Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 283: Chapter 280: Promotion

Master Wandering Dragon froze for a moment.

The fishing rod in his hand trembled.

He turned around.

He turned to look at Shen Changchuan, his eyes scanning him from head to toe. Despite his high Cultivation and mental fortitude, an expression of utter disbelief couldn’t help but cross his face.

”You did it?”

”Yes, Master.”

”Wait, give me a moment to process this... Show me. Demonstrate it.”

Master Wandering Dragon said hesitantly, stroking his beard.

’He still couldn’t quite believe it.’

Even he hadn’t managed to cultivate a Divine Technique to Perfection before advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm.

’How did this kid manage it?’

Master Wandering Dragon didn’t consider himself some peerless, history-defying prodigy. He wasn’t the type to believe that something was impossible for others just because he couldn’t do it himself.

In fact,

among the Cultivators of his own generation,

there had been one who condensed a Divine Seed while advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm, earning his wholehearted admiration.

But the problem was,

time!

That peer who had successfully condensed a Divine Seed while advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm had spent a full seven years at the Qi Introduction Realm Peak!

Moreover, throughout his time in the Qi Introduction Realm, he had been constantly laying the groundwork to cultivate that Divine Technique, practicing a Cultivation Technique specifically aligned with its nature!

Only then was he able to successfully cultivate that Divine Power Technique to Perfection and condense a Divine Seed during his advancement to the Soul Emergence Realm!

If Shen Changchuan had come to him ten years from now, saying he’d cultivated the Divine Technique to Perfection,

Master Wandering Dragon would have been surprised,

but not to the point of outright disbelief and questioning.

But now,

’How much time has even passed?’

’It hasn’t even been three years since I told him about the existence of Divine Seeds!’

’The first batch of Disciples I accepted are still a few months away from finishing their three-year apprenticeship and officially entering the Outer Sect!’

’And in that short time,’

’he’s already cultivated a new Divine Technique to Perfection?!’

It wasn’t that Master Wandering Dragon suspected Shen Changchuan of lying.

It was simply that this was far too incredible to believe!

Shen Changchuan wasted no words.

He took a few steps back,

moving into the clearing behind him, where he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

A profound and mysterious sensation filled his mind.

With a single thought,

the world within a few dozen feet seemed to fall under his control!

Sanqing Forest Sword Array!

SHIING!

A clear sword-cry echoed between heaven and earth.

Following his intuition, Shen Changchuan mobilized the power of the Mental Realm hidden in the unseen.

The winds and clouds in the surrounding world howled and converged.

Blades of light, as brilliant as a river of stars, materialized from the void,

occupying the three cardinal positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Their power felt like a unified whole, yet also three distinct entities. The Sword Momentum, a phantom-like blend of the real and illusory, sealed the very space around them.

In an instant,

a wave of terrifying power, so potent it made the very air seem to tremble in fear, swept outward.

It felt as if a world-destroying force was about to erupt at any moment!

”Alright... put it away... Don’t scare my fish...”

Master Wandering Dragon fell silent for a moment,

unsure of what to say, and spoke casually.

Of course, the power displayed by this Divine Technique was nothing in the face of Master Wandering Dragon.

But at this moment,

a hint of bewilderment and self-doubt still crept into his eyes.

’That power... it’s a Divine Technique, no doubt.’

’Moreover,’

’that ”intent” lingering in the void,’

’was indeed the sign of having cultivated it to Perfection.’

’When he advances to the Soul Emergence Realm, condensing a Divine Seed should be no problem.’

’But...’

’...why?’

’Three years? To cultivate a Divine Technique to success from scratch in just three years?’

’That’s impossible!’

Back in his day, he had tried to cultivate a Divine Technique. He too had dreamed of condensing a Divine Seed upon advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm.

But after struggling for a few years,

he had ultimately given up.

Because it was a fundamentally impossible task.

Even among his peers,

the one who was widely acknowledged as having the highest talent and Comprehension took a full seven years to succeed!

’And this kid in front of me did it in just three?!’

’How is that possible?’

For a moment,

a wave of confusion washed over Master Wandering Dragon.

However,

he was a master of the Divine Travel Realm, after all.

Taking a deep breath, he quickly composed his thoughts.

”Good. Very good!”

Master Wandering Dragon’s gaze swept over Shen Changchuan again, his voice filled with a complex mix of emotions.

’I never would have thought,’

’that the disciple I so casually accepted...’

’would turn out to be a genius at cultivating Magic Techniques and Divine Techniques?’

Master Wandering Dragon mused, a wave of emotion washing over him.

’Perhaps,’

’he has the potential to go even further in the future...’

”So, are you planning to advance now?”

”Yes, Master!”

”I have come today, Master, precisely to ask for your guidance. I wish to know what I should be aware of when condensing my Spirit Body and the Divine Seed during the advancement process.”

Shen Changchuan replied respectfully.

The reason he came before Master Wandering Dragon was not to show off or anything of the sort.

Instead, he was considering the necessary tips, key points, and detailed experiential accounts of the advancement process, which were not recorded in great detail in the Sect’s Scripture Pavilion.

He believed Master Wandering Dragon, a master of the Divine Travel Realm, could offer some assistance.

”I didn’t expect you to reach this stage so quickly...”

”Very well, sit down. I’ll take this opportunity to explain a few things to you.”

Master Wandering Dragon nodded.

Composing himself, he waved a hand, and a White Jade Meditation Mat appeared. He gestured for Shen Changchuan to sit.

After a moment of thought, he began to explain, one by one, all the key points of advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm.

Although the lecture was somewhat impromptu,

as a master of the Divine Travel Realm, Master Wandering Dragon’s memory was naturally excellent,

and the many key points and techniques he had once taught his other Disciples came to him slowly as he spoke.

He covered everything in meticulous detail, including the specific sensations during the advancement and the transformation process of one’s Magical Power and Divine Sense.

It was as if

he were breaking everything down into its simplest components and laying it all bare for Shen Changchuan to see.

Shen Changchuan gained immense insight from this.

Previously,

through the experiences of his predecessors and summaries from the various Handwriting in the Scripture Pavilion,

he had only a rough understanding of the process of advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm.

But after Master Wandering Dragon’s tutelage,

he could now see the path ahead in great detail. As long as he followed the steps, advancement would likely pose no problem at all!

’The Yuqing Immortal Sect is truly worthy of its name. No wonder only those in the Soul Emergence Realm are considered true disciples. With such a detailed guide to advancement, as long as one’s foundation is solid and with the help of a Soul Emergence Pill, breaking through shouldn’t be a major issue...’

Master Wandering Dragon’s lecture on the Dao lasted for seven days.

In those seven days,

he completely digested his master’s teachings and was now filled with confidence for the path ahead.

As for advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm,

he was basically certain of success.

Of course,

Shen Changchuan was still not entirely confident about two steps in the process: condensing his Spirit Body and condensing the Divine Seed.

After all, from his master’s description, these two steps were by no means easy.

But Shen Changchuan knew,

that he had progressed as far as he could for now. There was no point in pondering it any longer.

It was time to advance!
