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

Chapter 889 Inside Story, News (Two chapters combined)

Shen Changchuan met You Longzi, who had just emerged from seclusion, as soon as possible.

At this time, You Longzi,

The injuries from the failed attempt to break through to the Profound Core Realm have been fully recovered.

He reluctantly accepted the reality of his failure to break through.

What can be done about this?

Even if you don't accept it,
Whether you accept it or not
Reality is there.

It cannot be changed!

You Longzi's rise to his current position, from an ordinary inner disciple of the Immortal Sect to one of the Seven Prodigies of the Immortal Sect, is due to...

He was never a delicate flower in a greenhouse, and he never recovered from setbacks.

However, despite this,

But Shen Changchuan could still clearly see that the other person's temples had turned a bit grayer.

Furthermore, the previously hidden high spirits in his expression had dissipated, replaced by a hint of sadness.

Sitting opposite him, Shen Changchuan could more or less sense the regret in his heart.

Accepting reality is one thing,
But the regrets that exist in reality are not so easily erased.

not to mention,
Both his master and grandmaster placed their last hope for Wanren Peak on him.
They found him numerous rare and precious materials and countless valuable resources.
The purpose is to cultivate the next generation to support Wanren Peak.

result,

He failed!

He failed to live up to the expectations of Qian Yuan Zhenren and the Mountain Moving Ancestor.

Simultaneously,

This also meant that from then on, he almost completely cut himself off from the Xuan Dan realm.

Such a crushing defeat,
Even if you manage to accept it, how could it not affect your mood?
Shen Changchuan didn't know how to comfort him.

We can only hope that our master can overcome this trauma and continue on his path in the future.

After failing to break through to the Profound Core Realm the first time, the success rate of the second attempt was greatly reduced, but it was not zero.

Some people rise from the ashes, overcoming their failures and successfully reaching the Xuan Dan realm.

Such instances have occurred before in the history of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

"In the end, it was my carelessness that caused this."

"I anticipated that they wouldn't let me break through easily, so I wanted to take them by surprise and break through ahead of time, hoping to catch them off guard."

"But I didn't expect them to go so far as to collude with the Heavenly Demon Sect for this."

You Longzi sighed and looked at Shen Changchuan in front of him.

"Changchuan, joining Wanren Peak means you've fallen into a huge vortex."

“When you show the potential to break through to the Profound Core Realm, they will stop you at all costs.”

"Those who want to block your path are treacherous and cunning, and their vicious schemes are endless, making them impossible to guard against."

"You should take your master as a warning and be careful in everything you do."

"Your master and the others have made you stay in Broken Soul City to cultivate. Although this may seem like imprisonment, it is undoubtedly the best protection for you!"

"I hope you can be patient for a while. When you reach the Profound Core Realm, everything will finally come to an end!"

You Longzi's words carried a hint of earnest advice.

He knows
To remain hidden in one place, cultivating silently, without cheers or honors, suppressing oneself quietly, for at least a hundred years...
This is absolutely a cruel thing for a young person!
Even You Longzi himself, who could be considered to have a calm and detached nature,

But in his youth, he also hoped to become famous, to be admired and envied by countless people, to achieve great success, and to be a saint in front of others.

This is why various ranking lists attract countless talented individuals to pursue and compete for them.

Over a hundred years,

He concealed all the brilliance that should have belonged to him, living most of his life in obscurity.

Perhaps now, having experienced the ways of the world, You Longzi can do it.
But he can hardly imagine whether he could have endured this loneliness when he was younger.

That seems unlikely.

The same applies to Shen Changchuan!
Also because of this,

Regarding Shen Changchuan,
You Longzi could only try his best to persuade him.

"."

Faced with his master's heartfelt words, Shen Changchuan blinked.

He had no idea what the other person was thinking.
But I roughly understood what the other party meant.

This is because he felt that the price he might pay for hiding himself like this was too high, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to bear the loneliness of being unknown.

Forehead,
Shen Changchuan just wanted to say,

You're probably overthinking it.
For me, reputation brings nothing but trouble.

And my presence in Broken Soul City does not mean that I have not traveled the world.

of course,

Shen Changchuan thought to himself,

But he didn't say it out loud.

It wasn't that he didn't trust his master, but rather that there were some secrets that were not suitable to be revealed.

Even if one day he reaches the end of the immortal path in this cultivation world and ascends to immortality, whether or not he leaves the Dao Ancestor's legacy to his master will have no impact on him whatsoever.
But this legacy,
If one doesn't possess innate, extraordinary comprehension, or a special ability like one's own to retain memories,
It's not much different from self-harm.

"Don't worry, Master, I understand."

“Actually, Master, you don’t need to worry at all. In the past, if I didn’t need a reputation to exchange for resources, I would have preferred to stay in Dawan Village and cultivate quietly.”

"Now that I have the help of my two grandmasters in terms of cultivation resources, I lack nothing."

"The only goal now is to reach the peak of the Divine Ascension Realm, and finally cross the Xuan Dan Heavenly Barrier to achieve the Xuan Dan Realm in one fell swoop!"

"Before this, I didn't care about some trivial things."

Shen Changchuan replied, completely unconcerned.

But at this time,

He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking:
"Master, who exactly is plotting against you behind this?"

According to what Master just said,

It seems that the Heavenly Demon Sect was not the only one behind this?
this moment,
Shen Changchuan's expression turned ugly.

A glint of murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes.

"This matter is too far removed from your current situation. You should focus on your cultivation for now."

You Longzi shook his head.
He did not intend to add any hatred or burden to his most outstanding young disciple.

"I will tell you when you successfully enter the Profound Core Realm."

"If they succeed in their scheme, that's their skill, and I admire them."

"It's nothing but a distraction."

You Longzi patted Shen Changchuan on the shoulder.

However, despite what he said,
But Shen Changchuan could more or less sense the other party's resentment.

Right now, it's just that we have no choice but to accept it because we lack the strength.

Looking at the master before him who had taken such good care of him,
Shen Changchuan also secretly made up his mind.
When I advance to the Profound Core Realm in the future,

Even reaching a higher level,
We must settle all these scores!
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Since Master You Longzi emerged from seclusion,
Shen Changchuan also used the excuse of teaching to frequently visit You Longzi and chat with him. Seeing that his master had indeed accepted reality, Shen Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

And at this time,
A sensational piece of news spread throughout the six major regions of the Southeast Continent, attracting the attention of almost the entire cultivation world.

The joint competition initiated by the Jade Purity Immortal Sect recently concluded.

Xuan Daoji, a Daoist disciple from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, ultimately won first place.

but
This is not the most sensational news.

What caused the most sensation in the cultivation world, and nearly caused an uproar among countless cultivators, was—

In the final of the joint competition, Xuan Daoji demonstrated his progress in comprehending the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao Foundation, which was just one step away from being able to establish a foundation in the Heavenly Dao!
Not bad!

According to rumors, Xuan Daoji demonstrated 9.9% of the true meaning during the competition.
Just one step away from completing the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!
Although Xuan Daoji has not yet taken that final step.
But everyone knows that
The entire Jade Purity Immortal Sect will spare no effort to help it cross that final step!
This also means,

After 1,800 years, the Jade Purity Immortal Sect is finally about to produce its next genius who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao!
The six major domains of the Southeast Continent

In particular, the cultivation world of the thirty-six minor domains in the Southern Domain, which was ruled by the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, was almost in an uproar!

The topic was widely discussed in the streets and alleys, and among people before and after meals, spreading like wildfire.

Xuan Daoji's name spread throughout the world, and even the nearby cultivation areas had heard of him.

In the eyes of many cultivators,
The next era of cultivation in the Southern Domain has now been determined: the era of Xuan Daoji!
no doubt,

From that day on,

Xuan Daoji's name became the center of attention for countless people in the Southeast Continent!

When this news reached the southern Yue region...

Shen Changchuan was also somewhat surprised.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he is also a cultivator who has advanced from the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage to the Divine Travel stage, and even a step ahead of Xuan Daoji.

But he was very clear that,

The fact that I was able to achieve even a fraction of the true meaning was entirely due to the powerful cheat code!
If one relies on one's own comprehension, even if it takes hundreds of years, it is not certain that one can comprehend even one-tenth of the true meaning before reaching the Divine Travel Realm!

On the contrary,

Xuan Daoji has reached his current position step by step through his own efforts!

And so,

Shen Changchuan also truly felt the terror of Xuan Daoji, the Daoist disciple of the Immortal Sect!
"Truly, the world's talents are as numerous as carp crossing a river!"

"To be able to do that is truly admirable!"

"If it weren't for my existence, and the cheat code of the progress bar panel, this person would indeed be a figure who dominates the next era!"

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but sigh.

He actually had no ill intentions towards Xuan Daoji.

Although Shen Changchuan had a past feud with his cousin Xuan Tianxing
In fact, during those several encounters, Xuan Daoji did not resort to force or use his power to intimidate others.

Shen Changchuan had never formed any enmity with him.

He naturally had no objection to Daozi Xuandaoji.

in contrast,

This peerless genius, whose name has only been heard but whose face has never been seen,

Shen Changchuan only felt a strong desire to fight.

If I could exchange blows with him and witness the skills of such an unparalleled genius, it would be incredibly exhilarating!
Unfortunately, he probably won't have that chance before advancing to the Profound Core Realm.

Unexpectedly, they didn't even get to fight each other during the Immortal Sect Grand Competition.

What we are about to witness will become a regret for the next hundred years!

However, this slight regret in Shen Changchuan's heart
It faded away very quickly.

The other person is quite talented and will most likely be able to advance to the Profound Core Realm in the future.

A hundred years later, when I reach the Profound Core Realm...
Let's fight them again!
and,

Speaking of which, I possess the inheritance of the Dao Ancestor of Reincarnation, which allows me to split my spirit and enter the myriad realms to experience life, and the passage of time in the lower realms will be greatly expanded.

If everything goes smoothly and I absorb the resources brought back by the Nascent Soul Ascension, I will be able to rapidly improve my cultivation level.
It might be possible to shorten the process of advancing to the Profound Core Realm, which originally takes hundreds of years, to just a few decades!
I hope that when I break through my current level,
The opponent must have already broken through to a higher realm!
A thought flashed through my mind,

Shen Changchuan immediately stopped thinking about the other person and put him out of his mind.

have to say,

The sudden emergence of Xuan Daoji will undoubtedly attract a great deal of attention.

In this way, they can better hide themselves.

And the sensational news that the other party is expected to reach the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage.
The aftermath may linger for several years.
And after several years, given his low-key approach over the years, who will remember his existence?
Time flies and ages us all; a new generation replaces the old.

Although this is a summary narrative of the mortal martial arts world, it is not much different when placed in the world of cultivation.

not to mention,
After the joint competition,

The war against the Heavenly Demon Sect is probably about to begin!

At that time, the eyes of the cultivation world
They would be even less likely to notice that they have "run out of ideas" or "disappeared from the public eye".

"Mysterious Core, Mysterious Core. Only by achieving the Mysterious Core can one possess the power to transcend all others!"

"The plan to travel through worlds to obtain resources from other worlds must begin as soon as possible!"

Shen Changchuan pondered for a moment, his gaze becoming incredibly profound.

"In the meantime, let's add some common skills like hunter, fisherman, blacksmith, and doctor to the progress bar panel to prevent commoners from starving to death at the start."

"It also includes some general martial arts techniques such as strength, qi and blood, and swordsmanship."

"With these preparations, it should help to some extent to reduce the chance of a distracted start."

"After that, the time travel begins!"

Shen Changchuan silently weighed the situation in his mind.

Although it's unknown whether the "one certificate for eternity" ability on the progress bar panel still exists after the mind wandered through worlds and underwent the baptism of the laws of reincarnation,...
But at least, as long as the memory remains, those ordinary crafts will never be forgotten!
With these as "seed capital," we can at least speed things up a bit.

Shen Changchuan pondered this in his heart.

For the time being,

That's all he could think of.

If anything is missing, I will add it later.

With a goal,

Shen Changchuan then began to take action.

However, the problem is that Broken Soul City is now the central stronghold of the Righteous Alliance of the Immortal Cultivation World in the Southern Yue region, where it maintains a large military presence.

Its interior is rich in spiritual energy.

They also had to face the immense pressure from the Demon Alliance's elite troops in the Southern Yue region.

Also because of this,

In the City of Broken Souls, even cultivators at the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm are rarely seen.
Not to mention ordinary people!

Finding those mortal skills is impossible, at least in the City of Broken Souls!
However, if the collection is done by issuing tasks...
Shen Changchuan was somewhat hesitant.

Why should someone as a being in the Divine Realm collect things from mortals?
This bounty looks rather strange!
Given that he was once a prominent figure in the cultivation world, such bizarre behavior is bound to attract the attention of many people!
But rather,
This secret concerns one's very foundation.

Shen Changchuan didn't want to attract anyone else's attention.

This puts them in a dilemma.

of course,

This minor inconvenience only bothered Shen Changchuan for a moment.

He quickly came up with a plan—to send out his clones to collect the information!
