Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 377: 217. A True Immortal Descends, Inviting Demon Lord Tan to Enter Tribulation_3

After all, demon cultivators are mostly insane, unable to pass even their own trials, let alone embrace the will of heaven.

Cultivation is not merely about accumulating strength and enhancing combat abilities.

What’s more, too much is as bad as not enough!

“Ning fellow Daoist, we must be obsessing over a minor detail. If you and I were to find ourselves in this ascension place, our first choice would likely be to become loose cultivators. But he is Tan Shuchang…” Like a drowning person clutching at a straw, Jun Zimo couldn’t help starting to idealize Tan Shuchang.

“Jun fellow Daoist, are you saying that Tan Shuchang actually infiltrated a cultivation family?”

“And alchemy, artifact refining circles as well, and his cultivation level shouldn’t have stopped at the first certification…”

With this shift in perspective, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo made inquiries and soon learned of Tan Shuchang’s exact whereabouts from a sword cultivator of the Shushan Immortal Sect.

The Shushan Immortal Sect had sealed off their mountain. Because this sword cultivator couldn’t stand the dullness inside the mountain, he didn’t return immediately. However, fearing for his life, he reflected for a moment and decided to seek out Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo.

“Stepping into the ranks of the long-lived, a loose cultivator named Tan Shuchang, I haven’t heard of him. However, a Tan Shuchang who has merged dual certifications and is serving as a Mountain Patrol Envoy in Mang Mountain Heavenly Ghost Ridge, backed by the Red Lotus family, I happen to know of.” The sword cultivator said, noticing some changes in the expressions of Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo, so he added, “Because this Tan Shuchang has received the inheritance of the Literary Dao True Immortal of our Shushan Immortal Sect, several senior brothers have gone to seek him out, hoping to persuade him to return. Do you two know about Tan Shuchang’s whereabouts?”

“Isn’t he in the Heavenly Ghost Ridge?”

Jun Zimo and Ning Shuqi were somewhat surprised. Since it was already stated where he was serving, why still ask such a question?

“This Tan Shuchang is serving as a Mountain Patrol Envoy in Heavenly Ghost Ridge, but what you fellow disciples may not know is that each time those senior brothers went there, Tan Shuchang was nowhere to be found, hence they could never persuade him to return to the Immortal Sect.” The sword cultivator shook his head.

Hearing this, Jun Zimo and Ning Shuqi suddenly realized that this Mount Mang Heavenly Ghost Ridge Patrol Envoy, Tan Shuchang, was in fact the Demon Lord Tan they had initially been skeptical about!

Now certain of this, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo’s feelings were naturally complex. But soon after, they were both overjoyed.

After all, if they couldn’t break through this situation,

it didn’t mean that Demon Lord Tan couldn’t either!

Thus, after thanking the sword cultivator from Shushan Immortal Sect, they rushed to Mang Mountain.

“Ning fellow Daoist, if Tan Shuchang is unwilling to leave the mountain, what should we do?” As the saying goes, concern leads to chaos. Having placed their hopes on Tan Shuchang, Jun Zimo couldn’t help feeling unsettled and anxious.

“Jun fellow Daoist, we just need to make a trip to Mang Mountain. Whether it works or not, whether we see Tan Shuchang or not, it means that Tan Shuchang has already faced calamity…” Ning Shuqi said with a solemn tone.

This much was evident from the actions of the various major families and Immortal Sects. Immortal Sects and families have backgrounds to rely on, making it feasible to close their doors. What could Tan Shuchang rely on then?

He didn’t doubt Tan Shuchang’s abilities and talent.

The reason Ning Shuqi felt this way was simply because, in this world, cultivation wasn’t just about individual effort or capability, but also about one’s background.

Background not only determined a cultivator’s upper limit but also their lower limit and the different treatment they could get when facing various situations.

If it weren’t so, why would half of those loose cultivators capable of achieving endless years of cultivation be demon cultivators?

Without being a counter-example to the righteous path, there wouldn’t even be a chance to emerge.

Soon, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo arrived at Mang Mountain Heavenly Ghost Ridge. Naturally, they didn’t meet Tan Shuchang, but they both left their visiting cards.
