Soon, the news that Lin Chang’sheng had not fallen reached the ears of all the major Immortal Sects.
Some were jubilant, others furious.
The ones rejoicing were, naturally, the Immortal Palace and Divine Pill Pavilion.
Lin Chang’sheng, as a disciple of the Immortal Palace, would be their pride should he mature in the future.
So, the Immortal Palace hoped above all that Lin Chang’sheng could survive.
Meanwhile, with Lin Chang’sheng acting as Honored Guest Elder of the Divine Pill Pavilion—and being able to refine Holy Pills as soon as he made a move—
This was extremely important for the Divine Pill Pavilion as well.
If Lin Chang’sheng did not perish, it’s possible he could one day refine Divine Level Elixirs—the sheer potential is enormous.
But the most infuriated, by far, was the Heaven-Suppressing Sect.
Heaven-Suppressing Sect.
When Jin Qiandao learned that Lin Chang’sheng was still alive, the immortal power within him roiled uncontrollably, almost to the verge of rampage at any moment.
"Lin Chang’sheng is actually still alive?"
Jin Qiandao’s fists tensed, his brow furrowed—he could hardly believe it. Lin Chang’sheng actually survived the Qiankun Array Plate?
This array plate alone is enough to eliminate a Tribulation Crossing Stage expert; who would’ve thought Lin Chang’sheng would walk out alive?
Don’t tell me this brat is some kind of array master?
"Yes, Sect Leader. He also destroyed the Celestial Orchid Sect and seems to be heading toward the Demon Sea!"
The Ninth Elder answered truthfully.
He was no match for Lin Chang’sheng, so he didn’t dare chase him—he could only bring the news back and let the Sect Leader decide.
"Demon Sea?"
Jin Qiandao was slightly surprised. The Demon Sea is not something easily crossed; many Mahayana Stage cultivators have perished in it due to a single careless mistake.
Not to mention the frequent eruptions of Sea Demon Beast tides in the Demon Sea—endlessly perilous.
What is Lin Chang’sheng going there for? Seeking his own death?
"Precisely!"
The Ninth Elder replied.
"I want to see what kind of waves he thinks he can stir up. Have you notified Elder Tang?"
Jin Qiandao’s eyes flashed with cold light.
If not for being unable to leave the Heaven-Suppressing Sect so lightly, he might have gone himself to kill Lin Chang’sheng.
"Elder Tang is in closed-door breakthrough. We... we did not dare disturb him!"
The Ninth Elder said, a trace of nervousness in his voice.
This Elder Tang’s strength is only second to the Sect Leader in the Heaven-Suppressing Sect—his power is at the Peak of Late Stage Tribulation Crossing, just a hair away from crossing the bottleneck into Immortal Realm.
He had failed his breakthroughs several times, leaving Elder Tang irritable and easily provoked.
Other than the Sect Leader, whom he’d heed, anyone else who disturbed his cultivation would hardly escape punishment.
"You may go! I will inform him myself!"
As Jin Qiandao finished speaking, a translucent apparition flew out of his body, crossing thousands of mountains in an instant, arriving outside a mountain range cave dwelling.
"Tang Zhongming!"
Jin Qiandao called out.
His voice was deep and resonant, echoing for miles.
Rumble—
In the next moment, the entire mountain shuddered violently. A figure burst out from the summit, sending countless rocks flying.
Boom!
The silhouette landed before Jin Qiandao.
This person was broad-shouldered, his muscles knotty and bursting with strength.
His hair was wild and messy, but his gaze was razor sharp, filled with an icy glint.
"Sect Leader!"
Tang Zhongming pressed his palms together and bowed respectfully to Jin Qiandao. His hands were so large, each palm dwarfed his face, showing just how formidable his strength was.
"I know your secluded cultivation is not to be interrupted—but this task only you can handle. It might even help you break through your bottleneck!"
Jin Qiandao spoke slowly.
Early Stage Tribulation Crossing could do nothing against Lin Chang’sheng, but Late Stage Tribulation Crossing should be more than enough to crush him, no?
"Sect Leader, just give the order!"
Tang Zhongming replied.
Since Jin Qiandao had come straight to him, it meant the Heaven-Suppressing Sect had no one else to rely on.
And Jin Qiandao had helped Tang Zhongming greatly.
If not for Sect Leader Jin Qiandao, Tang Zhongming would not be what he was today—so anytime Jin Qiandao gave an order, Tang Zhongming would carry it out without hesitation.
Jin Qiandao then relayed the details about Lin Chang’sheng to Tang Zhongming.
As he listened, Tang Zhongming’s expression grew more and more astonished.
"Such a prodigy has actually appeared in the Immortal Realm?"
Tang Zhongming was utterly taken aback.
This kid could use Middle Stage Mahayana Cultivation to slaughter those in Tribulation Crossing—a truly terrifying talent.
"Go and kill this brat, and recover the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures for the sect. The treasures he holds should be enough for you to break through your bottleneck!"
Jin Qiandao’s gaze was venomous.
"Understood!"
Tang Zhongming responded, then shot up into the sky and vanished.
"Lin Chang’sheng, you’d better not die at the hands of the Immortal Martial Hall—otherwise, you’ll get off far too easy!"
After Tang Zhongming left, Jin Qiandao muttered in a low, menacing voice.
...
Just as the Heaven-Suppressing Sect dispatched Tang Zhongming to hunt Lin Chang’sheng, the Immortal Martial Hall also received word from the dark web.
"Lin Chang’sheng is headed to the Demon Sea? That brat’s really got a death wish!"
Upon hearing of Lin Chang’sheng, Guo Tiangang was quite surprised; he hadn’t expected the kid to not only keep a low profile but to openly show himself.
Seems he doesn’t care about us at all.
"Hall Master, Lin Chang’sheng dying in the Demon Sea is no big deal—but Miss Yunchu must not be harmed! According to our spies, Miss Yunchu is still safe and currently following Lin Chang’sheng!"
Zhang Yunhe said.
"That’s exactly what worries me. Gather all the experts who are close to the Demon Sea immediately—Lin Chang’sheng must be killed within the Immortal Sea Province!"
Guo Tiangang urged anxiously.
If Lin Chang’sheng gets into the Demon Sea, finding him will be much harder.
"Uh..."
This order made the Zhang Yunhe brothers hesitate.
After all, the Immortal Martial Hall had already sent out three Tribulation Crossing experts—and none succeeded in killing Lin Chang’sheng.
At this point, Early Stage Tribulation Crossing experts are likely unwilling to try anymore—they’d just be walking to their own deaths.
"Hall Master, that Lin Chang’sheng’s power is exceptional; I fear ordinary Early Stage Tribulation Crossing experts cannot kill him. Maybe Tributor Luo should be the one to handle this!"
