Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 409 - 328: Ascension, The Collapse of the Immortal Path, Falling into the Land of Evil

Chapter 409: Chapter 328: Ascension, The Collapse of the Immortal Path, Falling into the Land of Evil

It was as if writing down their names was the same as placing them in the Book of Life and Death.

...

The same thing was happening inside the Golden Talisman Sect.

Some objected, some were in support.

In the end, more than ten disciples still volunteered to travel to the Immortal Realm.

At the same time, besides the disciples from the various Great Immortal Sects, some gifted loose cultivators also came to register.

Tu Yunfei, Mu Yunfeng, Gao Wei, and so on.

In an instant, all the Southern Realm prodigies gathered at the Immortal Ascension Sect.

...

Time flew by; five days quietly passed.

Today was the day to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

The major sects assembled within the Immortal Ascension Sect. Other than the major Immortal Sects, even some small sects and factions came to watch the spectacle.

This ascension to the Immortal Realm is not something you see every day—especially so many prodigies ascending together.

Lin Chang’sheng took a headcount: there were more than forty of them.

The Immortal Ascension Sect itself had six participants, including Cao De, Ling Caiyin, Xin Yun’Er, Li Muyun, and others.

Lin Chang’sheng himself hadn’t expected so many to turn out for his ascension to the Immortal Realm.

"Everyone, this is where we part ways. Should fate allow, we will meet again!"

Lin Chang’sheng cupped his fists and led the disciples set to journey to the Immortal Realm to a wide open space.

At Lin Chang’sheng’s side stood Yan Zhen and the Wine Sword Immortal, with many prodigious disciples arranged behind him.

Everyone’s hearts pounded with excitement—what was the Immortal Realm truly like?

They were filled with anticipation.

"If anyone wants to back out, there is still time. The Immortal Realm is fraught with danger—even I may not be able to guarantee your safety! To go is to gamble with death itself."

Lin Chang’sheng looked back at the young disciples, his voice slow and solemn.

Here, Lin Chang’sheng was renowned for his strength; but once they reached the Immortal Realm, he would have to start from scratch.

Within the Immortal Realm, Nascent Soul Cultivators walked everywhere; the prodigies were at least at the Divinity Transformation Stage, and some were peerless geniuses at the Void Refining Stage.

The various elders were Mahayana powerhouses.

Beside the many factions, there were also Spirit Beast Immortal Beasts capable of devouring hundreds of thousands of lives in a single bite.

Yet after Lin Chang’sheng finished speaking, not a single person chose to withdraw.

Seeing that, Lin Chang’sheng hesitated no longer.

Under Lin Chang’sheng’s control, the Void Divine Hall floated slowly before him, radiating dazzling beams of light.

Just some days ago, Lin Chang’sheng had finally refined the fourth layer of restrictions on the Void Divine Hall.

He could now unleash some of its powers—one of which was to break through the barrier of the Immortal Relic Land.

"Th-the Void Divine Hall? The Void Divine Hall is in Lin Chang’sheng’s hands? No wonder he said he could lead people to ascend the Immortal Realm! That’s the reason!"

"Exactly! I would never have guessed, Lin Chang’sheng to be so young and already to possess such a priceless treasure!"

"The Void Divine Hall is a true treasure of the Immortal Realm! If Lin Chang’sheng can master it, his future will know no bounds!"

"That’s right! So long as Lin Chang’sheng survives, maybe our Immortal Relic Land could produce a new immortal!"

...

The crowd was stunned when Lin Chang’sheng summoned the Void Divine Hall.

Void Divine Hall—an ultimate treasure, and yet Lin Chang’sheng had claimed it.

Buzz—

As Lin Chang’sheng channeled his primordial power, the Void Divine Hall burst forth with a dazzling beam, ten zhang wide, shooting skyward.

Rumble—

The light shot up to the clouds, as if crashing against the celestial barrier, unleashing a mighty roar.

Soon, a breach was blasted through the barrier imprisoning the Immortal Relic Land by that beam of light.

This monumental upheaval was visible to the entire Southern Realm.

Great Yu, Imperial Palace.

Yu Wenjing, arrayed in golden robes and crowned in a phoenix crown, sat poised upon the imperial throne.

The civil and military officials below were presenting their strategies, but Yu Wenjing, catching sight of the distant phenomenon, bolted outside without hesitation.

"Your Majesty!"

Jin Wuque called out.

The officials in the great hall were left dumbfounded by this sudden scene.

"This day has finally come! Chang’sheng, may we meet in the next life!"

Yu Wenjing stood outside the Imperial Palace Hall, gazing at the distant upheaval, as if she understood something profound.

Her heart inevitably tinged with melancholy.

That direction pointed toward Liuyun Immortal Sect’s domain.

Such a phenomenal upheaval could only mean Lin Chang’sheng was ascending to the Immortal Realm.

Still, remembering Lin Chang’sheng visiting her days before brought a small comfort; at least, they’d truly been together.

"Chang’sheng, may your journey be peaceful!"

Yu Wenjing murmured to herself.

She knew that she would likely never see Lin Chang’sheng again in this life.

The immortal road was long; sometimes a single seclusion could last a hundred years.

When he finally returned, perhaps she would be nothing but a pile of white bones.

"Th-this upheaval is caused by ascension to the Immortal Realm?"

Jin Wuque noticed the celestial anomaly in the distant sky and was deeply shocked.

No wonder Her Majesty rushed outside. She must want to see Lin Chang’sheng off.

"General Jin, do you think I have any chance of seeing Chang’sheng again?"

Yu Wenjing asked, reluctant to let go.

"Of course there is hope. Immortal Master Lin is a cultivation prodigy of our Southern Realm; so young, yet possessing such power. I believe, before too long, he will achieve the Great Dao and return—"

Jin Wuque himself felt this was unlikely, but couldn’t speak the truth; sometimes people just need hope.

"If only that were so!"

Recalling the days spent together with Lin Chang’sheng, Yu Wenjing couldn’t help but let a tear slip from the corner of her eye.

...

At the Immortal Ascension Sect, with the sky barrier shattered, Lin Chang’sheng encased the prodigies in primordial power, then stepped into the beam of light.

An overpowering force instantly propelled them out of the Immortal Relic Land; everything below shrank furiously away.

Until, finally, it all became just a tiny fragment and vanished from sight.

Looking out into the dark cosmos, fragments like these were everywhere.

Each fragment represented an Abandoned Land.

In these places, spiritual energy was thin, cultivation resources scarce; so they’d naturally been abandoned.

And yet, every thousand years, some of these Abandoned Lands would produce prodigies that left the Immortal Realm’s denizens gaping.

"Three thousand years... I’m finally going back!"

The Sword Elder was ecstatic. Once he returned to his peak, he’d make sure to flay the one who suppressed him, and ensure their soul would never reincarnate.

"Look—over there!"

A disciple cried out in surprise.

At his exclamation, everyone turned their eyes in that direction.

Off in the distance, a stunningly beautiful star river illuminated the otherwise dark sky.

"So beautiful!"

Gao Ziyue couldn’t help but exclaim.

"So there really is a star river—how unbelievable!"

Consort Ling sighed in astonishment. In the Immortal Relic Land, all they ever saw were scattered stars; a dazzling star river like this was rare indeed.

Rumble—

But even as everyone was entranced by the splendor of the star river, the passage transporting them to the Immortal Realm suddenly jolted violently.

A massive creature had collided headlong with the transmission beam carrying Lin Chang’sheng and the others.

The path to the Immortal Realm was instantly blocked.

"Wh-what’s happening?"

Zhuo Yijian exclaimed in alarm.

Soon, they felt as if the passage had lost its connection to the Immortal Realm.

"This is serious—it’s a Void Giant Beast! It’s just severed the path to the Immortal Realm. That doesn’t make sense! These Void Giant Beasts don’t show up here for no reason!"

The Sword Elder said in astonishment.

He’d thought he was finally going home, but something unexpected had happened halfway through.

"So what do we do now?"

Lin Chang’sheng had never experienced anything like this before. For a moment, he was at a loss—how did he always end up in such extraordinary trouble?

"We can use the remnant power of the Void Divine Hall to teleport to the nearest Immortal Relic Land. If the passage collapses and leaves us in the void, we’re doomed."

The Sword Elder reminded them urgently.

With no better option, Lin Chang’sheng began searching the neighboring Relic Lands.

Finally, he locked onto a relatively close Abandoned Land.

Buzz—

Lin Chang’sheng activated the remaining power of the Void Divine Hall and teleported the group.

When they landed, they found themselves not in the Immortal Realm, but in another Immortal Relic Land.

This land was more treacherous than the one they’d grown up in.

The sky here was choked with dark clouds, drizzling constantly, and the ground below was a muddy mess—hardly fit for human habitation.

But not far away, Lin Chang’sheng and the others spotted a massive city.

"Land of Evil!"

The Sword Elder muttered, as though he’d been here before—back then, he’d come to chase someone down.

But in the end, the dangers of the land had forced him to abort the mission.

"You’ve been here before?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked curiously, sensing something off about the place.

"You’d best have the Void Divine Hall absorb spiritual energy and get us out of here, fast!"

The Sword Elder didn’t elaborate, afraid that saying too much would cause panic.
