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

Chapter 892 Reflections, Taking Action (Two chapters combined)

at the same time,

Within the Greater Bay City,

Back mountain.

At this time, Han Yunpeng was the acting city lord of Dawan City, the third-generation patriarch of the Han family, and the son of Han Dayong.

He was respectfully leading the way for a young man behind him.

Chatting and laughing all the way, Han Yunpeng led the guests toward the old site of Dawancun.

When Han Yunpeng was born, Dawancun had already passed through the initial "arduous pioneering" period and was beginning to develop into a market town.
Therefore, he did not experience the difficult early years of Dawancun.

However, despite this,

But he was naturally aware of the struggle he had endured when he first arrived, starting from almost nothing.
It could even be said that they know it very well.

This is naturally because, since he was a child, his father, Han Dayong, often talked about his experiences of struggling in dangerous and difficult environments in the past.

So much so that every inch of land at the present-day Dawancun site holds countless stories of the past.

Such incidents include the crocodile demon that attacked villages on the riverbank during a torrential rain, the leeches that swarmed the mountains during the rainy season, and the swift falcons that attacked when the spirit fields ripened.
Han Yunpeng knew everything.

He described those things as if he had witnessed them firsthand.

The young man following behind him listened to Han Yunpeng's story while his gaze fell upon the dilapidated and backward-looking village before him.
A silent thought lingered in my mind, and my vision became somewhat unfocused.

According to Han Yunpeng,

The rise of Dawancun was a process of continuous outward expansion and relocation.

Therefore, the original site of this village has basically remained as it was back then.

Although some of the houses in the village were renovated and improved after the owners became successful, they are no longer the dilapidated wooden houses that used to be.

But in the eyes of the young man, it was still more dilapidated than the most run-down slums in the Great Immortal City!
Such scenes,

It's simply unimaginable.
How dilapidated Dawan Village was in the very beginning!

That person,
It was under these circumstances that
How did they rise step by step by fighting against those low-level monsters?
A thought flashed through the young man's mind.
His face was blank.

Although I had heard about Shen Changchuan's rise to power, and knew that he came from an extremely backward and impoverished place and spent countless efforts to climb up from the bottom step by step,
Finally, he ascended to the Immortal Sect, the largest stage in the Southern Domain, trampling countless privileged young talents under his feet and becoming famous throughout the world.

But he was born into a family of cultivators near the gates of a celestial sect.
It's simply unimaginable.
What exactly is this so-called extremely backward and barren land?
Until this time,
He left the Immortal Sect's mountain gate.

Having traveled hundreds of millions of miles to this Tiannan Region, I have witnessed firsthand the most backward cultivation world in the entire Southern Region.

When passing through Tiannan City
I originally thought that

That Tiannan City was already quite impoverished.

Unexpectedly, upon traveling further south to this Dawancheng, they came across the former site of Dawancun, where Shen Changchuan had lived for ten years.

He then realized that the other party's starting point was far lower than he had imagined!

What kind of village is this, Dawancun?

Is it really a place for people to live in?
Let alone other places in the cultivation world, even the royal palaces of mortal kingdoms, or the residences of high-ranking officials in ordinary countries, have living conditions that are far better than the so-called old site of Dawan Village!

Even during his growth process, Han Yunpeng mentioned those crocodile demons and swift falcons that were once considered formidable enemies and difficult to deal with.

Young people, in particular, possess an unspoken silence.

Those low-level demonic beasts at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining weren't even worthy of his attention!
because,

Even though his family wasn't considered very powerful in the area surrounding the Immortal Sect's mountain gate.

However, it was only after he successfully cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Induction Realm in the family academy that he was allowed to travel and gain experience in the outside world of cultivation.

To him, these low-level monsters were nothing more than livestock that he could easily crush and kill, just livestock on the dinner table.

But these were low-level demonic beasts that he could easily kill when he was just starting out.
Shen Changchuan of yesteryear now has to fight at great risk!
The young man had heard people say that Shen Changchuan came from a humble background.
I've also heard that Shen Changchuan is the illegitimate son of the head of a small family.

He used himself as an analogy.
Occasional speculations are nothing more than the fact that the family's cultivation resources were withheld during the growth process.

But he never imagined it would go this low!

When they were thirteen or fourteen years old and at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, they had to leave their families and come to this barren and dangerous wilderness to make a living, risking their lives to fight and killing, and worrying about threats from outside the village almost every moment.

This is something he couldn't even imagine!

Even more unimaginable is...
Despite starting from such a low point, Shen Changchuan was able to climb to the top step by step with his own strength, until he finally became the champion of the Immortal Sect Grand Competition that year!

This is simply unbelievable!

The young man believed that,

If it were me in that situation, relying on my own strength to succeed...
I'm afraid even advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is a pipe dream!

but,

On the other hand,

Perhaps it is precisely because they rose from the very bottom that they have the hope of saving Wanren Peak.
The young man stood there, gazing at the "utterly dilapidated" ruins of Dawang Village.

A certain thought flowed through my mind.

Seeing the young man fall into deep thought,
Han Yunpeng stood respectfully to the side, not uttering a word to disturb them.

Although his cultivation level was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, as the acting city lord of Dawan City, he was in charge of a massive city with a population of two to three hundred thousand, and he had a close relationship with Shen Changchuan, whose reputation was now renowned far and wide.

Therefore, in the past, even cultivators who had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm had to treat him with respect.

Although Han Yunpeng is not in a state of physical transformation, his position is equivalent to that of someone in a state of physical transformation!

Under these circumstances,

Those who need him to personally guide them and explain things carefully as a guide are naturally important people!
He is indeed a big shot.

The young man comes from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and is a direct disciple of the sect, a being at the Divine Travel Realm!
But if Shen Changchuan were here...

You can definitely tell at a glance.
The young man standing there, stunned, was none other than Senior Brother Hou Ping!

After standing there for a while, Senior Brother Hou Ping...

I just came to my senses.

"Feel sorry."

"Overthinking caused me to lose focus for a moment."

Hou Ping nodded to Han Yunpeng in apology.

"You're too kind, senior."

"It is my honor to host you."

Hou Ping nodded without saying anything more.

At this time, he

Looking again at the dilapidated Dawan Village, a complex expression appeared on his face.

The reason he came here this time
The main purpose was to transport a batch of high-level cultivation resources to Shen Changchuan, who was located in the Southern Yue region.

This matter was originally something that Grandmaster Qian Yuan was supposed to personally handle.

But recently,
In the joint competition,

Dao Zi Xuan Dao Ji demonstrated nine-tenths of his progress in comprehending the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, just one step away, which provoked a fierce reaction from some hostile forces. In particular, the Heavenly Demon Sect went to great lengths to incite chaos and try to kill Dao Zi halfway through his journey.

to this end,

The higher-ups of the Immortal Sect had to be cautious and mobilized most of their forces to deal with the situation.

The two patriarchs of Wanren Peak had each accepted missions from the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect to deal with the turmoil caused by the Heavenly Demon Sect.

then,

The resources collected by the two elders were then handed over to him, who was acquainted with Shen Changchuan.

Let him make this trip.

to be frank,
Amidst the turmoil and storms at Wanren Peak,

He didn't quite understand why the two elders placed all their hopes on Shen Changchuan.

Since his last hope, Martial Uncle You Longzi, failed to break through to the Profound Core Realm,

Now, all the prospective disciples of Wanren Peak have scattered like birds and beasts, leaving Wanren Peak completely empty.
The two ancestors paid no attention and continued to travel around collecting resources.

Even some immortal cities, mines, and high-level resource production that were once under the control of Wanren Peak, which were the foundation of Wanren Peak, were sold off by the two ancestors at various low prices in exchange for more cultivation resources for the Divine Travel Realm to supply Shen Changchuan's cultivation.

This kind of behavior

In Hou Ping's view, it was truly incomprehensible!
Yes,
Shen Changchuan's talent is indeed outstanding!

But no matter how outstanding he is, he is still just a junior who has just entered the Divine Realm!
Such a desperate gamble, practically bankrupting themselves by betting their last chips on a junior who has only just entered the Divine Realm,
Is this really reasonable?

just,

These were all decisions made by the two ancestors.
He can neither interfere nor change it.

All I could do was stand back and watch silently.

But this also made him more curious about Shen Changchuan.

So, while transporting resources to the Southern Yue region, when passing through the Tiannan Domain, he decided to visit the place where Shen Changchuan had once risen to power.

I want to see the other person grow up with my own eyes.

Can they truly shoulder the heavy responsibility of ensuring the survival of Wanren Peak?

You won't know until you leave.

This time,
This immediately stirred up a myriad of emotions in Hou Ping.

Now, he

Although there was still some skepticism about the two elders placing all their last hopes on Shen Changchuan.
But there is no doubt that Shen Changchuan will rise to prominence in the future.

"To rise above such circumstances and reach the pinnacle of the new generation in the Southern Region in just a few decades."

"My junior brother's talent, as well as his resolve and perseverance, are far beyond what I can compare to!"

"I only hope that you, junior brother, will not ultimately disappoint the expectations of the two patriarchs. Alas."

Many thoughts flashed through Hou Ping's mind, and he let out a long sigh.

While pondering,

He suddenly seemed to sense something, and his steps faltered.

Suddenly turning around,
Looking at the sky behind me,
His pupils contracted sharply at that moment!
At the same moment,

"Hahaha!"

Faced with Wan Zunli's questioning, the Seven Absolutes Old Demon did not get angry, but instead laughed loudly.

The laughter stirred up the winds and clouds above the ninth heaven, and visible ripples swept outwards, shattering the surrounding clouds.

at the same time,

That immense aura descended from the heavens.

At that moment, the entire Greater Bay Area seemed to have fallen into an abyss!

Countless people in the city stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

But the entire sky was visible.
It dimmed at that moment.

The sunlight seemed to be completely swallowed up by some terrifying force, and the sky turned dark and deep!

"Boy, you dare to question me?"

"Hmph! Although that old ghost destroyed my strongest physical body and shattered ninety-nine percent of my soul in that incident a few years ago, so what?!"

"How could mortals possibly comprehend the Seven Deadly Seals of this seat!"

"That old ghost with no future is only relying on his early attainment of Dao. When I break through to the Profound Core stage one day, I will repay him a thousandfold!"

"Now, let's collect interest from his apprentice!"

The voice of the Seven Deadly Demons resounded throughout the heavens and earth at that moment.
Accompanied by an unimaginable, terrifying pressure, it suddenly swept across the entire sky!
Standing beside him at this moment, Wan Zunli almost lost his footing and nearly fell down under the impact of this terrifying pressure!

Cold sweat poured down his head.

but,

Under such terrifying pressure, Wan Zunli was both shocked and overjoyed.

It's just the release of aura.
Even though he had already achieved the Divine Travel Realm, he was powerless to resist!

Such formidable strength,
This situation,

If Shen Changchuan falls into it...
Then he would surely die!

"Hmph! Watch my methods!"

With a cold snort,

As the Seven Deadly Demons finished speaking,
The dark, heavy clouds gathered in the sky, forming a huge vortex that seemed to swallow up a large part of the sky, creating a dark abyss where one could not see their own hand in front of their face, and shrouding the entire city of Dawan!
Then,

Boom! ! !
With a violent tremor and roar, the entire world shook violently.

It is evident that
A gigantic black hand, as vast as the sky, descended from the heavens like the hand of a god, threatening to obliterate and destroy everything in the world!

The immense power shattered the space it passed through like a mirror!

Destruction is coming!

Within the Greater Bay City,

Countless people looked up at the sky.
He stood frozen in place, staring at the colossal hand that seemed to destroy the sky, his heart sinking into an abyss of boundless despair!

Dead!
The terrifying aura emanating from it alone was enough to give everyone a sense of despair, a feeling that there was no way to escape or avoid it!
no doubt,

Under this immense power, the Greater Bay Area will be destroyed in the next moment!
however,
At this very moment,
"Who dares to cause trouble here!"

A roar, echoing from the mountains behind Da Wan City, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

boom! ! !
A staff radiating a dazzling golden light shot up from the ground and flew straight towards the massive black hand that was slamming down from the sky above.

Boom! ! !
The golden, towering pillar collided with the black, gigantic hand.
In an instant, a boundless and terrifying explosion occurred, and the terrifying shockwave swept in all directions. At that moment, the surrounding space was distorted in large swathes like waves!

The unparalleled force of the collision, along with the impact, was unleashed in all directions!
At this moment, the entire sky was like a curtain that had been raised to create huge waves!
