Free Web NovelChapter 213: Chapter 211: Immortal Technique, Heaven and Earth
Ji Qianqiu found Ouyang Mingming.
He told Ouyang Mingming that she could spend a year cultivating under the Enlightenment Tree.
Watching Ouyang Mingming’s departing figure, Ji Qianqiu couldn’t help but smile faintly.
’Su Qing, ah, Su Qing, I’ll let you bear the infamy of betraying your master.’
...
Ji Qianqiu couldn’t wait any longer. The damage from the Curse Power was becoming outrageous.
Every time he was cursed now, he could feel the terror of the Curse Killing Power.
He had to take action.
He had to force Su Qing to show himself.
’I’ll make him bear the infamy of betraying his master, on top of his existing reputation as a Great Demon.’
’That will force him to show himself.’
’I’ll use the public opinion of the Immortal Cultivation Realm to pressure him.’
’Of course, this is just the ideal scenario. If Su Qing doesn’t care about his reputation—or anything at all... then this plan is useless.’
’It all depends on whether Su Qing has a conscience.’
’Besides, I’ve also laid out a multi-layered information campaign. If Su Qing truly doesn’t care, this first layer of the plan won’t be able to find him anyway. But if the Power of Curse flares up, I’ll be able to get a rough idea of Su Qing’s location—exactly where he is.’
Ji Qianqiu smiled. ’Now we’ll see if he walks into my trap.’
...
...
「Half a year later.」
At this time, Su Qing was still going about his business, setting up Arrays for people.
His biggest client for Arrays was the Fang Family, a prominent household on the island.
They were powerful and had many requests.
Su Qing often visited their residence to perform Array Formation or create Array Plates for them.
「On the road.」
"Have you heard? That Demon Su is causing trouble again."
"Didn’t Demon Su already get his hands on the Immortal Realm? How could he show up and injure his own master? That’s impossible, isn’t it?"
"It must be true. Look, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land even increased the bounty."
"The posters announcing they’d reconciled are all gone. How did the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land get so unlucky, saddled with this Demon?"
"Even though the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land has many Demon Cultivators, most of them don’t cause trouble."
"Yeah, Demon Su is utterly heinous."
...
Su Qing listened from the side, glanced at the words on the public notice, and then left the area.
Su Qing replayed the words from the notice in his mind.
’Saying I came out and injured Ouyang Mingming?’
’What a joke.’
’I haven’t even left the house. How could I have injured my own master?’
’Absolutely ridiculous!’
’Is Ji Qianqiu using my master to threaten me?’
The more Su Qing thought about it, the angrier he became.
Though his face remained calm, his heart was already burning with rage.
’Ji Qianqiu, you have some nerve.’
Right now, Su Qing had no way to confirm his master’s actual condition.
He would have to wait until next month to use his Inference Creatures to perform an Inference.
For now...
...
After setting up an Array for the Fang Family, Su Qing hurried back to his small courtyard.
The day was still young.
This time, Su Qing was truly furious.
’Since this Curse Killing Technique isn’t enough, I’ll just have to make a stronger one.’
’Besides, I have a cost exemption.’
After Su Qing synthesized his Curse Killing Technique with Immortal Transformation three consecutive times...
[Immortal-Suppressing Spell: When using this Secret Technique to Curse Kill an opponent, a single use can entangle a Cultivator of the same Realm in karma, making them extremely likely to die. When used against a Cultivator of a higher Cultivation, even if a single use doesn’t kill them, it will cause misfortune to accumulate, Evil Qi to cling to them, and the Curse Killing Power to assail their body. The effect can be stacked up to forty-nine times. Each use requires the caster to bear one percent of the Curse Killing Power’s effect. The cost of one Curse Kill can be exempted each month.]
"Ji Qianqiu, you’re done for! You’re so done for!"
When Su Qing saw the description of the Immortal-Suppressing Spell, he laughed internally. ’If anything happens to my master, I’ll make sure Ji Qianqiu is utterly destroyed.’
’It’s best not to act right now.’
’I’ll just act normal for a few more months.’
’Or maybe even wait another year.’
’The more I curse him now, the more it will show Ji Qianqiu how much I care about my master. That would only put her in greater danger.’
’Adapt to all changes by remaining unchanged.’
’Then again, by the time I saw that notice, my master was probably already seriously injured.’
’Master, your disciple is powerless.’
’I can’t defeat so many Divinity Transformation experts.’
’If I, Su Qing, can obtain a resurrection Divine Technique in the future, I will bring you back.’
Su Qing sighed.
He silently chanted in his mind, ’Extract.’
The Immortal-Suppressing Spell was slowly absorbed by Su Qing.
A day passed.
A cashmere blanket was now draped over him.
’Did that girl do this?’
Su Qing couldn’t help but smile.
He stood up and stretched. This was the kind of life Su Qing had always yearned for.
’It’s just... too reclusive.’
’I must reach the Divinity Transformation Realm.’
’I already have a Divinity Transformation Technique; all I’m lacking is the Realm itself.’
Su Qing thought about synthesizing the Dharma Image Heaven and Earth.
He had to see if he could replicate this Secret Technique first.
The problem was, he didn’t have any Secret Techniques with good Compatibility to synthesize with Dharma Image Heaven and Earth.
It was an excellent Secret Technique.
’Replicate Dharma Image Heaven and Earth.’
Upon replication, Su Qing’s soul felt a sharp sting, as if from a bee.
’No problem.’
’What does that mean? It means this Secret Technique is even more amazing!’
’The amazing thing about this Secret Technique is that it can manifest a Dharma Aspect without needing some profound catalyst.’
’The person who created this Cultivation Technique was a true genius.’
’Since the cost isn’t that outrageous...’
’...I won’t hold back.’
’Time for a round of Standardization.’
[Synthesis successful: Standardization triggered.]
[First Layer Dharma Aspect of Heaven and Earth: Concentrate one’s essence, qi, and spirit to condense a Dharma Aspect. The stronger the essence, qi, and spirit, the stronger the Dharma Aspect. When in use, all attributes are doubled. The Dharma Aspect possesses a unique nature. (The main body cannot be attacked while the Dharma Aspect is active.)]
The moment he saw the result of Standardization, Su Qing gasped in astonishment.
’This is what a real Rule from Standardization looks like!’
’This is the kind of power I expect from Standardization!’
’Does this mean that while my Dharma Aspect is active, I’m completely invincible?’
’I have to keep synthesizing this.’
Su Qing decided against the God Demon path and opted to go all-in on Immortal Transformation.
The fourth Immortal Transformation synthesis.
...
[Synthesis successful: Immortal Transformation triggered.]
[Heaven and Earth: An Immortal Technique from the dawn of creation. When used, you can use Magical Power to construct a unique Heaven and Earth. It can model the heavens and survey the land. When active, all attributes are increased by ten thousand times. Be mindful of Magical Power consumption. (The main body cannot be attacked while the Dharma Aspect is active.)]
Su Qing was at a loss for words. If he used Heaven and Earth now, he felt he could go head-to-head with a Divinity Transformation expert.
’Just how strong am I? And my attributes are increased by ten thousand times on top of that?’
’With my Swordsmanship, I could probably even kill a Divinity Transformation expert.’
’I wonder what this Secret Technique will actually look like in action.’
Su Qing took a deep breath and sat back down on his reclining chair.
’Extract.’
’Here it comes again.’
’This feeling of knowledge being poured directly into my mind.’
...
Su Qing’s consciousness sank into the Visualization Map. This made him feel much more comfortable, and he focused all his energy on absorbing the Secret Technique.
...
「Three days later.」
Another thin blanket had been laid over Su Qing.
The blanket he had pushed aside was now neatly covering him again.
’That girl...’
Su Qing couldn’t help but smile. ’I’m a Cultivator. How could I possibly catch a cold?’
The Heaven and Earth technique was now his.
All that was left was to use it once.
But using it here would expose him too easily.
’I’ll take a trip to the Nether Sea and see what my Heaven and Earth is really like.’
Just as evening fell, Luo Xingya came out.
She looked so happy she could have jumped for joy. "Sir, you’re awake?"
"Yes. Thank you for your care. You should focus on your Cultivation."
"I need to go out for a while. You can just stay in the house and cultivate. I’ll be back soon."
"Within half a month," Su Qing added.
"If any Cultivators come by asking for Array Formation, just don’t open the door. Tell them I’m out."
Luo Xingya nodded. ’He’s leaving again,’ she thought. ’We haven’t had a proper conversation in so long.’
"I’ll be back soon. Keep up your Cultivation. When I return, I’ll bring something good back for you."
After giving these final instructions, Su Qing flew off.
Once he was a safe distance away from the Profound Bright Islands, his face and figure changed once more.
He flew toward the Nether Sea at full speed.
