Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Tan Shuchang was searching for the Secluded Spring Blood Demon. Disgracefully, this "comrade" from Secluded Spring was a being that couldn't stand the light. Despite having traversed the twenty-five provinces of the Jiawu Realm, Tan Shuchang had failed to sense the whereabouts of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

"Could it be that the Secluded Spring friend has summoned his Blood Spring into the Jiawu Realm?" Tan Shuchang couldn't help but ponder this question based on his own experiences.

After all, his Blood Pool could create its own little world, concealing everything within it. There was no reason why that notorious Blood Spring couldn't do the same!

However, as Tan Shuchang thought this, he discovered that the Secluded Spring Blood Demon had appeared.

In Tan Shuchang's senses, he saw the Blood Demon open a door from the void and then stride out boldly.

This fellow had found a High Cultivator's cave residence!

"Is the High Cultivator's cave residence of any use to him?" And seeing this scene, Tan Shuchang became even more puzzled. Could it be that this infamous Secluded Spring Blood Demon, after summoning the Blood Spring, did not receive the enhancing effects of the Blood Spring?

Such as improving cultivation efficiency, enhancing the understanding of cultivation, and suchlike.

So, after some thought and adhering to the principle of asking when in doubt, Tan Shuchang took the initiative to appear, bowed with clasped fists to the Secluded Spring Blood Demon: "Secluded Spring friend, as the master of the Blood Spring, why do you still need to use this High Cultivator's cave residence? Moreover, the one you are looking for is rather small. If you need, I have one at Black Heart Mountain, which I picked up from a Sword Temple. It is so vast inside, it's about two or three times the size of Black Heart Mountain."

But the Secluded Spring Blood Demon wasn't in as good a mood as Tan Shuchang. Upon seeing Tan Shuchang, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon's soul nearly fled his body, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Weren't you ascended?" He had not hesitated to sacrifice his practice and lose people's lives just to make this fellow leave early for the Land of the Four Pillars. How then has he come back from the Land of the Four Pillars?

"I wasn't quite comfortable over there, so I came back to have a look," Tan Shuchang said truthfully.

However, these words, to the ears of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, naturally were as unbelievable as seeing a ghost.

Maybe you should listen to what you're saying?

At first, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon wanted to speak but hesitated. He was an ancient being who had roamed this world for countless years, originating from the "Demon in Immortals Catastrophe" in the Primordial Heavenly Realm and had been roaming freely until the recent archaic years.

He then encountered a Literary Dao True Immortal, an utterly complicated character. Other immortals merely paid lip service, but that teaching old man meant business.

Using his own dao, he permanently sealed his Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit.

From that time, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon had begun his streak of misfortune.

First, a reincarnation that was almost guaranteed went awry due to a misalignment of time, causing him to awaken only to find that this reincarnated body had already developed its own consciousness and personality.

Then, to successfully transform this reincarnated body into a form suitable for a Blood Demon, he deliberately sealed himself, letting the consciousness of this body nurture its demonic nature.

All of this was initially quite smooth, until he met Tan Shuchang, who not only flaunted his flamboyant presence every time he appeared, creating bizarre phenomena, but also loved to recite limericks.

After that, he could never seem to catch a break.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to help Tan Shuchang, sending this boy to the Land of the Four Pillars!

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, this scoundrel had returned on his own?

Did the Taiyin Celestial Pool die?

And wasn't the Jiawu Realm, because of a scheme, particularly harsh towards rejecting Taiyin Celestial energy?

How could they let a cultivator who soaked in the Taiyin Celestial Pool come back?

In a moment of resentment, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon suddenly froze, as he realized that on Tan Shuchang's body, there were absolutely no traces of having soaked in the Taiyin Celestial Pool.

"Where did you fly off to?" the Secluded Spring Blood Demon couldn't help but ask, because the worldly aura on Tan Shuchang's body had indeed faded quite a bit. This meant that he truly had sent Tan Shuchang ascending!

But wasn't ascending supposed to lead straight to the Taiyin Celestial Pool?

Although Tan Shuchang's cultivation level hadn't reached the Three Proofs, wouldn't the Taiyin Celestial Pool give face to the Secluded Spring Blood Demon?

The water in the Taiyin Celestial Pool, after all, had half of it drawn from the Blood Spring!

For this, the springs within the Blood Spring had nearly dried up for almost ten thousand years!

And it was precisely because the Blood Spring's source had dried up that he would later be put in such a sorry state by a Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter from the literary path! Stay connected via empire

The success of the Taiyin Celestial Pool could be attributed to one-third of his effort as the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

With such a great contribution, it wouldn't matter if he sent one, a thousand, or even ten thousand cultivators to the Taiyin Celestial Pool; none of the True Immortals from the Primordial Heavenly Realm would have any complaints.

Even the Purple-Gold Immortal would see nothing wrong with it!

"If Secluded Spring fellow wants to know, then I shall share with you..." Upon hearing what the Secluded Spring Blood Demon said, Tan Shuchang realized that the "Orion Martial Immortal Realm" he had previously visited must have had some tricks involved.

Thus, he relayed everything he had witnessed in the past seven days to the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

After listening, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon understood that his chance had arrived and immediately said, "Swear by the Demon Luo Heavenly Authority, and I will tell you where exactly your ascension place was and who probably schemed against you. From now on, our grievances will be wiped clean—you don't provoke me, and I won't provoke you!"

"Demon Luo Heavenly Authority, you say? No problem," Tan Shuchang promptly agreed. If it had been the Shenxu Celestial, he would indeed have some reservations and dare not break the oath, but Demon Luo Heavenly Authority...

Just a minor heterodox offshoot, why should he fear it?

Immediately, Tan Shuchang issued a very detailed oath according to the points mentioned by the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

This oath meticulously listed the things Secluded Spring Blood Demon had to do and the price Tan Shuchang had to pay.

But upon hearing this oath, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon couldn't help but sneer internally because the oath only stipulated that Tan Shuchang couldn't attack him but didn't say he couldn't attack Tan Shuchang in the future!

However, before he could feel proud for long, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon took the initiative to issue a corresponding oath.

He was patching up the loophole in Tan Shuchang's oath.

For some reason, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon suddenly felt uneasy, like palpitations but not quite; though he had not yet recovered his strength and his Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit was still sealed, his foundation as a True Immortal was still there.

Thus, it was still better to pay more attention to such impulsivities.

The Secluded Spring Blood Demon was genuinely frightened of this evil contraption in front of him!

What's more, he had already understood that this evil contraption would likely be in the same camp as him in the future.

This action by the Secluded Spring Blood Demon actually took Tan Shuchang by surprise.

Why was this demon being so polite?

The loophole he had intentionally left, this demon had actually voluntarily patched it up!

"Tan fellow, the place of your previous ascension was named Orion Prison Land. It was created by a Heavenly Officer True Immortal after the desolation of the Shenxu Celestial. It was mainly used to suppress a few demonic immortals. However, over time, because the area's cultivation environment resembled the Land of the Four Pillars, it transformed into a special place of exile," said the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

"This special nature means that once you enter the Orion Prison Land, there is no exit. Accordingly, any sin-bearing True Immortal from the Primordial Heavenly Realm who willingly enters the Orion Prison Land shall have all past misdeeds forgiven! The Martial Ancestor True Immortal preserved his position and his blood descendants in the Primordial Heavenly Realm using this method," he continued.

"I cannot directly send Tan fellow to that Orion Prison Land, and the fact that you were sent to ascend at that time was actually heavenly intent. The heavenly intent of the Jiawu Realm wouldn't harm a meritorious fellow like you; your initial foothold should have been on one of the celestial islands in the Land of the Four Pillars."

"But precisely because you were supposed to go to the celestial island, you alarmed a True Immortal from the Primordial Heavenly Realm, who then threw you into that Orion Prison Land," he added.

"So, may I ask, Secluded Spring fellow, from what you have seen, which True Immortal was so meddlesome?" asked Tan Shuchang seriously, his expression devoid of any anger, as if he wasn't upset at all.

"Do you know of the Purple-Gold Immortal, Tan fellow?" the Secluded Spring Blood Demon asked, with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Thank you, Secluded Spring fellow, for informing me!"

Tan Shuchang sincerely expressed his gratitude before striking down with his palm.

Demon Realm Giant Handprint!

"Tan Shuchang, have you lost your mind?" the Secluded Spring Blood Demon exclaimed in alarm and anger, not expecting that Tan, even after swearing in the name of the Demon Luo Heavenly Authority, would still dare to attack him.
