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

Chapter 867 Ecstasy, Contemplation, and Waiting (Three chapters combined)

"At your age, why are you acting so flustered? What kind of behavior is this!"

Upon seeing this, the Mountain Moving Ancestor frowned and rebuked him.

In general, the seniority among cultivators is determined by their level of cultivation.

For example, if a cultivator who joined the cultivation sect later breaks through to the Divine Travel Realm, then even a Nascent Soul Realm disciple who joined decades earlier must address him as Senior Brother.

Even if the former holds a higher position such as a steward or elder, he must address the other party as "uncle" in public!
This is the hierarchy in the cultivation world where the strong are respected.

But among these,

There are exceptions,
That is, fellow disciples who are under the same master and have a closer relationship!

Such fellow disciples under the same master,
Generally, they are divided according to the chronological order of when one started learning.

Even if the junior disciples who joined later are stronger than the senior disciples who joined earlier,
The order of senior and junior disciples will remain the same, based on the order in which they entered the sect, and there will be little change.

Just like Wu Tianhao and Shen Changchuan,

Even now, Shen Changchuan's strength far surpasses that of Wu Tianhao, who initially introduced him to the sect, and also surpasses Wei Yuting, Hong Yang, and several others.

But the reason he still calls them senior brothers is because of this!

This is because they were all disciples of the same master.
The master-disciple relationship and the fellow disciples' relationship have become even closer!

With the same master as the thread, the relationships that are connected are more stable.

Unlike the strangers in the cultivation world outside, who have little interaction with each other,
Naturally, strength is the most respected.

The same applies to the same sect.
After all, the entire sect has thousands or even tens of thousands of members. Within such a group, one disciple has virtually no connection with another. Among the thousands or tens of thousands of cultivators, they are merely strangers cultivating and living in the same sect.

This system of prioritizing merit naturally became the best way to determine seniority.
And this method has gradually become the way most people recognize and use the term.

Fellow disciples under the same master are an exception.

Then the master-disciple relationship is an even greater exception!

In this world, cultivators don't necessarily reach the point where a teacher for a day is a father for life, or where a son has no choice but to die if his father commands it.

However, the master, as the guide, still holds an extremely high position.
The grace of passing on the Way is almost equal to the grace of giving birth and raising.

Therefore, the hierarchical relationship among them will continue to be maintained.
Even if the disciple breaks through to the Profound Core Realm, while the master remains in the Nascent Soul Realm,
Even a disciple at the Profound Core Realm must still address the latter as Master!
It is precisely because of this,
Although True Man Qian Yuan was already at the Profound Core Realm.
Within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, he is qualified to be addressed as an equal to other Profound Core Realm experts.
But in front of the Mountain-Moving Ancestor,

He was still just a disciple, under the supervision of the Mountain Moving Ancestor.

The Mountain-Moving Ancestor, who was the master, always regarded Qian Yuan Zhenren as his disciple.

now,

Seeing that True Person Qian Yuan had lost all his usual composure and was rushing over in a streak of light, shouting...

He was already worried about Wan Renfeng's future,
A surge of anger rose within him.

just,

In the past,

Seeing his master so angry, Master Qian Yuan would more or less straighten his attitude and apologize with his hands clasped.

But at this moment,
Master Qian Yuan, however, couldn't care less about that.

"Master, it's a big deal!"

"Your grand-disciple You Longzi has sent a message talisman, he has something important to tell you!"

Right now,

Master Qian Yuan's face showed a mixture of surprise and excitement.

As the strongest being in the Profound Core Realm and having lived for over a thousand years, what major events hasn't True Person Qian Yuan witnessed?
Initially, when he received the encrypted message from his disciple, he didn't pay much attention to it.

They assumed that the other party had made some new progress in their search for the opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm in the Southern Yue region.

But it wasn't until after understanding the information in the message that...

At that moment, Master Qian Yuan stared wide-eyed, his face showing disbelief!

to be frank,
When he saw the description in the message, his first reaction was disbelief.

Or perhaps they think that You Longzi might have made a mistake.

However, after You Longzi described the whole situation in detail in the latter half of the message and repeatedly assured that what he said was absolutely true, Qian Yuan Zhenren had no choice but to believe him!

Also because of this,

After reviewing all the contents of the encrypted message, a surge of immense joy welled up within me.

Qian Yuan Zhenren then flew directly to find the Mountain Moving Ancestor.

There is no doubt that

If the information provided by Youlong in the communication talisman is true, then this will undoubtedly be a great joy for Wanrenfeng!

nowadays,
Although Wan Renfeng's hopes for the next generation are all pinned on You Longzi.

But to be honest,

Even Master Qian Yuan, as the master, didn't have much hope that his disciple could reach the Profound Core Realm.
The threshold from the Divine Journey to the Profound Core stage is simply too difficult to cross!

This is the first hurdle.
It has killed countless peerless geniuses and prodigies throughout history who have suppressed an era.

Judging from You Longzi's past growth and performance, even with Wan Renfeng's full support, a success rate of 40% would be the limit for him to break through!

But rather,
The entire Wanren Peak today,

Only You Longzi is qualified to break through to the Profound Core Realm in a short period of time!

Others either lack the necessary understanding or...

Either they lack potential, or their success rate in breaking through is less than 10%.

This is precisely why he, Master Qian Yuan, and his master, Laozi Wanren, are worried about the future of Wanren Peak.

If the Dragon Finger breakthrough fails...

Therefore, the entire Wanren Peak is undoubtedly heading towards dissolution and closure!
But even under such circumstances

His disciple You Longzi's message told him that things had taken a turn for the better, which made Master Qian Yuan overjoyed!

In this state, True Person Qian Yuan no longer cared about the decorum of the Profound Core Realm.

Fly straight over here to inform Master, the Mountain-Moving Ancestor, of this news as soon as possible!

Seeing that Master Qian Yuan reacted so strongly,

The Mountain-Moving Ancestor frowned slightly.

He didn't say anything in the end, but took the communication talisman, immersed his divine sense into it, and browsed the information inside.

however,
After reading the message from the talisman...

The Mountain-Moving Ancestor's brows did not relax; instead, they furrowed even more.

His face was tense, and he didn't say a word, no one knew what he was thinking.

Looking at his master's reaction, Master Qian Yuan...
I also felt somewhat puzzled.

After a short while,

The Mountain Moving Ancestor's magic power trembled slightly, and the communication talisman at his fingertips flared up and burned completely.

"Master?"

"Master, rest assured, I know my disciple's character well, there should be no fakery involved."

"Moreover, these things can be easily distinguished from the real ones by looking at them with one's own eyes. I don't think that kid You Longzi would fabricate such a lie just to make us happy."

Seeing his master's reaction, Master Qian Yuan
They thought the other party didn't believe such a thing existed, so they burned the communication talisman as well.

however,
The Mountain Moving Ancestor waved his hand.

With a solemn expression, he said:

“I am not doubting the truth of this matter. I know your apprentice’s character very well. He would not be so dishonest as to fabricate something.”

"However, this matter is of great importance. If the news leaks out, it will definitely cause complications, and may even endanger the life of your grand-disciple!"

"This news must absolutely not be leaked!"

The Mountain-Moving Ancestor's solemn expression...
This also made Master Qian Yuan realize the situation, and his joy subsided slightly.
At that very moment, they also realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Indeed, if others find out about this, that kid might be snatched away, or even murdered!"

Master Qian Yuan's expression also became solemn.

According to the message talisman, if Shen Changchuan can successfully establish his foundation in the Heavenly Dao, coupled with his unique talent, then his future is almost certainly destined for the Profound Core realm!
Thus,
Even if You Longzi loses the bet and fails to break through to the Profound Core Realm,

But as long as Shen Changchuan grows up, Wanren Peak will still be able to continue to exist, and will continue to be passed down for at least another thousand years!

just,

Shen Changchuan's existence, and his future breakthrough to the Profound Core Realm, will be of great significance to the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Perhaps it's a good thing to strengthen our capabilities.

However, certain factions within the Immortal Sect who have long coveted the numerous resources that would follow the fall of Wanren Peak may not want to see this happen!
The numerous resources under Wan Renfeng's command have long been coveted by many.
As a result, You Longzi was suppressed.
To avoid entangled in trivial matters and hindering his breakthrough in cultivation, he had no choice but to go to the Southern Region, a small region where the immortal sects were weakest, to establish a foundation so that he could stay out of the hustle and bustle and concentrate on his breakthrough.

If news of Shen Changchuan were to spread, Wanren Peak would truly show signs of a rise to power.
At that time,
Those factions that covet Wan Renfeng's resources will inevitably resort to underhanded tactics!

Thinking of this,

For a moment, Master Qian Yuan also became somewhat anxious and uncertain.

Shen Changchuan's existence brought a glimmer of hope to Wanren Peak.

But the same,

Even Wan Renfeng might not be able to protect him and allow him to grow up safely!
"Therefore, this matter must be taken very seriously!"

The gaze of the Mountain Moving Ancestor was incredibly deep.

"Qian Yuan, you must go there yourself!"

"Be careful to act secretly and leave no trace. I'll tell everyone that you're in seclusion at Wanren Peak to cover for you."

"Once you get there, protect that kid secretly."

"That's perfect. It's said that there's an opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm there. Better safe than sorry. If we can find that legendary opportunity and help that kid You Longzi successfully enter the Profound Core Realm, that would be another kind of guarantee!"

After careful consideration, the Mountain Moving Ancestor made arrangements.

Master Qian Yuan nodded.
"Don't worry, Master, I know what I'm doing."

"But what about the resources that can help Shen Changchuan comprehend the true meaning?"

If it's simply something like the Pure Yuan Bright Dao Pill or the Myriad Dao Diagram,

As cultivators at the Profound Core Realm, they could naturally produce it with ease.

but,

According to what You Longzi said in the communication talisman,

Shen Changchuan wanted to take that final step and achieve the true understanding of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
What is needed then is something on a higher level than the Pure Yuan Bright Dao Pill or the Myriad Dao Diagram!

However, since Youlong only needs to break through to the Profound Core Realm,
Any valuable resources they possessed had been exchanged for the breakthrough materials needed by You Longzi.

So much so that for a time,
True Man Qian Yuan could not find any rare and precious material that could assist in comprehending the true meaning, and was on a higher level than the Pure Yuan Bright Dao Pill!

"Leave this matter to me."

"That old devil Qingmufeng owes me a favor from years ago, and it's time to repay it."

"The Time Fruit of the Dragon Seizing Life Tree from their lineage contains a trace of the origin of the Dao. It should be enough to cross that final step!"

"Qian Yuan, while you're at it, make sure you know what other cultivation resources Wanren Peak has, and bring anything useful with you."

"If that kid Shen Changchuan can truly succeed in establishing his foundation through the Heavenly Dao, he might need corresponding cultivation resources." The Mountain-Moving Ancestor hadn't finished speaking.
But Master Qian Yuan had already understood his master's meaning.

Once Shen Changchuan successfully uses the Time Fruit to cross that final step of Foundation Establishment in the Heavenly Dao and advances to the Divine Travel Realm...
Then he'd better try it out with some resources.
Let's see if Shen Changchuan really has that special talent in comprehending the true meaning!
If Shen Changchuan could truly digest those rare and precious materials as if there were no bottlenecks, and rapidly improve his progress in comprehending the true meaning,

That's when they finally made up their minds.
We will spare no effort to nurture Shen Changchuan and help him reach the Xuan Dan realm!

just,

At this very moment,
Master Qian Yuan realized something and fell silent.
The initial excitement had faded from my heart.

Instead, it was filled with worry:
"Master, if Shen Changchuan's talent is real, then the resources he needs to cultivate to the Profound Core Realm..."

Master Qian Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Since he entered the Profound Core Realm,

For hundreds or thousands of years
Wan Renfeng has already lost several gambles in his attempt to cultivate the next Xuan Dan realm cultivator.

Their family's treasury was almost completely emptied.
You Longzi
It was their last hope.

It was also their last desperate gamble!

Also because of this,

After providing You Longzi with the resources to break through to the Profound Core Realm, Wanren Peak's treasury was practically empty.

In this situation,
Even if Shen Changchuan successfully establishes his foundation in the Heavenly Dao, even if he truly possesses such talent,
How can we continue to provide him with support?

"Hahaha!"

"What are you worried about!"

"As long as Shen Changchuan's talent is genuine, then he is destined to reach the Profound Core Realm!"

"Does selling my old bones not even earn me enough resources for his cultivation?"

The Mountain Moving Ancestor sneered, completely disregarding Qian Yuan Zhenren's concerns.

His gaze was intense at that moment.

"We have no resources, but the Immortal Sect does!"

"The great battle with the Heavenly Demon Sect is about to begin, and some suicidal tasks need to be done."

"Anyway, I'm an old man and I won't live much longer, so I might as well exchange some resources for Wan Renfeng's future."

"Moreover, Wan Renfeng also controls a considerable number of spirit stone mines, medicinal herb fields, and secret realms, all of which can be exchanged for other things!"

"As long as Shen Changchuan can reach the Profound Core Realm, all the sacrifices will be worthwhile!"

Between the words of the Mountain Moving Ancestor,
With an undeniable determination!

If Shen Changchuan can truly succeed in establishing his foundation through the Heavenly Dao...
If his talent is real,
So these efforts

It's all worth it!
do not forget,
Shen Changchuan is currently not even sixty years old.

Once it advances to the Profound Core realm, it will have a lifespan of at least a thousand years.

And so young,
Perhaps they might even reach the next level beyond the Profound Core realm!
At that time,
The benefits that Wan Renfeng offered in order to gather the resources for his cultivation.
In the end, won't they just return to the towering peak?

This effort,
Absolutely worth it!

"Go and prepare first."

"Your most important task is to protect that kid. If anything happens to him, then everything else is meaningless."

"Heaven has shown mercy, bringing me such a glimmer of hope before I die."

"We can't afford to lose it because of our carelessness!"

The words fell,

With a single step, the Mountain Moving Ancestor vanished into the void.

They prepared to head to Aoki Peak.
Demanding the fruits of time.

Qian Yuan Zhenren stood still in place.

After a short while,

He bowed in the direction where the Mountain Moving Ancestor disappeared.

"Don't worry, Master. If that kid isn't lying, I'll risk my life to make sure nothing happens to him!"

The True Man Qian Yuan muttered to himself,

His eyes were firm.

If my master is willing to go all out, why can't I?

Even at this moment, another thought flashed through Qian Yuan Zhenren's mind.

If all of that is true

Then I can exchange myself for my master doing those "life-threatening" jobs.

Thus,
Perhaps it will allow my master to witness the day when his disciple's grand-disciple enters the Profound Core Realm.
A thought flashed through my mind,

The figure of Master Qian Yuan also disappeared quietly.

at this time,

The land of Nanyue

Broken Soul City.

Shen Changchuan was unaware of what had happened at Wanren Peak.

At this time, he

He looked somewhat worried.

because,

Since that day when I confessed to my master,

His master forbade him from leaving Broken Soul City.

It is said that Shen Changchuan's reputation in the demonic faction has greatly increased because of the battle of the Wilderness City.
On the Demonic Alliance side, the Seven Absolute Old Demon and the Netherworld Sect Leader have already issued a hefty bounty on him, the price of which is no less than the price of killing two or three peak Divine Realm cultivators!
Even if someone discovers his whereabouts, they can receive a generous reward once it is reported!

If he goes out and his whereabouts are discovered by demonic cultivators, it will be extremely dangerous!

Therefore,
You Longzi then issued an order forbidding him from leaving Broken Soul City.

This undoubtedly made Shen Changchuan somewhat frustrated.

You should know that one of the reasons he initially planned to come to this land of Nanyue was to help Long Xiao and lighten the burden on his master and his fellow disciples.

He had made up his mind to go to the battlefield.
They fought a fierce battle with the demonic cultivators.

Unexpectedly, this has happened.

Then there's no point in talking about contributing anything.

Fortunately,

Shen Changchuan was not an unreasonable person.

He knew in his heart,
The master's actions were nothing more than concern for his safety.

And he himself killed Zuo Jiuyin.

Indeed, it also severely offended the Seven Deadly Demons and the Netherworld Sect Leader, both top-tier demons at the peak of the Divine Travel Realm, from the Demonic Path Alliance.

Going out rashly is indeed unsafe.

Although I have a trump card to escape, it would be best if I could save it.
then,

Shen Changchuan could only stay in Broken Soul City in peace.

"Hopefully, our master and the others can lend a hand."

"The last 0.1%! Once I cross this threshold, I will naturally advance from the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage to the Divine Travel Realm!"

"Everything will be alright then!"

Shen Changchuan thought to himself, but he wasn't in too much of a hurry.

His master had already discussed this with him.
He said he would inform the two grandmasters of Wanren Peak about his situation.

Moreover, he is currently carrying a considerable amount of supplies, ready to break through to the Profound Core Realm at any time.

But those things are all related to the formation of the elixir, and have little to do with comprehending the true meaning.

Only those two grandmasters from Wanren Peak,

It's possible that they could produce a rare treasure of heaven and earth that could help him break through the final glimmer of true understanding, a treasure that is above the Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pill!

And to this,
Shen Changchuan was also full of confidence.

He didn't believe that the two patriarchs, whose cultivation was at the Profound Core Realm, wouldn't have the rare and precious materials to help him break through to the last 0.1% of true meaning.

Because I know what I'm doing.

Shen Changchuan waited patiently.

However, Shen Changchuan didn't just stay in Broken Soul City doing nothing.
He first went to see his senior brother Hongyang.
They caught up for a while.
We chatted about our recent situations.

Regarding Shen Changchuan's arrival,

Senior Brother Hongyang was also pleasantly surprised, and his gaze towards him was full of emotion.

Because he discovered,
After each separation and subsequent reunion,

Shen Changchuan's strength will increase significantly!

It has only been a few years since the Immortal Sect's internal competition, and the other party has already been able to kill Zuo Jiuyin, who is at the peak of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm!
That's the peak of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm!
Hong Yang was at a level he could hardly imagine, yet he still died at Shen Changchuan's hands!
Moreover, Shen Changchuan's cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

With such strength,

It’s incredible!

but,

Perhaps it was because Shen Changchuan had done too many unbelievable things.

So, although I was extremely shocked, I eventually accepted it.

Hong Yang had known this for a long time.

Someone like Shen Changchuan is simply not someone they, ordinary mortals, are qualified to compare themselves to.

Those were truly the chosen ones.
As for ourselves and others
He was just one of the countless insignificant ordinary people.

Regarding Senior Brother Hongyang's sigh,
Shen Changchuan did not get caught up in the praise and maintained a positive attitude.

After some casual conversation,
Shen Changchuan then inquired with his senior brother Hongyang about the situation on the other side of the Demonic Path Alliance.

In particular, the demonic sect known as the Corpse Refining Sect.

When he came to the land of Nanyue, he was attacked several times by the patriarch of the Corpse Refining Sect.
If I hadn't been lucky, I probably would have died at their hands!

This hatred,
Shen Changchuan has never forgotten!

The reason he didn't retaliate immediately back then was simply because he didn't have enough power at the time.

A long time ago,

He made up his mind that once he was strong enough, he would definitely return to settle all grudges!
This is precisely why Shen Changchuan inquired about the Corpse Refining Sect.

Although he was not allowed to leave Broken Soul City at this time due to his master's requirements,
But Shen Changchuan believed,

Once the information from his master and the others arrives, he will eventually have time to leave Broken Soul City.

At that time,
That's the time to thoroughly settle all karmic debts!
This trip to see Senior Brother Hongyang was not only for a short meeting and chat, but also...
Shen Changchuan's target was the Corpse Refining Sect!
