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

Chapter 897 Sigh, The Record of the Demon Devouring God (Three Chapters Combined)

A group of people entered the gate of Qijue Mountain.
Nothing unexpected happened.

It's likely that the Seven Deadly Demons left without informing his subordinates.

As a result, the protective formation of Seven Absolutes Mountain developed many loopholes.

It shouldn't have been like this in the first place.

Several years ago,

In the battle where Master Qian Yuan suddenly attacked the Demonic Alliance's stronghold in the Southern Yue region...
The Seven Deadly Demons, with only a wisp of his soul remaining, escaped back to Seven Deadly Demons Mountain. He then summoned all his disciples who were outside, activated the mountain-protecting formation, severed all communication with the outside world, and completely sealed the mountain gate.

At that time, the Seven Absolutes Mountain was so well-defended that it was virtually impenetrable!

but,

Even cultivators cannot keep their minds constantly tense.

With the Seven Deadly Demons having passed through the most dangerous phase,
Strength gradually recovers.

The previously tense Qijue Mountain gradually began to show signs of relaxation.

After all, for the entire Seven Absolutes Sect, the Old Demon is the pillar of stability—if he is well, the sect will feel at ease.

This was a decision made by the Seven Absolutes Old Demon, the undisputed powerful figure of Seven Absolutes Mountain!
Not long ago,

Wan Zunli came to the mountain gate to plot a joint attack on Shen Changchuan.

During the journey, the Seven Absolutes Old Demon briefly unleashed a powerful Divine Travel Realm aura, which was clearly perceived by everyone on and around Seven Absolutes Mountain.

At that time, the disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect appeared outwardly calm, continuing their rigorous and diligent patrols of the mountain gate.
At most, they all turned their gazes towards the mountain gate, exchanging glances with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

But therefore,

The tension that had been building up throughout the Seven Absolutes Mountain for several years suddenly eased!
This is not difficult to understand.

You know, in recent years,
They were worried about being attacked by the righteous alliance, who would destroy their mountains and temples, or about being killed by the Seven Absolutes Sect's old enemies.

From the disciples to the elders and deacons, everyone in the Seven Absolutes Sect lived in constant fear, their minds always on edge, cautiously guarding against external enemies.

Those kinds of days take a toll on a cultivator's mental energy!
When the Seven Absolute Old Demon's aura at the Divine Travel Realm level erupted.
This definitively signals the return of their strength.
The disciples, elders, and deacons of the Seven Absolutes Sect, who had been under immense pressure for years, naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

As is well known,

When a taut string is finally released, that is when it is at its most relaxed state!
after all,

The patriarch has returned and regained his strength.

Are there still some reckless fools who would dare to attack Seven Absolutes Mountain at a time like this?

Impossible!
then,

Shen Changchuan easily broke through the defenses of Qijue Mountain.

Before the news of the Seven Deadly Demons' death reached them...

Shen Changchuan perfectly exploited the information gap.

He easily infiltrated the core of the mountain-protecting formation.

He casually destroyed the array's core.
Since then,

The demonic cultivators within the entire Seven Absolutes Mountain became easy prey for Shen Changchuan's clones.

However, Seven Absolutes Mountain is ultimately within the territory of the Demonic Path Alliance.

Therefore, Shen Changchuan did not dare to stay any longer.
He subdued several powerful elders with his strength, killed several others to establish his authority, and then used the Soul Searching Technique to force them to reveal the location of the treasury and how to open it.

He then ordered the prisoners to scout ahead and quickly opened the treasury gate. Without even taking a closer look, he stored all the contents inside into his storage ring.

From mountains of spirit stones to rare and precious materials, to various minerals, magical artifacts, and elixirs, he devoured them all into his spatial ring without even glancing at them, as if swallowing a whale whole!
During the journey, Shen Changchuan also discovered some clues with his extremely profound spiritual power. He eventually found a hidden underground compartment inside the treasury and took away several jade slips that looked somewhat worn.

After the treasury hidden deep within the Seven Absolutes Mountain was lifted into the air...

Shen Changchuan then left directly.

Disappeared into the vastness of heaven and earth.
Finally, with a huge haul, they successfully returned to Broken Soul City.

"Heavenly Soul Nourishing Immortal Mushroom, Soul Crystal Jade Marrow, Nine Netherworld Pure Lotus, Soul Nourishing Mysterious Crystal Jade, as well as Spirit Condensing and Soul Restoration Pill, and Star Marrow Soul Nourishing Pill."

"Hiss! There are so many treasures that can restore the soul?"

When Shen Changchuan took stock of the numerous rare and precious materials that his avatar had brought from the Seven Absolutes Mountain's treasury,
Even though he was somewhat prepared, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

It's simply because there are so many of these things, and they are all so precious!

The points that Shen Changchuan made,

These are all treasures that can nourish the soul, restore the power of the soul, and even enhance the soul through cultivation!
In the world of immortal cultivation,

Anything related to the soul is incredibly precious!
Such as the Biyuan water plants when Shen Changchuan first arrived in Dawan Village.

Even a small, first-tier Azure Essence Waterweed caused quite a bit of chaos at the time.

But these things right now

It is much higher grade than the Biyuan aquatic plants that caused such a stir in the remote wasteland near Dawan Village back then!

Because most of them are third-order beings!
Among them was even a near-fourth-tier being—the Heavenly Soul Nourishing Immortal Herb!
This thing can even enhance the divine sense of a supreme expert at the Profound Core Realm!
So many high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth that can affect the soul,

Even two patriarchs at the Profound Core Realm would probably find it difficult to collect them in a short period of time!

Moreover, in such quantities,
It's simply unbelievable!

For a time,

Shen Changchuan's heart started pounding.

I took several deep breaths.

Shen Changchuan finally managed to calm down his excited state of mind.

His eyes gleamed, and his lips curled up slightly.

"Not bad, it was a pleasant surprise."

"Moreover, with these things, we no longer need to trouble our grandmaster and the others to restore our divine soul power!"

"Moreover, such a quantity is more than enough to restore the spiritual power I have lost, and there is even a considerable amount left over for future reserves!"

These precious natural treasures were classified one by one.

Shen Changchuan was in a great mood.

It wasn't just because he no longer needed to trouble his grandmasters who had been running around for his cultivation.

More importantly, these things were exactly what he needed.

Furthermore, if several more of his divine soul clones die in the future, he will be able to recover his divine soul power in time and create new divine soul clones!

"Speaking of which, these things were probably prepared by that Seven Deadly Demons for himself!"

While classifying and organizing,

The same thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

That's very likely the case!

To know,
Several years ago, when faced with the surprise attack of True Man Qian Yuan, that Seven Absolute Old Demon abandoned his body and most of his soul. Only a wisp of his remnant soul, combined with the strange methods he cultivated, was able to possess and be reborn in the mind of his disciple.

However, almost none of its remaining soul remains!

To recover to one's peak condition in a short period of time, one would naturally need to consume a large amount of rare and precious herbs and elixirs that can nourish or restore the soul!

these things,

It was most likely something he was preparing for his own recovery!

Even before this, he probably had already expended some energy to recover his fighting strength!
"It seems that the old ghost's stash is mostly here."

"My guess should be right. In that battle several years ago, only a wisp of the Seven Deadly Ghosts' soul escaped back. His storage bag and body were destroyed."

"Not wanting to repeat the same mistake, the old ghost could only store all his stored wealth in the heavily guarded treasury of Seven Absolutes Mountain, so that he could make a comeback if he failed in the future!"

"I never expected that his consideration would actually benefit me!"

Imagine the opponent's storage ring, along with the Seven Deadly Ghosts, vanishing into thin air above the Great Bay City.
At this moment, Shen Changchuan

It inevitably evoked a feeling of having lost something and then regained it.

After sorting and storing these precious items, Shen Changchuan didn't look at the other things, such as spirit stones, mineral materials, magic tools, and spiritual artifacts.

No matter how good these things are, they are basically external things and don't have much use for Shen Changchuan right now.

Its only use is to put it on the market and exchange it for some spirit stones to use for cultivation!
I glanced at it briefly.
Shen Changchuan glanced at them and casually piled them in a corner of his storage ring, waiting to deal with them later.

Subsequently,

His gaze was fixed on the few tattered jade slips he had taken from a hidden compartment in the Seven Absolutes Mountain's treasury.

In fact,
Before leaving Seven Absolutes Mountain
Shen Changchuan also casually ransacked their library.

They seized a large number of jade slips containing various records.

But it is obvious that,

How could the common items in the library compare to the jade slips that the Seven Deadly Demons had hidden in a secret compartment of the treasury?
It was kept so carefully.
They were afraid that outsiders would find out.

Regarding the contents recorded in these jade slips
Shen Changchuan was filled with curiosity.

After a thorough inspection,
It was confirmed that there were no traps or tampering in the jade slip.

Shen Changchuan then channeled his divine sense into it to browse the information within.

. . . . . .
time flies,
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days,

Nothing noteworthy happened.

The outside world is still focused on the matter of the Immortal Sect's Daoist disciple, Xuan Daoji, advancing from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Divine Travel Realm.

The rival sects were like a thorn in their side, secretly plotting and scheming against them.

The Immortal Sect's higher-ups were on high alert and did their best to strengthen the defenses around Xuan Daoji.

Passersby and onlookers were simply waiting to see what would happen.

gaze,

It was no longer in such a remote place as the Southern Yue region.

Even the death of the Seven Deadly Ghosts did not cause much of a stir.

The outside world doesn't seem to care much about this, perhaps because most people know that the Seven Deadly Demons suffered a severe injury at the hands of True Man Qian Yuan several years ago.

Only a few years have passed, and even if they were lucky enough to survive, their strength would probably be far less than before.

In this situation, death is simply death, and it doesn't warrant much attention.

Even the breaching of Seven Absolutes Mountain did not cause much of a stir.

At most, it would just be some demonic cultivators regretting it so much they would beat their chests and stamp their feet.

If we had known that the Seven Absolutes Mountain was so poorly defended, we would have attacked long ago!
As cultivators on the demonic path, they had no sympathy for their fellow practitioners.
in contrast,

They missed out on such a huge fortune.
This immediately filled them with regret.

Also because of this,

In the past few days,
In this land of Southern Yue, the cultivation world...
Overall, things remained calm.

The only thing that made Shen Changchuan end his seclusion midway was when his senior brother Hou Ping took his leave.

Shen Changchuan needed to personally escort her out of the pass.

After all, they came specifically to provide resources and even helped with the aftermath of the Greater Bay Area development. They've helped so much...
How could Shen Changchuan possibly be disrespectful to the other party?

At the very least, I should personally deliver it.

Faced with Shen Changchuan's personal farewell,
Hou Ping's expression was complex.

The junior brother who I could easily defeat back then has grown to a point that I can't even understand in just a few years!
Shen Changchuan was standing right in front of him at that moment.

But in his perception, the person in front of him was just an ordinary, unremarkable person.

But having experienced that battle over the Great Bay City
How could Hou Ping possibly take Shen Changchuan as an ordinary person?

That's the only explanation.
In other words, the opponent's strength is far superior to his own!

So high that he couldn't even sense the threat from the other party!

This result left Hou Ping feeling somewhat dejected, and he finally let out a long sigh.

in fact,

Above the city of Dawan, I witnessed Shen Changchuan's incredible ability to create clones and the earth-shattering sword strike he unleashed at the end.

Hou Ping knew this in his heart.
This junior brother Shen, who is highly regarded by the two grandmasters, is probably already far stronger than me!
However, when helping to handle the aftermath of the Greater Bay Area project,
Hou Ping was somewhat unwilling to give up, so he had an idea: after going to Broken Soul City, he would ask Shen Changchuan for some advice!
Let's witness the true power of the opponent's true form!

Look at how big the gap is between him and me.

Although Hou Ping knew that requesting a sparring match would most likely end in a crushing defeat for him.

But such sparring and fighting...

It should be able to bring some inspiration and benefits to oneself, more or less.

It would be even better if we could learn from the experience of our junior brother Shen Changchuan in rapidly improving!

however,
The moment Hou Ping saw Shen Changchuan's true form inside Broken Soul City,
suddenly,
All his thoughts were extinguished!

I felt completely relieved!
The reason for this is quite simple.
Those who fall behind, if they can still see the backs of those in front, may still feel the competitive spirit to catch up.

But when the distance between them is too great,

Even after you can't see the other person's back anymore,
In this situation,
All the desire to win is now meaningless!

The moment I saw Shen Changchuan,
That's exactly how Hou Ping felt.

He challenged Shen Changchuan to a duel.
Unless the opponent deliberately holds back, it could be a battle like the one fought by the Education Bureau.
Otherwise, if Shen Changchuan were to unleash his true level of skill, I probably wouldn't even know what was happening before I was defeated!
In that instant when he could no longer sense Shen Changchuan's presence standing before him,
Hou Ping knew very well that
There is now an insurmountable chasm between me and this junior brother who had just recently sought my advice!
He still has some sense of shame, at least.
He was given guidance in a battle by a junior apprentice who had only recently started learning.
It was truly quite embarrassing.

Naturally, he completely abandoned the idea of ​​challenging Shen Changchuan to a duel.

However, despite this,

Hou Ping did not completely despair because of this.

Today the gap is like an insurmountable chasm, but one day we may catch up.

“Junior brother, you have undoubtedly taken a big step ahead of me now.”

"The gap between us now is so large that it makes me, your senior brother, despair."

"But I, your senior brother, will not give up!"

"I will continue to work harder to catch up with you. But you, don't get complacent and stop making progress. If one day my strength catches up with yours, I will definitely ask you for some advice!"

"Don't give me the chance to 'ask for advice'!"

Hou Ping said to Shen Changchuan with emotion.

Subsequently,

Without waiting for Shen Changchuan's response,

He immediately turned around and disappeared into the distant horizon as a streak of light.

Shen Changchuan stood still.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and just quietly watched the other person leave.

Shen Changchuan was not a worldly-wise or socially adept person.

But relying on his powerful divine soul,
You can still feel the inner turmoil and complex emotions emanating from Hou Ping.

thus,
Regarding the other party's thoughts,
Shen Changchuan also had a general idea.

just
"Senior brother, perhaps you'll never have the chance to catch up with me."

Silently reciting this sentence, Shen Changchuan's gaze drifted into the distance.

Having established a foundation in the Heavenly Dao, one's future is almost entirely smooth sailing.

In addition, there's the progress bar panel's function of providing permanent proof, and the great opportunity to receive the inheritance of the Reincarnation Ancestor.

future,

There is almost no chance that someone else will catch up with me!
After standing there for a while, the traces left in the sky by Senior Brother Hou Ping's departure completely disappeared.

Shen Changchuan then turned around and returned to his cave to continue studying the jade slips.

time flies,
The peaceful few days passed in a flash.

Shen Changchuan had already thoroughly read through the contents of the jade slip.

this day,
Shen Changchuan, sitting cross-legged in the cave, held the tattered jade slip in his hand. His eyes were as deep as an abyss, conveying a sense of unfathomable depth.

"The Record of the Primordial Demon Devouring God"

Shen Changchuan silently recited these words.

His gaze was fixed on the void before him, his eyes somewhat unfocused and uncertain.

He obtained a total of four jade slips from the hidden compartment of the Seven Absolutes Mountain Treasury.

Three of them,
It contains the upper, middle, and lower sections of a cultivation technique called the "Yuanmo Devouring God Record" that governs the path of the soul.

As for the fourth jade slip

It records the entire process of how the Seven Absolute Old Demon obtained the Yuan Demon Devouring God Record and passed a mysterious and unpredictable test, as well as his cultivation experience and understanding of the Yuan Demon Devouring God Record over the years.

The contents recorded in these four jade slips
Each one of them was far beyond Shen Changchuan's imagination!
First is the jade slip containing the three chapters of the Yuanmo Devouring God Record.

In this world, there are very few secret methods and cultivation techniques related to the spiritual realm.

Even with the long-standing heritage of Wanren Peak, this is still extremely rare!
Among them, those whose power level can reach the third tier, that is, the Divine Travel Realm level, are extremely rare!

And this Record of the Demon Devouring God
If Shen Changchuan is not mistaken, it is probably at least a fourth-order, or even higher, manual on the spiritual arts!

A quick glance at the entire text,
Shen Changchuan could understand to some extent why the Seven Absolute Old Demon possessed such strange and unpredictable methods, and how he was able to escape from his master's hands with only the cultivation of a peak Divine Travel Realm cultivator!

"Soul swapping, demonic seed differentiation, memory rebirth, possession of countless bodies"

"Hiss! Good heavens, there's actually such a bizarre inheritance in this world!"

"If it weren't for the progress bar panel, which is a reward for hard work, and the extraordinary existence of a certificate that is permanent, I would probably have doubted whether my so-called time travel and rebirth was a hoax created by someone else to fabricate illusory memories!"

to be frank,
After reading all three chapters of the Record of the Devouring God of the Primordial Demon
Even with Shen Changchuan's self-proclaimed extensive knowledge and experience within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, he was still deeply shocked!
Because the various methods and techniques recorded inside are extremely bizarre!
It's beyond my imagination!
such as,

The Record of the Devouring God of the Primordial Demon contains a method that can completely imprint a person's memories and infuse them into another person's mind, allowing the former's memories to completely overwrite the latter's.

A "reborn" has been created!
For example,
He instructed his disciples to cultivate a sub-section of the Yuanmo Devouring God Record, planting a demonic seed in their minds. This seed retained a trace of their original soul and all their memories.

Once the original body dies
Then the demonic seed in the disciple's mind will take root and sprout, drawing on the disciple's soul power as nourishment, growing rapidly, replacing the original body, and completing a kind of possession and rebirth!
This,

This is precisely why the Seven Deadly Ghosts are rumored to be incredibly versatile and impossible to kill!
All these methods,

He has almost taken the manipulation and control of the soul to the extreme!

So much so that just one glance at it makes it seem incredibly eerie!

After reading through all three parts of the Yuan Demon Devouring God Record,
The fourth jade slip records the Seven Absolutes Old Demon's understanding and insights into the cultivation of the Yuan Demon Devouring God Record, as well as the detailed process of how he obtained the Yuan Demon Devouring God Record in the past. Some other important secrets can also be understood.

because,

The secret method of the Yuanmo Devouring God Record is used to regenerate the demonic seed in the minds of disciples. During the process, some memories may be lost!
Under normal circumstances,
Ordinary cultivators, especially those of the demonic path, would never record the fundamental methods they cultivate, their insights and understanding of cultivation, or the process of acquiring these methods.

Even righteous cultivators rarely do such things, let alone demonic cultivators.

Because of the existence of the Divine Travel Realm, the divine soul was greatly strengthened.

For them, having a photographic memory is nothing special.

If you have a flash of inspiration or a trick during the cultivation process, there is no need to record it on paper.

However, if being reborn through a demonic seed leads to the loss of some memories...
Then everything becomes understandable.

after all,

If the demon seed is reborn but lacks the cultivation memories of the Yuan Demon Devouring God Record, wouldn't it be fatal?

They left their insights and experiences in cultivation within the jade slips.

Hide it, as a backup.

That's perfectly normal.

This,

This undoubtedly pleased Shen Changchuan as well.

Because this means,

I can quickly digest these things and make them my own!
Especially after I traveled through time,
The Record of the Devouring God of the Primordial Demon contains numerous methods and techniques for utilizing divine soul power.
Even after he travels through the world, he will still be able to play a significant role!
