Chapter 535: 289, Mysterious Tilines, Strange Master-Disciple Relationship_2 Chapter 535: 289, Mysterious Tilines, Strange Master-Disciple Relationship_2 He hesitated ever so slightly in his gaze,
because the words he left unsaid were only partly true; he had been drawn by Dongdong’s innate talent for Sword Dao, yet that was rely one of the possibilities. There was another reason he might have co—for the realm of his True Immortality.
Now, not yet being a figure of Heaven’s Authority’s Righteous Law, it was wise to avoid the sharp edge of those True Immortals aligned with Heaven’s Authority.
To swim against the tide of the Long River of ti was not to engage in strife.
His purpose was to transform himself, to forge an unobstructed pathway for his journey towards the ultimate mastery of Heaven’s Authority, and in doing so, free himself from the gaze of so being within the Banhu Realm.
Tan Shuchang took the initiative to steer clear of conflict, and thus those True Immortals of Heaven’s Authority’s Righteous Law who descended upon hearing the rumors, found nothing for their efforts.
And so, as ti flowed like water, it passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, a door suddenly appeared before Tan Shuchang, and he couldn’t help letting out a sigh.
...
For his cultivation had not yet reached perfection.
What he sought to break through remained unbroken.
However, there was no choice but to return.
Thus, Tan Shuchang stepped through the door.
In an instant, those thirty-odd years of cultivation ti vanished into nothingness, but the fruits of those thirty years of cultivation remained with Tan Shuchang.
The cultivation level of the Extre of Heavenly Gang,
the exceedingly refined Shenshu Celestial,
and—the true realm of immortality amidst surging blood waves!
“Eh?” At the sa ti, a voice of astonishnt arose beside Tan Shuchang.
Tan Shuchang looked over.
He saw a little girl with delicate features standing beside him, wearing a green long dress, surveying the surroundings with wide-eyed wonder.
And with just this glance, Tan Shuchang realized sothing was amiss.
The girl was undoubtedly Dongdong,
his childhood friend, one of his few friends.
But this was not the Dongdong he rembered.
For the way the girl looked at him now was no different from when they had first t.
“Who are you?”
Sure enough, Dongdong’s first words confird Tan Shuchang’s suspicion.
Dongdong tilted her little face up and looked at Tan Shuchang, seemingly very curious.
She did not seem scared.
In fact, she smoothly put Tan Shuchang in an awkward position.
“Are you an Immortal? Did you bring here to take as your disciple? Master, please accept your disciple’s bow.” No sooner had she finished speaking than her head had already touched the ground.
A mixture of emotion and confusion filled Tan Shuchang: “…”
The feeling was odd because the little girl actually wanted to take him as her master.
And confusion, naturally, because he could not understand what was the situation with the girl now?
Are there now two Dongdongs?
Or after stepping through that door, had he returned to his own childhood?
But quickly, Tan Shuchang dismissed this second speculation, for he now saw, within what seed like scales made of clouds, bodies constantly “falling” down.
These were corpses with extrely grueso deaths.
Their attire was that of battle, and after falling, they did not crash directly to the ground, but vanished in mid-air.
Then, these bodies fell with a peculiar regularity, eventually becoming a creature with strange rules.
Known as—Battlefield Corpse Binding.
Such creatures were dood never to find a path to revival, for they were the result of countless beings from the previous world, their bodies, souls, and powers entwined in death.
Entangled with each other, tornting one another endlessly.
Upon witnessing this scene so characteristic of the world, Tan Shuchang imdiately realized he had returned to the fourth layer of the Five Layers World.
The corpses he saw, if nothing went amiss, had fallen from the third layer.
Although the Five Layers World was unique, and there existed a Heavenly Realm above these five worlds, these worlds were orderly yet chaotic. Bloody slaughter occurred incessantly.
It was precisely because there were so many corpses falling from the layer above that this fourth layer was so bizarre.
The path of cultivation had beco almost demonized!
Tan Shuchang shifted his gaze; he then looked at the little girl. Since he hadn’t returned to his own childhood, did that an there were now two Dongdongs?
Thus he pondered for a while, a thread of his consciousness entering the True Immortal World.
As the half-life Blood Pool evolved into the True Immortal World, the benefits for Tan Shuchang were once again as strong as when he first encountered it. At that ti, Tan Shuchang was nothing but an untrained mortal, and one could imagine how great the Blood Pool’s benefits were for him.
And the benefits now were equally imnse.
The most obvious was that the “Minor Immortal Realm”, which was completely undetectable in the Five Layers World, had once again appeared within Tan Shuchang’s senses.
With the return of a thread of consciousness to the “Minor Immortal Realm”, Tan Shuchang imdiately understood that he could escape the Five Layers World at any ti.
Yet, such an escape was futile.
Back in the Land of the Four Pillars, he had been captured directly. Now, he might escape, but it was very likely that he would be captured again. This was because Daoist Shi Xin, the Ancestor of the Dao, had ntioned when leaving him a ssage that the number of Heaven’s Authority’s Extre in this place might even exceed the Ten Desolations.
The Ten Desolations had six Heaven’s Authority’s Extre Ancient Immortal Ancestors, and here in the Banhu Realm, it was quite possible that there were seven or eight sitting under its jurisdiction.
Becoming Heaven’s Authority’s Extre was difficult, but reaching the Banhu Realm was undoubtedly even harder!
And when a Banhu Realm entity wanted to nurture a Heaven’s Authority’s Extre, over the long years, breeding three to five was the bare minimum.
Even if one could not nurture them oneself, attracting several Heaven’s Authority’s Extre to join was not impossible.
Therefore, Tan Shuchang stealthily sent this thread of consciousness to search for traces of the little girl. Then, to Tan Shuchang’s surprise, yet sowhat expectedly, sothing happened.
There was no little girl nad Dongdong in the “Minor Immortal Realm”!
Even the traces of the cultivation she had once practiced had vanished without a trace.
Fortunately, the five original Ghost Path True Immortals from the Land of Netherworld who ascended first and rged into the “Minor Immortal Realm” still rembered that there had been such a little girl.
And several magical treasures that the little girl once possessed were still left in the “Minor Immortal Realm.”
“Ti line…”
For a mont, Tan Shuchang’s reverence for the tiline reached its zenith.
And beyond reverence, Tan Shuchang was more astonished!
He traversed the Long River of ti in reverse, and this little girl, with whom he had the deepest connection, seed to have also reversed along with him. Or rather, to a certain extent, the original her followed him through that segnt of the tiline.
Thinking of this, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but feel his mind was in a complete ss.
Although it was not difficult to understand.
But precisely because it was not difficult to understand, his previously self-proclaid correct insights into the tiline were suddenly rendered useless.
After all, it was impossible to judge whether they were correct or not.
“Daoist Shi Xin said that the starting point of the tiline is the Banhu Realm, and his words are indeed true,” Tan Shuchang marveled in his heart. Then, he transferred the magical treasures that the little girl once possessed through this thread of consciousness into the True Immortal World.
With a casual wave of his hand and a few traces of Spirit Light Residue, several magical treasures arranged themselves before the little girl.
“Are they all for ? Thank you, Master!”
Seeing this, the little girl was uncontrollably joyful, and she called out “Master” very crisply and sweetly.
Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang’s expression couldn’t help but beco odd.
After pondering for a mont, he said with earnest gravity, “You need not cling to calling ‘Master.’ In so days, you might deeply regret today’s events.”
“How could that be!”
Clutching the treasures in her hand, especially the Sword of Heaven, the little girl’s smile almost stretched behind her ears.
“Then, as you wish…”
Tan Shuchang did not say more. He rely gazed deeply at the little girl once again.
