Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 320 - 262: Gathering at the Immortal Ascension Conference, Zhuge Buping’s Difficulties
Liuyun Immortal Sect.
When Su Changkong heard that the Four Great Sects were already on their way here, he couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
He had thought the Four Great Immortal Sects were tough nuts to crack, but turns out they’re just obedient little dogs bowing to him.
"Elder Li, how’s the construction of the Ascension Platform going?"
Su Changkong asked.
With every major sect coming to visit his Liuyun Immortal Sect, of course he had to show off the depth of their resources.
This Ascension Platform was built with hundreds of thousands of spirit stones—luxurious and imposing in every way.
"It’ll be finished in the next few days, everything’s going up according to your orders, Sect Leader."
Li Jiantang replied.
"Good, very good!"
Su Changkong was pretty pleased. "Prepare a few more treasures. We can host a youth tournament when the time comes—good opportunity to recruit talented youngsters from all the great sects and bring them into Liuyun!"
Su Changkong had already arranged everything. Even if the Four Great Sects were willing to submit, he wouldn’t let them develop independently.
Their geniuses would all end up coming into his Liuyun Sect anyway.
If they dared to say ’no’—well, that would just be asking for death.
"On it!"
Li Jiantang agreed and quickly withdrew.
He was well aware that, in the future, Su Changkong was bound to ascend to the Immortal Realm. After that, wouldn’t Liuyun Immortal Sect basically be his to run?
So working for Su Changkong, Li Jiantang was the most enthusiastic of all.
And Su Changkong was happy to put him in important positions too.
...
In the blink of an eye, the one-month deadline had arrived.
Today was the day of the Immortal Ascension Conference, held on Liuyun Immortal Sect’s Piaomiao Peak.
Li Jiantang was in charge of reception for this event.
As the various sects arrived one after another, the Liuyun Immortal Sect got livelier than ever.
Soon, the Four Great Immortal Sects also arrived, bringing their sect elders and disciples along.
"Stick to the plan!"
Wang Chonglou gave the other sect leaders a parting reminder before striding up Piaomiao Peak.
"Celestial Sword Sect! Sect Leader Wang arrives with his Grand Elders and disciples!"
Li Jiantang immediately greeted Wang Chonglou as soon as he saw him.
He couldn’t stifle a smile at the corners of his mouth.
So much for being tough—at the end of the day, even the Four Great Sects show up obediently to bow and congratulate?
"Yanyue Immortal Sect! Jiaoyue Fairy leads her elders and disciples!"
"Yin Yang Dao Sect! Fierce Sun Dao Venerable arrives with elders and disciples!"
...
With Li Jiantang’s loud announcements, everyone could see the grand arrival of the Four Great Immortal Sects.
"Did you hear? Back at the Sea God Tower treasure grab, the Four Great Sects actually fought Su Changkong to protect Lin Chang’sheng—and now they’ve got the face to attend the Immortal Ascension Conference here?"
"What else can they do? Not show up and wait for Su Changkong to go after them? If they skip this, even their sects won’t be safe."
"True enough. Now that Su Changkong’s a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, even if the Four work together, they’re likely not his match. Not showing up would end really badly for them!"
"Bet today will be a good show. Su Changkong’s definitely not the forgiving type—he remembers every grudge!"
...
People from all the nearby powers were buzzing with gossip.
To them, today’s Immortal Ascension Conference was far more than a little get-together—or just congratulating Su Changkong.
This could very well be a plot against the Four Great Sects.
And not long after, Lin Chang’sheng also arrived at Liuyun Immortal Sect, having met the loose cultivator Tu Yunfei on the way.
Lin Chang’sheng had already used the Bone Transformation Technique to change his appearance and lowered his cultivation to the Golden Core Early Stage.
Tu Yunfei, one of the top loose cultivators, had also recently formed his core a month before.
The two walked toward Piaomiao Peak, discussing core formation opportunities along the way.
"Daoist Long, never thought you also got the chance to form your core in the Void Divine Hall. What are the odds?!"
Tu Yunfei was genuinely excited when he learned Lin Chang’sheng also got his opportunity in the Void Divine Hall—they hit it off right away.
There seemed to be endless things to talk about.
In a flash, the two arrived at the base of Piaomiao Peak.
Just as they were about to enter, disciples from Liuyun Immortal Sect stepped up and stopped them.
"Anyone participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference must show a Sect Token. Unless you’re a top disciple or an elder, nobody else gets in!"
The disciple blocking the path, Ao Man, said smugly.
Ever since Su Changkong had become a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, Liuyun Immortal Sect’s disciples had gotten cocky as hell—looking down at everyone as if only their own farts didn’t stink.
"So loose cultivators don’t even qualify?"
Hearing that, Tu Yunfei was seriously pissed—he figured Su Changkong really was a snob.
Poor folks with no connections don’t have the right to join?
"Loose cultivators want in? They should take a look at themselves and know their place!"
Not far away, Zhuge Buping heard the commotion and came over with a sneer.
So it’s just two loose cultivators, thinking they can join the Immortal Ascension Conference?
Liuyun Immortal Sect isn’t a place just anyone off the street can waltz right into.
"You—"
Hearing that, Tu Yunfei was seething. The other guy really looked down on them like dirt.
"Take it easy, Daoist Tu. Give me a moment!"
Lin Chang’sheng spoke up, because he’d just spotted a familiar figure.
This guy was swaggering around with his hands holding up his pants, ogling every girl he passed—totally enjoying himself.
"Daoist Cao!"
Lin Chang’sheng called out as he walked over.
Cao De heard him and looked up—then pointed at himself as if to say, "Do I know you?"
Lin Chang’sheng waved him over without hesitation.
"Daoist, you know me?"
Cao De asked in confusion. He honestly didn’t remember this guy at all.
Lin Chang’sheng pulled Cao De to the side. "Why would I call you if I didn’t know you?"
Cao De was even more puzzled. How come he didn’t know this guy?
"What do you want?"
Cao De asked warily.
"Nothing big, just a small favor—bring us inside the Immortal Ascension Conference. That shouldn’t be an issue for you, right?"
Lin Chang’sheng said it plainly.
"That’s easy enough, but... why should I help you?"
Cao De was still racking his brain—he really had zero recollection of this guy.
"If you don’t help me, maybe I’ll just accidentally let everyone know about your little snacks on the side... Wouldn’t do your reputation much good, would it?"
Lin Chang’sheng threatened matter-of-factly.
Hearing that, Cao De stared at Lin Chang’sheng in shock. "You’re Lin—"
But before he could finish, Lin Chang’sheng kicked him, telling him to shut up.
Cao De quickly clamped a hand over his mouth. "Say no more, say no more, I’ll get you in!"
Cao De wouldn’t normally stick his neck out for anyone—except Lin Chang’sheng. That face, he had to give. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Let them through! My bro’s friends dare to get blocked? You wanna die?"
Cao De snapped at the two disciples blocking the way, then ushered Lin Chang’sheng and Tu Yunfei inside.
The gatekeepers were left baffled, glancing at Zhuge Buping, who also kept his mouth shut—so they just let them in.
No one wanted to interfere with Cao De’s business.
After all, Cao De was one of the sect’s top geniuses—a much more important figure than them.
Pissing him off would make life hell later on.
"Count yourselves lucky! Once you’re in, let’s see how well you do!"
Zhuge Buping watched them go with an ugly sneer—who’d have thought they knew Cao De?
Cao De was no pushover—no need to make enemies just yet. There’d be time for payback later.
"Damn, Daoist Long, you sure have connections! Well played!"
Tu Yunfei was genuinely impressed that Lin Chang’sheng could just wave someone over and walk right in.
