Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Secluded Spring Blood Demon hadn't expected to encounter Tan Shuchang so soon; after all, his initial intention had been to actively avoid this individual suspected of being a reserve body for a True Immortal.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With a palm strike, the energy of heaven and earth surged turbulently, yet Secluded Spring Blood Demon's figure remained unharmed.

He appeared ten miles away, having directly dodged that palm strike.

"Tan Shuchang, you've hidden your true power well. Everyone in the world thought you had at most four hundred years of cultivation, who would have guessed you've silently amassed eight hundred years... "

The voice of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon rang out, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.

However, soon in the void, a figure was forced out, as multiple bloody figures shuttling through the void blocked Secluded Spring Blood Demon's path.

Seeing this, Secluded Spring Blood Demon was momentarily stunned.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

He was all too familiar with these forms.

However, upon closer inspection, Secluded Spring Blood Demon noticed that these bloody figures had a fundamental difference from his own.

At that moment, a sudden palpitation emerged.

After dodging, Secluded Spring Blood Demon then saw a sky filled with Bloody Sword Qi intertwining and surging towards him once again.

Although he recognized the Bloody Sword Qi, as it bore a semblance to the slaughter wielded by his Ghost Spring Demon Sword, this time he didn't freeze. He instantly activated the demonic power of his blood within him.

With flames of blood steaming, Secluded Spring Blood Demon disappeared without a trace.

After all, he was the former Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter; at this moment, using his fundamental power, he instantly escaped from Tan Shuchang's grasp.

Thousands of miles away, Secluded Spring Blood Demon reappeared.

His expression was rather odd at this time because the more he reflected on the skirmish with Tan Shuchang, the more it felt like looking into a mirror.

A sky full of bloody shadows, endless Bloody Sword Qi—if it weren't for the absence of a Blood Spring, Secluded Spring Blood Demon would have thought he was fighting another spirit of Blood Spring.

Secluded Spring Blood Demon was indeed the sentient consciousness born from the Blood Spring.

Without such an origin, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon wouldn't be so troublesome to deal with, so much so that even the Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter couldn't do more than force him into reincarnation, using his own path as a sacrifice.

"Path" here signifies the complete destruction of a True Immortal's form and spirit, utterly dispersing his soul.

"This Tan Shuchang is quite mysterious... could he truly be of pure blood?"

Secluded Spring Blood Demon thought of the at least eight hundred years of cultivation power on Tan Shuchang!

The level of cultivation power represents different implications, particularly concerning the bloodlines of True Immortals, which involve complex factors like pure blood, mixed blood, and the maneuvers of True Immortals.

However, Secluded Spring Blood Demon was still unsure about this conjecture.

The pure bloodline amongst True Immortals is too precious!

Once there was a pure-blooded True Immortal whose blood met tragedy in a mortal realm; that True Immortal, unwilling to regress in cultivation as a price, refined that entire mortal realm. The resentment of humans reached the heavens, nearly forming a fifth pillar that would uphold the sky!

Even other True Immortals, including the famously benevolent Purple-Gold Immortal, didn't say much about it and even actively helped to seal off that mortal realm, ensuring not a single life could escape.

Therefore, for his part, to drop a pure blood into the mix, Secluded Spring Blood Demon couldn't quite wrap his head around it, as fundamentally, it felt like being handed a meal on a platter.

Though pure blood might block him for a lifetime, the benefits he could reap from it were far greater, making another two or three reincarnations worthwhile.

Thus, Secluded Spring Blood Demon forcibly suppressed his injuries with the power of the blood demon and then ventured into a bustling county town.

Although he could successfully escape, it was not without cost.

However, this cost, considered significant for an ordinary cultivator, was trivial for Secluded Spring Blood Demon; refining his essence blood once could bring him a full recovery.

Therefore, the trip for Secluded Spring Blood Demon was planned to capture a few Cultivators for questioning.

After questioning them, he would use them as supplements to restore himself.

Killing two birds with one stone truly reveals the nature of demonic paths.

More impressively, one might even accomplish four gains per effort: first reaping intelligence, then absorbing cultivation, following that by feeding their flesh to magical weapons, and finally integrating their souls into Spiritual Medicine for consumption.

This is indeed making use of every last bit!

Of course, such are the demonic ways of other realms; from what Secluded Spring Blood Demon could see, the demonic paths of this world hardly qualified.

Yet, as well-planned as Secluded Spring Blood Demon's approach was, before he could strike, he unexpectedly learned a piece of incredibly surprising news.

His Ghost Spring Demon Sword was suspected to have landed in the hands of Tan Shuchang!

So, Secluded Spring Blood Demon walked in, merely revealing a century of genuine cultivation, and then had those few Loose Cultivators recount their stories again.

The Loose Cultivators, terrified, naturally did not dare disobey.

As Secluded Spring Blood Demon heard about the so-called Great Sword Presentation Ceremony, where Tan Shuchang produced a broken peerless demon sword for the cultivators of the world to admire, he still harbored a sliver of hope.

But as he heard more, that the peerless demon sword was merely shown and not activated yet managed to sever the energy flow of all the cultivators present...

Secluded Spring Blood Demon, no matter how unwilling to witness this scene, could only accept it.

"Pure blood!"

From this point on, Secluded Spring Blood Demon had no more doubts about Tan Shuchang's bloodline conjecture.

"Purple-Gold Immortal, what a fine tactic! Truly a fine tactic! To actually send down a pure blood!"
