Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

“This is…?”

Before him lay a pool of water, shimmering with five colors, quietly suspended in mid-air.

From this five colors-hued water, Jiang Chengxuan could feel a strong yearning from the depths of his Dharmic power, as if his body and the cultivation technique he practiced, the Infinite Wheel, were both desperately craving something.

“Could this be the legendary Five Mystical Spirits Pool?”

Jiang Chengxuan remembered his Shifu, Qin Shenwu, mentioning it.

This pool only forms when a new world is created or a new space is born shortly after its inception.

It is a supreme treasure for cultivating the Five Elements, unmatched in its rarity and power.

A single day of cultivation within it could rival a hundred years outside.

Most importantly, the elemental rules contained within the pool could help one comprehend these complex principles, saving countless years of effort.

“Never would I have thought that I would actually encounter such a treasure.”

Jiang Chengxuan felt a surge of excitement.

After scanning his surroundings to ensure no one else was present, he flew directly towards the Five Mystical Spirits Pool.

Boom, boom, boom!

Unexpectedly, as he approached the pool, beams of mystical light shot towards him aggressively from within it, startling him.

“What’s happening?”

He had never heard of the Five Mystical Spirits Pool attacking anyone attempting to approach it.

In response, he quickly summoned his Five Elements Aureole.

Streaks of five-elemental Dao runes surrounded the five-elemental aureole that was flickering with five-colored light.

The attacking mystical lights, upon contact with his aureole, were absorbed into it, instantly enhancing its power and defense by thirty percent.

“Could it be that those beams of light possess the power to enhance my divine powers?”

As more beams of mystical light shot out from the pool towards him, Jiang Chengxuan summoned his Five Elements Aureole again.

This time, however, the beams ignored the aureole’s defense and directly hit him.

BOOM!

Instantly, rules of five different elements exploded within his body.

Jiang Chengxuan’s body disintegrated into streams of rule energy, each displaying one of five distinct colors.

After a long time.

His body was then reconstituted.

At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes shimmered with a five-colored mystical light.

A dense aura of rules emanated from his body.

In this instant, Jiang Chengxuan could distinctly feel his understanding of the Five Elements improve by several levels.

Buzz!

At the same time.

Beams of mystical light once again shot towards him from the Five Mystical Spirits Pool.

This time, Jiang Chengxuan seemed to grasp the mystery behind it.

He formed hand seals, and various Five Elements divine powers were unleashed by him.

Withering, Light Cut, Sky Burial, Wrathful Flames, Years, and the Five Elements Extermination Divine Light.

As he used these five-element divine powers,

Gradually, the power of the five elements increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Eventually, Jiang Chengxuan directly comprehended the true essence of the metal rule from those beams of light.

With a mere thought, countless dense, sharp auras surrounded him.

The void immediately filled with the sound of slicing, as a terrifying aura spread rapidly in all directions from where he stood.

At the same time, the Five Mystical Spirits Pool, which had been in front of him, slowly vanished from sight.

“Huh?”

After a long time.

Jiang Chengxuan emerged from his deep comprehension of the true essence of the metal rule.

Looking at the empty space before him, many realizations flashed through his mind.

It turned out that the so-called Five Mystical Spirits Pool was not meant for one to enter but to grant individuals something uniquely theirs through different means.

This was the true marvel of the Five Mystical Spirits Pool.

At that moment, without lingering, Jiang Chengxuan chose a new direction and continued his quest for opportunities within the natural secret realm.

Just as Jiang Chengxuan was searching for his own opportunities in this natural secret realm, Jiang Anran, who was far away in the Nine Essences cultivation world, also faced her Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

The sky was filled with dense thunderclouds, forming a massive curtain that obscured the heavens.

Many cultivators, including Jiang Yuncheng and Jiang Renchuan from the Jiang family, watched with anticipation and anxiety.

This was the third cultivator set to ascend after Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

If she succeeded, it would confirm that their Nine Essences Cultivation World indeed possessed the qualifications for ascension to the higher realms.

This was a matter of great importance and significance.

Boom!

Just then, a blindingly bright and massive bolt of lightning struck down towards Jiang Anran from the dense clouds.

Instantly, a large umbrella appeared above Jiang Anran’s head, its surface a rich earthy yellow, exuding a thick aura of the Earth Element.

The lightning, upon striking this earthy glow, caused it to tremble slightly before it returned to normal.

Rumble!

Then came the second bolt of lightning, visibly larger and far more powerful than the first.

The earthy glow on the umbrella trembled violently and dimmed significantly but ultimately withstood the strike of the second lightning bolt.

As the third bolt of lightning descended, Jiang Anran no longer relied solely on the inherent power of the Dharma treasure to defend but instead forcefully injected her Dharmic power into it.

Instantly, the umbrella, whose light had dimmed, brightened once again, effortlessly blocking the assault of the third lightning bolt.

Then came the fourth, fifth, sixth, and even the seventh bolts.

Jiang Anran, using this defensive Pure Yang treasure, successfully fended off each one.

However, when the eighth heavenly tribulation descended, the color of the lightning had changed from its original silver-white to tinges of red.

The spectators from afar held their breath in anticipation.

They knew that the power of this tribulation would likely surpass the sum of the first seven, perhaps even more so.

A solemn expression appeared on Jiang Anran’s face as her hands swiftly formed seals.

Behind her, a colossal Dharma Form manifested, towering ten thousand feet tall.

With a gesture, it conjured massive earthy-yellow spears, hurling them straight at the eighth bolt of lightning crashing down from the sky.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of violent explosions thundered through the sky, causing the distant onlookers to instinctively retreat tens of thousands of miles further.

Suddenly, amidst the explosions, a bolt of lightning tinged with purple streaked down directly at Jiang Anran.

Her eyes narrowed in focus.

With a clang, her intrinsic flying sword was finally summoned.

In an instant, a powerful and dense aura of the Earth Element’s sword intent filled the entire sky.

Crackling sounds ensued.

The descending bolt of lightning was repeatedly cleaved, creating fissures with each strike of Jiang Anran’s sword light.

Finally, with a loud bang, the lightning bolt shattered into fragments of light and dissipated.

That was the last, the ninth heavenly tribulation.

From that moment, Jiang Anran had successfully transcended all the stages of her ascension tribulation.

Suddenly, a massive beam of blue light descended upon the ascension platform.

In the heavens and earth, ethereal melodies of the immortals could be heard.

Standing within that beam of ascending blue light, Jiang Anran turned her gaze towards the distant crowd and spoke:

“Everyone, today as I ascend to the higher realms, I hope you all will continue to strive diligently. May we have the chance to meet again in the higher realms.”

After her words, Jiang Anran’s figure no longer lingered.

With the rapid ascent of the blue light, her form gradually vanished from the eyes of those present.

“We respectfully send off Fairy Anran to the higher realms!”

“We respectfully send off Fairy Anran to the higher realms!”

“We respectfully send off Fairy Anran to the higher realms!”

At this moment, Jiang Anran felt her consciousness being infinitely elevated.

Her entire being, following the blue light, kept rising higher and higher.

Finally, the scenery before her eyes brightened dramatically.

Looking up, she found herself standing on a vast white jade plaza.

“Huh…?”

A middle-aged cultivator, who was stationed there, was momentarily taken aback by her appearance.

He looked at Jiang Anran, who had appeared on the ascension platform, and a smile quickly spread across his face.

“May I ask which realm you have ascended from, Fairy?”

As he spoke, it seemed he remembered something and quickly introduced himself.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Liu Haolong, from the Flying Cloud Sect. It’s my turn to guard this Eastern Sky Ascension Platform.

How may I address you, Fairy?

Do you belong to any sect or family in the higher realms?”

Hearing Liu Haolong’s words, Jiang Anran pondered for a moment before replying:

“You are too kind, fellow Daoist. I have ascended from an unknown lower realm. May I ask which part of the Spiritual Realm this place belongs to?”

Upon hearing Jiang Anran’s question, Liu Haolong’s expression became noticeably more serious.

He understood that anyone who could ask such a question clearly had some knowledge of the Spiritual Realm, indicating that she might have a significant background here.

With this thought, Liu Haolong did not conceal anything and responded with a smile.

“Without hiding anything from you, Fairy, the realm you have ascended to is known as the Celestial Floodgate Realm of the Spiritual Realm.”
