Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

"A curse like this, so terrifying?"

Tan Shuchang couldn't help but think of that tragic emotion, feeling that there must be some hidden story behind it, and that this story... was most likely related to the previous attempt of this world to ascend.

Unfortunately, the six Yin Gods he had refined were all "ordinary" ghostly creatures, none with any special privileges in the Land of Yin and Darkness, so the useful information he could obtain after refining these Yin Gods was not much.

After all, with the previous scenario of the sea of blood, would any Yin God with a bit of status bother to come out and take risks?

Those with status would be hiding behind, issuing orders.

Thus, Tan Shuchang began to pay attention to various places in this world, because he felt that this matter was probably not over yet.

Then, he discovered something unusual in Vast Cold State.

Amidst the rising clouds and mist, Tan Shuchang arrived at the gateway of Jinglong Cave Heaven, where Fairy Ji was still lingering outside the gate, as if intending to transform into a guardian beast of the mountain. However, inside the gate of Jinglong Cave Heaven, it was already empty.

Tan Shuchang did not greet Fairy Ji, and directly entered Jinglong Cave Heaven.

The sect leader of Jinglong Cave Heaven, Nangong Tianshuang, whom he had met once before, as well as the numerous elders and disciples of Jinglong Cave Heaven, were now nowhere to be seen. And where these elder disciples used to live was now clean and tidy.

Many of the treasures of Jinglong Cave Heaven had been taken away, but some were left behind.

On top of these items, there was a letter.

On the envelope, three words were written—Ji Shihe.

This letter was most likely left for Fairy Ji outside, and if not, it must be for someone related to her.

So Tan Shuchang took the letter and walked out.

"Demon Lord?" Upon seeing Tan Shuchang, Fairy Ji was immediately stunned, as the piercing five-colored pillar of light on that day was dazzling, and even from Vast Cold State, she had seen it clear as day.

According to ancient legends, that was a phenomenon that only occurred during ascension!

"I flew to the wrong place, so I came back to fly again. Just now, I was visiting the fellow Daoists of Jinglong Cave Heaven, only to find that the place is empty. I assume everyone has ascended. Take a look, is this letter left for you?" Tan Shuchang said as he handed over the letter.

Fairy Ji, naturally overwhelmed by the substantial information in his words, quickly came to her senses, "Demon Lord, this letter is indeed for me, but I am not in a position to read it, kindly read it on my behalf."

"No problem." Tan Shuchang was very satisfied with Fairy Ji's understanding. It was impolite to open someone's letter privately, but with the person's permission, everything was fine.

Tan Shuchang opened the envelope, scanned it once, and looked at Fairy Ji with surprise, "The Snake Transformation Cultivation Technique from the Serpent Transformation Cave will turn one into a snake, eventually transforming into a Mountain-Sea Beast? And the memories of one's past as a human will quickly fade away, ultimately becoming a complete Mountain-Sea Beast?"

"The Snake Transformation Cultivation Technique does have such a drawback, which is why I wanted to cultivate the True Dragon Technique of Jinglong Cave Heaven," Fairy Ji sighed softly.

"They have left that True Dragon Technique for you. They didn't teach it to you before due to the sect's rules. Now that Jinglong Cave Heaven has ascended, you are the new sect leader of this part of the world," Tan Shuchang said.

"Thank you, Nangong sect leader! Thank you to all the elders of Jinglong Cave Heaven!" Fairy Ji immediately became overjoyed, and then she invited Tan Shuchang to enter Jinglong Cave Heaven with her.

Tan Shuchang, however, shook his head, as he had already surveyed the entire gate upon entering Jinglong Cave Heaven.

But just as he was preparing to leave, he saw a beam of light suddenly flash and disappear on the horizon.

Out of curiosity, Tan Shuchang followed the place where the beam had appeared.

The clouds and mist reappeared instantly, swirling and rising, and Tan Shuchang was already at the place where the beam had been. There was no trace of the light pillar, nor any abnormal signs. At that moment, two more figures appeared within Tan Shuchang's perception.

The speed at which these two were using their Flying Escape Technique was very fast.

Then, the two of them saw each other. However, Tan Shuchang, who was concealing his presence, was invisible to them.

So, as soon as these two saw that the other was present, the atmosphere turned tense and hostile in an instant.

"Ning Dao friend."

These two people were Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo.

This part of the world had fallen out of the rankings of heavenly armor, but the fortunes of the two Sons of the Heavenly Mandate were still unaffected and continued to appear purple-gold in color.

However, unlike last time, Ning Shuqi's fortune, which had been faltering before, had become incredibly long and resilient, and was also slowly growing stronger. It seemed that the great changes in the world had brought about many intangible benefits to this Son of the Heavenly Mandate.

Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo had a poor relationship, and after the dissolution of Guan He Xi Tuo Mountain, the two of them no longer restrained themselves as before, and became openly hostile to each other.

So, upon encountering each other in this desolate mountain, they quickly came to blows.

Ning Shuqi was making rapid progress, having mastered the essence of the Flame Taoist Method of the spellcaster lineage. Even the young master from Luoja Mountain would do no better.

Those flames dancing across the sky seemed to follow Ning Shuqi's will, forming lotus shapes that would always lead to a series of explosions.
