Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!-Chapter 550 - 296, The fate-like strife between master and disciple, the joyous Turbid Tribulation_2
Chapter 550: 296, The fate-like strife between master and disciple, the joyous Turbid Tribulation_2 Chapter 550: 296, The fate-like strife between master and disciple, the joyous Turbid Tribulation_2 Tan Shuchang’s fellow disciples held Immortal Treasures in their hands that were often not refined by themselves, but obtained from the palm of their teacher, the Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang.
Such Immortal Treasures, refined by an Ancient Immortal Ancestor, naturally had unimaginable might.
Even if the refinement was done without care and with a casual attitude, the grade of such Immortal Treasures could never be low.
However, it was also the act of Tan Shuchang’s own mentor, the Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang, that allowed his Sea of Blood to rush in unchecked, and the very gates of Tianchang Palace itself to be broken down so easily, all because in that instant, the restrictions on the gate had vanished.
The Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang acted this way for a reason, as he intended to have a justification for his actions.
After all, unlike the Heavenly Sword or Feng He, disciples like Tan Shuchang, “You Quan,” had absolutely no reputation in the Ten Desolation Realm.
Therefore, if the Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang did not wish his own prestige to suffer, he had to first allow his disciple to appear “ferocious” so that he could then righteously eliminate him.
...
Just as if Sun Wukong did not cause a great upheaval in the Heavenly Palace, who would know about the importance of the journey to the West.
Tan Shuchang was unaware that he had become that very Sun Wukong, but after breaking through the gate of Tianchang Palace, he realized that his mentor had intentionally let things happen.
Although he was indeed confident that he could have breached the gate of Tianchang Palace, it would not have been this easy. In fact, the might of his Sea of Blood easily annihilated all of his fellow disciples.
Therefore, Tan Shuchang immediately connected to the “Minor Immortal Realm” and then swapped his two bodies around.
His true body returned to the Land of the Four Pillars, while the “Minor Immortal Realm” mobilized the power of the Five Great True Immortal Tribulations, which were then infused into the Sea of Blood.
Because both bodies could be considered Tan Shuchang’s real form—one his flesh and blood, the other evolved from a part of the “numbers” of the Path of Ghosts—even the Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang at Heaven’s Authority’s Extreme Realm did not notice any difference.
Even as the might of the Sea of Blood grew stronger, the Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang paid even more attention to it.
After all, having the gates of Tianchang Palace breached was merely an act of losing face for show. However, should this rebellious disciple actually accomplish something notable, the pretense of losing face could turn into a harsh reality!
By this point, the Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang had determined that “You Quan,” the disciple he had taken in on a whim and never bothered with, was indeed the formidable future adversary he had sensed and grown wary of.
A formidable future enemy becomes such by being an Ancient Immortal Ancestor in the future.
But now, this future formidable adversary had not yet become an Ancient Immortal Ancestor!
“You commit such an act of insubordination, harming so many fellow disciples, and as your teacher, I can no longer keep you!” With this pronouncement, a golden bell descended from within the Nine-colored Auspicious Clouds.
The golden bell merely trembled slightly, and the Sea of Blood instantly shattered into pieces.
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
This bell was the product of the Ancient Immortal Ancestor Shuchang collecting the Dao Fruits of over ten Path Immortals, refined over ten thousand years. Needless to say, none of the Path Immortals whose Dao Fruits were used in the refinement were weak.
Each had traversed the Heavenly Tribulation of reincarnation at least ten times!
Among them, three had even withstood the Thirty-three Layer Heavenly Punishments, barely shy of performing meritorious deeds for the heavens and earth.
The talent of these three Path Immortals was such that each could be described as once-in-an-eternity. Had they not been schemed against by six old ascendants and their paths forward obstructed, they would have undoubtedly reached Heaven’s Authority’s Extreme.
The Ten Desolation Realm never lacked peerless geniuses; what it lacked was the space to allow these geniuses to continue their cultivation without interruption.
These ten-plus Path Immortals were all extraordinary, and so the golden bell refined from their Dao Fruits was naturally immensely powerful. With just a slight tremor, thousands of lethal intents descended.
As the Sea of Blood was shattered, it was also being continuously evaporated cleanly.
The saying “Without the Sea of Blood, one does not die,” when faced with this golden Immortal Treasure, was akin to an old woman bragging about her melons. Without exaggeration, the fall of the golden bell was comparable to the descent of the heavenly dao itself!
Had it been any other Heaven’s Authority’s Righteous Law True Immortal, they would have been directly influenced by this golden bell, for it possessed cross-realm killing curses. But Tan Shuchang’s second body, to some extent, was also a lineage of the heavenly dao.
Thus, as the forces clashed and canceled each other out, Tan Shuchang seized the opportunity to glimpse some special scenes.
These were scenes of three Path Immortals clashing with the Ancient Immortal Ancestor!
These were not scenes of sparring or friendly exchanges, but of life-and-death struggles.
Among these three Path Immortals, the one who fought with the Ancient Immortal Ancestor showed the most detailed scenes, including parts of his past. This Path Immortal was known as the “Purple Immortal Venerable.” The exact nature of the great dao he cultivated was unclear, but his uniqueness was evident at a glance.
“Because the cultivation level of this ‘Purple Immortal Venerable,'” not only reached the “blue stripe,” akin to a Heaven’s Authority’s True Immortal from the Primordial Heavenly Realm, with mana being just one aspect of their cultivation.
In cultivation, the main focus was on the Dao, which represented strength, while mana and Immortal Soul Sensing Power were distinctly separate, all of which were enhanced by one’s Dao.
Hence, the power that this ‘Purple Immortal Venerable’ unleashed had already reached one-third of an Ancient Immortal Ancestor’s.
This ‘Purple Immortal Venerable’ ultimately perished because a second Ancient Immortal Ancestor casually made a move.
Despite it being just a casual strike, it also meant that the ‘Purple Immortal Venerable’ fought two Ancient Immortal Ancestors simultaneously.
“This Immortal Treasure, is actually refined using the Dao Fruit of a True Immortal. With such terrifying power, the Dao Fruits of True Immortals used must be at least in the double digits, and each one is no weaker than the Heavenly Sword of my master elder brother, whom I only met once.”
Having confirmed this matter, Tan Shuchang directly instructed the “Minor Immortal Realm” to quietly hide in a place that Daoist Shi Xin had mentioned before, while the Blood Sea was being evaporated.
It was near a special area in the Endless Sea where the water had collapsed inward.
This place seemed to have developed an inexplicable anomaly below, sucking away countless volumes of water, resulting in an incredible celestial phenomenon.
A slit in the sea, as if it split the Endless Sea in two.
And in actuality, it had indeed been split in two, for this was a result of the influence of two Ancient Immortal Ancestors’ powers.
You Xing, Ancient Immortal Ancestor, and Ku Ji, Ancient Immortal Ancestor, although they never fought each other, their forces would subtly influence each other unbeknownst to one another.
To avoid misunderstandings, these two Ancient Immortal Ancestors usually ignored this sea split.
So did the other four Ancient Immortal Ancestors.
The “Minor Immortal Realm,” once it fell into the split, went utterly silent. The five types of True Immortal Tribulation Power released were not reclaimed; instead, they were scattered into the fabric of the heavens and earth after being dispersed by the golden bell.
To this, not only was Tan Shuchang unconcerned, but the acting Shuchang, Ancient Immortal Ancestor, was even less bothered.
For this Ancient Immortal Ancestor was solely intent on finding Tan Shuchang’s whereabouts!
After all, he might be his future formidable enemy.
The details of this battle, however, were not widely spread, known only by the other five Ancient Immortal Ancestors. Hence, the name “You Quan” had circulated among the elite circle of the Ten Desolation Realm.
Nonetheless, the Shuchang Ancient Immortal Ancestor searched for half a year and still could not find Tan Shuchang.
But, while his own master achieved nothing, Tan Shuchang had indeed reaped benefits!
For at this time, Tan Shuchang, who was far away in the Land of the Four Pillars, suddenly felt something subtle. After a careful sensation, his eyes instantly widened slightly.
“I wonder if this counts as… the willows planted without intention have sprouted shades?” Tan Shuchang looked somewhat perplexed.
…
After half a year quietly passed, the Practitioners of the Ten Desolation Realm began to find that their path of cultivation had started to become somewhat unusual.
Because of the Heavenly Tribulation!
Any Cultivator who had cultivated to a certain extent felt the Heavenly Tribulation!
These Heavenly Tribulations were quite weak, typically just one to three bolts of lightning, but this was in the case of a True Immortal. This referred not to the discounted Immortals of the Ten Desolation Realm, but to those on the level of the Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit.
Thus, such Heavenly Tribulations posed a significant threat to Cultivators who had not yet become Immortals.
Even True Immortals could ignore such petty tribulations, but they sensed a threat that existed beyond the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Turbid Tribulation!
This kind of calamity, it was unknown what it had absorbed from the heavens and the earth in this half-year, or if the Ten Desolation Realm was particularly conducive to it, but it had grown to a magnitude that even Tan Shuchang was astonished.
