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

Chapter 221 News
Yes!

The wealth that Dawancun can bring is certainly considerable.

But now he,
Even without this source of income, it wouldn't have much impact on his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The existence of Dawan Village does indeed bring him a considerable income from spirit stones.

Having more spirit stones can also bring more assistance.
But in fact,

Many things related to advancing to the Nascent Soul realm can no longer be bought simply with spirit stones.

The threat posed by the First Madam to him was based on the framework of the Shen family of Tiannan.

As long as he dares to abandon everything and leave the protection of the Shen family, the other party will not pose much of a threat to him.

The worst outcome,

Nothing more than that.

"Moreover, if I demonstrate the strength of the ninth level peak, perhaps I will gain the favor of the family's higher-ups and thus receive some protection?"

"In just over a year, I've gone from the peak of the third level of Qi Refining to the peak of the ninth level. That's far better than my twin brother Shen Chong. Even if there's infighting and power struggles within the family, and other branches sit idly by while my cheap father's family is in turmoil, waiting to see him make a fool of himself, they'll still show some goodwill towards the family's foreseeable future."

"Moreover, this turmoil involves power levels above the Nascent Soul stage, which may alarm even the family patriarch. If my achievements can catch the eye of the Shen family patriarch, then there will be even less to fear that Madam."

Thinking about this,
Shen Changchuan's tense mind also relaxed a lot.

of course,

Shen Changchuan was not the kind of person who would gamble his life and fortune in someone else's hands.

He would definitely be making the worst-case scenario preparations in secret.

Calm your mind,

Shen Changchuan's divine soul spread out, enveloping the entire Dawancun village.

Investigate the situation in Dawang Village.

at this time,

Although the entire village was initially thrown into chaos by the sudden and enormous disaster,
However, most of the ordinary people living in the village, including the children, were martial artists who possessed martial arts skills. Only martial artists could barely dig through the spirit field that was as hard as steel, so the collapse of the houses did not cause them much harm.

If martial artists are like this, then the cultivators in the commercial district are even more so.

Aside from a few people who were caught off guard and were resting in the restaurant or conducting business in the shop when they were suddenly buried under the collapsed building, resulting in them being covered in dust and dirt, there were hardly any injuries.

As the village guards quickly entered the scene...
The initial panic quickly subsided.

Seeing that my maternal grandfather, Han Qinhu, quickly led people into the scene to maintain order and gather the disaster relief efforts.

After thinking it over, Shen Changchuan decided not to show himself.

After all, his persona was only that of a Shen family disciple at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining.
It's normal to be a little frightened by this sudden and huge change.

Anyway, there's nothing important to do.
This also better suits the role he presents to the outside world.

"This identity cannot be exposed casually before the situation completely collapses. After all, no one knows what will happen next, or whether I can continue to pretend and hold the fort."

"We cannot easily abandon the financial resources of Dawancun just because of potential threats."

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

After staying for a while and confirming that nothing was wrong, Shen Changchuan's figure quietly disappeared from the height.

Returning to the courtyard halfway up the mountain,

Just as Shen Changchuan was still pondering his next move...

Suddenly, a figure transformed into a pink afterimage and pounced towards Shen Changchuan.

Before he could react, she grabbed his waist.

Shen Changchuan was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

The instinctive urge to retaliate

However, a fragrant breeze wafted by, and the expected attack did not occur.
Shen Changchuan looked down and realized it was Xiaoyu. He had just managed to suppress his urge to retaliate.

I felt a little relieved.

"Xiaoyu, you..." Shen Changchuan, who was drenched in a cold sweat, was about to say something,
But he could feel the little girl in front of him trembling all over, tears welling in her eyes as she sobbed softly, revealing a visible fear.

This little guy is terrified.
The harsh words that were originally stuck in his throat were immediately swallowed back down.

"It's alright, it's alright, Brother Changchuan is right here. It's just a sudden earthquake, don't be afraid."

Shen Changchuan gently stroked her head and soothed her softly.

This reassurance,

It's as if there's some kind of invisible magic.
This helped the latter calm down quickly.
Until a long while later,

Xiaoyu held him and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Changchuan's mood also calmed down.

Just at this time,

He suddenly realized something.

The speed this little guy just showed...
Even he himself couldn't react?
Isn't this right? !
On Xiaoyu's body,

There must be a big secret!

The secret about Xiaoyu
Shen Changchuan suppressed his curiosity and did not intend to delve deeper.

Judging from Wu Tianhao's entrustment,
This little guy's background and the things he's involved in are clearly not simple.

Just focus on doing your own thing and repaying that life-saving debt; that's enough.

There's no need to get yourself involved too much.

After settling in a bit

In the following period, Shen Changchuan diligently cultivated while secretly keeping an eye on news from the outside world.

that's it,
Time flies by,

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Within these three days,
The terrifying aura emanating from the direction of Wujiaji still lingers between heaven and earth, refusing to dissipate.

No one knows what happened there, or which powerful figure fell.

Those cultivators from other places who came to participate in this grand event, whether they were independent cultivators or from sects and families, hesitated and dared not approach Wu Family Village.

Some were so intimidated by the terrifying power that they turned and left, not daring to get involved in the current vortex.

After all, Shen Changchuan isn't the only smart person in the world.
Many people clearly understand that the aftershocks of a battle between such powerful beings could crush them like ants.

So the timid one simply turned around and left.

of course,

There are also many more greedy people, and those who just want to watch the show, who remain where they are, waiting.

Therefore, for a time,

Countless gazes converged on the desolate forest.

What Shen Changchuan was worried about
This will likely gradually become a reality.

However, having figured things out and already made plans, Shen Changchuan simply prepared his escape route silently without reacting much.

And after these three days,

Finally, a disheveled cultivator who had retreated from the "front lines" brought news about Wujiaji.

Three major news items:

First, there is indeed an ancient site in the space below where the original Wujiaji was located, and it is also an ancient grotto-heaven secret realm, which seems to be the mountain gate of an ancient major sect.

Secondly, a large number of demonic cultivators from the Southern Yue Kingdom crossed the border, seemingly aiming to seize something within the ancient cave. Three days ago, something unknown happened, and the Seven Absolute Old Demon, who had been hiding behind the scenes, suddenly appeared and personally intervened.

Third, just as the Seven Deadly Demons were about to leave the stage, Wu Tianhao's master, You Longzi, one of the Seven Disciples of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, suddenly appeared and exchanged a blow with him, stirring up the aftershocks of the terrifying collision three days prior.

Currently, the two seem to be entangled in a different dimension within that ancient cave ruin.
