After all, unforeseen factors were inevitable, and since Zhao Huaiji happened to be available to leave, it was decided that he would be responsible for this task.

As for why this was necessary, it was related to the concept of "destined prophecy."

What is destined prophecy?

Put simply, if enough people speak of it and believe in it, including the implicit will of heaven, then it becomes destined prophecy.

And this—was the process of refining a false destined prophecy into a true one!

Long Zhangyuan was that false destined prophecy.

However, such a false destined prophecy could not be assumed by just anyone. Otherwise, Tutian Mountain would not have waited a hundred years for Long Zhangyuan before initiating their righteous plan.

"A few senior brothers, I cannot get in touch with Zhao senior brother. Something may have happened," said the most junior among the old Sword Cultivators of Tutian Mountain, frowning as he approached.

Sword Cultivators of Tutian Mountain had their own communication method, sensing each other through their mastery of the Sword Dao. The more powerful individuals could simply gesture with their fingers as if drawing a sword in the void, materializing the other person’s image to communicate.

Those less skilled needed the aid of external objects, like a pond or pool of water, to do so.

The scene of Zhao Huaiji communicating with his disciple Shi Changkong earlier was an example of this less skilled method.

Regardless of skill level, when trying to contact a fellow sect member, some sort of response was expected. But the person who had just tried to reach Zhao Huaiji felt absolutely nothing.

Hearing this, the other old Cultivators from Tutian Mountain’s ancestrals immediately looked alarmed.

"Zhao Daoist friend has already reached the Integration of Man and Sword, his Sword Qi can be divided into Yin and Yang, and his sword moves can shift from the ethereal to the tangible. If empowered by a magical Spirit-connecting treasure, even facing Nan Jian Su Huan’an, he could fight for several exchanges.

With such strength, even if he encountered an unforeseen mishap, he should not have perished without a trace. Therefore, Zhao Daoist friend must have been temporarily entrapped," said the voice, naturally belonging to the leader of the demonic sect.

Hearing this remark, the old Cultivators from Tutian Mountain nodded in agreement, for they all recognized the validity in the words of the former demonic sect master.

Zhao Huaiji, one of their old ancestral Cultivators from Tutian Mountain, was not among the very peak of the strong but was certainly one of the few powerful beings in the Jiawu Realm, a figure who had stepped into the clouds.

Such a person, if killed, would not die without causing a stir, regardless of the means.

Thus, they asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you found no trace of that little thief?"

The "little thief" mentioned by these old ancestral Cultivators of Tutian Mountain was naturally Tan Shuchang. When Tan Shuchang vanished in an instant, the demonic sect master took the initiative to go in pursuit.

"It’s not the Water Spirit Banner, but a Mountains and Rivers Map. With my strength, it’s difficult to catch up," said the demonic sect master, his face showing a hint of embarrassment.

He did pursue for some distance because he noticed something abnormal about Tan Shuchang at that moment; a "Blood Sea" phenomenon appeared around him, brief as it was, the demonic sect master saw it very clearly.

However, when the "Blood Sea" phenomenon was about to descend in full force, the Mountains and Rivers Map connected with Tan Shuchang’s figure and whisked him away.

The demonic sect master initially thought it was an ordinary Mountains and Rivers Map and chased after it, only to realize he couldn’t catch up! He then understood that it was not a normal Mountains and Rivers Map, but one of the nine precious scrolls of the Mountains and Rivers Map, which had taken the boy away!

For this reason, he had no choice but to turn back.

The Water Spirit Banner is a more advanced product of the "Water Spirit." It is a portable transport item that does not require reliance on water veins like the "Water Spirit" and demands a smaller price for transport.

But the Water Spirit Banner was even less friendly to ordinary cultivators than "Water Spirit."

Cultivators with moderate financial resources, like Ning Jiaheng, could still occasionally make use of "Water Spirit" by relying on their family’s power; or they could choose to serve the imperial court and work for Emperor Yi, thus directly using "Water Spirit" at a low cost and without compensation.

Like Tan Shuchang previously managed, he could barely qualify as working for Emperor Yi, so he could use it without charge. Otherwise, he would have to fork over at least ten Upper Profound Grand Seals to use "Water Spirit" for traveling.

And that Water Spirit Banner, it was something ordinary cultivators had no right to even touch!

Those who owned a treasure like the Water Spirit Banner all had powerful backgrounds. Qiu Junlin’s Water Spirit Banner relied on his father’s position as the Great Pavilion Master of Qitian Pavilion. As for Yi Qingqing, hers was lent to her by Long Zhangyuan.

As for the Mountains and Rivers Map, it was an even more incredible item, as each volume could serve as the treasure that upholds an Immortal Sect!

Because it could transfer an unlimited number of disciples across vast distances!

And these kind of Mountains and Rivers Maps were all just ordinary ones.

If it were one of the nine ultimate precious volumes of the Mountains and Rivers Map, their value goes without saying. After all, even cultivators like the lords of the demonic sects would be helpless upon encountering them.

In the legends, such ultimate precious Mountains and Rivers Maps were the accompanying treasures of near-immortals.

They were also the travel method used by those otherworldly celestial beings and hermit immortals in the era of mythical existence.

...

At this moment, in a forest filled with fluttering snow, Tan Shuchang gave a fist salute to the cultivator before him and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for lending a hand." Continue reading on mvl

When that telekinetic magic artifact struck, Tan Shuchang had been ready to use his Divine Skills of Transcending Calamity and the Unharmed, to no cost, reveal his Undying Blood Form.

At the same time, he was calling for the descent of the Blood Pool.

But at that moment, a force of guidance had descended upon him, hiding him directly in the midst of mountains and rivers.

It was for this reason that Tan Shuchang discovered the demonic sect lord who was tracking him.

Of course, Tan Shuchang didn’t recognize this demonic sect lord, nor did he know that this man was the mysterious predecessor who transmitted the Heavenly Power Treasured Tome to him; he simply thought it was a hidden expert associated with Long Zhangyuan.

This left Tan Shuchang feeling both shock at the shamelessness of Imminent Sword Mountain and an inevitable sense of relief.

So his thanks at this moment were incredibly sincere.

"Haha, no need for thanks, I assume Tan Daoist friend has recognized me, so I won’t introduce myself," laughed the cultivator who had used the ultimate precious Mountains and Rivers Map to rescue Tan Shuchang. He looked very young, in his early twenties, but his distinctive phoenix eyes hinted at a sense of profound world-weariness.

This person was indeed the Sword Young Master, now the famously valiant cultivator laughing heartily.

However, upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang felt a bit embarrassed.

Because he really didn’t recognize who this cultivator was.

The silence from Tan Shuchang did not go unnoticed by the Sword Young Master, and the laughter abruptly stopped. Then, widening his eyes in disbelief, the Sword Young Master pointed at himself and asked, "Do you really not recognize me?"

"I don’t," Tan Shuchang replied.
