Chapter 427 - 337: Gu Family of the Immortal Realm, Force Field Realm, A Game of Epic Strategy

"Th-this is the Force Field Realm?"

Lin Chang’sheng was startled—this Force Field Realm was far more powerful than his own Primordial Power Realm.

The Primordial Power Realm was nothing more than suppression by divine sense, creating a zone of pressure.

But the Force Field Realm was completely different—it could amplify the field within a certain range.

It could crush boulders to powder, collapse the earth—with at least ten times the force field, maybe even more.

Lin Chang’sheng stared at the interconnected divine patterns and immediately started channeling them into his own body.

He linked them together according to their sequence.

Once all the divine patterns were connected, a powerful pressure erupted forth.

"Force Field Realm – Entry Level!"

The next instant, a notification popped up on his panel.

"Force Field Realm detected. Simplify it for 5000 Immortal Crystals?"

Another notification appeared on the panel right after.

But staring at the 5000 Immortal Crystals, Lin Chang’sheng fell into contemplation again.

He really lacked Immortal Crystals right now—so many immortal techniques weren’t even simplified to perfection yet.

Once he enters the Immortal Realm, the first thing he needs to do is find a way to get more Immortal Crystals.

That way, every immortal technique could be simplified to perfection.

"Chang’sheng!"

Just as Lin Chang’sheng made up his mind, Yan Zhen’s voice sounded at his ear.

Lin Chang’sheng withdrew his divine sense and opened his eyes. A group of disciples had already gathered outside.

They all looked at him eagerly—for the three days were up, and Lin Chang’sheng promised he could reopen the path to the Immortal Realm, didn’t he?

"Ahem ahem—"

Lin Chang’sheng coughed awkwardly and then slowly got to his feet.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting!"

He said with some embarrassment, then scanned the Void Divine Hall. He found that the Void Divine Hall had already absorbed enough spiritual energy—it could shatter the barrier and open the path to the Immortal Realm again.

Except Lin Chang’sheng had been lost in cultivation and didn’t notice in time.

"Brother Lin, can we finally ascend to the Immortal Realm now?"

Ziyue asked curiously. They had already been here long enough—outside, danger waited at every corner, swarming with powerful Demon Beasts. A single mistake could mean death.

It’s best to head for the Immortal Realm quickly and find a Giant Sect to rely on. That’s the top priority.

"Of course we can!"

Lin Chang’sheng stepped out of the wooden hut, looked at the sky shrouded in gloomy clouds and falling rain, and then summoned the Void Divine Hall right away.

He was ready to leave.

"Daoist Lin, please wait!"

Just as Lin Chang’sheng prepared to activate the Void Divine Hall, Gao Lin arrived with his clansmen.

"Clan Leader Gao!"

Lin Chang’sheng greeted him politely.

"Daoist Lin, are you leaving?"

Gao Lin saw Lin Chang’sheng’s intention and immediately asked.

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t hide it and replied honestly, "That’s right. We’ve already stayed in the Demon God Tribe too long. Best not to linger."

"I have a presumptuous request—may Daoist Lin accept it?"

Gao Lin said.

"Go ahead, Clan Leader Gao—no need to be formal."

If it was something he could do, Lin Chang’sheng wouldn’t refuse.

After all, the Demon God Tribe had indeed sheltered them these past days—even if there’d been some unpleasant episodes along the way.

"Could you take the people of the Demon God Tribe with you when you leave?"

Gao Lin finally voiced what was on his mind. The Land of Evil wasn’t fit for the Human Race to survive—leaving would be best.

But hearing this, Lin Chang’sheng felt troubled.

The more people to teleport, the more spiritual energy was required. He had only refined the fourth layer of restriction on the Void Divine Hall—it wasn’t enough to teleport thousands.

"I’m afraid that’s difficult."

Lin Chang’sheng was at a loss.

Hearing that, Gao Lin looked disappointed, but it was understandable.

After all, Lin Chang’sheng was merely at the Divinity Transformation Stage—already a prodigy to open a barrier to the Immortal Realm with a treasure.

If he could take thousands along, that’d be defying the heavens.

"How about just one more person?"

Gao Lin looked hopefully at Lin Chang’sheng, then brought forth Zhao Shuang’Er.

Zhao Shuang’Er had great talent—if she stayed in the Demon God Tribe, that talent would be wasted forever.

If she made it to the Immortal Realm, her future would be limitless.

Today, Zhao Shuang’Er had especially cleaned up; her skin was fair and clear, her features delicate.

But life here was harsh, and she was a little thin from malnutrition.

As for taking one more person, Lin Chang’sheng did not refuse.

But on the side, Yu Lingfei and Ziyue were a little upset, worried yet another rival would appear.

Don’t be fooled by Zhao Shuang’Er’s thinness—her cultivation was higher than either of theirs.

"Is everyone here?"

Lin Chang’sheng glanced around at the gathered disciples and asked the Wine Sword Immortal.

"Everyone’s here!"

The Wine Sword Immortal replied—even he didn’t want to stay here one moment longer.

Lin Chang’sheng nodded, started up the Void Divine Hall, and prepared to open the path to the Immortal Realm.

Buzz—

The Void Divine Hall activated, erupting with a powerful wave of spiritual force.

But this time, the Void Divine Hall didn’t follow Lin Chang’sheng’s command and open the barrier here directly.

Instead, it ignored his control, hovering in the air, radiating waves of spiritual energy that spread in all directions.

"What the..."

Seeing this, Lin Chang’sheng was caught off guard—his Spirit Treasure wasn’t listening?

What was going on here?

"Sword Elder, what’s happening?"

Lin Chang’sheng immediately asked Sword Elder. The old man had seen much—he should know what’s happening.

"When an Immortal Treasure is out of control, there are only two possibilities. One: the master hasn’t earned the treasure’s recognition. Two: the previous owner’s connection to the treasure isn’t fully severed and it’s under their control. Which do you think is more likely?"

Sword Elder laid out both possibilities. Hearing this, Lin Chang’sheng’s expression changed.

"Could it be... he’s not dead?"

Lin Chang’sheng suddenly thought of how, in the Void Divine Hall, when he’d met the Void Immortal King, the guy had given him the treasure with no reason at all.

Lin Chang’sheng had already suspected the guy’s motives weren’t pure—it couldn’t be that simple.

Never thought the guy had set up a huge scheme, waiting for him to step into the trap.

So, the path to the Immortal Realm—maybe encountering the Void Beast was no accident, but all planned by the Void Immortal King.

The goal was for Lin Chang’sheng to perish, so the king could seize his body.

"This guy sure hid deep enough!"

Even Lin Chang’sheng had to admit the Void Immortal King’s shrewdness.

And Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t wrong. The remnants of the Void Immortal King’s will had always lingered within the Void Divine Hall, so Lin Chang’sheng never knew it.

Screee—

Kra-kow—

In the distant sky, an eagle’s cry rang out, accompanied by peals of thunder.

It must be the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle—sensing the spiritual energy from the Void Divine Hall and speeding this way.

Rumble—

At the same time, the ground was shaking violently—clearly, many powerful Demon Beasts were coming this way.

And now, with the Void Divine Hall unable to open the path to the Immortal Realm, everyone was thrown into peril.

"Wh-what’s happening? The Void Divine Hall can’t open the way to the Immortal Realm? What do we do?"

"We’re done for—all those Demon Beasts coming for us, we’re dead for sure!"

"Quit being so negative—Brother Lin will think of something!"

"What else could he do? Maybe he’ll escape himself, but we’re probably dead meat!"

...

Panic immediately swept through the disciples.

The only hope they had—the Void Divine Hall—was now useless. Maybe they’d never escape this place in their lifetime.

Buzz—

In the next instant, the Void Divine Hall glowed, and a white phantom drifted out.

Seeing the phantom, Lin Chang’sheng’s brows knitted tight.

Because this phantom—it was none other than the Void Immortal King.

"So, you really aren’t dead!"

Lin Chang’sheng clenched his fists—this bastard was a master schemer.

All these years in silence and only now—when they ascended—did he make his move.

The Void Immortal King must have known—in the Immortal Relic Land, nobody could threaten Lin Chang’sheng’s life.

But here, it was different—powerful Demon Beasts were coming. Any one would be enough to kill Lin Chang’sheng—and he could seize the body at the perfect time.

"Lin Chang’sheng, you have my sincere thanks. You’ve raised your body’s cultivation to this level. Once I take over, I’ll save myself centuries of suffering!"

The Void Immortal King laughed, already seeing Lin Chang’sheng as dead.

Once Lin Chang’sheng died, he could use his body to live anew.

Flawless Divinity Transformation—not even the king could manage that.

And yet, Lin Chang’sheng had paved the way for him, step by step.
