Tan Shuchang cultivated for four years, twelve months, and fourteen days.
Since the day I slew my forr master, today I rejoice once more upon eting another master, with whom I've had a most delightful conversation. Alas, due to the traditions of the Sacred Gate, I had no choice but to also slay this master...
Yet, with this master gone, I have encountered another two seniors.
Though these two seniors ca with great fury, intending to execute here, upon witnessing my cultivation level reach that of eight hundred years, they had no choice but to change their attitudes.
When I clenched my fist, whoever it may be in this world had to speak to with due respect.
And these two seniors, truly of significant repute, told nurous secrets. It's just a pity that much of it was quite fragnted. Could it be that these seniors' cultivation is as disjointed as their storytelling?
The Yin energy intertwines with Yang energy, from life unto death, and from death back to life.
...
This was an unfinished diary entry which Tan Shuchang later added to.
"It seems these ancestors of the Immortal Sect are getting ready to descend," Tan Shuchang thought before taking out a flattened pill-like object, leaving a ssage for a certain young girl, warning her to be cautious of her ancestor.
Although it was just a brief encounter, and what he saw was rely an incarnation, Tan Shuchang couldn't really discern anything specific, but for no apparent reason, he felt sothing.
These ancestors were not the Immortal-like figures he had imagined.
Above the realm of True Cultivation is the Immortal Realm. And the reason why this second realm is called "Immortal Cultivation" is because, in this stage, one begins to gradually tap into the powers of the Immortals.
The immortality, eternal youth, the cyclic Dao Fruit following one through reincarnations, the creation of mysterious wonders with the power of heaven and earth, transforming lotus roots into flesh, making true a painted moon, enabling one to share fine wine above the moon, and with a stroke of a pen, altering rivers and mountains...
All kinds of Divine Skills are wondrously enigmatic, and the presence of a cultivator will always be accompanied by spirits reflecting the mysterious images of the Dao.
Thus, the saying about obtaining the three certificates approaching an Immortal.
As for the future landscapes of the Immortals, Tan Shuchang didn't know, for there were not many records about such Immortals in the Jiawu Realm. Although there were many grandiose descriptions about the Ancestor of the Dao who imparted the teachings, such descriptions are fine to glance at but not to be taken seriously.
Shortly after transmitting this ssage, Tan Shuchang received a reply.
"Aren't you going to sleep so late at night?"
Those who cultivate in the Jiawu Realm do not achieve eternal life, and most cultivators stop at two jiazi, hence many of them keep a daily routine no different from ordinary people.
"With eight hundred years of cultivation power, why would I need sleep?" Tan Shuchang asked with a smile.
From that flattened pill-like object ca a sound like the grinding of teeth, crunch, crunch, continuously.
"What's the matter?" Tan Shuchang knowingly inquired.
"There are rats." It was apparent even without looking that on the other end of this communicating device, there must be a small girl with a darkened face, wearing a lemon-eating expression.
"Although we cultivators seek harmony with the universe, it is wise to eliminate rats as soon they co near," Tan Shuchang kindly helped the young girl cover up the truth.
This is called being understanding.
"Got it," Dongdong replied in a brusque tone.
"Considering you've told all this, does it an the ancestors from the Heavenly Sword Mansion have no intention of descending?" Tan Shuchang asked, for when a person tells soone else sothing quite important and the other directly skips over it, it indicates the person either doesn't care about the issue or there is a hidden story.
"It's not that they have no intention to descend, we simply can't contact them, and it's very likely sothing has happened. Because a long ti ago, the ancestors severed the blood connection with us..." Dongdong voluntarily started telling Tan Shuchang about this matter, sharing everything she had learned from her parents and grandparents.
Tan Shuchang now understood why the Heavenly Sword Mansion had actively ford an alliance with him.
What exactly had happened that caused all the ancestors of the Heavenly Sword Mansion to encounter trouble? And furthermore, why did they sever the bloodline before their mishaps?
Were they worried that soone would be able to hunt them down to the Jiawu Realm?
"With eight hundred years of cultivation power, why haven't you achieved the first certificate yet?" Dongdong asked, puzzled. Was he just pretending to be profound in front of her?
She admitted that indeed this guy had managed to impress her.
Because even if she took all the treasures that could enhance cultivation power and gave them to her, even with instantaneous integration, she would only be able to reach three hundred years of cultivation power.
That was her limit.
Cultivation power could never be infinitely increased!
"Haven't I already explained that with three hundred years of cultivation power, most of the price to receive the first certificate can be exempted. But to achieve it, according to my estimate, one would need a thousand years of cultivation power," Tan Soone actually got this from the person in the Dream Immortal Sleeping Stone, but he was the one practicing this theory.
"So with another two hundred years of cultivation power, you will achieve the first certificate?" Dongdong didn't expect him to be serious.
"Actually, it's one hundred sixty-eight years," Tan Shuchang corrected.
Dongdong: "..."
Was this Demon Cultivator even human? Were these the qualifications of a cultivator? Even Long Zhangyuan, adorned with the title of Son of the Heavenly Mandate, wasn't this outrageous.
Could it be that by committing patricide, one gains so sort of hidden boost?
With a hand propping her cheek, the young girl seriously pondered upon this, for she too had a master she couldn't stand.
If this Demon Cultivator could slay his master, why couldn't she?
And upon this thought, the girl stunned for a mont.
"Wait, you warned to be careful of the descent of the ancestors from the Heavenly Sword Mansion. Does that an the ancestors of the other Immortal Sects have already descended?" Dongdong realized this point only now.
