Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 1949: The Great Luo Dao Scripture, Insight into the Mortal World (Part 2)

Chapter 1949: The Great Luo Dao Scripture, Insight into the Mortal World (Part 2)

Yet, the entire experience left a deep impression on Jiang Chengxuan.

Whether it was the first time he ventured into the forbidden zone to confront its strangeness and ominousness, or the secrets hidden deep within that zone, all of it was impossible to ignore.

The strange connection between the Great Luo Golden Immortals and the forbidden zones, the disappearance of the Primordial Chaos energy in the Ancient Realm—these facts were profoundly shocking.

“That was definitely not the will of someone who has just entered the Great Luo realm…”

Jiang Chengxuan muttered softly to himself as he recalled that powerful consciousness.

“This time, when I break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I must venture back into that forbidden zone and investigate further.”

At present, Jiang Chengxuan’s desire to advance his cultivation soared.

According to Zhe Chuan, there were many forbidden zones throughout the Ancient Realm, each occupied by a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This truly revealed the vastness of the Ancient Realm and the countless unsurpassed existences that had long been hidden.

They coveted the fleeting opportunities within these forbidden zones and dared not leave for even a moment, thus remaining elusive.

Yet once they took action, the entire pattern of the Ancient Realm could change effortlessly!

Great Luo Golden Immortals had reached an immortal and indestructible state, coexisting with the Dao itself.

Their existence was shrouded in mystery, and many might have been prodigies of their eras—or even came from the future!

Imagining the endless possibilities of eternal life and immortality, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but feel exhilarated, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Taking out the Great Luo Dao Scripture bestowed by the system, Jiang Chengxuan focused his mind to study it.

For some reason, there was a faint sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before.

He gently opened the first page, but instead of words, there were intricate runes interwoven, faintly shifting in an endless dance.

“These are extremely ancient characters, requiring gradual deciphering, or even the use of the Primordial Spirit to comprehend their transformations.”

Jiang Chengxuan realized the scripture’s profundity.

This ancient tome was written in the language of the Dao, extremely obscure and difficult to understand.

It contained the author’s thoughts, insights, and even emotions.

Only by comparing and cross-referencing these ancient characters could one resonate with the Dao embedded within, allowing Jiang Chengxuan to better comprehend it.

Suppressing his eagerness for the moment, Jiang Chengxuan made his way to the Haoran Immortal Sect’s grand library.

That was a towering structure that completely transformed a valley, resembling a massive ancient tome hundreds of meters tall, standing proud between heaven and earth.

Various great arrays were laid out inside, gathering spiritual energy and forming defenses.

In moments of danger, the entire library could even be relocated.

“Welcome, Patriarch!”

“Welcome, Patriarch!”

Thanks to his status, Jiang Chengxuan did not need to enter through the main gate.

He stepped through countless formations and arrived directly at the highest floor.

Immediately, two elderly elders appeared, bowed respectfully, and said, “You have worked hard.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled kindly and returned their respect before entering the library.

From above, he came directly to the highest level, filled with countless ancient scriptures and Dao methods.

These were the most precious treasures in the entire library, restricted even from the sect’s grand elders.

The surroundings were extremely simple and spacious.

In the center was a single yellow meditation cushion.

Around it, ancient books were scattered like stars, protected within pillars of light formed by formation magic.

On the floor were faintly visible complex totems—part of a quasi-Golden Immortal formation that added solemnity and a sense of antiquity.

Jiang Chengxuan had only visited this place once during its construction.

Now, approaching the cushion and sitting down, his heart was calm and serene.

“I never imagined that reaching this level would lead me back to hard study.”

Sitting peacefully, Jiang Chengxuan smiled wryly.

He took out the Great Luo Dao Scripture again, holding it carefully.

He also prepared incense, then began to study.

Soon, with his state of mind, Jiang Chengxuan was fully immersed in the scripture, free of distractions.

Within this spacious, antique-style library, Jiang Chengxuan, dressed in white, sat motionless like a stone Buddha.

His aura was distant and calm, resembling a common scholar.

Only the occasional ripple of space and the subtle emanation of profound energy revealed his extraordinary nature.

Time passed like no clock in the mountains, coldness beyond knowing the years.

After repeatedly breaking limits and cultivation realms, finally reaching Golden Immortal Perfection, no one expected Jiang Chengxuan to settle into such a scholarly life.

For the next thousand years, he devoted himself entirely within the Haoran Immortal Sect to studying the Great Luo Dao Scripture and reading various ancient texts.

Following its instructions, he practiced Dao methods and refined mystical treasures.

The scripture contained not only many Great Luo Golden Immortals’ insights into the Dao, but also numerous techniques for refining Dao, mind, and body.

These were ancient secret methods Jiang Chengxuan had never heard of before.

Even for someone at his Golden Immortal Perfection level, they proved quite effective!

To try these methods one by one, Jiang Chengxuan did not remain confined to the library continuously.

He would emerge periodically.

He resembled an immortal elder, an alchemist, or a scholar, shedding the terrifying aura of Golden Immortal Perfection.

When Jiang Chengxuan first entered the path of cultivation, he trained in many arts and was familiar with these techniques.

But as his realm rose, fighting, cultivating, and conquest took center stage, and he gradually forgot these.

Now, picking them up again brought him a mysterious sensation, as if transcending time to return to the past, re-experiencing the mundane world and the breath of mortal life.

This was an extremely rare feeling.

It even made Jiang Chengxuan somewhat immersed, sensing his own transformation.

Both his Dao heart and his insight into the Dao slowly changed.

Jiang Chengxuan vaguely sensed that this might be one of the lessons the Great Luo Dao Scripture intended to teach him.

So he focused even more, spending almost every day with the scripture.

Even after a thousand years, he had only comprehended about half of its contents.

Time flew silently, leaving no trace.

Throughout the Ancient Realm, everyone gradually forgot Jiang Chengxuan’s existence.

Only Elder Yun Shi occasionally visited Haoran Immortal Sect and saw him once in a while.

During the rest of the time, Jiang Chengxuan seemed half-dormant, no longer heard from.

Whether it was the emergence of various secret realms, Daoist scriptures manifesting, or Golden Immortal contests, he left no trace.

One by one, incredibly powerful supreme beings in the past had been forgotten in this way.

Jiang Chengxuan was obviously no exception—he simply needed more time.

Yet Jiang Chengxuan did not care about these so-called reputations.

Those treasures no longer mattered to him.

Haoran Immortal Sect did not need his intervention and naturally responded accordingly.

He only continued to study the Great Luo Dao Scripture in the library, regaining past insights.

What was even more mysterious was that the more Jiang Chengxuan delved into the scripture, the stronger the sense of familiarity became.

He could not help but wonder when and where its owner had had some connection with him.

But the answer was none.

The entity praised by the system as an unsurpassed existence had no interaction with Jiang Chengxuan, and even the Dao methods he learned bore no relation.

“Perhaps this is simply due to the system’s influence.”

Jiang Chengxuan could only let go of seeking clues and attributed the familiarity to the system’s power.

Perhaps it was the system that allowed him to comprehend this scripture.

No matter what, the system was absolutely loyal to Jiang Chengxuan and would never harm him.

With this thought, Jiang Chengxuan continued to study the Great Luo Dao Scripture day after day.

Meanwhile, within Haoran Immortal Sect, in the role of a bystander, he quietly observed the cultivation of countless disciples and followers.

At the same time, he recalled his past and reembraced the breath of mortal life, shaping in his heart the true Great Luo Dao.
