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

Chapter 826 Enlightenment
Shen Changchuan walked through the village streets,

We arrived at the back of the mountain, at the steps leading up the mountain.

He took a step,
Walk up step by step.

Right now,

Shen Changchuan cleared his mind of all thoughts.

I don't care about anything, I don't want to think about anything.

He continued walking like that.

From low to high, one's position is constantly elevated.

Just like the road he came from,

Just like he took one step at a time back then, gradually ascending to the pinnacle of the cultivation world!
Do not know why,

He had clearly walked this road countless times before.

But never before has it been like this.
It has a unique tactile feel!

That feeling,

Just like the mind, will, Dao heart, thoughts, and everything else, all of these have undergone a purification.

Like a diamond that has been wiped clean of dust, it revealed an unprecedented brilliance!
The lingering aftertaste that had been present in Shen Changchuan's soul after drinking the Enlightenment Tea also dissipated at this moment, as if it were circulating throughout his body along with the flow of magical power.

In the dark,

Shen Changchuan had a vague feeling that
In a place he hadn't noticed, a transformation seemed to have occurred that he couldn't perceive either.

Simultaneously,

He seemed to be able to stand at a higher level and from another direction, and experience the profound mystery of the true meaning of time!

True meaning: Time (4.8%)

Accompanied by that inexplicable transformation and the profound insights that linger deep within the heart,

On the panel that Shen Changchuan hadn't noticed, the progress regarding the true meaning of time was quietly increasing.

But at this time,

Shen Changchuan was no longer in the mood to pay attention to these things.

Right now,

He felt an unprecedented tranquility in his heart, and he had a feeling that he wanted to stay immersed in this tranquility forever.

I don't know how long it took,
Shen Changchuan paused in his steps.
We have arrived at our destination.
He arrived at the mansion built halfway up the mountain, which was also the home where he often secluded himself to cultivate in Dawan Village when he was young and weak.

This pause

Shen Changchuan's mind also recovered from that previous state.

He stood still.
I carefully savored the change in my state of mind and the insights I gained.

Try to see if you can recapture that feeling from before.

however,
The feelings of the previous moment,

But at this moment, it has already quietly passed away.
Like a mirage, it can no longer be touched or captured.

This left Shen Changchuan feeling somewhat lost and disappointed.

"pity."

Shen Changchuan felt a pang of regret.

Even the calmest of hearts was stirred by a slight ripple.

However, this slight ripple quickly subsided.

This experience provided an unexpected and profound mental cleansing, and the benefits were considerable.

There's no need to be greedy.

Calm your mind slightly.

Returning after several years, he looked around.

The mansion's surroundings had been renovated and became even more beautiful.

It was much better than the crudely built mountain courtyard when he first arrived.

The spirit fields in front of the mansion where the spirit grains were planted have also been preserved.

Looking from the main gate of the courtyard
The vast expanse of spiritual valley outside was a golden expanse, not much different from what it was back then.

"That's very thoughtful of you."

Shen Changchuan stood in front of the mansion, feeling the warm summer breeze blowing around him and the endless golden waves of spirit valley not far away.

My mind was at peace like never before.

This was the first place Shen Changchuan settled down in since transmigrating to this world.

Here,

It can almost be said that this is Shen Changchuan's first "home" in this world!

After each long journey, a brief return home brings Shen Changchuan a rare sense of peace and comfort.

Especially this time, after spending some time in the inner sect of the Immortal Sect, facing enemies that might be lurking from all directions.

Back home,

Seeing the familiar wind direction around me, feeling the familiar scents in the air...
That sense of security makes people feel more comfortable and at ease.

perhaps,

This is precisely why,

This return, with its fluctuating emotions, may have triggered the lingering effects of the Enlightenment Tea, leading to this change.

Shen Changchuan rested for a night after returning to the courtyard halfway up the mountain. The next morning, he took a Pure Yuan Mingdao Pill.

But this time,
He did not, as usual, retreat into the secluded cultivation chamber to refine the medicinal power.

Instead, he let the medicinal effects dissipate naturally, and left the hillside courtyard.

He walked around the original site of Dawancun, reminiscing about the past.

Starting from the dilapidated village of yesteryear, we walked toward the heart of what is now the Greater Bay Area.

this way,
It's as if it has witnessed the growth and expansion of Dawancun from its small beginnings to its current status as a large city.

He met with the Han family, who now manage the Greater Bay City, in the city center.

At this time, the administrator of Da Wan City was the son of the eldest uncle, who had already reached the stage of "leaving the body" at a young age.

Upon seeing Shen Changchuan, the other party acted with extreme respect and proposed to hold a banquet to summon the people of the city to welcome his return.

However, Shen Changchuan waved his hand, rejecting the suggestion.

After learning a little about the situation in Dawan City and the current state of the Han family, Shen Changchuan left without getting involved.

Actually,
Although in recent years, a large number of cultivators from other places have poured into this wild land, and have begun to develop this monster forest, greatly boosting the local economy.

However, the benefits that the entire Greater Bay City could obtain were no longer enough to support Shen Changchuan's cultivation.

Just like the Pure Yuan Mingdao Pill that Shen Changchuan took not long ago, one pill costs five thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Exchange it for 50 million low-grade spirit stones!
Such a huge figure, judging from the current income of the Greater Bay Area, would probably take more than ten or twenty years to accumulate!

The rare and precious materials extracted from the demon beast forests might be of some use to cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm or low-level Nascent Soul Realm.

But for Shen Changchuan, there was nothing left that he could even look at.

After all, the Southern Region is just a remote and barren land with scarce spiritual energy, so it can't produce many good things.

Shen Changchuan's visit was merely a revisit to familiar places and to catch up on the lives of old acquaintances.

As for Dawan Village
It's just something to keep as a memento.

As long as it can be preserved and continued to operate, leaving a trace in this world.

That's enough.

Not long after,
Shen Changchuan then left Dawan City and headed to a small village about 300 miles away.

This village is not particularly noticeable in today's vast, developed borderland.

On the surface, it is a small town where the Yang family, who are at the Nascent Soul Realm, reside.

There are one or two shops in the town, running small businesses for cultivators who come and go, and they are quite well-known in the area.

Although the Yang family has a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, they have always been kind to others and have a fairly good reputation outside.

only,
What no one knows is that,
This Yangjia Town, which appears to be the main town, is actually the Han family's hidden escape route.

Shen Changchuan's mother, Han Yue'er, and his uncle, Han Dayong, and other elderly people all live in this town to enjoy their retirement.
