"A nonsensical beast."
The Book Mountain Immortal Sect stood erect, resembling a to set upright and slightly opened.
At the entrance at the base of this Book Mountain, there was a scene of resplendent splendor; as far as the eye could see, everything was cast in gold. There were golden steps, golden pavilions, and golden lofts.
This was in line with the saying, "In books, one can find houses of gold."
Among these golden structures, there were handso young n and beautiful young won, dressed in the nial service attire of the Book Mountain, standing in various places.
This naturally matched the saying, "In books, one can find ladies as fair as jade."
However, the person who uttered such a phrase at this mont within the Book Mountain Immortal Sect was not one of these youths, but rather a cultivator with white hair like an elder's, yet with a face as youthful as a young man's.
This cultivator, youthful in appearance, was clad in a purple-gold robe, handso in feature, with eyes that sparkled like the stars. However, within those eyes was nothing but endless indifference. He gave Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo a fleeting glance, then with a re flick of his wrist, he brushed off two blood-red human shadows from their bodies.
Then a cleansing breeze swirled, and before the two unstable blood shadow incarnations could regain their footing, they disintegrated into fragnts, eventually leaving no trace.
This was a cultivator with Three Certifications.
His na was Bai Sanqi!
Not only was he famous in the spiritual realms, but even in the seventy-two domains around the South Gate Pillar, he was well-known, regarded as the one from the Book Mountain Immortal Sect who, after the Purple-Gold Immortal, had the best chance of becoming an immortal within a hundred years.
He was far superior to the ancestors of the Sword Seeking Mountain, the Supre Clarity Monastery, and the Western Tuo Mountain who had ascended, belonging to the sa tier as the Lotus Moon Fairy.
And this scene, undoubtedly, terrified Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo to the point that their faces turned ashen.
They had just been brought into the Book Mountain Immortal Sect and had encountered this individual. After being glanced at, he took action imdiately. However, his words provided so comfort to Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo.
Because clearly, he wasn't reprimanding them.
Moreover, they didn't even realize when they had been possessed by such demonic entities! If it weren't for the removal of these two bloody shadows, they wouldn't know what would have happened to them!
After Bai Sanqi had disposed of these twin blood shadow incarnations, he didn't say anything more, and left directly.
However, even if Bai Sanqi didn't ask anything, the person who brought Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo over couldn't just let it be.
"Two young friends, such blood shadows clearly bear the mark of demon thods. Have you offended anyone?" This cultivator's question was rather tactful.
After all, one should not ignore the aning behind the facade.
Although these two ca from the Mortal Realm, behind them stood a figure suspected to be a True Immortal!
Upon hearing this, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo both fell silent for a mont because they already had a suspicion in their hearts.
Thus, the two of them relayed the matter concerning Tan Shuchang.
Upon realizing they had accidentally arrived in a strange world where True Immortals existed, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo decided to temporarily set aside their prejudices; although not to the extent of mutual support, they both vowed not to stab each other in the back.
"Such a demon cultivator in your original world?" The three cultivators of Book Mountain were imdiately astonished. To create demon thods and transform into a pool of blood, to kill a host of ancestors who had ascended and returned, the sheer malice of this demon was beyond their imagination!
But at the sa ti, they couldn't help but be skeptical because the demon cultivator nad Tan Shuchang, as described by Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo, demonstrated power that did not match the stage of Longevity with One Certification, having already reached the level of Union with Two Certifications!
At the level of Union with Two Certifications, one's own path is perfectly aligned, and at this stage, a cultivator's power would surge imnsely.
Bai Sanqi himself, when he was at the Union with Two Certifications stage, had a surge in power that nearly rivaled that of a True Immortal!
However, this surge in power from Union was not stable.
After the power surge, one might continue to surge, or it might cause a steep decline in one's own power, plumting to rock bottom, or even becoming worse off than those cultivators who had not yet exhausted their lifespan.
Of course, after falling for a while, it wasn't impossible for one's power to surge anew.
Whether one remains at the peak or plumts to a valley depends entirely on the cultivator's own enlightennt.
Because cultivators at this stage are overly mysterious, powerful enough to rival True Immortals at their peak, yet weak enough to be inferior to those with unending lifespans at their lowest. Thus, in so Immortal Sects, there's a specific term for this realm—Nirvana.
However, cultivators within Nirvana, even if they can battle True Immortals, are not considered strong, for glory is fleeting, and one should not view a single mont as eternity.
Only by stepping out of Nirvana and leaving one's mark on the path of Immortality with Three Certifications is one truly strong!

The ancestors of the Supre Clarity Monastery, Sword Seeking Mountain, Western Tuo Mountain, and other Immortal Sects may have jumped from One Certification directly to Three, gaining the fundantal traits of the latter. However, among those with Union of Two Certifications in the Land of the Four Pillars, many could easily kill these ancestors.
At this mont, the three skeptical cultivators of Book Mountain did not reveal their doubts, but instead, they organized the information and sent it to the Sanqi Book House.
The Sanqi Book House was where Bai Sanqi usually ditated and reflected.
Just because Bai Sanqi didn't ask didn't an he didn't want to know. And even if Bai Sanqi really didn't want to know, sending the information over couldn't hurt; after all, it's not like he would be scolded, right?
"Master, why bother looking into the detailed origins of such a common demon cultivator?" Inside the Sanqi Book House, besides Bai Sanqi, there was also a young girl.
