Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

How extraordinary?

Capable of ignoring boundaries and directly affecting his realm!

"Then I must thank Daoist Shi Xin," Tan Shuchang clasped his fists and expressed his warm thanks. With this place being the last vestige of trust since the dawn of creation, Tan Shuchang still trusted Daoist Shi Xin, especially given that he could return at any time.

"Take good care of this item, Daoist. Whenever you wish to go, you can," said Ancestor Shi Xin of the Dao as he proceeded to produce a sword, which was none other than the Sword of Heaven.

Originally, a breath summoned by Ancestor Shi Xin of the Dao during his teachings had transformed into a spiritual treasure. Over the years, it stayed by Ancestor Shi Xin's side and underwent a transformation into a powerful Immortal Treasure.

"Then give it back to that little lass!"

Before his voice had faded away, the figure of Ancestor Shi Xin of the Dao had already vanished without a trace.

"The cultivation level of Daoist Shi Xin is more profound than ever. I wonder if he has reached the realm of the Ancestor of Dao?" Tan Shuchang couldn't help but say. However, he wasn't in a hurry to deliver the sword to the little lass. First, he carefully examined a bead-like object that Daoist Shi Xin had given him.

The bead wasn't smooth, and its surface was coarse. Although it didn't look like an ordinary stone found by the roadside, it wasn't much better. But as Tan Shuchang examined it, he noticed what seemed to be the shadowy outline of a door on the bead.

So, Tan Shuchang tried to push it.

The door opened easily.

Instantly, a golden brilliance expanded massively, and a surging torrent of spiritual energy rushed towards him.

Although Tan Shuchang's cultivation had long since surmounted the need for spiritual energy, the richness of it still made his mood soar instantly.

He then stepped forward.

The door, which had been pushed open as a mere shadow, became solid in an instant!

No anomalies occurred, nor was there any discomfort, but Tan Shuchang had already found himself amidst a bustling scene. For as far as the eye could see, there were people.

However, the people were distinctly divided.

Among them, over ten thousand people were on one side, and three others were each fighting alone.

It was clear that the vast group aimed to besiege these three, yet the three had no intention of joining forces and continued to fend for themselves.

What's notable is that the group numbering in the ten thousand was entirely human.

The ones fighting alone, however, were not.

But neither were they demonic creatures; their aura lay somewhere between human and ghost, undoubtedly reminding Tan Shuchang of something familiar. The aura of these three resembled that of Senior Ku Mu, who once suffered a blow from the Ghost Suppressing Technique and was chased by a ghost from the Land of Netherworld.

Tan Shuchang had visited the Land of Netherworld a few times and certainly frequented the Sword Apprentice Mountain even more. However, this puzzlement had always eluded his understanding.

Originally, Tan Shuchang had dismissed this conundrum many years ago, yet unexpectedly today, he encountered something similar.

It was similar because Tan Shuchang had ascertained that the widely-circulated Ghost Suppressing Technique in Shenxu Heaven had no effect on these three.

He always struck swiftly.

Now, the sudden appearance of Tan Shuchang had left both sides on the battlefield stunned.

After all, this demon cultivator had appeared from thin air.

Seeing these people staring at him, Tan Shuchang clasped his fists in a natural gesture and spoke in an even tone: "Tan Shuchang has met with all the Daoist friends here. May I ask what you all are doing in this place?"

The language he used was that of Shenxu Heaven, but as the words left his mouth, they automatically turned into something the local people could understand.

This was a capability possessed by a One Testament Immortal.

Upon hearing Tan Shuchang's words, the two opposing factions—the ten thousand strong—had peculiar looks on their faces, but their eyes remained vigilant while beholding Tan Shuchang.

However, the three with auras between human and ghost showed an interested expression upon hearing Tan Shuchang's remark. One of them even started laughing outright: "Hahaha, interesting, so interesting! Who would have thought that this world is connected to other worlds! Now, our paradise can expand!"

"Since that's the case, let's make it quick! After dealing with this group, there's no more fun to be had in this world," another agreed, deeply concurring.

Though these three originated from different factions, there was no disagreement on opening up a new paradise.

Following these words, the three, who lingered between human and ghost, suddenly unleashed terrifying auras, their bodies began to distort, and their appearances changed drastically. One figure was decayed, like a walking corpse; another's body was rotting, with green hair and maggots surfacing on its skin; the third had a contorted visage, appearing to be in extreme agony.

"I'm in so much pain!"

The individual with a twisted visage and unparalleled agony took the lead in acting out. And as he let out this scream, he pulverized his own head with a punch.

An invisible wave spread instantly, and among the tens of thousands of people present, one after another began to show a flushed face and eyes filled with terror, a sign that their heads were about to burst.

But at that moment, a similar invisible wave emerged, instantly neutralizing the force imbued with "pain."

Not only did it neutralize this "painful" force, but it also counteracted the "rotten" and "skeletal" powers that the other two individuals who were between human and ghost had unleashed.

Despite this, the overwhelming group was still shaken to their core, and the clever ones among them turned tail and ran immediately.

And with someone leading, others quickly followed.

Thus, in an instant, only the three individuals caught between human and ghost remained, along with Tan Shuchang, who watched the three with a smiling gaze.

To be honest, the strength of these three was not weak. Though they hadn't yet touched the realm of immortals and were at most at the level of one with three proofs, they were able to borrow strength that was not their own!

The force of the Ghost Path!

If it were any other Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter, even those at the realm of Earthly Evil Extreme like them, they would have to turn tail and flee at this moment, and a mark of the Ghost Path's power would be planted on their body.

Without tens of thousands of years, one cannot hope to remove these power marks.

But for Tan Shuchang, this naturally wasn't so troublesome.

His immunity to ghostly powers didn't just apply to Ghost Immortals; any power related to ghosts would be viciously stripped away by him.

Including this Ghost Path's power!

"The Rotten Ghost Path... It's an old acquaintance indeed!" Tan Shuchang was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected to encounter such a familiar ghostly power here.

Talking about which powers within All Ghostly Paths were the most familiar, then this Rotten Ghost Path, along with Mr. Chu who liked to "reward" generously, would undoubtedly rank side by side.

After all, the first Ghost Path that Tan Shuchang had encountered in his struggle was precisely this Rotten Ghost Path.

At that time, only a fraction of its strength had fallen into the bizarre game world, yet it forced the Land-Destroying King to use his strongest methods. Four originally formidable Fierce Ghosts were directly reduced to common ones because of it.

"If the three of you are indeed the descendants of an old friend, then there's no need for pleasantries between us. Please do me the honor of joining me in my Blood Pool..."

As Tan Shuchang spoke, he brought his hand down in a pressing motion. Instantly, the three who had been wreaking havoc in this world were swept away by a surge of blood that appeared out of nowhere.

Then, Tan Shuchang didn't bother with further talk and proceeded to refine them.

Although these "descendants of an old friend" were able to borrow strength that wasn't their own, this part of their power couldn't last forever. What's more, Tan Shuchang also had another identity—the master of the Snake Desire Realm!

Now, with the Incarnation that was transformed from the Body of Laws of the Law of Greed within the bizarre game world, transferring its "greed" to him, these three were quickly refined by Tan Shuchang.

Given the ghostly appearance of these three, it would be hard to believe they were not ghosts.

However, it was somewhat regrettable that, although Tan Shuchang had obtained some information worthy of being secret, he did not find the item mentioned by Daoist Shi Xin, which could shorten the time necessary for the transformation of Earthly Slaughter to Celestial Firmament.

So, Tan Shuchang thought for a moment, then sent his Incarnation to the Ancient Sword Immortal Domain.

In the Ancient Sword Immortal Domain, there stood a wondrous mountain, known as the tallest peak of the domain!

However, a certain young girl did not reside on this wondrous mountain.

She settled under an oddly shaped tree opposite the peak, where a naturally formed cave was transformed into her cave dwelling by her.

It's just that the name of the cave dwelling was rather ominous—it was called the White Bone Cave.

And to fit the theme, she also renamed the small hill "Skull Mountain."

With such a lousy name... it was destined to attract a little devil with two braids shooting from ten thousand miles away with a divine bow.

The Incarnation that had arisen from the Law of Greed approached the entrance of this cave dwelling, initially intending to knock on the door. But then he remembered that the young girl was to cultivate in seclusion for five hundred years, which likely meant she would pretend not to hear even if she heard it.

Therefore, the Incarnation took out an Immortal Drum from the Blood Pool and struck it forcefully.

Boom!

In an instant, the earth trembled and the mountains swayed.

The White Bone Cave collapsed entirely. Hmm, truly befitting a spiritual treasure nurtured within the Blood Pool!
