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

Chapter 299 Return to Tiannan City
"Young man Changchuan, I am astonished to hear that you have advanced to the Nascent Soul realm and have even condensed a spiritual body and an innate divine power."

"The compensation for your ambush by the rebels within your family was already prepared, including several items that were collected to help you advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, ready for you to collect upon your return. However, these items are probably useless to you now. Please return to Tiannan City to discuss whether you want to exchange them for something else."

"Although the Shen family's background cannot compare to that of the Dragon Sky Sect, the family has been established for hundreds of years and has accumulated some resources over the years, including mid-grade spirit stones for cultivation and some precious pills that can enhance the cultivation of cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage."

Three days later,
After settling things behind him, Shen Changchuan rode Xiao Feng, soaring through the sky and flying towards Tiannan City.

He glanced casually at the message talisman sent three days ago from the patriarch of the Shen family in Tiannan City.
I looked at the content again more carefully.
After confirming that there was nothing of interest, I put it back into the storage bag.

The message didn't hide any information.
The patriarch of the Shen family didn't beat around the bush; he directly expressed his meaning.

He was probably very shocked.

I never imagined that I would successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage in such a short time.

Moreover, he accomplished the legendary feat of condensing a spiritual body and a seed of divine power, something only the most outstanding geniuses at the pinnacle of the Thirty-Six Domains could achieve.

He was extremely shocked by this.

I never expected that the Shen family would produce such a prodigy in this generation!
Yes,

It's again!

In the communication talisman, the Shen family patriarch didn't hide anything from him and mentioned something.

That was before this, when his sworn brother Shen Chong came to fulfill the boast he had made three years ago.

During the big commotion,

He had witnessed Shen Chong display incredible power that surpassed that of ordinary cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.
It was only later that I learned that it had condensed a spiritual body and a seed of supernatural power.

From those words,
Shen Changchuan could also sense the regret in his words.

Inadvertently,

However, this caused one of the family's unparalleled geniuses to almost become enemies with the family.

And this letter
This was also to make amends for Shen Changchuan's ambush and killing by Shen Zhengming when he was away earlier.

Before Shen Changchuan went into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul realm...

Shen Changchuan had informed the Shen family patriarch about Shen Zhengming's ambush and assassination attempt on him through a communication talisman.

After that, the Shen family patriarch gave him a reply.

The direct descendants of Shen Zhengming, Shen Shiying, and other directly related individuals were exiled, their family property was confiscated, and Shen Changchuan was compensated.

But at that time,
Shen Changchuan began his closed-door breakthrough even before the compensation was paid.

Now, several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Upon learning that Shen Changchuan had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the Shen family patriarch was greatly shocked.
They also invited Shen Changchuan back to discuss resolving the promised compensation.

The ancestor's meaning was basically stated clearly in the communication talisman, without any beating around the bush.

Shen Changchuan thought about this for a moment.
So he agreed to it.
At the invitation of the patriarch,

Go back to Tiannan City.

"The assassination attempt by Shen Zhengming cannot be blamed on the ancestor."

"Although the mastermind behind it all, the First Madam, went unpunished, her influence is immense, which is understandable."

"The old master handled the matter of our mother quite well."

Shen Changchuan thought to himself,

He actually had no objection to the Shen family patriarch.

According to information obtained by Han Qinhu, the maternal grandfather, when he went back to visit later.

After he joined the Longxiao Sect,
My mother's status has been rapidly elevated, making her one of my father's few favored concubines with extremely high status.

Furthermore, he was always accompanied by elders at the Nascent Soul stage to protect him from any attempts by the First Madam to harm him.

Shen Changchuan didn't know if this was the best outcome for his mother, but at least...
His status within the family rose rapidly.

They no longer need to be as cautious as servants in a mansion.

This is so much better than before.

Moreover, with the abundant cultivation resources such as the Essence Pills that he had asked his grandfather to bring back, he was well-equipped to cultivate immortality.
This mother also successfully guided her Qi and embarked on the path of cultivation.

Despite reaching this age and spending a great deal of spiritual resources to successfully awaken his spirit, his future achievements are unlikely to be very high.

However, becoming a cultivator can at least help regulate one's body.
To extend one's lifespan.

This,

This also meant that Shen Changchuan didn't have much of a dislike for the Shen family of Tiannan, or rather, for the Shen family's patriarch.

of course,

Because of the frustrating two and a half years after they transmigrated,
And the immense pressure exerted by the First Madam before his advancement to the Nascent Soul realm.
He wouldn't have much affection for the Shen family of Tiannan.

perhaps,

This is why the patriarch asked him to go back.
And it's probably because they took the initiative to suggest replacing the original compensation with resources used by cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

The Shen family has already missed out on a peerless genius, and has even become enemies with him.
Are we going to miss out on another peerless genius?!

With many thoughts in mind,
Shen Changchuan rode on Xiao Feng's back and headed towards Tiannan City.

It took two days.

We finally arrived outside Tiannan City.

no way,
Xiao Feng was ultimately just a demon beast at the ninth level of Qi Refining, so its flying speed wasn't fast, and it had to stop and rest after flying a certain distance.

Moreover, although cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage can also fly on swords.

Furthermore, its speed is significantly faster than that of a mere breeze at the Qi Refining stage.
But traveling hundreds of miles by flying is fine.

Tens of thousands of miles away,
Forget it then.

Flying on your own also consumes mana.
It will be very tiring.

Slow down is fine.
It doesn't matter.

but,

Tiannan City was just ahead in the distance.
A hint of reminiscence flickered across Shen Changchuan's face as he recalled the two years he had spent here several years ago.
His brows suddenly twitched.
His gaze suddenly turned downwards to the pavilion atop the mountain in the distance.
over there,
A faint, lingering scent, though not entirely familiar, was deeply etched in my memory.

Shen Changchuan hesitated for a moment,

He patted the little wind beneath him and spoke to it using his beast-taming technique.

He then put it into the monster bag.

Then his entire body transformed into a streak of light.
It flew towards the pavilion on the mountaintop.

The distance of several miles was covered in the blink of an eye.

Shen Changchuan's figure landed outside the pavilion on the mountaintop.

He glanced at the back of the figure ahead, and finally spoke up to greet him:

"Shen Chong, it's been a long time."

Yes,

The person before me,

It was a meeting they had made in Wujia Town several years ago, where Shen Changchuan had shown goodwill and reminded him about the matter of condensing a spiritual body.

And that cheap brother of mine who caused a huge scene in Tiannan City not long ago—Shen Chong!
