Originally, he had wanted Dai Huanzhen to befriend Tan Shuchang, but now he had asked Dai Huanzhen to pass on a message.
His power of the Sword Dao was not to be manifested trivially before others.
The restrictions of the Jiawu Realm on them, the former tri-validated Ascenders, were indeed too great.
"What kind of deal?" asked Tan Shuchang, and he directly skipped over the matter of Dai Huanzhen mentioning becoming his disciple. After all, he hadn't even attained the initiation into immortality, so how could he dare teach others how to cultivate?
Wouldn't that be misguiding the young!
Moreover, Tan Shuchang had no intention of establishing power in the Jiawu Realm since it was of no use to him in acquiring fierce spirits.
It couldn't help him attack the Land of Yin and Darkness, so what use was it?
