Free Web NovelChapter 677: Chapter 462: Void Divine Essence Technique, Cultivation Breakthrough Again
"Is there anything else you’re hiding? Don’t wait until I start making you talk—by then it’ll be too late!"
Lin Chang’sheng looked at the Celestial Ghost Elder, a cruel, cold smirk curling at his lips.
"No, nothing, I’ve told you everything I know!"
The Celestial Ghost Elder’s heart was pounding as he stared at Lin Chang’sheng—this bastard really doesn’t pull his punches, every hit comes at full force.
If he hadn’t been confined inside the Holy Soul Banner, he’d have been obliterated already, soul scattered, never to reincarnate.
"I think you’re still hiding something from me!"
Lin Chang’sheng hoisted up the Myriad Mountains Hammer again, ready to loosen the Celestial Ghost Elder’s bones a little more.
Truth be told, Lin Chang’sheng just wanted to farm some skill proficiency from the guy—this was all just an excuse.
"Really, I swear—ahhh—!"
The Celestial Ghost Elder was beyond aggrieved!
He hadn’t even finished his sentence before Lin Chang’sheng slammed the Myriad Mountains Hammer down on him, sending him flying with a miserable scream.
But Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t anywhere close to done—he just kept up the savage beating.
Celestial Ghost Soul Devouring Technique experience points +1!
Celestial Thunder Hurricane Hammer experience points +1!
...
The proficiency for the two Immortal Techniques ticked up steadily.
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk—!"
Just as Lin Chang’sheng was getting into the groove, the Celestial Ghost Elder raised a hand in surrender.
He did, in fact, have a secret he’d buried deep inside, planning to go after it himself once his cultivation was higher.
But now, there was no way out but to spill it.
"Speak!"
Lin Chang’sheng was a little surprised—this old bastard actually still had secrets he hadn’t told him?
"In the Demon Sea, there’s a hidden Demon Cave that appears once every three hundred years. Only the elders and sect leaders of the major sects in Demon Sea know about it, few in the whole Cultivation Realm do. Rumor has it, countless powerful cultivators were buried inside, treasures beyond counting—and in ten years, the cave will open again!"
The Celestial Ghost Elder blurted out everything he knew, hoping Lin Chang’sheng would finally let him go.
"You’re not trying to trick me into walking into a death trap, are you?"
Lin Chang’sheng gave a cold laugh. Unexpected jackpot—maybe there really were rare treasures in that cave.
And with ten years to go, he could steadily cultivate.
Who knows? By then, he might have the strength to go toe-to-toe with Immortal Realm experts.
"I swear it’s all true! If I’m lying, may the heavens strike me dead on the spot!"
Seeing that Lin Chang’sheng didn’t quite believe him, the Celestial Ghost Elder swore a vicious oath to prove his sincerity.
"Good! You got any other secrets?"
Lin Chang’sheng pressed him further.
The Celestial Ghost Elder just shook his head desperately.
"I think you’re still hiding something!"
Lin Chang’sheng raised the heavy hammer again, unleashing another round of savage blows on the Celestial Ghost Elder.
The Celestial Ghost Elder just couldn’t understand—he’d already told Lin Chang’sheng everything he knew, so why wouldn’t the guy let him off?
How could he have known that Lin Chang’sheng was just using him for skill grinding?
[Celestial Ghost Soul Devouring Technique: Perfection!]
[Celestial Thunder Hurricane Hammer: Perfection!]
Finally, after enduring Lin Chang’sheng’s relentless pummeling for more than three hours, the two Immortal Techniques both reached perfection.
By now, the Celestial Ghost Elder was barely recognizable as anything resembling a ghost—he looked absolutely pitiful.
"Looks like you really don’t have any more secrets. Get in!"
Lin Chang’sheng said with a grin.
The Celestial Ghost Elder was so relieved he nearly cried for joy, darting back into the Holy Soul Banner as fast as he could.
Terrified that Lin Chang’sheng might change his mind and continue torturing him.
Once the Celestial Ghost Elder returned to the Holy Soul Banner, a crowd of Divine Souls gathered around, seeing the elder’s miserable state and knowing he’d been through hell outside.
The Celestial Ghost Elder spilled the whole story of Lin Chang’sheng beating him senseless, shocking the other Divine Souls.
"Lin Chang’sheng is that ruthless and vicious?"
He Jie’s heart blazed with anger—no way Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t an evil cultivator, that’s for sure.
"Looks like we have to figure out a way to escape, or the next one getting tortured will be us!"
Gao Yao said anxiously.
But trapped in the Holy Soul Banner, escaping was far easier said than done.
"Fellows, what’s truly terrifying is that Lin Chang’sheng cultivates the Celestial Ghost Soul Devouring Technique. Before long, he may swallow our divine soul power to advance his own cultivation!"
The Celestial Ghost Elder spoke out his greatest fear.
Trapped here, at least there was slim hope to wait for a chance to escape.
If Lin Chang’sheng devoured them, they’d be doomed for eternity—no hope for rebirth.
"What? He’ll drain our divine soul power to boost his cultivation?"
He Jie was shocked to the core. He’d been hoping to escape the Holy Soul Banner, but now it seemed all for nothing.
"Yeah! The Celestial Ghost Soul Devouring Technique is an evil, insidious cultivation technique. If he masters it, we’re all—"
The Celestial Ghost Elder knew this technique better than anyone.
He’d planned to snatch the Soul Banner from Lin Chang’sheng to help his own cultivation, but now it was he who’d become one of the spirits to be consumed by Lin Chang’sheng.
"What are we supposed to do?"
Gao Yao was frantic—having died as a dignified Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse in such an ignominious fashion, he was ten thousand times unwilling to accept it.
...
[Detected: Celestial Ghost Soul Devouring Technique (Perfection), Void Sacred Origin Technique (Perfection)—would you like to fuse the two Immortal Techniques?]
[Detected: Celestial Thunder Hurricane Hammer (Perfection), Sword Qi Soaring to the Heavens (Perfection)—would you like to fuse the two Immortal Techniques?]
Just as Lin Chang’sheng perfected his two Immortal Techniques, the system window popped up again.
"Fuse!"
Lin Chang’sheng instantly chose to fuse them.
[Celestial Ghost Soul Devouring Technique (Perfection), Void Sacred Origin Technique (Perfection), fusion commencing... fusing... fusion complete. You have acquired a new Immortal Technique: Void Divine Essence Technique!]
[Celestial Thunder Hurricane Hammer (Perfection), Sword Qi Soaring to the Heavens (Perfection), fusion commencing... fusing... fusion complete. You have acquired a new Immortal Technique: Celestial Thunder Godslaying Slash!]
"Void Divine Essence Technique? Celestial Thunder Godslaying Slash?"
Lin Chang’sheng mused to himself—these two new Immortal Techniques had to be something else.
