Chapter 408: 232. Already has an Immortal Position before Becoming an Immortal
Being treated as a stepping stone for a protagonist was an all too familiar ordeal for Tan Shuchang, considering it had been only sixteen years.
That year, he had decapitated his ntor’s head and descended from Black Heart Mountain.
Also that year, by sabotaging the Son of the Heavenly Mandate’s plan of the Disciple Sword Mountain, he had beco the predestined stepping stone for the Son of the Heavenly Mandate!
Intending to use him to make that Son of the Heavenly Mandate famous all over the world.
Unthinkably, after going around and around for sixteen years, having cultivated to the Triple Proof Realm and close to mastering the Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law, he was still about to face being treated as a “stepping stone”?
Such high and mighty arrangents by destiny truly made one feel utterly disgruntled from the bottom of one’s heart!
“Before becoming Immortal at the first proof, I was treated as a stepping stone. Now at the third proof, I’m still a stepping stone; so, haven’t these sixteen years of cultivation been in vain?”
Tan Shuchang’s lips curled, his mood was very sour.
“True Immortal descending to transcend tribulations…”
While pondering, Tan Shuchang suddenly recalled the words that the senior “Alu” girl had told him before she left a few years ago.
This senior “Alu” knew that he had killed the Secluded Spring Blood Demon and, as if intentionally, told him that when a True Immortal descends for transcendence, all True Immortals involved in this worldly calamity would be affected, barely able to exert much of their power.
And the amount of power these True Immortals, including this descending True Immortal, could exert is not much either!
If this descending True Immortal has not restored his True Immortal powers, then he wouldn’t be affected. But once he’d recovered his powers and yet had not ascended to the Primordial Heavenly Realm, then the pervasive tribulation aura in the world would still impact this descending True Immortal.
The aura of this great calamity, indeed treats everyone equitably!
It doesn’t differentiate between friends and foes!
“Who knows whether such True Immortals, who must descend to the mortal realm to face tribulations after erging from the Immortal Court, would also be similar to the Immortal Clan?” Tan Shuchang pondered silently.
Then, he restored the mountain patrol temple to its original state and descended from Mang Mountain Heavenly Ghost Ridge.
This refurbished mountain patrol temple, while restored to its original appearance, was decorated even more splendidly, which Tan Shuchang sowhat disliked.
Because his manifested indestructible blood form was now of a blood cyan color, not blood gold.
After leaving Mang Mountain, Tan Shuchang rushed without stopping to a small mortal country.
The Immortal Clan had already erged, and in this small mortal country, there was presently a Cultivator from the Immortal Clan. This Cultivator practiced Alchemy Dao, but it was not in the conventional sense but a thod involving the manipulation of alchemy.
This was a practice thod that siphoned people’s destinies and turned people into Spirit Pills.
Currently, this Cultivator from the Immortal Clan was naturally “practicing Alchemy.”
This Cultivator first widely spread his own reputation and always exhibited himself as affable, easy to talk to, and very friendly to ordinary Loose Cultivators.
As a mber of the Immortal Clan, unquestionably standing at the pinnacle in the Land of the Four Pillars based solely on his lineage, when such a Cultivator from the Immortal Clan showed such approachability towards lower-ranked cultivators, he swiftly won the approval and fondness of the Loose Cultivators of this small mortal country.
Afterwards, this Cultivator from the Immortal Clan spoke up for the lower-ranked cultivators on multiple occasions. While essentially not changing anything, he moved many lower-ranked cultivators deeply, with so even voluntarily offering up their lives for him.
Naturally, this precluded any dissent towards this Cultivator from the Immortal Clan.
Therefore, after a bit of ti, the Cultivators of this small mortal country all revered him as a deity.
And reaching this stage ant that it was ti to begin Alchemy.
The thod of this manipulation alchemy was unique. It neither required an Alchemy Furnace nor various supportive Spiritual dicines or treasures.
Because both the main and auxiliary dicines could be obtained from people.
Moreover, once Alchemy began, it required no one else to constantly watch over, as the cultivators of the small mortal country who started “turning into pills” would diligently refine themselves.
The more they endured hardships and diligently cultivated, the more they trusted this Cultivator from the Immortal Clan, the more they acknowledged that this Cultivator was inherently noble and naturally deserved to rule over them… the faster the process of Alchemy would progress.
Conversely, it would naturally be slower.
Although humans are inherently lazy, not everyone in this small mortal country was diligent, but this Cultivator from the Immortal Clan did not care at all about those who were lazy.
Because whether diligent or lazy, the eventual outco for these cultivators would be the sa.
Unless they fundantally didn’t believe him and took action, they might have a slim chance to escape this ordeal.
Tan Shuchang was also familiar with this small mortal country, nad Seven Maiden Country. At this mont in Seven Maiden Country, from royalty and high officials down to bottom-tier Loose Cultivators, they had all beco both Alchemy Furnaces and both main and auxiliary dicines themselves.
There were indeed so who did not believe, but such people were ultimately in the minority, likely amounting to less than a hundred thousand in the entire country.
And among these hundred thousand, those who dared to express their perspectives to others and persistently believed in their own views tallied up to less than ten thousand.
Because when those around one are all in agreent, to still maintain one’s self and hold on to a contrary belief requires great courage and perseverance.
The secular world is complicated, and many people from birth to death may never dare to express themselves even once. Because they fear being wrong, fear revealing their shortcomings, fear being ridiculed, fear being retaliated against, and so forth…
