Chapter 506: 276, Supplement the Missing Celestial Numbers (Part 1)_2
"If the Candle Silk I tamed in Shenxu Heaven could be as big as the sky, I could have also reached this step..."
"But even if the Candle Silk had achieved the Dao Fruit of Heaven's Authority's Righteous Law, it couldn't be this huge!"
This world was not small. Although Tan Shuchang could not sense the borders of heaven and earth at this moment, he was, after all, a True Immortal who had achieved the Heavenly Gang Righteous Law Fruits, and so he could faintly perceive that this world might be far larger than the Land of the Four Pillars.
"Such a vast world, could the sky actually be the transformation of some incredibly large creature?"
Tan Shuchang was astonished, yet he also confirmed that the source of the oppression that weighed heavily on him was not this entity that had transformed into the sky.
The oppressive power should be above this creature.
This caused Tan Shuchang to frown slightly.
However, a moment later, his brows relaxed, "First, I need to find a place to try and resolve these chains."
So, Tan Shuchang directly extricated himself from the void.
And as he left the void, he immediately took human form at the first chance.
Normally, with Tan Shuchang's cultivation, taking human form wouldn't cause any disturbance, but at this moment, the gathering of heavy yin clouds followed, and streaks of blood lightning began to emerge incessantly.
In an instant, the world was filled with astonishing phenomenons!
And with the appearance of these phenomenons, Tan Shuchang's Heavenly Gang Righteous Law Fruits were directly sealed.
However, Tan Shuchang did not panic.
Because of the wrongness of this world and the existence of those chains, he had already mentally prepared for this.
Therefore, Tan Shuchang felt an unexpected joy at this moment.
It turned out that after his Dao Fruit was sealed, Tan Shuchang discovered that the Immortal Technique he had created was not affected.
Moreover, the chains had been continuously draining his Dao cultivation. But after his Dao Fruit was sealed, the chains no longer sapped his Dao cultivation.
These two facts combined were undoubtedly good news.
The former meant that Tan Shuchang's peak power from the Immortal Path was still intact, while the latter implied that, even if the chains were insoluble, they still had to follow some fundamental rules.
"Does the person behind these chains intend to suppress me below that of a True Immortal to achieve some purpose?" Tan Shuchang thought to himself.
He was a bit of an anomaly, but he started off quite ordinary.
Even attempting to manifest the Undying Blood Form had left him greatly weakened in his Yuan Qi. His achievements today were thanks to his mutual pursuit with the "count" of the ghostly path of heaven.
After the count of the ghostly path had dissipated and cast a wide net, it ultimately settled on Tan Shuchang.
Tan Shuchang had also used the ghostly path's count to take control and make the Blood Pool truly become his accompanying object.
Despite his current extraordinary nature, at his core, Tan Shuchang was still very ordinary. Hence, he was somewhat puzzled—what was the purpose behind him being forcibly taken away by the chains?
The existence behind the yin clouds and the conversation with the Ancestor of the Dao were only heard by the two, unknown to any other creatures.
Only because Tan Shuchang was the one pierced by the eighty-one chains was he faintly able to guess that it was the Ancestor of the Dao who had helped him sever eighty of them.
Moments later, with a slight shake of his head, Tan Shuchang found a deserted mountain peak and hid within.
His Immortal cultivation power might have been suppressed, but the Immortal Technique that was so adaptable was still at his disposal. Although this was just one technique, its core was infinite change, making its power varied and versatile.
This technique was the exact opposite of One Power Breaks All Laws.
It was One Technique Transforms All Techniques!
The mountain Tan Shuchang currently resided on was a typical deep forest scene. In addition to wild beasts, there were also some ghostly creatures that Tan Shuchang had never seen before.
This place was undoubtedly full of miasma and scarce in spiritual energy, not suitable for mortals to settle and recuperate or for cultivators to retreat and cultivate in solitude.
However, Tan Shuchang casually used his Immortal Technique to alter the feng shui of the place.
The miasma turned into rolling vapors, rising into the clouds, and while the sparse spiritual energy did not improve, the place gained a bit more spirit.
Before achieving immortality, one was at the mercy of the environment.
After becoming immortal, naturally, the environment adapted to one.
Wherever a True Immortal resided, they could transform the area with tremendous Immortal Power into an Immortal Blessed Land.
If one were a True Immortal and still had to chase after Spiritual Mountain Treasure Lands like ordinary cultivators, then their status as a True Immortal would be rather questionable.
As Tan Shuchang settled in this place, the simple aggregation of spirit that had come about made this place birth many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
For instance, a ginseng that had only grown for several decades suddenly became climatic, capable of moving and walking underground.
Tan Shuchang had resided in this place for more than ten days, and the uninhabited mountain peak seemed as if it had undergone thousands of years of spiritual evolution, with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures everywhere.
What is True Immortal creation?
This is it.
However, compared to the thriving vitality of this region, full of the essence of life, Tan Shuchang's brow was slightly furrowed.

Because he still couldn't do anything about that chain.
The only certainty was, as long as he didn't try to restore his Immortal cultivation, the chain wouldn't torment him.
"It's a pity I can't contact Daoist Shi Xin..."
Tan Shuchang couldn't help but sigh.
Such a matter, if only he could ask the Ancestor of the Dao, there's no doubt the answer would be clear. But now, the biggest problem was that he couldn't contact not just his Daoist Shi Xin, but even the "Minor Immortal Realm," which had become his second shell.
However, Tan Shuchang was not someone who gave up easily.
He continued to try.
Unlike before, this time he adopted the mindset of a last-ditch effort, testing every possible means on his body that could be used to establish contact.
And then, Tan Shuchang indeed found something that could make contact.
Its appearance, however, made him somewhat astonished and uncertain.
It was a flattish, pill-shaped Magic Artifact.
It was the very communication artifact that Dongdong had given him over thirty years ago.
Yet it was this artifact, which he only tried to stimulate, and to his surprise, it worked!
"Your carefree Heaven's Authority's Immortal Banquet has ended, and as you said, all the treasures were taken away by them," a slightly mushy little voice quickly transmitted from the artifact.
Dongdong didn't know that Tan Shuchang's Cultivation had succeeded and that he had descended to the Land of the Four Pillars to drain the Blood Spring, so she thought he was in seclusion.
After all, a True Immortal's seclusion could easily last thousands of years.
And Tan Shuchang contacting her in such a short span of time, Dongdong naturally thought that way, assuming that this demonic cultivator wanted to inquire about the carefree Heaven's Authority's Immortal Banquet, so she briefly recounted what had happened at the banquet.
Hearing Dongdong speak, Tan Shuchang wanted to ask her to find the Ancestor of the Dao because the Ancestor of the Dao's Cultivation ground in the Heavenly Pillar Land was no secret.
It's just that without the Ancestor of the Dao's permission, one couldn't see him.
However, before he could speak, the thought had already been forcefully suppressed by Tan Shuchang.
Because he suddenly realized something: the artifact was actually strengthened by his Daoist Shi Xin casually, but most likely it hadn't been enhanced to its present extent, so if nothing went wrong, it must have been his Daoist Shi Xin who secretly enhanced it again when he was taken away by the chains.
So what was it that made someone as powerful as his Daoist Shi Xin resort to such secret contact rather than informing him directly?
In that instant, even though the Ancestor of the Dao didn't leave any message, Tan Shuchang guessed much.
After all, he had been to the Ten Desolations and knew there were higher realms.
He also knew that there were at least six other beings like his Daoist Shi Xin.
But that was just the limited extent of his knowledge.
Just as one in the countryside rarely sees the wealthy; yet in towns, the wealthy are common; and if one visits the capital, not just the wealthy, but even high officials are easy to encounter.
Similarly, back when he hadn't reached a hundred years of Cultivation, meeting others with ninety years of cultivation power was hard; but after he himself had a hundred years of power, he realized there were many such cultivators in the world.
It wasn't that the number of century-old cultivators had suddenly increased, but rather that the former him had not been able to meet such figures!
"Above the Ancient Immortal Ancestors?"
An idea like this suddenly surfaced in Tan Shuchang's mind.
Only a being of a higher realm of existence could make someone at Heaven's Authority's Extreme so wary.
Consequently, Tan Shuchang observed the Magic Artifact carefully.
But regrettably, he found no information. And since Tan Shuchang had been silent for a while, Dongdong spoke up again, "I just ate that peach that hit me, didn't eat anything else..."
As she said this, the mushy little voice seemed somewhat guilty.
"If you can eat, it's fine to eat more," Tan Shuchang responded, and as he spoke, a piece of information from the artifact directly entered his mind.
