Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 179: Chapter 131: Void Immortal King! Snow Reishi! Forceful Seizure! Who Do You Think You Are?

Situ Wu’s heart trembled.

He was a cultivator from the Immortal Realm.

Of course he knew which Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures ranked on the Celestial Immortal List—the Immortal Realm’s Heaven-Reaching Celestial List has a total of 3,000 treasures. As far as he knew, this Void Hall was the treasure of the Void Immortal King!

He’d only been hiding in this Immortal Relic Land, using its spiritual energy to heal.

He thought he’d be safe, but unexpectedly, the Immortal King ranked 999th on the Celestial Immortal List was also in this Immortal Relic Land!

He remembered the rumors in the Immortal Realm—Void Immortal King had already ascended to True Immortal!

His Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure was here in the Immortal Relic Land—then where was he himself?

”No, I have to heal up quickly and get out of here as soon as possible.”

”Damn it, if it weren’t for those two little bugs, this Venerable’s wounds would’ve already healed! One of them has already left the Immortal Relic Land. As for the other—once I recover, I’ll crush it with a snap!”

Situ Wu’s face grew dark and ominous. He slowly closed his eyes and resumed his healing.

........

After Lin Chang’sheng stepped through the gate to the Foundation Establishment Area, he felt a flash of light before his eyes.

There wasn’t a single person around.

”Awoo!”

”Roar!”

”......”

What met his eyes was a range of towering peaks and ancient trees, through which rang the roars of demon beasts and the aura of fourth-rank peak demon beasts.

”Is this the Foundation Establishment space inside the Void Hall?”

Lin Chang’sheng gazed at the scene in front of him, his eyes filled with confused doubt.

According to legend, in this Void Hall space, treasures are everywhere, fortune abounds—but judging by this, it’s also full of danger!

”This Void Hall space is unbelievably vast. I’d better take a look around first.”

Lin Chang’sheng swept his divine sense outward, blanketing a radius of seven hundred miles, and found not a single soul. He clearly remembered that over twenty thousand cultivators had entered the Foundation Establishment Area.

Yet, within the scope of his divine sense, not a single cultivator appeared for seven hundred miles—showing just how enormous the internal space of Void Hall was.

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage (6th Layer 1563/32000)]

”Although I’m only at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, my divine sense is already equivalent to that of a Golden Core Middle Stage. I can use magical treasures—the treasures still need further refinement.”

Lin Chang’sheng moved his divine sense to check his cultivation panel, secretly making up his mind.

Travelling here with Wang Gang and Li Tianyun, he hadn’t had a chance to refine his treasures; now, he could finish the task.

At present, he was Foundation Establishment 6th Layer, with no golden core condensed inside, unable to store treasures in his body—he could only barely use them externally a few times.

Of course, with his Foundation Establishment 6th Layer cultivation, using magical treasures would consume enormous magical power.

Currently, Lin Chang’sheng had six magical treasures: a fan, a long saber, and a guqin from Yu Kun Divine Monarch; an Ink Jade Skull Treasure from Profound Court; Jian Shaowu’s sword treasure; and Lu Chang’s Giant Axe Treasure.

Additionally, he had the Ancient Treasure Sky-shining Flame Bow, and a flying treasure shuttle.

Lin Chang’sheng preferred long sabers, so he had only begun refining the saber, and wasn’t done yet.

This long blade treasure was just a little short of full refinement. Lin Chang’sheng planned to finish refining it before seeking out more opportunities—it wouldn’t take much longer.

With that, Lin Chang’sheng found a stone wall, used divine sense to manipulate his Golden Corpse, and dug out a small cave mansion to begin refining his long saber treasure.

As time passed, three days went by.

Lin Chang’sheng looked at the saber treasure before him, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes.

With a thought, his saber treasure—over three feet long—instantly shrank into a small blade just a few inches long!

”This magical saber may not go into my body, but it can let me unleash Golden Core Stage magic treasure power three times.”

Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes shone with satisfaction.

This little blade was a middle tier treasure. Here in the Foundation Establishment Area, with this blade, plus Golden Core Middle Stage divine sense and physique, he should be invincible.

As he moved to stow the small blade,

[Detected: Middle Tier Treasure Mingfeng Saber, Middle Tier Treasure Fiery Flame Fan, Middle Tier Treasure Demon Sound Zither, Middle Tier Treasure Ink Jade Skull, Initial Tier Treasure Frost Sword, Initial Tier Treasure Earth-Sundering Axe. You may consume 12,000 Spirit Stones to fuse them into a quasi–top tier treasure. Fuse?]

Just then, a red notification popped up on Lin Chang’sheng’s panel.

”Hmm? These treasures can be fused?”

”Become a quasi–top tier treasure?”

Seeing the notification, Lin Chang’sheng’s heart stirred.

He remembered there hadn’t been any prompts before, but after successfully refining the long saber, the option had appeared. It seemed to fuse treasures, you must first fully refine at least one and claim it as your own.

”Fuse!”

Lin Chang’sheng immediately clicked Confirm.

If it could become a higher-level treasure, it’d boost his combat power.

[Detected: treasures in the shape of saber, sword, skull, axe, fan, zither. Please select the shape of the fused treasure.]

At that moment, another red notification popped up. On the panel appeared icons for saber, sword, skull, axe, fan, and zither—each shape displayed in two types.

Above: original treasure forms. Below: new fused treasure forms.

Each had a selection button underneath.

”Saber it is!”

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Chang’sheng chose saber. Sabers: dominant, his absolute favorite.

At the same time, Lin Chang’sheng saw a flash of red light on the panel. Instantly, his six treasures were wrapped in white light and fused together, ending as a single ball of white light.

Lin Chang’sheng could only see the white light blazing up.

[Middle Tier Treasure Mingfeng Saber, Middle Tier Treasure Fiery Flame Fan, Middle Tier Treasure Demon Sound Zither, Middle Tier Treasure Ink Jade Skull, Initial Tier Treasure Frost Sword, Initial Tier Treasure Earth-Sundering Axe, fusing... fusion successful... Quasi–Top Tier Treasure acquired: Saber!]

[New treasure: Saber. Unnamed. Please name your treasure!]

After Lin Chang’sheng clicked Confirm, the white light only flickered a short time before another notification sounded on the panel.

”Let’s call it Immortal Slaying Saber.”

Lin Chang’sheng spoke aloud.

[Immortal Slaying Saber: naming complete!]

In that instant, Lin Chang’sheng saw the ball of white light before him vanish, revealing a long saber of dazzling brilliance radiating a chilling, razor-sharp presence.

Over three feet long, the blade so bright it was like a mirror; near the spine, two blood grooves; the hilt on both sides engraved with dragon patterns, and the blade marked with three characters: ”Immortal Slaying Saber.”

Gripping the Immortal Slaying Saber, Lin Chang’sheng gave a thought, and the saber shrank to an inch, floating in his palm.

”Once I reach Golden Core Stage, I’ll nurture this treasure into my Lifebound Treasure. If I can keep gathering more magical treasures to fuse, in time the Immortal Slaying Saber might even level up to Spirit Treasure.”

Lin Chang’sheng gazed at his Immortal Slaying Saber with anticipation.

But he knew clearly, if he wanted to advance this saber to Spirit Treasure, who knew how many magical treasures—and spirit stones—he’d have to collect and fuse.

”With my current cultivation, to advance to Foundation Establishment 7th Layer I need 32,000 experience points. Right now I barely have over a thousand—I’ll have to find more elixirs and spirit medicines to get my exp up.”

Looking over his panel, Lin Chang’sheng secretly made up his mind.

Recently, ever since leaving the Spirit-Seizing Land and then going into seclusion, he hadn’t found time to do any alchemy, nor discovered any good pill formulas. But he believed, with tens of thousands of cultivators here in the Foundation Establishment Area, if any fool comes looking for trouble, killing for treasure would be the fastest way to get elixirs.

”Besides, I need to find more cultivation techniques and magic to fuse, increase my attack power.”

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself.

As his cultivation advanced, his Invisible Celestial Blade, Three Thousand Thunder Moves, Five Elements Soul Refining Technique had all fallen a bit behind.

With that in mind, Lin Chang’sheng shot forward at high speed.

He moved fast, sweeping his divine sense around, and soon had left nearly a thousand miles behind, gradually sighting cultivators flitting across the land and mountains below.

He also spotted quite a few demon beasts as strong as peak Foundation Establishment.

”Hmm?”

”Yu Lingfei? Gao Ziyue?”

Suddenly, Lin Chang’sheng’s divine sense detected, a hundred miles away, a vast mountain valley surrounded by seventy or eighty Foundation Establishment cultivators seemingly attacking an array.

Magics and sword-light rumbled, and white light flashed around that array!

He recognized two familiar faces among them.

Gao Ziyue and Yu Lingfei.

”Better check it out.”

Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes flickered. With saber in hand, he soared skyward.

He arrived at the scene a hundred miles away before long.

It was a south-facing valley beneath a cliff, suffused with spiritual energy to the extreme. At the valley floor, spiritual mist billowed; the array itself wasn’t ordinary, and despite so many Foundation Establishment cultivators bombarding it, the array remained firm as a rock!

More cultivators kept arriving—the number quickly reached over two hundred!

Lin Chang’sheng stowed his saber and drew near to the crowd.

”Heard that inside is a Spirit Medicine Garden! The spirit medicine’s even growing outside—just now, some cultivator picked a Snow Reishi!”

”Isn’t Snow Reishi the main ingredient for refining Snow Spirit Pills? Snow Spirit Pills can raise Core Formation success rate by twenty percent!”

”But—loose cultivators Mu Yunfeng, Tu Yunfei, Golden Talisman Immortal Sect’s Shi Hao, and Yanyue Immortal Sect’s Yu Lingfei, plus Taiyin Island’s Jian Kefa—all top Foundation Establishment geniuses. With them here, we don’t stand a chance!”

”Yeah, but when they eat meat, maybe we can drink a little soup?”

”........”

Nearby cultivators’ chatter reached Lin Chang’sheng’s ears.

”Taiyin Island’s Jian Kefa? Mu Yunfeng, Tu Yunfei? Shi Hao? The strongest Qi Refinement stage talents once—all seized Heaven and Earth Qi for themselves?”

Taking in the talk, Lin Chang’sheng’s gaze glinted.

He observed closely and noticed the young cultivators attacking the array were all Foundation Establishment Sixth and Seventh Layer, but their aura was formidable. Working with a dozen peak Foundation Establishment cultivators to bombard the grand array, they showed not the slightest weakness.

Upon further observation,

Lin Chang’sheng discovered:

Shi Hao was tall, dignified, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Mu Yunfeng: slim, dark, fierce presence.

Tu Yunfei: medium build, somewhat comical, giving a sly impression.

Jian Kefa: brimming with Yin Qi, wielding a sword spiritual artifact almost identical to Jian Shaowu’s.

”This array? Seems to channel spiritual energy ceaselessly...”

Lin Chang’sheng scrutinized the array being bombarded, his eyes flickering.

Based on his array insights, he could tell this formation absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish the spirit medicine within, feeding energy back into the array as it was depleted.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn’t be breaking this formation anytime soon.

”Why not approach the array, see if I can grasp its entry-level workings?”

Lin Chang’sheng pondered, made up his mind, and stepped forward, taking out a spiritual artifact and feigning an attack on the array.

”Just a sixth-layer Foundation Establishment, and you think you qualify for a piece of the action? Get lost!”

Just then, beside Lin Chang’sheng, a middle-aged peak Foundation Establishment cultivator shot him a hostile glare and barked, tone unfriendly.

”Opportunities in Void Hall belong to the worthy!”

”No one else complained. Who the hell are you—some old dog poking your nose in where it doesn’t belong?”

Lin Chang’sheng faced the middle-aged peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, speaking coldly.

He discerned this cultivator was suffused with Yin Qi, most likely hailing from Taiyin Island.

”You want to die.”

Gu Benchang stared at the young cultivator, eyes blazing with killing intent. His spirit sword swept darkly, swelling to ten feet long, slashing fiercely down atop Lin Chang’sheng.

Seeing this newcomer—a mere Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer—daring to defy a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, nearly two hundred onlookers shot Lin Chang’sheng pitiful looks.

It was as if they’d already pictured the sixth-layer kid getting slaughtered.

”Clang!”

As the middle-aged peak cultivator’s spirit sword hacked down, Lin Chang’sheng activated the Saint Buddha Golden Body treasure, gold light flickering around his form, and caught the sword with one hand!

”You—!”

Gu Benchang stared at Lin Chang’sheng in shock.

He never imagined, with the strength of a peak Foundation Establishment, his sword could be caught by a mere Sixth Layer?
