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

Chapter 882 Plans and Intentions (Two chapters combined)

"it is good!"

"very good!"

"Changchuan, with such talent, you have a good chance of reaching the Profound Core Realm within a hundred years!"

Master Qian Yuan looked at Shen Changchuan before him with great excitement.

The gloomy mood that had been lingering in his heart because of You Longzi's failure to break through to the Xuan Dan realm was completely dispelled by Shen Changchuan's presence.

Deep down, they couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

His gaze as he looked at Shen Changchuan
His eyes filled with a look of relief!

this moment,
He saw the future of Wanrenfeng in Shen Changchuan!

It was no wonder that Master Qian Yuan was so excited.

The reason is simply that the talent Shen Changchuan is displaying is far too important!
If Shen Changchuan is merely at the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao...
Although he would value it, and after You Longzi's failure, he would devote even more resources from the Wanren Peak lineage to nurturing him.
But it shouldn't be to the point of such excitement!

This is because,

Although cultivators who have advanced from the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage to the Divine Travel stage can later advance to the Profound Core stage by fully comprehending the true meaning,

However, the path to fully comprehending the true meaning is not easy.

There are also bottlenecks in understanding the true meaning.

Just like when one is in the Out-of-Body Realm, trying to raise one's comprehension of true meaning to one-tenth of its level...
Every step forward is likely to encounter difficulties and bottlenecks.

If one cannot understand and overcome that bottleneck, then no matter how many rare and precious materials one possesses, one will not be able to cross that obstacle.

The path of perfecting one's true meaning and entering the realm of the Profound Core is actually not much easier than the orthodox path of cultivating immortality and refining Qi.

Of course,
Cultivators capable of completing the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment
That person would undoubtedly be a once-in-a-millennium genius, possessing extremely high talent in comprehending and cultivating true meaning.

Those beings who can comprehend even one-tenth of the true meaning at the Nascent Soul stage...

After breaking through to the realm of divine travel, it is not too difficult for such a person to gradually improve their understanding of the true meaning to perfection in subsequent cultivation.

Also because of this,

Those cultivators who can establish their foundation in the Heavenly Dao will generally be able to reach the Profound Core Realm in the future.

After all, being able to establish a foundation in the Heavenly Dao is itself the mark of a genius among geniuses, a prodigy among prodigies!

For ordinary cultivators in the Divine Travel Realm, comprehending the true meaning is extremely difficult. However, for prodigies who can comprehend one-tenth of the true meaning even in the Nascent Soul Realm, the speed of comprehending the true meaning will only be faster after entering the Divine Travel Realm.

However, it is highly probable that a Foundation Establisher of the Heavenly Dao will be able to advance to the Profound Core Realm in the future.

Not absolutely!

There is no such thing as absolute success in this world.

According to True Person Qian Yuan, in those ancient holy lands of the Central Plains cultivation world, there have always been prodigies in the Divine Travel Realm who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao, but ultimately could not cross the barrier of the Profound Core Realm and enter the Profound Core Realm.

If Shen Changchuan only had the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage...
In Qian Yuan Zhenren's view, there is always the possibility of failure in the future.

Perhaps they will get stuck at some point in their comprehension of the true meaning, and then they will be unable to make any further progress, and naturally they will be unable to advance to the Profound Core Realm.

This possibility,
It's not that it doesn't exist!
but,

After it was confirmed that Shen Changchuan possessed that special talent, the situation changed!

That only concern or worry no longer exists in the face of Shen Changchuan's special talent!

It can perfectly digest and enhance the progress of true understanding, with no bottlenecks in the process.
Or,

Even if there is a bottleneck, it can be overcome directly by using the effects of those rare treasures of heaven and earth that can help improve the progress of true understanding!
With such heaven-defying talent, which even True Immortal Qian Yuan has almost never seen before.

After Shen Changchuan successfully established his Heavenly Dao Foundation...
This means that,

With enough resources, Shen Changchuan is destined to reach the Xuan Dan realm!
at this point,
Extremely important!
After a series of failures, Wan Renfeng could no longer accept this final defeat!
Actually, before You Longzi, Wanren Peak had another genius disciple who was originally being groomed by True Person Qian Yuan and others, and who had a 70-80% chance of advancing to the Profound Core Realm.
But unfortunately,
When it came to taking that final step, the opponent ultimately failed.

Moreover, the consequences of failure are dire.

Repeated failures and huge investments that resulted in total financial ruin almost broke down the resolve of Qian Yuan Zhenren and Ban Shan Lao Zu, making them almost afraid to gamble any further!
Shen Changchuan's existence, with his special talent, means that given enough resources, he is destined to reach the Profound Core Realm in the future.

That certainty,
How could Master Qian Yuan, who was used to failure time and time again, not be excited?
As long as there are enough resources to assist in comprehending the true meaning, Shen Changchuan will be able to enter the Profound Core Realm, allowing Wanren Peak to continue its inheritance for at least another thousand years!

even,
Given the potential and talent Shen Changchuan has shown, he may be qualified to explore realms beyond the Profound Core Realm in the future!
Every time I think of this,

Master Qian Yuan was naturally overjoyed!

"There is hope for its inheritance! There is hope for the inheritance of Wanren Peak!"

Master Qian Yuan couldn't help but shed tears, his heart filled with deep emotion.

Having grown up on Wanren Peak since childhood and experienced countless years, he had long regarded Wanren Peak as his home.

Before I die of old age, my only concern is...
Only the legacy of Wanren Peak, which runs through countless memories of his entire life, remains!
As people get older, they become nostalgic.

Ordinary people in the mortal world, when they reach old age, all want to return to the hometown where they grew up, and want to return to their roots.

This Wanren Peak, encompassing most of Qian Yuan Zhenren's life memories, those past recollections, have enriched the splendor of his life.

True Man Qian Yuan naturally did not want it to disappear.

This is why he and his master, the Mountain Moving Ancestor, both value the inheritance of Wanren Peak's descendants so much!
I thought I was about to fall into an abyss.

But in the blink of an eye, things took a turn for the better, and a glimmer of hope appeared.

Even one day,
Wan Renfeng may be able to carry forward his talents under the guidance of Shen Changchuan, who has even greater potential.
If that's really the case...
He probably won't live to see this happen.
But that's enough for me to rest in peace!
"Changchuan boy, from now on, you can focus on your cultivation in this southern Yue region."

"Rest assured, even if your master and great-grandfather are reduced to dust, we will spare no effort to gather the resources you need for your upgrade!"

Master Qian Yuan solemnly spoke, giving Shen Changchuan a guarantee from his grandmaster.

If it can help Shen Changchuan advance to the Profound Core Realm, then even burning away his already weakened body with little life left would be worthwhile!
Between talking,

Even on his somewhat aged face, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"With your talent, as long as there are enough resources, we might even have a chance to see you break through before we die of old age!"

The issue of Wanrenfeng's inheritance

These years have become his deepest and final obsession.

Now, the dawn is just around the corner.

How can we prevent Qian Yuan Zhenren from getting excited?

Fortunately, Master Qian Yuan was, after all, a being who had lived for over a thousand years.
After a brief moment of excitement, he gradually suppressed his thoughts.

He looked again at Shen Changchuan, who was respectful and showed no arrogance or pride, and felt even more satisfied.

He then asked in a kind voice:

"Do you have any plans for your future cultivation?" "If you have any plans to go out and gain experience after reaching a certain stage in the future, please let me know in advance."

After suppressing his excitement, Master Qian Yuan realized something.

He certainly hoped that Shen Changchuan could stay here in seclusion and cultivate until he reached the Xuan Dan realm.

After all, he had secretly reinforced the array around Broken Soul City for this purpose; its defenses were even capable of withstanding attacks from a True Person at the Profound Core Realm.

The safety of this Broken Soul City now...
It was already enough to sustain him until he came from the Immortal Sect to provide support.

Furthermore, with the tide receding in the southern Yue region, attention has shifted away from other areas.

In the face of major events such as the upcoming grand competition jointly organized by several top hegemonic forces in the Southeast Continent, and the impending war between the Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect,
This land,
It will become insignificant.

It's worthless, and nobody cares anymore!
As a result,
This remote and secluded place, far from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and from all the conflicts, will become the safest and most suitable place for Shen Changchuan to cultivate in seclusion!

If Shen Changchuan could stay in this Broken Soul City indefinitely to cultivate in seclusion...
So, before he advances to the Profound Core realm...

This will undoubtedly greatly reduce the chances of accidents during the journey!
But the problem is,
Even if Shen Changchuan possesses such special talent,
Even though he and his master, the Mountain-Moving Ancestor, did their utmost to search for all kinds of rare and precious materials that could aid in comprehending the true meaning,
However, it would take Shen Changchuan at least a hundred years of hard work to advance from the early stage of the Divine Travel Realm to the Profound Core Realm!

This is not just because he needs to digest those rare and precious herbs.
It is also a matter concerning the improvement of one's cultivation level and foundation!

Admittedly,

With his talent, Shen Changchuan might be able to reach perfection in his understanding of the true meaning within a few decades, with their full support.

But at that time,
No matter how hard he tries, his cultivation level will probably remain at the seventh or eighth level of the Divine Travel Realm.

At such a level of cultivation, one can achieve a perfect breakthrough by utilizing true intent.

Although this will not cause them to lack the characteristics of the Profound Core Realm,
However, such an advancement with insufficient foundation is definitely the weakest level among those in the Profound Core Realm!
Master Qian Yuan didn't want the promising Shen Changchuan to end up in such a predicament!

Therefore, while nurturing Shen Changchuan's progress in comprehending the true meaning, it is also impossible to neglect his improvement in cultivation level.

But in this way,
To simultaneously advance in both understanding the true meaning and improving one's cultivation level...

That would take at least a hundred years!

And hundreds of years of secluded cultivation
Even for those at the Profound Core Realm with lifespans of over a thousand years,

These were all periods of relatively long seclusion.

Moreover, Shen Changchuan is an active young man.
Shen Changchuan, so young,

Is it possible to endure the loneliness of staying indoors for over a hundred years?
That's probably difficult!

When people stay in one place for too long, they eventually need to go out and explore, experience different things, and see the local customs and culture.

Otherwise, what's the difference between staying in Broken Soul City like this and being imprisoned?
As the strongest expert in the Profound Core Realm,
Master Qian Yuan was also very clear about this.

One's mood has a significant impact on cultivation efficiency.

If one remains confined to a small space for decades, feeling frustrated and depressed, the improvement of one's cultivation level will only be half as effective!
This is not a good thing for Shen Changchuan's cultivation.

But if one leaves this Broken Soul City and appears in the outside world,

The possibility of Shen Changchuan being exposed will increase dramatically!
If forced to act,

His discovery of his Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment will inevitably attract countless eyes and bring countless schemes and troubles!

This is too dangerous!
In the blink of an eye, numerous thoughts flashed through Qian Yuan Zhenren's mind.

This also gave him a bit of a headache.

"Fine, at worst I'll just hide behind Changchuan and act as his protector when he goes out to train."

"If anyone sees him make a move and recognizes that he has reached the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage, then I will take immediate action to eliminate any possibility of the news leaking out!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Qian Yuan Zhenren's heart.

As the future of Wanren Peak

No one can pose a threat to him!

The thoughts in Qian Yuan Zhenren's heart
Shen Changchuan had no idea.

When asked by his master, Shen Changchuan considered for a moment, then shook his head and gave his answer:

"Grandmaster, I am well aware that the matter of establishing one's foundation in the Heavenly Dao is of utmost importance. If the situation becomes known to outsiders, it will surely bring great danger to them!"

"Therefore, if there are sufficient cultivation resources, I do not intend to go out casually."

"As for training and such, let's try to reach the Profound Core Realm first."

"Only when you have sufficient self-protection capabilities should you pursue other things."

Shen Changchuan bowed respectfully and spoke earnestly.

He wasn't really that interested in going on adventures.

For him,

If he could improve his strength by simply lying low, he wouldn't mind becoming the Sword God of Shili Slope for a while.

He wasn't the type of person who liked to run around everywhere.

Before,
If it weren't for the need to plan for cultivation resources and acquire what he needed to advance in his cultivation, Shen Changchuan would probably be happy to stay in Dawan Village to cultivate forever!

Don't be fooled by his various challenges against opponents of higher levels and his seemingly enjoyable slaying of powerful enemies.

But those who walk the line between life and death, where a slight misstep could lead to their demise...

Perhaps some thrill-seekers will like it.
But Shen Changchuan didn't like it.

now,

According to the master's words,

His grandmaster and great-grandmaster will do everything they can to meet his needs for future cultivation, so he won't have to go out and risk his life.

Why would he go looking for trouble, want to die, and create more difficulties for himself?

not to mention,
"Compared to going out to gain experience and encountering unpredictable risks, I'd rather try the inheritance of the Lord of Reincarnation and reincarnate my soul to travel to other worlds to gain experience!"

"If my avatar can successfully return from another world, it can also bring me the resources for further advancement in that world. Wouldn't that be better than my main body wandering aimlessly in this dangerous cultivation world?"

"This cultivation world is too dangerous, with powerful figures everywhere. I might accidentally fall in some unknown corner. I'd better wait until I have enough self-defense capabilities before exploring this world!"

"Moreover, isn't the experience gained from cultivating in another world far more extensive than that gained from training in this cultivation world?"

A glint of light flashed in the depths of Shen Changchuan's eyes.

Regarding future plans,
He already had a general idea.
