Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 356 - 295-296: Another Gift of Creation? The Undying Body, Bloodbath at Cloud Map Tribe, Yan Zhen Awakens [Request]
Situ Wu’s lips curled into a cruel, cold smile.
This little bug—he was dead meat. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
To dare mess with the powers that be, he must have a death wish.
...
Great Yu, Mu City.
Deep in the eerie underground abyss, atop an unbelievably cold Ice Crystal Jade Bed.
"Chang’sheng—"
A stunningly beautiful woman suddenly cried out and opened her eyes wide.
Yan Zhen’s eyes were filled with panic.
Because in her dream, Lin Chang’sheng was still in that gravely ill state, never getting enough to eat, always relying on her charity.
In the dream, she’d nearly watched him beaten to death—Yan Zhen rushed in to protect him, and woke up terrified.
When she woke, Yan Zhen saw the place was surrounded by ominous white bones, and instantly her fear intensified.
"Wh-who am I? Where... where am I?"
Yan Zhen’s face was written all over with panic.
She only felt that she had experienced a very, very long dream, and couldn’t remember anything else about herself.
At this moment, she began to doubt her own identity. Was she Yan Zhen—or the Ice Frost Empress?
But whoever she was, right now all she wanted was to get away from this place.
The countless white bones everywhere made Yan Zhen deeply uncomfortable.
She stared up at sheer cliffs rising thousands of feet, feeling troubled.
But in the next instant, the Cold Ice Jade Bed behind her gently floated upward, coming to a stop beneath her feet.
Yan Zhen didn’t know why the Cold Ice Jade Bed could move, but she seemed to understand its intention, and immediately sat down on it.
The Cold Ice Jade Bed bore Yan Zhen upward, flying into the sky.
When she reached the top of the abyss, Yan Zhen discovered Mu City was nowhere to be seen.
The area within ten miles was nothing but ruins, as if it had burned for ten days and ten nights—an apocalyptic wasteland.
"What... what on earth happened here?"
Yan Zhen was thoroughly confused—since she’d been unconscious, what had Mu City gone through?
As Yan Zhen stared in shock, the Cold Ice Jade Bed began to shrink, and then shot into the center of her forehead and disappeared.
Yan Zhen felt an incredible coolness surge through her, making her whole body comfortable beyond words.
She immediately rushed toward Cyan Stone City, neighboring Mu City, wanting to find out what had really happened.
....
Twenty miles outside Cyan Stone City, inside a ruined temple in a mountain range.
A man sat cross-legged on a worn-out pillow, channeling his cultivation technique to refine the restrictions on the treasure in front of him.
This man was none other than Bu Tianzhi, who had fled the eerie abyss.
After he’d acquired his master Ding Changhai’s spirit treasure and storage bag, he hid himself here for secluded cultivation.
Not only had his cultivation reached the peak of Golden Core Late Stage, even the restrictions on the Yin Yang Wheel had been refined four times.
He could now command nearly eighty percent of the Yin Yang Wheel’s power.
"Give me three more days, and the Yin Yang Wheel will be wholly refined—then I’ll unleash my full power! No cultivator below the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul will be able to touch me!"
Bu Tianzhi’s lips curled into a cold smirk.
Inside Sea God Tower, he’d acquired the Demon God Celestial Tribulation Skill, letting him cultivate at blazing speed, and with his master’s spirit treasure and storage bag, he was like a tiger with wings.
The heights he would reach would be unimaginable.
Of course—so long as he survived and grew, he wouldn’t die prematurely.
If he got into the Burial Immortal Realm, his potential would be limitless.
"Now all the Demon Dao powerhouses have fallen; looks like only I can gather their remaining strength! when the time comes, all the demonic cultivators will serve me!"
Bu Tianzhi whispered to himself, barely able to contain his excitement.
He’d never imagined that one day he’d unify the demon path and command countless demonic cultivators.
...
[Myriad Nether Heaven-breaking Slash—achieved Perfection!]
[Heaven-Stepping Immortal-Tracking Step—achieved Perfection!]
[Three Thousand Divine Buddha Seals—achieved Perfection!]
On the way to the Demon Evil Sea, Lin Chang’sheng had already maxed out all three major immortal techniques.
All his immortal techniques were now sufficient; Lin Chang’sheng didn’t plan to train further, but intended to start corpse refinement.
After all, in Lin Chang’sheng’s storage bag were more than a few bodies at Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, some even at Nascent Soul Great Cultivator Level.
"That old bastard must be pulling my leg, right?"
Lin Chang’sheng recalled the words of the imprisoned old man in the sheepskin scroll, feeling something was off.
Who just gives away treasures for nothing? That’s probably a trap.
So Lin Chang’sheng planned to dig a bit more—try and pump the old coot for information.
He took out the four assembled sheepskin scroll pieces again, sending his divine sense inside.
Inside was still the endless deep sea.
Giant stone pillars like coiling dragons rose everywhere, and thick iron chains bound bodies to each one.
Some had already turned into deep white bones; others looked as though they’d only just died.
When Lin Chang’sheng approached the pillar at the front where the old man was, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.
"Young man, I’m giving you an incredible creation—why won’t you take it?"
Seeing Lin Chang’sheng, the old man was visibly surprised.
The Sea God Tower was a supreme treasure—countless people dreamed of it, yet Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t interested?
Hearing this, Lin Chang’sheng felt something off—how did this old man know he hadn’t yet obtained the Sea God Tower?
Maybe the old man could sense changes once it was acquired, which is why he was grilling him now.
"Senior, forgive me, I’m slow-witted—couldn’t fathom the Storm Array inside Sea God Tower, so I haven’t been able to claim the Sea God Tower!"
Lin Chang’sheng bluffed, wanting to see how the old man would react.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Chang’sheng admitted he hadn’t comprehended the Storm Array, the old man instantly became upset.
"What? You didn’t comprehend the Storm Array? Then I must be—"
The old man cried out in panic.
He’d pinned all his hopes on Lin Chang’sheng, counting on him to claim Sea God Tower, so he could finally be freed.
But Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t managed to comprehend the Storm Array?
That meant Sea God Tower wouldn’t open for another few hundred years—would his primordial spirit even last that long?
Hearing all this, Lin Chang’sheng was even more certain—getting the Sea God Tower would benefit the old man, probably helping him break free of his shackles.
If so, Lin Chang’sheng was even less inclined to set him free so easily.
This old guy’s remnant soul was already formidable; Lin Chang’sheng still had no guarantee he could annihilate him.
"So you’re stuck, aren’t you?"
Lin Chang’sheng sneered coldly; he wanted to see when the old codger would finally tell him the truth.
"Not at all! If you can’t get the Sea God Tower, my gift of creation won’t be wasted—it’s you who can’t reap the benefits, not my fault. You still have to break my shackles for me!"
The old man pressed on.
But Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t so easily fooled.
"I’d like to help, sure—but what benefit is there for me? Once you shake off your shackles and I can’t beat you, you’ll just turn on me and I’d be powerless to stop you—don’t you think you should make another offer?"
Lin Chang’sheng grinned as he spoke.
The old man was speechless for a moment: "Fine! I’ll give you an extra creation. If you follow the route in the sheepskin scroll to the end, you’ll find my corpse. My body is indestructible—a single drop of my blood will massively augment your constitution. But remember, just one drop—if you take more, your body won’t withstand it and might explode. Once you reach Divinity Transformation Stage, you can use brute strength to pull out the Sea God Tower!"
The old man offered another creation to Lin Chang’sheng.
This shocked Lin Chang’sheng deeply.
Indestructible flesh—what realm would that require? Even Divinity Transformation couldn’t make for an indestructible body; clearly, this old man’s original power far exceeded Divinity Transformation!
A single drop of blood able to alter your constitution—imagine how freakish his own strength must have been.
"So, Sea God Tower’s the real key to setting him free!"
Lin Chang’sheng instantly spotted the connection; no matter how the old man twisted it, everything hinged on Lin Chang’sheng claiming Sea God Tower.
So he changed his mind—decided to first follow the map and seek the old man’s body, to see if the offer was real. If it was, maybe with the blood of such a powerhouse, Lin Chang’sheng could finally break past Hao Zhix and reach Divinity Transformation.
"Don’t try to screw me over—if I die, the sheepskin scroll sinks into the ocean, and you’ll never see daylight again!"
Lin Chang’sheng laughed, all kindness on the surface, but firmly grasping the old man’s psychology.
"Wait—let me remind you; the place is risky, actually a grand array called the Three Souls Heaven-locking Array. There are three major sea demons within. But with your strength and brains, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about!"
The old man added a reminder.
His primordial spirit was separated from his body, but he could still sense some things.
"Both his soul and body have to be sealed by grand arrays—just who is this old bastard?"
This made Lin Chang’sheng even more wary of releasing him—maybe he’d be the first one killed once the old man got out.
Still, grand arrays were simple business for Lin Chang’sheng.
He could comprehend simplification and crack them with ease.
The blood inside a true powerhouse really was an invaluable treasure, and of course Lin Chang’sheng wouldn’t let it slip away—he was determined to go take a look.
