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

Chapter 1281: Repelling the Intruders, Refining the Blessed Land – Part 2
Editor: Henyee Translations

The chaotic energy surrounding the area came to an abrupt halt.

“So it’s you, Tianxuan,” Fuguang Immortal said, as a white-browed old man emerged from the void before him. The elder’s robes fluttered despite the absence of wind, his long beard reaching down to his waist, giving him an appearance that exuded an aura of otherworldly wisdom and immortality.

Recognizing this figure, Fuguang Immortal’s expression softened slightly, and he greeted him with a light smile. It was evident that this newly appeared Earth Immortal was someone he knew, and their relationship seemed amicable, or at least not hostile.

“Who is breaking through? Since when did someone from your Tianlong Commerce Guild reach such heights?” the old man, who exuded an aura of immortal grace, asked with a slight smile.

Fuguang Immortal explained slowly, “This young man is quite extraordinary. I took a liking to his talent, so I offered to guard his path. You shouldn’t meddle in this matter.”

Although Fuguang Immortal didn’t explicitly reveal Jiang Chengxuan’s identity, his protective stance was clear. It was evident that Tianxuan Immortal had come here with intentions related to Jiang Chengxuan’s breakthrough.

“Heh, heh, heh, as if I don’t know the schemes you commerce guilds are always plotting. But fine, since you’re the one guarding him, I won’t interfere. Farewell,” the elder, known as Tianxuan Immortal, replied. After a moment of thought, he stroked his long beard, shook his head, and turned away.

Thus, a potentially devastating battle was averted. Fuguang Immortal felt a sense of relief, knowing that if Tianxuan had chosen to fight, he would have had to give his all, and there was no guarantee that Jiang Chengxuan would remain unaffected.

Fortunately, Tianxuan Immortal did not want to earn the enmity of the Tianlong Commerce Guild, and due to their acquaintance, the conflict was avoided. This was precisely why Jiang Chengxuan had agreed to have Fuguang Immortal guard his path. In the face of such opportunities, personal connections still held weight. Having a respected Earth Immortal on his side was far more effective than relying on the name of the Rogue Cultivators’ Alliance alone.

With each potential crisis resolved by Shen Ruyan and Fuguang Immortal, Jiang Chengxuan continued his breakthrough undisturbed. The news that an Earth Immortal was guarding Xiyue Immortal Mountain quickly spread, echoing throughout the Xuanming Immortal Realm.

Soon, countless cultivators who had been eyeing the area with ill intentions were deterred, abandoning their plans. It became clear that the one undergoing the breakthrough was not just some fortunate rogue but someone with significant backing.

As a result, the undercurrents of unrest in the western region of the realm began to calm. Meanwhile, at the center of the storm, Jiang Chengxuan gradually stabilized his cultivation base. He now possessed the power of an Earth Immortal, with only the creation of his Earth Immortal Blessed Land remaining.

With his spiritual sense fully immersed within his body, Jiang Chengxuan’s immortal form had transformed into a vast internal world, resembling a starry sky. Within it, immense Dao laws and mysterious energies intertwined, connecting with the will of the heavens to create a nebulous void.

This void could contain untold amounts of space and energy, cycling endlessly according to the principles of the Dao.

“It’s time…” Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes gleamed with determination as he prepared to create his Earth Immortal Blessed Land. With a wave of his hand, the countless precious materials he had acquired from the Wanbao Immortal Gathering emerged like a flock of birds. In an instant, the area was bathed in immortal light, as bright as day.

These materials were far from ordinary, especially the three treasures exchanged for the True Immortal dragon scales: the Floating Tower Sand, the Nether Dao Mysterious Stone, and the Ten Thousand Star Essence. Each exuded a formidable aura, closely resembling the primordial forces of the universe.

“Begin the refinement!” Jiang Chengxuan commanded, his Earth Immortal power surging as the world trembled. Using the three primary materials as the foundation, he enveloped the other materials in his immortal energy, gradually refining them.

The immortal light intensified, and the rules of the immortal realm began to manifest from the materials, only to be suppressed by Jiang Chengxuan, who forcibly refined them into the Floating Tower Sand, the Nether Dao Mysterious Stone, and the Ten Thousand Star Essence.

Pure energy was infused into the immortal materials, causing them to undergo various transformations and emit radiant visions. The Floating Tower Sand, composed of golden grains, revealed golden towers floating within each grain, resembling a mountain of golden sand forged from towering structures. Under the infusion of primordial energy, the golden sand began to shift in color, transforming into a rainbow-like cloud.

The Nether Dao Mysterious Stone, originally containing the power of the nether realms, became transparent under Jiang Chengxuan’s refinement. An ancient and profound aura emerged, hinting at the presence of the world’s will within it.

The Ten Thousand Star Essence radiated with the light of countless stars, projecting the shadows of millions of celestial bodies. A power similar to that of the Primordial Force emanated from it.

These three vastly different forces, each immense and boundless, even challenged Jiang Chengxuan’s ability to control them. Their auras spread, deepening the atmosphere around Xiyue Immortal Mountain. Shen Ruyan and Fuguang Immortal immediately sensed the shift, realizing that Jiang Chengxuan had reached the final stage of his breakthrough, the creation of his Earth Immortal Blessed Land.

“Please be safe…” Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but feel a tinge of worry as she silently prayed for his success.

As time continued to pass, Jiang Chengxuan completed the refinement of the three immortal materials, their vast energies enveloping the entirety of Xiyue Immortal Mountain. The Floating Tower Sand spread across the void, forming a cloud realm and golden mountains. The Ten Thousand Star Essence created another layer of sky above Xiyue Immortal Mountain, filled with twinkling starlight. The Nether Dao Mysterious Stone merged with the heavens and earth, its intangible will deeply rooted in every corner of the space.

Heaven, Earth, and Will—these three forces represented the most fundamental aspects of creation. They were the essential building blocks for forging a new world.

However, these were not the key elements. After taking a brief pause, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes gleamed with determination as he adjusted his state to its peak. Standing in the void, he planted his feet on a golden floating land, his head crowned by starlight, and his body enveloped in the profound aura of the nether, resembling a divine being.

In the next moment, a more ancient and primordial aura suddenly surged forth. The force of creation spread like a tidal wave, stirring the heavens and earth. As the nine-colored immortal light blossomed, Jiang Chengxuan summoned the Five Elements Immortal Stone. The moment it came into contact with the illusory world refined from the various immortal materials, a terrifying force erupted.

The purest Five Elements power burst forth, its level of purity so high that even the surrounding immortal materials were subdued by it. This immense power began to absorb the refined energy of the immortal materials, rapidly forming a nebulous world with the Five Elements Immortal Stone at its core.

Thunder rumbled, and explosions echoed as energy materialized from nothingness, causing the Five Elements Immortal Stone to expand rapidly. Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan wasted no time, channeling his immortal energy continuously into the process. The Five Elements Dao, the Cycle of Reincarnation Dao, and the Life and Death Dao manifested in succession, enveloping the expanding Five Elements Immortal Stone. He imprinted his essence and aura upon it, aiming to integrate the forming Blessed Land into his immortal body.

This process was incredibly challenging; he had to avoid disrupting the formation of the Blessed Land while continuing its refinement. Any mistake could result in the destruction of the Blessed Land, rendering it impossible to absorb into his internal world, or worse, his Dao might be absorbed by the Blessed Land, leading to his own demise.

Both outcomes were perilous, a true test of life and death. As the energy within Xiyue Immortal Mountain fluctuated, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, it resembled a massive, chaotic heart beating with immense power.

This was Jiang Chengxuan’s final step toward becoming an Earth Immortal. And in the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed.
