Chapter 362: 210, heart conceals mountains and seas, witnessing the dragon three times_2

At this moment, he still resembled a puddle of blood.

Ever since his transmigration, his Coexistent Blood Pool had been evaporating continuously, but concurrently, Tan Shuchang’s aura began to become extremely terrifying. That was because the power of the Blood Pool kept fusing into his body.

At that moment, he seemed to have become an Immortal!

A Blood Immortal!

Amidst a dreamy haze, Tan Shuchang seemed to see a colossal figure tearing apart heavens and earth, and then this figure dispersed into the spirits of the universe.

Hair turned into stars, eyes transformed into the sun and moon, blood became rivers…

But at the same time, countless demons sprung forth, seeking to usurp the fundamental power of this newly birthed realm.

Fortunately, at this moment, the giant figure had not completely perished, and with its last bit of strength, it emitted a sound that shocked the world, “Zha!”

Instantly, countless demons were annihilated, both in form and spirit.

And with the demise of these demons, they provided a rejuvenating force to this realm. Thus, pure air rose, dense air sank, each following its own destiny.

However, not all demons had ceased to exist. There was one known as the “World Heart Demon,” which revived after death. It, bearing deep hatred for this world, cursed it– from then on, Immortals would not be Immortals, ghosts would not be ghosts, monsters would not be monsters, demons would not be demons, the world turned upside down, and so did all living beings.

And then…

Tan Shuchang awakened from his dream, for at this moment, he had already fused into the Blood Pool, causing the half-evaporated pool to regain its former appearance.

He didn’t immediately extract himself from the Blood Pool but took a moment to comprehend the changes in himself.

His changes were not significant.

His Cultivation Technique hadn’t changed much either.

It was still the fusion of the two proofs.

But what set him apart from other cultivators was that now, Tan Shuchang was a fusion of the two proofs that would never experience a period of decline.

As long as the Blood Pool didn’t dry up, he would never have a period of decline.

“The spirits of the mountain and water have also transformed into my vital energy, but now that I have refined this Coexistent Blood Pool, there is no need for these three spirits to help me suppress it,” Tan Shuchang muttered.

Tan Shuchang soon discovered something missing from the Blood Pool. Besides the blood, which was half gone, the three condensed spirits of the mountain and water had also disappeared.

“Eh?”

Gazing intently, Tan Shuchang suddenly made an unexpected discovery.

With that in mind, he made a move.

In an instant, a square halberd surged out from the bottom of the Blood Pool.

This was the treasure obtained from exchaning with the cultivator Xuan Li.

Originally, Tan Shuchang had regarded it merely as a Dharma treasure, but now, as he observed the square halberd, he felt something was amiss, for it was clearly sealed by someone.

“Is this… an Immortal Treasure?”

After comparing it with the Pill Treasure Fan, Tan Shuchang felt somewhat surprised by this conclusion.

After all, this was equivalent to unexpectedly acquiring an Immortal Treasure for free.

“Although I do not know how to unseal this Immortal Treasure yet, I might as well start refining it,” decided Tan Shuchang there and then, and his body, having transformed into golden-red blood, enveloped the square halberd.

This golden-red blood, unlike before– which merely exuded a sense of divinity– now possessed divine abilities after that great dream.

Without Tan Shuchang employing any particular spellcasting, simply by wrapping the golden-red blood around it, he instantaneously succeeded in refining the square halberd.

This sealed Immortal Treasure had successfully fostered a spirit unique to Tan Shuchang.

This became the seventh power for Tan Shuchang after his blood shadow incarnation, Shuttle Through Void, Gathering and Dispersing at Will, Reality Conversion, Transformation Ability, and As You Wish in Size.

Now, when refining treasures, he did not need to meet the various conditions of those treasures. He only needed to manifest the undying blood form, and with a single pounce, the treasure would obey his command.

Even Immortal Treasures were no exception.

However, there was one condition that restricted him; all of these treasures had to be in a masterless state.

In addition, this ability could only occupy one magical artifact per day.

“Although this treasure is sealed and all its divine powers concealed, it can still easily smash through the defenses of a cultivator who has only reached the second proof of unity” Tan Shuchang weighed the magical artifact in his hand, somewhat satisfied with it.

Over the next few days, he did not leave the blood pool, because at its bottom lay many magical artifacts. While none of those artifacts had reached the Immortal level, their might was unparalleled, especially the Crimson Gourd he had obtained in the former realm A1.

This gourd was particularly compatible with him.

Thus, he lay in the blood pool for nearly half a month before Tan Shuchang finally extricated himself. As he left the blood pool, it immediately emptied by half.

The lotus platform that had been floating slightly above the surface of the blood now exposed most of its roots and stems. This caused a hint of deathliness to appear on the lotus platform above.

Seeing this, Tan Shuchang raised his hand and plucked the lotus platform.

As the platform fell, its roots and tendrils withered instantly. However, the platform itself rose into the air and then landed at Tan Shuchang’s feet.

Tan Shuchang then sat down cross-legged, and no blades emerged from the platform any longer.

“Fellow Daoist, I thank you for your years of companionship. Though you are modest in nature, I will refine you into an Immortal Treasure to repay the favor you once granted me in my path to the Dao” Tan Shuchang said earnestly.

Although the lotus platform was not sentient and had become a common Yin lotus, condensed from Yin energy after leaving the blood pool, he spoke these words to it.

After all, the platform had greatly aided him in the past and deserved the honorific title “Fellow Daoist.”

Next, Tan Shuchang lightly pointed a finger towards the blood pool.

Instantly, ripples spread across the surface of the blood pool, and several Yin Gods were pulled out. Once they left the pool, they dissipated into clouds of Yin energy.

The Yin energy circled gently above the blood pool, and a Yin lotus slowly bloomed.

This was a new lotus platform.

However, perhaps due to the diminished water in the blood pool, this new platform was half the size of the original. Fortunately, despite being smaller, it retained its two functions.

Transforming enlightenment into progress on the Dao.

Allowing the Cultivation Techniques practiced to reach completion in the blink of an eye.

These were the foundation of Tan Shuchang’s arduous cultivation and advancement.

“The Nine-Eyed Technique truly lives up to being the proudest achievement of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon in his lifetime. Although what I have acquired is incomplete, it just happens to perfectly complement the sixth volume of my ‘Cross Calamity Immortal Scripture’” Tan Shuchang had naturally obtained the memories of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon when he refined his blood form. However, whether it was because the demon had too many memories or he had been dead for too long, Tan Shuchang did not gain much information, only the first half of his mystical techniques.

Named after nine eyes, Tan Shuchang had only acquired five.

Nonetheless, even though it was incomplete, it was enough for Tan Shuchang’s use.

He put away the lotus platform beneath him and then sat cross-legged on the smaller new one. A few more figures of Yin Gods flew out from the blood pool and lifted the new platform up.

In just an instant, these Yin Gods vanished into dust, and Tan Shuchang fulfilled his wish of fully cultivating the sixth volume of his ‘Cross Calamity Immortal Scripture.’

“Sublimating oneself to reach the pinnacle is no longer a matter of chance.”

Tan Shuchang was overjoyed.

He had finally completed the sixth volume.

This volume was named–Heart Mountain Sea.

He ultimately found himself tracing the old paths once more, yet it was not Wu Xin; instead, he concealed his Dharma Realm within the mountains and seas and internalized the entirety within his own heart.

However, reaching such a stage is extremely difficult. Fortunately, he had the lotus platform to aid in his arduous cultivation, allowing him to rapidly achieve the ideal realm he had envisioned.

Tan Shuchang divided the Heart Mountain Sea into three steps: “Enlightened Heart,” “Knowing the Mysterious,” and “Seeing the Dragon.”

Enlightened Heart and Knowing the Mysterious are easy to understand. Seeing the Dragon does not refer to beholding a dragon but uses the mightiest Mountain-Sea Beast of Shenxu Heaven’s past–the Mountain Sea Jiao–to signify the peak realm of a domain.

Thus, Seeing the Dragon means perceiving the pinnacle realm.

Tan Shuchang aspired to use this to scale the Three Proofs.

However, due to some mishap, Tan Shuchang did not succeed in his ascent. He remained at the second proof of unity stage.
