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

Chapter 522 Cause
The matter of body tempering is not merely related to the cultivation of the Yi Wood Undying Scripture, or even to the favor of a senior member of a sect.

It's also because of Shen Changchuan's own needs—

That would extend the overclocking state duration of the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Gu!
After a month of organizing,
Shen Changchuan easily discovered that the duration of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Gu's overclocking state was closely related to his physical strength.

The stronger the physique,

The dantian meridians can then withstand even more violent magical impacts.
Or rather, it can withstand the pressure brought by the surge in mana for a longer period of time, thereby extending the time of overclocking!

In addition, a strong physique can enhance one's defensive capabilities, giving him a greater advantage in battle.

Therefore, the body-refining method was undoubtedly extremely important to Shen Changchuan.

but,

Just as Shen Changchuan was preparing to select the first body-refining method from the hundreds of body-refining methods he had obtained from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Senior Sister Wei came to visit.
Shen Changchuan had no choice but to personally receive them.

"Junior brother is indeed a genius. In just a few months, his cultivation has broken through again!"

Upon seeing Shen Changchuan, Wei Yuting said with a beaming smile:

"Congratulations, junior brother, your strength has reached a new level!"

Two or three months later, I saw Shen Changchuan again and sensed the aura of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm coming from the other side.

Wei Yuting, however, discovered that
I wasn't surprised at all!
This is undoubtedly somewhat strange.
When we met two or three months ago, the other person had only recently broken through to the late stage of the seventh level.

Now, when we meet again, he has already broken through to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

At this speed

For anyone else, that would be simply unbelievable!

But in front of Shen Changchuan at this moment, Wei Yuting felt a sense of entitlement!

She also noticed the unusual calmness within herself.

"Perhaps it's because it would be an incredible miracle for someone else."

"But compared to my junior brother, it's nothing special!"

Wei Yuting couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
I understand in my heart.

I was shocked a lot.

So naturally, I wasn't surprised.

"Sister, I'm so impressed."

Shen Changchuan shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile:
"This breakthrough was just a fluke. If my master hadn't secured the opportunity for me to enter the Spirit Transformation Pool, I'm afraid I would have needed more than three years of hard work to break through the bottleneck."

This wasn't him being modest.

to be frank,
He definitely underestimated the difficulty of breaking through cultivation levels and overestimated his own talent.

I originally thought that with my own efforts and with no shortage of cultivation resources, it would be easy to break through from the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage to the eighth level within ten years.

But it wasn't until we actually got to this point...
Standing before the threshold of his breakthrough, Shen Changchuan truly understood how difficult it was!

No wonder his master looked so disappointed when he tried to focus on a top-tier second-order spell.

The same applies to levels seven through nine.

The Out-of-Body Realm and the Qi-Inducing Realm are completely different concepts!
The difficulty,
The former is almost ten or even a hundred times better than the latter!

Even now,
He dared not say that he would definitely be able to raise his cultivation to the ninth level eight years later, before the Immortal Sect Grand Competition begins!
A hint of melancholy appeared on Shen Changchuan's face as well. "..."

Seeing the change in Shen Changchuan's expression.

Wei Yuting was speechless for a moment.

Listen to it.

Is this human talk?
You should know that it took him almost ten years to break through from the peak of the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage!

Someone who could break through in just three years of hard work felt that it took too long and showed a bitter face.

So what is my breakthrough, which took me ten years of hard work?
Wei Yuting didn't know what Versailles was.

But I have to say,
She felt like she had been tricked by the other party.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Wei Yuting didn't intend to delve any deeper into the conversation or continue to belittle herself.
She composed herself and then said:

"Junior brother, you sent me a message earlier because you wanted to find out about the Immortal Sect's Dao Sons, and those powerful geniuses among the younger generation within the Immortal Sect who are worth noting?"

"That's true. But it's not a big deal. Junior brother just wanted to know a little about the Immortal Sect. Senior sister only needs to send a message talisman. Why bother coming here in person? I'm really ashamed to trouble you with this!"

"The sect's mountain gate is only two or three hundred miles away from your Dawan Village, just a few steps away. It's not that far."

After chatting for a while,

The two then got back to business.

As a disciple of You Longzi, Wei Yuting had cultivated in the Yuqing Immortal Sect for many years before coming to the Tiannan Region. She was the most renowned Daoist among the younger generation of the sect.
Of course, I have some understanding of this.

even,
That Daozi was a fellow disciple of Wei Yuting, born in the same year.

Also because of this,

In some of the usual competitions, Wei Yuting had also witnessed the opponent's moves back when he had not yet become a Daoist.

In terms of the opponent's strength,
It's safe to say they're practically invincible!

Back then, among those in the same year as Wei Yuting, no one could force that person to make a second move in any monthly or yearly competition!

Later, Wei Yuting heard that when he was at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, he was already able to fight against ordinary fellow disciples at the peak of the ninth level!

That was something Wei Yuting and the others could hardly imagine!
Moreover, that person's cultivation level improved rapidly.
Compared to Shen Changchuan, they are even better!

It is said that during his ten years...

He had already completed the advancement from the first level of the Out-of-Body stage to the ninth level.

The reason why I am still in the Out-of-Body stage is that...
Rumor has it that you are about to cultivate a world-shaking technique. If you succeed, you will be able to increase your success rate by more than 30% when you advance to the Profound Core realm in the future!
And it is precisely for this reason,
Daozi had just received such a solemn treatment from the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect, who even went so far as to hold a joint competition with the top forces of several surrounding major regions for this reason.

because,

Daozi's strength has long surpassed the level of ordinary Nascent Soul realm!
Within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect
Apart from Daozi

There are also two other disciples of the Immortal Sect whose strength is almost overwhelming, and who were once candidates for Daoist disciples.

Below those two, there were also Lin Wushuang, Deng Yingzhi, Zhu Xingyun, and other descendants of the Xuan Dan True Person bloodline, whose strength, whether due to their lineage, background, or natural talent, far surpassed that of ordinary peak ninth level Nascent Soul cultivators.

After Wei Yuting's explanation,
Shen Changchuan's expression also became extremely solemn.
I felt an unprecedented, immense pressure!
The Jade Purity Immortal Sect alone has so many powerful geniuses.
What about the other major domains?
If I rely solely on the path I've envisioned, I'm afraid I might not be able to achieve a top-fifty ranking.
Shen Changchuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
A thousand thoughts flashed through my mind.

It seems,
Techniques similar to spatial slashes must be developed.
