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

Chapter 869 Killing Intent, Method (Two chapters combined)

"It turned out to be true!"

Broken Soul City
Backyard

Master Qian Yuan stared blankly at Shen Changchuan before him for a moment.

Before they arrived,
He had originally thought that You Longzi's description of the true meaning was only a hair's breadth away from reaching one-tenth of its full potential.
The first-tier cities account for approximately 8% to 9%.

There's still a gap of one or two percent in their level of understanding.

It was just a hair's breadth away!
not to mention,
When he last met Shen Changchuan, he had only just begun to grasp the true meaning of the Myriad Paths Diagram, a reward from the Immortal Sect.

It's only been a few years?
It seems like it's only been two or three years.

For these supreme experts at the Profound Core Realm, this amount of time is practically equivalent to the time it takes to take a nap!

According to his and the Mountain Moving Ancestor's ideas
In just a few years, even with his special talent, it is already incredibly incredible that he has been able to improve his understanding of the true meaning to eight or nine percent!
After all, they are very clear about this.
Even when one reaches the Out-of-Body stage, the path to comprehending the true meaning is extremely difficult and far from easy!
Although the current Qian Yuan Zhenren and the Mountain Moving Ancestor are the strongest in the Xuan Dan realm.

But they were all beings who had climbed up step by step from the Qi Refining Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm.

Rather than being a supreme expert who was born at the Profound Core Realm.

Having personally experienced that stage, they naturally understand the difficulties involved.

To elevate one's understanding of true meaning to one-tenth of the level when reaching the Out-of-Body stage is an achievement that may not be attainable even after decades of effort!
Moreover, Shen Changchuan only took a few years.

To know,
The difficulty of achieving the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is so great that in the entire Southern Domain cultivation world controlled by the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, there is only a chance of producing another one in nearly two thousand years!
Even they, and most of the Xuan Dan realm experts still alive in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect today, had not yet established their foundation in the Heavenly Dao in the past!

This shows that

The difficulty of comprehending the true power of intention when in the state of out-of-body experience.

Also because of this,

Before setting off,
Master Qian Yuan naturally assumed that Shen Changchuan was only one step away from successfully establishing his foundation in the Heavenly Dao.

There should still be about 10% or 20% of progress remaining.

But until this moment,
He came to Shen Changchuan in person.
After seeing him unleash the power of his profound understanding without reservation,
Qian Yuan Zhenren finally realized that he and his master, the Mountain Moving Ancestor, were wrong!
Big mistake!

When You Longzi said that there was only a hair's breadth between them, it really was only a hair's breadth!
That "line" means just a tiny bit.

It's already very close to 10%!

That was more than ten times smaller than the one or two percent they initially thought!

They ultimately underestimated Shen Changchuan.
The opponent's talent,
Ultimately, it exceeded their expectations!
"To have achieved so much in just over two years!"

"Now, I finally believe that your future is destined to be at the Profound Core Realm!"

Even though Qian Yuan Zhenren and Ban Shan Lao Zu had experienced over a thousand years, roamed the Central Plains cultivation world, and witnessed countless geniuses throughout the centuries,

They had never seen Shen Changchuan possess such terrifying talent before!

Master Qian Yuan looked at Shen Changchuan, who stood respectfully before him.
My mind had already calmed down several days ago when I set off.
This moment has once again stirred up a storm!

Simultaneously,

This also ignited a tremendous ambition within him!

Such talent, such talent... even reaching the Profound Core Realm might not be the beginning or the end!
this moment,
Even Master Qian Yuan's breathing became somewhat heavy.

The future is promising!

Wan Renfeng's future looks promising!

Not only will their lineage be able to continue, but it is also possible that in the near future, it will be carried forward and developed because of Shen Changchuan!
In a short while,

Only then did Master Qian Yuan manage to suppress the turmoil in his heart!
But at the same time,

A thought also flashed through his mind.

This matter, concerning Shen Changchuan's talent, must not be revealed in the slightest!
"You Longzi, besides you, who else knows about Changchuan's talent?"

"In this Broken Soul City, there is another one of the Seven Immortal Sect's disciples, Ming Xuanyang. Does he know anything about him?"

Master Qian Yuan's gaze was profound.

Deep in the eyes,

A murderous intent flashed and disappeared!
The killing intent was so chilling.
So much so that Shen Changchuan and his apprentice You Longzi, who were standing in front of him, were almost startled.
"Ah, Master, it shouldn't be that bad!"

At that moment,

You Longzi broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Ming Xuanyang knows some things, but not much."

immediately,

He then explained the general situation of Ming Xuanyang.

Ming Xuanyang's impression of Shen Changchuan should still be based on the fact that Shen Changchuan's progress in comprehending the true meaning was close to 70% six months ago.

Since arriving in Broken Soul City, Shen Changchuan has neither seen the other party nor shown the power of True Intent to them.

Unbeknownst to them, Shen Changchuan's understanding of the true meaning had already reached a point where he was only a hair's breadth away from achieving one-tenth of the goal.

"So it is somewhat unbelievable that the progress of understanding is less than seven-tenths, but the Immortal Sect has not been without geniuses who have comprehended the true meaning to this extent over thousands of years."

"Ming Xuanyang might think Shen Changchuan had a chance to successfully establish his foundation in the Heavenly Dao, but he could never have imagined that Changchuan would have such incredible talent!"

You Longzi then gave a brief analysis.

The Jade Purity Immortal Sect, after all, rules over thirty-six minor domains and boasts countless geniuses.

Despite the fact that no one has been able to successfully establish a foundation in the Heavenly Dao for nearly two thousand years.

But during this period,

There are also many prodigies who are considered to be promising talents who have the potential to achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

There have been instances where, during the Astral Projection stage, one has grasped six or seven tenths of the true meaning, achieving a certain level of comprehension.

As far as You Longzi knew,
I've heard that when the Ancestor of Moving Mountains was at the peak of the Out-of-Body realm, he once comprehended the true meaning to the level of eight-tenths.

After careful consideration, he realized that it was virtually impossible to comprehend even a tenth of the true meaning before the age of one hundred and thus advance to the Divine Travel Realm. Therefore, he abandoned the path of Heavenly Dao Foundation Building and directly entered the Divine Travel Realm.

Also because of this,

Although Ming Xuanyang knew about some of Shen Changchuan's talents, it didn't actually have a significant impact.

This might attract the attention of some lesser figures.

However, for those at the Profound Core Realm, they probably wouldn't care too much.

After saying that,
Master Qian Yuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed considerably, though he still seemed to retain some hesitation.

“Master, it’s actually a good thing to reveal part of Changchuan’s talent now.”

"After all, only when Changchuan's talent is appropriately 'exposed' can our attention and protection be seen as reasonable by outsiders."

"If Changchuan encounters any crisis in the future, our personal protection will not arouse too much suspicion."

"Moreover, if that guy Xuan Yang dies here, it might attract a thorough investigation from the Immortal Sect and draw the attention of those high-ranking Xuan Dan realm cultivators, which would be detrimental to Chang Chuan's ability to remain hidden."

As You Longzi finished speaking,

Master Qian Yuan nodded, and his brows finally relaxed completely.

"That's true."

"It was I who was too anxious and for a moment I lost my senses."

Master Qian Yuan let out a long breath.

He barely managed to suppress the intense emotions surging within him, and reason returned. With his thousands of years of knowledge and life experience, he should have been able to do more than this.

But how do you say that?

Concern leads to chaos!

Furthermore, Shen Changchuan's hidden talent is truly terrifying; if outsiders were to discover it...
Not to mention that the Heavenly Demon Sect, a mortal enemy, would definitely do everything in its power to suppress it.

Even fellow disciples of the Immortal Sect would probably not stand idly by and watch Shen Changchuan grow up like this.

Overly worried

Instinctively, I want to nip all news in the bud.

That won't do.
Master Qian Yuan reflected on his actions in his heart.

At this time,
What he didn't notice was that

The man standing before You Longzi couldn't help but secretly wipe away a cold sweat.

How cruel!

In his memory, his master was clearly kind and benevolent, treating everyone and everything with kindness.

He was willing to kill anyone just to cover up the news.

Such a master,
It felt quite unfamiliar to him!

And on the other side,
Shen Changchuan stood still, not daring to utter a word upon seeing this scene.

After a long while,

The atmosphere around us eased up a bit.

Master Qian Yuan regained his composure and looked at Shen Changchuan on the other side, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face.

"Good child, your grandmaster underestimated you. I never expected your talent to be so strong. However, this has put your grandmaster in a bit of a dilemma."

Without waiting for Shen Changchuan's reply,

Master Qian Yuan then continued:

"Originally, according to my expectations, your progress in comprehending the true meaning should be around 80 or 90%. I brought the precious Time Fruit of Green Wood Peak for you to consume and refine. It will take you two years to reach 99. Then you can go back to find a place to cross the final threshold and complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment."

"But I didn't expect that your progress in comprehending the true meaning has already reached such a level, just one step away from completion. I do have the Fruit of Time with me, but the commotion generated during the Foundation Establishment of the Heavenly Dao can easily be sensed by other Profound Core Realm cultivators, thus leaking the information."

“If we take you back to Wanren Peak now, Wanren Peak is not yet prepared to seal off any signs of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Even if they were prepared temporarily, your sudden return to Wanren Peak, followed by the reappearance of that formation shortly afterward, would inevitably raise suspicions.”

Between talking,

Master Qian Yuan's expression was one of genuine distress.

The foundation of Heaven's Way

It's not something that can be done just anywhere.

And it will exhibit some special fluctuations during the promotion process.

That kind of fluctuation is somewhat similar to the one experienced when advancing to the Profound Core stage.
But its power is much less.

Even so, it is still easy for people to discover.

Concealing the news isn't so easy.

perhaps,

Should I take him directly to Zhongzhou?
In an instant, only one thought flashed through Qian Yuan Zhenren's mind.

but,

At this time,

"Master, perhaps I have a way."

You Longzi raised his head and looked at Qian Yuan Zhenren with a burning gaze.

After a few days,

The cave dwelling behind the city of Broken Souls
Shen Changchuan sat cross-legged on the white jade futon, reflecting on the events of the past few days, his face falling into deep thought.

On that day, after Master You Longzi's explanation,
The grandmaster agreed to You Longzi's plan.

some of,
Shen Changchuan basically had no chance to interject.

In fact,
He also lacked the ability to interrupt.

Although his current progress in comprehending the true meaning has reached 9.9%, he still doesn't have a very clear understanding of the process of establishing a foundation in the Heavenly Dao.

He had no idea what the special fluctuations that his grandmaster had mentioned might occur during the advancement process.

It was only vaguely understood that the emergence of that special fluctuation seemed to be related to the advancement from the peak of the Divine Travel Realm to the Profound Core Realm.
That is precisely why cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao can directly leap into the Profound Core Realm simply by raising their comprehension of the true meaning to 100% completeness.

Shen Changchuan, who was unaware of the specifics of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building,
They also naturally lack the ability to interrupt and participate in the plan.

However, regarding this,

Shen Changchuan didn't really care.

"No matter what, as long as I can complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, that's enough!"

"Once I establish my foundation in the Heavenly Dao and advance to the Divine Travel Realm, I will be able to use the inheritance of the Lord of Reincarnation to travel to other worlds, obtain resources from those worlds, and rapidly improve myself!"

"Moreover, judging from the way my grandmaster looks, it seems that once I advance to the Divine Travel Realm, they will spare no effort to raise my cultivation level to the Profound Core Realm. The road ahead should not be too difficult."

Shen Changchuan has an extremely clear understanding of his goals.

In fact,
At that time, Shen Changchuan was quite pleased.

He didn't expect that after revealing his talent, he would actually receive strong support.

Even our grandmaster brought precious rare and precious materials to this place.

The name "Year Fruit" itself suggests that it's no ordinary product.

This has shortened the 0.1% threshold, which might have previously taken at least several years to cross, to a point where it could be surpassed at any time.

One can establish a foundation in the Heavenly Dao and enter the Divine Travel Realm at any time!

How could he not be overjoyed?
Of course,
The reason why my grandmaster and the others gave such strong support was mainly because of the special talent I described.

If it weren't for that so-called special talent,

I'm afraid my grandmasters and the like would never expend so much effort and resources on me.
Even if one is unable to establish a foundation in the Heavenly Dao, or if one is unable to demonstrate that special talent after establishing a foundation in the Heavenly Dao, that tremendous support will soon vanish.

But regarding this,
Shen Changchuan didn't care at all.

The exchange of benefits and mutual benefit is the very essence of this world.

Don't say anything else,

Even the closest family ties,

If parents could foresee their baby's future from the beginning, knowing that the child would be rebellious, beat them, and kick them out when they get old, they probably wouldn't have much affection for the baby.

Therefore,
As for the idea that his grandmaster and others were only kind to him because they valued his talent,

Shen Changchuan harbored no resentment whatsoever.

"Next, all we need to do is wait for the plan to begin!"

Thinking about the later cultivation levels,
A wave of emotion rose in Shen Changchuan's heart.
