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

Chapter 1068: Jiang Chengxuan’s Suggestion, Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate
Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chengxuan’s pointed question sent shockwaves through all the cultivators present, leaving them deeply shaken, their expressions complex.

Before the disaster fully struck, who among them could truly say they were ready to give their all?

Most sects still expected the major sects to handle the crisis, hoping to merely follow along and protect themselves.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang is right,” Daolord Pantheon spoke up gravely. “This great calamity is extraordinary. If anyone here is not prepared to fight with everything they have, then our so-called alliance is nothing but loose sand.”

Daolord Pantheon was fully aware of the dire nature of the calamity, understanding the sinister forces behind these mysterious disappearances—a Demonic Immortal from the Immortal Realm had infiltrated the lower realm.

Having experienced the terror of an immortal being during the collapse of an Immortal cave abode, even he felt uneasy.

Thus, Jiang Chengxuan, who had safely returned from the Immortal cave abode, was now the focus of their expectations. They sensed that he had gained some formidable power from the Immortal cave abode, possibly even an ancient Immortal’s legacy.

Naturally, they agreed to nominate Jiang Chengxuan as their spokesperson.

After a fierce internal struggle, the various sect leaders made up their minds. Standing up solemnly, they said.

“Master Jiang, we, the Clear Moon Sect, understand and will spare no effort in overcoming this calamity.”

“My Wu Xin Sect will also follow Master Jiang’s lead from now on!”

“My Wind and Cloud Sect will obey Master Jiang’s commands to survive this cataclysm!”

One by one, the sects made their pledges or chose to follow, signaling their willingness to have the Haoran Sect lead them through this calamity.

This sudden surge of pledges caught even Jiang Chengxuan by surprise. Initially, he had merely wanted to boost morale and encourage transparency, not expecting to be propelled into a leadership role.

Shen Feng glanced at Daolord Pantheon, who nodded back, encouraging him. This shift was largely driven by Daolord Pantheon’s initial acknowledgment of Jiang Chengxuan’s Mahayana achievement, which had significantly bolstered Haoran Sect’s prestige.

Then, by agreeing with Jiang Chengxuan’s speech and signaling Pantheon Sect’s support for Haoran Sect, he had guided the others’ judgments.

“Command is too strong a word. But my Haoran Sect will do everything within our power to lead us through this calamity,” Jiang Chengxuan said, acknowledging the gravity of the situation, knowing that managing it would require everyone’s cooperation.

Seeing Jiang accept the role without shirking made the other leaders visibly relieved.

“Haoran Sect’s profound sense of duty is noted by us all!”

“Master Jiang, if you have any commands, just say the word. The fate of the Floodgate Realm rests on you now!”

Once Jiang Chengxuan responded, the assembly eagerly seized the moment to express their reliance on him.

The pressure was immense, but Jiang Chengxuan remained composed.

After a tense wait, he finally spoke, detailing his long-considered plan.

“Since there are no clues about the disappearances, we have no choice but to defy fate and uncover them ourselves.”

“We will set up the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate, led by me, pooling all the cultivators skilled in divination from across Floodgate Realm.”

This announcement sent another shock through the crowd. The Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate, a legendary array, might be unknown to some, but its requirement for the collaboration of all divination experts in Floodgate Realm spoke volumes of its power.

Those who recognized the name of the array were visibly shocked.

“The Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate! Is it not the most powerful divination array in Floodgate Realm legends?”

“It is said that thousands of years ago, someone used this array to divine matters of the Immortal Realm, which inadvertently triggered a major calamity!”

Some ancient sect leaders slowly revealed these secrets. The array’s ability to divine Immortal matters using the power of the lower realms illustrated its terrifying potential.

“To lead such an array, one must have profound knowledge of Karma. Otherwise, it could lead to annihilation by the heavens, completely destroying one’s soul.”

“Throughout Floodgate Realm’s history, only two people have successfully completed this array…”

Despite its power, the array did not excite the crowd; instead, it raised concerns among them.

Being a Daolord was incredibly powerful, but divination was not necessarily linked to strength.

Even the strongest cultivator, unfamiliar with the forces of Karma, would be like a child in matters of divination.

However, faced with skepticism, Jiang Chengxuan remained firm:

“I am more familiar with this array than anyone here, and I am confident I can manage it.”

“If you doubt it, consider the vast resources required to set up the array. If we can’t gather them, all this talk is futile.”

“I do not wish to coerce anyone. The choice is yours to make.”

This assertive tone reignited discussions among the sect leaders, each reflecting on Jiang Chengxuan’s strong stance, struggling to grasp the situation.

“I, from Pantheon Sect, am willing to contribute both manpower and resources to set up the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate,” declared Daolord Pantheon, once again endorsing Jiang Chengxuan, his voice resonating like a great bell across the summit.

“Thunderclap Valley, too, will participate in setting up the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate, with Haoran Sect leading the effort,” announced Shen Ruyan, adding her support which solidified the commitment from her sect.
