Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats Chapter 1785– Subduing the Treasure, Continuing the Exploration (Part 2)

Chapter 1785: Subduing the Treasure, Continuing the Exploration (Part 2)

Almost effortlessly, Jiang Chengxuan advanced yet another step towards the Golden Immortal realm.

However, following this success, a terrifying crisis was swiftly approaching them.

Leaving behind the vast desert, Jiang Chengxuan and the two others journeyed deeper into the heart of the ancient immortal's cave.

It was unknown how much time had passed when they finally traversed the barren region and reached a more profound layer of the cave.

What unfolded before their eyes was a grand structure paved with endless stone platforms.

Layer upon layer of space partitioned the world like a celestial city suspended between realms.

In the distance, faint outlines of towering palaces pierced the clouds, and enormous shadows or glowing orbs loomed even farther away, exuding mysterious auras.

“This must be the true core of the Ancient Golden Immortal's Cave!”

Seeing the splendor before them, both Yuntian and Yundi were awestruck, their eyes shining.

One man, one city!

From the vastness of this place alone, it was clear how unimaginable the power held by Golden Immortal sects of ancient times must have been.

“A place like this must be explored step by step. Otherwise, coming here would be in vain!”

Even as Grand Elders of the Yunlan Immortal Sect, they felt a surge of fervor, as if they had stepped into a treasury beyond their dreams.

“Agreed.”

Naturally, Jiang Chengxuan was equally thrilled.

Given how many fortuitous encounters lay even at the outskirts, the true depths of this ancient Golden Immortal's domain would surely hold even greater treasures.

Without hesitation, the three picked the nearest grand hall and transformed into streaks of flowing light, soaring toward it.

Before long, they arrived before a magnificent palace.

It gleamed like it was cast from colored glass, reflecting dazzling brilliance.

Golden bricks, jade tiles, towering heights—it was sheer opulence.

Even just standing at the entrance, they could feel an overwhelming sense of grandeur and nobility pouring over them.

“Let's go in and have a look!”

Without delay, the three ascended the steps to the massive golden gates, channeling their immortal power to push open the heavy doors.

There was resistance—a residual sealing force—but it was no match for three late-stage Mystic Immortal experts.

Boom!

In an instant, the golden gates swung open, revealing an interior of dazzling splendor.

The walls and ceilings were adorned with five-colored gemstones and vivid carvings of dragons and phoenixes, all so lifelike they seemed ready to leap from the stone.

“This is…”

But as Jiang Chengxuan and the others stepped inside, what they saw left them momentarily stunned.

Piled within the grand hall were mountains of immortal crystals and precious jewels.

For a moment, the three were speechless.

They hadn't expected that one of the main halls of an Ancient Golden Immortal would merely serve as a storage for mundane wealth—a slight to the Golden Immortal's majesty.

Such external riches might have been valuable to ordinary immortals, but for those like Jiang Chengxuan who stood atop the immortal path, mere wealth meant little.

At their level, the resources they required could not be measured in gold or jewels—they needed rare, fateful treasures.

“Seems like this Golden Immortal was quite the thrifty one,” Yuntian and Yundi muttered, half-laughing, half-sighing.

Jiang Chengxuan, however, wasn't the least bit bothered.

He said lightly to them:

“Since we're here, we might as well take it. Leaving it to collect dust would be a waste.”

Hearing this, Yuntian and Yundi found his reasoning sound.

Without further ado, each summoned their inner realms, stirring up whirlwinds to sweep the mountains of wealth into their personal spaces like whales sucking in water.

It took a considerable effort, but eventually, they managed to store all the treasures, piling up mountain-sized heaps within their internal worlds.

“Let's move on to the next one.”

Without lingering, Jiang Chengxuan turned and sped off, looting the palace as effortlessly as a bandit raiding a storehouse, heading for another shadowy structure looming in the distance.

This time, after traversing layer after layer of space, the trio arrived at a large, ancient-looking hall.

Unlike the previous glittering palace, this hall was built entirely of colossal redwood pillars that seemed to reach the heavens, decorated with rustic lanterns and landscapes carved into the walls.

The scene stirred their curiosity—what might be stored here?

In truth, they all had their suspicions that the outermost halls probably wouldn't hold anything truly rare.

While grand, these palaces lacked strong defenses—clear evidence that their contents weren't of vital importance.

Still, they were in no rush; leisurely exploring could also offer insights into the Golden Immortal's tastes.

Boom—!

Just as Jiang Chengxuan had anticipated, the grand doors swung open with minimal effort, no significant enchantments stopping them.

Inside, they saw rows upon rows of puppets, each shaped differently—some humanoid, some beast-like, others resembling demons or monsters.

The hall was filled with an overwhelming array of forms.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Chengxuan and the others realized that these puppets were not particularly powerful, mostly at the Earth Immortal level or below.

“Some of the craftsmanship here might still be useful for puppet refinement,” Jiang Chengxuan commented, seeing some potential value for puppet masters.

“Collect them!”

Yuntian and Yundi agreed without hesitation.

In the same fashion as before, the three efficiently gathered up all the puppets, stowing them away.

Truthfully, while neither the previous wealth nor these puppets were earth-shattering treasures, they still held utility, especially for nurturing future forces.

“Let's go!”

Once again, they cleared out the hall completely and continued onward under Jiang Chengxuan's lead.

Thus, time passed as they moved hall by hall, looting everything they could easily access.

Although they had yet to find any truly peerless treasures, it was far from a fruitless venture.

The Ancient Golden Immortal's collection was vast and miscellaneous, containing all manner of cultivation-related materials—enough to nurture countless Earth Immortal-level forces.

Yet for Jiang Chengxuan and his companions, standing at the Mystic Immortal realm, this was still insufficient.

Having emptied all the easily accessible halls, their gaze finally shifted toward the radiant, treasure-imbued zones farther in.

Upon approaching the first such treasure site, they immediately encountered powerful barriers.

Layer upon layer of gauzy curtains of light wrapped the treasure in countless veils, pulsing with runes and suffused with immortal radiance, exuding immense power.

“Finally, something worthwhile.”

Rather than feeling pressure, the trio smiled brightly.

This was the kind of protection that suggested truly valuable treasures.

Jiang Chengxuan stepped forward first.

Behind him, the force of his internal realm surged, shaking the heavens.

He raised his right hand and cleaved downward—an attack like the opening strike of creation itself, carving a massive abyss through the world.

Rumble!

Under such overwhelming force, the countless layers of gauzy barriers exploded into chaotic storms, twisting the surrounding space wildly.

Originally, the formation was meant to deflect attacks delicately, using minimal force to counter great strength.

But faced with Jiang Chengxuan's brute-force approach, the formation twisted to its limits—and shattered.

Thousands upon thousands of layers of light were torn apart, dispersing into fluttering clouds blown away by the storm.

Finally, the treasure hidden within was fully revealed.

It burst forth, casting dazzling colors across the entire world.

Jiang Chengxuan shifted from cleaving to grasping, pulling the source of the light into his palm.

“The Sunset Radiance Pill Formula?”

Glancing at it, Jiang Chengxuan murmured to himself.

It turned out to be a pill recipe.
