"Immortal, Immortal Master, we really donât know how to get out of here!"
One of the men from the Cloud Map Tribe replied.
Heâd thought this young man didnât have much cultivation, but now, seeing him summon Celestial Thunder, he realized the guy was way more powerful than he looked.
"Donât know? Then die for me!"
Zhao Fuhu threw out a punch, shrouded in the power of thunder, instantly killing more than twenty people right in front of him.
Only one scrawny man was left, scared out of his mind, peeing himself as he fell to the ground.
"Do you know how to get out of here?"
Zhao Fuhu asked.
"IâI donât know either, butâbut our tribe chief does! Some people got in here before, and I heard they left later!"
The guy was scared shitless by now, spilling everything he knew to Zhao Fuhu.
"Take me to your tribe. Have your chief come meet me!"
Zhao Fuhu barked. He didnât bother talking fairness with mortals like these.
The guy was terrified out of his wits by Zhao Fuhuâs brutality, so he immediately led him toward the Cloud Map Tribe.
When they got to the tribe, the chief Tu Mu personally received Zhao Fuhu.
Now, there was only one chief of the Cloud Map TribeâTu Mu. Zhang Nian and Shao Yicheng were both dead.
When Tu Mu heard Zhao Fuhu had killed some of their people, anger flared in his heart.
Naturally, he wasnât about to tell Zhao Fuhu the real way out. He just told him to enter the Flame Hill, saying the exit was inside.
He planned to let Zhao Fuhu fend for himself in there.
[Devouring Immortal Demon TechniqueâPerfection!]
While Zhao Fuhu was still searching for an exit in the Spirit-Seizing Land, Lin Changâsheng was drinking water and studying Immortal Techniques. In no time, heâd ground the Devouring Immortal Demon Technique all the way to perfection.
Heâd simplified the Devouring Immortal Demon Technique to the point that just drinking water would increase his proficiency, so perfecting it was a breeze.
[Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash: Entry Level!]
[Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step: Entry Level!]
[Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand: Entry Level!]
Not long after perfecting the Devouring Immortal Demon Technique, Lin Changâsheng worked the three Immortal Techniques he got from Su Changkongâs storage bag up to entry level as well.
This Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash must be a top Demon Technique Su Changkong picked up after wiping out the Celestial Ghost Sect. Too bad, being arrogant as hell, he never practiced it.
Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step probably came from the Corpse King Sectâ never thought itâd end up in Lin Changâshengâs hands.
As for the Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand, that was the Liuyun Immortal Sectâs top level palm martial art.
Too bad Su Changkong was obsessed with Sword Dao and barely cared to practice it, so he never got anywhere with it.
Lin Changâsheng, on the other hand, had that panel. Whether fists, palms, light body techniques, or body strengthening, he leveled up everything.
Every style of martial arts, Lin Changâsheng specialized to the extreme.
The only thing he might be lacking was leg techniques, but he didnât really like using those anyway. Otherwise, learning them was just a matter of minutes for him.
[Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash detected: Simplify for 6,000 Spirit Stones?]
[Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step detected: Simplify for 5,500 Spirit Stones?]
[Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand detected: Simplify for 6,000 Spirit Stones?]
The panel popped up its prompts right away.
"Yes!"
If thereâs one thing Lin Changâsheng didnât lack, it was Spirit Stonesâsimplification for all of them, obviously.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash == Swing blade, slay ghost soul!]
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step == Stomp corpse!]
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand == Pat head!]
"Swing blade, slay ghost soul? Stomp corpse? Pat head?"
Seeing these simplified results, Lin Changâsheng felt a little pervertedâbut also satisfied, since none of this was hard to do.
So first, Lin Changâsheng summoned the soul of Su Changkong.
The moment the guy appeared, he glared daggers at Lin Changâsheng, clearly pissed off.
"Lin Changâsheng, donât you get cocky! The moment you die, weâll be free!"
Su Changkong stubbornly barked. Looks like heâd made friends with the other souls in there. Now, he was their ring leader.
His cultivation was the greatest, after all.
From Su Changkongâs point of view, Lin Changâsheng couldnât live forever. The moment he died, the restriction in the Myriad Soul Banner would be lifted and theyâd be reborn.
But Lin Changâsheng wasnât afraid of these guys rebelling. As long as they were trapped in the Myriad Soul Banner, he could torture them however he liked.
If you donât submit for one day, Iâll torture you for ten. Donât submit for ten days, Iâll torture you for a hundred. Lin Changâsheng had all the time in the world.
Just like Qi Hui at the startânow isnât he behaving like a puppy?
Dogs wonât behave if you donât beat them; ghosts wonât behave if you donât teach them a lesson!
"Still dreaming of freedom?"
Lin Changâsheng sneered, waved a hand, and brought out Su Changkongâs corpse, stomping on it beneath his foot.
Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step experience +1!
Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step experience +1!
...
He could watch the experience bar for Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step shoot up constantly.
Su Changkongâs soul saw all this, shaking from head to toe in fury.
This bastard was literally humiliating a ghost!
He was already dead, yet Lin Changâsheng kept debasing his corpse?
"Youâyou fucking animalâ!"
Su Changkong could only curse furiously.
But what greeted him was a flash of razor-sharp blade aura.
Lin Changâsheng swung down, slicing Su Changkongâs soul clean in half.
Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash experience +1!
The experience for Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash shot upward right after that.
But hacking up just one ghost soul wasnât exactly efficient.
So, Lin Changâsheng summoned out the souls of Jiang Yuyan, Jiu Wushang, Nie Buping, and dozens more.
One slash and the Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash experience jumped up by dozens at a time.
Now, with his foot stomping Su Changkongâs corpse and his right hand swinging the blade at ghosts, he was grinding two Immortal Techniques at once.
"My left hand shouldnât be idle either!"
Glancing at his idle left hand, Lin Changâsheng summoned Yun Chan, made her squat next to him, and started patting her head.
Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand experience +1!
Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand experience +1!
...
Even the Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand was leveling up. Three birds, one stone.
"Lin Changâsheng, you animal! Youâll die a terrible death!"
Su Changkong kept getting shredded by Lin Changâshengâs blade aura, but still cursed him with all the fury he could muster.
Lin Changâsheng didnât care. Yelling at him wouldnât cost him any flesh. The real pain was being sliced and soul-slaughtered over and over again.
[Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step: Perfection!]
[Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand: Perfection!]
[Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash: Perfection!]
Three hours later, all three Immortal Techniques had been ground to perfection.
The summoned souls had lost all their defiance. Most of them were on their knees, begging for mercy.
Even Su Changkong looked crushed, darting his eyes away from Lin Changâsheng.
"Back inside! Iâll play with you all again later!"
Lin Changâsheng waved his hand and sent their souls all back into the Myriad Soul Banner.
Now that his three Immortal Techniques were perfected, it was time to fuse them.
He wasnât about to let those ghosts see his real secrets.
[Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash (Perfection) detected. Fuse with Overwhelming Sword Shadow?]
[Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step (Perfection) detected. Fuse with Celestial Dome Cloud-Catching Skill?]
[Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand (Perfection) detected. Fuse with Thousand Corpses Golden Buddha Seal?]
The fusion prompts popped up the moment all three were perfected.
"Fuse!"
Without hesitation, Lin Changâsheng chose to fuse them all.
[Myriad Ghosts Nether Slash (Perfection) and Overwhelming Sword Shadow (Perfection) fusing... Fusing... Fusion complete. Gained New Immortal Technique: Myriad Nether Heaven-breaking Slash!]
[Corpse Sea Heaven-Stepping Step (Perfection) and Celestial Dome Cloud-Catching Skill (Perfection) fusing... Fusing... Fusion complete. Gained New Immortal Technique: Heaven-Stepping Immortal-Tracking Step!]
[Thousand Flowing Cloud Buddha Hand (Perfection) and Thousand Corpses Golden Buddha Seal (Perfection) fusing... Fusing... Fusion complete. Gained New Immortal Technique: Three Thousand Divine Buddha Seals!]
"Myriad Nether Heaven-breaking Slash? Heaven-Stepping Immortal-Tracking Step? Three Thousand Divine Buddha Seals?"
Looking at the newly fused techniques, Lin Changâsheng was very satisfied.
Their power was definitely way beyond what they used to be.
[Myriad Nether Heaven-breaking Slash detected. Simplify for 10,000 Spirit Stones?]
[Heaven-Stepping Immortal-Tracking Step detected. Simplify for 9,000 Spirit Stones?]
[Three Thousand Divine Buddha Seals detected. Simplify for 9,500 Spirit Stones?]
No sooner had the fusions finished than the simplification prompts appeared again.
"Simplify!"
Lin Changâsheng clicked simplify yet again.
If it wasnât for all the Spirit Stones heâd been reaping, an average family really couldnât afford this system. Every simplification was tens of thousands of Spirit Stones burned.
Still, the gains were just as huge.
