Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 400: 228. This Ghost Path True Immortal seems a bit subpar_2

However, this type of True Immortal bloodline, despite bearing the name of a True Immortal bloodline, is the least impressive of them all. After all, the potential of such a True Immortal bloodline is already capped; let alone becoming an Immortal, it is doubtful one could even achieve initial enlightenment.

Therefore, oftentimes, the emergence of this type of True Immortal bloodline, if not due to chance, signifies they’re either instant cannon fodder or merely a pawn.

When Tan Shuchang mingled in the Alchemy circles, he had heard that a Dragon True Immortal loved engaging in such acts, resulting in countless individuals with dragon lineage and Mountain-Sea Beasts.

After all, the method to create a True Immortal bloodline was exceedingly simple.

In the “Fire One City”, because of the existence of various flames, every place was brightly lit, but deeper along the path, the multicolored flames disappeared in an instant.

In their place was a vast expanse of dark depths.

Amid this eerie atmosphere, a stone bridge, leading to an unknown destination, floated in the void.

The Earth Ghost Immortal Ghost Blade did not pause, strolling directly onto the stone bridge.

Seeing this, Tan Shuchang, naturally undeterred, followed without hesitation.

He walked on this stone bridge for a long time, or perhaps not very long. As Tan Shuchang’s incarnation was unable to discern the precise time, the end of the stone bridge suddenly came into view.

It was a massive stone hall.

Made of colossal yet ordinary stones, its crudeness and simplicity evoked a rural temple feeling.

However, inside such a grand hall, a Ghost Path True Immortal sat in a lotus position.

Tan Shuchang did not meet the Tai’a Fire Master because he could not enter. After Earth Ghost Immortal Ghost Blade guided him here, a meditation cushion had already been placed in front of the hall.

Upon seeing this, Ghost Blade immediately left.

Clearly, this meditation cushion was prepared by the Ghost Path True Immortal here for Tan Shuchang.

“Many thanks, Tai’a Fire Master!” Tan Shuchang graciously thanked, as he was addressing a True Immortal.

Although the other party was just a Ghost Path True Immortal, out of respect for this realm, Tan Shuchang naturally did not skimp on the formalities.

“My fellow Daoist flatters me; when you arrived earlier, I noticed something exceptional about you, and I didn’t expect that you truly are a powerful Cultivator,” responded a gentle voice from behind the unopened doors of the massive stone hall to Tan Shuchang.

“Tan Someone is merely at the third enlightenment stage and dares not to accept such an address from fellow Daoist Fire Master!”

Tan Shuchang spoke in a warm tone, taking care to keep his posture very low.

After all, it was his first time preparing to make a move on a True Immortal, and he also needed to find a way to get this Ghost Path True Immortal to change locations, so his demeanor had to be as pleasing as possible. Otherwise, what should he do if the other party refused to go to the sinister game world?

An incarnation with a thousand years of Dao, and moreover in this Land of Yin and Darkness, faced a Ghost Path True Immortal with no chances of victory.

He had to coax the Ghost Path True Immortal away from the Land of Yin and Darkness first.

“You are too modest, my friend; with your divine skills, it’s fitting to call you a Daoist,” the gentle voice from inside the massive stone hall echoed once again.

And hearing this, Tan Shuchang immediately understood that the Ghost Path True Immortal actually needed something from him!

Otherwise, why would he be so amiable?

That specially subdued tone was something a Demon Cultivator would recognize too well. After all, every time before taking action, such a process was indispensable.

This made Tan Shuchang view the massive stone hall before him with a subtly changing perspective.

“Thanks for the compliment, Fire Master, Tan Someone is willing to die for Fire Master!” Tan Shuchang stated appropriately.

Now that he had discerned the implied message in those words, Tan Shuchang naturally needed to show some of his own intentions, like shouting a few slogans.

After all, language is the bridge of communication.

“Fellow Daoist, there is no need for such concern. My search for you is, of course, not to send you to your death. However, the Land of Yin and Darkness is undergoing changes, and since I currently lack suitable candidates, I have sought you out to explore the paths that lead to the outer worlds and see with which realm the Land of Yin and Darkness is now connected.”

In the vast stone hall, a voice with a hint of warmth continuously echoed as the Tai’a Fire Master revealed the purpose behind summoning Tan Shuchang through the Ghost Blade.

Upon hearing such a request, Tan Shuchang naturally felt it strange, yet he verbally agreed without any hesitation or delay.

Seeing Tan Shuchang’s compliance, the Tai’a Fire Master’s gaze at Tan Shuchang’s incarnation grew considerably warmer. Consequently, he called the Ghost Blade and instructed him to lead Tan Shuchang’s incarnation to the closest path.

That path was naturally one of the types Tan Shuchang had seen in the eerie game world. @@novelbin@@

“Thank you for your efforts, fellow Daoist.” The Earth Ghost Immortal Ghost Blade once again revealed a rigid smile as he said to Tan Shuchang, “I will be here, waiting for the good news from you.”

Tan Shuchang’s incarnation took the path without hesitation.

As soon as he stepped on this path, he instantly felt different from the time at the Land of Yin and Darkness, yet Tan Shuchang’s incarnation did not show any strangeness because he correctly guessed that the path indeed led to the eerie game world.

The connection with his original body became much easier immediately.

However, Tan Shuchang was unable to determine which path leading to the Land of Yin and Darkness his incarnation would come out of because there were many paths in the eerie game world at the moment.

In the Snake Desire Realm alone, there were several such paths! After contacting a certain young girl, he found even more such paths there.

And if it is like this in just the Snake Desire Realm, what about other parts of the eerie game world in the Ancient Sword Immortal Domain?

Such paths, without doubt, were numerous.

Thus, Tan Shuchang’s incarnation returned immediately. After all, he was not genuinely working for the Earth Ghost Immortal Tai’a Fire Master, and his knowledge about the eerie game world was already quite profound.

The Earth Ghost Immortal Ghost Blade, who was waiting outside the path, felt some surprise and suspicion upon seeing Tan Shuchang return so quickly.

Because previously, either the Yin Gods and fierce ghosts who entered this path did not return, or they were too scared to proceed.

This was precisely why the Earth Ghost Immortal Tai’a Fire Master had invited Tan Shuchang’s incarnation.

“Did you manage to investigate so quickly?” asked the Earth Ghost Immortal Ghost Blade. The question seemed ordinary, but he was already doubting Tan Shuchang’s incarnation,

believing that, like those Yin Gods who were too scared to continue, he had been frightened back.

The paths connecting the Land of Yin and Darkness to the outer realms, if familiar, would be boldly traversed by even the spirits. But if unknown, not even fierce ghosts, let alone Yin Gods, would dare. After all, an unfamiliar realm represented vast unknown dangers. Some realms could instantly annihilate a ghostly being upon their arrival.

“Yes, as soon as I arrived there, I encountered a Ghost King. After speaking with him for a moment, I gathered some general information about that place…”

Tan Shuchang’s incarnation spoke, explaining the Yin Spirit Power system and the world characteristics like the Ghost King’s enfeoffment by heaven and earth.

Upon hearing Tan Shuchang’s description, the Ghost Blade’s eyes were filled with surprise and joy.

“With such a merit established by the fellow Daoist, the Fire Master will definitely reward you handsomely!” After saying this, the Ghost Blade hurried away to relay the news to the Earth Ghost Immortal Tai’a Fire Master.

Watching the Earth Ghost Immortal leave, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but feel a trace of peculiar emotion in his eyes.

He had not expected that after becoming the fifth Earth Ghost Immortal in the Land of Yin and Darkness, the overpowering Tai’a Fire Master, who boldly snatched from the jaws of death, truly needed “external help” even for such a routine exploration.

Of course, his incarnation hardly counted as any real external help; at most, it was just clearing a path.

But this also indicated that the divine abilities of the Earth Ghost Immortal Tai’a Fire Master seemed extremely limited! Otherwise, why not just forcefully produce several Ghost Path testimonies to explore the path?

“This Earth Ghost Immortal… seems not as formidable as I imagined?” thought Tan Shuchang, feeling a wave of extremely yin energy washing over him.

Then, a figure swiftly entered the path,

looking extremely impatient.
