Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 485: 266, Shuchang killed a follower 2

This time, he directly elevated his cultivation by a hundred thousand years!

And while these twenty million years of cultivation brought strong mana and increased Qi fortune, they also granted Tan Shuchang an unexpected gain.

“I was still hesitating whether to first create the ninth volume of the ‘Immortal Scripture,’ but now it seems there’s no need to rush this matter of cultivation technique…”

At the True Immortal level, cultivation techniques undoubtedly remained important; however, if one only wanted to make a breakthrough in their cultivation, it was not entirely dependent on cultivation techniques.

Like Tan Shuchang, who understood the nature of the Earthly Fiend and then corroborated it with heaven and earth, thus attaining the Earthly Evil Extreme, this was a viable path.

And during the time of the Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit, this method could be utilized; when it came to the Heavenly Gang Righteous Law Fruits, the same method naturally remained viable.

However, this path was not one that ordinary people could take.

Unless one was like a certain demon cultivator who could endure hardship alongside his True Immortal friends.

Initially, Tan Shuchang thought that the Ghost Path True Immortal Souls he exchanged and those he obtained from the Earth Yin Valley were at the level of Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruits. However, what Tan Shuchang did not expect was that among them were two at the level of Heavenly Gang Righteous Law Fruits!

Although both were only Divine Spirit Immortals and not equivalent to the Extreme of Heavenly Gang – Holy Immortals, it was still immensely beneficial for Tan Shuchang, who had come to deeply understand the nature of Heavenly Gang.

Before attaining the Extreme of Heavenly Gang, Tan Shuchang no longer needed to worry about the troubles of cultivation techniques.

This was undoubtedly a happy event for him.

After all, creating one’s own cultivation technique was not easy.

And the increase in strength from his own cultivation technique was actually not significant. His main methods were still the eleven Immortal Techniques and the comprehensive enhancement effect when manifesting his True Body.

When he first encountered the Wind Bell Immortal, Tan Shuchang felt that the other was not his equal, and he was indeed not mistaken. After exchanging blows with the Wind Bell Immortal, he also discovered the key reason.

The other had cultivated to the Extreme of Heavenly Gang but surprisingly had no Immortal Position!

It was one thing not to have an Immortal Position, but to be completely devoid of Immortal Techniques was another!

Although the Ten Desolation Realm also had what was called Immortal Techniques, they fundamentally differed from those of the Primordial Heavenly Realm! What was most unbelievable was that in the Ten Desolation Realm, the combat power of a True Immortal depended entirely on the power of the Immortal Treasures they wielded!

Ironically, the True Immortals of the Ten Desolation Realm were not artifact cultivators.

Tan Shuchang did not understand why this was, but soon he had no time to ponder it, as a voice suddenly resounded beside his ear.

It was his mentor, asking him to return immediately to Tianchang Palace.

However, the time set was quite generous, within three days.

“Is this a gathering of the sect’s disciples to impart teachings?” Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but think, as the timing of the summon did not seem to be just for him.

Immediately, Tan Shuchang flew towards the sky.

Tianchang Palace was in the heavens, visible to all True Immortals, but only those True Immortals who had received permission from Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang could enter.

Already a Towering Gang with Immortal Techniques, Tan Shuchang soon returned to Tianchang Palace.

In fact, the difficulty of returning to Tianchang Palace was really only challenging for those who just attained the Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit.

Upon entering Tianchang Palace, he saw that the palace was still quiet. After all, this Tianchang Palace was vast, yet there were only a little over a hundred True Immortals residing here.

And the servants and disciples of these True Immortals were not qualified to enter.

Tan Shuchang did not interact with others; he returned to his palace and waited three days. On the third day, as a majestic presence descended, Tan Shuchang immediately understood that his mentor had arrived.

He quickly exited the palace, and a burst of spiritual light lifted him into the sky; not only Tan Shuchang but all True Immortals who had returned to Tianchang Palace were the same.

That Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang did not reveal his true body, but his voice had already sounded, “Heavenly Sword acts treasonously, scheming mischief, but in consideration of our past master-disciple relationship, you handle it yourself!”

Following this voice, a man immediately fell within Tianchang Palace, his body showing no blood or wounds, but his Path Immortal cultivation was clearly dissipating.

Tan Shuchang looked at this person, his eyes revealing a trace of surprise, “Heavenly Sword?”

If he remembered correctly, this person was his senior brother!

According to the ranking system within Tianchang Palace, this Senior Brother Heavenly Sword, even if not the closest to the mentor Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang, should be right after Second Sister Feng He.

Could such a person actually be ruined by a simple reason of “natural rebellion”?

“That cycle of ten reincarnations and thirty-three layer heavenly punishments, they were indeed just meant to obstruct the path forward…” Tan Shuchang immediately confirmed this speculation in his heart.

At the same time, he also understood why his senior brother Heavenly Sword had ended up in such a state.

If he wasn’t wrong, those ten reincarnations of his senior brother Heavenly Sword were already complete!

And after the completion of ten reincarnations, what follows would be the thirty-three layer heavenly punishments. Given that the True Immortals of the Ten Desolation Realm do not possess Immortal Techniques, whether one could cross the heavenly punishments relied entirely on the Immortal Treasures in one’s possession.

For other True Immortals, this step was likely to be obstructive, but Heavenly Sword, being the first disciple of Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang, naturally wouldn’t have weak Immortal Treasures in his possession.

In fact, his Immortal Treasures could even temporarily exert the power of an Ancient Immortal Ancestor.

And such Immortal Treasures had undoubtedly a high probability of helping one cross the thirty-three layer heavenly punishments.

“So, is it about suppression?”

Tan Shuchang instantly realized this in his mind.

By this time, Heavenly Sword had already died; the moment Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang’s words fell, Heavenly Sword made his move without any hesitation.

Because only by doing so could he walk the path of immortality again.

Even considering the past affections, Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang might not personally guide him back but would allow one of the fellow disciples to take in his reincarnation body.

And as for the efficiency with which Heavenly Sword died without saying a word, Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang was undoubtedly very pleased, and thus, after glancing at the disciples inside Tianchang Palace, said, “Fen Yu, in twelve years when Heavenly Sword reincarnates, take him as your disciple.”

“Yes!”

The True Immortal addressed as “Fen Yu” by Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang responded without hesitation.

Because it was not a discussion, but an order.

He had no right to refuse.

And with that, the matter came to an end; Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang neither preached nor even spoke a word to Tan Shuchang, just instructed the fellow disciples to consult the top ten ranked disciples should they encounter anything they didn’t understand during their cultivation.

Assigning disciples like a carefree shopkeeper.

“Farewell, Master!”

“Farewell, gracious master!”

The former was from the other disciples under Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang, and the latter was Tan Shuchang.

However, different ways of addressing did not bring about any difference in treatment; Tan Shuchang soon left again, as the path of cultivation he currently followed was achieved by completely consuming the Ghost Path True Immortal Souls in his possession.

Tan Shuchang headed straight for End-law Mountain, and as before, took out all the treasures he had, thus several True Immortals couldn’t help but come and trade with him.

They all exchanged two Ghost Path True Immortal Souls for an item they fancied.

It can only be said that the compensation treasures brought out by Wind Bell Immortal and his senior brother, True Lord of Heavenly River, were all good stuff. Not only rare, but also of high quality.

However, such good fortune did not last long; it only lasted for a day, and the next day no one came to trade with Tan Shuchang anymore.

This made Tan Shuchang leave with regret.

He originally wanted to visit Earth Yin Valley again, but at this moment his master, Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang, sent out a “mass summon” again.

“You Quan, return to Tianchang Palace within three days.”

This message was just like the previous one. Undoubtedly, it was sent out to all; as for how his master managed to send to everyone without mixing up names, that must be one of the Ancient Immortal Ancestor’s incredible methods.

Tan Shuchang returned alone yet again, and after waiting three days, as he was lifted by a beam of light, he also saw the person who was to be “publicly judged” this time.

It was a woman, extraordinary in appearance and elegant in demeanor. Even though her cultivation as a Path Immortal was withering, it was clearly also dissipating.

“It’s Second Senior Sister!” A True Immortal, recognizing her, couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.
