Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Tan Shuchang had been practicing cultivation for thirty-three years.

After many years, the disciples of the Taoist Palace had not lost sight of their original intentions, which was commendable.

However, such unwavering focus on their original purpose could also be quite problematic.

Therefore, I rejected the invitations from these Taoist Palace fellows and did not join them on their journey, instead leaving them all behind.

...

"The last time I encountered disciples of the Taoist Palace as brave as this was... the last time."

Tan Shuchang was deeply moved.

Soon after he had arrived in the Land of the Four Pillars, he had quarreled with the disciples of the Silver Dragon Dao Palace, and now, returning after so long, it did not take much time before he was at odds with the Taoist Palace disciples again.

And this time, it happened even faster than before!

It could only be said that the disciples of the Taoist Palace were indeed raised by the Immortal Clan, as they even dared to provoke a Heavenly Gang Orthodox True Immortal!

This was far more daring than he ever was.

At least, before he had become an immortal, he would never have dared to offend a Heavenly Gang Orthodox True Immortal—at most, only a Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter.

"But it's surprising that even these Taoist Palace disciples are unaware of why the Immortal Clan would establish these peculiar rules..." Tan Shuchang thought for a moment and then decided to abolish these strange rules.

Because through the memories of these Taoist Palace disciples, he had come to know that the twelve years he had lived through did not exist in the memories of the creatures of the Land of the Four Pillars.

Thus, the rules that had suddenly appeared, undoubtedly set by the Immortal Clan, were certainly to their benefit.

And what was to the benefit of the Immortal Clan was to his detriment!

After all, he had solicited the help of many Ancestral True Immortals belonging to the Immortal Clan for his own cultivation. It seemed that, given the opportunity, these Immortal Clan members would surely seek revenge against him.

Never underestimating anyone in the world, Tan Shuchang, even having become a Heavenly Gang Orthodox True Immortal, decided to take precautions against potential dangers.

After all, he had just found out.

If he had remained ignorant, then that would have been the end of it. But now that he knew, how could he simply ignore it?

Caution was something Tan Shuchang never lacked.

Unless one day he achieved the rank of Heaven's Authority's Extreme, only then might he set aside this cautious heart.

In the realm of the Nangong Family, known as the Spirit Domain, there were three peculiar rules. Aside from that bizarre 'two steps forward, two steps back' rule, there was also the regulation requiring a stick of incense to be burned towards the east every dawn, and that sword cultivators must offer their fingertip blood to the Blood Sword Lamp.

These three peculiar rules divided the entire Spirit Domain.

Within the Spirit Domain, there were mortal nations, Sacred Gates, and cultivation families. Yet no matter what power they belonged to, all were divided by these three strange rules.

It was as if they had turned into some sort of cultivation resources.

Tan Shuchang Li, standing in the void, was surrounded by brilliant light, with a multicolored cloud qi covering the sky and spreading endlessly in a magnificent glow.

Although the title of "Holy Sect Demon Lord" still presented some hindrances, the Heavenly Gang Righteous Law Fruits had regained their original state, and the eleven Immortal Techniques could now be used normally. So now, with just a slight operation of the "Immortal Scripture," a boundless aura of authority enveloped the entire Spirit Domain.

As for the other regions outside of the Spirit Domain, Tan Shuchang left them untouched, even using an Immortal Technique to isolate the phenomena occurring there.

"After becoming an immortal, Tan here, considering the many hardships people endure in their cultivation, has decided to impart teachings here."

The voice of Tan Shuchang resonated,

It was very gentle and made everyone who heard it feel as if they were basking in the spring breeze.

After all, to attract attention immediately, a pleasant voice was essential. Just like love at first sight often actually arises from a physical attraction.

At this moment, those who heard Tan Shuchang's words were taken aback, but then they immediately became excited.

A True Immortal imparting teachings!

In the Land of the Four Pillars, this was not an uncommon occurrence. However, to listen to a True Immortal impart teachings, one had to be somebody with a worthy background.

As for talent and aptitude, those factors came trailing behind.

How could the cultivators in this Spirit Domain not be thrilled?

In an instant, cultivators who had been busy with their own activities all stopped what they were doing. While some Taoist Palace disciples wanted to show their loyalty, they were immobilized on the spot as soon as they made a move.

As for the members of the Immortal Clan within the Spirit Domain, Tan Shuchang took care of them right away.

After sensing the entire Spirit Domain to ensure all cultivators could hear his teaching, Tan Shuchang began to speak.

"I have practiced cultivation for thirty-three years..."

Unlike other True Immortals whose teachings were mystical and cryptic, requiring personal interpretation, Tan Shuchang's teachings always used the simplest language.

At this moment, he was using his own cultivation experience as the content of his teachings.

"It took me twenty-one years to achieve immortality. As I had no support on the path to immortality, my initial cultivation proceeded very slowly. Later, it took me another twelve years to complete the path of the Earth Fiend Orthodox Law, and due to some special chances, I transformed what would have taken ten years into ten breaths, successfully elevating my Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit into the Heavenly Gang Righteous Law Fruits."

"After so many years of cultivation to achieve these modest accomplishments, I am quite ashamed. However, after all these years, I have indeed reaped many rewards."

"After all, I did ultimately become an immortal. If you said I was as unworthy as a rotten piece of wood and incapable of being shaped, I would be somewhat unconvinced."

"I remember, in the third year of my cultivation, I encountered an incident. Somehow, the diary I kept during my practice was leaked."
