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

Chapter 842 Arrival
When Shen Changchuan was in the Immortal Sect, he had sparred and fought with his senior brother Hou Ping, who was at the peak of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm.

Therefore, I have some understanding of the power of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm.

but,

When I sparred with Senior Brother Hou Ping, it wasn't a life-or-death struggle, and Senior Brother Hou Ping mostly didn't use his full strength.

Therefore, this estimate of combat strength is not very accurate.

But Shen Changchuan could sense it.

If it really is a life-or-death struggle, I will definitely be the one to lose!
This is normal,

Although I possess the advantage of true power,

But as a former top inner sect genius who was able to compete with Situ Yuan and others, Hou Ping has now reached the peak of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm. How could he not have grasped some of the true power?

After bridging the gap in the power of true meaning,
The opponent could completely use the power of the Divine Travel Realm to deliver a devastating blow to me, a blow that could be described as a dimensional reduction attack!

Therefore, Shen Changchuan deduced that...

If it's a life-or-death struggle,

I probably wouldn't be a match for Senior Brother Hou Ping.

But then again,
The peak of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm is not the same as the peak of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm.

Immortal cultivators of the Immortal Sect
He was already a prodigy in the cultivation world!

Hou Ping's strength at the peak of the third level of the Divine Realm is completely different from that of someone at the peak of the third level of the Divine Realm outside the Immortal Sect!

The power of true meaning, even at the Divine Travel Realm, remains the exclusive domain of geniuses among geniuses!

You should know that when Shen Changchuan and Xuan Tianxing fought, many cultivators at the Divine Travel Realm came to watch, wanting to witness the power of True Meaning!

That's because even though they've advanced to the Divine Travel Realm, they still haven't reached the power of True Meaning, so they came to observe.

This kind of power is something that most cultivators in the Divine Ascension Realm find difficult to comprehend even in the later stages of the Divine Ascension Realm!
And in addition,

The methods and philosophies practiced by those who cultivate in seclusion within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect are far beyond what outside cultivators can access.

Therefore, they are clearly at the same level of understanding.
However, the difference in strength between cultivators from outside the immortal sect and those from the immortal sect can still be described as vast!
Shen Changchuan did not think so.
Zuo Jiuyin, who is a disciple of the leader of the Netherworld Sect, is strong enough to be compared with his senior brother Hou Ping!

"Shouldn't that be enough to deal with or contend with them?"

"After all, even when Zuo Jiuyin faced the combined forces of the Shen family patriarch and the ancient sword sect's supreme patriarch, he could only repel them, not kill them."

"This undoubtedly proves that the guy's strength is not as terrifying as it seems."

"On the contrary, if Senior Brother Hou Ping were to go all out, even if the two of them joined forces and fought desperately, they probably wouldn't survive."

Shen Changchuan thought to himself.

He wasn't belittling or insulting the Shen family patriarch or the Supreme Patriarch of the Ancient Sword Sect.

But that is indeed the case!
Let's not talk about the Divine Travel Realm anymore.

That is the Out-of-Body Realm.
As fellow geniuses of the Immortal Sect at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, they can easily defeat several or more Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the outside world!
If someone like Shen Changchuan has mastered the power of true intent, then even if there are many peak Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the outside world attacking them, they will not be much of a threat!

These are cultivators from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect who stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world in the Southern Region.
The gap between them and cultivators from the outside world!

"Zuo Jiuyin's strength is only enough to defeat the combined forces of the Shen family patriarch and the ancient sword sect's supreme patriarch. He is probably even a notch below Senior Brother Hou Ping, who is fighting desperately without using his true power!"

"Compared to when I sparred with Senior Brother Hou Ping before, I have made great progress. My comprehension of the true meaning has also increased to 6.1%, which is almost double!"

"Right now, dealing with Senior Brother Hou Ping, who hasn't used his true power to fight to the death, shouldn't be a big problem!"

After careful consideration, Shen Changchuan understood.

The higher the progress of understanding the true meaning, the deeper the understanding of the true meaning, the smoother the application of this power, and the more powerful it becomes!
Compared to before, Shen Changchuan's strength has also improved significantly.

With 6.1% progress on the true meaning of time, coupled with his own mastery of spatial power, the Undying Scripture of Yi Wood, and other methods,

Shen Changchuan felt that facing his senior brother Hou Ping, with whom he had sparred, head-on shouldn't be a problem.

Then, facing Zuo Jiuyin would be even less of a problem.

of course,

Shen Changchuan also knew that,

The main problem is confronting them head-on.
As for killing someone of a higher level, that would likely be quite difficult.

After all, the peak of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm is far superior to the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
That's a difference of one major realm and three minor realms!
The huge gap

Perhaps the power of true intention can provide some compensation.

But to surpass it, or even to exceed it,
That's not so simple.

However, no matter what

If the intelligence is correct, then he is confident in facing this crisis in the Wilderness City!
Shen Changchuan clenched his fists, feeling a surge of confidence.

A few days later,
A thousand miles outside the desolate city.

A tall, slender figure in black robes stood in mid-air, his body surging with demonic energy, as if an abyss had descended.

Behind him,

Several demonic flying ships, each topped with a giant skull and exuding a dark, malevolent aura, hovered silently in mid-air, arrayed at the rear.

The figures on the airship were arranged in neat rows, their faces serious.

But all eyes in the world
At this moment, everything seemed to converge on Zuo Jiuyin!

The terrifying aura emanating from it, like a vast ocean, created visible ripples in the air.
Even the surrounding light dimmed at that moment under that terrifying pressure!

A terrifying, oppressive atmosphere, like the calm before a storm, enveloped the entire world at that moment!

The oppressive atmosphere was almost suffocating.

This caused the demonic cultivators on the flying boats behind, who were originally unruly and disobedient, to stand obediently and not dare to make a sound.

"Humph!"

"Two long-time protectors of the sect, whose strength was not weak, were easily killed like dogs on the street?!"

"Truly utterly useless, you'd be better suited as material for my Netherworld Technique!"

The figure in black robes raised his head, revealing a pale, eerie face beneath the cloak.

This person,

He was also the son of the Seven Deadly Demons, and the personal disciple of the leader of the Netherworld Sect—Zuo Jiuyin!

At this moment, Zuo Jiuyin

Those long, slender fingers, as white as jade, were pinching a communication talisman.

After understanding the message conveyed by the talisman,

He let out a cold snort, and a chilling, murderous aura permeated every inch of the surrounding space.

The demonic cultivators on the flying boat behind couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and swallow hard.

However, to their relief...
The great demon before them ultimately did not take the opportunity to attack them or turn them into materials.

"So the genius who won first place in the Jade Purity Sect's internal competition is here too? Excellent! A human puppet made from the blood and bones of such a genius would have excellent combat power and potential!"

"If we capture him, we should also receive a considerable reward from the Holy Sect. It's truly an unexpected bonus!"

What came to mind?
A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Zuo Jiuyin's lips.

The Jade Purity Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect are mortal enemies.

Both sides have publicly offered bounties for each other's promising junior talents.

Although it is unknown why the first place in the Jade Purity Sect Grand Competition was given to this Shen Changchuan instead of the renowned Xuan Daoji.

But winning first place in the competition is probably worth some money, right?
It's a pity.
If it were that Xuan Daoji who came, then we would have truly struck gold!

Instead of this unknown character named Shen.

Thoughts flashed through,

With a forceful squeeze of his left hand, Jiuyin's fingers...
in an instant,
The black smoke at his fingertips burned rapidly like flames, instantly turning the communication talisman into dust and vanishing into nothingness!

"Send the order!"

"Within three days, the city will be destroyed without sealing the sword!"

Zuo Jiuyin raised his hand and waved it forcefully. His chilling voice resounded throughout the entire world at that moment!
