Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Tan Shuchang never dared to underestimate the people of the world, and naturally, he would not belittle any cultivation system, no matter its obvious shortcomings. Because like people, every system has its merits. Such was the case with the cultivation system that enabled one to become a strange existence. Not only was the cultivation technique specially propagated by Jinjin Wansheng Temple to cultivate demon and monster servants like this, but so was the technique practiced by the monks within the temple. For example, the Golden Body Arhat technique, when cultivated to its ultimate stage, would strip the cultivator of all flesh and blood, transforming the entire being as if cast from gold. However, compared to the techniques propagated by the Jinjin Wansheng Temple, the main techniques practiced within the temple undoubtedly did not adhere to as many precepts and even offered methods of redemption after breaking them. What puzzled Tan Shuchang was that whether it was the cultivation technique of Jinjin Wansheng Temple or those of other major forces in the fourth layer of the world, although they all mentioned karmic hindrances and expressed fear of them, why they were so fearful of these hindrances remained unclear to any major force! It was like the wolf Tan Shuchang had encountered before, which, after becoming a demon and consuming humans, was shrouded in karmic hindrances and filled with unease. Yet the outcome for this wolf, whether it was entangled with karmic hindrances or not, was the same. After death, it would fall into the fifth layer of the world. It was clearly a matter easy to realize, yet until Tan Shuchang pointed it out, the wolf seemed never to have grasped it. Initially, Tan Shuchang thought it might be the bystander's clarity, but now, after visiting several dominant forces in the fourth layer and perusing their precious scriptures, he realized it was not the case. "So, what exactly are they afraid of?" Tan Shuchang felt this was key, but he couldn't see why. Therefore, he had to continue his visits. Then, Tan Shuchang learned that the fourth layer was not without cultivators who had reached the level of True Immortal. However, not long ago, an incredible secret realm had emerged, attracting all cultivators of a certain level. At that moment, thousands of divine presences soared into the sky, manifesting their own signs. There was first a Golden Body Arhat thousands of feet tall, standing between heaven and earth, his roar shaking the boundless void, causing the secret realm to break through space. Then, a powerful cultivator with dragon-claw hands and a humanoid dragon's head violently tore open the seal of that secret realm, revealing its mysteries to the world! Thus, these powerful cultivators swarmed in. There were also some cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but once those powerful ones had entered, the entrance to the secret realm closed again, having lost that "tearing force." This left many cultivators clutching their arms in regret, their faces full of remorse. They hated themselves for not being fast enough! "Isn't this a bit coincidental?" Tan Shuchang thought contemplatively. It just so happened that when he was brought here, an unparalleled secret realm capable of gathering all the strong cultivators of the realm had appeared. Had it not been for the shackles sealing his True Immortal Dao Fruit, Tan Shuchang wouldn't have considered this. After all, he never saw himself as the protagonist of this world. But just as his Dao Fruit was sealed, and if it weren't for his self-created Only Easy Not Easy Immortal Technique, his strength at this moment would certainly have fallen below the Immortal Realm. In this way, the fourth layer, also devoid of Immortal Realm cultivators, became a world that, although dangerous, would not be fatal as long as one was cautious! "The name Blood Immortal is not to be taken lightly..." Tan Shuchang pondered deeply, he had even inquired about the secret realm, therefore he was naturally clear about the affair of the Blood Immortal. Although his consciousness was muddled at the time, in a state of limitless and boundless Dao, he had caused six Immortal Realm cultivators of the fourth layer to fall on the spot, barely surviving through their incarnations. Hence, cultivators of the fourth layer exceedingly dreaded the "Blood Immortal." Once they knew he had departed, they would certainly search for him at all costs, and then, at that time, he would be making an enemy of the entire world. "If I did not have my self-created Only Easy Not Easy Immortal Technique, facing such a situation would indeed be akin to a gambit of nine deaths and one life..." As Tan Shuchang thought about this, he felt a great "scheme" rising before him. For the opponents wanted not his life. But to transform him into the second layer of the heavens! So, looking at all these schemes, it seemed they wanted to "tame" him before they helped him cultivate to Heaven's Authority's Extreme. "What shall I do then?" Tan Shuchang immersed himself in deep thought, but in less than three breaths, the demonic cultivator gave up on the thought. Because he genuinely couldn't act. Back in the Tan Family, he wasn't acting: he had merely learned to keep quiet and feign ignorance. "Seems like this resource isn't easy to get..." Tan Shuchang sighed. But indeed, how challenging was Heaven's Authority's Extreme, seeking such a resource without ensuring they had already "tamed" him was absolutely impossible. Hence, Tan Shuchang began to think about the possibility of escape. This wasn't because the Ancestor of the Dao Shi Xin had left him relevant information, but because he remembered, as "Mr. Chun" last descended, instructing him to assume his position back in the Ghostly Path of Heaven, or else he would face a great calamity. Back then, Tan Shuchang naturally did not understand, but now, he suddenly realized that what "Mr. Chun" spoke of, the unavoidable great calamity, might just be his current predicament.
