Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 748: Chapter 497: Obtaining Divine Liquid, Spirit Fruit, and a Great Harvest (Part 2)

At this moment, Bai Baihe’s strength was much fiercer than at the beginning.

Boom—

When the fist aura collided with the overwhelming axe aura, it was as if two bolts of thunder crashed together in the sky, the sound booming deafeningly.

It felt as if the entire sky was about to collapse.

Under the intense impact, Bai Baihe’s attack shattered Gu Shan’s fist aura directly.

Seeing such a powerful axe aura hurtling his way, Gu Shan dared not be careless and instantly summoned the Nine-Star Divine Halberd to block it.

Bam—

The mighty axe aura slammed into the Nine-Star Divine Halberd, erupting in a burst of explosions.

Gu Shan was instantly forced back by the force of that crushing blow.

Thankfully, with the halberd to shield him, even such a fierce attack never managed to hurt Gu Shan one bit.

”This...”

When Bai Baihe saw that Gu Shan also possessed a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, he grew red-faced and furious.

If it weren’t for the protection of the halberd, that hit would have been enough to seriously injure Gu Shan.

Who are these people, anyway? How come each one has a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure?

These are the kinds of treasures so many Tribulation Crossers dream of having but can never obtain!

There was no time for Bai Baihe to think further as the Corpse Puppet charged in from behind.

Right now, the greatest threat to Bai Baihe was this late-stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet. Its body was impervious to blades and spears—even at full power he found it hard to break through its defense.

It seemed only a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure could fight it head-on.

So Bai Baihe dashed aside to dodge.

However, inside Lin Chang’sheng’s Divine Flame Realm, Bai Baihe’s speed was drastically reduced. The Corpse Puppet smashed a fist right onto his shoulder, blasting him instantly through the air.

Bam—

With a thunderous crash, Bai Baihe slammed straight into the ground.

A deep pit was smashed into the earth.

The surface was still blazing with the Five Flames Sacred Fire Lin Chang’sheng had just unleashed.

Bai Baihe was instantly enveloped by the Five Flames Sacred Fire.

At first, Bai Baihe paid it no mind, assuming it was just ordinary flame.

But soon he sensed something was wrong—the fire was not simple at all, it actually burned through his skin and ate into his bone marrow.

”What kind of flame is this? Its power is terrifying!”

Bai Baihe immediately felt danger and tried to channel his Primordial Power to drive out the Divine Flame.

No matter how he circulated his power, the Five Flames Sacred Fire clung to him like a maggot in rotten flesh—burning endlessly.

”Ah—!”

Bai Baihe shrieked, his body roasted by the Five Flames Sacred Fire.

Gu Shan seized the moment, swinging the Nine-Star Divine Halberd in a sweep across the sky, striking straight at Bai Baihe.

The ferocious spear aura tore through the air, howling wildly—it showed just how sharp the attack was, as if the sky itself were being ripped open.

Not far away, the Corpse Puppet under Lin Chang’sheng’s control also threw a destructive punch at Bai Baihe.

The fist aura was fierce and heavy, like a mountain pressing down.

With two deadly attacks approaching, Bai Baihe had no way to dodge, and could only instinctively cleave out an axe aura.

Rumble—

Both attacks slammed into Bai Baihe’s strike, sending violent shockwaves through the earth, shaking the land with fierce tremors.

How could one person stand against two strikes? The axe aura was shattered in an instant.

Both attacks crashed to the ground.

In a flash, dust billowed and rock shards exploded everywhere.

When everything settled, there was a hundred-zhang-wide pit left in the ground.

Inside the pit, Bai Baihe no longer drew breath. After taking both assaults, his body was nothing but mangled flesh and blood.

In the next instant, Bai Baihe’s Divine Soul floated out from his corpse.

Lin Chang’sheng instantly waved his Holy Soul Banner and collected it inside.

Lin Chang’sheng’s main concern now was Bai Baihe’s Storage Bag, so he immediately started searching the body.

Soon enough, he found it, and sent his Divine Sense inside, wondering if there was any Heaven-Reaching Divine Liquid left.

If not, Guo Yunchu would just have to accept her bad luck.

After all, the bottle Lin Chang’sheng had won was definitely not for her.

Luckily, after a thorough search, Lin Chang’sheng discovered two remaining drops of Heaven-Reaching Divine Liquid inside Bai Baihe’s Storage Bag.

He also found a pool of incredibly thick Spirit Marrow.

The dense Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Marrow seeped out and filled Lin Chang’sheng’s nose, clinging there and refusing to dissipate.

”Such rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!”

Lin Chang’sheng was delighted—not expecting an unexpected windfall.

He knew that if he took it out, Xiaobai would definitely sense it, and he’d probably get none of it for himself.

So he planned to figure out what kind of Spirit Marrow this was before deciding whether to give it to Xiaobai.

Besides the Heaven-Reaching Divine Liquid and Spirit Marrow, Lin Chang’sheng also spotted a spirit tree not far away emitting waves of spiritual energy.

The tree stood about two zhang high, with a few fist-sized green fruits dangling from it—none yet matured.

Lin Chang’sheng studied it but still couldn’t tell what the fruit was, deciding to find a safe corner later to interrogate Bai Baihe’s soul about it.

This spirit tree was certainly no ordinary thing.

Beyond these three, the Storage Bag also held over a hundred thousand Immortal Crystals, several volumes of Immortal Techniques and various Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures—almost everything a cultivator could want was right there.

So this hunt for Bai Baihe really paid off—after all, he was the leader of a major sect.

”Well? Did you find any extra Divine Liquid?”

Gu Shan watched Lin Chang’sheng check things over, a grin climbing up his mouth as he asked with curiosity.

It would be great if he got a cut of the spoils.

After seeing firsthand what Divine Liquid did for Bai Baihe, he couldn’t help but be tempted.

Calling it rebirth wasn’t an exaggeration!

”Let’s get out of here first!”

Lin Chang’sheng replied, then with a wave gathered up Bai Baihe’s corpse as well, preparing to leave and find somewhere safe to question his soul.

The sounds of battle here were bound to attract other sects’ attention.

If they waited until the rest showed up, leaving would get troublesome.

”Hm?”

But just as Lin Chang’sheng was leaving, his gaze drifted toward the Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree nearby.

Could this Divine Tree be stored into his Storage Ring?

After all, the Storage Ring’s space was massive.

If he could take it, all future Heaven-Reaching Divine Liquid would be his.

Lin Chang’sheng gave it a try, but the Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree showed no response.

Since it couldn’t be taken, Lin Chang’sheng had to give up!

Which was only natural: if it could be taken, it wouldn’t be out here in the first place—some powerhouse would’ve carried it off long ago.

Seeing he couldn’t collect the Divine Tree, Lin Chang’sheng had no choice but to flee.

Gu Shan quickly followed after.

...

About half a day after Lin Chang’sheng and Gu Shan left, a golden figure streaked through the sky and landed here.

This was a middle-aged man in golden robes, his pupils also gleaming gold—giving him a sanctified aura.

His body brimmed with an intense Primordial Power, ready to burst out at any moment.

”That kid—his strength is actually this high?”

The golden-eyed man was visibly surprised, furrowing his brow.

He’d expected even the strongest youth to be perhaps Mahayana Stage at best.

Who’d have thought he could wipe out the Heaven-Reaching Sect single-handedly?

That was a second-class sect!

And their Sect Leader was at the middle stage of Tribulation Crossing.

”Hmm? That’s Corpse Evil Qi?”

The golden-eyed man noticed a deep pit nearby, surrounded by dense Corpse Evil Qi.

This sort of evil aura only came off Corpse Puppets refined by the Immortal Corpse Sect—why was it here?

”Could it be...?”

All at once, the golden-eyed man seemed to recall something.

”Impossible! How could an Immortal Sect disciple master such an evil technique?”

Try as he might, the golden-eyed man couldn’t figure it out. If that Corpse Puppet wasn’t made by Lin Chang’sheng, then who?

And judging by the strength of the Corpse Evil Qi, that puppet had obviously reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

That Corpse Puppet was no simple thing.

An Immortal Sect disciple able to refine a Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet—that kind of talent was outright monstrous!

”Interesting. Genii like that come once in a thousand years—if he could join the Immortal Martial Hall, his future would be limitless!”

”But if he won’t, then there’s only one fate for him—death!”

Finished speaking, the golden-eyed man instantly shot off in pursuit along the path Lin Chang’sheng had taken.

This man was Tributor Luo, sent by Guo Tiangang of the Immortal Martial Hall.

He was also a peak late-stage Tribulation Crossing powerhouse, having trained in the Immortal Martial Hall’s arts for years and was incredibly formidable.

No weaker—if not stronger—than Tang Zhongming.
