As this thought crossed his mind, Su Changkong formed a hand seal, instantly sending out more than a dozen Communication Talismans flying toward the twelve peaks!

........

Liuyun Immortal Sect.

Piaomiao Peak.

Ji Ruyan sat in the Elder's Great Hall. In front of her stood a stunning woman in purple, graceful and elegant—it was Gao Ziyue.

"Ziyue... That Nephew Lin Chang'sheng, to refine all Eight Great Heavenly and Earthly Qi by himself, and to be able to slay two Golden Cores at just Foundation Establishment Third Layer—that kind of achievement is truly astonishing!"

"This also shows how powerful the Heaven and Earth Qi is... Back then, I had hoped to retrieve Lin Chang'sheng and obtain a strand of Heaven and Earth Qi, to help you forge a Flawless Dao Foundation. What a pity..."

After Ji Ruyan had learned the details from Gao Ziyue about Lin Chang'sheng's slaying two Golden Cores, regret appeared on her face.

"Master, I've already established my Foundation, so Heaven and Earth Qi is no longer that important to me. As long as Brother Lin is safe, that's enough."

Gao Ziyue spoke with a solemn tone.

"Mm."

Ji Ruyan nodded and continued, "I've just come back from the Sect Leader's Hall. The Sect Leader instructed me to take people to look for Nephew Lin. A talent like Nephew Lin is the bright hope for Liuyun Immortal Sect's future and must be protected by the sect."

"And the Sect Leader has promised to bestow a Top Tier Treasure!"

"You and Nephew Lin are from the same place, and you two are familiar with each other. I plan to bring you along; hopefully, you can persuade him to return safely to the sect."

"Mm!"

"Alright, Master!"

Gao Ziyue nodded in response, but inside, she felt conflicted. She longed to see Lin Chang'sheng, but deep down, she was also somewhat worried.

That day, Brother Lin changed his appearance—he must have used the Disguise Technique.

If it hadn't been for the White Fox and its instant teleportation, she would not have recognized that the Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivator who slew two Golden Cores was actually Brother Lin.

.......

Golden Talisman Immortal Sect.

In the newly established sect quarters at the Eastern Wilderness.

A tall, refined young man sat cross-legged under a jujube tree in a spacious courtyard. Two young men and two young women stood by his side.

"Junior Brother Jin, disciples, this Lin Chang'sheng that's causing such a stir lately in the Cultivation Realm—do you all know him?"

Shi Hao looked at Tang Xing, Jin Yun, Su Ying, and Jiang Haixue in front of him and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Junior Martial Uncle Shi, a few years ago, when we were near Demon Evil Sea, ten thousand miles from here, we were hunted down by a demon cultivator. In the end, Senior Lin Chang'sheng saved us."

Jin Yun bowed to Shi Hao with a fist salute as he replied.

Currently, with the Beimu Immortal Race invading the Southern Realm, the sect had handed out all the Foundation Establishment Pills to disciples at Qi Cultivation Stage Ninth Layer. Jin Yun received one and, by sheer luck, succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

"Foundation Establishment Third Layer, and he killed two Golden Cores, plus he has a demon beast comparable to Early Stage Golden Core. I would love to meet him someday."

Jin Hao looked out to the distant sky, a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

Lately, all the Southern Realm—even the Demon Dao—are abuzz with rumors about Lin Chang'sheng.

The white fox by Lin Chang'sheng's side is rumored to teleport for thousands of miles. They even say the fox is a thousand-year-old fox spirit, maybe even a Demon Race Great Power.

Shi Hao, a heaven's pride disciple of the Golden Talisman Immortal Sect, had refined a strand of Heaven and Earth Qi. With his Cultivation at Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer, he held himself in high regard.

Hearing that Lin Chang'sheng could decapitate Golden Cores at only Foundation Establishment Third Layer, he felt compelled to witness it for himself.

"Go on, then!"

Shi Hao waved his hand to Jin Yun and the others, saying, "If you have any news about Lin Chang'sheng, report to me immediately."

"Yes!"

Jin Yun nodded, fist saluting Shi Hao, then left with Su Ying, Jiang Haixue, and Tang Xing.

.......

Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.

Giant Whale Immortal City.

Inside an opulent manor's great hall.

"Kid, I thought you'd already died."

"Didn't expect you not only survived, but you're thriving. Foundation Establishment Third Layer and able to slay two Golden Cores—that's the magic of refining eight Heaven and Earth Qi, huh?!"

A beautiful and graceful young woman in purple stared at the Communication Jade Scroll in her hand, surprise lighting her beautiful eyes.

"Hmph, you had the gall to spank my ass for several hours? We're SO settling this account!"

Wan Wushuang's face flushed with shame and anger as she recalled Lin Chang'sheng spanking her for hours in the brothel.

At the time, she'd only endured it to avoid pursuit from a few genius disciples of the Righteous Dao—had she not, she'd have beaten the hell out of that brat.

She remembered, back then, Lin Chang'sheng was just at the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Who'd have thought that in such a short time, his cultivation would reach Foundation Establishment Third Layer—and he'd become powerful enough to kill two Golden Cores and even command a demon beast at Golden Core Early Stage!

........

Jiuyuan Immortal City.

Joyful Tower, second floor.

A middle-aged man of medium build with a short mustache cuddled a beauty in his arms, his eyes half closed as if drifting between worlds.

"Hmm? Lin Chang'sheng?"

Suddenly the short-mustached man's eyes snapped open, shock sparkling within. He muttered, "That brat's not dead? Hahaha, I KNEW IT—he's not one to drop dead so easy!"

"Stole all eight Heaven and Earth Qi, Foundation Establishment Third Layer and he still managed to kill two Golden Cores! Damn impressive!"

Cao De roughly shoved the beauty away, his figure vanishing in a flicker.

The next moment, he appeared in the restaurant next door.

Just now, his divine sense swept the restaurant and overheard some cultivators gossiping about the current state of the cultivation world—and just happened to catch the rumors about Lin Chang'sheng.

........

At the border of the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm and Beimu Immortal Race.

On a remote cliff, thick vines shrouded a rocky wall, hiding a secret cave entrance.

This was where Lin Chang'sheng secluded himself for cultivation.

"Never thought this Celestial Radiance Flame Bow was actually an Ancient Treasure!"

"With this Celestial Radiance Flame Bow, my long-range attack power is covered. Now if I can find a Bow-type magic to fuse with it, the power of the Celestial Radiance Flame Bow will get thirty percent stronger!"

Lin Chang'sheng sat cross-legged on a stone pillow, running a hand over the heavy Celestial Radiance Flame Bow, anticipation in his eyes.

According to what he knew—

Ancient Treasures were different from Magical Treasures.

Ancient Treasures were treasures refined by Ancient Cultivators. Their power was equal to Magical Treasures, but couldn't be stored within the body.

This bow and arrow was an Ancient Treasure.

It had three layers of restrictions.

If the first layer was refined, it could unleash the power of Early Stage Golden Core!

If the second layer was refined, it could display the power of Golden Core Middle Stage!

If the third layer was refined, it could unleash the might of Golden Core Late Stage, even Peak!

Currently, Lin Chang'sheng had refined the first two layers.

"I wonder if that Corpse King Sect's Golden Core Peak is still chasing me?"

Lin Chang'sheng violently expanded his divine sense. His cultivation, having just broken through from near Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer to Sixth Layer, allowed his divine sense to extend an additional one hundred li, reaching seven hundred li!
