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

Chapter 593 Paying Homage to the Ancestral Master
Six months later,
Inside the cultivation chamber,

Shen Changchuan stared at the progress bar in front of him, which showed 40% progress after the Sky Step, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

He did not expect that,
The Master took so long to handle the aftermath of his own important matters.
To this day, there has been no sign of the other party returning.

but,

Shen Changchuan wasn't in a real hurry for the time being.

Wait patiently.

It's good that you're back and ready to set off again, but if not, then you should just work hard to cultivate yourself.

Although it is said that the ancient inheritance assessment does not consider cultivation level.

But maybe if we improve a little more, we can get a better reward?
So in the past six months,

Shen Changchuan stayed in Broken Soul City and cultivated in seclusion.

They devoted a great deal of energy to studying spatial power.

Maximize the progress of your stepping into the air.

of course,

During this time, he did not forget to hone his cultivation level, absorbing the high-grade spirit stones he obtained from the candidate for Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect for cultivation.

They also spend some time and energy cultivating second-tier and top-tier second-tier spells.

He thought this would at least improve his existing knowledge and skills.

If one accumulates enough experience, one might even gain insights into improving the Stepping into the Void and the Golden Thorn Technique.

then,

During this six months,

Shen Changchuan was practically never left his home, never leaving the City of Broken Souls, and was wholeheartedly focused on his secluded cultivation.

There's really no other way.

In the present day, there are no opportunities or advantages for him to seek out in the outside world.

Reality is not a game.
It can refresh things like previous people's cave dwellings and ruins anytime, anywhere.

Or,

There are bound to be cave dwellings and ruins left behind by Nascent Soul Realm predecessors that occasionally appear outside, attracting the attention of some mid- to low-level cultivators.

However, those cave dwellings and ruins left behind by so-called true cultivators in the Out-of-Body Realm might have been a great opportunity for me ten or twenty years ago.

However, for Shen Changchuan at present, it was just a slight gain with little benefit, and it was not worth the trip for him to investigate.

Having reached this point in his life,
Most of the "opportunities" scattered throughout the cultivation world of the Southern Region are no longer of much use to him.

and,

In fact, there is still a lot of room for improvement in him.

In many aspects, it has not yet reached its limit.

This is also a good opportunity to hone oneself and maximize one's abilities.

Let's wait until we can't go any further before making any progress.

not to mention,
Shen Changchuan was also worried about being attacked again by shameless enemies like Wan Zunli, who were at the Divine Travel Realm.

He ultimately kept his master's reminder in mind.

It's best to be cautious until you've fully matured.

Under these various factors,
Staying in Broken Soul City for seclusion naturally became the most suitable option.

However, despite numerous concerns,
Shen Changchuan chose to go into seclusion for cultivation.

But now, half a year has passed.

There's still no news from Master, and it seems this Sky-Stepping Technique has hit a bottleneck; the progress bar has stalled after reaching 40%.
They encountered the same predicament as the improved Golden Needle Technique!

This undoubtedly added to Shen Changchuan's anxiety.

Moreover, his own secluded cultivation has reached a bottleneck. "I have absolutely no clue what to do. Is this the only way out?"

"While a 40% progress in the Sky Step technique is already usable in combat, it's still a long way from being perfect!"

"Since I haven't reached perfection, I can't use it instantly. So, although the Sky Step can enhance my strength a lot, it's still far from the perfection I expected!"

"Moreover, only by perfecting the Sky-Stepping Technique and gaining the experience of perfecting the characteristics related to the power of space will I have the accumulation and understanding to further improve the Golden Thorn Technique."

Looking at the progress bar on the panel, which had remained almost completely still for the past two weeks, no matter how hard I tried, it was like a series of empty steps.

Shen Changchuan's expression was also rather unpleasant.

His plan has a very good prospect.

However, problems have arisen in the current implementation.

If we continue to be stuck at this bottleneck, preventing further progress beyond 40% in this "stepping into the air" technique,
Therefore, his strength might not be enough for the Immortal Sect Grand Competition. If he fails in the Joint Grand Competition and loses the opportunity to advance to the Divine Travel Realm that his master mentioned,

That would be an enormous loss for me!

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time!"

"Next up is the ancient inheritance trial that Master mentioned, and the internal competition of the Immortal Sect two years later. In any case, before the joint competition, I should have enough opportunities to improve my strength to a higher level!"

"There's still quite a bit of time before the joint competition, so this should be enough for now!"

As Shen Changchuan pondered this in his mind, he secretly comforted himself.

Subsequently,

He composed himself.
He continued his secluded cultivation, attempting to comprehend and practice the Sky-Stepping Step while constantly refining himself and improving his cultivation level.

time flies,
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Three months of effort

Shen Changchuan still failed to break through the 40% progress of the Sky Step, and his comprehension of spatial power was also in vain.

Fortunately,

As the saying goes, if the East is dark, the West will be bright.

After more than half a year of continuous effort, Shen Changchuan's cultivation level has been further improved.

He has now successfully broken through to the late stage of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm!
To outsiders, this would definitely be considered a rapid improvement.

Shen Changchuan was not surprised.

in fact,

Back when he fought that old dog Wan Zunli to the death, he had already been tempered and honed enough. If he had forced himself to break through at that time, he would probably have had no problem.

However, Shen Changchuan thought that he had progressed from a mere Qi Refining Stage cultivator to this level in just thirty years, which was indeed quite fast.

To avoid having a weak foundation, Shen Changchuan decided to break through by naturally cultivating his magical power.

And so,

It took him ten months to hone his skills and accumulate experience bit by bit, and finally his cultivation level naturally broke through to the late stage of the eighth level!

Their strength has been significantly enhanced once again!

of course,

As a price

The hundreds of high-grade spirit stones obtained from the Holy Maiden candidate of the Heavenly Demon Sect have all been used up!
Shen Changchuan's high-grade spirit stones were all gone.

Fortunately,

The person who accepted the mission that Shen Changchuan posted at the Longxiao Sect's mountain gate to deal with Shi Mengting's many spoils of war has already returned successfully, bringing back one hundred high-grade spirit stones for Shen Changchuan after selling off many precious resources.

This can be considered as a significant recovery for his depleted wallet.

Meanwhile, as Shen Changchuan continued to refine his newly broken-through eighth-level late-stage cultivation,
You Longzi has finally returned.

"Come on! I'll take you to pay your respects to your ancestor!"
