Chapter 294 - 236: Refinement of Cyan Ball Spiritual Energy, Southern Realm Crisis

"What’s this?"

This change caught even Lin Chang’sheng off guard.

Strands of cyan orbs seeped into his body, instantly forging countless threads between him and the entire Storm Array.

At the same time, he felt an enormous surge of Spiritual Energy Essence pouring into him.

"So these cyan balls were swallowed by the Storm Array and hidden within it, only to be granted to those who gain enlightenment in the Array!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself.

This was no small windfall.

With this Spiritual Energy Essence, Lin Chang’sheng could break through to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.

When he meets Su Changkong again, there will be nothing to fear.

"Die for me!"

Su Changkong watched Lin Chang’sheng step onto the Teleportation Stone Platform and instantly roared with rage, slashing his sword out.

A wild and vicious Sword Aura shot straight at Lin Chang’sheng.

But just as the Sword Aura was about to strike Lin Chang’sheng, a cluster of white light enveloped him.

The next instant, he vanished from the spot.

"Damn it! He got away again?"

Zhao Fuhu saw Lin Chang’sheng escape and immediately felt annoyed.

He’d thought Lin Chang’sheng surely dead, never expecting him to slip away time and again.

Now Lin Chang’sheng was already this strong—if he keeps silently growing, who knows how terrifying he’ll become in the future.

"Unbelievable!"

Su Changkong was equally displeased. He rushed to the platform and left the place through the Teleportation Array.

But as soon as he teleported out of the Sea God Tower, Lin Chang’sheng’s presence was nowhere to be seen.

He even scoured three thousand li with his Divine Sense, but didn’t find a thing.

"Count yourself lucky you can run fast!"

Su Changkong flicked his sleeve and cursed with rage.

Still, Lin Chang’sheng had run, but the Four Great Sects of the Southern Realm couldn’t just up and leave.

There’s no way the entire Sects will move out of the Southern Realm—it’d be much easier to find them.

And if they don’t submit then, they’re dead, plain and simple.

"Sect Leader, that brat Lin Chang’sheng got away. How about we wipe out all the Demon Evil Sea forces first to keep them from claiming Sea God Tower’s treasure and also breaking through to the Hao Zhix bottleneck!"

Li Jiantang, battered and heavily wounded, reminded him.

If he hadn’t been so tough, he’d be a cold corpse by now.

Su Changkong found his words reasonable.

He’d just gained two lucky chances and already reached Hao Zhix; it was impossible to believe the Demon Dao crowd hadn’t gained anything.

Now, he had to strike before they could break through, suppress or enslave them for good.

So, Su Changkong tore through the sky toward where the Demon Evil Sea’s sects were gathered.

...

Five thousand li from there.

Lin Chang’sheng landed on a lone island, Xiaobai having used Space Transmission five times in a row to get him there safely.

After five consecutive uses of the Space Secret Technique, Xiaobai was clearly exhausted.

Lin Chang’sheng put him into the Spirit Beast Bag to recuperate.

"This should finally be safe!"

Lin Chang’sheng found a cave on the island and slipped right in.

He planned to refine the Cyan Ball Spiritual Energy he’d gained in the Storm Array here.

When he broke through to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, he’d no longer need to fear Su Changkong.

And it was time to grind a bit more Experience Points for the Demon Killing Storm Array.

That way, he could win the Sea God Tower.

This was a top-tier treasure, not something he could let fall into someone else’s hands.

"Seems this Demon Killing Storm Array isn’t just a formation. If you master it, you can actually control storms!"

Lin Chang’sheng could feel this Array was anything but ordinary.

[Detected Demon Killing Storm Array. Spend 20,000 Spirit Stones to simplify it?]

Lin Chang’sheng glanced at the prompt on his panel and immediately selected ’Confirm.’

Things had been far too hectic just now—he hadn’t had the chance to pick.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Demon Killing Storm Array... Simplifying... Simplified—Demon Killing Storm Array == Blow Wind!]

"Blow wind?"

Lin Chang’sheng was quite happy with the result.

He couldn’t use ’blow wind’ in a cave, but hey, he had a free maid!

Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand and summoned the Daughter of the Demon Emperor, Yun Chan.

"Master, are you alright?"

The moment Yun Chan appeared, her every concern was for Lin Chang’sheng.

She’d sensed him in brutal combat with others right when she was put into the Spirit Beast Space.

Seeing the care in Yun Chan’s gaze, Lin Chang’sheng felt a little moved.

"I’m fine, Xiaochan. Fan me a breeze, will you? I need to refine the spiritual energy in my body!"

Lin Chang’sheng said aloud.

Might as well use this free labor! If Xiaobai could turn human and wasn’t so weak, Lin Chang’sheng would’ve called him over too.

"Yes!"

Obedient as ever, Yun Chan nodded and started fanning Lin Chang’sheng from behind.

Demon Killing Storm Array Experience Points +1!

Demon Killing Storm Array Experience Points +1!

...

In the next instant, the Demon Killing Storm Array Experience Points began to rise quickly.

Lin Chang’sheng was very satisfied.

He didn’t let his mind wander anymore and started focusing solely on refining the Cyan Ball Spiritual Energy within himself.

With all this Spiritual Energy bolstering him, breaking through to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul was no longer a dream.

...

When the Sea God Tower emptied out, its opening time finally ended, and three days later it again sank beneath the sea.

As if nothing ever happened.

Those unable to break through—those who remained behind—either died inside the Sea God Tower or were hunted relentlessly by the Tower-Suppressing Celestial Demon.

Half an Hour after the Sea God Tower had submerged, an old man veiled in black robes arrived high above.

Gazing into the bottomless sea, his eyes revealed a complicated look.

"The kid’s aura ends here. Did he really perish in the Sea God Tower?"

Faint red flames flickered in the old man’s eyes, as if pondering a puzzle.

This kid had killed the current Sect Leader of Celestial Ghost Sect, and his talent was no less impressive. If he could seize the boy’s body, not only could he extend his life, he might break through to an even higher Realm.

"Impossible, his aura hasn’t faded—he must be nearby. Once I cast the Myriad Ghosts Tracking Technique, I’ll find his trail!"

With that, the black-robed elder began his spell.

Countless ghostly black souls poured from within him, blanketing an area ten li across, then sniffed for traces and drifted outward in search.

"So, he went that way!"

Soon enough, the black-robed elder traced the direction Lin Chang’sheng had gone, and gave chase.

....

Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.

The leaders of each Major Sect quickly used the Teleportation Golden Talisman from the Golden Talisman Sect to return home.

Yet the weight on their hearts never let up.

What they were about to face next might be worse than the Demon Evil Sea’s invasion of the Southern Realm.

Because Su Changkong wasn’t exactly known for his mercy. With him breaking through to Hao Zhix, the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm was in for pure disaster.

"Fellow Sect Leaders, once we return, we should all prepare in advance—Su Changkong definitely won’t spare us!"

Ling Yue gave a warning, her eyes full of concern.

Who knew if she worried more for the safety of the entire Southern Realm... or for Lin Chang’sheng.

"Jiaoyue Fairy is absolutely right! We must act quickly! I’ll take my leave for now!"

Wang Chonglou bid his goodbye and immediately set out for the Celestial Sword Sect.

Soon after, Fierce Sun Dao Venerable and Zhao Cheng also wasted no time, leading their elders and the top surviving disciples back to their Sects to make preparations.
