Chapter 433 - 431: Indulging in Joy Wine

Chapter 433: Chapter 431: Indulging in Joy Wine

Gradually.

Su Qing was in a state almost bordering on the Netherworld.

He spent half a year gaining this comprehension.

Only then did he barely grasp it.

Afterward, he cultivated for a short while.

——

Host: Su Qing

Realm: Daoist Initial Realm [Great Dao Cultivation Method: Daoist Initial (1,500/30,000)]

——

They were more or less from the same source.

Therefore, he didn’t need to start his Cultivation from scratch.

But a Skill Level of 30,000 was already a terrifying amount.

At Su Qing’s current rate of Cultivation,

it would likely take him nearly two Star Sea Eras.

’The Great Dao Cultivation Method surpasses the Daoist Initial Cultivation Method by far.’

Su Qing understood from it why he had not been able to produce a flower bud.

It was because the tree that represented him,

was so massive that even the Daoist Initial Cultivation Method couldn’t make it form a flower bud.

Without a flower bud, it could not bloom.

But the Great Dao Cultivation Method was an improvement precisely because of this.

It cultivated the tree from its very essence.

No matter how tall Su Qing’s Dao Tree grew, it could still form a flower bud.

And form a Dao Fruit.

The most crucial point was,

the highest Realm of the Great Dao Cultivation Method

could reach the Fifteenth Realm.

The Great Dao Realm.

How else could it be called the Great Dao Cultivation Method?

Despite only being synthesized twice,

it had already been elevated to a level that allowed Cultivation up to the Great Dao Realm.

But comprehension was one thing;

whether he could actually cultivate to that Realm was another matter entirely.

Just like with the Daoist Initial Cultivation Method, he had actually gotten stuck at the Daoist Initial Realm.

’The affairs of the outside world will more or less continue for a long time.’

’They will only disturb my Cultivation.’

’Now, I don’t have to worry about how large the Daoist Initial tree grows.’

’I only need to silently will its Growth to increase my own strength.’

’I must reach the Dao Fruit Realm. At that stage, the difference in power is practically the difference between heaven and earth.’

After obtaining the Great Dao Cultivation Method, Su Qing understood just how outrageous the Dao Fruit Realm was.

He had to reach that level.

Especially upon reaching Dao Fruit Realm Perfection.

The power one wielded would reach a state of Perfection.

Time Stop, existing outside of Space.

These were all symbols of Dao Fruit Realm Perfection.

At this stage, one transcended the mortal world.

This was the ultimate power.

’Time to cultivate again.’

’No, I need an avatar.’

Su Qing had had enough of the days of chewing fruits and swallowing leaves.

He wanted some quiet, leisurely time.

With a wave of his hand, a Split Soul and an avatar identical to Su Qing appeared.

Su Qing’s consciousness entered the avatar. ℯℯ𝑙.

Meanwhile, his original body,

which possessed his full power, would synthesize items,

sift through the products of Standardization,

and continue cultivating the Great Dao Cultivation Method by chewing fruits and swallowing leaves.

As for Su Qing, his consciousness now in the avatar,

he could enjoy a time of tranquility.

The original body was essentially lost within the Cosmic Immortal Transformation Visualization Map,

so it wouldn’t feel bored.

All of this—the original body and the Split Soul—was helping Su Qing grow.

"Having an avatar really makes a difference," Su Qing said with a light laugh.

At least this way, things wouldn’t get too boring.

This was what Su Qing needed.

And only this.

’A world of one’s own might actually be pretty good.’

Truly a world of one’s own.

The entire world was filled with flowers, and Su Qing’s house felt very cozy.

He rested for a bit, drinking the Luhua Wine that Yu Hu had given him.

Right now, Su Qing’s avatar was in the state of an ordinary person.

It was created purely for enjoyment.

Su Qing was determined to properly listen to the beautiful music one could supposedly hear after getting drunk.

He took a few big gulps.

Su Qing felt his vision start to swim.

’No way, is my alcohol tolerance this bad as a normal person?’

’It didn’t even taste that strong.’

That was Su Qing’s last thought.

Then, he collapsed to the side.

He drifted into a hazy sleep.

In his daze,

Su Qing heard faint, wispy voices.

They seemed to be the calls of many people.

The voices of his parents from his past life, calling out with concern, "Son."

There were joyous Spirit Plants, cheering with passion and faith, "God... God..."

The cool, detached voice of Wang Li from the beginning... Xu Ningying’s joyful shout of "Su Qing."

There was also Tang Dan and Luo Xingya affectionately calling him "Young Master."

And Su Hongshang’s voice, calling him "Husband" or "Su Qing."

There were also his peers from Absolute Cold Peak: Ouyang Mingming’s radiant, smiling voice calling "Disciple," You Yanhan’s nonchalant "Martial-Nephew," and Liu Linlin’s gentle "Junior Brother."

Everyone’s voices surfaced in Su Qing’s memory.

The drunken Su Qing.

His eyes were hazy, and a watery sheen began to form in them.

But in the end, he resolutely closed his eyes.

And fell into a drunken slumber.

Perhaps he would forget everything.

Was this the "beautiful music"?

Perhaps it was...

Su Qing, lost in the fine wine,

had heard the voices in this world that made him happiest.

They were voices of utmost sincerity.

They were the voices he longed for.

This drunken episode

lasted for several months.

Luhua Wine was never meant to be drunk by ordinary mortals.

It was only because his avatar was ordinary that Su Qing neither died nor could easily digest the wine’s power.

"Huh?"

Su Qing woke up in a daze, still reeking of alcohol.

He had only just finished digesting those few sips of wine.

’So that was the beautiful music?’

As Su Qing became more lucid, he couldn’t help but reflect on hearing the beautiful music he had wanted to hear.

’It really was beautiful, though.’

A slight curve appeared on Su Qing’s lips.

It truly was beautiful to hear.

It brought back memories of those voices from the past.

If this wasn’t fine wine, what was?

’I should synthesize this.’

’Use Immortal Transformation Synthesis.’

’It’s definitely good stuff.’

Su Qing thought about it. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to use Immortal Transformation Synthesis.

He could have another drink afterward.

Eight jars of wine plus one exceptionally sweet Spirit Fruit.

To improve the taste.

[Synthesis Successful: Immortal Transformation Triggered]

[Upper Bell Joy: An Immortal Wine. After indulging in Upper Bell Joy and becoming intoxicated, one can hear the Bell Court Overture, which uplifts the mood, soothes emotions, clears the mind of the intoxicated, and nourishes the soul.]

"Not bad."

"Extract."

Eight jars of wine plus one fruit had become a single jar.

Concentration is the essence of quality.

Just as Su Qing took it out,

he received a communication from Zhu Yuan.

Su Qing’s avatar connected to the call.

On the call, Su Qing saw Zhu Yuan. Her jet-black hair was tied up in a high ponytail, giving her a very neat appearance.

"Su Qing, what are you doing hiding in there?"

"A lot of beings in the Taichu Daoist Palace want to challenge you, you know."

"To think you quietly became the top disciple of the Daoist Initial Realm."

"I’m cultivating," Su Qing replied.

Zhu Yuan gave him a strange look. "Tch, cultivating?"

"You’re obviously drinking."

"’Cultivating,’ my foot."

"Drinking alone without inviting anyone? Are you drinking away your sorrows?"

"I’ll come drink with you."

"Er... that’s not necessary," Su Qing said, a bit awkwardly. Besides, the wine Yu Hu had given him was different from the one he was about to drink now.

"Just tell me, are you going to let me into your world or not?"

"Fine." Su Qing relented and granted Zhu Yuan permission, allowing her into his world.

"Hm, this world is quite beautiful."

"So many flowers and plants. And some of them are quite useful to certain beings." Zhu Yuan appeared at Su Qing’s residence in a flash.

The first thing she noticed was another Su Qing off to the side.

It was sitting with its eyes closed, mechanically eating fruits and leaves.

The other one was a Su Qing who seemed like an ordinary being.

This Su Qing was currently holding a large wine jar.

"Don’t disturb my original body’s Cultivation."

Su Qing said to the stunned Zhu Yuan.

"What is going on with you?"

Zhu Yuan didn’t understand his method of Cultivation. Wasn’t practice supposed to require one’s full, undivided attention?

Why would he need to send out a Split Soul?

"Of course, it’s because Cultivation is boring. I sent out a Split Soul to experience life a little. Otherwise, such a dull existence would be too tasteless," Su Qing said with a shrug, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
