Chapter 506 - 504: Rumors, Vanishing

Chapter 506: Chapter 504: Rumors, Vanishing

Zhu Yuan left Su Qing’s world.

But he couldn’t go into Cultivation just yet.

There was still one matter to attend to.

It concerned the Mechanical Race.

Although the Mechanical Race had been slow to send aid,

they did eventually show up.

Zhu Yuan now needed to visit the Mechanical Race.

He had to express the gratitude of the Candle Dragon Race.

...

...

For the Longevity Seeds,

this matter with the Candle Dragon Race

could be dealt with later.

After all, they all had time on their side.

It was just a matter of waiting to see which race would give out first.

However, another matter had begun to affect Su Qing.

And that was...

Su Qing could actually perform Artifact Refining.

In the Taichu Daoist Palace, Artifact Refining was an almost unheard-of talent.

Moreover, for a Cultivator of a Realm as high as Su Qing’s,

wouldn’t even the worst Dao Artifact he crafted be at least a Tier Nine Dao Artifact?

The many powerful figures among the Last Life Clan

had already learned that Su Qing could refine Dao Artifacts.

Having a Dao Artifact versus not having one...

The difference was enormous.

It was just like after the last period of chaos in the Taichu Daoist Palace.

Everyone had managed to seize a number of high-Realm Dao Artifacts.

Even several years later, they were still fighting over them.

...

...

"Xiaoqing, what is it?"

Several months later, Su Qing looked at Xiaoqing in confusion.

Xiaoqing had woken him up.

"Master, it seems you’ve become famous."

"What’s going on?"

"Everyone is spreading a rumor that you obtained the inheritance of a Thirteenth Realm Cultivator and learned Artifact Refining techniques."

"There are already many high-Realm Cultivators waiting at the entrance to your world, Master."

"They want to ask for your help in refining Dao Artifacts."

"As the news spreads, most regions inside and outside the Taichu Daoist Palace, even the Eastern Domain, are hearing that you have the inheritance of a Thirteenth Realm Cultivator."

"Master, this matter will have a huge impact on you."

Su Qing was stunned.

Then he thought of World Master, Luo Qing, and Luo Yu.

Immediately, Su Qing began to perform an Inference with his fingers.

He wanted to find an answer.

Who on earth had spread this rumor?

Even the Eastern Domain knew about it.

This was definitely a huge problem.

Because that fellow who meddled with destiny was still out there.

If he found out that Su Qing had escaped his fate and was cultivating so quickly,

what would he choose to do?

Even Su Qing knew what he would do.

To let an enemy who progressed so quickly run free...

any being with even a little bit of wisdom would choose to eliminate them while they were still weak.

His rate of progress was just too fast.

Most importantly,

the outside world didn’t actually know that Su Qing already possessed the strength of the Twelfth Realm.

At most, only the one from the Clumsy Head Palace, as well as Taichu and Black Abyss, knew Su Qing’s true strength.

Who else knew?

But even at the rumored Eleventh Realm strength,

when viewed over a longer period,

Su Qing had gone from the Ninth Realm to the Eleventh Realm in just a few hundred years.

Not even a single Star Sea Era.

Crucially, Cultivation was supposed to get harder and harder, yet Su Qing’s progress remained incredibly swift.

No one would let that slide.

Su Qing put himself in his enemy’s shoes.

He would still choose to eliminate him.

Su Qing finished his Inference.

’It wasn’t them.’

’A spy within the clan?’

’Damn it.’

Su Qing was even angrier now.

The great Last Life Clan actually had a spy in its midst.

Whose spy?

Spies planted between the various Last Life Clans.

As the story was passed around, it turned into "Su Qing possessing the inheritance of a Thirteenth Realm Cultivator."

Rumors were deadly.

Su Qing understood now.

And as for that Thirteenth Realm fellow who toyed with fate,

he would definitely find out that Su Qing was now in the Taichu Daoist Palace.

"..."

Su Qing clenched his fists.

’No, I can’t just be a sitting duck.’

’That guy is definitely plotting against me in secret.’

’The enemy is hidden while I’m out in the open. This is a bad position to be in.’

After thinking for a long time,

he looked at Xiaoqing.

He couldn’t stay in the Taichu Daoist Palace any longer.

He was already in the Twelfth Realm now.

With enough time, Su Qing could reach Dao Fruit Realm Perfection.

After breaking through to the Thirteenth Realm,

all his troubles would disappear.

"Xiaoqing."

"Master?"

Su Qing took out the Taichu Seal.

He handed it directly to Xiaoqing.

"Take this."

"This world is yours now."

"I’m going to be leaving the Taichu Daoist Palace for a while."

Su Qing smiled faintly.

"From now on, you’re a free Cultivator. Cultivate well."

He patted Xiaoqing’s small, round, green body.

"I didn’t expect this day to come so soon."

Su Qing sighed.

He was only about a quarter of the way through his Great Dao Cultivation Method.

There was still a long time left for Cultivation.

Now that such a huge problem had arisen,

Su Qing had no choice but to leave the Taichu Daoist Palace first.

"Goodbye,"

Su Qing said softly.

He wasn’t speaking to Xiaoqing.

And just then,

a pair of delicate hands appeared,

trying to grab Su Qing.

But unexpectedly,

Su Qing had already vanished.

He had gone into the Void Realm.

Black Abyss appeared in the Taichu Daoist Palace, looking dazed.

She stared blankly at her own hands.

A stunned expression appeared on her usually cold face.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill all your friends and family!"

Black Abyss was furious.

She roared at her surroundings.

The area was completely silent.

After a long time,

Black Abyss’s silence was broken. She murmured to herself, "I’ve already severed that guy’s threads of fate that controlled the Eastern Domain."

"Come back!"

"Come back!"

...

Unfortunately,

Su Qing was long out of earshot.

After entering the Void Realm,

he had already considered the matter with Black Abyss.

But, Su Qing was betting that Black Abyss wouldn’t do anything to his friends.

If Black Abyss had told him earlier that she had severed that guy’s threads of fate,

why would Su Qing have run?

He was now in the Void Realm, piloting a Tier Thirteen Little Flying Car towards the desolate outer regions of the Eastern Domain.

The flame brand on Su Qing’s brow

had also disappeared.

He had to ensure that no Tier Thirteen existence knew where he was going.

Not even Black Abyss.

Su Qing was truly fed up with Black Abyss.

Her unwarranted attention

made Su Qing incredibly vexed.

So,

by severing all connections between them,

Su Qing felt as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart.

The feeling of being watched was gone.

It was an incredible relief.

’I’ll go to the outer edge of the Eastern Domain, find a desolate place, and just cultivate.’

He could make a home anywhere.

Back then, just to survive, Su Qing had cultivated for a long time before returning to Qingsu Island.

Now, he was just returning to that state.

With Hidden Dragon Like the Abyss,

Su Qing wasn’t afraid of being found by powerful Cultivators at all.

He could completely hide his strength.

Find a place where humans lived.

And live as a Hermit.

The Little Flying Car flew for a long time.

Su Qing cultivated the entire time, drinking his Poisoned Wine.

Not wasting a single moment.

After more than a month of travel,

he finally found a world inhabited by humans.

"Oh?"

’That makes sense.’

At first, Su Qing was surprised to find that the Star possessed supernatural power.

But on second thought, it was a Star that existed directly within the Star Sea.

It was perfectly normal for it to come into contact with the power of the Dao Path.

’This is good. They haven’t developed technology, but have instead started on the path of researching the Dao Path. It’s lucky a Devouring Dao Path hasn’t been born here.’

’Otherwise, all the living beings on this Star would be doomed.’

Su Qing commented to himself.

He put away his Little Flying Car and descended into the Star below.

Besides the large towns where humans gathered,

there were vast tracts of wilderness.

Su Qing casually chose a spot.

He took out his Poisoned Wine.

He let a single drop fall, and the surroundings were instantly filled with an almost invisible toxic mist.

It covered an area of thirty li.

’Looks like every time I drink the Poisoned Wine, I’ll have to let a drop fall.’

’This way, after I absorb all the toxic gas, I can have another pot of wine.’

’It will also create a dead zone here, so no living beings can spy on me.’

Su Qing smiled.

As for killing all the living things within thirty li,

Su Qing could only say,

he didn’t care in the slightest.
