Fifty miles away.
Yu Lingfei, dressed in white, was also searching everywhere for any sign of Lin Chang’sheng.
In her heart, she wanted to find Lin Chang’sheng, but at the sa ti, she didn’t want to find him.
She wanted to find him because she hadn’t had the chance to properly thank Lin Chang’sheng for leading them out of the Spirit-Seizing Land during the formation break.
A debt of life isn’t sothing that can be repaid with just a simple thank you.
This ti in the Void Hall, Yu Lingfei had found two Divine Origin Fruits; she took one herself and intended to give the other to Lin Chang’sheng.
The Divine Origin Fruit is of trendous help for any cultivator at the Golden Core Stage in their cultivation.
Not only does it have amazing effects for breakthroughs, but it also nurtures the Divine Sense.
She didn’t want to find him, because the Celestial Concealnt Divine Master had issued a warrant for his arrest. If Lin Chang’sheng appeared, he’d be dead for sure.
Even though Lin Chang’sheng is formidable, a true prodigy among monsters,
With his Golden Core Cultivation, there’s no way he could take on a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Hmm? The Celestial Concealnt Divine Master left?"
Yu Lingfei was surprised as she watched the Celestial Concealnt in the sky tear through the air and leave.
She’d thought the Celestial Concealnt Divine Master wouldn’t rest until he found Lin Chang’sheng. She didn’t expect he’d leave so quickly?
But that absolutely doesn’t an he’s giving up on hunting down Lin Chang’sheng.
After all, Lin Chang’sheng killed the Beimu Saint Heir—a figure that symbolizes the Beimu Immortal Race’s status.
It was a slap in the face to the Beimu Immortal Race, no doubt about it.
At least, with the Celestial Concealnt Divine Master gone, Lin Chang’sheng should be safe for the mont.
"Brother Lin, you have to be careful and look after yourself!"
Yu Lingfei furrowed her elegant brows with worry, hoping she’d be able to hand the Divine Origin Fruit to Lin Chang’sheng herself one day.
...
Ti passed in a flash—three days had gone by.
Once many cultivators realized they couldn’t find any trace of Lin Chang’sheng, they all left one after another, spreading out their searches.
More than ten thousand miles from the Void Divine Hall, in a sprawling mountain forest—
[Celestial One Immortal Slaying Technique at Perfection]
[Arrow Shadow Maze at Perfection]
[Nine-Star Soaring Cloud Step at Perfection]
After three relentless days, all three Treasure Manuals had finally been cultivated to perfection.
[Detected Perfection in Celestial One Immortal Slaying Technique and Invisible Celestial Blade. Combine?]
[Detected Perfection in Arrow Shadow Maze, Purple Lightning Cloud-Piercing Arrow Skill, and teor Fire Rain. Combine?]
[Detected Nine-Star Soaring Cloud Step and Near at Hand both at Perfection. Combine?]
In the next instant, the panel popped up three red prompts.
Lin Chang’sheng confird the first two options. As for the last one, he held off, since his Gale Cloud-piercing Technique hadn’t reached perfection yet.
He’d wait until both body technique manuals were perfected and then combine them for an even better effect.
[Cultivation Immortality Technique—Celestial One Immortal Slaying Technique (Perfection), Invisible Celestial Blade (Perfection)—combining... Combination successful... Gained: Immortal-slaying Celestial Blade!]
[Cultivation Immortality Arrow Technique—Arrow Shadow Maze (Perfection), Purple Thunder Cloud-Piercing Technique (Perfection), teor Fire Rain (Perfection)—combining... Combination successful... Gained Divine Power: Celestial Thunder and Fla Arrow Technique!]
"Immortal-slaying Celestial Blade? Celestial Thunder and Fla Arrow Technique?"
Lin Chang’sheng’s lips curved up when he saw the two newly combined cultivation immortality treasure manuals.
With nas like these, they’ve got to be no joke—their power is bound to be overwhelming.
[Detected Immortal-slaying Celestial Blade. Spend 2,500 Spirit Stones to simplify it?]
[Detected Celestial Thunder and Fla Arrow Technique. Spend 2,500 Spirit Stones to simplify it?]
The panel prompted again in the next mont.
"Yes!"
Lin Chang’sheng clicked yes without hesitation.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Immortal-slaying Celestial Blade... Simplification complete... Immortal-slaying Celestial Blade == Swing Your Blade at the Heavens!]
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Celestial Thunder and Fla Arrow Technique... Simplification complete... Celestial Thunder and Fla Arrow Technique == Flaming Arrow!]
"Swing Your Blade at the Heavens? Flaming Arrow?"
It’s simple and brutal—Lin Chang’sheng really liked it.
He grabbed a lower grade magical artifact long saber and swung it above his head.
There was a stone ceiling above, but it counted as "at the heavens," right? Wonder if it worked?
Immortal-slaying Celestial Blade experience points 1!
Immortal-slaying Celestial Blade experience points 1!
...
To his surprise, slashing upward at the ceiling in the stone cave actually helped him gain proficiency.
Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t expected that.
He then gathered so wood, lit it with magical power, and began burning arrows over the fla.
Celestial Thunder and Fla Arrow Technique experience points 1!
Celestial Thunder and Fla Arrow Technique experience points 1!
...
Watching the experience points of his two new combined cultivation immortality secret techniques climb steadily,
Lin Chang’sheng suddenly felt hopeful for the future.
"Let’s grind Immortal-slaying Celestial Blade and Celestial Thunder and Fla Arrow Technique to perfection, then refine the Black Tortoise Battle Armor."
Right now, Lin Chang’sheng had zero intention of leaving his hideout.
At the very least, he’d wait another ten or fifteen days.
If he ran into that old sack of bones, Celestial Concealnt, it’d be real trouble.
Lin Chang’sheng planned to lay low for now and boost every skill and ability he could.
When he was done, then he’d go out and chase after new opportunities.
After all, Lin Chang’sheng understood that biting off more than you can chew leads nowhere good.
This Black Tortoise Battle Armor was also an ancient treasure, with three layers of array restrictions inside.
Refine the first restriction, and the armor’s powers could block a full power strike from a cultivator at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
Refine the second restriction, and it could block a full strength attack from a Golden Core Peak opponent.
Refine the third restriction, and it could withstand a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Early Stage.
If he could refine all three restrictions, then even facing a Nascent Soul master, Lin Chang’sheng would have a life-saving trump card.
...
Ti flew by.
More than half a month passed in a blink.
Many of the cultivators searching for Lin Chang’sheng in hopes of a reward had already given up.
Lin Chang’sheng seed to have vanished from thin air—never appearing again.
anwhile, his legend spread across the Southern Realm Cultivation Realm and beyond,
Amazing countless cultivators.
...
Great Yu, Imperial Palace.
On a throne of pure gold sat a graceful woman in a golden robe and crown.
This woman was none other than Yu Wenjing, who’d been separated from Lin Chang’sheng for so ti.
Clad in her imperial robes, she radiated authority and dignity.
Below, nurous generals and ministers kneeled, not a single one daring to look up at her.
"Your Majesty, the Beimu cultivators are on a rampage—they’ve already conquered several Zhao Kingdom and Jin Kingdom cities. Our Great Yu has lost one entire prefecture and twelve cities. If this keeps up, I fear we’ll end up just like Zhao and Jin—wiped out!"
One general spoke up in defeat below.
They were re mortals; how could they possibly fight those who cultivated the Immortal Dao?
Those Immortal Masters could take hundreds or thousands of lives with a single gesture.
Even the Great Immortal Sects of the Southern Domain had suffered losses to the Beimu Immortal Race and retreated again and again.
They could barely defend themselves at this point.
"Your Majesty, our strength is leagues away from theirs. For the sake of the people of Great Yu, I believe surrender is our best option!"
One civil official in a black hat made this suggestion.
Yu Wenjing’s brows furrowed at these words from the throne.
"Bullshit! You’re just trying to sow chaos. My Great Yu has stood tall for centuries, weathering countless wars. Each ti we turned the tide and protected our holand!"
"And every one of my generals and soldiers would rather die on the battlefield than surrender. Your Majesty, whoever dares suggest surrender again—I say exile their nine clans!"
Jin Wuque shouted out loudly.
Surrender?
That’s the act of cowards!
Great Yu had been through peril over and over, always turning the tables at the brink.
Even fighting to the last soldier, they would not give in.
"Your Majesty, we speak from the heart! Zhao and Jin didn’t surrender, and the result was a massacre—the entire Imperial City slaughtered, not a soul survived. Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
The sa official who’d just spoken pleaded again.
The other civil officials joined in, begging as well.
They weren’t afraid to die, but there were a million civilians in the city.
One wrong decision could doom a million people.
It was a sight they couldn’t bear to witness.
If the enemy weren’t immortal cultivators, they’d fight to the last drop of blood.
But the enemy was simply too strong. To resist would be as futile as throwing an egg at a rock.
"Enough. You’re all dismissed."
Yu Wenjing felt a headache coming on, her body and mind exhausted.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After the ministers and generals withdrew, only Yu Wenjing was left in the vast palace hall.
She looked sowhat lonely.
At that mont, there was only one person on Yu Wenjing’s mind—
"Chang’sheng, after today... perhaps we’ll never have a chance to et again..."
Yu Wenjing looked up at the sky, her mind already made up.
