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

Chapter 443 Request

Chapter 443 Request
In order to improve their combat power within six months as much as possible,

one day later,

Shen Changchuan found his master, You Longzi, and made a request.

"Oh, you want to cultivate a top-tier second-order spell?"

Upon hearing Shen Changchuan's words, You Longzi's brows furrowed slightly.

Second-tier top-level spells,
It is above the advanced level of the second tier, and is almost the most outstanding top-tier spell among all second-tier spells!
Their power is also extremely considerable.
Some rogue cultivators at the early stage of the Divine Realm with low-level lineage only possess second-tier top-level techniques for fighting enemies, which is enough to show their formidable strength.

But while possessing great power

The difficulty of cultivation is also extremely high!

Even a common high-level second-tier spell is several times more difficult to master than a regular second-tier spell.

The top-tier level 2 is more than ten times more difficult!

Even after advancing to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage and undergoing further transformation of their divine sense, it is still extremely difficult to successfully cultivate a top-tier second-order spell!
It requires years of hard work to put into it.

But once you get distracted by this...
That would inevitably hinder the improvement of one's cultivation level. Keep in mind that there are still only ten years until the sect's centennial competition.

In this short time,

To advance one's cultivation level from the seventh to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage...

Even with his personal guidance and a large supply of cultivation resources, You Longzi still felt extremely strained.

If you also try to cultivate top-tier second-order spells.
"I do indeed possess top-tier second-tier spells."

"The power of spells at this level is indeed quite good. If you can cultivate them to perfection, it will give you a certain advantage over your fellow cultivators who are also at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage in the sect's centennial competition."

"But while its power is great, the time and effort required to cultivate it are also considerable, which will inevitably slow down your progress in cultivation."

"Moreover, the higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one's divine sense, and the threshold and difficulty of cultivating high-level spells will be reduced accordingly."

"Second-tier top-level spells should be cultivated and perfected by cultivators after they have reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, during the process of seeking to advance to the Divine Travel realm. They should have enough time to spend several years or even more than ten years of hard work in their spare time."

"At the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, the difficulty for you to cultivate a top-tier second-order spell is probably more than twice as difficult as it would be for you to cultivate the same top-tier second-order spell after you reach the ninth level."

Are you sure you want to start practicing them now?

Although You Longzi believed in the teaching philosophy that disciples should be responsible for their own lives.

They will not interfere too much in the selection of their disciples.

But at this moment,
He couldn't help but offer his advice in a tactful way.

Now focus your time and energy on mastering top-tier second-order spells.

It's really not worth it.

"Master, I'm sure!"

In response to You Longzi's question

Shen Changchuan didn't hesitate much and gave a positive answer directly.

"A top-tier second-order spell might be difficult for others to master, but it may not be so for me!"

"With the accumulated experience of mastering thousands of spells, the threshold for me to cultivate spells of the same system will be greatly reduced!"

"Moreover, with the progress bar panel, as long as you're willing to work hard, you can gradually accumulate the progress to perfection!"

"Besides, I don't lack cultivation resources like spirit stones and pills right now. I can take advantage of the opportunity to practice a top-tier second-order spell to hone my skills. Just like before, I can constantly expend and replenish my mana to refine myself and accelerate the advancement of my cultivation level!"

"This is a win-win situation!"

of course,

These words touched upon Shen Changchuan's most fundamental secret.
Naturally, he didn't say it aloud, but only silently recited it in his heart.

“Master, please rest assured, I know what I'm doing and it wasn't just a momentary impulse.”

Shen Changchuan spoke frankly, his gaze resolute. Regarding his thoughts on cultivating a top-tier second-order spell,

In fact, he had this idea in his mind as early as when he fought Qiu Kunsheng.

The trip to Jue Tian Valley six months later was merely the reason he decided to bring forward this long-held idea.

That battle at that time,
Shen Changchuan had already discovered some of his shortcomings in combat ability.

That is when facing an enemy whose level is higher than one's own.
It lacks some powerful means of dealing with the enemy!

Even if a regular second-tier spell is cultivated to perfection, it is not very effective against enemies whose cultivation level is one level higher than one's own.

Because by the late stage of the Out-of-Body stage, cultivators are more or less able to master one or two perfect ordinary second-tier spells.

In a clash of spells at the same level,
Undoubtedly, it is more powerful and gives the opponent a greater advantage when used against a higher level of enemy!
This undoubtedly put Shen Changchuan at a disadvantage at the time.

At that time, in order to close the gap,
Shen Changchuan had no choice but to use the Green Wood Sword Light he was most familiar with.

And in an instant, he unleashed nine sword lights in succession.
Winning by quantity

They had barely managed to suppress Qiu Kunsheng.

However, this kind of shortcut can only solve the immediate problem and cannot be used in the long run.

First, it instantly unleashed nine attacks.
Only the Aoki sword light, which he was most familiar with, could barely manage to do that.

Shen Changchuan could only cast the other second-tier spells three to five times in a single instant.

This might be because the Azure Wood Sword Light was originally only a top-tier first-order spell, and its casting requirements weren't that high.
It's also possible that the Azure Wood Sword Light has accompanied Shen Changchuan all the way and is most familiar with the changes.

But regardless of the specific circumstances
In short, Shen Changchuan could only rely on sheer numbers to win by using the light of the Green Wood Sword.

Thus,
If a battle drags on, it is easy for a huge opening to appear, which the enemy can take advantage of.

not to mention,
The instantaneous activation of nine beams of green wood sword light also consumed a great deal of energy.

The more they fight, the more they fall into a disadvantageous position!

"A typical second-tier spell, once perfected, no longer possesses an overwhelming advantage at the late Nascent Soul stage."

"And I can't possibly use my supernatural powers the moment I face a powerful enemy, can I?"

"While the power of supernatural abilities is indeed formidable, the consumption is also enormous. Using them at full strength can deplete almost a third of one's mana. If the opponent manages to dodge them using some kind of technique, the consequences will only worsen!"

"At present, only by cultivating top-tier second-tier spells can I maintain my combat advantage in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

For this,

Shen Changchuan had thought it through very clearly!

Looking into Shen Changchuan's determined gaze,

You Longzi slightly opened his mouth,
But in the end, he didn't say anything.

"Fine, since you've made your decision, then so be it."

You Longzi sighed inwardly, then took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Shen Changchuan.

"Here are some top-tier second-tier spells that I possess. Take a look and see which one you need, then choose for yourself."

Since the disciple has already made a decision, there's no need to interfere.

On the path of cultivation, a strong Dao heart is very important.

If one's will is forcibly reversed by others, one will not achieve anything in the future.

However,
