Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 934 - 844: Reasoning with Pros and Cons

After Duan Gujin left, Zhan Changsheng immediately stepped forward and carefully scrutinized Zhan Huantai."You look so much like I did when I was young!"

Zhan Changsheng said with excitement.

Zhan Huantai felt extremely frustrated in his heart. Although he knew the person in front of him was his biological father, he had no affection for Zhan Changsheng at all. He did not want to acknowledge him.

However, Duan Gujin had previously advised him not to clash with Zhan Changsheng until his cultivation had broken through to the Shattering Void Realm, which meant he needed to endure for at least several decades.

Duan Gujin understood clearly that Zhan Huantai would rise several decades later, not now.

Currently, Zhan Huantai's strength was still very weak and he was no match for the Taihuang Immortal Sect.

In the previous Dimension Advancement Competition for thirty thousand planes, Duan Gujin achieved notable results, but he knew very well that it was because of his efforts in both his past and present lifetimes. He failed to achieve first place due to his current cultivation level.

He was currently only at the Martial Saint Second Level, whereas in some Demigod World planes, the cultivation resources were far more abundant than those on Qiankun Continent, Jiuzhou Continent, and Yuanzhen Continent.

Zhan Huantai dared not defy Duan Gujin's warning.

After the thirty thousand Kilometer Advancement Competition, he realized his own strength roughly.

He understood the saying "the sky is vast beyond our understanding, and the mountains higher than the eye can see," for he realized the world was filled with many masters.

Thus, he agreed to Duan Gujin's request.

"My mother left me a letter. She told me not to hate you. She wants me to reconcile with you, after all, I am your son!"

Zhan Huantai said wistfully.

"Then call me father right away!"

Zhan Changsheng exclaimed eagerly.

"Haha, let's talk about it later!"

Zhan Huantai suppressed his resentment and quickly vetoed Zhan Changsheng's suggestion.

If it weren't for the pressure of the situation, he wouldn't reconcile with Zhan Changsheng. Not to mention being alone with him here for so long.

For a moment, Zhan Changsheng was at a loss, never imagining he would have a twenty-something illegitimate child.

His eyes wandered as he contemplated a plan.

After a while, he asked, "Huantai, what is your cultivation level now?"

"Martial Saint First Level!"

Zhan Huantai replied indifferently.

"Oh!"

Zhan Changsheng's mind raced, thinking of the children he had with the Sect Leader's daughter.

He had six children with her — two sons and four daughters. However, despite their gender, all six had mediocre talents, and none had yet broken through to Emperor Wu.

Compared to Zhan Huantai, those six children were nothing.

Knowing he had an exceptionally gifted child, and a son at that, Zhan Changsheng felt extremely happy.

"Huantai, you should join Taihuang Immortal Sect. I can take good care of you here!"

Zhan Changsheng immediately decided to invite Zhan Huantai.

Duan Gujin had previously discussed with Zhan Huantai, believing that Zhan Changsheng would definitely try to recruit Zhan Huantai.

He had already told Zhan Huantai that when Zhan Changsheng decided to recruit him, he should join the Taihuang Immortal Sect.

"That might not be a good idea!"

Zhan Huantai chuckled dryly, eyes flickering.

Hearing Zhan Huantai's dry laugh, Zhan Changsheng's eyes flickered, realizing Zhan Huantai might be ridiculing his past actions.

Zhan Changsheng immediately said, "Huantai, you probably don't know this, but I was also forced back then. If I hadn't married the Sect Leader's daughter, I wouldn't have had the chance to become Sect Leader. I truly had feelings for your mother, but could I ignore the previous Sect Leader's orders? Fear not, for I now hold real power. Once you join Taihuang Immortal Sect, I'll publicly announce that you're a long-lost relative of the Zhan family. It doesn't matter what your background is; what's important is using Taihuang Immortal Sect's cultivation resources to break through to the Shattering Void Realm. A golden opportunity lies before you—if you miss it, it won't come again! You know the Divine World's advancement competition is only open to Martial Saints under forty. Exceeding that age means you can't participate anymore. Although there are many Martial Saints in Taihuang Immortal Sect, those who break through the Martial Saint realm before forty are rare! Except for Duan Gujin, no Martial Saints from Yuanzhen Continent performed well. Taihuang Immortal Sect even lost two young Martial Saints!"

Talking about the Dimension Advancement Competition left Zhan Changsheng deeply frustrated.

He had hoped his disciples would earn a top thousand rank, only to find they not only failed to achieve noteworthy ranks but also lost two Martial Saints.

He knew the difficulty of cultivating two Martial Saints in Taihuang Immortal Sect.

Losing two meant years of cultivation investment were wasted.

Seeing his son before him, Zhan Changsheng thought only of recruiting Zhan Huantai with all his strength.

Despite Zhan Huantai and Duan Gujin previously causing harm to his disciples, he was now willing to let go of his grudges against Zhan Huantai.

Before, he hadn't understood why Zhan Huantai and Duan Gujin targeted him.

It was because Zhan Huantai was Song's son, which explained the justified resentment.

"You've had it tough. I sent many to look for Song but couldn't find her no matter what! I tried for a long time before having to give up. My hands were tied because I hadn't yet become Taihuang Immortal Sect's Sect Leader!"

Zhan Changsheng feigned remorse and said.

"Oh!"

Zhan Huantai's eyes flickered, unable to believe Zhan Changsheng's words.

"Huantai, I hope we can join forces to elevate Taihuang Immortal Sect to new heights. I owe you, and I'll repay it! Now is the perfect time; the Divine World is holding a Dimension Advancement Competition. If Yuanzhen Continent advances, we'll gain more cultivation resources. For martial artists, what's most precious: cultivation techniques and resources! Yuanzhen Continent's planes restrict martial artists to the Shattering Void Realm. I've cultivated for years, stuck at the Shattering Sky First Layer. Do you think I don't want to upgrade quickly? I do, but I lack appropriate resources for cultivation beyond the Shattering Void Realm!"

Zhan Changsheng expressed with emotion.

He deliberately paused to let Zhan Huantai ponder his words, then continued, "If Yuanzhen Continent advances, you'll have enough resources to ascend to higher realms. You won't be like me, struggling to surpass the Shattering Void Realm, only to remain at the first layer for a lifetime. I've been stuck in this realm for twenty-one years now!"

Listening to Zhan Changsheng, Zhan Huantai furrowed his brows.

Zhan Changsheng spoke truthfully; Zhan Huantai had learned Zhan Changsheng's cultivation level stayed at the Shattering Sky First Layer due to inadequate resources.

He initially believed that Zhan Changsheng concealed his true strength.

Hearing the man's acknowledgment of being stuck at the first layer shocked him rather than delighted him.

He realized his breakthrough to Martial Saint First Level was due to his talent, but inadequate resources on Yuanzhen Continent caused a scarcity of Shattering Void Realm martial artists at Taihuang Immortal Sect.

Indeed, his talent surpassed many Yuanzhen martial artists.

Yet when facing martial artists from higher planes, he might not stand a chance.

Additionally, his rank was beyond a thousand in the Dimension Advancement Competition, making him aware of the skill gap between him and elite competitors.
