Chapter 198 - 150: Lin Changsheng of the Liuyun Immortal Sect! The Oppressive Might of the Nascent Soul Stage! Departure!

Murong Tian had been following him and had helped quite a bit.

Of course, if Lin Chang’sheng’s strength wasn’t up to par, he’d never let Murong Tian leave. But now, he was already at the Golden Core Stage, his Divine Consciousness was on par with Early Nascent Soul, and his physical strength rivaled Golden Core Middle Stage.

Ji Ruyan was naturally no threat to him anymore.

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Please accept three bows from this junior!"

Hearing Lin Chang’sheng’s words, Murong Tian was overjoyed and immediately bowed three times to him.

"Mhm, get up."

Lin Chang’sheng nodded, then put Murong Tian away, followed by the Hundred Thousand Soul Banner, turning his gaze to the Upper Grade Earth Spirit Vein deep below the ground, and thought to himself, "The spiritual energy from this Earth Spirit Vein is so dense. Why shouldn’t I take it? It’ll be perfect for my own cultivation!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought silently.

He knew well that once he left the Void Hall, he’d no longer benefit from this Upper Grade Earth Spirit Vein, so he might as well take it all with him.

Having thought that, Lin Chang’sheng instantly formed hand seals, casting spell after spell!

Immediately, a rumbling erupted from beneath the cave!

The crystal-clear, jade-like Earth Spirit Vein was slowly grabbed by a massive hand condensed from Lin Chang’sheng’s powerful magical power. In an instant, spiritual energy erupted throughout the entire underground space, surging violently!

The next moment—

Lin Chang’sheng continued casting spells. The Earth Spirit Vein shrank in a flash, becoming only thirty feet long before he stored it away in his Storage Bag.

As soon as Lin Chang’sheng put away the Earth Spirit Vein, the spiritual energy in the cave’s belly plummeted!

At this moment—

What Lin Chang’sheng didn’t notice was, because he’d used all his magical power to form his Golden Core, his appearance had reverted to his original look—Lin Chang’sheng—not Wei Wuji!

......

"What’s going on? Why did the Spirit Marrow Pool’s aura suddenly drop?"

"Why is the ground shaking? What happened?"

"Not good! Someone broke the ancient and mysterious grand array here and is doing something to the Spirit Vein underground! How is this even possible?"

"......."

Just as Lin Chang’sheng put away the Upper Grade Earth Spirit Vein, all the cultivators above at the Spirit Marrow Pool shot to their feet, faces changing drastically, talking all at once!

Some with worse tempers started cursing outright.

They discovered that the once-dense Spirit Marrow Pool had instantly dried up, the spirit marrow flowing underground and disappearing without a trace!

The area around the Spirit Marrow Pool was now utterly devoid of spiritual energy!

Meanwhile—

A young figure shot out from underground to the sky!

Stones exploded everywhere!

"The Spirit Marrow Pool’s gone—this guy must’ve taken the ancient Spirit Vein from the grand array below!"

"Stop him! This bastard pulled the Spirit Vein from the array—that’s too much!"

"Wait, isn’t that...isn’t that Lin Chang’sheng, the cultivator who was wanted everywhere across the Southern Realm years ago? I remember, he seized eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi!"

"Lin Chang’sheng’s infamous for his masterful disguise technique!"

"........"

As Lin Chang’sheng shot into the sky, all the cultivators present stared at him, shock and disbelief in their eyes.

In this moment—

Lin Chang’sheng became the focus of over a thousand cultivators!

All eyes on him!

"It’s Brother Lin!!"

In the crowd, Gao Ziyue looked up at the handsome figure in the sky, her beautiful eyes filled with both joy and deep worry.

"It’s really him!"

"He made it into the Golden Core Area too!"

Not far from Gao Ziyue, Yu Lingfei, dressed in white, was visibly shaken.

She was well aware—

The Lin Chang’sheng before her was also Long Ping’an, and also Alchemist Zhang Han!

"That kid? He’s actually reached the Golden Core Stage! That was quick!"

In the crowd, a short-bearded middle-aged man tightened his belt, a look of mild surprise on his face.

It was none other than Cao De.

"Uhh... Damn, my disguise is blown!"

Floating in the air above the Spirit Marrow Pool, looking at the over a thousand dumbfounded cultivators nearby, Lin Chang’sheng suddenly realized that advancing to Golden Core had forced him to use all his magical power, causing his appearance to revert to his original self. Too lazy to bother with the crowd, he flashed toward the Heaven-Devouring Worms.

Right now, his best move was to take the Heaven-Devouring Worms and get out fast!

Bang!

Lin Chang’sheng unleashed "Close At Hand," his body flickering, appearing beside the hundred thousand Heaven-Devouring Worms. With Golden Core Stage cultivation, his instant-teleportation divine power was even smoother and more effortless!

"Leave the goods behind, old man!"

"Where do you think you’re going?!"

"Daoist Lin! You stole the underground Spirit Vein, and you just want to stroll away?"

"....."

Seeing Lin Chang’sheng emerge from the ground, more than ten Golden Core Peak cultivators rushed over, completely surrounding him!

"You all sure you want to keep me here?"

Lin Chang’sheng stared at the group of Golden Core Peak cultivators—the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Stage swept out with a boom, forcefully crashing down on the dozen-odd Golden Core Peak experts!

"The Heaven-Devouring Worms! This..."

"Nascent Soul senior’s Divine Sense! This is..."

"So it’s a Nascent Soul senior! This junior was being reckless!"

"......"

Feeling Lin Chang’sheng’s Nascent Soul-level Divine Sense crashing down, the dozen-odd Golden Core Peak cultivators all turned pale with horror and instantly retreated a hundred meters!

Lin Chang’sheng’s overwhelming Divine Sense at Nascent Soul Stage bulldozed anything in its path!

In that moment, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators present had their magical power roiling, turning pale as they collapsed to the ground!

The Golden Core Stage cultivators wobbled, their expressions ugly as hell!

But the likes of Gao Ziyue, Yu Lingfei, Fu Qingyu, Zhuo Yijian, Cao De, Li Jiantang, and Ji Ruyan were completely unaffected.

"Hmph!"

Lin Chang’sheng snorted coldly, waved his hand, and instantly, the hundred thousand Heaven-Devouring Worms appeared at his feet, dark as a mass of storm clouds.

Lin Chang’sheng mounted the Heaven-Devouring Worms and shot into the sky at once!

"What terrifying pressure! It felt like a huge mountain slammed down—my mind just went blank! Too scary!"

"Lin Chang’sheng actually reached the Nascent Soul Stage? How did he advance that fast?"

"Liuyun Immortal Sect’s Lin Chang’sheng, Alchemist Zhang Han, loose cultivator Wei Wuji, loose cultivator Long Ping’an—who the heck is he really?"

"This guy is way too mysterious! Eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi, Jade Spirit Marrow, Void Hall’s Foundation Establishment Area treasure chest, this Spirit Vein—he’s taken all of them... Don’t tell me, he was already at Nascent Soul Stage all along?"

"That’s very possible! Otherwise, how could someone go from Qi Refinement to Nascent Soul in just a few years?"

"Exactly—even the fastest in Liuyun Immortal Sect, Su Changkong, needed over a hundred years to reach Nascent Soul back in the day!"

"......."

Seeing Lin Chang’sheng leave, all the cultivators present were left utterly shocked, whispering among themselves.

"Brother Lin is at the Nascent Soul Stage? His breakthrough is just way too fast!"

Gao Ziyue stood next to Ji Ruyan, her beautiful eyes filled with deep shock.

"That really is Lin Chang’sheng! But it’s strange, he’s only showing Golden Core Early Stage cultivation, but the Divine Sense pressure... it’s absolutely Nascent Soul Stage!"

Ji Ruyan and Li Jiantang exchanged a glance, deep shock showing in both their eyes.
