Chapter 819 Surprise (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)

Wanren Peak
Within a hidden cave,

"Disciple Shen Changchuan pays respects to Grandmaster!"

Led by his senior brother Hou Ping, Shen Changchuan entered this hidden paradise deep within Wanren Peak.

He was respectfully bowing to the old man in front of him.

The old man had white hair and beard, a goatee hanging down his chin, wore a gilded Tang suit, leaned on a cane, and had a slightly hunched back.

His aura was not particularly extraordinary.

So much so that at first glance, he looks almost no different from an old man taking a stroll on the street.

however,
Facing the figure of the old man before him,

Shen Changchuan dared not show the slightest disrespect.

because,

The person before me is none other than Master You Longzi's master, the only two Xuan Dan Realm True Persons on Wanren Peak—Qian Yuan True Person!
And he,

He was also Shen Changchuan's grandmaster!
"Alright, no need for such formalities."

With a gentle flick of his sleeve, Qian Yuan Zhenren lifted Shen Changchuan's arms with an invisible force, his smile warm.

"Young man Changchuan, it's been several years since we last met, hasn't it?"

"Although I preached to you for a while and thought you were a promising talent who would achieve great things in the future."

"But I never expected you could do this much; it really was a pleasant surprise!"

Master Qian Yuan said with a smile.

This made Shen Changchuan feel somewhat strange.

because,

Several years ago, when I met the other party under the guidance of my master,
The other person gave me a feeling of mystery, profundity, and unimaginable power!
At that time, Grandmaster Qian Yuan also did not exude any aura.

But he just stood there.

It gives you the feeling that the other person is the center of the world before your eyes!

At the same time, it is filled with supreme majesty!
But now,
Shen Changchuan could no longer sense any mysterious and powerful aura emanating from the other party.

On the contrary, in his perception,

He was just a kind old man from the mountains!

This change is far too drastic!
"All of this is thanks to Master's excellent teachings."

Thoughts flickered in his mind, but Shen Changchuan showed no hesitation and humbly replied.

"Alright, you don't need to speak up for your master anymore. He's been busy breaking through his cultivation level all these years, how could he have the energy to teach disciples?"

"Your achievements today are largely due to your own efforts!"

Master Qian Yuan shook his head.

He knew all too well how good You Longzi's teaching skills were.

While it's not bad, it's definitely not top-tier.

not to mention,
In order to advance to the Profound Core Realm, he has been traveling around all these years. Where has he had any time to teach his disciples?
In his opinion, it was almost a miracle that Shen Changchuan had been able to get to this point!
While talking,
Master Qian Yuan's gaze swept over his most outstanding grand-disciple from head to toe.

The more I look at it, the more satisfied I become.

original,

Master Qian Yuan learned this from Hou Ping's report.
That shameless old man from Qingmu Peak has placed a huge bet, seemingly aiming to poach his most outstanding grand-disciple from the new generation of Wanren Peak disciples.
So he summoned Shen Changchuan.

It wasn't just to see Shen Changchuan's attitude and whether he had any intention of switching sides.

Furthermore, since their own disciples performed so well and Qingmu Peak was so "generous," how could Wanren Peak be stingy?
to this end,

The reason Hou Ping summoned Shen Changchuan was precisely to reward him.

Moreover, Master Qian Yuan has already decided that this reward cannot be worse than the gift from Qingmu Peak!
To prevent the few remaining prodigies of their lineage from being abducted.

however,
At this moment,
After seeing Shen Changchuan clearly, Master Qian Yuan began to change his mind.

At the same time, a long-dormant thought deep within my heart has become increasingly active.

"Young man Changchuan, if I'm not mistaken, you should have already successfully mastered the power of true meaning, right?"

The power of true intent is almost invisible and intangible; if it is not used, others cannot detect whether one has mastered it.

But this applies to ordinary cultivators.

With the supernatural powers of the Profound Core Realm,
Naturally, it is easy to see whether there are traces of true intention power on their body.

For this,

Shen Changchuan naturally had nothing to hide.

"Yes, Grandmaster, I have made some progress during my time in the Immortal Sect." "By chance, with the help of the Enlightenment Stone Necklace given to me by my great-grandfather and the Myriad Dao Diagram awarded in the competition, I was able to successfully comprehend the true meaning and enter the realm of enlightenment."

While answering,

Shen Changchuan's heart was also stirred, and an idea involuntarily arose in his mind.

My master summoned me here; it couldn't have been just for casual conversation, could it?

Earlier on the way, Senior Brother Hou Ping had hinted that it was a good thing that Grandmaster had summoned me.
Thinking of this,

Shen Changchuan immediately stopped hiding it.

The true meaning of time, representing 3.4% of the progress, was directly unleashed.

Pretending to be weak to outmaneuver the enemy is meant to create an information gap, not to pretend to be weak for the sake of pretending to be weak!
Now is the time to show yourself!
then,

Shen Changchuan is going all out!
With his induction,

in an instant,
A strange power spread out.

Within a radius of a hundred feet, it seemed as if time was being accelerated by that force, and a feeling of time passing by in the blink of an eye arose!

Within the range of the true meaning, the lifespan of all living beings seemed to be stripped away, ushering in their final decay and death. Even the bricks and stones underfoot, which could be called spiritual materials, were affected, showing a slight grayish-white color.

of course,

All these changes,

This does not include the current Grandmaster Qian Yuan!
In Shen Changchuan's perception, the Qian Yuan Ancestor before him stood like a reef.

No matter how much I stirred up towering waves, the other side remained completely still!

"Mystic Core Realm"

A hint of envy and longing flashed through Shen Changchuan's heart.

He can be sure,
Even now, when he goes all out, even if he uses all his life force as fuel to unleash his strongest attack, the Wood Annihilation Divine Light,
It would be difficult to leave even the slightest mark on the other party!

This is the Profound Core Realm!

His body is completely flawless, impervious to all magic.
Even a strong person of a different level could not shake it in the slightest!
"With the war between immortals and demons imminent, even those at the Divine Realm level would probably only have a slight ability to protect themselves in such a great battle, but in the end, they would just be cannon fodder."

"Perhaps only the supreme powerhouses at the Profound Core Realm, who stand above countless cultivators, can be at ease in the great battle and control their own destiny!"

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He currently has no idea just how powerful the Profound Core Realm is.

But he knew,

The existence of those at the Profound Core Realm represents the absolute pinnacle of the entire Southern Domain's cultivation world!
Those beings at that level are above all living beings, watching the world's changes unfold and living freely for millennia.

That is already a preliminary transcendence, and could even be said to be a preliminary form of immortality.

In the eyes of the world,
That was almost like a god or immortal being!

"Young man Changchuan, what are your ambitions for advancing to the Divine Travel Realm?"

As thoughts raced through his mind, the voice of Grandmaster Qian Yuan rang out.

Shen Changchuan looked up,
But the other person was staring blankly at him, and his voice had become serious at some point.

"Disciple wishes to attempt the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment."

"Hahaha!"

"Good good!"

Suddenly, the Old Ancestor Qian Yuan laughed three times and said "good" three times in a row.

The tense and serious atmosphere melted away like ice and snow.

Surprise!

What a wonderful surprise!

Right now,

Grandmaster Qian Yuan felt a surge of joy in his heart!

Upon hearing about his grand-disciple's achievements, he felt that the other party's performance was somewhat beyond his expectations, quite impressive, and even Qingmu Peak had high hopes for him.

But it wasn't until I saw the other person in person that I realized what was happening.
That's more than just good!
It seems like only a little over a year has passed since the internal competition of the Immortal Sect, right?

More than a year,
He has already successfully grasped the true meaning and elevated it to the level of three-tenths!
Such progress,

Such talent!

If others say his goal is to advance to the Divine Ascension Realm through the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment,
He would just smile and offer some encouragement.

But given Shen Changchuan's talent and rate of progress, this goal...

But it is indeed possible!
