After all, rushing back to the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm from the Beimu Immortal Race, even with the Flying Shuttle, would take more than ten days.
"Alright!"
Yu Wenjing nodded in agreement.
Sheâd been away from Great Yu for a long time now, and hoped that everything was still well back home.
Right after, Lin Changâsheng took down the Grand Array and stored both the underground Spirit Vein and the Myriad Soul Banner into his Storage Bag.
Mobilizing his magical power, he summoned a Flying Shuttle. Lin Changâsheng and Yu Wenjing leaped aboard, and the shuttle tore through the sky at high speed, vanishing beyond the horizon.
Lin Changâsheng didnât leave immediately. First, he headed over to the nearby fallen corpse puppet of the Nascent Soul Great Cultivator and put it away before departing.
Though this corpse puppet was destroyed by Bi Xiâs single strike, Lin Changâsheng knew the Corpse Refining Technique, so revival was no problem.
Nescent Soul Great Cultivator corpse puppets were a rare find.
If he could collect enough of them, he might even be able to fuse them into an even stronger corpse puppet.
On the road back to the Southern Realm, Lin Changâsheng could only lament that he had just two handsâotherwise, he could farm experience points for all four Immortal Techniques at once.
At present, Lin Changâsheng could only swing a sword in one hand and punch with the other.
First, he started grinding experience for the Myriad Swords Heaven Opening Technique and the Blazing Wind God Fist.
Myriad Swords Heaven Opening Technique experience +1!
Blazing Wind God Fist experience +1!
...
The experience points for both techniques kept increasing.
Although Yu Wenjing found all this a bit odd, she didnât press for detailsâafter all, Lin Changâsheng was an Immortal Master, and it was normal for his cultivation practices to differ from hers.
Half a day later, both Immortal Techniques reached Perfection.
[Detected that Myriad Swords Heaven Opening Technique is perfected. Would you like to fuse it with Demon God Celestial Fury Slash?]
[Detected that Blazing Wind God Fist is perfected. Would you like to fuse it with Dragon God World Destruction Fist?]
The next instant, the screen popped up with options.
[Yes!]
Lin Changâsheng instantly hit confirm.
[Detected: Myriad Swords Heaven Opening Technique (perfected), Demon God Celestial Fury Slash (perfected), fusion beginning... fusing... fusion complete. Acquired New Immortal Technique: Myriad Demon World Destruction Slash!]
[Detected: Blazing Wind God Fist (perfected), Dragon God World Destruction Fist (perfected), fusion beginning... fusing... fusion complete. Acquired New Immortal Technique: Flaming Dragon Heaven-Shaking Fist!]
"Myriad Demon World Destruction Slash? Flaming Dragon Heaven-Shaking Fist?"
With two major techniques fused, Lin Changâsheng was pretty satisfied.
Each fusion made the original technique even more overpowering.
Now, with the strength of a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator plus enhanced Immortal Techniques, the power Lin Changâsheng could unleash was absolutely monstrous.
[Detected: Myriad Demon World Destruction Slash. Spend 6500 Spirit Stones to simplify?]
[Detected: Flaming Dragon Heaven-Shaking Fist. Spend 6000 Spirit Stones to simplify?]
The prompts kept coming up.
The stronger the Immortal Technique, the more Spirit Stones it would consume.
Lin Changâsheng would never complain about burning up Spirit Stonesâheâd love nothing more than to spend a hundred thousand in one go.
"Yes!"
So, Lin Changâsheng chose simplification without hesitation.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplification of Myriad Demon World Destruction Slash beginning... simplifying... complete. Myriad Demon World Destruction Slash == Swinging Saber!]
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplification of Flaming Dragon Heaven-Shaking Fist beginning... simplifying... complete. Flaming Dragon Heaven-Shaking Fist == Throw Punch!]
"Swinging Saber? Throw Punch?"
This simplification is hilariously user-friendly.
Another half a day later, Lin Changâsheng ground both newly fused Immortal Techniques up to Perfection.
Soon after, a thick forest came into view up ahead.
Seeing no one around, Lin Changâsheng decided to test the power of those two fused Immortal Techniques.
First up, Lin Changâsheng unleashed the Flaming Dragon Heaven-Shaking Fist.
Magical power surged to his right hand, and he hurled out a punch!
In an instant, Lin Changâshengâs right hand was wrapped in blazing flame.
"Go!"
ROARâ
Lin Changâsheng punched out; a torrent of wild fire shot forth, transforming midair into a flaming dragon.
The dragonâs roar boomed so loud it shook the heavensâas if the Dragon God himself had descended, its aura overwhelming.
BOOM BOOM BOOMâ
The blazing dragon fist aura smashed into the distant mountains, as if a meteor crashed. All living things within five miles were utterly obliterated.
The ground caved in, the sky trembled; the power was off the charts.
"Not bad!"
Lin Changâsheng was pretty pleased with the punchâs destructive force.
Next, he summoned a Spirit Treasure to unleash Myriad Demon World Destruction Slash.
Lin Changâsheng poured magical power to its limit, then swung his saber.
Wooo wooo woooâ
As the blade aura erupted, countless souls began shrieking in agony; in moments, the area seemed to turn into purgatory, filled with wails and cries of tortured ghosts.
Tens of thousands of blade-wielding souls surged forth, their overwhelming aura shaking the very soul.
On closer look, those countless souls were assaulting as one. Viewed from a thousand feet out, their formation actually formed a giant long saber across the sky, poised to tear the heavens apart.
The sheer might of it sent the usually bold Yu Wenjing shrinking back in terror.
Luckily, the horrific spectacle didnât last longâthe soul-forged blade aura smashed down into the ground.
BANG BANG BANGâ
Mighty blasts echoed, shaking the earth to its core.
When all was said and done, a massive chasm, a thousand feet wide, had opened upâlike a Celestial God had split the land apart with a single strike.
The ravine seemed bottomless, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"Not badâway stronger than Demon God Celestial Fury Slash by a damn sight!"
Lin Changâsheng was more than satisfied with this moveâs destructive force.
Forget hundred-foot mountainsâthis slash would flatten any peak ten times that size without breaking a sweat.
"If I fuse the other two Immortal Techniques, I bet their power wonât be anything to sneeze at, either!"
Lin Changâsheng thought to himself, then started grinding Golden Body Thousand Brush Hand and Flying Pigeon Cloud-Catching Skill.
Thousand Brush Hand was Celestial Concealmentâs signature move, so its power was unquestionably formidable.
If he could refine this move to perfection and fuse it with Myriad Souls and Thousand Corpses Seal, the power would definitely multiply.
...
As Lin Changâsheng kept grinding proficiency and journeying aheadâ
Three thousand miles away, a red-robed man tracking Lin Changâshengâs trail arrived atop a great mountain.
"Heâs changed direction againâheading south now?"
The Demon Emperor was surprised, unsure what this guy was up to.
Heâd only stayed at the Beimu Immortal Race for less than two days, and now was headed again for the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm?
Was this guy just messing around?
"Or did he realize I was onto him, and is now planning to escape to the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm?"
The Demon Emperor was baffled.
But it didnât matter where Lin Changâsheng fledâheâd track him down regardless.
Because Lin Changâsheng carried his daughterâs aura, he could sense it from tens of thousands of miles away.
"Weâll see just how far you get!"
With that, the Demon Emperor flashed and vanished from sight.
...
Time flewâanother day passed.
And during that whole day, Lin Changâsheng didnât slack off; he kept grinding proficiency non-stop.
Once Golden Body Thousand Brush Hand reached Perfection and fused with Myriad Souls and Thousand Corpses Seal, it became Thousand Corpses Golden Buddha Seal.
Flying Pigeon Cloud-Catching Skill fused with The Ends of the Earth to form Celestial Vaulting Cloud-Grasping Step!
"Finally perfectedâletâs see what these two Immortal Techniques can do!"
After grinding the fused Immortal Techniques to Perfection, Lin Changâsheng wanted to see their effects.
He tried out Celestial Vaulting Cloud-Grasping Step first. His Cultivation Technique activated, and he shot forward like a thunderboltâblindingly fast.
One dash covered a thousand feet.
Even flying above, his speed didnât drop at all; in a blink he could cross a thousand feet.
This body technique would be great for chasing enemiesâor for getting the hell out of Dodge.
"Letâs see what Thousand Corpses Golden Buddha Seal can do?"
After experiencing the speed boost, Lin Changâsheng decided to test the Thousand Corpses Golden Buddha Sealâs destructive power.
He summoned magical power into his hand, then slapped his palm out.
Golden radiance flashed, transforming into a massive three-hundred-foot-wide palm print that pressed down on everything ahead.
Looking close, youâd see ten thousand corpses melded into that gigantic palmâalong with a bunch of snarling skulls; the sight was gruesome as hell.
Any normal person would be scared off before the fight even started.
Lin Changâsheng had previously fought Celestial Concealment before.
His Thousand Brush Hand packed a punch and had great coverageâbut each palm strike wasnât really lethal enough.
Now, Thousand Corpses Golden Buddha Seal merged a thousand palm strikes into one,
forming a colossal golden radiance palm print, with exponentially greater power.
BOOM BOOM BOOMâ
In no time, the palm smashed into distant mountain ranges, flattening a hundred-foot peak in seconds.
And the area covered by the palm was immenseâeverything within three hundred feet, trees and mountains, was wiped out.
It blasted out a wasteland of pure destruction.
"Nice!"
Watching the devastation his palm strike unleashed, Lin Changâsheng was more than satisfied.
This move would flatten any middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivatorâno way in hell could they take it head-on.
"Finally found you! Hand my daughter over, now!"
Just as Lin Changâsheng was thoroughly enjoying himselfâ
A manâs voice rang out from the sky above.
The next instant, a red-robed man blocked their Flying Shuttleâs path.
Lin Changâsheng instantly brought the Flying Shuttle to a halt.
Judging by his words, could this guy be Yun Chanâs father? The Demon Emperor of the Eastern Desolate Demon Race, Yun Tianhuang?
