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

Chapter 758 Reason
Shen Changchuan was naturally unaware of the conversations that took place between Situ Yuan and the others.

At this moment, he was half a body length behind Hou Ping, speeding past high above the sea of ​​clouds.

A chilling gust of air swept past, and amidst the swirling clouds, Hou Ping and Shen Changchuan, surrounded by shimmering magical light, flew like shooting stars toward the main peak of Wanren Peak.

Hou Ping calmly recounted Situ Yuan's past to Shen Changchuan, as well as the grudges and entanglements involved.

original,

Shen Changchuan was originally a genius disciple who was taken in by Master You Longzi decades ago.
In their generation, they were almost invincible in the inner sect of the Immortal Sect. As a result, they were noticed by You Longzi, who had already advanced to the late stage of the Divine Travel Realm, and were taken in as disciples.

However, more than forty years ago, Wanren Peak encountered a major change. The then Peak Master, the Mountain Moving True Man, was already 1,600 years old. After failing his last attempt to break through to the late stage of the Profound Core Realm, his lifespan was coming to an end.

Another master of the Profound Core Realm, True Man Qian Yuan, has been stuck at the early stage of the Profound Core Realm due to hidden problems left over from his breakthrough in his early years. He is now nearing the end of his lifespan and will have less than a hundred years left.

In addition, due to a certain incident in the past, there has been a gap of two or three hundred years in the new generation of Wanren Peak. Among the new generation of Wanren Peak, there is not even one who is qualified to break through to the peak of the Divine Travel Realm of the Profound Core Realm!
Even You Longzi, who had previously been one of the Seven Jade Pure Ones, was only at the seventh level of the Divine Travel Realm.

As a result, Wanrenfeng's situation took a sharp turn for the worse, with a lack of successors and a bleak future.

because,

According to the rules of the Immortal Sect, if a certain peak lineage has no Xuan Dan Realm True Person presiding over it for three consecutive hundred years, it will be revoked and all its inheritance will be merged into other peak lineages.

Although on the surface it seems that even with the passing of the two patriarchs, Wanren Peak still has a three-hundred-year buffer period, in reality, this so-called time limit is nothing more than the last bit of dignity that the Immortal Sect is trying to maintain.

It's a very simple principle.

Even when a Profound Core Realm expert was still stationed within the peak vein, protecting his disciples at the peak of the Divine Travel Realm and searching for the rare and precious materials needed for their breakthroughs, none of his disciples were able to break through the threshold of the Profound Core Realm.

Do you really think you can break through to the Profound Core Realm on your own, without the help and protection of a True Immortal of the Profound Core Realm and with scarce resources?

That's utterly delusional!

In fact,
Since the founding of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, in the competitive landscape among its various peaks, those who have lost their Xuan Dan realm lineage are almost always destined for extinction.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wanren Peak's current state already shows signs of decline.

It was against this backdrop that Situ Yuan chose to break away from You Longzi's tutelage and sever ties with Wanren Peak.

But speaking of it,
Strictly speaking, it can't really be considered leaving Wanren Peak, because Situ Yuan wasn't a true disciple of the Wanren Peak lineage at all.

The reason is simple: at that time, Situ Yuan was only an inner disciple, and his cultivation level was still at the Nascent Soul stage.

According to the rules of the Immortal Sect, only those Immortal Sect members who have advanced to the Divine Travel Realm are considered true disciples who have been formally accepted into the various peaks.

Inner disciples like Situ Yuan were pre-selected by the personal disciples of various peaks under the guise of accepting apprentices, and given resources for training, so that they could directly join their respective peaks after advancing to the Divine Travel Realm.
In essence, they are still inner disciples of the Immortal Sect, without the true status of disciples of the peak lineage; at most, they can only be considered as reserve members.

Also because of this,

When Situ Yuan left You Longzi's tutelage, he naturally also broke away from the lineage of Wanren Peak.

Originally, this was nothing unusual. Even husband and wife are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. How much more so for a master-disciple relationship like that of Situ Yuan and You Longzi, which is not very close?

But what makes this matter so egregious is that...
Situ Yuan won first place in their year's inner sect competition, making him a top-tier figure among the inner sect disciples of the Immortal Sect. Furthermore, in order to recruit him, Wanren Peak bestowed upon him numerous precious natural treasures through You Longzi, including the incomparably rare Power of Heaven and Earth!
You should know that this is a chance to advance to the Divine Travel Realm by achieving the Earthly Foundation Establishment when advancing from the Out-of-Body Realm to the Profound Core Realm!
But after obtaining so many resources and benefits, Situ Yuan immediately switched to other peaks as soon as he saw that Wanren Peak was showing signs of decline!
This is the ultimate example of ingratitude and lack of morality!

not to mention,
Situ Yuan's defection to another sect had extremely negative consequences at the time.

This caused Wanren Peak's momentum to plummet once again!
Even You Longzi's departure from the Immortal Sect was related to this.

This,

This is also the reason why Hou Ping harbors extreme hatred towards the other party.

"Although Situ Yuan's character is flawed, it must be said that his talent and strength are outstanding."

"In just forty years, he has not only successfully broken through to the Divine Realm through the Earthly Foundation Building method, but has also reached the peak of the fourth level of the Divine Realm. He is expected to reach the peak of the Divine Realm before the age of two hundred, and is expected to challenge the Profound Core Realm in the future."

As he spoke, Hou Ping unconsciously gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a hint of resentment showing on his face.

"In comparison, I am far behind."

"Over the years, Wan Renfeng has provided me with a lot of resources for training, but I, who became a disciple of Wan Renfeng's lineage around the same time as him, have only barely reached the current level of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm."

"Actually, that guy held back quite a bit during the fight just now; otherwise, I would most likely have been defeated on the spot in a single exchange."

"This world ultimately belongs to geniuses. No matter how hard we ordinary people try, we can never catch up with them."

Between talking,

Hou Ping glanced at Shen Changchuan, his expression complex.

no doubt,

The Shen Changchuan before them was also an unparalleled genius, even more monstrous than Situ Yuan back then.

Don't be fooled by the fact that your current cultivation level is superior to theirs.
But Hou Ping was certain that

If the opponent doesn't die, then in a few decades, he might be able to surpass me!
genius,

That's just how unreasonable it is!
"Senior brother, why be modest? Perhaps you are not as good as Situ Yuan for the time being, but the path of cultivation is not about who walks faster and who is more powerful."

"Moreover, the path of immortality is unpredictable. Perhaps in the future, my senior brother will have a fortuitous opportunity and be able to surpass his opponent."

"The future is uncertain, and who knows what the future holds?"

"Besides, Senior Brother sees others as geniuses and feels that he is ordinary, but in reality, isn't Senior Brother also an unparalleled genius in the eyes of others?"

Seeing the visible sadness on Hou Ping's face,

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but speak up to comfort him.
