Chapter 388: Chapter 318: Qilin Sect, Celestial Wasteland Dragon Divine Body

On the other side of the stone chamber, Lin Chang’sheng discovered a stone platform with twenty-one stone steps.

The platform was circular, and seated atop it was an old man with white hair.

Lin Chang’sheng activated his divine sense to investigate and found that the old man had already perished, but perhaps due to his powerful cultivation, his body hadn’t decayed.

In the old man’s hand, there was a golden storage bag and a blood-red bracelet.

It was clear at a glance that these two items were anything but ordinary.

Otherwise, they would never be placed in the old man’s hands.

”No one’s managed to take them?”

Lin Chang’sheng found it hard to believe. Logically, he couldn’t be the first to discover this cave dwelling.

The Demon Race must have found it long ago, so why hadn’t anything been stolen? This puzzled Lin Chang’sheng.

Sweeping his gaze back, Lin Chang’sheng looked around again and found that, aside from a giant wine jug and the fallen man on the high platform, there was nothing else in the cave dwelling.

”Let’s check out the treasures in the old man’s hands first!”

Lin Chang’sheng immediately fixed his gaze on the old man, since the two treasures in his hands were extremely tempting.

So Lin Chang’sheng began to ascend the stone platform step by step.

However, as Lin Chang’sheng walked higher up the steps, he found himself continually pushed back by an invisible force.

The closer he got, the stronger this force became.

”No wonder there’s no sign the old man was ever disturbed! So to approach the platform, one must first pass a test!”

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself that if it were easy to get close, those treasures would have long since disappeared.

It was probably this force that kept the Demon Race from getting the old man’s items.

Even with his Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation, Lin Chang’sheng barely made it to the eighteenth step before feeling drained.

”Just three more steps to go!”

Lin Chang’sheng gritted his teeth and charged at the final three steps.

The treasures in the old man’s hands were clearly extraordinary—if he missed this chance, Lin Chang’sheng would regret it dearly. There was no way he would give up so easily.

Buzz—

But snatching these treasures wasn’t going to be that easy.

Before Lin Chang’sheng could steady himself, a powerful force erupted and knocked him back several steps.

Not only did he fail to advance, he actually slipped down several steps.

”Dragon God Celestial Venerable Saint Body!”

Lin Chang’sheng immediately unleashed the body strengthening technique.

Roar—

A dragon’s roar echoed out. Lin Chang’sheng’s body grew stronger, instantly ascending to Middle Stage Divinity Transformation.

With his body enhanced, Lin Chang’sheng managed to climb one more step.

Only two steps remained.

Lin Chang’sheng lifted his foot to press on, but even with the Dragon God Celestial Venerable Saint Body, he still felt exhausted.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Waves of force kept crashing over him, but Lin Chang’sheng clenched his teeth and persevered.

[Barbaric Dragon God Technique has reached Perfection!]

Just as Lin Chang’sheng kept fighting against that force, the Barbaric Dragon God Technique he’d cultivated from the dragon bone finally reached perfection.

This honestly caught Lin Chang’sheng by surprise.

The technique, refined from the dragon bone, gave him a considerable boost in strength.

Lin Chang’sheng immediately unleashed the Barbaric Dragon God Technique at its perfected level, further increasing his physical power.

He finally managed to inch forward another step.

Now, only the final stone step remained.

”Celestial Ghost Devouring God Technique!”

With no other choice, Lin Chang’sheng burned his lifespan again to exchange for even greater strength.

As Lin Chang’sheng’s life force drained, his cultivation also soared to Middle Stage Divinity Transformation.

With both Middle Stage cultivation and enhanced body, Lin Chang’sheng finally managed to take the last step and reach the top of the platform.

As Lin Chang’sheng stepped onto the platform, the overwhelming force vanished without a trace.

Buzz—

In the next instant, a white shadow flew straight out from the old man’s body.

It seemed to be the last vestige of the old man’s divine thought.

”Two thousand years... At last, someone’s set foot in this place. Young man, your talent isn’t bad—you may inherit my legacy!”

The old man slowly spoke.

Lin Chang’sheng was completely stunned. Just like that, he was getting a legacy out of nowhere?

”But after receiving my legacy, you’ll need to do two things for me! Will you agree?”

The old man fixed his gaze on Lin Chang’sheng.

”I’m willing, Senior!”

How could Lin Chang’sheng turn down the chance to inherit a legacy?

Besides, agreeing didn’t mean he had to do those things right away. He could always wait until his own strength was sufficient.

”Hahaha—”

At Lin Chang’sheng’s answer, the old man let out a hearty laugh.

”Good, very good! First, avenge me. Second, prove my innocence—”

The old man began recounting his past.

He was a member of the Qilin Sect of the Immortal Realm—once the top candidate to inherit the position of Sect Leader. He and the Sect Leader’s daughter were smitten with each other, and everyone said they made the perfect Dao couple.

Unfortunately, his own junior brother plotted against him, poisoning him with evil toxins, and while unconscious, trapped him in a room with the daughter of a sect elder.

Not only did the sect elder’s daughter lose her purity, but a death resulted as well. The old man became the shame of the sect.

He was not only expelled from the sect, but also had an arm severed.

Without the protection of the sect, he was relentlessly hunted by his junior brother.

Left with no other options, he fled here, thinking he could use his cultivation to purge the toxins from his body. But in the end, he learned the evil poison was so insidious that it utterly corroded his inner mansion.

Ultimately, he died here, filled with hatred and regret.

”By now, your junior brother is likely the Sect Leader of the Qilin Sect, isn’t he? You want me to kill the Sect Leader of one of the Immortal Realm’s great sects?”
