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

Chapter 635: Reward, Five Elements True Technique

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of terrifying explosions echoed continuously.

The clone Jiang Chengxuan, despite his formidable physical resilience, suffered severe damage under the onslaught of such attacks.

He spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

The aura around him became unstable.

Whoosh—

At that moment, a sword light, coming from an extremely cunning angle, suddenly appeared behind him, perfectly aimed at the clone Jiang Chengxuan’s retreating figure.

It was as if the clone had intentionally collided with the incoming sword light.

Puff!

The golden tip of the sword emerged from the clone Jiang Chengxuan’s chest.

In an instant, his body, like a shattered sandcastle, disintegrated into light and vanished.

Buzz!

It was only at this moment that Jiang Chengxuan, with his eyes shining a silvery-white, slowly materialized from the void.

Gradually, the silver-white light in his eyes faded.

However, he suddenly felt an intense dizziness in his head, his Nascent Soul within felt weakened, and a strong wave of fatigue washed over his spirit.

This appeared to be the aftereffect of extricating himself from the intense state he had been in.

Such severe mental exhaustion was indeed a result of the divine power evolved from the Heavenly Calculation Technique.

This state could be considered a special condition in which Jiang Chengxuan’s entire being entered a state of absolute calm.

In this state, his control over the battlefield and ability to respond to changes were significantly enhanced, especially in predicting the enemy’s next moves, which seemed almost terrifyingly accurate.

Jiang Chengxuan named this state derived from the Heavenly Calculation Technique as “Shenbian,” meaning a god-like ability to adapt and respond.

However, the consumption of mental and Primordial Spirit in this state was immense.

He knew clearly that if the battle had continued for another twenty breaths, he would have suffered irreversible damage to his spirit and Primordial Spirit.

If it lasted fifty breaths, by the time “Shenbian” ended, his soul might have been on the brink of collapse.

So.

Upon employing the “Shenbian”, Jiang Chengxuan knew he had to keep the battle within a certain time frame.

Fortunately, in the state of “Shenbian,” his ability to calculate and predict any situation reached an incredibly fearsome level.

He was acutely aware of his limits and would not inadvertently exceed them.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that grasping “Shenbian” from the Heavenly Calculation Technique was a tremendous breakthrough for him.

Buzz!

Just then, Jiang Chengxuan noticed his surroundings beginning to fade away.

A flash of light engulfed him, and when he regained his vision, he found himself in a grand palace.

The palace was spacious, with a solitary high platform suspended in the air.

After surveying the area and confirming there was no danger, Jiang Chengxuan flew towards the platform.

Buzz!

As soon as he arrived at the high platform, Jiang Chengxuan felt a message suddenly swarming towards him from the high platform.

From this message, he received all the details about this trial ground and learned how to control it.

It seemed that the voice he had heard before wasn’t misleading him.

Successfully completing the challenge granted him the right to control this place.

Jiang Chengxuan learned that each time this trial ground opened, it could accommodate a maximum of three thousand people and required a fifty-year interval between each opening.

He wouldn’t need to manage it personally; as long as he didn’t object, the trial ground would continue to operate according to this schedule.

Sure enough.

Such a trial ground had little attraction for cultivators above Soul Formation, but it was highly appealing to those below.

Even for Jiang Chengxuan, it held significant value.

He understood that the challenges faced in this trial ground were not experienced by one’s true self, meaning that death within this space wasn’t real.

Instead, failure would simply result in being expelled from this space.

Who wouldn’t be attracted to a place where they could experience

life-and-death battles without the risk of actual death?

Most importantly, the Jiang family controlled this place, and Jiang Chengxuan, as its master, could use it to train his disciples.

Once the news about this space spread throughout the Nine Essences Cultivation World, cultivators all around the world would also be drawn to such a place where they could train in life-and-death combat.

This would hold true even for Nascent Soul Perfected Lords and grand Nascent Soul cultivators.

Their next consideration was simply how to effectively manage this newfound tool.

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chengxuan wasted no time and immediately initiated his second challenge.

As the controller of this trial ground, he was naturally not restricted by the rules of this place.

Theoretically, he could undertake as many challenges as he wished, provided the realm had enough energy to support his endeavors.

After all, operating such a place required substantial energy, and the fifty-year interval between openings was meant to accumulate this energy.

Jiang Chengxuan’s participation in the trials was solely to complete the tasks assigned by the system.

Thus, the challenges he initiated were of the most basic level, facing opponents in Qi Refinement.

[Ding.]

After some time, Jiang Chengxuan completed his hundred trials.

The system timely announced his achievement.

[Congratulations, host. You have completed 100 trial challenges. You have obtained the Soul Formation section of the Five Elements Spirit Technique, one Tribulation Avoidance Pearl, and one Deduction Bead.]

Jiang Chengxuan really did not expect the rewards this time to be so generous.

There was no need to mention the Deduction Bead.

As for the Tribulation Avoidance Pearl, it was exactly what he needed most at the moment.

With this pearl, he could ascend to Soul Formation without anyone noticing, thus avoiding the human tribulation.

At that time, he might be able to give some people a “surprise.”

Additionally, and most importantly, was the main cultivation technique he would be practicing next, the Five Elements True Technique.

However, Jiang Chengxuan noticed that the system didn’t reward him with Soul Formation section of the Five Elements True Technique, but the Soul Formation section of the Five Elements Spirit Technique.

Did the name of the technique change after reaching Soul Formation stage?

To confirm this, he only needed to take a look at the contents of the Five Elements Spirit Technique to know.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan did not hesitate and immediately obtained all the content of the Soul Formation section of the Five Elements Spirit Technique through the system.

A moment later.

A look of enlightenment appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.

As he had suspected, the Five Elements Spirit Technique awarded by the system corresponded to the continuation of the Five Elements True Technique.

In other words, after reaching the Soul Formation stage, the technique was no longer called the Five Elements True Technique but had transformed into the Five Elements Spirit Technique.

Moreover, this cultivation technique had changed from being mediocre to extremely mysterious.

There were a total of five corresponding divine powers.

Moreover, the power of every divine power was very unfathomable.

They corresponded to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

This made Jiang Chengxuan suddenly realize something.

In the Nine Essences Cultivation WOrld, the Five Elements True Technique had contents only up to the Nascent Soul Chapter.

There was never any mention of subsequent chapters for Soul Formation, which could be another reason why the technique was considered mediocre by everyone.

Jiang Chengxuan was fortunate to receive the complete Soul Formation Chapter of this technique from the system.

Otherwise, he would have had to deduce it himself using the Heavenly Calculation Technique.

After organizing his thoughts and rewards, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t linger in the trial ground and soon left.

Upon arriving outside, Shen Ruyan greeted him with concern.

“Husband, how did it go? Are you alright?”

Jiang Chengxuan immediately smiled and nodded.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Then, he looked at Shen Ruyan and the four Heavenly Lords.

“Ruyan, and seniors, your guess was right. This place is indeed a trial ground left behind by the ancient times.”

As he spoke, he did not hide anything and immediately explained the situation inside to everyone.

Including the fact that he had become the controller of this trial ground.

He wasn’t worried about being envied as those who needed to know about this place were already aware.

For those who coveted this place, whether or not Jiang Chengxuan was the controller meant very little.

The most important thing was still their own strength.

As long as one was strong enough, it would naturally not be a problem to protect this trial ground and the super-large spiritual stone mine that appeared with it.

And vice versa.

Heavenly Lord Purple Flame, Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean, and the others were stunned.

They didn’t expect that Jiang Chengxuan would actually obtain such an opportunity after entering the trial ground.

Clearly, they all knew very well how extraordinary a place Jiang Chengxuan had obtained was to their Jiang family.

Then, Jiang Chengxuan said to the Heavenly Lords,

“Seniors, from now on, every time this trial ground opens, I will give your sect 200 free spots to enter this trial ground. What do you think?”

While two hundred free spots might seem small compared to the total of three thousand spots available each time, it’s important to remember that this trial ground essentially belonged to Jiang Chengxuan.

He had full authority over whom to grant access, and these two hundred spots were free and would continue indefinitely.

This was a gesture of gratitude for the previous favors from the four Heavenly Lords.

Otherwise, he would never have freely offered such access, considering his own family might need all the available spots.

Why did he have to give it to others?

And for free.

Heavenly Lord Purple Flame and the other three clearly knew that as well.

Heavenly Lord Purple Flame smiled. “I have no objections. I should be thanking you for offering two hundred free spots to my Purple Sun Palace..”
