Obtained the Crimson Blood Fruit, Advanced to Mid Heavenly Immortal

[Hint: The western reaches of the East Sea are vast, with little danger. However, a member of the Dragon Clan is sleeping a hundred thousand li away. This direction is very likely the Dragon Clan's habitat. The host may consider finding a dragon to cling to—after all, don't mistake a snake for a loach.]

"The west is actually Dragon Clan territory."

Lin Changsheng fell into thought.

Although it was currently the Ferocious Beast Tribulation, the Dragon Clan's strength was still not to be underestimated.

After the Ferocious Beast Tribulation, they would be one of the protagonists of the Dragon-Han Primordial Tribulation.

If he joined the Dragon Clan now, he might truly be able to gain their protection.

However, the thought flashed through his mind and was immediately dismissed by Lin Changsheng.

Setting aside whether his Foundation and strength would earn him any attention within the Dragon Clan—

their eventual fate alone ensured that he would never join them.

Next.

Neither direction would do, so he would try the eastern side of the East Sea.

[Hint: The waters within a hundred thousand kilometers east of the East Sea are calm and peaceful, making them ideal for swimming and vacationing.]

Calm and peaceful?

Lin Changsheng did not decide immediately after taking a look.

Calm seas were not necessarily a good thing.

He would try another direction.

[Hint: Seventy thousand kilometers north of the East Sea, a Golden Claw Crab is guarding a Crimson Blood Fruit that is about to mature. If the host wishes to launch a surprise attack, now is the best time.]

"Crimson Blood Fruit?"

This was a spirit fruit.

Scarlet in appearance, it made the blood throughout one's body feel as though it were burning after being consumed.

It could accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy, allowing one to break through a realm barrier in one go.

Within the Celestial Immortal Realm, it was one of the spirit fruits with the best effects.

Even with Lin Changsheng's poor Foundation, consuming this Crimson Blood Fruit would give him a chance to break through to Mid Heavenly Immortal.

The only issue was that a Golden Claw Crab was guarding it.

Although the hint did not reveal the crab's realm,

since now was the best opportunity for a surprise attack,

their combat strength should not differ by much.

After only a brief moment of consideration, Lin Changsheng's enormous snake body plunged into the seawater.

He swam swiftly like a deep-sea behemoth.

East of the East Sea was calm and peaceful, and everything was unknown.

But to the north of the East Sea lay the Crimson Blood Fruit.

This was an opportunity.

In the Primordial Wilderness, if he could not seize opportunities to grow stronger, then even if he possessed ten top-tier talents,

his future achievements would still be limited.

When it was time to fight for something, he had to give it everything he had.

Although battling the Golden Claw Crab carried risks,

it was worth it compared to the reward.

Seventy thousand kilometers seemed distant, but it took only half a day.

From afar, Lin Changsheng could already smell a refreshing fragrance.

Even the flow of his blood quickened considerably.

The Crimson Blood Fruit was about to mature.

Lin Changsheng's massive snake head slowly emerged from the sea.

Within his sight, on an island, a crab with enormous golden claws vigilantly watched its surroundings.

Those massive golden claws contained terrifying power.

Its entire body was covered in a thick, incomparably hard shell with astonishing defensive power.

If the battle dragged on, Lin Changsheng could not guarantee that he could kill the Golden Claw Crab and take the Crimson Blood Fruit without alerting other living beings.

[Hint: Compared to the rest of its shell, the shell on this Golden Claw Crab's abdomen is somewhat softer. It may have been injured there before, and the shell was re-condensed through cultivation afterward. The host may boldly give it a try.]

Following the Eye of Insight's hint, Lin Changsheng hurriedly looked over.

For a Golden Claw Crab, the shell on its abdomen was the hardest.

Because once that shell was removed, one could eat the crab roe.

Therefore, its fatal spot had to be its strongest point.

If not for the Eye of Insight's hint, Lin Changsheng would never have paid attention to the Golden Claw Crab's abdomen.

Looking closely, the shell on its abdomen was indeed lighter in color than the rest.

If that was the case, he could end the battle quickly by catching it off guard.

Cold killing intent flashed through Lin Changsheng's emerald snake eyes.

He tried his best to restrain his aura and slowly swam toward the Golden Claw Crab.

The distance between them grew smaller and smaller.

At that moment, the Golden Claw Crab, which had been on full alert, seemed to notice Lin Changsheng.

Its enormous golden claw snapped toward the surface of the sea.

Bang.

A waterspout exploded from the sea beneath that snip.

Lin Changsheng's reaction was not slow either.

His enormous tail lashed directly at the Golden Claw Crab's abdomen.

Crack.

A fissure appeared on the previously indestructible shell of its abdomen.

Just as expected.

Lin Changsheng's eyes lit up. This gave him even greater confidence.

A fierce battle erupted on the previously tranquil island.

Lin Changsheng and the crab were both at Early Heavenly Immortal.

Neither possessed spiritual treasures, so their combat strength was not too far apart.

However, Lin Changsheng had the Eye of Insight's hints and seized the initiative, holding the advantage from the very beginning.

As the battle intensified, that advantage gradually became more apparent.

In the end, the crab shell on the Golden Claw Crab's abdomen was shattered outright by Lin Changsheng's tail.

It collapsed upon the island, unable to move.

Lin Changsheng was not doing much better either.

Many of his azure scales had fallen away.

Flesh was torn open in many places.

His blood dyed the nearby seawater red.

But when Lin Changsheng looked at the Crimson Blood Fruit, it had all been worth it.

The fruit had now fully matured.

Ignoring his injuries, Lin Changsheng swallowed the Crimson Blood Fruit in one bite.

However, he did not choose to refine it immediately.

He first had to find somewhere safe.

He did not want all his hard work to benefit some other schemer.

Fortunately, with the Eye of Insight's hints, Lin Changsheng soon found a safe stretch of sea. He dove into the deep ocean and began refining the Crimson Blood Fruit.

The medicinal power of the Crimson Blood Fruit dissolved within Lin Changsheng's body.

His blood flowed at an incredible speed.

Soon, he greedily absorbed spiritual energy as a vortex poured into him.

The scales he had lost in the battle against the Golden Claw Crab began to regenerate rapidly.

His torn flesh also swiftly recovered under the nourishment of the medicinal power.

The aura of Early Heavenly Immortal rapidly rose.

Cultivation knew no passage of time. In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed.

On this day, the previously tranquil sea began to boil.

The pressure of Mid Heavenly Immortal flashed past in an instant.

Lin Changsheng finally awakened from cultivation.

"I've finally advanced to Mid Heavenly Immortal."

Lin Changsheng opened his emerald snake eyes, a trace of delight in them.

Without the Eye of Insight's hints, who knew when he would have advanced so quickly?

At the same time, Lin Changsheng looked forward even more to the [Top-tier Comprehension] talent of the True Immortal Realm.

Its meaning was clear from the name alone: it enhanced comprehension.

He simply did not know how top-tier it truly was.

If he could comprehend some divine abilities, fighting would not be so difficult.

"Next, let me see which direction holds another opportunity."
