Chapter 252 159, have you ever seen the blood at your heart... in the sea?_2
The head of Western Tuo Mountain, upon hearing this, pressed his palms together, equally filled with emotion, "Not an Immortal, but almost."
...
By this time, Tan Shuchang, who had just casually dealt with the troubles of Heavenly Sword Mansion and dissolved the three top Immortal Sects, had already left with Dongdong.
He led the little girl into the Blood Pool.
Instantly, she became immensely curious about the Blood Pool, peering left and right. Then, seemingly on a whim, she summoned her Heavenly Sword.
Next, she dipped it into the bloodwater below, intending to test whether the bloodwater possessed any effect that could diminish the spirit of the sword.
However, as soon as the sword touched the bloodwater,

Dongdong's face froze, and she widened her eyes as if she had discovered something incredibly significant.
And indeed, it was significant.
For at the moment the Spiritual Sword touched the bloodwater, the third condition for compatibility that had never been satisfied before was suddenly met.
As all three conditions were now fulfilled, the Sword Spirit within the Spiritual Treasure actively began communicating with the little girl.
It was to impart the proper way to use the Heavenly Sword.
However, after the instruction, the Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Sword couldn't help but ask, "Do you really like a human that much? Why is there so much blood in your heart? It feels endless! Forget it, forget it. You're the sword's master, so I can't control your overly flamboyant ways, but please, exercise some restraint! Don't have such a broad and strange array of... interests."
The Sword Spirit's voice abruptly stopped because Dongdong, with a darkened expression, sent it back into the Heavenly Sword.
Tan Shuchang naturally noticed the change in the Heavenly Sword in the little girl's hand and turned his gaze toward her, as it was the first time he saw such a drastic change in her expression.
This aroused Tan Shuchang's curiosity about what exactly the Sword Spirit had communicated to the little girl.
"What are you looking at me for?" Dongdong also noticed Tan Shuchang's gaze.
"Nothing, just curious why, after three years, you haven't grown much taller," Tan Shuchang asked with a serious face.
He hadn't grown taller because he was already tall enough and had also stepped into the realm of the Immortals.
But what about this little girl?
He remembered that at her age, she should be growing rapidly!
Seizing this opportunity, the Heavenly Sword slashed through, its domineering Sword Dao force ripping open a rift in the heavens, instantly slaying the three unsuspecting and heavily wounded Ancestors on the spot.
This was the proper usage of the Heavenly Sword that the Sword Spirit had just taught Dongdong: extinguish one's personal feelings first, then replace them with the will of heaven, and finally use that will to slash the physical body!
Such a slash infused with Heaven's Will, if struck by it, even Ascenders who have attained the three proofs would fall in spite and perish.
Of course, the prerequisite is to be like this girl, who could borrow fifty years of someone's Daoist practice.
Otherwise, one wouldn't be able to execute Heaven's Will Slash.
Tan Shuchang had been ready to strike a secondary blow, but did not anticipate that with the spiritual treasure he had lent her, this girl would be able to slay the three Ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain with a single sword strike.
Thus, he disregarded the bodies of the three Ancestors, which were soaked in the Blood Pool, and presented the Ancestors of Guan He Xi Tuo Mountain, as well as Sect Leader Qian, all for this girl to see.
"You try it," Tan Shuchang said, wishing to see if Dongdong could break through the defenses of these three with that same move.
Dongdong couldn't help but give Tan Shuchang a glance.
She could hardly believe that this demon cultivator had subdued six Ascenders with three proofs! Although their powers were restrained by heaven and earth, with the foundation of three proofs, their strength was undoubtedly far superior to other Immortals with just one proof.
Immediately thereafter, Dongdong raised her Heavenly Sword again and, with the realm of the Sword Heart Universe, executed the Heaven's Will Slash.
But this time, it was ineffective.
The Immortal Sect's power, not even taking a visible form, easily neutralized the Heaven's Will Slash.
Meanwhile, as the two of them were thus engaged, the three corpses from Sword Disciple Mountain had already transformed into ghostly beings.
However, these three ghostly beings were very "refined," as they looked identical to living people, except for their lack of breath.
Within the Blood Pool, the might of these three ghostly beings instantly soared to the peak of one proof. Were it not for Jiawu Realm's prohibition against the existence of beings with two proofs, these ghostly beings would not have stopped there.
Although they were limited to one proof, the strength of these three ghostly beings clearly far surpassed that of the previous incarnations.
Seeing this, Tan Shuchang naturally proceeded joyfully to subdue and refine them.
These three ghostly beings were impressive, and by refining them, Tan Shuchang gained many memory scenes, including some relating to Divine Skills of the Sword Dao, the powers from all sides of the Land of the Four Pillars, and even scenes of a Sword Immortal lecturing.
This allowed Tan Shuchang to gain further insight into the Land of the Four Pillars.
As Tan Shuchang finished his cultivation, Dongdong blinked her large eyes with unmistakable curiosity and asked, "What exactly happened with the bodies of the three Ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain? Weren't they all supposed to have ascended three hundred years ago?"
"I'll take you out first, then explain slowly," Tan Shuchang replied, as these matters were somewhat lengthy to discuss.
