Chapter 344: 201, Three Diaries_2

Between the rise of the rabbit and the fall of the falcon, this suddenly erupted battle came to an end, as though the cultivators from Silver Dragon Dao Palace had appeared and then vanished without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Long Xinzi was naturally stunned.

Although these murderous extraterrestrial ghosts didn’t possess all three certifications, and he could suppress them himself, to annihilate them so effortlessly was absolutely impossible.

If these extraterrestrial ghosts were so easy to deal with, they, the first-class cultivators with triple certifications, wouldn’t have needed to find another path to immortality.

But what did he see now?

This young dual-certification union cultivator who saved him had not even shown his face, yet he had annihilated all those extraterrestrial ghosts.

Thus, having collected his thoughts, Long Xinzi believed this young dual-certification union cultivator was indicating his intentions to him, so he quietly awaited the arrival of the other.

Then, Long Xinzi realized he had miscalculated again.

The young dual-certification union cultivator had no intention of appearing before him, only continued to direct his aura outward.

Just like that, several silvery-white streams of light arrived.

A palm made of vital energy suddenly took shape!

Then it struck down heavily.

This time, although there were some minor differences in detail from the previous occasion, the ultimate outcome did not change at all–the bodies of the cultivators from the Silver Dragon Dao Palace were mysteriously transformed and then carried away by a surge of blood.

Witnessing this scene again, Long Xinzi: “…”

Long Xinzi fell silent.

For he had realized that tying him up simply here was the opponent’s plan to use him as bait to lure out those extraterrestrial ghosts.

And it was quite effective.

However, in the following times, more cultivators from Silver Dragon Dao Palace arrived, among them occasionally a few dual-certification cultivators working for the Silver Dragon Dao Palace.

All these cultivators, without exception, were left only as corpses.

And as soon as the bodies underwent their mysterious transformation, they were swept away by a sudden surge of blood.

Seeing this shifted Long Xinzi from silence to shock, and eventually into numbness. Because by the end, Long Xinzi did not need this young dual-certification union cultivator to take action; he voluntarily exposed himself.

And indeed, the one who understands oneself the best is always oneself.

Long Xinzi’s move to expose himself immediately caused the number of arriving cultivators from Silver Dragon Dao Palace to surge, from groups arriving initially to more than ten, or even twenty or thirty people at once.

But soon, no matter how Long Xinzi exposed himself, he could no longer attract the cultivators from Silver Dragon Dao Palace.

This was not because the cultivators had become cautious, but because the “extraterrestrial ghosts” currently existing within the first-class realm had all been fished out by someone using this method.

“Take care, Dao friend!”

Seeing that he could no longer draw out any cultivators chasing after Dao Fruits of Silver Dragon Dao Palace, Tan Shuchang could only appear and then bow with clasped hands in thanks to Long Xinzi.

“Take care, Dao friend!” Long Xinzi immediately shouted, and without allowing Tan Shuchang a chance to speak, he continued, “The first-class realm is a place of ill omen. If you can leave, it would be best to do so. If you cannot leave, then perhaps you would sit down and listen to the Divine Skills I practice and the celestial gifts I have once received.”

“Then thank you, Dao friend.” Tan Shuchang said.

On hearing this, Long Xinzi thought that this young dual-certification union cultivator was willing to accept his heritage and was about to sigh in relief, but unexpectedly, the young cultivator in front of him vanished into thin air.

Long Xinzi: “…”

Able to leave?

After a moment of silence, Long Xinzi then struggled free of the rope around him.

For it was really just simply tied.

It even had a bow tied.

It was unclear why those celestial spirits from beyond couldn’t see through such an obvious perfunctory act, but they all genuinely believed he was tied up, and one by one, they swooped down, hoping to achieve the leading contribution.

“The celestial spirits have been annihilated, and although I don’t have many years left, I can still activate my contingency plan and awaken the will of heaven,” said Long Xinzi, who had unexpectedly regained some vigour due to Tan Shuchang’s incredible actions, so he planned to detach the First Realm from the ranks of the Celestial Armor.

Although doing so will not only make cultivation in this realm much more difficult but also limit the number of Immortals who can achieve immortality, it was still better than suffering through cultivation only to end up becoming a sacrifice for sentient beings.

If creating a new path to immortality is not successful, then it is better to let this realm exile itself!

This was also one of the strategies that Long Xinzi and a group of like-minded First Realm advanced cultivators had discussed. Of course, this was a last resort.

If there were viable ways to advance, why would they think of using such a method of cutting off all retreats?

The only thing Long Xinzi regretted was not having met that young cultivator, who had achieved the second level of union with the Dao, sooner. Otherwise, following him and leaving the First Realm might have been a feasible plan!

Unfortunately, it was all too late for him now.

He undoubtedly regretted it deeply, as it had taken him many years to reach the third level of immortal certification. However, if one were to really talk about it, he did not regret it at all.

Because Long Xinzi and his companions, before embarking on a new path to immortality, had been very thorough in their considerations and had made all possible preparations, so activating Long Xinzi’s backup plan was not at all difficult.

And as that contingency was activated, several special beings created by the First Realm also fell at the same time.

These were the Azure Dragon that suppressed the east of the First Realm, the Vermilion Bird of the south, the Black Turtle of the north, the White Tiger of the west, and the Qilin of the center, these five special beings represented the vital energy rules of the First Realm.

Among them, the Azure Dragon represented the longevity of cultivators, the Vermilion Bird represented the yin-yang balance of cultivators, the Black Turtle represented the blessings of cultivators, and the White Tiger represented the fortune of cultivators.

Therefore, when the vital energy rules of the world began to chaos, the lifespan and cultivation Base of cultivators in this realm were uncontrollably affected.

The world began to rise sharply and then fell sharply, eventually seeming to completely return to the mundane world.

The most noticeable effect was the sharp decrease in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This sharp decrease was unstoppable and would not cease until there was no more spiritual energy of heaven and earth left in this realm, only then would this process of decrease stop.

But by that point, it would mean that no cultivators would ever emerge in this realm again.

And that was precisely the fundamental reason Long Xinzi was originally reluctant to activate the contingency plan.

Once it was done, it might relieve concerns temporarily, but it would undoubtedly be a disaster for future generations. To believe in the wisdom of future generations, once he did this, it was equivalent to completely severing the resources for future cultivators of immortality.

Without resources for cultivation, is wisdom alone useful?

Even a clever woman can’t cook without rice!

…

By this time, Tan Shuchang had already returned to Shenxu Heaven.

After all, the First Realm was clearly a place full of strife, where even prominent triple-certified immortal cultivators sustained severe injuries and not only had their foundations eroded but were also continuously hunted.

Tan Shuchang naturally did not dare to linger.

Moreover, he had obtained several specters from the Ghost Path who had achieved the first certification, and he needed to find a safe place to refine all these Yin Gods.

Summoning the Coexistent Blood Pool, Tan Shuchang stepped into it and began to refine the corpse ghosts within.

Because this time when he acted, he deliberately held back to avoid causing these cultivators to turn bizarrely, which would degrade the specters significantly.

Although these specters from the Ghost Path who had achieved the first certification were far inferior to those Yin Gods he had cultivated himself, especially in terms of spiritual intelligence, which was as incomplete as ghosts, they were genuinely useful for enhancement.

As Tan Shuchang refined these Ghost Path specters, he finally understood what it meant to be a ‘sacrifice of life’.

Initially, Tan Shuchang thought that this ‘sacrifice of life’ was like a blood-fed sacrifice, akin to a dark overlord emerging to devour all beings and plunder their lives.

But at this moment, Tan Shuchang realized that ‘sacrifice of life’ and blood-fed sacrifice are utterly different things.

Because not all beings can be called a ‘sacrifice of life’!
