Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

"Junior Uncle, what is the Sword Inquiry Secret Tome?" Long Zhangyuan unquestionably heard of it for the first time.

"The Sword Inquiry Secret Tome is a grand event for all the sword cultivators under the heavens. At that time, whether they are disciples of the Immortal Sects, Loose Cultivators, or Imperial Cultivators, they will all go and partake in this grand gathering!

Once every ten years, the Sword Tower opens wide; any sword cultivator can ascend the Sword Tower to comprehend the sword dao of their predecessors."

"If everyone is permitted to go, could it be that control over the opening of the Sword Tower lies within the Imperial Court?" Long Zhangyuan said, his face instantly showing surprise.

Because if the Sword Inquiry Secret Tome is as important as this, then logically, the control over the Sword Tower should belong in the hands of Mount Tu Jian.

Even if not, it should alternate between them and the Heavenly Sword Mansion.

After all, in this whole world, is there any place more fitting to manage the Sword Tower than these two great sword cultivation holy lands?

"Indeed, at the very top of that Sword Tower resides a fractured Immortal Sword, left behind by a legendary figure three hundred years ago. However, perhaps due to the Immortal Sword's fracture, its Sword Spirit is fierce beyond comparison, akin to a malevolent ghost.

It requires the vital energy of tens of thousands to subdue it." An elder cultivator from Mount Tu Jian simply explained to Long Zhangyuan.

Long Zhangyuan nodded in understanding—it's no wonder the Imperial Court is entrusted with guarding and controlling the Sword Tower. If Mount Tu Jian were to take on this task, it would be a thankless job.

"The Sword Tower has a total of thirteen floors; the higher one goes, the more formidable the sword dao of the predecessors stored within. Particularly from the seventh floor onward, there are numerous sword dao relics left behind by the Heavenly Sword Mansion.

The Heavenly Sword Mansion has been able to contend with Mount Tu Jian until now; their sword dao surely has something extraordinary about it, which you can refer to and learn from." This Mount Tu Jian elder started to share strategies for tackling the Sword Tower with Long Zhangyuan.

However, this discussion on strategies had barely begun when it was interrupted.

"There are still a few days before the event; there's no rush. Zhang Yuan had undergone arduous training in his dreams and is currently exhausted. Let him go for a walk nearby for now. Zhao Daoist friend has sent a message to me, saying his Dao Companion's disciple is also traveling around this area."

This proposal naturally came from another elder cultivator.

Upon hearing this, the Mount Tu Jian elders present instantly agreed with the suggestion.

"Qingqing is nearby?" Long Zhangyuan couldn't help but show a look of joy, because in his mind, the only person worthy of "Zhao Uncle's" specific mention as a Dao Companion's disciple was none other than Yi Qingqing.

"She's in Fangzhou County City. Go ahead, you indeed need to relax your mind after diving into such a deep state of cultivation."

"Thank you, all the Uncles!"

Long Zhangyuan instantly departed happily.

Meanwhile, the former Demon Sect Master, having kept a distant avoidance to the treasure of Mount Tu Jian as an outsider should, surreptitiously observed this scene. Thoughts began to percolate in the depths of his eyes.

Because allowing their Son of the Heavenly Mandate to repeatedly encounter that seemingly ordinary girl, was something he utterly couldn't fathom.

Even in his view, it was an utterly meaningless affair.

"Mount Tu Jian's grand plan of righteousness has been prepared for a century; they wouldn't engage in such a meaningless endeavor. It seems the secret behind this, I must investigate further."

Upon thinking this, a shadow quietly merged into the darkness, and in the next second, appeared in the city known as Fangzhou County, swiftly locating Yi Qingqing. This was the profound mystery of the 'Shadow Retaining Immortal Secret Tome' when mastered to its fourth volume.

At this moment, Yi Qingqing was standing in a queue.

At the front of the line, the atmosphere seemed peculiar, as everyone was handing over money, only to receive a rolled copybook in return.

Both parties didn't exchange a single word from beginning to end.

Soon, it was Yi Qingqing's turn, and like those before her, she took out three Upper Xuan Grade Seals, handed them over to the other party, and left with the copybook given to her.

This scene left the Demon Lord quite bewildered.

At this point, he noticed someone who had bought a copybook began to flip through it nearby. He thus maneuvered the shadow to stealthily merge with that person's shadow.

In no time, everything the person saw was revealed to the eyes of the Demon Lord.

Then he saw — Tan Shuchang's Cultivation Diary Part Two.

"In such a grand Qitian Pavilion, are they all people from Qitian Pavilion?"

"Don't share your happy events with others, so you quietly walked off with a magic artifact?"

"You're so fast, have you caught up with the person you like?"

As the other party finished reading the rubbings booklet, the Demon Lord also finished reading the content on it.

Even as the former Demon Lord who had seen all sorts of very thoughtful people, at this moment, this Demon Lord felt like he had just had an eye-opening experience.

How did he manage to spout such nonsense with such a straight face that still somehow makes sense?

"Wait a minute..."

"Tan Shuchang's Cultivation Diary? Isn't that the kid?"

"He likes to write cultivation diaries? But it's one thing to write them; how come he's also making templates and selling the rubbings?"

The corners of the Demon Lord's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

But on second thought, it was quite reasonable to stick to the Demon Sect's philosophies, repeatedly talking about the 'Sacred Gate,' and to be doing such things.

Perhaps, the other party was doing this to spread the "Sacred Gate philosophies".

"This position of Demon Lord, it really should be this kid who takes it!" The former Demon Lord thought this and felt somewhat ashamed for himself.

Because he had never been so dedicated.

Forget spreading the "Sacred Gate philosophies", even taking on disciples to impart techniques and expanding the Demon Sect wasn't something he much bothered with, having casually taken only two disciples decades ago, to one he imparted the first two volumes of the Shadow Retaining Immortal Secret Tome, and to the other, only the first volume.

As a result, the former went to join the Hanxia Sect as a "Protective Spirit", and the latter had vanished without a trace for over a decade.

"Speaking of which, if this is Part Two, then where is Part One?"

The Demon Lord soon became interested in finding the other parts and indeed managed to find them.

"Brothers fighting, advise them to kill each other?"

"Demon Cultivators won't die even if they fall off a cliff? This point is indeed correct, as cultivators, even if they cannot yet harness the energy to fly, can still rely on their cultivation to be as light as a feather. However, why does it seem strange when this kid says it?"

"Life doesn't need to be spectacularly successful, being green is good enough? The bald monks cultivating the way of silent meditation on Western Tuo Mountain would want to chop you for saying this!"

"If you can't make enough money from one job, then take on several — that way, you won't have the time to spend money? This makes sense, I'll advise people this way next time."

"..."

After finishing Tan Shuchang's Cultivation Diary Part One, the Demon Lord, for some reason, suddenly felt like he had inadvertently released an unparalleled demon into the world.

"Speaking of which, this cultivation diary seems quite popular. Why is the first part so scarce?"

The Demon Lord was somewhat puzzled, because for the second part of the cultivation diary, out of every ten cultivators in the county city, nearly three had bought that rubbings booklet.

And what was strange was that for the first part, he had searched the entire Fangzhou County, only to find it on a disciple of the Loose Sword Mountain in the end.

It was a young disciple of the Loose Sword Mountain, around the same age as Long Zhangyuan.
