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

Chapter 1482: Source of the Mutation, Turmoil Arises (Part 1) Chapter 1482: Source of the Mutation, Turmoil Arises (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations The already somber and oppressive atmosphere within the grand hall grew even heavier after Ming Shan Elder’s words.

A tense silence lingered between the two Earth Immortal-level figures, both lost in their own thoughts.

Finally, after a long pause, Futian Patriarch broke the silence, his voice laced with unease.

“ThenaEUR| Elder Ming Shan, what clues have you discovered?” His gaze toward the elder carried a trace of apprehension.

He was unsure whether these strange occurrences were the result of actions targeting the Minghe Immortal Sect.

If that were the case, he and those under the sect’s dominion would need to tread carefully to avoid becoming mere pawns in a larger conflict.

Though he had betrayed his former master and joined the Minghe Immortal Sect, it was a matter of survival, not loyalty.

If a more formidable power sought to challenge the Minghe Immortal Sect, he had no intention of sacrificing himself in their defense.

Ming Shan Elder seemed to catch the undertone of his words and let out a cold chuckle.

His piercing gaze swept over Futian Patriarch, making the latter feel a chill run down his spine before the elder finally spoke.

“It’s not just the Minghe Immortal Sect.

Many regions and sects across the Xuanming Immortal Realm have reported similar anomalies.” “The entire Xuanming Immortal Realm?” Futian Patriarch’s eyes widened in shock, and he drew a sharp breath.

The Xuanming Immortal Realm was vast beyond measure.

For something to affect the entire realm, could it be the onset of another great calamity?

A shiver ran through him at the thought.

Even though he had ascended to the Earth Immortal level through a fortuitous combination of opportunities during the last calamity, the terror of those events remained deeply etched in his heart.

He knew that Earth Immortals were far from invincible in the face of such cataclysms.

Many Earth Immortals had perished during the great calamity, paving the way for him to rise to his current position.

The very idea of another calamity filled him with dread.

As Futian Patriarch wrestled with his thoughts, Ming Shan Elder abruptly turned and gestured.

A shimmering spatial portal materialized in the hall, dark and foreboding.

Without waiting for a response, the elder stepped through the portal.

Futian Patriarch hesitated briefly before gritting his teeth and following.

Despite his apprehensions, he understood that they were in the same boataEUR”for now.

The spatial ripple hummed as silver light danced across the portal.

In the blink of an eye, the two emerged into a new space.

What unfolded before Futian Patriarch’s eyes left him utterly stunned.

Before him stood a long, exquisite jade table, surrounded by ten figures radiating immense auras.

Each one was unmistakably an Earth Immortal.

“Ten Earth ImmortalsaEUR|” Futian Patriarch’s breath caught as he realized the significance of this gathering.

This assembly represented nearly half of the known Earth Immortals in Zhongzhou.

Such a force was capable of sweeping through the entire Xuanming Immortal Realm.

What kind of crisis could warrant the gathering of such titanic figures?

Even during the great calamity, there had never been such unity among them.

He quickly recognized several of the seated figures: the patriarch of the Ziwei Immortal Sect, the patriarch of the White Dragon Immortal Sect, and the patriarch of the Undying Immortal Sect, all of whom were legendary figures in their own right.

With the addition of Ming Shan Elder, himself, and Futian Patriarch, there were now twelve Earth Immortals present.

One of the seated figures, another elder of the Minghe Immortal Sect, turned toward Futian Patriarch as he entered.

“Futian?

So, your sect is experiencing issues as well?” All eyes turned to Futian Patriarch, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and skepticism.

His reputation as a ruthless and treacherous figure had spread far and wide, and many in the room regarded him with disdain.

If not for the strange phenomena currently affecting their domains, they would never have willingly associated with him.

Futian Patriarch composed himself and nodded cautiously.

“Yes, my sect’s sacred ground, the Ten Thousand Cliffs Abyss, has suffered some anomalies.” He hesitated briefly before taking a seat at the table.

His eyes darted toward Ming Shan Elder, who gave him a subtle nod, signaling for him to remain quiet for now.

The Minghe Elder who had spoken first nodded and addressed the room.

“It seems the signs of collapseaEUR”the so-called ‘Falling of the Sacred’aEUR”continue to spread.” The room fell silent as the patriarch of the Ziwei Immortal Sect, his expression grave, broke the silence.

“This phenomenon has affected numerous sects, yet there seems to be no discernible cause?” His gaze swept across the room.

“Since we are all here, let us speak freely.

There is no point in holding anything back now.” It was evident that all the sects represented in the room had experienced similar incidents.

Their sacred grounds and treasured lands had begun to collapse inexplicably.

The phenomenon showed no pattern, with some occurrences dating back hundreds of years and others, like the Futian Immortal Sect’s incident, happening only yesterday.

Despite extensive investigations, no answers had been found.

The gathered Earth Immortals had set aside their rivalries to convene, desperate to understand the root of this mystery amidst the ongoing chaos.

A cold voice echoed from another corner of the hall.

“If I had the answers, do you think I’d be sitting here?

I’d have resolved it already.” The irritated outburst deepened the tension in the room, leaving the other Earth Immortals in uneasy silence.

Many had come hoping to gain insight, yet the lack of concrete information only fueled their frustrations.

After a long pause, one of the more composed Earth Immortals finally spoke.

“At the very least, we can confirm one thingaEUR”this phenomenon is not the work of any individual or faction.

It appears to be a natural anomaly tied to the heavens and earth.” His calm tone drew the attention of the room, and a few nodded in agreement, though unease still lingered.
