Lin Chang’sheng was dumbfounded—this was going to be tough!
After all, in the terrifying Immortal Realm, Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators were everywhere, and there’s no way a sect leader’s cultivation was just at the Void Refining stage.
"With your talent, it’s not impossible. Otherwise, why would I set up this barrier? Wasn’t it exactly to choose a genius among geniuses?"
The elder looked at Lin Chang’sheng, feeling that his aptitude wasn’t bad, and that one day, he’d definitely be able to avenge this grudge.
First, it was for the elder’s revenge, and second, it was to explain his innocence to the sect leader’s daughter.
To let her know, he was set up.
These two things—hard to call them easy, but not impossible either.
Still, Lin Chang’sheng nodded and agreed.
"Good, very good. I’ll now pass the Qilin Sect cultivation technique and immortal arts to you!"
As soon as the elder finished, he instantly turned into a cloud of white mist, diving straight into Lin Chang’sheng’s sea of consciousness.
Lin Chang’sheng imdiately felt countless figures flashing continuously in his mind.
The figures were circulating the Qilin Sect’s heart thod, and practicing the moves.
This went on for more than an hour before the shadowy figures finally faded away.
[Qilin Celestial Transformation Technique acquired: Entry Level!]
[Command the Universe acquired: Entry Level!]
Now, the elder’s figure had beco almost entirely transparent—as if passing these two immortal techniques to Lin Chang’sheng had used up his final wisp of divine thought.
And Lin Chang’sheng didn’t let him down—he managed to comprehend the two techniques up to entry level.
"Don’t forget—your promise to —"
After his final words, the elder’s divine sense shattered, completely vanishing.
[Detected Qilin Celestial Transformation Technique. Spend 2000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]
[Detected Command the Universe. Spend 2000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]
As soon as Lin Chang’sheng grasped the two immortal arts, the system panel prompted him.
"Two thousand Immortal Crystals?"
But forget two thousand—even one Immortal Crystal was nowhere to be found on Lin Chang’sheng right now.
So he had no choice but to ignore it.
[Detected Barbaric Dragon God Technique (Perfection), Dragon God Celestial Venerable Sacred Body (Perfection). Fuse to create a new technique?]
Seeing that Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t simplify the immortal arts, the panel popped up a new ssage.
"Fuse!"
Lin Chang’sheng responded decisively.
After all, this didn’t require spending any Immortal Crystals.
[Barbaric Dragon God Technique (Perfection), Dragon God Celestial Venerable Sacred Body (Perfection): Fusion starting... Fusing... Fusion complete. Obtain new Immortal Technique: Celestial Wasteland Dragon Divine Body!]
"Celestial Wasteland Dragon Divine Body?"
Lin Chang’sheng muttered under his breath.
[Detected Celestial Wasteland Dragon Divine Body. Spend 16,000 Spirit Stones to simplify?]
The panel prompted regarding the technique’s realm.
"Simplify!"
Lin Chang’sheng confird once again.
[Great Dao is Simple: Celestial Wasteland Dragon Divine Body simplification starting... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Celestial Wasteland Dragon Divine Body == Power up in front of beauties!]
"Power up in front of beauties?"
Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
This... this was just screaming for wild thoughts!
Good thing, at least, he was usually surrounded by beautiful won. Watching them as he punched and sprinted should count as powering up, right?
No way the system actually wants him to do anything weird, does it?
There weren’t any beauties around at the mont anyway, so Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t simplify it for now—he figured he’d try it later with Yun Chan.
After simplifying the immortal technique, Lin Chang’sheng started checking out the elder’s storage bag and blood-colored bracelet.
"Huh? This blood-colored bracelet actually has eighteen restrictions?"
Lin Chang’sheng released his divine sense into the blood-colored bracelet, shocked to discover it actually had eighteen layers of restrictions.
The Sea God Tower and Void Divine Hall only had twenty-four restrictions each and were considered top immortal treasures in the Immortal Realm!
For the blood-colored bracelet to have eighteen, it had to be sothing extraordinary as well.
After putting away the blood-colored bracelet, Lin Chang’sheng started going through the elder’s storage bag.
His divine sense swept through—shockingly, it was almost empty.
But thankfully, to Lin Chang’sheng at this ti, every item was priceless.
He found three technique books, so things that looked like Demon Beast materials, and so herbs.
"Wait, are these ... Immortal Crystals?"
In a corner not far off, Lin Chang’sheng saw a dozen or so egg-sized, milky-white stones neatly placed.
Waves of incredibly dense Heaven and Earth Qi radiated continuously from them.
Compared to Spirit Stones, they were at least ten tis stronger, the spiritual energy far purer too.
Lin Chang’sheng took the Immortal Crystals from the bag, studying them closely.
This was Lin Chang’sheng’s first ti seeing Immortal Crystals; he couldn’t help feeling curious.
But as soon as he brought them out, Xiaobai seed to sense sothing, instantly poking its head out of the Spirit Beast Bag.
Next thing he knew, Xiaobai inhaled sharply, swallowing all the spiritual energy from over ten Immortal Crystals in one breath!
Once drained of energy, the Immortal Crystals imdiately dulled and turned into regular rocks.
"C’mon, Xiaobai, you couldn’t leave even one—?"
Lin Chang’sheng was speechless. He hadn’t even gotten to find out what Immortal Crystals tasted like!
Xiaobai didn’t reply, just blinked knowingly at the big wine jug off in the distance.
"You an there are Immortal Crystals in that wine jug too?"
Lin Chang’sheng asked curiously.
Xiaobai nodded solemnly.
Lin Chang’sheng imdiately stashed his things and moved toward the wine jug.
As he got closer, Lin Chang’sheng could sense the incredible aura of spiritual energy emanating from within—not surprising, really, since in just one night, the spiritual spring had already recovered.
Opening the lid, he really did find quite a stash of Immortal Crystals—at least a hundred of them.
So of the Immortal Crystals were so saturated with spiritual energy that actual Spirit Marrow had ford inside.
Still, there weren’t enough for him to waste on simplification—they’d have to go toward cultivation instead.
"With this dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, breaking through to the Middle Stage of Divinity Transformation will be no problem!"
Lin Chang’sheng muttered to himself, deciding to break through here and now.
He sat down cross-legged and began refining the spiritual energy from the wine jug’s contents.
...
Southern Realm, Wuyang Valley.
As Lin Chang’sheng refined the spiritual energy from the wine jug—
Situ Wu, nourished by the blood energy from Zhao Fuhu’s constant slaughter of cultivators, had already recovered more than half his injuries.
And his cultivation was on the verge of a breakthrough to Late Stage Divinity Transformation.
"You little worm, once I’ve healed up, just see how I destroy you all!"
Situ Wu’s eyes were burning with rage.
It was one thing to be wounded in the Immortal Realm, but here in the Immortal Relic Land, he just kept getting wrecked—
This, Situ Wu could not tolerate.
"Immortal Venerable, that punk Lin Chang’sheng has a lot of luck—his cultivation is rising fast. If it cos to it, why don’t we enter the Immortal Realm ahead of him? Once we’re there, with your connections, besieging him would be child’s play!"
Zhao Fuhu suggested on the side.
First, he didn’t fully believe the Immortal Venerable could absolutely slay Lin Chang’sheng. If they got to the Immortal Realm, a group effort led by Situ Wu would make crushing Lin Chang’sheng much easier.
Second, that would help him get into the Immortal Realm too. Once there, a whole new, bigger world was waiting.
No need to cultivate in this world starved for spiritual energy anymore.
If Situ Wu failed one more ti, Zhao figured he’d probably end up dead right along with him.
But how arrogant was Situ Wu? How could he believe he couldn’t kill a little worm like Lin Chang’sheng?
If he needed others’ help to kill a nobody from the Immortal Relic Land, he’d lose all face!
"What? You don’t trust in my strength?"
Situ Wu glared at Zhao Fuhu.
"No, no—that’s not it. I just an—how could a tiny bug deserve your attention, Immortal Venerable!"
Zhao Fuhu hurriedly explained in terror.
Inwardly, he was terrified Situ Wu would get mad and blast him with a single strike.
"That little bug has ruined my plans again and again. I must kill him myself."
Situ Wu clenched his fist aura tightly, fury boiling in his heart.
"You, go get more blood energy—the stronger the better!"
Situ Wu ordered. Zhao Fuhu could only run off to comply.
But inside, he was plotting otherwise. It looked like relying on Situ Wu alone was hopeless. He had to find another way out.
...
Immortal Ascension Sect.
After the great battle here, the land remained devastated—a scene of utter ruin.
But at least the sect was slowly recovering its vitality.
And after absorbing the blood essence from Situ Wu’s severed arm, Ling Yue and Wang Chonglou had both broken through to Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
This was a blessing for the entire Southern Realm.
A great cultivator’s bloodline could indeed cleanse the marrow of a cultivator’s body.
"Congratulations, Master, on breaking through to Hao Zhix!"
Yu Lingfei and Gao Ziyue offered their congratulations to Ling Yue.
But Ling Yue’s face remained clouded with worry.
After all, their enemies hadn’t been eliminated; a counterattack could co at any ti.
If he recovered his injuries, the next campaign would surely be even more brutal.
