Lin Chang’sheng simply nodded, and Gu Shan’s heart filled with even more shock and awe.
Not only did Lin Chang’sheng possess an astonishing cultivation talent, but he could even refine corpse puppets at a whole great realm above his own cultivation—completely unbelievable.
If Lin Chang’sheng were to reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage, wouldn’t that mean he could refine an Immortal Corpse?
"What a monster!"
Gu Shan thought to himself, his fear of Lin Chang’sheng deepening a bit more.
Soon after, Lin Chang’sheng retracted his corpse puppet, and the group said no more as they quickly hurried toward the Heaven-Reaching Sect.
The Heaven-Reaching Sect was located within Spiritual Spring Province, still more than two hundred thousand miles away from here.
Before setting out, Gu Shan had already gotten information from the Mou Family Patriarch.
If everything went smoothly, they could arrive in less than half a month.
Lin Chang’sheng had thought there’d be some trouble along the way, but the journey ended up completely obstacle-free.
He didn’t even get a chance to use his corpse puppet.
"The Heaven-Reaching Sect is actually built on a divine tree?"
Lin Chang’sheng had assumed the Heaven-Reaching Sect stood atop a mountain range.
But when he finally arrived at the Heaven-Reaching Sect, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
The entire massive sect was built atop a gigantic vine.
The vine was as large as a mountain, stretching all the way to the horizon, with no visible end in sight.
Even when Lin Chang’sheng tried probing it with his divine thought, he couldn’t sense where it ended.
This showed just how tall the vine was—easily surpassing seventy thousand miles in height.
"Stop right there! Outsiders are not allowed into the Heaven-Reaching Sect!"
Just as Guo Yunchu was about to enter the Heaven-Reaching Sect, a group of disciples blocked her way.
There were about a dozen disciples, all with cultivation at the Early Stage of Void Refining—some even lower.
"Why don’t you open your damn eyes and see who I am?"
Guo Yunchu said impatiently.
"Like I care who you are? Even if the Celestial Emperor himself showed up, you’re not coming in here without permission!"
One disciple from the Heaven-Reaching Sect scoffed.
Trying to scare him, huh? At least use your strength—cripples with broken meridians don’t scare him one bit.
"You—"
Guo Yunchu was fuming. "I’m the daughter of the Immortal Martial Hall Master! I want to see your sect leader—now get out of my way!"
Guo Yunchu shouted at the sect disciples.
Lin Chang’sheng saw Guo Yunchu’s attitude and couldn’t help but remember how she’d treated him before—same arrogance, just like now.
If you’ve got the strength to be arrogant, people might fear you a little; but if you’ve got nothing, they’ll just take you for a fool.
"The daughter of the Immortal Martial Hall Master?"
Just as Lin Chang’sheng expected, the Heaven-Reaching Sect disciples nearby started laughing out loud when they heard her.
They’d never met the Hall Master’s daughter, but a prodigy of that status surely wouldn’t be weak.
Yet the woman before them had broken meridians, not a trace of cultivation—how could she possibly be the Hall Master’s daughter?
"If you’re the Hall Master’s daughter, then I’m the Hall Master’s son! Who can’t brag? Get the hell out of here, or don’t blame me for being merciless with my sword!"
The Heaven-Reaching Sect disciple snorted, his expression turning unpleasant.
They really had no patience to waste more words on a cripple like Guo Yunchu.
"What did you say?"
Hearing that, Guo Yunchu got even angrier.
Fine if they didn’t believe her, but this punk even dared insult her father.
"Didn’t hear me the first time? If your ears are bad, I can say it again. If you’re the Hall Master’s daughter, then I’m the Hall Master’s—"
Thud—
Before the disciple could finish, Lin Chang’sheng pointed a finger, piercing straight through his chest and sending up a spray of blood.
The disciple was killed instantly.
Someone at the Void Refining Stage was nothing in front of Lin Chang’sheng.
Killing them was as easy as squashing an ant.
If a problem can be solved with force, don’t waste your breath.
"M-murder! Someone’s killing people—"
The watching disciples were instantly terrified. They hadn’t expected Lin Chang’sheng to just kill their Void Refining senior brother with a wave of his hand—how could they possibly be a match?
"Talk shit, get hit—he deserved it. Now go fetch your sect leader to come out and apologize, or I’ll burn your whole sect to the ground."
Seeing that the disciple who’d mouthed off had just died, Guo Yunchu finally felt a bit better.
"Let’s just go in. What are we waiting for?"
Lin Chang’sheng had no patience to wait around; he picked up Guo Yunchu and strode straight for the Heaven-Reaching Sect’s Great Hall.
Gu Shan hurried along behind them.
Inside the Heaven-Reaching Sect’s Sect Leader’s Hall—
At this moment, an old man, white-haired and dressed in white, sat on the high seat.
This was the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Reaching Sect, named Bai Baihe—a peak expert at the Middle Stage of Tribulation Crossing.
Below Bai Baihe sat two elders.
One elder was extraordinarily fat, the other was surprisingly skinny.
The three of them were deep in discussion about something.
Just then, several disciples hurried inside.
"S-sect leader, it’s bad—three people are outside saying they want to destroy our Heaven-Reaching Sect!"
A Mountain Guardian Disciple rushed into the hall, exaggerating the situation dramatically.
He hoped the sect elders would go out and crush Lin Chang’sheng’s group at once.
"What? There’s actually such a thing?"
At this, the fat elder became visibly displeased.
His Heaven-Reaching Sect might not be on par with the very top giant powers, but it wasn’t anyone’s punching bag.
"Everything the disciple said is true! They forced their way into the sect, Senior Brother Gao stopped them and was killed by them!"
Another disciple added more slander.
"Who dares to be so arrogant? Do they take my Heaven-Reaching Sect for nothing? I’ll go destroy them myself!"
The fat Third Elder roared in anger, slapped his seat, and stood up, ready to wipe out the intruders with his own hands.
