Chapter 436 - 434: A Source Path Cultivation Method

Chapter 436: Chapter 434: A Source Path Cultivation Method

The Time Dragon was born from the Star Sea outside the body.

Zhu Yuan could have gone to the Star Sea Tree to comprehend the mysteries of the Star Sea.

This was a blessing bestowed by the Star Sea.

He would not be rejected by the Star Sea Tree.

However, he had been influenced by his clan. After arriving at the Taichu Daoist Palace, Zhu Yuan had focused entirely on researching his own Time Power.

He hadn’t expected Xing Zhu to be the one to awaken him to this fact.

"Xing Zhu, thank you for the reminder. Do you want to go to the Star Sea Tree?"

Xing Zhu shook her head, muttering, "No way, no way. The Star Sea Tree is so far, and I’d have to figure things out on my own. It’s too much trouble."

"I’m not like you, you Dragon. I still have a long Dao Path ahead of me."

Xing Zhu adamantly refused.

There was a ready-made place for her to cultivate right now.

And it belonged to some old woman’s boy toy, which gave Xing Zhu a sense of revenge on top of the pleasure of cultivation.

Going to the Star Sea Tree to comprehend the mysteries of the Star Sea was completely useless for Xing Zhu at the moment.

She likely wouldn’t be able to grasp even the slightest thing without staying for a very long time.

For Xing Zhu, right now...

...it was completely useless.

...

In the end, the entire world fell silent.

Zhu Yuan left.

Xing Zhu also burrowed into Su Qing’s body.

Like a parasite, she siphoned off the meager bit of Power of the Stars within Su Qing.

Only the Split Soul on the ground remained, fast asleep.

The world began to grow quiet.

「Several months later.」

The Su Qing on the ground slowly digested the potency of the Upper Bell Joy wine.

He groggily sat up.

’This time, I wonder how long I was out.’

’I feel like I slept for a long time. My whole body feels uncomfortable.’

This was a common occurrence for an ordinary Split Soul.

It was very uncomfortable.

’The Upper Bell Joy actually made me sleep for so long?’

Su Qing glanced at his status panel.

’At least half a year has passed.’

’The Great Dao Cultivation Method seems too powerful. To only gain this little Skill Level in half a year...’

’It seems like nothing important has happened in the outside world.’

Su Qing used his Standardized Yi Inference Technique to make a quick calculation.

There were no significant changes.

’No, I have to try synthesizing the Upper Bell Joy one more time to see what kind of fine wine it becomes.’

The moment the thought occurred to him, Su Qing had already taken out the wine jars and started synthesizing.

It was a way to pass the time anyway.

Tasting fine wine was better than immersing himself in the Visualization Map.

That would be far too troublesome.

[Upper Bell Joy: ...]

...

[Synthesis Successful: Immortal Transformation Triggered]

"Extract."

Su Qing hadn’t added anything extra this time.

It was pure Upper Bell Joy plus eight jars of Luhua Wine.

’This jar smells incredible.’

When Su Qing opened the wine jar,

an incredibly rich fragrance wafted out.

Moreover, Su Qing felt like he was about to get drunk.

’I can’t let that happen. I have to take a sip immediately.’

’If I get drunk without even drinking, does that mean I’ll stay drunk forever?’

Su Qing quickly ladled out a small cup and sealed the jar.

Then he downed it in one gulp.

It melted in his mouth. The flavor was complex, yet leaned toward sweet. The single sip was incredibly refreshing, but the intoxication came on fast.

THUD.

Su Qing collapsed again.

He fell into a deep sleep.

He felt as though wondrous music was playing all around him. The sound was magnificent, just like the ceremonial drums he had heard during the rites to heaven in that small kingdom long ago.

This time was different.

A thousand different sounds were interwoven.

They joined to produce an incomparably profound and mystical sound,

allowing Su Qing, deep in his intoxicated slumber, to listen with utter peace.

...

This slumber lasted for ten full years.

He didn’t even stir.

He was awakened by his main body, Su Qing.

Then, the Split Soul returned to the main body.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

For the main Su Qing, who had been immersed in the Visualization Map,

it was nothing more than a fleeting moment.

[Cosmic Immortal Transformation Visualization Map: Minor Achievement (1753/2000)]

’Heh, my progress was quite fast this time.’

Su Qing had his standards.

Every Standardized fruit he consumed was one he synthesized to the absolute limit his body could endure.

Coupled with his continuous use of Growth,

every Standardized fruit resulted in an almost frenzied increase in power.

This caused Su Qing’s rate of progress to be incredibly swift.

However, it also had a negative side effect.

Even after ten years of seclusion,

he hadn’t triggered the Nether Oblivion State even once.

This was because his main body’s soul was slumbering, not cultivating.

’The tree is starting to sprout tiny shoots now. They’re probably the buds for the flowers.’

Su Qing was especially satisfied.

He was, however, not very pleased with the parasite inside his body.

This member of the Star Race was actually entrenched within his Immortal Star Fire,

constantly siphoning his Power of the Stars.

Although it wasn’t much at any given moment, over time it added up.

It was definitely a lot.

If not for the fact that Su Qing possessed a Standardized Magic like Growth,

he would have gotten rid of this little girl long ago.

He had already ignited the Immortal Star Fire in ten locations.

Only the last two flames were left.

When that time comes, Su Qing will synthesize the Star Fruit and the Ten Thousand Layers of Water Orchid Heart.

In Su Qing’s eyes, the Ten Thousand Layers of Water Orchid Heart was even more powerful than the Star Fruit.

This was because of a certain Ten Thousand Layers of Water Divine Technique within it.

Even though Su Qing was constantly using his Split Soul to Sacrificially Refine the Ten Thousand Layers of Water,

his Ten Thousand Layers of Water Divine Technique was only at one thousand and eighty layers.

It really wasn’t because Su Qing was slacking off.

It was that in the later stages, the amount of water required was simply an astronomical figure.

To reach the state of Ten Thousand Layers of Water,

Su Qing would have to perform Sacrificial Refinement for at least ten thousand Star Sea Eras.

Only then could he probably achieve it.

And this swift pace was only possible because Su Qing had no shortage of resources.

’This girl...’

’Heh, Xing Zhu, is it?’

Even in seclusion, he had heard their conversation. This was his world, after all.

Su Qing even knew how many times the Flame Mark on his forehead had lit up.

Xing Zhu had even said this mark could be found.

Why hadn’t Su Qing been able to find it yet?

’The mark from the Black Abyss is certainly interesting.’

Su Qing couldn’t be bothered with it.

He was still short ten thousand points of Skill Level.

At most, it would take another two years for Su Qing to reach Daoist Initial Realm Perfection.

Not only that, but Su Qing had also fully comprehended how to make the flower buds bloom.

Once the conditions were right,

Su Qing could ascend to the Dao Flower Realm.

Su Qing wasn’t foolish enough to go wandering around instead of cultivating.

’I should just rest for a bit.’

Su Qing thought for a moment and split off a clone of himself.

The main body would cultivate.

This way,

it would be convenient to take care of other matters.

Afterward,

Su Qing’s Split Soul appeared once more.

’The main body is still cultivating. What do I need to do?’

’It seems there’s nothing I need to do.’

’I’ll go outside and check on things.’

Su Qing didn’t want to be lazy anymore.

The main body was cultivating;

the Split Soul represented his will.

Therefore, Su Qing wanted to go to the Taichu Book Land to continue reading useful books

and supplement his own knowledge base.

The moment he stepped out of his personal world,

Su Qing sensed a presence beside him.

It wasn’t human.

Its entire body was blue.

This was a being from a race in the Star Sea with considerable power:

the Profound Blue Race.

Its entire being was in a profound blue soul-state.

It had no physical body,

but its Talent for the soul was very powerful.

"Su Qing, you’ve finally come out."

"More than ten years. In the vocabulary of you humans, that makes you a coward."

"Say what you will. I don’t want to challenge you," Su Qing said nonchalantly.

He was heading to the Taichu Book Land.

"A Source Path Cultivation Method."

The member of the Profound Blue Race said with immense confidence.

Evidently, Su Qing also stopped in his tracks.
