Being treated as a stepping stone for a protagonist was an all too familiar ordeal for Tan Shuchang, considering it had been only sixteen years.
That year, he had decapitated his mentor's head and descended from Black Heart Mountain.
Also that year, by sabotaging the Son of the Heavenly Mandate's plan of the Disciple Sword Mountain, he had become the predestined stepping stone for the Son of the Heavenly Mandate!
Intending to use him to make that Son of the Heavenly Mandate famous all over the world.
Unthinkably, after going around and around for sixteen years, having cultivated to the Triple Proof Realm and close to mastering the Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law, he was still about to face being treated as a "stepping stone"?
Such high and mighty arrangements by destiny truly made one feel utterly disgruntled from the bottom of one's heart!
