Chapter 172 - 126: Annihilating Golden Core! Strongest Foundation Establishment Stage! Massive Gains! Jade Spirit Marrow Acquired!

"Time to move."

Lin Chang’sheng swept his gaze over the cultivators surrounding him. With a flick of his hand, he stored the corpse of the Cold Jade Snow Python into his storage bag.

"Oh no, Corpse King Sect Golden Core Peak!"

Right at that moment, Lin Chang’sheng’s expression shifted.

He hadn’t expected that after just killing a Corpse King Sect Golden Core Early Stage cultivator, another companion at Golden Core Peak would appear!

Without hesitation, he unleashed a flurry of techniques. Forty-nine array foundations and an array plate soared through rocks into the sky, floating before being stored away by Lin Chang’sheng.

After tidying up the array foundations and array plate, Lin Chang’sheng’s figure flickered—he activated Three Thousand Thunder Moves, flying through the air atop his saber.

"You little bastard, how dare you kill my Corpse King Sect Golden Core! You’re dead!"

At that moment, a thunderous voice roared across the distant sky. Accompanying the voice, a black-robed figure sped toward him, standing atop a three-zhang long white jade coffin!

At the same time, a terrifying aura exploded outward!

Wherever he passed, wild winds swept the land!

Trailing behind him were five Golden Corpses, each radiating the terror of Golden Core Late Stage!

"Holy crap, his own cultivation is Golden Core Peak and he even brought five Golden Corpses!"

Lin Chang’sheng rushed forward, using his divine sense to scan the Golden Core Peak cultivator behind him.

Upon seeing the situation, he made a split-second decision. With a wave of his hand, he summoned Xiaobai from his spirit beast bag. Urgently, he shook the drowsy Xiaobai awake, saying, "Xiaobai, Teleport—someone’s chasing me!"

Xiaobai’s sleepy eyes flew open wide, glancing at the Gold Core Peak pursuer and the five Golden Corpses close behind. Instantly, her little front paws cast several techniques, wrapping herself and Lin Chang’sheng in a burst of white light!

"Swish! Swish!"

With two soft sounds, Lin Chang’sheng and Xiaobai were enveloped in white light, vanishing on the spot, destination unknown.

"White Fox! Teleportation!"

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Lu Yunchang stared at the cultivator ten miles away. As that white fox unleashed instant teleportation and disappeared, Lu Yunchang stomped angrily and sped off after them.

"That’s the Corpse King Sect’s top Golden Core Elder, Lu Yunchang! Can’t believe he’s here too. The Demon Dao is really brazenly trying to invade our Southern Domain Cultivation Realm."

"That Foundation Establishment Third Layer guy’s got so many tricks up his sleeve—freakishly strong body, formidable divine sense, mastery over arrays, and now a white fox with instant teleportation? That’s ridiculous!"

"He left with that white fox using teleportation? If I remember right, in the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm the other day, a cultivator named Lin Chang’sheng took a little white fox and snatched away eight streams of Heaven and Earth Qi. Escaped using the white fox too—anyone recall?"

"Now that you mention it... That’s him! He refined eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi—that’s why he’s so OP. Everyone in the Cultivation Realm, both righteous and evil, is hunting him down, and he was hiding right here!"

"........"

Seeing Lin Chang’sheng leave with his little white fox in a flash of teleportation, the cultivators present were all shocked beyond belief, chattering away. A few even had greedy gleams in their eyes.

Everyone knew the bounty on Lin Chang’sheng was huge back then!

"It’s Brother Lin!"

At that very moment, atop a peak more than ten miles away, Gao Ziyue saw the teleporting figure leave. Her beautiful eyes brimmed with shock and delight.

She never imagined that the Lin she’d been thinking about day and night would appear right before her.

She remembered.

Back then in the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm, streams of Heaven and Earth Qi appeared—Brother Lin and his little fox snatched eight and vanished without a trace.

Cultivators from both the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm and Demon Evil Sea were searching for him, even posting rewards.

She once thought Brother Lin had perished, and worried for ages. Now, seeing Lin Chang’sheng teleport away safe and sound, her heart was tangled with worry and joy.

"Brother Lin, I hope you can get away!"

Gao Ziyue silently prayed in her heart.

"He’s got the white fox and can instantly teleport—he must be our Sect’s Lin Chang’sheng!"

"He refined eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi—no wonder he’s so fierce!"

Bai Yufen stood beside Gao Ziyue, eyes full of shock as she watched Lin Chang’sheng’s departing silhouette.

She hadn’t expected that the Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivator, with such a strong body, powerful divine sense, and array skills, would turn out to be the disciple the Sect had been desperately seeking—Lin Chang’sheng!

Just for Lin Chang’sheng, the Sect had dispatched every Foundation Establishment disciple and all the Golden Core Elders.

You have to know—

Liuyun Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader Zhu Changkong, back in the day, refined just one strand of Heaven and Earth Qi and reached Nascent Soul Stage in under two hundred years!

But Lin Chang’sheng refined eight, and with just Foundation Establishment Third Layer, managed to slay two Golden Core Early Stage cultivators, plus a Demon Beast Cold Jade Snow Python equal to Golden Core Early Stage!

This Lin Chang’sheng’s future will definitely outshine Sect Leader Su Changkong!

"Ziyue, let’s go."

Bai Yufen spoke to Gao Ziyue. With that, she swept up Gao Ziyue in her cultivation and shot off as a rainbow streak.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators present entered the mountain’s belly, trying to see if any Jade Spirit Marrow remained, but came up empty-handed. Even that Black Armor Profound Ghost had to leave disappointed in the end.

......

A thousand miles from the Jade Spirit Marrow site.

Lin Chang’sheng and the little white fox appeared in the depths of a forested mountain.

"Xiaobai, are you alright?"

After landing, Lin Chang’sheng looked at Xiaobai cradled in his arms, concerned.

He realized Xiaobai looked weak and listless, probably drained from over-exertion.

"Eee eee eee!"

Xiaobai gave a soft, weary cry, shook her head, then closed her eyes, signaling that she needed a break.

"Take this and absorb it."

Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes lit up as he took out a bottle of Jade Spirit Marrow, placing it in front of Xiaobai. Jade Spirit Marrow could boost a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s chance of advancing to Golden Core by thirty percent, but each person could only take one drop.

More than one drop wouldn’t help.

Might as well give a drop to Xiaobai—for today, she really saved his neck. Without her, who knows what would have happened!

That Golden Core Peak guy wasn’t just strong himself—he brought five Golden Corpses!

"Eee eee eee!"

The white fox’s eyes gleamed as she saw the Jade Spirit Marrow. She hugged the bottle with both paws, licked it clean, then looked at Lin Chang’sheng hopefully—like, do you have more?

"No more, Xiaobai, just the one drop."

Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand, saying there were four drops left; he’d use one himself, and trade the remaining three for other treasures later.

"Eee!"

Xiaobai stared at Lin Chang’sheng suspiciously, eyes wide. She didn’t really believe him, but still curled up for a nap.

Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand to store Xiaobai into the spirit beast bag, then dashed swiftly onward.

He knew—

You never knew when that Golden Core Peak would catch up, so the farther away, the safer!

Ten days later.

Lin Chang’sheng pressed on, finally arriving in a deep mountain. His divine sense swept six hundred miles, with no other cultivators detected.

"I’ll enter closed-door cultivation here and digest my latest gains!"

Lin Chang’sheng stood beneath a cliff among vines and started excavating his cave mansion, tossing stones directly into his storage bag.

His physical body was incredibly strong; it took him less than an hour to dig out a cave mansion.

The cave mansion had three rooms:

A cultivation chamber, a bedroom, and another room for Xiaobai.

Once everything was tidy, he covered the entrance with vines and boulders, then headed to the cultivation chamber and sat cross-legged on a pillow.

"Let’s see what treasures that Profound Court sent me!"

Lin Chang’sheng first took out Profound Court’s storage bag, eyes full of anticipation.

He estimated that Profound Court was at Golden Core Late Stage cultivation.

Too bad for him—shouldn’t have entered the Spirit-Seizing Land to chase me down.

Spirit-Seizing Land had no spiritual energy for cultivation, suppressed divine sense, and even a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator like Profound Court couldn’t use his full power!

So he ended up being slain by me, just like that!
