Chapter 580: Chapter 413: Celestial Blade Godslaying Slash, Tiger Roar Soul-Splitting Palm, Divine Healing Pill
"Not bad!"
Lin Chang’sheng was quite satisfied with the power of that palm strike.
And this was only from using a tenth of his full Primordial Power.
Even a casual attack had such force—if he unleashed his full strength, it’d be even more devastating.
After testing the might of his Palm Seal, Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand and drew an ordinary long saber.
Then, channeling his Primordial Power, he unleashed the Celestial Blade Godslaying Slash.
As he performed the Saber Technique, it seemed to harness the Power of the Celestial Vaulting itself—the momentum of heaven and earth merging right into the blade’s edge.
"Break!"
Lin Chang’sheng swung his saber. In midair, a massive Blade Aura a hundred zhang long took shape, plummeting forward with a roar.
The Blade Aura wasn’t especially huge, but its momentum was shockingly intense.
The killing intent and worldly might fused within the Blade Aura made this strike utterly soul-chilling—enough to make even gods and devils retreat in fear.
"What a fierce Saber Technique!"
Not far off, Hou Shaojie’s heart skipped a beat as he sensed that Blade Aura.
If he had to take that slash head-on, he doubted he’d even have the courage to try to block it.
Boom—boom—boom—
The next instant, the violent Blade Aura struck the distant ground and the Grand Array’s shield.
A thunderous explosion rang out.
The ground was carved several zhang deep by that one slash, torn open into a massive chasm.
And the Array barrier, under Lin Chang’sheng’s blade, began to wildly ripple and distort from the impact, as if it might shatter at any moment.
The commotion was so great that all the top experts in the Imperial City took notice.
"That kid looks like he thinks he can brute-force his way through the Grand Array! Overestimating himself, much?"
"Exactly! To break the Grand Array, you need at least Late Stage Integration. With just his Early Stage Integration strength, he’d kill himself trying, but he can’t even stir it!"
"Wait, something’s off—the Array actually shook? Could his attack rival the Late Stage Integration cultivators?"
"You sure you sensed right? How could that kid possibly budge the Array?"
"No mistake! Good thing he stopped attacking, or a couple more of those and our Array would’ve shattered!"
...
The experts all around the Imperial City were buzzing, thinking Lin Chang’sheng was biting off more than he could chew, only to witness him nearly smash open the Grand Array.
Lin Chang’sheng’s incredible potential had them all feeling even more shocked.
And when Wu Yue, who’d left not long before, heard about it, she was clearly surprised as well.
She’d figured Lin Chang’sheng for some lecherous scoundrel—but turns out, he actually had such terrifying strength?
Looks like she’d truly misjudged him.
Right now, though, Lin Chang’sheng had no intention of breaking the Array—he’d just wanted to try out the might of his newly-fused Immortal Techniques.
The power of those two Immortal Techniques left Lin Chang’sheng more than satisfied.
He could tell the Array was teetering on the verge of collapse from his assault.
And this was with just a regular saber—if he’d used the Upper Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure Evil-breaking Blade, he figured one slash would shatter the Array for sure.
By now, Lin Chang’sheng’s mastery of heaven and earth’s momentum was sharper than ever—he was just a single step from comprehending the Heavenly Dao itself.
"I’ll have to cultivate the Undying Divine Dragon Body once I get out!"
Lin Chang’sheng mused to himself.
This Undying Divine Dragon Body had to be seriously extraordinary—once activated, his physical body would be outrageously domineering.
Too bad he didn’t have any beauties to help him cultivate right now.
"Since I can’t leave yet, might as well refine some pills!"
Lin Chang’sheng decided to pull out the Yun Shen Pill he’d gotten from Qingfeng Cliff and work on his cultivation.
This elixir was no joke—not only could it increase a cultivator’s realm and restore Primordial Power, but it could also strengthen the Divine Soul.
[Yun Shen Pill Entry Level!]
After studying the pill formula for an hour, Lin Chang’sheng finally reached Entry Level proficiency with it.
[Detected Yun Shen Pill. Spend 6000 Immortal Crystals to Simplify?]
The system panel popped up another prompt.
"Simplify!"
Lin Chang’sheng decisively chose to Simplify.
Because after Simplification, he’d be able to master the formula even faster.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Yun Shen Pill...simplifying...simplification complete. Yun Shen Pill == Mud Balls!]
"Mud balls again?"
Lin Chang’sheng felt helpless—he’d made these before, hadn’t he?
But this time, he wasn’t about to roll mud from his own body. Instead, he’d just dig up some dirt from the ruins and roll those into balls.
Faster that way—otherwise, if he kept scraping dirt off himself, he might wear his skin off and not even max out the pill skill.
Yun Shen Pill Experience +1!
Yun Shen Pill Experience +1!
...
As Lin Chang’sheng kept scooping up dirt and rolling it into little balls, his Yun Shen Pill experience points soared like mad.
"Boss... is actually playing with mud? Did he go off the rails in his cultivation?"
Hou Shaojie saw Lin Chang’sheng in the ruins, buried in muddy handiwork, and was left utterly baffled.
But then he thought—no way, right?
Boss has such a freakish physique—how could he possibly go insane from cultivation?
"Maybe he’s digging out a tunnel by hand to escape?"
Hou Shaojie wondered silently.
But then again—wait, no! Boss knows Space Secret Techniques. If he wanted to escape, why dig tunnels?
Unable to figure it out, Hou Shaojie simply stopped stressing. Whatever the boss was up to, he always had his reasons.
[Yun Shen Pill Perfection!]
Lin Chang’sheng rolled up mud balls for a full three hours.
Luckily, hard work pays off—he finally maxed out his Yun Shen Pill proficiency.
With his Perfection Level Yun Shen Pill refining method, one furnace could yield ten pills—with at least nine-and-a-half turning out perfect.
There happened to be a small Alchemy Room nearby, fully equipped with a Pill Furnace and Earth Fire.
And as for the essential ingredients, Lin Chang’sheng had taken all he needed off bandits back at Qingfeng Cliff.
The main substances—Dragon Scale Lotus, thousand-year-old blood ginseng, Three-leaf Spirit Fruit—Lin Chang’sheng had all of those on hand, too.
He’d looted those from enemies he’d slain in the past.
With ingredients gathered, Lin Chang’sheng began refining the elixir.
Ignite flame, cleanse the furnace, add the herbs, refine, condense the pill—step by step, no shortcuts.
...
Three days later.
Time flew by as Lin Chang’sheng worked at alchemy.
To refine ordinary pills, maybe an hour or two would do.
But the stronger the pill, the longer the process needed.
"Almost ready!"
Feeling that the moment had come, Lin Chang’sheng quickly opened the furnace lid.
A dense, overpowering medicinal fragrance rushed out to greet him.
The Spiritual Energy in the Alchemy Hall instantly grew several times richer.
Looking more closely, he saw ten milky-white elixirs quietly resting within the furnace—one hundred percent pill success!
And the pill patterns on each one were perfectly distinct, spiritual energy flowing evenly; you could tell at a glance each one was a top specimen.
Even a single pill like this could fetch thousands of Immortal Crystals on the black market.
"Wonder how potent these are?"
Lin Chang’sheng mused, then popped a Yun Shen Pill into his mouth without hesitation.
The moment the pill entered his belly, it instantly dissolved—tsunamis of medicinal power surged into every inch of Lin Chang’sheng’s body.
He could feel every pore of his body open wide, greedily absorbing all the effects of the Yun Shen Pill.
Some of the medicinal power shot straight into his Divine Sense, nurturing his Divine Soul and making it rapidly stronger.
Just one pill, and Lin Chang’sheng felt his Primordial Power, fleshly body, and Divine Soul had all strengthened by a tenth.
"This stuff is that dominant? If I keep taking them, can I break through right away?"
Lin Chang’sheng wondered. If every pill hit this hard, he figured he could break through just by eating elixirs.
He immediately swallowed a second Yun Shen Pill.
But as Lin Chang’sheng continued, he noticed the effect wasn’t as pronounced as the first time.
The medicinal power had clearly diminished.
Even so, the Yun Shen Pill was still impressively potent.
But it seemed that popping pills to boost his realm wouldn’t work—the first dose was best, then the effects just kept dropping off.
[Detected Yun Shen Pill (Perfection), Infinite Holy Pill (Perfection). Fuse into new pill formula?]
Suddenly, to Lin Chang’sheng’s surprise, the system panel popped out another prompt.
Didn’t expect these two pills could be fused, huh?
"Fuse!"
Lin Chang’sheng chose to fuse without hesitation.
[Yun Shen Pill (Perfection), Infinite Holy Pill (Perfection), Fusion start...fusing...fusion complete! New pill formula Divine Healing Pill obtained!]
"Divine Healing Pill?"
Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself; just from the name, you could tell this was no ordinary stuff.
