.......
Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.
Liuyun Immortal Sect.
Piaomiao Peak.
"Brother Lin, are you doing alright?"
"Itâs already been two years without any news from you."
Halfway up the mountain, inside a quiet courtyard, a stunning girl dressed in purple, graceful and elegant, looked off into the distant sky, her beautiful eyes filled with deep worry.
"I hope youâre quietly hiding somewhere to cultivate in peace."
Gao Ziyue gazed at the far-off sky, letting out a soft sigh.
She knew things were extremely dangerous now in the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.
The Beimu Immortal Race was at war with the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm; the Southern Domain was at a disadvantage. On top of that, the Demon Dao eyed them hungrily, ready to reap the benefits. One careless mistake by the righteous cultivators and it could mean death or destruction.
Brother Lin wandering alone outside was definitely very risky.
.......
Great Yu Dynasty.
Imperial Palace.
A regal Empress, crown upon her head, graceful yet commanding, stood outside the Taihe Hall, hands clasped behind her back.
This was none other than Yu Wenjing, who had already ascended the throne.
"Your Majesty, thereâs just been news. In our neighboring Wei Kingdom, many Immortal Masters have appeared. Theyâre said to be from the Golden Talisman Immortal Sect, disciples who were defeated by the far northern Beimu Immortal Race and have since taken refuge in the mortal world!"
"These Immortal Sect disciples have now seized control of the Great Wei Dynasty."
"I fear they might move into our Great Yu Dynasty as well."
Behind Yu Wenjing, a middle-aged man cupped his fists, face full of worry.
"Mhmm, I am aware,"
Yu Wenjing replied in a deep voice, her eyes shadowed with concern. "Discuss countermeasures with the ministers at tomorrowâs morning court."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jin Wuque bowed deeply, cupping his fists.
......
Over the vast ocean, a thirty-zhang long ship drifted slowly forward.
Lin Changâsheng sat inside the cabin, three stunning girls dancing before himâYu Lingfei, Zhang Aoxue, and Fu Qingyu.
Each of the three girls had a hand drum the size of a sea bowl tied to their slender waists, the same drums Lin Changâsheng had stashed away in his storage bag. Heâd prepared these for simplifying cultivation techniques, never expecting theyâd be useful now.
The three women were breathtakingly beautiful, figures delicate and charming, their eyes enchanting every glanceâlike three fresh blossoms in full bloom.
The pulsating drumbeats and graceful spins sent waves of girlish fragrance wafting through the air.
Immovable Golden Buddha Technique Experience Points +1!
Immovable Golden Buddha Technique Experience Points +1!
.......
As Lin Changâsheng watched the trioâs performance, his system panel kept popping up red notifications.
"Now this is the life of a cultivator."
Lin Changâsheng sighed to himself, enjoying the girlsâ dance.
Of course, watching three beauties dancing, there was no way he could be unaffected. Yet he continued circulating his cultivation technique to suppress it; with no spiritual energy here, he used spirit stones to replenish his magical power.
From the mummiesâ storage bags, heâd found sixty or seventy thousand spirit stones. Right now, boosting his strength was something he wouldnât skimp on.
[Immovable Golden Buddha Technique Perfection.]
At that moment, a red notice popped up on Lin Changâshengâs status panel.
"Hmm? My Immovable Golden Buddha Technique has reached Perfection."
Seeing the message, Lin Changâshengâs eyes lit up with satisfaction.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
.......
A series of bone-popping sounds echoed from Lin Changâshengâs body, spreading outward like cracking beans.
A surge of immense strength flooded every inch of Lin Changâshengâs limbs and bones!
At the same time, a faint glowing divine wheel appeared behind Lin Changâshengâs head, casting him in a light resembling a golden Buddha, impossibly sacred.
A mighty aura radiated outward from him.
Alongside it, a torrent of information poured into Lin Changâshengâs mind, instantly merging with his consciousnessâinsights and techniques about reaching perfection with the Immovable Golden Buddha Technique.
"Daoist Long broke through with his body refining technique?"
Yu Lingfei abruptly paused mid-dance, sensing the surge of power radiating from Lin Changâsheng. She turned to look at him, eyes wide in shock.
She realized that at this moment, Long Pingâanâs aura was actually equal to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer!
"Daoist Long just watched us dance and his body refining technique broke through! That kind of talent..."
Zhang Aoxueâs eyes widened, staring at Lin Changâsheng, almost unable to believe what she was seeing.
She knew very well that body refining techniques were the hardest to cultivate.
Especially after entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, advancing further was even tougher; but if a body refining technique reached Great Success, the strength it granted was monstrous.
Plus, she noticed that faint golden wheel behind Daoist Longâs head made him look like a Buddhist arhat.
From the look of it, Daoist Longâs body refining technique was from the Buddhist Sect!
"Daoist Long, whatâs going on...?"
Just then, Zhuo Yijian and the others outside rushed into the cabin, having sensed the powerful aura inside. Seeing the golden wheel behind Lin Changâshengâs head and his overwhelming energy, their faces filled with dread.
"Nothing much, just a breakthrough in my body refining technique."
Lin Changâsheng said nonchalantly.
He knew perfectly well that his breakthrough was entirely thanks to the experience points from watching Yu Lingfei and the girls dance.
"Congratulations Daoist Long, your body cultivation has reached the next level!"
"Congratulations Daoist Long! With your strength upgraded, our hopes of leaving the Spirit-Seizing Land just got bigger!"
"......"
Hearing Lin Changâshengâs words, Yu Lingfei, Zhuo Yijian and the others stared in shock before bursting out in envy, all offering their congratulations.
They were all cultivators, all unable to continue cultivating.
Yet Daoist Longâs physical strength kept breaking boundariesâhis martial Dao talent was out of this world.
