Chapter 263: 164. Demon Luo Heavenly Authority's blessings, righteous path? Demonic path?_2
They had no opportunity to utilize the foundation of their Three Certifications.
Now, these ancestors finally had the chance to make full use of their Three Certifications foundation.
"Heavenly Essence Dao Brother?"
"Jingyu Dao Friend? I heard you had your dragon tail severed, and I thought you were dead. To my surprise, you're still alive!"
"Too... Too clever Dao Friend, why are you now dressed in women's clothing?"
"Jade Dao Friend, with all that negative energy around you, are you still looking for those underground dry bones to cultivate demonic techniques?"
"..."
After these ancestors recognized each other, they inevitably crowded together, seizing the chance to exchange information to see if others knew why they had suddenly appeared in the Jiawu Realm.
Of course, in the course of inquiring, they inevitably discovered that some ancestors looked nothing like what they remembered.
For a moment, the scene was as lively as a reunion of classmates after many years.
Suddenly, several figures that shocked everyone present appeared.
"Guan Dao Brother?"
"Sword Sovereign Guan Wushuang?"
"Gu Zhengyi Dao Friend?"
"Great History Gujin Dao Brother?"
These were the six ancestors of the Sword Temple, all summoned here.
Because these six were the strongest, there was some resistance in summoning them. But the Moluo Blood Crystal is still the Moluo Blood Crystal, no matter how much they resisted, they were all forcibly "invited" to the Jiawu Realm.
With their arrival, the numbers were complete!
Thus, after sensing that all who could be summoned were brought to the Jiawu Realm, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon spoke from its hidden place through the Moluo Blood Crystal, "Kill the Demon Lord Tan Shuchang, and you will be allowed to return to the Land of the Four Pillars."
The voice of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon did not spread from the void between heaven and earth but rose directly from the bottom of these ancestors' hearts, causing all the Ancestors present to look slightly unsettled.
Because they couldn't find a trace of the other party!
Combining the fact that they were forcibly brought to the Jiawu Realm made them all the more alarmed.
Who exactly was this sacred entity?
But soon after, these ancestors became perplexed, "Demon Lord Tan Shuchang? Who is this person? To kill a cultivator from the Jiawu Realm, do they need so many of us?"
Because currently, the Jiawu Realm only allowed the display of cultivation at the level of the First Certificate of Eternal Life. In other words, even the most extraordinary talents could only remain at the stage of the First Certificate at this time.
And how much trouble could a First Certificate cultivator really cause?
However, feeling baffled and puzzled, these ancestors still had to begin searching for this "Demon Lord Tan Shuchang."
Some ancestors didn't search, instead approaching the "Jade Dao Friend," who was previously shunned for being enveloped in negative energy.
"Jade Dao Friend, this Demon Lord must be one of your descendants. Why don't you contact your White Bone Sect?"
The Jade-surnamed Three Certifications ancestor who only dared to pick up dead bones for cultivation in the Land of the Four Pillars immediately waved his hand and said, "I dare not take on this title. If this Tan Dao Friend is honored with the title Demon Lord, it must mean his cultivation is extraordinary. However, contacting the White Bone Sect is no problem."
There were too many ascending ancestors watching him here, and on top of that, looking around, he was the only ancestor from the demonic path sects present, so this White Bone Sect ancestor dared not refuse.
One can only say that to have lived up to now, this ancestor of the White Bone Sect might not have great capabilities, but when it comes to being cautious, he could certainly be considered a master of survival!
And this Patriarch of the White Bone Sect, once he activated the Sect's Secret Technique, indeed managed to contact the Mo Dao cultivators of the White Bone Sect.
Due to the urgency of time, the White Bone Sect Patriarch went to meet them proactively. As for the other patriarchs, either they were hidden in the dark, or even though they were still in the clouds, their gazes had fallen upon the White Bone Sect Patriarch.
Although they could also contact their own Immortal Sects, these patriarchs all believed that the ones who understood the ways of Mo Dao the best were those within it, hence they all intended to see what clues the White Bone Sect Patriarch could glean.
As for the six from the Sword Temple, they knew who Tan Shuchang was, but given the Sword Temple's usual pride, how could they take the initiative to discuss it with these patriarchs present?
Although they were all Three-Certification cultivators, the patriarchs of the Sword Temple did not hold these peers in high regard. After all, none of those present were a match for them!
At this moment, the Patriarch of the White Bone Sect had already met with his junior disciples.
Just as he had imagined.
There were only about a dozen descendants in the White Bone Sect, most of whose cultivations were not high. The strongest among them only possessed cultivation that had not yet reached an entire lifetime.
Not reaching an entire lifetime is a cultivation classification used in the Land of the Four Pillars which means that upon reaching this stage of cultivation, one does not wither like a normal person would when approaching a century's end.
This stage roughly equates to a century of cultivation in the Jiawu Realm!
It so happens that this centenarian cultivator of the White Bone Sect was the one who had slain the demonic body of the Heartless Old Man. It could be said that Tan Shuchang shared a certain kinship with him.
"We pay respect to the Patriarch!" Before the Patriarch surnamed Yu from the Three Certifications had the chance to display his powers to prove his identity, the dozen or so cultivators from the White Bone Sect all calmly paid their respects to him.
After all, Patriarchs of this caliber had been killed by the Demon Lord too frequently, so they had become somewhat immune to the presence of such beings.
The Patriarch surnamed Yu felt a bit surprised at this scene but did not inquire further. Instead, he asked, "Do you know who Tan Shuchang is?"
"The Demon Lord," replied the centenarian cultivator from the White Bone Sect.
Hearing this answer that sounded like nonsense, the Patriarch surnamed Yu had no choice but to continue asking, "Do you know the detailed situation of this Demon Lord? If not, just tell me everything you know."
"Patriarch, I have here a diary written by the Demon Lord during his cultivation. Although it's not the original, everything has been collected and copied by us, without any omissions. Would you like to see it?" Said the centenarian cultivator of the White Bone Sect as he produced the copied "Tan Shuchang's Cultivation Diary."
"You still have this?"
The surprised White Bone Sect Patriarch did not hesitate, hastily waving his hand to conjure a mysterious light that projected the text from "Tan Shuchang's Cultivation Diary" for all to see.
After all, the Patriarch surnamed Yu was very aware that many eyes were secretly watching him at this moment.
As the content of the diary entered his vision, the Patriarch of the White Bone Sect unavoidably began to look rather peculiar.
Three hundred years had passed; had the demon cultivators of the Jiawu Realm become so mad?
Although some things in there seemed reasonable, what nonsense! It's not as if they took the actual situation into account.
Not only was the White Bone Sect Patriarch thinking this, the patriarchs from other sects were thinking the same, leading one of them to transmit a message saying, "This thing is nothing but trash, don't waste any more time on it, friend Yu. Let your disciples tell us everything they know. However, in my opinion, it would be more convenient to turn them into servitors for questioning."
However, just as this message was transmitted by the patriarch, a gentle male voice responded, "Friend, that's hardly reasonable. If you want to question, then question, why resort to killing?"
"Turning them into servitors so they can serve us is a fortune they couldn't earn in eight lifetimes, and besides, they're not dead yet, are they?" the transmitting patriarch reflexively retorted, but as soon as he said it, he realized something was off.
Because he had been transmitting a message!
At this time, the patriarchs who had been hiding in the shadows had to reveal their forms.
The reason being that those words spoken by the interjector were not transmitted silently, but rather aloud!
They all looked around and quickly found the source of the voice, as the individual had already voluntarily revealed himself. It was a young man wearing a dark robe, floating in the void with nothing beneath his feet, yet standing as naturally as can be. He was currently looking at them with a smile on his face.
"Are you that Demon Lord Tan Shuchang?"
The patriarchs had all come to their senses by this point.
