Chapter 624 - 435: Fusion Immortal Technique, the Worries of the Great Immortal Sects

As the Void Primordial Technique circulated, the dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the surroundings surged wildly toward Lin Chang’sheng.

At this moment, Lin Chang’sheng seemed to have transformed into a massive vortex, relentlessly devouring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Fortunately, Xiaobai was still recuperating; if she sensed such rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here, she’d probably gobble it all up in one breath.

He had to absorb as much Spiritual Qi for his cultivation as possible before Xiaobai recovered.

...

Time passed in a blink; half a month had gone by.

During these two weeks, Spirit Mountain repeatedly demanded an explanation from the Seeking Immortal Palace.

Because Lin Chang’sheng had killed a Grand Elder and two Stewards of Spirit Mountain, and the issue hadn’t been resolved.

However, Yu Qianxue wasn’t planning on handing over Lin Chang’sheng, since he had signed a contract with Liu Jianxing—if Lin Chang’sheng died, Liu Jianxing would lose his life too, his Divine Soul wiped out.

So no matter what, Yu Qianxue would never give Lin Chang’sheng up, and tensions between Spirit Mountain and Immortal Palace were getting worse.

Spirit Mountain.

When Li Shihong learned Yu Qianxue not only refused to turn over Lin Chang’sheng but also sent him to cultivate in the Nine Dragon Cave Mansion, he became furious.

"Yu Qianxue, you arrogant fool! I’ll make your Immortal Palace pay for this!"

Inside the Spirit Mountain Great Hall, Li Shihong roared in anger.

The Sect Elders below all lowered their heads, afraid to say a word.

They knew Li Shihong’s temper well—best to stay silent when he was angry.

If anyone spoke the wrong word, they might lose their life right then and there.

"Sect Leader, what should we do next?"

Spirit Mountain Daoist asked.

This matter absolutely couldn’t just be left alone!

Otherwise, people would think they could slaughter Spirit Mountain’s disciples at will.

"Spread word that Lin Chang’sheng is an Evil Cultivator to the Ten Great Immortal Sects of the Realm, and have them pressure the Immortal Palace with us. Let’s see how long they can hold out."

Li Shihong answered coldly.

He’d planned this move all along. If Immortal Palace wants to protect Lin Chang’sheng, let’s see if they have the power to do it.

In the end, not only might they fail to protect Lin Chang’sheng, the whole Immortal Palace could get dragged down with him.

"Good! I’m on it!"

Spirit Mountain Daoist replied, delighted.

Soon, it might not just be Lin Chang’sheng in trouble—the whole Immortal Palace could be implicated.

...

One month later.

News that Lin Chang’sheng was an Evil Cultivator spread to every corner of the Immortal Realm.

Futian Province, Immortal Martial City.

This city was dazzling, packed with people and vehicles—a truly bustling sight.

Calling it a forest of high-rises wouldn’t be exaggeration; unlike typical cities with only a handful of floors, these buildings soared more than twenty or thirty stories, ornate and filled with a sanctity that dared not be defied.

At the very center lay a gigantic city-within-a-city.

This was the territory of the Immortal Martial Hall’s main headquarters.

At the end of the Great Hall, countless figures stood assembled. Seated highest was a middle-aged man, crowned, dressed in golden armor, radiating overwhelming authority.

The man had thick eyebrows and deep-set eyes, like the vast sky itself—impossible to challenge.

In his hand was a scepter symbolizing royal power, its tip adorned with an azure gemstone.

Waves of powerful energy rippled out from it.

At his side stood a beautiful young woman in her twenties.

Her face was gentle, her eyes lively, shoulder-length hair framing a graceful figure, with slender, jade-like hands that appeared untouched by hardship—not what you’d expect of a martial artist.

Most cultivators wield weapons all year; their hands are never this fair.

But from the Primordial Power radiating from her body, it was clear she wasn’t ordinary.

"Lin Chang’sheng is an Evil Cultivator? How come no one realized during the Celestial Pride List competition?"

"Maybe he hid it too well. No wonder his cultivation is so strong—he actually practiced an Evil Technique?"

"Exactly! We can’t let Evil Cultivators get a foothold in our Immortal Realm. He must be eliminated!"

"Yu Qianxue was always the smart one; hard to believe she’d lose her head now and shelter an Evil Cultivator. That’s beyond foolish!"

"The way she’s acting, she’ll end up dragging down the whole Immortal Palace!"

...

The elders of Immortal Martial Hall below all broke into heated discussion.

These cultivators were far from ordinary—the weakest were at the Mahayana Stage, and several were Tribulation Crossing Stage experts.

Each one, alone, could cause an entire region to tremble.

THUMP—

The middle-aged man atop struck his scepter, the impact instantly silencing all the elders below.

"This is only rumor for now. We need to investigate the truth!"

The middle-aged man spoke slowly, his powerful presence forcing all around him to lower their heads in silence.

Clearly, his authority in the hall was unmatched.

"Yunchu, you and Third Elder go investigate. If Lin Chang’sheng really is an Evil Cultivator, you have my permission to eliminate him on behalf of Immortal Martial Hall. If you can bring him back alive, all the better!"

His words echoed, making it clear that he was interested in meeting such a prodigy face-to-face—even if Lin Chang’sheng was an Evil Cultivator.

"Understood!"

A blue-robed middle-aged man replied respectfully.

This was Immortal Martial Hall’s Third Elder, He Jie, a Tribulation Crossing Early Stage expert.

"Yes!"

Guo Yunchu nodded in agreement, then left the hall with Third Elder, heading for Immortal Palace.

...

Shanhai Province.

This was a land of endless mountain ranges, stretching for millions of miles.

Demon Beasts roamed in abundance, with many Spirit Beasts appearing as well.

Bordering the sea, numerous Sea Demons would often cause trouble on land—thus the name.

Though the Spiritual Qi here was thick, small sects rarely dared settle in such a dangerous region.

If a powerful Spirit Beast appeared, the entire sect could face annihilation.

Thus, only powerful sects of the Immortal Realm dared to make their home here.

A total of three giant sects from the top ten of the Immortal Realm were stationed here.

Among them were the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, Piaomiao Sect, and the Infinite Immortal Sect.

With these three giants keeping order, Sea Demons didn’t dare run wild, and the region enjoyed peace.

But right now, in the Heaven-Suppressing Sect’s Great Hall, the elders of the three sects had gathered together.

All wore troubled expressions.

"Never thought Lin Chang’sheng would turn out to be an Evil Cultivator. That’s no blessing for our Immortal Realm!"

"Yes! If he’s a spy sent by the Demon Dao, and we helped him grow, we’ll end up hoisting ourselves on our own petard!"

"At least we found out early. Before he fully grows, it’s wisest to crush him now!"

"He’s not even fully grown and he already killed a Grand Elder from Spirit Mountain. Imagine what happens when he’s at full strength!"

"Yu Qianxue flat out refuses to hand him over. Looks like she’s determined to shield Lin Chang’sheng!"

"She doesn’t get to decide. Even if we war with Immortal Palace, Lin Chang’sheng must be destroyed; if not, once he matures he’ll be a disaster for us all!"

...

The elders around continued arguing, certain Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t be allowed to live.

His rapid growth unsettled them all.

This young, yet he could already kill Mahayana Stage experts.

If he hit the Mahayana Stage, even Tribulation Crossing experts might struggle to defeat him.

"Everyone, time is short. I propose every sect sends people to negotiate with Immortal Palace. If they refuse to see reason, we take action!"

Liao Wuji of Heaven-Suppressing Sect said calmly.

He’d led his disciples in the Celestial Pride List before, and always admired Lin Chang’sheng’s talent—but if he was an Evil Cultivator, he had to go.

If not, letting Lin Chang’sheng grow could bring disaster to the entire Immortal Realm.

"I agree with Elder Liao!"

"Me too!"

"Count me in!"

The three major sects quickly reached consensus and sent representatives to pressure Immortal Palace.

Similar scenes played out among the top ten sects of the Immortal Realm.

The result was the same everywhere—sects dispatched their strongest cultivators to the Immortal Palace.

Some wanted to verify if Lin Chang’sheng was truly an Evil Cultivator; others went with the aim of executing him.
