Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

The strength of Sword Disciple Mountain couldn't be compared to such formidable forces.

It could only be said that this was like the invisible power within the mundane dynasties. The Ancestor of the Dao had never spoken or appeared openly, but who dared not give Sword Disciple Mountain some respect due to his name?

Thus came the prestigious name of the orthodox Sword Immortal!

After all, the ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain, whose strength wasn't much in the Land of the Four Pillars, truly possessed the "Absolute Immortal Sword Tome" which justified their reputation.

At that time on Sword Disciple Mountain, there were numerous disciples cultivating on the mountain.

These ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain had recruited these disciples from various small and large mundane dynasties near South Gate Pillar. In total, there were three hundred disciples.

Each disciple who came to pay their respects and seek guidance brought with them a continuous supply of cultivation resources.

Because these disciples, within their own countries, were individuals of no ordinary status. They were either children of nobles and high-ranking officials or young members of cultivating families.

All of them were drawn by the "Absolute Immortal Sword Tome".

Originally, in the Jiawu Realm, only the sect leader could cultivate this portion of the Heavenly Power Treasured Tome. These ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain could be said to have been sect leaders once, which allowed them to cultivate the "Absolute Immortal Sword Tome".

Back then, when Tan Shuchang jokingly asked the elder from Sword Disciple Mountain who had come to kill him if he could cultivate this "Absolute Immortal Sword Tome", he was told that he needed the approval of the Absolute Immortal Sword itself.

However, in reality, that was a lie.

The Absolute Immortal Sword didn't possess a Sword Spirit at all.

The so-called approval, and the necessity of being the sect leader for cultivation, were just means to limit the number of people who could practice this Heavenly Power Treasured Tome.

The main purpose was to highlight the uniqueness and exclusivity of the sect leader.

Because here in the Land of the Four Pillars, there was no need to emphasize this anymore, so these ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain, who had disciples bringing resources with them, imparted the "Absolute Immortal Sword Tome".

Being the introductory chapter to "Four Annihilation Dao Sword" created by the Ancestor of the Dao, the "Absolute Immortal Sword Tome" was naturally extraordinary. Therefore, when that beautiful woman from Yimu Immortal City arrived at Sword Disciple Mountain, she saw the unending solemn Sword Qi covering the mountain.

It was only because her cultivation was profound. Otherwise, any cultivator who faced this Sword Qi would feel as if their entire being was locked by a terrifying force.

This beautiful woman glanced at these disciples of Sword Disciple Mountain, without any intention of speaking to them, she stood in the void, and a white lotus slowly unfolded around her.

As the petals of this white lotus fully bloomed, a pathway from the Land of Yin and Darkness unexpectedly appeared right there.

Then, the beautiful woman spoke softly, "Is Gu Xuanyi there?"

As her voice fell, a figure surrounded by a dark aura appeared somewhat bewilderedly on the path. Seeing the beautiful woman, Gu Xuanyi immediately looked shocked, "Lotus Moon Fairy?"

The name of this beautiful woman was quite significant in the Land of the Four Pillars!

Because she was originally a spirit wood destined to seize the creation of heaven and earth, but she accidentally got contaminated by the Blood Spring, transforming into a Blood Moon Demon Lotus.

When the petals of the lotus bloomed, the living died, the dead returned, yin and yang reversed, life and death overturned.

When Lotus Moon Fairy saw Gu Xuanyi, she merely nodded slightly and then continued calling out names.

As she named each ancestor of Sword Disciple Mountain, figures carrying dark auras, each Soul Proofs of the third order, appeared on this pathway.

After calling out all names of the ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain, Lotus Moon Fairy then expressed her purpose, "My master, Greenwood Immortal, sensing the difficulty of your cultivations, commanded me to come and guide your reincarnations. I wonder, dear friends, do you have any desired destinations in mind? If not, I can make arrangements for you."

"We had never thought about this matter, so please, Lotus Moon Fairy, take care of it!" Gu Xuanyi said with a clasped fist.

In fact, they were prepared, but this time, having descended to the Lower Realm, they had lost all their magical treasures and only had their Dao Fruits left. Therefore, rather than stubbornly trying to manage reincarnation on their own, they preferred to let go of their pride and have Lotus Moon Fairy arrange it.

After all, the name of Lotus Moon Fairy being skilled at this task had long been circulating in the Land of the Four Pillars.

There were even rumors that a True Immortal from Primordial Heavenly Realm had specifically come and asked Lotus Moon Fairy to help his disciple with the process of reincarnation and return.

It was precisely because she was fed up with such matters that the Lotus Moon Fairy took a disciple under Qingmu High Immortal of Yimu Immortal City.

However, after becoming a disciple, she had her destiny extracted by Qingmu High Immortal, which is why, although she could have become an immortal long ago, she still hasn't managed to master the Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law.

Becoming a disciple always comes at a price.

For the disciples of Sword Disciple Mountain, their price is to provide a fixed quota of tributes and to exert their utmost in the struggles involving Sword Disciple Mountain.

After taking a disciple, a master caring for them like a father, preparing cultivation techniques and magical treasures for the disciple, is very rare in this Land of the Four Pillars.

As for getting any benefits from fellow disciples or senior sect members after taking a discipleship, that's pure fantasy.

In this place, the tradition is that newcomers must first offer tributes to those who arrived before them.

Thus, in this Land of the Four Pillars, cultivators of average means have no right to enter the sects.

...

Jiawu Realm.

Tan Shuchang was forced to revert to his human form because the Secluded Spring Blood Demon had already successfully escaped.

"The Secluded Spring Blood Demon truly lives up to his reputation!"

He couldn't help but exclaim; such inherently privileged beings really defy logic. Even the Son of the Heavenly Mandate, who is dead, still receives the protection of heaven and earth, making the Secluded Spring Blood Demon even more outrageous, absolutely unkillable.

No wonder those True Immortals from the Primordial Heavenly Realm would cross realms to hunt him down.

Then, Tan Shuchang turned to Dongdong who was standing nearby with an expressionless face, seeming to be lost in thought, and said, "You see, the real Secluded Spring Blood Demon is indeed terrifying! He was even able to escape from my grasp!"
Stay updated through empire

His intention was to make this young girl flee at the mention of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon in the future, instead of foolishly trying to slay demons and eliminate devils.

However, to this young girl, his words inevitably sounded like a praise of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon's power, primarily meant to make himself appear more formidable.

So, with an emotionless face, Dongdong gave Tan Shuchang a cold glance.

"I used all my tricks, and only barely managed to leave half of his blood body behind. Given the Secluded Spring Blood Demon's recovery speed, he will probably be fully restored in at most ten years; you'll need to be careful then," Tan Shuchang also shot her a glance, frustrated that she was still rolling her eyes.

"Don't I have you?" Dongdong said, perplexed.

"I've found a method to ascend to the Land of the Four Pillars," Tan Shuchang stated, then infused into the young girl's mind everything he knew about the Land of the Four Pillars through a method of shared perception.

Afterward, the immensely shocked Dongdong couldn't help but ask, "Your method of ascension wouldn't involve slaying these ancestors, would it?"

"The more I slay, the greater the benefits I will gain when I ascend," Tan Shuchang admitted.

Hearing this, Dongdong's face instantly expressed serious contemplation.

Soon, the young girl suggested, "We could lure the ancestors of Luoja Mountain and other Immortal Sects to come forward voluntarily. Although I don't know how you managed to lure down the ancestors of Upper Pure Monastery, Sword Disciple Mountain, and Western Tuo Mountain, we could use the same bait to lure them again."

"I've considered that, but I'm worried they might communicate with each other," Tan Shuchang explained, adding that it was an unexpected joy to have directly lured three sect's ancestors.

He initially thought only about ten would come down.

"I don't think so. Based on your descriptions, the power levels of these ancestors are clearly not on the same level. Strong beings never proactively share information with the weaker ones! Conveniently, the first to descend were undoubtedly from the stronger group," Dongdong confidently articulated.

"Moreover, the Land of the Four Pillars is so vast; how could they possibly ascend to the same place? The demand for cultivation resources among three-evidence cultivators is huge,"

Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang nodded approvingly.

He couldn't help reflecting internally—such a family-born Demon Cultivator really has a ruthless heart!
