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

Editor: Henyee Translations

Facing the ominous results of his divinations, Jiang Chengxuan was cautious and slightly worried, yet he was not overly fearful.

He continued his explorations within the immortal cave abode, unwilling to hide or cower.

After all, not long ago, he had slain two ninth-level beasts—equivalent to two Mahayana Daolords. Having survived such deadly battles, there was little left in the world that could instill fear in him.

He did not stow away the Profound Dao Disc but continued to use it for his Heavenly Calculation Technique, looking for a safer direction to proceed slowly and hopefully find Shen Ruyan and the others.

Although he wasn’t particularly frightened by the half-life, half-death divination, he was still very concerned about the safety of his companions.

Jiang Chengxuan hoped to establish contact with others soon, to share the news of the changing conditions and to prevent any unforeseen dangers.

Given the already perilous nature of the immortal cave abode and the potential for additional complications, the situation was exceedingly risky.

With the help of the Profound Dao Disc, three paths were revealed to him through his divinations.

A location aglow with purple-golden light, indicating significant opportunity but also substantial risk.

A place with billowing black-grey smoke columns, undoubtedly harboring great danger, likely the territory of another ninth-level mystical beast.

A grey-white area, filled with mystery and the unknown, which even the enhanced Heavenly Calculation Technique could not penetrate.

Intuitively, Jiang Chengxuan felt drawn to the mysterious grey-white area, believing that it held a significant opportunity meant specifically for him.

Deciding on his next course of action, he put away the Profound Dao Disc and pondered deeply.

The first location, though promising, was explicitly dangerous and thus unsuitable given the current circumstances.

Already endowed with considerable fortune from his previous encounters, he felt no need to seek further peril.

He was convinced that no opportunity within the cave could rival the treasures he had already acquired from the two ninth-level beasts and the supreme Spiritual Fruit.

His goal now was to avoid danger and seek fortune prudently. Thus, he could easily discard the first and second options.

His intuition and deliberations pointed in one direction.

Resolved, Jiang Chengxuan transformed into a five-colored light and flew towards the third location, the mysterious grey-white area.

…

Days later, after traveling tens of thousands of miles without incident, Jiang Chengxuan found the cave’s vastness and grandeur somewhat frustrating.

Though called a cave, it was as large as a complete world.

The scale of the ancient immortal’s creation was terrifying—not only had they crafted such an immense world out of nothing, but they had also perfectly balanced its various resources and rules.

What impressed him most was that the immortal cave abode was established in an outer domain, perhaps deliberately arranged by the ancient immortal.

At that moment, the world ahead finally began to change noticeably. A dense fog lay thickly on the horizon like a towering wall connecting the heavens, blocking everything from the outside.

The fog, distinctly grey-white, matched the description from the Heavenly Calculation Technique. Jiang Chengxuan accelerated, reaching the edge of the dense fog in an instant. Here, a profound and mysterious aura flickered in and out of perception, eluding even his intuition.

Facing this situation, Jiang Chengxuan did not rush in. Instead, he used various means to probe the fog.

He retrieved some treasures from his storage and set up a detection array on the spot, using the eyeball of a ninth-leve beast as the focal point of the array.

This array, known as the Void-Breaking Observation Array, was an eighth-level array capable of granting the user a celestial perspective, allowing them to see everything within a hundred miles as if through the eyes of the heavens.

However, as the Void-Breaking Observation Array activated, massive waves of energy spread through the void. Jiang Chengxuan, though his eyes were closed, felt the world before him shrink down to the size of a sand table in his mind.

Yet, under the influence of this array, the endless fog remained unmoved. Beyond seeing the area just beyond the fog, he could not perceive anything further. The eighth-level array had no effect on the vast expanse of fog.

Although he had anticipated this, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression grew more solemn after deactivating the array.

He didn’t give up, however. He then brought out a divine treasure, the Vast Heaven Divine Jade, known for its ability to defend against primordial spirit attacks and illusions, which also proved useful for exploration.

Channeling his Dharmic power into his primordial spirit, he intensified his gaze, and a light shot out from his soul, illuminating the grey-white fog.

This time, his vision, following this light, slowly penetrated the grey-white fog, inching deeper into its mysteries.

Encouraged by this successful exploration, Jiang Chengxuan felt a surge of confidence. However, just as he was gaining clarity through the fog, an unexpected event occurred.

As Jiang Chengxuan peered into the grey-white mist, mysterious runes began to subtly appear in his field of vision, startling him. He sensed something amiss around him and decided to withdraw, attempting to retract his spiritual power.

But at that moment, he realized that a faint grey-white mist had already enveloped his surroundings.

“Damn it!” he cursed inwardly, sensing the urgency of the situation. With no time to hesitate, he unleashed all his power. The Five Elements Diagram was summoned instantly, transforming into the Golden Void Sword, cleaving through the void in an attempt to escape.

A flash of golden light split the air as Jiang Chengxuan turned into a golden beam of light, shooting back along the path he had come. However, when he paused to survey his surroundings, he found to his dismay that he was still enveloped in the eerie grey-white mist. Despite his powerful escape attempt, he had not left the area at all.

It became apparent that he had unknowingly entered deeper into the mist while trying to explore it, influenced by its mysterious properties. By the time he realized it, he was fully immersed, and his senses of direction and perception were thoroughly confused. His escape attempt had likely only taken him deeper into the heart of the mist.
