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

Chapter 688 Ten consecutive victories

"Not bad, it seems there are no problems. It can automatically teleport people away after a fatal injury, which saves a lot of trouble."

Master Xuanfeng's profound gaze pierced through layers of void, taking in the figures constantly battling within the countless spaces divided within the pagoda.

He stroked his beard.

He nodded with satisfaction.

"Senior brother is quite generous, even willing to take out this Shangqing Jade Exquisite Pagoda."

"This group of disciples is about to broaden their horizons. You must know that this pagoda is a renowned near-fifth-tier treasure throughout the entire Southeast Continent. Usually, it is used to imprison and suppress at least a True Person of the Profound Core Realm. But now, they have been allowed to go inside."

Beside Master Xuanfeng, a graceful woman gazed at the Shangqing Jade Exquisite Pagoda in his hand, a strange light flashing in her gentle eyes, and smiled.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

"These days, the Heavenly Demon Sect is making frequent unusual moves, and the Immortal Sect doesn't have enough manpower to spare to guard such a grand competition. So we might as well use them; it doesn't matter."

"That's true. If those treacherous and shameless demonic scoundrels hadn't been so cunning, we wouldn't have had to hastily organize such a grand competition. Those who were ambushed included quite a few with the potential to become Xuan Dan (a high-level cultivation technique), what a pity."

"Forget it, what's done is done. We've already learned our lesson, so there's no need to say more."

Master Xuanfeng, who had an air of otherworldly elegance, shook his head slightly.

A light and refreshing aura enveloped him.

"Speaking of which, who do you think will ultimately win this competition?"

"There's no need to guess anymore; the one who will make it to the end is undoubtedly Lin Wushuang!"

"Possessing the true meaning of the blazing sun, it will only be a crushing defeat for those who have not yet grasped the true meaning; there will be no surprises."

The elegant woman shook her head slightly. Following Xuanfeng Zhenren's words, her gaze also turned towards the Shangqing Jade Exquisite Pagoda.
Her gaze pierced through layers of void, settling on a small, densely packed compartment inside the pagoda.

Within that small spatial grid,
Lin Wushuang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, radiating a scorching aura, like a miniature version of a solar furnace, and was resting with his eyes closed.

There was no one opposite him.

Obviously,

His opponents had already been eliminated by him.

"At the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, having mastered the true meaning, this would absolutely be considered a monstrous genius standing at the very top in any era, a future seed of the Profound Core!"

"It's a pity he was born in this era, with two even more monstrous little ones around. That's his misfortune!"

The elegant woman gazed at Lin Wushuang inside the pagoda from afar.

Her gentle voice also carried a hint of regret.

It is indeed a pity.

To know,
Among the many Xuan Dan realm elders of the Immortal Sect,
Not everyone can grasp the true meaning when they reach the Astral Transformation Realm.

Those who are able to comprehend the true meaning at the Out-of-Body stage are always those who are invincible in their time.

But unfortunately,
Lin Wushuang was born in the same era as Xuan Daoji and Su Lengyue.

He could never achieve the unparalleled dominance of his generation, and advancing to the Profound Core Realm in the future would be significantly more difficult.
"Indeed."

Master Xuanfeng nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps this is why Senior Brother Lin asked him to participate in this competition."

"With those two kids not around, this might be his only chance to get first place."

"In this way, even if he cannot achieve invincibility in the future and forge an invincible Dao heart, it will still add some of his 'momentum'. Senior Brother Lin is quite shrewd."

"Senior Brother Lin may have been scheming, but he didn't violate any sect rules. It's just a pity for the other youngsters, who will become stepping stones for Lin Wushuang." "The inner sect disciples are a bit better off, as they understand the power of true meaning to some extent. But the other youngsters from the outer sects are in trouble. Hopefully, their Dao hearts won't be broken and inner demons won't grow!"

The elegant woman seemed to already see Lin Wushuang sweeping all before her.
They completely crushed all the participants in this competition, leaving some of the outsiders who had never seen the world in a daze, unable to accept the reality of what was happening.

"If you can't even accept the slightest setback, how can you possibly achieve anything on the path of cultivation?"

"As the saying goes, a fine sword is forged through tempering, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. Perhaps Lin Wushuang's crushing defeat will inspire some people to work harder and achieve even greater things in the future."

at this time,

Among the three, the old man who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up, his voice somewhat low and gloomy.

"Oh, does Elder Mu have a promising young fellow in mind?"

Master Xuanfeng seemed to have sensed something different in the old man's words, and his eyes lit up slightly as he asked with some curiosity.

"Hehe, there's no question of whether I'm optimistic or pessimistic. I just think there are quite a few promising talents among this group."

Old Mu chuckled.

The two of them followed his gaze.

Through layers of space, the gaze finally settled on a young figure.

That person,

It was none other than Shen Changchuan!
and,

They've already achieved a ten-game winning streak.
Shen Changchuan is sitting cross-legged and resting!

"Oh, this child is..."

Master Xuanfeng had never seen Shen Changchuan's portrait.
Or,

Despite Shen Changchuan's seemingly renowned battle record,
But in reality, based on his achievements, he was not qualified to appear before the leader of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

"This young man is named Shen Changchuan. Speaking of which, he is a newly accepted disciple of You Longzi. He has only visited the Immortal Sect once or twice. It is said that he has mostly stayed in small places like the Tiannan Region, cultivating all the way to where he is now."

If Shen Changchuan were here,
You will surely find that
This old man, known as Elder Mu, was the one who had unexpectedly gotten close to him several years ago when he came to participate in the Spirit Transformation Pool and was given a copy of the Yi Wood Undying Scripture!
At this moment, Elder Mu's gaze was somewhat subtle.

Speaking of,
Several years ago, on a whim, he took Shen Changchuan away and gave him a body-refining secret technique.

Now it seems that the other party has actually entered the initial stage of cultivation?

A glint flashed in Old Mu's eyes.
Unlike other spells and secret arts, it cannot be revealed when it is not being used.

The Yi Wood Undying Scripture belongs to the body-refining method.

Therefore, it will strengthen and transform the physical body.

With the discerning eye of someone like Elder Mu, he could easily tell from Shen Changchuan's condition whether he had successfully cultivated the Yi Mu Undying Scripture.

Now it seems that it was undoubtedly a success!
just,

In just a few short years, he has already entered the beginner level, and his physique is more than one level stronger than other cultivators who are also at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
This kid seems to have a real talent for body refinement.
"I see. I seem to have heard of this kid's name. He's quite extraordinary, having made a name for himself in a place like the Southern Region.

Master Xuanfeng looked at the space where Shen Changchuan was inside the exquisite pagoda and nodded.

With his keen eye, he naturally noticed something amiss with Shen Changchuan.

But is this kid's master not You Longzi? Which lineage does he belong to?
Is Old Mu trying to poach someone from the team?

A thought flashed through Xuanfeng Zhenren's mind.
