Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 706: Chapter 476: Demon Slayer Sword Immortal Technique, Immortal Ascension Hairpin (Part 2)

"As expected of a Holy Pill, I actually feel like I’m about to break through!"

Gu Shan’s heart swelled with joy, his delight impossible to conceal.

He had been waiting hundreds of years for this day, never expecting it to arrive so suddenly.

"Then just break through."

Lin Chang’sheng replied.

With Lin Chang’sheng keeping watch, Gu Shan said nothing more, fully immersing himself in his breakthrough.

But Lin Chang’sheng’s gaze was already fixed on the three wooden boxes and the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure Blade nearby.

He wanted to see how to obtain those treasures.

Every one of those treasures was shrouded in a powerful restriction.

"Heaven, Earth, Man, Unity!"

Looking closer, Lin Chang’sheng noticed the character ’Heaven’ engraved beneath the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure Blade.

Meanwhile, the three wooden boxes were etched with the characters ’Earth’, ’Man’, and ’Unity’ at their fronts.

It seemed that to obtain these treasures, one had to unravel the mystery of these words.

"Man probably refers to the person himself."

Lin Chang’sheng mused to himself, then reached a hand toward the nearest wooden box.

But when his hand was only seven inches away, an incredibly strong force bound him, not allowing him to get any closer.

Lin Chang’sheng increased his strength, sending all his primordial power surging out, but the force only grew stronger, a golden shield forming around the box.

"Looks like brute force alone isn’t going to cut it."

Lin Chang’sheng had no choice but to pull back.

The harder he pushed with his primordial power, the greater the backlash he felt.

"Seems your aptitude’s too low. No way you’re getting this thing."

Guo Yunchu saw Lin Chang’sheng fail to obtain the treasure and immediately smirked mockingly at him.

Lin Chang’sheng ignored her, sliced his fingertip, and let a drop of blood fall onto the golden shield.

Maybe the shield was testing the wielder’s talent.

After all, a powerful cultivator’s blood best showed their aptitude.

Sure enough, once Lin Chang’sheng’s blood landed on the light shield, the shield suddenly turned crimson, then slowly began to dissipate in a shower of light.

"Did it work?"

Lin Chang’sheng saw the restriction vanish and could hardly believe it—was it really that easy?

This time as he walked up to take the wooden box, nothing stopped him at all.

Apparently, the array had acknowledged Lin Chang’sheng’s aptitude.

"Stay back!"

Lin Chang’sheng noticed Guo Yunchu trying to approach, and barked at her.

"What’s the big deal?"

Guo Yunchu muttered and walked away.

Lin Chang’sheng opened the wooden box and found a white jade token inside.

The white jade token was about two fingers wide, flawless and smooth, without any designs.

"Does it also need a blood recognition?"

Lin Chang’sheng guessed.

But after he dropped a bead of blood on it, nothing happened.

"Let’s try infusing it with primordial power."

Lin Chang’sheng channeled his power into it.

At that moment, the jade pendant suddenly radiated dazzling light, runes blooming across its surface.

The once-ordinary pendant instantly became enigmatic and profound.

As divine patterns shifted, an outline of a humanoid figure took shape within the jade.

Buzz—

The next instant, the figure rushed out of the jade, manifesting above the Sword Tomb.

The figure looked seventy-something, dressed in white with white hair, but his face showed not a single wrinkle; he was brimming with vitality.

"Three thousand years... Finally someone’s come and unraveled my arrays. It seems your potential is extraordinary—you have what it takes to inherit my legacy!"

The white-robed figure spoke slowly.

"Are you the Elder Sword Immortal?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked curiously.

Although he already knew it had to be Sword Immortal Mu Zhen Tian, he still wanted to be sure.

"Just an empty title. So young, yet already at the Middle Stage of Mahayana... truly monstrous! Your talent even surpasses mine back in the day!"

Mu Zhen Tian looked at Lin Chang’sheng with obvious satisfaction.

This brat was even more of a monster than he had been; handing down all his skills wouldn’t bring his legacy to ruin.

"You flatter me, Elder Sword Immortal!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied humbly.

Guo Yunchu, watching from afar, was completely and utterly dumbfounded.

Lin Chang’sheng had actually unraveled the restriction... and earned Mu Zhen Tian’s recognition?

So he was really about to inherit the Sword Immortal’s legacy?

If Lin Chang’sheng got the legacy, his future cultivation speed would become even more terrifying.

"Disabling one restriction only gets you one treasure. Whether you can get the rest is up to fate!"

As those words fell, Mu Zhen Tian’s apparition faded even further.

Perhaps leaving behind this wisp of soul was just to see, one last time, who would eventually inherit his legacy.

And now, this young man satisfied him immensely.

"Just one treasure?"

Lin Chang’sheng was puzzled; so far, all he’d gotten was a jade pendant!

But this pendant only produced Mu Zhen Tian’s remnant soul—where was the treasure?

"Indeed! I will now impart to you the Sword Immortal Technique. With it, entering the Immortal Realm will be a breeze!"

As he finished speaking, Mu Zhen Tian’s remnant soul turned into a stream of light and merged into Lin Chang’sheng’s mind.

Lin Chang’sheng instantly sensed an apparition in his mind wielding a blade, displaying a set of sword technique immortal arts.

The art refined both body and soul, containing not just a cultivation technique but sword moves as well—profound beyond compare.

[Demon Slayer Sword Immortal Technique Introduction!]

When the sword art demonstration ended, Lin Chang’sheng had already comprehended the basics of the technique.

Mu Zhen Tian’s remnant soul then dissipated after passing on the swordsmanship to Lin Chang’sheng.

[Demon Slayer Sword Immortal Technique detected. Spend 12,000 Immortal Crystals to simplify it?]

The panel popped up in the next moment.

"Simplify!"

This Sword Immortal’s immortal technique had to be anything but ordinary.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplification of Demon Slayer Sword Immortal Technique initiated... simplifying... simplification complete, Demon Slayer Sword Immortal Technique simplified into ’Demon Slayer’!]

"Demon Slayer?"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself. Did this sword art have the power to slay heart demons?

When a cultivator is about to break through to the Immortal Realm, potent heart demons spring forth, representing their deepest desires.

Legend says that to become immortal, one must first cut down their heart demons. Could this technique help with that?

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t immediately begin cultivating the technique, instead looking toward the other two boxes to see if they could be opened too.

One of the boxes was inscribed with the character ’Unity’.

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t quite understand the meaning, so he tried his old method—dripping blood onto it—but nothing happened.

"Could it require two people?"

Lin Chang’sheng wondered, glancing over at Guo Yunchu.

"Come here."

Lin Chang’sheng beckoned to Guo Yunchu.

Guo Yunchu pointed to herself in disbelief.

Lin Chang’sheng had just ordered her to stay away, and now he wanted her over? Was this guy for real?

Half-doubting, Guo Yunchu slowly walked over.

"What do you want?"

Guo Yunchu asked, confused.

Now that she was out of options, her attitude toward Lin Chang’sheng had softened considerably.

After all, Lin Chang’sheng had her life in his hands.

If she angered him, she’d be dead in a heartbeat.

Nobody wants to die, especially someone like Guo Yunchu, a prodigy from a giant power.

As long as she stayed alive, her future would be limitless.

"You drip a drop of blood on here. Let’s see what happens."

Lin Chang’sheng said bluntly.

"Me?"

Guo Yunchu was shocked—this guy wanted her to help him open a restriction and get a treasure?

"Problem?"

Lin Chang’sheng’s expression grew impatient.

Even though Guo Yunchu was unhappy, she still cut her finger and let a drop of blood fall on the box.

No point getting killed over saving face.

As the two drops of blood entered the restriction, a flash of light burst forth, and the box’s barrier started slowly unraveling.

"Did it work?"

Guo Yunchu couldn’t believe it—her blood had actually helped Lin Chang’sheng obtain a treasure?

This guy was getting far too lucky.

Lin Chang’sheng opened the box right away and saw that inside was a slender jade hairpin, colored a deep emerald.

This surprised Lin Chang’sheng.

Was this also a relic left by the Sword Immortal?

"Could that be the Immortal Ascension Hairpin?"

Guo Yunchu’s eyes widened at the sight of the green hairpin, her voice trembling with shock.

It’s said that Sword Immortal Mu Zhen Tian’s dao companion had been a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse—just a step from the Immortal Realm.

To give her a treasure, Mu Zhen Tian searched everywhere for materials worthy of crafting a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. In the end, he spent thirty years and journeyed through all the realms of the Immortal Domain before forging the Immortal Ascension Hairpin for her.

This was an Upper Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure—immensely powerful, second only to the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure itself.
