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

Chapter 646: The End of the War, Bad News of the

Northern Border

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Those two individuals unexpectedly self-destructed their physical bodies and their intrinsic Pure Yang True Treasures just now.

Although their primordial spirits remained, allowing them to continue surviving, the heavy injuries they suffered meant that their future Dao paths were completely severed.

Even their lifespans would greatly diminish.

Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord was approximately around 5,000 years.

If combined with various life-extending treasures, theoretically, it could extend up to 9,999 years.

However, for the current Xiao Shenji and Daoist Shang Tong, their remaining lifespan, at most, wouldn’t exceed a thousand years.

Moreover, unless they possessed life-extending treasures specifically designed for primordial spirits, regular life-extending treasures wouldn’t have any effect on them.

And this was the price of self-destructing their physical bodies and intrinsic Pure Yang True Treasures.

Most importantly, after this battle, the Eastern End and Central Plain’s attack on the Western Desert and Northern Border could be said to have failed.

Unless they were willing to gather all the forces of the two regions and go all out.

But that was obviously impossible.

If they really did that, the rebellious forces in their respective territories would immediately take action.

For example, the current Eastern End.

When the news of the fall of Soul Formation Heavenly Lords such as Heavenly Lord Radiant Sun, Chu Wuyou, and Chu Tianzong spread, rebellion forces behind Eastern End immediately began kicking up troubles.

It should be noted that in the Eastern End, there were already three Soul Formation Heavenly Lords, Yellow Autumn, Sword Lord Wu You, and Heavenly Lord Shao Yang, who had fallen while trying to hinder Shen Ruyan from reaching Dao.

Now, three Soul Formation Heavenly Lords—Heavenly Lord Radiant Sun, Chu Wuyou, and Chu Tianzhong—had fallen in order to attack the Western Desert and the Northern Border.

Adding it all up, Eastern End had lost a total of six Soul Formation Heavenly Lords to Jiang Chengxuan and his wife.

What kind of concept was this?

Well, in the South Wilderness, there was only one Soul Formation Heavenly Lord, Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss.

Similarly, in the current Western Desert, there were only two Soul Formation Heavenly Lords.

Even the Northern Border back then only had three Soul Formations in total.

Clearly.

Jiang Chengxuan and his wife’s recent actions have caused quite a stir.

Under these circumstances, the four major Soul Formation forces in the Eastern End are clearly struggling to control the situation.

If they continue to invest a significant portion of their forces here or even mobilize more from their homeland, it’s certain that, before long, these four Soul Formation forces will face attacks from rebellious forces within their own territories.

So.

When the primordial spirits of Xiao Shenji and Daoist Shang Tong managed to escape back to their own camp, the Soul Formation cultivator saved by Xiao Shencong and Wuxin Daoren, Heavenly Lord Tranquil Sun, immediately suggested whether they should withdraw at this point.

Because, at this time, he had already received news from his own sect about the changes in Eastern End.

The Rising Sun Hall had unexpectedly joined forces with various rebellious forces in the Eastern End, launching an attack on the Yellow Maple Sect and Radiance Sword Sect.

Xiao Shencong and Wu Xin were also aware of this news. Their expressions immediately turned very unsightly.

How many years has it been?

Eastern End and Central Plain haven’t suffered such a significant loss?

This is clearly taking advantage of the chaos.

A cold and chilling light appeared in everyone’s eyes.

However, in this situation, even if they were angry, it wouldn’t help.

The other party was betting on the fact that they wouldn’t return.

If you return, Xiao Shencong and the others could imagine that the people of the Rising Sun Hall would disappear like they did in the past.

This had happened more than once in the past.

It’s just that at this crucial moment, they felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

“Second Prince…”

Heavenly Lord Tranquil Sun could no longer sit still.

This was because in his opinion, it was clearly impossible for them to continue this battle.

If they insisted, the result would only be greater losses for their side.

Since that was the case, it would be better to withdraw first and deal with the rebellious forces in their homeland.

Otherwise, if the battlefield here doesn’t achieve victory and their side is in chaos due to the rebellious forces, it would truly be a double loss.

“Everyone, what do you think?”

Xiao Shencong turned to look at Wu Xin, Skyblade, Xiao Shenji, and Daoist Shang Tong.

At this moment, the few of them had clearly lost their fighting spirit.

Especially Xiao Shenji and Daoist Shang Tong.

Without their physical bodies, at this moment, their most significant concern was not war but how to recover from the injuries they sustained and make up for the loss of lifespan.

Other matters were things they didn’t want to or couldn’t care about.

“I think it’s better to resolve internal issues first before dealing with external threats.”

At this time, Wu Xin suddenly spoke.

“The Rising Sun Hall in the Eastern End has been in existence for quite a long time.

I believe that if we can, we should try our best to eliminate this hidden danger.”

Upon hearing Wu Xin’s words, Heavenly Lord Tranquil Sun immediately nodded in agreement.

If, this time, they could use the strength of Central Plain to completely eliminate the Rising Sun Hall, it would be a kind of consolation.

“I have no objections.”

At that moment, the Heavenly Lord said calmly.

Hearing his words, Xiao Shenji and Daoist Shang Tong nodded.

Thus, Xiao Shencong did not insist.

“Since everyone thinks this way, let’s withdraw to the Eastern End first and deal with the troublemakers there before deciding what to do next.”

Not long after.

Jiang Chengxuan and the others noticed that the cultivators from the Eastern End and Central Plain began to withdraw.

Jiang Chengxuan and his wife were obviously a bit surprised; they hadn’t expected the other party to choose to withdraw so quickly.

“If I’m not mistaken, something unexpected must have happened in their homeland.”

At this moment, Dongfang Tianxing spoke after some thought.

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Chengxuan and the others quickly caught on.

The hasty withdrawal of the other side, aside from encountering heavy casualties, indicated that there might be some issues occurring in their homeland.

“Should we pursue them next, or…?” Murong Xian tentatively asked.

Dongfang Tianxing shook his head.

“I suggest not to pursue.

Although they have suffered severe injuries, they are not without the ability to fight back. If we push them too hard, none of us can guarantee whether they still have some hidden trump cards.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, what do you think?”

With that said, Eastern End turned his gaze towards Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and the others.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances.

Eventually, Jiang Chengxuan nodded and said,

“I agree with Fellow Daoist Dongfang.

After this war, if they still want to attack the Western Desert and the Northern Border like this time, it won’t be as easy.

Let alone the fact that, at that time, the Abyss of Celestial Beasts will likely become a significant obstacle hindering their advance.

Of course.

This place will also become a threat to us.”

“Mm, Fellow daoist Jiang, you mean…?”

Murong Xian’s expression changed as if she had thought of something.

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“Exactly. Next, what we need to consider is the threat from the demon races.

After all, once the protection period is over, the demon races will not stay idle.

After all these years of preparing, they are bound to make significant moves.

Especially in this Abyss of Celestial Beasts.

Although we treated it as a battlefield, we have also established profound karma with the demon races here. When the time comes, they will definitely come looking for trouble.

So.

Before that, we need to further strengthen the defense here.”

After hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, everyone present could not help but nod in agreement.

After that.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, along with others, did not leave the war fortress immediately. Instead, they stayed behind to closely monitor the movements of the Eastern End and Central Plain.

After all, even though they had made the move to evacuate, no one could guarantee that it wasn’t just a diversion.

They needed to make sure everything was foolproof.

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.

During these years, Jiang Chengxuan and his companions had not seen any trace of cultivators from the Eastern End and Central Plain.

They could be quite sure of this.

Most importantly, through their spies in various places, they had confirmed that Xiao Shencong and the others who had left had already gone to the Eastern End and had a huge battle with the Rising Sun Hall there.

Fortunately, Rising Sun Hall was prepared for this, so they were not wiped out in one fell swoop.

Moreover, their stronghold was extremely secretive.

Even though Xiao Shencong and the others had done all they could, they still could not find out where they were hiding.

From then on, Jiang Chengxuan and the others finally confirmed that Xiao Shencong and his group had indeed left this area.

Therefore.

Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, and Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean didn’t stay any longer.

After a period of time, the four of them finally returned to the Northern Border with their respective people.

Just after returning to the Northern Border, the four suddenly received a voice transmission from Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang. It was about Heavenly Lord Purple Flame.

According to Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang, not long ago, Heavenly Lord Purple Flame’s injuries suddenly worsened, almost to the point of uncontrollable.

This made the expressions of Jiang Chengxuan and the other three immediately change.

They hadn’t expected to hear such tragic news just after returning to the Northern Border.

Immediately, the four didn’t dare to delay. They swiftly headed towards the direction of Purple Sun Palace.

Upon arriving at Purple Sun Palace and seeing Heavenly Lord Purple Flame, the hearts of the four sank.

Heavenly Lord Purple Flame at this moment exuded a decaying aura, with whitening hair, wrinkled skin, and the appearance of an elderly person.

At this moment.

The expressions of Jiang Chengxuan and the other three became extremely solemn..
