Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I m dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 960

Chapter 960: Congratulations from All
Editor: Henyee Translations

After a century of secluded cultivation, Jiang Chengxuan had dedicated every moment to breaking through.

He had prepared thoroughly, amassing resources, treasures, and pills.

Despite such meticulous preparation, the breakthrough process was perilous, almost leading to an irreversible catastrophe, highlighting the immense difficulty of reaching Dao Mastery.

After all, he was endowed with the Dao rules of the Five Elements and Samsara, two of the supreme Dao rules.

To fully master them, even he had to take significant risks.

Eventually, though not without its dangers, he succeeded not only in advancing to Dao Mastery but also secured the seed of the Creation Dao,

This was undeniably a blessing in disguise.

Meanwhile, within the Haoran Sect, the ever-expanding Cloudmist Peak finally ceased its growth.

Now, it reached an unbelievable height, visible throughout the entire region.

Clearly, in the future, this peak would symbolize the Haoran Sect, representing the legend of the fastest Dao Mastery breakthrough in the history of the Floodgate Realm.

The cessation of activity at Cloudmist Peak signified one thing: Jiang Chengxuan was about to emerge from seclusion.

Such a sign stirred anticipation among all, eagerly awaiting his appearance.

Excitement was evident on the faces of many Haoran Sect disciples, as if they themselves had broken through.

The elders, familiar with Jiang Chengxuan, were flush with delight, offering endless praises.

Jiang Chengxuan’s emergence benefited every member of the Haoran Sect, providing them with the confidence to strive for the title of the greatest sect in the Floodgate Realm.

Everyone quietly awaited the moment, anticipating the lifting of the seclusion barrier and Jiang Chengxuan’s emergence.

Rumble!

As the energy fluctuations spread, the seclusion barrier dissolved before all eyes.

Then, countless rays of light shot out from the cave, like treasures being born, dazzlingly beautiful.

Jiang Chengxuan’s figure emerged slowly from the brilliant lights, appearing before everyone.

Upon stepping out of the cave, Jiang Chengxuan sensed something amiss.

It seemed like tens of thousands of eyes were upon him, and oddly, the location of his cave had changed.

For a moment, he thought something dire had happened to the Haoran Sect.

But then, seeing the joyful expressions of Shen Ruyan, Qin Shenwu, Sect Leader Xue Ping, and Elder Leng Yuehua,

Jiang Chengxuan immediately understood what had occurred.

Apparently, his breakthrough had caused such a commotion that it attracted everyone in the sect.

“Husband! Congratulations on your breakthrough to Dao Mastery!”

The next moment, Shen Ruyan approached him with a beaming smile, her hands clasped in salute, her face alight with joy.

The occasion wasn’t right for an intimate embrace.

Thus, Shen Ruyan only approached to congratulate him verbally.

“Thank you for your kind words, wife, joy shared is joy doubled!”

Jiang Chengxuan knew exactly how to respond in such a situation, smiling back as he reciprocated the greeting.

It was then that the surrounding crowd realized what was happening, and hurriedly approached to congratulate Jiang Chengxuan on his breakthrough.

“Congratulations, Vice Sect Master, on your breakthrough to Dao Mastery.”

In the next instant, all the Haoran Sect disciples roared their congratulations, their voices thunderous.

“Thank you, thank you, dear fellow disciples!”

Jiang Chengxuan, in high spirits, responded with a booming voice to all the sect members.

This response, like the opening of a gate, led numerous sect elders to approach and greet him.

“Chengxuan, congratulations! Truly, you are a rare genius of our Haoran Sect.”

“You flatter me, Elder Cheng, it was merely a fortuitous breakthrough.”

Standing beside Shen Ruyan, Jiang Chengxuan dealt with the elders’ congratulations one by one.

“This is a small token of appreciation; I hope you won’t refuse!”

One of the elders, beaming with a smile, presented a spiritual herb, handing it over to Jiang Chengxuan.

This act was a subtle tradition: such gifts, though often not extravagant, represented a gesture of making connections.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan was in the limelight and was undoubtedly a useful friend to be made, with nearly every elder coming forward to offer congratulations and present gifts, exchanging pleasantries with him.

Naturally, Jiang Chengxuan accepted each gift, acknowledging that, as fellow sect members, these modest offerings would eventually be reciprocated.

To refuse now would cause misunderstandings, potentially creating an awkward situation.

“Chengxuan, congratulations on your Dao Mastery achievement.”

“Junior Brother Chengxuan, congratulations!”

At that moment, two familiar figures approached Jiang Chengxuan, his senior brother and sister, Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan.

Their faces were filled with joy and a hint of envy.

“Thank you, Senior Sister Xie, Senior Brother Zhao, joy shared is joy doubled!”

Jiang Chengxuan responded to them without any pretense, happily accepting their gifts, which put both of them at ease.

After exchanging pleasantries, another familiar figure flew towards them.

“Chengxuan, congratulations, our Haoran Sect now boasts another great power.”

It was Elder Leng Yuehua from the Haoran Sect.

“Senior Sister Leng, thank you for your praise, I will surely do my best for our Haoran Sect.”

Jiang Chengxuan, facing this old acquaintance, responded without any hesitation, smiling back.

“This is a ten-thousand-year Moonflower, a gift for your celebration.”

Leng Yuehua said with a light laugh, presenting a gift that astonished all present.

This ten-thousand-year Moonflower was the most precious treasure presented so far.

It seemed that there was indeed a special relationship between Leng Yuehua and Jiang Chengxuan. Some began to speculate.

“No need to be so formal, Senior Sister Leng. I’ll refine it into pills and return half to you.”

Jiang Chengxuan accepted the gift without hesitation but added this promise.

This gesture showed the significant weight he placed on this gift.

His remark surprised many Haoran Sect elders further.

The ten-thousand-year Moonflower was not a common ingredient; it required an alchemy master of at least Level 8 to refine.

They had only heard of Jiang Chengxuan being a Level 7 alchemist. Could it be that he had also broken through to Level 8?

In an instant, countless people opened their mouths wide. The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became.

This could be said to be the fastest Dao Mastery breakthrough, but he was actually a Level 8 alchemist at the same time. It was simply terrifying!

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s weight in their hearts was undoubtedly increased.

Even Leng Yuehua, who had given him the treasure, could not help but be slightly shocked. Then, she smiled and nodded.

It was obvious that Jiang Chengxuan’s return gift was very tempting. Moreover, it was just right.

After that, the two of them exchanged pleasantries. They had both gained something and bade farewell for the time being.
