Free Web NovelChapter 182: Chapter 180: Incident in White Jade Bay, Su Qing’s Breakthrough
"Su Qing..."
"He’s so mysterious. I hope he manages to live a long life." Bing Ruoli watched Su Qing’s departing figure, then glanced at his residence before turning and leaving.
...
’Why is my nose itching? I feel a sneeze coming on.’ Su Qing rubbed his nose. His Heaven-Soaring God and Demon technique was still carrying him across the sea.
With his current Cultivation, how could he possibly be about to sneeze?
’Someone must be thinking about me.’
’I need to properly digest what I’ve gained this time.’
’I’ll have to hole up for half a year to a year.’
...
White Jade Bay.
It was a very large bay.
The water was deep, making it suitable for a port, and indeed, it had become one.
This was the largest island near Spirit Bamboo Island.
Su Qing suppressed his Cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The Foundation Establishment Realm was, after all, a wonderfully subtle state to be in. The powerful wouldn’t bother with you, and the weak wouldn’t dare provoke you.
There were even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators stationed here.
Therefore, Su Qing spent most of his time synthesizing and absorbing newly acquired Spirit Fruits, and planting all his Spirit Plants in his Great World. He planted a fair number in his Little Immortal Realm as well.
Su Qing could still handle the effects of some of the newly synthesized fruits.
He would synthesize one type of fruit multiple times and consume it in several stages.
This was a perfect way to utilize the fruits without suffering the consequences of their overwhelming medicinal properties.
At the same time, Su Qing also managed to synthesize a standardized version of a talent-enhancing fruit. He could eat several without any diminishing returns on their effects.
...
「Half a year passed.」

After consuming so many Spirit Fruits and Immortal Fruits, Su Qing no longer bothered to calculate his Cultivation Talent.
Instead, he just focused on how fast his cultivation speed was.
For the past six months, Su Qing had done almost nothing but practice his Cultivation.
He was constantly paying attention to the issue of quenching his Pill Patterns.
Thus, he remained holed up in his ordinary residence.
’Such is the life when one’s Cultivation progresses too quickly.’
’Just over five thousand more to go.’
Su Qing felt that in another month or two, he could begin cultivating the God Demon Immortal Infant.
’I can finally break through to the Nascent Soul Realm soon.’
Su Qing continued his Cultivation.
After all, the formation of his Pill Patterns was happening too quickly.
...
「Two months later.」

"Finally, the Pill Patterns are fully formed."
"A flawless and seamless Golden Core... why is it transparent?" Su Qing smiled, though he was only slightly puzzled.
He could clearly feel that his Divine Techniques had grown stronger.
To put it simply, with this Divine Technique alone, Su Qing felt he could live forever as long as he didn’t go looking for trouble.
Anyone weaker than him would have their essence, qi, and spirit slowly consumed by his Devouring Divine Technique.
’Time to form my Nascent Soul.’
Su Qing smiled.
It was time to form his Nascent Soul.
He now had God Demon True Essence and Immortal Qi. The sheer number of Immortal Qi Stones he had synthesized was no joke, especially after they were combined with Spirit Fruits.
They had turned into Immortal Fruits with an explosive amount of Immortal Qi.
All Su Qing needed was a quiet place, and he could break through.
And the Celestial Sea Realm was not lacking in quiet places.
Su Qing left White Jade Bay.
He prepared to break through high in the sky above the Celestial Sea Realm.
As long as he flew high enough, even if his breakthrough leaked some Immortal Qi, it wouldn’t be easily detected.
He could also quickly reabsorb the Immortal Qi.
Just as Su Qing stepped outside,
he felt the oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator descending upon White Jade Bay.
"Who dares cause trouble in White Jade Bay?" A furious voice suddenly boomed out, its powerful aura pressing down on the entire bay and the surrounding sea.
"I’ve long heard that White Jade Bay is a fine location. It seems fated to be with my Bai Clan—we even share a name. I wonder if the Gongsun Clan of White Jade Bay would be willing to part with it?"
A woman’s voice spread gently across the White Jade Bay area. Her tone was slow and leisurely, yet filled with absolute confidence.
"Bullshit! Get lost!"
"Primordial Grand Array!"
’Damn,’ Su Qing thought. ’If I had known, I would have left earlier.’
The moment the Primordial Grand Array appeared,
the entirety of White Jade Bay was turned into a cage.
Su Qing frowned, activating his God Demon Illusion-Breaking Eye to watch the show.
"You’re the audacious one. Did you really think a mere Tier Three mixed array could trap my Bai Family?"
Suddenly, a colossal Dharma Aspect appeared above White Jade Bay and shattered the Grand Array with a single strike.
The Dharma Aspect had a frosty appearance, its body surrounded by weapons made of ice. This was the Dharma Aspect of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
It was much larger than a Golden Core’s Dharma Aspect, at least five hundred meters tall.
"A Dharma Aspect! Impossible! How could Miaoxuan Temple have passed on this technique?"
"Nothing is impossible! Gongsun Clan, are you willing to leave?"
"Otherwise, don’t blame me for being discourteous."
"Hmph! It’s just a Dharma Aspect."
"Primordial Qi Wheel."
And so, all of White Jade Bay was caught in the crossfire.
The young female Nascent Soul cultivator and the young-looking male Nascent Soul cultivator began to engage in Magical Combat.
However, it was obvious the male Nascent Soul cultivator was no match for her.
There wasn’t a large gap in their Realms—both were Nascent Soul High Tier—but he couldn’t break through her Dharma Aspect at all, let alone defeat her.
He was being pushed back at every turn.
Their battle also caused White Jade Bay to tremble.
Many buildings had already collapsed, victims of the mere aftershocks of their fight, which alone could generate such destructive power.
After watching for a while, Su Qing saw another Nascent Soul Realm cultivator enter the fray, also from the Gongsun Clan.
’I’m done watching. This is boring.’
Su Qing shook his head and smiled.
’They can’t even land a killing blow. They can injure each other, but nothing’s fatal.’
’If it were me, I wouldn’t bother with all this trouble. A single sword thrust would be enough.’
’Sword Cultivators seem to be quite rare in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Only that one Sword Cultivator from before seemed to have some real skill.’
’He’d at least have no problem fighting this Nascent Soul’s Dharma Aspect.’
Once outside, Su Qing discovered that the sea near White Jade Bay had been completely frozen over.
Furthermore, a group of cultivators was waiting outside.
They were all wearing similar-looking Magic Robes.
’Looks like they’re from that Bai Family,’ he thought.
—
"There’s a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, Clan Elder. Should we really not stop him?" a young Golden Core cultivator asked.
"No need. Grandma Bai has already given her orders: do not stir up unnecessary trouble. If a cultivator wants to run, let them run."
"Our clan has no interest in their paltry possessions. What’s important is White Jade Bay."
"There are many islands around White Jade Bay, and it’s a port. Once we take it, our family will never have to worry about wealth."
"Don’t create extra problems. Some Great Powers in the Immortal Cultivation Realm enjoy playing the pig to eat the tiger. If we can avoid provoking someone, we should."
The elderly Golden Core High Tier cultivator was very wise. And so, they let Su Qing go.
Little did they know, they had just saved their own skins.
But the young Golden Core cultivator muttered complainingly, "Clan Elder, how can there be so many Great Powers in the Immortal Cultivation Realm? I refuse to believe we could be that unlu—"
The young Golden Core cultivator swallowed the rest of the word.
Because he had just seen the Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly vanish without a trace.
"See? They love to play the pig to eat the tiger. Be more cautious in the future." The Clan Elder was also stunned. A Foundation Establishment cultivator had vanished just like that.
Only the whisper of a breeze gave any indication that the person had truly used a Flying Escape technique to depart.
The young Golden Core cultivator nodded blankly and swallowed, a wave of fear washing over him.
...
...
High above the white clouds, a vast sea of clouds stretched out.
There were no islands in the surrounding sea, nor would there be any cultivators.
No ships followed routes through this area.
Therefore, Su Qing chose this patch of sky above the sea to make his breakthrough.
The God Demon Immortal Infant.
Su Qing was ready.
He swallowed an Elixir brimming with Immortal Qi in a single gulp.
Then, he began to operate the Nascent Soul Formation Technique.
A moment later, Su Qing could feel his God Demon True Essence and Immortal Qi being guided into his sea of consciousness.
The most crucial part of this Cultivation Technique was that his Golden Core would not be shattered to form the Nascent Soul, as was typical with the Broken Pill Core Formation method. Instead, his Golden Core would form the glabella of his Nascent Soul.
...
His image within the God Demon Devouring Universe Map, which had originally been sitting with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes and sent forth a wisp of a Split Soul.
For the God Demon Immortal Infant, the Qi and Soul Union was complete.
Forming the Immortal Infant.
Immortal Qi continuously filled Su Qing’s sea of consciousness.
The vast God Demon True Essence and Immortal Qi within his body all converged in his sea of consciousness.
All that remained was the complex process of Forming the Immortal Infant.
