Chapter 495: 271, Henceforth No More Ghostly Way of Numbers (Part 2)
To create a new Immortal Technique without relying on the Spirit of Immortal Technique was far more difficult than Tan Shuchang had imagined. But his talent for cultivation was indeed as good as he believed. After applying the philosophy of "changing yet unchanged" along the transformations of mountains and seas, his own Immortal Technique without depending on the Spirit of Immortal Technique had indeed started to form a clue.
However, no matter how he tried afterward, he could not progress further to transform and elevate its power to the level of Immortal Techniques.
"What exactly is the essence of the Spirit of Immortal Techniques?"
Tan Shuchang fell into deep thought.
Without the Spirit of Immortal Techniques, the power of Immortal Techniques was almost equivalent to Divine Skills, not to mention the many variations in the Ultimate Realm.
"Unfortunately, my mentor is far away in the Ten Desolation Realm!"
Thinking of this, Tan Shuchang subconsciously thought of that Ancestor of the Dao.
And thinking of the Ancestor of the Dao, his thoughts began to diverge.
Within the Ten Desolation Realm, there are six beings equivalent to the Ancestor of the Dao, yet the True Immortals below the Six Ancient Ancestors have rather illusory strength.
Not only did they possess mere realm without depth, but this realm seemed discounted, and even their mighty powers did not belong to themselves.
The strength of each was reliant on the Immortal Treasures in their hands.
"Could it be because there are six beings equivalent to the Ancestor of the Dao that limitations are set on the True Immortals of the Ten Desolation Realm?" Tan Shuchang couldn't help but think this way.
In comparison, the True Immortals of the Ten Desolation Realm seemed too insubstantial. Yet, as a place that could birth six beings of the Ancestor Path Realm, this alone proved it to be an incredibly powerful world.
Thus, with such celestial creation, there shouldn't be True Immortals emerging who only rely on external objects, since those who became True Immortals generally possessed excellent qualifications and opportunities.
And since they had opportunities and qualifications, it was highly probable for them to self-cultivate mighty powers suitable to themselves.
Tan Shuchang never underestimated others and always believed that what he could achieve, others could certainly achieve as well.
At this moment, having comprehended the most suitable True Immortal power for himself, Tan Shuchang had succeeded.
It was exactly the transformation of mountains and seas with the philosophy of "changing yet unchanged."
Therefore, in Tan Shuchang's view, the reason why the True Immortals of the Ten Desolation Realm appeared in such a state was likely due to a subtle guidance by the six Ancient Immortal Ancestors.
When a powerful Immortal Treasure could cause one's strength to undergo a transformation, it led to those who became True Immortals pursuing the power of Immortal Treasures.
After all, compared to painstakingly gaining insights, crafting an Immortal Treasure was undoubtedly much easier.
Li Luoluo, the "Bone Immortal" Tan Shuchang met, was in such a situation. Although she did not possess a powerful Immortal Treasure at that time, she was already collecting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, preparing to craft one. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire
And the reason was none other than the existence of six beings equivalent to the Ancestor of the Dao.
The principle that three monks have no water to drink applied here quite suitably.
None of the six Ancient Immortal Ancestors wanted a seventh one to emerge, yet they all had mutual wariness, thus creating such a True Immortal system.
The Immortal Treasures were primary; cultivation was merely used to mobilize the Immortal Treasures.
"Immortal rank, Immortal Techniques, could they also be similar means?" Tan Shuchang thought pensively. Although the True Immortal cultivation here was not just "a stripe of blue," since it represented a blending of one's efforts with the universe, wasn't it like the True Immortals of the Ten Desolation Realm?
There, Immortal Treasures took precedence; here, Immortal Techniques were primary! A single offensive Immortal Technique could make a newly condensed Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit True Immortal, even a Heavenly Gang Orthodox True Immortal, not dare to undervalue it.
"Rumors say that the Ancestor of the Dao blocked everyone's path. This saying may be true, but it's certainly not just because he occupied the position at Heaven's Authority's Extreme. Perhaps... even if the Ancestor of the Dao left the Primordial Heavenly Realm, none of those Celestial Master True Immortals could break through." Tan Shuchang's gaze flickered slightly.
This was just his speculation, with no basis at all, but he believed this was the real reason those Celestial Master True Immortals could never break through.
Those Celestial Master True Immortals, wanting to break through, must first abandon their Immortal rank, Immortal Techniques!
"This point, I can think of, these fellow cultivators should be able to think of too..." Tan Shuchang suddenly realized this point. Then an idea unconsciously formed in his mind—could it be that after cultivating into Heaven's Authority's Righteous Law Dao Fruit, one could not separate oneself from the Immortal rank anymore?
In that moment, the light in Tan Shuchang's eyes grew even more intense.
And about the time of one cup of tea later, Tan Shuchang made his decision.
To cut through a tangled knot, use a swift blade!
Hesitate not, or else suffer disorder.
Thus, without hesitation, Tan Shuchang revisited the sensation of transcending the time of the Long River he had felt before, trying to see if he could use it to deduce a powerful secret technique for separating his Immortal rank from himself.
But after reviewing it several times, a strange yet familiar sensation emerged from within him, then he once again sensed the power to transcend the time of the Long River.
In a trance, he even heard the sound of the wheel of reincarnation turning by his ears.
In his eyes, various past figures emerged occasionally, even including the Dream Fairy explaining an ancient secret of reincarnation.
"This is the original reincarnation, the true reincarnation, the normal path of reincarnation before Shi Xin Demon cursed heaven and earth. However, when Shi Xin Demon's curse evolved the heavenly laws, heaven was no longer heaven, earth was no longer earth, naturally reincarnation was also no longer reincarnation..."
After this voice fell, a voice like that of Daoist Shi Xin sounded, but what exactly Shi Xin said, Tan Shuchang could not hear clearly at all.
