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

Chapter 699 Enlightenment
Shen Changchuan was unaware of the conversation between the True Immortal Ancestors at the High Heaven Realm.

Or even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care much.

At this moment, he

He was focusing almost all his energy on the changes in the spatial power manipulation technique.

He sought to comprehend how the supreme experts at the Profound Core Realm utilized spatial power and attempted to apply this knowledge to his own accumulated experience, hoping to create a new method for using spatial power.

Thanks to the terrifying accumulation of special experience gained from those thousands of perfect-level spells,
Shen Changchuan discovered that
I am making rapid progress in this area.

It's unclear whether this is because the Xuanfeng Master's technique for utilizing spatial power is the simplest and most basic method, belonging to the threshold of the magic path, which is why the accumulation of thousands of perfected spells came into play.
Or is it for some other reason?

Shen Changchuan also did not understand the reason.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it succeeds, who cares about the principle behind it.

It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat.

Moreover, it's unclear now.
As I further cultivate myself and learn more in the future, I will naturally understand.

Also because of this,

Shen Changchuan almost completely ignored all external influences.

Immerse yourself in the insights and understanding gained from the application of spatial power.

Shen Changchuan sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.

So boring.

The curious gazes that had been directed at him naturally shifted away.

But it wasn't until Lin Wushuang made his move that the world was shocked.

All eyes were drawn to Lin Wushuang; countless gazes converged on her.
Then no one would pay any attention to Shen Changchuan in the corner.

Like a speck of dust that is overlooked.

Even Xuan Tianxing, who previously regarded Shen Changchuan as a "qualified" opponent,
All eyes turned to Lin Wushuang.

"How could Lin Wushuang's Blazing Sun True Intent be so powerful?! Wasn't it said that he only obtained this power through trickery?"

Xuan Tianxing stared at Lin Wushuang's arena, his expression turning extremely grim.

In one's heart,

They had long since forgotten about Shen Changchuan.

no way,
In Xuan Tianxing's eyes, Shen Changchuan was nothing more than a lucky "insect" who was barely qualified to challenge him.

In contrast,

Lin Wushuang is the "arch-enemy" he has always wanted to defeat!
Yes,

They are sworn enemies!

Actually,
Before this, Xuan Tianxing had fought Lin Wushuang several times.

At that time, Lin Wushuang had not yet activated the bloodline of the ancient demon beast implanted in his body. Although he was not weak, he defeated him several times in their battles thanks to the power of the bloodline.

But Xuan Tianxing did not become discouraged because of this.
Because during the actual match,
The differences between them are actually not that great.

Such a gap,
Xuan Tianxing believed that with some effort, he still had a chance to surpass his opponent.

He went into seclusion for quite some time recently, his purpose being to cultivate a secret technique to deal with his opponent.

After mastering the secret technique and emerging from seclusion, Xuan Tianxing was full of confidence.

He felt that he was already no weaker than Lin Wushuang.

Just as the grand competition was approaching,

He also wanted to take this opportunity to defeat him in front of everyone and surpass him in one fell swoop!
of course,

He also received some messages during this period.
Not long ago, Lin Wushuang mastered the True Meaning of the Blazing Sun and used it to defeat the previous candidate for Dao Son, successfully taking over the position.

But Xuan Tianxing remained confident even after receiving the news. Because...

He knew that Lin Wushuang's Blazing Sun True Meaning was not something he had comprehended himself.
It was because of his grandfather's doing.

Xuan Tianxing felt that
Power gained through shortcuts and external forces is ultimately not one's own.
Even if it's strong, it can't be that strong.
With the trump card he just mastered, dealing with it shouldn't be too difficult.

But now,
Having witnessed Lin Wushuang's attack firsthand,

Xuan Tianxing's inner confidence had completely vanished!

"hateful!"

His fist clenched involuntarily.
The thought that all his years of preparation had been in vain, and that the other person was getting further and further away from him, made him feel incredibly sad.

Xuan Tianxing felt a surge of frustration that was hard to describe!

"Enough! The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Relying on external forces can only provide temporary relief. The real test will come when we overcome the true difficulties in the future!"

"So what if I let you go first? One day, I'll leave you far behind!"

"Let's aim for second place in the competition this time!"

Xuan Tianxing was filled with resentment, but he could only make up his mind in secret.

In this case

Shen Changchuan is insignificant and not worth mentioning; naturally, he has no right to care about him.

The surroundings were incredibly lively.

The powerful display of Lin Wushuang's abilities sparked much discussion.

Meanwhile, Shen Changchuan silently comprehended the power that was beyond his own realm and strength, all while unnoticed.

And because of the experience gained from the completion feature of the progress bar panel,

Regarding the application of spatial power,
It was being digested and absorbed by him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

time flies,
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

In these seven days, the more than two hundred people who entered the semi-finals have already been eliminated in one round.

The reason it took so long is...
That's because, among those at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm and with similar strength, it's common for it to take one or two hours to determine a winner.

In fact,
It would be abnormal for someone like Shen Changchuan, Xuan Tianxing, or Lin Wushuang to be able to kill instantly, even though their cultivation levels are similar but their strength is vastly different.

Both are at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, both have mastered perfected second-tier top-level spells, and both have rich combat experience.

The goal is to determine the winner in a short period of time.

It's really difficult.

Especially those who have made it to the semi-finals, each of them can almost be said to have reached the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

At this peak, it is very difficult to make any further progress.

Because the limit is there.

Even if there is a difference, it's only a step or two, or a difference of one or two top-tier second-order spells.

Unless we can break the limits.

For example, Shen Changchuan and Lin Wushuang, when they reached the Nascent Soul stage, crossed a major realm to comprehend and master a trace of power at the Profound Core stage.

at this time,
Only then can one possess a terrifying power on an even higher level, beyond the limits!
But obviously,
Not everyone is like Lin Wushuang, with powerful connections who can defy fate, nor is everyone like Shen Changchuan, who possesses extraordinary abilities that can turn the impossible into the possible.

Even among the younger generation in the entire Southern Region, those who have mastered the true meaning are fewer than a handful, despite only being in the rudimentary stage.

As a result,
Aside from a few overwhelming battles and a handful of fights that could be resolved within a hundred moves,

Many of these battles lasted for thousands or even tens of thousands of moves, dragging on until both sides were exhausted and one side revealed a weakness before the fight ended.
