Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

His birth mother!

At this moment, Tan Shuchang saw the impressive Heavenly Gang Orthodox True Immortal bow to him, so he revealed his form from outside this strange game world.

He fist-palmed and returned the gesture, then with a gentle tone and a smile, he asked, "Tan Shuchang has met this fellow Daoist, may I ask where you come from? And for what purpose?"

"Zhou Shan greets fellow Daoist! I come from the Primordial Heavenly Realm, but originally, I ascended from the Land of Netherworld."

"Ascended from the Land of Netherworld?" Tan Shuchang was surprised upon hearing this.

Because as far as he knew, there were only four who had ascended from the Land of Netherworld. They were the Extreme Yin Immortal, True Self Child, Flowing Clouds and Flying Snow Supreme Master, and Gentlemanly Immortal, all of whom were only at the Earth Fiend Orthodox Law Dao Fruit level.

"I and a few other fellow Daoists ascended shortly after a change occurred in the Land of Netherworld. Soon after ascending, the Immortal Court appeared, and coincidentally, we had old grievances with the four True Immortal Masters of the Immortal Court, so we hid until today." Zhou Shan saw Tan Shuchang's confusion and took the initiative to explain.

"A change in the Land of Netherworld?" Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang immediately recognized the unusual aspect of this Zhou Shan fellow Daoist.

He had ascended from the Land of Netherworld and evaded the Immortal Court, not appearing in the world until Tan Shuchang had fully awakened to his own identity as the new "number" of the Ghost Path Immortals and taken complete control of the mysterious game world; then, this person had actively sought him out.

Clearly, Zhou Shan possessed some kind of original power from the Land of Netherworld!

Thinking this, Tan Shuchang asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhou Shan, are there four others with you?"

Because he thought of the Five-Fold Calamity.

Only such power would allow several Heavenly Gang Orthodox True Immortals to remain at large after offending the four True Immortal Masters of the Immortal Court.

"Daoist Tan, you truly are a fellow Daoist indeed!" Zhou Shan laughed immediately upon hearing this.

Indeed, there were four others.

Their names were: Wu Zhan, Kong Qing, Zhi Jian, and Sheng Jie.

"May I ask fellow Daoist, do you know what the Killing Calamity is?" Zhou Shan then inquired.

Tan Shuchang heard this but did not answer; he merely condensed the power of the "Killing Calamity" from within the mysterious game world.

It was an unseen force.

However, after Tan Shuchang concentrated it, Zhou Shan directly witnessed a great Killing Calamity aimed at himself, the ferocity of its slaughter causing his complexion to turn slightly pale.

But while his face turned pale, his eyes were filled with excitement.

For this was the other half of the strange power he possessed!

Named Zhou Shan, he would assist his fellow Daoists with all the power at his disposal, and would not refuse to do so. The power he controlled was in fact a manifestation of half of the Killing Calamity!

With it, he could set in place a false fate for someone, a fate rife with hidden dangers!

If they could discern the truth, they could emerge unscathed; but if they were ensnared and unable to extricate themselves, then they would fulfill that false fate.

"Daoist Tan, by revealing such awesome power, are you seeking our help with something?" Zhou Shan asked with boundless joy, and in his speech, there was already a clear tone of respect.

Clearly, he was ready to follow Tan Shuchang's lead.

"Although Tan indeed wants to accomplish something, at the start, I truly had no intention of seeking the five of you. I only felt that this Immortal Court, these True Immortals from the Primordial Heavenly Realm, needed the power of tribulation to assist in their cultivation," Tan Shuchang said very candidly.

"It is so, Daoist Tan, please wait a moment, I shall summon the other four Daoists to lend a hand!" Zhou Shan was surprised by the words but remained resolved in his decision.

Especially since he had already seen the possibility of restoring the original state of the Land of Netherworld through Tan Shuchang.

Having achieved what he had today thanks to the Land of Netherworld, he ought to repay it with his life!

After Zhou Shan had spoken these words, it took only a moment for four figures to arrive in succession.

Two men and two women, each with an exceptionally distinguished aura, nothing like the Ghost Path True Immortals and even seeming more like members of the Immortal Clan than the True Immortals of the Immortal Court!

"Wu Zhan, of All Beings' Calamity, greets Daoist Tan!"

"Kong Qing, Turbid Tribulation! I've met Daoist Tan!"

"Zhi Jian, Seeking Realm! I've met Daoist Tan!"

"Sheng Jie, Heavenly Tribulation! I've met Daoist Tan!"

These four arriving Heavenly Gang Righteous Law True Immortals spoke in turn, declaring their sects, and also revealing the source of their extraordinary abilities.

"Tan Shuchang, as the fellow Daoists have seen, greetings to you all!" Tan Shuchang returned their greetings immediately after the four had performed theirs, and then he shared the trouble he was facing.

"My friends, I wish to use this realm to invite the True Immortals from the Primordial Heavenly Realm to undergo their Tribulation, but given the imposing power of a True Immortal, I'm unsure how to proceed. Do any of you have a solution?"

Inviting True Immortals from the Primordial Heavenly Realm was not difficult, but the power of such True Immortals was far too terrifying. Even though this strange game world was derived from the Ancestor of the Dao's creations, it had little restraining power over the might of such True Immortals.

Moreover, the life and death of a True Immortal is inherently beyond conventional understanding.

Therefore, even within this strange game world, unless Tan Shuchang used the Blood Pool to collect their souls, a fallen Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter could directly utilize the Essence of Taiyin outside to recondense a physical body.

But if that were to happen, then there would be no need for Tan Shuchang to go through such trouble.

At his level, how to advance one's Cultivation Realm was the key issue. Collecting the souls of Ghost Path True Immortals, on the other hand, was just an incidental matter.

Secondary, rather than primary.

"This is not difficult. The power within us is of the same origin as the Five-Fold Calamity here. As long as we merge with this heaven and earth and become part of it, then as long as it is not a Heaven's Authority's True Immortal, their life and death can be reverted to the state before their immortality, that is, to sever their Undying Nature!"

Wu Zhan spoke without any hesitation upon hearing this.

After saying this, Wu Zhan looked at Tan Shuchang and asked, "Daoist Tan, the five of us are willing to do this, but I wonder if you are prepared to restore the Land of Netherworld to its original state?"

"Restore the natural order of heaven and earth? I currently lack such capacity," Tan Shuchang replied, shaking his head slightly.

However, upon hearing Tan Shuchang's response, Zhou Shan, Wu Zhan, Kong Qing—all five showed an expression of surprise, and then Zhou Shan said, "It seems Daoist Tan's knowledge far surpasses our own. If that's the case, then please do as much as you can!"

With Zhou Shan setting the course, Wu Zhan, Kong Qing, and the other two naturally had no objections.

"Then I shall trouble the five Daoists!" Tan Shuchang gave a solemn bow.

Zhou Shan and the others returned the gesture, and the next instant, the five earliest Ghost Path True Immortals to ascend from the Land of Netherworld transformed into five rainbows and merged with the strange game world.

Instantly, the appearance of the strange game world dramatically changed!

The Snake Desire Realm and Ancient Sword Immortal Domain vanished, the Realm of Non-Birth and Bitter Buddha Realm once again appeared, serving as covers for the former two realms. In addition to that, five grand domains were created.

Zhou Shan Realm, Kong Qing Realm, Wu Zhan Realm, Sheng Jie Realm, Zhi Jian Realm.

These five great domains gathered the power of the Five-Fold Calamity, endowing the entire strange game world with the power to sever the Undying Nature of the Righteous True Immortals of Earthly Slaughter and the Heavenly Gang Orthodox True Immortals in a blink of an eye.

However, due to the vast difference in strength between Earthly Fiend Orthodox True Immortals and Heavenly Gang Orthodox True Immortals, the degree to which their Undying Nature could be severed also varied greatly.

The Earthly Evil Extreme could sever ninety percent of the Undying Nature, while the Extreme of Heavenly Gang could only sever thirty percent.

The reason for this was that the power of these Five-Fold Calamities had only just begun to manifest and needed more time to be nurtured. Once fully cultivated, this power of the Five-Fold Calamities would be able to instantly sever the entire Undying Nature of someone at the Extreme of Heavenly Gang!

And a True Immortal without Undying Nature would be nothing more than a cultivator who had reached the apex of the Second Proof of Unity.

Suddenly, the previously somewhat deserted strange game world became bustling with activity.

Watching the significant changes to the strange game world, Tan Shuchang couldn't help but ponder, feeling that the name "strange game world" was no longer quite fitting.

"In that case, from this day forth, this place shall be renamed the Minor Immortal Realm!" Tan Shuchang nodded slightly, clearly very pleased with this new name he had chosen.

If Leiyin Temple could have a minor, then it was perfectly reasonable for his place to be called the Minor Immortal Realm.

"Next, let the invitations be widely sent, asking all True Immortal friends to attend the carefree Immortal Banquet of Heaven's Authority in the Minor Immortal Realm!" This carefree Immortal Banquet of Heaven's Authority was, of course, a name newly coined by Tan Shuchang.

The main thing is to sound appealing.
