Chapter 461: 255, Diary of a Demon Cultivator from the Heavens_2
“Cultivating for twenty-one years to become an immortal? Such natural talent and genius, truly remarkable!”
But there were those who looked down upon it.
“I became an immortal at eighteen years old!” said a royal descendant of the ancient Suigu dynasty from Nanzhan Continent.
Of course, this person misunderstood the meaning of “becoming an immortal.”
The immortality that Tan Shuchang had achieved was commonly used here to refer to the powerful realm of “Ancestral Immortal.”
This realm had another name, but it was usually referred to as “Ancestral Immortal,” because only the old ancestors of a clan could reach this level.
...
This was not because the later generations were inferior to the ancients.
It was because the difficulty of achieving this state in the Land of Ten Desolations was not lower than in the Land of the Four Pillars. Hence, those who attained this state had truly exceptional talents!
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was a miracle that occurred once in a thousand years.
At this time, the diary was largely collected, but where exactly Tan Shuchang was remained unknown to anyone.
However, though no one could find Tan Shuchang, as his name began to spread, an intangible fluctuation began to emit.
This wave was not concealed, yet strangely, no existence could perceive it.
Because this was the “Ghostly Heavenly Dao Number” integrated into Tan Shuchang’s body, beginning to reveal its original and initial form.
At this moment, the destiny was changing!
And this change did not last for long.
Very quickly, the Ten Desolation Realm fully accepted this change in destiny.
Thus, behind the sheer cliff, an old figure invisible to all, though still healing, couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a smile.
His scheming had finally come to fruition.
And this figure was none other than Daoist Shi Xin, who, in the eyes of some demon cultivators, was considered part of the “Heaven’s Authority.”
He had endured assassination attempts time and again, yet he had not killed in retaliation, even covertly helping those Celestial Master True Immortals recover, with the ultimate goal being this change in the destiny of the Ten Desolation Realm.
When the Ten Desolation True Immortals fled to the Primordial Heavenly Realm, Shi Xin Dao Ancestor naturally became aware of the Ten Desolation Realm.
Initially, even Shi Xin Dao Ancestor did not know how long it would take, until, by chance due to a whitewashed palm that had suffered heavenly retribution, he met a certain demon cultivator.
At first, he was uncertain, but it was not until the third sermon that he became sure.
“The Ten Desolations are incomplete, the old Dao will lend you a hand to make you whole.” This Shi Xin Dao Ancestor, who should have been a World Ending Demon, had a look and tone that seemed to reveal his true nature when he said these words.
…
The Ten Desolations were actually immense.
However, because the destiny was incomplete, only nine Desolaces had manifested so far, so if the immortals of the Ten Desolation Realm wanted to transcend and step into the legendary “Banhu Realm,” they would first have to endure.
Of course, not all True Immortals had the qualifications to endure.
After all, more than ninety-nine percent of True Immortals did not even have the cultivation close to touching the “Banhu Realm.”
But now, there was no need to endure.
Because the opportunity for the “Banhu Realm” had arrived.
The incomplete destiny of the Ten Desolations was being made whole!
The Land of the Tenth Desolation had already appeared!
“Behind the sheer cliff, a corner of destiny had appeared before, but logically, the incompleteness of destiny should not have started there. Destiny should not be like this; it must be man-made. But who could do such a thing?”
A figure standing above the vast expanse, while contemplating the whole scene of the Ten Desolation Realm, couldn’t help feeling puzzled.
His name was “Tai Jie.”

He was one of the Six Ancient Immortals of the Land of Ten Desolations.
Ancient Ancestor was not just a respectful title given by many beings; it was also a symbol of strength.
They were equivalent to the Daoist Shi Xin.
All were figures who had reached the end of Heaven’s Authority’s Righteous Law’s Dao Fruit.
Unlike the Land of the Four Pillars, at the end of the immortal path in the Primordial Heavenly Realm stood only one person, while in the Land of Ten Desolations, six such beings existed!
Originally, the Land of Ten Desolations could have given birth to three more such Ancient Immortals, but because these six Ancient Immortals were unwilling to see this happen, no one else could step into this realm.
At this time, it wasn’t just Tai Jie who was enveloped in such confusion.
At the northernmost end of the Ten Desolation Realm, above that vast Endless Sea, there lay a scarcely-known Immortal Island. From the outside, the island appeared quite small; however, once inside, one would realize that this island wasn’t below any known continent, in fact, it was more than twice the size of the Nanzhan Continent.
This was the Island of Omnipresent Ease.
The island harbored many Practitioners, each hailing from different origins, yet here, all distinction of status was absent.
For they were all disciples of the Ancient Immortal Ancestor “You Xing.”
Aside from the Island of Omnipresent Ease at the far north, there was an equally mysterious Immortal Island at the southernmost point, yet this island bore no name, and there weren’t many Practitioners on it, mostly being the native creatures of the island itself.
This nameless Immortal Island didn’t prohibit outsiders from landing, but regardless of who came, they were always left disappointed.
For they could never find the resident Ancient Immortal Ancestor, “Ku Ji.”
The situations on these two Immortal Islands were stark opposites, but at this time, the two Ancient Immortals on the islands expressed similar bewilderment.
On the Island of Omnipresent Ease, the Ancient Immortal Ancestor You Xing suddenly stopped in the middle of expounding his Dao and heaved a long sigh. However, his disciples, not understanding why, could only send forth their thoughts telepathically, offering them to the Ancient Immortal Clan for contemplation!
Meanwhile, on the nameless Immortal Island, flowers that should have been blooming withered in an instant. Thousands of creatures on the island, regardless of their origins or cultivation level, all died at this moment!
These two Immortal Islands were also the only places among the many where no “Tan Shuchang Journal Rain” had occurred.
Furthermore, there was the second highest mountain peak in the Ten Desolation Realm, within a group of palaces resplendent with gold and jade, from where a figure glided out, only to hear a deep, long sigh that sent many rocks flying from that second-highest peak.
These rocks, imbued with the Qi of the Ancient Immortal “Wu Ning,” were no ordinary stones. Once they entered the world, they would become the harbinger of calamity.
If taken by a child, they would bring about parental strife, siblings’ demise.
If taken by a student, they would deceive mentors, betray ancestors, abandon doctrine and rebel against the Dao.
If taken by an elder, they would engage in selfish profiteering, by any means necessary.
Naturally, near where the Ancient Ancestor Stillness resided, no “Tan Shuchang Journal Rain” had occurred either.
There were two more Ancient Immortals, but these three were so ancient, having not engaged with the world for countless years, that the disturbances they created were much lesser.
These two Ancient Immortals were “Qu Tai” and “Shuchang.”
At this time, these two happened to be in the same place.
It was Shuchang Ancient Immortal Ancestor, who took the initiative to invite Ancient Ancestor Qutai and proposed to erase all grievances between them.
This place was also free from the disturbances of “Tan Shuchang Journal Rain.”
Ancient Ancestor Qutai resembled a regal emperor, his countenance that of a man in his thirties, which of course, was impossible.
At this moment, Ancient Ancestor Qutai made no attempt to conceal his confusion.
For the grudge between him and Shuchang Ancient Immortal Ancestor stemmed from him once thwarting Shuchang’s ascension to the Dao. Although Shuchang had since ascended, that grudge against ascension could be set aside. But by all logic, even if they were to write off the past, it should have been he who spoke first, not the Shuchang Ancient Immortal Ancestor.
“Daoist friend, although I rejoice at your success, I must ask… why is this?” inquired Ancient Ancestor Qutai.
“The numbers of the Ten Desolations are completing their sequence, and I have accidentally glimpsed a corner of the future. There, I am fated to clash with an individual. But no matter how I examine it, the vision remains unclear,” replied Shuchang Ancient Immortal Ancestor in a casual tone that betrayed a trace of turmoil.
For at his level of existence, such unpredictability should not have occurred. It not only appeared but also obscured everything about the other party. Usually, there is only one explanation for this— he and that other were predestined adversaries in a fight to the death.
Moreover, between the two, only one party was allowed to survive!
Logically speaking, at the realm of an Ancient Immortal Ancestor, one should not be killable, but with the numbers of the Ten Desolations nearing completion, the Banhu Realm no longer an airy fantasy, and such whims of fate emerging, who could be completely sure?
“Could such a thing really be?” Having heard this, Ancient Ancestor Qutai couldn’t help but feel surprised, his eyes showing a measure of solemnity.
Although the one facing this life-and-death tribulation would be Shuchang Ancient Immortal Ancestor, as a fellow Ancient Immortal, even if Shuchang was his nemesis, he didn’t consider it a fortunate thing.
Because it implied that an Ancient Immortal Ancestor could be killed!
