Chapter 342: 200, fairy enters mortal world, shows ghostly form after death_2
He had not expected that such cultivators would exist in the Land of the Four Pillars!
Murdering one's master and annihilating one's clan—when it came to his fellow disciples, most likely they had suffered at his ruthless hand as well... It seemed that the only survivor was his own birth mother, but now he even planned to utilize the power of Silver Dragon Dao Palace to exterminate his enemies completely. This child was so terrifying!
After he finished speculating, the heart of the cultivator who had united with the Two Truths couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. If he had such ruthlessness, he wouldn't need to care about the disciples of Silver Dragon Dao Palace.
Unfortunately, that wasn't possible for him; not only did he have a family to take care of, but he also had his sect, close friends, and allies.
And like this Two Truths unification cultivator who was lost in thought, the other cultivators from Silver Dragon Dao Palace, apart from Ling Lu and another female cultivator leading the team, all shared this view.
The reason Ling Lu and the other female team leader did not think this way was because they detected the concealed murderous intent of the person in front of them and were contemplating how to escape.
Now without the protection of their background and origins, with their One Lifespan eternal proficiency, they were undeniably vulnerable in front of a cultivator who had united with the Two Truths.

The only consolation was that they too had a Two Truths unification cultivator on their side!
At this moment, Tan Shuchang mentioned his birth mother for the first time, even across the distance of the Land of the Four Pillars; the moment he began to speak, in the Primordial Heavenly Realm, within that river that was utterly bright yet filled with darkness, a pair of cold eyes slowly opened and cast their gaze toward the Land of the Four Pillars.
Just one glance pierced through the Land of the Four Pillars and reached inside the realm of Jia One in the array of Heavenly Armors in a flash.
Finally, the gaze settled on Tan Shuchang.
This glance was so swift that it caught most of what Tan Shuchang had said, and after reading the memories of the Silver Dragon Dao Palace cultivators and that Two Truths unification cultivator, it also knew everything Tan Shuchang had spoken.
Including what that blood-shadow incarnation had said.
Then, those cold eyes twitched visibly twice at one corner.
...
In that river of utter brightness and darkness, none of the cultivators from Silver Dragon Dao Palace, the Two Truths unification cultivator, or Tan Shuchang in the Jia One realm had the slightest sense of the pair of eyes.
Even though among them, there were more than ten individuals whose memories had been read!
"Strike now! Break open this strange spatial anomaly! If we die here, even if you can escape, you won't avoid being held accountable!" At this moment, Ling Lu called out loudly to the Two Truths unification cultivator.
Hearing this, the Two Truths unification cultivator came to his senses and immediately began to forcefully activate his treasure.
A vermillion gourd spun gently, and suddenly, ten thousand streaks of light burst forth, among which were the same vermillion sand that had appeared before. The mere appearance of this sand made the entire sea of blood surge tumultuously.
Because both contained the same originating evil energy!
"What a treasure!"
Tan Shuchang stared at the gourd treasure, feeling an especially strong connection with it.
He decided to end the battle quickly.
The undying blood manifested, spilling bloodlight throughout the sky; and in the instant the bloodlight made contact, the dozen or so cultivators from Silver Dragon Dao Palace silently fell down.
Swallowed by the blood without any struggle.
In the reflection of the bloodlight, the Two Truths unification cultivator felt as though he had fallen into a quagmire. The connection with his treasure was the first to be severed, followed by the suppression of his Dao cultivation.
And then, the Two Truths unification cultivator was also engulfed by the surging sea of blood.
This was the enlightenment Tan Shuchang had gained during a previous "Twenty-Four Seasons" contemplation; this bloodlight could mesmerize minds, seize souls, trap Dao cultivation, and cut off spiritual wits.
Once shone upon by the bloodlight, even a Two Truths unification cultivator's strength would be drastically reduced, possibly leading directly to their demise!
Tan Shuchang reverted to his human form, now holding a vermillion gourd in his hand.
The gourd vibrated non-stop, showing its refusal to acknowledge Tan Shuchang.
But it didn't matter; Tan Shuchang was very familiar with this process, so he casually threw it into the Blood Pool and then suppressed it at the bottom of the Blood Pool.
"You and I are fated; in five hundred years, you will acknowledge me,"
Tan Shuchang said in a gentle tone.
After all, the Chaotic Life Dharma Bead that didn't acknowledge him in the past had been inherited from his master!
Then, Tan Shuchang put away his Coexistent Blood Pool.
However, as he stowed away the Blood Pool, Tan Shuchang was stunned because the dozen or so cultivators from the Silver Dragon Dao Palace who had died in the Blood Pool, including that Dao cultivator who had double certifications, were showing signs of undergoing a strange transformation!
Especially that Dao cultivator with double certifications, whose transformation was the fastest, almost as rapid as the Ancestor Master of the Sword Temple's incarnation during its transformation!
"Roar!"
An exceptionally sinister roar sounded, signaling that the Dao cultivator with double certifications had completed his transformation.
Originally, this Dao cultivator with double certifications was a middle-aged man with a refined appearance and a bit of a scholarly air, but after the transformation, his image changed drastically; his body was wrapped in dark aura, his six hundred years of Dao, which had dissipated upon his death, now reappeared.
However, this did not mean that after the transformation of the Dao cultivator's corpse, he still held the state of double certifications. He was now merely a single-certification ghost in the Ghost Path, but his more than six hundred years of Dao undoubtedly made him extremely powerful.
After the corpse of the Dao cultivator with double certifications completed its transformation, the cultivators from the Silver Dragon Dao Palace also all finished their transformations.
They were all still single-certification ghosts of the Ghost Path; however, unlike normal Yin Gods, these ghostly beings had incomplete consciousness, only some basic instincts.
Witnessing this scene, Tan Shuchang was undoubtedly overjoyed, for he could finally raise the Lotus Platform again.
But at the same time, Tan Shuchang also found it somewhat strange.
Because previously, in the Land of the Four Pillars, he had also engaged in combat, causing many cultivators to fall, but whether it was Bai Zhi Mountain, Green Lotus Palace, or other places of the Land of the Four Pillars, none of those cultivators showed any signs of such transformations after their demise.
Involuntarily, Tan Shuchang thought of the changes to the cultivators from the Silver Dragon Dao Palace at Shenxu Heaven.
Back then, he had crushed several cultivators from the Silver Dragon Dao Palace into dust with a single palm strike, and they had all undergone transformations afterward. However, under the empowerment of his seven hundred years of Dao, his strike was so formidable that after their transformations, those cultivators from the Silver Dragon Dao Palace retained only a fraction of their strength.
"Could it be, cultivators from the Land of the Four Pillars only undergo such changes after coming to the Mortal Realm? Or perhaps, is it that only when in the ranks of the Heavenly Armor, as well as the worlds that were once part of the Heavenly Armor, can these cultivators experience such strange transformations after death?"
Tan Shuchang did not rush to conclusions.
So, he thought for a while and then returned to Shenxu Heaven through the strange game, since he had been to this place before, which meant that the strange game had positioned this world, and he could directly reach this land in the future.
In comparison to Shenxu Heaven, there was still too much unknown about this first realm of Heavenly Armor.
Therefore, even though the Coexistent Blood Pool could create its own world after being summoned, Tan Shuchang still decided to act cautiously and return to Shenxu Heaven to raise the Lotus Platform.
Tan Shuchang had previously contemplated the "Twenty-Four Seasons," becoming one with the heaven and earth below, and over the course of three years, he witnessed the cycle of bloom and decay and came to a vague understanding of life and death, gaining much insight.
Even inspired by this, he created multiple methods.
It was just unfortunate that in his human form, he could only use one of them. While in his undying blood form, he could use them all, but aside from the Bloodlight Supernatural Power, the other methods were still somewhat incomplete.
As one Yin God after another was refined, Tan Shuchang also learned a bit about the Silver Dragon Dao Palace and discovered that in the Land of the Four Pillars, there were a total of thirty-six such Dao Palaces.
However, currently, only the Silver Dragon Dao Palace and Fengtian Dao Palace were active in the world.
After the Immortal Clan emerged, the remaining thirty-four Dao Palaces would all come into the world, then be driven by the Immortal Clan to rule together! After all, the Immortal Clan was not large in number, and the vast Land of the Four Pillars could not be governed by the Immortal Clan alone.
"Finally, a thousand years of Dao..."
Above the Lotus Platform, a puddle of golden-red blood squirmed and expressed a sense of longing, "The path of cultivation is indeed arduous!"
