Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 422: 238, Steal the momentum!

Tan Shuchang had cultivated for twenty years, long journeys reveal a horse’s strength, becoming an immortal reveals one’s independence.

Unwittingly, so many years have slipped by since I began my cultivation, my heart can’t help but be filled with emotion, time flies, and appearances fade…though it seems I can’t age.

Not only do I still look like my young self from my coming-of-age, but even that demon sword cultivator from the neighboring mountaintop remains unchanged, still looking like the little girl from back then…

Huh?

Twenty years have passed, speaking in terms of age, she should have gone from the girl next door to the aunty across the way, so why is she still so short?

…

...

Writing this far, Tan Shuchang paused, as he remembered that the culprit for the little girl’s perennial appearance was, in fact, he himself, so he hurriedly steered the topic elsewhere in his journal.

He continued to write—

After so many years, I felt like writing a journal today but not with too many reflections, just because I was very happy today. It turns out that True Immortals of the Ghost Path exist not only in the Land of Yin and Darkness but also in great numbers within the Land of the Four Pillars.

Today, with just a fleeting glance, I saw four True Immortals of the Ghost Path!

Before I dispatched the Tai’a Fire Master in the Snake Desire Realm, there were only five such True Immortals in the Land of Yin and Darkness, and now to have seen four in one place is truly astonishing.

The Land of the Four Pillars is indeed the only world beneath the Primordial Heavenly Realm.

With that, this first journal entry after so many years comes to an end. Despite not having written for a long time, he felt no unfamiliarity at all.

Then, Tan Shuchang did not put away the journal he had just finished, but left it out to allow the ink on the page to dry naturally.

The paper and pen he used for writing the journal were still ordinary ones.

However, this ‘ordinary’ is relative, for these paper and pens would be considered quite fine by scholars and literati in the mundane world.

Just then, Tan Shuchang caught a glimpse of a bouncing figure out of the corner of his eye, so he immediately packed away the journal, and the ink on the paper dried instantly.

It’s not that he couldn’t have done so earlier; he simply didn’t want to, nothing more.

Approaching immortality, Tan Shuchang had unconsciously developed a taste for simplicity and returning to the fundamentals. His actions increasingly aligned with the Daoist concept of effortless action.

“You were looking for me?” Dongdong, upon seeing Tan Shuchang, leaped on a beam of sword light and instantly arrived in front of him, then tilted her little head and asked.

She had already returned to the Ancient Sword Immortal Domain because the experiences in the Land of the Four Pillars made her decide to diligently cultivate for several hundred years, hoping to reach the next stage of enlightenment sooner.

While a certain demon cultivator could spend centuries on a single thought or cultivate for a thousand years, Dongdong had to accumulate her cultivation steadily, step by step.

This wasn’t due to any lack of talent in her cultivation.

It was a challenge faced by any cultivator with exceptional talent in the Sword Dao, even the distinguished and well-connected Purple-Gold Immortal had to confront this. Otherwise, the Purple-Gold Immortal wouldn’t have failed to comprehend the Star Fate Divine Skills after listening to the Ancestor of the Dao, but instead was forced to create his own Star Fate Swordsmanship.

Only reaching the level of the four True Immortal Masters, approaching the realm of the Ancestor of the Dao, could one be exempt from this inexplicable influence.

However, at that level, such innate talent for cultivation was no longer essential.

Dongdong was already starting her cultivation, but then a message came suddenly, and Tan Shuchang had called her over again.

“What do you need me for?” Dongdong continued to ask.

“I want to take you to the Land of the Four Pillars again…” Tan Shuchang said, a decision he had reached after much deliberation while writing in his journal.

Having seen the little girl’s fortune collide with the aura of a descending True Immortal undergoing tribulation, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but entertain some thoughts.

He felt it wasn’t easy for him to find Immortal Clan cultivators; often, he might not encounter ten in three to four days. Perhaps it wasn’t because these Immortal Clan cultivators were too scattered, but rather because of his own fortune!

Although his fortune was as imposing as a mountain, soaring into the sky, it was simply the most basic white aura. Thus, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but suspect that it was this very fortune that resulted in his dismal luck in the Land of the Four Pillars.

After all, the little girl had just gone to the Land of the Four Pillars and had already encountered several True Immortals of the Ghost Path!

When had he ever come across a True Immortal there, unless he deliberately sought trouble?

The few encounters he had with a True Immortal were also due to a bit of fortune in Shenxu Heaven. Moreover, his chance to meet a True Immortal happened because he was “added” into the occasion.

The main target of that True Immortal’s teachings at the time was not him, but his “Iron Head” niece, the former King of the Mountain and Sea Jiao!

So, after repeatedly comparing his own and the little girl’s differing fates in the Land of the Four Pillars, Tan Shuchang came up with this idea. @@novelbin@@

He would place Dongdong in the Land of the Four Pillars and then quietly hide himself, waiting for the girl to encounter a True Immortal before he would appear!

Upon hearing Tan Shuchang’s words, Dongdong’s large, distinctively clear eyes looked left and right before excitement and anticipation spread across her delicate face: “Are you thinking of capturing a True Immortal again?”

This little girl also loved stirring up trouble.

“I’ve created a cultivation technique for becoming an immortal that has hit a snag, and I need a few True Immortal friends to lend me a hand,” Tan Shuchang said naturally, a mild tone in his voice and a hint of a smile in his eyes.
