I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 97: Steady Improvement

"However, Luck's realm has slowed down. There are over a hundred people in the Green Sparrow division of the Purple Garden, and the last time I just entered the top fifty, I wonder how many places I can advance this time," Chen Shen thought to himself.

He stepped out of the courtyard, heading towards the quarterly debate competition.

Since the last Three Kings Debate, he hadn't buried anyone else.

But he wasn't in a hurry. It was a good time to cultivate with Luck and settle down for a while.

At the debate arena, the White Goose Debate was in progress.

Among the Luck division of the White Goose, Zhang Ping had a faint level of dominance, but compared to Chen Shen, he still fell short and couldn't consistently secure first place.

"I wonder if Zhang Ping can win first place again this time. He has already won first place twice in a row. Whether he can achieve the Triple Crown depends on today."

"The Triple Crown? It's been a long time since I've heard that title. If someone in the White Goose division could win first place for three consecutive quarters, they would probably boast for a long time. Unfortunately, after Chen Shen rose to prominence, all of this became unimportant."

"Yes, it's unimportant. Look at Zhang Ping, he doesn't even have high expectations for himself. I doubt he can reach the level of Chen Shen, let alone feel satisfied with being a Ten Crown Champion."

Underneath the stage, a group of Luck practitioners were discussing among themselves.

An hour later, Zhang Ping really achieved his first-ever three consecutive wins in his life, but he showed no joy or sorrow.

"It's our turn now. I wonder who will take the top two today," after the White Goose division, it was the Green Sparrow division's turn.

There weren't many spots available, only two.

"Look at Chen Shen, he doesn't seem as mighty and domineering as he used to be."

"Have you ever thought about it? This person has only been promoted to the Green Sparrow division for a few years, and he broke into the top fifty in just two years. But before you entered the top fifty, it took you more than ten years. The difference in talent is huge."

...

Not long after, the Green Sparrow division's debate also ended.

"Forty-fifth place, moved up four places in three months, not bad," Chen Shen nodded slightly, as he had expected.

"Brother Chen Shen, care for a drink?" Zhang Ping walked over and smiled.

Behind him, a group of people followed, all of them Luck practitioners who entered the Purple Garden at the same time.

There were also many familiar faces, such as Song Yuchen and Xu Wenjing, who were all disciples of Lao Zhao.

This time, he didn't refuse and simply nodded.

Following that, Zhang Ping treated them and opened a luxurious private room in the largest restaurant in the royal city.

He and Chen Shen drank boldly, with the specially made liquor for cultivators called "Immortal Drunk," which was said to be able to intoxicate even the most powerful experts.

Under the influence of alcohol, Zhang Ping, with a flushed face, said, "Brother Chen, I have always regarded you as my rival. Sometimes, I even felt jealous, wondering why someone with such great talent wasn't me."

"After you were promoted to the Green Sparrow division, I desperately tried to catch up, wanting to walk the unbeatable path of your White Goose. But now I understand that some people are born extraordinary. Luck, you truly deserve unparalleled talent. I toast to you, accepting the fact that you are much stronger than me."

"Zhang Xiong is capable, not weaker than me," Chen Shen encouraged, also taking a drink.

Listening to the two of them chat, Xu Wenjing and the others felt uneasy. They were still lingering around the threshold of becoming a Grandmaster.

And these two, one was the former number one, the other is the current three-time champion.

Six months later.

"Zhang Ping has already become a four-time champion, I wonder if he can achieve the five-time champion."

"It's very possible, the gap between him and the veteran Grandmasters is starting to widen."

"This kid talks nicely, but deep down he still can't accept defeat, even after becoming a four-time champion," Chen Shen looked at the young man on the field, expressionless as he set up his formation.

Not long after, the Baiyan Tournament ended, and Zhang Ping forcefully took first place.

"Last season there were no spots, and this time there's only one, it's so difficult for the Green Sparrow Masters."

Then, the Green Sparrow Masters who were about to compete started complaining.

"Over a hundred people competing for one spot, it's so difficult for me."

"After half a year, I wonder how Chen Shen's level is, if he can make further progress."

Buzz!

The Green Sparrow Masters formed seals and displayed rune formations that were several times more complex than the Baiyan Tournament.

The Green Sparrow Masters with the most powerful formations were accompanied by Purple Crane runes, almost forming a gravitational field, affecting the weaker Green Sparrow Masters nearby.

"So strong, so complex, I wonder when I'll be able to become a Green Sparrow," the Baiyan Masters who had finished the tournament stared at the field, murmuring.

"Look, Chen Shen is getting stronger and stronger," someone said.

Although they were Baiyan Luck Masters, they could still intuitively feel the strength of the Green Sparrow Masters.

Clearly, Chen Shen had become stronger compared to half a year ago.

Finally, the Green Sparrow Tournament ended.

"Thirty-nine, he has entered the top forty," many people envied.

Clearly, in just half a year, the other party was able to improve his ranking by so much, while some of them only advanced one spot in several years.

"He won't need a few years, he will definitely make it into the top ten!"

Spring came and winter went, and another two years passed.

Among the Baiyan Masters, Zhang Ping was able to stably hold first place, with Chen Shen in second.

"When there was Chen Shen back then, now there's Zhang Ping, when will another Luck genius appear in Ziyuan?"

"It's not that Zhang Ping is not good, but it's because Chen Shen left a deep impression on us back then. Under his halo, Zhang Ping appears dim and weak. That's why you think Zhang Ping is not strong, but he is also a genius who can dominate the Ziyuan generation."

"Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time, which is why we have the wrong perception."

"I see, but why does Chen Shen seem to lack successors? Two years have passed, and he has just barely entered the thirtieth place."

Two years had passed, and Chen Shen had only advanced nine spots, just barely reaching thirtieth place in the current tournament ranking.

"You have once again formed a mistaken understanding. Obviously, you haven't done enough research. It is much more difficult for a Luck Master of the Green Sparrow level to advance compared to us. Don't be fooled by Chen Shen's current wandering outside the quasi-grandmaster level. Little do most people know that it takes decades for the majority to reach that level."

Chen Shen finished his practice and saw Zhang Ping, who was receiving rewards, with a smile on his face.

"This guy's confidence is back. I can see a hint of provocation in his eyes," he touched his chin and whispered softly.

Two years, and then another two years!

Time flows like water.

And once again, Chen Shen's cultivation broke through, advancing to the third level of Soul Formation!

"Soul Formation, third level," he said in his heart in the courtyard, then got up and walked out of the house.

"On the surface, I am a Luck genius, but in reality, I am a cultivation genius, the kind that is extremely powerful."

"But advancing to the mid-stage of Soul Formation will probably take a bit longer. I wonder how I compare to the unparalleled genius Chu Yuyan."

Luck Masters gathered at the Dao Field.

The Dao Conference was like a series of exams, constantly urging Luck Masters of different levels to strive forward.

For the sake of quotas and resources, or reputation, Luck Masters grow and advance through harmonious competition, calm and fulfilling.

"Brother Chen Shen!" Before the Dao Conference began, Zhang Ping walked over with a smile on his face.

He looked different from his usual calm appearance, appearing somewhat ostentatious.

But it was only natural for him to be tough. He had held the top spot in the Green Sparrow for more than four years, longer than Chen Shen's reign.

No matter how others tried to catch up, no one could shake Zhang Ping's position.

Many even believed that his future achievements would not be inferior to Chen Shen's.

"When will you advance to the Green Sparrow?" Chen Shen smiled.

"After this Dao Conference, I will become a Green Sparrow Master!" Zhang Ping nodded confidently, full of conviction.

Then, the Dao Conference began, and unsurprisingly, Zhang Ping took first place in the end.

"What? Chen Shen has advanced to the quasi-grandmaster level of the Green Sparrow!"

In the Green Sparrow Dao Conference, Chen Shen's performance shocked everyone.

Just as he entered the quasi-grandmaster level, he forcefully surpassed the other quasi-grandmaster Luck Masters and entered the top twenty.

"I'll be waiting for you in the Green Sparrow!" After the match, Chen Shen patted Zhang Ping on the shoulder and left.

". Zhang Ping.

It seems like there's quite a big gap!

Half a month later, Zhang Ping, who had dominated the Green Sparrow for four years, advanced to the Green Sparrow Master level.

"Another great mountain has been surpassed. It's finally our turn. Hopefully, there won't be any more freaks like this."

The Green Sparrow Masters rejoiced.

"Zhang Ping has advanced? Great! When Chen Shen first advanced, he had to obediently patrol the graveyard, inconspicuous in the Green Sparrow Master's tail."

"This old guy's actions are ten times more high-profile than Chen Shen's. We must let him suffer the consequences of society and make him understand why the flowers are so red."

The Green Sparrow Masters sharpened their knives.

Two more months passed.

"Little Zhang, keep working hard. It's okay to be last this time. The main thing is to be diligent and strive to absorb Luck next time."

Many Green Sparrow Luck Masters patted Zhang Ping on the shoulder, speaking with the demeanor of their seniors.

"ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3" Zhang Ping felt discouraged. Not only did he come in last, but he also didn't absorb a trace of Luck. The inscriptions on the array were lonely, just like Little Li back then.

It seemed like the senior members intentionally took care of him and were somewhat displeased with his past high-profile behavior.

"Chen Shen is still more pleasing to the eye. No matter how talented he is, he is always humble and low-key. He never shows off and respectfully greets the senior members, never underestimating anyone."

This is a direct quote from a Green Sparrow Master who ranks in the top three.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, six years have passed!

Boom!

A low hum came from within Chen Shen's body. It took six years, but his cultivation finally advanced again!

Lifespan]

Chen Shen realized his own strength and felt pleased.

The advancement of cultivation was the most enjoyable. The stronger his power, the more at ease he felt.

Then, he got up, took a bath, changed his clothes, and headed to the Dao Field.

This time, in the Green Sparrow Dao Conference, he aimed to break into the top ten!

"But even if I enter the top ten, I'm afraid I still won't be able to secure a spot in the grand event. I must be first."

Chen Shen pondered. The competition among Green Sparrow Masters was even more terrifying than in the White Swan. The number of spots was limited, but the number of people was high. Only the first place could secure a spot in the grand event every time.

"Chen Shen, how many ranks are you aiming for today?" When he arrived at the Dao Field, a Green Sparrow Master asked.

Chen Shen's progress had always been evident. He would advance one rank almost every time. So everyone was looking forward to knowing when this low-key genius would seize the first place.

Chapter 2 will be a bit later. I want to have a burst of updates now. Well, I'll start trying from tomorrow. Without updates, there won't be any recommendations, and my ranking has been hovering around a thousand subscribers.
