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

Chapter 374 Attacked on the way
Three airships set off simultaneously.

It carried nearly 5,000 people to support the front line.

Along the way,

Shen Changchun did not go into seclusion to cultivate, but instead paid close attention to his surroundings at all times.

Even in order to detect the enemy in advance,
It even let the little wind fly into the sky.

Use eagle eye techniques to continuously monitor your surroundings.

We must be careful.
The further south you go, the more humid and rainy the weather becomes.

Even when flying high in the sky,

It is still often shrouded in dark clouds.

This is just a minor issue.
The real big trouble

In these wild and remote areas, large swathes of land are shrouded in thick fog all year round.

An unknown, strange force field filled the void, accompanied by violent lightning currents that tore everything apart!
Those areas,

Occupying vast areas,

It's practically a forbidden zone for all living things!

Even those at the Divine Travel Realm wouldn't dare say they could cross it without any cost.

Fortunately,
In the land leading to the southern Yue Kingdom
There are some safe "flight routes" that appear for reasons unknown.
Even cultivators at the Qi Refining stage wouldn't face much danger traveling through it.

It's just because of the complex and ever-changing environment.
If someone is lying in ambush,

It's also very difficult to spot.

Under such circumstances,

Naturally, one must be careful and cautious.

Fortunately,

Several years ago, Shen Changchuan had escorted caravans through many dangers in order to earn spirit stones.

I have some experience to begin with.

For the time being,

The problem isn't too big.

Time flew by amidst this tense state of mind.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The flying boat propelled forward at full speed, fueled by spirit stones.
In just half a month, they traversed nearly 90,000 miles, crossing that chaotic and desolate land.

Along the way,

It has indeed experienced several riots.

One time, they were struck by a violent bolt of lightning from the sky, but fortunately, there was a protective array around the flying boat, and with Shen Changchuan's intervention, the problem wasn't too serious.

On both occasions, they flew overhead in a grand display, seemingly disturbing the monsters living in the clouds, who then launched an attack on them.

Of course, the final result was that the attacking monster was killed.

All the way,
There were some twists and turns.

However, there were no casualties.

At this time,
The flying boat fleet was still three thousand miles away from the Wilderness City.

"We're almost there!"

"For the past two weeks, I've been on edge, not daring to relax for a moment. This is much more tiring than cultivation! It almost killed me!"

The first flying ship in the lead,
On the spaceship carrying the members of the Longxiao Sect,
At the bow deck,
The Song family patriarch stroked his beard, gazing at the dark clouds that were constantly receding from both sides, and couldn't help but sigh.

The three spaceships were positioned one after the other, not far apart.

In addition, each spaceship is operated by a dedicated team, eliminating the need for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage to personally oversee it.

So these days...

The Song family patriarch basically stayed on Shen Changchuan's flying boat.

Shen Changchuan was not a man skilled in interpersonal relationships.
But it's also clear that the other person is intentionally moving closer to them.

It carries a hint of intimacy and appeasement.

For this,

Shen Changchuan didn't object. He wasn't crazy.
You have to be cold to people who are overly friendly.

and,

The other person has lived for nearly two hundred years, making them almost ten times my age.
Although their strength isn't that great,
But he can be described as knowledgeable and well-informed.

Especially after decades of honing their skills in the Out-of-Body realm, they have developed some unique insights.

Shen Changchuan was naturally happy to chat with the other party.

During the casual conversation with the other party,
Shen Changchuan did indeed gain a deeper understanding.

"Cultivating to the Astral Transformation Realm is truly not easy."

"No wonder it's said that if one cannot condense a spiritual body when advancing from the Qi Refining Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm, then it will be virtually impossible to advance to the Divine Travel Realm later."

"It turns out that the spiritual body can increase the cultivation speed of cultivators in the Out-of-Body Realm by several times, almost more than that of ordinary cultivators in the Out-of-Body Realm! The difficulty of breaking through to the next realm is also reduced by several times!"

"Even those who have condensed a spiritual body find cultivation in the Out-of-Body Realm so difficult. For those who haven't achieved a spiritual body, the difficulty of crossing the nine realms and reaching the Divine Travel Realm is almost ten times greater. It's practically impossible!"

After exchanging ideas with the Song family patriarch,
Shen Changchuan clearly understood something.

When I was in the sect
Those who are able to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm and are accepted into the sect by Master You Longzi are basically elite geniuses, and most of them have also condensed a spiritual body.

That's why Shen Changchuan overlooked this point.

It wasn't until he had a conversation with a genuine, ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, namely the Song family patriarch, that...
Only then did he truly understand the difference!
then,

Shen Changchuan was no longer in a hurry to break through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage in a short period of time.

Although he will continue to work in this direction.

But I've already calmed down.

"We're almost there."

"However, even if we travel at full speed, it will still take more than half a day to cover the distance."

"We must not be careless before we actually reach the Wilderness City."

I am grateful for the many exchanges we have had during this period.

Shen Changchuan offered a reminder.

"Yes, that's true."

"The darkest hour is just before dawn; many people fall before their final step."

"However, I think those demonic cultivator brats wouldn't be foolish enough to launch an attack here, would they? Otherwise, if we rely on the formations on the flying boat to hold our ground until reinforcements from the Wilderness City arrive, they will surely die!"

Although Shen Changchuan is very strong
He's far superior to him.

But regarding this,
Based on his many years of experience, the Song family patriarch concluded that this was practically impossible.

just,

Before he could finish speaking,

Boom! ! !

A loud, deafening roar erupted.

The entire airship was hit by an extremely violent impact at that moment, and began to shake violently!
Under the impact of the enormous force, it almost fell off the sky upside down!
The Song family patriarch:
Before the words had even finished,
Are you kidding me?

However, at the same time...

hum!
Shen Changchuan stomped down hard, unleashing a tremendous force that sank like a mountain.

The airship suddenly sank.
The violent shaking subsided.

Shen Changchuan used brute force to stabilize the flying boat.

"Old Song, get ready, the enemy is coming!"

Shen Changchuan's expression was solemn.

At this moment,

Quack quack quack!!!
A series of rapid, strange cries suddenly rang out, and from within the heavy dark clouds, emerged birds, entirely black and about the size of calves.
Like a tidal wave, it surged out from the dark clouds and engulfed the three spaceships!

"Brother Shen, I'll head back to organize the defenses now!"

"Be careful!"

Ancestor Song transformed into a streak of light.
They quickly flew back into the airship behind them.

This spaceship contains many of the Song family's elite troops; we can't afford to lose them easily!
Not long after,
Boom boom boom! ! !
With a deafening roar, Ancestor Song unleashed a sky full of magical power and spiritual light, blasting it towards the black bird that was swooping down!
