“Is it that difficult? Just knock down a few who have reached the Banhu Realm, and it’s done,” Tan Shuchang said. After all, having cultivated to the Banhu Realm, what’s the point of talking about seniority and balance?

“So, how would you feel if I knocked you down a peg?” That voice snorted coldly.

And with that voice falling, a terrifying murderous intent surged from beyond the heavens, from the earth beneath, from the void, and from the Long River of Time, unceasingly gushing forth.

In just an instant, it enveloped Tan Shuchang.

This was the authority of a Fake Immortal King!

And not just any Fake Immortal King could wield such power. There were seven Fake Immortal Kings, but only one could marshal such force.

But at that moment, another power emerged, feeble as it was. Incredibly, the moment it appeared, the power of the Heavenly Fall Immortal Venerable had to recede.

“You’re lucky that there are remnants of an Immortal King’s presence here. However, in another ten thousand years, this period will come to an end. At that time, the Long River of Time will take everything away, rendering this place part of the past. And you, who are in the Banhu Realm of that past era, will be the first to be knocked down from the Immortal Venerable realm!”

As the voice spoke, its power had already retreated.

Even the most formidable Fake Immortal King is no match for an Immortal King at the third step of the Banhu Realm. Just because they carry the prefix ‘Fake’ doesn’t mean they have the right to contend with the power of an Immortal King.

Tan Shuchang watched as the figure departed.

His gaze was serene.

Although a formidable enemy loomed and he only had ten thousand years left, to date…he hadn’t even cultivated for a full thousand years. After ten thousand years, he might well be at the third step!

A bunch of trash that couldn’t keep up with his ten years of cultivation despite their countless years.

Then, Tan Shuchang entered the Long River of Time, starting to gather information about the other party. Anyone who reached the Banhu Realm would inevitably leave their mark in the Long River of Time.

Soon enough, Tan Shuchang learned quite a bit of information.

This Fake Immortal King was known as the Falling Sky Immortal Venerable. There wasn’t much concrete information about the Falling Sky Immortal Venerable, but there was no shortage of rumors.

It was said that this person was once lovers with the Fallen Sword Immortal Venerable. But there were also rumors that the Falling Sky Immortal Venerable had been unrequitedly in love with the Fallen Sword Immortal Venerable. Such rumors had long circulated in the Long River of Time, known to many who reached the Banhu Realm.

And this also meant that the rumor wasn’t accidentally spread; it was deliberately disseminated.

After all, with the opposite party’s realm, suppressing such news wouldn’t be difficult.

“He’s quite a brooder.”

Tan Shuchang’s mouth twitched. But how did this lovelorn individual reach the second step of the Banhu Realm?

“Thank you, my friend!”

At that time, Shi Xin came to express his gratitude. The once World Ending Demon now had eyes filled with rage. He had just broken through, only to be nearly demoted, and how could that not upset him? If he were sure he couldn’t defeat the other, he would have already chased them into the Long River of Time.

“My friend, how should we proceed with showing goodwill?” Shi Xin asked with some worry.

“Start by cultivating for ten thousand years,” Tan Shuchang said offhandedly.

Shi Xin was taken aback by the remark, but he had no choice but to do so, going off to cultivate in hopes that after ten thousand years, he’d become a powerful force and at the very least, not be suppressed by others as he was today.

And Tan Shuchang also began his cultivation.

However, his tranquility wasn’t feigned–it was genuine serenity. For a being who wasn’t even a thousand years old, ten thousand years was undoubtedly an incredibly long time. Thus, Tan Shuchang would always cultivate for a while before checking on a certain young girl’s cultivation progress. Without saying much, he’d simply gesture towards her with his finger lightly pressing down.

Dongdong, naturally, was exasperated by this.

She wasn’t foolish; she could clearly understand the purpose behind his gesture.

“You’ve become a True Immortal, and you still hold such pettiness?” Finally, one day, Dongdong couldn’t help but ask Tan Shuchang.

“There are those who have become Fake Immortal Kings and are still so petty,” he replied.
