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

Chapter 778 The Momentum is Broken
One year ago,

A quiet space

A misty, ethereal aura lingered, and layers of profound Dao principles rippled through the void like waves.

Xuan Tianxing was kneeling on a white jade futon, his face pale, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh, blood flowing from between his fingers and dripping to the ground.

"Cousin, I'm not reconciled!"

Xuan Tianxing lowered his head and growled at the figure in front of him.

"As for Lin Wushuang, as the direct descendant of the Immortal Sect's patriarch, he was personally trained by a Xuan Dan Realm True Person from a young age and even mastered the power of the Flaming Sun True Meaning ahead of others."

"If I lose to him, I can still barely accept it!"

"But what is Shen Changchuan?! A country bumpkin who got lucky in the countryside! He's just a disciple taken in by a loser who was expelled from the Immortal Sect in some remote mountain village. He hasn't even grasped the true meaning. What makes him so capable? What makes him think he can defeat me?!"

"I'm not convinced!"

Xuan Tianxing's face was filled with an expression of unacceptable resentment!
Even though the competition had already ended,
Shen Changchuan even defeated Lin Wushuang in the final competition, winning first place.

But he still couldn't accept this reality!

At that moment,

Xuan Tianxing clenched his teeth, and a trickle of blood gushed from his gums.

He couldn't help but react this way.

Because Xuan Tianxing understands himself very well.
His aptitude and comprehension were not among the best in the inner sect of the Immortal Sect.

Let alone comparing it to the very top ones,
Even among the top twenty inner disciples of the Immortal Sect, his aptitude and comprehension were at the very bottom!
The reason they were able to reach this point, surpassing many of the geniuses and prodigies within the Immortal Sect's inner circle, is...
He only relied on his family background and the powerful resources he had access to through his relationship with his cousin Xuan Daoji!

Xuan Tianxing, who knew his own aptitude wasn't very good,

In order to maintain his fierce and unparalleled prowess and his invincible aura, he chose to take a different path—

That means it's all about family background and connections!

Take Liu Qingchen for example,

My comprehension and technique are indeed inferior to yours, but I have the noble bloodline of the Xuan family and my cousin Xuan Daoji, who is a Daoist disciple of the Immortal Sect, whom I have known since childhood!
Because of this background, the cultivation resources I have access to are worlds apart from the meager resources you can obtain even if you fight desperately!

Therefore,
You're not as good as me!

You are not as good as me now, and you will not be as good as me in the future!

They'll be under my feet for the rest of their lives!
This psychological advantage, if placed in Shen Changchuan's previous life in a world where extraordinary abilities were not readily apparent...
Perhaps it serves no purpose other than saving face and becoming a laughing stock.

But in this world where the path of cultivation exists, it is the foundation of his unwavering Dao heart that enables him to condense an "invincible" aura!

It was precisely by establishing this understanding that he built his own "invincible aura".
Subsequently, adhering to this understanding, his cultivation level made rapid and significant progress.

With the help of the Xuan family's resources and his cousin's connections, he surpassed those geniuses and prodigies who were superior to him in both talent and comprehension!

Xuan Tianxing was very clear about this.
The more he believed that family background and personal connections were the criteria for judging whether a cultivator could achieve anything, the more...
The more he can benefit from it!

Firmly believing in this conviction will not only enable one to make rapid progress in cultivation, but also allow one to maintain rapid advancement in strength, thus leaving many newcomers behind!
This is his belief.

That also belongs to his "invincible momentum"!
however,
Shen Changchuan's existence,

This completely shattered it!

He, Xuan Tianxing, has the Xuan family, which has a history of thousands of years, as his background; he has a core member of the inner sect of the Immortal Sect, a prodigy; and he has a cousin who is a Daoist disciple of the Immortal Sect.

What does Shen Changchuan have?
Nothing at all!

however,
He was just a nobody from a remote, impoverished place, who had never even set foot in any other place, nor had he ever studied in a celestial sect.
They actually defeated him?! That battle in the grand competition wasn't just a defeat for Xuan Tianxing alone...

And there's the "invincible momentum" he's built up over the years!
The defeat in that battle with Shen Changchuan,

It almost shattered the beliefs he had always upheld and regarded as truth!

Xuan Tianxing didn't understand.

How could a son of a concubine from a small, remote, and impoverished family achieve such a feat?

He couldn't accept it.
And I'm even more unwilling to accept it!
Unwilling to accept the beliefs he held dear and the 'invincible power' he had built up,
After that series of blows, it was already shattered and on the verge of collapse!

"Cousin, help me!"

Xuan Tianxing gritted his teeth.

He knew very well that if he couldn't suppress Shen Changchuan,
So after that,
His Dao heart will be destroyed!
He will no longer have that 'invincible' advantage, and from now on, even with family lineage and connections, he will eventually return to an ordinary life!

"What do you want me to do?"

Xuan Daoji remained noncommittal, his voice flat, even appearing somewhat indifferent.

"I want to understand the true meaning, I want to defeat Shen Changchuan!"

“This is not an easy task.” Xuan Daoji frowned slightly.

"Help me, cousin! I know you can do it!"

"can!"

"But this is the last time!"

Xuan Daoji agreed, but his voice was devoid of any emotion.

Xuan Tianxing's mind immediately focused.
he knows,
This is probably the last bit of kindness we can show each other!
But when he thought of Shen Changchuan, and the consequences of failing to suppress him again and rebuild his resolve, he gritted his teeth and hardened his heart:

"it is good!"

A month ago,
A secluded chamber for closed-door cultivation.

boom! ! !
With a terrifying aura erupting suddenly, a ripple of energy spread, causing even the void to tremble in fear.
Xuan Daoji, who was in the middle, opened his eyes.
in an instant,
The space around Xuan Daoji at this moment seemed to have transformed into a starry sky, deep and distant, causing even the space itself to tremble in fear!

"Hahaha! The true meaning of the starry sky has been achieved!"

"Shen Changchuan, you just wait! Once I've consolidated my power, I'll definitely trample you under my feet!"

"The Methodist Society, go and intercept Shen Changchuan! I challenge him to a duel!"

Shen Changchuan was unaware of what had happened to Xuan Tianxing in the past.

Even less clear,

The other party already sees him as a thorn in their side.

At this moment, he

Looking at the few people gathered in front, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

If I'm not mistaken
These people must be Methodists.

One of them,
Shen Changchuan had even met and fought with the other party; it was none other than Cen Yuantong!
However, the other party subtly stepped back to conceal themselves.

The stubbornness and arrogance they had when they first met were long gone.
