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

Chapter 1640: Golden Immortal Ruins, The Treasure of the Golden Immortal (Part 1) Chapter 1640: Golden Immortal Ruins, The Treasure of the Golden Immortal (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations Upon stepping into the source of the ominous darkness and traversing the tunnel-like passageway, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan experienced an eerie sensationaEUR”almost as if they were on a leisurely stroll through the mountains.

The surroundings were silent and unassuming.

The rocky walls bore no traces of mystical energy, nor did the air carry the faintest whisper of a breeze.

Everything was still, an unsettling tranquility filling the space.

It was this very sense of normalcy that made the situation all the more bizarre.

Logically, constructing a passageway leading to the Ancient Realm would require unfathomable techniques and poweraEUR”at the very least, something comparable to an immense teleportation array capable of bridging two Immortal Domains.

Yet, here, there was not even the faintest trace of spatial energy.

The existence of this path felt as natural as if it had always been part of the world, which left Jiang Chengxuan profoundly unsettled and deeply awed.

Such an effortless return to simplicityaEUR”this was the true pinnacle of transcendent power, beyond mortal and immortal comprehension.

“Husband, I think we’re nearing the exit!” After what felt like an eternity, the passage finally brightened.

A dim yet distinct glow shimmered in the distance, prompting Shen Ruyan to exclaim in delight.

Jiang Chengxuan’s expression softened slightly as he nodded.

Fortunately, the tunnel had been straightforward, without any branching paths.

Otherwise, who knew what bizarre circumstances they might have encountered?

With the exit in sight, the two quickened their pace.

Passing through the final stretch, they emerged into a vast, open world.

What greeted them was an eerie yet tranquil expanse.

The sky was perpetually overcast, shrouded in a dim, ghostly glow.

A melancholic aura lingered in the air, as if this world were trapped within the remnants of old memories, blurred and steeped in sorrow.

“Is this the Forbidden Zone?

It’s unexpectedly peacefulaEUR|” Shen Ruyan’s beautiful eyes flickered with surprise.

She and Jiang Chengxuan had been prepared for immediate battle upon arrival, yet they found themselves faced with a calm and undisturbed landscape.

The contrast was so stark that even Jiang Chengxuan was momentarily taken aback, furrowing his brows in contemplation.

After all, his knowledge of the Ancient Forbidden Zone came solely from the fragmented memories of the Bodhi Lotus Lantern’s Master.

Back then, all he had seen was an endless battle against the ominous darkness.

He had no idea whether the Forbidden Zone was meant to be a land eternally veiled in darkness, crawling with sinister forces, or something else entirely.

“No danger for now is good.

But caution is always wise.

Let’s explore carefully first.” After some thought, Jiang Chengxuan turned to Shen Ruyan with a steady tone.

The tunnel behind them had already sealed shutaEUR”there was no turning back.

If they had indeed arrived at the wrong place, it was already too late to reconsider.

Rather than hesitating, they might as well uncover the truth of this land themselves.

Having made their decision, the two calmed their minds and began moving forward.

They restricted their divine senses, only extending them within a limited radius to remain vigilant without drawing unnecessary attention.

A Land of Unseen Forces As they ventured deeper, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan noticed an odd sensation in the air.

“The atmosphere here is strangeaEUR| There’s an emotion lingering in the airaEUR|” Though the scenery was nothing more than a simple mountain forest, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t shake the feeling that something unseen was attempting to affect them.

It was an inexplicable melancholyaEUR”ancient, heavy, and sorrowful.

It did not attack their souls, nor did it pose any direct threat.

Instead, it felt as though the very will of the land itself was subtly influencing their emotions.

“Hmm.

Many of the celestial plants and materials here are ones I’ve never seen before.” Meanwhile, Shen Ruyan had been collecting samples of local celestial herbs, only to discover that none of them matched any recorded in the ancient times she had studied.

“This proves something.” Jiang Chengxuan took her words as confirmation of his suspicions.

These unfamiliar materials indicated that this land was not part of the Mystic Bright Immortal Domain.

It likely did not belong to any known Immortal DomainaEUR”but rather to the Ancient Realm itself.

“A pityaEUR| Most of these materials have little value.” Shen Ruyan sighed in disappointment.

Despite the rarity of these materials, they lacked the potency or divine essence of true treasures.

Without dwelling on it further, the two focused on concealing their presence and proceeded towards a promising locationaEUR” A mountain range where celestial plants seemed to grow in abundance.

“If there’s any chance of finding valuable treasures or hidden legacies, it will be there.” A Battle Unfolds Just as they were carefully making their way through the forestaEUR” “BOOM!” A deafening explosion erupted in the distance, shaking the land.

Instantly, a radiant burst of multicolored light shot skyward, piercing the heavy clouds and stirring the winds!

“WhooshaEUR”!” A colossal storm surge forth, tearing through everything in its path.

Ancient trees were uprooted, and towering mountain peaks crumbled under the sheer force of the impact.

Blazing fragments scattered across the land, as if the very heavens were ignited.

“Someone is fighting!” Rather than panicking, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged knowing glances.

A sharp glimmer flickered in both of their eyes.

This was not an accidentaEUR”this was the sign of powerful beings clashing!
