Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

From the perspective of cultivators, this might seem like an exercise in futility. However, in the eyes of those who have passed the three tests of ascension, this is seen as being graced with heavenly favor!

The heavenly favor bestowed upon Long Zhangyuan would dissipate greatly, and much of it is somewhat similar to this method.

...

And at the heart of the tumultuous discussions below the heavens, the Nine Orifices Martial Demon arrived.

The moment Tan Shuchang saw the Nine Orifices Martial Demon, he felt all his recent hardships had been worth it. His unique abilities once again surged with a fierce hunger.

People regard food as their heaven! The ancients have never deceived me!

Tan Shuchang felt a rush of emotion in his heart.

At this moment, the Nine Orifices Martial Demon, whom Tan Shuchang had been collecting for so long, also emerged from a black column of light that pierced the heavens and earth.

This was a figure indistinguishable from a normal person.

Neither overly muscular nor possessing an abundance of arms like the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva or many legs like chaos itself, everything seemed unremarkable at first glance.

Only, the figure's eyes contained four pupils.

Death energy enshrouded this figure, and upon its arrival, yin energy howled in, instantly freezing the surrounding area with strands of Yin Mysterious Ice.

Such a rare heavenly material in the Jiawu Realm was now as common as dirt, seen everywhere within sight.

"Hahaha, I am finally free!" Experience tales at empire

The figure laughed unrestrainedly, its demeanor wildly ecstatic. Its somewhat pale black face glowed with wild excitement.

With regular features and a resolute appearance, had it not been for the earth-shattering scene of its emergence, it could have passed for lacking any malicious aura.

Then, the figure's gaze locked onto Tan Shuchang.

Because he held the Nine Orifices Martial Demon in his hands.

"Very well, very well! It was you, a mere mortal cultivator, who released me, right? I know what you want, and I won't disappoint you. Take this!" The Nine Orifices Martial Demon said and threw a black light tinged with a hint of gold toward Tan Shuchang.

The black light headed straight for Tan Shuchang's face, and the surrounding heavens and earth darkened instantaneously with it.

However, as it approached Tan Shuchang, the black light dispersed.

Even the hint of gold within it vanished.

Naturally, Tan Shuchang had already extended his Dharma Realm.

After the black light dissipated, a piece of bamboo slips fell out.

Fluttering without wind, the bamboo slips rolled open to reveal the essence of the text inside.

It was a Necromancy Scripture.

The core of the entire Necromancy Scripture was to teach one how to become a corpse.

First, one had to create numerous spring eyes within the body, similar to life springs.

These spring eyes condensed life force and were part of an extremely ordinary path to longevity.

But this Necromancy Scripture chose an unconventional path.

It didn't use these spring eyes to cultivate one's own eternal youth. Instead, it used them to refine the corpse energy entering the body, resulting in becoming a living corpse.

With this step, one could transcend the Five Elements of heaven and earth, borrowing endless malevolent energy from the universe to forge a powerful physical body.

The more malevolent energy from heaven and earth one borrows, the stronger one's power.

Moreover, the most mysterious aspect is that as long as there is enough malevolent energy, there are no issues with advancements. In other words, by practicing this Necromancy Scripture, it might take just a few years to pass from the first to the third test.

This is genuinely a quick success magic technique!

However, this wasn't what Tan Shuchang desired. Apart from the fact that he still had intentions of refining the other party, this quick success magic technique also came with a significant hidden danger.

That is, it could sever the path to becoming an immortal. If that were not the case, why would the Nine Orifices Martial Demon practicing this technique seek to be reborn?

The Nine Orifices Martial Demon in front of him had practiced this Necromancy Scripture.

For it contained a wealth of commentary about this rapid-success technique from the Nine Orifices Martial Demon himself.

"Eh? Your Dharma Realm is quite interesting. How about this, if you assist me with your Dharma Realm, and after I refine and kill an Immortal Sect, restoring myself to life, I will help you transform into the body of a Corpse ImmorImortal!" the Nine Orifices Martial Demon said.

"Thank you for your high regard, Nine Orifices Martial Demon, but please forgive Tan Someone for not being able to agree," Tan Shuchang said with a smile, and then he made his move.

The Nine Orifices Martial Demon before him was undoubtedly at the level of the third certification, but this was the Jiawu Realm.

And moreover, this Nine Orifices Martial Demon was not a living being.

Thus, merely starting to defend, the Nine Orifices Martial Demon realized something was off. His strength was suppressed, which was one thing, but the attacks he could launch, the damage they could inflict on his opponent, amounted to less than a tenth of their potential.

"No wonder you dare to target me!"

The complexion of the Nine Orifices Martial Demon darkened, after all, he had just struggled out of a trap, only to find that the one who had helped free him had mainly targeted him, which would unsettle anyone, no matter how high their cultivation.

"In that case, I shall show you why we are called 'Martial Demons'!" the Nine Orifices Martial Demon bellowed in anger. Instantly, his form expanded to twice its size, followed by a thunderous roar that erupted from a punch he hurled at Tan Shuchang.

This was pure physical strength, not involving any Ghost Path, so Tan Shuchang's high resistance to ghosts instantly failed him.

But the resistance to ghosts failed, the suppression of heaven and earth did not fail.

So, the diminished punch was caught by Tan Shuchang.

However, he did not receive it with his human form.

Such a punch, like thunder striking down, was not something Tan Shuchang would dare to underestimate. He immediately manifested his Undying Blood Form, and naturally, what followed was a Blood Pool that seemed endless.

Waves of blood surged, sweeping the Nine Orifices Martial Demon far away in an instant.

And witnessing the endless sea of blood, the Nine Orifices Martial Demon no longer had the martial bearing of before, revealing a look of terror and loudly begging for mercy, "Blood Demon! Secluded Spring Blood Demon! Demon Immortal, spare my life, I am willing to serve you!"

In that moment, even his self-designation as 'I' was cast aside.

Seeing this sight, while inwardly sighing that the Blood Demon truly had a terrifying demonic might, Tan Shuchang took the opportunity to suppress the Nine Orifices Martial Demon, whose mind was in utter disarray, within the Blood Pool.

Then he began the refining.

However, it can only be said that the Nine Orifices Martial Demon, whom Tan Shuchang had long coveted, took him a full five days to refine.

One must know, the incarnation of the Earth Ghost Immortal he had faced in the past, after manifesting its ghostly nature, took less than a day to be refined by him. Unexpectedly, refining this Nine Orifices Martial Demon, who was clearly an entity of the Ghost Path, took a whole five days.

Next, Tan Shuchang began to execute "Contemplating the Self-Evolving Scripture, Gaining Dharma Gate Five."

He wanted to first strip away the Nine Orifices Martial Demon's strong physical body.

The body of the Nine Orifices Martial Demon was tempered with the evil and nefarious energy of heaven and earth, which naturally came with a price. And to acquire such a physique also required a price.

But Dharma Gate Five could well avoid these prices, leaving them upon the body of the Nine Orifices Martial Demon, while the strong physique tempered out would belong to Tan Shuchang.

The Life Spring within Tan Shuchang's body, with the stripping and fusion of the powerful physique, was being constantly depleted. Fortunately, just as the Life Spring seemed about to be exhausted, he finally completed the fusion of his physique.

In an instant, Tan Shuchang felt an unprecedented enhancement to his bones, muscles, and flesh.

Wild and violent strength surged from within him.

It was as if he had refined a bolt of lightning.

And at the moment of successful physique acquisition, the benefits from refining the Nine Orifices Martial Demon began to manifest in Tan Shuchang.

Although he still didn't know how the Blood Pool was created, he had full control over it. Every wave of blood would move according to his will.

When his mind was still, the Blood Pool was calm and serene. When a thought arose in his mind, the Blood Pool became tumultuous with waves.

Thus, for the first time, Tan Shuchang saw the scenery beneath the Lotus Platform.

There were no piles of white bones.

Only a root radiating a golden glow held the Lotus Platform aloft. However, the platform was still half submerged in the Blood Pool, so lifting it still required the power of the Yin God.

In that moment, from the field of inverted millet, an ear of millet flew out and landed in Tan Shuchang's hands.

This was a psychic treasure.

Condensed from the Blood Pool, it was created by heaven and earth.

And possessing it would grant one-tenth of Tan Shuchang's strength and ensure the bearer would never suffer any negative states.

So, Tan Shuchang gifted this psychic treasure to a certain little girl.
