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

Chapter 369 Triple Peak
"Such arrogance! I thought he was some kind of powerful expert, but he's nothing special!"

The figure standing behind Xiong Banqing spoke coldly.
With a wave of his hand,
The storage bags on the two corpses, as well as the items tied around their waists, were removed remotely.

He then casually tossed out two fireballs radiating intense heat.
It was a flame with a temperature even higher than lava, a power belonging to the second-tier level of magical transformation.

then,

In just a few breaths,
The two bodies were burned to ashes!
Seeing the enemy completely annihilated.

Shen Changchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay,

There were no mysterious demonic techniques or methods, nor was there any resurrection from the dead.

The two were beyond dead.

Yes,

The person who came was naturally Shen Changchuan!

After receiving a message from Senior Sister Wei Yuting, who was stationed in the sect,
Shen Changchuan then set off.

After spending some time, we finally tracked down the two people's whereabouts just recently.

At the time, the two men were carrying out a large massacre in the village below, and were in the final stages of the operation.

But Shen Changchuan did not immediately intervene.

Instead, they hid in the shadows to observe the opponent's strength.

They only decided to make a move after confirming that one opponent was only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage and the other at the fourth level.

So he used a second-tier spell, whose main function was to conceal one's presence, to approach silently.
After that,
When they had succeeded,
A sudden attack when one is off guard.

The sword light of the Azure Wood Sword erupted, severely injuring them before they could react!

of course,

at this time,
The cultivators who had been resisting in the center of the village had been completely wiped out.

For this,

Shen Changchuan glanced at the ruins of the entire village.
I sighed inwardly.

But I didn't have many thoughts about it.

no way,
Although in the past three years,

His strength has greatly improved, and his cultivation level has even risen to the peak of the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

But he doesn't think he's invincible.

Not to mention those in the distant past, he couldn't even handle cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Before determining the opponent's strength,
How could he blindly rush forward without considering the consequences?
That's irresponsible towards one's own life.

Although his actions might be seen by the cultivators of that large village who had resisted to the very end as someone who had abandoned them in their time of need.

but,
Your own life is the most important thing.

He has done everything he could to ensure his own safety.

I won't feel guilty about it.

"At least, I avenged you!"

Shen Changchuan's figure soared into the sky.
He glanced at the ruins below and murmured to himself.

They then stopped there.
He transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the sect's mountain gate.

high in the sky,

Shen Changchuan was sitting cross-legged on Xiao Feng's back.

Traveling rapidly through the sky.

at this time,

In Shen Changchuan's palm was a thumb-sized centipede with interwoven gold and black patterns, and he gently touched its hard head with his fingers.

"Well done, Xiao Jin!"

Shen Changchuan expressed his approval.

It was this little guy who used his innate magic to grow bigger earlier.

They easily broke through the Soul Refining Banner's domain from the outside.
If it weren't for Xiao Jin's efforts, the Soul Refining Banner's domain wouldn't have been torn apart.

He'll probably have to put in a lot more effort to take down those two!
As expected of a high-level second-tier Gu King.

Even excluding that deadly poison,
Based solely on his own power, he is already no less than a cultivator at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage!
Perhaps as a Gu worm, Xiao Jin is not good at direct combat.

However, its attack power is undeniably strong.

In certain special circumstances, it can play a significant role.

He rewarded Xiao Jin with a elixir he had refined himself.

Watching him finish his meal with relish,

Shen Changchuan then put it back into the white jade gourd.

"I have now reached the peak of the third level of the Out-of-Body stage."

"With my current strength, combined with the many techniques I have mastered over the years, even a cultivator at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul realm might not dare to say that he can defeat me."

"With Xiao Jin around, if used properly, even a sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator might not be unable to be killed."

Shen Changchuan secretly calculated in his heart,

Three years of arduous training,
His strength has improved by more than just a little bit.

Although he has spent a lot of time and energy improving his Gu techniques over the past three years, he also needs to refine pills to earn spirit stones.

Furthermore, as the acting head of the sect's law enforcement hall, he also has to take action from time to time to handle problems encountered by the sect's forces that require a military solution.

But Shen Changchuan never relaxed his cultivation.

Three years of hard work
At this moment, Shen Changchuan,

Not only did his magical skills improve, but his supernatural abilities also underwent a further transformation!

If three years ago he still needed to rely on a surprise attack to kill a cultivator at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage...

So, what about him now?

He is already capable of fighting a fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivator head-on!

Even relying on its many methods and accumulated experience,

It's not impossible for them to fight against cultivators at the fifth or sixth level of the immortal realm!
Our strength has increased significantly!
However, at the same time,

Shen Changchuan also encountered a problem.

That is—he's hit a bottleneck!
Yes,

It is precisely the bottleneck of the peak of the third level of the Nascent Soul realm that lies ahead!
Actually, as early as six months ago,
His cultivation level had already reached the peak of the third level.

In the past six months,
He never gave up trying.

Even in an attempt to break through,
In the past six months, he has even reduced his spending on improving his Gu techniques and refining pills.

Try to break through to the next level in seclusion.

He also tried to practice magic.
He repeatedly exhausted his mana, trying to break through the bottleneck by repeatedly consuming and replenishing his mana while increasing the spell progress bar.

however,
Until the progress bar panel showed that the number of spells had exceeded one thousand.

Shen Changchuan could sense that the bottleneck had not moved an inch!
"Why is this so?"

"Could it be that I've been cultivating too fast, leaving my foundation unstable, which is why I can't easily break through the bottleneck?"

"But that's impossible! The inheritance in the sect's scripture pavilion has a profound understanding of the foundation of cultivation. According to the descriptions of the predecessors there, after repeated tempering, my foundation should be much deeper than that of other cultivators of the same level!"

Shen Changchuan frowned slightly.

He even tried to reach out, a wisp of magic swirling between his palms, distorting the light in that area.

"No! No matter how you look at it, this magic power is extremely condensed."

"Even Senior Sister Wei said that my foundation is incredibly solid, far superior to those who rely on piles of medicine!"

The problem doesn't lie in the foundation!

Shen Changchuan shook his head.

This disregards the possibility of a weak foundation.

Shen Changchuan examined himself.
After thinking for a moment,

Combining the cultivation experiences of predecessors from various sects that I had memorized,
And the teachings of his master, You Longzi.

"Perhaps, this is not my problem."

"But after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it becomes much more difficult to break through to the next level."
