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

Chapter 1331: Consecutive Departures from Seclusion, Part 2

“Wonderful! Simply wonderful!”

They gazed into the distance and saw a figure, radiant as a star, emitting waves of energy in the center of the celestial cloud. The terrifying aura made them feel utterly insignificant, leaving no doubt that Elder Yuanhan had finally completely refined the True Tribulation Elixir.

“Hahaha! Hahahaha!”

“I, Yuanhan, have endured countless years of humiliation, and now I can finally reclaim everything I lost!”

“Heaven has eyes!”

As expected, amid the disciples’ joyful anticipation, Yuanhan’s ecstatic voice echoed across the skies, shaking the heavens. The despair of being unable to advance his cultivation for tens of thousands of years had been finally lifted today. Even as a respected Earth Immortal, Yuanhan could not suppress his overwhelming joy.

“The path of immortality is truly filled with endless hardships…”

Observing this, Shen Ruyan and the others—like the fierce-cutting fairy—glided through the air, unable to help but sigh. The closer one comes to the peak of immortality, the more they realize the dangers of the Immortal Realm and the difficulties of the immortal path. It is a path without end, where even an Earth Immortal can be shattered into pieces with the slightest misstep. Only those at the highest heights can truly understand the hardships and struggles involved. The ordinary immortal elders could only marvel at Yuanhan’s dominance, unaware of the suffering and pain that accompanied it.

“Buzz—”

In the sky, the magnificent celestial cloud gradually shifted from being ethereal to becoming solid. The hazy radiance that had covered thousands of miles slowly converged, forming a brilliantly shining star lake, like a gemstone formed from countless stars, embedded in the sky. In the next moment, that gemstone burst apart, transforming into countless beams of light that fell like a rain of auroras. In the midst of this stunning display, Yuanhan’s figure emerged, stepping forward. His expression and demeanor were completely renewed, bathed in auroral light. His face was handsome, his long hair flowing without wind, like the tail of a comet. His immortal robes glimmered, exuding a powerful and confident aura. This was clearly a true heavenly prodigy, standing apart from the world.

This scene filled the hearts of countless disciples of the Scattered Immortal Alliance with pride and excitement. This was their elder—so strong! How could the sect not prosper for millennia? And let’s not forget that there was also Jiang Chengxuan, a figure even more revered—a foundation upon which the Scattered Immortal Alliance now stood strong.

“Welcome back, Elder Yuanhan!”

“Welcome back, Elder Yuanhan!”

“Welcome back, Elder Yuanhan!”

Immediately, countless disciples and elders of the Scattered Immortal Alliance bowed in unison, their voices resounding like thunder. As the great tribulation of the Immortal Realm loomed ever closer, Yuanhan’s emergence from seclusion was undoubtedly a great reassurance to everyone.

“Everyone, it’s good to see you all again. I, Yuanhan, have returned!”

With a joyful expression, Yuanhan addressed the crowd. The current Yuanhan was noticeably different from his formerly silent self—or rather, this was the true Yuanhan. Only the old injuries, sealed for tens of thousands of years, had prevented him from showing his true self until now. Under the heavens, among all the talented, there was no one who would willingly fade into obscurity.

“Congratulations!”

Among the crowd, Shen Ruyan also offered her congratulations to Elder Yuanhan. Hearing this, Yuanhan’s expression softened, and he respectfully replied, “I owe everything to Elder Chengxuan. I am deeply grateful beyond words.”

It was evident that Yuanhan held Jiang Chengxuan in complete reverence. He was also very courteous to Shen Ruyan. Following this, the news of Yuanhan’s triumphant return spread quickly, stirring the entire Scattered Immortal Alliance. Many high-ranking elders came to greet him warmly, their words full of care and concern. In response, Yuanhan did not put on any airs, engaging in pleasant conversation with everyone. He had fully accepted his role as an elder of the Scattered Immortal Alliance—or rather, as a close confidant of Jiang Chengxuan.

However, before Yuanhan or anyone else could fully bask in their joy, a sudden and overwhelming aura erupted, sweeping across the Scattered Immortal Alliance. Beginning with a mysterious hum, boundless celestial light exploded outward, transforming into a series of ethereal dragons that danced through the sky, enveloping the entire sect.

The commotion was even more terrifying than Yuanhan’s recent reemergence. In an instant, the entire Scattered Immortal Alliance was engulfed in a hazy light, as illusory lotuses continually bloomed and withered in the void. The whole sect was submerged in a sea of divine lotuses.

For a moment, everyone was utterly shocked and speechless. What kind of power could so effortlessly encompass every immortal in this place, making it seem completely natural, as if there were no resistance at all? This clearly demonstrated that the source of this power could easily subdue them all—a terrifying thought indeed.

“Could it be…”

Among them, only Shen Ruyan reacted the fastest. Her beautiful eyes first widened in surprise and then brightened with delight. This immense power was accompanied by a familiar presence. Without a doubt, it belonged to her husband, Jiang Chengxuan!

“Is Elder Chengxuan about to emerge from seclusion as well?”

“Elder Chengxuan, hahaha! What a coincidence!”

The other elders finally caught on and exclaimed with excitement. Hearing this, everyone in the Scattered Immortal Alliance held their breath, anticipation building in their chests. In this surreal moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent, with only the sound of blooming lotuses filling the air. The power was incredibly strong, yet gentle, so much so that many disciples began to feel their cultivation slowly advancing.

After a long while, everyone remained quietly waiting, like statues, not daring to move. It wasn’t until a voice suddenly broke the dreamlike silence that they snapped back to reality, focusing all their attention on its source.

“Heh, what’s the occasion today? Why is everyone gathered so neatly?”

With this voice, a tall figure slowly emerged, exuding a calm and commanding presence. His appearance was simple, without any flashy adornments, just a gentle breeze around him. But as he moved, it was as if the most beautiful scenery of the world naturally accompanied him, blending seamlessly with the environment. This was truly a union of man and heaven.

“Husband!”

Naturally, Shen Ruyan was the first to respond, her stunning face blooming with a radiant smile. Then, all the elders of the Scattered Immortal Alliance followed suit, raising their voices in unison:

“Welcome back, Elder Chengxuan! Heaven bless our sect!”

“Welcome back, Elder Chengxuan! Heaven bless our sect!”

“Welcome back, Elder Chengxuan! Heaven bless our sect!”

The eyes of everyone present were filled with admiration and reverence. Jiang Chengxuan was a legendary figure for the Scattered Immortal Alliance. And today, he had risen even higher, taking another step forward. There was nothing more reassuring to the alliance than this news.

“It’s been a while, Elder Yuanhan. Congratulations on your recovery! My efforts were not in vain.”

With a light smile, Jiang Chengxuan acknowledged the crowd before turning to congratulate Yuanhan. Hearing this, Yuanhan’s face showed immense gratitude as he bowed and said, “Elder Chengxuan, I will never forget your kindness. If you ever need anything, I will repay it with my life!”

In his words, the power of an Earth Immortal was unmistakable, suppressing the heavens, and his immortal grace stirred the hearts of all the disciples and elders.

Many of the higher-ranked elders were unable to comprehend Jiang Chengxuan’s current strength, but rather than fear, they felt a profound sense of joy. With Jiang Chengxuan and Yuanhan standing guard, they could finally stop worrying about the impending great calamity of the Immortal Realm.

On this day, with both of them emerging from seclusion, they were poised to subdue all obstacles.
