"This guyâs seriously loadedânot much worse than the whole Giant Whale Gang!"
After checking Luo Haoâs Storage Bag, Lin Changâsheng couldnât help but be surprised.
Because inside Luo Haoâs Storage Bag, there were over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and many rare medicinal herbs.
Though there werenât any at the thousand-year level, there were quite a few Spirit Medicines around five hundred years old.
Next came the Magical Treasuresâ123 Lower Grade Treasures, 56 Middle Grade Treasures, and 5 Upper Grade Treasures.
If Lin Changâsheng hadnât personally taken this Storage Bag from Luo Hao, heâd have thought heâd uprooted an entire powerful force.
And besides these treasures, there were several Treasure Manuals inside as well.
One Saber Technique Treasure Manual in particular caught Lin Changâshengâs attention.
"Celestial Ghost Soul-Sundering Blade? Looks like this saber technique packs a punch! If I cultivate it to Perfection, I can even merge it with God Slaying Celestial Blade Technique!"
Lin Changâsheng thought to himself silently.
Although people in the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm were extremely hostile toward Demon Dao Cultivation Techniques,
Lin Changâsheng, on the other hand, wasnât so arrogant.
As long as there was a method that could enhance his own cultivation and power, heâd study it thoroughly.
After all, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, staying alive is the foundation of everything.
The Martial Arts of the Demon Evil Sea might be brutal, but theyâre incredibly effective.
They can dramatically boost a cultivatorâs combat strength.
Take, for example, the Myriad Soul Banner, Array of Myriad Spirits Devouring Souls, Corpse Refining Technique, and so onâthey all can massively amplify a cultivatorâs battle power.
The Celestial Ghost Soul-Sundering Blade was no exception.
When cultivated to Perfection, one could infuse souls into the blade itself. If you activate it when needed, it unleashes tremendous might.
The power has a lot to do with the strength of the souls injected into the blade.
The stronger the soul infused in the saber, the greater the destructive force.
"Just in time, Iâve still got quite a few Gold Core Late Stage souls inside the Myriad Soul Banner. No way Iâll let them go to wasteâthey should earn their keep!"
Lin Changâsheng mused idly.
Then he started to study the Celestial Ghost Soul Splitting Technique in depth.
Half an hour later.
[Celestial Ghost Soul Hunting Technique: Entry Level!]
After Lin Changâshengâs repeated study, the Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique had already reached the entry level.
[Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique detected. Would you like to spend 3,500 Spirit Stones to simplify it?]
"Yes!"
The moment the panel prompt appeared, Lin Changâsheng instantly chose yes without hesitation.
[Great Dao is Simple: Beginning simplification of Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique... Simplifying... Simplification complete: Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique â Beat the Ghost!]
"...Beat the Ghost?"
Seeing this simplification, a smirk curled on Lin Changâshengâs lips. Guess the folks from Profound Court and the others are in for bad luck.
He immediately started to punch and kick Profound Court, Lu Yunchang and the others.
Their miserable cries wouldnât stop under his blows.
Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique EXP +1!
Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique EXP +1!
...
With Lin Changâshengâs non-stop beatdown, the EXP for the Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique kept climbing higher and higher.
This whole ride was honestly pretty cheerfulâthe shipâs hold was echoing with waves of desperate screams.
Even Ao Chengfeng outside trembled with fear from what he heard.
...
Right now, on a pitch-black deserted islandâ
A lone figure sat cross-legged atop a reef.
Suddenly, a twitch flashed across his brow, and his eyes slowly opened wide.
"Lin Changâsheng actually left the Celestial Ghost Sect?"
Su Changkong was a bit startledâheâd thought Lin Changâsheng would be hiding out in the Celestial Ghost Sect for a while.
Never expected he wouldnât even stick around for long before leaving?
And the direction he left wasnât toward the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm, but deeper into the Demon Evil Sea!
That really gave Su Changkong a headache right then and there.
After all, heâd just fought a huge battle with Jiu Wushang, getting his Inner Mansion badly damagedâhis current power less than thirty percent of normal.
If he made a move now, he probably wouldnât have much of a shot at killing Lin Changâsheng.
After all, back when Lin Changâsheng was at Gold Core Middle Stage, he could already fight evenly with Celestial Concealment at Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.
Let alone now, with Lin Changâsheng having broken through to Gold Core Late Stage.
To be safe, Su Changkong decided to trail Lin Changâshengânot too close, not too far.
Heâd wait till heâd recovered seventy percent of his magical power, then kill Lin Changâsheng in one blow, snatch his opportunity, and help himself become a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
...
The Corpse King Sect was about ten thousand miles from the Celestial Ghost Sect.
It was even further from the coast, and way more dangerous.
Traveling there by ship would take at least five days.
If it was on land, Lin Changâsheng could fly there in a single day.
But out at sea, itâs better to save his magical power; who knows what dangers might pop upâif he runs out of juice at the wrong moment, heâd be finished.
These five days werenât wasted by Lin Changâsheng, though.
By the third day, heâd already maxed out the Myriad Ghosts Pulling Technique to Perfection.
On the fourth day, he boosted the Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique to Perfection as well.
[Detected: Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique (Perfection), God Slaying Celestial Blade Technique (Perfection). Would you like to merge them into a new Immortal Technique?]
When Lin Changâsheng took Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique to Perfection, a red prompt popped up from the panel.
Which was exactly what Lin Changâsheng was waiting for.
Sure enough, these two Immortal Techniques could be mergedâthey both centered around saber techniques, after all.
"Merge!"
Lin Changâsheng decisively chose yes.
[Celestial Ghost Soul-Splitting Technique (Perfection) + God Slaying Celestial Blade Technique (Perfection) merging... Merging... Merge complete. Acquired New Immortal Technique: Demon God Celestial Fury Slash!]
"Demon God Celestial Fury Slash?"
Seeing this Immortal Technique, Lin Changâsheng sensed its power was definitely not simple.
After all, it fused the full might of several fierce Immortal Techniques into a single attack.
"Wait, if I inject souls straight into my bladeâs body, maybe itâll be even more powerful?"
Lin Changâsheng mused silently. Then, he took the souls of Profound Court, Lu Yunchang, and the other Gold Core Late cultivators and injected them into his saber, curious to see the effect.
"They say that in even stronger Spirit Treasures, thereâll be Artifact Spirits within. Thatâs what makes Spirit Treasures so much more formidable! If I put souls inside, shouldnât it work the same?"
Lin Changâsheng pondered silently.
If it works, thatâd be amazing.
"Immortal Master, just one more day, and weâll reach the Corpse King Sect!"
Ao Chengfeng saw Lin Changâsheng come out, and before Lin Changâsheng could even ask, volunteered the information.
"Very good!"
Lin Changâsheng was quite satisfiedâhe tossed Ao Chengfeng an elixir.
Ao Chengfeng immediately swallowed it on the spot, head held high, thinking for sure his master had just handed him the antidote.
But in fact, it was just an ordinary pill.
Wooâwooâ
Just as Lin Changâsheng was preparing to test his saberâs power, a violent gale suddenly lashed across the sea.
The ship rocked wildly in the wind.
Even the ocean water itself was sucked up into the sky by the hurricane.
"A Demon...Demon Evil Storm! Run for your lives!"
One of the more experienced sailors instantly recognized this as a Demon Evil Stormâan unpredictable tempest that sometimes swept through the Demon Evil Sea without warning.
This kind of storm doesnât just let you spot it on the horizon so you can dodge; those are easy.
The ones that form out of nowhereâthose are the death traps; escapingâs next to impossible.
From the start to a full-blown storm, it takes only three breathsâ time.
The storm came in with terrifying force. The ship was instantly shredded to pieces by the violent winds.
Countless sailors, screaming, fell into the sea, where they were devoured by hordes of Sea Demons.
Luckily, Lin Changâsheng could stride through the air and avoided falling in.
"I-immortal Master? What do we do now?"
Ao Chengfeng, relying on his Gold Core Cultivation, wasnât torn apart by the storm, either.
But the winds were turning even fiercer.
There was simply no withstanding itâescape seemed impossible; sooner or later, theyâd be ripped to pieces by the hurricane.
"Just in time to try you out as target practice!"
Lin Changâsheng was completely unafraid. He pulled out the Spirit Treasure Godslaying Blade and swung it down with overwhelming force.
Where his blade aura landed before, it would morph into a hundred feet of Blade Aura, crushing everything in its path.
But this time, as Lin Changâsheng unleashed Demon God Celestial Fury Slash, the Blade Aura that formed actually morphed into a massive
black Demon God ghost image.
The Demon Godâs shadow was unimaginably hugeâover two hundred feet tallâholding the Celestial Vault Giant Blade, it hacked down toward the monstrous hurricane.
