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

Chapter 441 News
"Senior Gu? It's an honor to have you personally come to my door! Please come in!"

When Shen Changchuan walked out of the cave...

Upon seeing the visitor, he looked slightly surprised and quickly invited them to come inside and sit down.

Come here,

It was none other than Gu Xuanqing, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect!
Several years ago,
The other party is the acting city lord of the Wilderness City.
Shen Changchuan had naturally also interacted with him.
Especially during his three years of secluded cultivation, the cultivation resources awarded by the major cultivation forces in the Southern Tian region were also handed over by Gu Xuanqing on his behalf.

Shen Changchuan had a lot of exchanges with the other party.

"That's unacceptable!"

"As the saying goes, the accomplished are the first to be respected. In front of you, I dare not call myself a senior."

"It's been many days. Your strength must now surpass mine!"

"We are of the same generation, so we can address each other as fellow Daoist."

Gu Xuanqing chuckled and said.

He did not rely on his status and age to act arrogantly; on the contrary, he was quite carefree.

"Five or six years ago, the alliance officially intervened in the land of Nanyue. When Heishan Sen and the Demonic Alliance first clashed, I had a direct confrontation with Qiu Kunsheng, the leader of the Corpse Refining Sect."

"To be honest, it was only by joining forces with two fellow Daoists of the same realm that I was able to barely suppress him."

"Later, that guy used the secret techniques of the Corpse Refining Sect and unleashed strength no less than that of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. He easily defeated our combined forces. It was only thanks to the help of another junior brother from our sect who was also at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm that we were able to escape. Otherwise, we would have been killed on the spot."

"Such a formidable enemy, who also possesses such a powerful secret technique, I thought that unless top experts at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage made a move, no one could do anything to him. But I never expected that the next time I heard news of that person, it was already that he had died at your hands!"

Between talking,

Gu Xuanqing looked at Shen Changchuan with a look full of emotion.

It was precisely because he had fought with Qiu Kunsheng that
He knew better than anyone else just how impressive the rumored claim that Shen Changchuan had just advanced to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage and then killed his opponent was!
to be frank,
When Gu Xuanqing first heard the news, he thought someone was spreading rumors.

However, as the news spread widely, some details about the battle were revealed, and some people learned from Shen Yingxia, the third elder of the Shen family, that the matter was true.

Even if you can't believe it, you have to believe it's true.

Thinking of this,

Gu Xuanqing's gaze towards Shen Changchuan was also filled with emotion.

He was naturally aware of Shen Changchuan's genius.

Three years ago, he had just advanced to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage and had already defeated the renowned Shadow Demon.

At that time, he was still the acting city lord of the Wilderness City.
It was something I witnessed firsthand.

He knew long ago that the person before him would be the first to stir up trouble in the Tiannan Region in the future.

The potential for future achievements is limitless!

But that's at least ten or even twenty years from now.

But Gu Xuanqing never imagined that Shen Changchuan could be so monstrous!

An enemy he once considered extremely troublesome,
He was easily defeated just like that!
In the blink of an eye,
This junior, not yet thirty, has surpassed him.

It's really hard to accept.

"Senior, you flatter me. The Qiu Kunsheng you faced was at his peak. He not only possessed formidable cultivation but also commanded a silver-armored corpse of the same level. They were of one mind and cooperated effectively, making him an opponent that ordinary people would find difficult to withstand."

"The reason why I was able to kill Qiu Kunsheng is that before that, his silver-armored corpse was destroyed, which had already crippled half of his combat power."

"Otherwise, I would never dare to confront him head-on."

"This record is highly inflated."

Shen Changchuan shook his head and said.

At this time, he

He couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although the news about Golden Wind Valley was spreading like wildfire, especially the fact that he had just advanced to the seventh level and then killed Qiu Kunsheng, the leader of the Corpse Refining Sect, it had caused a sensation in Tiannan Region and Nanyue Kingdom, and was even spreading rapidly to other regions.

But the problem is,

Only part of the process has been circulated outside. Most people focus on his battle record, which means that few people know that Qiu Kunsheng, whom he killed, actually had half of his fighting power crippled by him!

This made Shen Changchuan feel slightly uneasy.

If the demonic path wanted to deal with him, they could simply use Qiu Kunsheng's peak combat strength as a benchmark and launch a massive attack to surround and kill him.

Wouldn't that put him in a desperate situation?

Oh.
He still has a life-saving trump card given to him by his master.
That's okay
Shen Changchuan suddenly realized that he still had powerful backers and trump cards up his sleeve, which made him feel a little more at ease.

but,

I still feel uneasy.

The plot of "pretending to be weak to eat the strong" is old-fashioned.

But in this perilous world of cultivation, it is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for Shen Changchuan at this moment.

He needs to speed up the process of improving his strength!
"Not at all, not at all. Even without his natal silver armor corpse, Qiu Kunsheng is still incredibly powerful!"

After exchanging pleasantries,
At Shen Changchuan's invitation, Gu Xuanqing entered the cave.

Subsequently,

He didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

Flying Spirit Ant
This is the reason why Gu Xuanqing came to visit.

Not long ago,
When Gu Xuanqing led the disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect to attack a secretive, reclusive demonic family, they encountered this thing and suffered a great loss as a result.

We're returning to Broken Soul City for rest and recuperation.

I happened to learn that Shen Changchuan was issuing a mission to search for this kind of thing, so I came here to visit.

Gu Xuanqing's words made Shen Changchuan's eyes light up.

Half a day later,
Gu Xuanqing bid farewell to Shen Changchuan and left the cave.

After seeing the person off,

Shen Changchuan reflected on his own situation and fell into deep thought for a moment.

The land of Nanyue is vast.

Even today, the northern part of the Southern Yue Kingdom, occupied by the alliance of various forces in the Southern Region, is only one-twentieth of the total area.

But even so,
From the desolate city to the city of broken souls

Its straight-line distance is already forty to fifty thousand miles!

To know,
The largest continental plate in my previous life was only about 20,000 li (approximately 10,000 kilometers) long from east to west.

Such a vast area,
How insignificant are the million cultivators gathered by the Tiannan Domain Alliance!

If they are scattered, it's probably not much different from scattering a handful of sesame seeds on the beach.

therefore,

Besides major, prominent cities, large underground spiritual vein nodes, spirit stone mines, and valuable resource points, which are given special attention and protection,

The other vast areas are still largely unexplored "wilderness lands".

Like on a map,

Only a few key locations, scattered like stars, were illuminated.

The rest of the place was shrouded in mist and darkness.
