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

Chapter 446 Absolute Heaven Valley

"hurry up!"

"If we're any slower, and the others catch up, we'll be too late to even eat shit!"

My second uncle, with a pipe dangling from his mouth, quickly spoke up.

Anxious, they pushed the young man from behind, urging him to hurry up and explore the valley.

The two of them,

Originally a low-level rogue cultivator in the cultivation world of the Southern Region,
No mentor, no connections.

He succeeded in cultivating qi with a bit of luck and obtained a rudimentary basic breathing technique before embarking on the path of immortality.

Although in the eyes of mortals, they are already high and mighty cultivators.

But such people at the bottom are numerous in the cultivation world.

Without any major opportunities,

Most people, even until they die of old age, never reach the first or second level of Qi Refining, spending most of their lives struggling to survive at the bottom.

Major events in the cultivation world are none of their concern.

Its only function is to serve as the backdrop for this vast world of cultivation.

It merely serves to provide awe and wonder for extraordinary geniuses like Shen Changchuan.

Their lives after that

That's how it was supposed to be.

They'll never amount to anything in their lives.

But a few years ago,

In response to the order of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, the major cultivation forces in the Southern Region formed an alliance and began their campaign against the demonic forces of the Southern Yue Kingdom.

In order to increase their combat strength, various forces have taken in a large number of independent cultivators from outside the region.
Some sects have even significantly lowered the entry requirements.
Furthermore, they recruited a large number of independent cultivators to fight on the front lines, offering rewards such as magical inheritance, rare and precious materials, and elixirs.

The cultivation world of the Southern Region, which was originally rigidly hierarchical,
It opened up a channel for upward mobility for the unaffiliated cultivators at the bottom.

Over the years,
Some rogue cultivators seized the opportunity of the war and relied on the resources of the alliance to rise against all odds, breaking through the extreme realm and advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Some people obtained the inheritance of immortal cultivation on the front line battlefield, and from then on their descendants had a chance to establish themselves in the family.

Some people are incredibly lucky and become rich overnight.
This has added a lot of rumors about the rise of the underdog to the cultivation world of the Southern Region.

My second uncle was actually tempted at the time.

However, at that time, the front lines were short of manpower and combat strength.
However, my second uncle's cultivation level was clearly not up to par; he hadn't even reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Such a level of ability is not even qualified to be cannon fodder, and is obviously not highly regarded by others.

Even if you have the will, you are powerless.

But all this,
Two years ago, things changed after the great victory at Broken Soul Mountain.

Because of the vast territory they occupied, the demonic cultivators could move freely within the expansive area surrounding Broken Soul Mountain.

Cultivators from the Righteous Alliance who frequently attack Broken Soul Mountain.

to this end,

The righteous path in the Southern Region has also begun to implement targeted strategies.

That was to sweep away the human settlements around Broken Soul Mountain.

Whether it's subjugation or cleansing, the goal is to control as many rural areas as possible that are not yet truly under our control, thereby reducing the space for the demonic cultivators of the Demonic Path Alliance to operate.

The idea is a good idea.

But here comes the problem.

Although large areas outside of Broken Soul City are mostly uninhabited wilderness, swamps and other deserted areas.

However, because the area is so large, there are many scattered human settlements.

After subduing or eliminating the original local demonic cultivation forces,
That still requires someone to guard it.
This is to ensure that they will no longer provide assistance to the demonic cultivators of the Demonic Path Alliance.

However, the large number of human settlements naturally diluted the strength of the Righteous Alliance.

To solve this problem,

The righteous alliance of all parties in the Southern Region has been lowering its recruitment standards again and again.

Even until recently,

It has already reached the point where you only need to be a cultivator in the Tiannan Region's cultivation world.
Anyone willing to work for the Alliance, guarding human settlements and performing surveillance, communication, and alert duties, will be welcome to participate.

Then you will be able to get a free boat ticket to the northern part of the Southern Yue Kingdom.
This also shows that the uncle and nephew were of low moral character.
But the reason why it is here.

“Xingzai, let me tell you something. People like us, if we don’t work hard, we’ll stay at the bottom forever.”

"You and I, uncle and nephew, came all the way to this Southern Yue Kingdom, wasn't it all for the sake of making a name for ourselves?"

"Don't you think about it? There are so many low-level thugs like us on the streets. If you don't seize the opportunity when it comes, why should you stand out?" "Besides, don't be fooled by the fact that we don't seem to be in any danger right now. That's because the Alliance hasn't sent us any missions yet. Soon, my nephew and I will be going to guard the surrounding strongholds. Wow, I heard those demonic cultivators are ruthless killers! And they even use the corpses after they've killed them!"

"You don't want to end up like this with your second uncle in this unfamiliar place, do you?"

Uncle kept rambling on and on, spouting all sorts of profound truths, while constantly pushing Xingzai forward with his hands.

"Well, Uncle, how about I keep watch here while you go inside and take a look? After all, you have more experience!"

The honest-looking Xingzai looked very conflicted, and surprisingly, he turned his head.

"Wow! What are you saying? You don't think I'm scared, do you?"

"Let me tell you, this lookout job is highly technical. You're young and can't handle it. You'll have to let your uncle do it!"

My second uncle straightened his slightly overweight back, widened his eyes, and shouted loudly.

Then came another long lecture on principles.

The young man named Xingzai had no choice but to slowly walk towards the valley.

Seeing this, the second uncle looked around and then shrank back into the bushes to hide, shrinking his neck.

Too dangerous!

I wonder if that important person has left or not.

"We are just ordinary people, and we do not know who you are. Please forgive us for any offense we may have caused."

My second uncle muttered something, put his hands together, and bowed to the sky.

"Uncle, how about we call it a day?"

at this time,

A voice suddenly sounded behind him, startling him.

"what!"

"You little rascal, don't you know you can scare people to death?!"

"And didn't you go in to search? How did you come out?"

"Uncle, I'm scared."

"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of? That great figure just performed his magic not long ago, and the aura he left behind is enough to send those monsters and other miscellaneous creatures running hundreds of miles away!"

"No, Uncle, it's just that I was scared when I went inside!"

"When I entered that valley, I felt like my whole body was going to split apart, like being cleaved in two by a sword!"

"In short, I feel like the whole world has been split open!"

"Is it really that incredible? I don't believe it! Let's go take a look!"

After a while,
The two of them rolled down the mountainside beside the valley, covered in dust and dirt. Even after getting up, they still felt a lingering sense of fear.

If you haven't faced that scene directly...

It's really hard to imagine.
Just standing on the edge, one feels as if the world has been cleaved in two by a sword, and one feels as if one is about to be split in two as well!

They were merely at the second or third level of Qi Refining.

They had no power to resist that aura.
Even now, my legs are still weak.

but,

After calming myself down a bit,
My second uncle opened his right hand, his hand trembling slightly.

now,

His right hand was covered in blood.

In his palm was a black stone.

Among the stones,

There is a faint sword mark.

From the sword marks, an incomparably sharp aura pulsed and pulsated.

That's why his hands were covered in blood!
"Wow! Second Uncle, why are you picking up this broken rock? You've gotten your hands all bloody. Why don't you throw it away right now?"

"You brat! You don't even realize there's a treasure right in front of you!"

"This thing retains a trace of the magic power of that great figure. If we can comprehend it before it dissipates, we will surely benefit immensely!"

"Forget it! You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, you idiot. Just get going and make sure you don't tell anyone about this, understand?"

"understood"

Subsequently,

My second uncle took out a precious jade box, put the stone inside, and then held it to his chest as if he were carrying a great treasure.

The two then quickly left.
