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

Chapter 1247: Primeval Wind, Unraveling the Mystery, Part 2

Editor: Henyee Translations

The best thing they could rely on was Shen Ruyan’s mastery of the Dao of Wind. Especially after breaking through to the late Ascension stage, Shen Ruyan’s comprehension of the celestial Dao had deepened.

“I can feel it… but it keeps moving…” Shen Ruyan, surrounded by layers of breezes, frowned and said.

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Qin Shenwu’s expressions became serious. It seemed that the Primeval Wind had turned into a spirit, meaning they would inevitably have to fight to obtain it. However, this time, they were prepared and would not be caught off guard as before. As their eyes exchanged glances, Jiang Chengxuan quickly formulated a plan.

…

In a certain part of this wind plane, a strange and enormous shadow was shuttling through fierce and malevolent winds. It carried a faint primeval celestial glow and was composed of countless types of wind power, looking like an ancient phoenix—dazzling and majestic.

Any wind-related Dao principles would become incredibly docile in its presence, merging seamlessly into its body. In this realm, it was the undisputed ruler.

“Chirp—!”

Soaring through the sky, it let out a loud cry, resonating in all directions. However, at this moment, a silver light suddenly exploded in the void ahead, enveloping the entire area at an incredible speed, leaving no room for escape.

“Chirp—!”

The Primeval Wind Spirit screeched, realizing it had fallen into an ambush. Its massive nine-colored wings flapped, generating celestial winds strong enough to shake the heavens and earth continuously.

“Primeval Thunder!”

“Primeval Five Elements, Mountain Seal!”

In the next moment, two shouts echoed from both sides of the Primeval Wind Spirit. Immediately, a thunderbolt imbued with primeval power blasted through numerous layers of storm, carrying destructive force. Simultaneously, a massive hand, manifesting millions of mountain peaks and shining with primeval light, formed out of nowhere, suppressing the storm.

It was clear that all of this was orchestrated by Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Qin Shenwu. After deducing the Primeval Wind Spirit’s movements, Jiang Chengxuan led the others here for an ambush. Using his Reversal of Reincarnation to catch the Primeval Wind Spirit off guard, he allowed Shen Ruyan and Qin Shenwu to unleash their strongest attacks to suppress it.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Their swift actions completely caught the Primeval Wind Spirit off guard, and the immense power made it feel fearful. As three different primeval forces erupted, the entire reversed inner world expanded and contracted violently, as if it would burst. Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan reacted quickly, exerting his full power to suppress it. Otherwise, if the domain broke, the Primeval Wind Spirit would escape instantly.

“Kengjin Void Sword, Strike!”

The next moment, seeking to end the battle quickly, Jiang Chengxuan summoned the Kengjin Void Sword, launching it to join Shen Ruyan and Qin Shenwu in their assault. The already chaotic battlefield became even more chaotic, destruction rampant.

“Chirp—!”

Amidst the intense screeching, the Primeval Wind Spirit continuously summoned celestial winds, engaging in an all-out battle with Shen Ruyan, Qin Shenwu, and Jiang Chengxuan. But from the outset, the battle’s outcome was decided.

Unable to utilize its speed advantage, the Primeval Wind Spirit, though not highly advanced in cultivation, could not withstand the combined assault of a True Immortal and two Ascension stage cultivators. Even the opponents wielded primeval forces, showing no fear of the Primeval Wind.

The fierce battle lasted for seven days. Finally, Jiang Chengxuan extended his hand, unleashing the power of reincarnation, causing the entire Reversal of Reincarnation world to collapse.

The terrifying forces from all directions crushed the struggling Primeval Wind Spirit. With the windstorm’s howling, the universe cleared, revealing a glowing primeval rune suspended in the void, emanating a profound aura.

“Ruyan, go ahead.”

Jiang Chengxuan said softly, and Shen Ruyan nodded deeply before flying to the primeval rune, beginning her comprehension and absorption. Before arriving, they had already decided that Shen Ruyan would take this primeval rune as she was best suited with her wind Dao principles.

After a period of waiting, Shen Ruyan successfully acquired the second primeval force, becoming the one who gained the most fortuitous encounters in this exploration. Her aura surged again, nearly reaching the peak of the Ascension stage.

“Husband, I have mastered the power of the Primeval Wind!”

Standing beside Jiang Chengxuan and Qin Shenwu, Shen Ruyan smiled radiantly. Jiang Chengxuan and Qin Shenwu both smiled back, without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan used his mastery of spatial manipulation to open a deep space portal.

Having completed their objective, they left decisively. After they departed, the winds in this realm, no longer sustained by the primeval force, began to rage wildly, causing the plane to start collapsing.

With their prior experiences, their subsequent explorations became more efficient. Upon arriving in a new plane, the three would commence their search. However, this time, after searching thoroughly, they found no trace of primeval force.

“It seems not all minor planes contain primeval force. Some planes’ primeval force may have been entirely consumed during their formation.”

Jiang Chengxuan speculated, and the others nodded in agreement. They left the plane and moved to the next one. Unfortunately, their luck seemed to have run out, as they found no primeval force in several planes.

“Could it be that we are heading in the wrong direction?” Qin Shenwu asked, his voice heavy.

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan felt a subtle unease. Their goal was to find the true Primeval Fragment, not just the primeval runes. What method could they use to locate it?

As Jiang Chengxuan pondered deeply, a flash of inspiration struck him. A hypothesis emerged, and he felt it might be the correct solution.

“I’ve got it! Perhaps, if we find the worlds containing Primeval Water and Primeval Fire, the location of the Primeval Fragment will reveal itself!”

Attracting Shen Ruyan and Qin Shenwu’s attention, Jiang Chengxuan confidently explained. Their eyes gleamed, realizing the possibility.

“Thunder, Wind, Earth, Water, Fire!”

These were believed to be the five basic elements constituting all things during the primordial chaos. Jiang Chengxuan’s hypothesis was based on this theory, with a high probability of being correct.

“Brilliant, Chengxuan!”

“Husband, that’s wonderful!”

Qin Shenwu and Shen Ruyan praised, their faces beaming.

“Let’s go, no time to lose!” Jiang Chengxuan urged, eager to start.

In the following exploration, with this new goal, their search speed increased significantly. They bypassed planes unrelated to water and fire, focusing only on those with similar characteristics.

This saved considerable effort, and only about one in every dozen planes required their investigation. Finally, their perseverance paid off as they once again sensed the presence of a primeval force.
