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

Chapter 866 Shock and Sigh (Three Chapters Combined)

Shen Changchuan stood in the courtyard.
With his induction,

The true essence of time flowed around him like water, a wondrous energy circulated, and visible ripples spread through the air.
in an instant,
The ephemeral beauty of withering and flourishing vegetation, and the ever-changing flow of all things, flashed swiftly through the void.
Amidst layers of faint, illusory images,

Within the vast expanse surrounding Shen Changchuan,

In that instant, You Longzi seemed to see time rapidly moving and the years flowing by!

This,

It's not just an illusion!
As that power of the true meaning of time spread and enveloped everything...

The teacups on the table shattered silently, the tea suspended in mid-air, as if frozen.

The brick and stone ground beneath our feet was also visibly decaying.

You Longzi stretched out his hand.
A wisp of ethereal power, like a tangible, mysterious thread, lingers around the fingertips.

Also at this moment,

He also felt the passage of time and the aging process. Under the influence of the power of this true meaning, the vitality in his body seemed to be rapidly disappearing, eventually turning into a handful of yellow earth and being buried under the ground!
this moment,
You Longzi suddenly contracted, his breath catching in his throat for a moment!
He was naturally not greatly affected by Shen Changchuan's true power.
even,
Even if Shen Changchuan attacks with all his might, he probably won't be able to hurt him in the slightest!
but,
It can directly affect his mood.
This is definitely not something that can be achieved with ordinary progress in comprehending the true meaning!

It can be said,
In an instant,

You Longzi already had the answer in his heart.

but,
"How can this be?!"

A tidal wave surged within him. The composure he had cultivated in the past, remaining unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain, had completely vanished. He even began to doubt whether he was hallucinating!
With You Longzi's level of cultivation, he could naturally see it.

Right now,

The progress that Shen Changchuan has shown in perceiving the true meaning is already extremely close to the comprehension progress of 10%!

this means,

Just one last step.
Shen Changchuan was able to achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and thus naturally enter the Divine Travel Realm!
This,
This is precisely why You Longzi doubted whether he was hallucinating!
How is this possible? !

Several years ago, when he last saw Shen Changchuan, the other party had only just grasped the rudiments of the true meaning.

Only a few years have passed, and the other party is already about to raise their understanding of the true meaning to the level of ten percent?
and,

Six months ago, Ming Xuanyang went to support the Wilderness City and returned.
I just told him that Shen Changchuan's understanding of the true meaning is close to seven-tenths, and he has a great deal of potential to establish his foundation in the Heavenly Dao in the future!
From that time onwards,
How much time has passed?!
This isn't just approaching seven points; it's clearly almost reaching ten points!

Moreover, it's only a hair's breadth away from reaching 10%!

The turmoil that surged in his heart left You Longzi unable to recover for a while.

Until Shen Changchuan stopped releasing that true power,
After a short while,
He took a deep breath and looked at Shen Changchuan in front of him, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

"Changchuan, are you... close to raising your comprehension of this true meaning to one-tenth?!"

You Longzi's voice trembled slightly, a rare occurrence for him.

So much so that he could clearly perceive the progress of Shen Changchuan's comprehension of the true meaning.

But he still asked the question he already knew the answer to.
It's best to confirm whether this is true based on the other party's affirmative statement!

"Master, I do have a feeling that my current understanding of the true meaning is only a hair's breadth away. If I can cross that final hair's breadth, I will be able to achieve a tenth of the true meaning!"

Shen Changchuan didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

There's nothing to hide.
One of the reasons he came to Broken Soul City was precisely to seek his master's help.
How can you get help from others if you don't showcase your achievements?

That final glimpse into the true meaning of enlightenment is beyond what things like Pure Yuan Bright Dao Pills or Myriad Dao Diagrams can help with a breakthrough.

To take that final step,
I'm afraid we'll need even more precious and higher-grade natural treasures!
Perhaps such a divine object,
It can be helpful in advancing to the Profound Core Realm!

If you keep everything to yourself and don't demonstrate enough potential,
What qualifications or confidence do I have to seek support from my master or even the two patriarchs of Wanren Peak?
If one does not have enough potential to complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, even if one seeks help, the master and grandmasters, if they are not stupid, probably will not provide support, right?

This is a very simple reason.

The so-called "playing dumb to catch a tiger" refers to a strategy against the enemy.

Not one of their own!
Based on our interactions over the years, my master is undoubtedly trustworthy!
"Master, I have discovered that I seem to possess some rather unique talents."

Shen Changchuan gave a brief description,
Basically, he can digest resources like Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pills, Myriad Dao Diagrams, and Enlightenment Stones that can help improve his understanding of true meaning, and make the most of their effects.

That is why he was able to reach such a level in just six months.

This reason,

Shen Changchuan had already planned this before deciding to come to Broken Soul City.

After all, the real reason for the progress bar panel attached to the soul of a transmigrator is...

These are the things that concern one's deepest secrets, things that one would never tell even one's closest and most trusted people before one has grown up.

Therefore, a suitable reason is naturally needed.

Actually,
This reason is not something made up.
At least on the surface, that's how it appears!
After disabling the progress bar panel, I did indeed have a special talent for consuming and refining precious pills such as the Pure Yuan Bright Dao Pill, and was able to maximize the digestion of the medicinal power of these rare and precious herbs!
at this point,
No matter how you check, you can't deny it!

"However, when I was about to reach the tenth level of understanding of the true meaning, I encountered a bottleneck and could no longer make any further progress."

"After that, even taking the Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pill or comprehending the Myriad Dao Diagram had no effect whatsoever."

"That bottleneck stood before us, like an insurmountable chasm, completely immovable."

"Having no other choice, this disciple has come to seek Master's help."

I briefly explained the cause and effect of the situation.

Shen Changchuan also frankly explained the problems he had encountered and the purpose of his trip.

The words fell,

Shen Changchuan raised his head and looked at You Longzi, his eyes also filled with a glimmer of hope.

to be frank,
Shen Changchuan still placed most of his hopes for breaking through to the first level of true intent on his master.

As one of the seven disciples of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect,

Moreover, he was a disciple of Master Qian Yuan, who was at the Xuan Dan realm.

You Longzi is definitely considered to be in the middle to upper ranks of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect!

The other party mentioned the world they could access and the level of rare and precious materials they could understand.
These are things that I, in my current state, am simply not qualified to reach!

Just like in the previous life, ordinary people might have to work hard their whole lives to afford a house, but for some wealthy people, it's just a few days' worth of daily expenses.

And this,
That's why Shen Changchuan decided to join the Longxiao Sect almost without hesitation back then!
It's good to rest in the shade of a big tree.
This has been true throughout history.

You Longzi did not answer immediately.
He sat on the stone bench in the attic, frozen in place like a stone.
His stiff face remained unchanged, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Upon seeing this, Shen Changchuan
They fell silent, saying nothing more, simply waiting quietly.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

"But that's not necessarily true. The difficulty of advancing from 9.9% to 10% might be beyond imagination!"

"After all, the last person from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect to advance to the Divine Travel Realm through the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was 1,800 years ago, almost 2,000 years ago!"

"In the nearly two thousand years that has passed, with the vastness of the cultivation world in the Southern Region, how could there not be a few geniuses who could comprehend the true meaning ahead of time?"

"Perhaps, the leap from single digits to double digits is a transformation that is difficult to overcome, which is why there are so few geniuses who can establish their foundation in the Heavenly Dao!"

In a quiet atmosphere,

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but start having some wild thoughts.

Despite having these many thoughts in his mind, Shen Changchuan remained confident in his goals.

In any case, his progress in comprehending the true meaning has now reached 9.9%.
It's truly just a hair's breadth away from achieving 10%!
not to mention,
If they could obtain support from their master, or even from the two Xuan Dan realm elders of Wanren Peak, it would be ideal to make that final push.
If not,

He still has the last path of cultivating numerous spells, perfecting them all, accumulating perfect characteristics, and thus reducing the difficulty of comprehending the true meaning.

There's always a way!

Just as Shen Changchuan was pondering,

You Longzi seemed to finally come to his senses, and his gaze returned to Shen Changchuan:

"Changchuan, this matter is of great importance, and I need to inform my master and the others."

Right now,

The look in You Longzi's eyes as he looked at Shen Changchuan was incredibly complex!

this matter,
It's definitely beyond his control now!

What Shen Changchuan just said was simply too shocking!

He originally thought that Shen Changchuan's performance was close to one-tenth of what it should be.
The fact that he was about to reach the level of true understanding of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment standard was the greatest surprise he could receive today!
Just now, Shen Changchuan briefly explained his special talent.
You Longzi's heart, which had originally calmed down,

At this moment, they were all forced to stir up a huge wave once again!

So much so that the surprise turned into a shock!
“In this world, rare and precious natural materials that can assist in the cultivation of true meaning are indeed precious, but they are not unique.”

"These things are not unavailable for purchase if one is willing to pay the price."

"However, for cultivators seeking to comprehend the true meaning of cultivation, the real obstacle is not the expensive rare and precious materials that aid cultivation, but the bottleneck in comprehending the true meaning!"

“Pills like the Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pill can help cultivators comprehend the true meaning, but they cannot help them overcome bottlenecks.”

"This is also why it's impossible to cultivate a Divine Ascension Realm cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao simply by piling on resources!"

Right now,

You Longzi's gaze was incredibly deep.

As one of the seven disciples of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, his cultivation is at the peak of the Divine Travel Realm, and he is about to cross the final line and enter the Profound Core Realm.

He naturally knew the knowledge of cultivation that Ming Xuanyang knew.

Simultaneously,

He also understood the significance of Shen Changchuan's revelation of his special talent!

"Cultivators who advance to the Divine Travel Realm by establishing their foundation through the Heavenly Dao can enter the Profound Core Realm by comprehending a complete path of true meaning."

"If what he said is true, then when he takes pills like the Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pill, he can maximize the absorption of their medicinal power and smoothly improve his progress in comprehending the true meaning with almost no bottlenecks."

"Then, once he advances to the Divine Ascension Realm through the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, wouldn't we be able to use a similar method, investing sufficient resources to rapidly improve his progress in comprehending the true meaning, thus smoothly entering the Profound Core Realm?!"

When Shen Changchuan revealed his hidden special talent...
You Longzi immediately realized this.

and,

Most importantly,
This undoubtedly means that as long as enough resources are invested to help him comprehend the true meaning, Shen Changchuan is almost destined to reach the Profound Core Realm!
at this point,
Extremely important!
Especially for Wanren Peak now!

To know,
Even as one of the seven disciples of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect,

The numerous resources at their disposal
He was nurtured by the two patriarchs of Wanren Peak with almost a do-or-die attitude.
You Longzi was only about 30-40% confident that he could reach the Profound Core Realm!

But Shen Changchuan before him,
If he wasn't lying,
If his talent is real

And if there are enough resources to nurture them, then the probability of them being able to enter the Profound Core Realm is at least 80% or 90%!
This is undoubtedly a terrifying number!

In a sense, it can almost be said that Shen Changchuan is destined to become a Xuan Dan realm expert in the future!

Also because of this,

You Longzi knew very well.
This matter is no longer something he can decide!

this matter,

We must report this to our master and to our grandmaster!
"Changchuan, during this time, you stay here with me and cultivate diligently. Don't go anywhere else."

"Also, don't tell anyone about your talent or your progress in comprehending the true meaning!"

"Even your senior brothers and sisters, and that guy Ming Xuanyang, do you understand?"

You Longzi stared intently at Shen Changchuan, his expression more solemn than ever before.

This was the first time Shen Changchuan had ever seen his master so serious and solemn!
So much so that his mouth was slightly open.

Some were unaware of what was happening.

However, despite this,

Shen Changchuan nodded:
"Okay, Master."

Jade Purity Immortal Sect

A certain space.

Several illusory figures were converging in a strange space.
It was a space that was not reality; the surrounding void swayed and trembled like paper, with ripples of light reflecting and surging within it.

It's like the magnificent scene of the setting sun shining on the surging waves.

Every figure here exudes a terrifying aura that makes even the void tremble with fear.

An incomprehensible and mysterious power seemed to reflect the Great Dao and manifest itself in the human world.

【Wan Ren, hand over your share to me, and I guarantee that after you pass away, I will do everything in my power to protect the prodigies of Wan Ren Peak and will absolutely not hinder them from seeking the path to the Profound Core! For this, I am willing to swear an oath of my Dao heart!】

[Hmph! Old Ghost Xiang, your own future is ruined, and you're too old. Your so-called vows of Daoist faith are nothing but bullshit to you! Do you really think people are fools?!]

[None of your business! At least I was willing to make a vow of faith, unlike you guys who just want someone's legacy without any real commitment, dreaming of such things!]

[Hey old ghost, come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare!]

"Alright, elders, there's no need to argue. This is a war council against the Heavenly Demon Sect, not a place for debate! Wan Renfeng's decision is their own business; the people here aren't dead yet!"

Among the many gathered phantoms,
Seeing the scene about to descend into chaos, the leader, Master Xuanfeng, spoke coldly.

His cold gaze swept around the surroundings.
The argument, which was about to escalate into a physical fight, was only just barely calmed down.

only,
The two people who had just argued were still glaring at each other.

Meanwhile, the other figures around them seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, as if they wanted to see bloodshed.

Seeing these street thugs hurling insults at each other...
Even Master Xuanfeng, the head of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

If someone saw this scene, they might mistake it for a meeting held by some street gangsters.

Where was the slightest bit of the solemnity and majesty of a Xuan Dan realm expert among these guys?
But no way,

This is the truth!
At their level of the Profound Core Realm, especially considering they are ancient beings who have lived for over a thousand years,
Having been in a high position for a long time, one gains more experience and knowledge, and naturally becomes less concerned about many things.

Therefore, in daily life, it is easier to reveal one's true nature.
For example, you can do whatever you want!
Having reached the Profound Core Realm, there are very few beings in this world who can restrain them.

Why should they care about what other people think?

What dignity,
What kind of demeanor?
If you can let go of that mindset, you won't care anymore.
Act according to your own will.

therefore,

If a conflict arises between them,

Upon meeting, they immediately confronted each other, and it became normal for them to hurl insults and provoke each other like street thugs.

Master Xuanfeng could understand this.

But in this way,
Every time a high-level meeting of the Immortal Sect is held, it gives him a headache.

[Elders, please discuss your plans privately afterwards. Do not bring unrelated matters to the general meeting!]

Alright, let's begin the discussion on conquering the Heavenly Demon Sect!

As Master Xuanfeng finished speaking,
The surroundings quieted down a bit.

The meeting resumed.

Just at this time,

In a corner,

The phantom of the Mountain-Moving Ancestor, representing Wanren Peak, couldn't help but let a hint of sadness flash across his eyes.

Before the person even died, they were already planning to eat up the family's property.

This shows they don't even consider Wanrenfeng a threat!
That's just how things are.

So what?

He failed in his previous closed-door cultivation and now has less than a hundred years left to live.

However, due to an unexpected event during his breakthrough, Qian Yuan was unable to make any further progress, and his remaining lifespan was even shorter!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Wanren Peak still has two Xuan Dan Realm experts guarding it.
But in fact,

The situation is already very precarious!
The Mountain Moving Ancestor couldn't help but sigh, and his mind even became slightly dazed.

Right now, all we can do is hope that little Youlong will succeed.

And those old guys,
They will do their best to stand guard until the very end.

Cheer up,
The Mountain Moving Ancestor turned his attention back to the present moment.

The meeting was extremely complicated.

They discussed many details of the war against the Heavenly Demon Sect.

However, the Mountain Moving Ancestor seemed somewhat distracted.

Until the meeting ended several days later,

Another figure came up to him, trying to establish a connection.

The Mountain Moving Ancestor knew perfectly well that these guys were only after Wanren Peak would have a huge inheritance after he and Qian Yuan fell.

Whether it's the legacy of Wanren Peak or the numerous resources controlled by the Wanren Peak lineage,

This is undoubtedly an enormous asset for other mountain ranges as well!

They had been drooling over it for a long time!
The Mountain Moving Ancestor was somewhat angry.
He's not even dead yet, and they're already rushing up here.

And do they really think that Wanren Peak has no one left?!

In a state of discontent,

The Mountain-Moving Ancestor was too lazy to say any more pleasantries. With a flick of his sleeve, he vanished.

Almost at the same time,

The main peak of Wanren Peak
At the summit of Yunshan Mountain,

In the courtyard behind the main hall, the Mountain Moving Ancestor, who was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock, opened his eyes, his mind returning from the meeting in the illusory space.

He raised his head.
Looking ahead to the horizon, beneath the azure sky, the setting sun gradually disappears into a sea of ​​clouds.
The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected in the eyes of the Mountain-Moving Ancestor.

His face looked even older.

"Ugh!"

After a long while, the Mountain Moving Ancestor let out a deep sigh.

The aura emanating from him grew increasingly aged, like that of an old man nearing his end.

The actions of those old guys with whom I once had some acquaintance
He actually understands.

According to the rules of the Immortal Sect, a peak vein will be dissolved if it loses a Xuan Dan realm cultivator and is unable to cultivate another Xuan Dan realm cultivator within three hundred years. The inheritance and resources of the peak vein will be distributed to other peak veins.

Such rules have existed for a long time.

Since the establishment of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, many mountain peaks have disappeared as a result.

Even their Wanren Peak, throughout history, has never failed to digest the legacy of those abolished peaks and veins, transforming it into resources for its own growth.

But the problem is,

Understanding is one thing,
But in the end, it's still hard to accept!
Especially those whose rights were revoked, they were the ones who were devoured!

Putting aside his master's dying wish, which was simply to ensure the continued succession of Wanren Peak and not disappoint their ancestors,

As the peak master of Wanren Peak, he had been a disciple of Wanren Peak and lived there for over a thousand years. The emotions he had developed during that time made it impossible for him to accept the eventual abolition of Wanren Peak!

just,

Whether he likes it or not,
If both he and Qian Yuan reach their death date and pass away peacefully, and Wanren Peak fails to cultivate another Xuan Dan realm cultivator,

Therefore, Wanren Peak could not escape the fate of being revoked.

"You Longzi, you little rascal, you need to step up your game!"

The Mountain-Moving Ancestor gazed at the distant horizon.

As the setting sun disappeared beneath the layers of clouds, a sense of unease arose in my heart.

And at this time,
"Master! Master! Something terrible has happened!"

not far away,
He took her in as a disciple many years ago, and she was the only one among his disciples to advance to the Profound Core Realm—Master Qian Yuan.
It was shouting and flying towards him in a panic.
