Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 394: 225. The Demonic Sword Cultivator is Finally Exposed_2

However, although the Blood Sea was gone, transformed into a Blood Spring no larger than an ordinary pond, it bestowed upon Tan Shuchang an unexpected ability that he had long dreamed of.

Within the Blood Spring, he could control the flow of time, and all enlightenment gained within could directly link to the world outside the Blood Spring, as if he had spent those many years contemplating under normal circumstances.

That is to say, if the flow of time within the Blood Spring was accelerated a hundredfold, only a year would pass outside while a century would have elapsed inside the Blood Spring, and a century’s worth of enlightenment within the Blood Spring was truly a century’s worth of enlightenment!

Tan Shuchang had never stopped thinking about his half-completed Alchemy Path Puppet, wasn’t it because this puppet could shorten his time of enlightenment?

Now that the Coexistent Blood Pool possessed such a capability, where would Tan Shuchang hesitate? He materialized his immortal blood form, entered the Blood Spring, then after accelerating the flow of time within the Blood Spring, he began to contemplate “The Twenty-Four Seasons.”

And this contemplation lasted three thousand years within the Blood Spring!

Because he had accelerated the flow of time by a thousand times.

However, this was not his limit, but rather the current limit of the Blood Spring.

One day, the Coexistent Blood Pool, which was a world unto itself, let out a wisp of aura. Then a figure streaked out from it. He gazed into the distance at the surroundings and stood at this place for seven days and seven nights, watching the sunrise and the moonrise seven times, before he was barely able to suppress the disarray of time within himself.

This figure was Tan Shuchang.

Having cultivated for three thousand years within the Blood Spring, he had integrated all the fortunes from the Immortal encounters in the “Jiawu Realm” except for Day and Night.

The enlightenment of “The Twenty-Four Seasons,” however, far exceeded Tan Shuchang’s imagination.

He initially believed that after incarnating as heaven and earth, he would at most comprehend for a thousand years, but the actual time spent in enlightenment was twice his estimate. Because in the later stages of enlightenment, the most difficult feat was to break out of his incarnated state as heaven and earth.

In the later stages of comprehending “The Twenty-Four Seasons,” Tan Shuchang even felt something akin to Hong Jun’s fusion with the Dao, where he became one with heaven and earth, and heaven and earth were not equal to him…

Fortunately, he was within the Blood Spring, which allowed him to break out of his incarnated state at the final moment.

“Next comes the final step…”

Tan Shuchang summoned his Coexistent Blood Pool, and then once again entered this self-contained world within the Blood Pool.

A lotus platform formed of Yin Spirit Power lifted him up.

He did not delay, and with a wave of his hand, the genuine bodies of Immortal Clan cultivators who had “contributed greatly” and “built upon” the Blood Pool flew out one by one, then transformed into the source of power that lifted the lotus platform.

In just an instant on the lotus platform, Tan Shuchang’s three thousand years of enlightenment all transformed into his Dao cultivation.

Originally he had one thousand six hundred years of Dao cultivation, but now his Dao cultivation strength had directly reached three thousand four hundred years!

“An increase of one thousand eight hundred years of Dao cultivation.”

Tan Shuchang was highly satisfied with this result.

With more than three thousand years of Dao cultivation, Tan Shuchang began to experience the feeling of the Grand Cultivators of the Land of the Four Pillars, where every action seemed to have the power to tear open the heavens and split the earth.

“The Immortal Clan friends, what treasures they are!”

At this thought, Tan Shuchang’s heart began to stir. He truly had not expected the Immortal Clan cultivators to be such a great supplement to his Coexistent Blood Pool.

Just a few dozen Immortal Clan cultivators like Wan Chen and Fairy Susu had brought him significant benefits.

If he could refine the ancestors of the Immortal Clan, wouldn’t he be able to vie for a position as a High Immortal in the Immortal Court?

But after a round of thoughts, Tan Shuchang restrained himself.

Because the disorienting sensation of his personal timeline was only temporarily suppressed, not completely eliminated. Although this was not a hidden danger, if left unchecked, it would still cause problems.

Therefore, Tan Shuchang went to the peculiar game world, also known as the realm where the Ghost Path prospered. At this time, the peculiar game world had merged with this realm to become a world truly deserving of the name peculiar world, hence this appellation was entirely unproblematic.

After all, there are quite a few players in this world.

Compared to eleven years ago, when Tan Shuchang was invited to the strange game, the treatment and development of the players invited into this strange game world now are countless times better than those of the players eleven years ago.

Upon joining, one could first borrow three orange-tier treasures. If one could enter the Ghost Realm unscathed, they could not only repay the debt slowly but also pursue immortality.

As for those who couldn’t make it out of the Ghost Realm?

Well, naturally, they wouldn’t have to repay anything since they would have perished in the Ghost Realm.

There was danger, but it was undeniable that the benefits now far outweighed the risks, especially for those whose lifespan was nearing its end. Being able to enter the strange game world was an enormous opportunity.

The Snake Desire Realm was centered around Tan Shuchang, so although he wasn’t here for three years, there hadn’t been many significant changes. However, there were quite a few minor changes. For instance, Tan Shuchang had just arrived when he happened to meet several players, who took the initiative to greet him and ask if he was going to join the hunt for the Sword Demoness.

“Sword Demoness?” Tan Shuchang undoubtedly heard the term for the first time—wasn’t this place dominated by the Ghost King? Where did the Sword Demoness come from?

“It’s that Demon Cultivator woman who controls a multitude of blood-colored ghost shadows! In the past three years, she has not only annihilated Phoenix Tree Mountain but has also devoured three Ghost Kings, leading to a bounty placed on her by Ghost Kings everywhere. Anyone who takes part in the execution of the Sword Demoness will receive great rewards from the Ghost Kings…” These players weren’t of high cultivation, all possessing only orange-tier Yin Spirit Power, but evidently, they were looking to cast a long-range skill, hoping to mix in and snag a group reward.

Tan Shuchang didn’t know who this Sword Demoness was, but after listening to the players, an expression of intrigue emerged in his eyes.

After all, he could guess who it was with such obvious characteristics.

So Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but wonder how this little girl went from being a mere player to having a bounty on her head by the Ghost King—and even becoming the “protagonist” of other players’ group missions?

Thus, Tan Shuchang looked at the players before him and said, “Are you asking me to lead you there?” @@novelbin@@

“If it’s not too much trouble, we would be much obliged for your help, brother!” The player making the decisions lit up with joy upon hearing Tan Shuchang’s offer.

“Not a trouble at all!” Tan Shuchang gestured dismissively with his hand.

“We’ve packed our things and are ready to go. Please, brother, lead the way!” The players exclaimed, thanking him one after another.

Realizing that they had misunderstood him, Tan Shuchang didn’t correct them immediately but merely said, “It’s not necessary to go to all that trouble. You can just follow the others when the time comes.”

With these words, Tan Shuchang waved his sleeve.

In an instant, the players vanished from before Tan Shuchang’s eyes, having been transported by his sleeve to the outskirts of a city.

The city in question was the distinctive “Hand and Foot City,” but the focus at that moment wasn’t the city itself but a camp on the empty land outside.

Tan Shuchang had found this place after “looking” around a moment ago.

The coalition hunting the Sword Demoness consisted of six camps, and this was the one with the most players.

Easily, Tan Shuchang had sent them on their way, leaving them stupefied, needing several moments to recover from their astonishment.

“Did we… just encounter one of the true powerhouses of this place?” one of the players murmured as if in a dream.

After all, most of the cultivators in this place weren’t of high cultivation.

Cultivators with yellow-tier Yin Spirit Power were already considered the pinnacle in this land. The powers displayed by someone with that level of cultivation were naturally very limited.

Therefore, Tan Shuchang’s display of Void Shifting inevitably gave the players an immense shock.

“He’s probably not just a strong person, this guy must be at least on par with that Sword Demoness!” The player who had taken charge earlier now showed a face full of regret.

If they had known that the person they met halfway was so powerful, why would they bother coming here? Why not just cling to his coattails and ask to become his disciple?

An opportunity for immortality! And they had missed it just like that!
