Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 562 - 404: The Immortal Palace Trembles, This Son Defies Heaven—Yu Qianxue’s Concerns

"An Upper Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure?"

When Sun Ba saw the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure in Lin Chang’sheng’s hand, his heart trembled.

He hadn’t expected Lin Chang’sheng to actually have an Upper Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure in his possession.

It seemed that suppressing Lin Chang’sheng wouldn’t be as easy as he’d thought.

"Haaah—!"

Sun Ba let out a furious shout and struck first, channeling his Primordial Power into the massive hammer in his hand, then swung the hammer down toward Lin Chang’sheng’s head.

The giant hammer manifested a hundred-zhang-long phantom in midair, like the vault of heaven coming down to suppress everything. The force was immense.

The overwhelming aura made the surrounding disciples suck in a cold breath.

If they were the ones facing such a powerful attack, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance of resisting.

Yet faced with such a strike, Lin Chang’sheng showed not the slightest sign of fear. He surged his Primordial Power, and the Evil-Breaking Blade in his hand began to roar.

"Celestial Vault Godslaying Slash!"

Lin Chang’sheng swung the Evil-Breaking Blade, unleashing a single strike. The whole space twisted as the surging Blade Aura seemed to stir heaven and earth itself.

BOOM—

In the next instant, the Blade Aura and the giant hammer collided fiercely, erupting with an earth-shattering explosion.

The disciples nearby even covered their ears to shield themselves from the deafening blast.

Even though the Primordial Power waves were blocked by the array, the sound was not.

The thunderous explosion hadn’t yet faded when a figure went flying backward.

When everyone looked closely, they realized it was Sun Ba.

"What...?"

The surrounding disciples were all stunned—Sun Ba was a Middle Stage Integration Cultivator!

And yet, he couldn’t withstand even two moves from Lin Chang’sheng?

"My god, Lin Chang’sheng’s power is insane! Even a cultivator at the middle stage of Integration can’t last two moves against him?"

"It’s unbelievable... Does that mean Lin Chang’sheng is strong enough to go toe-to-toe with a late stage Integration cultivator?"

"Very likely. No wonder he’s ranked first on the Celestial Pride List—his strength is terrifying. If nothing goes wrong, Lin Chang’sheng is likely qualified to become an Immortal!"

"No kidding. I bet even the Sect Leader will train Lin Chang’sheng as her successor!"

...

The surrounding disciples were all shocked by Lin Chang’sheng’s formidable strength.

They’d thought his journey would end here, but even a genius like Sun Ba couldn’t block Lin Chang’sheng’s advance.

Even Elder Fang at the side was visibly shocked. In over a thousand years, this was only the second time he’d seen such a monstrously talented genius.

"If this one is nurtured properly, he could definitely become an Immortal Venerable one day! I hope he doesn’t lose his way."

Elder Fang muttered to himself.

On the battlefield—

Sun Ba was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground. His giant hammer had landed not far away, his hands were trembling, his palms torn open and bleeding, clearly unable to fight anymore.

"Lin Chang’sheng wins!"

Elder Fang decisively announced Lin Chang’sheng as the victor.

"Thank you for letting me win, Senior Brother Sun!"

Lin Chang’sheng stepped forward and helped Sun Ba to his feet.

"You’re too modest, Junior Brother Lin. Your strength truly opened my eyes! I simply wasn’t strong enough. You beat me fair and square."

Sun Ba said helplessly, never expecting Lin Chang’sheng’s power to be so overwhelming.

...

Soon, the battles here drew the attention of the Immortal Palace’s elders.

Word had spread that a disciple had charged all the way from the foot up to the mountainside of Heaven-Reaching Peak—a rare talent indeed.

All the elders hurried to Heaven-Reaching Peak, eager to witness Lin Chang’sheng’s brilliance in person.

Meanwhile, in the Great Hall of Golden Flame Peak—

Elder Liu Feng was briefing Yu Qianxue on some matters when the news of Lin Chang’sheng challenging Heaven-Reaching Peak was reported.

"Lin Chang’sheng made it to rank 36?"

Liu Feng was a bit surprised, though thinking of Lin Chang’sheng’s talent it also made sense.

After all, he’d seen Lin Chang’sheng’s strength on the Celestial Pride List. There probably weren’t many middle stage Integration disciples who could defeat him.

If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Feng guessed Lin Chang’sheng would break into the top sixteen.

Because the fifteenth-ranked disciple was already at the late stage of Integration, and Lin Chang’sheng likely couldn’t shake him yet.

He was still only at the early stage of Integration.

Once he reached the middle stage of Integration, things would be different.

"Sect Leader, with Lin Chang’sheng’s talent, should we—"

Elder Liu Feng made a suggestion, the meaning obvious: he wanted to send Lin Chang’sheng some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Immortal Secret Techniques to help with his cultivation.

However, Yu Qianxue replied bluntly, "No need. We still don’t know enough about this one; let him grow by himself. We just need to keep him safe."

Yu Qianxue, just as Lin Chang’sheng had expected, though she promised to fully support his cultivation, had no real intention of offering enough sincerity.

Because she had once been harmed by a disciple, she had to be cautious now, afraid of nurturing a tiger who’d turn on her.

If Lin Chang’sheng was like the previous disciple, then they would be worse off for it.

"Understood."

Liu Feng replied helplessly.

As the words fell, Liu Feng left the hall and quickly made his way to Heaven-Reaching Peak. He too wanted to see just how far Lin Chang’sheng could go.

Soon, Heaven-Reaching Peak was packed with people.

Disciples from all the peaks had come to watch, and even various stewards and elders had come as well, making the place bustle with excitement.

Although many genius disciples at the middle stage of Integration were still a bit stronger in cultivation than Lin Chang’sheng—

Lin Chang’sheng’s Perfect Foundation Establishment made him a monster. A one-realm gap was meaningless to him.

Thus, Lin Chang’sheng stormed right up to rank sixteen.

The sixteenth-ranked disciple on Heaven-Reaching Peak was only at the middle stage of Integration—

But his strength could rival late stage Integration geniuses.

During this fight, Lin Chang’sheng could clearly feel himself straining.

ROAR—

Lin Chang’sheng directly unleashed the Divine Dragon Power; a dragon soared up, circled the sky, and dove into Lin Chang’sheng’s body.

With the boost of the Divine Dragon Power, Lin Chang’sheng’s muscles bulged, his body swelling with power. In just a few breaths, his cultivation rose to the middle stage of Integration.

After activating Divine Dragon Power, Lin Chang’sheng also unleashed the Blood Demon Devouring God Skill. Burning a drop of blood, his cultivation leaped to the Middle Stage of Integration.

"He has a secret technique like that?"

"Yeah, raising both body and Primordial Power an entire realm at the same time—this is insane!"

"So if Lin Chang’sheng reaches the middle stage of Integration normally, even late stage Integration geniuses won’t be able to beat him?"

"If that’s the case, he’s a total monster!"

"Even the Immortal Palace doesn’t have such powerful immortal techniques. Where did Lin Chang’sheng learn this from?"

"With that kind of cultivation, he must have had countless lucky encounters. Probably found it in some Grotto Heaven Blessed Land!"

...

The disciples around were stunned seeing Lin Chang’sheng channel Divine Dragon Power and secret arts simultaneously.

With the boost of these two powers, the fight against this middle stage Integration disciple became much easier for Lin Chang’sheng.

BAM—

Lin Chang’sheng stomped down, instantly unleashing his Force Field Realm.

A twenty-fold pressure crashed down, making the disciple’s movements slow to a crawl.

After reaching Integration, Lin Chang’sheng’s Domain Power had also increased.

It seemed the Force Field Realm adapted in strength along with his cultivation.

"Break!"

Lin Chang’sheng threw a punch, warping the whole space around.

The roaring Fist Aura carried with it the full Power of the Celestial Vault, hurtling forward.

The middle stage Integration disciple saw the incoming Fist Aura. Although he couldn’t dodge, he immediately thrust out both palms to block.

BOOM—

The powerful Fist Aura collided brutally with the twin palms, unleashing an earthshaking boom. The disciple was blasted away—

He smashed into a distant stone wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Before he could get up, Lin Chang’sheng drew the Divine Thunder Bow and fired nine Thunderbolt Arrows in quick succession, slicing through the air.

The arrows loosed from the Divine Thunder Bow were powerful—each laced with thunder and fiery flame.

If this disciple couldn’t dodge, he’d be skewered for sure.

"I concede!"

Right as the arrows were about to pierce him, the disciple knew he was no match for Lin Chang’sheng and admitted defeat on the spot.

BAM BAM BAM—

Lin Chang’sheng then controlled the arrows to veer past the disciple and slam into the Array Shield, erupting in a cacophony of thunder.

If Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t used secret arts to enhance his body and power, he would have lost for sure.

But with both his body and Primordial Power raised to equal his opponent, the other guy stood no chance.

"Lin Chang’sheng, wins!"

Elder Fang announced once again.

Who knows how many times he’d already said it today.

"Will you keep challenging upward?"

Elder Fang looked at Lin Chang’sheng.

Any higher up, and he’d be facing late stage Integration disciples, while Lin Chang’sheng was only at the early stage of Integration—they were worlds apart.

After all, late stage Integration had five times more Primordial Power than middle stage.

Let alone versus early stage—it’s on a completely different level.
