Tu Mu couldn't help but look at Lin Chang'sheng, holding onto a shred of hope in his heart.

He knew that Long Ping'an's strength far surpassed that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

If he could step in, he'd definitely be able to turn the tide!

"Rebellion? Heh. Tu Mu, you've sacrificed the tribe's interests to satisfy one man's selfish desires—you're not fit to lead our Cloud Map Tribe!"

"And you and Long Ping'an conspired together to deliver resources to the Fire Radiance Tribe—you're nothing but Fire Radiance's spies!"

"Now, Fourth Commander Shao Yicheng and I, on behalf of all our warriors, are seizing you both for public execution—to serve as a warning to the rest!"

Zhang Nian narrowed his eyes at Tu Mu, his voice low and cold.

"You!"

Hearing Zhang Nian's words, Tu Mu trembled all over with rage, but his True Qi couldn't rise at all. He was completely a sheep waiting for slaughter!

"Brother Shao, let's work together and take this bastard down!"

Zhang Nian turned, looking over at Lin Chang'sheng sitting cross-legged nearby, a triumphant smirk at the corner of his lips.

"Alright!"

Shao Yicheng nodded, gazing at Lin Chang'sheng as his fat body advanced, exuding an overwhelming pressure.

"Kid, Tu Mu's finished—are you going to surrender or not?"

Zhang Nian and Shao Yicheng sneered, one drew his sword, the other his blade, advancing.

"Trash!"

Lin Chang'sheng glared at the two, gave a cold snort, and in a flash appeared right in front of Zhang Nian—he threw a punch!

Boom—

Before Zhang Nian could react, a sharp, searing pain tore through his chest. Looking down, he saw a gaping, bowl-sized hole gushing blood!

"You... ah..."

Zhang Nian stared in horror at Shao Yicheng in the distance, his eyes filled with shock!

In his line of sight, Long Ping'an smacked Shao Yicheng's head into his chest with one palm—like he was crushing a watermelon!

"Killing Martial Arts Grandmasters… like slaughtering chickens…"

Watching Shao Yicheng die, Zhang Nian felt his own strength draining away, then he collapsed to the ground!

"What overwhelming strength!"

Tu Mu, sitting on the ground nearby, watched as Long Ping'an wiped out Zhang Nian and Shao Yicheng—two Martial Arts Grandmasters—in the blink of an eye!

He knew full well—

Zhang Nian had just reached the Peak of Martial Arts Grandmaster. Even he wasn't confident in beating Zhang Nian!

But such a powerful Zhang Nian was nothing but a chick in Long Ping'an's hands!

"Brother Tu, are you alright?"

Lin Chang'sheng looked to Tu Mu and asked.

"Thank you, brother! I… I should be fine, just can't muster any True Qi right now."

Tu Mu checked himself over, his gratitude toward Lin Chang'sheng overflowing.

"Mm, go take care of tribe affairs. I need to go into seclusion for a while."

Lin Chang'sheng spoke to Tu Mu.

He was about to cultivate the Refining God Skill, enhance his Divine Sense, open the Storage Bag, and start practicing the Vajra Bright King Body and Celestial Yang Qi Technique he found inside.

"Got it! Brother, don't worry about a thing. If you need anything, just ask Mo Yu."

Tu Mu nodded, turned, and left the hall.

.......

Cloud Map Tribe.

Zhuo Yijian, Zhang Aoxue, Yu Lingfei, Fu Qingyu, and the others stood beneath a hill, gazing off toward the bustling Cloud Map Tribe in the distance.

Just then, a young man of about twenty-four or twenty-five strode over quickly. He bowed respectfully to Zhuo Yijian and reported, "Senior Brother, two of the Cloud Map Tribe's Commanders are dead!"

"What? Which two Commanders are dead?"

Zhuo Yijian's face changed dramatically when he heard this.

He remembered—

The Cloud Map Tribe originally had Tu Mu, Zhang Nian, and Shao Yicheng as Commanders. Later, after they brought along the cultivator Long Ping'an—whose physical strength rivaled that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster—Tu Mu invited him to become the Fourth Commander.

"Zhang Nian and Shao Yicheng are dead."

Lin Yu bowed as he spoke.

"Zhang Nian? Shao Yicheng? Did Tu Mu kill them?"

Zhuo Yijian pressed further.

"No, it was Long Ping'an. I heard Zhang Nian and Shao Yicheng tried to depose Tu Mu, but Long Ping'an stepped in and killed them both in a single move."

Lin Yu's voice was low and steady.

"That Long Ping'an's physical strength is actually that insane?!"

At his junior's words, Zhuo Yijian looked utterly shocked.

Even though he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, without any Magical Power, he wasn't much stronger than an ordinary person.

But—

This Long Ping'an, who also cultivated body refinement, had a fleshly body tougher than a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

"That's incredible!"

"Daoist Long practically saved me with this!"

Yu Lingfei gazed at the distant great hall, her beautiful eyes full of awe and gratitude.

Zhang Nian had deluded himself, and now that he was dead, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Looks like we must invite Daoist Long along when we head to the Fire Radiance Dunes!"

Zhuo Yijian silently made up his mind.

.......

Time flew by.

Three months later—

"Three months, and my Divine Sense has finally reached a range of one zhang and five chi!"

"Now, I can finally retrieve the Vajra Bright King Body technique from the Storage Bag!"

Lin Chang'sheng sat cross-legged in the great hall, opening his eyes with a look of satisfaction, muttering under his breath.

Although—

Here, Divine Sense was suppressed, but the Refining God Skill was incredibly powerful. It was like moving forward through sludge. In three months, he'd cultivated his Divine Sense out to one zhang and five chi. No easy feat!

The most important thing was, he could finally open the Storage Bag now!

In this Spirit-Seizing Land, maximizing his strength had only benefits—no drawbacks!

Lin Chang'sheng pulled out the Storage Bag he'd taken from the Fire Radiance Tribe, searching through them until he found the one containing the Vajra Bright King Body, then wrapped it with his Divine Sense, delving inside instantly.

Shua!

Shua!

Two yellowed books appeared on the table before Lin Chang'sheng.

They were the Vajra Bright King Body and the Celestial Yang Qi Technique, along with three Tier Two Talismans: Water Arrow Talisman, Wind Blade Talisman, and Golden Saber Talisman.

"Let's check the other Storage Bags too, see if there are any more body refining techniques!"

Lin Chang'sheng thought, and began to check the rest.

Half an hour later—

"Nice, these are some gains!"

Lin Chang'sheng looked at the three body refining manuals in front of him, satisfaction written all over his face.

Vajra Bright King Body, Immovable Golden Buddha Technique, Dragon Elephant Technique.

He found these three body refining techniques in the Storage Bags of three different cultivators. As for other Foundation Establishment Techniques, there were five, and over fifty Qi Refining Techniques and spells.

He decided to cultivate the three body refining techniques first.

Lin Chang'sheng immediately picked up the Vajra Bright King Body and started reading it closely.

........

Demon Evil Sea.

Upon a massive, ghostly island, grand halls stood in rows, dark glazed tiles casting a stifling aura.

This place was the residence of Profound Court, the Celestial Ghost Sect's Golden Core Elder.

At this moment, Profound Court sat in the great hall, three figures kneeling before him—namely, Xuan Gu, Iron Eagle, and Tie Chou!

"You're telling me that bastard was sucked into the Celestial Pit vortex? But the marker on the Tracking Disc is still glowing—so he must still be alive!"

Profound Court's face was dark as night. After his eldest son's death—his body never recovered—he was tormented with grief.

"Father, I went to the Celestial Pit with my two senior brothers; that thief really was sucked in! The three of us waited around for more than ten days before coming back!"

"The Celestial Pit's pull is terrifying. Any Foundation Establishment Cultivator who gets close will be sucked right in!"

Xuan Gu was helpless. He wanted to avenge his big brother, but he was also terrified of dying!

"Useless! You're all useless! Take me to the Celestial Pit!"

"He killed my son—I will kill him!"

Profound Court shot to his feet, eyes burning with hatred, his voice ice-cold.

"Yes, father!"

Xuan Gu reluctantly nodded at once.

........

Cloud Map Tribe.

[Vajra Bright King Body—Entry Level]

"Finally reached entry level!"

Lin Chang'sheng sat in the great hall, looking at his own stats, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes.

He'd spent a day studying the Vajra Bright King Body to get in at entry level.
