Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

For a moment, the bloodlight tinged with golden hints became fiercer, encompassing a portion of the mummified corpses.

It was then that Tan Shuchang spoke, "Lie down!"

Instantly, that portion of corpses enveloped by the light obediently lay down, each issuing a crisp "thud." This also meant that Tao Jun's tactic of Corpse Peach Blossom Transformation had started to fail in part.

For now, the line between corpses acting as humans and humans acting as corpses began to reverse.

"Stand up!" Tan Shuchang continued.

The section of corpses that had lain down inertly now stood up again. At this moment, these corpses had turned entirely bloody, but their originally solid forms had now inexplicably gained a somewhat ethereal quality.

Seeing this, Tao Jun's expression finally changed uncontrollably, his shock evident. He realized that Tan Shuchang's Divine Skills were in fact more restraining on him than the "Supreme Clear Lotus Sutra" of the Upper Clear View.

"This is impossible!"

As Tao Jun spoke, he attempted to control the Corpse Furnace Formation.

However, by then, the bloodlight with hints of gold had already enveloped the other corpses as well.

"Lie down!"

"Stand up!"

"Stand up! Stand up!"

A terrifying wave of corpse-energy surged skyward, turning into billowing black smoke; undoubtedly, this scene was extremely horrifying. However, just as this mass of corpse-energy was about to reach the clouds, it suddenly vanished without a trace.

At this time, the palace's inner city was filled with people, incredibly terrified, fleeing—these were the residents of the inner city. This group was not only made up of common folks but also included nobles and even quite a few cultivators.

These people had originally been controlled by the Corpse Peach Blossom. Tan Shuchang's command to "lie down" had effectively freed their souls.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, an astonishing number of bloody corpse figures were continually standing up in response to Tan Shuchang's gesturing command.

By this moment, Tao Jun's painstakingly concocted Corpse Furnace Formation had completely collapsed.

However, the energy of the world is conserved. When Tao Jun's Corpse Furnace Formation was destroyed, Tan Shuchang's never-before-seen Divine Skills were also fully realized.

Although he had already grasped them, he had never encountered the right "material."

Unexpectedly, coming to Jingzhou this time, he had encountered such an astonishing amount of suitable "material." Indeed, young people should really go out and see more of the world.

"This... how is this possible?" Tao Jun still found it hard to believe that all his hard work had mostly been in preparation for others.

The reason he said mostly is that he had after all nurtured back some immortal nature.

That counted as half the harvest.

"Thanks to Tao Jun for this opportunity, I will now send you on your way!" Tan Shuchang waved his hand, and instantly, a hundred thousand bloody corpses surged towards Tao Jun.

"Who would have thought I'd be driven to this extent by you?" Tao Jun sighed lightly upon seeing this, then raised his hand and cried out, "Stop."

With that command, the formidable wave of bloody corpses immediately halted in their tracks.

But this was not to say that Tan Shuchang's Divine Skills were ineffective because at that moment, the entire aura around Tao Jun had instantaneously dispersed.

Yet, while his aura had dissipated, Tao Jun's entire being started to become more elusive.

Once immortalized!

Upon reaching the cultivator realm and receiving the mandate of heaven, one can rid oneself of the troubles of lifespan. How long one lives from then on depends solely on one's own abilities. And once immortalized, even if a True Spirit's immortal nature doesn't perish, with reincarnation, one can instantly recover the Dao Fruit from a previous life.

The duration that this bit of True Spirit's immortal nature lasts across several lifetimes also depends on the individual.

There was once an Immortal who reincarnated ten times, each life lasting no less than ten thousand years, leaving a deep mark in the Long River of Time.

However, this individual was also trapped in immortality for hundreds of thousands of years and eventually died helplessly at the hands of enemies.

As for why one could live so long once immortalized?

The Ancestor of the Dao said when preaching, "If one cannot even solve the problem of immortality, then why bother cultivating to become an immortal?"

At this moment, Peach Lord had exhibited the power of attaining the Immortal stage. Amidst the vagueness, a celestial mandate descended. Although the celestial mandate was ethereal and invisible, it definitely existed, exerting immense pressure on Tan Shuchang.

Since Peach Lord had not truly recovered to the Immortal stage, he needed to welcome the celestial mandate before he could utilize the power of this stage.

Because of the descent of the celestial mandate, it penetrated the sleeve of Tan Shuchang, awakening the entity within the Dream Immortal Sleeping Stone directly.

"Who is it? Who desires death so greatly as to dare welcome the celestial mandate?"

The ethereal voice from the Dream Immortal Sleeping Stone resonated with an unbelievable shock.

Hearing the transmission from the ethereal voice within the Dream Immortal Sleeping Stone, Tan Shuchang did not hesitate, he directly repeated aloud, "Does Peach Lord wish for death so eagerly that he dares to welcome the celestial mandate?"

His words stunned Peach Lord momentarily.

It was undeniable that he was stunned, as this was akin to knowing a lottery ticket number guaranteed to win five million and hearing Tan Shuchang mentioning this specific number. This secret could only be known by someone who had once stepped into the cultivator realm and successfully returned!

And because of this moment of stun, the ethereal aura around Peach Lord vanished, after all, he had only a moment, and missing this opportunity meant he had to give up striking.

"Who exactly are you, Tan?" asked Peach Lord, his expression serious.

"Don't you know me, Peach Lord?" Although Tan Shuchang was responding, his attack was launched first.

Streams of Bloody Sword Qi were summoned back, gathering in front like legions of swords aligning in formation before him.

"Since you've witnessed my 'Wishing the World Free of Calamities' first chapter, why not experience the second one now!"

Tan Shuchang's fingers aligned like a sword, instantly causing a surge of blood light around him.

Your next read is at empire

Then, with a flick of his finger,

a boundless blood light instantly covered the sky. Peach Lord, who had heard the name of Tan Shuchang's Divine Skills and had been guarding against the bloody undead forms below,

but as the blood light descended, Peach Lord realized that it was those extremely troublesome streams of Bloody Sword Qi, forming a Sword Array trapping him tightly!

The Sword Array was immediately activated, causing Peach Lord to be extremely distressed.

"This 'Wishing the World Free of Calamities' second chapter has nothing to do with your first!" Peach Lord couldn't help but shout angrily, believing this to be excessively deceptive.

But Tan Shuchang did not respond to Peach Lord, as he seized this moment to help those blood-hued undead figures break free from Peach Lord's "Binding" restraint.

Suddenly, a hundred thousand blood-hued undead figures enveloped Peach Lord.

Peach Lord tried to resort to his old technique, welcoming the celestial mandate. However, with several restraining charms raised by Tan Shuchang simultaneously, Peach Lord hesitated.

Thus, with no other option and not wishing to die alongside Tan Shuchang, Peach Lord could only choose to flee.

Damn this madman!

In his escape, looking at those several restraining charms, Peach Lord's centuries of cultivation instantly went to the dogs.

Restraining charms are an ancient spell, impossible to have remained in the Jiawu Realm after being lost from the mythos for three hundred years, yet they evidently proliferated considerably.

This was a terrifying spell capable of causing immense destruction in the hands of an Immortal Realm cultivator but held minimal power in a true cultivator's hands.

It was fortunate that the ethereal voice within the Dream Immortal Sleeping Stone could not sense the scene outside, otherwise even they would need a millennium of cultivation wasted in an instant upon seeing this scene.

However, Peach Lord still couldn't escape because suddenly two voices resounded.

"Blessed Unbounded Heavenly Venerate!"

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

One Taoist invocation and one Buddhist chant, like the sound of a massive bell and as thunderous as lightning, instantly immobilized Peach Lord's figure, followed by a jade-like long-necked and narrow-mouthed treasure vase rising into the sky.

As soon as this long-necked, narrow-mouthed treasure vase appeared, a golden light emerged from it with wings and eyes, incredibly agile.

In front of this beam of light, Peach Lord, who had just restored his Immortal essence, had no ability to resist and was directly sucked into the long-necked narrow-mouthed treasure vase. Bloodlight flared from it, indicating that Peach Lord had already turned into a pool of pus.

Then, the long-necked narrow-mouthed treasure vase flew into the hands of a young, handsome monk. The monk glanced at the treasure vase, then smilingly handed it to a young man dressed in a yin-yang Daoist robe and carrying a Copper Coin Sword, "The treasure brought out from the monastery by Brother Dao is indeed very useful."
