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

The name Jiang Chengxuan was familiar to the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm, but associating it with the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect was still somewhat awkward.

As the date of the Haoran Sect’s grand ceremony approached, even solitary cultivators sought to join the excitement, recognizing the significance of the event for the entire realm’s power dynamics.

Such festive occasions were also prime opportunities for these solitary cultivators to gain some small benefits, as a sect as generous as the Haoran Sect would not be petty.

A festive and fervent atmosphere quietly began to spread throughout the entire Floodgate Realm, showcasing the influence of the Haoran Sect.

However, there were a few exceptions, namely the rival sects of the Haoran Sect.

“Jiang Chengxuan? That scourge has become the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect?” grumbled a leader from one of these rival factions.

“The Haoran Sect sent invitations to all sects but deliberately excluded us. This is an outrageous insult!” another leader complained.

The leaders of the Five Elements Heaven Sect, the Qiankun Sect, and the Eternal Sword Sect were all seething with anger. Despite their frustrations, they dared not provoke the Haoran Sect, which was at the height of its power.

“Damn it! Do they really think they’ve become the overlords? Such disregard for us, we’ll make sure the Haoran Sect regrets this one day!”

In response to their situation, they could only curse and strictly forbid their disciples from attending the Haoran Sect’s ceremony. This was their only form of protest available.

As the day of the Haoran Sect’s grand inauguration ceremony approached, all eyes were on them, paying little heed to the petty grievances of the Five Elements Heaven Sect and others.

Soon, the long-awaited day of the grand ceremony arrived, and the Floodgate Realm buzzed with unprecedented activity. The Haoran Sect’s domain, in particular, was a hive of excitement.

Sects from north to south, who were eager to forge ties or simply witness the grand event, sent representatives. Each delegation arrived bearing gifts, representing their respective powers.

Many sects, despite not having direct disputes with the Haoran Sect, harbored subtle rivalries with each other. Thus, the presentation of gifts became a stage for them to subtly compete and outdo each other.

On this day, the protective barriers of the Haoran Sect were wide open. Qin Shenwu sat alone at the highest peak, his aura subtly leaking out, deterring any malicious intentions.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengxuan stood with his hands behind his back atop the Cloudmist Peak, accompanied by Shen Ruyan. They watched as various guests entered the Haoran Sect. This spot was the most conspicuous within the Haoran Sect, and nearly every visitor couldn’t help but glance in their direction.

On Cloudmist Peak, only high-ranking members of other sects could clearly see Jiang Chengxuan and respectfully bowed from a distance, to which he politely responded.

It was then that some perceptive individuals began to realize Jiang Chengxuan’s extraordinary status. It seemed he had already reached the realm of Dao Mastery, a discovery that undeniably shocked them.

As the representatives from various sects mingled with the Haoran Sect’s elders and exchanged pleasantries, they learned that Jiang Chengxuan had indeed broken through to the Dao Mastery realm, and that too in just two hundred years. The towering Cloudmist Peak stood as proof of his achievement.

Those who heard this news were visibly shaken, contemplating whether their gifts were sufficiently grand to honor such a momentous occasion.
