FOLLOWING A HUNDRED YEARS OF CULTIVATION, I'M DYING BEFORE I GOT CHEATS

Chapter 1272: Obtaining the Five Elements Immortal Stone, Subduing the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal (Part 1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

This deep pool was located in a remote and secluded part of the Immortal Insect Valley, even deeper than the lair of the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal.

It was a calm, unremarkable place, quietly settled in the underground, with occasional water droplets creating ripples on the surface.

“The Five Elements Immortal Stone is a primordial object of the world. Whether it is born or perishes, it will not cause any disturbances, but will quickly merge into its surroundings,” Jiang Chengxuan murmured as he gazed at the tranquil pool, his eyes filled with fervor.

“Even a random boulder by the roadside could be the Five Elements Immortal Stone, making it extremely difficult to find.”

Shen Ruyan, standing beside him, chuckled and remarked, “The Wanbao Immortal Association was indeed sincere.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and shook his head. “It’s all about mutual benefit.”

…

This entire ordeal had been perilous, requiring special means to enter the Immortal Insect Valley and obtain the Five Elements Immortal Stone.

Even an Earth Immortal could not accomplish it alone, for the valley housed Earth Immortal-level insect demons that would react to the presence of such a powerful intruder, triggering a deadly confrontation.

For this task, Jiang Chengxuan was the most suitable candidate among the True Immortals, possessing extraordinary concealment abilities, a myriad of enigmatic techniques, and formidable combat prowess.

“Let’s go, my dear,” Jiang Chengxuan said, taking Shen Ruyan’s hand as they transformed into a gentle breeze, creating ripples on the lake’s surface as they descended into the depths.

Underwater, the light from above created a beautiful, shimmering scene, which gradually darkened as they descended, feeling almost like entering the underworld. Wisps of Dao energy filled the surroundings, emanating an extremely mysterious sensation.

In response, Jiang Chengxuan manifested his Five Elements Dao, enveloping the two of them in a bubble of multicolored divine light, gradually sinking deeper. As they descended, their expectant eyes spotted an ancient, smooth boulder embedded in the earth, as if it had existed for eternity.

Water flowed over its surface, leaving behind intricate, profound marks. The small cracks in its exterior revealed flashes of extraordinary energy, indicating its true nature.

“The Five Elements Immortal Stone is indeed here…”

Jiang Chengxuan placed his hand on the stone, whispering with joy. Many had failed to reach the Earth Immortal realm due to the lack of this opportunity.

Knowing the secret of the Earth Immortal limit made the Five Elements Immortal Stone even more precious. Its appearance signified the fall of a powerful being, offering a glimpse into a grand, magnificent world.

“Buzz——!”

As if responding to Jiang Chengxuan’s emotions, the Five Elements Immortal Stone emitted a mystical pulse. Pure, radiant divine light burst from the cracks, enveloping the entire underwater cavern in a dazzling display, transforming it into a world of flowing brilliance.

In this moment, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt an aura akin to primordial energy, infusing their bodies and spirits with a gentle, invigorating power.

“My bottleneck is loosening!” Shen Ruyan exclaimed, sensing movement in her cultivation at the peak of the Ascension realm.

“This is perfect. Once we return, we can enter seclusion together and break through,” Jiang Chengxuan said, his eyes shining with joy.

Without further hesitation, he activated his immortal power, enveloping the Five Elements Immortal Stone. Layers of potent energy isolated its aura, creating a small world to contain the stone. The radiant light and mystical scenery faded, returning to calm.

Only Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts continued to pound with excitement over this invaluable opportunity.

Subduing the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal

With the Five Elements Immortal Stone secured, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan prepared to leave the Immortal Insect Valley. As they made their way out, they suddenly felt a powerful presence approaching. It was the Golden Cicada Demon Immortal, drawn by the disturbance.

“Jiang Chengxuan, you dare steal from me?” the demon’s voice echoed, filled with fury.

Jiang Chengxuan turned to face the approaching demon. “Today, I will subdue you and take what is rightfully mine.”

A fierce battle erupted, with Jiang Chengxuan wielding the Taichu Water-Fire Sword, its ethereal glow illuminating the dark underground. The Golden Cicada Demon Immortal, already weakened from previous battles, struggled to match Jiang Chengxuan’s power.

As the clash intensified, Jiang Chengxuan found an opening. Channeling the power of the Five Elements and the Taichu Sword, he unleashed a devastating attack, severing the demon’s resistance and forcing it into submission.

“Submit to me, or face annihilation,” Jiang Chengxuan declared, his voice resonating with authority.

The Golden Cicada Demon Immortal, recognizing its defeat, bowed its head in submission. “I submit.”

With the demon subdued, Jiang Chengxuan turned to Shen Ruyan, a triumphant smile on his face. “We have secured both the Five Elements Immortal Stone and a powerful ally.”

“Indeed, my husband. This day marks a significant victory,” Shen Ruyan replied, her eyes shining with admiration.

Together, they left the Immortal Insect Valley, their hearts filled with anticipation for the breakthroughs to come and the new horizons awaiting them.
