Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

[Blood Killing Immortal Locking Array: Perfection]

Along the way, Lin Chang’sheng had been diligently studying the Blood Killing Immortal Locking Array.

This array was acquired in the Blood City Secret Realm, and it’s no ordinary thing—laid down by a Loose Immortal.

Once fully mastered, it could be fused with the Nine Heavens Soul-Devouring Immortal Array, undoubtedly giving birth to an even more formidable formation.

By now, Lin Chang’sheng felt that the Nine Heavens Soul-Devouring Immortal Array was starting to feel inadequate.

As long as the opponent breaks through to the Immortal Realm, the array loses its effect—it can’t trap or kill an Immortal Realm powerhouse.

[Blood Killing Immortal Locking Array detected. Would you like to fuse it with the Nine Heavens Soul-Devouring Immortal Array?]

Just as Lin Chang’sheng brought the Blood Killing Immortal Locking Array to perfection, a pop-up appeared on the system panel.

”Fuse!”

Lin Chang’sheng made the choice decisively.

After fusing, this array would definitely become even more overwhelming in power.

[Blood Killing Immortal Locking Array (Perfection), Nine Heavens Soul-Devouring Immortal Array (Perfection) fusion initiated... Fusing... Fusion complete. You have obtained a new array: Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array.]

”Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array?”

Lin Chang’sheng mused to himself—just the name sounded intense.

Immortal-locking?

This formation definitely poses a threat even to those in the Immortal Realm.

Even if it can’t kill the opponent, trapping them inside wouldn’t be a problem.

[Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array detected. Would you like to spend 15,000 Immortal Crystals to Simplify it?]

In the next instant, the panel popped up another prompt.

15,000 Immortal Crystals—a big amount for most cultivators.

Thankfully, Lin Chang’sheng had plenty of Immortal Crystals in hand.

”Simplify!”

Lin Chang’sheng chose to simplify without hesitation.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplification of Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array initiated... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array == Close Eyes and Nourish the Spirit!]

”Close Eyes and Nourish the Spirit?”

Lin Chang’sheng thought: Well that’s simple!

Then he went ahead and simply closed his eyes to nourish his spirit.

Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array Experience Points +1!

Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array Experience Points +1!

...

As time passed, the experience points for the Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array steadily skyrocketed.

Gu Shan, noticing that Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t making any moves, also started cultivating his technique.

Time flew by.

In a blink, half a day had quietly slipped away.

[Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array: Perfection!]

Finally, after relentlessly closing his eyes and nourishing his spirit, Lin Chang’sheng maxed out the Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array to its perfect realm.

He also upgraded the Nine Heavens Soul-Devouring Immortal Array inside the Holy Soul Banner to the Soul-Devouring Immortal-locking Divine Array.

This formation, much like the Nine Heavens Soul-Devouring Immortal Array, had its own unique intricacies. It used the Demon Beasts and Divine Soul within the array to relentlessly attack its target.

But its power was many levels higher than the Nine Heavens Soul-Devouring Immortal Array.

After the array reached perfection, Lin Chang’sheng hesitated a moment before waving his hand to summon Guo Yunchu out.

As soon as Guo Yunchu emerged, she looked around. But she didn’t seem to find what she was hoping for, her face instantly clouding with displeasure.

”Did you kill Tributor Luo?”

Guo Yunchu’s face was filled with shock. Tributor Luo was second only to her father in strength at the Immortal Martial Hall, and even he couldn’t kill Lin Chang’sheng?

Is this guy really undying? Or is his life just absurdly tough?

”No, but next time I see him, he probably won’t be so lucky.”

Lin Chang’sheng replied slowly.

After spending time together, he no longer detested Guo Yunchu as much as he did in the beginning.

Earlier, using Guo Yunchu to threaten Tributor Luo was simply a matter of necessity.

After getting the Divine Liquid, Lin Chang’sheng planned to give Guo Yunchu a drop as well.

Just not yet.

After all, with Guo Yunchu powerless right now, she posed no threat—better for Lin Chang’sheng that way.

”Don’t look at me like that. There’s no way I’m giving you Divine Liquid right now! If you recover your Broken Vein, who knows what kind of trouble you’ll stir up for me? As long as you behave, I’ll give it to you someday!”

Seeing Guo Yunchu glaring at him like she wanted to kill him, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t help but explain.

”From beginning to end, you’ve always treated me as a chess piece—one you could sacrifice at any moment, right?”

Right now, what Guo Yunchu hated most wasn’t that Lin Chang’sheng withheld the Divine Liquid, but that she had become a bargaining chip in his hands at the critical moment.

After so many days together, even Guo Yunchu didn’t despise Lin Chang’sheng as much as before—in fact, she’d grown quite fond of him.

Even when Luo Juetian came to kill Lin Chang’sheng, she hadn’t wanted him dead.

If Lin Chang’sheng lost to Luo Juetian, she’d definitely plead for mercy on his behalf.

But Lin Chang’sheng went ahead and used her to threaten Luo Juetian—he even almost strangled her to death.

That suffocating feeling still lingered in her memory.

”What else could I do?”

Lin Chang’sheng replied simply, his expression utterly calm.

”So you don’t have, not even a little, the slightest feeling for me?”

Guo Yunchu stared hard at Lin Chang’sheng, as if desperate for an answer from him.

”No.”

Lin Chang’sheng replied with a cool composure.

But those words stabbed Guo Yunchu’s heart like a knife, making her chest ache sharply.

She couldn’t help but tear up, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

”Alright, I get it!”

She retreated step by step, then turned and leaped from the back of the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle.

She refused to believe that after all those days together, Lin Chang’sheng felt nothing for her.

Even in a crisis, she was just a chess piece to be sacrificed.

Seeing Guo Yunchu’s move, Lin Chang’sheng was left speechless.

If Guo Yunchu died, he’d lose his bargaining chip against the Immortal Martial Hall.

So Lin Chang’sheng leapt after her, speeding toward Guo Yunchu.

Midair, he caught Guo Yunchu in his arms, soared back up, and landed steadily on the back of the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle.

”If you didn’t care about me, why did you save me?”

Guo Yunchu demanded angrily.

”As long as the Immortal Martial Hall doesn’t come after me, I won’t come after you. When the time is right, I’ll use Divine Liquid to fix your Broken Vein! Don’t overthink the rest!”

With a wave of his hand, Lin Chang’sheng put Guo Yunchu back into the Storage Ring.

Her little episode left Lin Chang’sheng’s heart in turmoil.

He felt that maybe he did have a little liking for Guo Yunchu—but just a little, nothing more.

”Looks like even Immortal Venerables have their troubles,”

Gu Shan chuckled not far away, ”The emotional trial is always the hardest.”

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t respond to Gu Shan, but couldn’t calm his thoughts for some time.

He could only throw himself into cultivation, eager to distract himself.

Lin Chang’sheng still had plenty of Spirit Marrow in his Storage Bag.

And it wasn’t just a drop or two—he had half a pool left.

The Spiritual Energy in that Spirit Marrow was extremely rich; as Lin Chang’sheng refined it, his whole body felt refreshed, like he was bathing in dense Spiritual Energy.

Three days later.

”Lin Chang’sheng, come here!”

As Lin Chang’sheng was cultivating, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

”Tributor Luo?”

The call was coming from Luo Juetian.

And he was blocking Lin Chang’sheng’s path up ahead.

About thirty miles ahead stood a huge city—Spirit Heaven City.

With a population of over three hundred thousand, it was bustling.

”If he tries anything, I’ll just use the grand array and annihilate him!”

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself, then sped straight toward Spirit Heaven City.

When Lin Chang’sheng arrived at Spirit Heaven City, Luo Juetian had already been waiting in a tavern for quite a while, even having the waiter serve some good wine.

Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t figure out what kind of game Luo Juetian was playing.

”What do you want?”

Before sitting down, Lin Chang’sheng went straight to the point.

”I’d like to negotiate something with you. Don’t know if you’d do me the honor?”

Luo Juetian made an inviting gesture.

Lin Chang’sheng sat across from Luo Juetian, while Gu Shan sensibly found another seat for himself.

”So, what’s up?”

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t think Luo Juetian had anything good planned for him.

”You’ve offended plenty of sects, and there are many who want you dead. With Miss Yunchu at your side, she may face danger. How about you release Miss Yunchu, and I’ll trade you this?”

Luo Juetian waved his hand, producing a stalk of Spirit Grass.

This was no ordinary Spirit Grass. As soon as it appeared, the entire tavern was enveloped in a dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

It was as if all the Spiritual Energy within a ten-mile radius was being sucked in by that Spirit Grass.

”This is called Spirit Blood Immortal King Grass. No matter where it’s planted, it’ll suck in all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a twenty-mile radius—perfect for aiding a cultivator’s practice.”

”And this Immortal King Grass can regenerate. Whether you use it in alchemy or eat half of it directly, it offers a huge boost!”

Luo Juetian brought out his best treasure, hoping to trade for Guo Yunchu.

That way, when Corpse Evil Daoist activated the grand array, Guo Yunchu wouldn’t get hurt by accident.
