Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!-Chapter 469 - : 259. Demon Lord Tan Goes Back to His Old Ways

Chapter 469: 259. Demon Lord Tan Goes Back to His Old Ways

“But to kill the master or not?” Shuchang currently had no such thought.

After all, the situation he faced then was different from that on Black Heart Mountain; on Black Heart Mountain, although he faced a deadly tribulation, he could not escape.

But here, even though it seemingly was also a deadly tribulation, he could run!

To deceive one’s master and wipe out one’s ancestors, truly a Sacred Gate tradition!

Thinking of the True Spirit Pill he had just acquired, Shuchang couldn’t help but lament in this manner. Just by looking at the method of refining this pill, it was clear that his current benefactor of a master was undoubtedly from the Demon Lord’s side.

At this moment, because of Shuchang’s utterance of “fellow disciples,” the True Immortals who had emerged from the Treasure Pavilion were all grimacing.

...

However, after learning how Shuchang got to Tianchang Palace, these True Immortals presented a magical treasure as a congratulatory gift for his entry into Tianchang Palace.

Since it was not to make amends, the magical treasures they offered were not as good as the True Spirit Pill.

Among these individuals were those who specialized in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Formation. The gifts they presented were also related to their respective specializations.

And as items refined by True Immortals, whether they were elixirs or magical treasures, or formations, were actually quite fine. At least for someone at the level of Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law, they would be of great help.

But Shuchang’s strength was not at the level of Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit, which made these congratulatory gifts somewhat tasteless yet too precious to discard.

Still, Shuchang did not refuse them, simply noting down the names of these fellow disciples.

Once he left Tianchang Palace, he planned to sell these magical treasures gifted by his fellow disciples under their names and exchange them for cultivation resources he might need.

Such as the True Immortal Soul of the Ghost Path.

With the emergence of True Spirit Pill and Heavenly Immortal Elixir, Shuchang did not believe there would be no True Immortal Souls for sale.

Considering his benefactor was a top-tier power in the Demon Path, he would probably not mind him purchasing Ghost Path True Immortal Souls; after all, the old man used True Immortals to refine True Spirit Pills.

“Youquan Senior Brother, won’t you go to the Treasure Pavilion to seek magical methods?” The young man who had been following him along the way looked at Shuchang heading elsewhere and couldn’t help but ask with a hint of confusion.

“There are one hundred and seventy-three disciples of our master; I should rightly meet with each one of them,” said Shuchang. How many True Immortal Souls of the Ghost Path he could get would depend on how much wool he could shear this time.

“Youquan Senior Brother, you may not know, but including you and me, the master has one hundred and seventy-three disciples, but most are not within Tianchang Palace. And of the eight who attend to the master’s side, half are absent due to their need to undergo Tribulation,” the young man hurriedly explained.

“Tribulation?” Shuchang was somewhat surprised. The Immortals of the Ten Wastelands still had to undergo a Tribulation to break through?

In the Primordial Heavenly Realm, there was also talk of True Immortals descending to experience Tribulation, but that was limited to the True Immortals within the Immortal Court. Moreover, every True Immortal that descended to experience Tribulation was actually transferring something to ascend higher or to return to their prime.

Essentially, this was not Tribulation but a far-reaching ascetic practice.

“Those four Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, they have all cultivated to the realm of Path Immortal. One more step, and they would be equivalent to the Ancient Immortal Ancestor Realm of our master. It is difficult to achieve this state, and before attempting the breakthrough, one needs to undergo ten reincarnations, recultivating ten lifetimes’ worth of methods, to qualify for the attempt,” the young man explained the detailed meaning of “Tribulation” to Shuchang.

“Ten reincarnations, just for the qualification to attempt a breakthrough?” Upon hearing this, Shuchang couldn’t help feeling a sense of surprise, along with a touch of absurdity.

Reincarnation might sound simple, but to actually go through one reincarnation was anything but easy.

And the reincarnation here should not be the same method as the one used by True Immortals from the Primordial Heavenly Realm when descending to experience Tribulation. It was clear because when this fellow disciple spoke these words, there was a distinct fear in his eyes.

“Yes! And even after the ten reincarnations, one cannot attempt the breakthrough right away, because one also needs to endure the Thirty-three Layer Heavenly Punishments and establish great merits for Heaven and Earth!” the young man continued.

When mentioning the “Thirty-three Layer Heavenly Punishments,” the young man’s tone was tinged with fear.

Obviously, that was something that could easily annihilate a Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law.

Listening to such a complicated method for breakthrough, Shuchang keenly perceived that this was not the “correct path” to a breakthrough; it was clearly designed to discourage people from attempting it!

Thus, he inquired in detail about the progress of these four disciples.

The young man did not conceal anything.

“Youquan Senior Brother, those four Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters are at different stages in progress. And what I know of is from ten years ago, so there is likely some difference from the current situation,” he began, before detailing their progress.

“Heavenly Sword Senior Brother’s cultivation is the highest; his strength is exceedingly close to the Ancient Immortal Ancestor Realm. With a casual strike from our master, only Heavenly Sword can withstand it within the entire Tianchang Palace. Even across the Ten Wastelands, there are but a few Path Immortals like Heavenly Sword Senior Brother who can manage this. For one, the reincarnation of Heavenly Sword Senior Brother is the earliest, having entered the final stage of the ninth life ten years ago.”

“The cultivation of Feng He Senior Sister is on par with Heavenly Sword Senior Brother, both at the pinnacle of Path Immortal. However, due to the methods she cultivates, her strength is not as good as Heavenly Sword Senior Brother’s. She cannot withstand a casual strike from the master. However, Feng He Senior Sister is much loved by the master, and thus, as of ten years ago, she had already started her tenth reincarnation.”
