Chapter 271: 168, do you believe me when I say I am the light of the righteous path?
Tan Shuchang's return to the Jiawu Realm did not cause much of a stir.
Because no outsider knew about it.
The seven-day trip to the "Orion Martial Immortal Realm," although not very fruitful, was still recorded in his own diary, otherwise, it would seem as if his ascension made no difference from not ascending at all. Enjoy more content from empire
As for the name Orion Martial Immortal Realm, it was a name Tan Shuchang had coined for that place.
After all, calling it 'that place' all the time was somewhat inconvenient.
"So you ascended only to add one more entry to your diary?" Right now, Dongdong, perched on a large rock near Tan Shuchang, resting her chin on her hands, had begun to play mind games upon realizing that no matter how hard she strained her eyes, she still couldn't read a single word.
"Isn't it amazing to add one more diary entry after ascending to such a place? Besides, it's not just one entry, but four!" Tan Shuchang, who was never fond of fame and fortune, naturally felt no ripples in his heart over this.
Upon hearing Tan Shuchang's sincere reply, all Dongdong could do was puff up her cheeks, unable to say anything more.
However, taking advantage of the moment, Tan Shuchang who saw himself winning, decided to kick his opponent while they were down, "Moreover, actually, I could still return there if I wanted."
Upon hearing what Tan Shuchang said, Dongdong was undoubtedly shocked to the core.
Could ascending really work like that?
This young girl's understanding of ascension was once again shattered by Tan Shuchang.
Her last misconception was also due to Tan Shuchang.
Previously, Dongdong thought that this demon cultivator, upon returning from a mistaken ascension, had gone through life-threatening dangers and even faced numerous pursuits, but now, listening to him, it seemed he came back quite easily? And he could also go back just as easily?
Thus, Dongdong mounted her sword light, taking with her the things given by Tan Shuchang and flew far away.
In fact, to be precise, it wasn't a thing, but a series of images.
These were the Sword Immortal teachings that Tan Shuchang had sorted out. He left in a hurry before and had no time to give them. Now that he was back, he could perfectly sync and impart them to the young girl. Although he felt these Sword Immortal teachings were all nonsense because he didn't feel anything after listening to them, at least they were related to the Sword Immortal. They were high-class enough, just perfect for a gift.
Seeing the young girl heading towards Dong family's cultivation mansion, Tan Shuchang simply put away his diary, preparing to go find the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.
This guy being alive still made Tan Shuchang very uncomfortable.
Previously, Tan Shuchang's sudden trip to the Orion Martial Immortal Realm for seven days did not result in the situation where one day in the heavens equated to a year on earth, but there was still some time difference.
A half-month had passed in the Jiawu Realm.
In this half-month, whether it was due to the Jiawu Realm's divine will growing more placid or not, many cultivators who were stuck at the threshold of one level felt the possibility of a breakthrough.
Also, based on this, the Dong family had moved into their clan's inherited cultivation mansion.
The intent was to use the accelerated flow of time within to rapidly enhance their cultivation, and also to ensure that when other Immortal Sects produced cultivators of one level, the Dong family could also produce one to hold up appearances.
And it wasn't just the Dong family; any cultivator who owned a cultivation mansion and had a sufficient lifespan was already doing this.
Originally in the Jiawu Realm, cultivators could not achieve immortality, which made cultivation mansions seem like an insipid rib bone—tasteless to eat, yet a pity to throw away.
Keep in mind, cultivation mansions that can accelerate the growth of Spiritual Medicine could very well be considered a Spiritual Realm Immortal Mansion. As for the benefits it could provide to a cultivator, to call it life-altering wouldn't be an exaggeration.
However, because they also accelerated the consumption of a cultivator's lifespan, in the previous Jiawu Realm, they had paradoxically become somewhat worthless...
Usually, having one mansion to represent one's foundation was enough. If a second one was obtained, it could be directly handed over to other Immortal Sects in need and with whom one had no enmity.
Therefore, this resulted in many cultivators in the Jiawu Realm now owning a cultivation mansion.
There were even Loose Cultivators who owned one.
However, among the Loose Cultivators, there were but a few who dared to engage in life-consuming cultivation.
This wasn't for the lack of courage or the conviction to stake it all. It was due to the limitations of their Cultivation Techniques! Many Loose Cultivators practiced low-tier Cultivation Techniques, so forget a hundred years of cultivation, they might not even possess half a Jiawu cycle's worth of cultivation.
Tan Shuchang walked on the wind and went wherever the clouds took him.
Along the way, he noticed that it was quieter in the Jiawu Realm than before, perhaps because those with the potential to reach one level were busy making preparations.
Previously, with no hope of immortality, even those with excellent talents were preoccupied with worldly concerns.
An Yunxin, the little master of Luoja Mountain, was just such a person.
And when people like him traveled, sometimes it seemed like they were only accompanied by two or three others, but in reality, one could never know how many were hidden in the shadows. This could be seen with Long Zhangyuan at that time.
Although the traveling privileges of these people mostly did not compare with those of Long Zhangyuan.
After all, it was mostly unfeasible for most powers to take revenge on a young junior with a centenarian cultivator or one close to a century of cultivation.
But where strength was lacking, numbers could make up for it!
This meant that any one of these people could, even if they ventured into a barren land, make the place bustling in a short time.
Of course, this prosperity had a time limit.
