Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!-Chapter 561 - 301, The Fabricated Past and Future

Chapter 561: 301, The Fabricated Past and Future Chapter 561: 301, The Fabricated Past and Future Standing on the surface of this river for a long time, Tan Shuchang could only confirm that this river had something to do with the Sword Dao. It might look somewhat peculiar, but in actuality, it should be quite ordinary.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

Because he couldn’t resonate with the River of Sword Dao at all! He couldn’t acquire any information related to it.

Heaven’s Authority’s Righteous Law allows for an alternative kind of omniscience and omnipotence.

Any being within heaven and earth that could resonate with oneself, the one of Heaven’s Authority’s Righteous Law, could obtain most information related to it.

“Could it be the casual work of some predecessor?”

This was what Tan Shuchang couldn’t help thinking.

But he immediately felt that this thought might be somewhat presumptuous and not very respectful to the predecessor of this place, so he waved his hand and grabbed.

...

A handful of river water immediately flew up.

And as this water left the river, it unexpectedly transformed into countless long swords, constantly humming and trembling, causing sword qi to surge all around.

This sword qi could annihilate a Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter.

However, naturally, it couldn’t do anything to Tan Shuchang.

But the wonder happened right here; after the sword qi “realized” it couldn’t do anything to Tan Shuchang, it actually evolved into a Sword Array.

Four portals rose between heaven and earth.

These gates were neither gold nor silver, neither stone nor wood, neither jade nor iron, not made from mundane materials, nor were they refined from the essence of the Immortal Path. However, once these four portals were established, not only did this place become its own realm, but the air was also filled with a murderous aura, annihilating the spiritual senses of all True Immortals.

And the rise of these portals was just the beginning.

In a short while, four sword shadows appeared atop the gates.

Once the four swords were in place, the power of slaughter reached its peak! As the four sword shadows trembled, boundless sword lights instantly fell like a curtain from the sky.

“Pardon!”

A sound like the beginning of heaven and earth originated from the curtain of swords.

In an instant, these myriad sword lights turned to flying ash and vanished, leaving behind only a somewhat curious Tan Shuchang, who continued standing on the surface of the river, observing the River of Sword Dao.

This sound of the beginning of heaven and earth, while dispersing the sword lights, also shattered the four gates and four sword shadows.

“This River of Sword Dao, must be the attentive creation of someone in the Banhu Realm.”

Having witnessed the transformation and might of the river water, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but elevate the level of this peculiar river in his mind.

From a casual creation, it had become an attentive creation.

Thus, he started to sense it carefully. After all, it was related to the Banhu Realm; he wanted to see if he could, with his talent, catch a glimpse of some techniques of the Banhu Realm.

In this way, Tan Shuchang sat in meditation here for a long time, perhaps ten years, maybe a hundred—when his perception of time became somewhat blurred, he had no choice but to halt this futile attempt at comprehension.

“It seems it indeed was just a casual creation, it’s just that the cultivation realm of this predecessor was too profound, that’s all.”

Tan Shuchang reached such a conclusion.

Then, he prepared to utilize the privilege to traverse the Long River of time, although he did not know where he had arrived, but as long as he reached the Long River, with careful sensing, he could always find his way back.

Like a curtain of flowing water, Tan Shuchang’s figure disappeared. However, not long after he left, a figure emerged from the River of Sword Dao below.

“Somebody has actually concocted this person’s future…” This figure was flickering, seeming to be composed of countless long swords, yet also resembling flowing water, with distinct facial features, but anyone who saw this face would immediately forget it and not even retain the most basic sense of familiarity.

This was a practitioner of the Banhu Realm who had reached the Timeless Realm, and in this second stage, he was nearly at its pinnacle.

In the time of the Ancient Immortal Domain, such a state was known as a Fake Immortal King.

Because they had mastered a part of the power of an Immortal King. However, once one enters this domain, it means there is no hope of ever taking the third step.

Thus, it is a realm envied by those in the Banhu Realm, but also the one they least wish to enter.

Although the probability of advancing to the third step was almost zero, once one becomes a Fake Immortal King, the probability of taking the third step becomes absolutely zero.

Not a trace of hope is left to anyone!

And because they’ve grasped a part of the power of the third step, this practitioner in the Timeless Banhu Realm could now see the overlapping voids of “past and future” upon Tan Shuchang.

A future of nothingness, the deep mystery of You Quan!

A past of nothingness, driving back those who have taken the third step!

This expression may sound a bit topsy-turvy, but the reality is just so. Because those who reach the third step will achieve a temporal loop, thus their past becomes their future.

It’s as though zero equals one, yet one does not exist.

“The Immortal King has been gone for who knows how many years, and because of that legendary door, he will not appear in the present; so which two Fake Immortal Kings are making such a joke?”

This Banhu Realm practitioner couldn’t help but think this.

Because of the departing person’s talents, which were truly lacking, this River of Sword Dao was indeed modeled after that door, flowing between the past and the future – the source of all Sword Dao.

It was by relying on this source of the Sword Dao that she was able to achieve the realm of a Fake Immortal King.

Unlike other cultivators of the Banhu Realm, she was well aware of her limited talents, and after barely managing to reach the second step of the Banhu Realm, she focused solely on becoming the strongest below the third step.

The third step, she never aspired to.

Moreover, according to her memories from her past life in the Ancient Immortal Domain, the realm of the Immortal King was not as perfect as imagined. Those who had stepped into that realm were all attempting to detach themselves from something.
