Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Within that month,

the most sensational news in the Immortal Cultivation Realm was undoubtedly the founding of the Dragon Cloud Sect.

Although during this time,

Shen Changchuan’s feat of slaying a Soul Emergence Realm Demon Cultivator from a lower realm was also quite eye-catching,

for many Cultivators, it was ultimately someone else’s business and had nothing to do with them.

Even if Shen Changchuan killed eight or ten more Soul Emergence Realm Cultivators, it still wouldn’t affect them in the slightest.

As time went on, the buzz in the Immortal Cultivation Realm was bound to fade.

In contrast,

Master Wandering Dragon founding the Dragon Cloud Sect was an event that could affect the entire political landscape of the Tian Nan Domain’s Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it was deeply intertwined with the personal interests of many Cultivators!

The surrounding Cultivators couldn’t help but pay close attention.

After all,

that Master Wandering Dragon was one of the Seven Immortal Sect Sons from the Southern Great Domain’s hegemon, the Yuqing Immortal Sect—one of the most promising to reach the Profound Pill Realm!

The so-called Southern Great Domain

was a collection of the Thirty-Six Small Domains.

The Tian Nan Domain was one of these thirty-six Small Domains.

Within each Small Domain,

the number of Cultivation Cities of various sizes differed.

The Tian Nan Domain had a total of twenty-eight Immortal Cultivation Cities, and Tian Nan City was one of them.

From this, one could see

just how high Master Wandering Dragon’s status was as one of the Seven Immortal Sect Sons of the Yuqing Immortal Sect.

Even for the Shen Family Ancestor, he was an absolute top-tier personage!

Why would such a major figure leave the Yuqing Immortal Sect Mountain Gate

and come to this godforsaken patch of the Border Desolate Forest to establish a subordinate Sect?

Was it because of a power struggle among the Yuqing Immortal Sect’s upper echelons, resulting in him being "exiled" to this remote place?

Or had his Cultivation reached a bottleneck, requiring him to come here for a secluded breakthrough?

The answer to these questions, no matter which it was,

would be enough to cause earth-shattering changes in the Tian Nan Domain!

But as for the specific details,

aside from the person involved,

no outsider could possibly know.

This also made all the nearby powers, such as the Shen Family of Tian Nan City, the Nangong Clan of Luoshui City, the Ancient Sword Sect of Yangshan City, and even the Nanyue Kingdom, extremely tense.

They wished they could put his every move under a magnifying glass, hoping to catch some clues.

And so,

since the turmoil at the Wu Family Collection,

the number of Cultivators gathering in the Border Desolate Forest had not decreased, but had instead grown larger and larger.

Of course,

these arriving Cultivators couldn’t all be spies sent by the various powers.

Many more Cultivators were here for a more fundamental reason: the newly established Dragon Cloud Sect was recruiting Disciples on a massive scale,

and they wanted to seize this opportunity to join.

Even disciples from major cultivation powers were no exception.

After all,

Master Wandering Dragon came from the Yuqing Immortal Sect, so his legacy and teachings were bound to be exceptional.

Furthermore,

according to the management policies for the Yuqing Immortal Sect’s subordinate powers,

if one could distinguish themselves within a subordinate power, they could use it as a springboard to enter the Yuqing Immortal Sect itself!

And so,

the situation grew more and more intense.

...

’It’s changed so much...’

Over ten li from the original location of the Wu Family Collection,

Shen Changchuan, his face hidden by the brim of his hat, looked up. He gazed at the majestic mountain that had appeared out of nowhere before him—soaring into the heavens, wreathed in clouds and mist.

His mouth fell slightly agape, his eyes filled with shock.

That’s right.

The towering, cloud-piercing mountain cliffs before him now stood where the Wu Family Collection had once been!

If he hadn’t braved the dangers to come to the Wu Family Collection two or three months ago and personally seen the massive crater, several li in circumference, that had swallowed the entire place,

he would have thought

that this scene before him was how the Wu Family Collection had always looked!

’I heard that half a month ago, that Master Wandering Dragon used some unimaginable Great Divine Technique to capture the earth-veins, move mountains, and channel the earth’s energy... relying on supreme methods to create such a spectacular Mountain Gate from what was once empty ground!’

’Before, I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but now it seems I was the ignorant one!’

’But... are those in the Divine Travel Realm truly this terrifying?!’

At this moment, gazing at the magnificent peaks that were faintly visible amidst the thick, ethereal clouds,

at the majestic range that resembled an Immortal Mountain on earth,

Shen Changchuan couldn’t help but reveal a trace of disbelief!

’This is just too exaggerated!’

Not long ago, Xu Ziming, whose Cultivation was around the Soul Emergence Realm Early Stage and whom Shen Changchuan had killed despite being in a lower realm, could only create a long gash of one or two hundred meters in the ground with a full-power strike.

Faced with a mountain, such power was truly nothing.

But upon reaching the Divine Travel Realm,

did one gain the mighty power to move mountains and seize earth-veins?!

’No,’

’it can’t be that ridiculous!’

His Heart Spirit calmed, and after a moment of thought, Shen Changchuan shook his head.

’The gap between major Realms is indeed vast,’

’but it can’t possibly be this immense!’

’At the very least,’

’he had never heard of the Ancestor possessing the ability to move mountains.’

’This majestic, cloud-wreathed mountain was likely created by Master Wandering Dragon using some specific means,’

’be it powerful Divine Techniques, a Magical Artifact and Spiritual Artifact, or even an Array.’

’His own personal strength probably hasn’t reached such an absurd level yet.’

’But no matter what method he used, this scene is truly stunning. It showcases his resources to everyone...’

’With such power and resources, and with such deep ties to the Yuqing Immortal Sect... if I could join the Dragon Cloud Sect, perhaps it would be of great benefit to me...’

The thought flashed through Shen Changchuan’s mind.

The faint trace of resistance he had felt because of the Shen Family Ancestor’s ’order’ completely vanished.

At this moment,

Shen Changchuan also understood why that person had expended so much effort to create this majestic Mountain Gate.

It was most likely a public display of the newborn Dragon Cloud Sect’s resources and strength.

Undeniably, it had succeeded.

At least along the way,

Shen Changchuan had seen many Cultivators rushing over, their faces filled with utter shock upon seeing this sight.

They were clearly stunned by such methods!

At the very least,

the major powers in the large cities of the Tian Nan Domain, even those with Divine Travel Realm experts, did not possess such means!

Based on this heaven-and-earth-altering ability alone,

countless people would want to join the new Dragon Cloud Sect.

"Little Brother Changchuan, you’re finally here!"

Just as Shen Changchuan arrived at the foot of the majestic mountain,

gazing at the invisible barrier formed by the shroud of clouds before him,

and was wondering how to enter, a somewhat familiar voice called out.

Shen Changchuan looked up.

He saw the figure of Wu Tianhao emerge from the mountain path behind the mist as if passing through a curtain of water, walking toward him with a hearty laugh.

"Elder Wu, my sincerest apologies. Something came up and I was delayed. Please forgive me for being two days late!"

Shen Changchuan said apologetically, offering a cupped-fist salute.
