Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 486: 267, ‘Top rank’ arrived, but no reward was given

Inside Tianchang Palace, no one noticed when a layer of invisible haze began to appear, causing all the True Immortals of Tianchang Palace to be seized with a sense of unease.

Because the Second Senior Sister, Feng He, had died.

Amongst Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang’s disciples, in terms of closeness to their master, Heavenly Sword, who ranked first, merely relied on his origins bearing some connection to Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang.

Thus, every disciple who was able to enter Tianchang Palace clearly understood one thing—that Second Senior Sister Feng He was Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang’s most beloved disciple.

Even those ranking third, Long Yin, and fourth, Chi Qi, were nowhere near as favored as Second Senior Sister Feng He.

After all, to surpass and enter the tenth reincarnation earlier than Heavenly Sword showed just how much favor she usually received from Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang.

But now, Second Senior Sister Feng He had actually died!

Moreover, after Feng He’s death, there wasn’t even a word spoken about allowing the other disciples to lead her into the sect.

How could this not cause the other disciples to panic?

Fortunately, following that event, there were no more disciples who were “publicly judged,” and that sense of unease gradually subsided.

Tan Shuchang had witnessed two Path Immortals turning into mere shadows after a bitter cultivation, and on the surface, like other disciples, he too showed a trace of unease. But deep within, he keenly realized that the death of his fellow Heavenly Sword and Senior Sister Feng He might be greatly related to him.

He had learned his master’s true name, and thus realized that he would inevitably have to fight his master one day.

Only one of the two could survive.

And now, even though his master was yet unaware of his true identity, his master’s realm of cultivation was absolutely capable of producing some form of premonition regarding this matter.

Thus, there was the disappearance of Heavenly Sword, the elder brother, and the death of Feng He, the second sister.

After all, these two were closest to their master’s level of cultivation!

“This is not good…”

Although currently undiscovered, this was certainly not good news for Tan Shuchang, because even if he remained undetected, when he approached that realm, his master would have to take action against him!

Instantly, Tan Shuchang found himself reminiscing about Black Heart Mountain.

Back then, it was the same situation. Even if he did not move against the Old Man of the Black Heart, his master would strike against him.

For a moment, Tan Shuchang could empathize with the feelings of “Miss Alu.” Though the challenges she faced were surely less severe than his, merely being restricted from advancing due to her master’s immortality, yet the gap in cultivation between her and her master was somewhat similar to Tan Shuchang’s current situation.

“To slay one’s master, it seems truly to be a necessary path for a demonic cultivator…” Tan Shuchang could not help but sigh. Then his gaze hardened, “In that case, I cannot remain in the Ten Desolation Realm any longer.”

Without hesitation, he left Tianchang Palace and headed towards the region beyond the precipice.

He wanted to attempt to return the Land of the Four Pillars to its former state! If feasible, then with the barriers between two realms, he could be carefree from this point on!

Even if he still had to confront his master, he could wait until after cultivating to the Ancestor Path Realm.

Struggling across realms was too disadvantageous.

But if at the same realm, even if not victorious, one could still retreat unscathed!

Tan Shuchang was heading for that vortex.

Yet this time, for some unknown reason, no matter how he rushed, he was always a great distance from that vortex.

Therefore, Tan Shuchang had no choice but to stop.

“There are no traces of someone casting spells in secret, so what could be the reason?” Tan Shuchang was puzzled; he couldn’t understand why he was unable to approach it as easily as he had last time, to investigate thoroughly.

Luckily, since he had assimilated several True Immortals from the vortex last time, he could still make a rough observation even if he couldn’t go over.

Right away, he started to use his powerful mana to establish a connection.

However, once he initiated the connection, Tan Shuchang noticed problems.

“They have all dissipated…”

This left Tan Shuchang somewhat baffled for a moment, unable to approach the vortex and now the few True Immortals he had assimilated had also vanished without a trace.

“Is this vortex about to undergo some change?” Pondering this thought, Tan Shuchang went to find Li Luoluo.

The White Bone Fairy from the Immortal Islands was still in the region beyond the precipice.

She still hadn’t assimilated Tan Shuchang’s gift, the Immortal Treasure Gourd.

After all, her level of cultivation placed her among those not yet ascended in the Land of the Four Pillars. When Tan Shuchang had yet to ascend and desired to assimilate an Immortal Treasure, it had taken him no little time, not to mention Li Luoluo, whose cultivation system slightly differed.

It would take her at least a thousand times longer than Tan Shuchang had needed to assimilate that Immortal Treasure Gourd.

“Master!”

Upon seeing Tan Shuchang, Li Luoluo was naturally overjoyed.

Tan Shuchang acknowledged her with a nod, then proceeded to inquire about the vortex. However, after Tan Shuchang finished explaining, Li Luoluo was completely unaware just like before.

So, Tan Shuchang had to follow what Li Luoluo suggested and seek out a few “powerful Immortals” beyond the precipice for information.

These Immortals possessed “far” greater strength than Li Luoluo.

Because they had offended individuals from some major forces, they had no choice but to hide in the region beyond the precipice.

Tan Shuchang gained some knowledge about various things from these Immortals, but as for the vortex, their information was essentially the same as Li Luoluo’s.

And as for recent changes in the vortex, they were utterly ignorant.
