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

Chapter 914 Handwritten Letter, Becoming an Apprentice (Part Two)

bang,
The Iron Palm Gang leader fell several meters away, his bones and internal organs completely shattered by the force of Shen Changchuan's palm strike.

His body rolled several times.

Finally, he lay on his back on the ground.

Fresh blood was flowing from his seven orifices; he was beyond dead.

On his face,
A deep sense of bewilderment and disbelief still lingers.

Perhaps in the moment before death,
His heart was still filled with an indescribable bitterness.

He only wanted to vent his anger and resentment at his fruitless efforts over the past few days.

So he casually slapped out a palm.

This is not much different from someone throwing their teacup on the ground to vent their anger.

But who could have imagined it?

This was an ordinary boy living in the mountains, an unremarkable existence, someone who should have been an ant that could be crushed at will.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant elephant capable of easily crushing itself with a single stomp.
That feeling,

Just like the teacup you casually smashed on the ground in a fit of anger, it didn't shatter into pieces.
Instead, it suddenly jumped up, its size expanding a hundred or a thousand times, and angrily smashed itself into a pulp!

This is utterly outrageous.

No normal person would probably think of that!

But rather,
It really happened!

The teacup, which was supposed to be smashed casually, actually jumped up and smashed its owner's head, causing him to bleed profusely.

He, a renowned and top-tier expert in the martial arts world, was blasted to death on the spot by a simple palm strike from a wild mountain boy from the deep mountains, without any resistance!

If this were told to outsiders...
Others thought it must be a joke.

But reality is just that absurd and illogical!

Before dying,

He was filled with regret.

If he had known that brat was so terrifying, he would have been out of his mind to provoke him.

But unfortunately,
There's no going back in this world.

So he died.

A prominent figure in the outside world died in a corner unknown to anyone.

Like a weed,
He died an extremely hasty death.

"The Iron Palm Divine Skill does indeed have many mysterious aspects."

Shen Changchuan showed little pride after killing the renowned Iron Palm Gang leader with a single palm strike.

He withdrew his hand.
At this moment, a hint of crimson appeared in his palm.

Although this crimson stain quickly dissipated as Shen Changchuan circulated his true energy and blood.

But there is no doubt that,
The previous clash of palms,

The leader of the Iron Palm Gang also suffered some damage himself!

Shen Changchuan recalled the feeling of that moment of contact and collision, carefully experiencing its subtleties, his expression thoughtful.

After a few breaths,

Shen Changchuan suddenly exerted force and slapped the rock beside him with his palm.

boom!
The afterimage flashed by like lightning, accompanied by a muffled thud, and the rock beside him caved in deeply, forming a dark palm print.

What's even more horrifying is that...

There wasn't a single crack or fissure visible at the edges of those palm prints!

no doubt,

This means that Shen Changchuan's palm strike was extremely restrained, almost without any leakage, so that it could leave a perfect, deep palm print in the rock in an instant, like a knife cut, without cracking at the edges!
"So this is the Iron Palm? Not bad."

Shen Changchuan murmured softly,

He also recalled the moment when he clashed palms with the leader of the Iron Palm Gang. The leader's palm force, which seemed to be condensed into a single iron plate, almost destroyed everything in front of him!
It was precisely that palm force, as condensed as an iron felt, that...

They left some injuries on their palms.

Although he managed to instantly adjust his internal energy using the continuous flow of his Qi Gong and the power that could change at will, transforming it into surging waves to shatter his opponent's unified Iron Palm Qi,
And eventually, it spread along his arm, thus killing him in one fell swoop.

But I have to say,
The other party's methods also have many aspects worth learning from.

Shen Changchuan's palm strike,
It also draws on the opponent's use of palm force, and has three or five parts of the mystery of his Iron Palm Divine Skill!

With this move,
When Shen Changchuan is facing an enemy, his attack power can be increased by a factor of two!

This is already quite remarkable.
After all, Shen Changchuan was merely trying to use the luck and technique he had gleaned from clashing with his opponent, rather than obtaining the original Iron Palm Divine Skill.

If the Iron Palm Clan leader were alive and knew about this,

I'm afraid I'll be scared to death again!
However, it is obvious that

Shen Changchuan didn't take it too seriously.

after all,

The leader of the Iron Palm Clan was merely a first-rate figure in the martial arts world.

He did not overcome the bottleneck at the top and reach the realm of the Innate Grandmaster.

As for the top-tier level in the martial arts world...
Shen Changchuan has basically figured out most of the secrets.

For martial artists at this level, it's naturally not something to worry about too much.

"For me, the most important thing is to find the remaining thirty-six hidden acupoints so that I can have a perfect foundation to embark on the path of transcendence and ascension in this world!"

A deep glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes.

He hadn't forgotten the ultimate goal he needed to achieve after being born into this world.

but,

There's no need to rush.

There is a huge difference in the flow of time between the middle and lower worlds.

According to Ba Gong,

The time flow in this world is more than a hundred times faster than in the world of cultivation.

And the body I'm in right now is only ten years old.

There is still plenty of time ahead.

"Aren't you coming out? Do I need to ask you to come out?"

Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

Shen Changchuan tilted his head slightly, glancing out of the corner of his eye at a patch of lush grass.

As his words fell to the ground

The clump of grass rustled slightly.

Two figures, covered in blood and dust, emerged, trembling unsteadily.
It was Shao Yun and Lin Mofeng, who had been chased earlier!
At this moment, both of them had a look of shock and awe in their eyes.

Clearly, they had all witnessed Shen Changchuan killing the Iron Palm Gang leader with a single palm strike.

The other party didn't seem to be much older than them, yet they possessed such unfathomable strength!

This is simply unbelievable!
The two looked at each other,
Suddenly they all knelt down on the ground, their foreheads hitting the ground hard.

"Thank you so much for saving our lives! My brother and I have no way to repay you, but we are willing to serve you like dogs and horses!"

Shen Changchuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze a mixture of amusement and sarcasm.
“I live here alone and it’s very quiet. I don’t need any of the hassle.”

"As for you, you went into the mountains for no reason and attracted such a powerful enemy. That person looks like someone you shouldn't mess with. He might have a lot of relatives, friends, and disciples behind him. I'm afraid my peaceful days will never be the same again."

"Do you have anything to say about this?"

On a whim,
Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel a little tempted to tease him.

As the voice fell,

Both Shao Yun and Lin Mofeng had cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
The two exchanged a glance again, seemingly exchanging a long, meaningful look, before bowing to Shen Changchuan once more.
"I apologize for disturbing your peaceful cultivation!"

"We brothers have no way to repay this. It is said to be a handwritten letter left by Zhang Daoren before his ascension five hundred years ago. It is also the reason why that old man from the Iron Palm Gang chased us brothers to the ends of the earth."

"This item is more of a curse than a blessing in our hands. We might as well give it to our benefactor to repay his life-saving grace!"

Between talking,

Lin Mofeng took out a thick, folded piece of kraft paper that he kept close to his body and presented it to him with both hands.

"Oh, Zhang Daoren's handwriting?"

Shen Changchuan's face showed surprise.
With a wave of the hand,
A whirlwind suddenly rose in the air, and the piece of parchment in Lin Mofeng's hand seemed to lose its gravity, rising into the air, flying several feet, and landing in Shen Changchuan's hand.

Upon seeing this, Shao Yun and Lin Mofeng lowered their heads and exchanged another glance.

"Hiss, Young Master Feng, what kind of technique is this?"

"I don't know if there's a martial arts technique called Dragon Capturing Skill that can retrieve objects from a distance, but that would be much more tumultuous, and other things could be sucked in if you're not careful. This person's effortless technique is almost unheard of!"

"It looks like we've encountered a peerless master who lives in seclusion deep in the mountains. This one looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his age and appearance are definitely not the same. He might be an old fellow with supernatural powers who can reverse aging!"

"Do you think we should become his disciples? If we learn even a few of his techniques, with his strength to crush that old codger of the Iron Palm Gang with a single palm strike, it would definitely be enough for the two of us brothers to make our way in the martial world!"

"It would be great to become an apprentice, but would they accept us?"

"We've already given out Master Zhang's letter, and this one doesn't seem as greedy as the old bastard of the Iron Palm Clan. There shouldn't be any problem. We'll see how things go later!"

Even if I can't become an apprentice, learning one or two moves would be great!

"OK then"

In the blink of an eye, the two completed their exchange.

It would be hard for outsiders to imagine how these two could convey so much information with just a glance or two.

Shen Changchuan couldn't understand it either.
"You two, were you talking about something just now?"

Shen Changchuan put away the parchment he had just glanced at.
His gaze fell on the two people still kneeling on the ground, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He had a vague feeling,
Those two guys seemed to be exchanging something just now.

"No no!"

"My benefactor is too kind. My brother and I haven't exchanged a single word!"

Shao Yun and Lin Mofeng waved their hands repeatedly and said,

Shao Yun even managed a few playful smiles on his face.

But under Shen Changchuan's scrutinizing gaze,

Both of them broke out in a cold sweat.

"Damn it, how can this old guy's senses be so sharp!"

In a flash,

A thought flashed through Shao Yun's mind.

He glanced at Lin Moyun beside him out of the corner of his eye, and Lin Moyun responded with the same shocked thought.

The two of them had lived together since childhood and had become sworn brothers, developing a kind of telepathic connection that was even more acute than that between biological brothers.

You can tell what the other person is thinking with just a glance.

It was through this that they survived by stealing and cheating on the chaotic streets in their childhood.

This is the first time that such an ability has been noticed by others!
"never mind."

Shen Changchuan waved his hand lightly, too lazy to delve any further, and said in a low voice:
"The things you sent me are of great use to me."

"Consider it a favor I owe you. Do you have something in mind?"

"If it's not too much, I'll just repay this favor to you."

I originally wanted to tease these two little guys a bit,
It's a way to relieve the boredom of these years spent practicing alone in the mountains.

However, the handwritten letter from Zhang Daoren, who shattered the void five hundred years ago, that the other party presented was very interesting, which made Shen Changchuan too lazy to continue playing.

This handwritten note contains many secrets, and it will take some time to carefully study and understand them.

"The Secret to Ascension"

A glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes, and his pupils became incredibly deep.

This is the great secret that points directly to the end of the road in this world!

If one can understand this, then the basic goal of coming to this world will be achieved!

According to the description in the legacy left by the Dao Ancestor of Reincarnation, if one's spirit travels to another world and completes ascension and escapes there, one can bring back the Dao Fruit that was condensed in that world, which then becomes the resources for further growth of one's own body!

When I first received the inheritance from the Ancestor of Reincarnation,
Shen Changchuan thought that the so-called Dao Fruits and Resources of another world referred to the power systems of other worlds, as well as all the experiences and memories of his avatars in those worlds.

But later,
After advancing to the Divine Travel Realm
After preparing for the transmigration and truly learning the legacy of the Ancestor of Reincarnation,
Shen Changchuan then understood,
The Dao Fruits and Resources brought back by the Divine Transformation described here are not just the power system of another world and the experiences and memories of that other world—things that are dispensable!

What use are these things?
Take, for example, the martial arts of Qigong in this world. According to Shen Changchuan's calculations, even if one reaches the level of a Grandmaster or even a Supreme Grandmaster, in the cultivation world, one would only be at the Nascent Soul stage!

Let's not even discuss whether Qigong and martial arts can compare to the path of cultivating immortality.

Even if the former is stronger than the latter, it's still a big question whether this other world's power system can still be used back in the original world!
As for the memories and experiences of being distracted in another world, struggling until transcending it, perhaps this can make a person more "mature".
However, it did not provide much substantial improvement to its own essence.

Things will remain the same as before.
It's just that I've had a few more "experiences".

How can such a small amount of stuff be considered as resources for attaining enlightenment?
That's indeed the case!
After learning the legacy of the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor, Shen Changchuan realized that the memories and experiences of those otherworldly power systems were merely minor, incidental benefits.

The real benefits
It is a certain Dao Fruit with a "transcendent" essence, which is achieved through the advancement of the spirit after ascension!

This kind of enlightenment,

It is the crystallization of a world.

The benefits of concentrating a small universe!

Even if the possibility of an avatar ascending to immortality in another world is less than one in ten thousand,

I'm still willing to risk the enormous damage of being distracted and disappearing forever to gain the greatest benefit from the journey!

As long as we can bring back one Dao Fruit.

The benefits gained far outweigh the risks and losses!
Shen Changchuan had no idea what specific changes this fruit could bring to him.
But possessing such a significant advantage,
We can't afford to waste such a great opportunity to travel through time!
