Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

The Immortal Realm is so vast—he was planning to look around everywhere. Even if he ultimately perished here, he felt he’d have no regrets at all.

"I choose to stay!"

Zhuo Yijian chimed in right after, knowing exactly what he was capable of.

Judging by Jin Guangren’s attitude toward Lin Chang’sheng, it was clear the guy would never shortchange them.

If he didn’t stay at this sect, he couldn’t be sure any other would take him in.

After all, they only had Golden Core cultivation. Compared to the prodigies of the Immortal Realm, they were just... ordinary.

Better to stay at Moon Worship Manor and train in peace.

"I’m staying too!"

Yu Lingfei immediately followed.

Her thoughts aligned perfectly with Zhuo Yijian’s; if they didn’t stay here, there really was nowhere else for them to go.

They weren’t nearly as talented as Lin Chang’sheng, able to wander the Immortal Realm solo.

Their cultivation—once outside the protection of the sect—wouldn’t protect them for even a moment. They’d fall faster than ants.

Seeing Zhuo Yijian and Yu Lingfei choose to stay, the rest of the disciples didn’t even hesitate; all of them decided to remain.

"Good. You guys stay at Moon Worship Manor and focus on cultivation. Sometime down the line, I’ll definitely come visit you!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied.

With them choosing to stay in this sect, Lin Chang’sheng felt at ease.

Jin Guangren wasn’t exactly a clueless guy; he’d never be cruel to his disciples.

If he were, he wouldn’t have stuck his neck out and let Lin Chang’sheng wipe out Black Tiger Hall.

"Brother Lin, where are you headed?"

Gao Ziyue gazed at Lin Chang’sheng, reluctant as ever. She’d known all along that once they reached the Immortal Realm, they’d part ways, but she never thought that day would come so soon.

"I might head to the Immortal Palace. Now, I’m just taking things one step at a time!"

Lin Chang’sheng answered; to be honest, he wasn’t sure what he’d do next.

But there was no way he could stay at a tiny sect like this.

There was no way these people could keep him safe.

It might even bring disaster down on all of them.

Only the Immortal Realm’s five strongest powers were places Lin Chang’sheng could truly rely on.

"Immortal Palace?"

Gao Ziyue whispered the name, wanting to really remember it—in case she had a shot to visit the place one day and look for Lin Chang’sheng.

"You guys, go with the sect leader to Black Tiger Hall—you might get lucky and find some treasures! I’m going to find somewhere quiet to cultivate for a few days, then I’ll head out!"

Lin Chang’sheng said.

Now that he had immortal crystals, cultivation was his numero uno priority—he didn’t dare waste a single moment.

He knew that once the people from the Celestial Nether Sword Sect and the Gu Family heard his whereabouts, they’d race here to kill him.

"Alright! Take care, Daoist Lin!"

Cao De made a cupped fist salute, then shot off toward Black Tiger Hall.

Next was Zhuo Yijian, Yu Lingfei, Gao Ziyue, and the others—they each left.

In no time, only Wine Sword Immortal, Yan Zhen, and Zhao Shuang’Er remained.

"Daoist Lin, meeting you was the luckiest moment of my life. We’ll meet again if fate allows!"

Wine Sword Immortal took a swig of his fiery liquor, then laughed heartily.

"Elder Sword Immortal, you flatter me—it was my good fortune too!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied.

"Take care! Hahaha—"

Wine Sword Immortal tossed that line over his shoulder and cackled as he soared away atop his sword.

"Take care!"

Lin Chang’sheng wondered if he’d ever get the chance to see Wine Sword Immortal again.

With the Immortal Realm full of peril, Wine Sword Immortal only had Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation. Roaming around like that was risky.

Still, it was the guy’s choice, so Lin Chang’sheng didn’t comment.

Next, only Yan Zhen and Zhao Shuang’Er remained.

What really surprised Lin Chang’sheng was that Yan Zhen chose to leave too. She said some vague memory was pulling her toward a certain place—she didn’t know where, just that it mattered a lot to her.

And then Zhao Shuang’Er actually decided to stay with Lin Chang’sheng.

"Sister Zhen, be careful out there!"

Lin Chang’sheng was worried, but knew whatever this was, it had to be huge for Yan Zhen.

After merging with the Ice Frost Empress’s memories, her identity had become way more complicated than just Yan Zhen—maybe even something like the Empress’s servant calling her away.

"Chang’sheng, you take care too. If you get the chance, come look for me in the Ice and Snow Sea Realm!"

Yan Zhen said, then leapt away in a flash.

Clearly something important was calling her, something she had to resolve.

Once Yan Zhen left, the only one left was the skinny Zhao Shuang’Er.

She might’ve been thin, but her face was strikingly pretty.

"You’re not afraid of the danger sticking with me?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked Zhao Shuang’Er curiously.

"Danger? The Land of Evil was dangerous every second too—danger’s just a part of life for me!"

Zhao Shuang’Er replied.

She didn’t want to stay at Moon Worship Manor; for one, she already had Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation, and there wasn’t much more to learn here.

Second, she honestly admired Lin Chang’sheng and wanted to travel the Immortal Realm with him.

"Uh—"

Hearing Zhao Shuang’Er talk like that, Lin Chang’sheng was kind of speechless. You know, she wasn’t wrong.

The Land of Evil really was dangerous, no less than the Immortal Realm.

"If you want to come with me, fine—but you have to do everything I say on the road!"

Lin Chang’sheng agreed straightforwardly; the journey to the Immortal Palace would be long, so having someone to chat with wasn’t bad at all!

Zhao Shuang’Er nodded so hard it looked like a chick pecking for rice.

"Then can I just call you Shuang’Er from now on?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked.

"Mm-hmm! Then, can I call you Brother Chang’sheng?"

Zhao Shuang’Er asked carefully.

Lin Chang’sheng just smiled, "Of course, I don’t mind!"

As he spoke, Lin Chang’sheng began deactivating the grand array and packed up the array plates and array foundations.

"Let’s go!"

With the array deactivated, Lin Chang’sheng took Zhao Shuang’Er, dashed a thousand miles away, and found a well-hidden cave to hole up in. The cave was enormous—like the size of two football fields.

You really had to admire Mother Nature’s craftsmanship.

Then Lin Chang’sheng dumped everything out of his storage bags in a big pile and started checking his spoils.

This time, after annihilating thirty thousand Black Tiger Hall cultivators, the loot and immortal crystals were insane.

Especially the storage bags from the heads of Black Tiger Hall.

Just the immortal crystals added up to over seventy thousand, more than ten Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, plus all sorts of demon beast materials, herbs, pills, immortal techniques, and more.

The rest of the crowd’s immortal crystals were less impressive—altogether barely thirty thousand, so only about one immortal crystal per person on average.

"A hundred fifty thousand immortal crystals, thirteen lower grade Celestial Spirit Treasures—now that’s a harvest!"

Lin Chang’sheng did the math. This battle netted him a total of a hundred fifty thousand immortal crystals, and from the Black Tiger Hall folks’ storage bags, thirteen lower grade Celestial Spirit Treasures.

Combine those lower grade spirit treasures, and he could forge much stronger divine soldiers.

"Time to simplify some immortal techniques!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself, then opened his panel.

He planned to max out the immortal techniques he hadn’t yet simplified to perfection.

[Detected Three Thousand Thunder Flame Arrow Technique. Spend 3,000 immortal crystals to simplify?]

[Detected Six-Armed Divine Technique. Spend 10,000 immortal crystals to simplify?]

[Detected Ghost Shadow Celestial Vault Step. Spend 3,000 immortal crystals to simplify?]

The panel instantly popped up three prompts.

Out of all of them, the Six-Armed Divine Technique was the one Lin Chang’sheng wanted most to simplify.

If he got that to perfection, he’d be able to manifest six arms and his combat power would skyrocket.

And it really was an insanely strong technique, using up as many immortal crystals as the Void Immortal King Technique.

Luckily, Lin Chang’sheng was loaded right now, otherwise he might not have been able to afford it.

"Simplify!"

Lin Chang’sheng decisively selected "simplify" for all of them.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Three Thousand Thunder Flame Arrow Technique... Simplifying... Complete! Three Thousand Thunder Flame Arrow Technique == Playing with Fire!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Six-Armed Divine Technique... Simplifying... Complete! Six-Armed Divine Technique == Hand Rubbing!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Ghost Shadow Celestial Vault Step... Simplifying... Complete! Ghost Shadow Celestial Vault Step == Running!]

"Playing with Fire? Hand Rubbing? Running?"

Looking at the simplified forms, Lin Chang’sheng was pretty satisfied.

He could even practice all three at the same time.

So, Lin Chang’sheng started running, rubbing his hands, and working the Undying Flame through his body in a spiral.

Three Thousand Thunder Flame Arrow Technique experience +1!

Six-Armed Divine Technique experience +1!

Ghost Shadow Celestial Vault Step experience +1!

...

As Lin Chang’sheng kept running, rubbing hands, and playing with fire, the proficiency for his three big immortal techniques shot up like crazy.

Zhao Shuang’Er watched, jaw dropped—Brother Chang’sheng sure had some oddball hobbies, didn’t he?
