My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 260 Entering the Spirit Realm
Although You Longzi left the Jade Purity Immortal Sect,

However, he was not actually expelled from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect. He retained his status as a direct disciple of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and remained one of the Seven Jade Purity Masters.

His identity and status were not removed by the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

His arrival in the Southern Region to establish his power can only be considered a temporary departure from the mountain gate to cultivate and develop outside.

and,

The disciples of the Dragon Sky Sect he founded also practiced the methods of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

It is naturally an extension of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
He is one of our own.

Sects and forces similar to the Dragon Sky Sect are not uncommon in the Thirty-Six Domains.

Some disciples within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect were either weary of the monotonous daily life of cultivation, or felt their path to immortality was bleak, with no possibility of further advancement.
So he simply left the mountain gate, returned to his hometown, established his own power base, and lived out his days in peace, while also training some disciples to work for him.

Once a disciple demonstrates outstanding talent, they can be recommended to participate in the once-a-decade Jade Purity Immortal Sect Initiation Competition.

If any disciple or student successfully joins the Immortal Sect, not only will they be honored and have someone to look after them in the future, but the Immortal Sect will also give them certain rewards.

Regarding this kind of thing,
The Jade Purity Immortal Sect itself recognizes and actively promotes this.

After all, the thirty-six domains of the Southern Domain are simply too vast.

Even if a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage flew non-stop, it would take at least ten years to traverse the entire Southern Domain from south to north.

Such a vast and expansive land is simply impossible for the Jade Purity Immortal Sect to control with its own strength alone.

Therefore, we should settle for second best.

By scattering the sect's disciples to various places, establishing their own power bases, and teaching other disciples, and then further selecting the most talented among them to join the immortal sect,
This significantly reduces the cost of recruiting disciples.

of course,

In order to ensure that the various subordinate factions would willingly send their geniuses to cultivate in the immortal sects, rather than keeping them tightly under their control, many other designs were involved.
However, Shen Changchuan did not delve into the details.

In his opinion, the limitation was probably due to the cultivation method itself. To obtain the complete version, one could only do so by joining a celestial sect and through methods such as supervision and management to ensure the loyalty of subordinates.

However, Shen Changchuan was not a sect leader like You Longzi; those things were too far removed from him, and he had no interest in learning more about them.

He only knows,

The once-a-decade entrance competition is the path for geniuses from the many subordinate forces under the Jade Purity Immortal Sect to enter the Jade Purity Immortal Sect for cultivation.

Mo Lingfeng's promise to fight again in five years

That is the matter at hand.

"Although Mo Lingfeng is the pinnacle of the younger generation in the Heisei Domain, the entrance competition of the Thirty-Six Domains is not just for the younger generation. There are also geniuses from the previous generation who have already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm. Anyone under the age of fifty can participate in the entrance competition. As a result, the competition will only be more intense!"

"Although we defeated Mo Lingfeng, we are still a long way off. Now is not the time to relax!"

Thinking of this matter,

The slight arrogance that had arisen in his heart after defeating Mo Lingfeng had now been suppressed.

Shen Changchuan naturally wanted to join the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Only by being on a higher platform can one see a more distant view.

During the process of ascending to the outer body through Qi cultivation, the significant pitfalls concerning the spiritual body made him realize something.

If you don't want to get scammed on the path of cultivation, the best way for someone like you with no established foundation or lineage is to rely on a powerful patron. Just like with the matter of spirits, you have no idea how many pitfalls still lie on this path of cultivation.

If one could join a top-tier power like the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, their future path would undoubtedly be much smoother.

However, joining the Jade Purity Immortal Sect is clearly not that easy.

The entrance competition selects only the top talents from all sides.

and,

Because of the age limit of under fifty, it's not just the younger generation that participates; geniuses from the previous generation and the generation before that will also appear!
Geniuses from sixteen smaller domains gathered to compete and vie for supremacy.
Just thinking about that kind of scene is enough to make you feel immense pressure!

Mo Lingfeng alone possesses such remarkable strength.
So what level of cultivation did the peerless geniuses of the previous generation, and even the generation before that, who had cultivated for ten or twenty years longer, reach?
"There are still five years left. If we can't pass the entrance competition in five years, then the next opportunity may not come for another fifteen years!"

"Although I am of age and have several more opportunities ahead, it is true that if you fall behind once, you will fall behind every step of the way."

"Let's try our best to enter the Jade Purity Immortal Sect in the grand competition five years from now!"

This was Shen Changchuan's thought after hearing the message that Mo Lingfeng had sent over.

Since being favored by the Shen family patriarch and sent to join the Longxiao Sect, thus solving his "survival" problem, Shen Changchuan has not relaxed his efforts.

In this world where the path of cultivation exists, Shen Changchuan looked to the future, and more ideas began to sprout in his heart.

He hoped that one day he could reach the end of the path of cultivation and see the scenery at the peak.

Perhaps one day, I will ascend to immortality, transcending the world, and even discover the secret of my time travel, and return to that distant homeland to take a look...

that moment,
His views on the future
They also have clear goals and plans.

Mo Lingfeng's unexpected intervention

The opening of the Spirit Realm was delayed by three days.
However, none of the five factions intended to delay the start.

They decided to open the Spirit Realm two days after Mo Lingfeng left.

During this period,

Many forces, including the five families, also enthusiastically sent people to visit Shen Changchuan, trying to win him over and build rapport.

after all,

After defeating Mo Lingfeng, Shen Changchuan's position as the number one young cultivator in the Tiannan Region's cultivation world is probably no longer in doubt.

Shen Changchuan might even be the strongest genius born in the Tiannan Region since the great loss of the great war three hundred years ago!

If one could befriend such an unparalleled genius, that would be an absolute steal!
However, Shen Changchuan didn't care much about these things.

He knew very well that...
This is because they gather around me because I am strong enough and perform well enough.

Conversely, if one is ordinary and unremarkable, the other party will not even give them a second glance.

Instead of wasting energy on these social niceties and interpersonal relationships, it's better to focus on improving your own abilities.

I asked Shen Tingchu to help with the reception.
Shen Changchuan, on the other hand, focused on digesting the gains from his battle with Mo Lingfeng.

How long?
The Spirit Realm opens.
Shen Changchuan entered it.
