Chapter 219: 145, Demon Lord, come, please kill my family’s ancestor_2

Originally, Tan Shuchang had planned to make several more trips and empty this Sword Temple, but now that the Sword Temple turned out to be an upper cultivation cave, all he needed to do was to find the control hub of this upper cultivation cave and completely integrate it.

However, after searching several times, Tan Shuchang was unable to find that control hub.

This Sword Temple’s upper cultivation cave did indeed have a control hub, as it was created as a base for the sect, so how could it not be equipped with one? But since the Sword Temple had mostly ascended three hundred years ago, and the remaining five people each had their own agendas, they first split the key to the control hub and then, feeling insecure, they simply destroyed the control hub.

But that didn’t stump Tan Shuchang, he manifested his immortal blood form and then summoned the Blood Pool to descend, filling the entire upper cultivation cave with blood.

It didn’t take long for Tan Shuchang to find the “Blood Refinement Mark” within this upper cultivation cave.

It was left behind by the person who had refined the upper cultivation cave in the past.

Although the owner of the “Blood Refinement Mark” was still around, since they were from a different realm, Tan Shuchang quickly integrated the “Blood Refinement Mark” and placed his own “Blood Refinement Mark” at the same location.

Because there was no control hub, Tan Shuchang couldn’t directly control this upper cultivation cave and take it away, but since he had imprinted the “Blood Refinement Mark,” he could now drag this upper cultivation cave into the Blood Pool.

Through the Blood Pool, he could forcibly take this upper cultivation cave away!

Soon, the Sword Temple was left empty, nothing but a shell.

By that time, Tan Shuchang had already returned to Black Heart Mountain with his upper cultivation cave, and he began integrating the entire upper cultivation cave into the Earthly Sha Qi of Black Heart Mountain.

Installing such an upper cultivation cave required either Heavenly Gang Qi or Earthly Sha Qi.

Heavenly Gang Qi was in the heavens, and although Tan Shuchang’s cultivation meant he could certainly find enough Heavenly Gang Qi, without a place to install this upper cultivation cave, even Heavenly Gang Qi wouldn’t be much use.

Without an installation location, if two incarnations of ancient masters or a single verification from the Ghost Path happened nearby, the resulting changes in the natural spiritual energy could be enough to send this upper cultivation cave adrift to who knows where.

Then, he would have to decide whether to deal with the opponent first or to go look for a home, which would certainly be a headache for a while.

As the upper cultivation cave absorbed the Earthly Sha, it gradually settled down, and the overall gloomy aesthetic of Black Heart Mountain began to dissipate. The most obvious sign was the disappearance of the black winds.

The vegetation on the mountain also noticeably became more vibrant. Especially those chives and garlic cared for by Tan Shuchang, they turned much greener all of a sudden.

In earlier years, his main goal in planting these was for the garlic, but many of his fellow sect members from noble backgrounds found the smell of garlic too strong and distasteful.

Therefore, Tan Shuchang also planted chives, since at that time he had just begun cultivating.

He planted these to test whether he was affected by garlic or not.

Back when he was with the Tan family, he needed a proper reason to do many things, plus he had no chance to approach the kitchen until he was kidnapped to Black Heart Mountain–only then did he have such an opportunity.

As for the results, obviously, Tan Someone had thought too much at that time.

And after installing the upper cultivation cave properly, Tan Shuchang took out the Chaotic Life Dharma Bead and placed it in the central position of the cave’s energy conduit.

He planned to use this sentient treasure temporarily in lieu of a control hub to suppress the entire upper cultivation cave.

Only at this step did the upper cultivation cave truly become Tan Shuchang’s. With a thought, he summoned tens of thousands of “Blood Spirits” and had these “Blood Spirits” clean up the upper cultivation cave.

The “Blood Spirits” didn’t possess spiritual intellect, but they had a certain logic to their actions. As long as Tan Shuchang issued a command, they would follow it.

Especially after Tan Shuchang reached the verification of immortality, the behavior logic of these “Blood Spirits” became even stronger.

They could even make their own judgments in some situations.

With tens of thousands of “Blood Spirits” at work, Tan Shuchang quickly learned the specifics of the treasure collection in the upper cultivation cave. There were one hundred thousand volumes of books, tens of thousands of various natural treasures, and no fewer than a thousand magic artifacts, most of which were top-quality flying swords. But the methods for refining these magic artifacts were included in those one hundred thousand volumes.

As for the Spiritual Medicine planted in this upper cultivation cave, since the “Blood Spirits” couldn’t discern what they all were, and Tan Shuchang wasn’t very proficient in Spiritual Medicine either, he could only have the “Blood Spirits” broadly catalog the distribution of these medicines.

“This trip to the Sword Temple has unexpectedly given me the foundation to start my own sect!”

After looking through various records, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but sigh and then began to refine the four corpse ghosts.

He never left meat that had fallen into his lap uneaten overnight.

Although the four corpse ghosts were all at the level of Ghost Path verification, and Tan Shuchang was refining them all at once, being in the Blood Pool made them helpless, and in the end, they were all refined.

And when Tan Shuchang, in his immortal blood form, felt the power of the Lotus Platform, the insights from his previous enlightenment of the “Twenty-Four Seasons” instantly surged.

After this burst of inspiration passed, Tan Shuchang was surprised to discover that his Taoist practice had increased from one hundred and one years to one hundred and sixty-one years.

It was a direct addition of one full cycle!

“The increase in Taoist practice isn’t a fixed value but is based on my most recent enlightenment?” Realizing this, Tan Shuchang immediately had a seamlessly integrated plan in mind.
