Lin Changâsheng immediately fixed his gaze on the ring in his hand.
From the outside, this ring looked plain and simple, just an ordinary circular ring.
Only, there were some Brahma Divine Patterns on its surface, and Lin Changâsheng couldnât understand a single bit of them.
Lin Changâsheng sent his Divine Sense into it, and in the next instant, his whole body felt like he was being sucked into the space inside the ring.
He discovered that this was actually a vast, empty void.
All around him, countless Divine Patterns fluttered about; the patterns were so enigmatic that Lin Changâsheng couldnât get the slightest grasp on them.
"Thereâs a stele in the distance, maybe itâll have a way to decipher these Divine Patterns!"
In this endless void, Lin Changâsheng noticed a massive stele standing alone in the emptiness ahead.
He hurried over at once.
When he reached the stele, he found rows of inscriptions on it.
Lin Changâsheng could actually make out these words.
On the stele, it was engraved: "Tomb of So-and-so," followed by his life story.
"Lin Changqing? Looks like fate really brought us together!"
Lin Changâsheng couldnât help but sighâbecause the master of the tomb was actually someone called Lin Changqing.
He too was once from the Immortal Relic Land, and later ascended to the Immortal Realm after attaining enlightenment.
Sadly, not long after entering the Immortal Realm, he was severely injured during the brutal competition there, causing his realm to drop. His cultivation was stuck for a thousand years, and when his life was near its end, he returned once more to the Immortal Relic Land.
Heâd planned to spend his remaining years here, but by chance the Sea God Tower activated.
In the end, while vying for a fortuitous opportunity within the Sea God Tower, he was sneak-attacked by a companion from behind, and fell here.
Just before he died, he set up a Grand Array, waiting for a fated person to inherit his legacy.
"Senior, I canât make heads or tails of these Brahma Divine Patterns either. How do I inherit your legacy?"
Lin Changâsheng was baffled. He knew these Divine Patterns were definitely unusual, but he simply couldnât comprehend them.
"Could it be...?"
Suddenly, Lin Changâsheng thought of something elseâsince itâs a legacy, maybe itâs a bit like acknowledging a master.
Could it require three bows and nine kowtows?
Lin Changâsheng couldnât care less about these formalities, especially when itâs just a Divine Sense kneeling and bowing.
Whatever the case, Lin Changâsheng was willing to give it a try.
Buzzâ
Yet, with this single bow, the space around him underwent a huge change.
All the profound Divine Patterns floating in the air instantly shone with golden brilliance.
They then transformed into countless rays of gold, shooting straight into Lin Changâshengâs mind.
If an ordinary person had countless Divine Patterns pouring into their head, it would be splitting with pain.
But Lin Changâshengâs Divine Sense was overwhelming; he didnât react at all and kept absorbing the Divine Pattern imprints.
"Nine Dragons Heaven-Suppressing Technique? Itâs actually a set of Immortal Techniques?"
After absorbing the Divine Pattern imprints, Lin Changâsheng immediately grasped the essence within them.
These Divine Patterns were precisely a set of Immortal Techniques.
"Last time I got the Void Divine Hallâs Immortal Technique inheritance, it couldnât be simplified, so I was stuck. I wonder if this set can be simplified?"
Lin Changâsheng was pondering as he comprehended the technique.
But what happened next made Lin Changâsheng realize heâd been overthinking it.
Because this inheritance didnât just give him a superficial understandingâinstead, the otherâs thousand years of insights and experiences were all poured directly into Lin Changâsheng.
This meant, from this inheritance alone, Lin Changâsheng now possessed the Perfection Level Nine Dragons Heaven-Suppressing Technique.
"Hell yeah!"
Lin Changâsheng was utterly excited.
This inheritance was already at the Perfection Level! This Immortal Technique would hugely boost the speed at which he refined Spiritual Energy.
[Detected: Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force (Perfection), Myriad Treasures Pill Formation (Perfection), Nine Dragons Heaven-Suppressing Technique (Perfection). Spend 200,000 Spirit Stones to fuse them into a new Cultivation Technique?]
Just as Lin Changâsheng acquired the Perfection Level Nine Dragons Heaven-Suppressing Technique, his status panel popped up with a prompt.
Although Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force and Myriad Treasures Pill Formation werenât on the same tier as the Nine Dragons Heaven-Suppressing Technique, fusing them would still enhance the result.
So Lin Changâsheng decisively chose Yes.
Even if losing two hundred thousand Spirit Stones stung a little.
[Great Dao is Simple: Fusing Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force (Perfection), Myriad Treasures Pill Formation (Perfection), Nine Dragons Heaven-Suppressing Technique (Perfection)... Fusion in progress... Fusion complete! Gained new Immortal Technique: Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique!]
"Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique? Just from the name, you know itâs not ordinary!"
Lin Changâsheng was very satisfied.
[Detected the new Cultivation Technique: Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique. Spend 100,000 Spirit Stones to simplify it?]
Heâd just fused a new Immortal Technique, and the panel prompted him again.
Not sure if it was because this fused Immortal Technique could be simplified, or if its grade wasnât as high as the Void Immortal King Technique.
Surprisingly, it could be simplified.
Even though it would cost a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, Lin Changâsheng had made a fortune recently.
Just the Spirit Stones from the Magic Giant Whale Gang and Nie Buping were enough to pay for one fusion and one simplification.
So Lin Changâsheng chose Yes without hesitation.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplification of Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique begins... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique == Touch the Dragon Elephant!]
"Touch the Dragon Elephant?"
Of course, Lin Changâsheng couldnât actually find a real Dragon Elephant to touch.
After leaving the ringâs space, all he could do was write the words "Dragon Elephant" on his hand and hold them tight.
Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique experience points +1!
Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique experience points +1!
...
This move really was infallibleâhis experience points soared like crazy.
Then Lin Changâsheng alternated waving his hand and "touching the Dragon Elephant."
The proficiency of both Thousand Corpses Hand Seal and Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique skyrocketed.
In just one Hour, the two Techniques had reached Perfection.
"Itâs time to test their power!"
Lin Changâsheng revealed a sly grinâno telling which poor bastard heâd run into on this outing.
To the side, after Xiaobai finished absorbing the energy from two treasures, Lin Changâsheng stored him away in the Spirit Beast Bag.
Then he blasted open the stone door and rocketed into the sky.
"Did everyone go to the 11th floorâs space?"
After coming out, Lin Changâsheng found that the 10th floor space showed no trace of any activity.
But just as Lin Changâsheng reached the central stone platform, ready to teleport to the 11th floor,
he suddenly sensed a powerful rush of Magical Power.
"Someoneâs about to break through to Nascent Soul Great Cultivator?"
Lin Changâsheng frowned. If someone from the Demon Evil Sea broke through to Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, thatâd be bad news for Lin Changâsheng.
He instantly shot off in a streak of light toward the origin of that power surge.
Right now, three hundred miles from Lin Changâsheng, inside a caveâ
Jiu Wushang was breaking through to Hao Zhix.
Not long ago, he found an Immortal Grass in this cave. After consuming it, his Magical Power swelled like the ocean, and soon breakthrough signs appeared.
So he hadnât left with the other Major Sects for the 11th floor right away.
He was planning to break through to Hao Zhix here.
Unfortunately, he was discovered by Lin Changâsheng.
"Protect the Sect Leader!"
Huang Hua sensed a mighty aura slicing across the sky, headed straight for the Celestial Ghost Sect. She immediately warned everyone to stay alert.
Right now, the Celestial Ghost Sect was counting on Jiu Wushang to break through to Hao Zhix and regain their strength.
After all, the Celestial Ghost Sect had already lost too many powerhouses.
Even the Three Great EldersâHeaven, Earth, and Mysteryâhad all fallen, and even Tributor Luo Hao was dead.
Only Sect Leader Jiu Wushang having a breakthrough to Hao Zhix could make the Celestial Ghost Sect strong again.
