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

Chapter 864 The Profound Elixir Opportunity, The Transmigrator (Three Chapters Combined)

"Is that true? If so, that would be for the best!"

"Does the Holy Maiden have any brilliant plan?"

Situ Yuan's voice was gentle, and his face was utterly kind.

It gives people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

Anyone here would not think that Situ Yuan on the other side is an enemy.

however,
Upon seeing this, Shi Mengting not only did not lower her guard in the slightest because of the other party's attitude, but a trace of apprehension flashed deep in her eyes.

The truly terrifying enemy is not someone who openly and blatantly intends to kill you.
Instead, they are the kind of enemies who lurk in the shadows, always greeting you with a smile and making you feel comfortable when you are with them, but who can turn on you unexpectedly and stab you in the back at any time!
In Shi Mengting's eyes at this moment,
Situ Yuan, standing before us, is such a person!
And she also believes,
If you cannot present a plan that convinces the other party, you will inevitably face their turning against you!

Even after all the plans were completed and the goals were logically achieved,
If you are unprepared, you will inevitably be discarded by the other party after they have served their purpose, and they will eliminate any future troubles for you!

Ah, the righteous path, the demonic path.
A sneer flashed through Shi Mengting's mind as well.

If we judge whether someone is a righteous or demonic cultivator solely by their character, then Situ Yuan is undoubtedly a demonic cultivator!
But now, his identity is that of a righteous and outstanding genius!

How utterly ironic!
Whether it's the righteous path or the demonic path, in the end it's just a matter of the victor taking all.

However, at this point, the two were still business partners.
Therefore, although Shi Mengting had many thoughts in her mind, she did not show them on the surface.

"Senior, please rest assured, my plan will surely ensure that Shen Changchuan dies!"

Shi Mengting spoke softly.

However, Situ Yuan remained expressionless and showed no reaction.

The meaning is also obvious.

Shi Mengting sighed inwardly, knowing that if she couldn't clearly explain the plan,
The other party won't believe it.
There's a risk of things turning sour next.

"Senior, are you aware that there might be an opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm in the Southern Yue region?"

Without any choice,

Shi Mengting had no choice but to let slip some information.

"Oh? What opportunity at the Profound Core Realm? What does that have to do with besieging and killing that kid?"

Situ Yuan's eyes flashed, and he asked as if he knew nothing.

He had naturally heard that the Southern Yue region might offer an opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm.

This is a rumor that has recently surfaced.

However, it seems that the higher-ups have already reached an agreement on this matter.
The conquest of the Southern Yue region remains in the hands of Wan Renfeng, and is overseen by You Longzi, one of the Seven Immortals of the Immortal Sect from Wan Renfeng. They have no way to intervene.

Actually,
Situ Yuan's reason for approaching Shen Changchuan was perhaps to find a breakthrough through Shen Changchuan.

Situ Yuan didn't actually know much about the details of the legendary opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm.

"Three thousand years ago, a man emerged from obscurity in the land of Nanyue, breaking the record that no one had ever achieved before, and successfully entered the realm of Xuan Dan. He was known as the God of Gu by the local natives of Nanyue. After achieving the Xuan Dan realm, he called himself the Immortal of Minghuan!"

"Of course, this so-called immortal is just a title given by arrogant fools. In reality, that one should be called the True Man of Bright Universe."

"However, that is not important. What is important is that Minghuan Zhenren disappeared shortly after entering the Xuandan Realm, vanishing without a trace, and no one knows his whereabouts."

"Decades ago, someone discovered the remains of the Minghuan Master in a secluded cave, which triggered a fierce battle in the Nanyue region that almost swept across the entire Nanyue area."

Shi Mengting spoke softly.
As she spoke, a strange glint flashed in her eyes.

That's a bit strange, really.

This land is clearly already a barren borderland of the southeastern continent.
The lineage of cultivating immortality and attaining enlightenment is incomplete.
Some tribes even still practice the ancient 'shaman' rituals passed down from time immemorial.

As a result, throughout the hundreds of thousands of years of history on this land, no one has ever reached the divine realm of the Profound Core stage.

Until that Minghuan Zhenren suddenly rose to prominence and attained enlightenment for reasons unknown.

If it were just Master Minghuan alone, it wouldn't be enough to attract Shi Mengting's attention.

She hadn't forgotten the foundation of her lineage within the Heavenly Demon Sect—

Even the lineage that joined the Heavenly Demon Sect was left behind by the Elephant Mountain Sect, which was destroyed by the Jade Purity Sect three hundred years ago.

The reason why the Xiangshan Sect was destroyed back then
The existence of the Enlightenment Stone was largely due to the fact that the Xiangshan Sect was able to produce a Three-Mystery Pill in a short period of time, breaking the existing order and putting it under increasing pressure from the Yuqing Sect.
Regarding the rights and wrongs of that period of history

Shi Mengting was too lazy to investigate.
What she was interested in was the Enlightenment Stone, whose effects were so extraordinary that it could break the existing order of the cultivation world and allow cultivators to lower the threshold for advancing to the Profound Core Realm!

To know,
In the cultivation world outside, the chance of anyone who can enter the Divine Travel Realm eventually reaching the Profound Core Realm is less than one in ten thousand!

Even for a hegemon like the Jade Purity Sect, which occupies thirty-six small domains, the probability of eventually reaching the Profound Core Realm is ten times higher than in the outside world. It is still possible for only one in a thousand Divine Travelers to reach the Profound Core Realm!

The Xiangshan Sect three hundred years ago
It's incredible that three Xuan Dan Realm True Persons have emerged in such a short period of time!

This gives you an idea of ​​just how terrifying and wondrous that Enlightenment Stone must be!

The Tiannan Region, where the Xiangshan Sect was located back then, was adjacent to the Nanyue region.
This barren wasteland, which had always been considered a wasteland by the central cultivation world, had unexpectedly undergone such changes, which made Shi Mengting really think more about it.

"So what? What does that Minghuan Zhenren have to do with the opportunity to advance to the Xuan Dan realm? And what does it have to do with killing that brat Shen Changchuan?"

Situ Yuan frowned.
Asked aloud.

"Don't rush, senior."

"Since the junior has brought this up, it is certainly not without reason."

"The opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm is related to the legacy of that True Person Minghuan."

"The chaotic battle that took place in the cave ruins back then directly resulted in the Minghuan Gu Scripture left behind by True Person Minghuan being torn to pieces and scattered to various places with the spatial turbulence."

"And most importantly, when the great battle came to an end, the entire cave heaven ruins collapsed due to years of disrepair. At that time, immortal light soared into the sky, and the lingering phantom of the Ming Huan True Man, who was left behind in the core of the cave heaven ruins, appeared in the void. The Ming Huan True Man from three thousand years ago left some words for everyone present at that time through the Gu worms."

"Those words contained information about the opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm!"

"What words?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Yuan's expression changed slightly.

He only knew that resources for advancing to the Profound Core Realm existed in this Southern Yue region, but he had never known the details of this opportunity.

Hearing such a secret all of a sudden,

He had no choice but to listen carefully.

"The words left behind by that lingering phantom of True Immortal Minghuan at that time were—"

Shi Mengting paused for a moment, recalling those words, and a look of struggle flashed across her face.

However, she still tried to imitate the tone of that lingering phantom of True Immortal Minghuan, and said:

"Greetings, fellow juniors. My name is Zheng Mingyan. I was fortunate enough to advance to the Profound Core Realm and adopted the Daoist name Minghuan. I am honored by the respect shown to me by my friends outside, who call me Immortal Minghuan."

"Of course I know that the title of immortal is somewhat presumptuous, but then again, who can be sure that I won't become a true immortal in the future?"

"I don't know how much time has passed since you broke my legacy, causing the image-recording Gu I left behind to reappear in the world, or whether I am still alive in this world."

"But it's alright, I'm already satisfied to have reached this point on the path of cultivation!"

"Now, I've discovered something very interesting and I'm preparing to do something big. If I succeed, then maybe my title of Immortal Minghuan will be confirmed, and I'll live forever and be carefree and immortal. Of course, if I fail, I might just die completely."

"But thinking about it carefully, if I die, all my knowledge and research will vanish into thin air. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

"So I decided to leave behind all the knowledge and skills I have learned before doing that big thing."

"The Minghuan Gu Scripture in this cave contains records of second-tier Gu worms. Consider it a taste of the sweetness I'm giving you. My true inheritance, concerning the third-tier Gu Dao inheritance, is still in another place. You will have to pass my remaining trials there before you can obtain my final inheritance."

"Let me tell you a secret. Besides my entire legacy, I've left behind something else that can help cultivators at the peak of the Divine Realm break through to the Profound Core Realm. It can even increase the success rate of Core Formation by at least 30%!"

"Want my treasure? You can have it all. Go find it! I've hidden all my treasure there!"

"Jiejiejiejiejie"

Shi Mengting imitated the tone of the illusory figure of Minghuan Zhenren and repeated his words.

Actually,
Shi Mengting was not present at the time.
These words were relayed to her by others.

Even after being relayed,

Shi Mengting also sensed something inappropriate in those words.

"Are you sure that this is what the illusory image of the Minghuan True Person left behind?"

Situ Yuan was clearly silent for a long while.
He hesitated for a moment before asking the question.

A person who says such things doesn't seem like a decent person.

Would a decent person talk like that?

It doesn't sound like something a Xuan Dan realm expert would say.

"That's true."

"Those who heard those words at the time, although many were killed by the top forces of the Southern Yue region, such as the Netherworld Sect, the Seven Absolutes Sect, and the White Bone Sect, some still managed to escape alive."

Shi Mengting nodded, confirming the truth of the matter.

Situ Yuan opened his mouth,
I didn't know what to say for a while.

"In fact, when the Netherworld Sect invaded the Southern Yue region in the Tiannan Region, a large part of their forces were searching for the place of inheritance that True Person Minghuan mentioned, which allowed those guys from the Tiannan Region to advance so easily."

"Now that the Netherworld Sect has personally intervened, there has naturally been some progress."

Shi Mengting continued speaking.

"But what does all of this have to do with killing Shen Changchuan?"

Situ Yuan composed himself and quickly recovered.
At the same time, attention returned to the original question.

The opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm or not is actually not very relevant to him.

Currently, his cultivation level is only at the fourth level of the Divine Travel Realm.

There is still a long way to go before reaching the peak of the Divine Travel Realm.

Even if he were to be so fortunate as to obtain the so-called opportunity to assist in advancing to the Profound Core Realm left behind by True Person Minghuan, it would not be of much use to him.

Therefore, when he first heard these secrets from Shi Mengting, although he was shocked, he didn't pay much attention to them. Perhaps he could pass this news on to others, making the situation in the Southern Yue region even more chaotic.

It could even disrupt the plans of his former master, preventing him from actually advancing to the Profound Core realm.

Aside from that, it doesn't seem to have much other use.

and,

What does all this have to do with the ambush and killing of Shen Changchuan?
He hadn't forgotten,

My purpose in coming here is simply to nip this promising young talent, Shen Changchuan, in the bud!

"Of course there is!"

"Once the inheritance assessment of True Person Minghuan begins, your two disciples from the Jade Purity Sect will inevitably go there to compete for it. At that time, the forces around Shen Changchuan will be at their weakest!"

"Moreover, once the inheritance is activated, it will ignite the final melee. In that chaos, if Shen Changchuan is killed, no one will be able to find any clues!"

"Of course, in order to make that kid fall into the trap as we expected, we need to plan even more carefully."

"We have to set a trap that that guy can't refuse!"

Shi Mengting spoke eloquently.

Situ Yuan fell into deep thought, his eyes gleaming.

the other side,
Shen Changchuan transformed into a beam of light and soared through the sky, the clouds beneath his feet flashing past rapidly, almost creating a series of afterimages.

At this time,
Shen Changchuan gazed at the vast expanse of sky and earth in the distance, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

"The opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm? The Minghuan Gu Scripture actually has such an inside story!"

Shen Changchuan murmured to himself.

The words he had spoken with Senior Sister Wei not long ago flashed through his mind.

This made his gaze become increasingly profound.

Ming Huan Gu Jing

He was naturally aware of this.
He even had two tattered pages in his hand.

Furthermore, they even refined all the Gu worms recorded in it.

These are the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Gu and the Void Escape Gu.

And these two kinds of Gu worms

It also played a significant role in Shen Changchuan's cultivation process!
we can even say,
These are the important cornerstones that enabled Shen Changchuan to reach this point in such a short time!

however,
Although he successfully refined the two Gu worms, Shen Changchuan's understanding of Minghuan Zhenren and Minghuan Gu Scripture was practically nonexistent.

He knew that the Minghuan Gu Scripture had appeared decades ago.

He also knew that decades ago, the ruins of True Man Minghuan appeared, triggering a great war between demonic cultivators in the Southern Yue region, and that the Minghuan Gu Scripture eventually disappeared into the void during the battle.

But we know absolutely nothing about what happened inside the ruins!
At least in all the information he had collected about Master Minghuan and the site of Master Minghuan's ruins, there was no mention of any afterimage of the last Master Minghuan who appeared, let alone his words.

This is actually understandable.

This concerns the opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm.

Those high-ranking members of the demonic path must be on high alert, blocking any possible leaks of information.

If it weren't for the sudden invasion of the Southern Yue region by the Righteous Alliance of the Southern Region...
Furthermore, under some unexpected circumstances, Master You Longzi learned of this news from a high-ranking prisoner. He probably never imagined that there would be such a secret in the cave ruins left by the Minghuan Zhenren, which was opened decades ago!
At that time, I was only at the fourth or fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, so I was obviously not qualified to access such top-level intelligence information.

Or rather, even if he came into contact with it, it wouldn't have made any sense, so naturally his master didn't tell him.

Even Senior Sister Wei and the others only learned about it recently due to the changing situation.

Shen Changchuan understood this.

but,

Compared to others who were more focused on the place of inheritance and the opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm mentioned by True Immortal Minghuan,
What Shen Changchuan cared about more was the tone of voice of the illusory figure of Ming Huan!

eccentric!
So weird!

Those words sounded rather nonsensical.

and,

If I remember correctly

That line, "Want my treasure? You can have it all! Go find it! I've left all my treasure there!", is it from the beginning of the One Piece manga, when Roger was publicly executed?

As for that final "hehehehehe," that definitely belongs to an old Soul Palace!

These familiar words,
This undoubtedly stirred up the deepest memories in Shen Changchuan's mind!
This,

It was also a thought that he couldn't suppress rising in his mind.
Could it be that Master Minghuan, like himself, is a transmigrator from Earth?!

When this thought flashed through my mind
Shen Changchuan's expression changed constantly.

There is the joy of meeting an old friend in a completely unfamiliar world decades later, the kind of joy that comes from meeting someone from a foreign land.

There are also concerns that two tigers cannot share the same mountain, and since the other party attained enlightenment three thousand years earlier than them, there is a possibility that they might stab each other in the back when they meet in their hometown.

of course,

Or perhaps it's all just a coincidence, and the other person isn't a time traveler, nor are their words from a previous life's One Piece or Battle Through the Heavens.
It was all just a coincidence.

Various thoughts flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind, leaving him with a complex mix of emotions.

My mind is in complete chaos.
As a result, I started to feel a bit of a headache.

"Forget it, the Minghuan Master has been missing for three thousand years. He has gone to some unknown place, and we don't know if he is dead or alive. Whether he is a time traveler or not is no longer relevant."

"So what if he's a time traveler? He's not even here."

"Perhaps when I am stronger, and I come back to search for the secrets here, I will discover something that can truly reveal the secret of the other party's identity."

"But for now, let's focus on the present!"

A multitude of thoughts swirled in my mind, the jumbled thoughts giving me a headache.
Shen Changchuan finally let out a long sigh and stopped thinking about it.
I suppressed all these thoughts in my heart.

Whether the other person is a time traveler or not is meaningless to him now.

Whether the other person is a time traveler or not, he can't change anything.

In comparison,

The opportunity to reach the Profound Core Realm is undoubtedly more important right now.

Although he doesn't need the opportunity to advance to the Profound Core Realm for the time being.

But there is no doubt that
The existence of this thing will turn the land of Nanyue into a terrifying meat grinder!
"Something's brewing beneath the surface!"

Shen Changchuan sighed again.
not long ago,

My master was ambushed and injured by the Demonic Alliance because the Netherworld Sect used the Minghuan Zhenren's assessment site as bait to set a trap, thus severely injuring my master!

According to Senior Sister Wei, that place wasn't entirely a scam.

Indeed, traces of the Minghuan Zhenren (a legendary figure) do exist there.
It's just that the Demonic Alliance website is still inaccessible.

Against this backdrop,
I fear that an even larger war will soon begin.

"I'll try my best to help. If Master can really advance to the Profound Core Realm, it will definitely be a good thing for me!"

A glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes.

If You Longzi succeeds, he will also become a disciple of the Xuan Dan sect.

With such a big tree to shelter him, his future cultivation will undoubtedly be more secure!

"That's perfect, I can take this opportunity to ask Master about the final 0.1% progress in comprehending the true meaning."

"If I can advance to the Divine Travel Realm, I will be able to play an even greater role!"

I just hope everything goes well!

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind, and he thought to himself.

I have a general plan in mind.

Shen Changchuan didn't intend to waste any more energy on this issue.

Put all those thoughts behind you.
Empty your mind.

While flying rapidly high in the sky, he also focused part of his mind on cultivating his magic.

Shen Changchuan didn't know if he could obtain from his master or grandmaster the rare treasures of heaven and earth that would allow him to transcend the final 0.1% of the progress.

to this end,

He naturally needed to make some preparations in advance.

For example, the tens of thousands of spells on the cultivation progress bar panel.

If I could cultivate them to perfection myself,
Even if one cannot obtain help from one's master or grandmaster,
I still have a way out!
Mastering 15,000 spells will result in a significant boost to experience and attributes.

The accumulated experience is enough to reduce that final 0.1% leap.

If not,

Then I can just spend a few more years cultivating another 20,000 to 30,000 techniques!
Shen Changchuan refused to believe that it was truly impossible to take that final step!
Also because of this,

In order to prepare for the future, Shen Changchuan naturally needed to make the most of every spare moment to perfect several spells.

Seven or eight days passed in a flash.

Shen Changchuan quickly arrived at the Broken Soul Mountain Range.

And along this journey,

He also successfully added seventy or eighty perfect-level spells to the progress bar panel.
This made Shen Changchuan somewhat satisfied.
