Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 363: Chapter 303-304: Situ Wu Emerges, Chaos in the Southern Realm, Signing the Divine Soul Contract, Millennial Lifespan Surge

Only cultivators who have entered the Divinity Transformation Stage can transform their Nascent Soul, as it gradually evolves into a Primordial Spirit.

Yet Lin Chang’sheng had not even advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage, but his Nascent Soul already possessed the form of that realm.

This showed that the power of his Sea of Consciousness far surpassed those at his level.

”No wonder—such a powerful bloodline, the effects really are this overwhelming!”

Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t help but exclaim.

”Next step is to get the Sea God Tower, but that old bastard is sly as a fox—no telling what other tricks he might have up his sleeve!”

Lin Chang’sheng mused privately.

Before retrieving the Sea God Tower, Lin Chang’sheng planned to interrogate the old man once more, to see if he’d left anything out.

Lin Chang’sheng deployed his divine sense and entered the sheepskin scroll again; the old man’s soul was still shackled deep under the sea.

As soon as the old man saw Lin Chang’sheng arrive, a different light flickered in his eyes.

”Never thought you’d actually break the Three Souls Heaven-locking Array. Looks like you’ve also figured out the Storm Array—don’t bother lying to a dead man like me!”

The old man sighed, admitting he’d meant to scheme against Lin Chang’sheng, but in the end, Lin Chang’sheng had outmaneuvered him.

If Lin Chang’sheng could break the Three Souls Heaven-locking Array, the Storm Array was no obstacle at all.

”And haven’t you been lying to me the whole time? The Sea God Tower is what truly binds you, isn’t it?”

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t bother pretending, directly asking again.

This time, the old man didn’t lie but shook his head helplessly.

”Enough, enough—I won’t hide it anymore. Yes, the Sea God Tower is the treasure suppressing me. But, tell me, don’t you want such an artifact yourself? How about we make a deal?”

The old man stopped hiding and started to speak candidly with Lin Chang’sheng.

This took Lin Chang’sheng by surprise. ”What kind of deal?”

”Once you obtain the Sea God Tower, your cultivation will surely breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Stage—you won’t stay here in the Immortal Relic Land forever; you’ll head for the Immortal Realm. I come from the Immortal Realm, and I can teach you much. In exchange, once you reach the Void Refining Stage, return my physical body. What do you say?”

The old man voiced his plan, believing it was the only way both could win.

He needed Lin Chang’sheng to release the shackles on his Primordial Spirit, while Lin Chang’sheng needed the Sea God Tower!

Lin Chang’sheng considered it and felt he had little to lose.

But one thing gave Lin Chang’sheng pause—how much Primordial Spirit power did the old man still have?

If Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t easily kill him, then he couldn’t agree to the deal.

If the old bastard got free and reneged, Lin Chang’sheng would be asking for trouble.

”Your terms aren’t bad, but how do I know you’ll keep your word? If you’re set free and try to kill me, I’d get totally screwed. If you really want peace, why don’t we sign a Divine Soul Contract?”

Lin Chang’sheng said bluntly.

Once the old man signed a Divine Soul Contract with him, their gains and losses would be tied together.

The old man couldn’t possibly do anything to harm him.

Hearing this, the old man frowned. This kid wouldn’t cave, no matter what!

I’ve already said all this, and still he won’t agree.

”Suit yourself if you won’t agree—I’m not taking the risk. Your physical body is so strong, and your Primordial Spirit’s been trapped for thousands of years, but who knows what your cultivation still is?”

”Besides, I’ve already got the inheritance from the Void Divine Hall, so missing out on the Sea God Tower isn’t a big deal!”

Lin Chang’sheng acted nonchalant, instantly making the old man anxious.

If Lin Chang’sheng really didn’t go after the Sea God Tower, who knew how long he’d have to wait for the next fated person—maybe his Primordial Spirit would perish before that ever happened.

”Fine, but you better keep your word!”

The old man had no other options and reluctantly agreed.

Seeing the old man give in, Lin Chang’sheng stepped forward to begin the contract ritual.

This Divine Soul Contract Technique can be signed with Demon Beasts, but also with souls.

The soul is the seat of thought for any creature; the body is just its vessel.

Lin Chang’sheng sliced his finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the old man’s forehead. Instantly, a beam of light shot from the old man’s body toward the sky.

Lin Chang’sheng sensed a new connection within his Sea of Consciousness.

It was the bridge for communication with the old man.

From now on, even if the two weren’t face to face, they could use divine sense to communicate.

”I actually gained a thousand years of lifespan, and a divine sense radius of a thousand miles?”

After signing the Divine Soul Contract Technique, Lin Chang’sheng was startled to find his lifespan had skyrocketed by a thousand years, reaching a terrifying 3,650 years.

This made Lin Chang’sheng suspect the old man’s words even more.

The guy kept saying his life was about to run out.

But as soon as the contract was sealed, Lin Chang’sheng had just inherited a thousand years of lifespan.

Clearly, this old fox had at least several thousand years left to live.

And thanks to signing the contract, Lin Chang’sheng’s divine consciousness power surged to a frightening nine thousand miles.

Though Lin Chang’sheng was still just at late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, aside from his magical power, every other aspect now outstripped early-stage Divinity Transformation cultivators by far.

Normally, Nascent Soul cultivators only have a little over a thousand years of lifespan; even at Divinity Transformation Stage it’s only a little over two thousand years.

But now Lin Chang’sheng’s lifespan was a shocking 3,650 years, leaving Divinity Transformation cultivators in the dust.

And his divine sense was vastly superior to others of his realm.

”Once I break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, even middle-stage Divinity Transformation cultivators will pale in comparison to me!”

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself, feeling elated inside.

A free thousand years of lifespan and a thousand miles of divine sense—what a bargain.

”You really got lucky, kid!”

The old man saw Lin Chang’sheng smirking and realized he’d caught on to his glee.
