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

Chapter 927 Trouble, but the Map is Obtained (Two chapters combined)

Liu Zhenshan composed himself, sighed inwardly, and spoke to Shen Changchuan.

Regarding Shen Changchuan's request,

He didn't refuse.

Or,

He had no right to refuse.

As for Lu Changhe, the nine-bag elder of the Beggars' Sect, who possessed the ability to kill senior innate grandmasters,
Shen Changchuan's strength is that of a legendary master whom the entire Six Harmonies Sect can only look up to!

That was a terrifying power that even the combined strength of their entire sect could not withstand!
Admittedly,

Throughout, Shen Changchuan appeared to be very easy to talk to.

It seems that it wouldn't matter if I refused.

But who can be sure that this person is consistent in word and deed?
If you refuse the other person's request,
What if the other party doesn't go all out?

They directly attacked and slaughtered your entire sect, but in the end, they were still able to scavenge things from the ruins.

Shen Changchuan truly possesses the ability to annihilate the entire Six Harmonies Sect!

We and others

I simply can't refuse them!

Rather than leading to the worst possibility,
It would be better to say nice things from the start; you might even gain someone's favor.

As a result,
It was only natural that Liu Zhenshan agreed to let Shen Changchuan borrow the diagram passed down by the Liuhe School.

"This way, young friend."

"These matters concerning the core inheritance of the sect are all kept in the sect's secret inheritance cave."

"Please, young friend, move aside."

The agreement has been reached.

Liu Zhenshan then took the initiative to lead Shen Changchuan to the secret cave of the Six Harmonies Sect's inheritance.

They didn't even ask Shen Changchuan for any reward.

It's the same principle.

Although the other party says they owe you a favor,
But what if they just don't repay the favor?

Although their small Liuhe Sect had some reputation in the martial arts world...
However, in the face of the power of a Grandmaster-level Innate Realm expert, they simply have no ability to protect their own interests!
If the other party has a conscience,
If, after the deed is done, they remember our efforts and we are rewarded in some way, that would be the best outcome.

If not,

We should just pretend nothing happened to avoid bothering others.

Moreover, you might even be able to use the other party's name to resolve some troubles.

Also because of this,

Keeping quiet is the best option.

This seems somewhat frustrating.

But no way,

This is how small people, or rather, small forces, survive!
The martial arts world is essentially a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Some newcomers to the martial arts world, even when facing powerful figures, still stand tall and proud. This shows great integrity, and those who see it will involuntarily give them a thumbs up.

But actually, this is meaningless.

To stand firm in the face of a powerhouse against whom one is utterly powerless.
The outcome will only be very realistic.
That means he'll be lying dead in the wilderness in the next moment!

When a person dies, there is nothing.

In this world, no one remembers a dead person, and no one cares whether the skeletons on the roadside had any backbone in life.

this is the truth.

The only way for a person to survive is...

Survive to the end
Only then are you qualified to talk about other things.

"Alas, Ruyin was reckless."

"This person seems easy to talk to, but who can know what his true nature is?"

"I just hope the other party will follow the rules and actually give something in return for what they've taken!"

A sigh couldn't help but flash through Liu Zhenshan's heart.

However, although he thought so in his heart

But he didn't show it at all on his face.

Along the way, he showed great respect to Shen Changchuan, lowering his posture considerably, just like a servant leading the way home for his master!
And within the Six Harmonies Sect's secret cave lies many of the sect's core martial arts...
He never asked anyone to remove it beforehand.

He acted as if he was letting Shen Changchuan look at him without permission!
This humble attitude from the other side stirred something within Shen Changchuan.

Regardless of whether the other party has weak knees or not,
Being treated this way feels quite nice.

at least,

The other party did not stick to their guns to the end.

This allows one to achieve their goals without having to use any mental effort or other underhanded tactics.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

Shen Changchuan's pupils flickered with a fleeting thought.

Liu Zhenshan was right.
If the Six Harmonies Sect remains stubborn and refuses to show him the blueprint, citing the principle that the inheritance must not be leaked,
Shen Changchuan doesn't mind using some methods!

This is normal,

The location of the 108 acupoints in the human body is related to whether he can break through and ascend to immortality in the future, and whether he can bring the Dao fruit of this world back to the main world!

This matter concerns his spiritual path.
If the Six Harmonies Sect refuses to hand over that blueprint, Shen Changchuan will absolutely not hesitate to use some killing methods to force them to hand it over voluntarily!
no way,
Shen Changchuan's moral bottom line is that flexible.

In normal times,
He is willing to uphold his chivalrous morality, maintain the bottom line of repaying kindness and not offending others unless they offend him.

However, the premise for him to adhere to these principles is that he has not violated his own core interests!

He is willing to do this as long as it does not affect his own interests.

But if someone thinks,
No matter what happens, he will always stick to his bottom line and his chivalrous moral values. That would be a big mistake!

Fortunately,

Liu Zhenshan is quite sensible.

It saved him a lot of trouble.

"In that case, I feel embarrassed to just take the things and leave."

Shen Changchuan pondered to himself.

at the same time,

He recalled what Liu Ruyin had told him about the troubles facing the Six Harmonies Sect.

"The main trouble for the Six Harmonies Sect stemmed from the rise of the Sun and Moon Demonic Sect in the Western Regions sixty years ago, which attempted to invade the Central Plains martial arts world. The five first-class sects located in Guanzhong—Chongyang, Cangwu, Yuquan, Six Harmonies, and Luoxia—beared the brunt of the attack."

"In order to deal with the Sun and Moon Demonic Sect, which had unified the Western Regions and swept everything with overwhelming force, the five major sects had no choice but to unite and form an alliance to jointly confront the invasion of the Sun and Moon Demonic Sect."

"After sixty years of fighting and killing, the five major sects have each gained and lost. Among them, the Chongyang Sect has benefited greatly from the fighting with the Sun and Moon Demon Sect. Three innate grandmasters have emerged in the sect in succession."

"On the contrary, the other four major sects suffered heavy losses. The Six Harmonies Sect has even lost its innate lineage and has not produced an innate grandmaster for thirty years. The other three major sects are also left with only two old innate masters who are barely holding on."

"The current leader of the Chongyang Sect, Peng Zhiguang, is a man of great talent and ambition. As early as ten years ago, he proposed the idea of ​​merging the five sects into one at the Five Sects Alliance, intending to unify the five major sects!"

"Although the idea of ​​merging the five factions was shelved due to strong opposition from the other four major factions, Peng Zhiguang, the leader of the Chongyang faction, has never given up his idea over the years and has been secretly promoting it."

"Now, ten years have passed. The other four major sects have suffered losses in their battles against the Sun Moon Demon Sect. Some sects have also completed the generational transition, with the older generation retiring and the new generation taking power. Of the four major sects that once clearly opposed the merger, two are now ambiguous, one is neutral and wavering, and only the Six Harmonies Sect remains clearly opposed."

"Father suspects that the successive misfortunes of the older generation of the Cangwu and Yuquan sects are very likely orchestrated by Peng Zhiguang. At the current Five Sects Alliance, the pressure on Father is increasing, and he is finding it increasingly difficult to stand alone." "In fact, there are already some divisions within the Liuhe Sect. Some elders from other clans feel that merging sects is not a bad thing. At least it's good to have a big tree to shelter under. With the Chongyang Sect's three Xiantian masters protecting them, they will be much safer in the future battles against the Sun and Moon Demon Sect."

"My father once said that if Peng Zhiguang were to attack me, once I died, the last resistance of the Liuhe Sect would probably vanish, and then it would be time for them to smoothly merge with other factions."

Liu Ruyin's words on the way here flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

to be frank,
When I first heard Liu Ruyin's story, if I hadn't confirmed that the sect she belonged to was the Liuhe Sect and not the Huashan Sect, I would have been completely taken aback.

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but wonder if he had transmigrated into the world of a martial arts novel from his previous life!

The inside story is almost identical to that of Zuo Lengchan's merger of the Five Mountains factions.

They both had to fight against the evil cult.
The same scenario involves a sect rising to power, developing ambitions, and wanting to merge with another sect.

but,

They're just roughly in the same direction.

The specific circumstances vary greatly.

For example,
There wasn't a single senior disciple in the Six Harmonies Sect who associated with scoundrels or was irresponsible.

The daughter of the sect leader Liu Zhenshan, Liu Ruyin, is not a naive and innocent girl like Yue Lingshan.

The situation is quite different from the plot in that martial arts novel.

The reason they look somewhat similar is

In essence, it's because there's nothing new under the sun.

This is roughly how the power struggle unfolds.

of course,

Shen Changchuan wasn't particularly interested in sorting out all the grudges and grievances involved.

to him,

The key is how to help Liu Zhenshan solve his problems.

After all, the other party was so cooperative, practically giving them whatever they wanted without any bargaining.

If you take something and do nothing, you'll more or less feel guilty.

"The solution is actually not difficult."

"If you can't solve the problem, then just deal with the person who caused it."

"If that picture is real, then I should also advance to the Innate Grandmaster level. Then I can go directly to Chongyang Mountain and deal with that Peng Zhiguang and the two Innate Grandmasters from his sect."

"Without a pre-existing master to oversee things, what's the point of talking about merging factions?"

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

He had no interest in offering advice or strategies to Liu Zhenshan on how to counter the pressure from the Chongyang faction.

no need.

Sometimes, violence is the simplest and most direct way to solve problems.

Just like now,

As long as we kill Peng Zhiguang, the leader of the Chongyang Sect, and his two innate masters,
Then the pathological crisis would naturally cease to exist.

"No, it doesn't seem to work yet."

Suddenly,
Shen Changchuan's expression froze for a moment, as he thought of something else.

"The Five Factions Alliance was established to confront the pressure from the Sun Moon Demon Sect."

"After years of fighting, the Western Regions Sun Moon Demon Sect has suffered considerable losses, but it has not been crippled."

"If I were to casually kill all three Innate Realm experts of the Five Sects Alliance, would the Five Sects Alliance still have the strength to resist the invasion of the Sun Moon Demon Sect?"

"We can't be too simplistic and crude!"

If, because of his own actions, he were to kill the three innate masters of the Chongyang Sect, allowing the Sun and Moon Demonic Sect to advance unimpeded and ultimately leading to the annihilation of the Six Harmonies Sect.
That would be numb!
Looking at Liu Zhenshan respectfully leading the way, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately, I came to my senses in time.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be "repaying kindness with enmity" and end up ruining the other party!

Liuzhen Mountain, walking ahead,

Unaware at all

He and his sect almost walked on the brink of death.

"Young friend, this is the inheritance chart left by my Liu family ancestors."

Just as Shen Changchuan was pondering,

Liu Zhenshan had already ventured deep into the secret cave of inheritance. He took out a sandalwood-colored wooden box from a completely hidden compartment in the wall and handed it to Shen Changchuan.

"Young friend, you are welcome to browse here."

"These bookshelves around us also contain notes and manuscripts from my ancestors of the Liuhe School regarding their research on this diagram."

"Young friend, you may take this as a reference."

After Liu Zhenshan finished speaking,
Then he took his leave.

Shen Changchuan glanced at the bookshelves filled with books around him, then watched the other person's departing figure, a sense of emotion rising in his heart.

"Sect Leader Liu is a kind and honest man!"

"It seems we'll have to put in a lot more effort for it from now on."

Holding the box, Shen Changchuan didn't rush to open it, but instead thought to himself.

Regarding how to resolve the troubles of the Six Harmonies faction,

He already had a general plan.

in fact,

Ultimately, all the troubles stem from the inadequacy of the person involved.

If Liu Zhenshan were a Grandmaster or even a Great Grandmaster, why would the Six Harmonies Sect be forced into this situation?

Therefore, the solution to the problem is quite simple.
It's simply a two-pronged approach.

On one hand, they dealt with Peng Zhiguang, the ambitious member of the Chongyang faction.
On the one hand, it enhances the strength of the Six Harmonies faction.

just,

Neither of these two points were a problem for him.

With Shen Changchuan's keen eyesight, he could tell almost immediately.
Liu Zhenshan is only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!
The reason why it is impossible to break through is that the Qigong inheritance of the Liuhe School is not profound, and it is quite difficult to break through to the Innate Grandmaster level by relying on the Qigong inheritance of the Liuhe School.

Both of these are probably due to Liu Zhenshan's personal reasons.

Perhaps due to the immense pressure and inner demons, he found it difficult to take that final step, causing him to remain at the top of the first-class level for many years.

And these problems,
For Shen Changchuan, none of these were major problems.

With the immense resources provided by his Divine Travel Realm level in the main world and the progress bar panel, coupled with the insights he gained from browsing Zhang Daoren's handwritten notes not long ago,

If he were to intervene and forcibly elevate Liu Zhenshan's cultivation level, allowing him to break through to the Innate Grandmaster realm, it wouldn't be impossible.

"Let's talk about this later."

Shen Changchuan shook his head slightly.
Put aside all the thoughts in your mind.

Now,

Let's first check if this diagram of the 108 acupoints in the human body is real before we talk about it.

Once I advance to the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm,
Then the subsequent operations will be much easier.

In the blink of an eye,

Shen Changchuan opened the box.
Take out a yellowish-brown scroll from inside and slowly unroll it.
