Chapter 251 - 197: Setting Sail, Giant Sea Monster

Although Lin Chang’sheng can hold his own against Middle Stage Nascent Soul experts, killing one is still no easy feat.

So there’s no need to take that risk and fight Su Changkong right now.

Once he has absolute confidence, even if Su Changkong doesn’t come looking for him, Lin Chang’sheng will personally ascend the Liuyun Immortal Sect and seek him out.

With his life on the line this time, Ao Chengfeng’s work efficiency shot up dramatically.

In less than an hour, the big ship was fully prepared.

He also recruited thirty seasoned crew members to join the sea expedition.

"Let’s go!"

With a wave of Lin Chang’sheng’s arm, the big ship surged straight into the Demon Evil Sea.

Half an hour later, Su Changkong finally arrived, but Lin Chang’sheng had already vanished on the endless ocean.

"Went to Demon Evil Sea? That kid’s lost his mind, hasn’t he?"

Su Changkong was startled as he sensed Lin Chang’sheng had gone into Demon Evil Sea.

Demon Evil Sea is a place crawling with danger.

Not even counting the dormant demonic forces, just the Sea Demons and Demon Evil Storms are already huge threats.

One careless move, and you could easily die out there.

Even with his Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation, Su Changkong wouldn’t dare to mess around in Demon Evil Sea.

"Let’s see just how far you can run!"

Su Changkong seemed to make up his mind, gritted his teeth, and chased after him.

Lin Chang’sheng was his golden ticket to breaking through to Hao Zhix. If someone else snatched him first,

he would miss his chance.

Right now, there are plenty of Middle Stage Nascent Soul experts in the Immortal Relic Land, but no one has stepped into the Late Stage Great Cultivator realm yet.

If Su Changkong could break into the Late Stage Great Cultivator realm, no one in the entire Southern Realm would be a match for him.

At that point, he could unify the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.

On the ship, Lin Chang’sheng cast the Bone Transformation Technique, changing his appearance once more, becoming Luo Hao.

This way, it’s much harder to get recognized.

Although the Celestial Ghost Sect has a special place for Soul Tokens,

if an important person dies, they’ll sense it immediately.

But Nascent Soul experts are different: as long as the Nascent Soul remains intact, the Soul Token won’t shatter.

Because if the Nascent Soul survives, a Nascent Soul expert has a chance of resurrection.

So right now, Luo Hao’s Soul Token hasn’t shattered.

"Immortal... Immortal Master, you..."

Ao Chengfeng saw the person exiting the room and was so shocked he nearly dropped his jaw.

Wasn’t that Luo Hao, who just got killed by Lin Chang’sheng?

Did he come back to life?

No, this is just what Lin Chang’sheng looks like after using the Disguise Technique!

"No need to make a fuss. Lin Chang’sheng has already been killed by me!"

Lin Chang’sheng spoke, his tone and voice exactly matching Luo Hao’s.

This left Ao Chengfeng so confused for a moment he honestly couldn’t tell who this was anymore.

Ao Chengfeng didn’t dare say much, and could only steer the ship closer toward the Celestial Ghost Sect.

Celestial Ghost Sect is the closest to the Southern Realm—just over two thousand miles away. They’ll get there soon.

However, the journey isn’t so easy.

Whoo, whoo, whoo—

Suddenly, storms exploded over the distant sea, raising waves more than ten meters high, crashing straight toward Lin Chang’sheng’s ship.

"Demon Evil Storm?"

Lin Chang’sheng narrowed his eyes, spotting ten miles ahead, crackling lightning and swirling clouds.

"No, that’s not it. We must’ve run into a Level 8 Sea Demon!"

Ao Chengfeng’s heart lurched.

He’s run to and from the Celestial Ghost Sect plenty of times and never met a Level 8 Sea Demon. But they’d just set sail and already hit this run of horrible luck.

This Level 8 Sea Demon is as powerful as a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator.

Especially in water, where it’s in its element—its strength explodes far beyond its usual limits.

Normally, even Golden Core Late Stage cultivators would just turn and flee.

Usually these powerhouse Sea Demons stick to the deep ocean, but now one’s shown up on the shallows!

"It’s just a Level 8 Sea Demon. What are you panicking for?"

Lin Chang’sheng snapped.

This ship absolutely can’t get sunk by a Sea Demon—he’s got more destinations than just Celestial Ghost Sect.

Once he gets the Myriad Ghosts Pulling Technique at Celestial Ghost Sect, he still has to head for Corpse King Sect and collect other Secret Techniques.

If the ship gets sunk, traveling is going to be a huge pain.

Lin Chang’sheng pulled out his Spirit Treasure, and as the wave was about to slam into the ship, unleashed a fierce slash.

Ka-boom—

The mighty Hundred Feet Blade Aura collided with the wave, roaring as it sliced the water neatly in two.

The wave that should’ve hammered the ship instead split and passed right by.

After cleaving the wave, Lin Chang’sheng spotted a shadow lurking in the sea, darting back and forth.

If his guess was right, this Sea Demon stirred up those massive breakers, trying to swallow them whole.

But with the seawater in the way, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t dare jump in recklessly to kill the Sea Demon.

Who knows what other tricks the Sea Demon might have?

If you get careless, you might be the one who gets wiped out.

"Keep moving!"

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t plan to tangle with this Sea Demon—making time was more important.

If Su Changkong caught up, things would get way more complicated.

But even though Lin Chang’sheng wanted out, the Sea Demon in the water clearly wasn’t giving up.

It kept circling near the ship, refusing to leave.

Splash—

A moment later, the Sea Demon blasted another jet of water, shooting it right at the ship.

If that hit, the ship would go down for sure.

"You have no idea who you’re messing with!"

Lin Chang’sheng finally started getting angry.

He wanted to let it go, but this Sea Demon just kept pushing his luck.

Fine, then—time to kill it.

Lin Chang’sheng unleashed his Peak Middle Stage Nascent Soul Divine Sense, spreading it out wide.

The Sea Demon’s cultivation plummeted under the pressure.

Bam—

The watery blast got sliced apart again by another swing of Lin Chang’sheng’s blade.

ROAR—

Lin Chang’sheng activated his Dragon God Golden Body Saint Body—the cry of a dragon echoed to the skies.

With the boost from the Dragon God Golden Body, Lin Chang’sheng’s physical body rose to the Peak of Early Stage Nascent Soul.

Then he dove into the ocean, preparing to finish off the Sea Demon.

This Sea Demon was smart too. Sensing Lin Chang’sheng’s overwhelming cultivation,

it bolted without a second thought.

Which left Lin Chang’sheng a little stumped.

So Demon Beasts are this clever now?

Anyway, with the Sea Demon gone, the voyage was smooth sailing again.

They did run into two Demon Evil Storms, but made it through in one piece.

Soon enough,

a giant skull-shaped island appeared in Lin Chang’sheng’s view.

"Immortal Master, this is the place—the Celestial Ghost Sect!"

Ao Chengfeng said respectfully.

He didn’t dare hold anything back now.

"Swallow this!"

Lin Chang’sheng pulled a pill from his Storage Bag and handed it to Ao Chengfeng.

Ao Chengfeng didn’t dare refuse.

He tipped his head back and swallowed it whole.

"This is a Bone Transformation Pill. If you don’t get the antidote within three days, your flesh will rot away, and all that’ll be left is a pile of White Bone! Wait here for me—when I come out, I’ll give you the antidote!"

Lin Chang’sheng tossed out those words and flew off toward Celestial Ghost Sect.

"Yes! Immortal Master, please don’t forget when to come back!"

Ao Chengfeng had no choice but to agree.

He could only hope Lin Chang’sheng would return within three days.

If not, he was a dead man.

What Ao Chengfeng didn’t know was, the pill wasn’t even poison.

It was just an ordinary pill.
