Chapter 234: Studying the Grand Array, Waiting for Death?

"Is he really that generous?"

Lin Chang’sheng was still uneasy. Why would that mysterious old man teach him the method to seize the Sea God Tower?

Who wouldn’t want a treasure like this?

Even in the Burial Immortal Realm, it was among the top treasures.

"Hurry! They’re catching up!"

Ling Yue called out, the figures behind them getting closer with every breath.

At this moment, Lin Chang’sheng and the others had no choice but to race toward the center’s Storm Array.

The closer they got to the Storm Array, the fiercer the storms grew, even surpassing those on the outside.

Aaah—

A disciple at Golden Core Early Stage couldn’t withstand the force of the storm. He was torn into a mist of blood and died on the spot.

Looks like to survive the storm, at least Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivation was required.

But that made sense.

Just entering the Sea God Tower required Golden Core Early Stage Cultivation. If someone left still at Early Stage, it’d be a bit ridiculous.

So a restriction was set here. Only those who advanced their cultivation could leave.

Luckily, Yu Lingfei, Gao Ziyue, and the others had absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Pool, breaking through to Golden Core Middle Stage.

Only then could they resist storms like these.

"Consort Ling, Ziyue, stay close!"

Ji Ruyan reminded them.

If they couldn’t handle the force of the storm, she could use her magical power to help.

"Yes, Master!"

The two girls nodded. The savage gales whipped at their robes, making them flutter wildly.

Lin Chang’sheng looked away awkwardly as he noticed.

"Lin Chang’sheng, you can’t escape! Just accept your death!"

Far behind, Ding Changhai cursed as he pursued them.

He wasn’t a match for Lin Chang’sheng, but he had Su Changkong backing him up.

Now the Demon Evil Sea had suffered a heavy blow—not only had both major sect leaders fallen,

but the Southern Realm now faced two major threats.

One was Lin Chang’sheng, a genius among geniuses; the other was Su Changkong, a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

No matter which of these two fell, it would be good news for Demon Evil Sea.

So Ding Changhai was happy to see Lin Chang’sheng die in the Sea God Tower.

Otherwise, if he survived, one day Demon Evil Sea would be trampled under his feet.

Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t be bothered with him—a loser, nothing more.

If Su Changkong hadn’t arrived in time, these guys would all be dead by his hand.

Whooosh—whooosh—

The nearer they got to the eye of the storm, the more violent the wind became.

Even Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivators were staggering, battered and nearly blown away.

"Master—!"

Gao Ziyue cried out as her magical power failed to resist the wind, and bloody cuts appeared all over her body.

Ji Ruyan quickly pulled Gao Ziyue in front of her, wrapping her in Golden Core Late Stage magical energy and shielding her from the storm.

That took care of Ziyue, but Yu Lingfei wasn’t so lucky.

A bloody line slashed her cheek, and before she could steady herself, she was swept up by a gale!

Thankfully, Lin Chang’sheng reacted instantly and caught her in his arms with a flash.

He immediately shielded her with his Nascent Soul Magical Power.

Yu Lingfei’s face flushed as she felt Lin Chang’sheng’s warmth, and she quickly looked down.

"Th-thank you—"

She wanted to say more but couldn’t get the words out.

After one final, violent gale, Lin Chang’sheng and the group finally reached the storm’s center.

Surprisingly, the storm’s eye was calm and serene.

For a hundred miles in all directions, there was not a gust of wind—only massive walls of wind encircled the area.

These wind walls reached hundreds of miles high, isolating this zone completely.

At the center stood a massive stone platform—the Teleportation Platform that should lead them out of here.

From here, they could finally leave the Sea God Tower.

"Quick, get to the platform! Let’s get out of here!"

Wang Chonglou’s eyes lit up, relieved to see the teleportation platform at last.

The rest of the group also rushed toward the platform.

As long as they left, they could escape Su Changkong’s pursuit for now.

Yet Lin Chang’sheng hesitated—he still hadn’t comprehended the Demon Killing Storm Array.

If he couldn’t master the array, he’d never be able to gain the Sea God Tower in the future.

This was a priceless treasure.

If he could seize it, his cultivation would soar in the future, no doubt.

"You’re not leaving?"

Yu Lingfei looked at Lin Chang’sheng in shock. With the teleportation array right in front of them, he stopped?

Didn’t he want to get out?

"You guys go first. I still have unfinished business."

Lin Chang’sheng said simply, starting to study the grand array.

All he needed was to get the array to entry level—then he could use his panel to simplify it, perfecting it instantly.

But even reaching entry level would take time.

At best, he’d need half a stick of incense; at worst, up to a quarter hour.

"Are you crazy? Su Changkong is almost here! If we don’t go now, it’ll be too late!"

Yu Lingfei was anxious—the platform was right there, but Lin Chang’sheng wouldn’t leave?

Wasn’t he afraid Su Changkong would show up, and then it’d be too late?

"Don’t worry. I’ve got this. You all go first!"

Lin Chang’sheng urged them.

He could still stall Su Changkong a while on his own; having everyone there would just distract him.

"If you’re not leaving, neither am I!"

Yu Lingfei insisted stubbornly.

If Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t rescued her, she would have died in the Storm Array.

This caught Lin Chang’sheng a bit off guard.

"Yu Lingfei, don’t tell me you have a thing for me?"

Lin Chang’sheng teased her half-jokingly.

"Who likes you? If you hadn’t saved me, why would I—"

Yu Lingfei denied it.

But before she could finish, Lin Chang’sheng slapped her straight out of the way.

"Elder Ji, take her and go!"

Lin Chang’sheng ordered.

Ji Ruyan caught Yu Lingfei and dragged her into the teleportation array.

"Go! Trust that he has a plan!"

Ling Yue believed that Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t some reckless fool—he must have his reasons.

Besides, if Lin Chang’sheng died, all the pressure of the Southern Realm would fall on them.

They couldn’t afford any more mistakes now.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

From afar, Su Changkong’s shout rang out, but by the time he reached the storm’s center, Ling Yue and the others had already left through the teleportation array.

In the vast empty space, Lin Chang’sheng was left alone, staring stupidly at the grand array.

Su Changkong didn’t believe Lin Chang’sheng stayed just to get killed.

But for a moment, even he couldn’t guess what the hell this guy was up to.

"Sect Leader Su, if I wanted to join Liuyun Immortal Sect now, would you still offer me a spot?"

Lin Chang’sheng tried to buy time.

If he could just stall for a stick of incense, he’d probably reach entry level in the array.

Su Changkong was caught off guard by Lin Chang’sheng’s words.

But now that he’d already broken through to Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, he didn’t need this ticking time bomb around anymore.

If Lin Chang’sheng regretted things later and surpassed him in power, what could he do then?

"Now you want to join Liuyun Immortal Sect? Too late! Death is the only thing waiting for you!"

Su Changkong sneered. He had no intention of letting Lin Chang’sheng live.

His hand surged with magical power, gathering for one fatal blow.
