Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!-Chapter 464 - : 257, like a treacherous old man, is a mentor who presents himself at one’s doorstep
Chapter 464: 257, like a treacherous old man, is a mentor who presents himself at one’s doorstep
Mother and son had a long conversation, but it was all Ghost Mother talking, with Tan Shuchang chiming in with a few responses. It was evident that becoming an Immortal of the Immortal Path had left this master of the malefic dao overwhelmed with the impulse to complain. Having had no one to confide in before, he now couldn’t help but pour out his thoughts to someone familiar.
Otherwise, as a Heaven’s Authority’s True Immortal, he wouldn’t be acting this way.
“Do you know, mother, why, after transforming into the Tai’a Fire Master using an Immortal Technique, I was drawn to this place that seems meant for the Immortal Realm’s Land of Netherworld?”
Tan Shuchang listened patiently before voicing the biggest question on his mind.
“The one you transformed into must be the original True Immortal of this Land of Netherworld, right? Your transformative Immortal Technique, having been cultivated to the ultimate degree—if you weren’t my tenth son, even I wouldn’t be able to see through it,” Ghost Mother said with a cold voice, pondering several thoughts in her mind.
In the beginning, this tenth son, who was not supposed to be born yet had come into being, after which she faintly sensed that he would encounter extraordinary fortunes after death.
...
Thus, she had left the tenth son in the Mortal Realm.
After all, with this assurance, it was better for him to enjoy a lifetime as a mortal there rather than follow her to the Primordial Heavenly Realm.
Little did she expect that, after her return to the Primordial Heavenly Realm, her tenth son would break free from the Mortal Realm and arrive in the Land of the Four Pillars in just over twenty days.
She then briefly lost sight of him, and when she observed him again, she was astonished to find he had attained a position among the immortals. In the place that remained untouched since the dawn of heaven and earth, he was mistaken by other Celestial Master True Immortals as a “fellow daoist.”
What followed seemed only natural, as he swiftly condensed the Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit in a very short period.
Moreover, Ancestor of the Dao Shi Xin was clearly calculating something using her tenth son as a pawn.
However, due to her insufficient realm and great distance from Shi Xin, she couldn’t understand what Shi Xin was plotting with such an elaborate scheme.
After all, her tenth son was currently far too inferior to Shi Xin! What could Shi Xin be plotting that would still require the involvement of her tenth son?
If her tenth son had died once, she could understand him catching Shi Xin’s eye, since Shi Xin sometimes chose disciples in a rather unfathomable manner. Having died once, her tenth son with his extraordinary encounters could be compared to some of Shi Xin’s disciples.
But now, her tenth son hadn’t yet experienced death!
While Ghost Mother’s thoughts raced, Tan Shuchang, having heard his mother’s explanation, found it entirely credible. He had already come to the same conclusion in his mind when he had posed the question.

However, since these were mere conjectures on his part, Tan Shuchang wasn’t entirely sure whether his speculation was a hundred percent accurate.
“Does this Land of Netherworld summon the original Ghost Path True Immortals in order to restore their true forms?” Tan Shuchang asked.
“It is this heaven and earth wanting to return to its original state, requiring a lot of power. Relying solely on its own accumulated energy would take too long, so it seeks to assimilate True Immortals and extract the power of the Immortal Path,” Ghost Mother replied with a cold voice, providing Tan Shuchang an unexpected answer.
“The Land of Netherworld has its own consciousness?” Tan Shuchang exclaimed, surprised.
Up until now, he had never encountered a heaven and earth with its own consciousness. In common belief, heaven and earth were thought to lack self-awareness, possessing only instinctive behavior to seek fortune and avoid disaster.
Thus, if the heaven and earth lacked self-awareness, it wouldn’t specifically target a True Immortal.
After all, targeting a True Immortal didn’t fit with the heaven and earth’s instinct to seek fortune and avoid disaster.
“Due to a complication during the reversal of heaven and earth, this Land of Netherworld gained self-awareness,” Ghost Mother didn’t hide the truth, and it was precisely because of such changes that she had managed to remain safe here to this day.
When Ancestor of the Dao Shi Xin was unguarded, his might was unmatched. However, this state was not absolute; at least after Shi Xin turned the Primordial Heavenly Realm upside down, Ghost Mother distinctly felt that his might was being suppressed and weakened.
Especially since the Land of Netherworld developed self-awareness and began to restore itself at all costs, the suppression and weakening became even more evident.
“Mother, should I leave this place immediately?” Tan Shuchang asked politely.
“Everything is up to you,” Ghost Mother replied, unable to provide an answer to the question, so she could only say so.
Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang pondered, then recounted everything he had witnessed and heard outside the Land of Netherworld, carefully omitting the information he had gathered about the “Name of the World.”
Ghost Mother, once a True Immortal of Heaven’s Authority in the ancient Primordial Heavenly Realm, just from Tan Shuchang’s description, knew the place and warned with a cold voice, “That is outside the Primordial Heavenly Realm, a dwelling of True Immortals far mightier than the Primordial Heavenly Realm itself, called the Ten Desolation Realm, housing six beings equivalent to Ancestor of the Dao. Inside the Immortal Court, most of the True Immortals that came from outside are those who have escaped from the Ten Desolation Realm, with few exceptions.”
“Six Ancestors of the Dao?” Tan Shuchang was immediately stunned. Could there really be six beings at the same level as Ancestor of the Dao?
How was the Ten Desolation Realm able to achieve this?
The True Immortals of the Ghost Path in the Primordial Heavenly Realm, with only one Ancestor of the Dao, were already in a life or death struggle to kill the Ancestor of the Dao. Didn’t the True Immortals of the Ten Desolation Realm react at all?
