Lin Chang'sheng swept his gaze across the crowd of cultivators, his figure flashed as he landed on the two-zhang-high platform atop the stone pillar, and sat down cross-legged, minding his own business.

He stretched out his hand and instantly collected Yin Feng's storage bag.

A palm wind swept out, knocking Yin Feng's corpse off the stone pillar.

"Boom!"

A fireball the size of a human head shot from Lin Chang'sheng's hand, landing on Yin Feng's body. In an instant, Yin Feng was engulfed in flames, and not long after, was reduced to a pile of ashes.

"So strong! With Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer cultivation, he killed a Foundation Establishment Peak instantly!"

"That kind of power! Holy crap! Is he some prodigy disciple from a major sect? How come I've never heard of him before?"

"His body's insanely tough! Facing that Beimu Foundation Establishment Peak's Talisman Treasure, he actually rebounded and counter-killed it, I'd say his physique's on par with a Golden Core Stage Magical Treasure!"

"........"

Seeing Lin Chang'sheng turn things around in an instant and kill the Beimu cultivator, everyone at the scene was in utter shock, murmuring among themselves.

Everyone began speculating about Lin Chang'sheng's identity.

At this moment,

Sitting a hundred zhang away from Lin Chang'sheng, a female cultivator wearing a green dress, breathtakingly beautiful, with an exotic air, turquoise eyes and black hair, Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, gave Lin Chang'sheng a deep look. She exchanged glances with the golden-robed youth beside her, who was also Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, her eyes narrowed, but she didn't make any further moves.

"Saint Heir, do you have confidence if you face him?"

In secret, the green-dressed female cultivator sent a voice transmission to the golden-robed youth.

"Sixty percent chance I could kill him! But right now, it's crucial for us to enter the Enlightenment Hall. Can't lose the big for the small! Since he dared kill my Beimu cultivator, I'll definitely slaughter him!"

Su Mu, Beimu Saint Heir, had a fleeting killing intent in his eyes as he replied by voice transmission.

"Yeah, that guy's scary. His body strength could actually withstand Yin Feng's Talisman Treasure!"

"Let's secure the stone pillar for the Enlightenment Hall first!"

The Beimu Saintess, Bai People, had shock flash in her eyes.

You have to know,

Yin Feng's Talisman Treasure was thirty percent of the Profound Yin Needle's power, and this cultivator punched it back. His physique's probably on Golden Core Stage level!

"Mm."

Su Mu nodded.

.......

"Yin Feng was pretty loaded!"

"Clearly, you need some windfall money to get rich!"

Lin Chang'sheng's divine sense instantly probed into Yin Feng's storage bag. Right away, he saw at least 100,000 spirit stones inside!

Nearly on par with the loot from Golden Core cultivator Jian Shaowu back in the day!

"True Essence Pills! Forty of them!"

Lin Chang'sheng scanned the pile of porcelain bottles in the storage bag and found eight bottles of True Essence Pills, five per bottle. These were perfect for cultivators above Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

There were also twenty-some talismans, though all Tier Two. Not much help for Lin Chang'sheng at the moment, but if triggered together, could be useful.

Plus, there were lots of demon beast materials, spirit medicine, five or six low-to-mid grade spiritual artifacts, and a jade scroll for the "Golden Light Escape" Light Body Technique.

"Turns out Gu Benchang was pretty well-off too!"

Lin Chang'sheng pulled out Gu Benchang's storage bag from outside the Five Elements Spirit Summoning Array. His divine sense swept in and his eyes revealed satisfaction.

Inside, 80,000 spirit stones, 30 True Essence Pills, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique—Cloud Destruction Technique—and even a carefully preserved sandalwood box.

"What's inside this?"

Lin Chang'sheng eyed the box, curiosity piqued. Divine sense scanned it as it appeared in his hand. Opening it, he found a yellowed jade scroll, two inches long, one inch wide.

Lin Chang'sheng picked up the jade scroll, wrapping it with his divine sense.

Right now, his divine sense was equivalent to the Middle Stage of Golden Core, so checking jade scrolls and the like didn't even require getting close to his brow.

He could just invade directly. It was super convenient.

"Hm? Golden Core Stage Body Technique Divine Power—'Within Arm's Reach'?"

Lin Chang'sheng's eyes flashed, light flickering in them.

He hadn't expected to find something this good in Gu Benchang's storage bag.

Currently,

Lin Chang'sheng didn't have Golden Core cultivation yet, but his divine sense and body were both at Middle Stage Golden Core level—he could totally cultivate this.

And,

He just had to reach entry level, then simplify it afterwards, right?

With that thought, Lin Chang'sheng immediately delved his divine sense into it to check the cultivation method.

At the same time,

He took out a True Essence Pill, tossed it into his mouth, ran the Five Elements Soul Refining Technique, absorbed its medicinal power, and watched his experience points tick up, waiting for the Enlightenment Hall to open.

Time passed.

Half an hour later, Lin Chang'sheng's panel popped up a red notification.

[Within Arm's Reach (Entry 0/1000)]

"Well, finally entry level!"

Lin Chang'sheng looked at the panel notification, satisfaction in his eyes.

[Detected Golden Core Level Light Body Divine Power: Within Arm's Reach. Spend 1,000 spirit stones to simplify it. Simplify?]

Just then, Lin Chang'sheng's panel popped up another red notification.

"Simplify!"

Lin Chang'sheng tapped confirm right away.

[Great Dao is Simple: Golden Core Level Light Body Divine Power 'Within Arm's Reach' is being simplified... Simplification successful... Within Arm's Reach = Use a ruler to measure length!]

When Lin Chang'sheng clicked confirm, his panel flashed a red notification.

"Hm? Simplified to 'use a ruler to measure length?' Measure what exactly?"

Seeing this result, Lin Chang'sheng was frankly surprised, eyes flickering, and his thoughts wandered a bit.

Lin Chang'sheng looked down quietly; deep down, he was always pretty confident in himself.

"Measuring length... but I don't have a ruler. Kinda awkward... Wait, why not just make one myself?"

Lin Chang'sheng switched gears, thinking to himself.

Given his current cultivation and divine sense, whittling a ruler out of a branch was child's play!

Plus, he had wood sitting around in his storage bag already.

So,

Lin Chang'sheng took out a Magical Artifact Blade and a branch, and started whittling away. At the same time, he carved marks with his divine sense. Soon, a ruler approximately three feet long and an inch wide was finished.

"Let's measure the length of my foot first!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'sheng started measuring his own foot. Obviously, in full view of the crowd, he wasn't about to measure the length of his, uh, other 'brother'—that'd be way too much.

Within Arm's Reach EXP +1!

Within Arm's Reach EXP +1!

......

"Yep, works perfectly!"

Hearing that red panel notification, Lin Chang'sheng's eyes lit up. He kept measuring, totally engrossed. Right now, his Three Thousand Thunder Moves no longer matched his current power.

So, this 'Within Arm's Reach' had to hit Perfection. It'd level up his speed significantly.

While Lin Chang'sheng was measuring his own foot, cultivators from all sides kept arriving, rushing forward to challenge for a spot on the stone pillar!

Cultivators kept failing and getting killed—or succeeded and claimed a spot.

Lin Chang'sheng saw quite a few familiar faces: Yu Lingfei, Zhuo Yijian, Zhang Aoxue, all showed up.

Liuyun Immortal Sect's Xin Yun'Er and Gao Ziyue arrived outside the Enlightenment Hall too.

And,

With all these Southern Realm, Demon Evil Sea, and Beimu prodigies gathering, the fight for the Enlightenment Hall stone pillars got even more brutal!

More intense by the minute!

"Yo, looks like there's still a Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer cultivator here. Sitting on the pot without taking a dump, huh?"

"Get down before I make you! Don't let me do it myself!"

Just as Lin Chang'sheng was measuring his foot, a cocky, arrogant voice rang out from about ten zhang away.

Lin Chang'sheng looked up, eyes narrowing.

The speaker was a tall, upturned-nose guy in a red robe with fire patterns on the shoulders, Foundation Establishment Peak, looking straight at him.

Behind him stood three more cultivators, all Foundation Establishment Peak.

Lin Chang'sheng ignored him, and kept measuring his foot.
