Chapter 570: 307, a demonic cultivator is always a demonic cultivator. Chapter 570: 307, a demonic cultivator is always a demonic cultivator. Doing good deeds, some like to leave their name behind, while others prefer to remain anonymous. Tan Shuchang felt he belonged to the latter category; however, because it involved his disciple who knew him well, he chose to conceal some of the benefits.

Of course, this act inevitably harbored resentment from the Karma Venerable.

After all, the Karma Venerable became who he is precisely because he had once mastered the Karmic Fire to an extreme degree. His defeat under the Karmic Fire gathered by Tan Shuchang was solely because the Karma Venerable himself had forsaken it.

Originally, this wouldn’t have mattered much, but when Tan Shuchang employed the Immortal Technique “Water can carry a boat and also capsizes it,” this undoubtedly greatly magnified the situation.

It led to the Karma Venerable falling into the Banhu Realm.

It seemed as though Tan Shuchang had boundless tactics, able to toy with the Banhu Realm effortlessly, but in reality, it was the Karma Venerable who brought this upon himself. Just as a fly does not settle on an intact egg, had the Karma Venerable not first forsaken it, this transformation of the Immortal Technique would have been completely ineffective against someone of the Banhu Realm.

Despite falling into the Banhu Realm, the Karma Venerable had once belonged there, so he was still capable of returning.

After all, however much the Karma Venerable had renounced, he did not transform from “he” to “It.”

The Heaven’s Authority’s Extreme without the opportunity to ascend is generally due to deviating in cultivation leading to self-unknown flaws, which results in becoming “It.”

And the Heaven’s Authority’s Extreme with the opportunity to ascend remains “he” and “she.”

However, this presupposes that the Karmic Fire had not been usurped by others. With no choice, the Karmic Fire could only choose to approach the Karma Venerable again, since uniting was the only way they could achieve mutual success.

But what if there were options?

If one chooses the second method of recovery, they would inevitably control a part of the Karmic Fire. And this naturally provided the Karmic Fire with a second option for selection.

Once Tan Shuchang had dealt with the Karma Venerable, he felt relieved as he had avenged himself.

Then, he pondered over the matters that had not continued earlier.

He originally wanted to further optimize that unique artifact, aiming to reduce the number of Heaven’s Authority’s Extremes required to activate such artifacts.

However, after realizing “Water can carry a boat and also capsize it,” he began to suspect that the creator of such artifacts intentionally made it require nine Heaven’s Authority’s Extremes to operate successfully.

If even he could optimize such an artifact, there’s no reason the creator couldn’t!

Thus, aside from the nearly impractical possibility of a practice piece, the only other possibility was that the other party did it intentionally.

“Nine is the extreme number, maybe this involves some balance?”

Whenever people act within their capabilities, they always aim to do their best, striving for perfection. And this friendly gesture is not without deep meaning.

With this thought, Tan Shuchang felt a deeper enlightenment in his heart.

Thus, he dwelt on this and meditated for three months.

Three months later, as his thoughts suddenly became clear, Tan Shuchang took the final step from the first to the second in the Timeless phase.

“Too much is as bad as too little!”

Tan Shuchang felt unlimited exhilaration, and in such a refreshing mood, his Cultivation Realm naturally advanced further.

And this step was the nine-part Banhu Realm moat.

Timeless!

Upon entering this realm, the first thing Tan Shuchang did was to enter the Long River of Time.

He went directly against the flow.

Quickly, he alarmed an entity in the Banhu Realm, a being in its first step, who was surprised to sense Tan Shuchang’s presence. However, before the entity could even speak, a projection from the entity tried to barge in aggressively.

The individual of the Banhu Realm was greatly shocked but remained relatively composed. After all, clashes between those of the same Banhu Realm were impossible.

But quickly, the composure vanished from this Banhu Realm individual’s face.

Because his qi was directly connected with the intruder’s, it meant that fighting between them was possible. This Banhu Realm individual was taken aback and hurriedly calculated.

Soon, this Banhu Realm individual had an answer.

However, although there was an answer, this Banhu Realm individual had some difficulty believing it, “It’s actually you!”

He recognized Tan Shuchang.

He had been targeted by a “Fake Immortal King” once.

At that time, Tan Shuchang’s Cultivation Realm was unclear to this Banhu Realm individual, but it was certainly not the second step of the Banhu Realm, yet unexpectedly, Tan Shuchang had reached it so quickly.

The power of the Banhu Realm clashed in an instant. Due to their most direct past conflict, the opportunity for a fight had perfectly materialized.

But swiftly, even though Tan Shuchang’s realm was much higher, he still had to retreat from that period of time.

After all, it wasn’t a period he dominated.

And he had only just entered the realm of the Timeless.

However, Tan Shuchang wasn’t discouraged. Although acting out affected him negatively, his brief intrusion left significant vulnerabilities in that period.

These vulnerabilities were sufficient for the Banhu Realm individual to face downfall once.

Of course, it was only once.

Referencing the Karma Venerable, falling once was not a significant issue for a Banhu Realm individual.

But Tan Shuchang did not continue to ascend against the current, as advancing further would merely serve as his own petty vengeance and would not truly make those Banhu Realm individuals feel pain.

“Moreover, with so many of the Banhu Realm, seeking each one out would inevitably bring complications. Only in this one can the opponent continuously reduce my power using the advantage of the period, even though it may force out the opponent’s strongest past self, it still doesn’t signify much.”

Tan Shuchang pondered, he needed an effective retaliation!

Thus, he exited the Long River of Time, returned to the True Immortal World, and with his power that had broken past his own peak, he re-evolved this realm.

This had nothing to do with “effective retaliation;” he simply couldn’t think of a better solution, so he did what was most advantageous for himself.

Suddenly, Tan Shuchang’s heart stirred slightly.

For on this day, in his True Immortal World, within the Immortal Soil, accompanied by the manifestation of a five-colored light, a petite figure abruptly appeared.

She had ascended.

“Eh? Where is this? Where did I ascend to?” A young girl’s figure appeared somewhat surprised; she widened her striking, clear black and white eyes, looking somewhat unsure.

Because she had followed the guidance left by that cursed demon cultivator, ascending in an orderly manner.

She was naturally Dongdong.

And this cursed demon cultivator was a legend evolved by Jia Wu Realm for Tan Shuchang. Of course, this was with the permission of Tan Shuchang’s strongest past self.

The Ascension Method was specifically created for her by his strongest past self. Naturally, with such a unique Ascension Method, as soon as she ascended, she came directly to the True Immortal World.

“Have you received the Three Certifications?” Tan Shuchang looked at Dongdong, somewhat surprised.

After all, he had never seen her Cultivation Realm achieve the Three Certifications before. This first meeting inevitably felt quite extraordinary.
