Chapter 1950: The Mysterious Elder, the Nine Mystical Sects (Part 1)

The Grand Selection of Haoran.

This was an event of utmost significance, not only to the Haoran Profound Sect, but to the entire Haoran Profound Realm.

Held once every three centuries, it was open to all young cultivators within the realm. Through rounds of rigorous trials and eliminations, ten individuals would ultimately be chosen—bestowed with the title of the Ten Chosen of Haoran.

From that mont onward, they would soar to greatness, receiving the full backing and cultivation resources of the entire Haoran Profound Sect.

Those who managed to claim this honor were all peerless talents among geniuses. Regardless of their background or status, every one of them had eventually beco a pillar of the Haoran Profound Sect.

Thus, when this round of the Grand Selection comnced, it stirred the entire Ancient Domain of Haoran.

Millions of young cultivators flocked to the Selection Immortal City, each striving to seize a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity that could lead them to the heavens.

Among them were both naless wanderers from the broader Haoran Profound Realm and elite disciples from the main sect itself.

In each bout, new stars rose. So shocked the world by erging from obscurity; others upheld their prestigious reputations, sweeping through all challengers with invincible might.

With such fierce competition, new nas of extraordinary talents would resound through the realm almost daily—causing endless discussions and excitent across the land.

Amid all this, Jiang Chengxuan, his identity concealed, was quietly wandering from one immortal city to another across the Haoran Profound Realm.

He resembled a roving cultivator, observing scenes of joy and sorrow, rise and fall, as they played out in the mortal world.

This was the way of the cultivation world—full of human drama. In every era, soone would rise to prominence, while others were buried in obscurity. So surrendered to fate, while others defied it and rose against all odds.

“So this is the path of cultivation… Life and death, survival and demise—often decided in a single mont, a single thought.”

Walking along a forest path in the most ordinary of manners, Jiang Chengxuan murmured softly to himself.

Lifting the gourd at his waist, a faint wisp of immortal energy curled out as he took a drink.

It had been two thousand five hundred years since he acquired the Great Luo Dao Canon.

Soti during the second millennium, Jiang Chengxuan had left the Scripture Repository and begun wandering the mortal realm while comprehending the Dao Canon and gaining insights into the Great Dao.

He no longer needed to cross-reference ancient texts. He could now read and understand the contents of the Dao Canon on his own.

During these millennia, although he had done little in the way of conventional cultivation, he could clearly feel his realm steadily rising.

With the help of the Dao Canon, he had gained new divine arts and techniques. Both his physical body and spiritual form had beco increasingly refined—approaching flawlessness.

Even though roughly ten percent of the Canon remained uncomprehended, Jiang Chengxuan was already confident that he had what it took to break through to the Great Luo Realm. He could attempt it at any ti.

“Once I obtain the Mixed Primordial Stone, I can formally begin the breakthrough…”

Although he had focused primarily on Dao comprehension for the past two thousand years, it didn’t an he had neglected other preparations.

Following the guidance in the Great Luo Dao Canon, Jiang Chengxuan had refined pills that could aid in breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage. He had also gathered countless rare immortal materials—nearly everything he needed.

These thods were all previously unknown to him, not ntioned in any known ancient record. Yet the Dao Canon contained not just one, but multiple such thods, revealing just how extraordinary it truly was.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Chengxuan felt so confident in his upcoming breakthrough.

The final item he lacked was a treasure known as the Mixed Primordial Stone.

Strangely, this stone had no ntion in any other ancient texts regarding its utility in breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

And yet, the Great Luo Dao Canon provided thods to harness it during the breakthrough process.

This, in turn, proved sothing else—that the Dao Canon was likely even older and more profound than all other ancient scriptures.

Where had it co from?

Why did it feel so inexplicably familiar to him?

Jiang Chengxuan had pursued many clues, but none had led to an answer.

Regardless, his next destination had already been decided.

After waiting for a thousand years, news of the Mixed Primordial Stone had finally surfaced.

It had appeared in one of the realm’s most prominent auction houses.

The Thousand Treasure Domain.

The Nine Mystical Sects.

This was a dazzling gem of the Ancient Domain—a realm not fad for overwhelming power or endless resources, but known to nearly every cultivator in the Ancient World.

Within this Thousand Treasure Domain lay the so-called Nine Mystical Sects. Contrary to what one might assu, this was not a single sect, but rather a collective of nine sects.

Each of these nine possessed an incredibly mysterious inheritance.

Through arcane thods like divination, intuition, foresight, and uncanny premonitions, they could predict the appearance of rare treasures and secret realms.

In the past, this ability had nearly led to their extinction.

There wasn’t a single force that did not covet such a gift. As the saying goes, “A man’s wealth is his own undoing.”

During their early years, the nine sects each fell into endless cycles of calamity and karmic retribution due to the fateful encounters they discovered. They lived constantly in turmoil and fear.

But in every generation, each of the nine sects would eventually produce a prodigious figure of unimaginable might.

Through incredible ans, these figures sought out the others—and discovered, to their astonishnt, that others shared their origin and legacy.

Thus, the nine sects united, forming a powerful alliance now known as the Nine Mystical Sects.

Only then did they finally secure a firm foothold in the Ancient Domain.

Utilizing their treasure-seeking arts to accumulate resources, they rose to power and beca dominant, no longer fearing the greed and jealousy of other immortal sects.

Later, in order to ensure their continued prosperity and security, the Nine Mystical Sects established one of the largest auction houses in the entire Ancient Domain.

Through this platform, they distributed the opportunities and treasures they discovered—forming connections with powerful forces across the realm.

In the Nine Mystical Auction House, you could obtain virtually anything you desired—immortal treasures, rare materials, or priceless resources.
