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

Arrival in Canyon City

Shen Ruyan clearly did not expect Jiang Chengxuan to say that. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but be surprised at first. Then, she smiled and nodded.

“Elder Jiang, you are right. In that case, let’s not delay any longer.”

Initially, she wanted Jiang Chengxuan to make some preparations.

However, since Jiang Chengxuan said so, she was more than happy to agree.

Moreover, she felt that what Jiang Chengxuan said made sense.

The longer they waited, the more variables there would be.

If something really happened that even they could not solve, things would really be serious.

Therefore.

After Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan accepted that mission together, without lingering, they left the Mission Hall and flew out of the Shen Immortal family.

It was about ten thousand miles from the Shen Immortal family to Canyon City.

In less than half a day, the two of them arrived in the sky above Canyon City.

However, as soon as the two of them arrived, they saw dozens of Level 1 demon beasts attacking the protective array.

Although the attacks of these Level 1 demon beasts could not cause any substantial damage to the low-grade Level 2 defensive array.

However, in the long run, it would be a huge burden on the Qi Refinement cultivators in the city.

After all, maintaining such a low-grade Level 2 defensive array required a lot of energy and resources.

Once their True Essence was exhausted, or the spirit stones in the city were used up, this Level 2 defensive array would crumble in no time.

Most importantly, in the face of such a situation, they could not counterattack at all.

Not to mention whether the Qi Refinement Realm cultivators in the city could deal with the siege of dozens of Level 1 demon beasts,

Even if they could, once they left the city, the Level 2 demon beasts lurking in the dark might launch a sneak attack on them.

At that time, none of the Qi Refinement cultivators outside could return alive.

After understanding the urgency of the situation, a trace of coldness flashed across Shen Ruyan’s eyes.

Without a word, she pointed her slender fingers down.

In an instant, silver-white lightning struck.

Boom, boom, boom!

It was like a cannonball razing the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the dozens of Level 1 demon beasts that were originally besieging Canyon City instantly turned into charcoal.

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed.

Lightning spell!

He really did not expect Shen Ruyan, who looked unharmful, to master such a domineering spell.

As everyone knew, lightning spells were the most powerful among all the spells. It was also the most difficult to cultivate and master.

Without an extraordinary aptitude or a constitution suitable for practicing lightning spells, it was quite difficult for ordinary people to cultivate lightning spells to Shen Ruyan’s level.

As if knowing that Jiang Chengxuan had questions to ask, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but turn to look at him and explain.

“That was the Shen family’s Level 2 Lightning Falling Spell just now. Because I have a lightning spiritual root, I’m good with lightning spells. I can cast it immediately without needing to form it.”

Lightening Spiritual Root?

Jiang Chengxuan really did not expect Shen Ruyan’s spiritual root to be a lightning spiritual root.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator’s spiritual root was usually of the five elements.

The difference was the ratio of the five attributes.

Spiritual root with a single element was called a heavenly spiritual root.

It was an excellent aptitude for cultivation.

However, other than that, there would also be some spiritual roots outside the domain of the five elements.

For example, Shen Ruyan’s lightning spiritual root, wind spiritual root, ice spiritual root, and so on.

These spiritual roots that were not of the five elements were collectively called mutant spiritual roots.

Cultivators with such spiritual roots were second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Root in terms of cultivation potential.

Most of them could successfully cultivate all the way to the Violet Palace Realm.

If they had a huge opportunity, great perseverance, and great comprehension, they would have a high chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm.

At this moment, the cultivators in the city had already noticed Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan in the air. They immediately shouted excitedly.

“It’s Foundation Establishment Realm seniors from the Shen family!”

“The Shen family really sent people to help us!”

“Quick, lift the array!”

…

Hearing the cheers of the people in the city below, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were in the sky above Canyon City, were not in a hurry to enter the city.

At this moment, they were all looking into the distance outside the city.

There, they sensed the aura of a Level 2 demon beast.

However, after thinking for a moment, they chose not to fly over immediately. Instead, they flew into Canyon City together.

The City Lord of Canyon City, Shen Chuanhai, immediately led a group of Qi Refinement cultivators over.

This person was appointed to guard the city by the Shen Immortal family.

He was already 76 years old and had a cultivation at the perfected stage of Qi Refinement. Clearly, he had no hope of advancing on the path of the Dao.

At this moment, he said enthusiastically but respectfully,

“Elders, thank you for helping us deal with the demon beasts outside the city just now.

You must be travel-worn. Why don’t you come to my mansion to rest for a while?”

Hearing his words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had no objections.

Soon, the group arrived at his residence in Canyon City.

After the people in the mansion brought over snacks and spiritual tea, Shen Ruyan turned to look at Shen Chuanhai.

“City Lord Chuanhai, tell us in detail what exactly is going on.

By the way, my name is Shen Ruyan. You can call me Elder Ruyan.”

As for the person beside me, he’s the Shen family’s guest elder, Jiang Chengxuan. You can call him Elder Jiang.”

As she spoke, Shen Ruyan picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip.

Shen Chuanhai immediately told the two of them about the current situation in Canyon City.

The situation was similar to what the two of them already knew.

However, there was something that attracted the attention of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Last night, dozens of kilometers away from Canyon City, a soaring spiritual light appeared and lasted for about five minutes.

During these five minutes, there seemed to be a commotion among the demon beasts in the distance.

Shen Chuanhai and the cultivators in Canyon City did not know what was going on.

However, this morning, dozens of Level 1 demon beasts began to attack Canyon City until they were eradicated by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were also confused by this phenomenan.

However, they instinctively felt that the reason why demon beasts above Level 2 appeared here this time might be related to the abnormal phenomenon last night.

At the thought of this, Shen Ruyan immediately turned to Jiang Chengxuan and said, “Elder Jiang, why don’t we go to that place to take a look tonight?”

Just as Jiang Chengxuan was about to answer, someone suddenly rushed in with a flustered expression.

“Not… not good!

Those, those demon beasts, they, they, they, they, they came again!

So many, so many of them!”
