Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

The Jianxia sect was divided into five mansions, with the upper mansion being the residing place for the cultivation of the Poet-Immortal Fairy. The commotion here also startled the Poet-Immortal Fairy.

She gazed toward Black Heart Mountain. Given her nearly a hundred years of cultivation proficiency, it was natural that she couldn't discern what was happening.

However, as the Jianxia sect had a long lineage and was a direct inheritor of the Ancestor of the Dao's teachings, the Poet-Immortal Fairy remembered that such anomalies were manifestations of cultivation proficiency that reached a world-shocking level.

"Could it be that the Heartless Old Man is not dead?"

"No, even if the Heartless Old Man were alive, he couldn't possibly have cultivated to such an extent!"

"Then it must be that disciple from Black Heart who killed his master. But he has only cultivated for a few years. Even if he obtained some worldly treasure, he wouldn't be able to assimilate it so quickly!"

Refining pills and various precious substances to enhance one's cultivation also required time and a specific realm of mastery. For instance, in the realm of the Sword Dao, the realm of the Sword Master of Heaven and Earth, one could suppress one's own cultivation proficiency of one hundred and ninety-nine years.

Once a Sword Cultivator broke through to such a level, and with enough treasures and time, one could enhance one's cultivation proficiency to such a degree in twenty years.

After that, the realm of the Sword Spirit of the universe was required to advance even further.

"Could it be that he retrieved his past life's Dao Fruit?" Suddenly, the Poet-Immortal Fairy thought of this possibility, but this made her confused once again. Because once such a reincarnated individual completed their reincarnation successfully, places like Luoja Mountain and the other Immortal Sects would be able to sense and find that individual.

Not to mention, if it really was a reincarnated individual opposing the Son of the Heavenly Mandate of the Immortal Sect, Su Huan'an would have drawn his sword and descended the mountain long ago.

Thus, after some thought, the Poet-Immortal Fairy simply decided to do a good turn. She first sent the message that Tan Shuchang had returned to Black Heart Mountain to those two who had come from the Supreme Clear Observatory and Western Tuo Mountain—as by now, the scene had already alarmed all quarters.

Then, she had someone send Tan Shuchang a message, which was a collection of information about Western Tuo Mountain's pass and the Supreme Clear Observatory's Lotus Tower gathered by generations of the Jianxia sect.

Under the Poet-Immortal Fairy, there were many strong warriors and heavenly maidens, so it wasn't long before Tan Shuchang received the message she had sent.

When he saw that it concerned the two great Immortal Sects, Tan Shuchang was inevitably puzzled. But soon enough, he understood the reason why the Poet-Immortal Fairy sent this message.

Most likely, the person who had previously suppressed his Calamity Witnessing Sword Qi was from these two great Immortal Sects, and now individuals from these sects were still searching for him.

Tan Shuchang had only just figured this out when he realized that the individuals from the two great Immortal Sects had already arrived.

One of them wore a Yin-Yang Daoist robe and was a young man.

The other was a little monk who appeared quite young.

Even though these two were still hundreds of miles away from Black Heart Mountain, the spiritual energy of the earth and sky had already projected their figures toward Tan Shuchang from afar.

This is the wondrous aspect of having more than two hundred years of cultivation proficiency!

So, when the young man wearing the Yin-Yang Daoist robe and the little monk Wu Xiu from Western Tuo Mountain arrived at Black Heart Mountain, Tan Shuchang was already standing in the void with his hands behind his back, facing away from them, looking as if he had been waiting for some time.

The young man in the Yin-Yang Daoist robe and the little monk Wu Xiu from Western Tuo Mountain were taken aback when they saw Tan Shuchang in such a stance.

They had already tried to greatly overestimate the abilities of this master of the contemporary Demon Sect, but they had not expected this master of the contemporary Demon Sect to possess such profound cultivation.

Therefore, the young man wearing the Yin-Yang Daoist robe took the initiative to speak, "May I ask if I am in the presence of the master of the contemporary Demon Sect?"

"Contemporary?"

Tan Shuchang savored the term thoroughly, then thought of that Demon Sect Master, and asked, "Fellow Daoist, how do you know I am the master of the Demon Sect?"

The heart and spirit of the demonic path's leader had been utterly lost, and he had even begun to contemplate defecting to the righteous path. After his staged death and escape, it was highly unlikely he would ever willingly reveal himself in his former identity.

Upon hearing Tan Shuchang ask such a question, the youth in the yin-yang Taoist robe immediately revealed a smile, then somewhat pridefully explained, "Since the old demon path leader lost his spirit, the demonic path has been almost non-existent in name and reality.

Especially since the ancestor had seen not long ago that the Demon Luo Heavenly Authority, which represents the demonic path, reignited the aspect of destiny after being dim for many years. This means that even if the demonic path does not flourish greatly, it has already given birth to an exceptional individual."

"Coincidentally, Tan Dao Friend's performance lately has been too astonishing, turning what was merely a stepping stone set by the Sword Mountain for the Son of the Heavenly Mandate into something that almost completely shattered the Son of the Heavenly Mandate's spirit. Therefore, the ancestor determined that the aspect of destiny of the demonic path has fallen on Tan Dao Friend!

Tan Dao Friend is the leader of the demonic path of this generation!"

"Demon Luo Heavenly Authority, the aspect of destiny…" Tan Shuchang was undoubtedly hearing these two terms for the first time.

"Amitabha, this humble monk Wu Xiu has met the contemporary lord of the demonic path. If the current lord of the demonic path is interested and unfamiliar with the Heavenly Authority and the aspect of destiny, you may follow this monk back to Western Tuo Mountain.

If only the lord of the demonic path is willing to cultivate in the pass of Western Tuo Mountain for ten years, whatever the lord of the demonic path needs, my brothers in the monastery would surely fetch for the lord," said the young monk Wu Xiu with his hands clasped together, thus addressing Tan Shuchang.

"You're inviting me to cultivate? But how come I've heard that once someone enters that pass, it is very hard to leave?" Tan Shuchang asked calmly. The information sent by the Fairy Poetess on that pass was described in only eight words: entry without exit, ten encounters with death, no life.

At least some escape from the Lotus Tower of the Supreme Clear Sect from time to time, but from the pass of Western Tuo Mountain, no one ever comes out.

"Amitabha, as the contemporary lord of the demonic path, you are naturally different, because this is not something this monk said on a whim, but what the ancestor has mentioned.

The current Jiawu Realm is not the time for the lord of the demonic path to appear, it is after ten years in the Jiawu Realm when it will become the lord of the demonic path's heaven and earth," explained the young monk Wu Xiu with his hands clasped together.

On this point, "Peach Gentleman Ascetic," who had been reduced to a puddle of pus and blood, was unintentionally in agreement with Western Tuo Mountain and the ancestors of the Supreme Clear Sect.

Tan Shuchang's strength, surpassing common sense, not only suppressed the Son of the Heavenly Mandate of this generation but also significantly impacted the demonic path under their control.

The demonic path can be strong, but it must serve as a stepping stone and the best assistance to the various sons of the heavenly mandate!

There was more than just Long Zhangyuan of Sword Mountain as the Son of the Heavenly Mandate, and Ning Shuqi, who held deep hatred against the Heavenly Sword Mansion, there was also a third who had yet to appear in the world.

However, the third one's strength was already the strongest among the Sons of the Heavenly Mandate.

Western Tuo Mountain revered him as the living Buddha's son and prepared eight beautiful maidservants, each with their special uses for him.

The master of the Supreme Clear Sect took him as a disciple on behalf of his teacher, imparted the "Supreme Clear Lotus Sutra" to him, and prepared a psychically responsive treasure, waiting only for him to come down the mountain to gain the recognition of that treasure.

Originally, this individual could also be considered outstanding in the world, but as "Tan Shuchang's Cultivation Diary" began to circulate and Tan Shuchang's name became known throughout the Jiawu Realm, both the Supreme Clear Sect and Western Tuo Mountain had to admit that a demon cultivator named Tan Shuchang truly seemed more like the Son of the Heavenly Mandate than the Sons themselves.

But unfortunately, without the luck of destiny or signs of the Heavens' favor, in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of becoming cannon fodder.

"Then please convey my gratitude for the kind offer from your sect's ancestor, but Tan Someone does not like to fast and chant scriptures," Tan Shuchang refused with a peaceful expression.

No matter the time or place, courtesy is essential.

Seeing this, the youth in the yin-yang Taoist robe said, "The ancestor said, if the contemporary lord of the demonic path is unwilling to go to the pass of Western Tuo Mountain, then you can come to our Lotus Tower of the Supreme Clear Sect and spend ten years in the company of my granduncles. "

At this point, the youth in the yin-yang Taoist robe slapped his forehead and added, "Speaking of which, among those granduncles, one of them was once a senior fellow disciple of Tan Dao Friend. I'm sure you won't feel bored or lonely when the time comes."

"Do you think you've got me cornered?" Tan Shuchang still showed no anger, merely inquiring calmly like this, although the two of them had been polite and given two options.

But there was no difference at all.

And this, it was their firm belief that they could certainly take him down!
