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

Jiang Chengxuan now had a good understanding of the forces within the Floodgate Realm, and the sect leaders who attended today were now acquaintances.

Future collaborations between the sects would likely proceed smoothly, which was one of the significances of this ascension ceremony.

As the drums fell silent and the banquet ended, the Haoran Sect, crowded with people, returned to tranquility amid farewells.

Jiang Chengxuan watched as the guests departed, finally allowing himself a moment of relaxation.

Just then, his master, Qin Shenwu approached with a light chuckle, clapping Jiang Chengxuan on the shoulder, about to share some words of encouragement or perhaps a casual comment. However, his attention was suddenly drawn to an unexpected visitor.

“Daolord of the Pantheon, it’s been a long time,” Qin Shenwu greeted warmly, standing beside Jiang Chengxuan as they both faced the newcomer—today’s leader of the Pantheon Sect’s delegation, the Daolord himself.

“Daolord, what brings you here alone? Is there something that still needs to be addressed?” Jiang Chengxuan asked politely, acknowledging their newfound acquaintance from earlier in the day.

“Indeed,” the Daolord of the Pantheon began, nodding first at Qin Shenwu before addressing both of them. “Today, besides congratulating the new Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, I also came to deliver a piece of news that I thought you should know.”

He smiled at Jiang Chengxuan and Qin Shenwu, who both sensed that there was more to his visit than just ceremonial pleasantries. The presence of such a high-ranking figure at a routine ceremony was unusual.

Given Jiang Chengxuan’s speculation during the day that there might be more to the Daolord’s visit, he was prepared for a significant revelation.

“Heh, please speak, Daolord. If there’s any way we can assist, I’m all ears,” Jiang Chengxuan responded, inviting the Daolord to continue.

“In fact, my Pantheon Sect recently discovered an ancient ruin in the outer territories, believed to be the cave abode of an immortal!”

The Daolord’s announcement caused both Jiang Chengxuan and Qin Shenwu to take a sharp intake of breath. This was clearly no trivial matter; it was something that would warrant the personal attention of a Daolord.

A celestial cave dwelling!

The significance of such words was clear to any cultivator. Anything related to immortals invariably involved unparalleled secrets and treasures.

“And…?” Jiang Chengxuan prompted, eager to hear more.

“Since I’ve mentioned it, naturally, there’s only one request I have,” the Daolord continued. “I hope that Daolord Shenwu and Sect Master Jiang can join forces with my Pantheon Sect to explore it. The treasures within, we would distribute according to each party’s contributions.”

This was precisely the sort of proposal Jiang Chengxuan had been hoping for. The Daolord was not only sharing potentially monumental information but also offering a share in the discovery, likely seeing potential in Jiang Chengxuan’s capabilities and the reputation of the Haoran Sect.

Perhaps, he was also banking on Jiang Chengxuan’s emerging influence and the inherent integrity of the Haoran Sect.
