Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 273 - 216: Two Thousand Years of Lifespan, Seizing Nie Buping’s Opportunity
The golden light melding into his Sea of Consciousness shot straight toward the two shadowy figures.
At first, the tiny figures seemed like empty shells, but with the infusion of golden light, they came alive in an instant.
Upon Lin Chang’sheng’s brow, the technique was at work, seemingly absorbing all sorts of martial moves.
One figure absorbed the Southern Realm’s cultivation techniques, while the other absorbed techniques from the Demon Evil Sea’s demonic path.
This struck Lin Chang’sheng as truly wondrous.
They absorbed for more than half an hour.
Only after this did the two figures finally settle down, sitting cross-legged in Lin Chang’sheng’s brow, motionless.
"I’ve finally reached the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Lin Chang’sheng opened his eyes and stood up, feeling like he’d undergone a bone-deep transformation, refreshed and clear-minded.
"My Divine Sense can actually reach a terrifying six thousand miles?"
Lin Chang’sheng unleashed his Divine Sense; with this sweep, it extended all the way to six thousand miles out.
This was six times stronger than most cultivators who had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
Ordinarily, fresh Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could only extend their Divine Sense up to a thousand miles.
Even a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator topped out at three thousand miles.
Perhaps it was due to Lin Chang’sheng’s powerful Divine Sense and his Dual Nascent Souls—the range had doubled.
[Cultivation Immortality Panel upgraded to Nascent Soul Level!]
Just as Lin Chang’sheng broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, a notification popped up on his panel.
"Let’s see how much my lifespan increased?"
Only now did Lin Chang’sheng remember to check his panel.
Back when he still had Yin Qi in his body, Lin Chang’sheng would check frequently.
Once the Yin Qi was expelled, he’d hardly bothered looking at the panel.
After all, at the Golden Core Stage, his lifespan had already neared a thousand years.
For him, that was pretty much immortality.
So he hadn’t bothered tracking changes in his lifespan.
But now that he broke through to Nascent Soul, Lin Chang’sheng really wanted to see how far his lifespan had climbed.
[Great Dao is Simple: Nascent Soul Level]
[Lin Chang’sheng: 25/2150]
[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage (Early Stage 1/5000)]

[Consume certain spirit stones to simplify cultivation techniques, magic, divine powers, etc.]
Seeing all this, Lin Chang’sheng was even more surprised.
He actually possessed more than two thousand years of lifespan?
But thinking it over, it made sense.
When Lin Chang’sheng first advanced to Golden Core Cultivator, his Flawless Golden Core body gave him close to a thousand-year lifespan—and every small realm advancement added more years.
Plus, with Double Flawless Nascent Souls, his lifespan was longer than other Nascent Soul cultivators.
A typical Early Stage Nascent Soul cultivator only had about a thousand years.
"Finally broke through—if I’d been any slower, all the treasures at Sea God Tower would’ve been snatched away!"
Xiaobai saw Lin Chang’sheng break through and immediately reminded him to hurry up.
"Relax, those treasures are ours; no one’s getting away with a single one!"
Lin Chang’sheng replied, brimming with confidence.
Now that he’d reached Nascent Soul Stage, his confidence soared.
Back when he was at Golden Core Late Stage, he could already battle Nascent Soul cultivators.
Now, with this breakthrough, even these powerful foes weren’t beyond his grasp.
"Thanks, Xiaobai! Here, catch!"
With that, Lin Chang’sheng tossed Xiaobai a pear.
Xiaobai happily started gnawing away.
"Looks like all the treasures in the Sixth Layer Space have already been cleaned out—we need to get to the Seventh Layer!"
Lin Chang’sheng emerged from the underground cavern, finding the rich spiritual energy in the Sixth Layer Space had vanished.
Apparently, while he’d been breaking through, all the demonic cultivators had arrived and plundered every last treasure, moving up to higher layers.
When Lin Chang’sheng got to the center of the Sixth Layer, he found a huge stone platform there.
Rings of mysterious patterns circled the platform.
As soon as Lin Chang’sheng stepped on it, a beam of white light descended from the heavens.
It transmitted Lin Chang’sheng straight up.
When Lin Chang’sheng opened his eyes again, he was already in the Seventh Layer Space.
No need to search—he just unleashed his Divine Sense: with a six-thousand-mile range, he enveloped the whole space instantly.
He soon discovered the entire Seventh Layer Space had been swept clean too, not a trace of spiritual energy left.
Lin Chang’sheng had no choice but to keep heading upward.
He finally caught up with the demonic cultivators at the Tenth Layer.
Lin Chang’sheng spread out his Divine Sense, locating all the major sects present.
For some reason, the Five Demon Evil Sea factions weren’t teaming up; instead, they’d split up to seek their fortunes.
"I’ll start with you first!"
Lin Chang’sheng sensed the closest target was the Corpse King Sect’s group.
They were just over a thousand miles away.
He instantly turned into a streak of light and sped toward the Corpse King Sect.
...
A thousand miles away.
Nie Buping was leading his disciples in an assault on an array outside a mountain range.
Within the mountain array was a cave, with threads of radiance constantly streaming out from inside.
No doubt about it—there had to be some extraordinary treasure in that cave.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be an array defending the entrance.
"Sect Leader, this array is incredibly tough; we’ve been hammering away for three hours and haven’t made a dent!"
Corpse King Sect Tributor Bai Ting was getting anxious.
If this kept up, chances were some other sect would discover the place.
Then their hard-won fortune would just be taken by someone else.
So Tributor Bai Ting hoped Nie Buping would step in and help break open the grand array sooner.
But Nie Buping had his concerns.
If he started blasting the array, he’d burn up his magical power.
And if things got dicey and his magical power ran dry, he could end up dead.
Especially now, when everyone was fighting for opportunity—anyone could attack you behind your back.
Before everyone entered Sea God Tower, the Five Demon Evil Sea sects were pretty close-knit.
But once inside, for the sake of seizing fortunes, they weren’t shy about going all out.
Nie Buping had actually found the corpse of a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator back in the Fourth Layer.
But the Four Major Sects blocked him in.
With no choice, Nie Buping had to give up.
But if he held back now, and the others came sniffing around, the fortune would slip through his fingers once again.
After thorough consideration, Nie Buping finally decided to take action.
Otherwise, he’d have made the whole journey into Sea God Tower for nothing.
"Break for me!"
A Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivator in action—the difference in power was obvious.
Even though Bai Ting’s cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Stage, he couldn’t compare with Nie Buping.
Nie Buping shattered the array with a single strike, cracking it open.
The second strike blasted it apart completely.
"Hope the treasures inside don’t disappoint me!"
Nie Buping muttered to himself—he’d spent thirty percent of his magical power just smashing that array.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
But just as Nie Buping was about to enter the cave and investigate—
Nine fiery arrows tore through the distant sky and shot toward him, blazing like comets.
