Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 893: Sudden Message, Threat from the Outsiders

Chapter 893: Sudden Message, Threat from the Outsiders
Editor: Henyee Translations

The individuals who appeared were none other than Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan themselves.

Seeing Jiang Yuncheng, Huang Wenyu, and Huang Ling’er arrive, their faces were immediately overtaken by joyous expressions.

“Yuncheng, Brother Huang, and Ling’er, you’ve finally arrived!”

“Ancestors!”

“Brother Jiang!”

“Brother Jiang, Sister Shen.”

…

The reunion of old friends naturally led to a warm exchange of greetings.

After the initial pleasantries, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan took them to their residence on Cloud Mist Peak.

Through their conversation, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quickly learned about the situation in the lower realms over the years.

The Jiang family, in particular, had seen the emergence of several talented cultivators within their younger generation, with one or two possessing the potential to ascend.

In addition to the Jiang family, several other major sacred lands had also produced relatively outstanding younger generations.

However, whether these individuals could cultivate to the late phase of Soul Formation and ascend would depend on their own fortunes.

After all, very few in the lower realms managed to reach the late phase of the Soul Formation and ascend.

Over the years, besides Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, only four individuals from their circle had managed to ascend.

As for old acquaintances like Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean and Everlasting Mountain,, they were now nearing the end of their lifespans, making ascension an impossibility.

This realization brought a sense of melancholy to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Indeed.

The path of cultivation is not one that everyone can complete.

If not for undergoing various trials and hardships, even they would not have reached their current status.

Even so, the journey towards ascending to the Immortal Realm remains fraught with challenges.

On this day.

Jiang Chengxuan, Huang Wenyu, and the others talked at length, continuing their exchange until dawn the next day before pausing their conversation.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan began to inquire about their future plans and whether they wished to join the Haoran Sect, Jiang Yuncheng, Huang Wenyu, and Huang Ling’er did not hesitate to express their willingness to follow their advice and join the Haoran Sect.

Not long after their decision, a message was urgently delivered to the grand hall of the Haoran Sect.

Upon reading the contents, Sect Master Xue Ping was enraged to the point of smashing the table in front of him.

He immediately summoned Jiang Chengxuan and other cultivators to share the message with them.

When Jiang Chengxuan and the others read it, they were quite shocked.

The message turned out to be a joint ultimatum from the demon beasts of the Tianyao Realm, the deepsea nomads of the Changhai Realm, and the eldars of the Tianling Realm, demanding that the coordinates of a newly discovered world be opened to them.

Failure to comply would result in a joint attack on the Floodgate Realm by these realms.

This was clearly a blatant threat.

Also, who leaked the information about the new world to those guys?

It was clear that some of the Floodgate Realm’s various non-human races were involved.

Even if they weren’t directly responsible, they were somehow connected.

Soon after, other sects and families, such as the Pantheon Sect, Divine Shadow Gate, and the Qian Family, also sent communications to the Haoran Sect, indicating they had received similar messages.

This was an intolerable situation for all cultivators of the Floodgate Realm.

Did these foreign realms truly believe the Floodgate Realm would be so easily bullied?

In response, Sect Master Xue Ping immediately called for a council of elders.

He also dispatched Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan as representatives of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley to the Pantheon Sect to discuss the matter.

Upon their arrival at the Pantheon Sect, they were greeted by their acquaintance, Gao Baiyue.

Soon, leaders from many sects and families gathered in the Pantheon Sect’s council hall.

Wan Shentian, the current Sect Master of the Pantheon Sect, addressed the assembly with a grave tone,

“Everyone, you must all be aware of the messages sent by the demon beasts, deepsea nomads, and eldars from the other realms.

They wish to claim a share of the new world we’ve discovered, but that is utterly out of the question.”

Indeed.

Allowing these realms to have a foothold in the new world connected to the Floodgate Realm posed a significant potential threat to their own realm.

This was a red line for everyone involved.

So.

After Wan Shentian’s declaration, he immediately received widespread support from the assembled cultivators.

“Sect Master Wan is right; under no circumstances can we agree to their demands.”

“In my opinion, we might as well kill all the non-human races in our Floodgate Realm first.”

“If it comes to war, so be it. With the foundation of our Floodgate Realm, could we really fear them?”

…

Wan Shentian, Jiang Chengxuan, and the others were quite satisfied with everyone’s reaction.

Indeed.

It was clear there wasn’t much room for negotiation.

Since these foreign entities sought to meddle with the very foundations of their world, it appeared inevitable that a confrontation would ensue.

Wan Shenzun voiced,

“I understand what you mean.

The primary reason for convening everyone was to strategize for the impending conflict we might face.”

With that, Wan Shenzun began outlining the responsibilities for the various forces.

As one of the oldest and most powerful sects in the Floodgate Realm, his arrangements, grounded in reason and fairness, met with little resistance.

In fact, Wan Shenzun’s arrangements took into account the current reality, assigning each sect and family responsibilities for areas nearest to them.

Once everyone had a clear understanding of the situation, the meeting was adjourned.

At the same time.

Outside the boundary walls of the Floodgate Realm, ominous presences loomed, their icy gazes fixed on the magnificent world before them—the Floodgate Realm itself.

One being, colossal and serpentine, broke the silence,

“Everyone, the Floodgate Realm has discovered a new world of equal stature.

Despite the rumored presence of abyssal demons, the untapped resources within promise unimaginable wealth.

Should they fully exploit these resources, the human cultivators of the Floodgate Realm might pose a reverse threat to our realms.

So.

To safeguard our interests, we must act swiftly to deplete their foundations and strength.

Dragging them into a prolonged struggle with the abyssal demons would serve our purposes well.

What do you all think?”
