Chapter 214: Chapter 212: Changes on Profound Bright Island
Su Qing flew to the Nether Sea at full speed.
A week had already passed.
Su Qing gazed at the deep blue sea and the boundless sky.
He continued flying for a while longer.
There were a few islands nearby, which he made sure to avoid.
Once he reached an empty stretch of sea,
Su Qing activated it.
"Heaven and Earth."
As Su Qing used the technique, his soul, Immortal Infant, and Physique all shuddered.
Then, his perspective suddenly became incredibly lofty.
Looking closely, he saw that he had transformed into a colossal Dharma Aspect, ten thousand zhang tall. His field of vision was impossibly vast, and the sight was nothing short of miraculous.
He observed himself carefully. He was surrounded by the Stars from his Visualization Map, and behind him, 356 Acupoint Worlds were partially manifesting.
Star Wheels accompanied his body; a domain appeared in the world.
Even his Little Immortal Realm was present.
’This power is truly terrifying.’
In his enlarged form, Su Qing could see islands up to a thousand li away.
Ten minutes later,
his Magical Power was significantly drained, and even his soul felt a little weary.
The Heaven and Earth technique ended.
Although it was a power that gathered essence, qi, and spirit, Magical Power was the main resource consumed.
An Immortal Technique.
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, even with his terrifying Cultivation Technique, Su Qing couldn’t afford the cost.
He reverted to his original size.
Su Qing immediately fled.
While his Dharma Aspect had been active, he had sensed the aura of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator rushing over.
’They must have seen the Immortal Realm behind me.’
...
Time to run.
God Demon Ascending Immortal Step.
Su Qing concealed his Cultivation and aura entirely and made his escape. In any case, they wouldn’t be able to find him.
By the time he returned to the Profound Bright Islands,
a long time had passed.
More than ten days.
It was much slower than he had anticipated.
Because the area had been crawling with Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivators.
Su Qing had even sensed a profoundly discordant aura appear within his perception.
He had immediately changed his strategy, disguising himself as a Golden Core Realm Cultivator to make his Flying Escape from the Nether Sea.
’Too terrifying.’
He had almost taken out the Fire Seed from his Synthesizer, ready to take them all down with him.
’After all, I can be resurrected.’
That was why it had taken him so long to get back to the Profound Bright Islands.
This test had been a bit dangerous.
But now he knew his current strength and how long he could maintain Heaven and Earth.
Su Qing now felt he wasn’t afraid of a single Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator, but he was afraid of a group of them.
Fighting one would be easy, but the moment a battle began and he activated his Dharma Aspect, he would be too easily discovered.
The first thing Su Qing did upon his return
was take out Xiaoqing. "Xiaoqing, help me perform an Inference on my master Ouyang Mingming’s safety."
"Yes, Master."
The first Inference of the month was always accurate.
"Master, Ouyang Mingming is very safe at this moment."
"And?"
"Xiaoqing will try to calculate for Master."
"No need." Su Qing sighed and put Xiaoqing away.
Only Xiaoqing’s first calculation of the month was useful.
Su Qing had more faith in the effects of Standardization.
’As long as my master is safe, that’s all that matters.’
’Then I can go back to messing with that Ji Qianqiu.’
Su Qing once again used the Curse Killing Technique to curse him, not the Immortal-Suppressing Spell.
’I have to get him. I must.’
Making Su Qing worry so much about whether his master was dead.
That Ji Qianqiu.
’I’ll let him have an easy half-year for now.’
’When the time comes, I’ll use the Immortal-Suppressing Spell directly.’
---

Meanwhile, after receiving information about Su Qing’s appearance, Ji Qianqiu had rushed to the Nether Sea himself.
He had already been searching the Nether Sea for a long time.
Suddenly, he felt another wave of Curse Killing Power, which instantly damaged his soul.
Ji Qianqiu suppressed his annoyance and consumed a Tier Four Spirit Medicine to recover the damage to his soul.
He continued his search.
"Kid, you just wait. You better hope I don’t catch you."
Otherwise, tearing out his bones and marrow would be letting him off easy.
Ji Qianqiu would turn this guy into a Blood Pool and make him understand a fate worse than death.
...
But this thought was already useless.
Su Qing had long since left the Nether Sea.
Did these Divinity Transformation Cultivators really underestimate Su Qing that much?
What a joke.
’It’s just a Little Immortal Realm.’
Su Qing dared to reveal it, but who would dare claim it for themselves?
Whoever tried would be ganged up on immediately.
An Immortal Realm, after all, represented infinite possibilities.

After things returned to a peaceful routine,
"Young Master, I’ve reached the Second-Layer of Qi Cultivation!"
Luo Xingya bounced out,
looking extremely happy.
Su Qing looked at the happy Luo Xingya and patted her head. "That’s great."
Then, Su Qing took out a Spirit Fruit that could alter one’s aptitude.
It wasn’t much, just a tenfold increase to her own Cultivation Talent.
One could say it was quite fast.
With Luo Xingya’s current talent, after consuming this Spirit Fruit, she would reach the limit for refining Magical Power within three years and could then break through.
When the time came, Su Qing would see what happened if he let Luo Xingya take one of the Foundation Establishment Pills he had synthesized.
He wanted to see how effective a powerful Foundation Establishment Pill would be.
Su Qing currently had the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula and an inexhaustible supply of Spirit Medicine.
He had nothing to worry about.
"Young Master, what is this?"
"A Spirit Fruit."
"You need to eat it all yourself. If you try to sell it, you’ll find out what a huge loss that would be. This is specifically for you."
"Remember, only you can eat it," Su Qing emphasized.
He had Luo Xingya take it.
Luo Xingya held it in her hands, at a loss. She wanted to eat it right away, but it was already nighttime.
"Young Master, I’ll go tidy up for you first."
"No need. Go back and cultivate directly. It’s not like I eat often. Once a month will be fine from now on. You should use this time to practice Magic and your Cultivation Technique."
"Go eat the Spirit Fruit first."
"Yes, Young Master. I’ll go right now." Luo Xingya was sensible and obedient, doing as Su Qing said.
’Very good.’
’Her temperament is quite good.’
Su Qing then returned to studying Arrays.
For some reason, it seemed that few conflicts had occurred on the Continent.
There was much less news about the Demon Court.
Furthermore, almost all Sects had started establishing miniature Arrays and practicing miniature Artifact Refining Techniques.
The changes were, in a word, immense.
He had learned all this from various sources.
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land, in particular, had almost surpassed the Zhengxuan Sect.
At the same time,
many islands in the Celestial Sea Realm had become the territory of various Sects.
In particular, the number of Array Masters within these Sects was much higher than usual.
Teleportation Arrays—nearly every island had one. They were extravagantly wealthy.
This was because Teleportation Arrays could only be set up by Tier Three Array Masters.
Although Su Qing was a Tier Three Array Master,
he didn’t know how to set up a Teleportation Array.
He didn’t understand the principles behind them. Without even a single Array Map, how was he supposed to figure it out from scratch?
The most he could do was inscribe the runes from a Talisman Master’s Escape Talisman onto an Array, but the destination would be random.
...
...
「Three months later.」
Su Qing had been staying in his courtyard, constantly using his Synthesizer in order to upgrade it.
Luo Xingya ran back from outside, looking very hurried.
"Young Master, Young Master! Something big seems to have happened on the island!"
"Take a breath. What’s the big deal? Why are you so excited?" Su Qing said helplessly.
"It looks like a Sect has come to cause trouble for the Fang Family on the island."
"There are a lot of Flying Magical Artifacts, and one of them is huge," Luo Xingya said.
Su Qing finally released his spiritual sense to take a look. To his surprise, two Golden Core Realm Cultivators had arrived, along with an exceptionally large Flying Magical Artifact shaped like a smooth olive.
However, with the Array runes and various Spiritual Qi fluctuations appearing on it, it was clearly a weapon of great power.
Su Qing could feel it.
The symbol of the Zhengxuan Sect.
’I wonder what the Zhengxuan Sect is doing here.’
"Young Master, should we leave the island to hide for a while?" Luo Xingya asked quietly.
Ever since she began her Immortal Cultivation, she had come to realize how cruel the Immortal Cultivation Realm was. Luo Xingya had once seen a Cultivator killed on the spot over an Elixir worth a little over a hundred Spirit Stones.
She had only avoided danger because she ran away fast enough.
It was a cruel but valuable lesson for Luo Xingya.
Ever since then, she had worried about this and that.
