Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!-Chapter 569 - 306, Whose good person is in charge of resurrection and healing wounds

Chapter 569: 306, Whose good person is in charge of resurrection and healing wounds Chapter 569: 306, Whose good person is in charge of resurrection and healing wounds Karma Venerable, after achieving the Dao, reneged on his own foundational principles, resulting in his self-imprisonment, just like an “Earth-bound Spirit,” unable to leave the Mysterious Realm Heaven he established.

Tan Shuchang had known this for a long time.

Yet what he hadn’t anticipated was that Karma Venerable couldn’t escape the Mysterious Realm Heaven even at his past most powerful moments!

Wasn’t this a kind of backlash from heaven and earth?

In an instant, Tan Shuchang’s understanding of the phrase “water can float a boat, but it can also sink it” deepened significantly. This made the half-step he had originally taken transform directly into two full steps.

Each individual in the Banhu Realm must traverse a unique path from their first step of cultivation to the second step of being Timeless.

Now with these two steps taken, it meant that only the last step remained for him to become “Timeless.”

...

The Banhu Realm comprised three steps, and equally, from the first to the second step involved three stages.

Initially, Karma Venerable was no match for Tan Shuchang, and now with Tan Shuchang’s significant increase in power, Karma Venerable was even less of a match. Therefore, within moments, the return of Karma Venerable’s peak moments also collapsed.

But the Banhu Realm is still the Banhu Realm; merely moments after collapsing, Karma Venerable’s flesh and soul regenerated instantly, unkillable.

Karmic Fire raged!

The entire Mysterious Realm Heaven, unable to withstand the power of the Karmic Fire, shattered into pieces.

For a time, countless Karmic Fire fell.

In the Heavenly Realm lived gods, the ancient True Immortals who first followed Karma Venerable and consequently controlled the powers of the Heavenly Realm. Around these self-proclaimed Heavenly Gods, numerous descendants of the gods were born.

This generation was somewhat antagonistic towards the True Immortals of the Five Layered World, but for the time, the unfortunate ones were those ancient True Immortals claiming to be Heavenly Gods.

To Tan Shuchang, the Karmic Fire was not something to fear.

He didn’t understand why before, and he still doesn’t.

But for those gods of the Heavenly Realm, it was certainly to be feared because the Karmic Fire would reflect all their past actions. If there were sins, those sins would transform into fire, annihilating both their physical and spiritual forms.

Though Karma Venerable was no match for Tan Shuchang, he was after all from the Banhu Realm. Even if he turned away from his path, the Karmic Fire, as part of his Daoist capabilities, was no ordinary element.

Countless Karmic Fires fell, reflecting numerous past events, and then; the Heavenly Gods seemed to turn into fireworks, constantly igniting and extinguishing.

These ancient True Immortals of the Heavenly Realm used all kinds of methods, struggling desperately, but in the face of the Karmic Fire fueled by their own sins, everything was in vain.

For a time, countless True Immortals cried and pleaded for Karma Venerable to withdraw his Divine Skills.

However, the Karma Venerable they prayed to was already past the point of help.

The sky suddenly went dark, indicating the complete collapse of the Mysterious Realm Heaven, and then two figures fell into the Heavenly Realm, one after the other.

“Daoist friend, do you really intend to press for total annihilation? We are both of the Banhu Realm, and it’s impossible for you to truly kill me!” Karma Venerable said, his face darkening.

“Karmic Fire consumes gods, from start to finish,” Tan Shuchang responded calmly upon hearing this.

Now seeing the scene in the Heavenly Realm, he naturally understood the use of Karmic Fire and why all beings here feared the Karmic Fire so deeply.

Because in front of Karmic Fire, everything is exposed.

No matter what identity, what connection one might have with Karma Venerable, whatever one had done or achieved in the past, none of that was important.

Karmic Fire only looks at sins. If there are none, the Karmic Fire passes through like wind, leaving no harm. But if there are—your sins will be visited upon you!

“Do you seek an explanation for this world?” Karma Venerable suddenly understood the implications of Tan Shuchang’s words.

“This world owes you nothing, Daoist friend, yet you owe this world greatly. You even created this bizarre version of the Five Layered World for your personal desires,” said Tan Shuchang in a calm tone.

This was also the fundamental reason he had sent his only disciple to the Five Layered World.

At the time, Tan Shuchang hadn’t made his intentions clear because he harbored feelings of resentment. But his only disciple, worthily sealed and suppressed by several from the Banhu Realm, managed to connect with this world’s Heaven in just a few hundred years.

“Daoist friend, aren’t you meddling a bit too broadly?” Karma Venerable, hearing Tan Shuchang speak thus, visibly soured. The truth, after all, is often unpleasant to hear.

“I forgot to say, Daoist friend, there’s one thing you might have misunderstood,” Tan Shuchang suddenly said.

“What is it?” Karma Venerable couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Anyone would be taken aback upon hearing such words from someone far stronger than themselves.

“I’m not here to seek an explanation from you, nor am I asking you to give one to this world. Rather, I want you to provide an explanation that satisfies me,” Tan Shuchang said calmly.

And with that, he struck again!

It was all the same in the cycle of change!

It was as if the world instantly went through an apocalypse and then rebirthed all spirits, where even a Banhu Realm being like Karma Venerable could not avoid falling directly.

But in the next instant, as the afterimage of the Mysterious Realm Heaven appeared, Karma Venerable was restored to his original state.

However, at this moment, Karma Venerable was no longer at his peak, and his cultivation of the Banhu Realm showed intense fluctuations.

“Dear friend, with your assistance, my cultivation has improved slightly. This ability, ‘Water that can bear a boat can also capsize it,’ I now give to you, wishing you a smooth journey ahead!”

Tan Shuchang spoke at this moment, and then his typical manner of acting suddenly changed.

Countless Karmic Fires within the heavens and earth began to converge towards Tan Shuchang, and after he took three steps, they directly landed around Karma Venerable.

“Do you intend to kill me with Karmic Fire?” Karma Venerable asked, as if he had heard a very funny joke, unable to suppress a mocking smile.

However, in the next instant, Karma Venerable became panic-stricken.

Because the Karmic Fire truly could kill him!

The Karmic Fire soared to the skies, just as before, but this time, as the Karmic Fire surged like muddy waves filling the sky, Karma Venerable’s face revealed an utterly terrified expression.

It was this Karmic Fire burning his cultivation—his foundation of enlightenment!

Karma Venerable had achieved the Banhu Realm, using a method of enlightenment that involved acquiring a position in the heavens and earth to step into this realm.

Initially, when Ancestor of the Dao, Shi Xin, managed the task of complementing the Ten Desolations, his goal was also to acquire that position in the Banhu Realm.

Perhaps this experience came from Karma Venerable.

Now, as Tan Shuchang uttered “Water that can bear a boat can also capsize it,” the position in the Banhu Realm that Karma Venerable had acquired was slowly dissolving!

Karma Venerable began to struggle, just like those True Immortals from the Heavenly Realm had before, but naturally, it was all in vain.

In just a moment, the former Banhu Realm Karma Venerable was left with only the cultivation of Heaven’s Authority’s Extreme.

“Dear friend, you are right; as a fellow in the Banhu Realm, I cannot truly kill you, but what if you are merely at Heaven’s Authority’s Extreme?” Tan Shuchang’s voice also rose at this time.

His expression was calm, his tone gentle, but as he spoke, he suddenly became ethereal and elusive, as if he had never existed in this world.

“Dear friend, whatever satisfactory resolution you desire, whatever your demands, I can fulfill them!” pleaded Karma Venerable, terror mixed with resentment, yet he dared only beg for mercy.

He wanted to beg for mercy.

Because Tan Shuchang’s tactic of “Water that can bear a boat can also capsize it” had undoubtedly terrified him completely.

“Don’t worry, dear Karma Venerable, I will not kill you.”

Tan Shuchang spoke thus, then with a flick of his hand, the Number One Demon of the Fifth Layered Heaven and the Great Green Flood Dragon of the Fourth Layer were freed from their heavenly shackles and returned to their true forms.

Then, Tan Shuchang did not summon the other Heaven’s Authority’s Extremes from the heavens and earth but merely took out an object, saying, “This object was created by imitating the enlightenment process of the Banhu Realm. Activating it multiple times can help one understand the key to enlightenment in the Banhu Realm. The only downside is that it requires the joint effort of five Heaven’s Authority’s Extremes to activate.”

This object was that special artifact.

Now that he had taken it out, it clearly was not just about giving away an opportunity for enlightenment.

As the person directly involved, Karma Venerable instantly understood Tan Shuchang’s intention behind this action, and his face turned extremely sour, yet he did not dare utter a word in opposition.

As the saying goes, the joys and sorrows of others are not interconnected. When Karma Venerable was suffering, the other Heaven’s Authority’s Extremes in the world were overwhelmingly excited.

Especially the Number One Demon and the Great Green Flood Dragon.

Originally bound by heaven, they had no hope for enlightenment, even though the chances were extremely slim to begin with—zero and 0.1 are, after all, completely different concepts.

Who would have thought that a Banhu Realm being would not only free them from their shackles but also grant them an opportunity for enlightenment?

“I wish all my fellow Dao friends early success in your enlightenment! I await the good news from you all in the Long River of Time!”

Tan Shuchang bowed in respect, and then he and his sole disciple departed.

“We send off the senior!”

One by one, the Heaven’s Authority’s Extremes materialized and bowed deeply in the direction of Tan Shuchang’s departure.

True Immortal World.

Above the Blood Sea, on the Immortal Soil, Tan Shuchang had thrown down an artifact.

Then, he said, “For your injuries, I have two solutions. The first is for you to jump into the Blood Sea, die outright, but I would bring you back from the Long River of Time; the second is to use this piece of Immortal Soil to suppress your injuries, then slowly recover. In doing so, you might have a slim chance of mastering Karmic Fire and achieving enlightenment in the Five Layers World.”

He had given away an opportunity for enlightenment, but the world on the other side was a bit special because the position of Banhu Realm in question was in the Five Layers World, not in the Heavenly Realm.

And the prerequisite for obtaining the Banhu Realm position in the Five Layers World was mastering Karmic Fire.

“Master, I choose the second option!”

She chose the latter without hesitation, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes.

It seemed like a choice, but was it really a choice?

The first solution, although technically a “success” in healing because there were no injuries left, was essentially just dying and being resurrected.

Who heals in such a manner!

Master, you must be a quack!

Hearing this, Tan Shuchang glanced at her, then merely smiled and nodded, not explaining the hidden advantages.
