Lin Chang’sheng figured, there was no way the Celestial Ghost Sect didn’t have Foundation Establishnt cultivators in Giant Whale City.
If it’s just soone at the first layer of Foundation Establishnt, that’s manageable, but if it’s soone in the middle stage, then things get dicey.
Thinking of this, Lin Chang’sheng imdiately waved his hand, gathering up all his belongings, and headed out. He planned to go straight toward Yu Kun Cave Mansion to find a hidden spot to lay low.
......
"Just a asly first layer Foundation Establishnt? Tonight is your death sentence!"
One hundred feet from Spirit Cultivation Inn, Xuan Jing, dressed in black, stood in a shadowed corner, watching the inn, a sinister look in his eyes.
Xuan Jing was a core disciple of the Celestial Ghost Sect, currently at the second layer of Foundation Establishnt, his father Xuan Ting was a Golden Core Elder of the Sect.
This ti, he and his younger brother Xuan Gu had co under the lead of a senior brother at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishnt, tasked with secretly infiltrating Giant Whale City for the Celestial Ghost Sect, laying groundwork for their future expansion into the Southern Realm’s Cultivation World.
Because word had spread that Yu Kun Divine Monarch’s Cave Mansion was about to open, Xuan Gu and the eighth layer senior brother headed for the cave mansion.
He, anwhile, held the post here with more than fifty Celestial Ghost Sect disciples.
Who could’ve guessed—
Four of his disciples were slain by so unknown Foundation Establishnt first layer cultivator!
Since the timing wasn’t right, the sect couldn’t show its hand openly, so they would have to wait until tonight to kill this cultivator, or catch him once he leaves the city!
"Huh?"
"He actually left the city!"
"A heaven-sent opportunity!"
Seeing this, Xuan Jing’s eyes flashed with bloodlust. His figure flickered, and he sped off after him.
........
Lin Chang’sheng was quick.
Just over an hour later—
He was out of the city.
"Second layer Foundation Establishnt!"
Lin Chang’sheng glanced over his shoulder, his gaze turning cold—he could sense he was being tailed!
But he wasn’t afraid of a second layer Foundation Establishnt foe.
He had a Copper Corpse at second layer Foundation Establishnt.
And his own strength was at Foundation Establishnt first layer—but, he possessed a Flawless Dao Foundation, making his magical power exceptionally pure. Up against a second layer, he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage!
Upon leaving the city, Lin Chang’sheng pulled out his Immortal Slaying Saber and took flight on his blade!
Instantly, he shot forward like a bolt of lightning across the sky.
"Hell yeah!"
Riding his blade in midair, Lin Chang’sheng felt on top of the world. Spreading his divine sense back, he didn’t spot the black-clad stalker, but he stayed cautious and pushed his speed faster.
Half an hour later, he dropped down in a valley stretching for several miles; as soon as he landed, over a dozen array banners appeared in his hand.
These were all array banners he’d personally refined—one after another, he sent them flying to embed around the valley, instantly forming the Tiger Killing Death Array!
At the sa ti—
Lin Chang’sheng set up the Illusionary Stone Collection Array, with the Five Elents Array chained around the outer periter.
Once everything was set, Lin Chang’sheng sat cross-legged on a boulder outside the array, popped a Yuan Condensing Pill, started circulating his cultivation technique, drawing in the dicinal power, while glancing at his panel.
"Huh? One Yuan Condensing Pill only gives 200 experience points now?"
Finishing the pill, Lin Chang’sheng stared at the experience bar, eyes wide. He knew for sure—back at Qi Refining ninth layer, one Yuan Condensing Pill had earned him 2,000 experience points.
Who would’ve thought—
After reaching Foundation Establishnt, the Yuan Condensing Pill’s effectiveness dropped tenfold!
"But, right now, advancing from first to second layer Foundation Establishnt only costs 1,000 experience points. So, all I need is five Yuan Condensing Pills to max out!"
Lin Chang’sheng studied the panel, calculating to himself.
Still—
Even though the XP gain from pills dropped, after the panel updated and he hit Foundation Establishnt level, the XP needed per level was now just 1,000—a 200-point pill wasn’t too shabby.
anwhile—
Fifty miles outside Giant Whale City—
A youth clad in black streaked forward, feet riding a flying sword!
"You bastard! Killed my sect’s disciples, and you think you’ll get away?!"
Xuan Jing’s eyes narrowed, he pushed his speed even higher.
Soon after—
Xuan Gu arrived above the valley, gripping a strand of black mist and letting it drift down toward the valley!
"Got him!"
From his vantage point, Xuan Jing’s eyes glead with savage intent as he landed in the valley. Spotting the skinny middle-aged man seated atop a boulder, he fixed him with a murderous look, saying, "Old bastard, why aren’t you running?"
"You little shit, what did you just say?"
Lin Chang’sheng stood, glaring at the black-clad youth, eyes narrowing, then turned on his heel to leave.
"Where do you think you’re going!"
Seeing the skinny middle-aged guy trying to walk, Xuan Jing instantly flashed forward, right behind him, as the magic sword in his hand swelled to three zhang with the wind and hacked forward!
With one swing, a fierce aura raged through the area!
The surrounding grasses and trees bowed down under the pressure!
Ssssh!
But what Xuan Jing didn’t expect—his sword attack didn’t explode with the earth-shattering roar he imagined. Instead, the scene before his eyes flickered, and suddenly he was standing in a forest, with five fierce tigers pouncing toward him!
"An array?"
Xuan Jing’s eyes narrowed. These five tigers weren’t much of a threat to a Foundation Establishnt cultivator like him—their level was too low. With a single swing, he took out all five!
But then—
The next mont, his brow furrowed. After slicing the five tigers in half, they instantly reford, lunging at him again. And the cycle continued—endlessly, relentlessly!
"Break for !"
Xuan Jing’s face shifted, flying up on his sword. He knew, if he wanted out of these tiger illusions, he had to break the array!
The tigers might not hurt him, but their endless cycle was driving him nuts.
"Boom!"
Just then, Xuan Jing felt an imminent, deadly sense of danger behind him. He whirled his spirit sword, cleaving backward, striking a Copper Bell with a resonant ’wooong’!
