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

Chapter 1501: Before the Grand Ceremony, A Mysterious Visitor_2 Chapter 1501: Before the Grand Ceremony, A Mysterious Visitor_2 Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Chengxuan began the meeting with a direct and solemn tone, breaking the silence in the grand hall.

The first item on the agenda was rewarding the elders and disciples for their contributions during the sect’s recent tribulations.

Though defending the sect was their duty, Jiang Chengxuan believed that their efforts and sacrifices deserved recognition.

Even the allied sects that came to their aid had been rewarded with substantial resources from Central State.

To neglect rewarding his own disciples and elders would only foster resentment.

“We owe our current achievements entirely to the grace of the Patriarch.

We shall never forget this!” “We swear to defend the sect to our deaths.

Even if we fall, it will be the noblest end we could hope for!” Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s praise, the elders were overwhelmed, their faces glowing with excitement.

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and continued, “Your loyalty is evident to all, but rewards for merit are equally important in maintaining harmony within the sect.” “For this battle, every participating elder and disciple shall receive a reward!” He immediately outlined the standards for the rewards, which varied based on cultivation level, contributions during the battle, and injuries sustained.

Those who had been wounded received even more generous compensation.

With the vast resources gained from the assimilated sects of Central State, the rewards exceeded expectations, bringing immense joy to the recipients.

Even those who had grown accustomed to scarcity felt as though a windfall had descended upon them.

Jiang Chengxuan spared no expense, distributing the majority of the acquired resources to pave the way for the sect’s future.

By the end of his speech, the elders were even more devoted, standing to bow deeply toward Jiang Chengxuan in unison.

“That concludes the first matter of discussion,” Jiang Chengxuan said.

“The second concerns the appointment of supervisory elders for the newly integrated sects in Central State.

“If any of you have recommendations or wish to volunteer, speak freely.

As long as the reasons are sound, they will be considered.” The elders and Jiang Chengxuan then deliberated on the management of the absorbed sects.

With the alliance having swallowed multiple Earth Immortal-level factions, its power had expanded to an unprecedented level, necessitating a large number of core elders to oversee the new territories.

Jiang Chengxuan allowed them to select candidates themselves, avoiding excessive centralization of power.

After finalizing the appointments, he moved on to the selection of new elders for the alliance.

The recent expansion required at least several hundred additional elders to cover the governance of the enlarged territory.

Even in this matter, Jiang Chengxuan refrained from personally appointing candidates, sending a clear message: he had no intention of becoming a dictator, even as a Celestial Immortal.

The Rogue Cultivator Alliance was to remain an organization for all rogue cultivators, governed collectively.

This ethos extended to the selection of new elders, where Jiang Chengxuan relinquished direct control.

The perceptive among the elders understood this signal and, moved by his humility, felt a deep sense of responsibility.

Avoiding any misuse of power, they committed to selecting the most suitable candidates.

Though the chosen individuals might not be perfect, they would be the best fit for the current circumstances.

Finally, attention turned to preparations for the Celestial Immortal Grand Ceremony.

Given that a Celestial Immortal had not appeared in the Xuanming Immortal Domain for millennia, planning such a historic event required considerable effort.

The ceremony would involve intricate rituals, including offerings, blessings, and communion with the heavens.

Other logistical considerations included accommodating the attending cultivators and managing the reception of congratulatory gifts.

These details had to be meticulously planned and executed.

Meanwhile, across the Xuanming Immortal Domain, the impending grand ceremony created a unique atmosphere.

Not just Central and Western Continents, but all regions of the domain were drawn into the event.

Even those indifferent to the concept of a Celestial Immortal felt compelled to attend, if only to maintain favor with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance or seize potential opportunities.

For many sects, gaining Jiang Chengxuan’s recognition or establishing ties with the alliance’s elders represented unparalleled chances for growth.

Conversely, rival sects sought to sabotage their enemies’ chances of securing these opportunities, adding layers of intrigue and competition to the proceedings.

This grand ceremony had become a matter of significance for all powers in the domain, sparking widespread preparation.

Even the chaos caused by the domain’s recent calamity came to an abrupt halt as the event took precedence.

All wars ceased, and instead of conflict, cultivators focused on preparing gifts, ensuring they were grand enough to gain Jiang Chengxuan’s notice.

Although Jiang Chengxuan had not explicitly demanded gifts, the act was a long-standing tradition.

For most sects, this was their chance to stand out.

As the hundred-day countdown continued, the feverish anticipation for the grand ceremony only grew.

Disciples and sect leaders alike began their journeys to Central State, creating vast caravans of cultivators heading toward the event.

However, in a secluded, little-known secret realm within Central State, an unusual group of visitors appeared through a shimmering spatial portal.

“So, the Xuanming Immortal Domain has birthed another Celestial Immortal,” one of the three figures, clad in white cloaks, murmured as they floated in the void.

Their forms were shrouded in an ethereal aura, blending seamlessly with the heavens and earth, as though they were phantoms.

If Jiang Chengxuan had been present, he would have been shocked to discover that the energy emanating from these figures was identical to celestial source energy!

“It seems this place recently endured a calamity,” another figure replied, pulling back his hood to reveal a youthful, strikingly handsome face.

Despite his youthful appearance, the ancient wisdom in his eyes revealed the weight of countless eras and a profound understanding of the world’s laws.

“How convenient,” the third figure said with a soft laugh, his voice calm yet piercing.

“This Celestial Immortal is hosting a grand ceremonyaEUR”a perfect chance for us to meet him.” Without hesitation, the trio stepped forward, vanishing silently before reappearing above Central State, high in the Nine Heavens.

Gazing down at the mortal world, their eyes were filled with a mixture of nostalgia and curiosity.

“The Xuanming Immortal Domain has changed so muchaEUR| and yet, some things remain the same.” “Indeed.

How peculiar that the Western Continent should rise to prominence.

I’m quite curious about this young Celestial Immortal,” one of them mused, their tone light and unhurried.

The three continued to converse casually, their demeanor devoid of reverence or fear.

Despite Jiang Chengxuan’s newfound status, they referred to him merely as “that young man,” with an air of detached amusement.
