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

Chapter 773: Final Item, Tribulation Transcending

Treasure

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing the name “Tribulation Transcending Treasure,” Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and many other cultivators who were unaware of such information, were all visibly shaken.

“Tribulation Transcending Treasure? It’s actually a Tribulation Transcending Treasure!”

Many faces revealed excitement.

Clearly, everyone understood just how rare and precious a Tribulation Transcending Treasure was in the Spiritual World.

It’s something that every Void Returning cultivator desperately needed.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that sometimes, a Tribulation Transcending Treasure could mean the difference between life and death.

After all, not every Void Returning cultivator could confidently overcome every heavenly tribulation, making these treasures incredibly important.

“Everyone…”

The white-browed elder continued,

“For this auction’s finale, we have prepared three Tribulation Transcending Treasures.

These three treasures will be auctioned off in three separate rounds.

So.

If you’re lucky enough, you still have a fairly good chance.”

As he spoke, the elder took out a crimson-colored jade stone and continued,

“Many of you may recognize this first Tribulation Transcending Treasure. It’s the commonly used Red Cloud Crystal, capable of helping cultivators in the Dharma Form stage and Celestial Radiance stage withstand one heavenly tribulation.

Of course, this is under the assumption that you haven’t used it before.”

In the Spiritual World, any Tribulation Transcending Treasure could only be used once.

For instance, if you had previously used the Red Cloud Crystal to withstand a heavenly tribulation, you could not use it again for the next tribulation.

Even if you did, it would have no effect.

You must find a different Tribulation Transcending Treasure to withstand the next tribulation.

Naturally, many think, “If I can keep finding different Tribulation Transcending Treasures, can I avoid the tribulation indefinitely and live forever?”

Yes.

In theory, that was right.

But the problem was, how rare were Tribulation Transcending Treasures?

What made you think you could keep finding different ones?

For ordinary Void Returning cultivators, obtaining one Tribulation Transcending Treasure in their lifetime was already quite an achievement. Hoping for a second, third, or even more?

That was unllikely.

It did not make sense either.

Even if you belonged to a super sect or an overlord sect, it’s impossible to continuously obtain Tribulation Transcending Treasures.

It was already very impressive to have three or four.

So.

When the white-browed elder presented the first Tribulation Transcending Treasure, the Red Cloud Crystal, it immediately sparked a bidding war among all attendees.

Even though it’s a relatively common Tribulation Transcending Treasure, the competition was fierce.

“3,000 Heavenly Crystals!

“4,000 Heavenly Crystals!”

“5,000 Heavenly Crystals!”

“6,000 Heavenly Crystals!”

In just a short moment, the price of the Red Cloud Crystal was raised to 6,000 Heavenly Crystals, and it continued to climb rapidly.

“7,000 Heavenly Crystals!”

“8,000 Heavenly Crystals!”

“9,000 Heavenly Crystals!”

In no time, the price of the Red Cloud Crystal reached 9,000 Heavenly Crystals.

It was only at this point that the bidding started to slow down.

Eventually, a cultivator in the Celestial Radiance stage secured the Red Cloud Crystal for 9,700 Heavenly Crystals.

When the second Tribulation Transcending Treasure was introduced, the atmosphere became even more intense.

This was a relatively rare and precious treasure known as the Azure Mystery Pearl, which sold for 14,000 Heavenly Crystals.

The final Tribulation Transcending Treasure, named the Tribulation Severing Finger, resembling a human finger bone, fetched an even higher price of 23,000 Heavenly Crystals—more than double the starting bid of the Red Cloud Crystal.

With this, the auction came to a close.

Though Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not purchase anything, the experience and insight they gained from attending were invaluable.

Leaving the auction, they headed to the location of the ongoing Dao Discussion Conference, which was held back-to-back with the auction.

So.

By the time Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan arrived at the Dao Discussion Conference, it had just begun.

The conference was divided into several areas, with the highest being reserved for Void Returning cultivators like themselves.

Next was the area for cultivators in Soul Formation, followed by areas for cultivators below Soul Formation.

At this moment.

At the Dao Discussion Conference, a Seethrough stage powerhouse from the Divine Shadow Gate was elucidating his insights on cultivation and the Dao.

His discourse, though not overly specific, provided Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan with illuminating concepts and perspectives.

The conference featured not just one or two speakers but included several Seethrough stage powerhouses from various forces, each sharing their knowledge.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were particularly intrigued by the discourse on the Dao of Cause and Effect.

This principle, as explained by one of the Seethrough speakers, permeated all of cultivation and the myriad worlds, representing an eternal and unchanging law.

A seed’s growth, flowering, and fruiting depend on various factors.

It could only achieve its final form when all these factors—soil, water, sunlight, energy—were present.

If any one of them was missing, it had the possibility of dying midway.

Similarly, a cultivator’s progress hinged on the accumulation of numerous positive causes.

Only when all kinds of good causes were on you would you have the possibility of advancing.

Furthermore, there were many changes.

Any change in cause could lead to many different outcomes.

In addition to the Dao of Cause and Effect, the speakers covered other Daos, including the Dao of Yin and Yang, the Dao of Slaughter, and the Dao of Life, among others.

After the conference, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan explored other areas of the Myriad Daos Immortal City.

Unbeknownst to them, as they were planning to leave the city, two cultivators arrived at the entrance of a luxurious cave abode.

As the door opened, a man clad in a dark blue Daoist robe looked at the newcomers calmly.

The two cultivators bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Gui Ming.”

“Um.”

The man they called Senior Brother Gui Ming nodded.

“Why are you looking for me?”
