Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 345: Chapter 285: Nine-Nine Celestial Tribulation, Comprehending the Space Secret Technique

”I think it’s highly likely. Otherwise, why would lightning and dark clouds gather at just one spot? Maybe someone’s undergoing tribulation!”

”Tribulation Crossing? That’s a heavenly phenomenon that only occurs when a Late Stage of Nascent Soul is advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage! Does this mean that our Immortal Relic Realm is about to see a real Divinity Transformation powerhouse?”

”I bet it’s Su Changkong. In that last battle, Su Changkong was defeated and chased down by Lin Chang’sheng, then disappeared without a trace. Maybe he went into hiding to break through!”

”But didn’t he just become a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator not long ago? How could he be trying to break through again so soon?”

...

The surrounding crowd buzzed with speculation.

Deep in seclusion, Lin Chang’sheng also sensed this heaven-and-earth anomaly.

But right now, he was at a critical moment in comprehending the Talisman Text Origin and couldn’t afford to be distracted.

...

In a cave deep within the rolling mountain range—

Su Changkong’s magical power surged violently all around him.

After two months of enlightenment, he had finally refined the last bead of the Nine-Colored Divine Buddha Bead that the old ancestor, Ling Yun Ascendant, had left him.

He had grasped the mysteries of the Seven-Colored Divine Buddha Bead.

Within this Seven-Colored Divine Buddha Bead, there was actually a wisp of Golden Buddha Divine Power hidden inside.

As the Golden Buddha Divine Power entered Su Changkong’s body, it helped him break through his inner shackles, causing his magical power to become even more torrential.

As his magical power grew stronger, it instantly summoned the Celestial Tribulation.

This tribulation was named the Nine-Nine Celestial Tribulation, with a total of eighty-one bolts of celestial thunder.

If he survived, he could step into the Divinity Transformation Realm.

If he failed, he would be reduced to dust and smoke.

Too late—

When the clouds and the power of thunder in the sky reached a critical mass, a single bolt of celestial thunder crashed down from the heavens, striking directly where Su Changkong sat.

BOOM—

The thunder crashed into the mountain range, splitting the entire mountain apart, flattening it to the ground and exposing Su Changkong completely beneath the onslaught of celestial thunder.

”It’s—it’s really Su Changkong! He actually survived Lin Chang’sheng’s pursuit, and now he’s breaking through?”

”I knew it had to be him. Who else has the fortune for a breakthrough like this? Even after his death, Ling Yun Ascendant insisted on giving him the Nine-Colored Divine Buddha Bead and helped him escape. Clearly, Ling Yun Ascendant meant for him to gain this creation!”

”Exactly! If that Nine-Colored Divine Buddha Bead had fallen into Lin Chang’sheng’s hands, it might be him breaking through right now. Looks like things just got tough for Lin Chang’sheng.”

”Don’t be so sure—Su Changkong still has to survive the tribulation. The power of this Celestial Tribulation is no joke!”

...

More and more cultivators gathered around, since the Nine-Nine Celestial Tribulation was a rare sight. The Immortal Relic Land had not produced a Divinity Transformation cultivator in a thousand years.

Countless cultivators might spend their whole lives without ever witnessing the might of a Celestial Tribulation.

A single strike could shatter a mountain a hundred yards high. The full eighty-one bolts of tribulation thunder were not something any ordinary person could survive.

RUMBLE—

The second tribulation bolt came right on the heels of the first, barrelling straight down onto Su Changkong, shattering all the rocks around him and leaving nothing but scorched ruins.

But Su Changkong remained completely unaffected, only frowning slightly.

After all, the early bolts of the tribulation were weak—the truly fearsome power always came at the end.

In the crowd, two figures draped in black robes and wearing bamboo hats saw Su Changkong facing the Celestial Tribulation, and their hearts surged with joy.

”Buping, if Sect Leader survives the tribulation, we’ll be saved!”

Zhao Fuhu whispered to himself. He knew Lin Chang’sheng would never let them go, so right now, they desperately needed someone powerful to back them up.

And that backer was Su Changkong.

Once Su Changkong survived the tribulation and became a Divinity Transformation powerhouse—

How could Lin Chang’sheng ever be his match then?

They’d finally have time to grow stronger themselves.

For the past while, Zhao Fuhu and Zhuge Buping had been hiding in the Yin Yang Dao Sect.

Once they discovered the Fiery Sun Treasure Manual, they stole it and ran.

This manual recorded the method for manipulating the blazing fire of heaven and earth. Once they could comprehend it, they could command the power of blazing fire and greatly increase their strength.

”Here’s hoping Sect Leader can get through the Celestial Tribulation!”

Zhuge Buping whispered to himself. This was their last hope.

If not, they truly wouldn’t know where else to turn.

...

Golden Talisman Sect.

”Primordial Divine Talisman, Talismanic Principle of Unity, one manifests the ten thousand things, endless talismanic techniques...”

Golden talisman scripts flashed in Lin Chang’sheng’s mind as he recited these words aloud.

All of a sudden, Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes snapped open as insight dawned upon him, and he began inscribing marks on the ground at once.

Blade Aura danced through his hands, tracing Golden Talismans across the ground.

In no time at all, a massive array measuring thirty feet in each direction appeared on the floor.

[Space Transmission Array: Entry Level!]

In the next instant, a prompt popped up on his interface.

”Entry Level?”

Seeing the prompt, Lin Chang’sheng was overjoyed; the Space Transmission Array was one of the hardest arts to cultivate.

To think that, in just two months’ time, he’d already reached entry level comprehension.

With the interface’s simplification, it shouldn’t take much longer to reach perfection.

And a Perfection Level Transmission Array could send people much farther and be even more convenient to operate.

[Space Transmission Array detected. Spend 10,000 spirit stones to simplify?]

The interface immediately prompted him again.

”Simplify!”

Lin Chang’sheng decisively selected simplify.

[Great Dao is Simple: Space Transmission Array simplification commencing... Simplifying... Simplification Complete. Space Transmission Array == Jump!]

”Jump?”

This simplification pleased Lin Chang’sheng greatly. With just a few more tries, he’d master it completely.

”Let’s test how far I can transmit!”

Lin Chang’sheng instantly crushed a talisman treasure and transmitted himself to the Yin Yang Dao Sect.

The Golden Talisman Sect was quite close to the Yin Yang Dao Sect—just thirty thousand miles apart.

Once he arrived at the Yin Yang Dao Sect, Lin Chang’sheng marked another Space Transmission Array in the sect’s plaza.

Some of the disciples had no idea what he was doing.

Only after Lin Chang’sheng completed the array did it dawn on them.

”Is that a Transmission Array?”

”No way. How long has Lin Chang’sheng been in charge of the Golden Talisman Sect? Not even two months and he’s already grasped the Transmission Array?”

”Looks like that’s exactly what it is. I just wonder if the array actually works.”

”If he achieved the Transmission Array in just two months, Lin Chang’sheng truly is a genius!”

...

The crowd around him erupted into chatter.

This array used spirit stones as its foundation; each use consumed some spiritual energy.

The more people transmitted, the more energy it consumed.

Lin Chang’sheng decided to test it on his own first.

He immediately crushed a spirit stone, spiritual energy spread out, and the grand array activated.

In the next instant, Lin Chang’sheng astonishingly vanished from sight.

This stunned every single disciple of the Yin Yang Dao Sect.

”It—it really can transmit people?”

”With this array, the Five Great Sects will finally be connected! Communication will be so much easier!”

”Yeah! Now let’s see who dares to invade our Southern Domain Cultivation Realm!”

Lin Chang’sheng’s mastery over the Space Transmission Array excited these disciples as if they’d made the breakthrough themselves—everyone was thrilled beyond words.

”At entry level the array has to be inscribed. I wonder if it’ll improve once I’ve perfected it?”

Back in the Golden Talisman Sect, Lin Chang’sheng mused to himself.

Entry level could transmit thirty thousand miles; perfection would surely allow even greater distances.

If a Perfection Level Space Transmission Array didn’t require lengthy array inscription, that would be even more convenient.
