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

Chapter 282 Advancement to Out-of-Body Stage
Three years ago, during the entrance exam,
Shen Changchuan was directly taken into the third assessment by Wu Tianhao, which aroused dissatisfaction among the people present at the time.

At that time
Some people even stood up and directly confronted Wu Tianhao, the chief examiner.

That person was Li Qing!
As a result, Shen Changchuan made his move, and with a mere flick of his wrist, his sword nearly cleaved the entire plaza in two.

The speed was so fast that Li Qing stood rooted to the spot, completely unable to move!

If that strike had missed by even the slightest bit...

He was destined to die on the spot!
That scene,
This undoubtedly stunned everyone present.

This made everyone realize one thing: the vast difference between them and Shen Changchuan, who was standing on the high platform!
This also made Li Qing, who stepped forward, a laughing stock.

This humiliation,
However, it also became the source of Li Qing's motivation to practice diligently after he entered the sect.

For three years,
Almost every time he closed his eyes, he could see that person looking down at him with an indifferent gaze, high above him.

"I'll give you time to catch up; paper is still a long way off."

"Genius is merely the threshold to meeting me."

Those words,

It lingers in my ears all the time.

Those who can enter the Dragon Sky Sect are all geniuses in the eyes of others, and they all have a bit of the arrogance of geniuses.

What I experienced that day
For Li Qing, this was an unprecedented humiliation!

In the past three years,
In order to avenge their previous humiliation,
Li Qing always cultivated diligently with several times the effort of others!

Three years of hard work have finally paid off.
None of the outer disciples had ever fought the other side.

But the sharpness in his eyes put pressure on everyone who met his gaze.

no doubt,

This Li Qing is definitely not a weakling!
"Shen Changchuan... It seems like we haven't seen him for two years."

"I heard he went into seclusion. I wonder how strong he is now. If he loses in the competition, what he said back then will become a joke."

"Probably not. He's quite strong. Two years ago, he already had the power to contend with those in the Nascent Soul Realm. Two years have passed, and I'm afraid his strength has only increased to a higher level."

"Hmph! Although Shen Changchuan was strong back then, he only relied on his lineage from the Tiannan Shen Clan and his mastery of extremely powerful magical inheritance. In the past three years, we have been studying in the sect and have already made up for this gap. If we were to truly face off, who would win and who would lose is still uncertain!"

"That's true. There are quite a few of us who want to teach that guy a lesson in the competition."

The crowd below the stage was buzzing with discussion.

Some of the more capable individuals had a glint in their eyes, showing signs of eagerness to try.

Two years,

Shen Changchuan stopped showing himself.

His deterrence,

It also faded away over time.

Simultaneously,

As their strength visibly increased day by day,
Many outer disciples felt a renewed sense of confidence!
The courage to confront them has been rekindled.

Especially those among them who are ranked higher in strength,
They all wanted to bring Shen Changchuan down in the upcoming competition.

Looking down at the eager crowd,
Hong Yang, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall, who was seated at the head of the table, did not say anything.

Have the courage to take on challenges.

That's a good thing.

Unfortunately.
Hong Yang shook his head slightly in his heart.

He knew that
A year ago, that kid had already successfully cultivated his supernatural powers to perfection.

Not to mention in other areas, that kid is also making rapid progress.
Just considering the supernatural powers alone,
It was an insurmountable gap that none of the people present could overcome!

To defeat that kid,
It was all just a dream in the end.
Although these disciples are quite good,

But the gap between them is just too big.

That kind of level difference,
It's something that ordinary hard work and effort alone can't make up for.

not to mention,
Shen Changchuan's efforts were no less than theirs.
"I heard that the kid was in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. I reckon he'll be able to advance in a few years."

"Give us time to catch up, until it's out of reach."

"That kid's words are probably not just empty boasting," Hong Yang thought to himself.

According to his estimate,

Of the more than two hundred disciples in this group, even with the help of many spiritual medicines such as the Nascent Soul Pill, it is estimated that only 30% to 40% will be able to advance to the Nascent Soul realm in the next ten years on their path of cultivation!
And when they are able to get promoted

That kid Changchuan has probably already reached some unknown level!

The threshold of the Out-of-Body Realm may not be a big deal for a genius.

But for ordinary cultivators,

Yet it remains an insurmountable barrier.
Some things in reality,
Ultimately, you can't change your fate just by working hard!

only,
Even though there was a lot of discussion in the audience at this time.

Many people boasted that they were determined to teach Shen Changchuan a lesson in the competition and achieve a good ranking.

Hong Yang, seated at the head of the table, remained silent.

It demoralized them.

Some things,
You need to see it with your own eyes to clearly recognize the difference.

and,

Such fearlessness towards the strong
Having a fighting spirit and a willingness to take on challenges
For the immortal cultivators,

On the contrary, it's a good thing.

"Okay, you guys"

Just as Hong Yang was about to say something to quell the heated discussion in the room,
suddenly,

boom! ! !
Accompanied by a slight vibration in the air,
A surge of power suddenly emanated from the back mountain.

"Ok?"

Hong Yang looked up.

All that could be seen above the back mountain was...

A layer of dark clouds had appeared out of nowhere, covering the sky above the back mountain and vaguely forming a vortex that spread outwards.
The surrounding light began to dim.

at the same time,

Accompanied by a powerful pressure sweeping across,

A gentle breeze swept through the mountains, blowing between heaven and earth.

The noise in the square also quieted down at that moment.

"what happened?"

Many people looked at each other, their faces full of doubt.

"It seems like someone has broken through?"

Someone hesitated before speaking.

"I once saw an elder in my family break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. The scene seemed somewhat similar to this, but back then, I only felt a faint pressure sweeping across the area, and it was just a fleeting moment. It didn't have the power to subtly alter the celestial phenomena like this."

"Could it be that one of the sect's elders has advanced to the Divine Travel Realm?"

"It shouldn't be. It's said that a breakthrough in the Divine Travel Realm can cause dramatic changes in the celestial phenomena. This scene seems rather small."

"Who could that be?"

The disciples all began to speculate.
There is no definitive answer.

No one noticed,

At this moment, Hong Yang, sitting in the head seat, showed a mixture of joy, surprise, and shock on his face.

Only that kid is in seclusion on the back mountain, breaking through his cultivation barrier.

That kid must be pretty good.

just,

How could it be so fast?

and,

How could it produce such a strong fluctuation?
