Chapter 1

The End Is Coming, Activating the Cheat System

Let’s settle down here.

An old man with white hair and a hunched back appeared in a rather prosperous city.

This was Autumn Leaf City under the jurisdiction of Heyang County.

It was the city with the best environment among the several mortal cities under Heyang County.

It was also one of the most artistic cities.

The old man, Jiang Chengxuan, looked at the enormous mansion in front of him and suddenly sighed softly.

From now on, let me stay and slowly die here.

While he was thinking, Jiang Chengxuan had already walked into the mansion.

There were no servants or maids.

Before Jiang Chengxuan bought this house, he had already made it clear to the owner that he didn’t want anyone to serve him.

It was also his own request.

Since he only had a year or two left to live, Jiang Chengxuan only wanted to finish this journey quietly and not be disturbed by anyone.

Nor did he want his arrival to alarm the mortals here.

Yes.

Jiang Chengxuan was not an ordinary person.

Instead, he was a true cultivator.

A hundred years ago, due to an accident, he transmigrated to this place called the Nine Essences Immortal Cultivation World.

By chance, he obtained the cultivation inheritance of a Qi Refinement cultivator.

He originally thought that he could start his cultivation journey smoothly and become an immortal.

He thought that there would be all kinds of treasures and beauties surrounding him.

Unexpectedly, reality played a big joke on him.

There was no System to help him, nor were there any artifacts.

Most importantly, his cultivation aptitude was the lowest-grade, the False Spiritual Roots.

The speed of his cultivation was like a snail crawling.

In addition, he was a person who was afraid of death and did not dare to confront others, let alone compete with others for opportunities.

Therefore, after a hundred years, his cultivation level had only reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

He had not even reached the ninth level of Qi Refinement, which was the perfected realm of Qi Refinement.

Most importantly, the reason why he could have reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement was because he was lucky and obtained an opportunity for no reason.

If not for that, he would probably still be at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refinement.

One could imagine that with him like this, not to mention breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, the Violet Palace Realm, and the Golden Core Realm,

Even before his death, it was impossible for him to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

Therefore, Jiang Chengxuan did not have ambitions for anything else now. He just wanted to spend the last year or two in peace.

After walking around the entire mansion, Jiang Chengxuan chose the largest room in the middle courtyard as his bedroom.

Just like that.

Jiang Chengxuan lived in this mansion for half a year.

On this day.

He suddenly felt his body weaken.

Then, the qi and blood in his body began to dry up.

The True Essence in his body also began to quickly deplete until it was like that of a dry river.

Compared to before, he was noticeably emaciated and hunched.

Every step he took seemed to consume a lot of his strength.

He couldn’t help but sigh with a shake of his head.

With his current condition, not to mention living for another year or two, he might not even be able to live to see the sun rising tomorrow.

Sigh.

Forget it.

No matter what, I had lived for more than a hundred years.

Compared to those who died before the age of 50, he was much luckier.

He really could not ask for more.

Just as Jiang Chengxuan was comforting himself and was about to wait quietly for his life to end, a robotic electronic voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has achieved a hundred years of cultivation. The achievement system is therefore activated.]

What?

Jiang Chengxuan was stunned.

Was he hallucinating? Or was it really the System Daddy?

In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan had a mixed feeling that he couldn’t describe.

As an Cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, he was actually certain that the voice just now was not an hallucination, but a real system notification.

But so what?

He was about to die anyway.

Even if the cheat system came, he wouldn’t have the luck to use it.

After all, he had clearly heard just now that the system that was activated was not a sign-in system, or a lottery system, but an achievement system.

As the name suggested, if he wanted to obtain anything from the system, he had to achieve something.

Just like what the system said just now about a hundred years of cultivation achievement.

He achieved it and accidentally activated the system.

What about the reward?

What is the use of activating you if you don’t give me a reward?

Ding!

As if hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s thoughts, a system notification sounded in his mind again.

[Detected that the host has achieved a hundred years of cultivation. You are specially rewarded with a life-extending fruit. Consume it to increase your lifespan by 60 years.]

“F*ck!”

Jiang Chengxuan burst out cursing uncontrollably.

There was really a reward?

Moreover, it was an item that he urgently needed to extend his life.

What was more, it could extend his lifespan by 60 years.

Hurry up! Where is the life-extending fruit?

Jiang Chengxuan quickly called out to the system in his mind.

This was because at this moment, he could clearly feel his life force flowing away.

Death was approaching bit by bit.

If this happened in the past, he wouldn’t be anxious.

Anyway, there was no hope. If he died, so be it.

However, it was different now. If he died as soon as he found new hope, it would be too tragic.

After all, if there was a way to live, who would want to die?

Just as he was feeling anxious, Jiang Chengxuan saw an orange fruit suddenly appear in his hand.

Then, a string of words appeared in his mind.

[Life-extending Fruit: Eating it can increase one’s lifespan by 60 years. It’s also one of the main ingredients for refining life-extending pills.]

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t care less about refining pills.

He was about to die. It would be really stupid to think about those useless things.

Therefore, without wasting a second, he finished the fruit in a few mouthfuls.

BOOM!

In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan felt a new vitality suddenly replenishing his crumbling body.

This vitality was extremely abundant.

In just an instant, it covered his entire body, making his hunched body straight again.

His white hair turned black again.

His face emitted a healthy glow.

In just a moment.

Jiang Chengxuan went from an old and weak old man to a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

The life force that he lost also came back, fresh and new.

With this body, if Jiang Chengxuan had the cultivation of the perfected Qi Refinement realm, he could absolutely try to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Unfortunately, he was not there yet.

However, no matter what, to Jiang Chengxuan, being able to regain 60 years of life was already a lot.

Most importantly, now, he had a cheat system to fall back on.
