Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 578 - 412: Feelings Grow Over Time? Practicing Immortal Technique, Misunderstandings

Wu Hao spoke with a deep, heartfelt tone.

He had been cultivating for five thousand years, and only recently stepped into the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

The Immortal Body still seemed out of reach for him.

But he saw hope in Lin Chang’sheng, the potential in this kid was enormous, and he would definitely achieve great things in the future.

"A thousand years to achieve an Immortal Body? Father, aren’t you overestimating him a bit? There are countless cultivators in the Immortal Realm, those who can achieve the Immortal Body in a thousand years are rare as phoenix feathers!"

Wu Yue was a little incredulous.

"You might not believe me now, but this is the perfect time for you to really get to know him. Eventually you’ll understand! Your father would never hurt you!"

Wu Hao spoke earnestly.

Seeing her father say this, Wu Yue could only agree.

She planned to give Lin Chang’sheng a chance and see for herself.

...

Celestial Soaring Palace.

After Lin Chang’sheng and the others were brought here, Huang Peng activated a Grand Array, trapping all three inside.

"Lin Chang’sheng, don’t be ungrateful. To become Dao partners with the Princess is a blessing from several lifetimes! Of course, if you refuse, I won’t mind—the Divine Thunder Bow in your hands will end up being mine!"

With those words, Huang Peng turned and left without hesitation.

Once Huang Peng left, Lin Chang’sheng began surveying the entire Celestial Soaring Palace.

He discovered the palace was massive, and even contained an Alchemy Room, Divine Weapon Hall, Martial Arts Hall, and more.

It was clear Wu Hao placed great importance on cultivation.

No wonder the Imperial City could produce so many powerful individuals.

"What kind of scheme are you cooking up?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked Hou Shaojie.

His decision wasn’t about to change.

Even if he could delay for ten days or half a month, there was no way he was marrying her.

"Ten days or half a month is plenty of time for Big Bro to come up with a brilliant escape plan, right? Way better than fighting and burning bridges right away!"

Hou Shaojie joked with a grin.

If they’d started fighting back in that situation, it would’ve been a suicide mission—probably dead nine out of ten times, maybe all ten.

There’d be another chance to get away later.

Seeing Hou Shaojie’s confidence, Lin Chang’sheng dropped the subject.

It just so happened he needed some time for cultivation, to improve his Immortal Techniques and Elixirs.

"I need you guys to keep watch—I’m about to cultivate. If the princess comes, you know what to do!"

Lin Chang’sheng instructed.

Then he headed for the Martial Arts Hall.

The Martial Arts Hall was lined with all sorts of weapons. None were especially powerful Divine Soldiers, but all were magical treasures—perfect for training.

With this rare peace, Lin Chang’sheng pulled out the immortal techniques and pill formulas he’d taken from Qingfeng Cliff.

He found three Immortal Techniques worth practicing.

The Long Blade Wind-Breaking Technique, the Fierce Tiger Flipping Mountain Palm, and the Vajra Formless Skill.

Once he fully mastered all three, he could even merge them with his previous techniques.

This Long Blade Wind-Breaking Technique was a saber technique famous for its speed; at peak power, a single slash could release a thousand Blade Auras—crazy destructive force.

How could a major sect’s core immortal technique be anything ordinary?

[Long Blade Wind-Breaking Technique: Entry Level!]

[Fierce Tiger Flipping Mountain Palm: Entry Level!]

[Vajra Formless Skill: Entry Level!]

Three hours later, Lin Chang’sheng had trained all three Immortal Techniques to entry level.

[Detected: Long Blade Wind-Breaking Technique. Spend 6000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]

[Detected: Fierce Tiger Flipping Mountain Palm. Spend 5500 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]

[Detected: Vajra Formless Skill. Spend 6000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]

At once, the system panel popped up with prompts.

"Simplify!"

Lin Chang’sheng decisively chose to simplify each one.

In a flash, more than ten thousand Immortal Crystals vanished.

Good thing Lin Chang’sheng had gotten plenty from Qingfeng Cliff.

[Great Dao is Simple: Long Blade Wind-Breaking Technique Simplification starting... Simplifying... Simplification complete! Long Blade Wind-Breaking Technique == Swinging Blade to Cut Wind!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Fierce Tiger Flipping Mountain Palm Simplification starting... Simplifying... Simplification complete! Fierce Tiger Flipping Mountain Palm == Punching Fierce Tiger!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Vajra Formless Skill Simplification starting... Simplifying... Simplification complete! Vajra Formless Skill == Full Body Bathing in the Sun!]

"Swinging Blade to Cut Wind? Punching Fierce Tiger? Full Body Bathing in the Sun?"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself, these all sounded simple enough.

Cutting wind? Well, you need to be somewhere high up for there to be wind.

So Lin Chang’sheng left the Great Hall and climbed to the roof of the Martial Arts Hall, where a gentle breeze was blowing, and began to swing his long saber.

Long Blade Wind-Breaking Technique EXP +1!

Long Blade Wind-Breaking Technique EXP +1!

...

The EXP for Long Blade Wind-Breaking Technique was skyrocketing.

Next was Punching Fierce Tiger. Lin Chang’sheng carved the Chinese characters for "fierce tiger" on the roof, then started punching them.

Fierce Tiger Flipping Mountain Palm EXP +1!

Fierce Tiger Flipping Mountain Palm EXP +1!

...

Soon, Fierce Tiger Flipping Mountain Palm’s EXP was also rising like crazy.

Finally, it was time for Full Body Bathing in the Sun—which apparently meant just soaking up the sunshine.

But as Lin Chang’sheng gazed at the blazing sun overhead, he realized he was already soaking up sun, but his proficiency wasn’t increasing at all.

"Do I need to take my clothes off?"

Lin Chang’sheng wondered.

Thinking about it, Lin Chang’sheng went to find Hou Shaojie and asked him to take Zhao Shuang’Er out for a stroll.

Hou Shaojie was happy to do it—he’d love a little alone time with Zhao Shuang’Er.

With Zhao Shuang’Er gone, Lin Chang’sheng had no more scruples about getting completely undressed.

He sat cross-legged atop the Martial Arts Hall roof, wearing nothing, bathing in the sun.

Vajra Formless Skill EXP +1!

Vajra Formless Skill EXP +1!

...

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Chang’sheng was completely naked, soaking up sun, the Vajra Formless Skill’s EXP shot up insanely fast.

At this rate, by sunset, he could master all three Immortal Techniques to perfection.

But after only half an hour of practice, Lin Chang’sheng suddenly felt a pair of eyes on him from afar.

He squinted into the distance and spotted Wu Yue, eyes wide with disbelief, staring at him up on the rooftop.

Lin Chang’sheng’s heart skipped a beat.

Oh shit, there goes my innocence!

He’d thought Wu Yue wouldn’t show up so soon.

He hadn’t expected that after sending Hou Shaojie away, Wu Yue would show up moments later.

Lin Chang’sheng was scrambling to stand up and explain he wasn’t a pervert, and that it wasn’t what she thought.

But as he stood, he just looked more like a pervert, so he quickly threw on his clothes.

"S-Stay away from me!"

Seeing Lin Chang’sheng like this, Wu Yue wasn’t about to let him get any closer.

Her father raved about Lin Chang’sheng being a rare genius—well, people with weird fetishes like him were definitely rare.

Who sits topless (or naked!) on the rooftop for no reason?

And so high up! Afraid nobody would see him?

"It’s not what you think, I——"

"Save it! I know my father forcing you to marry me makes you uncomfortable, but you didn’t have to humiliate me like this! I may actually be older than you, but I’m also still pure!"

Wu Yue’s cheeks turned bright red—she was certain Lin Chang’sheng was acting out just to humiliate her and make her back out.

Wu Yue really wasn’t as old as Lin Chang’sheng thought—just a little over two hundred.

A bit over two hundred—honestly not much older than a normal person in their twenties, at least for cultivators at the Integration Stage.

"I was practicing an Immortal Technique! I had no idea you’d show up, Princess—it’s all a misunderstanding! I would never insult you!"

"And about the marriage—I’m sure my feelings are clear. I would never humiliate you in this way!"

Lin Chang’sheng explained.

He really didn’t want Wu Yue to think he was a pervert.

"Oh?"

Wu Yue was finally beginning to believe him a little.

"If that’s the case, you keep practicing! I’ll leave now!"

With that, Wu Yue hurried off.

But her heart was pounding like crazy.

Lin Chang’sheng’s physique was undeniable—his muscle definition was gorgeous.

Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t sure whether she believed him or not, but honestly, even if she didn’t, whatever.

He wasn’t going to marry her anyway.

"Big Bro, what just happened?"

The commotion caught Hou Shaojie’s attention; he rushed over, catching sight of Princess Wu Yue’s retreating figure.

"My innocence is lost!"

Lin Chang’sheng sighed.

"Lost your innocence? Wait, did you and the princess already...? No way! I just left with Xiaoshuang for a moment—don’t tell me you two finished the business that fast?"

Hou Shaojie’s eyes went wide with surprise.

That’s crazy fast!

"Get lost!"

Lin Chang’sheng kicked Hou Shaojie, "Tell Shuang’Er to rest up in her room. You stay here and keep watch—don’t let the princess near me again!"

Lin Chang’sheng was annoyed and went back to practicing.

When Hou Shaojie saw Lin Chang’sheng continuing his training on the rooftop, he suddenly realized what had just happened, and burst out laughing.
