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

Chapter 713 Discussion
"Pity."

After Shen Changchuan was teleported away by the power of space, the elegant woman beside him suddenly spoke up.

"It's a pity indeed."

Master Xuanfeng did not turn around; he knew what the person beside him meant.
She nodded slightly in agreement.
"If the timing weren't so bad, giving that kid a Myriad Dao Diagram as a reward wouldn't be a big problem. With his talent, with the help of the Myriad Dao Diagram, there might be a two or three percent chance that he could successfully comprehend the true meaning."

"Only when he can grasp the true meaning of success can he truly be considered to have taken off."

"Unfortunately, he was just unlucky."

Master Xuanfeng glanced at Shen Changchuan in the square below, and said with a hint of regret.

Shen Changchuan's performance did indeed meet his approval.

Not to mention advancing to the Profound Core Realm in the future,
At least reaching the peak of the Divine Realm shouldn't be a big problem.

Here is a map of ten thousand paths.

It wouldn't be unworthy to further strengthen the relationship between the other party and the Immortal Sect.

But the timing was wrong.
You could say he was just unlucky.

There is no way.

After all, the sect doesn't have any extra Myriad Dao Diagrams right now.

"The decision to temporarily open the Myriad Dao Palace has already been discussed and agreed upon by the Grand Elders, and the Supreme Ancestor has also agreed to it."

"At that time, copying the Myriad Paths Diagram will only require a little more effort. I think this child is quite capable. Why?"

Suddenly, Old Mu spoke up.

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already clearly expressed.

That's not what Master Xuanfeng and Shen Changchuan said before.

It was clear that the opening of the Myriad Paths Palace was a foregone conclusion, but what Master Xuanfeng and Shen Changchuan said earlier was that it was not yet decided, and their words were quite ambiguous.

This clearly shows they're not planning to give Shen Changchuan the Myriad Paths Diagram.

Although Elder Mu and Shen Changchuan had only met a few times, the fact that Shen Changchuan was able to master the Yi Mu Undying Scripture, which Elder Mu had given him, within just a few years suggested that Elder Mu was a talented individual.

Moreover, they also practiced his methods, so even if they couldn't become his disciples in the future, they would still have some sense of passing on his teachings.

Therefore, Elder Mu did not mind saying a word for Shen Changchuan.

Both Elder Mu and the elegant woman beside him turned their gazes toward True Man Xuanfeng.

As a high-ranking member of the Immortal Sect,
They all knew that with the Wan Dao Palace about to open ahead of schedule, obtaining a Wan Dao Diagram might be troublesome, but it wasn't impossible.

But the other party made this choice.

Does it mean they don't have a high opinion of Shen Changchuan's future?
"I don't mean to be pessimistic about that kid's future, I just think he's not worth it."

Facing the gazes of the two beside him, Master Xuanfeng gave a wry smile and shook his head.

His gaze fell down to Shen Changchuan below.

"That kid was able to rise to prominence in a remote and marginal place, reach this point at such a young age, and even comprehend and control a certain amount of spatial power. His talent is undeniable."

"But, unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era."

Master Xuanfeng's voice was calm and indifferent.

"The young prodigies of this era can almost be said to be the most outstanding in the history of our Immortal Sect! First, there was Su Lengyue's dazzling brilliance, then Xuan Daoji emerged out of nowhere and suppressed his peers, and later Lin Wushuang rose to prominence."

"Among the three of them, not to mention Xuan Daoji, either Su Lengyue or Lin Wushuang would have been capable of competing for the title of invincible among their contemporaries in any previous era."

"Even so, the fact that the Immortal Sect is simultaneously investing a great deal of resources to cultivate three peerless geniuses has already caused some of the direct disciples to gossip. They say that they have contributed to the Immortal Sect, but in the end, their benefits are not as good as those of three juniors in the Nascent Soul stage. If the rules are broken again for a fourth person, people will not be convinced!"

"If Shen Changchuan has anyone to blame, it's that he was born a little too early and lived in the same era as Xuan Daoji and the others."

Master Xuanfeng said with some emotion.

This is somewhat unfortunate.

Although he was the head of the Immortal Sect and a True Person of the Profound Core Realm, possessing immense strength and unimaginable power, few dared to disobey his orders.

But when making a decision
We should also consider the feelings of those below us to some extent. Put yourself in their shoes.
I am a direct disciple of the Immortal Sect at the Divine Ascension Realm. I have risked my life for the sect and made numerous contributions, yet I have been refused a Myriad Dao Diagram by the Immortal Sect.

As a result, the young man in the Nascent Soul stage on the other side, without accomplishing anything, easily received the Myriad Dao Diagram as a high-level reward.
In such a situation,

How could one not harbor resentment?

If we really do that,
Perhaps considering his status as sect leader and his strength at the Profound Core Realm, his direct disciples at the Divine Travel Realm will not openly express strong opposition.

But with such differential treatment, do you expect the Immortal Sect's direct disciples to work wholeheartedly for the Immortal Sect in the future?

At that time, it would be good enough if those below didn't line their own pockets or harm the interests of the Immortal Sect to seek their own benefits.

Even those in positions of power with absolute strength,
Even when in power, one must consider maintaining a certain degree of fairness on the surface.

People's hearts have scattered.

The team will be harder to manage then.

This is Master Xuanfeng's assessment.
This is also why he doesn't plan to take any action to give Shen Changchuan the Myriad Paths Diagram.

If one or two people receive special treatment, others won't react too strongly; three might be barely acceptable.
But if it's four, then it's hard to say.

Master Xuanfeng finished speaking.

The elegant woman and Old Man Mu beside them also fell silent.

"That's true. It's a pity."

Old Mu glanced at Shen Changchuan, shook his head slightly, and said nothing more.

Although he was not the leader of the immortal sect...
But they have lived for hundreds or thousands of years.

Having once held a high position, he naturally has a clear understanding of the principles of human relationships.

can only say,
Shen Changchuan was unlucky.

Or perhaps his performance wasn't enough to make Master Xuanfeng break the rules.

The future is destined to be disappointing.
No wonder Master Xuanfeng said those words beforehand.

unless,

Shen Changchuan was able to defeat Lin Wushuang.

But is that even possible?

Old Mu shook his head slightly in his heart.

I will no longer pay attention to this.

high in the sky,

Shen Changchuan was unaware of the conversation between the sect leader and the two patriarchs of the Immortal Sect.

but,

Although he was unaware of the sect leader Xuanfeng Zhenren's inner thoughts...

However, from the other party's tone, Shen Changchuan could also sense the difficulty of obtaining the Myriad Paths Diagram.

He is not the kind of self-centered, ungrateful person.

From Master Xuanfeng's words,

He then learned that,

Many people are still queuing up to get the Myriad Paths Map.

And among those people,

Many of them are direct disciples who have made great contributions to the Immortal Sect.

Shen Changchuan was in front of them,

There is absolutely no advantage.
