Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

However, this demon cultivator's sentiments were naturally incomprehensible to the cultivators of the Sword Temple. For Tan Shuchang seemed to have traveled through the Long River of time; his entire being was as if he had traversed the ancient Reincarnation Lands, and he was somewhat dazed.

Yet this time, there was a trace of difference from the previous three times.

For Tan Shuchang actually saw the future at this moment—in that future vision of the Element Five Realms, the Sword Temple had become a thing of the past, whereas Sword Apprentice Mountain stood out alone, gradually displaying the essence of the Ancestor of the Dao's true legacy.

Therefore, when this world truly became the Element Five Realms, Sword Apprentice Mountain chose to stand out and advance or retreat together with this world, opposing all outsiders.

And since Sword Apprentice Mountain was directly passed down by the Ancestor of the Dao, it naturally led other Immortal Sects to follow suit.

Thus, when the first "Immortal Clan Envoy" perished in this Element Five Realms, the future of the Element Five Realms...changed directly!

A new timeline emerged from the original trajectory of time.

...

At this time, the Ancestor Shi Xin, who was recuperating in the Ten Desolation Realm and waiting for the Banhu Realm to appear, suddenly showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"Traversing the Long River of time..."

"Changing the previously decided fate..."

"My fellow Daoist, you truly can bear it!" Ancestor Shi Xin said, referring to himself as "Old Dao" at this moment. However, as these words fell, his entire person directly transformed from an elderly image into a youthful appearance.

He appeared young, with extraordinary elegance, wearing a long robe that was white with gold accents, and beside him was a long sword that seemed to appear and disappear.

"Old Dao has painstakingly sought the Power of the Heavenly Authority for uncounted years, successfully integrating into another world, and then captured its allotted fate to nourish oneself. This method can enter the Banhu Realm, but it also owes all beings. Even if one can achieve the Dao through this, one cannot escape in the future, unless one can find another to succeed oneself..."

"However, with a Daoist friend traversing the Long River of time and leading out this completely new timeline, Old Dao's method of achieving the Dao can be changed!"

"After this, there will be neither Ancestor Shi Xin nor Shi Xin Demon!"

"Hahahaha!"

Shi Xin was obviously overjoyed at the moment, for this was truly an unexpected opportunity. An opportunity descended from heaven while one was sitting at home!

Therefore, he materialized himself and "turned" back the inverted Primordial Heavenly Realm.

The four Sky Pillars trembled slightly, but the entire Primordial Heavenly Realm did not shake in the slightest. And as the Primordial Heavenly Realm returned to its proper state, the time originally frozen by Shi Xin also resumed its normal course.

However, in the Ten Desolation Realm, the repaired fate, when evolving the Tenth Desolation, suddenly stopped.

But this did not mean that the "Banhu Realm" of the Ten Desolation Realm could no longer appear. Rather, the time of its emergence would be indefinitely postponed, until someone like Shi Xin could "change worlds" and integrate a world into the Ten Desolation Realm silently and in accordance with fate!

But without having gone through a "world-changing tribulation," personally experiencing the changes of the world, let alone discovering that the Land of Netherworld was originally the land of Immortals, one would be unable to take this step.

And the impact after the Primordial Heavenly Realm returned to its proper state was undoubtedly huge.

But there was not much commotion.

For as the four Sky Pillars appeared, the Lands of the Four Pillars also returned to their original state—East Gate Heavenly Pillar Land, Southern Gate Heavenly Pillar Land, Western Gate Heavenly Pillar Land, North Gate Heavenly Pillar Land—within each "territory," various creatures instantly returned!

The originally unexpectedly halted descent of True Immortals for tribulation naturally continued as before.

However, the various True Immortals who had been killed by a certain demon cultivator, such as the Qing Mu Immortal, the Ancestral True Immortal of the Immortal Clan, had not returned.

After all, they had entered the Blood Pool, sacrificed the lotus dais, and directly became a part of the Blood Pool.

At this time, in the "turned" back Primordial Heavenly Realm, that "good show" was still ongoing, one Heaven's Authority's True Immortal after another courageously attacked a hazy silhouette.

This hazy silhouette was knocked down time and again, but after each fall, it managed to rise once more.

And the Heaven's Authority's True Immortals who were slain by this hazy silhouette could only wait for the opportunity to return.

Nevertheless, despite this, these fallen Heaven's Authority's True Immortals were all invigorated, especially the Taoist Master of the Green Lotus Palace, for He took the Green Lotus Palace and stumbled the Ancestor of the Dao, which meant that the Ancestor of the Dao was not invincible!

Therefore, perhaps next time, they would succeed!

Every Heaven's Authority Righteous True Immortal thought so. However, precisely because of this, those Heaven's Authority True Immortals began to develop two kinds of thoughts.

The first kind was like that of Jie Ming True Immortal Master, who was very close to the realm of the Ancestor of the Dao, hence planned to immediately start gathering Heaven's Authority True Immortals upon their return to besiege the Ancestor of the Dao!

The second kind was those who had not long become Heaven's Authority Righteous True Immortals or had not traveled far on this path. These Heaven's Authority True Immortals all wanted to wait until they had cultivated to a higher level before joining together to besiege the Ancestor of the Dao, to prevent benefiting others at their own expense!

However, no matter which thought it was, it meant that from this moment on, there would be a period without True Immortals from the Primordial Heavenly Realm to the Land of the Four Pillars!

In the Primordial Heavenly Realm, within the Immortal Court, edicts began to be sent out.

These were already arranged by the four major True Immortal Masters to facilitate preparations with the Immortal Clan within the Immortal Court for their return, involving both the Heavenly Gang Righteous True Immortals and the Righteous True Immortals of Earthly Slaughter.

Especially the rites of life and death, which must be plentiful! They cannot be few!

However, since True Immortals are currently descending to face tribulation, the True Immortals of the Immortal Court would not descend to the mortal plane to prevent their power from being greatly diminished, with barely a tenth remaining.

Therefore, the ones currently in charge of this matter were still the cultivators of the Immortal Clan.

Hence, various unfathomable orders from the Immortal Clan began to be issued, baffling cultivators everywhere, including disciples from the thirty-six Taoist Palaces, who were all required to obey these strange regulations.

For example, in the Spirit Domain, any cultivator with exceptional aptitude must offer a stick of incense to the east every day, signifying that heaven and earth are both clear and bright.

Similarly, any cultivator who has practiced the Sword Dao must offer a drop of blood from the fingertip to light a Blood Sword Lamp as a sign of respect towards all True Immortals who have made advancements in their cultivation.

...

To Tan Shuchang, the Nangong Family was incredibly familiar.

After all, Sect Leader Nangong Tianshuang, who had led the entire Sect to ascend here, was a concubine-born daughter of this family's patriarch. Currently, relying on the family's power, Nangong Tianshuang's cultivation level had also become not low.

Though her progress was slow due to her limited talents, she had also attained longevity and was no longer constrained by a lifespan.

And now, after an experience that felt like traversing the Long River of time and the Reincarnation Lands, the place where Tan Shuchang found himself was a city governed by the Nangong Family.

Originally due to a misjudgment during a True Immortal's descent for tribulation, the people of the Nangong Family had already hidden themselves. But not long ago, as strange directives from the Immortal Clan were issued, the Nangong Family's people had to re-enter the world.

After all, even the thirty-six Taoist Palaces could only run errands for the Immortal Clan's cultivators. Which cultivating family could possibly withstand the Immortal Clan?

At this moment, the scene within the city looked somewhat odd to Tan Shuchang.

For inside the city, cultivators had to walk three steps forward and then two steps back, proceeding in this somewhat frustrating manner.

And so did those who could fly with Magic Artifacts.

First flying out a distance of thirty feet, and then retreating twenty feet!

Therefore, the normally advancing Tan Shuchang naturally attracted many gazes.

The cultivators in the city looked at Tan Shuchang with shock, as if they had seen something inconceivable.

When the world is abnormal, the one who is normal will surely be seen as an anomaly.

And anomalies are meant to be dealt with.

Soon after, disciples from the Taoist Palaces appeared.

As the most useful tools in the hands of the Immortal Clan, the disciples from the Taoist Palace naturally had to give their utmost to carry out every task ordered by the Immortal Clan.

"You've got some nerve! You dare to openly defy the edicts of the Immortal Clan, come with us!" the arriving Taoist Palace disciples shouted angrily, but in their eyes, there was a hint of relief.

Because at other times, even the Taoist Palace disciples had to abide by these peculiar regulations.
