The end

At that moment,

The Shen Family Ancestor's heart was filled with bitterness.

Zhou Lingfeng had once defeated him,

Yet Shen Changchuan had slain Zhou Lingfeng despite being a realm below him.

Then, plainly,

This junior of the Shen Clan before him had already gained strength surpassing his own after a mere thirty or forty years on the path of cultivation!

Such a heaven-defying prodigy—

If he had not abandoned him over a single mistaken decision back then, but had instead taken him under his wing and painstakingly taught and nurtured him,

What would things have been like now?

Even if his achievements fell short of what they were now,

He would surely have been able to keep the Shen Clan safe for several hundred more years!

Yes,

Several hundred years!

The Shen Family Ancestor was utterly certain that Shen Changchuan would cross the threshold into the Spirit Wandering Realm in the future!

He could slay a Spirit Wandering Realm cultivator while still in the Out-of-Body Realm,

And Shen Changchuan's cultivation now seemed to be at the peak of the early stage of the ninth level of the Out-of-Body Realm, still far from the limits of the Out of Body Realm.

With such abilities and such strength, how could other Out of Body Realm cultivators possibly compare?

Perhaps for others, securing an opportunity to advance to the Spirit Wandering Realm would involve a thousand hardships and ten thousand difficulties.

But for Shen Changchuan, who possessed the strength to slay Spirit Wandering Realm cultivators even at the peak of the Out of Body Realm,

The difficulties barring his path likely amounted to no more than that!

With strength far beyond the Out of Body Realm, obtaining an opportunity to advance to the Spirit Wandering Realm was by no means impossible for him.
