Chapter 394 - 392: Constant Minor Troubles

Chapter 394: Chapter 392: Constant Minor Troubles

Su Qing’s hands began to turn into glazed crystal.

The crystalline hands were sparkling and translucent, as if they had become the same substance as the Jade People themselves.

And that wasn’t all.

When Su Qing’s entire body transformed into white crystal, he felt it had been enhanced to a certain degree.

However, the effect wasn’t very significant.

Touching his crystalline body, he found it felt almost the same as normal flesh.

It was even elastic.

It was quite magical.

It was just that this form made his entire body somewhat translucent. Coupled with the already immense Energy within him, when he looked in a mirror, he appeared even more divine.

Upon closer inspection, you couldn’t see his full form; instead, the Micro Acupoint Great Worlds within him were reflected on the surface.

There was a powerful yet eerie aesthetic to it.

"Am I not human anymore?" Su Qing changed back to his original form and chuckled.

’No matter what, this new constitution is excellent.’ That was the insight he gained.

’The next stop after Liuyu Continent is next year.’

’If I rushed there on my own, it would take about the same amount of time.’

’I might as well focus on comprehending Dao Essence. I’ll make faster progress that way.’

Su Qing no longer wanted to go to that library to read books.

Because those books were completely useless.

They couldn’t compare to the books in the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.

Su Qing closed his eyes slightly and sat cross-legged on his bed.

He was entering seclusion.

He didn’t need to constantly fly to the Taichu Daoist Palace.

Su Qing would definitely choose to continue improving.

If he could improve, he must improve.

The most terrifying thing was being unable to progress.

Back in the Spirit Realm, Su Qing had seen plenty of Cultivators.

Due to low aptitude or an accident that damaged their meridians, they found it difficult to advance.

Such things were commonplace.

But even those who couldn’t advance were still searching for opportunities, trying to fight for a chance.

For someone like Su Qing, who could continuously improve, why wouldn’t he work harder?

Why not explore his own limits?

Especially with the Dao Nether Immortal Body, he needed to develop his Nether Oblivion State.

’As long as I can master this state,’ he thought, ’I would bet that in just ten ordinary years, I will undergo a world-shaking transformation.’

The Cosmic Immortal Transformation Visualization Map.

Su Qing also needed to delve deeply into its secrets.

Progress was always a result of accumulation over time.

After a certain amount, one would find it had piled up into a mountain.

So, if he could accumulate, he would accumulate.

The second flame for Su Qing’s Star Immortal Body already required twice the amount of Power of the Stars as the first.

It was becoming more and more.

If it kept doubling, the Power of the Stars required later on would be immense.

Su Qing would need more time.

To bring this constitution to its strongest state, he still had a long way to go.

Right now, Su Qing was focused on comprehending Space Dao Essence.

Comprehending his Dao Nether Immortal Body was also part of it.

He knew the road ahead was long.

The Greed Realm wasn’t actually that strong; it was just that the Su Qing of the past had been too weak.

He couldn’t win, but he fought anyway, and in the end, he got his revenge.

Unfortunately, those who had departed were already gone.

Comprehending Dao Essence...

「One year later.」

...

The Flying Ship warped again.

Su Qing also awoke from his comprehension of Dao Essence.

His eyes were deeper; he had comprehended a tremendous amount of Dao Essence this past year.

Especially his comprehension of Space Dao Essence.

It had become much deeper.

It wasn’t just Space Dao Essence.

Su Qing had also comprehended some Destiny Dao Essence.

While comprehending Space Dao Essence, he had entered the Nether Oblivion State three times.

While comprehending Destiny Dao Essence, he had entered the Nether Oblivion State once.

He had entered the Nether Oblivion State only four times in a year.

But just those four times were enough.

Su Qing would bet that if he faced the Greed Realm again, he could simply clench his fist, and his opponent’s physical body would be annihilated and their soul damaged.

This past year, he had also been comprehending how to use the Power of Space to destroy souls.

He had achieved some success.

The spatial warp had pulled Su Qing out of his state of comprehension.

There was nothing to be done about it.

He could only go out for a stroll.

Because during a warp, too many things were unstable.

...

Su Qing stepped out of his room and noticed the hallway outside had been redecorated with some Jade.

"Your Excellency."

The disk-shaped member of the Mechanical Race was still at his door.

Su Qing asked in confusion, "Didn’t I tell you to go about your own business?"

"My business, as assigned, is to protect you, Your Excellency, although you don’t seem to need my protection."

"The member of the Jade People Race next to you seems to have been disturbed."

"She has been staying in her room and won’t come out."

"So I was assigned to guard her," Tuya replied.

"It’s impressive enough that she hasn’t lost her Taichu Seal," Su Qing said with a smile.

She was a member of the Jade People Race who had barely just awakened her Dao Path.

When Su Qing had first boarded the Flying Ship, a little mouse had appeared, trying to steal his Taichu Seal.

And back at the Jianmu Omniscience Institute, one could only imagine how many factions it had attracted.

It just went to show how coveted this seal was.

For this member of the Jade People Race to still have it in her possession was already quite an achievement.

’I wonder why,’ he thought. ’Don’t the factions of her own race want to seize it?’

Su Qing still didn’t know.

But he didn’t care.

He arrived at the dining hall.

He ordered a few dishes.

He waited quietly at his table for the food to arrive.

They were all things Su Qing had never eaten before.

Fragrant White-Haired Nongli Meat, Stir-fried Tender Fang...

These were all meat dishes, such as Nongli meat, Fang meat, and so on...

The menu indicated they were edible for the Human Race, which was why Su Qing ordered them.

He had no idea what kind of meat it actually was.

Su Qing had never seen the creatures in person.

This place, the Star Sea, was too vast.

And the variety of life forms was immense.

The dishes were served.

Su Qing began to eat.

The meat was good.

If only it hadn’t been poisoned.

Then perhaps Su Qing wouldn’t have found it so repulsive.

Su Qing spread his soul sense, observing who was surreptitiously watching him.

’To think they’d actually use poison.’

Su Qing was puzzled.

It was a Soul Poison, but Su Qing had already absorbed it.

It had practically been converted into his own nourishment.

Su Qing wasn’t concerned about something like this, but eating it was still disgusting.

’One person... No, that’s not a Dao Path.’

Su Qing probed deeper.

The gazes around him all transformed into interwoven threads of destiny.

Following the thread of destiny from the poison in his food, he located a certain individual.

He was an incredibly confident diner with brilliant golden hair and a pair of bright, amber eyes. He paid no attention to Su Qing and was leisurely enjoying the feast on his table.

He wore a wide, white robe with gold trim.

He wasn’t purely human; he was a Cultivator of a Dao Path. Su Qing didn’t recognize this particular brand, which carried a murderous yet insidious aura.

Even when Su Qing’s probe reached the depths of the man’s soul, he still had no idea he’d been exposed.

With a wave of his hand, the Power of the Stars erased the man’s brand.

The man’s amber eyes flew wide open as he whipped his head around to look at Su Qing.

Even after losing his Dao Path Power, his body still reacted, trying to flee.

After meeting Su Qing’s gaze, he pushed off with his feet, trying to escape.

Suddenly, the golden-haired man collapsed, sprawled flat on the ground, unable to struggle no matter how he tried.

Some of the surrounding people were a little confused, but ultimately thought nothing of it.

’Maybe he’s just dizzy from the warp.’

They were still in the middle of a warp, after all.

It was perfectly normal.

A bed-like construct from the Mechanical Race, covered in tiny mechanical structures, emerged, intending to take the golden-haired man away to recuperate.

Su Qing sent a telepathic message.

"This man just tried to poison me. You deal with him. If you can’t, go get Sodero. I’ll explain it to him face-to-face."

After hearing the voice and seeing Su Qing, the construct stopped trying to lift the golden-haired man.

"Taichu Daoist Palace Seal holder... Su Qing..."

"Identity confirmed. Accessing incident logs... Dao Path Power intervention..."

"Poisoning confirmed. Apprehending."

The bed-like construct reacted quickly. It shifted over the man on the floor, and a large metal arm extended, clamping down on him tightly.

On the Flying Ship, this scene indicated the capture of a criminal.
