyao nodded in confirmation.

“Yes, it’s related to the ongoing war.”

“I see.”

Understanding dawned on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

As a Dao Integration Supreme Elder of the sect, it was inevitable for him to head to the frontline in the final stages of the war.

Jiang Chengxuan expressed his gratitude for the congratulatory gifts and then inquired about Zhao Tianfan’s condition.

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan ask about Zhao Tianfan, Xie Xiangyao couldn’t help but shake her head.

“Currently, it’s already a great outcome that Junior Brother Zhao can maintain his existing realm without falling.

As for recovery, without finding the Nine-Colored Sky Lotus mentioned by Shifu, I see little possibility.

For now, we can only hope that Junior Brother Zhao stabilizes his mental state. Otherwise, being entangled by inner demons could potentially trigger the Seethrough Tribulation prematurely, which would truly be troublesome. Jiang Chengxuan understood that after breaking through to Void Returning, cultivators no longer faced the conventional limits of lifespan.

Without the periodic tribulations, living for millions or even billions of years wouldn’t be an issue.

However, there are no such loopholes in the workings of the universe.

After reaching Void Returning Realm, almost every tens of thousands of years, one must face a tribulation.

Passing the tribulation allows one to continue living; failing results in total annihilation.

In this process, a cultivator’s mental state plays a crucial role.

An imbalance can easily give rise to inner demons, potentially hastening the arrival of tribulations.
