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

Chapter 592 First Steps
Several years ago,
Shen Changchuan returned to Dawan Village from the land of Nanyue.

Just as news of the imminent discovery of the Xiangshan Zongshan Gate ruins was spreading like wildfire...

Many talented individuals from other regions have entered the Southern Region one after another.

As the most renowned young cultivator in the Tiannan Domain, Shen Changchuan naturally attracted the attention of many geniuses from other domains.

later,

A prodigy from another realm is openly and brazenly attacking.
Shen Changchuan suppressed them in just a few moves, demonstrating his extremely powerful abilities. In addition, his master later appeared, which finally suppressed those restless geniuses from other regions.

During the conflict,
Shen Changchuan also discovered something.

That means that many of those geniuses from other realms have also condensed the seeds of supernatural powers!
This made Shen Changchuan somewhat puzzled.

Because he remembered,
When I first condensed the seed of divine power, my master reacted with incredible joy and overflowing happiness.

He learned from his senior brother Hongyang during a casual conversation that condensing a seed of supernatural power was extremely difficult.

Furthermore, even the master, who was one of the Seven Jade Purity Masters, failed to condense a supernatural seed when he advanced to the Out-of-Body stage!
Admittedly,

According to Shen Changchuan's understanding,

Actually, when Master was at the Qi Refining stage, he wasn't one of the most outstanding performers.

Among the seven, their strength is not among the top.

Furthermore, based on some of the stories he had heard about his master's rise to power...

It seems that there were some unexpected factors involved in his master's ascension to become one of the Seven Immortals.

But despite this,
However, among the Seven Immortals, Master's strength was not at the bottom, but rather in the middle.

Such a person, when he advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm back then, was still unable to condense the seed of divine power.

Then why,
The geniuses from other realms that I encountered had basically all mastered the seeds of supernatural powers.
Shen Changchuan even asked You Longzi about this.

For this,

You Longzi had a complicated expression on his face at that time.
He only said one sentence.
They say they are a special generation.

At the time, Shen Changchuan was unaware of the significance of this so-called special generation.

He didn't investigate further at the time.

Because although they are all "peerless geniuses" who have condensed the seeds of supernatural powers.
However, the strength displayed by those geniuses from other regions was ultimately a notch weaker than his.

Shen Changchuan didn't take it too seriously.

Now it seems,

This is actually related to the Daoist disciple of the Immortal Sect, and it even involves the ancient test and inheritance that has been lost to history?

"He obtained a heaven-defying opportunity at the Qi Refining Realm? It seems that Daoist's strength might exceed my expectations!"

Shen Changchuan recalled some things his master had shared with him a month ago when they talked about the opportunity of the ancient assessment.
Their expressions were also somewhat solemn.

Shen Changchuan had never seen the Daoist disciple of the Immortal Sect in person, nor had he ever fought him.
However, due to the opportunities it had previously obtained, a "mass" of beings that had condensed supernatural seeds were born within the Southern Domain.

This indirectly shows how terrifying the opportunity that Daoist once obtained was!
Such a monster,
Do I have a chance to defeat my opponent?

Shen Changchuan also had more doubts about himself.

Fortunately,

Shen Changchuan wasn't particularly concerned about winning or losing when facing his opponent.

He didn't have the strong desire to be number one.
They didn't follow the same path as the "Covering the Sky" people, where once they lost, they were utterly defeated.

Shen Changchuan was very clear about this.
In truth, my own abilities are limited. Perhaps, thanks to the fusion of two souls as a transmigrator, I am considered a genius compared to ordinary people.

But that only makes him slightly better than an average genius; he's definitely not one of the world's top geniuses!
He has a good understanding of himself.
My reliance is the progress bar panel where I can see my own progress and accumulate perfect attributes and experience.

Rather than any so-called qualifications.

Therefore,
In Shen Changchuan's eyes,

Losing to the prodigies and geniuses of the same era is not something unacceptable.

As long as the progress bar panel is still there.
Then, step by step, he will eventually reach the peak!
It was with this unwavering confidence that
Therefore, Shen Changchuan was not very concerned about whether he would be inferior to the cultivators of the same generation.

"Actually, I don't think I necessarily need to confront him."

"The group I have a conflict with is the so-called Following the Way Society, which is the group of followers of the Daoist. But in reality, according to my senior sister, the Daoist is almost always focused on cultivation and has never stood up for the Following the Way Society. As a result, among the inner disciples of the Immortal Sect, the Following the Way Society is not the most powerful group."

"Logically speaking, given Daozi's contribution in enabling even ordinary top geniuses to condense divine power seeds, many people in the inner sect should have gathered behind him. However, the Daozi Association is not the largest one in the inner sect of the Immortal Sect, which is enough to show that there is something fishy going on."

"How much of a relationship exists between the Follower Society and Daozi is probably still uncertain!"

"Judging from the fact that Daozi has been in seclusion for many years and is single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, it's unlikely that he would personally take action because of his conflict with those people, right?"

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind, and he thought to himself.

indeed,

I currently have no direct conflict of interest with that Daozi.

It's unlikely that we'll end up facing off against them.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changchuan then put these thoughts aside for the time being.

"It's a pity that the ancient ruins assessment and inheritance can only be entered once per realm, which wasted one of my opportunities in the Qi Refining realm."

"I hope this so-called ancient trial won't disappoint me."

Turning his thoughts back to that ancient heritage, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

What a waste of an opportunity.
That would be a huge loss of profits!
but,

According to the master, that ancient inheritance assessment is controlled by the top forces of the Southeast Continent. Each time it is opened, it requires a lot of resources and a lot of effort in building up connections and relationships.

Unless one possesses exceptional talent, enough to entice even the most discerning members of an immortal sect,
Otherwise, someone at the Qi Refining stage wouldn't even be qualified to participate!

In this world, very few people are able to enter the assessment at the Qi Refining stage and then obtain an opportunity.

That's acceptable.

"I wonder when Master will be able to return. I hope we can achieve a good result in the ancient inheritance assessment."

Shen Changchuan's thoughts began to wander.

Although his master had told him about this a month ago,

However, he also said that he had important matters to attend to and needed to settle things temporarily. He would take him back to the Immortal Sect to find the Ancestor after he was freed.

Therefore, he needs to wait a while.

This is why,
One of the reasons Shen Changchuan was determined to try his best to see if he could gain any insights from the journey on the empty boat.

Anyway, there's still time.

I wouldn't be satisfied if I didn't try.
