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

Chapter 831 Will
at this time,

The Longxiao Sect's mountain gate has become much more desolate.

As Shen Changchuan walked along the road, he overheard disciples chatting idly by the roadside, discussing whether the sect had decided to relocate to the Southern Yue region.
Otherwise, why would the sect leader and the various elders and high-ranking members of the sect often stay there and rarely return?

The sect's focus has clearly shifted.

Of course, some people have offered explanations.
The situation at the front lines is critical, which is why the sect leader and the elders at the Nascent Soul stage have not returned for so long.
They should be back once the war is over.

The Southern Yue region is, after all, a land rife with plague and disease, a desolate and barren place, and extremely far from the cultivation world of the Southern Tianyu Domain. It's unlikely they would relocate their mountain sect to such a place.
Walking inside the mountain gate,

Hearing the discussions among the disciples around him, Shen Changchuan's expression also became somewhat solemn.

Their conversation offers a glimpse into the current situation.

The situation is clearly not good.

Not to mention the master who needs to stay at the front line in the southern Yue region, even the senior brothers and sisters at the Nascent Soul stage rarely return.

This situation looks urgent no matter how you look at it.

Shen Changchuan didn't linger any longer and quickened his pace, moving swiftly towards the main hall of the mountain gate as if his feet were shrinking the distance between them.

I wonder if Senior Sister Wei is still around.

There's hope.

As the senior sister Wei who often stayed behind to oversee the Immortal Sect, she should undoubtedly know more.

Unfortunately,
When Shen Changchuan arrived at the main hall of the mountain gate, he also visited the outer affairs hall and other places.
We did not find Senior Sister Wei.

Or,

At the current Longxiao Sect mountain gate,
He didn't see many familiar faces at all.

At this time, the person left to guard the mountain gate and manage its affairs was a disciple named Chen Mingdao.

Shen Changchuan did not recognize the other party.
However, when the other person saw him, his face lit up with excitement, somewhat like a young person in his previous life seeing their idol.

From the conversation, Shen Changchuan roughly understood the other party's background.

Chen Mingdao and Shen Changchuan are similar,
They were among the first group of disciples to join the Longxiao Sect.

Back then,

Chen Mingdao also witnessed Shen Changchuan being publicly questioned about whether he had gotten in through connections during the entrance exam.

And so, in full view of everyone, a sword was unleashed from the high platform, shattering all doubts with the power to suppress everyone present.

He also witnessed Shen Changchuan's invincible confidence, who said, "So-called geniuses are just the threshold to my door," and "I will never consider those who are defeated by me as opponents. I will give you time to catch up until you are out of reach."

But at that time,
Unlike many others, he was not intimidated by Shen Changchuan's domineering aura and his incredibly powerful sword strike, nor did he ever dare to harbor any thoughts of competing with Shen Changchuan again.

Instead, he confidently declared in public that once he joined the Dragon Sky Sect and obtained the supreme inheritance of the Immortal Sect, he would surely be able to kill Shen Changchuan one day!

of course,

As Shen Changchuan continued to rise, his cultivation level increased rapidly, like a rocket, and he achieved one incredible feat after another.

The words spoken in the past have ultimately become jokes uttered in youthful arrogance.

That year, Shen Changchuan left everyone with these words: "I'll give you time to catch up, until you can't catch up at all."
For them, it has gradually become an unshakable fact.

Even now, Chen Mingdao, who was once unconvinced and had never been subdued by Shen Changchuan,

He also had to admit that even if he devoted the rest of his life to it, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve what Shen Changchuan had. However,

Also because he hadn't accepted it in the past,
After joining the Longxiao Sect, he forced himself to work hard and cultivate diligently, taking Shen Changchuan as his role model. For a considerable period of time, even after seeing Shen Changchuan fall further and further behind him, he never gave up and gritted his teeth to put in even more effort.
then,

Although in the end,
Although Shen Changchuan still left him far away, completely out of sight of his back,
However, due to Chen Mingdao's perseverance over the years, his cultivation level has steadily increased.
He has now reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Among the first batch of disciples who joined the Longxiao Sect, including Shen Changchuan.
He is already the number one person after Shen Changchuan!
It is precisely because of this,
Chen Mingdao was able to succeed only when the high-ranking members of the Longxiao Sect went to fight in the Southern Yue region.

He was in charge of all affairs related to the mountain gate.

As the current acting head of the Longxiao Sect, Chen Mingdao was naturally aware of the great reputation Shen Changchuan had made in the Immortal Sect.

Due to the long distance, he did not know the details.

But one thing is enough.
That means Shen Changchuan won first place in this Immortal Sect's internal competition!

That was a grand competition that brought together the most talented cultivators from all thirty-six minor domains of the Southern Domain!

I heard that Senior Brother Hong Yang, who is already at the late stage of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, is also participating in this competition.
As a result, they didn't even make it past the preliminary round!
Shen Changchuan, however, defeated countless geniuses present and became the number one in the Immortal Sect!

To know,
The reason why the Longxiao Sect was able to attract so many geniuses from the Tiannan Region's cultivation world was that many of them wanted to use the Longxiao Sect as a springboard to enter the Yuqing Immortal Sect for cultivation.

For many prodigies in the cultivation world of the Southern Region...

The Jade Purity Immortal Sect is a sacred place in their eyes!

Shen Changchuan was actually able to defeat all the geniuses in the Holy Land and take first place!

The shock this caused in Chen Mingdao's heart was immense!

So much so that when he saw Shen Changchuan,
A hint of fanaticism even appeared in Chen Mingdao's eyes!
But despite this,

Chen Mingdao was not discouraged by this setback and did not completely lose his fighting spirit.

“Senior Brother Shen, you have truly fulfilled the bold statement you made to us thirty years ago.”

"Your achievements are indeed an unattainable distance that we could never catch up to even if we spent our entire lives."

"But I won't give up!"

"Perhaps no matter how hard I try in the future, I will still never see even a trace of your back!"

Even if I spend my whole life trying to catch up with you, the final result will only be failure!

"But even so, I will still strive to move forward!"

Chen Mingdao said with unwavering determination.

Chen Mingdao's words shocked Shen Changchuan.

Perhaps to him, Chen Mingdao's strength was insignificant.

Shen Changchuan could crush him with a single finger.

But the opponent's will, that fighting spirit to forge ahead even knowing defeat is formidable.
This moved even Shen Changchuan!

Ask yourself honestly,

If there were no progress bar panel plugin,
Can Shen Changchuan maintain his fighting spirit in the face of defeat, just like his opponent?
I am afraid,
Not necessarily!
"You're great, I have high hopes for you!"

A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind. Shen Changchuan patted his shoulder and finally managed to squeeze out only this one sentence.
