Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 279: Chapter 221: Fusing King Corpses—Can One Rival a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator?

”How do you know all this? Seems to me you’re just trying to get me killed inside that grand array, aren’t you? And anyway, with a treasure like that, you don’t want it for yourself? I’m supposed to believe you’d hand it over out of the goodness of your heart?”

Lin Chang’sheng asked suspiciously. No way this old geezer didn’t want those rare treasures.

Just giving them away for nothing?

”I’m down to nothing but a shred of soul now—won’t be long before I dissipate. What use do I have for those treasures? I only hope I won’t have to suffer this thunder punishment before I’m gone.”

The old man gave a helpless look.

His soul had been tormented by thunder for nearly two thousand years.

If he couldn’t break free, he’d vanish completely.

Lin Chang’sheng was his last hope, so of course he didn’t want to miss out.

”You’d better not be lying to me. Once I get the Sea God Tower, I’ll come find you again!”

Lin Chang’sheng tossed out this line and exited the sheepskin scroll.

He didn’t notice that the instant after he left, the old man’s lips curled in a deep, wicked smile.

”Almost two thousand years—I’m finally going to get out. Hahahahaha—”

Arrogant laughter echoed inside the sheepskin scroll.

The reason he’d asked Lin Chang’sheng to break the chains was just to avoid making Lin suspicious.

Actually, the Sea God Tower was the real thing keeping him sealed—so long as the Sea God Tower left the deep sea, he’d be free.

Then, every living thing in the Immortal Relic Land would become his nourishment for rebirth.

Of course, if that old bastard was wary of Lin Chang’sheng, Lin was just as guarded against him.

Lin Chang’sheng was always the careful type.

This guy’s remnant soul was trapped in the sheepskin scroll, suffering thunder strikes.

Plus, the scroll was split into four pieces—it was plain that someone didn’t want this thing coming out.

What, the old bastard was suddenly filled with kindness to give away the Sea God Tower?

It didn’t seem like fate’s gift—more like a straight-up plot.

”Whatever—better level up first!”

Lin Chang’sheng decided not to dwell on it, and started flipping through the three secret manuals in Nie Buping’s storage bag.

”Corpse Puppet Rebirth Technique, Corpse Explosion Technique, Thousand Corpses Hand Seal!”

”Looks like Nie Buping was cultivating the Corpse Puppet Rebirth Technique, trying to use corpse puppets to resurrect himself!”

After reading all three secret arts, Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself that only the Thousand Corpses Hand Seal was actually learnable.

This Thousand Corpses Hand Seal was a palm technique formed by absorbing the qi of a thousand corpse puppets.

Its power was ferocious.

Unfortunately, Nie Buping still hadn’t absorbed the qi of a thousand corpse puppets yet, so he couldn’t use it.

But to Lin Chang’sheng, mastering it was a piece of cake.

[Thousand Corpses Hand Seal: Entry Level Achieved!]

After enough time to burn an incense stick, Thousand Corpses Hand Seal was at entry level.

[Detected Thousand Corpses Hand Seal. Spend 3,000 spirit stones to simplify it?]

The dashboard popped up a prompt.

”Simplify it!”

Lin Chang’sheng chose to simplify without hesitation.

[Great Dao is Simple: Thousand Corpses Hand Seal simplification in progress... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Thousand Corpses Hand Seal == Wave Hand!]

”Wave hand?”

This is way too user-friendly. All I gotta do is wave my hand, and I gain proficiency?

Lin Chang’sheng automatically started waving his palm.

Thousand Corpses Hand Seal EXP +1!

Thousand Corpses Hand Seal EXP +1!

...

He watched as the proficiency of Thousand Corpses Hand Seal shot up at insane speed.

While waving his hand, Lin Chang’sheng also took all the corpse puppets from Nie Buping and Tributor Bai Ting’s storage bags.

In the end, he counted 42 basic golden corpses, 7 intermediate golden corpses, 6 late-stage golden corpses, 3 basic king corpses, and 2 intermediate king corpses.

After merging them, all the golden corpses became 20 late-stage golden corpses.

[Detected 20 late-stage golden corpses. Merge into 2 king corpses?]

The dashboard instantly prompted him.

”Merge!”

If it can be merged, then obviously it should be merged!

[Merge complete. Detected 6 basic king corpses. Merge into 3 intermediate king corpses?]

The prompt came right after merging.

”Counting the one king corpse I refined myself, that makes six exactly!”

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself and clicked ”yes” again.

He wanted to see just how strong a corpse puppet he could create.

[Merge complete. Detected 5 intermediate king corpses. Merge into one late-stage king corpse?]

”Late-stage king corpse?”

This caught Lin Chang’sheng off guard—he’d figured one more middle stage king corpse would be pretty good.

Who’d have thought he’d end up with a late-stage king corpse?

This late-stage king corpse was basically equivalent to a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator’s power!

Though it was under someone’s control and couldn’t unleash its full strength, it was still terrifying.

Even most middle stage Nascent Soul cultivators would struggle against it.

”Merge!”

Lin Chang’sheng chose merge again.

He watched as five intermediate king corpses merged under a dazzling light into a hulking, brand new late-stage king corpse.

”Hell yeah!”

Seeing this, Lin Chang’sheng was pumped.

This was a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator-level henchman!

This raid on the Corpse King Sect had really paid off.

Not only did he merge an upper grade spirit treasure, but also got a late-stage king corpse, massively boosting his combat power.

”Wonder what treasures are in the dead cultivators’ storage bags?”

After stashing the king corpse, Lin Chang’sheng took out the storage bags belonging to the fallen cultivators in the cave.

There should be a bunch of good stuff inside.

But once inside, Lin Chang’sheng found the bags basically empty. Pitifully few spirit stones, just a few hundred.

But there was a white jade bottle that caught Lin Chang’sheng’s attention.

Inside the white jade bottle was a cluster of sparkling white mist—he had no idea what it was.

And not far off, there was a dark green token.

Carved into it was a big character: ”Sha.”

Looked like it belonged to some sect.

Other than that, inside the storage bag he also found a small spring, and in the water grew a fruit tree with crystal-clear fruits.

”Can I eat this fruit?”

Lin Chang’sheng sensed that the spirit fruit was radiating thick spiritual energy, but he didn’t recognize it and wasn’t about to eat it at random.

So he took out one fruit from the spring and the white jade bottle.

”Xiaobai, don’t say I never look after you. These are all yours!”

Lin Chang’sheng called out Xiaobai and tossed her the fruit and the white jade bottle.

If it was poisonous, Xiaobai would know in a glance. Xiaobai’s knowledge definitely topped Lin Chang’sheng’s.

”Celestial Immortal Qi? Spiritual Spring Sacred Fruit?”

Xiaobai’s fox eyes widened in astonishment, ”Wait, why do things from the Burial Immortal Realm show up in Immortal Relic Land?”

Xiaobai wasn’t some ordinary companion—she knew all about Burial Immortal Realm stuff.

She immediately recognized what those two items really were.

”Items from the Immortal Realm?”

Hearing that, Lin Chang’sheng hesitated, thinking to himself he’d been way too careless.

These might be real treasures!

But Xiaobai didn’t answer, afraid Lin Chang’sheng would take them back, so she just popped open the white jade bottle.

Instantly, a blast of pure spiritual energy filled the air.

Xiaobai took a huge gulp and sucked all the white mist in.

After absorbing the Celestial Immortal Qi, she started gnawing on the Spiritual Spring Sacred Fruit.

As she absorbed the energy from both treasures, a soft white glow began to radiate from her body.

There was a faint shimmer—Xiaobai just grew an extra tail.

”Looks like those really were treasures!”

Lin Chang’sheng could only stare—he’d given them away, so he couldn’t just snatch them back. That’d be too shady.

Besides, Xiaobai had helped him out a ton.

If it hadn’t been for her, Lin Chang’sheng could never have reached the peak of the Refining God Ladder to forge his flawless Nascent Soul using spiritual liquid.

If this storage bag was loaded like this, then who knows what that ring would be hiding.
