Chapter 572: 308, Suspected Inheritance-like Petty Mindedness_2 Chapter 572: 308, Suspected Inheritance-like Petty Mindedness_2 And Tan Shuchang only felt that this young girl was truly admirable, pursuing the Banhu Realm, and it wasn’t just any Banhu Realm, but the second step of the Timeless Realm. Even his mentor, Daoist Shi Xin, would probably not dare to entertain such a thought.

If it weren’t for Tan Shuchang’s sufficient opportunities and quick comprehension, having successively attained the three-fold enlightenment of “The world is always a cycle,” “Water can carry a boat and also capsize it,” and “Too much is as bad as too little,” he would likely still be at the initial stage of the first step, slowly groping his way forward.

Then, without revealing anything, Tan Shuchang’s true body departed, leaving only an illusion behind.

However, although it was just an illusion, it was still the illusion of one who had reached the second step of the Banhu Realm, thus it possessed unimaginable power.

At the very least, beings like the Great World’s Green Flood Dragon, the First Demon, and his mentor, the Ancient Immortal Ancestor of the Sky Pillar’s Extreme, were unable to harm this illusion.

The only one who could pose a threat to an illusion was someone like Daoist Shi Xin, who held the Extreme of Heaven’s Authority.

Tan Shuchang was distinctly aware that his mentor, Daoist Shi Xin, was already at the final threshold, and the achievement of the Banhu Realm was within reach.

And the Ancestor of the Dao, Shi Xin, did not keep Tan Shuchang waiting long; within roughly a hundred years, an earth-shaking aura burst out from the Land of the Four Pillars, and then this world, which had been turned upside-down for who knows how many years, finally returned to its original state.

All order was being rectified, and every place that had become chaotic was, one after another, returning to tranquility.

“Ha ha ha!”

As the Ancestor of the Dao, Shi Xin, emerged, his whole being appeared exceedingly excited.

He had finally achieved it!

And as the Ancestor of the Dao, Shi Xin, achieved the Banhu Realm, a power far surpassing Tan Shuchang suddenly descended upon this period.

Its vastness was like the sea, sending tremors through everything.

Daoist Shi Xin hadn’t yet reacted when he was suppressed by this power.

Fortunately, at that moment, Tan Shuchang stepped forward, drawing away almost ninety percent of the force, allowing Daoist Shi Xin to recover. Otherwise, he would have just achieved the Dao only to regress in his realm, and would have had to keep the Karma Venerable company.

“Banhu Realm, second step?” An exclamation accompanied the voice that had suddenly appeared, even this high entity, a Fake Immortal King, was shocked at the moment.

Because within a certain period, it was one thing for three Banhu Realm beings to appear, but one of them being of the second step of the Timeless Realm!

Was the Banhu Realm that easy to cultivate?

“Daoist friend, there has been an ancient rule stating that, within a given period, there cannot be three Banhu Realm beings. And now, within this space-time, three Banhu Realm beings have already been born!”

That voice took the initiative to explain, as Tan Shuchang’s display warranted serious attention.

After all, this could very well be a new Fake Immortal King!

“Daoist friend, you are mistaken; there are only two,” Tan Shuchang said.

“The Karma Venerable is ultimately going to come back,” the voice replied.

“Daoist friend, you misunderstand; when I say two, I mean there are only two,” Tan Shuchang repeated his previous words, but this time they held a different meaning.

“Do you intend to eradicate the Karma Venerable completely?” the voice’s tone intensified instantly.

“It’s already been done,” Tan Shuchang said, and as he spoke, he willed the Authority of Karma Fire that he had obtained to be entirely transferred onto his sole disciple, Zhi.

And with the transfer of the Authority of Karma Fire, Zhi instantly grasped the key to the Karmic Fire.

Without a stir here, in the Five Layers World, the concealed Banhu Realm Honored Position began to establish a connection with Zhi.

“Daoist friend, your actions are too excessive!” The voice suddenly turned chillingly cold.

Normally, reaching the Banhu Realm wouldn’t anger it, but now, it was unavoidably somewhat wrathful. Because what Tan Shuchang did was done right under its nose.

This was a disregard of its presence.

In addition, Tan Shuchang’s guess about his only disciple was not wrong. The source of this sudden descending power was one of the Banhu Realm beings that Zhi had once offended.

“Daoist friend, having chosen to help him, don’t blame this Immortal King for being ignoring old ties,” the voice continued, after all, Tan Shuchang’s actions clearly intended to aid Zhi’s ascension.

“So it turns out that my disciple’s enemy is you, Daoist friend!” Tan Shuchang realized this upon hearing the words, but it didn’t matter to him.

After all, the Karma Venerable would not be able to return.

That was something he would not allow.

And at present, the only one capable of rightly inheriting the Authority of Karma Fire was Zhi. His daughter, Zhi’s mother, and Dongdong weren’t suitable.

Especially the latter, who had the weakest cultivation and was the most lackluster, possessing nothing firm except for her mouth.

“Daoist friend, by violating the ancient and modern rules, a day might come when it’s not only this Immortal King descending upon you,” said the voice, yet it did not answer Tan Shuchang’s statement.

After all, it was a case of the strong bullying the weak, which would sound bad if spoken out loud.

“How come I’ve never learned about this rule from the Long River of time?” Tan Shuchang asked, feeling somewhat surprised after thinking for a bit. He had visited the Long River of time several times but never acquired this information.

Even if the first step of the Banhu Realm did not qualify to know this, given his current level of cultivation, he should qualify now.

And if even the second step didn’t qualify to learn about it, what kind of rule was that?

“This is a rule established by seven Fake Immortal Kings, including myself, to maintain the stability of the Long River of time. After all, excess is not good; too many Banhu Realm beings emerging at this time will inevitably lead to a reduced number in the future.”
