Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 762: Chapter 504: A Bountiful Harvest, Two Corpse Puppets at the Late Stage of Tribulation Crossing

If this array was upgraded into the Corpse Soul Extinguishing Immortal God Array, wouldn’t its power be even more terrifying?

No time to overthink it, Lin Chang’sheng stepped forward and grabbed the Corpse Evil Daoist’s storage bag.

He planned to see what treasures were inside.

The secret technique this guy just used seemed anything but ordinary.

”This old bastard actually had so many corpse puppets on him?”

As soon as Lin Chang’sheng opened the Corpse Evil Daoist’s storage bag, he discovered over a thousand corpse puppets inside.

Among them, the strongest corpse puppets were at the Middle Stage of Tribulation Crossing, and the weakest were still at the Early Stage of Mahayana.

The Corpse Evil Daoist couldn’t fuse these corpse puppets into stronger ones, but Lin Chang’sheng could. Maybe he’d manage to fuse a few Late Stage Tribulation Crossing puppets—that would be a huge win.

In addition to over a thousand corpse puppets, Lin Chang’sheng also found more than fifty thousand Immortal Crystals, several Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, and a single Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure.

This Immortal Treasure was none other than that long spear covered in skulls which the Corpse Evil Daoist had just wielded.

The evil aura on it was overwhelmingly dense—Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t a fan.

He figured he’d just use it for fusion later on.

Next up were a few immortal books with secret techniques.

”Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Bones Palm!”

”Nine Souls Heaven-Sacrifice Technique!”

”Corpse Evil God Refining Technique!”

Spotting these three immortal books, Lin Chang’sheng found them all rather impressive.

The Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Bones Palm should be the palm technique the Corpse Evil Daoist had used. Its power was nothing to sneeze at—even Lin Chang’sheng’s Divine Thunder Arrow was completely blocked by it.

Once this palm technique reached perfection, it could fuse with the Corpse Demon Heaven-Suppressing Palm.

The Nine Souls Heaven-Sacrifice Technique, brought to perfection, could fuse with the Blood Demon Devouring God Skill.

Both of these secret techniques allowed for a short-term boost to cultivation.

As for the Corpse Evil God Refining Technique, it was a Cultivation Technique. Once mastered to perfection, it could merge with the Demon Devouring Sacred Flame Technique.

These three immortal techniques were all genuinely useful for Lin Chang’sheng.

”Not bad!”

Lin Chang’sheng was quite satisfied with his haul. ”Time to fuse all these corpse puppets together—let’s see how many Late Stage Tribulation Crossing puppets I can make out of this.”

Lin Chang’sheng mused to himself, and then began fusing corpse puppets nonstop.

After fusing all the Mahayana corpse puppets, he synthesized twelve Early Stage Tribulation Crossing puppets.

[Detected 16 Early Stage Tribulation Crossing corpse puppets. Fuse into 8 Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing corpse puppets?]

A notification popped up in his panel.

”Yes!”

Lin Chang’sheng chose to fuse without hesitation.

Immediately, a wave of white light enveloped the sixteen Early Stage Tribulation Crossing corpse puppets.

Under the blinding radiance, about five breaths later, the white light faded away, and only eight Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing corpse puppets remained on the ground.

[Detected 10 Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing corpse puppets. Fuse into 2 Late Stage Tribulation Crossing corpse puppets?]

A second later, the panel prompted him again.

”Yes!”

Lin Chang’sheng again swiftly confirmed.

As light flashed, the ten Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing corpse puppets began to fuse together.

Soon, the light faded, and inside the storage bag were two Late Stage Tribulation Crossing corpse puppets.

”Nice. Added to the one I refined before, I now have three Late Stage Tribulation Crossing corpse puppets in hand!”

Lin Chang’sheng was very pleased. Once he assembled ten Late Stage Tribulation Crossing puppets, he could fuse a true Immortal Corpse.

And an Immortal Corpse like that would be completely different from the ones inside arrays.

The Immortal Corpses condensed within arrays couldn’t be summoned, and after killing the intruders, they’d just fall apart.

But once he fused an Immortal Corpse, even if he later faced a cultivator at the Immortal Realm, Lin Chang’sheng would have nothing to fear, even without Xiaobai’s help.

”First, let’s study these immortal techniques in depth!”

After finishing the corpse fusion, Lin Chang’sheng turned his attention to the three immortal techniques.

The road to Ice and Snow Province was long—just the right time to grind the proficiency of these immortal arts.

...

[Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Bones Palm Entry Level!]

[Nine Souls Heaven-Sacrifice Technique Entry Level!]

[Corpse Evil God Refining Technique Entry Level!]

After a single day, Lin Chang’sheng finally brought all three immortal techniques to the Entry Level.

[Detected Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Bones Palm. Spend 9000 Immortal Crystals to simplify it?]

[Detected Nine Souls Heaven-Sacrifice Technique. Spend 9500 Immortal Crystals to simplify it?]

[Detected Corpse Evil God Refining Technique. Spend 9500 Immortal Crystals to simplify it?]

Three notifications popped up in turn.

”Yes!”

Lin Chang’sheng selected ”Agree” on all of them one by one.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplification for Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Bones Palm started... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Bones Palm == Holding Hands!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplification for Nine Souls Heaven-Sacrifice Technique started... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Nine Souls Heaven-Sacrifice Technique == Looking at the Sky!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplification for Corpse Evil God Refining Technique started... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Corpse Evil God Refining Technique == Corpse Refining!]

”Holding Hands? Looking at the Sky? Corpse Refining?”

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself that Looking at the Sky was probably the easiest one.

But what about Holding Hands? Would holding his own left hand with his right hand count?

Lin Chang’sheng gave it a shot, but nothing happened.

He then glanced at Gu Shan but quickly shook his head—two grown men holding hands? No way.

If Guo Yunchu saw that, she’d probably think he swung the other way.

”Ahem—”

Lin Chang’sheng awkwardly cleared his throat, then went off to find Guo Yunchu.

”Miss Guo, I’m really moved that you chose to travel with me. I was wondering if you could help me with something?”

Lin Chang’sheng asked, a bit embarrassed.

Guo Yunchu blinked in confusion. What kind of scheme was this guy up to this time?

”Spit it out. If you need to fart, just let it rip!”

Guo Yunchu looked at Lin Chang’sheng, getting the definite sense he was up to no good again.

”It’s like this. I found an immortal technique in the Corpse Evil Daoist’s storage bag, but the cultivation method is a little weird. It requires holding hands with a woman in order to comprehend it! I was wondering if you... maybe could...?”

Lin Chang’sheng trailed off before he finished, suddenly feeling like his request was a bit much.

But at the moment, it didn’t seem like there was a better option.

”No way—”

Guo Yunchu pretended to be mad, turning her head away, but a sneaky little smile played at the corner of her mouth, away from Lin Chang’sheng’s line of sight.

This guy totally just wanted to take advantage of her using ”cultivation” as an excuse.

Yet for some reason she still felt a little pleased inside.

”Fine, forget I mentioned it then!”

Lin Chang’sheng had to back off. Forcing someone, especially a girl, just wasn’t in his playbook.

”Hey!”

Just as Lin Chang’sheng was about to leave, Guo Yunchu called out, ”How long do we have to hold hands, anyway?”

”Half a day is enough!”

Lin Chang’sheng replied right away. Wait, was she agreeing?

”Well, you did save me a couple times. Let’s just call this payback—don’t say I’m not grateful!”

Guo Yunchu spoke in a mock aggrieved tone and then stretched out her hand.

Lin Chang’sheng was a bit stunned. When did this girl get so agreeable? She sure wasn’t like this before.

Since she agreed, Lin Chang’sheng obviously wasn’t going to refuse—he instantly took Guo Yunchu’s hand.

He immediately noticed that her hand was absurdly soft.

No wonder they say women are made of water—her skin was milky white and oh-so-smooth.

Guo Yunchu’s whole body went stiff, like she’d been zapped with lightning.

Luckily, in the next moment, Lin Chang’sheng looked away into the sky.

Only then did Guo Yunchu begin to feel a little less awkward.

Still, her heart kept thumping in her chest no matter what.

She’d never had a crush on a guy before—Lin Chang’sheng was the absolute first.

Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Bones Palm Experience Points +1!

Nine Souls Heaven-Sacrifice Technique Experience Points +1!

...

As Lin Chang’sheng held hands with Guo Yunchu and then gazed up at the sky, the proficiency of both immortal arts began to skyrocket.

Once those two were maxed out, Lin Chang’sheng could refine corpses to grind up proficiency for the Corpse Evil God Refining Technique next.

...

As Lin Chang’sheng headed for Ice and Snow Province while training immortal techniques...

Immortal Martial Hall, Futian Province.

By now, Luo Juetian had already returned to the Immortal Martial Hall.

When Guo Tiangang heard about Guo Yunchu’s choice, he couldn’t help being very surprised.

”You mean to say that Yunchu’s fallen for Lin Chang’sheng?”

Bright lights flashed in Guo Tiangang’s eyes.

If those two really got together, it would be an enormous boon for the Immortal Martial Hall.

Even if Lin Chang’sheng had slaughtered a bunch of his elders, he could let bygones be bygones.

After all, Lin Chang’sheng’s potential was just too great. If he could land a son-in-law like that, Guo Tiangang would be grinning in his sleep.

Lin Chang’sheng reaching the Immortal Body was just a matter of time anyway.

Plus, there was a Great Immortal Realm strongman at Lin Chang’sheng’s side whose identity was definitely extraordinary.

That person had shattered a wisp of Guo Tiangang’s divine thought with a single effortless strike.

”That’s right! I just worry—”

Luo Juetian stopped mid-sentence.

”Worry about what?”

Guo Tiangang asked.

”Worried whether Lin Chang’sheng even likes Yunchu at all. If she’s all alone in this, she might end up hurt.”

Luo Juetian voiced his concern.

”You’re telling me Lin Chang’sheng isn’t interested in Yunchu? Hmph, the nerve! Yunchu taking a liking to him is a blessing earned from several lifetimes of cultivation! If he doesn’t know how to appreciate it, I’ll cut him down myself!”

Guo Tiangang said with unyielding resolve. ”Where’d they go, anyway?”

”Judging by their route, it looks like Ice and Snow Province!”

Luo Juetian replied.

”Ice and Snow Province?”

Guo Tiangang muttered to himself, worry flickering across his heart—he had a faint sense that something bad was about to happen.

After all, if they really went to Ice and Snow Province, that place was trouble, not somewhere you just strolled through.
