Chapter 1116: The Post-Catastrophe Era and the New Leader of Haoran Sect
Editor: Henyee Translations
As Jiang Chengxuan and his comrades left the Eastern Sea, they parted ways, returning to their respective sects.
The news of the end of the Great Catastrophe spread throughout the Floodgate Realm, bringing tears of joy to countless cultivators.
The Catastrophe had displaced many, forcing them to live in the shadows.
Countless lives were lost, kingdoms were destroyed, and the remnants of their former lives were stripped away. But now, hope was rekindled. For those who survived, a new beginning was possible.
With the celestial lights from each sect gradually dimming and the treasures of the sects buried back in their foundations to stabilize their fortunes, the post-catastrophe era officially began.
Wanderers returned to rebuild their ravaged lands, giving life to new towns, blessed lands, and paradises from the ruins, like wild grass that refuses to be extinguished by fire.
At Jiang Chengxuan’s call, the high-ranking sects came together to aid the lesser sects in their reconstruction efforts.
Haoran Sect, under Jiang Chengxuan’s leadership, played a significant role in restoring environments and resources devastated by the Catastrophe.
This garnered them immense reverence, with people building temples and statues to honor them as divine beings.
Word spread among the sects about Jiang Chengxuan’s pivotal role in the battle. His name became synonymous with salvation.
In the current world of cultivators, Jiang Chengxuan was regarded as the mightiest figure. Consequently, Haoran Sect’s status soared, becoming the unrivaled leader of the Floodgate Realm.
Jiang Chengxuan had led Haoran Sect to unprecedented heights, making it the sacred land of the cultivation world. For a long period after the catastrophe, even the heirs of other sects couldn’t compare to an ordinary disciple of Haoran Sect.
This rapid expansion necessitated the growth of Haoran Sect’s domain. Upon hearing of Haoran Sect’s intention to expand, rather than resisting, other sects offered their territories to become Haoran Sect’s vassals.
In a few years, Haoran Sect had dominion over an entire region, even though Jiang Chengxuan restrained its expansion.
The size of Haoran Sect’s disciple base became unparalleled, prompting the creation of a new term in the Floodgate Realm: “Immortal Lord Level.” This tier was solely for Haoran Sect.
The rebuilding phase was lengthy, but under Jiang Chengxuan’s meticulous planning, everything proceeded orderly.
Occasional conflicts were swiftly resolved by Jiang Chengxuan, earning respect and maintaining harmony, ushering in a golden age for the Floodgate Realm that lasted a thousand years.
A millennium passed in the blink of an eye. On this particular day, the entire region under Haoran Sect’s control was immersed in celebration.
Streets and houses were adorned with red banners, and cultivators from far and wide gathered, creating a scene of bustling joy.
All this was because today was the day Haoran Sect would inaugurate its new leader. As the premier sect in the cultivation world, this news shook the entire Floodgate Realm.
Cultivators from all directions came to witness the event, causing congestion even in the skies.
On a high platform within Haoran Sect, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Qin Shenwu stood together, awaiting the commencement of the ceremony.
Today’s protagonist was not one of them but Jiang Anran, dressed in splendid robes, ready to assume the mantle of leadership.
After a thousand years of rigorous training under Jiang Chengxuan, Jiang Anran had reached the Dao Master realm, standing shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Chengxuan at his prime.
Representatives from all sects in the Floodgate Realm had come to witness this event, far surpassing the crowd that attended Jiang Chengxuan’s own succession.
This was largely due to Jiang Chengxuan’s influence. As his disciple, Jiang Anran commanded immense respect and envy. Known as the luckiest cultivator in the Floodgate Realm, she rapidly advanced in her cultivation, guided by both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“The auspicious time has arrived. Let the ceremony begin!” A Haoran Sect elder announced, officially starting the succession ceremony.
The scenes were familiar but with a new twist—Jiang Chengxuan himself was passing the leadership. When he brought out the sect leader’s token, a brilliant celestial light erupted from Haoran Sect, enveloping the entire continent.
Auspicious beasts appeared, flying and prancing, vividly alive in the sky.
The sight left all cultivators in awe, reaffirming Jiang Chengxuan’s legendary status.
The achievements under his leadership were unprecedented, filling him with pride.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Shenwu, standing beside him, couldn’t help but tear up, reminiscing the journey they had undertaken. The moments of bringing Zhao Tianfan to Cloud Mist Peak to meet Jiang Chengxuan felt like yesterday. The memories of passing the sect leader’s position to Jiang Chengxuan were still fresh, as if they had just happened.
Behind Qin Shenwu, elders of Haoran Sect like Leng Yuehua, Xie Xiangyao, and Zhao Tianfan had moist eyes, overwhelmed with emotions.
They had walked this path with Jiang Chengxuan, witnessing and contributing to Haoran Sect’s transformation.
As the ceremony unfolded, Jiang Anran ascended to her new role, under the watchful and admiring eyes of countless cultivators.
The legacy of Haoran Sect continued, stronger than ever, ready to face the future with renewed vigor.
