Chapter 517: Chapter 382: Supreme Sword Sect, Hidden Armory Cave, Seeking One’s Own Doom

At this moment, Lin Chang’sheng had already fled thirty thousand miles away.

Up ahead appeared a city named Immortal Monarch City.

Lin Chang’sheng used the Disguise Technique to alter his appearance, turning himself into a middle-aged man before entering the city.

This way, he wouldn’t draw much attention.

After all, his performance on the Celestial Pride List was way too dazzling.

"Good thing that Three-headed Ice and Fire Python was still evolving, otherwise snatching this Spirit Coffin would’ve been impossible!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself, now planning to find an inn for a little rest.

After all, running tens of thousands of miles had burned through a ton of Primordial Power.

Plus, he could check if there were any treasures inside the Spirit Coffin?

If there weren’t any treasures, this whole ordeal would be a waste.

Not to mention, that Three-headed Ice and Fire Python might remember his scent and chase him down.

"Unbelievable! The top spot on this year’s Celestial Pride List was actually taken by a young guy named Lin Chang’sheng!"

"Who *is* Lin Chang’sheng? He managed to defeat the Heavenly Prides from the Three Great Sects—just incredible!"

"Yeah! They say this young man has a freakish talent for cultivation—not only does he master Body Strengthening Techniques, he gets Arrays too. He even used Array Power to take down an Integration Stage Immortal Martial Hall prodigy!"

"This kid’s future potential is limitless!"

...

Lin Chang’sheng had just entered an inn called Immortal Residence when he saw lots of cultivators drinking and chatting nearby.

Plenty of people were listening in, completely engrossed.

Their whole conversation was basically about the Celestial Pride List.

This year’s list was a huge shock to them.

No one would’ve guessed the top spot would go not to someone from the Three Great Sects, but to a dark horse instead.

After booking a room, Lin Chang’sheng headed straight upstairs.

No one paid him any attention.

"Gotta recover my Primordial Power first!"

Lin Chang’sheng sat cross-legged on the bed, popped three Infinite Sacred Essence Pills to recharge his Primordial Power.

The effects of the three Holy Essence Pills were plenty to recover most of the Primordial Power he’d spent.

Once the pills hit his gut, waves of medicinal energy spread through his body, and Lin Chang’sheng activated the Void Divine King Technique, refining it further.

In just a stick of incense’s time, all the effects were absorbed.

And most of Lin Chang’sheng’s Primordial Power had already recovered.

"Let’s see if there are any treasures inside this Spirit Coffin?"

Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand and pulled the Spirit Coffin out from his Storage Space.

As soon as the Spirit Coffin appeared, waves of dense Spiritual Energy rolled out.

Who knows what kind of Spirit Wood this coffin was made of—even as a coffin, it still leaked Spiritual Energy like crazy.

Crack, crack—

Lin Chang’sheng pushed open the lid and found a middle-aged man lying peacefully inside.

The man’s mouth was framed by a beard, giving him a scholarly look.

But whether it was contact with air or leaking Spiritual Energy, his features suddenly decayed at once.

Blink of an eye, the body turned into a pile of White Bone.

"Senior, please don’t blame me! Please don’t blame me!"

Lin Chang’sheng apologized, then shifted his gaze to the ring in the skeleton’s hand.

Because aside from that ring, there was nothing else.

Maybe this ring worked like a Storage Bag, keeping stuff inside it.

"Please don’t let me down!"

Lin Chang’sheng took off the ring, then sent his Divine Sense into it.

Divine Sense entered the ring, and Lin Chang’sheng found himself in a vast expanse of bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest stretched endlessly, too far to see where it ended.

Rumble, rumble—

The next moment, the previously sunny sky exploded with thunder and lightning.

A human face flickered in and out of view under the lightning’s glow.

"Never thought the one who picked up my Spirit Coffin would be a youngster!"

Just as Lin Chang’sheng was confused, a voice like thunder rolled down from the sky.

"A Tribulation Crossing expert’s lingering will?"

Lin Chang’sheng thought inwardly.

"That’s right. I’m the lingering will of the Spirit Coffin’s owner. Since you obtained my Spirit Coffin, it means your talent is extraordinary. Now, I’ll give you two choices—first, accept my legacy and become a disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect; second, leave your Divine Sense here forever and sleep in this space with me!"

Amid bursts of lightning, the face spoke—the same face as the man Lin Chang’sheng had just seen inside the coffin.

Obviously, this lingering will really was the Spirit Coffin’s owner’s remnant.

"Supreme Sword Sect disciple?"

Lin Chang’sheng blinked in surprise. He’d never even heard of this Major Sect before.

"Exactly. So, are you willing? To be a disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect is every genius’s dream. Kid, you really got lucky!"

The lingering will spoke slowly.

"But I’ve already joined the Immortal Palace. Would it be appropriate to also be your Supreme Sword Sect disciple?"

Lin Chang’sheng replied. If joining Supreme Sword Sect meant inheriting its legacy, that sounded great to him.

"Immortal Palace?"

The lingering will hesitated. Though he wanted Lin Chang’sheng to commit wholeheartedly, Lin Chang’sheng already belonged to Immortal Palace—he’d have to count as a half-disciple, then.

Anyway, now that the coffin was opened, the lingering will couldn’t wait for another person.

"Fine, as long as you remember you’re a Supreme Sword Sect disciple! Are you willing to take me as your master and join the Supreme Sword Sect?"

The lingering will relented.

"Disciple Lin Chang’sheng is willing!"

Lin Chang’sheng agreed decisively. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Whatever, who knows if Supreme Sword Sect even exists anymore—if it does, he’s at best a half-disciple.

If trouble comes to Supreme Sword Sect down the line, he’d just help out a bit.

No reason to pass up a free legacy, right?

"Good! Now I’ll teach you the Supreme Sword Sect’s Cultivation Technique and Swordsmanship!"

With that, the lingering will turned into a beam of light and shot into Lin Chang’sheng’s Sea of Consciousness.
