Chapter Summary: “Arrival”

• Shen Changchuan evaluates his chances against Zuo Jiuyin by comparing Zuo’s strength with that of Senior Brother Hou Ping, a Third Layer Peak Spirit Wandering realm cultivator.
• Shen recalls that Hou Ping had previously been able to contend with exceptional Immortal Sect geniuses such as Situ Yuan. Because their earlier sparring match was not a life-or-death battle, Shen believes Hou Ping had not revealed his full power.
• He concludes that Immortal Sect cultivators are vastly stronger than ordinary outside cultivators of the same realm because of their superior techniques, resources, and mastery of True Intent.
• Shen reasons that Zuo Jiuyin’s ability to repel the Shen Family Old Ancestor and the Ancient Sword Sect’s Supreme Old Ancestor does not necessarily place him above Hou Ping. Since Shen has now raised his Years True Intent comprehension to 6.1% and improved his other abilities, he believes he can confront Zuo Jiuyin and survive the coming crisis.
