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

Chapter 448 Launch
Half a month later,
Black mist enveloped the sky and earth, stretching for countless miles, turning this entire area into a realm for mortals!
In a world shrouded in black mist,
There are magnificent mountain ranges that stretch endlessly.

It cast down one after another hideous, enormous phantom image.

at this time,

A magnificent ship, its body glowing with runic light, broke through the thick black clouds with overwhelming force and plunged into the mountains!
"The Valley of Absolute Heaven is just ahead!"

"This place is strategically located, guarding the throat of the vast plains to the south, and directly threatening the Fallen Flame City."

"Two years ago, the cultivators left behind in Falling Flame City were attacked and suffered heavy losses. After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the attackers had been running rampant by using the Jue Tian Valley as a route."

"This time, we must wipe out the demonic cultivator families in this area!"

The spaceship, having broken through the thick black clouds, landed above the mouth of a valley.

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, Gu Xuanqing, hovered directly in front of the spaceship, his deep and powerful voice echoing throughout the ship.

On the deck of the spaceship,

The disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect all had solemn expressions, their eyes fixed on the mysterious yet dangerous valley below, their hands involuntarily clenching.

A thicker black fog filled the valley, and the fog seemed to be alive, constantly churning and surging, which was terrifying!
"Prepare to land!"

Gu Xuanqing waved his hand.
With his command, the spaceship slowly descended, and the surrounding array lights flickered more and more intensely, seemingly resisting the erosion of the dark power below.

Faintly, one could hear a series of cracking and shattering sounds.

Within the black mist, dark lights flickered continuously.

That was the sound of a low-level magic array, similar to a warning formation, being crushed on the outer perimeter!
Facing the opponent who had previously caused the Ancient Sword Sect a great loss,

This time,
Well-prepared, Gu Xuanqing chose to storm in directly, using speed to his advantage!
When the spaceship landed in a clearing at the mouth of the valley,
The disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect acted swiftly, jumping off the spaceship in an orderly fashion according to the previously arranged plan, forming formations around the spaceship to prevent attacks from enemies hidden in the thick fog.

At this very moment,
"You want to wipe out my Li family? Hmph! What a boastful tone!"

In the valley,

A hoarse, loud voice rang out.

Then,

Then it was seen that the clouds and mist in the mountains seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, gathering into a giant hand hundreds of feet long, which swept towards the spaceship!
A terrifying divine power swept across the sky.

The disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, who had already formed a battle array around the spaceship, turned pale and became unsteady on their feet.

"bluff!"

However, at that very moment, a clear, cold voice rang out inside the spaceship.

Zheng!
A clear sword cry resounded, and the sky trembled.

A condensed sword light, tens of feet long, shot out from the spaceship like lightning, soaring into the sky and piercing through the air in an instant, slashing towards the pitch-black hand that was slamming down from the void above!

The sword light collided violently with the massive, dark cloud of mist.
Boom! ! !

In an instant, the world seemed to be blasted apart by a thunderbolt, and terrifying waves of magical power spread in all directions from the point of impact.

Wherever it passed, the air rippled with visible waves, as if it could not bear the weight!
The giant black hand in the sky was struck by the sword light. Terrifying sword energy spread out, pulverizing the hand and turning it into a cloud of mist that dissipated into the air.

"That sword strike was truly powerful!"

at this time,

Standing on the spaceship, Shen Changchuan watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

The person who made the move,

It was Jian Wuhen, the sword disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect.
His cultivation level was at the late stage of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, which was even stronger than that of Gu Xuanqing!

Before Shen Changchuan suddenly appeared...

He is the most outstanding genius in the cultivation world of the Southern Region in the past century! He is also the only seed of the Ancient Sword Sect to reach the Divine Ascension Realm!

During the two-week journey,
Through Gu Xuanqing's introduction, Shen Changchuan also got to know the other party.

There was no arrogance of a genius, nor any confrontation.

As two geniuses from the Southern Region, one after the other, they actually felt a sense of mutual respect and admiration for each other.

So all this way
Shen Changchuan and his opponent exchanged insights on swordsmanship and magic, verifying their own training.
The journey was incredibly fruitful!
As for Jian Wuhen himself...
Shen Changchuan had to admit that

His opponent was far superior to him in swordsmanship and magic!
In addition, his cultivation level was at the late stage of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.
Their strength is now far superior to mine!
at least,

Shen Changchuan was certain that if he were to fight the other party, he would definitely be no match for him!

What Shen Changchuan didn't know was that,

Compared to his admiration, Jian Wuhen felt complicated and regretful towards him.

The complexity stems from the fact that Shen Changchuan reached this level in just over twenty years, demonstrating such profound understanding of swordsmanship and magic.

Jian Wuhen admitted that he was far inferior to others even at the age of thirty.

He is now a step ahead of Shen Changchuan.

But given the talent the other party has shown, this gap will likely be closed very soon!

This made Jian Wuhen, who had always been used to surpassing others since embarking on the path of cultivation, feel a rare sense of immense pressure from his juniors!
This gave Jian Wuhen a complex feeling he had never experienced before.

Unfortunately,
Shen Changchuan also demonstrated exceptional talent in swordsmanship and magic cultivation.

But unfortunately,
The other party was clearly not a swordsman who was truly devoted to the way of the sword; he was merely an ordinary cultivator who regarded the way of the sword as a useful tool.

This also gave Jian Wuhen a sense of regret, as if a pearl had been cast before swine.

Of course,
Regretful as it may be,
However, Jian Wuhen would not allow someone to change their appearance and focus solely on sword cultivation just because they have talent in swordsmanship and magic.

Jian Wuhen's thoughts
Shen Changchuan naturally had no idea.

At this moment, his gaze was fixed on the surging clouds and the overflowing sword energy in the sky.
I also felt immense pressure.

"Ten years from now, he'll probably participate in the Immortal Sect's century-long grand competition!"

Shen Changchuan thought to himself.

The Ancient Sword Sect was founded by former disciples of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, and the sect practices the methods inherited from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Therefore, as a disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect, Jian Wuhen was qualified to participate in the grand competition ten years later.

Or rather, the other party will definitely participate!
After all, the winner of the grand competition can obtain the opportunity to advance to the Divine Travel Realm!

"The Southern Domain has thirty-six smaller domains, and the Southern Domain is just one of them, and it is a relatively low-ranking smaller domain."

"There are probably quite a few people like him in the competition! There might even be experts whose strength far surpasses his!"

Shen Changchuan remained calm, as numerous thoughts flashed through his mind.

Ten years,
He not only wanted to catch up with the strength of someone like Jian Wuhen, but also to surpass him.

Only then will it be possible to enter the top ten in the Immortal Sect Competition.

the first time,
Shen Changchuan felt unprecedented pressure!
after all,

Geniuses like Jian Wuhen

Their current strength is already quite remarkable.

And ten years from now, the other party will certainly not be standing still.
Their strength at that time
It will only become more powerful!
