Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Xiaobai gave a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'sheng immediately used the Divine Blood Transformation Skill, raising his realm to the Early Stage of Tribulation Crossing.

Then he once again formed a Divine Soul Contract with the Wolf Race leader.

This time, it went a lot smoother.

Although it was a bit more difficult than contracting with the two powerful Wolf Race members, it still got done in the end.

As time ticked by, second after second.

Lin Chang'sheng was surrounded by waves of glowing red light.

The contracting took the span of a whole incense stick; by the time Lin Chang'sheng's secret technique was almost over, the Divine Soul Contract still wasn't completed.

Buzz—

Finally, as Lin Chang'sheng's secret technique was about to end, a beam of light burst outward from the two of them.

Lin Chang'sheng noticed a new thread connecting his mind—a bridge for communicating with the Wolf Race leader.

"Did I succeed?"

Lin Chang'sheng withdrew his hand with delight.

This was the leader of the Wolf Race at the Loose Immortal Level!

From now on, if he controlled him, wouldn't he have sway over the entire Wolf Race?

After that, Lin Chang'sheng led the Wolf Race leader straight out of the Holy Soul Banner.

Outside, the Wolf Race leader and the two Wolf Race experts knelt before Lin Chang'sheng, showing him the kind of respect you'd give a Divine.

After questioning them, Lin Chang'sheng learned they had come under orders from Qingyou to kill Xiaobai.

Unfortunately, they hadn't even seen Xiaobai before falling under Lin Chang'sheng's control.

"This Demon Race really is something else. Besides the Fox Race, there's the Wolf Race, the Bear Race, the Tiger Race, and so on! Each big faction has a bunch of powerful figures!"

Lin Chang'sheng thought to himself, right now the Demon Race was led by the Fox Race's Empress Qingyou.

"That Empress Qingyou has Immortal Realm Cultivation. Nothing to sneeze at. I'll wait till I reach the Immortal Realm, then pay the Demon Race a visit!"

Lin Chang'sheng mused to himself. The Empress Qingyou had pestered Lin Chang'sheng and Xiaobai time and again. Once his own strength matched hers, there'd be payback, for sure.

After settling the Wolf Race problem, Lin Chang'sheng finally waved Gu Shan and Guo Yunchu out.

Upon learning that Lin Chang'sheng had subdued the three Wolf Race members, Gu Shan was utterly shocked.

One Loose Immortal and two Early Stage Tribulation Crossing cultivators, all subdued by Lin Chang'sheng? Unbelievable.

How did Lin Chang'sheng pull it off?

"You're a freak!"

Gu Shan couldn't find another word to describe Lin Chang'sheng.

"If you sign this Divine Soul Contract with them, does that mean they'll do whatever you say?"

Guo Yunchu asked, full of curiosity.

"Of course!"

Lin Chang'sheng replied, then looked at Guo Yunchu with a smirk, "What, you want to sign one with me too?"

"N-no need!"

Guo Yunchu waved her hands furiously, her look making Lin Chang'sheng burst out laughing.

This Divine Soul Contract Technique can't be used with people, only with Demon Beasts.

Lin Chang'sheng was just saying that casually, but Guo Yunchu actually bought it.

"Miss Guo, this Divine Soul Contract Technique can't be used on people, but if you don't mind, you two could sign a Dao Companion Contract."

Gu Shan chuckled.

"Who wants a Dao Companion Contract with him? Lin Chang'sheng, how dare you mess with me?"

Guo Yunchu glared furiously at Lin Chang'sheng, raising her hand like she was about to whack him.

"Aren't you the Immortal Martial Hall's little princess? And you don't even know something this simple?"

Lin Chang'sheng laughed, thinking this girl could be adorably dumb at times.

"How should I know all this stuff? I hardly ever left the Immortal Martial Hall all these years!"

Guo Yunchu explained, "Next time we catch a strong Flying Demon Beast, could you let me sign one too? Consider it compensation!"

Seeing Lin Chang'sheng with a flying mount made Guo Yunchu so jealous. If only she could have her own flying mount.

"No problem! Next chance I get, I'll catch one for you!"

Lin Chang'sheng readily agreed.

Guo Yunchu finally broke into a smile.

After wrapping up business with the Wolf Race experts, the trio continued on their journey.

The further north they went, the colder it got.

...

Half a month later, on the Ice and Snow Continent.

Lin Chang'sheng finally arrived here with Gu Shan and Guo Yunchu.

Snow fell year-round here, the ground blanketed in thick layers of snow and ice.

"Frost City is still over two hundred li from here!"

Lin Chang'sheng checked his bearings and moved quickly toward Frost City.

The fact that people could survive here really impressed Lin Chang'sheng.

Frost City was one of the few cities on the Ice and Snow Continent.

It could hold hundreds of thousands of people, but now only a little over a hundred thousand remained.

And the population kept dropping—many couldn't bear the cold and left.

Only a stubborn few stayed on here.

They knew, this place couldn't be left abandoned, or the Immortal Realm would descend into chaos.

Squawk—

A moment later, a piercing eagle cry rang out above Frost City.

A huge bird split the sky, its shadow darkening the sun as it came.

"What Demon Beast is that? It's gigantic!"

"Doesn't look like one from the Forbidden Land!"

"If it were a monster from the Forbidden Land, there'd be more than one by now!"

"That Fierce Beast is shrouded in thunder and lightning—clearly not weak!"

...

Inside Frost City, many discussed the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle soaring in the sky overhead.

"That statue looks a lot like Sister Zhen?"

As soon as he entered the city, Lin Chang'sheng noticed the most eye-catching structure in Frost City—an imposing statue of the Ice Frost Empress.

The statue was a seventy percent likeness of Yan Zhen, radiating majesty, like a true Valkyrie walking the mortal world.

"Down!"

Lin Chang'sheng steered the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle downward, then entered the city.

After asking around, Lin Chang'sheng learned that Yan Zhen lived in the Imperial Palace and was revered here as the noble Empress.

Yan Zhen, upon hearing the eagle's cry, seemed to know Lin Chang'sheng had arrived and immediately came out of the palace to wait.

Soon, the two met outside the Imperial Palace.

"Chang'sheng?"

Yan Zhen could hardly believe it. Lin Chang'sheng had reached the Late Stage of Mahayana in just a few short years. Unbelievable.

"Sister Zhen?"

Standing before Yan Zhen, Lin Chang'sheng was just as stunned.

Yan Zhen used to be simple and frugal, the practical, hardworking type.

Now she was a mighty Empress, dressed in lavish robes with a white crown atop her head, looking utterly regal.

The difference was stunning.

"Your sister?"

Guo Yunchu asked in surprise.

When did Lin Chang'sheng get a big sister? And judging by her presence, her status wasn't simple—and her strength was unfathomable.

Even Gu Shan was amazed.

The Ice and Snow Empress was Lin Chang'sheng's sister? What was their real relationship?

"I just knew you'd come back. Come in, you all!"

Yan Zhen beckoned Lin Chang'sheng and the others inside, away from the noisy crowds.

Once inside the palace, Yan Zhen dismissed everyone else, leaving just the three of them.

"Sister Zhen, why stay in such a cold place all this time?"

Lin Chang'sheng asked in confusion.

"You wouldn't know this, but this is the exit of a Forbidden Land. Only because the commanders of Frost City have guarded it for years have the monsters inside been kept from escaping!"

"If we left, the Immortal Realm would plunge into chaos again!"

"Remember how I told you to come here after reaching Mahayana Stage? There's something I want your help with!"

Yan Zhen cut straight to the point.

She'd wanted Lin Chang'sheng to come here—not just for old times' sake.

"Oh?"

That surprised Lin Chang'sheng. "If you need help with anything, Sister Zhen, just say the word!"

Lin Chang'sheng agreed instantly.

Yan Zhen had helped him plenty in the past. If Lin Chang'sheng could return the favor, he wouldn't refuse.

Yan Zhen glanced at Gu Shan and Guo Yunchu.

"Ahem—ahem, right, I almost forgot something, I'll just step out for a moment!"

Gu Shan wisely excused himself, but after a few steps, he noticed Guo Yunchu still standing there dumbfounded, so he dragged her out too.

"Why are you pulling me?"

Guo Yunchu protested, confused.

"Miss Guo, you have to help me with something!"

Gu Shan was exasperated. How could this girl miss such an obvious clue?

Once Gu Shan and Guo Yunchu left, Yan Zhen moved beside Lin Chang'sheng.

"There's a crack in the array beneath Frost City. Occasionally Demon Beasts from the Forbidden Land burst out. In this world, you're the only one I trust, so I need your help repairing the rift. Otherwise, if it keeps expanding, those Demon Beasts might break out!"

Yan Zhen shared her concerns with him.
