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

Chapter 565 Three months

time flies,
Three months have passed since Shen Changchuan returned to the Longxiao Sect and began his secluded cultivation.

During these three months,
Within the cultivation world, various rumors about the ruins of the Xiangshan Sect continue to circulate widely.

only,
There is hardly any news circulating about the geniuses from various regions, or the candidates for the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Admittedly,

During this period, many more rumors circulated.

It has become a topic of conversation among people.

but,

Whether those prodigies live or die

They don't have much direct interest in the matter.

Once people have had their fill of one particular story, they will naturally turn to other topics, and the hype will drop significantly.

not to mention,
The Xiangshan Sect site has been discovered.

In contrast,

People are more concerned about the ruins of that top sect that was wiped out three hundred years ago!

although,

This mountain gate ruins

To high-level cultivators who knew the inside story, it was almost like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

The Xiangshan Sect, having been emptied and relocated in advance, would not have left behind many valuable items.

But,

Even the remaining cultivation supplies are still an incredibly delicious feast for cultivators of low to mid levels!

then,

Not long after the news leaked out
Many cultivators from outside the region were already heading to the desert area in the west of the Tiannan Domain, rushing towards the western desert region of the Tiannan Domain.

As the news spread further and was further confirmed,

Even cultivators from other realms have traveled here, hoping to enter and explore!
The ruins of that mountain gate caused a sensation throughout the entire nation!

no way,
After all, it is a top-tier sect that has produced three Xuan Dan Realm True Persons in the past.

Moreover, that was three hundred years ago, which is not that long ago.

This also ignited the ambitions of countless low- to mid-level independent cultivators.

A top-tier sect that produces three profound pills.
Surely such a top-tier sect must possess some extremely precious treasures?

Perhaps there are also incredibly effective and extremely precious elixirs.

Even those profound lineages that can directly lead to the elixir of immortality.

these things,

All of these are possible!

And as long as you get any one of the three...
All of these are enough to make an unknown rogue cultivator in the vast world of cultivation ascend to heaven overnight, and even reach a realm that he himself dared not even imagine in the future!

Defying fate is within reach.

As a result,
This naturally aroused the envy of countless low- to mid-level cultivators in the cultivation world.

After all, what's the value of rumors and gossip about adulterous men?

In addition, the returning geniuses from other regions are basically either in seclusion or do not reveal their whereabouts to outsiders.

Naturally,
News of the chaotic battles at the Enlightenment Cave gradually faded away, submerged in the occasional legendary tales of sudden wealth at the ruins of the Xiangshan Sect's mountain gate.

at this time,

The cultivation world of Tiannan Domain and several surrounding smaller domains have become exceptionally lively due to the discovery of the Xiangshan Sect's mountain gate ruins.

It attracted the attention of countless people.

but,

All of this had little to do with Shen Changchuan.

Three months,

He spent most of his time sensing the jade platform imbued with the aura of the Enlightenment Stone. Furthermore, by utilizing the aura of the Enlightenment Stone on the jade platform, he significantly improved his understanding of spatial power.

During this process,

Shen Changchuan also roughly figured out how to use the jade platform that was imbued with the energy of the Enlightenment Stone.

The method of using this thing is not complicated.
Simply place it around yourself, and under the influence of the Enlightenment Stone's aura, you can enter a state of greatly enhanced comprehension, with your thoughts becoming more active, as if your Ren and Du meridians have been opened, and your understanding and comprehension of certain things will be greatly improved.

but,

During the three-month process of use and exploration,
Shen Changchuan also discovered a troublesome flaw.

That is the energy of the Enlightenment Stone on the Jade Platform; it is not limitless!

Furthermore, when one uses it to enhance their own comprehension and think about and solve problems related to cultivation, the magical energy within the Enlightenment Stone will be consumed!
For Shen Changchuan,

This is undoubtedly bad news!

Because he simply didn't have the means to replenish this strange energy.

As he uses it for longer, one day it will become useless.

"Sigh, I wonder where that legendary Enlightenment Stone has ended up. If only I could get a fragment of it!"

After confirming repeatedly,

As the energy of the Enlightenment Stone on the jade platform was continuously being consumed and would not regenerate, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

I was feeling rather depressed.

Normal people are insatiable.

Although acquiring this jade platform was an unexpected gain for him,
But who wouldn't want this unexpected gain to be a long-term meal ticket?

Unfortunately, there is always a huge gap between reality and expectations.

But fortunately,

The energy of the Enlightenment Stone on the jade platform is not consumed quickly.

According to Shen Changchuan's estimate, even if he uses all his strength to aid his thinking, it can still sustain him for two to three years or more.

During this period of time,
That should be enough to fulfill my idea, right?
Thinking of this,

Shen Changchuan's wounded heart was somewhat soothed.

"The Enlightenment Stone—the Heavenly Demon Sect hopes to have the opportunity to explore it someday."

Jade has such power simply because it has been imbued with some aura.

So how powerful are the original Enlightenment Stones?
Shen Changchuan was unaware.

But one can guess and imagine it.

No one knows how the Enlightenment Stone of the Xiangshan Sect came to be.

However, the cultivators outside roughly guessed one thing: the Xiangshan Sect obtained the Enlightenment Stone within the last five hundred years.

It was during those five hundred years that the Xiangshan Sect developed rapidly.

Not only did three Xuan Dan Realm True Persons appear in succession at the high level,
Along with his disciples, they were all outstanding.

He even once had the ability to compete with the inner disciples of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect for the title of the number one genius in the Southern Region!
Such a divine object,

Having obtained the jade platform and experienced its power, Shen Changchuan naturally yearned for its original Enlightenment Stone.

Of course,
Shen Changchuan also knew that,

He is no longer qualified to compete for such a treasure.

even,
If the Enlightenment Stone were in my hands,

This is more likely a curse than a blessing!
The demise of the once-powerful Xiangshan Sect might very well have originated from that Enlightenment Stone.
"never mind."

Shen Changchuan shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the many thoughts swirling in his head.

Those schemes and plots are too sophisticated for me to handle.

What I can do
At most, we can only gather some information in advance.

I'll consider other things after I've achieved something in the future.
