Lin Changâsheng only felt wave after wave of information madly pouring into his mind.
This information was none other than the cultivation technique and swordsmanship of the Supreme Sword Sect.
The heart method wasnât too complex, but the swordsmanship was quite intricate.
The swordsmanship was divided into seven moves in total.
Each move possessed incredible destructive power.
When you mastered the seventh move, you could command the might of heaven and earth itself, unleashing an overwhelmingly powerful sword qi attack.
[Supreme Sword Technique Heart Method Introduction!]
[Supreme Swordsmanship Introduction!]
It took about the time of an incense stick for Lin Changâsheng to finally absorb and comprehend both the cultivation technique and swordsmanship up to the entry level.
"Not bad. Achieving entry level in just one incense stickâs timeâreaching perfection in the future will be only a matter of time!"
The residual soul left Lin Changâshengâs Sea of Consciousness and reappeared in the firmament, seemingly quite satisfied with Lin Changâshengâs talent, with a satisfied smile on his face.
But at this moment, the residual soul had faded considerably compared to before, as if greatly exhausted.
Besides inheriting the two immortal techniques, Lin Changâsheng also felt his divine sense had greatly improved.
It was much broader and stronger than before.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Lin Changâsheng offered his thanks. Once the cultivation technique and swordsmanship reached perfection, he could fuse themâhis strength would increase tremendously.
"Youâre still calling me Senior?"
The residual soul was somewhat displeased. He had passed down the Supreme Sword Sectâs heart method and swordsmanship, yet was still being called âSeniorâ?
"Thank you, Master!"
Lin Changâsheng didnât mind gaining another master and immediately changed his address.
"Hahahaâ"
The residual soul seemed quite pleased and continued, "Thirty miles south from here, thereâs a place called the Sword Storage Cave. Inside, Iâve placed all the swords I gathered in my lifetime. I hope they are of use to you. As a disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect, do not bring disgrace to the sect! Remember! Rememberâ"
With those words slowly fading, the residual soul turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished.
"Take care, Master!"
Lin Changâsheng bowed forward.
As soon as the residual soul disappeared, the dark clouds in the sky scattered, replaced by clear, boundless blue skies.
"Thirty miles south?"
Lin Changâsheng didnât hesitate any further and dashed quickly toward the Sword Storage Cave his master mentioned.
A short while later, Lin Changâsheng arrived thirty miles away, but after searching for half a day, he still couldnât find the Sword Storage Cave.
This made Lin Changâsheng wonder whether heâd been tricked by the residual soul?
But there was no reason for the other party to deceive him!
After searching the place inside and out countless times, Lin Changâsheng finally found a cave in a hidden corner.
On top of the cave were three characters inscribed with Brahma runes.
Lin Changâsheng wasnât sure if these three characters really said âSword Storage Caveâ, but he dove right in regardless.
Once he entered, inside the cave were all kinds of dazzling weapons that nearly made Lin Changâshengâs eyes blur.
He countedâthere were one hundred and twenty-three lower grade celestial spirit treasures, sixteen middle grade celestial spirit treasures, and three upper grade celestial spirit treasures.
Unfortunately, there were no heaven-reaching immortal treasures.
No wonder this was the domain of a sword expertâapart from swords, there were no other weapons here.
Lin Changâsheng swept them all up into his storage.
Then he left this space.
[Detected Supreme Sword Technique heart method. Spend 5000 immortal crystals to simplify it?]
[Detected Supreme Swordsmanship. Spend 6000 immortal crystals to simplify it?]
Lin Changâsheng had just exited this space when he saw these prompts appear on his panel.
"Simplify!"
Lin Changâsheng chose to simplify them without hesitation.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Supreme Sword Technique Heart Method... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Supreme Sword Technique Heart Method == Thinking Sword!]
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Supreme Swordsmanship... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Supreme Swordsmanship == Swinging Sword!]
"Thinking Sword? Swinging Sword?"
That didnât seem difficult at all.
Once both immortal techniques reached perfection, he could fuse them with the Void Divine King Technique and Celestial Vault Moon-Splitting Slash.
Klangâ
Right as Lin Changâsheng intended to grind proficiency for both immortal techniques, a group of people suddenly kicked the door open and barged in.
When they saw the coffin placed in the room, radiating waves of spiritual energy, their eyes instantly filled with greed.
At first glance, this coffin was no ordinary object. Spiritual energy gushed nonstop from it.
It was precisely the change in spiritual energy that had led them to this place.
Upon seeing this, Lin Changâsheng immediately waved and put away the coffin.
"Fellow Daoist, why be so stingy? Since itâs a treasure, shouldnât we all enjoy it together!"
Among the six, the ugly man at the front grinned, revealing yellow teeth as he spoke.
His face was pitted with scars, and there was a sword wound to bootâclearly, this guy fought often and viciously.
"People like you? Youâre not worthy."
Lin Changâsheng replied coldly.
He could tell these people didnât come with good intentions, so he had no reason to be polite.
"You bastard, donât refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Hand over the treasure now, and maybe weâll consider sparing your life!"
The ugly manâs mask dropped as he barked out angrily.
In their eyes, Lin Changâsheng was alone and only at Early Stage Void Refining. How could he possibly be their match?
This treasureâthey were determined to get it.
Lin Changâsheng had been concealing his cultivation to avoid drawing attention.
"If you leave now, I can pretend you were never here. But if you insist on robbing me, not only will you fail to get the treasure, youâll lose your lives."
Lin Changâsheng was completely unafraid of them.
He gauged their strength with a glance and found they werenât particularly strong.
The ugly man was the strongest, but only at Middle Stage Void Refining. The others: two Early Stage Void Refining and four Late Stage Divinity Transformation.
If Lin Changâsheng wanted to, he could obliterate them all in an instant.
But that would attract too much attentionâif he could avoid it, he would rather not fight.
These people clearly didnât know what was good for them. Lin Changâsheng tried to let them go, but they insisted on rushing toward death.
"Funny. Never heard of âan innocent man gets in trouble for his treasuresâ? If you donât hand it over, donât blame us for being ruthless!"
The ugly man swung out a massive blade, clearly ready to attack.
"So, you really have a death wish?"
Lin Changâshengâs eyes turned icy sharp.
If they truly wanted death, heâd grant their wish.
Since he had to act, Lin Changâsheng would end the fight as fast as possible.
That meant using the Divine Thunder Bow to unleash a barrage and kill all six instantly.
"We have a death wish? Hahahaâletâs see who really does! Boys, get him!"
The ugly man bellowed, slashing his blade toward Lin Changâsheng.
The other five didnât hesitate, unleashing their own attacks.
Some threw punches and kicks, others released sword aura, spear aura, and other attacksâall charging at Lin Changâsheng in a fierce wave.
Yet Lin Changâsheng felt no fear at all.
"Courting death!"
Lin Changâsheng instantly summoned the Divine Thunder Bow, pulling back both arms as thunderous roars erupted.
Crackâ
Arcs of powerful Thunderbolt Arrows shot forth, radiating awesome Celestial Thunder, filling the space with surging lightning.
"What theâ"
At the moment Lin Changâsheng revealed the Divine Thunder Bow, the ugly man was instantly petrified.
Just earlier downstairs, heâd heard passing cultivators talking about how, in the Celestial Pride List competition, Lin Changâsheng used an upper grade celestial spirit treasure to sweep all before him and claim the top spot.
And now, the man before him wielded a thunder-imbued Divine Bowâ
Could this person actually be Lin Changâsheng?
BOOMâ
The ugly man hadnât even reacted yetâ
The violent Thunderbolt Arrows had already collided with his blade aura.
The powerful Thunderbolt Arrows sent them all flying in an instant.
The other five were struck dead on the spot by the Thunderbolt Arrows, killed instantly.
The ugly man coughed blood, seriously wounded, collapsing and unable to move.
Bloody holes were blasted open in his chest and abdomen by the Thunderbolt Arrows.
"You...youâre Lin Changâsheng?"
The ugly man stared at Lin Changâsheng in disbelief.
He really was unluckyâheâd provoked someone he shouldnât have.
Never mind Lin Changâsheng had the Immortal Palace as his mighty backingâ
Just Lin Changâshengâs cultivation alone was more than he could handle.
"You realized too late."
Lin Changâsheng walked step by step toward the ugly man, intent on finishing him off.
The ruckus here would definitely attract other strong cultivatorsâ attention. It was best to leave at once.
"Wait, donât kill me! Please, spare me, Iâll never dareâ"
The ugly man desperately tried to crawl away.
But Lin Changâsheng had no intention of letting him goâheâd already given them their chance, which they refused.
BAMâ
Lin Changâsheng stomped on the ugly manâs chest, ending his life instantly.
He then swept the six corpses into his storage bag, gathered his power, and soared through the air, leaving the scene in a flash.
By the time others attracted by the commotion arrived, only a pool of blood remained on the ground.
