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

Chapter 923 Plan, Intent (Two-in-One)

As a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, and a senior figure in the Beggars' Sect second only to its leader Guo Jianglong,
Lu Changhe is definitely one of the top figures in the martial arts world!

Such a person,
The Dragon's True Skill that he carries with him could never be an ordinary martial art!

Ordinary cultivation techniques are not worth carrying around.

Perhaps for Lu Changhe, this is the most profound and rare skill he has ever encountered!
Only the divine skills and techniques that they cherish as treasures,

Only then are they qualified to carry it with them at all times for daily study and practice!

but,
Even the most highly regarded martial arts techniques in the martial arts world...
It still only involves one hundred acupoints.

Not a complete set of one hundred and eight!

This is undoubtedly not a good thing for Shen Changchuan!
"Even someone like Lu Changhe doesn't have the cultivation techniques he carries with him, so where am I supposed to find the remaining eight acupoints?"

"Could it be that in the end, the only option is to go to those famous mountains and rivers, to seek out those ancient forces in the martial arts world that have been passed down for thousands of years?"

For a while,
Shen Changchuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

Therefore, after this,

He opened up more than a dozen acupoints, and his strength improved again. He was only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

Coupled with his own vision and strength at the Divine Realm level in his main world, he is now one of the few in the world who can rival him.

But I have to say,
Shen Changchuan is still quite a distance from being invincible.

Let alone those supreme grandmasters who stand at the pinnacle of the entire martial arts world,
Even ordinary grandmasters would be a considerable trouble for him.

Although Shen Changchuan had never met a Grandmaster, he could roughly deduce the strength of that level from various rumors and the records of the Grandmaster's realm in cultivation manuals.

For example, Guo Jianglong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Shen Changchuan roughly determined that he was no match for Guo Jianglong in his current state.

I am currently unable to contend with the opponent's strength and methods.

of course,

Although they are no match for each other in a direct confrontation.
But since Shen Changchuan dared to travel leisurely after killing Lu Changhe and after Guo Jianglong made a harsh threat to take revenge, without concealing his whereabouts or avoiding others, he must have something to rely on.

He couldn't beat Guo Jianglong.
But don't think Guo Jianglong could kill him so easily!
Perhaps the strongest beings in this world at the Grandmaster level have absolute suppressive power over those at the Innate Grandmaster level.

It is said that a Grandmaster-level expert's Yin and Yang spirits merge and merge into the void of heaven and earth, and every move they make exudes unparalleled oppressive power!

Even for a master at the Innate Grandmaster level who has already opened the two bridges between heaven and earth, possessing inexhaustible true energy and capable of fighting for three days and three nights without exhaustion...

Even those at the Grandmaster level would be overwhelmed by the powerful will of the other party, barely daring to move, thus quickly losing the battle, or even being easily killed by the former!

But obviously,
Shen Changchuan is different from the martial arts masters of this world!
Hailing from a world of cultivation, his true form is at the Divine Travel Realm.
In the world of cultivation, as early as the Nascent Soul Realm, cultivators at this level are already able to integrate their divine soul and will into their spell attacks, thereby greatly enhancing the power of their attacks!

Shen Changchuan has accumulated a wealth of experience fighting enemies of this caliber throughout his journey!

It is precisely because of this,
According to rumors, the supreme powerhouse at the Grandmaster level can integrate their own will into their attack methods.
Shen Changchuan has extremely rich experience in dealing with such situations!
This,

It was precisely because Shen Changchuan believed he was probably no match for Guo Jianglong that...
But at the same time, he was confident that the other party wouldn't be able to defeat him so easily!
not to mention,
"Although I have not yet found those last eight acupoints to break through to the realm of the Innate Grandmaster."

"But with my accumulation in the main world, and the foundation I've built by learning the local Qigong and martial arts after coming to this world, I'm afraid even those at the Innate Grandmaster level might not be able to match my foundation!"

Shen Changchuan's eyes gleamed with confidence.

Although he has not yet advanced to the Innate Grandmaster realm, and cannot resonate his internal energy with the primordial energy of heaven and earth to the point where his energy consumption during battle is almost inexhaustible,

However, Shen Changchuan, relying on his own foundation, the power system he created, his absolute control over true qi, and the methods he gleaned from Zhang Daoren's handwritten notes,

His ability to utilize even a fraction of his own strength is almost equivalent to the combined strength of ten times that of others!

Moreover, the internal energy circulates within the body, and every burst of power is mobilized almost without loss, making it not much different from a true innate master!

Compared to the crude control of their own power by the martial arts masters in this world, Shen Changchuan's advantages are far greater than that!
It is precisely because of these many advantages that
Shen Changchuan was confident that even if Guo Jianglong came knocking on his door, it wouldn't be a big problem.

At least surviving and escaping shouldn't be a problem.

even,
Shen Changchuan was actually quite eager to try.

If I could have a match with Guo Jianglong, one of the most powerful martial arts masters in the world today, it might be very beneficial!
If you can win by one or two moves

That undoubtedly means that I am close to completing this martial arts world!
"Alright, let's see how things go first!"

Shen Changchuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he withdrew many thoughts from his mind.

Then let's wait and see.
Let's wait and see if Guo Jianglong will really come to settle the score.

Then you can see just how big the gap is between yourself and the combat power standing at the top of this world!
If the difference is not significant

Then you can be more aggressive and unrestrained in your plans!

A deep glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes.

In this world, what's the point of becoming an apprentice or seeking out extraordinary encounters with predecessors?
None of these things are as fast as directly seizing those forces that have existed for hundreds or thousands of years and have produced those who have broken through and ascended to immortality!

And he, Shen Changchuan,
He has never been a rigid, law-abiding person!

If he can achieve his goal quickly, he doesn't mind using some unconventional methods.

"Mr. Shen, this is the eleventh test. Don't you really need to take another route and conceal your tracks?"

Just as Shen Changchuan casually knocked the little blue sparrow down and was pondering his next move,
front,

Liu Ruyin, who had been leading the donkey for him, hesitated for a moment before finally asking,
At this moment, even her pretty face, with its delicate features, couldn't help but show a hint of worry.

Several days ago, after beheading Lu Changhe in Sanjiang City,

To prevent Liu Ruyin from suffering another undeserved calamity at the hands of the Beggars' Sect, Shen Changchuan quietly left and simply took her with him.

In order to repay Shen Changchuan for his help,
Also, in order to get up close and personal with this extraordinary genius who has appeared out of nowhere,

Liu Ruyin led the way, guiding Shen Changchuan with his donkey.

Within a few days,

She thus witnessed Shen Changchuan effortlessly slaughtering all the others who came to investigate.

They witnessed the unfathomable strength displayed by Shen Changchuan!
For this,

Having roamed the martial world for several years, Liu Ruyin, unlike some of the more delicate young women, did not feel that Shen Changchuan had gone too far in killing, and thus did not harbor any thoughts of reprimand.

Only young ladies from wealthy families who are inexperienced in the ways of the world would harbor some illusions about the enemy.

Liu Ruyin is not that kind of person. On the contrary,

She was actually quite worried about Shen Changchuan's current situation.

The number one gang in the world
The pressure from its leader, Guo Jianglong, was especially immense!
The other party only made a few public statements, without even making any promises.
Some people, eager to curry favor with him, brought their own provisions and risked their lives to keep a close watch on Shen Changchuan!
This is the imposing presence of the most powerful figures in the martial arts world!
Liu Ruyin was not Guo Jianglong's primary target.
But these past few days, just being by Shen Changchuan's side, she has felt an overwhelming pressure!

This almost suffocated her!

She also found it hard to imagine how Shen Changchuan could maintain such a calm mindset under such immense pressure!
Perhaps this is the reason why Mr. Shen is so powerful?
Perhaps it is precisely because of that strong mentality that...
Only then can one's martial arts skills improve rapidly and reach an incredible level in a short period of time!
These past few days together,

This undoubtedly made Liu Ruyin feel even more awe towards Shen Changchuan!
Although I admire Shen Changchuan's composure in the face of both honor and disgrace, and his ability to remain unfazed even in the face of a collapsing mountain, I can't help but worry.

No matter how,

That Guo Jianglong is one of the top-ranking and most powerful among the seven great masters in the world today!
What if the enemy attacks in person to avenge Lu Changhe?!
Admittedly,

Mr. Shen is very mysterious, and his methods are unfathomable.

But he's still only a teenager!
Guo Jianglong, on the other hand, was already a renowned master decades ago!

The difference in their skill levels is too great!

Guo Jianglong, Chief Guo,

He is not Lu Changhe.
That person is the closest to the pinnacle of the world!

In her opinion,

What Shen Changchuan should do is quickly conceal his whereabouts, hide away, and cultivate his divine skills for ten years before emerging from the mountains.

Only then will we have the confidence to fight against those top figures.

Such fierce fighting is truly unwise!

But along the way,
Liu Ruyin was well aware of her own identity, so she never revealed it.

But until this moment,
She couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted out what was on her mind.

"no need to worry."

Shen Changchuan didn't seem to care much about Liu Ruyin's concerns.

"I'm very curious about the level of strength of the person who is closest to becoming a Grandmaster in the world today!"

"If that Chief Guo could take the initiative to make a move, that would be even better."

"It also saves me the risk of losing my advantageous location by making a trip to their Beggars' Sect headquarters."

“Those old strongholds that have been operating for decades or even centuries are not places that you can just come and go as you please.”

"If they take the initiative, that would be even better."

Shen Changchuan said leisurely, not taking it to heart.

This was indeed one of his ideas.

With his current strength, in order to avoid this clone being trapped here and unable to return, he does not plan to attack the Beggars' Sect headquarters or other strongholds that have been established for decades or even centuries.

After all, once you fall into someone's trap, there's probably no way to escape or avoid it!
But if they come to intercept and kill me, then the situation will be different!

At least in the wild, if you can't win a fight, you can still run away!

This is why,
Shen Changchuan learned that Guo Jianglong had threatened to deal with him, and that people around him had been spying on his movements for some time, yet he still hadn't managed to hide his tracks!
If Guo Jianglong really comes to deal with me and avenge Lu Changhe,

Then I can take this opportunity to see the gap between my strength and that of the top figures in this martial arts world!
of course,

Shen Changchuan didn't need to go into the details with the other party.

"Mr. Shen, could it be that..."

It was clear from Shen Changchuan's words that he intended to challenge the legendary leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Liu Ruyin was also somewhat dumbfounded.

She couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

This Mr. Shen actually dares to contend with such a supreme expert?!

To know,
Guo Jianglong is no ordinary person.

She was a famous figure since birth!

Her father, Liu Zhenshan, was considered a top expert in the martial arts world.
But even his father,
Even those beings of that level would have to bow and pay their respects!

They are truly important figures in the martial arts world!

One person's anger,
It could even change the course of a nation!

How dare Shen Changchuan muster the will to fight such a powerful figure?!
Liu Ruyin swallowed hard.
For a while,
They were all awestruck by the fighting spirit and heroic demeanor displayed by Shen Changchuan!

Why make that expression?

"No one is born strong, and no one will always be high above in the sky."

"Guo Jianglong is a remarkable figure, but I, Shen Changchuan, am not necessarily inferior to him!"

Seeing Liu Ruyin's somewhat dumbfounded expression, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

Different perspectives lead to different aspirations.

However, Shen Changchuan wouldn't laugh at the other party for that.

"It's just a pity that there are a total of 108 acupoints in the human body. I have only found 100 so far. I still need 8 more to reach perfection and be able to advance to the Innate Grandmaster realm in the most perfect form."

"Otherwise, if I were to become a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, I might not be unable to fight against even a Grandmaster-level expert!"

As he spoke, Shen Changchuan sighed with emotion.

If he were already at the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, then he might not necessarily lose to Guo Jianglong!
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

With his top-tier cultivation, he could only manage to hold his own against the opponent and barely catch a glimpse of the world's pinnacle power.

What Shen Changchuan didn't notice was...
As he spoke,

Liu Ruyin's eyes brightened slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke:

"One hundred and eight acupoints, Mr. Shen. Perhaps my Liuhe School has a related lineage."
