Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 428: 241, I can be polite to this world, but I will not be kind to this world.

The ancestor of the Wanchen Immortal Clan is indeed very powerful!

After refining the soul of this ancestor of the Immortal Clan, though Tan Shuchang’s Coexistent Blood Pool showed no change, something was clearly being nurtured within it.

There were two embryo-like objects, gathering all the ferocity within the Blood Pool.

In addition, the comprehension of the Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit by this Ancestral True Immortal from the Wanchen Immortal Clan also greatly benefited Tan Shuchang.

With the aid of the Lotus Platform, he managed in an instant to add another thousand years to his Dao cultivation.

As for the soul of another True Immortal, also from the Immortal Clan, this one was clearly not as formidable as the ancestral True Immortal of the Wanchen clan, having only recently ascended to True Immortality a few days ago.

...

Not to mention the perception of the Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit, even in the understanding of certain teachings, he was somewhat inferior to Tan Shuchang!

Thus, refining this True Immortal did not bring him much benefit.

However, although there was no benefit, a True Immortal is still a True Immortal. This newly anointed True Immortal from the Immortal Clan was promoted with the assistance of the power of the Primordial Heavenly Realm’s Immortal Court, which allowed Tan Shuchang to grasp a clever method to refine the Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit.

While Tan Shuchang might not need this method himself, he could write it down in his own legacy, leaving an alternative path for his future disciples from the Sacred Gate.

Nearing his own Ascension, Tan Shuchang also began to consider his own legacy.

For cultivation after becoming an Immortal did not merely involve cultivating oneself. Only after refining the soul of this ancestor from the Wanchen Immortal Clan did Tan Shuchang learn from the fragments of memory that a True Immortal who wished to advance further must leave behind a legacy, and teach a group of creatures.

This was a law specifically targeting True Immortals since the disappearance of the Immortal Court and the seclusion of the Celestial Heavens.

The True Immortals of the Immortal Clan choose only to teach internally or recruit suitable candidates from the thirty-six Sacred Gates for teaching. This ensures that descendants of the Immortal Clan could continuously possess the lineage of True Immortals.

There are True Immortals in the thirty-six Sacred Gates too, but not as many as in the Immortal Clan.

After all, the Immortal Clan almost entirely consists of those with True Immortal lineage.

And the True Immortal lineage in these thirty-six Sacred Gates is not the kind tainted by mere exposure to True Immortal Qi or influenced by the lingering Qi mechanism left by a True Immortal, but genuine descendants of True Immortals.

This type of True Immortal lineage, though perhaps not as strong as those formed from exposure to True Immortal Qi, is infinitely close in terms of blood purity to that of pure True Immortal blood.

Therefore, these are considered the best marital matches for the Immortal Clan.

“Can teaching ghosts work?” Tan Shuchang pondered. Teaching a group of creatures seemed too troublesome. If teaching ghosts was feasible, then he could simply take control of a part of the city in the Land of Yin and Darkness.

But after thinking for a while, Tan Shuchang shook his head.

It was not because he thought ghosts were not creatures and thus could not be taught. Rather, he vaguely felt that this matter of teaching seemed eerily familiar.

Following this familiarity, Tan Shuchang sat cross-legged on his Lotus Platform above the Blood Pool, deeply contemplating and searching closely.

Suddenly, an impulse surged forth.

“Mortal aura…”

“The question of Heaven and Earth in combining two proofs into the Dao…” @@novelbin@@

Tan Shuchang realized with a start; the familiarity came from this.

“This is a shackle intended for True Immortals!”

Though he now understood, this realization only caused Tan Shuchang more distress because the first shackle, the mortal aura, did not impact significantly; transcending it was considered breaking it.

The second shackle arose during the questioning by Heaven and Earth, where he broke through while within the Blood Pool, using the power of the Blood Pool to counter the questioning forces of Heaven and Earth and thereby achieving a successful breakthrough.

This method of breakthrough could also be considered his breaking of this second shackle.

“The method to break this third shackle might also lie within this Blood Pool…” Tan Shuchang’s gaze involuntarily fell upon the two embryo-like objects still nurturing within it.

He wasn’t sure what these things were, as he couldn’t sense them, but the appearance of these embryo-like objects surely wasn’t without cause.

“I still need to ask a few True Immortals from the Ghost Path for help!” Tan Shuchang immediately prepared to visit the Land of the Four Pillars again but this time, he didn’t bring the young girl along.

Because he felt that the method of “willingly taking the bait” was no longer effective.

One trick might work once or twice, but not a third time!

The scenery in the Land of the Four Pillars remained exceptionally beautiful. The mountain ranges towered magnificently, with streams meandering between forests and towns. Beyond the four pillars, the land was a tapestry of splendor.

Upon surveying this piece of heaven and earth, Tan Shuchang bowed in gratitude.

This was to thank the sudden inspiration he had received previously.

If not unexpected, that sudden understanding must have originated from the Crimson Spring Path. After all, according to the memory of that Wanchen friend, he is now the only Immortal Path Creature of the Crimson Spring Path.

Immortal Path Creatures, before him, were invariably transformations cultivated by heaven and earth, like the prior Immortal Path Creature of the Crimson Spring Path, Crimson Spring Child, born from a strand of hair from the Ghost Mother of the Path of Many Evils after falling to the mortal realm, capturing a segment of the life essence of the Land of the Four Pillars.

Though there are examples of later-day beings transforming and ultimately becoming natural Immortal Path Creatures, such occurrences are rare and were said to have only appeared a few times before the emergence of the Immortal Court.

“Who would have thought that the origins of my birth mother were so significant…” Tan Shuchang could not help but say, although he was unsure if his words could be heard, he still spoke them out loud.
