Chapter 353: 206, New Secluded Spring Blood Demon! Expert Scholar!

One could see a majestic golden body manifesting between heaven and earth. It resembled the Dharma Aspect of Buddha, radiant and majestic, but its entire body was swirling with black energy, much like an Emperor’s Banner exuding dark miasma.

It had an aura that seemed to choose its victims to devour!

“The sea of suffering is boundless, yet turning back is the shore. Lay down the butcher knife, and instantly become a Buddha.” The sonorous voice emitted from the true form of the Immortal Clan member.

“Fellow Daoist, you’re here spouting black smoke and still preaching to others. Such deep cunning truly commands Tan Someone’s admiration. How about coming into my Blood Pool for a chat?”

The still writhing pool of blood erupted with a Bloodlight, canceling out all the seductive might contained within the sonorous voice.

And as the Bloodlight touched the true form of the Immortal Clan member, it began to fade in and out of visibility–unable to withstand the Bloodlight Supernatural Power of Tan Shuchang.

Emboldened by a Thousand Year Dao, even the Demon Realm Giant Handprint could easily kill a Cultivator who had attained the Combined Dao during normal times, let alone this supernatural power that was remarkable in its own right, having been born from the “Twenty-Four Seasons” and evolved from the cycle of life and death!

“You…”

The true form of the Immortal Clan member began to panic, realizing that even after manifesting its true form, it still wasn’t a match for the person in front of it, so it attempted to open its mouth, hoping to use its identity as an Immortal Clan member to protect itself.

Unfortunately, Tan Shuchang did not even give it the chance to speak.

So very soon, within Tan Shuchang’s Coexistent Blood Pool, another figure was added.

This member of the Immortal Clan had been refined.

Regrettably, Tan Shuchang was unable to capture any useful memories this time, all he got were fragments of memories. Although a bit disappointed, he didn’t pay it too much mind.

After all, this wasn’t unusual. In the past, when a large number of ghosts were refined at once, some fragmented information would overlap, filling in the gaps in the memory scenes.

“The true form of the Immortal Clan is indeed eerie and unpredictable!”

As he stepped out of the Blood Pool, even though it was not his first encounter, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but exclaim.

Dead yet able to exert full strength and revive at will after death, such things, when thought about in relation to cultivators, seemed rather incredible.

It was as if the other party was a Player, and he was just an NPC in a game.

Then, Tan Shuchang continued to send out invitations to his bizarre game world.

A batch of sixteen invitations, sent out randomly and without restrictions.

Yet after doing this for three days, Tan Shuchang gave up on trying to cultivate Yin Gods in this way. Because the efficiency was too low!

To him, the Cultivators of the Land of the Four Pillars who had only attained the first rank of Immortality were practically useless.

Although he didn’t know why, back when Shenxu Heaven was still known as Jiawu Realm, the Ghost Suppressing Technique could affect some Cultivators, but those Cultivators were fundamentally different from the Immortals of the Land of the Four Pillars.

For this reason, Tan Shuchang had tried to find the answer in ancient texts, yet he found not the slightest suspected record.

Therefore, he could only speculate that it must have something to do with the Land of Yin and Darkness.

After all, the Ghost Suppressing Technique originated from the Land of Yin and Darkness and was spread deliberately by that realm.

Shortly after bidding farewell to Long Xinzi, Tan Shuchang went to perfect his Puppet Pill Treasure.

His previous speculations had come true; as the varieties of pills refined by the Alchemy Furnaces were limited to those few types, recently, the Alchemy Furnaces he had distributed didn’t bring back any epiphanies or feedback.

However, this Puppet Pill method had added two hundred years to his Dao, so it wasn’t a wasted effort.

And while Tan Shuchang was contemplating his Puppet Pill method, the spiritual domain of the Land of the Four Pillars was already becoming tumultuous. Just as Lin Chen from the Silver Dragon Dao Palace had said, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo were already prearranged in the script, to provide a justified opportunity for the Immortal Clan to govern.

In the spiritual domain of the Land of the Four Pillars, although there were no significant disturbances and all seemed to be in tranquil harmony, the polarization among Cultivators had become extremely severe.

Immortal Sects and Cultivation Families occupied over ninety percent of cultivation resources in the entire spiritual domain. And the channels for advancement for the lower-level Cultivators were almost nonexistent.

The only way out was to serve the Cultivation Families.

As for joining an Immortal Sect and changing one’s destiny against the heavens?

That was out of the question.

Under the rule of the Primordial Heavenly Realm in the Land of the Four Pillars, joining an Immortal Sect depended not on aptitude but birth and background.

A Cultivator’s roots could determine everything.

Otherwise, such exclusive circles would not have formed.

For these were not only circles but also high walls that firmly excluded anyone who wished to enter and access their internal cultivation resources.

If you were born into one of these circles, that birth and background allowed you to join any Immortal Sect.

If not, the opposite was true!

Although the Land of the Four Pillars was full of Cultivators and enlightenment was easier to achieve, the probability of a low-level Cultivator attaining Immortality was about the same as in the Mortal Realm.

Not because of lack of innate talent, but because resources were insufficient, and the path ahead had already been blocked.

In a world where great power is centralized within oneself, any resistance by the weak is doomed to fail. Hence, under these numerous restrictions, it was impossible for any of the lower-level Cultivators to spawn any form of rebellion.

However, lack of rebellion did not mean absence of resentment. With such stark polarization, even those who were originally content serving as dogs could hardly avoid harboring unusual thoughts.
