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

Chapter 1789: Ao Jian Xuan Zun, A Duel Part 2

Editor: Henyee Translations

Naturally, there are no incompetent beings here.

It was clear that the treasure area that Ao Jian Xuan Zun had set his sights on had already been claimed by Jiang Cheng Xuan. However, seeing the several glowing orbs hidden within the formation, Ao Jian Xuan Zun couldn’t help but struggle, unwilling to give up easily.

“Boom!!”

Before he could think further, Jiang Cheng Xuan also sensed the sudden arrival of an uninvited guest. In an instant, he activated his Xuanjie power, triggering another terrifying collision within the formation. His entire body was sent flying out, using the force to temporarily pause his battle and move outside the formation.

“Who are you?” Jiang Cheng Xuan, his body surrounded by blazing immortal power, his eyes gleaming with divine light, looked at Ao Jian Xuan Zun and asked without hesitation.

Despite the fact that the Ancient Golden Immortal Cave was a lawless place, Jiang Cheng Xuan’s temperament was not one to attack upon seeing someone.

“I am Ao Jian of the Tianjian Immortal Sect. I came here following the strange fluctuations of the celestial light,” Ao Jian Xuan Zun responded calmly, his face serious, showing no change in his expression.

This was an unexpected and sensitive meeting. Though they were both cultivators of the same realm, Jiang Cheng Xuan was a newcomer, and the two were practically strangers to each other. If it were Yun Tian and Yun Di, perhaps they could have exchanged a few words with Ao Jian Xuan Zun, since they had spent many years in the Ancient Realm and had met him before.

Fortunately, the Tianjian Immortal Sect was a righteous sect, and Ao Jian Xuan Zun was not like those from the Ghost Walk Immortal Sect, who might have attacked without warning. Of course, this might also be due to Ao Jian Xuan Zun recognizing Jiang Cheng Xuan’s extraordinary strength.

For the time being, aside from the continuous fluctuations of the celestial light and the roaring waves, the world was quiet.

Both Jiang Cheng Xuan and Ao Jian Xuan Zun sized each other up, neither making a move.

“I’ve already explored this area for quite some time… Wouldn’t it be better if you sought another place?” Jiang Cheng Xuan broke the silence, his gaze sharp as he spoke.

He could tell that Ao Jian Xuan Zun wasn’t keen on leaving just yet, but Jiang Cheng Xuan didn’t want to waste time, so he directly addressed the issue.

As expected, upon hearing this, Ao Jian Xuan Zun’s eyes flickered. He didn’t immediately respond but began to ponder something.

After a moment, he spoke in a deep voice, “I noticed your impressive swordsmanship within the formation earlier. I would like to ask for your guidance, if possible.”

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Cheng Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He understood the underlying meaning immediately.

Clearly, this treasure trove was filled with many valuable items, and Ao Jian Xuan Zun was eager to claim some of them. However, he was still rational enough to not wish for a deadly confrontation with Jiang Cheng Xuan. Instead, he wanted to spar to determine who would have the right to claim the area.

If Jiang Cheng Xuan refused, Ao Jian Xuan Zun would have no reason to leave without a fight.

“Since you are interested, I, Jiang, am happy to oblige,” Jiang Cheng Xuan responded without hesitation, his demeanor calm and composed, showing no sign of fear or concern.

His nonchalant attitude made Ao Jian Xuan Zun’s eyes narrow. Clearly, Jiang Cheng Xuan’s confidence had risen in his estimation.

However, Ao Jian Xuan Zun did not retreat because of Jiang Cheng Xuan’s overwhelming confidence. The treasures in this place belonged to the worthy, and while he had no desire to steal what Jiang Cheng Xuan had already claimed, he was eager to take anything that remained unclaimed. It was only natural, and no one could fault him for that.

Thus, this duel was, in theory, a fair one. There were no personal grudges, but the stakes were high, and the battle would be fierce, with enormous benefits at play.

Moreover, as a disciple of the Tianjian Immortal Sect, Ao Jian Xuan Zun relished competing with strong opponents. This was one of the main reasons he insisted on contesting this territory with Jiang Cheng Xuan.

Without further words, the duel was set. Suddenly, the world fell into silence, the air thick with tension. The moment was so charged that it felt as if a storm was bearing down on both of them.

Within the Xuanjie, both their powers exploded to the fullest extent. The spaces around them seemed to bend and crack as two worlds, dazzling with Xuan force, unfolded in the void, taking up half the sky.

Within their respective Xuanjie, the laws of power flowed and intertwined. One was an ocean of vast and majestic energy, while the other was the sharpest sword intent, as if ready to split the heavens.

“Please, enlighten me!”

In a split second, the sound had not yet reached the ears, but the sword light had already slashed through the sky!

Ao Jian Xuan Zun chose to break the deadlock, his celestial sword carrying terrifying sword intent, slashing through the sky with a force capable of splitting apart the heavens. In the blink of an eye, the silence shattered as he was already before Jiang Cheng Xuan.

The overwhelming pressure from the attack forced Jiang Cheng Xuan to react without hesitation. He knew the Tianjian disciples specialized in swordsmanship, excelling in offensive and destructive techniques.

Reacting swiftly, Jiang Cheng Xuan wielded his Taichu Hongmeng Sword, which coiled like a mystical serpent and met the oncoming attack head-on.

In the next moment, his aura as a late-stage Xuan Immortal burst forth. The two celestial swords clashed without deviation, one shining brilliantly, the other sharp as a blade, seemingly capable of splitting the world in two.

“Boom!!”

The earth-shattering explosion reverberated through the heavens and the earth, and both combatants were sent flying. However, without missing a beat, they both charged back in with their swords, tearing through the fabric of space itself!

This sudden and intense battle was one that neither side wished to drag out. Both Jiang Cheng Xuan and Ao Jian Xuan Zun aimed to resolve it as quickly as possible, so they wouldn’t waste any time searching for treasure.

This, in fact, benefited Ao Jian Xuan Zun. In such a head-on clash, sword cultivators always had the upper hand.

“Celestial Sword Descends!”

In the next instant, Ao Jian Xuan Zun roared, his celestial sword emanating a powerful aura.

From several points in the sky, celestial light erupted.

Then, four immense Celestial Swords appeared from thin air, radiating destruction, and charged toward Jiang Cheng Xuan!

These Celestial Swords contained formidable power. They were unique techniques of the Tianjian Immortal Sect, formed through the power to communicate with the heavens and the earth!

This was just a probing attack, and Ao Jian Xuan Zun had already revealed his trump card!

“Nine Mystical Bodhi Lotus Lamp! Activate!”

Feeling the overwhelming pressure, Jiang Cheng Xuan did not hesitate. He summoned one of his own trump cards.

A nine-colored immortal lotus bloomed within the Xuanjie, and an endless flow of immortal power poured into his body, instantly raising his aura to the peak of Xuanjie.

Without waiting for Ao Jian Xuan Zun to react, Jiang Cheng Xuan’s wings of divine light, formed from the Scriptures of the Ten Thousand Ages, flapped powerfully, and he soared into the sky, breaking through the celestial sword blockade!

“Slash!”

At this point, words were unnecessary. Jiang Cheng Xuan swung his Taichu Hongmeng Sword, and the golden celestial light blazed, immediately turning defense into offense, taking the initiative.

The full power of his Xuanjie shook Ao Jian Xuan Zun, but before he could react, Jiang Cheng Xuan had already arrived.

The terrifying celestial light cut through the layers of Celestial Swords, chilling Ao Jian Xuan Zun to the bone.

However, as one of the Tianjian Immortal Sect’s grand elders, Ao Jian Xuan Zun was no stranger to battle. His initial panic was suppressed by a calm, steady breath. Drawing upon the power of his Xuanjie, he did not retreat but advanced, transforming into a stream of light and charging toward Jiang Cheng Xuan.

“Boom!!”

What seemed like a long battle had actually taken place in the blink of an eye.

In the brief moments since the two began their confrontation, Jiang Cheng Xuan, with his perfect Xuanjie aura, struck a blow that created an explosion powerful enough to ripple through the entire area.

Although on the surface this was merely a duel, neither Jiang Cheng Xuan nor Ao Jian Xuan Zun wished to lose. Both were determined to give their all, using every technique at their disposal until the other was convinced.

“Slash!”

In the midst of the battlefield, Jiang Cheng Xuan’s first strike landed successfully, but he did not stop. His second sword followed swiftly, leaving behind a trail of afterimages as it cleaved through the chaotic storm.
