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

Chapter 680 Admitting
Faced with the disdainful looks from those around him,
Right now,

Xiao Chenyang's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

in fact,

Just now,
The moment he involuntarily took a step back, his heart skipped a beat, and he sensed something extremely wrong.

This retreat

Moreover, this retreat occurred without the opponent making a single move.

Wouldn't we become a laughing stock?!
And just as expected!

all of a sudden,

All that arrogance and haughtiness has become a joke!

Amidst the pointing fingers and disdainful glances from those around him.

A surge of shame and anger rose within Xiao Chenyang, and he wished he could rush up and fight Shen Changchuan to save face!

Xiao Chenyang's legs were tense.
To take a step forward,

At the same time, his face turned pale and then flushed, his mind was in turmoil.

But those steps seemed to possess immense power, preventing him from moving forward!
Xiao Chenyang's move,
Ultimately, they didn't take that step.

"That's it!"

"We've already lost all face. If we rush in now, we'll only humiliate ourselves further if we can't win!"

“A practitioner should not make decisions out of anger.”

"That's settled then. Next, I'll focus on his performance in the competition. Once I've figured out his true strengths and weaknesses from the sidelines and am well-prepared, I'll defeat him fair and square to avenge today's humiliation!"

Xiao Chenyang made the decision through gritted teeth.

Either don't fight,

Either defeat the opponent and avenge your defeat!
to this end,

He could only suppress the anger in his heart.

never mind,

As long as we can defeat him later.
So everything that happened today is not a problem.

then,

She gave Shen Changchuan a venomous look.
Xiao Chenyang didn't say anything, turned around and left without even leaving a harsh word.

Perhaps he had considered saying something harsh.
But in this situation...
Saying harsh words is nothing more than a joke in other people's eyes.

There's no need for that anymore.

Anyway,

As long as we can win back later!
It doesn't matter at all!
Xiao Chenyang turned and left with a gloomy look in his eyes, and his figure quickly disappeared.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought it would be a fierce battle, but it turned out to be nothing more than a weak ending."

"What a waste! How did he even manage to become one of the Seven Immortals of the Immortal Sect? With a mind like that, I don't know how he managed to raise his cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage!"

Among the onlookers,

Many people shook their heads as they watched Xiao Chenyang's departing figure.

"But speaking of which, who is that person? Although Xiao Chenyang's temperament is questionable, he is still a peak expert at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. How could that person make him back down with just a few words? Who is this monstrous talent?" "If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Shen Changchuan!"

"Shen Changchuan? I seem to have heard of his reputation before. It seems that when he was in the Qi Refining stage, he killed someone in the Nascent Soul stage or something. I think I was already at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage at that time. It hasn't been that many years, has it? How did he climb to our level so quickly?"

"That's because you're out of touch. That guy has made quite a name for himself over the years. It's said that he obtained the remnants of the Xiangshan Sect from back then, and that he defeated Shi Mengting, the Holy Maiden candidate of the Tianmo Sect, in the ruins of the Xiangshan Sect's mountain gate. There are also rumors that more than half a year ago, he crossed the border and killed a Divine Travel Realm expert from the Central Continent in the Tiannan Region!"

"This person can be considered one of the top contenders in this competition!"

"Hiss! Is this really true?!"

"Hmph! Those rumors are just rumors from the outside world. Whether they are true or false is another matter. Moreover, rumors often become more and more outrageous. For example, I once traveled to a small place where a peerless genius, who was said to be a once-in-a-millennium talent, was said to have defeated a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in reverse, and fought between a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator at the early stage and the peak stage. The boasts were so exaggerated that they were rare in heaven and earth. Out of curiosity, I challenged him, but I easily defeated him in just a couple of moves. Later, I found out that those so-called achievements were simply exaggerated tenfold by the locals."

"That's just how people from small places are. They exaggerate everything. They don't even realize that if they were really that powerful, they would have been accepted into a sect by the Immortal Clan and taken a liking to a Xuan Dan Realm ancestor. Why would they be stuck in those desolate and remote places?"

"It's all just boasting and nonsense. He'd better hope he doesn't run into me in the upcoming competition, or I'll definitely expose his bragging!"

After Xiao Chenyang left, many people around him turned their attention to Shen Changchuan, and started discussing the matter.

However, as some details about Shen Changchuan were uncovered by passersby,

Many talented individuals from other regions are not particularly interested in this.

no way,
Although Shen Changchuan's various achievements caused quite a stir in the Tiannan Region and several surrounding smaller regions,

But that's all there is to it.

Among the thirty-six smaller domains of the Southern Domain, the Tiannan Domain and several neighboring smaller domains are actually among the lowest ranked.

Because of the rebellion of the Xiangshan Sect three hundred years ago, the cultivation world in these areas was severely damaged, to the point that the Tiannan Domain and the surrounding small domains have fallen behind the other small domains in the Southern Domain.

It is precisely because of this,
Rumors from smaller places naturally don't attract much attention.

In this context

How could Shen Changchuan, who was born in the Tiannan Region, gain recognition from people in other places just because of a few rumors?

In fact,
Even within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, aside from those with ulterior motives who had conflicts with Shen Changchuan, probably no one knew that Shen Changchuan had reversed his fate and killed Zhou Lingfeng from the Central Plains.

Naturally,
Many of the geniuses from other regions were skeptical of Shen Changchuan's impressive achievements.

Some people are eager to try and uncover Shen Changchuan's "true colors" in the battles to come.

of course,

Some people in the crowd understood the reality.
They knew that Shen Changchuan was not so easy to deal with.

But amidst the surging crowd and overwhelming public opinion, he did not utter a word in rebuttal.

After all, these people who learned some of the truth through friends had no vested interests with Shen Changchuan, so there was no need for them to argue with the mainstream.

The surrounding discussions did not affect Shen Changchuan.

He didn't care what other people thought anyway.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Shen Changchuan looked at Hong Yang beside him and asked with concern.

"Junior brother, I am completely convinced!"

Hong Yang stared at Shen Changchuan in disbelief.
The scenes that had just happened kept flashing through his mind, and his voice was full of emotion.
