Jiang Chen did not immediately let Elder Shun leave because, after inspecting Elder Shun's crippled meridians, he found that they still had hope for recovery. So, Jiang Chen decided to keep Elder Shun here for a while longer to give him a chance to heal Elder Shun's meridians and restore his strength. After all, on the Eternal Divine Kingdom of the Myriad Abyss Island, lacking martial dao skills definitely won't work.
Elder Shun was initially despondent, but upon hearing that there was hope for recovery, he felt like he had found a lifeline and became somewhat hopeful.
Thanks to Jiang Chen's relentless efforts, he indeed managed to fulfill his wish and repair Elder Shun's meridians. Although this could not instantly restore Elder Shun's cultivation, over a year or two, Elder Shun could gradually explore and recover without any issues.
"Elder Shun, this is a Ding Tian Pill, which can unconditionally advance one's cultivation level by one in the empyrean realm."
