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

Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Ruyan’s own strength was already very close to Dao Mastery, being at the peak of Dao Fusion.

Originally, Jiang Chengxuan had also reached the culmination of Dao Fusion before he chose to break through to Dao Mastery.

The likelihood of a successful breakthrough for those who reach completeness is inherently higher than for those who force their way through.

With Jiang Chengxuan’s protection and the Thunder Dao Fruit aiding her, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were fully confident in her breakthrough.

However, such an endeavor was inherently risky and not to be taken lightly.

After briefly testing the waters of the breakthrough, Shen Ruyan chose to pause.

The power of the Thunder Dao Fruit had already bridged the last gap in her cultivation.

Her state was completely peaked, even more so than Jiang Chengxuan at his time of breakthrough.

Since Jiang Chengxuan was present, he shared his experiences of his own breakthrough to Dao Mastery with Shen Ruyan. There was no rush—preparation was essential for a successful breakthrough.

“The breakthrough to Dao Mastery, aside from refining the bottleneck of the realm, requires patience and carefulness, especially breaking through the Dao rule, which is the most perilous part,” Jiang Chengxuan explained to Shen Ruyan, analyzing the obstacles he had encountered during his breakthrough.

The key to breaking through to Dao Mastery lies in discovering or comprehending a new essence of the Dao. This acts as a catalyst to fully master one’s own Dao rule. Only by doing this can one truly control the power of the Dao rule and achieve Dao Mastery.

In the process of comprehending new Dao rules, it is very easy to get lost in the primordial chaos of the universe—this was the greatest danger, one that Jiang Chengxuan himself had nearly succumbed to.

Shen Ruyan listened intently to Jiang Chengxuan’s detailed insights, which could significantly increase the likelihood of her successful breakthrough.

Finally, Jiang Chengxuan brought out the black lotus he had obtained in the meteorite area and placed it beside Shen Ruyan.

This black lotus served as the ultimate insurance, ensuring a foolproof breakthrough.

It was the essence of the black lotus that had pulled Jiang Chengxuan back from being lost in the primordial chaos of the universe.

Now, in this immortal cave abode where items were abundant, it was a significant boost for Shen Ruyan, who was about to break through to Dao Mastery. It goes without saying that Shen Ruyan, being close to Jiang Chengxuan, also possessed an incredibly strong fortune.

Finally, Jiang Chengxuan brought out the resources for breakthroughs that he hadn’t used up, adding some from their current loot from the immortal cave abode, amassing enough for Shen Ruyan’s needs. ℞𝙖ＮȎβЁS̈

Shen Ruyan sat in the middle of a spirit-gathering array, surrounded by treasures. This ordinary cave had been transformed into a sanctum for breakthrough.

“It’s ready, Ruyan. I’ll protect you. You may begin,” Jiang Chengxuan said.

“Okay.”

As the cave regained its tranquility, Shen Ruyan officially commenced her breakthrough.

Though centuries behind Jiang Chengxuan, if Shen Ruyan succeeded now, she would still be one of the fastest in the history of Thunderclap Valley to achieve Dao Mastery.

Sizzling sounds filled the air as the rule of the Five Elements Thunder manifested, with thunder flickering uncertainly throughout the cave.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan slowly rose and moved to the entrance of the cave to sit down, his spirit and consciousness firmly focused on Shen Ruyan, ready to assist at any moment.

By then, Shen Ruyan had fully entered the state of breakthrough. The surrounding resources and treasures, as she cycled her cultivation technique, manifested their powers, continuously releasing their energy.

Shen Ruyan absorbed these forces entirely, her aura beginning to rise rapidly. Just a few breaths in, her surging aura quickly touched the bottleneck.

This bottleneck, however, was exceptionally fragile for Shen Ruyan, trembling at the slightest touch, ready to shatter at any moment.

Initially, Jiang Chengxuan had utilized the power of pills to trigger his breakthrough. Similarly, Shen Ruyan now experienced the same effect, bolstered by her fortunate circumstances.

After several contacts, the bottleneck of Dao Mastery suddenly shattered, serving as a catalyst for the barriers of the realm to slowly dissolve.

This was akin to opening the first gate to the breakthrough to Dao Mastery.

What remained was a gradual erosion of the realm’s barriers until the realm fully expanded to the level of Dao Mastery.

Shen Ruyan handled the breakthrough process adeptly, exhibiting no disturbances. Outside, Jiang Chengxuan, witnessing Shen Ruyan’s rapid induction of the breakthrough aura, felt immense joy.

Indeed, Shen Ruyan’s breakthrough was progressing faster than his own had. After all, the conditions he provided for her were even more favorable than those he had himself used.

As Shen Ruyan’s bottleneck shattered, her aura began to rise again. Each cycle of her cultivation technique saw the surrounding treasures breathing their energies into her, like taking deep breaths, transferring their power to her.

This process was bound to be lengthy and required patience.

Both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan understood this well and settled into a state of meditation, focusing deeply on their cultivation.

For Shen Ruyan, having Jiang Chengxuan’s protection undoubtedly provided immense reassurance. She felt completely confident about the breakthrough, without any rush or anxiety.

“Time in the mountains does not abide by the years; when the cold ends, one does not know the year,” reflected the state of their tranquil retreat. In the bustling and competitive realm of the immortal cave abode, the place where Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan resided became a rare sanctuary of peace.

Time passed unnoticed, and Shen Ruyan’s aura neared Dao Mastery realm. The treasures around her were almost entirely consumed, their energies transformed into her Dharmic power.

Ding.

At a certain moment, a mysterious sound resonated through the air. A powerful vortex of spirit absorption suddenly manifested around Shen Ruyan, furiously drawing in the surrounding spiritual energies.

Jiang Chengxuan opened his eyes, a flash of spiritual light within them signaling his awareness that Shen Ruyan had completed her breakthrough.

The cave had transformed into a domain of bizarre thunder and lightning, filled with explosive and dominant forces suffusing the void.

A breakthrough in realm signified that Shen Ruyan’s journey through this particular advancement was halfway completed.

But the next step was crucial for Dao Mastery.

As the vortex furiously devoured the Primordial Spirit, Shen Ruyan’s realm gradually stabilized within Dao Mastery level. Subsequently, the pervasive Five Elements Thunder Dao, which filled the area, began its strange transarray.

Jiang Chengxuan’s focus intensified even further, his spirit entirely concentrated on the unfolding changes.
